==Summary==
Leanan-sidhe is a Crimson Denizen who goes by the true name Spiral Organ. She is regarded as the greatest Unrestricted Spell Master of all time, by both Crimson Denizens and Flame Hazes alike. She is known for having created many spells over her life, as well as refining the spells created by the equally ingenious but less reliable Dantalion: the most famous example is the Fūzetsu, which she reworked during the later half of the 19th century. Her true magnum opus is the Insignia of Reincarnation, a spell capable of restoring any lost object back to normal, even if it had been erased from existence (including returning Torches back to humans), or giving an object a permanent existence and individuality as a living being. Friagne would later attempt to use the spell to make his doll Marianne into a permanent being and existence.
In the past, Leanan-sidhe met an Italian human painter, Donato, and they fell in love. Unfortunately, one day Donato caught her consuming the Power of Existence of humans to maintain herself in human world and, enraged and sorrowful of her nature, chased her away. She was soon after captured by the Crimson Lord Asiz who needed her for his ambitions. When she eventually broke free at the end of the Great War between the 16th-century Flame Haze Army and Töten Glocke, she learned from her friend Gavida that Donato had never forgotten his love for her: he had drawn a painting of her, hoping to show it to her one day. However, by the time Leanan-sidhe had escaped and returned to Donato, he had died of old age and the painting had been irreparably damaged and lost during the Sack of Rome of 1527. Leanan-sidhe then discarded her names and hijacked the body of an old man's Torch, and began using the names Lamies and Corpse Retriever, with which she started working on a spell that could recover lost things. Knowing that the spell would require a massive amount of Power of Existence that would certainly draw every Flame Haze against her, Lamies chose a tougher way: harvesting Power of Existence from dying Torches, even if it required hundreds of years to accumulate the sufficient amount. That spell would come to be known as the Insignia of Reincarnation, which she successfully used at the end of the Second Great War, finally recovering Donato's painting after a centuries-long journey.

|-|Crimson Denizen-specific attributes=
|-|Resistances=Resistance to Sealing (She could escape Nachtigall, a Treasure Tool that Asiz used to trap and confine her in), Disease Manipulation and Poison Manipulation (Crimson Denizens automatically reject the effects; should a Denizen switch bodies with a non-Denizen, they would still resist themShana S, Episode 1) and Time Stop (Can freely move around any Fūzetsu). Partial Resistance to Perception Manipulation (Crimson Denizens can resist the passive lack of presence exuding from other Flame Hazes and Crimson Denizens, but don't resist the ability if it comes from a separate spell or mechanism, or if it's purposely amplified). Partial Resistance to Life Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation and Existence Erasure (Limited to human-universe versions of them; Crimson Denizens are immune to abilities affecting Power of Existence (the energy that makes up the existence, history, life force and identity of humans and objects in our universe) or similar human-related energies because they don't possess any (since the Crimson Realm they come from is a universe without Power of Existence). Crimson Denizens should however be vulnerable to abilities messing with the unique life force of the Crimson Realm, or, in simpler terms, to Life/Memory/Conceptual/Existence Manipulation that can affect beings from fundamentally different universes and worlds from ours)

Attack Potency: Unknown, likely Small Building level, possibly Building level (Leanan-sidhe/Lamies is described as having little battle prowess, even by MoS Shana.Season 1, Episode 7Season 1, Episode 8 Should be on par with Mare and Yurii Chvojka, who are low-end Denizens and Flame Hazes). Likely at least Multi-City Block level+ with Yarn Ball, possibly far higher (Should Leanan-sidhe/Lamies die, the enormous Power of Existence stored within Yarn Ball would explode, something feared by even Alastor, who far surpasses the likes of Merihim, who can do this)
Speed: Likely Superhuman travel speed (Should be at least on par with Shana), Subsonic flight speed (Should be on par with the likes of Wilhelmina). Subsonic combat speed and reactions (Should be no slower than BoS-Shana, who is this fast)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Unknown
Durability: Unknown, likely Small Building level, possibly Building level
Stamina: Superhuman. In spite of being weaker than most, Leanan-sidhe is a talented Crimson Denizen, more than capable of escaping the many Flame Hazes that have been hunting her down for centuries. She survived for a couple years trapped inside Asiz's Treasure Tool
Range: Tens of Meters to Hundreds of Meters with most spells, at least Kilometers with Yarn Ball's blast (should be strong enough to cover a large portion of Misaki City, which is based on Saitama), up to Tens of Kilometers with Fūzetsu
Standard Equipment: The ball of thread containing Yarn Ball
Intelligence: Genius. Leanan-sidhe is regarded as the greatest Unrestricted Spell Master of all time, by both Crimson Denizens and Flame Hazes alike. She created dozens of spells in her lifetime, including one that accomplishes the seemingly impossible feat to bring back objects and incomplete beings that have been erased from existence. She also fixed and improved the Fūzetsu spell, originally created by Dantalion, into the form that every single Flame Haze and Crimson Denizen has been using for the past century and a half.
