Yōsei

Not much is known about this fairy that has a Japanese origin. Old folklore from people of the Iwate Prefecture says it was feared the Yōsei have the ability to bring the dead back to life. There lies truth in this folklore. The Yōsei are creatures who have abilities mainly in healing and are extremely skilled at anything medical. A Yōsei  can revive the dead, but the price of revival is the death of the Yōsei.

Yōsei are generally tall, radiant, angelic beings. They tend to mature early and in adolescence may already look like their adult selves.
