Cirno
Cirno (チルノ Chiruno) is an ice fairy who typically resides in an igloo near Misty Lake. She is known for playing pranks that involve freezing objects or toads, all while maintaining a belief that she is stronger than everyone else. Cirno first appeared as the Stage 2 boss in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and has since reappeared as a playable character in multiple games beginning with Phantasmagoria of Flower View. She serves as the main protagonist of Great Fairy Wars and is one of several protagonists in both Touhou Hisōtensoku and Hidden Star in Four Seasons.

Background
Name Meaning
Her name is known as Cirno or Chiruno (チルノ), though its origin remains uncertain. It likely derives from the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "chill"—chiru (チル). This possible origin is supported by her name appearing as "Chilno" in Eastern and Little Nature Deity. Another possibility is that Cirno was named after a character from the Sarai manga series by Shibata Masahiro. The earliest known official romanization of チルノ appears in Perfect Cherry Blossom, where her midboss name is displayed as "Cirno" in the top left corner of the screen.
Appearance
General Description: Cirno is an ice fairy with aqua-colored eyes and hair. She has icicle-shaped wings on her back. According to ZUN, she is one of the easiest character designs he has done.
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil / Perfect Cherry Blossom / Double Dealing Character:
- Facial Features: Aqua-colored eyes and hair. A blue ribbon is worn in her hair.
- Clothing/Outfit: A light pink blouse with a blue jumper dress. White socks.
- Physical Traits: Icicle-shaped wings.
Phantasmagoria of Flower View / Touhou Hisoutensoku Official Art:
- Facial Features: A green ribbon replaces the blue one. Her sprite in Phantasmagoria of Flower View retains the blue ribbon.
Great Fairy Wars:
- Facial Features: Blue ribbon returns. Larger eyebrows due to being drawn by Makoto Hirasaka.
- Clothing/Outfit: White blouse instead of light pink.
Phantasmagoria of Flower View Alternative Outfit:
- Facial Features: A darker green ribbon.
- Clothing/Outfit: Light purple blouse with a purple dress.
Hidden Star in Four Seasons:
- Facial Features: Tanned skin. A sunflower ribbon is worn around her neck. This design references "Tanned Sakura" from Marvel vs. Capcom, itself a reference to Evil Ryu. The sunflower on her chest visually references Evil Ryu's chest wound.
- Physical Traits: A flowery vine resembling Japanese Morning Glory (Ipomoea nil) is wrapped around her body.
Perfect Cherry Blossom Trial+ Version:
- Facial Features: A white sash bow appears around her waist in her portrait only; her boss sprites lack this detail. This accessory has never appeared in any subsequent games or print works.
Special Features: Cirno's ribbon color alternates between blue and green across different games and artworks. Her wing design remains consistently icicle-shaped throughout most appearances.
Alternate Forms/Disguises: Her tanned appearance in Hidden Star in Four Seasons represents a distinct seasonal variation where she is much stronger.
Personality
- Childish and Confident: Cirno is childish and confident, with a superiority complex. She proclaims herself "the strongest" on multiple occasions.
- Prone to Foolish Behavior: Cirno's superiority complex leads her to say and do things considered idiotic. She ignored Okina's warning that borrowed power might be too much for her body, asserting the power was entirely her own. When facing Okina while clearly outmatched, she insisted Okina was bluffing.
- Has Some Intelligence: Cirno can read and count, showing knowledge of rounding and fractions. She recognized she was endangered in her battle against Yuuka. She reflected on her own mortality and the prospect of Hell when warned by Eiki that eternity does not truly exist for fairies.
- Enjoys Freezing Frogs: Cirno enjoys freezing frogs and watching them revive while thawing. About one in three attempts fails, resulting in the frog shattering.
Goals
- Prove she is the strongest (Ongoing).
Relationships
Three Fairies of Light
Cirno shares a complex dynamic with Sunny Milk, Luna Child, and Star Sapphire, serving as both friend and rival. The fairies have joined forces to collaborate on pranks since their first meeting, but also declared a "fairy war" against the ice fairy in Great Fairy Wars.
Eternity Larva
Eternity and Cirno are implied to have known each other prior to the events of Hidden Star in Four Seasons. Eternity notices Cirno's tan before the two fight to determine who the summer belongs to. In Cirno's ending, Eternity is also the fairy she recounts her adventures to.
Daiyousei
Daiyousei first appears alongside Cirno in Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 13, where the two are playing hide and seek together. However, after Cirno meets and talks with the Three Fairies of Light, she appears to completely forget about Daiyousei's presence. Later, in Great Fairy Wars, Daiyousei is seen attacking Cirno.
Despite their recurring association through multiple cameos in official manga, series creator ZUN has stated that he never thought about what their relationship truly is.
Letty Whiterock
Little is known about Cirno's relationship with Letty Whiterock. Cirno appears to dislike being grouped together with her, as she explains her own superiority when interviewed by Aya Shameimaru in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.
Reimu Hakurei
Reimu is one of Cirno's targets for pranks, as seen in Oriental Sacred Place and Great Fairy Wars. Cirno later assisted the Three Fairies of Light in supporting the Hakurei Shrine against the Myouren Temple, alongside other youkai such as Rumia, Mystia Lorelei, and Wriggle Nightbug.
Giant Toad
The Giant Toad is a toad that once ate Cirno because she was freezing all the other toads.

