The travelling bard
1. IEncountered during her travels she offers to play for you, as the song goes on something feels off as you start shrinking.
Accidents happen
1. Speeding down the road, you crash into a catgirl or run over a cat. Whichever it is, you get out of the car.
1.1 If it's a catgirl, she'll suddenly spring to life and attack
1.2 Its a cat, there will be a flash finding you have been possessed and turned into a neko. You have to find a way to exorcise her from you before she completely takes over.

Bakeneko ideas
Replacement
1. The pet of a family, she witnesses the mother's abuse of the children/is abused herself. One day it seems like the mother has done a complete 180; she's kind caring and gives them a much attention as possible. . .there's a question though.
what happened to the cat?/whete did it go?
(this can be played from many angles. The mother beccoming prey to the cat, the children figuring out their mother is now the cat/witnessing the voring, trying to trick the cat into revealing her true self by feeding her live fish/ mermaids etc.)
Geisha
Wandering the streets at night you find a beautiful woman strumming a sad song on her shamisen.
Inviting her home to give her shelter, you eventually nootice something odd about her, be it her voice, how she eats (swallowing sushi whole), or if the room is bright enough; her shadow is of a cat.
(Will you throw her out, and risk being cursed? Will she use her magic to eat you? Will you be able to her? Or will you accept her advances, knowing she will probably vanish before sunrise, slinking away like the cat she is)
Food poisoning
1. Invited over to dinner by a kind woman be it your neighbor or a simple stranger, Anna has invited many others.
As the dinner goes on, you start to feel really odd, bakenekos eat poison on a regular basis; albeit with good intentions, the cat slipped poison in your food making you very vulnerable. (What kind though, paralysis? Shrinking?)
2. Trying to dispose of the nuisance, (supposed pred can be anything. Even bratty children) you slip shrinking poison in her food. . . To your surprise she eats most of it, leaving to get some water. Confused, you try it, thinking you goofed up; you shrink onto the spoon with the last bite as Anna returns to finish the rest.
2.1 maybe she is aware of the poison, and makes you eat some for your deceit, spend some time in her belly.
Snake hunter
1. Bakeneko can eat many things; mice, birds, humans, but snakes are their favorite. Bribed by the local village, immunity for food; Anna slinks into into a snake's home to have some food.
2. Maybe it's a trap, encountering a naga or a hydra and has to fight for her meal ticket.
2.1 maybe after being overpowered by the serpent, being unbirthed by the creatures she's hunted for decades.
Revenge/Curses
1. A meaner version of Robin hood, she lashes out at the cruel and greedy, stealing valuable objects and running off into the snowy mountain if they're foolish enough to follow after her they'll be too cold to move.
So much cold air at the mountain peak she can become huge, big enough to swallow you in one gulp.
2.Anna plagues a predator making their life miserable; maybe putting them through what their prey suffered
3.A slave of the predator manages to chase the cat off, for his/her troubles; the cat curses them.
2.1 if the slave was a predator as well, a hole appears in his/her stomach ,making the pred so hungry that it'll wind up eating their master.
2.2 if it's a prey Anna disguises herself as the master and tries to eat the slave, if she fails even better cause this causes mistrust and paranoia among the once perfect pair.
Namahage
Anna personally, learned to branch out her transformations to humanoids, discoverin the ogres atop the mountain who scold the mean adults and lazy children on new years eve.
1. She decides to do it monthly, sometimes even weekly; heckling children into doing good, whispering things like: "homework done yet?" or for the adults, "children fed yet?"
On new years eve prior, Anna slinks past peoples' houses meowing out things like “I'm hungry, are there any crybabies here? Any tasty kids who don’t listen to their parents?”
The parents then beg forgiveness from the yokai, leaving out a saucer of milk to thank her for gracing their abode
1.1 On the next new years eve, if a child hasn't improved from last year; Anna will come back to punish the "lazy do nothing".

Yuki onna ideas
1. The Water Beggar
The Yuki Onna travels on the wind, and appears on days with a light snowfall. She walks through the town swinging a white Gohei wand, and shouting “Please give me water—hot or cold!” to anyone she meets. If you give the Yuki Onna cold water, she swells in size. If you give her hot water, she melts and shrinks.
1.1 Give her a liter of cold water she'll be as tall as a house. A liter of hot water will make her as small as a blade of grass.

