Yaksha

Aru Shah and the Song of Death
When Aru and Mini  were dealing with the Heartless zombies in the Night Bazaar a yaksha storeowner holler at them after a bowl of glass beads spilled its contents saying that they would pay for it and they won't get the Saturday discount either. In the Department of Many Voices, when Aru, Aiden and Brynne were looking for Durvasa they met a yakshini intern named Iris that didn't let they talk to the sage saying they had to wait three centuries. Aiden smolders the yakshini in order to get them to meet Durvasa that would help them to get Mini out of the Land of Sleep. At the The Mall of Meditation Groves there were a crowd of yakshas and yakshinis offering Aru and the group things like meditating in the wilds of India. One yaksha gives them information of how to go to the Swamp of New Jersey.

Appearance
In early Indian art, male yakṣhas are portrayed either as fearsome warriors or as portly, stout and dwarf-like. Female yakṣhas, known as yakshinis, are portrayed as beautiful young women with happy round faces and full breasts and hips.

Iris, one yakshini intern at the Department of Many Voices had frost tendrils for hair and a fair skin. Another yakshini at the Mall of Meditation Grove had living vines in her hair and lime green wings.
