Mystia is a little night sparrow with a egocentric personality (or at least she sounds too arrogant or selfish), that enjoys unfusing confusion and terror into the hearts of humans using her ability: a song that creates confusion into those ones that hear her. That songs seems to attract monsters nearby too. She roams the road near the human village (that Keine is trying to protect) trying to find any humans to frighten. She is indeed feared by the locals as nobody could still see her (as she also has the ability to cause "night-blindness").

Fun Facts

Mystia's self confidence makes her the only enemy that attacks as midboss but does not run away after defeat. She stays in there believing in her victory.

The "Lorelei" part of her name comes from a German poem about the siren Lorelei, that also had a mesmerizing song.

She gets eaten by Yuyuko in the Ghost team's Imperishable Night story mode, making her one of the most popular "mock characters" as she's usually pictured as... food.

In fact, she's even mocked by ZUN himself in some of his comments.

Stage 2 Boss, Night Sparrow
Mystia Lorelei

Species: Night sparrow
Abilities: Can make people confused with her song.

She's the boss of Stage 2.
She can also make people develop night-blindness symptoms.

Humans call her the "Night Sparrow" but few have ever seen her appearance. This is because she only plays during nighttime, and humans get night-blindness around her anyway. If they ever saw what she actually looks like, they probably would have never called her a Sparrow.

Her song can cloud a person's judgement, and humans who walk into the night in this condition inevitably disappear without a trace. This confusion ability is the main reason why people lose their way in night so easily.

She can also make people night-blind, in order to hide better within the darkness.
