Meet Arade (Are-ah-dee)
She is an Obake - a shape shifting Japanese Yokai (supernatural being).
The Obake are known for their ability to shift into any form they wish - birds, animals, insects, humans, and even inanimate objects.
She was a companion of our late elder, Janesta. Jan passed away a few years ago and had been a counsel elder since 1981.
Jan's grandmother was Japanese, so she always had an interest in working with Japanese entities.
The Obake are often considered demons, though they really aren't demonic. They do have a natural duality about them and are both light and dark, good and bad.
So...now, what specialities does an Obake hold?
LOTS of them!
