The Medeiros girl: possed, infected or both?

We've seen all the [REC] movies and by now many of us are wondering what the hell is going on: we've been told the Medeiros girl is/was the source of the infection {or possesion}, and that she could only be seen in complete darkness, in fact, she inhabited a different plane, etc.

I just read the [REC]: Historias Ineditas graphic novel, which is 100% cannon since it was written by the saga creators. One of the chapters reveals the origin of Medeiros, to sum it up, she was a young cook/worker at a convent, and one night a bunch or depraved priests attacked her and left her for dead. The next day a nun found her and called another priest to give her the last rites, upon having a consacrated waffer placed in her mouth, she woke up in a rage and started killing everyone, she seemed defenetly possesed and she was treated as such since then. Nothing was explained about the worm/seed/parasite inside her.

So, what is it: she was possesed by a demonic entity because of the fracking priests that attacked her, or was she infected somehow during the aforementioned crime?

Thoughts?

She was both. There are two sides:

Possession: the demonic entity manifested inside her...

Infection: ...and assumed the form of a parasite while the possession was found out able to spread rabies-like.

The franchise simply mixes both.

I don't get it...I thought she was supposed to be a kid? Or at least a find when she was infected. All the photos of her made her look 12...14 max.

Perhaps young, raped, delirious Medeiros cursed the sicko priests and swore to get revenge on them, and this opened her up for demonic possession?

Perhaps the mosquito bites we've heard about meant that she was swarmed by insects who were carriers of the demonic spawn at just the right time in her life?

I think it was the former. In her weakened, victimized, immature state, she was an easy victim for this monster.

Either way, Medeiros was therefore possessed by a demon.

The priest Father Abelda tried experimenting with her, but his experiments ultimately failed, and then he determined that she needed to die in order to keep her from causing further harm.

I believe that he probably tried to starve her passively at first, because he didn't have the heart to DO anything to her yet.

And a hungry, ravenous, still-possessed Medeiros probably was driven to come up with a way to prolong her life, despite the priest's negligence. I think the possessed Medeiros decided to bite herself and infect herself with this infection, turning herself into a demon-zombie.

Abelda then realized that he would need to go in and actually physically kill her at that point. Easier said than done. He was the one who ended up dead, locked inside the apartment/attic/ductwork/prison with her.

Medeiros might've stayed locked up in her mystical prison forever, had she not hatched a devious plan. She was able to spread a pestilence or infection through mosquitos into the apartment, which created more demon-zombies, which attracted attention to the apartment building.

And then all Hell broke loose.

The demon wanted to get out of its prison. It couldn't possibly do that in the vile Medeiros zombie form. So it baited Angela into the apartment with it, and transferred itself into her. This possessed Angela. But she did not become a demon-zombie though.

Medeiros, OTOH, lost the demon-slug, so she was then only an infected demon-zombie, and no longer possessed by the demon itself.

When the demon passed from Angela into the soldier Guzman, Angela was no longer possessed, either.
