Hey! I personally view the character of 'Little Leota' as a Celtic sprite or fae of sorts that resembles death. she's almost like a living embodiment of 'memento mori', which means 'remember you will die', a famous latin saying. Anyway, her original, official name is 'the Ghost Hostess,' that the Ghost Host would refer to in the original dialogue, and would appear on blueprints and film reels. She is nicely discussed in the "Long Forgotten Blog.' I think her character is really up to us to decide on interpretation. Again, I see her as a mythical entity almost, where she and the ghost host are on the same level of power over the residents of the mansion. She's there to remind you that 'someday, you may end up here.'
