These three fairies love playing pranks on people and are known for their teamwork, even if it is sometimes haphazard. Because they each possess a different power, they are able to combine their talents to do what they could not achieve on their own. However, they often fail regardless. Star Sapphire is smart enough to let the other two take the fall for their pranks though while she escapes.
Fun Facts
- Each of them relies on a different element, symbolized by their names, to power their abilities. Thus Sunny Milk gets weaker when the sun doesn't show in the sky, while the moon powers Luna Child. However, Star Sapphire's power isn't affected by weather or daytime. Their healing abilities are also increased by exposure to their respective elements.
- Apparently almost every time they attempt mischief, Star Sapphire manages to escape from punishment while the other two are caught.
- The most common type of mischief they do is cause people to become lost in the forest, though they also enjoy eavesdropping on others for clues for treasure hunting.
- The three of them originally lived in a tree house within Forest of Magic. According to the story, the location of the house was quite close to where Alice Margatroid and Marisa Kirisame live, making them neighbours despite the fact that they are oblivious to Alice's existence in the beginning of the story. At the end of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, however, they move to live behind the Hakurei shrine.
- They are the few customers who actually used the services of Marisa's Kirisame Magic Shop, although they often play mischief on her.
- The three of them like to play pranks on Reimu Hakurei, but are also afraid of her as she can easily banish them with little effort.
- They make fast friends with Cirno, who calls them "Comrades." Cirno is amazed with their hide and seek ability, while they are amazed at Cirno's power with ice.
- ZUN stated that the reason why he chose them as main characters is because the three of them have little fighting ability, yet are much more outgoing than Rinnosuke, making them ideal characters for introducing various aspects of Gensokyo's daily life that Rinnosuke does not participate in.
Book Synopsis
Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red
- Main article: Article and Interview: Fairies
Aya goes to investigate the fairies responsible for a reverse rainbow. She discovers it is caused by Sunny Milk gathering sunlight to heal herself after she and Luna Child were struck by lightning during the previous day's storm. Although Sunny seems to have recovered, Luna is still badly injured.
Aya returns for a follow-up interview, where she finds Luna to have fully recovered. She learns the reason the fairies had flown in the storm was to continue their mischief. Star Sapphire shifts the blame for Luna's injuries to Sunny, and Aya gets increasingly ignored as the three fairies get ready to play a prank on the shrine maiden.

Sunny Milk
- Runs away at the first sign of trouble.
- Her favorite prank is to cause humans to lose their way.
- Rain will give away Sunny's illusion.
- She has a weakness for delicious food.
Luna Child
- Her ability to mute sound is not very strong by itself, so she must work in concert with Sunny Milk.
- Of the three, Luna Child is the least intelligent and the most independent.
- Her most common mischief is stealing. She has a penchant for stealing coffee beans, which is unusual for a fairy.
- Due to her lack of common sense, she will always use her ability during pranks, despite the fact that it gives her away.
Star Sapphire
- Due to the nature of her ability, approaching her is very difficult.
- That said, her ability has two weaknesses. She cannot detect unmoving things and she cannot distinguish between objects of similar size.
- She makes it a point to avoid conflict to herself, so she will usually not act on her own.
- May possess the most common sense of the trio.
