In Japanese mythology, a futakuchi-onna is known by her two mouths. A normal one on her face & a second terrifying one on the back of her head beneath her hair. In stories, her true nature is only revealed at the end. #FairytaleTuesday #amwriting
The Yuki-Onna, or Japanese snow maiden, is thought to be the spirit of someone who perished in the snow. In many stories, she appears to travellers trapped in snowstorms & uses her icy breath to leave them as frost-coated corpses. #FairyTaleTuesday #amwriting #fairytales
