"Looks like it's going to be a fun night."
"Looks like it's going to be a long night."
— Remilia Scarlet and Reimu Hakurei (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Stage 6.)

Remilia Scarlet (レミリア・スカーレット Remiria Sukāretto) is a vampire who is the head of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is the sister of Flandre Scarlet, the mistress of Hong Meiling and Sakuya Izayoi as well as the other fairy maids and the friend of Patchouli Knowledge. She first appears as the Stage 6 boss and main antagonist of the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and has been a playable character in multiple games since Imperishable Night, in a team with Sakuya, and Immaterial and Missing Power as well.

General Information

Personality

Despite having lived for a long time, she is somewhat childish and selfish, being able to act as egoistical as she wants due to the fear other youkai feel toward her kind.[1][2] She's really proud of her physical capabilities and acts superior to others in an overblown and grandiose fashion.[3][4] She swears she's the descendant of Vlad Tepes despite the fact that it isn't true.[5] As time goes on, she ends up enjoying more and more novel things[6] and isn't above playing along in silly games[7] or allowing herself to be manipulated if it means staving off boredom.[8] Possessing inexhaustible curiosity,[9] ZUN also describes her as the kind to find her own adventures without being self-aware about it.[10] Like most vampires, she can be surprisingly polite and kind.[9]

Abilities

Abilities as a vampire

Characteristically of vampires, Remilia has tremendous physical abilities and magical power, which according to Akyuu would allow one to uproot a thousand-year-old tree single-handedly and to run through the Human Village in a flash. While the true extent of these capabilities is unknown, Remilia's profile in Immaterial and Missing Power describes her as being "faster than the eye can follow, and strong enough to crush boulders".[1] While facing off against Watatsuki no Yorihime, she claims to have flown around the Moon in an instant.[11] Vampires also have the ability to summon and manipulate a great number of devils with a single shout, and to turn into a swarm of bats or even mist to escape or dodge attacks.[12] Additionally, in exchange for their growth and maturity, vampires like Remilia attained eternal life, and as long as their head remains intact they can regrow their entire body in just one night.[1][13] Because vampires possess all of these capabilities, they are among the strongest species in Gensokyo.[12]

However, like other vampires, her skin gets burnt when exposed to sunlight,[11] or when touching roasted soybeans.[12] She also can't pass through flowing water such as rain or rivers[14] and isn't able to approach sardine heads or broken holly branches.[12]

Manipulation of fate

Remilia claims to be able to manipulate fate,[15] but she was never explicitly shown activating her ability. It appears that those in Remilia's vicinity are followed by bad fortune, even if Remilia is unaware of said person.[3] While wondering if Remilia uses her ability consciously, Akyuu claims that Remilia can also bring great changes in one's daily life with nothing more than a word. Citing as an example being more likely to encounter rare things.[9]

According to her little sister Flandre Scarlet, the true nature of the ability may be to know what happens in the future, with the example of this ability being shown when she supposedly predicted beforehand the exact hour and day a meteor would fall to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. However, Flandre also said that Remilia "just likes to talk that way" and that it thus may just be an act of pretense.[16]

Occupation

As the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, she typically remains inside the mansion during the day and emerges during the night, regularly taking walks or hosting parties where she sometimes even invites humans out of pure curiosity. Despite her weakness to sunlight, she can often be spotted going out during the day using a parasol.[9]

Backstory

Remilia's past prior to her arrival at Gensokyo is unclear, but her name, appearance, house, and clothing imply she is European in origin, and she has been stated to have come from "the west".[17] She has been the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion for about 500 years. She claims to be a descendant of one of the world's most notorious vampires: Count Vlad Ţepeş Dracul. However, this is a complete lie.[5]

Remilia and "The Vampire Incident"

It is not known how Remilia came to Gensokyo in the first place, but the Scarlet Devil Mansion (and thus presumably Remilia herself) were in Gensokyo at least as early as 1998. It is also known that when she came to Gensokyo, the Great Hakurei Barrier (erected in 1885) had been in place for a while, as at this point in Gensokyo's history, the youkai had lost much of their power from being unable to attack humans.

Upon arriving in Gensokyo, Remilia quickly gathered many subordinates and proceeded to go on a rampage. However, she was eventually defeated by powerful youkai. They settled on a devil's contract where the youkai would give her humans for food, and in exchange she would not attack the humans of Gensokyo. Such prohibition proved distasteful to many youkai, which led to talks with Reimu Hakurei to establish a set of ground rules for battle (It is unclear if Remilia was involved in these discussions). This culminated in the creation of the spell card rules. In 2003, almost immediately afterwards, another plot of Remilia's would lead to the first incident that used the system.

