March theme was "The Elements"

This is demon from slavic folklore - personification of strong, stormy winds or whirlwinds. In some regions people believed that these winds were caused by dancing girls. This kind of demon was of course very dangerous - she tried to catch people (for example working on fields), then forced them to dance with her. And if you were truly lucky, she would left you unharmed!
