Parsee is a bridge princess, a youkai that serves as the guardian of a particular bridge - in this case, the "bridge" to the underground world. Years of jealousy for the travelers crossing over that bridge have given her the ability to control jealousy. She tries to warn away a traveler on her way underground, but when that fails, her jealousy overcomes her and she attacks (unsuccessfully).

Fun Facts

• According to ZUN in an interview in Cara☆mel released with CiLR7, the term 波斯人 (hashihito) refers to Persians, and he thought it would be interesting to try to make a Persian hashihime in old-style clothes...even if she doesn't really look like a hashihime.
• The name of Parsee's boss theme, "Green-eyed Jealousy", as well as her midboss spell card, "Green-eyed Monster", are both terms used in Shakespeare's works to poetically describe jealousy.
• Because of her jealous nature, Parsee has joined Alice as a fanon-designated tsundere.
• Due to her picture in Subterranean Animism, she is often depicted having elfin-like ears. Zun said in the interview of キャラ☆メル, that her looking is designed to be suited to a little oriental, or foreign, image.

Stage 2 boss The Jealousy Beneath the Earth's Crust Parsee Mizuhashi Species: Bridge Princess Ability: Power to manipulate jealousy Once, she was the protector, or guardian spirit, of the pit linking the underworld with the overworld. She watched over people to make sure that they could get to the underworld and back to the overworld safely. However, as she is extremely jealous, she couldn't stand the people who looked like they were having fun going to and fro. Whenever she saw someone like that, she would hinder their travel somehow. Jealousy only begets further jealousy, so as she went mad from her own jealousy, she became able to fan the flames of jealousy in the hearts of others.
