Rumia is a youkai that can manipulate the darkness, but judging from her Embodiment of Scarlet Devil appearance, she is only powerful enough to make it seem like late evening. Apparently she is quite simple-minded, but isn't featured in enough conversations for details about her personality to be revealed.

Rumia's hair ribbon is actually an amulet. She can't touch it, so she can't take it off.

In the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she's attacked by the heroines for no reason (probably just as a general warmup), and has nothing to do with the main story.

Fun Facts

  • She is known for the memorial "First to use the Spell Card System (tm)" in the history of shooting games.
  • Her ability, "manipulation of darkness," sounds quite strong, yet she is only a poor stage 1 boss. It's kind of ZUN's joke.
  • It's broadly rumored among fans that the amulet-ribbon is some kind of "seal", and that taking it off will release her true power... But nobody knows the truth.

Youkai of the Dusk
Rumia

Ability: Manipulation of darkness


Stage 1 boss. A youkai.

She is of no importance to the story, and isn't up to anything in particular in her life. The ribbon tied to her hair is actually an amulet; she can't touch it even though there've been times when she wanted to take it off.

There is no evidence of her ability in the game, but in truth, places around her are always as dark as night.
