Because Tak makes her first and only appearance in Tak: The Hideous New Girl, she doesn't have much

interaction with Zim, and therefore a proper relationship can't exactly be established. However, their feelings towards each other are made more than clear, and these feelings are mainly of a hostile nature.

From what Tak has revealed about her own personality, she can be described as vindictive and bitter, and is capable of holding quite the grudge. This is best illustrated in her relentlessness in tracking down Zim to punish him for ruining her chances of becoming an Invader. She went so far as to track him down to Earth and set up her own base of operations in order to steal his mission and get the honor she thinks she deserves from the Almighty Tallest.

Zim, although he definitely sees Tak as a nuisance, does not seem to take her very seriously. Even when she plants bugs in his base and becomes a major threat to his "mission", Zim still fails to see the damage she could really do. When he learns of her plan through MiMi's memory disc, he merely says that "her little joke has gone far enough". However, he finds that getting rid of her is harder than it seems, and he ends up needing the help of Dib and Gaz to ultimately send her off. During their final battle outside of Earth's atmosphere, Tak attempts to explain that his mission on Earth was a lie told by the Tallest to get rid of him. In the end as he makes a report to the Tallest, Zim brushes it off as "lies".

Had the series gone on for a longer time, Tak would have reappeared, making her a recurring villain trying to get in Zim's way. In Top of the Line, she would have entered a competition among the other Invaders, during which their SIR Units would be put through a series of tests (not unlike a dog show). Tak's role would have been to sabotage the other SIRs, leaving all but MiMi, Skoodge and Tenn´s SIR Units and GIR destroyed. Because the script was never recovered, her interaction with Zim during the course of the episode is to be determined.

After her appearance in The Hideous New Girl, her voice appears in Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars and Dibship Rising through her crashed ship, which has her personality downloaded into it. Zim recognizes her ship during both encounters he has with it, although he makes no comment on her or how Dib got the ship.
