It's probably familiar to anyone Japanese, but here's a source on the folklore it pulls from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyakki_Yagy%C5%8D
The current members are Nika (Fox), Madoka (Oni), Yui (Snow Woman), Marina (Spider) and Kanon (Cat). The spirits have actual names (Oni = Nio, Snow Woman = Yuki Onna), but I don't have time to look them up at the moment ๐
