Fiura

An ugly little woman with foul breath she lives in the woods dressed in moss. She is coquettish and likes to bathe in cascades, grooming her thick long hair with a comb of crystal. After bathing she sits naked for hours on a bed of moss.

A shameless women and lover of single men, she casts a spell of sickness upon those that rebuff her, be they animals or men. To many she is the daughter of a she-devil and from this come expressions indicating temptation or possession by an evil feminine spirit. Fiura is an irresistible seductress and having satisfied her sexual appetite drives her victims insane. The power of her breath can scar or turn animals lame. A person may be mocked by calling "donde va ese "Fiura", as if to say: "what's up with that scarecrow?"
