It's not as important within a single fight, but would come up for a retreating enemy. The bigger issue is gradual impairment, since pretty much any fatigue damage starts penalizing all their attributes.

The Yuki-Onna didn't use points (just kind of a monster stat block). Here's what it's like:

Yuki-Onna (Mid Tier)
ST: 12 HP: 12 Speed: 7
DX: 16 Will: 13 Move: 7
IQ: 13 Per: 10 AP: 12
HT: 12 FP: 0 SM: +0
Dodge: 12 Parry: 13 DR: 0
Naginata (Polearm) (17):1d+4 Cut reach 1,2*. U parry
Thrust:1d+2 imp Reach 2
Follow-up: 1 Burning damage (Freezing); wounds never bleed until this is treated
-3 to target the Naginata; it has DR 2, HT 12, but is Brittle; any hit for 4 injury or more shatters it.
Knife (Shortsword) (17): 1d+1 cut, Reach 1
Thrust:1d-1 imp, reach C,1
Burst Spikes (14):2d Piercing in a 2-yd AOE, 1 Burning damage follow-up; Selective. Always targets an area. 10 AP
Line Spikes (14) 2d Piercing in a 7-yd line AOE, 1 burning damage follow-up. Always targets an area. 10AP
Traits: No FP, regenerates 1/3rd of AP each turn instead; High Pain Threshold
She can replace broken weapons as if quick-readying them from a sheathe; this takes 1AP per attempt and is at SL 14

The burning follow-up damage is like a poison; since her weapons nick people a lot, it directly exposes flesh to extreme cold. It does prevent her attacks from causing bleeding, at least until they're treated.

Normally I'd assume creatures without FP would lack other metabolic issues like requiring to breathe, aren't yuki-onna basically ghosts?

I figured since she was weak to other pressure point effects that one would apply too; TLG has suffocation damage AP directly instead of FP (If I'm remembering right). Either way it didn't matter too much as she was at negative HP.

As for the mythology question, there's more than a few stories where they end up marrying a man and even having children with him, but leave once he breaks a promise. That's what the movie Kwaidan went with. It makes it a little hard to pick what type immunities they'd get.
