Other Traits:
-Yuriko cannot taste food, but she enjoys eating despite that, she can feel the texture and heat of food which pleases her.
-Yuriko's body feels frozen to the touch, as if she is a walking, frozen corpse, but despite that she enjoys the heat of things, much like a cold blooded lizard.



Powers:
-Can create a thick snowstorm for a radius of 1 mile (outside of battle through singing, when enraged it can be through a mere hand motion) this can last for 1 hour.

-Due to Yuriko being a spirit with no longer any physical body, she has the ability to form a physical form in order to interact with things and people. Because she is still getting use to this new ability, once activated she can only turn back to being incorporeal for 2 times each day, resetting at midnight each night.

-Yuriko can freeze anything that she touches, this can be counteracted by fire or intense heat, it takes her longer to freeze living things due to the process having to dig deeper (for example, freezing a chair or water is much easier than freezing a living thing with warm flesh and blood, she cannot freeze things while incorporeal) as with normal ice, frozen objects will melt after a day, depending on how big the object is, it can be up to a minute to freeze something (this is working on the basis of a chair sized object) obviously smaller items will take less time, bigger items will take more time.

Place of Origin:
Owari, Genroku Era, Japan (Hida is where she died).

History:
During the Genroku Era of Japan (1688-1704) Yuriko's father had fallen in with some bad people, people who soon after wanted his family dead. Fleeing from the men, Yuriko and her mother ran to the mountains, on the way up they came to a small village on the foot of the snow topped mountains, but upon seeking shelter they were turned away. The village elder did not want the trouble that Yuriko and her mother would bring to them. Having been turned away Yuriko and her mother would run to the mountains, and seeked shelter in a cave during a blizzard, it was so cold, despite mother and daughter huddling together, soon...the world turned dark.

Upon awakening Yuriko discovered that she could float and when returning to the village at the foot of the mountain, she found herself feared and shunned by the villagers, she only wanted a friend, the children would often talk to her when their parents were away. After a priest placed so many seals around the village it hurt to even go near, Yuriko settled on her life of loneliness in the mountain, for years and years the mountain at night would give off a feint crying sound, giving it a reputation of being haunted.

As time passed and Japan and the West interacted, the scenery around her changed, watching from high up on the mountain, she watched farms grow, technology develop, land be taken away and after centuries, modern buildings became commonplace. Eventually she came across a group of paranormal investigators, who had been the only ones brave enough to explore the mountain despite the legends that had grown about her. After centuries of loneliness she finally interacted with humans, answering their questions with enthusiasm and her sweet, whispy voice. Upon showing them the location where she died, she discovered rocks had crushed the corpses. She now had no physical attachment to her body and upon this realisation she gained new powers such as being able to become corporeal. Happy with her new friends she would travel back to America with them and after spending some time adjusting to modern life a little, they would point her in the way of Jump City, hoping that someone would help her with her new found abilities.

Now Yuriko must find her own way in modern America, desperate for friends who love her.

Yuriko is now ready to be judged.

Considering she requires being able to touch something to freeze it, does this mean she can't freeze it while she is incorporeal?

That is correct.

Okay, fixed that I think.
