Tone: Slightly suggestive/nuanced masculine speech. "...that too is good," "...this too is but an illusion," etc.
A Great Yokai in the form of a massive white snake. He prefers "firsts" and hates seeing tracks left in fresh snow, so he always appears as the vanguard.

The sea grows rough, and a storm approaches. Everyone thought it was just a winter storm that would pass if they waited a while; nothing to worry about. However, what fell from that storm was not rain.
Was it snow, then? It is winter, and the temperature is low. It wouldn't be strange for ice and snow to stick without melting. But something is different.
The color. The color is wrong. It is a dark, dark red... reminiscent of blood...
Red Snow
It signaled the arrival of a threat from the continent.
