Clownpiece

**Clownpiece** (クラウンピース *Kuraunpīsu*) is a fairy of Hell. She is also one of the protagonists of *Visionary Fairies in Shrine*.

## General Information

Clownpiece appeared as the Stage 5 Boss in *Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom* and as one of the protagonists of *Visionary Fairies in Shrine*, along with Sunny Milk, Star Sapphire, and Luna Child. She is Hecatia Lapislazuli's subordinate, who has instructed her to live in Gensokyo for the time being. She currently lives under the Hakurei Shrine in a replica Hell she made for herself.

### Personality

Clownpiece is similar in nature to many of the other fairies in Touhou: she is playful, mischievous, childish, and a little bit dumb. She enjoys the aesthetics of Hell, often leading to strange looks from others; however, this is because it reminds her of home. She enjoys pranking anybody she can, friends included. She often joins the Three Fairies of Light in their own schemes, pranks, and adventures, and has a little bit of a rivalry with Cirno over the title of the "strongest". Generally, she is a fun-loving person who's also a little bit ignorant of her surroundings: she's set fire to the Hakurei Shrine by accident on more than one occasion.

### Abilities

**Driving people to madness**

With the flame of her torch, Clownpiece is able to drive others insane. According to herself, any human looking at the light of her torch would be unable to maintain their sanity, making her able to mess with their minds.[1] In the Human Village, she used this ability to make villagers extremely irritable and short-tempered, attacking each other for trivial reasons. She can also use this madness to increase the strength of other fairies and herself.
Clownpiece claims that, while this may seem like an unusual power for a nature spirit, it's nothing strange in Hell where "nature" consists mainly of the souls of the dead. The torch itself is made with the lifeforce of those that fell in Hell.[2]
**Making lifeforce go berserk**

The true power of Clownpiece's flame is revealed by Eternity Larva, who recognized the power she experienced during the Four Seasons incident. The flame of the torch is able to affect the lifeforce and make it go berserk. Eternity used this power in full winter to instantly make it summer near the Hakurei Shrine, filling bare trees with leaves, and even turning some of them into palm trees. Although this completely consumed the torch's fire, she assumed it would eventually be back on its own.[2]
**Embodiment of impurity**

Clownpiece was among the fairies exposed to Junko's abilities prior to the events of *Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom*, transforming her into a being of pure lifeforce whom the Lunarians could not fight without becoming permanently tainted. It's unclear whether this is still true by the time she comes to Gensokyo.
## Background Information
