{{{テーマ曲}}} |
During the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom, the three Prismriver sisters are preparing to play a concert for the flower viewing at Yuyuko's mansion. They attempt to stop the player from entering the Netherworld together, and the progression of the battle is affected by which sister the player decides to focus on attacking during their first spell card. The dialog they bounce back and forth between each other and the player is actually quite comical, and shows their very individual personalities. Lunasa is mature and mellow, Merlin is happy-go-lucky and clueless, and Lyrica is a sly smart-aleck.
In Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Lyrica, the youngest of the three, goes off on her own to collect material for her songs. She's not really interested in solving the flower incident and would rather focus on her performance, but unknown to her, she's not alone...
Fun Facts[]
- The surname "Prismriver" is sometimes written as "虹川"(nijikawa), which is regarded as the name meaning “prismriver”, although the fact is that it really means “rainbow river”.
- It may be coincidental, but Lunasa's name is similar to that of the J-Rock band "Luna Sea".
- Lunasa's spellcards, "Guarneri del Gesu," "Stradivarius," and "Pseudo Stradivarius" make references to some of the most famous violin makers of all time, Giuseppe Guarneri and Antonio Stradivari. Oddly enough, the Amati family of luthiers are left out, despite making a fair share of equally good instruments.
- Merlin has a bug in her programming in Perfect Cherry Blossom that sometimes causes her to behave improperly during the sisters' final spell card. As a result fans have portrayed her as being occasionally rebellious or even crazy.
- A mutation of a computer-programming meme on the Japanese message board 2ch called ぬるぽ or "Nurupo" (short for "Null Pointer Exception", which basically means "Disregard everything I just said") resulted in someone changing it to めるぽ or "Merupo". This almost immediately became a popular nickname for Merlin, although it could also be described as her alter ego.
- Merupo is depicted by replacing Merlin's head with a smiling Shift_JIS head with a squiggle of hair down one side of its face, like so: ξ・∀・). As far as Merupo's personality goes, think Merlin, only twice as stupid and twice as crazy (the only word Merupo seems to be able to say is her name).
- Merlin has a great tendency of being drawn with a larger chest in fanart, perhaps because of the remarks in PMiSS about her being the tallest and most eye catching, similar to Komachi
- Their spellcard background has an image of a score for Last Spring, from Two Elegiac Melodies by Edvard Grieg.
- Layla Prismriver, the youngest of the original four sisters, has never had any known official art. Her only mention seems to be in the Prismrivers' official profiles.
- Because these three sisters are created Poltergeists who were made by Layla Prismriver to have the appearance and personalities of her three older sisters from whom she had been separated, they are technically all the same age since they were presumably created at the same time. They only act out the roles of oldest, middle, and youngest sister based on whichever one they were made to resemble.
- It is known based on their official profiles and from comments by Sikieiki that none of the original four sisters are still alive today, though it is unknown how long ago the events were that spawned these three poltergeists occurred.

Perfect Cherry Blossom - キャラ設定.txt[]
|
○騒霊三姉妹 |
Three Poltergeist Sisters Stage 4 boss, the Phantom Ensemble. Noisiness times 3. They mainly have the ability to handle musical instruments and give musical performances without using their hands and feet—times 3. The Saigyouji family enlisted the Prismriver sisters to provide music at a convention, promising them a flower-viewing in return. The three of them are always summoned to banquets and such; their music stirs things up. They're like ghostly versions of publicity-generating cultural icons. This time, the Saigyouji family is holding an extravagant flower-viewing festival, so they would naturally be invited. |
ルナサは何をやっても優秀な優等生タイプ。何事も曲がったことが嫌 | |
Lunasa is an honour student type who excels at everything she does. She hates cheating, and confronts all challenges with fairness and great strength. Her dark personality makes her somewhat pessimistic. After all, her honesty makes her easy to deceive. She is most skilled with stringed instruments, especially violins. She usually prefers solo performances. |
メルランはちょっと変ったタイプ。魔法の力は最強だが使い道を誤る。 | |
Merlin is an erratic type. Her magical power is the strongest but she often slips up when using it. Her personality is overflowing with good cheer. When she picks up an interest in something, she obsesses over it like a maniac. She is most skilled with wind instruments. Trumpets in particular. |
リリカは狡猾な性格。普段は姉達にけしかけて自分から戦おうとしな | |
Lyrica has a sly personality. She usually spurs her older sisters into battle because she doesn't like to do her own fighting. Using minimal effort for maximum gain is the only thing she thinks about. She knows herself well and is smart. She doesn't act without first thinking 3 moves ahead. She is very skilled with all kinds of instruments, but usually works with either keyboards or percussion. |

3人の生まれは遥か昔に遡る。その昔、人間の貴族、プリズムリバー |
The three of them were born long ago. At that time, there was a human noble, Count Prismriver. The Count had four daughters, whom he cherished. However, due to an unfortunate accident, the four daughters were orphaned. Without any other relatives, each daughter went her own separate way. The fourth daughter, Layla, was unable to leave the mansion that held so many of her memories. Using her strongest power, she conjured poltergeists with the appearance of her older sisters, then vanished along with the mansion and the poltergeists. Time moved on, and the death of the four people from those old days came to pass; the mansion, now called the Poltergeist Mansion, remained in Gensokyo. The three poltergeist sisters continue their noisy lives in that mansion to this day. The musical performances given by those three, at various places of announcement, a fusion of casual rhythm and classical instruments, are loved by the inhabitants of the cheerful Netherworld. Yet, the performance itself provides no additional effect, and does not heal. |
