"This is Seiran.
I've made contact with a belligerent earthling.
Now proceeding with purification."
— Seiran (Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom Stage 1)
Seiran (清蘭 Seiran) is a moon rabbit who appears as the stage 1 boss in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom and a playable character in Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost.
General Information
Personality
She has problems holding a regular conversation, even with her Moon Rabbit comrades, implying that she's either shy or doesn't get much respect from her fellow moon rabbits. She was making mochi for them despite being on break [2] , which confirms the latter.
After staying on Earth for some years, Seiran became an Earth-loving Moon Rabbit. Seiran spends much of her scenario and win quotes in Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost praising Earth, and stating Earth is full of impurity and excitement. However, she has a dislike for the impurity of germs and especially the scent of death. She praises Hisami Yomotsu's hygiene wearing a mask but points out it needs to cover her mouth. [3] Seiran spends her story seeking a way to get her mass-produced lunar air freshener jewel back, and she struggles to handle the scent of death related characters and hell itself, but with the encouragement of Saki Kurokoma Seiran learned to briefly handle even the impurity of Hell itself and return home.
Seiran expresses negative opinions for both people on the Moon and being reminded of the Lunar Capital, getting depressed whenever she is reminded of it. She mentions in a dialogue with Zanmu Nippaku that she prefers how Hell Oni do things more energetically over Lunarians, and tells Yachie Kicchou that the Moon is full of crafty people like her. [3]
Abilities
- Firing bullets from other dimensions
Not much is known about the specifics of the abilities, other than to fire bullets from other dimensions. From what she can do, it implies that there's some form of teleportation going on.
Occupation
Seiran was a member of the "Eagle Ravi" Earth Recon Unit sent to "purify" the Earth and is part of the Lunarian Military Infiltrators. She's in charge of the Infiltration operations, one of the most dangerous jobs. Seiran doesn't get much respect, being treated as cannon fodder [2]. No reinforcements come to her aid and would've been slain if she blurted out the location of her base. [4] She doesn't get paid much despite the risks. After the events of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom she abandons the Moon and came to Gensokyo, now being a Dango salesgirl.
Possessions
Seiran possesses a hammer-shaped pounding mallet, which she uses to pound mochi as well as fire danmaku. It's unknown if she could also use it as a melee weapon. She also possesses a Moon Jewel capable of removing impurities such as dirt and bacteria. It is implied that this is a standard issue item for Moon Rabbits.

Character Design
Name
Seiran (清蘭) is spelled with the characters for sei (清) "clear, pure, clean", and ran (蘭) "orchid" a plant of the orchid family, bearing unusually-shaped flowers of beautiful colours; it could also means "elegant, graceful". Seiran is also the name for a Japanese attack floatplane used during World War 2, the Aichi M6A1. However, this name connection has been stated to be irrelevant by ZUN in Strange Creators of Outer World.
Design
Seiran has dark blue hair, tied in two bushy ponytails, with ears similar to Reisen Udongein Inaba's on the top of her head and an accessory in one of them, she has red eyes, a common trait in Moon Rabbits. Her dress is periwinkle with frills and an alternating star and crescent moon pattern across the bottom. She also carries a purple stained wooden mallet (presumably used for making Mochi). Although it's not visible in her portraits, she also has a tail,[6] which is visible in her Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost player sprites, where it is pink colored.
Appearances
- Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom
After meeting the protagonists, she decides to fight against them as her mission to purify the Earth, but when she is defeated she complains about being in the ground troops and lets the player continue to their base.
- Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost
Because of the opening of the marketplace, ownership of the ancient land was lost. This has caused greedy animal spirits to attempt to claim ownership of the land. Seiran decides to carry with herself a Moon Jewel to create a paradise on earth for the moon rabbits.
Due to the tumoult in the surface, she faces other characters like Aunn Komano or Marisa Kirisame in order to hide the jewel from everybody. However, she loses it while trying to hide it from Nazrin and her rods, so she resorts to Tsukasa Kudamaki to search for it. Before Tsukasa could end her explanation, Seiran goes to the Forest of Magic to get the one from Enoko Mitsugashira. Nevertheless, after closed inspection, she sees it's not the same, falls in Zanmu Nippaku’s trap and gets teleported to Hell where she encounters Saki Kurokoma, who encourages her to handle the environment of hell and offers to help her if she can show her she's strong.
After defeating Saki, she is seen in the ending talking with Tsukasa about how she finally found her jewel in the depths of the Genbu Ravine and revealing to Tsukasa's disappointment that the Mass produced lunar jewel is little more than an air freshener.
Literature
- Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia
Aya Shameimaru reports the competition between Seiran and Ringo of who sells more dango in the Human Village. Aya claims Ringo is winning but that she supports Seiran, although she explains that she does it because she always wants to support the weak part.
Relationships
- Ringo
Along with Ringo both are members of the "Eagle Ravi" Earth Recon Unit sent to "purify" the Earth. After the events of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom they both deserted the moon and became business rivals as Dango salesgirls.
