I'm not the dummy! You are!
Oh hi there, I am Cirno, and who are you? "Troper-san?" Well whatever, come into my house, which is of course the best house there is. Do you want to play?... "Tell me about yourself?" Ehhhh, talking is so boring, playing is way more fun!... "We can play later?" Alright, fine, I'll tell you about me! You are in front of Cirno, the strongest fairy there is, so be amazed about what you'll hear!
I am from the super-popular Bullet Hell Video Game series Touhou Project. The first time I showed up was during the sixth game, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, which was also the first game for Windows. I showed up when the red-and-whitenote and the black-and-whitenote flew over the Misty Lake, so I thought about showing that they can't do that and attacked them. Since it was 2-on-1 I could not win but I would have beaten them 1-on-1 for sure...
Anyway, I spent time training and during winter I fought them again, but wasn't serious so I let them win again. During a flower viewing event, we all played together and much later I had a bout with 3 annoying fairies who destroyed my house. This house we are in now is of course much stronger than that old one!
I have a friend people call Daiyousei, she's a green-haired big fairy. She's a bit shy but really nice usually. People also often say they see me together with other youkai to play games like Hide & Seek or just fight for fun. Since most of them are weak, of course I let them win because I am strong and nice too!
So anyway, enough talking, let's play... "show me your tropes"... alright, fine, you can read these tropes down there about me but when you're done you have to play with me, get it?
- Arch-Enemy: I don't like that frog goddess because she always gets angry when I freeze frogs. I wonder why, though.
- Badass Adorable: I'm pretty strong alright... wait, do you think I'm cute as well?
- Badass Armfold: That's how I pose in Hisoutensoku. While hovering in mid-air!
- Badass Boast: Oh? You want to see my list of boasts? Here ya go!
- "I'll cryo-freeze you together with some English beef!"
- "I'm the strongest!"
- "I'm Cirno! The freezer of crybabies!"
- "I'm not scared of youkai or gods! I'll show you what "Recklessness is courage" is all about!"
- "I'm Cirno! The eternal omiwatari!"
- "I'm an ice fairy who can pound a nail in with a banana! And this unstoppable fairy's gonna win fair and square!"
- "Nah, I'm fine going solo. I'm strong enough on my ownsome! Breaking three arrows at once should be faster than breaking them one by one!"
- "I've been going easy on you 'til now, but now I'm gonna get serious! On a night of spring when the cold returns, it's time for you to run out of sake and freeze to death!"
- Pretty impressive, huh? Perfect for a powerhouse like me!
- Berserk Button: The one who calls me an "idiot" is the true idiot!
- Blood Knight: I'spose my dialogue in Great Fairy Wars makes me seem so, but I was really angry, ok!?
- BFS: I was shown to create one with my ice powers in Hisoutensoku!
- Boisterous Weakling: W-What!? I'm not a weakling!
- Breakout Character: I was the main character of Fairy Wars and showed up on two different covers - a first for anyone who is not the red-and-white or the black-and-white. What's a cover again?
- Butt-Monkey: Stop calling me an idiot, you idiots! You don't even know how powerful I really am!
- Creepy Child: I am not creepy! Yes I attacked people when the sky was red but I'm not bad, ok!?
- Day in the Limelight: I'm the one and only playable character in Fairy Wars, I'll have you know!
- Death of a Thousand Cuts: Although I can throw some really big attacks (even a huge block of ice), my (possibly) greatest strength in the fighting games is being able to dish out tiny bits of damage really fast, since I have all sorts of moves that hit my enemy lots.
- The Ditz:
- Rrgh... those fans! They think that just because I'm somewhat of a ditz and I have an easy-to-dodge attack on Easy Mode, they think it's okay to depict me as a complete idiot in all of their fan works! Do they even play the game on Hard Mode? They're the real idiots!!
- I can also invert that, btw! There's lots of pictures and stories where I am a super-smart genius!
- Elemental Powers: Ice powers, of course!
- Failed a Spot Check: Someone told me that in SaBND, when playing hide and seek with Daiyousei, I didn't notice the Three Fairies behind me, even though they weren't trying to hide themselves and again when it took several seconds to realize someone is talking to me.
