Does anyone have any insights on why Alchemy is taking this so personally? What was so hurtful about Teddy pleading with her to find a way to change form to save Chloe? I consider myself a quite emotional and sensitive person, but I just don't get her reaction... but maybe that is purposeful on the writer's part. Then again I am not easily offended either as I try to consider other points of view when I feel insulted.
I'll try a guess; As Kamino Neko suggests above, it has to do with Alchemy's self identification.
It's not only the desire to be and stay female, but also the desire to be Teddy's female companion. Kimmy does not want to harm the illusion of Teddy/Kimmy male/female long term couple relationship.
Unlike Chloe, we have not been privy to any Alchemy day dreams where she imagines a couple rather than a lonely isolated reaper. Kimmy's comments though are illuminating.
When they met. Alchemy goes from "Stop looking at my butt" to "Are you interested in me" to "I can visit you in hell"

Alchemy is lonely, she has, currently, chosen which gender she want to be and is very interested in a real relationship. Her concept of being in a relationship leaped amazingly from nebulous intro to full fledged already existing relationship.
Just Alchemy happening to be standing on Teddy's ceiling watching him sleep is rather definitive. If it isn't an existing relationship, then she is stalking Teddy. A situation that reminds me of someone who played Supergirl's boyfriend and dumped her. Hell hath no fury...
I could be very wrong; and others might have better ideas. Till Monday when we find out a little more...
Then again, this might be the safest way for Teddy, is that Alchemy breaks up their 'thing'. If Alchemy knows, or finds out, about Lacy's adventure with Teddy; Lacy may not be safe. Oops!

What's more, will she hasten "the end" of any wolf whistlers who impede her running? Big curvy knife and all.

Isn't she invisible to normal people?
I think if Alchemy ran by me in that outfit, I'd start sweating even if I couldn't see her.
Some days; I completely lose what is normal in this strip
.
Naomi has a part time guardian angel whose halo she keeps borrowing.
Lucretia is a succubus who can see angels and demons, so I assume reapers are included; like when Chloe blocked Alchemy from slicing Teddy.
Links fixed. Boy, how is it even possible to overlook that you had multiple broken links that were all identical?? The DAMNed