It's noted that one cannot defeat spirits or devilish powers without a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb[134]. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities[135])

Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic[143]. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension[144].

- Probability Manipulation (Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic[160].

- Cold Manipulation (Cirno's ability is to manipulate the cold itself[191], radiating a chilling air from herself whether it be summer or winter, it is always cold around her[3]. It's noted in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense that Cirno's existence lowers the temperature drastically even in summer, and that she emits cold air constantly, so her vicinity is always chilly[192], and that anything she touches freezes instantly[193]. Cirno naturally existing can cause significant drops in temperature, such as falling into a nuclear reactor core[194]. Her perfect freeze allows her to freeze all attacks on screen[195], allowing her to even freeze attacks she cannot normally[196]. With Freeze Touch Me, Cirno lowers her own body temperature, freezing the air around her[197]. With Frozen Technique, shoots out a wave of cold at a short distance, and freezes the enemy[198]. With Freeze Sign "freeze Atmosphere", Cirno attacks with frozen particles created from lowering the temperature[199])

- Weapon Creation (With Icicle Sword, creates a weapon from ice that pierces the enemy[214]. With Ice Sign "Sword Freezer, creates an icicle sword and thrusts towards the enemy[215])
- Absolute Zero (As Cirno's ability is removing heat from an object to freeze it, she can freeze bullets of pure energy, meaning she has removed all heat from the object[216], she has also shown to be able to do this with her ice barrier[217], to completely freeze energy attacks in place[218]. Cirno can utilize one of her techniques called "Freeze Sign 'Minus K'", where an unprecedented chill is held from ice clumps which cause an immedieate explosion the minute it comes into contact with outside air due to the sheer difference in termperature[219]. With Freeze Sign "Perfect Freeze", shoots out snowballs on all sides, they freeze in mid air and only move again after a time delay[220]).

- Fungus Manipulation (Naturally lives in the Forest of Magic[231], where it's noted that the forest's environment is extremely ill-suited to human life, with th espores of monster mushrooms dancing about in the air, even breathing there would be hazardous to the health of a normal human, having "noxious miasma"[230])
- Ice Manipulation (Cirno can completely freeze herself in ice and still attack while in this state[213])
- Smoke Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, & Poison Manipulation (Cirno was around the Scarlet Devil Mansion during the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil[232] where a massive mist spawned from the mansion[233], where it's noted that the mist carries a mysterious energy that was so strong that a normal human would only survive for about 30 minutes[234])

