I think Torg has an interesting duality that is almost as black and white as Riff's, but certainly with some quirks. Torg is clearly an empath and connects with most living creatures, to a point. He wants to see the good in other sentient beings and often finds it. I'm not sure how much of that is "I can fix her" as much as it is simply finding the good, bonding with it, and forming a mutual loyalty from that connection. Kiki fits that version of Torg - with a much more innocent viewpoint.

Torg's lack of innocence is revealed when a sentient being poses a direct threat to him or his friends...

I think Schlock was an interesting character in that sense for both of them. I note that Torg never connected with him, never tried to find the good and bond with it. Schlock was just "there" for him, and he left the "relationship" to Riff. Whereas Riff did connect with Schlock, and although he understood Schlock to be problematic, he continued to work with him and/or use him as needed. Interestingly, 4U City did not change this view for Riff. Not really. At least not immediately. He thought he saw himself in Schlock, and perhaps empathized to a point, which we usually see as Torg's role.

I think that's partially because Riff's black and white approach often has less to do with perceived moral/ethical behavior and more to do with perceived innate nature (i.e. "monsters" need to be eliminated). Schlock, as monstrous as his behavior was, was still human, so Riff probably didn't view him in through the same lens as vampires, demons, etc.

She's not human anymore. Can she be possessed?

Now if she can be possessed and Tabby does possess her, there's no organs to expel. She's just paper.

On a different subject, it's interesting that, of all her friends, it's Zoë who can effectively use the spell that bind super-natural being to a book, because, if Gwynn had any kind of means to control who could actually learn to use that spell, she wouldn't want it any other way.

My point is, Gwynn's nature now make so she could also be captured by this spell and Zoë is the person she trust the most, might she ever need to be restrained.

Holy cow. That's another really good point. I hadn't considered that she could now be imprisoned in the book.

So Gwynn is equivalant, in this regard, to Torg's pants?

More to the point, she is (to some degree) monstrous.

I'm amused by the implication that Gwynn is more pantslike than demon or fey.

Want to know why gwynn is pants like? She's good in an emergency.

Given that the book of Uhglee seems to reveal the true nature of its tenants... I think if Gwynn gets put into the book at some point, we're going to have a VERY interesting visual representation of her character.
