The Yuki no Onna was one of the most popular figures in Phoenix legends, and was easily one of the most unique to the clan. The Snow Maiden had only ever been seen in the lands of the Phoenix. Because of this, the Snow Maiden was often mentioned in Phoenix stories and was often depicted in tapestries, paintings, and other works of art. These spirit creatures were tied to the winter winds and snows of Rokugan. They were only seen in winter when there was snow in the air or on the ground, and usually only during snowstorms.