Notable Techniques
Manipulating Cold
Cirno can manipulate cold to the point of freezing water. She constantly emits cold air, making her surroundings chilly even in summer.
In battle, she uses this ability to attack with icicles, huge ice cubes, and wieldable weapons like swords. She can also freeze opponents and their danmaku. While she can freeze hot projectiles like flaming danmaku, she cannot freeze lasers.
The exact mechanism of her ability is unclear. Reisen Udongein Inaba speculates that Cirno warms up inside when using it, suggesting she absorbs heat from her surroundings rather than creating cold from nothing.| Name | Translated | Comments | Games | Usage |

After expanding for a bit, all on-screen bullets will freeze, be randomly redirected, and advance slowly in their new direction.
When the freeze happens, both players' fields will have all dot bullets and most other "regular" bullets stopped and tinted grey. Note this does not apply to spirits, or to some EX attacks (eg. Cirno's own icicles do not freeze, but Eiki's vortex-generated bullets will stop and redirect). This freeze also happens instantaneously, and any bullets generated after the freeze proceed normally.
At higher levels, the circle expands faster and farther before the freeze occurs. At sufficiently high levels (possibly 13+?), this Spell Card creates two concentric circles, though there is only one freeze point (timed off the first circle).

Other
Standard Tactics: As shown in Great Fairy Wars Cirno has an ice barrier around herself tha tshe uses to instantly freeze attacks that get near her.
Weaknesses
- Fairies Weaknesses: As fairies concept of death appears to differ from humans, it can also be said that they are simply foolish[10]. Fairies numbers will decrease if they live in gloomy places[10]. Fairies will not go near cautious people, thus they will stay away from anyone paying attention[13]. Fairies are much weaker then a grown human[13].
- Magic Weaknesses: Magic users taking too much damage will cancel out their attacks[247]. If a magic users spirit is depleted they enter a state of "Guard Crush" where they can't use bullets, special moves, or spell cards at all[248]. Repeatedly attacking red glyphs will break one's defenses[249].
- Unique Weaknesses
- Regular Cirno Weaknesses: Despite Cirno being able to freeze pure energy, she cannot freeze lasers[250]. Cirno can also cannot freeze fireballs from the fairies[251]. As Cirno cannot die, she instead gives up if her motivation is too low[252]. Cirno is weak against fire from torches and other objects too hot to touch[193], though she is able to withstand being in nuclear reactors for a short while[253], and withstand the fires of Utsuho[254]. Cirno's own beliefs seem to have some form of affect on her, Cirno believed the fairies during Great Fairy War had more bullets then they actually do making her have to dodge more bullets[255], this is also shown with Marisa where Marisa claims she will be using a non-lethal laser that won't kill her but instead drain her motivation[256], which is a giant flashlight that Cirno believes will sap her motivation thus it does[257].
- Tanned Cirno Weaknesses: The amount of energy bursting from Cirno will eventually make her not able to hold her form any longer[258] and have her sense of self break down[259].
Note
- While Cirno cannot freeze lasers[260]. nor fireballs from the fairies[261], it should be noted these are attacks made of magic, which magic exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory[262], and is above the first layer is where all things within the laws of physics presides, putting attacks with magic outside of the conventional laws of physics[21]. Thus Cirno being able to freeze pure energy[263], through the process of taking heat from the object[264], would fall under Absolute Zero, as to freeze energy to through th eprocess of stopping movement entirely through the process of absorbing heat would mean all thermal energy is removed and the potential contradictions comes from objects not bound by the laws of physics.
- Any translations from en.tohouwiki.net are considered fine to use as they all fall under Project Translations, a fan translation team that have translation guuidelines and rulesets, along with moderators that directly overlook and proofread English translations to check for machine translations.
- Yumemi's statements can be taken with credibility, not only do the science from her world surpass the main one by 500 years[265] where she notes the science of the main world is much more primitive then hers[266], but her world has already fully proven the existence of Grand Unified Theory and Yumemi herself notes that her theory was proven right by seeing magic.
- Despite Gensou Narratograph being directly noted to be an "unofficial Touhou tabletop RPG", ZUN has directly participated in the RPG and noted the way Reimu acts during his session is how canon Reimu would act[267], thus character actions done by him and mechanics are fine to use.
- Even if characters have not showcased using a bomb, they should all be able to use bombs, as bombs are realistically just spiritual attacks[146] and to even be able to fight the non-human entities, requires a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb[268], meaning everyone that is non-human or is fighting non-humans is using spiritual energy.
Special Notes
- Many spell card images and descriptions along with translations are heavily helped by the Touhou Wiki.
Explanations
Canoncity of Touhou Project
The Touhou Project franchise canoncity mainly falls under any media worked on by ZUN are official and canon to the overall lineup.
There are various aspects constantly debated about within the canon:
PC-98
