Regan MacNeil is a 12-year-old girl who becomes the central figure of demonic possession in The Exorcist. She is initially a shy, gentle, and devoted daughter caught in the turmoil of her parents' acrimonious divorce and her mother Chris MacNeil’s demanding acting career[1][2][3].

Lore-wise, Regan is possessed by the ancient demon Pazuzu, a malevolent spirit from Mesopotamian mythology known for bringing storms and famine. The possession begins after Regan experiments with a Ouija board, unknowingly inviting Pazuzu into her body[2][3]. Under Pazuzu's influence, Regan undergoes a terrifying transformation β€” exhibiting supernatural strength, violent behavior, blasphemous speech, and disturbing physical changes such as levitation, contorted postures, and self-inflicted wounds[3][5].

Despite the demon’s control, Regan’s core identity as an innocent child remains trapped beneath the possession. The story explores the stark contrast between her original innocence and the corrupting evil of the demon, symbolizing the battle between purity and malevolence[7].

The possession is eventually confronted by two priests, Father Merrin and Father Karras, who perform a harrowing exorcism to expel Pazuzu. After the ritual, Regan returns to her normal self with no memory of the possession, though the trauma lingers[2][3][5].

In sequels and adaptations, Regan’s lore expands to include psychic healing powers and ongoing struggles with the demon’s influence, even changing her name to Angela Rance as an adult to escape her past[2].

In summary, Regan MacNeil is a young girl possessed by the demon Pazuzu, representing a profound clash between innocence and evil, with her story centered on survival, faith, and the supernatural battle for her soul[2][5][7].
