Mystia is a little night sparrow with an egocentric personality—at least she sounds arrogant—that enjoys infusing confusion and terror into the hearts of humans using her ability: a song that creates confusion in those who hear her. Her song seems to attract nearby monsters as well.
She roams a road near a human village (that Keine is trying to protect) in search of humans to frighten. She is indeed feared by the locals as people around her become blinded by darkness.
Fun Facts
Mystia's self-confidence makes her the only enemy that attacks as a midboss but does not run away when defeated. She immediately launches into another attack, firmly believing that she will win.
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 of the Ghost team in Imperishable Night's 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.

○2面ボス 夜雀の怪 ミスティア・ローレライ Mystia Lorelei 種族:夜雀 能力:歌で人を狂わす程度の能力 二面ボス。 人を鳥目にする事も出来る。 人間は彼女を夜雀と呼ぶが、あまり姿かたちを見る事は無い。何故な ら夜しか出ない上に、人間は何も見えなくなるからである。その姿を 見てしまえば、雀とは呼ばなかったかもしれない。 彼女の歌声は人間の判断を鈍らせ、暗闇に誘い込まれた人間はそのま ま消えてしまう。夜、道に迷う原因の一つでもある。 また、人間を鳥目(暗いところでは視力が極端に落ちる病)にして、 自分の姿を隠す事もある。
Stage 2 Boss, Night Sparrow
Mystia Lorelei
Species: Night sparrow
Abilities: Can confuse people with her song.
Mystia is the boss of Stage 2.
In addition to her song of confusion, she can make people night-blind.
Humans call her the Night Sparrow, but few have ever seen her appearance. This is because she only plays during nighttime, and humans around her become blinded by darkness anyway. Had they seen what she actually looks like, they probably wouldn't have called her a sparrow.
Her song can cloud a person's judgement; humans who walk into the night in that condition inevitably disappear without a trace. This confusion ability is the main reason people lose their way at night so easily.
She can also make people night-blind in order to hide better within the darkness.
