Right back at ya, You are quiet sweet. But what is this about A fae that you speak?
I'm not incline to like Those blasted little creatures. With their annoying habits, And peculiar features.
But if it's a challenge of words, Then I'll take home the prize. And bring big, fat, tears, To that Fae-child's eyes. ...............................

Firstly, while the profile is cute in how you've written it, it's to me more than irksom. It's pretty much leaving me with very little to go on. You spend a great deal of time just going on in rhymes and not providing any real personality. To be really honest, the ability to rhyme isn't something that showcases him. His personality blurb is more or less used to explain: Why he talks like he does. His family history. Why he's at the academy. The most of his personality you really show is that he'd rather take life easy. That he's proud of being an imp. And wants to be the best like no one ever was.
Plus, You also use quite a few meta gaming words and phrases. Which is off putting. He gets under my character's skin? Drive them crazy for weeks? I get you are writing to do the rhyming thing, but it's not helping in terms of providing a wholesome rounded character or giving me a good impression of his actual personality. You also do the power play in:
● Often considered the minions of the demon world, imps are something to be wary about. While their small statue makes other demons feel they are more inferior and often seen as more of helpers than those of grander and more renowned demons, imps make up for there lack of power in terms of trickery.
So far there are no imps In shop, and even so, it's still bordering meta gaming setting and whatnot. Switching up the wording and it would be much more smoothly transitioned and playable.
● TG's family deals with the fear of loosing wealth or objects of value. His father visits business workers and other people who prize grand objects or harbor geed and gathers fear by tricking them to believe they have lost something - often through illusion.
Since this is something that has direct contact with human word, I'd ask the admins take on it and how it can be played. And also, what kind of objects? Most people who are wealthy tend to place more 'worth' in objects of sentimentality. In fact, most people worry more about loosing things with emotional attachment then monetary. Just saying.
● T.G. knows he's short, and knows how to use his tiny, cute factor to his advantage. He often tricks people into thinking he's weak and needs help when really he is just playing to their kindness and pity.
This runs counter to what little personality I've seen of him. It's also once more, written in metagaming tone and wording.
While the whole gimmick of having a profile in rhyme is cute, it is not helpful. I have so little to go on that there isn't anything I can give a good solid critique on. As a side note, Rhyming gets old, really. Really. REALLY. Fast. Both as a player, and as a reader. I would highly consider toneing down the MUST SPEAK THIS WAY ALL THE TIME aspect. Perhaps he only does it in front of those he wishes to impress or, authority figures. Or just having him drop it altogether but use it when he wants to be annoying.
I don't think what you have written should just be erased, but having an actual written and comprehensible personality and profile would be immensely helpful. The concept of an imp is pretty interesting. Also, you mention his body temperature. Why is that important? In being a demonic imp, are we talking Fae imp? Or more like Catholicism representation, the theatrical version, the romantical? You have combined several aspects of all of them.
Also, check with admins on having him being related to what could be considered the 'famous' imp. Rumpelstiltskin. Also considering that the variants of what manner of creature Rumpelstiltskin even IS, is debatable. Fae, demonic being, goblin, a spirit. I might just avoid that since to me, is seems kind of undeed and just trying to make him more special than needed.

Wow. That is Incredible helpful and I in no way noticed how I was stating things as if they were fact. Thank you so much. I'll put this into a serious revision overhaul!

OH GOD HE SOUNDS LIKE SO MUCH FUN! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
FIRST OFF Him and Charlie need to hang out a lot and get CANDY.
Second off his fear sounds awesome but this part here: Usually this requires him to know a thing or two about the person he is facing. I think you may be shooting your self in the foot with that. I don't know if everyone he fights would sit down with him and have a little chat about things they like and then fight? I like the illusion and the sense of loss though. Idk. I think it puts you at a little unfair disadvantage? Maybe instead he could instill the fear of loss in the person and their mind fills in the blank to as what it is? That way its not a god mod and that way it doesnt put you at a disadvantage fighting some of the unkinder things.
Also, how would he react to a high class monster? Tahkis family for example, is in the same line of work as T.G.'s family with banking. They guarded treasure for centuries and then modernized it to banking. Would he still consider her lower class based on race or would he see her as an equal or something in between?
Then that leads me to the question about demons. Charlie for example would be considered a low class citizen. Fallen angels are not lower demons but Charlie usually doesn't have two pumpkin seeds to rub together. Not to mention, Charlies on the not the brightest crayon in the box side.
All and all though, you have a very solid character who I REALLY want to see come to be * A * I love him! And even though he doesnt like hugs, I'd hug him too! <3

Yeah. I can see what you mean about the Fear. I should tweak that. I do like your idea better, and I'll check to see if placing a feeling of loose in a person isn't stepping over any lines. I do want to keep a sense of loose of processions as a theme with him.
For high ranking monsters, he would not see them as equals unless his dads said they were worth investing time to create business relations with. He still wouldn't see them as anything but a monster, something low-class to a demon no matter how high ranking, but put for the effort to fake it and become their friend to appease his fathers. If they were owning a rival bank to his fathers two banks, they most likely he would want to become their friend to then learn their business secrets and then destroy their company or hate you outright for being a competitor.
As for low-ranking demons, he would talk to you at least, but probably see them as someone to have as a tag-along buddy but not someone he would invest too much effort in pleasing or making friends with. But hey, at least you are on his radar in some degree, even if he would point out you are no way way as high ranking as he was.

:O T.G. Seems so much fun so far and I hope he can go to the Academy someday!
He seems like a lot of fun and I enjoy how you set up his profile, very unique and fun to read, at least for me.
I also enjoy his design, very fun. <33
..I suck at critiquing. I can only do praise. OTL XDDDD

Side note! Vamps is actually wrong about there not being an imp character in shop: Morrigan, Meeki's character, is an imp. An inactive imp, but an imp nevertheless!

I actually contacted Meeki to make sure I wouldn't step on her toes. The only thing she has established is that her character is not highly regarded in her family because she is a imp, and her natural ability is heat manipulation.

Miss Arel moved onto the next application form, staring at its charred edges. A fire elemental demon? Instantly rejected.
It was too bad the Enrollment Bin had other ideas.
