She was well-known for her creation of the Book of Friends which led to many youkai wanting the book for themselves, even attacking Takashi Natsume to steal it. This led to her grandson having to tie up all the loose ends that she left for him. One definite exception is that she returned to an Acorn-Eating Youkai to give him mochi.
