Changing snegurochka from a character to a general tag. Ayakashi/yokai archetype tags in general.

Posted under Tags

Snegurochka is a snow maiden in Slavic mythology, however she is treated like she is a single character on the site so far. Now that Ayakashi Triangle introduced a character called Snegurochka, I propose that the general tag should be treated as an archetype tag similar to a yuki onna to avoid confusion. A good (if explicit) example would be post #1336002 that tags both the respective archetype as well as the character named after it.

In general we should probably think about implying yuki onna for all post concerning Yuki Onna (Nurarihyon No Mago) or similar ayakashi/yokai that are simply named after their respective race to avoid confusion.

As far as I can tell, all of the Snegurochka posts we currently have are for the newer Christmas/New Year version of the character. It makes more sense as a character tag because it is for a single character, not a general race/species of characters. Even her older incarnations, at least to me, seem more like reimaginings of the same character in different roles, rather than entirely different characters.

As for yuki onna, we don't do cross category implications. That can only result in a mess, and is too easily prone to breaking "tag what you see". There are a lot of Yuki Onna (nurarihyon no mago) posts that don't do anything to show she's a yuki onna. post #1336002 is the only one that's even tagged for it.
