Aylin Mary Yang
Aylin Mary Yang (or Amy, as she prefers being called) is a somewhat brooding girl of mixed descent: her father was a Chinese engineer working in the distortion plant of Zhangyao, while her mother was a Swedish economist working as a consultant. Amy was born in China and lived there until her family moved to Euterpe for the construction of a new distortion power plant. During her school time in China, she was discriminated against for her appearance, having marked western traits and being mockingly nicknamed "white Aylin" or "bloodless Mary" by her schoolmates. In her free time, to vent her repressed rage, she used to practice oriental martial arts, combining them with traditional dances and pirouettes.
Since her house was located inside the power plant, the continuous leaks and outbursts of distortion energy due to cheap maintenance made her extremely sensitive to reality oscillation phenomena, without her ever noticing in the first place. This has never been considered a problem, until many years later.
Her father's obsession for success led her to go through a rigid education, which made her grow an extremely rebellious nature, which concretized once they moved to Europe: after having convinced her parents to let her study in the United Kingdom, she just disappeared into nothingness, cutting all the connections with her relatives. To make a living, she started working at the nightclub "Le Coq Heureux" in New Langdon, assuming the name "Amy" for the first time.
There, she got news of the Black Lightning Disaster and the death of both her parents in the aftermath.
The shock of the news, connected with her enhanced sensitivity to distortion fields, awakened a new reality-warping persona - the Beautiful Shape of the Night, Lejl Kaleidos - which acted as a violent split-personality and murdered several people in order "to feed the Night".
Whatever the reasons behind her turning into a monster, Lejl must be considered as a complete separate being from Amy, with her own memories and goals, despite sharing the same body.
