Cirno is an ice fairy. While she is described as a weak boss in the Touhou series, if we consider the power of average fairies - who appear often as as regular enemies - we can certainly say she is exceptionally strong for her kind. Her personality is childish, as you might expect from her appearance, and she is sometimes considered stupid.

During the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she attacked the player, who was just passing by, out of instinctive aggression. She was helplessly shot down.

In Perfect Cherry Blossom, she returned to take revenge for her previous fight, but was only a mid-boss and easily defeated like one...

In Phantasmagoria of Flower View Cirno aimlessly wanders about, apparently unconcerned by the flower incident for any reason other than the flowers being something else for her to freeze and play with. Through her dialog her true childish nature is revealed, leaving no doubt that she really isn't smart at all. She really wasn't meaning to do anything but play games.

Fun Facts

How Cirno Became a ⑨

  • Cirno is known for her childishness (read: stupidity), so the term "Cirno" is often used instead of "baka" as a pun in the Japanese Touhou community. Apparently, even ZUN himself wasn't an exception; in the manual for Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she is labeled as "9. Stupid" in an explanation of the game screen's layout...
  • Cirno's favorite hobby is freezing a frog instantly, then watching them revive as they thaw in the water. She tends to fail one out of every 3 attempts, however, and the poor amphibian shatters to pieces.
  • In other fan works, she is shown with Letty Whiterock and is considered as a close friend or mentor, such as in the Advent Cirno series.

Stage 2 boss. A girl of snow.

Her intellect is not very developed. She's just a child. To Reimu and Marisa, she's nothing more than a plain idiot.

She likes playing tricks and often toys with frogs. She freezes them instantly, then watches them revive as they thaw in the water. She tends to fail one out of every 3 attempts, however, and the poor amphibian shatters to pieces.

  一面の中ボス、寒いところ大好きな氷の妖怪。

  主に冷気を操る程度の能力を持つ


  特に目的があって霊夢たちを攻撃しているわけではなく、ただそこに

  居たから攻撃しただけである。


  夏でも冬でもチルノから冷気を出しているため、チルノの周りは寒い。

  当然春でも寒い。秋でも。

Youkai of the Ice

Cirno

Stage 1 midboss, a youkai of ice that likes cold places.

Her main ability is the manifestation and manipulation of cold.

She didn't have any specific reason for attacking Reimu and company, so she attacked them just for being there.

Cirno radiates chilling air from herself, so the air around her is always cold. Even in spring. And Autumn as well.

 ○氷の小さな妖精 チルノ

  悪戯好きな妖精。冷気を操る程度の能力を持つ。

  自分の力量を考えないで悪戯をしかけその都度痛い目に遭う。

  妖精全般に言えることだが、痛い目に遭っても何にも反省せず、次か

  ら次へと悪戯を仕掛けるのである。

  今回の異変では妖精達が大騒ぎしているので、彼女も多分に漏れず

Small Ice Fairy, Cirno

A fairy who likes pranks. She has the ability to manipulate cold. Without thinking of her own strength, she sets up pranks and ends up having a painful experience every time. That can be said of most fairies, but without reflecting on her past painful experiences at all Cirno sets up pranks one after another. The disaster this time has all of the fairies in an uproar, so she'll probably show up too.

Small Ice Fairy, Cirno

Species: Fairy

Ability: Manipulation of Cold

An ice fairy who usually stays at the lake, which is like her headquarters. She's basically just a fairy, so she's an idiot who loves pranks.

Since the flowers are blooming so much, lots of people are coming to the lake; this leads to the fairies being even more troublesome than usual, so she decided to join them and be a bother as well.

Main article: Article and Interview: Cirno

Cirno's hobby of freezing amphibians goes too far when she encounters a giant toad out for revenge (also see Perfect Memento: Giant Toad's Pond.) She is swallowed whole, but manages to escape when she freezes the giant toad's insides. In a statement to the newspaper, she claims that she doesn't freeze frogs for fun, but for "ice training"; Aya doesn't buy it.

The interview consists mostly of Cirno complaining about the contemptuous tone of the article.
