A mysterious girl who works in a place that normal humans don't dare approach. |

Furthermore, she is constantly a youkai supporter, and is cold-hearted towards human villagers visiting the Scarlet Devil Mansion. |

This suggests that she might not be a human from Gensokyo, but rather one from the outside world or a totally different world. |

She does come to the village to shop though, carrying a refined atmosphere around herself. There, she is never seen showing hostility towards other humans (*1). |

She has the ability to manipulate time. |

To manipulate time is an ability to stop the flow of time and let only oneself move, to slow time and let oneself superfast, or speed the flow of time and change apple juice to apple cider. |

Effectively, you can say there is no reversing time. |

In addition, her ability can be used to manipulate space, as well. |

Slowing down time also means to contract space, and speeding up means to expand it. |

She uses that extreme ability well to effectively do tasks such as cleaning, laundry and cooking. |

Besides that ability, she is skilled in knife throwing and conjuration. |

It's said she can pierce an apple on the head of a fairy maid 20 ken far above her in the sky. |

The Scarlet Devil Mansion's policy regarding maids is quantity over quality, and large numbers of fairy maids are used to somehow keep it in one piece. |

The fairy maids are mostly useless. |

About the only thing worth saying about these maids is that they basically have no pay or vacation, but they receive food and tea, and can generally consider themselves free beings. |

They are also free to leave and regain their posts, as well. |

The fairy maids' lives are quite comfortable, and if they can come to enjoy their masters' occasional impossible requests, almost none choose to run away. |

In contrast, the chief maid's job is tough. |

As her duties include cleaning the labyrinthine Scarlet Devil Mansion, taking care of its selfish master, keeping track of the useless maids, going out to buy supplies in the human village, and making pointlessly gorgeous meals, she has no time to rest. |
|

Since the maids at the Scarlet Devil Mansion receive no break time, they have no private life; thus, her character is not well known. |
|

It is unknown why she works in the Scarlet Devil Mansion where demons dwell, and why the vampires trust her. |

It is fairly obvious that she is not being forced to work by the vampires. |

She even seems to possess a certain degree of power in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and can sometimes give orders to the vampires. |

It's still unknown whether the vampires sought out the services of her inhumanly extraordinary powers, or whether she herself asked for the position of head maid at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. |
|

In addition, it is said that the name she bears now was given to her by the vampires, and is not her true name. |

According to one theory, she was a vampire hunter from the outside world or another world (*4), and followed the vampires into the Scarlet Devil Mansion to try to slay them, but was defeated instead. |

The reasoning behind this theory is that the silver knives she uses are for defeating vampires, and also because of the abilities the vampires possess. |
|
ๅฝผๅฅณใฏๅธ่ก้ฌผใ้ๆฒปใใ็บใซไบบ้้ขใใฆไฟฎ่กใใฆใใใ |
She was training to slay vampires in a remote location. |

She normally would have taken down small demons for training, and had never tried her hands on a vampire. |

However, she had great confidence in her powers, and thought she would be able to defeat a vampire in decline of power easily herself, and, setting out on a journey to slay vampires. |

Then for searching her, she reached the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but the vampire there who looked so young was surprisingly strong, and she was easily defeated instead. |

The vampire, taking pity on her for her level of ability, spared her, and gave her a new name, which also gave her a completely opposite fate (*5). |

She became the vampires' servant at once, and since she had strong abilities, she was able to reach the position of chief maid and become useful to the vampires. |

Later, the Scarlet Devil Mansion relocated to within Gensokyo, but the strange environment made her uncomfortable (*6), so at first she resisted against the vampires and the humans of Gensokyo. |

However, upon seeing the vampire who she could not defeat easily beaten by a human in Gensokyo, and that afterwards the vampire and human got along well as if nothing had ever happened, she slowly began to open herself towards those around her. |

Nowadays, it seems that something has broken through her facade, and while she still allies herself with the vampires, she can deal with humans in a positive manner as well. |

However, it's possible that the vampire who manipulates fate planned for it all to be this way from the beginning. |
|

What do you think of that theory? |

Also there are many theories such as ones suggesting she is actually a Homunculus, a zombie or simply just an eccentric, but the most widely believed theory is the vampire hunter theory detailed above. |

She claims to be in her late teens, but this is unlikely judging by her refined manner and the level of her abilities. Rather, she seems to be a human who has been living for hundreds of years (*7). |
