Clownpiece (クラウンピース Kuraunpīsu) is a fairy of Hell.
General Information
Clownpiece appeared as the Stage 5 Boss in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.
Abilities
Driving people to madness
- With the flame of her torch, Clownpiece is able to drive others insane. According to herself, any human looking at the light of her torch would be unable to maintain their sanity, making her able to mess with their minds.[1] In the Human Village, she used this ability to make villagers extremely irritable and short-tempered, attacking each other for trivial reasons. She can also use this madness to increase the strength of other fairies and herself.
- Clownpiece claims that, while this may seem like an unusual power for a nature spirit, it's nothing strange in Hell where "nature" consists mainly of the souls of the dead.
Embodiment of impurity
- Clownpiece was among the fairies exposed to Junko's abilities prior to the events of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, transforming her into a being of pure lifeforce whom the Lunarians could not fight without becoming permanently tainted. It's unclear whether this is still true by the time she comes to Gensokyo.
Background Information
Origin
Clownpiece is based on lampads[2], nymphs who serve the goddess Hecate, the basis of Hecatia. Lampads accompany Hecate on her night-time travels and carry torches which have the power to drive someone to madness, like Clownpiece.
Design
Clownpiece wears leggings and a shirt with the pattern similar to the American flag. As she resembles a jester, she has a frilled collar and a purple, polka-dotted jester's hat. She has long, blonde hair and pink eyes. She also has a pair of fairy wings and carries a torch. In Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom her shirt has short, loose sleeves, while in Visionary Fairies in Shrine they are wrist-length with fur cuffs.
Her design may have been inspired by Funny Valentine from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, who has long blonde hair and scars on his back in the shape of the Star-Spangled Banner; in the videogame All Star Battle he also uses his powers by wreathing himself in an American flag.
Appearances
Games
- Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom
Literature
- Visionary Fairies in Shrine
While setting up a prank on Reimu Hakurei, The Three Fairies of Light hear her make mention of a new fairy. Curious about her identity, they travel to the Human Village, where they find Clownpiece manipulating the minds of the humans there, causing them to become aggressive toward one another. When confronted by The Three Fairies of Light, Clownpiece explains her power to drive people mad, and mentions that she is from Hell, but doesn't want to return there. Impressed by her ability, they invite her to live with them, but she declines, stating that she has someone else to live with. At the mention of pranking opportunities, however, Clownpiece expresses curiosity toward their abilities, and they introduce themselves. However, Clownpiece fails to comprehend and memorize their fairly simple introduction, so Sunny Milk tells her not to worry about it. Luna Child warns Clownpiece not to play her pranks in the Human Village, because the Shrine Maiden has her eye on Clownpiece. With that, The Three Fairies of Light depart home. As they leave, Clownpiece remarks her interest in the three of them.
Relationships
Junko tried to fill the moon with fairies' life forces by using her ability and Clownpiece.
Clownpiece is a subordinate of Hecatia, who allows Junko to use Clownpiece in her scheme against the Lunar Capital.

○5面ボス 地獄の妖精 クラウンピース
地獄の妖精。 妖精は大抵の場所にいる。勿論地獄にもいる。 彼女はヘカーティアに命令されて、静かの海を地獄から連れてきた妖精達で満たした。
「お前達がここらで遊んでいてくれれば、月の民は手が出せない。 と言われて、彼女は大いに遊んだ。 月面は、荒涼とした世界だったが、地獄に比べればまだ美しく、楽しい世界だった。
「もし、月の都から出てくる者があったら、何をしても良い」 |
Stage 5 Boss - Fairy of Hell Clownpiece Species: Fairy A fairy from Hell. Fairies can be found just about anywhere; Hell is no different. Under Hecatia's orders, she filled the Mare Tranquillitatis with fairies she brought with her from Hell. Then, thanks to Junko's ability, they were awakened. "If you play around here, the Lunarians will be unable to act. ...that's what she was told. So, she played to her heart's content. The lunar surface was a desolate world, but compared to Hell, it was still beautiful and fun. Though the Lunar Capital showed no signs of action for a long time, "If anyone comes from the Lunar Capital, go wild. Do anything you like." |
