Name of Species: Kuchisake-Onna
Homelands: Nippon Edo
Prefered Weapon: knife or a large scythe
Unique Power: none
Likes: peope commenting her on good looks
Dislikes: people running in fear, people insulting her beauty
Family Members: none
Description: The legend is said to originate with a young woman who lived hundreds of years ago and was the wife of a samurai.She is said to have been very beautiful but also very vain, and possibly cheating on her husband. The samurai, extremely jealous and feeling cuckolded, attacked her and slit her mouth from ear to ear, screaming "Who will think you're beautiful now?"
The Kuchisake-Onna now roams the streets at night with a mask over her face, when she sees someone she will ask, "Watashi wo Kirei?" (Am I beautiful?) and if the person says yes (which is the common answer) she will rip off the mask and repeat her question. Usually the person will run away screaming if so the Kuchisake-Onna will chase them down. If the victim is female she too would become a Kuchisake-Onna, if the victim is male he will be killed.
If someone is asked the second time and they still say yes then the Kuchisaki-Onna will leave happily and let the person be left in peace, another way is to distract the Kuchisaki-Onna by throwing something of intrest at it.
The Kuchisake Onna is obviously a very beautiful woman who stalks the night with a mask over her face and wearing a fine kimono, either with a scythe in her hand or a knife up the sleeve of her kimono.
