| ~ The most famous quote of Rumia, from Reimu's Scenario |
Rumia is a minor antagonist in the Touhou Project series, first appearing as the Stage 1 boss of the first game in Touhou Project: Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
She is a youkai who can manipulate darkness, but judging from what she says about her in her first appearance, she is only powerful enough to make it seem like late evening. Apparently she is quite simple-minded, but isn't featured in enough conversations for details about her personality to be revealed.
According to comments about her in the Bunbunmaru Newspaper and in Perfect Memento it seems that she's constantly surrounded by a mass/blob of darkness at all times except during the new moon and so is rarely actually seen in person. Despite her childish appearance, she's a man-eating youkai.
Biography[]
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil[]
She's attacks the heroines to attempt eat them, and has nothing to do with the main story.
Appearance[]
Rumia has red eyes, short blond hair, and wears a black vest and skirt, a white blouse, and a small red amulet tied to the left side of her hair, making it look like a ribbon. She can't touch it, nor can take it off. She usually spread her arms out, make it look like a cross.

Trivia[]
- ZUN has mentioned in his Interview that because it was the first Windows game, he set one of the concepts of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil as a deochi ("punch line on the entrance"), such as bringing Western youkai as bosses, even though the title is named Touhou ("Eastern"). Her ability "manipulation of darkness" is one of that instance. It sounds like if it was that of a final boss, yet she is only a stage 1 boss.
- Rumia's non-spell card attacks and her spell card Moon Sign "Moonlight Ray" are similar to the attacks of Mystic Square's first stage boss, Sara.
- Rumia references the phrase "Mankind adopted the decimal system" in Marisa's scenario of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. It comes from MORI Hiroshi's novel "Then There Were None ~ Thirty Little Indians" from "Slumber Erasing ~ Missing under the Mistletoe".
- Coming closer, Fukashi and Yōko waved their hands, then Moe Nishinosono
- spread her hands next to her face.
- This wasn't the gesture of Man adopting the decimal system
- The author commented this phrase was put in to show that she didn't spread her arms to the full extent like the character 十, but that she spread her ten fingers as if she'd counted to 10. Also, her sigil, shown on The Grimoire of Marisa depicts mistletoe.
