Sorry I didn't made it this time. RL showed it's ugly face again. At least you got two cool submission (I still cannot discern the 'female' part of the picture ).

quick question: if pyrophobic, what lights her lamp?

and another quickie question: is she a cross between ogress and troll?

Thank you for asking. Here are the answers:

The lantern (see Other Gear entry):
"lantern (caged Will-o'-Wisp or continual flame)"
I thought about using glow-worms, but their scope of application may be limited outside of certain season. Additionally, being pretty well off in diplomacy department, Yakshini should find it rather easy to get a cleric to cast a spell for her. The Will-o'-Wisp alternative is just a flavor.

She is actually a female Ogre Mage. Under Pathfinder, Ogre Mages are actually a type of Oni (fiendish entity wearing Ogrish form). Daughters of Hariti are a subtribe, one which is closer to nature.

For more information, you may want to google for "Hariti" (mythological demigoddess of demonic origin, who repented her evil ways and was enlightened by Buddha). Her demonic origin makes a good Oni-like creature.
Yakshini are mythological beings (female counterparts to Yaksha), who, according to some sources, may be considered shapechangers.
The evil twist was added by me.

Regards,
Ruemere
