クラウンピース
Clownpiece
Clownpiece (also called "Piece") is a playful, mischievous fairy with a fondness for pranks. She joins the Three Fairies of Light in their schemes and adventures, including a performance to make the Hakurei Shrine's cherry blossoms bloom (Visionary Fairies in Shrine Ch. 6).
She struggles to follow the Three Fairies' introductions when they first meet (VFiS Ch. 1). Later, she joins a gathering in the Garden of the Sun to help the crystallized fairies, defying Hecatia's orders to collect them for Hell (VFiS Ch. 14–15). She refuses to send innocent companions there. When Cirno dismisses Okina as bluffing, Clownpiece recognizes her overwhelming power and questions Cirno's judgment (VFiS Ch. 15).
Clownpiece lives beneath the Hakurei Shrine after Hecatia sends her to Gensokyo. Hecatia intends to learn about its fairies and eventually reproduce its nature in Hell (VFiS Ch. 15). Clownpiece's official profile describes the lunar surface as desolate, yet beautiful and fun compared to Hell (Th15/omake.txt).
When Clownpiece threatens to set the Hakurei Shrine's main building on fire, Eternity Larva talks her out of it. She then takes the torch and uses its power over life force to turn the winter shrine grounds into a summer landscape with leafy trees and palms (VFiS Ch. 9, Part 2).

Stage 5 Boss - Fairy of Hell
Clownpiece
Species: Fairy
Ability: Capable of driving people mad
A fairy from Hell. One of Hecatia's subordinates.
Fairies can be found just about anywhere; Hell is no different. However, the Lunarians eliminate fairies, as they reject life and death. There are almost no fairies around the Lunar Capital.
Under Hecatia's orders, she filled the Sea of Tranquility with fairies she brought with her from Hell. Thanks to her and her friends, the Sea of Tranquility was transformed into a fairy playland.
Then, thanks to Junko's ability, they were awakened. They can be said to be a mass of totally pristine life energy.
"If you play around here, the Lunarians will be unable to act. As long as nobody goes and sullies themselves with impurity, they'll be completely trapped."
...that's what she was told. So, she played to her heart's content.
The lunar surface was a desolate world, but compared to Hell, it was still beautiful and fun. The fairies played and frolicked. Just by doing that, the Lunarians were bound in place.
Though the Lunar Capital showed no signs of action for a long time, a human flew over from there at last.
"If anyone comes from the Lunar Capital, go wild. Do anything you like." As she remembered being told that, she was as ecstatic as could be.

○５面ボス 地獄の妖精
クラウンピース
Clownpiece
種族：妖精
能力：人を狂わす程度の能力
地獄の妖精。ヘカーティアの部下である。
妖精は大抵の場所にいる。勿論地獄にもいる。しかし、生死を拒絶した月の民は妖精を排除する。月の都の周りには妖精は殆どいない。
彼女はヘカーティアに命令されて、静かの海を地獄から連れてきた妖精達で満たした。静かの海は彼女の仲間で妖精ランドと化していた。
そして純狐の能力により、彼女達は覚醒した。その存在は、純粋なる生命力の塊と言えた。
「お前達がここらで遊んでいてくれれば、月の民は手が出せない。好き好んで穢れようとする奴がいない限り、月の民は籠城する」
と言われて、彼女は大いに遊んだ。
月面は、荒涼とした世界だったが、地獄に比べればまだ美しく、楽しい世界だった。妖精達は大いにはしゃいだ。それがまた、月の民を縛り付けた。
そして今回、長い間、月の都は動きを見せなかったが、ついに人間が都から飛び出してきた。
「もし、月の都から出てくる者があったら、何をしても良い」そう言われていたのを思いだした彼女は、最高の気分だった。

“She chose that look after seeing the American flag at the Sea of Tranquility... is how the story goes.”
