Daiyousei (大妖精) is a greater fairy who lives around the Misty Lake near the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Like other fairies, she's cheerful and mischievous, simple and emotional. Little is known about her.

General Information

In response to questions from fans, ZUN revealed some hints about her such as "Ordinary fairies are weaker than humans. Greater fairies are mightier than other fairies."[Ref. Needed] Cirno is said to be a very special exception in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, but according to this, "Greater Fairy" seems to be a generic term for some mighty fairies, although it's usually regarded as a personal name. She's said to be one of the normal-enemy class (not boss-class) characters.

Character Design

Name

Daiyousei wasn't given an official name at the time Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was released; ZUN confirmed early on that she didn't have any official name.[1] 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's a semi-official name.[Ref. Needed]

Design

The design of Daiyoisei appears to show 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

Games

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

During the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil the heroine was attacked by Daiyousei while flying over the Misty 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.

Literature

In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, she was simply shown to be playing hide and seek with Cirno.

Relationships

Cirno

Daiyousei is first seen (presumably) associated with Cirno where a fairy of similar appearing in Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 13 where 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.
