In this excerpt from Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Devil May Cry," a character reflects on a humorous misunderstanding regarding her identity and heritage. Artemis, presumably unaware, is called out for her confusion by Simi, who asserts her own identity and confidence. Simi highlights the misconceptions that can arise, particularly emphasizing her attributes that others may envy, such as her beauty and fashion sense.

Simi's playful tone reveals her self-assuredness, as she humorously addresses Artemis's error by stating that she is the one who truly stands out. By dismissing the notion of being a "heifer-goddess," she reinforces her unique persona and implies there is no need to mimic others. This interaction underscores themes of identity, self-worth, and the playful dynamics often found in Kenyon's writing.
