Character Information

Temperament: Diamond Dust

Diamond Dust refers to a phenomenon where water vapor is rapidly cooled down, resulting in fine ice crystals that appear to dance in the air. This is the only temperament for Cirno, who can freeze anything in an instant. Cirno is endowed with Water Phase, as a spirit connected to ice, and Star Essence, showing her carefree nature as a fairy. The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water. The diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.

Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating cold

Cirno can instantly freeze something if it is small enough, which is an impressive show of power for a fairy. Apparently, she is supposed to be weak to fire (for example, torches), but you wouldn't know that just looking at her. The ice fairy uses her ability unconsciously, which makes her very useful in the hot summer months. On the other hand, you might be the target of a prank if you suddenly feel an unnatural chill in the winter.

Attacks

Icicle Shoot

Cirno's Spread Shot. Her bullets shoot out icicles. Don't underestimate the attack just because the bullets are made of ice. The frozen water is as hard as metal.

Bullets
  • Icicle Needle
  • Icicle Needle
  • Ice-Cold Icicle
  • Icicle Needle
  • Ice-Cold Icicle
  • Icicle Needle
Freezing Lasers

Cirno's Focus Shot. It freezes anything it touches, so you definitely don't want it to hit you. It is unclear how the freezing laser works and what temperature the laser is. Knowing Cirno, it could be -100,000,000 degrees.

Bullets
  • Cool Light
  • Cold Light
  • Super Cold Light
  • Cold Light
  • Super Cold Light
  • Cold Light
Ice Sign: Icicle Fall

Cirno's Spell Card. This bullet attack generates a large number of icicles and lets them fall down on its target. It is a terrifying sight, to say the least. If you look closely, you can see that the icicles never fall near Cirno.

Bullets
  • Ice-Cold Icicle
  • Icicle Spear
  • Icicle Needle
  • Hard Icicle Needle
  • Icicle Needle
  • Icicle Spear
Freeze Sign: Perfect Freeze

Cirno's Spell Card. After letting loose a barrage of colorful bullets, Cirno freezes them to a stop before making them move again in this elaborate attack. Anyone who underestimates Cirno for being a mere fairy will regret it―in spades.

Bullets
  • Chill
  • Freeze
  • Ice Bullet
  • Ice Bullet
  • Ice Bullet
  • Too Icy
Ice Age - Snowball Earth

Cirno's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). Cirno puts all her power in this attack―like she plans to freeze the whole Earth―to freeze everything surrounding her. Water expands when it freezes, so the ice on both sides grows to crush the targets between them. All Cirno is doing is chilling the area around her, but that is enough for her to wreak all this damage.

Bullets
  • Operation Freeze!
  • Chill Everything
  • Ice Crush
  • Big Ice
  • Ice Crush
  • Big Ice

Skills

Skill: Widespread Freezing

Cirno freezes a large area at once. For her, it's a piece of (ice cream) cake.

Skill: Discharge

This attack releases heat from Cirno's body and lowers her body temperature, like a vent. It disturbs the balance of yin and yang.

Skill: Flash Freezing

Perfect for when you want to cool off straight away, but it creates a film of frost that can be a bit annoying to deal with.

Passive: Rapid Freeze
Passive: Flash Frost
Passive: Cold and Hot Blood