Media like PC-98, has been noted by ZUN to be ignored as one can ignore derivative works[269]. He has also said that anything prior to Embodiment of Scarlet Devil can for the most part be ignored and one can think of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil as the starting from a clean slate and starting a new series[270], he's also referred to Highly Responsive to Prayers as a study product[271]. With this in mind, one would assume that PC-98 is thus non-canon to the Windows continuity of games.
However, ZUN has also directly stated PC-98 games are the same world as the Windows Games, stating that any contradictions that exist from PC-98 can be ignored from the retcon in Windows Era[272]. While one argues ZUN noting the works are derivative works to be ignored and Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil should be seen as the starting point, these statements are moreso telling a fan to not worry about having to play PC-98 games or learn more about their stories.
It's also been noted in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's おまけ.txt that the game chronologically is not too far from the previous title, which would be Mystic Square, the PC-98 title[273]. ZUN has also directly brought back characters from PC-98 games, noting he wanted to bring back characters from before Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and notes any of the other older characters that don't appear have probably retired by now and are warmly watching over things from various places nowadays[274]. When asked where Mima from PC-98 has gone, ZUN notes that he doesn't bring them back due to making things complicated and having potentially angry fans ask where she has been the entire time, he has also noted that there's not much use for characters like Genji as Reimu can fly now and also notes he is not dead[275]. ZUN has also made mention to Genji probably living in the lake in the back of the shrine[276]. In Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Reimu and Marisa were talking about glowing moss with Reimu saying it would be nice to transfer it to the pond in the back of the Hakurei Shrine and Marisa saying that she could make it grow there on the turtles' back, referencing Genji[277].
In Touhou 07 Perfect Cherry Blossom, when Alice meets Reimu, she tells her long time no see, noting that they've met before calling her "old friend"[278]. In Yuuka's mode in Touhou Project - Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Reimu directly references defeating Yuuka back in PC-98[279]. If Yuuka defeats Marisa in the same game, she will note that Marisa has grown up quite a bit, when the last time she's seen her has been in PC-98[280].
Seeing as ZUN himself has directly said both PC-98 and Windows are in the same world and that characters directly acknowledged PC-98 events and reference characters from it, PC-98 is completely canon and any contradictions PC-98 have can be ignored.
Side Games Time Placements
Touhou 7.5 - Immaterial and Missing Power takes place between Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night[281].
Multiple Playable Routes
In the series, there are multiple playable character routes, including some where the characters fight Reimu herself and defeat her, calling question into what route is canon. ZUN has elaborated that canonically, anytime Reimu and the gang are defeated, they challenge again however many times they want, but on the youkai side, they do not challenge again after being defeated and are not attached to the results of winning or losing[282].
In terms of how playable routes have went, some examples of canonically noted routes:
- In Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it's noted that Reimu resolved the Scarlet Devil Mansion Incident alone[283].
- Reimu is also acknowledged to have resolved the Spring Snow Incident in Perfect Cherry Blossom, though it is not noted if she did this alone[284].
- Reimu claims she solved the Eternal Night incident, however if one asks her about the cause or the perpetrator, she'll only respond with ambiguous answers, it is also not noted if she did this alone[285].
With some of these examples, it is normally assumed that in some way Reimu has some part in resolving every incident and other routes are dubiously canon depending on what transpired.
Spell Card Rules
There are many cases of weaker humans beating stronger Yokai or vice versa within the Touhou series, this has been elaborated on in Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense. Reimu introduced the spell card rules as the youkai had no way to defeat the Hakurei shrine maiden, making many youkai feel that their meaning to exist have dissapeared[178]. The rules incoporate the following:
- Spell cards are techniques specially-named by the individual, and they must be declared upon use.
- The number of each party's spell cards must be determined in advance of a duel.
- The first party to have all of their spell cards beaten must admit defeat.
- The victor is entitled only to what was agreed upon before the duel. If they're not interested in what their opponent has to offer, they can refuse a duel.
- Winners should generally allow losers a rematch.
- Always prepare for the unexpected.
The original draft held these rules[286]:
- Combatants will give names and meanings to the duel for the benefit of beauty.
- Combatants will declare the number of named duels before beginning.
- Combatants may not repeat attacks by relying on stamina.
- Combatants may not deliver attacks that do not have meaning. The meaning itself becomes the attack's power.
- In the case that a combatant loses a named duel, that combatant will admit defeat, even if he or she has strength remaining. No combatant may kill a human, even upon victory.
