Lejl Kaleidos
Defining Lejl as a "human being" would be inaccurate and imprecise. Lejl has a body made of flesh and bones, this is a fact, but she himself is definitely no human. Lejl is a manifestation of Amy's repressed violent, psychotic and sadistic behaviors, being at the same time a solid emanation of the reality oscillation phenomenon (ROP) known as "The Walking Night".
At the end of 2062, the city of New Langdon faced a strange, supernatural event: whole buildings started distorting during the night, lamps flickering, whirlwind of leaves and dust rhythmically dancing in the streets, stars blinking and disappearing, as if an invisible, incorporeal entity was roaming through the alleys.
This "entity" killed more than ten people, literally devouring or tearing them apart, and was later classified as a class 3 reality oscillation phenomenon, codenamed "The Walking Night". The name came from a traditional nursery rhyme, used to try and stop the children from going out too late.
"The Walking Night" disappeared all of a sudden, after about one month since its first appearance. Detective Veckert Rainer from the St. Patrick SHIELD police dept. found a connection between the apparition and a hooded vagrant, who called himself "Baal the Mad". The man managed to escape, and was later identified as Silman "Rosenmaester" Simmerik, believed to be dead.
It is unknown what caused "The Walking Night" to appear again and take over Amy's body - and probably it never will - but the simple fact that a ROP could snatch a human body and use it as its own avatar is unheard and extremely worrying.
Controlled by Lejl late at night, Amy assassinated several people and consumed them in the evermoving shadows that cloaked her body.
However, one must remember that Lejl is, in all effects, a different being from Amy, with her own motives and separate memories. Whether her misdeeds can be ascribed to her host body, this is still up to debate.
