Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl/Characters

Lenore


"I am going to hurt you."

Lenore is a 10 years old, undead girl, who died of pneumonia and lives in her mansion along with a stuffed toy, who is actually a cursed vampire. Lenore doesn't know the difference between good and evil, which often results in her accidentally or purposely killing people and animals. She usually says and does disturbing and confusing things, partly due to her innocence, although, in the later comics, she starts being aware of her immoral behavior and actually enjoys it.

He also cares about her and protects her everytime she gets into reckless, dangerous situations, which implies he views himself as her guardian.