2.Yuki Onna – The Moon Princess
The Yuki Onna was once a princess of the lunar world, and lived on the Moon. Her life was full of luxury and indulgence—and extremely boring. She became fascinated looking at the world below, and so she snuck out one night and fell down to Earth, traveling on the snow. However, coming down was easier than going back up, and she became stuck on the Earth. On snowy nights of the full moon, she appears, pining for her old home. (More story based rp)
3. Yuki Onna – The Snow Vampire
The Yuki Onna is a terrible yokai, that haunts the snowy forests looking to feed. She lives by sucking seiki (精気), the vital energy of the human body. She extracts the seiki by first freezing her victims to death, then sucking their souls out through their mouths.
This type of Yuki Onna is particularly nasty in Nigata, where it is said she particularly prefers the seiki of children.
3.1 Anna has learned how to make what she calls seikE, a powerful sake from the spirit energy of humans.
Demand gets so high she has to capture humans en masse to keep her stock up. You could be one of the humans or maybe even a customer, the two of you drinking and talking of your evil deeds.
-
4.Yuki Onna – The Talking Snow Woman
This Yuki Onna has a peculiar trait—she needs to engage her victims in conversation in order to attack. When she meets someone on a dark and snowy night, she will call out to them. If the person answers her greeting, she attacks.
Unless you are from Fukushima or Ibaraki prefecture; in those case the Yuki Onna only attacks those who ignore her. And her method of killing is specific. Anyone who ignores her she grabs and throws into a nearby ravine. (A similar yokai in Fukui is called the Koshimusume (越娘), the Cross-Over Daughter.)
4.1 Taking advantag of people's kindness she cries and calls out for help, if you call out she'll follow your voice "rewarding" you once found.

5.The Five Battledores of the Yuki Onna – A Tale of Ghostly Revenge
Some accounts say that the Yuki Onna is not a Spirit of Snow, but the ghost of a woman seeking revenge. This mainly comes from Chikamatsu Monzaemon’s bunraku puppet play Yuki Onna Gomai Hakoita (雪女五枚羽子板; The Five Battledores of the Yuki Onna). In Chikamatsu’s play, the Yuki Onna is the ghost of a woman who was deceived, lead into the forest, and murdered. She manifests as the Yuki Onna in order to get her revenge.
5.1 Disciverung the vilage she once belonged to, she remembers how no one tried to rescue her.
Outraged she starts eating the vilagers, exacting her revenge until someone can appease her or they're all gone.
Variations of this theme—combining the bewitching beauty of the Yuki Onna with slaughter and revenge
6.1
~but the version of the Yuki Onna that most people know—either in Japan or elsewhere—comes from Lafcadio Hearn’s book Kwaidan. His kindler, gentler—and more romantic—Yuki Onna has become the template for Yuki Onna and superseded all others. Odds are in modern times if someone speaks of the Yuki Onna 99% of the time it will be Hearn’s version. (I like it since it can be chopped up into mini segements. Played up for vore or romance. Elipses will be used to mark a pitential end to the scene.
Ps very wordy up ahead)
Two woodcutters—a father and son—were trapped in the forest when a sudden blizzard arose. . .
They took shelter in an abandoned cabin, huddling in their clothes to sleep next to a meager fire.
In the middle of the night, the son awoke when the door banged open and an ethereally beautiful woman came in from the blizzard. The woman crept over the father and blew her breath on him, then sucked up his living essence. . .
As she turned to do the same to the son, she paused. Captivated by his youth and beauty, the Yuki Onna said she would let him live, but only on the condition that he never speak of this night. . .
The following winter, the young man was standing in his doorway when a beautiful woman traveler came walking by. The man offered her refuge from the elements, and the woman accepted. . .
They quickly fell in love, and the woman never made it to her destination. She stayed on, married the young man, and they lived happily for years. They even had several children. . .
One night, when the kids where happily playing, the man looked up at his wife and a memory surfaced that he hadn’t thought about in years. When his wife asked him what was the matter, he told her of his encounter with the snow spirit years ago, wondering if it had all been a dream. The smile fell from his wife’s face, as she revealed herself to be that very same Yuki Onna. . .
She was livid that her husband had broken her promise, and would have killed him there were it not for the children. As it was she left instantly, leaving the husband behind with regret and sorrow but not before warning if anything should happen to their children he would suffer greatly
