Concept
Name
This character was not given an official name at the time Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was released. Fans nicknamed her Daiyousei (大妖精, lit. "Big Fairy" or "Greater Fairy"). ZUN later used this nickname in an interview, although he probably used it as a general term for all stronger-than-normal fairies, so the name Daiyousei is still not really official as it is a semi-official name. [Ref. Needed]
Appearance
The sprite of Daiyousei in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil shows that she has short green hair with a yellow ribbon. She wears a blue dress with white trim and sleeves and also has golden wings. The sprite in Fairy Wars shows that she was holding a bouquet of flowers.
Story
- Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
During the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil the heroine was attacked by Daiyousei while flying over the lake around the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Very little is known about her, even why she attacked the heroine, and she had no importance to the story.
In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, she was simply shown to be playing hide and seek with Cirno.
Relationships
- Minor or Unknown Meetings or Associations
- Cirno
Daiyousei is first seen (Presumably) associated with Cirno in Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 13 when both of them were playing hide and seek. After meeting and talking with the Three Fairies of Light, Cirno appears to have completely forgotten about Daiyousei. She was later seen attacking Cirno in Fairy Wars.
Additional Information
Trivia
- Another possible appearance of Daiyousei is found in Strange and Bright Nature Deity, where a fairy of similar appearance is playing hide and seek with Cirno.
- Her appearance in Fairy Wars' Extra stage with Lily White marks the second ever appearance as a double midboss in the Touhou Project, where as the first time shown as a double midboss was the third stage midboss of Story of Eastern Wonderland, which are two strange creatures.
Fanon
- In many fan-fictions, she is described as Cirno's senior (usually; they are not related by blood). In these fictions she is depicted as timid, shy and very kind, especially to Cirno, although still weaker than Cirno.
- She is sometimes regarded as the elder or leader of all of the fairies living around the lake.
- Many fan works interpret "big fairy" or "greater fairy" as meaning having noticeably larger breasts than other fairies or just having large breasts in general.
- Some fanarts on the other hand, like to joke about how the "big fairy" is small and the "little devil" (Koakuma) is big.
- As an abbreviation of "Daiyousei", the affectionate name for her is Dai-chan (大ちゃん).
- When she takes on a darker personality and/or is thought of been unusually strong, she is sometimes called DIE-yousei (DIE妖精). This has been used recently to refer to her when she showed up in Fairy Wars.
