Potentially distinct, but we also know elfs are sometimes considered demons.
When we hear about the Demon Goddess's demons, or Brigitta says her father was
a --- (she never actually finishes, we're just led to connect her with the
story of someone marrying a demon), I don't think we can guarantee what's
being talked about.  The narrator of that book seems reliably omniscient for
events, but not necessarily for global classification.

I'd lean to 'demon' myself, because I don't believe elfs and humans
crossbreeding until told otherwise -- same genetic stock sure, so what, we're
the same genetic stock as a baboon -- but 'reality' could go either way.
