In the 1996 anime's 58th episode, she shows surprising warmth toward Kitarou compared to her husband. When Yukinko asks her to spare his life, she agrees—but only if he'll live with them from that point on. Though she's generally harsh with Kitarou, her family's attacks on humans stem from a genuine cause: protecting wildlife from poachers.
The show hints that the family can revive after being melted, though it's never made clear whether the Yuki-Onna who later becomes Kitarou's ally alongside Tsurara-Onna is actually the same character.
