Len is a Succubus Demon Familiar with the ability to manipulate dreams, created from infusing the soul of a deceased human girl into the body of a cat. As such, she is capable of shifting between the forms of a black cat and a prepubescent human girl. She once served a Magus several centuries ago, after whose death she was taken under the care of [[Arcueid Brunestud]]. Although she was under Arcueid's charge, because Arcueid is not human, they were unable to create a contract, therefore Len is not considered Arcueid's Familiar. |
