Doremy first appeared as the Stage 3 Boss and then as the Extra stage midboss in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. She later appears as a playable character in [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]. | |||
===Abilities=== | |||
Doremy's ability is to eat and create dreams. Eating dreams is much like just taking dreams, or stopping them, and possibly includes removing said dreams from memory completely. She is also able to create or craft dreams, which can be done by either moving the character from one dream to another or simply just forming a new dream for the character. She can also enter dreams herself. As someone who manages the dream world, she has a wide knowledge of dreams and can observe anyone's dream inside the dream world. As such, she can also gain knowledge of a character through their dreams alone. She is regarded by [[Reisen_Udongein_Inaba|Reisen]] as the most dangerous youkai in the dream world. | |||
Doremy is able to freely go between multiple worlds including [[Gensokyo]], the [[Moon]] and [[Lunar Capital]], as well as the [[Outside World]]. She also has the ability to clone herself and keep track of experiences and knowledge from each clone. In [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]], she also showed that she could possess certain characters without the use of the perfect possession incident. | |||
Although Doremy introduces herself as the "Ruler of Dreams" to a lot of characters, ZUN has commented that while it sounds amazing, it doesn't really mean much since even if someone reaches the top in a dream, it's still just a dream.<ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Antinomy of Common Flowers Interview with ZUN x Iruka Unabara|Strange Creators of Outer World: Antinomy of Common Flowers Interview with ZUN and Iruka Unabara]] - '''ZUN:''' Being the ruler of dreams sounds amazing, but it's really not all that much. Even if you work super hard to reach the top in a dream, it's still just a dream. It's not a big deal, and you don't picture baku as particularly strong youkai anyway. They just can't escape the image of the real animal. And, well, Doremy's a baku.</ref> | |||

Additional Information
- The design of her outfit may be a reference to the body of the Malayan (Asian) tapir, which shares the name baku with the youkai in folklore. The Malayan tapir has a black upper body, white lower body, and trunk, which might be represented in Doremy's dichromatic dress and long hat, respectively.
- One of Doremy's color palettes in Antimony of Common Flowers is a reference to Clownpiece. Another of her palettes appear to reference Sagume Kishin.

Stage 3 Boss: Ruler of Dreams Doremy Sweet Species: Baku A youkai who's often dreaming. She lives in the world of dreams. The dreams of all living creatures are, in fact, connected at the deepest levels. She can erase, create and switch out those very dreams. If one uses the dream world skillfully, they can go anywhere and become anything at all. Under Sagume's orders, she recreated the Lunar Capital within a dream. However, it seems that this plan was bothersome to her, and she didn't feel like playing along. It was then that a visitor to the Dream World arrived. The People of the Moon hate humans' impurity. She sent the human off to the true Lunar Capital, just as they desired. |
