Padureana is a woman born the forest and cursed by mother forest to live here forever.

Her hair is made of trees and branches and her cry is often heard by the travelers that cross forests at night. Nocturnal creatures never seen by human eyes, are hiding in her hair keeping the men away from her.

The only one to break the curse and make her human is the one that has wings, and able of true love.

At night she comes at the windows of single men in the villages around the forests loving them in the hope she will become human. She steals small children from unatended cribs and tries to cover herself with the soft skin of babies.

To keep her away from the vilagest large fires are started at the edge of the forests.