- The Fog of Ages: Like all fairies, I can't really remember what happened a day earlier, let alone years... not that I care as long as I get to do what I do every single day - play, fly, and challenge others to see if I'll win. On the other hand, I learned how to read and never forgot that! That's pretty cool, right?
- Harmless Freezing: As if!
- An Ice Person: Duh! I'm an ice fairy!
- Immortality: All fairies have the ability to resurrect as soon as they die. That alone puts my regenerative capabilities far above yours!
- Implacable Fairy: No matter how many times I get knocked down, I'll always be back up to continue my quest to become the strongest!
- Japanese Pronouns: Some people think badly of my use of the rough-sounding/feminine slang pronoun "Atai". It's meant to evoke the image of a tough, thuggish street rat, but coming from me, they say it's laughably underwhelming, and only serves to make me seem even more like a boorish idiot who is trying too hard. Little do they know my real strength and that it's a mistake to taunt me!
- Large Ham: Wait... first you call me an idiot, then you call me a weakling, and now you're calling me a pig!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS!?
- Leitmotif: "Beloved Tomboyish Girl"
is the best song ever since it's mine, obviously! - More Dakka: Supposedly I see way more bullets shot by enemy fairies than other people would; just compare my game to the others and you'll see what I mean. Does that make me stop trying? Nah, I'll just blast through as usual!
- Nature Spirit: I'm an ice fairy and all fairies are made from nature... stuff.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Like I was ever an easy fight to begin with!
- Overly Narrow Superlative: I'm the strongest fairy!... ah well, while I'm certainly strong for my race, normal fairies are low-level cannon fodder mooks, so I guess that doesn't mean much... and then that crazy girl Clownpiece's turned me into only being the strongest fairy in Gensokyo, since Clownpiece is a highly powerful fairy from Hell. But I know I can beat her, just you wait!
- Outside-the-Box Tactic: Did you know that I can freeze my opponents' bullets right in their tracks?
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: So what if I'm short? I'm stronger than you'll ever be!
- Power Incontinence: I am always surrounded by cold and anyone touching me could get frostbite, so don't try to hug me like some of those villagers love to! And yes I know that some fans draw me being used by other characters as air conditioning or a fridge. That's so not nice!
- Recurring Boss: Originally I was the stage 2 Boss of The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, then I reappeared as the stage 1 mid-boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom, then as a boss/enemy/player character in Phantasmagoria of Flower View and yet again as the stage 1 mid-boss of Double Dealing Character.
- Red Oni: I'm red and Daiyousei is blue. I'm the strong type who challenges people because I can (I'm not annoying, get it!) and Daiyousei is the quiet, reserved person.
- Resurrective Immortality: As a fairy, I'm part of nature and I can never die. It even shows in my game, Fairy Wars, as having a "Motivation Meter" instead of lives. I'll just fight on even when shot down until I get bored.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Small-name!? Why would anyone as powerful and intelligent as me be anything that isn't!?
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: I can be boastful and sometimes even mean rather than aloof, but I can also be very nice, especially to my friends.
- Tomboy: Some say I am the opposite to Daiyousei's shy girly-girl personality by being an outgoing Boisterous Weakling... except I'm not weak, alright!?
- Took a Level in Badass: I got to show my real strength in Fairy Wars, where I can freeze the enemy's bullets, use them as shields, and use my Resurrective Immortality to keep on fighting; some others in Gensokyo can do some of that, but no one else can do all of that like I can. That Yama even told me that I'm way stronger than fairies should be. Which means I! Am! Amazing!
- Trademark Favorite Food: Anything cold, obviously! Suika barsnote are my favorite! There's also a cool manga where I wield a sword that looks just like a suika bar!
- Winged Humanoid: Well, they're made of ice crystals, but they still count as wings!
- With Catlike Tread: When playing Hide & Seek, I don't need to keep quiet and instead yell to scare the others so they show themselves. It's the greatest tactic!
Are you done yet? Only idiots wait, winners are always ready! So play with me!
