Hannya



Hannya were distant cousins of teh Bog Hag. They were a female shugenja who made a pact with a Kansen to effect her a permanent transformation.

Appearance
The upper half part of its body ressembled an elderly human female, with a long, hooked nose, a forked tongue, and black eyes covered with a milky film. The body was lean and and bony whith green skin. The fingers ended in sharp claws. The rest of the body was sepernt-like.

Abilities
The hannya used to prey the weak and helpless, withdrawing when the opponent was a match. It used her shapehifting abilities to assume the form of an old woman, and planted a suggestion in her prey's mind to force them to help or accompany an old lady. During the ensuing pleasant conversation the hannya attacked her victim.

Weakness
Hannya hated violets, they never entered a home with them, and a human carrying them was immune to her mind abilities.
