Pscipolnitsa is a character of myth and tradition, common to much of Eastern Europe.
Referred to as Południca in Polish, Полудница (Poludnica) in Serbian, Polednice in Czech, Poludnica in Slovak, Полудница (Poludnitsa) in Bulgarian, and Полудница (Poludnitsa) in Russian, she is a noon demon in Slavic mythology. She can be referred to in English as "Lady Midday". She was usually pictured as a young woman dressed in white that roamed field bounds. She assailed folk working at noon causing heatstrokes and aches in the neck. Sometimes she even caused madness.
Pscipolnitsa, who makes herself more evident in the middle of hot summer days, takes the form of whirling dust clouds and carries a scythe or shears, but it's likely that the shears would be of an older style, and not akin to modern scissors. She will stop people in the field to ask them difficult questions or engage them in conversation. If anyone fails to answer a question or tries to change the subject, she will cut off their head or strike them with illness. She may appear as an old hag or beautiful woman, or a 12-year-old girl; and she was useful in scaring children away from valuable crops. She is only seen on the hottest part of the day and is a personification of a sun-stroke.

elficho, what did you mean "Add a scythe"? In case you didn't hear about this lady http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_midday

GolemAura, Thank you.
English version of explanation is differ from mmmm... original one. In original it says that she never harms people who live their lives right, only sinners.
nice work
elficho
thank you, I guess I was a bit tired yesterday, should google the word. 
In my part of that world she could appear without those tools. That fact causes confusion regular women for Lady Midday. And good excuse for unfaithful husbands. 
Reminds me of anture and pure things, nice one author.
very nice
I love the expression on her face. To me it goes great with the description of her "ways". Great job and good luck!
Thank you guys for nice comments and wishes.
Just addition from my language version. When she starts to ask difficult questions person should answer detailed and slow explaining everything. Because she is disappearing at noon, so there is chance to survive.
I get a nice feeling from this one, but I would have loved to see a higher resolution, as for the time being the bottom part of the dress just looks a bit too blurry to me! And some brightness and contrast adjustment layer would have given the image a great plus! Best of luck!
Nellista, thank you, she is appearing from the swirl of the dust, so bottom part of the dress isn't visible, not materialized yet.
Howdie stranger!
