 * Snow Woman Physiology
 * Yuki-Onna Mimicry
 * Snow Woman Mimicry

Capabilities
User with this ability either is or can transform into an Yuki-Onna (snow woman), yokai who are either ghosts of those who perished in the snow or personifications of winter and snow. They appear on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful women with long black hair and blue lips, with inhumanly pale or even transparent skin that let them blend into the snowy landscape. Despite their inhuman beauty, their eyes can strike terror into mortals. They float across the snow, leaving no footprints (in fact, some tales say she has no feet, a feature of many Japanese ghosts), and can transform into a cloud of mist or snow if threatened.

Yuki-onna, being associated with winter and snowstorms, are at the same time beautiful and serene, yet ruthless in killing unsuspecting mortals. Until the 18th century they were almost uniformly portrayed as evil, but modern stories often color them as more human, emphasizing their ghost-like nature and ephemeral beauty.
