**Linterna** is a myth-turned-scarecrow demon character for TimeoutArtist's first upcoming original comic series, Crystal Kingdom, and a non-canon guest character for Future Night Funkin'.

Linterna is a myth-turned-scarecrow demon who was considered to be one of the most dangerous demons living in Hell, under the title, The Headless Horseman, but due to an unknown curse, she has been reduced into a harmless scarecrow demon, inflicting pain on this new version of her, and locked her up. Because of boredom, she somehow escaped the prison and hid herself in the cornfield, farmed in the Wrath Ring and no matter how they’ll find her, it’ll be impossible to do so.

Currently, she's not voiced by anyone as of now in Crystal Kingdom.

## Physical Appearance

Linterna is a young scarecrow with a jack-o-lantern head and a long stem shape, glowing orange and ginger eyes with yellow lines, wearing a black clothing in a short black poncho and ginger lines held by a dark wood belt with silver belt buckle, dark wood gloves and boots and black jeans.

## Personality

### Current

For her reduced self, Linterna is described as a childish and gullible, fun-loving character who loves to mischievously play with anyone she encounters. This makes her mindlessly innocent and stupid at the same time, who likes to make friends because “boredom is stupid”. Her boredom and mischievous side may have been the reason why she escaped the prison and hid herself away into the cornfield. She’s said to be fully fearless and doesn't display any awareness at all.

### Formerly

From the start, Linterna was a menacing and pompous myth demon, along being bloodthirsty and being feared by many demons, who would simply bow down before her or try to kill her before she could spread more of her bloodshed. She’s said to be highly sadistic, proudly boasts about her gorefest and intends to keep the cycle of fear going forever and kill them in a sadistic pleasure, making her one of the most dangerous demons in Hell. Her dangerous personality makes her destructive, hostile and homicidal, continuing on her genocidal tendencies, however, this did not go too long when she got reduced into a scarecrow demon.

## History

Born as a myth demon, Linterna took upon the identity, “The Headless Horseman”, and started spreading bloodshed by her own hands, even if she’ll get dirt on her hands. This made other demons to be scared of her and would bow down to live like cowards or try to get rid of her but no matter how many times they tried to get rid of her, she’ll always get back on her feet and strike her victims down.

One day, a curse has fallen upon Linterna, reducing her entirety into a weak scarecrow demon and being locked away in a prison. She soon escaped prison, somehow, and hid herself away into the cornfield, farmed in the Wrath Ring. Sometime after her escape, she met a reaper named Muerte and became best friends but this would leave Muerte unaware of the fact that Linterna is a myth demon.

## Powers and Abilities

Under the former title, The Headless Horseman, she was incredibly strong and capable of swinging her ax with no trouble but after being fallen into a curse, she is reduced into a scarecrow demon, leaving her powerless and unintelligent.

### Current

* **Scarecrow Manipulation:** As a myth-turned-scarecrow demon with a jack-o-lantern head, she has the ability to create scarecrows and even manipulate scarecrows to either attack, control or turn people into scarecrows, however, it depends on her choice to whether she’ll use it or not.

### Remained

* **Fire Breath:** As a myth-turned-scarecrow demon with a jack-o-lantern head, she has the ability to breath out fire and the main source of her power comes from the flame, inside her head. It is critically vulnerable to Holy Water (while her fire manipulation is vulnerable to normal water) and if it’s exposed to the Holy Water, Linterna dies but the way to bring her back is to use the Eternal Flame by putting her head on the flame.

* **Detachable Head:** As a myth-turned-scarecrow demon with a jack-o-lantern head, Linterna has the possibility to detach her head at any time she wants, however, if her head is too far away from her body, her body loses control and cannot tell where her head is. Linterna must tell her body which way it needs to go to find her head and put it back on.

* **Immortality:** As a demon, Linterna is completely immortal and ageless.

### Formerly

* **Axemanship:** As under the Headless Horseman identity, Linterna used to have capabilities of using an ax, accurately and precisely slice through the enemies without being hindered by the scythe's heavy weight, cleaving through them effortlessly, but due to the reduction curse, she forgot how to use the ax.

* **Horsemanship:** As under the Headless Horseman identity, Linterna used to have capabilities of riding a horse named Iselin (which means fear) and rides on him to signify how scary she can be. Her horse fears nothing and can easily freeze people in terror by their presence but after the reduction curse, Iselin was vanished from Hell and never to be seen again, only to wait for Linterna to return under her former identity.

* **High Intelligence:** Linterna used to be very intelligent before being cursed and reduced into a scarecrow demon but right after she got cursed, she acts unintelligent.

## Trivia

### General

* Linterna’s story takes inspiration from The Ink Demon’s story and are similar to each other. Both were introduced as heinous entities but were reduced into powerless entities and got imprisoned then later escaped prison (in Ink Demon’s case, he was freed by Audrey while Linterna escaped with no one’s help).
* Linterna’s reduced self take elements from Pump.
	+ Her character is also said to be inspired by Pump.
		- This would make perfect sense for her appearance.
* Originally, she was meant to be a horseman demon but was changed to a myth demon due to a headless horseman being a myth.
* Despite her male appearance, she’s definitely female. This is due to her name sounding like a female.
* Linterna means “lantern” in Spanish.
	+ This would explain her head is a jack-o-lantern.
		- Her name is also a nod to what they look like.
* Skid and Pump were the reason why Linterna was created. If the Spookeez weren’t created, Linterna wouldn't been created.

### Linterna

* Linterna doesn’t mind about pumpkins being used as food. This jokingly implies that she’s a cannibal as her head is a pumpkin (jack-o-lanterns are made out of pumpkins, so this would make sense).
* Compared to her FutureNF counterpart, she’s parentless, born as a myth demon with heinous intentions but was reduced by a curse and imprisoned then later, escaped prison due to boredom and hid herself in the cornfield. Her relationship with Muerte started out as enemies rather than friends then would later become proper friends in the end while Muerte being left unaware of the scarecrow demon being turned out to be the cursed myth demon.
