In this fanfiction, Dib could find himself in a situation where he has to rely on his wits more than ever. When meeting the Tallest, he may discover some secrets about the Irken race that could change the whole dynamic of his fight against Zim. The Tallest might underestimate Dib at first, seeing him as just a human child. But Dib, being Dib, would use this to his advantage. Zim would be his usual self, trying to prove his worth to the Tallest while also trying to stop Dib from ruining his plans. It could be a really interesting exploration of the characters' relationships and the power dynamics in the Invader Zim universe.
Dib in this fanfiction is the curious and determined character. He is the one who will dig deep into the secrets of the Tallest. His role is crucial as he might be the only one who can see the real danger they pose. Zim, well, he's the chaotic element. He's not really on Dib's side but also not fully on the Tallest's side. He's just out for himself. The Tallest are the overarching antagonists. They hold the power in the Irken world and their actions drive the plot, whether it's through their plans for Earth or their relationship with Zim.
Often, there's a theme of self - discovery. As Female Zim is a different take on the character, she might be on a journey to figure out who she is in this new form. Also, the theme of adaptation is common. Just like in the original where Zim has to adapt to Earth, Female Zim may have her own unique ways of adapting, whether it's to Earth's environment or to the reactions of the other characters around her. And there's also the theme of power. How does being female change Zim's perception and use of power? This is something that many fanfictions like to play with.
