Yuki-onna is a spirit from Japanese folklore, often depicted as a beautiful woman dressed in white, resembling snow. She is said to appear during snowstorms, sometimes luring travelers to their doom with her enchanting beauty. In many stories, Yuki-onna has the ability to freeze her victims with her icy breath. While she can be malevolent, some tales portray her as a more benevolent figure, helping lost souls or protecting the innocent. Her character embodies the duality of nature, representing both the beauty and danger of winter.
