yuki onna
雪女 (ゆきおんな) (Snow woman)
A traditional youkai in Japanese mythology. She is often depicted as a tall, beautiful woman with long hair that appears during snowy nights, with inhumanly pale or even transparent skin that blends in with the snow and gives her a ghostly appearance. In some stories, the yuki onna displays demon girl-like traits.
