Clownpiece is a boss character from Touhou Kanjuden - Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. She also acts as the main protagonist for the printwork Touhou Sangetsusei - Visionary Fairies in Shrine.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Clownpiece is a hell fairy, and more specifically a lampad from ancient Greek myth. She usually carries a torch that can make the lifeforce of other beings go berserk - which effectively means driving people insane to the point they will attack one another over the slightest perceived wrongdoings.
During the events of Legacy in Lunatic Kingdom, she and numerous other fairies were "purified" by Junko to turn them into raw embodiments of lifeforce. This, in turn, made them anathema to the forces of the moon-based Lunarians, and their subsequent invasion of the moon caused the latter to evacuate to the dream world. Her stars-and-stripes dress actually is the very American flag left behind by American astronauts during the Apollo Mission, an event the notoriously xenophobic Lunarians do not remember overly fondly.
Although having been defeated on the moon, the hell goddess Hecatia Lapislazuli rewarded Clownpiece by allowing her to live in Gensokyo instead of Hell. There, she teamed up with the Three Fairies of Light and nowadays spends most of her time playing pranks on people.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Being 150% American, it was only fitting that Clownpiece accompanied the equally American Kurt Angle during 8chanmania XX. Yet their patriotism wasn't strong enough, and they promptly were beaten by Masahiro Chono and Ryuji Goda - namely through a KO on the part of Clownpiece herself.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Clownpiece's stated ability to "drive people mad" extends to a meta-level, as her boss fight in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom is generally considered one of the most frustrating difficulty spikes in the entire series.
