	+ Mephis' birthday, as stated on Uchinokomato.me, is **April 27th**, notable for being a day after the Chernobyl disaster, April 26th, 1986.
* Mephis' favorite element is **plutonium**, a radioactive nuclear chemical element.
* Mephis' hobby is stated to be **nuclear physics**, which is likely her study major as well.
* Mephis' has been stated to drink corium in a deleted tweet. Corium is a highly dangerous radioactive concoction known for having been created in the Chernobyl meltdown. A large famous portion of it dubbed the "Elephant's Foot".
* Mephis is currently stated to be trapped specifically in a cement prison, referencing the large cement casing built around the Chernobyl power plant to prevent the radioactive spread.
* Mephis wanting the power of stars may be a nod to nuclear fusion, a type of nuclear chemistry that currently only stars seem to have the ability to create.
* Mephis' connections to the theme of nuclear fusion may be a reference to the character Utsuho Reiuji from the Touhou Project.
* Mephis' name may come from **Mephis**topheles, a demon from German folklore.
* Mephis's official profile states she is a succubus type of demon. The differences between regular demons and succubi in Pyo's works is not yet stated.
* The suit of Doctor Octopus from the 2019 movie Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse, bears similarities to Mephis' jumpsuit in both design and color scheme, though Mephis' outfit concepts predate that of the aforementioned villain.
* Before her drastic redesign in 2018, the 2012 version of Mephis appeared to be a violet haired angel named *Teacher Mephis* (メフィス先生). Most of this design seems to have been disregarded completely, aside from the heterochromic eyes and significant curls in her hair.
* Some of Mephis artwork shows her with a black and green tail, though this is not present on her official artwork or in recent illustrations, likely meaning it was scrapped or torn off.
