Heh, yeah, sorry. A Hashihime is a 'type' of youkai. It's more a classification than it is a role. We're vengeful spirits born out of envy, who came back to repay the person that wronged us, but that was a long long damned time ago. We just stick around at our bridge.

[It kind of is? Mostly because people did worship them, albeit out of fear or a desire for breakup.]

Like most spirits, my job is who I am, and who I am is my job. It becomes kind of intrinsic to who we are. I'm not sure how much we still can change at all, or if it's possible, though folks have suggested maybe here?
