Pre-Conjure Yurei

Yurei named Crai
Detailed Exact Appearance: Crai manifests as a profoundly somber and introspective Yurei, appearing as a figure of blurred edges and subtle translucence. He stands approximately six feet tall. His skin possesses an unnerving paleness, almost like aged parchment, and his eyes, though perpetually downcast, hint at a deep, melancholic indigo hue within their shadowed depths. His hair is long, straight, and jet-black, perpetually falling over his face, obscuring his features, and reaching past his waist. He is clad in a traditional white burial kimono, which hangs loosely on his form, subtly trailing off into a hazy mist where his feet would be, never quite touching the ground. A faint, chill breeze seems to emanate from His presence, and a subtle, almost imperceptible shimmering effect plays around His form, a visual representation of his profound, unsettling stillness.
