Fictional profile
A recurring demon in Shin Megami Tensei
Leanan Sidhe is a demon that appears in the Shin Megami Tensei series by Atlus, based off of the original Gaelic/Irish succubus of the same name. Like the original, they are usually described in the in game dictionary of most SMT games in the same manner as the original myths, and their primary spells in most games are charm, confusion, healing, and draining attribute magics.
In Celtic folklore, the Irish leanan sídhe is a beautiful woman of the Aos Sí (or fairy folk) who takes a human lover. Lovers of the leanan sídhe are said to live brief, though highly inspired, lives. The leanan sídhe is generally depicted as a beautiful muse, who offers inspiration to an artist in exchange for fame and glory; however, this exchange frequently results in madness for the artist, and often premature death.
They seek the love of mortals. If they refuse, she must be their slave; if they consent, they are hers, and can only escape by finding another to take their place. The fairy lives on their life, leaving the object of a Leanan Sidhe's affection to waste away. The name comes from the Gaelic word "leannan", a sweetheart, concubine, or favorite. Also, Sídhe, "of the fairy mounds".

I'm Leanan Sidhe, the Femme. You'd better love me, or I won't be happy.

If you'll love me more after the fusion, I guess I'll allow this.
