"Kuu!"
Kuu (クー) is a Void who accompanies Linne.
Appearance
Kuu is a small, dragon-like Void. It has black beady eyes, floppy ears, grey skin with a pink-colored Curse Commandment pattern and a white underside. It wears a brown leather strap with a golden buckle around its neck, possibly meant as a collar.
Story
Kuu is a Void tamed through a special master-slave system. It has been assigned by Kuon to keep an eye on Linne's actions[2]. Originally, Kuon gave the Void the name "Kubiki" (軛), meaning "yoke"[2], which is a very literal interpretation of what Kuu was - the means to keep monitoring Linne's action and ensure she can't escape from her curse[3].
However, others members of the Night Blade kept calling it "Kuu" and in the end, that name was settled as its primary alias.
Episode: "Chained Soul" (魂縛の枷鎖)
Kuu appeared together with Chitose as she told a young Seth about the poor Princess of the Night Blade, and how a person wielding one of the legendary Indulgence Weapons could save her. When Chitose headed up a hill after the conversation ended to meet up with Waldstein, Kuu presumably headed with her.
Arcade Mode (アーケードモード)
While Kuu only made a small appearance at the end of Hyde's original Arcade Story, it went to Kuon at the start of his Arcade Story in order to send its old master off.
Abilities
Kuu's basic functions are no different from a regular Void. Kuu has a Curse Commandment pattern on its body, so it uses FLS as its power source. However, whether Kuu has any abilities unique to it remains unknown.

Trivia
- Kuu's gender is never specified in the Japanese text, but the English localization uses "he" when Chitose talked about it.
- Curiously, a creature heavily resembling Kuu appears as a charm connected to Nanase's cellphone[4]. The connection between Kuu and this charm is unknown.
- Kuu shares its voice actor, Hatsumi Takada with Hilda and Adelheid.
