Mythology Weekend - Yuki-Onna

A Yuki-Onna, meaning "snow woman", is a Japanese mythology spirit, or yokai. Yuki-Onna are described as the ghost of beautiful women often with long hair and pale features. They are said to float over snow and leave no tracks and often are depicted as not having feet, which is common for Japanese ghosts. In some myths, Yuki-Onna can be evil and lead those lost in storms astray to die of exposure or even invading homes and using their icy breath to freeze victims. Other Yuki-Onna are described as letting victims go free, sometimes even marrying them although they melt away when their true nature is discovered.
