Leep

Leep is an Egyptian Magician who appears in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index SS, seeking the Book of the Dead within Index.

Appearance
Leep is brown-skinned with long black hair. She also has vertical slits for pupils similar to a cat.

She wears a pink camisole dress that reaches almost down to her ankles but is made of thin material, such that her entire body is almost visible though it. She also wears a black hooded cloak that hides her silhouette with a cat ear design on top of the hood.

Background
In the past, Leep had looked up to someone, whom she saw like a strict older sister. Since that person refused to take on apprentices, Leep learned her techniques through observation rather than being taught by her. However after that person died, Leep realized she knew nothing about her, as she had never revealed her past to anyone, and despite wanting to tell the world about her, had no way of determining if it was truly accurate.

Wanting to learn about the person's life and tell about what sort of person she had truly been, Leep wanted to read the Book of the Dead that was written by her and placed at her grave. However she found that tomb robbers had stolen parts of the book, leaving it incomplete. Because of this, she sought diagrams and parts from another version of the Book of the Dead in order to complete it.

Abilities
Leep makes use of Magic based on Egyptian Mythology, involving the cat goddess Bastet. She is capable of manipulating cats, using the fact that they are seen as Bastet's messengers, acting as agents to communicate between man and gods, and use them to steal information.

By entering a trance and by harming herself, she can also use the power of the violent lioness goddess Sekhmet, sometimes identified with Bastet, who grows intoxicated with the shedding of blood, both from her enemies and herself. While using this power, she acquires bestial claws, high speed and strength enough to tear through a person's body with a single swing of her arm.

She is also capable of making dust momentarily form a descriptive text.
