White Len is a character from the Melty Blood games in which she possessed her own 'mini-storyline' in the arcade mode. She is the main villain of Melty Blood Re-ACT.

ProfileEdit

AppearanceEdit

She looks almost identical to Len, except her dress and ornaments, which are white, and her hair which is light gray. She is also white in her cat form.

PersonalityEdit

White Len is acting as a more selfish and outspoken version of Len. She carries a huge amount of pride, believing herself to be better than her counterpart, Len because of her acceptance of their personality. And she also prefers to act like a calm lady, that is speaking in metaphors about fairy tales. White Len also goes out of her way to prove her superiority over Len by gaining her own Master, Shiki Nanaya. Despite her prideful ways, she will respect those who she believes they are worthy of her respect, such as Satsuki Yumizuka.

However, whenever she gets embarrassed, she becomes much more brash and immature, a side that Nanaya regularly provokes her to bring out. Neko-Arc very accurately calls her a tsundere when she shows her more vulnerable side.

Role Edit

She first appeared as a boss character in Melty Blood Re-ACT, and her story was explained through the arcade mode. Apparently, she was created from the remains of Zepia Eltnam Oberon by Aoko Aozaki and has taken in Len's suppressed personality.

She also inherited from Len the nature of a familiar and the need to have a master in order to stay alive that comes with it. Her ending of Act Cadenza arcade mode shows her forming a master-familiar contract with Nanaya she herself summoned. This puts the two of them in symbiotic relationship : she maintains his existence with her TATARI powers while he supplies her with prana she needs to survive.

In Actress Again, she sets out to find Nanaya (who had escaped her realm to entertain himself, thanks to Wallachia, to be able to do it again the role of rumor about a mysterious killer who roams the streets at night), only to meet Neco-Arc as her final boss. She vows that eventually, she would defeat Neco-Arc. Also, she has become a member of the Back Alley Allegiance.

White Len and Len have a cameo appearance in the second Kara no Kyoukai movie, where white and black cat plushies resembling them are shown while Shiki Ryougi explains to Mikiya Kokutou her split personality.

AbilitiesEdit

White Len's abilities are the combination of those of original Len. These include (dream manipulation), transformation into a cat, and attacks with the same ice powers that Len uses.

However, White Len is different than Len because of her connection to Zepia Eltnam Oberon and because of this she is also able to use some TATARI powers. The most prominent example of this is how she maintains Nanaya giving him the ability to exist outside of Zepia Eltnam Oberon's version of TATARI. She generates a dream barrier similar to a Reality Marble called Summer Snow (真夏の雪原, ^?), an open and barren snowy field. She uses the energy of nightmares that she has taken from others peoples to form this field and during her Act Cadenza route, she use this to bring Arcueid Brunestud there, allowing her to become stronger than Arcueid by cutting her off from nature. While it succeeds in cutting her off from her backup from the planet, allowing White Len to defeat her and sever their contract, Arcueid could easily overwhelm the barrier at any time if she were serious.^[1]

She has similar limitations as Tatari, in that she is not in full control over what appears under her powers. Beings may appear without her having brought them forth, and those that do appear are not bound to her will, allowing them to slay her if they so choose.

1. ↑ TYPE-MOON Fes. booklet - Question: There was a depiction of White Len cutting off Arc's backup from nature by drawing Arc into her own world, but can this be done by anyone with a reality marble?
   Kinoko: Ah, from Melty Blood React. A Reality Marble isn't event rewriting but event overwriting (painting over), so what White Len is saying is possible, as is switching the terrain effect with a different terrain effect. However, even if the terrain changes, whether Arc's supply can be cut off depends on what is being used as energy to hold up the barrier. If an alien is putting up a Reality Marble, Arcueid's energy source might be completely cut off. On a side note, with a dream barrier of just White Len's ability, if Arc goes "Really? Then I'll get serious!" and requests backup from the planet, White Len, along with the whole barrier, will be blown away rather simply. Underneath the overwritten world is an even more colossal world seeping up. Basically, White Len's a clown......poor, poor girl.
