She's one of the many, many youkai rabbits that lives at and guards Eientei, a mansion deep in a bamboo forest. Because Tewi is known to help lost people find their way and sometimes grants good fortune, she's one of the few youkai that's not harmful to humans at all (as long as you aren't trying to invade Eientei).

A very lighthearted youkai that's also known for sometimes lying, she even tries to scam Aya out of pocket change during Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

Fun Facts

  • It is said that ordinary animals who live a long time may develop profound magical abilities. Tewi is one of them.
  • Tewi probably means nothing, since it's in hiragana. The characters used here for Inaba mean something like "flag factor."
  • The 'wi' in Tewi is an obsolete sound dropped from the Japanese language in 1946... correctly her name should be pronounced and written "Tei" (as it is in TH09).
  • Tewi's spellcard "Ancient Duper" is likely to be based on a story from the Kojiki, The White Hare of Inaba

Stage 5 Midboss, Earthborn Rabbit
Tewi Inaba

Species: Youkai Rabbit
Abilities: Can bring fortune to those she wishes

After taking good care of her health and living for a long time, Tewi became something more than an ordinary rabbit. She leads the Earthborn rabbits living in Eientei. Her impetuous temperament makes her seem more like a fairy than a phantom.

Humans who lose their way in the bamboo forest around Eientei sometimes catch a glimpse of Tewi. Those who see her are able to find their way out without fail, so she is considered a guide of the forest.

It's a shame that they waste the fortune given to them by Tewi on such a small thing, but humans are too clueless to notice their mistake.
