* DoomMagnet: A Zashiki Warashi can emit a "misfortune aura", when they leave a house that is declining, sometimes ominously predicting the deaths of all family members in a fire or by mysterious food poisoning. Due to her powers having been [[MagicEnhancement boosted]], the misfortune brought by Yukari isn't limited to a single household or even the country of Japan, [[UpToEleven it affects all of humanity]]. This misfortune is something Yukari causes unconsciously and can't be controlled, and it will automatically pile up [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidences and small amounts of bad luck]] to manipulate people who are planning to cause her harm.

An incredibly powerful and legendary archdemon who is easily on par with the demons making up the SevenDeadlySins, such as [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Beelzebub or Satan]], and with other beings like [[Myth/HinduMythology Rahu]] or [[UsefulNotes/{{Buddhism}} Mara]]. Because of that, Tselika is on an entirely different level than normal Youkai and spirits. She is first mentionned in Volume 2, as an old friend of the Succubus who sends her a postcard from Paris, before being crucial to the volume's antagonist's defeat, who is tricked into summoning the demon, thanks to Shinobu remembering her name, and, as she was far outside the summoner's abilities, had her soul ripped from her body and dragged to Hell. She reappears at the end of Volume 6, this time as an antagonist summoned by the BigBad, and using the summoner's body as a vessel.