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Fūzetsu: The most common of all Unrestricted Spells. The spell creates a dome-shaped isolated space, by intermingling the Crimson Realm and the human world. Since the spell is usually cast on the ground, only its upper half is visible and the lower half is underground.Shakugan no Shana Light Novel Volume SIII The area within the Fūzetsu is detached from the flow of causality of the outside world, with its interior area frozen and concealed from the outside. Inside the barrier, all phenomena and causalities (such as time, space, perception, movement and existence itself) are stopped for ordinary beings, like a plug had been removed, allowing only Flame Hazes and Crimson Denizens to act freely within it."DVD Special Book Grand Grimoire" page 5 The separation from the flow of causality is at the level of "inside the Fūzetsu vs outside the Fūzetsu" and not within the Fūzetsu itself. People and objects frozen inside the Fūzetsu can still be killed or destroyed and events happening inside the Fūzetsu will follow normal rules of cause and effect. Additionally, nobody can see or hear anything happening inside a Fūzetsu from the outside and vice-versa, including those who can sense the spell."Dengeki G's Festival! Vol.8" Page 27Season 2, Episode 9 Outside the Fūzetsu, ordinary creatures will subconsciously avoid the affected area, no matter what they intended to do there, like affected by a planetary mind and memory manipulation. To them and the human world at large, the area within the Fūzetsu stops existing altogether; they won't even register that a part of the world is suddenly "missing" and, to them, it would never have existed in the first place."Shakugan no Shana Guide Book Nyūmon-hen" page 17 Finally, energy released inside a Fūzetsu cannot go outside until the spell ends.
*Illusion: A spell which allows the user to reproduce their own appearance using their flames in order to confuse opponents, similar to creating clones.
*Disturbance of Existence: A highly-advanced spell that Leanan-sidhe has complete mastery over, and she usually uses to escape from enemies and halt their pursuit. Leanan-sidhe divides her own existence into multiple dummies of herself to be used as decoys, places them in various locations in dormant states, and transfers her consciousness into one of them which she activates. When an enemy approaches, she activates another dummy in a different location and transfers her consciousness to that one. Simultaneously, she transforms the dummy she had previously been using into birds and sends the Power of Existence that dummy had gathered back to her main body to be absorbed. By repeating these steps, enemies, who are sensing the "existence of her consciousness", are made to believe that Leanan-sidhe is teleporting. Most magic-sensing abilities will fail to uncover the secret behind the spell and typically always point towards a dummy, as even Margery Daw, one of the best spellcasters in the series, was unable to figure out Leanan-sidhe's trick without hyper-specialized help.
*Yarn Ball: A small lump of thread that Leanan-sidhe has used for hundreds of years to gather Power of Existence from Torches on the verg of disappearing, and she controls with a spell. Should Leanan-sidhe die, Yarn Ball would deactivate and the colossal amount of Power of Existence help within Yarn Ball would be unleashed, causing devastating destruction around her. Even Alastor, one of the three Crimson Gods, feared that scenario.
