Tewi Inaba

Tewi Inaba, also known as Earthborn Rabbit, White Rabbit of Good Fortune and Herd of Leaping Rabbits, is a character from the Touhou Project series.
== Charactah Account ==
After taking good care of her health and living for a long time, Tewi became something more than an ordinary rabbit. She leads the Earthborn rabbits living in Eientei. Her impetuous temperament makes her seem more like a fairy than a phantom.
Humans who lose their way in the bamboo forest around Eientei sometimes catch a glimpse of Tewi. Those who see her are able to find their way out without fail, so she is considered a guide of the forest.
It's a shame that they waste the fortune given to them by Tewi on such a small thing, but humans are too clueless to notice their mistake.

== Trivia ==
* Unlike Reisen, Tewi's title of "Inaba" is assigned Kanji characters, which refer to the old Inaba Province in the Kansai era. "The White Hare of Inaba" is mentioned in the Kojiki.
* It is said that ordinary animals who live a long time may develop profound magical abilities. Tewi is one of them.
* The "wi" in Tewi is a hiragana that was removed from official Japanese language use by the post-war government in 1954. In present day Japanese, her name is pronounced "Tei". The hiragana "wi" is still used artistically or stylistically as it is here in the case of Tewi (or cf. Nikka Brand Whiskey), and is similar to "thy" or "thou" in English: recognizable and still used, but almost never for official documents. Additionally, since she's at least 1300 years old, she would have received her name centuries before "wi" was legislated out of official use by the government.
* Tewi's spellcard "Ancient Duper" is likely to be based on a story from the Kojiki, The White Hare of Inaba.
* She seems to be much of a prankster, both in fan and official work such as in Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth and Eastern and Little Nature Deity. The most common victim is Reisen Udongein Inaba. Despite being older than Reisen, she often acts in a childish manner compared to the Moon Rabbit.
* In Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, she's depicted as being fond of beer.
* Tewi is the only original midboss character to become a fully playable character.
