Spoiler for "possible explanation":

I suspect that it may be possible for the denizens to do a similar trick. Konoe Fumina was probably just another human victim, whose existence was put to use to give Hecate plausible deniability. The bracelet might be a form of cocytus, sealing off enough of Hecate's crimson nature to make her nearly indistinguishable from a human, and even allow her to be frozen in fuzetsu.I can't see Hecate playing that charade so well on her own talent, so she may have had some "programming" done after she assumed near-human form. This is the sort of bizarre work the mad professor would glady engage in I'm sure, but the real problem is figuring out just why the Bal Masque would possibly engage in such a risky gamble. There must be more layers to such a plot than just trying to get close to Yuji, when they're risking leaving one of their most critical assets completely defenseless if Shana or anybody else jumps the gun.
One thing it seemed to me was certain enough: there was something important hinted at in the scene with Yuji, Fumina, and the bird she saved from the fallen nest. It seemed to me that Yuji half-recognized that she was "synchronizing" with animals, in a near-telepathic empathy. But then he simply brushed it away in his usual thick-skulled manner with "She really does resemble her."

Jingi are not univerally called Cocytus, just Alastor's jingi are. Like how Marco's is called a Grimoire and Tiamat's is a Persona.
Case in point.
Alastor = Chief monarch of Hell,
Cocytus is a river in hell.
Marchosias = Demon of the Ars Goetia, The Lesser Key of Solomon is a
Grimoire.
