Yuna

The Yuna or Bath Women are women who live and work at the Bathhouse under Yubaba.

They do many jobs in the Bathhouse while employed, such as waiting on the customers, preparing and serving the food, and cleaning the tubs for future use. They are the spirits of slugs. They showed cold faces toward Chihiro Ogino upon her arrival, but became more supportive of her throughout the film, evident by their cheering for her after she helped the Stink Spirit and her successful completion of Yubaba's final challenge.

Trivia

 * Many of them are slug women (ナメクジ女, namekuji-onna), humanoid slugs.
 * Choice of the species (snake, flog, slug) for the workers of the Bathhouse is based on San-Sukumi (三竦み, lit. "trilemma").
 * Some of the Yuna were dressed in hakama and haori (red, divided pants and a white kimono jacket), resembling miko or shrine maidens.
 * Other Yuna were dressed the same as Lin and Chihiro were.
