Summary[]

Cirno is the Ice Fairy of the Lake, who debuts in Touhou 6: Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil. While she is a weak boss in the Touhou series, compared to other fairies, she is extraordinarily strong for her kind, being able to match some weaker Youkai and enough to be considered a mid-boss/boss. However, she is still weak compared to many residents of Gensokyo. As expected from her appearance, she is a bit childish and incompetent, and her personality is often called stupid. She stars as the main character in Fairy Wars.

She also appears to have immense confidence in herself, to the point where she has called herself "the strongest" on one occasion.

Fairy Physiology and Superpowers[]

Based on the Touhou Wiki

A Fairy is a small, simple, and humanoid creature of magic that represents some aspect of nature, with many of them also being simple-minded. Often they have a short life span but will regenerate immediately after they die. Fairies usually have abilities that relate to the four seasons, weather, emotions, longevity, decay, fertility, or some other aspect of nature. Cirno, in this case, is the nature of ice.

Cirno's Stage on Lunatic Difficulty in Touhou 6: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

Ice Magic and Manipulation of All Things Cold: As an Ice Fairy, Cirno is able to manipulate cold. Cirno can manipulate cold, down to the point where she can easily freeze water. She is surrounded by a perpetual chilly field that freezes her surroundings, and she has the ability to instantly generate large blocks of ice and icicles. This cold can extend to even freezing hostile Danmaku, as demonstrated in Fairy Wars.

Flight: Cirno possesses the ability to fly.

Reliant Immortality and Regeneration: Reliant on the existence of Ice and Cold, as long as they exist she can continue to revive, making her difficult to kill permanently.

Danmaku[]

(弾幕) Japanese for "Bullet Curtain", or "Curtain Fire", and also known as "Bullet Hell", Danmaku is the ability to produce a great number of projectiles at once or in quick succession, in order to overwhelm the opponent by the sheer number of them. Dodging Danmaku is notoriously difficult. According to ZUN however, in the Touhou games, when Danmaku fights do happen, they use it much more as a play fight, rather than going all out. Additionally, ZUN has stated that if the characters truly wanted to kill, a ratio of 10:1 bullets would not be necessary.

However, Danmaku can still easily destroy structures and devastate the environment.
