Lenalee Lee

 

Lenalee Lee is a very kind 16-year-old Exorcist from China. Her parents were killed by an akuma when she was very young.

During that time, she witnessed experiments involving implanting innocence into non-accommodators, and Rouvelier became a source of fear. However, her brother Komui joined the Order, easing her loneliness. Therefore, sanity restored, she fights for her brother as well as her friends as she knows she has a home to return. She has known Kanda and Lavi since they were young and met Allen at the beginning. She has grown a strong attachment to him throughout the series. Her perception of the "world" consists of her friends and family; whenever one of her friends dies, it seems to her as if a part of her world has been destroyed.

The Dark Boots her anti-akuma weapon, takes the form of a pair of black boots capable of high running speed, walking on water, and using sound waves as footholds.
