Touhou Doujin: Grimoire of Dawitsu

Eternally young Scarlet Devil, Remilia Scarlet

Remilia Scarlet is a child-like vampire. But don't let her looks deceive you, she is neither weak nor innocent. She's extremely strong, and has many spell-cards worth imitating. Human Mimickers really aught to avoid her unless they know what they're doing, or else they may get their blood drained. She's a messy and light eater, so you won't turn into a vampire, but you still may end up anaemic, so just mind yourself. I'm ready, Yutaka.

Personality

How do I put this... Remilia is unpleasant to deal with. Like, really unpleasant. She has a personality as immature as her looks, but is nowhere near as naïve as a child's personality. She's scheming, manipulative, and somewhat abrasive altogether, and rarely makes friends.

From what I hear, though, she can be friendly if you get her on her 'good side'. This means, on a good day, if you happen to be a long-term helper of her who has done absolutely nothing to insult her, then maybe you'll get on her good side. Human Mimickers, beware, you may think you've got on her good side when she invites you over for 'tea', but this isn't friendliness. She's just treating you as a to-be coffee machine.

She really hates me after my little 'incident causing plan'. I knew that annoying a powerful resident of Gensokyo would get me attention, but I thought I'd be visited by the nicer, insane sister rather than the horrible, yet totally sane sister.

Notes on Mimicry

Mimicking Remilia is both easy and effective. She is raw power incarnate, and raw power is not hard to imitate (that's why I find it more fun to imitate Mephiles the Dark rather than Iblis). Her more difficult to imitate techniques include transforming into a swarm of bats and obscuring her form.

Transforming into bats is sort of like mitosis. While it's natural and easy for a vampire, us Mimickers have to form several incomplete copies of ourselves. Duplication means mitosis, and mitosis on a large scale requires a ton of energy. Eat plenty of phosphorous-rich, carbon-based meals (not necessarily edible- coal does a great job as it's filled with phosphoric impurities), as this provides the cells with abundant phosphate for en-masse ATP production.

Splitting doesn't have to be perfect, as you're turning the copies into bats, not other yous. Willing with all fifteen of your brains to want to be bats can be rather difficult, and you should read the book 'Psychology of temporary clones: Uniting the Will' to help with this. If you are adept in copying fairy tale creatures, like fairy godmothers, then transforming into a bat shouldn't be difficult. It's just getting your fourteen other minds to want the same.

Also, turning into a bat without cloning yourself can come in handy to take hits by opposer's Danmaku. If they 'bomb', then turning into a bat allows you to absorb the bomb with next to no dire consequences (apart from light sprains on the arms for Youkai, but Humans can expect broken ulnars or radii.).

Should I pick any attack that I love about Remilia, it'd be 'Scarlet Shoot'. She just blasts wave after wave, either aimed at you or a general scatter-gun of five Danmaku waves. Along with the layers of slower Danmaku she's releasing to restrict her enemy, this becomes a hard to dodge spell-card quickly.

You know, her attacks are cool. Real cool. Shame she's a total bitch. Oops, did I just say that? Did you type that? Oh dear... well type up your notes and hopefully the reader will be so mesmerised by your writing style that they forget all about this...

Typist's Notes: I don't think that would work. Remilia is a real nasty piece of work, though. I can see why my Boss would say that. He is slightly biased though, after being attacked by her at the post-incident party. I'd never seen my boss unconscious until then... she must be really strong.

I like her bat-wings, though. She looks... slightly more vampiric that if she was just a little girl with old-style clothes and pale skin. Oh, did I tell you? My slumber party was great! Lots of pillow fights and guy talk... even though I'm into girls. Yeah, I'm thinking of introducing Patchouli to a couple guys if we have a holiday in the outside world.

It won't be awkward at all, I mean, I'm just her friend, right?
