Reisen seems to, perhaps ironically given her insanity inducing powers, have one of the more stable and balanced personalities in Gensokyo. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View she worries about Tewi running off and seems more level headed than most other characters. Although she doesn't know what's causing the flower incident, she's decided to investigate by going wherever the flowers are blooming.
Fun Facts
- Reisen's right hand, for whatever reason, is almost always depicted to be making a gun shape. Many fans play off this and often make fanart with her hand like that in it, or her using her hand as an actual gun. Why she does this is still a mystery...
- Inaba is a nickname given to her by Kaguya (just like Tewi). Her real name, Reisen, is written in Katakana, but in order to fit in with people on Earth, the Kanji with the same pronounciation, 鈴仙, was used. The characters for Reisen literally mean something like "Bell wizard", and Udongein "House of plantain flowers.". Additionally, in Japanese "reisen" can mean "Cold War". (see also notes on Reisen's spellcards) while in Germany it means "travels" or "voyages" as well as "to travel". Another meaning for "rei-sen" is "Type-0", as in the Japanese Navy designation for the famous Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter plane. (see also Imperishable_Night:_Music)
- "Udonge", the short version of the nickname Eirin calls her by, translates to "plantain flower," whose buds look remotely like rabbit ears.
- Some fans call her "Zayaku" (座薬, meaning 'suppository'), because her bullets look like them.
- Reisen's Imperishable Night outfit, with a long-sleeved dark overshirt, tie and short skirt, is considerably more modern than most of the other characters' and resembles a private school uniform. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View, with her overshirt doffed, she looks more like an office intern.
- Reisen's rabbit ears, strangely, always has two accouterment-like buttons on them. It looks like the ears were linked to Reisen's head by buttons. Many fans made fun of this and said Reisen's rabbit ears were artificial.
- Based on what Reisen says to Mystia and what Lyrica says to Reisen in Phantasmagoria of Flower View it seems as if Reisen can also manipulate sound waves as well as light waves.

○5面ボス 狂気の月の兎 | |
|
Stage 5 Boss, Lunatic Moon Rabbit Species: Moon Rabbit A rabbit from the moon. She is currently living as Kaguya's pet. Her name was originally written レイセン (pronounced Reisen), but it was changed to 鈴仙 (also pronounced Reisen) to better blend into Earth's civilization. The other parts of her name are just nicknames. Eirin gave her her first nickname, "Udongein," and affectionately calls her "Udonge" most of the time. No one is certain why that nickname was given to her, especially since even Eirin doesn't call her by the full name Udongein. Moon people are hard to understand... "Inaba" was later bestowed upon her by Kaguya because... well, that's what she calls all rabbits. Whenever Kaguya says Inaba, she could be referring to Reisen, Tewi, or the scores of other rabbits living in Eientei. It doesn't seem as though she ever bothered to make a distinction between them. All rabbits probably look the same to her. Reisen is a fugitive from the moon, which is being invaded by Earth. More information about that is available in Kaguya's profile. | |

○狂気の月の兎 鈴仙・優曇華院・イナバ(れいせん・うどんげいん・イナバ) | |
|
Lunatic Moon Rabbit A rabbit from the moon. Her red eyes give her far greater power over insanity than Earth rabbits. Flowers are blooming all over Gensokyo so the rabbits of Eientei went into an uproar. This couldn't be left uninvestigated, so she went out to find out about it. While she's at it, since Tewi disappeared, she's also going to bring her back if she can. | |
