Corpse Princess

Story
When a person dies with intense regrets or obsessions, that person may simply refuse to die. It's not a conscious choice, it's a literal refusal by the body and mind to accept death. Once this happens, the person is reanimated as a Shikabane, a living corpse. Now fueled solely by the obsessions that prevented them from accepting death, Shikabane live solely to carry out their obsessions. Shikabane place no value on human life, and their obsessions or regrets invariably are twisted and warped into a justification for killing anyone who crosses their path.
