Leanansídhe are wild faeries who change their shape and appearance through illusion.
Description[]
Leanansídhe select a human target and seduce him/her by taking the shape of whomever or whatever he/she would want to see, and would feed on the victim's blood and skin. This change of shape only appears in the mind of their target, and to onlookers, the leanansídhe would still appear in her own true form.
Her true form is that of a woman that Julian Blackthorn described as both "beautiful and also hideous", with her smooth, unwrinkled, and pale skin; red lips; gray, fine hair; and ageless appearance.[1]
History[]
In September 2012, a leanansídhe approached Julian Blackthorn in the Unseelie lands. She took the form of his parabatai and love Emma Carstairs and kissed him, only to be exposed when Julian recognized her kiss as distinctly not Emma's. He pushed her away, and any attempt on Julian was further disrupted when Mark and Cristina arrived.[1]
