Appearance
At first glance, her name seems incredibly accurate. Her skin is as pale as snow, and almost perfectly unblemished. Her hair is just as white, and falls to her mid back with the softness of a cloud. Her small frame gives her the appearance of the sheltered treasure of some rich family, though this doesn't fit her true physical talents at all.
She most often wears a white kimono with a plum blossom pattern, a gift she received from her parents she received on the day she left to become a demon slayer.
Her eyes, a brilliant light blue, are usually closed and only ever open when she's fighting, which make them a rather rare thing to see.

Personality
She comes across as a very cold and focused person. She hardly seems to even have emotion, and only ever cares about her goal at the time, be it completion a mission, or anything else.

That, however, is far from the truth. While she does her best to ignore her heart and follow her teachings, she often struggles with closing herself off like she believes she should, and is prone to letting the guise slip. It isn't often, but there are times where she can be seen reminiscing on past events, and desiring for things she may not achieve.

Despite her initially unapproachable personality, she really is friendly. Her lack of worries and concerns means she comes across as more carefree than most, which typically rubs off on people during conversations and leaves them feeling more relaxed or happy afterwards.

Family
She comes from a family of three.

Her father, kitigawa Haruo, a wealthy man who came from a long line of high class. The kitigawa name has long belonged to his family, a family of nobles and warriors.

Her mother, Kitigawa Natsuki. She was a Sancha joro, a prostitute. She was purchased by a client permanently at her request, marrying him a few months later and giving birth to her first son a year after.

Her brother, Kitigawa Hideo. The eldest child, he was raised similarly to Yukihana. However, he wasn't as quite as gifted with the blades, and opted instead to become a peacekeeper in his hometown of Sasaguri, and part time kendo teacher

Friends
Due to how she seems to others, and her general lack of interaction with other slayers, she hasn't had enough time to develop any friendships with anyone.
Though, she does believe she would get along well with the flame, stone, water, and insect Hashiras.

Rivals/enemies
Much like her friends, there are none due to how little she socialises with others.
The closest things to her enemies are the demons she fights, but as of yet none have lived long enough to be a real enemy.

Breathing style
Snow breathing, breath of the cold. Derived from wind breathing, she utilises wind-like moments and rotational movements. However, she doesn't utilise air to extend the range of her cuts, and instead focuses more on distraction and obstruction to open to attack in less predictable ways

Forms
First form, clouds on the horizon.
This form is, technically, not a form. Instead, it's a variant of total concentration breathing that isn't quite as effective, but provides other perks. It lets her lower her body temperature without causing harm to herself, allowing her to provide more energy to other functions such as thinking, healing, and moving. Another unexpected side effect is an aura of sorts, a 'storm cloud' that makes her seem like a far more intimidating presence to those around her.

Second form, dizzying winds.
A simple redirection of enemy attacks, which are done at such a speed that many are frozen in a moment of shock, allowing her to attack or make movements that won't be seen. Slower people or demons this is used against will be stunned enough to allow her to finish the fight there and then.

Third form, falling ice.
A powerful downward slash, aided by gravity, that can be used to sever limbs or split a demon in two.

Fourth form, ice trap.
She stands still, focusing on the area ahead of her. Any attack that enters is deflected with her katana and countered with her wakizashi

Fifth form, hailstorm.
Due to her unique form of breathing, she's capable of blowing a large volume of hair in a very short time. Her low body temperature means that in a wet enough environment, provided it isn't too hot, she can essentially blow a small volley of small balls of ice into a target. While not capable of killing anything larger than a rat, it's enough to penetrate eyes if they hit, and will sting against bare skin.

Fifth form, blizzard.
A flurry of attacks made with her katana. None are done with intent to kill, but instead draw attention to the right to allow her to draw and strike with her wakizashi

Sixth form, hurricane.
Several horizontal slashes, which can hit anything within 360 degrees of her.

Sixth form variant, tornado.
By building speed before using her sixth form, she allows herself to spin faster and move more during her move, causing more potential damage with less predictability

Weapon
A full, three piece tanto-Daishō combo.
All three are made of Nichirin, and sport a pure white blade with traditional black handles

Strengths
She's well trained with her blades, moreso than most, and as such is prepared to use them in a variety of ways.
While she prefers not to use them, she is VERY good at surprise attacks due to her harmless appearance.
Her strong lungs allow her to fight for far longer than most, and her lower metabolism means she doesn't need to eat quite so much.

Weaknesses
She's almost completely blind. She can just about see a few feet ahead of her, and things like reading require her to be just a few inches from whatever she's looking at.

Her small body, while enhanced by her breathing technique, is still mostly normal. As such, her resistance to damage is relatively low, and her light weight prevents her from attacking as well when she doesn't have enough room to gain any sort of speed.

Backstory
She was raised, like her brother, to practice the art of swordsmanship, and learned the ideals passed down to her father.
Due to her talent, she decided she'd join the demon slayers to help protect the innocent and honour her family heritage.
At fifteen, she began learning various forms of breathing, but found them all to be poorly suited to her, and instead built her own technique from the previous technique she found easiest, wind.

Trivia
Her poor sight does occasionally cause her embarrassment, primarily when she has to read or look at the fine details of something. After all, it's impossible to look dignified when you're holding paper two inches from your face.
She actually has a closer bond with her crow than most, as he's the only way she can reliably navigate.
She's also scarily good at fighting without her blades, due to the belief that a weapon shouldn't be drawn unless you plan to use it, and things should be solved without them if possible. And, well, a young, blind, rich girl is a pretty easy target for robbery. Or worse.
