I doubt it could possess a starborn unless he or she agreed to it as a partnership.

And it probably would have had a lot of trouble puppeting Thomas for any length of time without Harry noticing something off. Justine was in some ways a better asset anyway, being near-total leverage over Thomas and an eye on most of Lara's business that went through her secretary.

Would Harry have noticed though?  Didn't seem to notice Justine at all.  Didn't notice it when the Summer Lady was either.  Neither Thomas, or Lara appeared to know about Justine either

I think Nemesis needs to be able to offer something- to alter your nature outside of what reality allows.

It can't or won't possess people who fundamentally accept who/what they are.

Be an interesting twist re: Thomas. It would mean as much as he hates his Hunger...deep down he feels he wouldn't be Thomas without it. Or he loves being super-hot.

He didn't have a clue N even existed when interacting with Aurora. But he was twigging that something was odd about Justine after, what, an hour or so? The cornerhound attack was to distract him from thinking too much about how something seemed not quite right about her reactions, even if it failed to eliminate him outright.

And she's just Thomas' girlfriend who he sees occasionally - he's got a much broader and deeper baseline of interacting with his brother normally to tell if something isn't being mimicked right.

How would Harry have noticed a change in them? He didn't even know how many Faerie Queens there were. Did he react with Justine outside of GP and BR when she wasn't infected? He lived with Thomas for about two years.

We know Lea was after power, Aurora wanted to change what she didn't have the power to change, and Maeve wanted to hurt Mab. Maybe Justine wanted to be more than a near vegetable?
