    No. Shes a Japanese ghost. Not even going to attempt to spell the name

    No, Spirit is a descendant of the Oni but she's not an Oni. An Oni is a specific type of ogrish demon. Spirit is more like a vengeful ghost.

    Oni (.mw-parser-output ruby>rt,.mw-parser-output ruby>rtc{font-feature-settings:"ruby"1;font-size:85%}.mw-parser-output ruby.large{font-size:250%}.mw-parser-output ruby.large>rt,.mw-parser-output ruby.large>rtc{font-size:50%}鬼 (おに)) is a kind of yōkai, ogre, or troll in Japanese folklore. They are typically portrayed as hulking figures with one or more horns growing out of their heads.

    No, Rin is an onryō. VERY different.

    Oni are Japanese demon ogres born from the most wicked of humans when they die and appear in one of the Buddhist hells.

    Onryō are vengeful spirits of those who died with extremely strong passions, such as jealousy, hatred, or, in Rin's case, rage. They closely resemble the way the person died (in Rin's case, chopped to pieces with a katana).
