LB:RR (Re-Write): Lady Lenora Midnight, Creator of the Mask

Yes, precious Lady Lenora Midnight is quite a handful in the novel. Throughout the entire series, she is constantly harassing Lirin, either that, or she's discreetly flirting. She's a real creep, and she knows it.
After Bain tells Lirin that in order to save the land from his own (Lirin's own, that is) destruction, he has to make a pact with Lenora.
However, it's not quite an ideal pact. Lenora, after Lirin goes and finds her, she transports both of them to her tower, where she performs a painful spell on him, slashing up his forehead so that is bears some kind of strange mark.
It is soon that Lirin receives the curse of her latest creation... THE MASK! (Echo that twice more, fading out after the first for emphasis!)
What is the Mask, you ask?
The Mask is the dreadful creation of Lenora's, it is a 'curse' to the light and a 'blessing' to the dark. This nasty thing doesn't seem all to bad; I mean, no matter which side you take, the thing allows you to transform into a different form entirely, and it also allows telepathy and tele-transportation! Among other things; that is only a taste of what the Mask can do.
The Mask's cons? None to the dark, but it's power to the beings of light are that you must use it carefully and wisely without free will, as every time you do, it drains your own life and allows Lord Shadowfang himself to grown stronger!
...That is, for Lirin. If Lord Shadowfang is defeated, Lenora will take over, and she is eternal, so toooo bad if you wanna get rid of her. Bain is, if for some odd reason Lenora is taken down, the third-in-command for the Mask's connective power, as it needs a reliable source, after all.
Why is it called the Mask? Well, if you're in an animal form using it's power, it actually shows up on your forehead and makes you kind of look kind of like you're wearing a Mask.
It looks something like this:

 

For Lirin, in his wolf form, his eyes are under the two... Things on either side of it, making them look like angry eyebrows,  and his nose is probably a little further down below the teardrop shape.

In the Mask's transforming ability, the creature you take the form of is always back and white, where the only color is your eye color.
The purpose of taking another form is for limited disguise, new abilities, etc.. It comes in handy sometimes, but like I said before, it's to be used wisely.

Back to Lenora, if you're wondering what she looks like, well, I'll tell you:

She is tall, and resembles an ageless woman, normally wearing long black dresses and gloves. He skin is literally white, and her hair is a vibrant orange, about below-bust-length.

Her eyes are the color of orange topaz, and her eyelids are outlined in black, pointed at the end. Her lips are also black, but no one knows if it's makeup or not since they haven't seen her without it.

Despite the fact her hair is orange, her eyebrows are thin, somewhat arched and black.

Lenora has a rather sinister appearance, definitely, and quite a personality to match it.

Another thing you should know about Lenora is she is neither a being of light nor darkness, but caught in between. Like gray, as oppose to black and white.

Bain is the same. While it seems as if the two support both Lord Shadowfang and Lirin Bahonan, in truth, they are only doing it for themselves, and are very vague about how it does help them. Bain makes this clear to Lirin at some point early in the first novel.

...So, that's probably pretty much all you need to know for now. See you!
