Yaksini is a demon in the series.
History [ ]
A yaksini (Sanskrit: यक्षिणी, yakṣiṇī) is the female counterpart of the male yaksa , and they both attend to Kubera (also called Kuber), the Hindu god of wealth who rules in the mythical Himalayan kingdom of Alaka. They both look after treasure hidden in the earth and resemble fairies. Yaksini are often depicted as beautiful and voluptuous, with wide hips, narrow waists, broad shoulders and exaggerated, spherical breasts. In the Uddamareshvara Tantra, thirty-six yaksini are described, including their mantras and ritual prescriptions. A similar list of yaksas and yaksini is given in the Tantraraja Tantra, where it says that these beings are givers of whatever is desired.
Although yaksini are usually benevolent, there are also yaksini with malevolent characteristics in Indian folklore. In Kerala, southern India, yaksini are usually depicted as vampiric enchantresses, which is similar to how they are depicted in the series.
