In Japanese mythology, the ghostly spirit of the mountains. This nickname translates as "Snow Woman".
It appears on winter nights during a snowfall, in a blizzard or when the full moon is shining and lies in wait for travelers, whom it mercilessly kills. She is a tall, incredibly beautiful woman, with long black (occasionally white) hair, dark purple eyes and smooth snow-white skin cold as ice.
She is dressed in a white kimono (sometimes with a red pattern) or naked. Usually it floats above the ground, leaving no traces. It can turn into fog or fine snow. sucks people's blood or life force. Sometimes she looks like a succubus and, hunting weak-willed men, sucks out their souls or freezes them through a kiss or sexual intercourse.
