I'm Parsee Mizuhashi, a hashihime. The Underworld youkai seem to have come out to play, so I've come to bring them back.
Introduction
My name is Parsee Mizuhashi. I'm a hashihime who protects the crossing on the boundary between the surface and the Underworld... I'm good at manipulating jealousy, but I don't just go about making everyone jealous. I might have gone mad with envy if you were a fortunate human. But in reality, you currently have bad luck. There are plenty of people I'm jealous of on the surface, so I think it's good that there's at least one person I'm not jealous of. Nice to meet you.
Purple Heart
You are surprisingly... No, it's nothing. Forget about it.
Blue Heart
I'm glad that you're a normal human being. I don't have to be jealous. Hehe.
Green Heart
Don't... be nice to me. I couldn't stand having everything that you gave to me, so I broke them all and threw them away.
Orange Heart
Oh, I'm jealous. You can't understand this feeling... No, you will never understand. Rather, I'm jealous that you have the spirit to even try to reach out to me! Should I sew your talkative mouth shut?
Pink Heart
You feel inferior to the people around you who can easily accomplish things that you cannot? And you feel uncomfortable when everyone is kind to you even though you think you're useless? So that... is what you really think.
Summer
This season has a lot of noise from live concerts and conventions. Everyone is so excited, and I really envy them. It's best to watch from afar like this.
Login
You're more reserved than I had heard. And yet you always come close to me. Hmm, you're not going to do anything today? I think that's fine.
Enhancement
I'm a little envious of my past self, who was fine even without power.
Return
You say you were jealous of my beautiful bullets? Don't praise me.
Home 1
I usually say I'm not that jealous of Kisume, but I'm actually jealous of her shyness... I have to find her and bring her home soon.
Home 2
Yamame is an excellent Underworld worker, and we need to bring her back to get work done. She's good at earthwork, and working at heights, so I'm really jealous of her.
Home 3
Yuugi is the trusted leader of the Underworld youkai. She also cares about me from time to time. But Yuugi always talks about Suika...

Start of Battle
Experience the power of a youkai of fear who should've been sealed away.
Mid-Wave
I'm bored. Everyone seems to be having fun, and I'm really jealous.

Character Information
Temperament: Karakaze
Karakaze (a Touhou LW original) refers to a dry wind. This is an apt temperament for Parsee, who is rumored to have a connection with a certain foreign country with dry weather. Parsee is endowed with Water Phase, as a hashihime, and Sun Essence, as she embraces her own nature.
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 alluring and arrogant Sun Essence the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating jealousy
The ability of Parsee Mizuhashi as a hashihime. Parsee can apparently invoke feelings of jealousy and envy and then turn them into her own power. Envy is an emotion that curses others who are in a better situation than yourself. The standard of happiness varies from person to person, so envy is an emotion that anyone can feel. Many teachings consider this emotion a sin, and it has been considered a classic emotion in the history of humankind. That is why anger and resentment caused by jealousy are considered to be closely related to the demonic nature of youkai and monsters.
It is said that Parsee may have made full use of this ability to survive in the Underworld, which is a much harsher environment than the surface. Since envy is one of the primary emotions that make up vengeful spirits, one can imagine that Parsee's ability is useful for both offense and defense. However, she doesn't usually use this ability against humans. It is no exaggeration to say that she has one of the most complex and delicate mental structures among youkai. Since hashihime are sometimes worshipped as water gods, she may be more than a mere youkai.
The "Shrine Visits in the Dead of Night" is a curse and a ritual performed to wish harm upon a person you resent. It is often interpreted as an occult ritual that uses straw dolls, but it is also similar to onmyoudou rituals that use shikigami. Hashihime may be related to the girls who were used as human sacrifices in the past to calm a river's flooding, which makes them similar to shrine maidens.
Attacks
Caina Hell
Parsee Mizuhashi's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots lots of ice nails in this attack. According to the teachings of a foreign country in the west, those who commit the sin of treachery are said to be sent to an ice Hell of extreme cold. An icy Hell sounds more painful than a burning one...!
Bullets
Resentment Ice Nail
Sorrow Ice Nail
Grief Ice Nail
Pain Ice Nail
Jealousy Ice Nail
Envy Ice Nail
Uji Bridge Burning
Parsee Mizuhashi's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). An attack that knocks her target over by destroying the bridge they stand on. Building bridges over rivers has been an important business since long ago, and when someone builds a bridge, they pray to a water god. Bridges are also structures that allow people to cross boundaries, establishing communication with the other side of a river. The reason why gods who protect bridges can also offer blessings to cut unwanted ties with people (burn bridges) may be related to such ancient beliefs and views.
Bullets
Girder Bridge Split
Suspension Bridge Split
Arch Bridge Split
Truss Bridge Split
Cable-Stayed Bridge Split
Rigid-Frame Bridge Split
Jealousy Sign: Green-Eyed Monster
Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Card. An attack where she shoots green lights shaped like eyes. A playwright from the west is said to have described jealousy as the green-eyed monster. This probably resulted in the term "green-eyed" becoming synonymous with jealousy. Monsters are always lurking in our hearts.
Bullets
Green-Eyed Small Monster
Green-Eyed Monster
Green-Eyed Demon
Green-Eyed Devil
Green-Eyed Great Monster
Green-Eyed Envy Dragon
Malice Sign: Day 7 of the Shrine Visits in the Dead of Night
Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Card. She shoots long nails in this attack. Although, it is more like she hammers the nails rather than shoots them. This may be the right way to get rid of a grudge. Visiting a shrine at the Hour of the Ox (between 1-3 A.M.) to hammer long nails into a straw doll multiple nights in a row is a well-known curse ritual in Japan, but few people know how to perform it correctly. Even if you do happen to learn it, you should never perform this ritual unless you want to become an oni yourself. Curses, like chickens, come home to roost.
Bullets
White Clothes of Resentment
Tall Single-Tooth Geta
Upturned Trivet With Three Candles
Face Painted White
Hanging Mirror
Hair Shaped Into Five Horns
Higekiri to Onigiri
Parsee Mizuhashi's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This attack replicates a legendary sword that supposedly cut off the hashihime of Uji's arm. It is believed that the sword was originally named Higekiri, but the name was later changed to Onimaru, Shishinoko, Tomogiri, and back to Onimaru again. This sword is a pair to Hizamaru (also called Kumogiri, Hoemaru, and Usumidori). They are like friends and brothers. Perhaps due to the influence of a certain ancient piece of literature, this sword is often thought to be the same sword as Onikiri (also called Onikirimaru or Onikiri-Yasutsuna).

Onikiri Slash
Shishinoko Slash
