Appearances

Daiyousei (大妖精) is a greater fairy who lives around the lake around the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Like other fairies, she is cheerful and mischievous, simple and emotional.

Concept

Name

This character was not given an official name at the time Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was released. Fans nicknamed her Daiyousei, meaning "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 now holds 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 is 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

Fandom

  • 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 "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 「大ちゃん」 (Dai-chan).
  • When she takes on a darker personality and/or is thought of unusually strong, she is sometimes called DIE妖精 (DIE-yousei). This has been used recently to refer to her when she showed up in Fairy Wars.

Response of questions by ZUN

<toggledisplay showtext="Show profile" hidetext="Hide profile"> In response to questions from fans, ZUN revealed some hints of her profile:

  • Ordinary fairies are weaker than humans. Greater fairies are mightier than other fairies.
    • (NOTE1: Cirno is said to be a very special exception in Phantasmagoria of Flower View.)
    • (NOTE2: According to this, "Greater Fairy" seems to be a generic term for some mighty fairies, although it is usually regarded as a personal name of the midboss of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil stage 2.)
  • Like other fairies, she is cheerful and mischievous, simple and emotional.
  • She lives around the lake around Scarlet Devil Mansion.
  • She is one of normal-enemy class (not boss-class) characters. There are many such characters, and they are not given any special role in the story.