- Combatants will write the duel's name on paper in the format of a contract. By doing so, the above-mentioned rules become absolute. These papers will be called spell cards.
These rules allows for duels that feel almost like sport rather then a match, and have allowed for weaker fighters to challenge stronger ones, due to this though, it also has become possible for youkai to freely defeat Reimu without worrying about the consequences.
Due to them being written into cards and essentially affecting the ability and power of an attack, the spell cards are likely the thing binding attacks to specific properties.
Parallel Worlds
Parallel Worlds is a topic brought up at some points in the Touhou Project franchise, they are worlds called "Probability Worlds" by Yumemi, stating that those and parallel worlds are one and the same[287]. This essentially means that parallel worlds in Touhou are based on the concept of probability. Yumemi and Chiyuri use a "Probability Space Hypervessel" in order to travel to alternate worlds and time periods[288], further showcasing that probabiliy serves an importance.
Magical vs. Physical Strength
There[289] are[290] multiple[291] occasions[292] of[293]characters[294] commenting[295] on[296] humans like[297] Reimu[298] being strong[299]. Despite this Reimu showcases physical strength that isn't superhuman, such as the fact that she cannot cut a bamboo stick while Fujiwara direclty does in front of her.
This is due to the difference between magical and physical strength.
In works like Symposium of Post-mysticism, Yuugi Hoshiguma's profile has Suika directly state that Yuugi is weaker then her in magical powers, but stronger than her physically[300], lining a clear difference between magical and physical strength.
While one can be physically stronger then another, such as how Onis are physically the strongest, magic users are still able to keep up with them due to using a different form of attack.
An example can be found with Yuugi herself, when Reimu fights against her in Subterranean Animism[301], with her acknolwedging her strength[302], something Yuugi only does to those who are truly strong[300]. This establishes even with spellcard rules, Yuugi considers Reimu a strong fighter. Reimu herself is very clearly not at an oni's physical strength, as she cannot do the things they can, however, her magical strength allows her to keep up with them.
To defend against magical based properties requires Non-Standard Defenses as it is acknowledged as not being something of standard physicality.
The Three Layers of Reality
In Chapter 27 of Curiosities of Lotus Asia, Reimu proceeds to explain how reality works to Rinnosuke and Marisa, where she explains in-depth the three layers of reality.
This conversation started from discussing the mechanism of fortune, where Rinnosuke attempted to posit that the future is predetermined and that Reimu's luck was her being able to calculate in an instant the predetermined future, however Reimu had a different explanation requiring her to lecture on the mechanisms of probability[303], in her explanation, the world is made up of three layers: the physical layer that moves in accuracy with the laws of physics, the second layer that moves with the spirit, and the third layer of memory which is the recollection of events that lies within all things[21]. The memory layer rejects the loop of the physical and mental layers, the two layers the youkai conceive of the world which is why they believe history repeats itself and the future is predetermined. Since it's only possible to add to the memory layer, it's possible to completely recreate the past.
While the physical layer follows the laws of physics, the mental layer interprets the outcomes and the memory layer alters the probability, essentially creating the future, since it's impossible for memories to raech the same state as a point in the past, the future is not predetermined, thus when Reimu is able to predict how the dice will fall, she's not predicting the fall of the dice, the dice members the fact that she predicted how the dice would fall, thus due to this, Reimu entering the memory of the die-face greatly skews the results in Reimu's favor, where the results side with Reimu[304].
Thus the memory layer is essentially the most important layer that rejects the notion of loops from the previous two layers.
Trivia
- Cirno's spell card Ice Sign "Icicle Fall" on Easy mode is widely considered one of the easiest spell cards in the entire Touhou series, as there is a noticeable gap directly in front of Cirno that allows the player to clear it quickly and with minimal effort.
- While her exact age remains unknown, Cirno is one of the few characters in Phantasmagoria of Flower View who recognizes that the current incident had also occurred sixty years earlier, implying that she has existed for at least that long.
- Although Cirno is neither the final boss of Touhou Hisoutensoku nor of Great Fairy Wars, she appears as the silhouette on both jewel cases. Along with Sumireko Usami, she is the only character to be featured as the silhouette on the jewel cases of two different Windows-era games.
- Cirno is one of two characters to receive a new portrait in a mainline game despite not being playable in that game. The other is Yuyuko Saigyouji in Ten Desires.
- One of Cirno's alternate color palettes in Touhou Hisoutensoku resembles the color palettes used for Alice Margatroid and Reimu Hakurei during the PC-98 era.
- Masahiro Shibata's manga series Sarai, published from 1997 to 2007 exclusively in Japan, appears to have been a major inspiration for many characters from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. The series features superpowered maids battling youkai and monsters in a dystopian future.
- Cirno shares her name with a character from Sarai as well.

