That really suprised me when Fumiye (UY Vol 3, #8 and UY Book 10, “A Promise in the Snow”) turned out to be a ghost! Is there any chance that Fumiye might become a Yuki-Onna?
(UY Vol 3, #12) I left one very subtle clue that Fumiye was a ghost. You might notice that Usagi and his burden left deep tracks in the snow, but she never left a footprint. I would like to think that Fumiye has found peace and never became Yuki-Onna (literally, “Snow Woman”). Yuki-Onna is a young, beautiful mountain spirit who appears during snowstorms and lulls men to sleep and death.
