Daiyousei is a greater fairy who lives around the lake around the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Like other fairies, she is cheerful and mischievous, simple and emotional.

During the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil the heroine was attacked by Daiyousei while flying over the lake around the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Very little is known about her, even why she attacked the heroine, and she had no importance to the story.

Fun Facts

  • This character was not given an official name at the time Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was released. Fans nicknamed her "Daiyousei", meaning "Greater Fairy". ZUN later used this nickname in an interview, although he probably used it as a general term for all stronger-than-normal fairies. So the name Daiyousei is still not really official.
  • Like Koakuma and Momizi Inubashiri, there is no official art of Daiyousei and her appearance can only be deduced from her sprite.
  • In many fan-fictions, she is described as Cirno's elder (usually, they are not in a blood relation). In these fictions, she is timid and shy, but very kind, especially to Cirno, although she is still weaker than Cirno.
  • She is sometimes regarded as the elder or leader of all of the fairies living around the lake.
  • Another possible appearance of Daiyousei is found in Strange and Bright Nature Deity, where a fairy of similar appearance is playing hide and seek with Cirno.
  • She needs orange juice to survive the hot and brutal winters.

Official Profiles

In response to questions from fans, ZUN revealed some hints of her profile:

  • Ordinary fairies are weaker than humans. Greater fairies are mightier than other fairies.
    • (NOTE1: Cirno is said to be a very special exception in PoFV.)
    • (NOTE2: According to this, "Greater Fairy" seems to be a generic term for some mighty fairies, although it is usually regarded as a personal name of the midboss of EoSD stage 2.)
  • Like other fairies, she is cheerful and mischievous, simple and emotional.
  • She lives around the lake around Scarlet Devil Mansion.
  • She is one of normal-enemy class (not boss-class) characters. There are many such characters, and they are not given any special role in the story.