○氷の妖怪 チルノ 一面の中ボス、寒いところ大好きな氷の妖怪。 主に冷気を操る程度の能力を持つ 特に目的があって霊夢たちを攻撃しているわけではなく、ただそこに居たから攻撃しただけである。 夏でも冬でもチルノから冷気を出しているため、チルノの周りは寒い。 当然春でも寒い。秋でも。 |
Touhou Project - Perfect Cherry Blossom |
| Small Fairy of the Ice, Cirno A fairy who likes pranks. She has the ability to manipulate cold. Without thinking of her own strength, she sets up pranks and ends up having a painful experience every time. That can be said of most fairies, but without reflecting on her past painful experiences at all Cirno sets up pranks one after another. The disaster this time has all of the fairies in an uproar, so she'll probably show up too. |
○氷の小さな妖精 チルノ 悪戯好きな妖精。冷気を操る程度の能力を持つ。 自分の力量を考えないで悪戯をしかけその都度痛い目に遭う。 妖精全般に言えることだが、痛い目に遭っても何にも反省せず、次から次へと悪戯を仕掛けるのである。 今回の異変では妖精達が大騒ぎしているので、彼女も多分に漏れず |

| Small Fairy of the Ice Cirno Species: Fairy An ice fairy who usually stays at the lake, which is like her headquarters. She's basically just a fairy, so she's an idiot who loves pranks. Since the flowers are blooming so much, lots of people are coming to the lake; this leads to the fairies being even more troublesome than usual, so she decided to join them and be a bother as well. |
○氷の小さな妖精 チルノ 種族:妖精 普段は湖を根城としている氷の妖精。 基本的に妖精なので、悪戯好きで馬鹿。 花が咲き乱れてからというもの、様々な者が湖を通り、さらに妖精達もいつもにもまして騒いでいたので、自分も一緒に騒ぐことにした。 |
Touhou Project - Phantasmagoria of Flower View |
| Fairy of the Ice, Cirno The small fairy was as agitated as usual. Because today, she had seen something bigger than the mountain. Of course, in reality, it was much smaller than the mountain, but from her impression, there wasn't that big of a difference. It was soon hidden in mist and disappeared from sight, but she was certain. It was definitely the great youkai "Daidarabotchi". She didn't know where it normally lived, but a moment after she became excited by seeing a rare youkai, the shrine maiden descended from the Youkai Mountain. "Have you seen any giant robo... anything big moving around here?" Asking that, the shrine maiden started searching in the mist. The small fairy found itself driven on by an odd irritation, thinking that she saw it first, so it was her thing. "I didn't see any Daidarabotchi." Saying that, she diverted the shrine maiden. From nothing more than simple curiosity, she decided to search for the great youkai here. |
○氷の妖精 チルノ 小さな妖精はいつものように興奮していた。 今日は山よりも大きいアレを見たからである。 勿論、実際には山よりも遥かに小さいのだが、 視覚から感じる印象は大差はない。 すぐに霧に包まれ見えなくなってしまったが、彼女は確信していた。 アレは、大妖怪「だいだらぼっち」に違いない。 普段はどこに住んでいるのか判らないが、 珍しい妖怪を見たと興奮したのもつかの間 妖怪の山から巫女が下りてきた。 「この辺で巨大ロ……、大きな動く物を見たりしていない?」 巫女はそういうと、霧の中探し始めたのである。 小さな妖精は何故か焦燥感に駆られ、 自分が先に見たんだから自分の物だと思う様になった。 「だいだらぼっちなんて見てないよ」 そう答え、巫女を牽制した。 彼女はただの好奇心から自分で大妖怪を探そうと思ったのである。 |