At the time In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Remilia was never directly stated to be the vampire behind "the Vampire Incident" (where a vampire first arrived and went on a rampage), so it was technically unconfirmed whether it was Remilia. Hieda no Akyuu states that any reference to the vampires in Gensokyo must be referencing the Scarlet family, which could mean the reader was supposed to assume the vampire in question is Remilia.[9] Later on, it was finally confirmed in Strange Creators of Outer World 2 that Remilia was indeed that vampire in the Vampire Incident.

Character Design

Remilia in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense.

Name

Her full name is Remilia Scarlet (レミリア・スカーレット) which, unlike most Touhou Project characters, gives a strong western feeling, likely French or British. The name "Remilia" is likely made-up by ZUN as a variant of "Emilia", which means "Rival; Emulating". "Scarlet" refers to a bright shade of the color red with a slight hint of orange and is a variant of "Scarlett" as a surname. The middle dot (・) in the middle of her name is used in foreign names to show where the next word begins.

Despite having a name, she is more commonly known as "the vampire", "the Scarlet Devil" (紅い悪魔) and sometimes "the mistress". It's actually quite uncommon for other residents of Gensokyo to refer to her proper name. However, Patchouli calls her Remi (レミィ).

Design

In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody's official art, Remilia has red eyes, short light-blue hair and a light-pink mob cap with a red ribbon decorated with white stripes. She wears a light-pink dress with a red ribbon on both sleeves (is seen with red trimmings in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil), a large red ribbon behind her waist with white stripes and a necklace featuring a Caduceus-like centerpiece. She also has a pair of large black bat-like wings on her back with a wingspan wider than her height. In Imperishable Night, she is seen without the necklace.

She is said to be about as tall as a girl in her early teens (10 to 14 years old).[18]

Alternative Outfits

Her alternate outfit in a palette from Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody has her dress red instead of pink and her hair blond. This color scheme looks similar to her sister's, Flandre Scarlet.

Appearances

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia decided to release a mist over Gensokyo to block out the sun and let her move freely during the day; after her scheme was discovered and halted, she was forced to use a parasol to shade herself when she wanted to move around during daylight hours (as mentioned in Immaterial and Missing Power). A speculation from Hieda no Akyuu, however, is that Remilia actually staged the entire incident and lost on purpose in order to show Sakuya Izayoi, who was having trouble adapting to Gensokyo's environment (possibly culture, given the context), that humans could be friends. There is nothing to prove this to be true, but nothing to really disprove it, either.

Remilia does take her loss with amazing stride in every single ending, where the only hint of anger she shows about losing was jokingly ribbing Marisa Kirisame that things would have been cooler with the mist, though in the Marisa B ending Sakuya does hide Marisa in the library so Remilia can't find her. In the Reimu A ending, Remilia comes to the shrine with a parasol of her own volition and doesn't seem annoyed at having to use a parasol, causing Reimu to ask why she bothered with the mist in the first place. Unfortunately, Reimu starts playfully(?) grappling Remilia before Remilia can answer.

Imperishable Night

In Imperishable Night, she heads out with Sakuya to punish the ones who took the full moon from the night sky since the fighting would be at night.

Immaterial and Missing Power
Main article: Immaterial and Missing Power: Remilia's Scenario

During her story mode, Remilia leaves the Scarlet Devil Mansion after convincing Sakuya that she should handle it herself. After running into Marisa Kirisame and beating her up, she claims that she will be the "star" of the upcoming feast. She goes to the Hakurei Shrine afterwards and defeats Reimu, repeating her intentions. She then defeats both Youmu Konpaku and Yuyuko Saigyouji. Finally she meets Yukari Yakumo, and demands to know who is behind the feasts happening every night. In the end Suika Ibuki appears and the vampire defeats her as well. During her ending, she tries to enjoy a full moon with Sakuya and they discuss what it means to have class.

Shoot the Bullet

In Shoot the Bullet, Aya Shameimaru encountered Remilia on stage 7 and took photos of her danmaku.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody
Main article: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody: Remilia's Scenario

In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she settles her "own" investigation by ordering Sakuya Izayoi to drag the suspects to her, in order to find the culprit, figuring later that the culprit is above the mountains, where she is very prone to the light.

