The Ghost appears as an innocent young woman, surrounded at all times by a luminescent glow. She speaks and moves delicately. The Ghost likes to remind people of their pasts, particularly past Christmases, in an effort to make them reflect on how they became who they are. She even has the ability to create visions of those past events - but cannot change them, no matter how regretful. Although she appears young, she can at times speak with wisdom beyond her apparent years. She has two siblings, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Future.
