'''Letty Whiterock''' | {{nihongo|'''Letty Whiterock'''|レティ・ホワイトロック|Retī Howaitorokku}} is a seasonal [[youkai]] who's only seen during winter. She seems fittingly cold towards most of the [[human]]s she meets, and is feared by humans as she is known to freeze them. | ||

She possesses an ability to manipulate chill. It's not an ability to create blizzards or make snow fall, but rather an ability to strengthen the "winter" that exists in the natural world. According to ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', since this is equivalent to an ability that manipulates the winter within nature, she possesses tremendous power according to the environment, but she is pretty much powerless outside of winter. In ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'', Letty herself said that outside of winter, she hides away in a place where not a ray of sunlight can reach.

By lowering the temperature, [[human]]s become less capable of activity, and lose their fighting spirit.
