釣瓶落とし、という意味不明な妖怪です。

The Tsurube-otoshi​ is an ambiguous youkai.

絵としては釣瓶に入っている子供というシンプルなもので、どういう格好をしているのか良く判りませんね。

It's a simple image of a child in a well bucket, but even that's difficult to get a grasp of in terms of appearance.

壺に入ったおっさんがハンマー一つで山を登るゲームありましたよね。あれに近い物を感じます。

There was a game where a middle-aged man in a pot climbed a mountain with nothing but a single hammer. I feel that her image may be close to that.

「地霊殿」で最初に出てくることもあって旧地獄妖怪の中ではのほほんとしてるイメージもあったのですが「ダブルスポイラー」の物騒な二つ名や「求聞口授」の記事で急に人骨を投げつけて来たりするロックな姿勢で正統派妖怪と前述のイメージが合流し、自分の中では極めてキャラが立った怖可愛いキスメちゃんです。

To me, Kisume had always had the image of being one of the more nonchalant of the Former Hell youkai, partially because of her debuting in Subterranean Animism. But then there's her disturbing title in "Double Spoiler", and her rocky attitude in her "Symposium of Post-mysticism" article, where she's shown throwing around human bones without warning. It's the merging of her image as a legitimate youkai and the aforementioned nonchalant image that, in my opinion, gives Kisume an exceedingly "scary-cute" persona.

Personality
Kisume is a youkai who first appeared as the stage 1 midboss of "Subterranean Animism". She appeared in a well bucket, and she may or may not use spell cards depending on the difficulty level, but she does not have any dialogue. After that, she appeared in "Double Spoiler", showing off her Spoiler spellcards.

「地霊殿」おまけテキストでは「鬼火を落とす程度の能力」と代表的な能力の説明があるが、書籍「東方求聞口授」(一迅社)巻末の作者インタビューでは「凶暴なイメージ」「問答無用で首を刈る」「イヤなキャラ」という恐ろしい話が掲載されている。

In the omake for Subterranean Animism, it's explained that her ability is to "drop will-o-the-wisps", but in an interview with the author at the end of "Symposium of Post-mysticism", there are scary stories where she carried a "ferocious impression", she "cut off peoples' heads without question", and is overall considered an "unpleasant character".
