| "Oh, a mermaid? Is that all? You're just a small fry." |
| "It's been ages since anyone took us seriously. It's about time for us youkai to flourish!" |
| — Reimu Hakurei and Wakasagihime (Double Dealing Character Stage 1) |
Wakasagihime (わかさぎ姫, Wakasagihime) is a mermaid who lives in the Misty Lake and appears as the stage 1 boss in Double Dealing Character.
Wakasagihime is a normally quiet, peaceful youkai mermaid who lives in the Misty Lake, singing songs and picking up stones. However, thanks to the Miracle Mallet's power, she became ferocious; after the incident was resolved, she went back to being her normal self.

In her profile, she's stated to be quite quiet and very composed.
Perhaps as a direct result of being a mermaid, she benefits from increased power while underwater. Apparently she either keeps a low profile or everyone nearby just ignores her, as all playable characters in Double Dealing Character are quite surprised to see her there. Kagerou Imaizumi is surprised to hear of her attacking people, claiming that she is usually so timid that she wouldn't even kill a bug. Along with Kagerou, she is one of the few known members of the grassroots youkai network.
She seems to get stronger when submerged in water, although it's boosts appears to be nominal as she was soundly defeated by Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya without much effort.
Wakasagihime (わかさぎ姫) is derived from wakasagi (ワカサギ), a fish native to northern Japan. Wakasa (わかさ) in Wakasagihime may also be a reference to Wakasa (若狭), the birthplace of a woman from the Japanese ningyo (mermaid) tale Yao Bikuni. The suffix hime (姫) means "princess" and was generally given to girls of noble status. As such, her name can be translated as "Princess Wakasagi", though she is not a literal princess.
Wakasagihime has dark blue hair and eyes, as well as small fins in the place of ears. She wears a frilly green leaf-patterned kimono which fades to teal at the bottom. In the place of legs, she has a blue-grey fish tail ending in two large fins.
Regardless of who the player is using, Wakasagihime, though normally quiet, attacks her. Though she announces the new reign of youkai, she is defeated handily.
Presumably, from hearing or seeing a wanted sign about the mischief-making amanojaku Seija Kijin, Wakasagihime appears to be one of the many youkai that tries to capture her. She uses spell cards that are considered impossible to dodge.
In 100th Black Market, Wakasagihime appears as the one of the 2nd market bosses. Her ability card, a few small fishes, can be acquired.
Wakasagihime appears in the second article about Shinmyoumaru Sukuna, supposedly after both won a white-water rafting championship in the Doubles division. However, she complains about not being any different from doing it alone.
Reimu Hakurei writes a fortune slip about Waksagihime as a way of cleaning up in the aftermath of an incident.
Wakasagihime knows Kagerou Imaizumi thanks to the Grassroots Youkai Network, where she seems to know Wakasagihime's general personality. Kagerou stated that she tried to eat her by mistake at one time.[1]
