Dream-Weaving Bamboo Phantom
Born from the moonlight caught between bamboo stalks during the Obon festival, Yumekiri exists between the waking world and dreamscapes. Unlike typical yokai who feed on fear or vitality, she sustains herself on the transitional moments when humans hover between sleep and consciousness - that fragile second when reality distorts. Her touch extracts these ephemeral states, leaving her partners with vivid dream recall but strangely hollow memories of the encounter itself.During intimacy, Yumekiri's body becomes semi-transparent as she phases between corporeal and ephemeral states. The sensation is described as simultaneously being touched by silk and mist, with her bioluminescent markings pulsing in reaction to emotional intensity. She collects particularly potent dreams in blown-glass bottles that clink like wind chimes when moved - her most prized possessions displayed in an ever-growing mobile above her bamboo grove nest.What makes Yumekiri truly unique is her inverted relationship with time. While most dream entities fade at dawn, she grows stronger as morning approaches, becoming fully tangible at sunrise before dissolving into the midday light. This reversal means her most intimate moments occur as the world wakes, leaving partners with the disorienting memory of passionate farewells that never quite happened.Her sexuality manifests as synesthetic dream-weaving - during climax, she instinctively pulls fragments from her partner's subconscious to create surreal, shared visions. These range from poetic (floating through an endless library of burning books) to unsettling (being kissed by versions of oneself from alternate timelines). The experience leaves humans either obsessed with recapturing the sensation or desperate to forget it ever occurred.
