Description For #Chibi-Templates ' Winter Paperdoll Art contest [link]

Notes:
Black-and-white friendly! The only coloured part of the paperdoll is her face (and a tiny bit of colour in her skin). Her kimono sleeves are a nightmare to build, so I wouldn't recommend it to beginners. As well, her 'feet' are rather confusing, since you can't tell very well where the fold lines go. I just guessed. She has no proper feet, so the hem of the kimono holds her up, which means she doesn't need a stand.

Body can be found here [link] , preview here [link] , and kimono sleeve fold diagram here [link] .
Yuki-Onna was made using my China pattern and ~Furesia 's Belarus pattern. Credit goes to にーび for the original patterns. I don't recommend using this pattern, since I made some custom alterations and therefore some proportions were screwed up, however if you still want to please give credit and leave me a link somewhere.

Copied from Wikipedia:
Yuki Onna (雪女, snow woman) is a spirit or yōkai in Japanese folklore. Yuki-onna appears on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and red lips. Her inhumanly pale or even transparent skin makes her blend into the snowy landscape. She sometimes wears a white kimono, but other legends describe her as nude, with only her face and hair standing out against the snow. Despite her inhuman beauty, her eyes can strike terror into mortals. She floats across the snow, leaving no footprints (in fact, some tales say she has no feet, a feature of many Japanese ghosts), and she can transform into a cloud of mist or snow if threatened.
What Yuki-onna is after varies from tale to tale. Sometimes she is simply satisfied to see a victim die. Other times, she is more vampiric, draining her victims' blood or "life force." She occasionally takes on a succubus-like manner, preying on weak-willed men to drain or freeze them through sex or a kiss.
