Yuki-onna

A creature known from Japanese folklore, the Yuki-onna goes by many names and exists in many forms. Some consider them to be lost spirits, some say elementals of the primal world, while other still consider them to be a subspecies of vampire. The greatest commonality between the many tales of the White Lady is her appearance; a woman of pale skin, long black hair, and the lips of a long dead corpse, wearing a kimono that flutters in a warning breeze. They are almost always accompanied by a snowstorm or blizzard. They occasionally appear clutching the form of a baby as part of their ruse. The accompanying blizzard freezes the Yuki-onna’s victims, rendering them immobile, but they are still alive as it begins to feast on their life essence. The Yuki-onna drains the victim of their blood, which birthed the association with vampires, and leaves behind the frozen corpse. If the victim is a young, attractive male of weak will, they will sometimes offer a kiss or sexual intercourse before they feast. Often spared are individuals of youth or exceptional beauty, though the reason for this beyond apparent vanity is unknown. There is no specific way known to slay the Yuki-onna, though it succumbs easily to fire.
