Lady Obaba
When Yohko gets sucked  into another dimension, after her strange
dreams, she meets an old woman.  It would seem that Lady Obaba
is just  serving  Lord  Biryu, but she  has  a few  more  tricks  up  her
sleeve  than  she  lets  on  to.  Lady  Obaba  also  tends  to  be  just
abstract  and  vague  enough  to  confuse Yohko.  She's  is however
very kind and polite.

Princess Yanagi
From  inside  the orb of her  hideous  demon  captor,  appears  the
beautiful Princess Yanagi who nearly radiates elegance and grace.
A Nymph of the  Willows, she  plays the  flute, and is  endowed with
the  power  to form a  protective  shield, which even a  very powerful
demon would have quite a difficult time penetrating.

Master Biryu
With a soothing  voice,  pretty enough to look like he 
came from a Shoujo manga, and a with very serene 
quality  about  him,   Biryu  quickly  catches  Yohko's 
heart  (yeah,  like  THAT'S  a  difficult  task...).   It 
seems that in a time long past, he was imprisoned 
by   his   father  for  a   forbidden  love,  and   is  held 
captive  inside of  an  orb  which lay within a demon 
sentinel... waiting to be set free.

Demons

In  episode  3  Yohko  actually  has  to  fight 
a  lot  of  different  devels  (well  one  that 
changes  forms  often  anyhow).  Each  of 
them  seems  slightly  different, and  crafty 
in  their  own  way.  The weak  point  on  the 
demons  are  the  places  that  the  orbs are 
embedded within them.  Even with a "weak" 
spot, the  demons are  very  powerful...  
and is  Yohko  biting of  a  little  bit more 
than  she  can  chew?
