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.

Lejl Kaleidos - New Life
Lejl was never meant to be an emanation of "The Walking Night". She convinced herself of the fact in order to create "a superhero origin story" and be proud of it, instead of being afraid of her own existence.
Behind the bravado and her air of superiority, Lejl is just a frail personality of Amy, insecure and unwilling to accept her non-existence, masking her true self by acting tough.
Once out of the Shadow Gallery, Lejl started to separate herself from her previous depiction, trying to become a new version of what was good about her. She has found a job in a flower shop, while she secretly studies Mono's dresses to become a fashion designer herself.
Unbound to her previous non-life, Lejl is now a complete individual, with a huge homoerotic crush on Cyphr, despite knowing that she's probably not interested in her.
Nevertheless, Lejl has not given up yet on her and, most likely, never will.
