A "ghostly demon" who is almost always lurking at spots rumored for paranormal activity, her favourite one a popular "dare date" spot due to the various rumors associated with it. Considered nothing more than a rumor before she decided to finally show herself. She decided to take up an invitation to come study at the academy once a meeting with some instructors revealed her talent for fear-based illusion magic. Generally polite, her expressions often put people off due to her gloomy eyes and unnerving smile.  She finds the effect she has on people amusing and will tease or play pranks on her fellow students, especially those she likes. She has a reputation for being a friendly but eerie and unpredictable gremlin as a result. Despite this, she's quick to offer help when others are in trouble and has a legitimately frightening side to her when her friends are in danger, implying she's more a "vengeful spirit" than a typical "earthbound ghost". 

She changes clothes often, ranging from bloodstained and tattered nun habits to stylish goth outfits.  She is drawn to people with traumatic experiences and will often offer to use her illusions to give them some peace and quiet when they're stressed. Her main passion is studying monsters and other lesser known creatures and once her graduation is complete, she intends to travel the world documenting those that are too dangerous for the living to approach.
