And yet, DSP just slaps Demon on Mors, and Wizard on Minami! It's like the race of their parents don't even matter! DSP gonna be choosing just one! While characters like Higan get a New Class treatment and gets stamped as an official Demon-Angel cross! Like, THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR SO LONG!!! Now this is where your botherment lies; the misinterpretation that Higan is in a section labelled as Hybrid. See, Higan's character section is labelled with only an '''eye. '''There's nothing "indecisive" or "inconsistent" with DSP's categorization. They are categorizing their characters exactly how they imagine. What is inconsistent is the lens of which their fans view it.

We have some tags that aren't even canon, either. Wizards? Witches? Eh? When did DSP ever draw a distinction between the two? Witches and "wizards" have been lumped together into one category by DSP. We were the ones who drew a distinction between the two. Madhata has been labelled a wizard(when we don't even know if he is one). We're the ones with inconsistencies, not DSP. DSP only has "inconsistencies" because it's inconsistent with our thinking.

The only things that we can really take to be true for categories is:

Gods: The section is clearly defined, since the only members are Gods

Devils: The section is clearly defined, since the only members are Devils

Angels: The section is clearly defined, since the only members are Angels. It can also be clearly recognized by its symbol(an angel)

Demons: The section is clearly defined, since the only members are Demons. It can also be clearly recognized by its symbol(a stereotypical demon)

Yokai: The section is clearly defined, since the only members are Yokai, and the Yokai the characters were based off of can be found with some research. It can also be clearly recognized by its symbol(a tengu mask, and a tengu is a yokai)

Animals: The section is clearly defined, since the only members are animals. It can also be clearly recognized by its symbols(which are a bunch of different symbols related to animals)

Humans: The section is clearly defined, since the only members are humans. It can also be clearly recognized by its symbol(which is a human silhouette)

We can only speculate about the other ones, seeing as we have no clear origin for their symbols and we don't know the connection for some of them. What's the rose? What's the pumpkin and star of david? What's the star? What's the shooting star? What's the heart? The eye? The laurel and confusion symbol? The moon? We have no idea and we only have speculations.

Besides, how would DSP even label characters as Hybrids? It's something that they can't do with the way they've sorted their characters. It's more mettle than it's worth to try and label them hybrids(Minami and Higan in the same section? Wot?) or having them appear in multiple sections and confuse people even more(Minami is an animal? What?)

It's okay if we have different tags, isn't it? We can separate Witches and Wizards. Label things as hybrids. We're a wiki, right? Some things we interpret to our own advantage. We don't need to be very indecisive and have DSP shove the answer chiseled into a concrete block into our faces. We wouldn't be wrong to label Minami as a hybrid, nor Higan. Just because DSP hasn't labelled it so doesn't mean it's wrong.
