Brief Bio 

Yuki-onna, also known as the Snow Woman, is a yōkai (supernatural being) from Japanese folklore, often depicted as a beautiful, ethereal woman appearing on snowy nights. She is both alluring and terrifying, capable of freezing her victims with her icy breath or luring them to their deaths in the snow. Her stories explore themes of love, loss, and the power of nature, and she is a popular figure in Japanese art, literature, and film.
