Nazrin is a skilled dowser and the leader of a great number of mice. She was asked by Shou to look after the flying treasures. Getting a treasure reading, she descends from the flying ship, encounters the heroine, and is either provoked or forced to fight her. Later on, she encounters the heroine again in order to get the treasure. In fact, she is Shou's underling in trying to revive Hijiri. Although she fails in defeating the heroine, she is actually testing the pagoda before giving it to her master.

Fun Facts

  • The bent rods she holds, which have the cardinal compass directions molded at their ends, work as a metal detector.
  • As she is a Mouse Youkai, fans believe she will be chased after by Chen and/or Orin.
  • Like Reisen and Tewi, she is a leader of her species.
  • The gem that she has on her chest is a pendulum used for dowsing (like Lyserg's in Shaman King).
  • Nazrin is an Azerbaijani name meaning "wild rose"; however, ZUN may also have intended it to be a pun on 鼠 (nezumi), meaning "mouse". Some fans, knowingly or not, misspell her name as Nezrin or Nezumin.
  • Some fans compare the prisms of her last spell card with Ramiel from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
  • According to the game transcript (namely Reimu-A and Marisa-B), Nazrin is the only stage 1 boss in a Windows game to escape rather than actually be defeated by the heroine.
  • Also, she is the only stage 1 boss that actually has something to do with the plot as opposed to "a pointless encounter with a pointless person", as Marisa had put it.
  • Also, in her second appearance in Sanae-B's scenario, she stated she got the pagoda from a second-rate store, which many fans believe to be Kourindou.
  • She is also the only Touhou Windows series level 1 boss who attacks the heroines out of necessity rather than aggression (like Rumia or Letty) or irritation (like Yamame or Minoriko).
  • She was featured on the cover of Undefined Fantastic Object demo CD.
  • Some fans call her the Chen of Touhou 12, due to her coming back as a stronger midboss to another, more powerful animal youkai.
  • Her Hard-Lunatic mid-boss spell card looks almost exactly like Sara's last spell. (Also with Rumia, coincidence?)
  • It is possible that she was based on the silver mouse (or mongoose) that Bishamonten holds in his left hand, who guards his treasure pagoda.
  • As "mouse" is the equivalent of "mole" in Japanese slang, it may be more than a coincidence that she is monitoring Shou's actions.
  • As she's the only member of Murasa's crew who doesn't have any specific reason for being devoted to Byakuren, fanon often portrays her as disliking, or even despising, her. The most common reason is the thought that Shou likes Byakuren more than her, which leads to a jealous Nazrin considering her a nemesis of some sort.
  • In World of Warcraft, a quest called "A Tiny Clever Commander" involves killing "Commander" Nazrim

Ability: power to find lost objects

A natural-born dowser. They say she controls a great number of field mice to find what she's looking for. However, if it's food, the mice will eat it all up before they can get it to her.
She is cunning and will flee from a fight as soon as she sees an enemy stronger than herself. It seems she was ordered to look for something by somebody, but what could it be...

She went to and fro looking for the two things Shou entrusted her to find.
One was the fragments of Tobikura that were being called the flying treasure.
The other was the jeweled pagoda of Bishamonten.

She's finally found the jeweled pagoda.
Actually, she kept it a secret from Murasa that she was looking for it.
Shou probably didn't tell anyone but her own underlings she'd lost something so important.