Touhou Project - Hidden Star in Four Seasons |
| Before EoSD, mobs didn't have any designs set in stone, but in EoSD I decided it was time to give those mobs a concrete design that lines up with the current Touhou design philosophy, and I gave one of them a special personality, that one special mob was Cirno. An overconfident child who doesn't know her place, that's the image of her character. She made multiple appearances throughout the series, and she's still relevant as of today, which I had never expected at the point I made her. FYI, the impression of Cirno being an idiot resulted from the line in PoFV player manual, in other words, it was my act leading to all this. I'm sorry. |
それまで、道中の雑魚キャラについては決まった設定はなかったのですが、それらも世界観の中に組み込まれ、その雑魚に個性を持たせたのはチルノです。 自信過剰で身の程知らずの子供、というイメージのキャラクターでしたが、その後の作品にも多数登場し、息の長いキャラになるとは思いませんでした。ちなみにチルノにはバカというイメージが付いていますが、それは花映塚のマニュアルの所為で、つまり僕の所為です。ごめんね。 |

Misconceptions
Cirno is an idiot
This is a pretty popular fanon idea of Cirno, which is noted by ZUN himself that this impression of Cirno resulted from a line in the Phantasmagoria of Flower View player manual[305].
Fairies however are not idiots or stupid, they are child-like. They have shown competency in activities such as being shown to give recipes to cook meals[306], the instructions and methods wouldn't really fit characters apart of the idiot archetype.
Characters Have Flown Through Outerspace
One example of this is believed to be in Touhou 02's Stage 3 Scarlet Dream ~ Scarlet Dream where it displays stars and a space-like effect in the background[307], however this is actually the World of Fantasies, the world that lies between Makai and the human world, with Genji confirming this is definetely not outerspace as Reimu can breathe just fine there[308].
All Characters are Children
This is an argument that spawns from how small the characters look in different works, though this is moreso due to the "moe" artstyle Touhou tries to capture, in many of the manga characters look far older.
Majority of characters in the series are outright shown to drink alcohol on a daily basis[309], where one needs to be at least 20 years old under Japanese law to drink, where Japanese law requires no underaged characters to be shown drinking. This is even acknowledged in the series itself with a note saying alcohol is only for those over 20 years old[310]. Thus if a character is ever seen drinking alcohol in the series, they are an adult.
The only direct non-adults in the series are Sumireko Usami, Chiyuri Kitashirakawa, and Hieda no Akyuu in her first appearance.
Youkai Control the world through both the mental and physical layer
This statement comes from a fan translation that says this in Curiosities of Lotus Asia[311].
While the statement seems clear cut, there is another translation used instead that makes more sense with the sentence.
It instead notes that most youkai concieve of the world through these two layers, which is why they believe the future is pre-determined and history repeats itself[312]. This falls in line with the earlier disucssion of Rinnosuke claiming that he believes the future to be predetermined and Reimu needing to explain to him why that's not the case[303].
