in a sense, mimi is also a defect. she isn’t like gir, as she was built normally and works brilliantly most, if not all, of the time. however, a small fault in her system causes her to act more like a cat than a robot, which may have something to do with her disguise.

tak is a defective. because of this she shares some traits with zim, such as having a stronger devotion to the tallest than most irkens, and perhaps an overconfidence in her abilities – though she’s far more contained than zim is.

headcanon that when tak gets extremely emotional her disguise flickers omg
