I'm Parsee Mizuhashi, a youkai shrine maiden and hashihime. Have you seen Hoshiguma-Douji... I mean, Yuugi, wandering around here?
Introduction
Is this Shuten-Douji's promised land? I better start investigating with my magic. Huh? I seem awfully calm after suddenly appearing in another world? I'm Parsee Mizuhashi, the youkai shrine maiden. This is nothing compared to all the mysterious spiritual anomalies I've seen. Then again, a human like you could never comprehend how far we've traveled as the Night Parade... Sorry. That came out wrong. I want to know more about this world, so do you mind chatting with me? Please.
Purple Heart
I'm normally the one listening to everyone's problems.
Blue Heart
The oni are the heroes among youkai. In human terms, they're kinda like gods.
Green Heart
We worship the oni as gods, but we also live alongside them. Apparently, the archaic humans had a similar relationship with their gods in the past.
Orange Heart
Neo humans is our name for what you archaic humans would call youkai and gods. There's barely any archaic humans left in our world. I heard they fell to ruin after forsaking their beliefs and their fears.
Pink Heart
We paved the way for our future by developing our own spiritual civilization and gathering the beliefs and fears forsaken by archaic humans. Their beliefs and fears were invaluable aspects of their past, so when they forgot them, they also forsook their future.
Summer
Hot days like this make me jealous of people who live by the sea... but it seems this Gensokyo place is in the middle of the mountains. No wonder we couldn't find it.
Login
The oni's rule is pretty violent. They're literal wild spirits. The other youkai would surely rebel if shrine maidens like me didn't act as mediators. Those oni really do keep me busy.
Enhancement
Unleash the jealousy within me. This is the power of hashihime―the eighth rain youkai in the 59th Night Parade.
Return
As a shrine maiden, I'm well-versed in acupressure and acupuncture. Giving Yuugi a back massage is part of my duties.
Home 1
Hoshiguma-Douji? Oh, you mean Yuugi? She's pretty busy, so it's no surprise she can't make time for me... No, it doesn't bother me.
Home 2
The Night Parade is a procession of youkai led by the oni. It's kinda like the caravans of old. We build countries in the places we stop as we eagerly anticipate our arrival in the promised land.
Home 3
Do you want me to divine your fortune with hot spring mineral deposits? I gotta remind everyone that I'm a shrine maiden once in a while, or they'll think my talents are just for battle.
Reaction 1
Are you tired? You can rest on my lap if you want.
Reaction 2
You're way lighter than Yuugi, so this is much easier on my legs.
Reaction 3
I never imagined archaic human children would be so adorable...
Task
You're doing tasks? I'm sure Yuugi would love to help you out, but since she's not here, I'll look over them for you.
Task Complete
Well done finishing your task. Keep this up, and you'll become the envy of everyone. *pats head*
Mail
Wait... you can read? I didn't realize the literacy rate was so high among archaic humans. Perhaps their civilization wasn't so bad after all.
Errand Finished
The errand girls are back. Let's go hear their report.
Start of Battle
You're fighting a hashihime―the eighth rain youkai in the 59th Night Parade.
Mid-Wave
Burn, knowing I envy you all.
Victory
I'm sure we'll continue to envy the humans until the world becomes Makai.
Defeat
We don't have the time to wallow in defeat.

