Medicine Melancholy is a doll youkai that lives on Nameless Hill surrounded by poisonous suzuran (lily of the valley) flowers. In Medicine's first appearance, Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she attacks the player with suzuran's poison for no apparent reason other than because they happened through her field. Because some of her attacks create clouds of poison in the player's side of the field which slow the player's movements and make dodging difficult she can be a very troublesome opponent to those that don't take care while near poison. Though supposedly not especially powerful or experienced among youkai, the fact that the right poison can affect even very strong people (or large numbers of people at once) makes her someone best avoided.
Fun Facts
- It's also assumed that "the tiny doll" might be her, who's controlling the human shape beside her...the truth is yet to be seen.
- Her name is derived from A Medicine For Melancholy by Ray Bradbury.
- Although she is labeled as a youkai, Medicine's true nature may be that of a tsukumogami, as described in Perfect Memento: Eight Million Gods.

Little Sweet Poison
Medicine Melancholy Species: Doll Ability: Manipulation of poison A doll thrown away into a lily 1000 -of-the-valley field; over the long years she became a youkai. As only a few years have passed since then, she is a novice youkai. Her ability is manipulating poison. Certain kinds of ingredients, taken from a plant, can drive an animal mad. She learned that through experience, and established a method of manipulating humans as she pleases. In addition, as she is not a living being, poison is harmless against her. Dolls are usually manipulated by humans. Because of this, she wishes for doll emancipation, but there aren't many dolls who agree with her. To begin with, other dolls don't move on their own... The lilies-of-the-valley, which weren't expected to bloom, have begun blooming all at once this year. In addition to that, even autumn flowers which weren't supposed to bloom are blooming too. She learned that there are many powers she has never seen in Gensokyo. |
