My take on Yuki-onna for this month's CDC theme! She’s always been one of my favorite yokai, her folklore has many variations throughout Japan and I picked this one to work with:

“On the night of a blizzard, the Yuki-onna would be standing there hugging a child (yukinko), it would ask people passing by to hug the child as well. When one hugs the child, the child would become heavier and heavier until one would become covered with snow and freeze to death. It has also been told that if one refuses, one would be shoved down into a snowy valley.”
