Rosa Klebb is a ugly woman with "toad like figure" who is a lesbian while Kronsteen is bisexual and "a monster".

It's a truth universally acknowledged that women want to read about relationships."

Megre likens a man who marries unwisely based on looks and fashion to one who marries a Kikimora. A footnote in the English version describes the Kikimora as a malevolent female ghost said to attach itself to a particular house and disturb the inhabitants, males in particular. By extension, the term may also suggest an ugly woman in shabby clothing, ill-tempered and grumbling, striving to make the life of her husband (and men in general) unbearable. In 1988, Kirill Eskov discovered and described a new genus and species of sheetweaver spider, Kikimora palustris after this spirit.

Being named a gypsy could carry certain legal penalties and although these were rarely applied, gypsies were nevertheless treated as pariahs. Moore (1994) described Squires as a "dark, tall, but stooping, elderly woman, with an estimated age ranging from sixty to eighty, sometimes depicted as exceptionally hearty", continuing "all accounts do agree that she was an exceptionally ugly woman, with a very large nose and a lower lip swollen and disfigured by scrofula." Therefore, for a while, the public were firmly on Canning's side. An 18-year-old servant girl threatened with prostitution and held captive by a remarkably ugly old gypsy of bad repute, having escaped, emaciated, to return to her loving mother; it was a story that the vast bulk of general public as well as the gentry, found irresistible.

In that Gazu (illustrated reference), it depicts beside what appears to be a brothel a woman with an elongated lower body, but the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō has no explanatory text, so it is unclear what kind of yōkai this depiction was intended to be. There is the interpretation that this yōkai was an imaginary invention designed to parody the Yoshiwara Yūkaku of the Edo period. The book Yōkaigadan Zenshū Nihonhen Jō (妖怪画談全集 日本編 上, "Complete Analysis of Yōkai Paintings, Volume Japan, First Part") by the folklorist Morihiko Fujisawa gives the explanation that in the story from the Wakayama Prefecture called Takanyōbō (高女房, "Tall Woman"), a takaonna would cause frights on the second floors of girō (brothels). Also, in the book Tōhoku Kaidan no Tabi (Travels for Mysterious Tales of Tōhoku) by the novelist Norio Yamada, the kaidan (mysterious tale) titled "Takaonna" presents the takaonna as one that peeks peek into the second floor of the house, as a deeply jealous and ugly woman who could not get with any man, so they would walk around peeking on the second floors of brothels.
