Character Information

Temperament: Asagasumi
Asagasumi (a Touhou LW original) refers to morning mist. This is the perfect temperament for Wakasagihime, the freshwater mermaid from the world of eternal summer who can also swim in saltwater. "The ocean's bigger than any river or lake, so I should be more powerful here! I'm gonna create the biggest waves!" (Strong against Water Phase.) "Going with the wind will make them super choppy! (Strong against Wood Phase.) "I can even wash away the shore." (Strong against Earth Phase.) "But the tides can mess them up." (Weak to Moon Essence.) "Smelt trivia! Some species of smelt can live in saltwater. They travel along rivers between lakes and the ocean." Sekibanki, reading from the encyclopedia she had borrowed, continued, "Fish living in a lake that are no longer able to swim to the ocean are called landlocked." "It says here that smelt aren't usually found in warmer climates," added Kagerou, looking over Sekibanki's shoulder.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of growing in power when underwater (Beach)
The ability of Wakasagihime from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). It's basically identical to the abilities of Wakasagihimes from other worlds, and even in this world, she is still one of the weakest youkai. You'd think mermaids would be strong in a world with so much water, but smelt (called wakasagi in Japanese) prefer colder climates, so this Wakasagihime is only a bit less docile than usual. Wakasagihime had heard about the Yin-Yang League and the Occult Bowl from Sekibanki, but apparently, there were also some competitions involving food! She hadn't checked, but she was sure there'd be cooking AND eating competitions. Checking might lead to disappointment, so she decided against it. She wanted to preserve her excitement for as long as possible. Besides, if there wasn't a shaved ice eating competition, she could always start one. It's not like Wakasagihime is a super big eater. In fact, she's usually quite reserved. But in this world, the summer heat is unrelenting. Wakasagihime doesn't know when it started, but the constant heat made her feel light-headed and lethargic. Seeing her plight, an ice fairy gave her a serving of shaved ice. The soothing cold brought her back to life! It was also super yummy! Since then, Wakasagihime has tried eating all kinds of frozen desserts, and no matter how much she eats, she never gets sick. She's confident that no one can beat her in a shaved ice eating competition! "Yikes. How much more can you fit in there..." "Can I have a bite, Wakasagihime?" Sekibanki and Kagerou's expressions were caught somewhere between a smile and outright dismay as they watched Wakasagihime devour scoop after scoop. It was like the shaved ice had turned the usually quiet, lady-like Wakasagihime into a completely different person. But this strange disconnect was also kind of cute. She was like a fish to water, no, a smelt to ice. "So yummy! ...Urgh, my head!" Seeing Wakasagihime clutch her head, Sekibanki thought she might have unlocked a suppressed memory. But Kagerou was quick to realize the truth. It was simply brain freeze from eating too much shaved ice, too quickly...

Attacks

Singing Lorelei

The Spread Shot of Wakasagihime from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She shows off her beautiful singing voice in this attack. Wakasagihime loves to sing, and she's really good at it, probably because she's a mermaid. Then again, mermaids supposedly use their songs to sink ships, so perhaps they don't all sound as good as Wakasagihime.

Bullets
  • Singing Lorelei
  • Kilo Singing Lorelei
  • Mega Singing Lorelei
  • Giga Singing Lorelei
  • Tera Singing Lorelei
  • Peta Singing Lorelei
Dragon Spiral

The Focus Shot of Wakasagihime from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She gets excited and attacks like a sea dragon. There are so many different kinds of creatures in the sea. There are sea monks, sea bishops, and even sea dragons! You won't see any of them in a freshwater lake. Tropical oceans are a hotbed of biodiversity.

Bullets
  • Dragon Spiral
  • Kilo Dragon Spiral
  • Mega Dragon Spiral
  • Giga Dragon Spiral
  • Tera Dragon Spiral
  • Peta Dragon Spiral
Ice Sign: Ice Leviathan

A Spell Card of Wakasagihime from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She imitates a terrifying sea dragon in this attack. When Wakasagihime eats the shaved ice Cirno makes for her, she remembers what it was like to swim in a cool ocean (or perhaps it was an estuary). Or does she just imagine it? Youkai live for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, so remembering their past can't be easy. They might even be someone else's memories.

Bullets
  • Ice Leviathan
  • Kilo Ice Leviathan
  • Mega Ice Leviathan
  • Giga Ice Leviathan
  • Tera Ice Leviathan
  • Peta Ice Leviathan
Song Sign: Yummy Shaved Ice Song

A Spell Card of Wakasagihime from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She sings a happy song about a sweet, cold dessert. Humans have caused Japanese smelt (called wakasagi in Japanese) to establish populations all across the globe. Nowadays, they would probably be called an invasive species, but this happened long ago. Japanese smelt are highly adaptable and don't care that much about water quality. They're a pretty amazing fish. They taste amazing, too, and are often given as gifts.

Bullets
  • Yummy Shaved Ice Song
  • Extra-Yummy Shaved Ice Song
  • Mega-Yummy Shaved Ice Song
  • Super-Yummy Shaved Ice Song
  • Ultra-Yummy Shaved Ice Song
  • Yummiest Shaved Ice Song
Landlocked Nostalgia - Kasumi Hitachi's Fish School

The Last Word of Wakasagihime from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She reminisces about the past in this attack. However, it's unknown whether these memories belong to her or her fishy friends. Either way, she can remember living in a place called Kasumi in the Hitachi Province. If she thinks back further, she can remember living in the ocean. However, there are no mirrors in her memories, so she isn't certain whether she was a mermaid back then or just a regular fish. She might have even been a prehistoric fish. She just remembers the crystal clear water around her, teeming with life. That's all she needed. It was beautiful and exciting. She was happy. But she's happy now, too―happy that she gets to play at the beach with her friends.

Bullets
  • Fish School
  • Big Fish School
  • Great Fish School
  • Massive Fish School
  • Enormous Fish School
  • Ultimate Fish School
