Abilties:

Nightmare/Paranoia Affinity - Can induce a person to see and experience their worst fears while either awake or asleep. Can cause them to feel fear that heightens as time goes on, often quickly gaining hallucinatons of both auditory and visual forms the longer they are under the spell. Left long enough, the hallucinations become real to the viewer (and no one else). Also as a result of this affinity, she can effortlessly imitate voices and sounds (creaking doors, dead person, etc), to heighten the confusion and paranoia.

Cloaking - Ability to cause people she is targeting to feel like they are being followed, and they are, of course, being stalked by her, but they generally cannot detect her and feel as if they are imagining it, thus heightening their paranoia. Able to also travel through shadows through this ability. 

Fire Affinity - Decently skilled and can shoot fireballs or create flames. 

Paralysis - Capable of causing paralysis with her gaze and the eyes on her tail. 

Regeneration - A variant form where she regenerates extremely quickly if there is a high level of negative emotions in the area. If the area is suffused with positive emotions and energy, she'll regenerate only at a slightly faster rate than humans. 

Vamping (Soul) - Consumes people's emotions like most demons, with a high preference for extreme fear and horror. But also eat or leech on souls, preferring innocent, traumatized souls, and can gain their powers briefly and see their memories. Her form of vamping can cause extreme pain in victims.

Shapeshift - Capable of shifting into a human form and then of course, her demon form.

Possesses superhuman strength and speed. 

Skills:
-Ridiculously good in hand-to-hand combat, fights viciously and enthusiastically and very dirty, but prefers being a stalker.

Weaknesses:
-Her eyes in demon form are weak to sudden light.
-Areas with a lot of positive energy (like a wedding) or are "holy" will make her moody and weak and ill.
-Hitting her horns will cause headaches at the very least.

Backstory:

Born from the feeling of paranoia, the first thing Kauhu'Ya did was engage in some excellent promoton of said emotion, leaving what few survivors remained in the village she was awaken in that had just been ravaged by bandits dead as she feasted on their fear, flesh, and souls. Afterwards, she fed on animals as she made her way to the next village she found and devoured the residents there as well, laughing as they all fell to their terrible, delightful fears, glorying in their horror and pain and happy that she was the cause. She settled into a pattern where she would move to a new village with a low population and become a beloved member of the community as she slowly exerted her control until the fear overtook them, feeding her greatly as they struggled to flee, but by then, it was generally too late and she happily ate more flesh and souls. She consumed both humans and nonhumans, but for the most part, stuck to humans as there were so many of them, and living in Caligna as they were, outside of the protection of the Arch, they were just asking to be eaten! And unlike nonhumans, most humans were so weak and did not have powers, making them easy prey for her. No one cared if some foolish human traveled deeper into Caligna, and she happily ate those explorers and many of the slavers that decided to try their fortunes at trapping nonhumans.

It was due to her primary consumption of humans and vast enjoyment at hurting them terribly that she eventually came to the attention of Grendel, and was met by the head herself, and made an offer Kauhu'Ya found was very beneficial to her. Continue eating humans, they would provide targets for her, but she could also continue eating stragglers and slavers and if she wanted to torture them? That was absolutely fine. They would also provide her nonhuman targets on occasion, sometimes their own members, those they deemed were a danger to their cause, too soft-hearted, too weak, and surely in need of some good tormenting. Aww, she could not kill most of them then, but ample food and fun sounded great to her, and she liked the head's ideals enough and decided to join Grendel. The moment she lost interest, she would just ditch, but for now, the organization's purpose and her job were very beneficial and entertaining to her, so she was inclined to stay.