Touhou Hisoutensoku
Main article: Touhou Hisoutensoku: Remilia's Scenario

If Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is connected with Touhou Hisoutensoku, then Remilia can become a selectable character to play with, although she appears in no scenarios. If the player places a custom parasol system card in Remilia's deck, she'll be able to fight in stages that has sunlight, although she isn't shown with a parasol on-screen.

Hopeless Masquerade
Remilia in HM

Remilia appears as a background cameo in Hopeless Masquerade on the Hakurei Shrine stage. She is sitting on a chair with Patchouli Knowledge and Sakuya Izayoi drinking some tea. She has a Fairy Maid hovering above her holding a parasol to block the sunlight.

Impossible Spell Card

After apparently reading the newspaper by the tengu about a mischief-making amanojaku, she becomes one of the many strong youkai and humans to try and stop Seija Kijin on the final day. She uses spell cards that are considered impossible to dodge.

Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red
The Scarlet Mist Incident, as illustrated in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.
Main article: Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Remilia

Aya Shameimaru writes an article about the scarlet mist that Remilia used to cause the Scarlet Mist Incident, describing the weird red rainbow it creates and it's wing-like pattern (more specifically, angel wings, that would clash with Remilia's position as a Devil). However, when interviewed, Remilia only explains the cause of the rainbow, saying that she doesn't know anything about the pattern and thus it had no real meaning. Patchouli Knowledge intervenes and after giving a more complete explanation about the scarlet rainbow, explains that the pattern is only a coincidence and it happened because Remilia releases the mist from her fingers, making it following the shape of the fingers themselves.

Main article: Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Flandre

Aya interviews Remilia, along with her sister, to get some information about the meteorite that exploded in the sky. While Flandre just describes how she destroyed the thing, Remilia explains that the meteorite was fated to fall on the Scarlet Devil Mansion right in the moment it happened, and that Flandre was also fated to be there destroying it. In a successive interview, Remilia again insists that it not only was fated to fall there, but also that the event was caused artificially and that someone forced it to do so, showing a fragment of the meteorite covered by magical runes.

Silent Sinner in Blue

With the help of Patchouli, Remilia is able to travel to the Moon together with Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya, using the Moon Rocket that uses Reimu's power. There they meet Watatsuki no Yorihime with various Moon rabbits and pick a fight with them, but they fight using the spell card rules to avoid bloodshed. After Yorihime defeats all of them, Remilia and the others (except Reimu) return to Earth. Despite suffering a crushing defeat from the Moon Princess, Remilia doesn't seem to be really bothered by it, and finds another way to pass time and amuse herself by building a fake indoor sea in the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

In Chapter 6 of Forbidden Scrollery, Remilia tells Reimu that she has found a rare animal from the outside world, a tupai, and is currently raising it. However, it goes missing, and it's assumed that it's behind the sake disappearances in the Human Village. In Chapter 7 this "tupai" is revealed to be a chupacabra that Remilia keeps as a pet and names Tupai.

Relationships

Residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion

Flandre Scarlet
Remilia and Flandre, as illustrated in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.

Flandre Scarlet is Remilia's younger sister. Flandre is stated to respect her sister, and Remilia cares for Flandre as shown where she is considering getting her a good tutor in Imperishable Night, but it is unknown how often the two interact. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states that it's rare (but not nonexistent) to see Flandre and Remilia together. However, they are seen depicted together many times such as in Forbidden Scrollery chapter 7 when they were looking at their pet Tupai and in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, which also shows that Remilia will at least allow Aya Shameimaru to interview Flandre in the first place. They also show up together in The Grimoire of Usami, Violet Detector, and Foul Detective Satori. The interview shows that although Flandre might respect her older sister, it's to the extent you'd expect a snarky child to. She is willing to outright state when she thinks Remilia is just spouting nonsense, at which point Remilia comes in with a comment that she shouldn't be talking about her older sister like that.

Sakuya Izayoi

Sakuya Izayoi serves Remilia Scarlet as the Head Maid without question, a servitude with which no one knows why either trusts each other so much (Perfect Memento in Strict Sense gives the most popular theory). She is often assigned to run errands relating to the current incidents, as Remilia cannot go outside without an umbrella. Sakuya follows Remilia's requests even when she knows it won't work, such as catching Lily White to catch Spring in Strange and Bright Nature Deity, because that's what her mistress wants. When Remilia playfully criticizes Sakuya for her failure to catch spring, she takes it in good stride and doesn't disagree. They are shown to be close friends, as Remilia forgives Sakuya even though she is not always competent in keeping away unwanted visitors, seen through her defeat by two humans in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. She will also do things for Remilia if Remilia doesn't even ask, like accompanying her in Imperishable Night and Immaterial and Missing Power. Despite her absolute subservience to her mistress, Sakuya is not afraid to lightly speak out on occasion, such as when she chastises Remilia in her Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Immaterial and Missing Power victory quotes for sneaking out food or playing around too much.

