Welcome back to Humor Nation. Sometimes the writers create a character while keeping a specific actor in mind, they develop the character in a manner that it fits the personality and mannerisms of an actor who is going to play it.

One of the very first demons we have encountered in the Supernatural.

In Season 5, after the devil is freed, Meg returns to serve him and do his bidding. This time the character of Meg is played by Rachel Miner.
