**Parasol** is a mascot played by Butterflyunicorn. Parasol is a mascot that resembles a kasa-obake and lives somewhere in Japan. They end their sentences with **~para!**

## Appearance

Parasol is a mascot that resembles a kasa-obake, a yokai that resembles an umbrella with a single eye, a single leg, and a long tongue. Parasol is mostly baby blue in color, with their leg and two arms being a lighter shade of blue. On the tip of their canopy, they have a pale yellow heart shaped symbol. Their single eye is round and dark blue, with a pale yellow, upside down heart symbol below it, as well as pink blushes on their, erm, "cheeks." Their tongue is usually sticking out.

## Personality

Parasol is a timid and shy mascot. Deep down, they desire nothing more then to have friends, but they are extremely skittish; nearly anything will send them screaming and running off into a corner. Despite their timid personality, Parasol desperately wishes to be thought of as a cute and adorable mascot, and will often tell off anyone who says they look creepy or strange, albeit usually while also sobbing their eyes out. Related to this, they tend to find comments about how creepy kasa-obake are, or other things that could be misconstrued as a comment about their appearance, offensive, regardless of whether or not the comment was actually targeted at them. While they are extremely cowardly, they can be surprisingly determined when trying to protect their friends or attempting to defend their status as cute and huggable.

Unlike most mascots, Parasol doesn't originate from a magical kingdom in another dimension, but instead live on Earth. As a result, compared to some other fairies, such as Rorupu, they are surprisingly familiar with human culture as a result of them eavesdropping on the conversations that nearby humans have. They understand the general conventions and social terms of humans surprisingly well, and, while they likely couldn't give you a detailed plot summary, they are surprisingly familiar with both the names as well as the vague premises of books, TV shows, and video games.

While Parasol is easily frightened and can be scared by nearly anything in the right context, the two things Parasol is most frightened by are thunder, do to the fact they are paranoid that they could be electrocuted do to being an umbrella, and foxes, especially magical ones, since Parasol is scared that any fox they meet could be a kitsune out to get them.

## Etymology

**Parasol** is a kind of light umbrella used to give shade from the sun, alluding to the fact Parasol is a kasa-obake, or an umbrella yokai.

## Abilities

Like the majority of mascots in the Precure franchise, Parasol is capable of flight. They are also capable of jumping around on their single leg like a pogo stick, and can in fact jump surprisingly high using this, although this ability is somewhat redundant do to the fact they can already fly.

Butterfly is considering giving Parasol the ability to shapeshift, although this hasn't been fully decided yet.

## Trivia

* Parasol's birthday is on February 10th, making them an Aquarius. Their birthday falls on Umbrella Day.
* Parasol was inspired by a conversation between Butterflyunicorn and the user Lanthanum12 during the Watch Party on Sunday. During the episode Lanth played, a monster resembling a kasa-obake appeared, and Butterfly jokingly suggested a "kasa-obake fairy." Lanth really liked the concept, so Butterfly turned it into an actual character.
* Parasol's favorite foods are blueberries and rice balls, and their favorite drinks are blueberry cheesecake milkshakes and the dirty rainwater that falls into the gutter.
* Butterflyunicorn still hasn't decided if Parasol should be a fairy that resembles a kasa-obake or an actual kasa-obake. That being said, until Butterflyunicorn decides, this page will be in the "Fairies" category.
* In case the rest of the page didn't make it obvious, Parasol is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.