Patchouli Knowledge

Patchouli Knowledge is Remilia's friend. In Perfect Cherry Blossom ending, Remilia called Patchouli Pache (パチェ). The two have been depicted having tea and casual conversation together in Silent Sinner in Blue, Oriental Sacred Place and Strange and Bright Nature Deity, where Patchouli offhandedly commented that they're both creatures of the night. As stated in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Patchouli's role at the mansion is to solve problems (and to cause them), although it is uncertain if that means she's officially an employee or not. Regardless, Patchouli will often volunteer her services when she sees Remilia in need of them (such as causing a rainstorm to keep Flandre Scarlet confined to the Scarlet Devil Mansion when Flandre was trying to get out in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil). It is unknown how Patchouli came to live at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but she has been there for about one hundred years.

Hong Meiling

Hong Meiling guards the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and is thus an employee of Remilia's. Meiling serves her mistress faithfully and loyally (but not necessarily competently all the time), apologizing to her not-present mistress when she fails to defeat Reimu Hakurei or Marisa Kirisame in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. The only known depiction of an actual interaction between Meiling and Remilia in an official work is their win quotes to each other in Immaterial and Missing Power as well as Touhou Hisoutensoku, which depicts their interactions as a generally friendly one. Other interactions are stated in other works, however. Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red shows that Remilia likes to play pranks on Meiling quite often (the latest in the article being an order for Meiling to restore the garden to normal despite how Remilia knew it was beyond Meiling's ability to do so). Perfect Memento in Strict Sense also mentions that Remilia enjoys watching Meiling's duels with challengers at the gate. It is unknown how Meiling came to be under Remilia's employ or who hired her (an advertisement in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red shows that Sakuya Izayoi is the one currently in charge of hiring at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but that doesn't mean she was the one that hired Meiling).

Other servants

Similar to Meiling, the Fairy Maids must put up with Remilia's outrageous requests from time to time, as stated in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, and Remilia gets frustrated with her fairies in Silent Sinner in Blue when they turn out to be quite useless during their battle against Watatsuki no Yorihime and her rabbits. Punishments, however, are never mentioned or depicted, with Remilia only going so far as to make an angry comment on the subject. Presumably, Remilia knows how to manage her employees' needs well, as in Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 1, Remilia tells Sakuya Izayoi to let the maids relax, because if they get worked too hard, they'll get mental health issues. This chapter shows the maids conversing in an official work, where they're worried about an upcoming soy bean festival because those tend to put the mistress in a bad mood (and are difficult to clean up). Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states that employees of the Scarlet Devil Mansion are allowed to leave their jobs at any time, yet most end up staying. This also could imply that the employees of the Scarlet Devil Mansion are not bound by a devil's contract (not including Sakuya).

Following the events of Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 16, Remilia employs a number of hofgoblins as servants.

Koakuma is a devil seen in the library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion during Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. The relationship between her and Remilia is unknown, her official profile says that she lives in the Scarlet Devil Mansion so it could be said that she is technically under the employment of Remilia indirectly.

Tupai

Tupai is Remilia's pet chupacabra. It is implied that she somehow mistook it for an actual tupai, but still called it the "Tupai" anyway.

Reimu Hakurei

Remilia was indirectly involved in the discussions with Reimu Hakurei that led to the creation of the spell card rules. Certainly, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil was where Reimu first met the other residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and also where she discovered that Remilia was the mistress. Reimu's actual dialogue with Remilia herself, however, does not necessarily indicate whether they knew each other prior to that meeting or not. At any rate, after their battle in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia often drops by the Hakurei Shrine to hang out with Reimu. She is one of several youkai depicted when Reimu complains about youkai hanging around her shrine in Wild and Horned Hermit, and Reimu successfully argues in an early chapter of Strange and Bright Nature Deity that she should be allowed into a party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion because Remilia always comes to her shrine. Although Remilia is fond of Reimu, she still has a rivalry of sorts with the Shrine Maiden too and is more than happy to get into a duel with her, as shown in Imperishable Night and Remilia's storyline in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.

