Mimzy is a sinner demon and a singer who owns a club.[3] She is a minor character in Hazbin Hotel who made her official debut in "Dad Beat Dad".
Appearance
Mimzy is a short and plump demon with pale-lilac skin and platinum-blonde hair, which has been kept into a 1920s-style bob cut. Her eyes have cerise-colored pupils, black sclera, and thick lashes colored in a very dark shade of magenta. She has sharp pale yellow teeth inside her mouth and dark magenta lips, as well as darker-colored blush. Her nose is also a beak shape.
Mimzy wears a bright pink 1920s-style flapper dress with pale yellow and black detailing, resembling film tape, alongside a pair of maroon heels. She accessorizes with a set of magenta opera gloves, a black pearl-necklace with a cerise gem in the middle, and a maroon headband held by an oval-shaped cerise gem, which has a pair of feathers in two shades of maroon with yellow dots.
On the back of her right shoulder, she appears to have a cerise Mammon tattoo.
Personality
Mimzy is a bratty, materialistic diva,[4] who appears to have many self-centered traits that the people around her react strongly to. She appears to conflict with other strong personalities. As seen in "Dad Beat Dad", Mimzy is very thirsty for attention and self-centered, bursting into the hotel in the middle of Alastor and Lucifer's duet. According to Husk, Mimzy only comes around when she is need of something, which is proven true as she owed some loan sharks money, hiding in the hotel to let Alastor deal with them. Mimzy also assumes that others will clean up her own messes. Aside from all her rude traits, she cares at least a little bit for her friends, even hugging Alastor and being friendly to the hotel staff.
She has been described as larger than life ambitious, and determined, as well as insecure, sad, depressed, and consumed by the need to be famous.[note 1]

Relationships
Alastor
Alastor and Mimzy get along well due to knowing each other in their human lives, with Alastor a recurring patron at the bar Mimzy sang at. Alastor is highly tolerant of Mimzy and very close to her, going so far as sharing a hug with Mimzy despite his general distaste for touch. However, Alastor does dislike Mimzy deliberately bringing danger to the hotel, telling her that she needs to leave and that she can come back there if she really wants a shot at redemption, but doubts she will.
Husk
Due to Alastor having acquired Husk's soul in the past and their long "partnership" since then, Mimzy is familiar with Husk and has known him for a long time. As shown, despite their long acquittance, Husk dislikes Mimzy deeply, having stated to not be happy to see her when she showed up in the hotel. As shown, Husk is fully aware of Mimzy's selfish personality and how she only goes to Alastor when she needs something or needs him to clean up the messes she creates. With Husk implying that she had caused numerous problems in the past and dragged Alastor, and by extension Husk, into them to clean them up.
Niffty
Due to her long friendship with Alastor, Mimzy has also known Niffty for a long time, similar to Husk.
Loan Sharks
At some point, she got involved with a bunch of loan sharks and borrowed $50,000 from them and stole a car and crashed it into a loan shark's girlfriend, eventually getting in trouble and making her go to Alastor for help.

Development
- According to Vivziepop, Mimzy is a flapper girl that she vaguely based off a chicken, which is why she gave her a tiny beaky nose.[5]
- During Mimzy's development, across Zoophobia and early drafts of Hazbin Hotel, she was "head over heels in love" with Alastor and early illustrations depicted the two in a romantic relationship.[6][7] This element of their dynamic has since been moved on from, with Alastor being re-written as uninterested in all forms of romance.
- Faustisse has the opinion that Mimzy's crush on Alastor is a "joke that will never die".[note 4]
- When asked about Mimzy's connection to Alastor for the current series, Vivziepop felt that Mimzy and Alastor had known each other when they were living, giving their familiarity as the reason for their good relationship in the hotel.[8] Furthermore, when asked about Alastor and Mimzy, Vivziepop stated the two of them would get along due to them having a similar timeframe that they existed in.[9] This element was carried through in "Dad Beat Dad".