*Insignia of Reincarnation: A preset magic crest that, when activated, recomposes the existence which houses it, allowing that existence to conform and establish itself in the world without depending on another person's Power of Existence. It effectively allows animated objects, people who've had their identity and existence erased or messed with, or any being that cannot be considered "alive" despite possessing awareness and intelligence, to obtain a true existence, turning them into independent beings with their own identity and presence in the world. Friagne planned to combine this spell with the massive amount of Power of Existence collected by City Devourer to make his Rinne, Marianne, into her own permanent existence.
Note:
*The Crimson Realm and the human world are intermingled, detaching the domed area from the flow of causality of the world. Space-time, perception, movement, and existence itself are separated from the outside world and immediately halted until the Fūzetsu stops. The separation from the flow of causality is at the level of "inside the Fūzetsu vs outside the Fūzetsu" and not within the Fūzetsu itself. As such, events happening inside the Fūzetsu will follow normal rules of cause and effect. However, any attempt to cause an effect on the outside world from within the Fūzetsu (or to cause an effect in the Fūzetsu from the outside world) will fail: an earthquake happening inside the Fūzetsu won't affect the outside and vice versa; a fireball thrown at a Fūzetsu, from either side, will cause no effect.
*People and objects caught inside are halted and incapable of moving, acting, seeing, thinking or doing anything. They can still die or be destroyed if attacked. Those outside the Fūzetsu will subconsciously avoid the affected area, no matter what they intended to do there, like affected by a planetary mind and memory manipulation. It's as if they “forgot” what they had to do there. The idea when the Fūzetsu spell was created was to make it so ordinary living beings couldn't ever interact with it or whatever happens inside.
*For as long as the Fūzetsu is active, to ordinary creatures – and the human world at large – the affected area doesn't exist and never has. Ordinary creatures will temporarily live as if the area and people inside the Fūzetsu never existed, and they don't even register that a part of the world is “missing”, not even in their subconscious. When the spell ends and the area is reconnected to the flow of causality of the outside world, humans go back to living as if the area and people previously trapped had always existed. This existence erasure and presence manipulation is strictly from a human universe-sense, as the people and things inside a Fūzetsu still exist, but only Flame Hazes, Crimson Denizens and allowed humans can perceive them.
*Anything damaged, destroyed or killed within a Fūzetsu can be restored by using Power of Existence. It is an energy that exists in the air and in every living and non-living thing; it represents the identity, history, information, presence and impact of that thing on the world. Any damage caused inside a Fūzetsu can be restored by using Power of Existence, to adjust the disparities of the causality inside a Fūzetsu and to match the flow of causality of the outside world. By doing this, it is possible to restore anything that has had its causality severed within a Fūzetsu, be it a living being or an object, to the state that it was in before its causality was severed. However, if a Fūzetsu is ever unlocked during a battle without repairs having been done, the damage is irreparable: people killed inside the spell stay dead and things whose Power of Existence was consumed vanish from existence (from a human universe-sense). This “repairing” demands extreme mastery of that energy's manipulation, and, while all Flame Hazes can perform basic repairs, only very few can perform complex repairs."Dengeki G's Festival! Vol.8" Page 39 If the Power of Existence of a person or thing is consumed, then they are gone forever, and their existence, information and history are erased from the entire world.Season 1, Episode 2 However, Distortions are caused whenever this happens and, if too many accumulate, it would destroy the balance of the world, causing harm to both the human world and the Crimson Realm."Shakugan no Shana Guide Book Nyūmon-hen" page 12 Both Flame Hazes and Crimson Denizens have stopgap measures to soften these Distortions."Shakugan no Shana Guide Book Nyūmon-hen" page 14"Shakugan no Shana Guide Book Nyūmon-hen" page 15
*The only way for a human to interact with a Fūzetsu and act within it is by being granted free action through a spell by a Flame Haze or Crimson Denizen capable of advanced spellcasting. That spell envelops humans with an energy, presumably the same as the Crimson Realm's, that allows them to move freely inside. Nobody can see or hear what is happening inside a Fūzetsu from the outside, not even creatures that can sense and interact with it. Similarly, nobody inside a Fūzetsu can see or hear what is happening outside.
*Only characters who possess energy from the Crimson Realm within them, who are tied to it, or who are allowed to by such characters, can act inside a Fūzetsu.