Aya Shameimaru

Like most characters, Remilia has been interviewed by Aya Shameimaru and is an involuntary source of news for her. Unlike other characters, however, Remilia seems to actually enjoy Aya's visits. Remilia plays along with Aya in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody pretending to be a monster in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and afterwards requests that Aya tell her if or when it gets in the news. She asks if she could be allowed to write an editorial for Aya's newspaper in her victory quote to Aya. Aya remarks to Hong Meiling in her Touhou Hisoutensoku quote that she has a lot to thank the Scarlet Devil Mansion for due to its mass subscriptions to her news paper and providing lots of scoops. Remilia still gets annoyed when Aya just assumes she can come into the Scarlet Devil Mansion without being invited at the end of Silent Sinner in Blue, but lets her come along anyways.

Yukari Yakumo

Yukari Yakumo used Remilia as part of her scheme to extract the residence tax and get revenge on the Lunarians in Silent Sinner in Blue. Patchouli reveals Remilia knew she was manipulated but didn't care, because she was bored. Remilia herself has an unexplained rivalry of sorts with Yukari, wanting to get to the Moon in her own way before Yukari could to surprise her. This rivalry might be due to the power struggle mentioned in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense's Vampire article, possibly starting with the Vampire Incident. The rivalry is mostly on Remilia's part, though Remilia has no objections to Yukari staying for the party at the end of Silent Sinner in Blue or assisting her with investigating in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.

Dialogue in Immaterial and Missing Power seems to imply they've already known each other before that game. It is possible they met at the Vampire Incident, and that Yukari was the one that signed "the contract" with Remilia.

Additional Information

  • While she is naturally known to drink human blood, with a particular preference for B-type blood,[2] her light appetite means her victims rarely die from their wounds. However, since she tends to stain her clothes a deep scarlet from the blood, she is also known to be called the Scarlet Devil (紅い悪魔 Akai akuma). [5]
    • According to Akyuu, she already had that nickname before moving to Gensokyo.[9]
  • Due to "The Young Descendant of Tepes", the title of the prelude theme to the final boss stage of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she has been sometimes linked to Count Dracula's lineage. This is because Dracula's full name is Vlad Ţepeş Dracul. While Remilia herself asserts that she is a literal descendant of Ţepeş, ZUN claims that she is lying.
  • Based on her being around 500 years old during the events of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Remilia was probably born sometime close to the year 1500.
  • The name of her spell card "Red Magic" is very likely a reference to a MORI Hiroshi novel "All become F" (すべてがFになる Subete ga F ni naru ~The Perfect Insider). In the novel, Redmagic is a name of an advanced OS developed by the genius Shiki Magata.
  • One of Remilia's spell card is named after Gungnir, the spear of Odin described as having the ability to always hit its mark.
  • It is quite coincidental that Remilia's appearance was in the 6th game of the Touhou Project. She is the Stage 6 boss, and the player will fight through 6 spell cards on that stage on any playable difficulty above Easy (Remilia has 5 spell cards total and Sakuya has 1 in her midboss appearance). When these numbers are all put together, it reads "666", which is said to be the Number of the beast in the Book of Revelations and is often associated with the Devil in pop culture.
  • Remilia's theme starts the same as Beethoven's Piano Sonata no.8 Pathetique, "3rd Movement".[19]
  • In Curiosities of Lotus Asia Chapter 4, Reimu Hakurei comments that Remilia should go back to her coffin. Remilia retorts that coffins are for the dead, indicating that she doesn't sleep in a coffin. In Imperishable Night's Scarlet Team Scenario, before battling Reimu, Remilia once again reminds her that she doesn't sleep in a coffin. Finally, in Oriental Sacred Place Chapter 15, released 7 years later, what's apparently the first canonical depiction of Remilia's bedroom is shown, and that she sleeps in a coffin (on a bed).
  • Her first 5 alternate pallets in Touhou Hisoutensoku resemble Flandre Scarlet, Patchouli Knowledge, Hong Meiling, Sakuya Izayoi, and Koakuma, respectively.
  • Despite her childish-girly appearance, she uses both a haughty "mistress" (～かしら？、～だわ) and a strong manly （～か？、～だ） speech patterns in her original Japanese lines. Unfortunately most of these nuances are difficult to translate into English.
  • She is able to write in English as shown in the Forbidden Scrollery Volume 2 extras with the letter she wrote to Kosuzu Motoori.
  • Shibata Masahiro's manga series "Sarai" seems to be a big inspiration for many of the characters from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Sarai is a manga about superpowered maids fighting youkai and monsters in a dystopian future. The series was published from 1997 to 2007 in Japan only.
  • ZUN thinks that if Remilia took the 16 personality types evaluation, she would be Adventurer (ISFP).<ref name="Dankagu2026">