Character Information
Temperament: Shamal
Shamal (a Touhou LW original) refers to a strong seasonal wind in the Persian Gulf that kicks up sand and dust. This is Parsee Mizuhashi's temperament as the New Land of the Oni's youkai shrine maiden and unofficial spiritual leader.
Parsee is endowed with Water Phase (strong against Metal Phase but weak to Earth Phase) as a hashihime and Fire Phase (strong against Wood Phase but weak to Water Phase) as a shrine maiden of flames.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating jealousy (Berserk)
The ability of Parsee Mizuhashi from the world of iron and steam (a Touhou LW original). Those who reside in the world where mountain resources are converted to power have formed their own unique civilization. Parsee's ability doesn't appear to have changed much, but she seems to have used it extensively to establish the civilization she's a part of.
There is a nomadic youkai city in this world. They are led by oni, and call themselves the Night Parade. But there are no historical records of its existence―only rumors and hearsay. Supposedly, the city has undergone many drastic changes over the centuries since its complicated formation. However, hashihime youkai shamans have always served as its spiritual leaders. The oni rule the city and control its administration and development, whereas the hashihime shamans provide spiritual guidance to better the lives of everyone. Youkai are spiritual beings who live in a spiritual civilization, so it's possible that the hashihime actually hold more authority than the oni on certain matters.
The Night Parade isn't constantly on the move. When it stops, city-states form around it, which persist long after the Night Parade moves on. These places were all once known as the Land of the Oni, and sometimes, the current Night Parade stopover is called the New Land of the Oni. The lands to the west are collectively referred to as the Oni Realm since the Night Parade moves from west to east. This differs from our world as oni are traditionally said to come from the northeast.
But where did this all begin? Where was the first Land of the Oni? Unfortunately, there are no clear answers. The oni could've originated from the same place as human civilization, or they could have all come together from different places. Then again, perhaps it's not where but when. The Night Parade is a horde of spiritual beings held together by their common goal of reaching the promised land―their New Land of the Oni paradise. So, the moment humans attained their spirituality was probably when the first Land of the Oni came into being. But how long ago was that?
In the dead of night, Parsee, the hashihime, stood alone in the woods. Her flames illuminated the great big tree before her. Using her wooden staff as a mallet, she affixed a straw effigy to the tree with a five-inch long iron nail. The youkai of the Night Parade have traveled a long way, but it would be wrong to assume they left everything behind. They took what was most important with them. They still remember their roots.
Attacks
Nailing
The Spread Shot of Parsee Mizuhashi from the world of iron and steam (a Touhou LW original). She hammers nails into her opponents. Nails are of the Metal Phase because they are made of iron. They're perfect for affixing straw effigies to tree trunks since metal carves wood.
Bullets
5 Inch Nail
6 Inch Nail
4 Inch Nail
6.5 Inch Nail
3.5 Inch Nail
7 Inch Nail
Higekiri to Onigiri
The Focus Shot of Parsee Mizuhashi from the world of iron and steam (a Touhou LW original). She recalls her defeat in this attack. Bridges help people cross rivers, but they are also symbols and destinations in and of themselves. They have mystical significance as they facilitate the crossing of boundaries situated on key points where the flow of people and water overlap. Many people pray for their longevity because of this. However, that is also the reason why terrible atrocities were committed on bridges in the past, leaving strong feelings of resentment and betrayal that lingered for centuries.

Envy: Green-Eyed Invisible Monster
A Spell Card of Parsee Mizuhashi from the world of iron and steam. She recalls a monster called envy in this attack. Feelings of envy stem from an insatiable desire to obtain what you cannot have. In the past, when humans had to share what little resources they had just to survive, this emotion was considered vile and reprehensible―it had to be corrected. However, in the modern day, where lots of people have more than they could ever need, it's seen as just another emotion that everybody has. The monsters known as humans have caused the true terror of envy to be forgotten.

Resentment Art: Grudge Returning
A Spell Card of Parsee Mizuhashi from the world of iron and steam. She displays her resentment in this attack. Youkai are almost always angry or resentful of something. They wouldn't feel right if they weren't. As a youkai shrine maiden and spiritual leader, Parsee provides comfort and peace of mind to hordes of other youkai by sharing her resentment. These feelings come so easily to her that she has more than enough resentment to go around.

Youkai Shrine Maiden's Flames of Envy
The Last Word of Parsee Mizuhashi from the world of iron and steam (a Touhou LW original). When did the first civilization begin? Was it the moment when grunts were first interpreted as a signal and language was born? Or maybe it was when humans discovered how to use tools, making full use of their ability to walk upright, their dextrous forelimbs, and their large brains. No, it probably began the moment humans first conquered their fear of fire and decided to harness its power. This was the first energy revolution.
Using fire to cook helped preserve food and made it more digestible. Before then, humans had to immediately consume whatever food they managed to gather. Fire made hunting at night possible and cold winters more bearable. It could also be used to scare off wild animals. With this improvement in life expectancy and efficiency, humans didn't have to spend every waking hour struggling to survive. They could take the time to think and devise new ways to better their lives. This was also the advent of spirituality.
