One of the many characters in the Touhou Project, she is a Youkai who has the power to manipulate darkness.

Overview

Rumia is a Youkai who has the power to manipulate darkness, however, it seems she is only powerful enough to make daytime seem like late-evening. During the events of The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she is attacked by the heroine for no reason, and thus has no actual role in the main story. She seems to be quit simple minded.

She has red eyes and short blonde hair, and she wears a black vest and skirt, as well as a white blouse. She has a small, red amulet tied to the left side of her hair, which makes it look like a ribbon.

Trivia

Rumia is the first person to use the Spell Card system in the history of the series.
Although her ability, "Manipulation of darkness", seems strong, she is featured as the boss of the first stage in both The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and Shoot the Bullet, meaning she is rather weak. This seems to be a joke from ZUN.
Rumia is mostly seen with her arms spread-out, claiming that it looks like "The Saint was crucified", which makes her seem rather childish.
It is rumoured that her amulet is actualy a seal, and that if it is removed, her true powers will be unleashed. There have even been Doujinshi (self-published manga) where, when Rumia's amulet is removed, she develops an Ex form where she has large wings and wields a giant sword.
Rumia tends to hide in her own field of darkness, so she can escape the sunlight and the heat of summer, as she doesn't react well to them. However, she cannot see out of it, causing her to bump into many objects while she is wandering around Gensokyo.
