Eirin Yagokoro (八意 永琳 Yagokoro Eirin) est l'une des principales antagonistes d'Imperishable Night, c'est une génie de la médecine originaire de la Lune, capable de créer l'Élexir d'Hourai, un élixir capable de devenir immortel avec l'aide des pouvoirs de Kaguya. Elle vit en exil à Gensokyo après s'être décidée de se dévouer à Kaguya Houraisan sur Terre plutôt que de la ramener sur la Lune. C'est une personnalité très connue sur la Lune, ayant non seulement joué un rôle dans la fondation de la société lunaire avec Tsukuyomi, elle est également par ses connaissances médicales, la personne en charge des émissaires de la Lune sur la Terre.

Informations Générales

Elle est apparue pour la première fois en tant que deuxième boss final dans Imperishable Night, elle est également présente au stage 9 de Shoot the Bullet. Elle est impliquée durant les évènements de Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.

Occupation

Après les événements d'Imperishable Night, Eirin a commencé à utiliser ses connaissances en médecine pour agir en tant que première pharmacienne de Gensokyo, vendant des médicaments à Eientei allant des somnifères à divers remèdes. Vous pouvez lui rendre visite comme vous rendez visite à un médecin normal, et elle peut même prescrire des médicaments pour des maladies obscures. Ses médicaments sont bien connus pour fonctionner sans effets secondaires, bien que la médecine youkai et la médecine humaine ne doivent jamais être mélangées. Il est raisonnable de croire que ses médicaments viennent de la Lune ou sont elles sont développés avec la technologie Lunaire. Le médicament est non seulement efficace mais à en plus un prix raisonnable. Heureusement, Eirin n'est pas difficile en matière de paiement. elle attendra probablement que vous la payiez plus tard. On pense du moins qu'Eirin pourrait avoir une autre raison de démarrer cette entreprise que le profit.

Personalité

Eirin est une personne énigmatique entourée de nombreux mystères et ses explications à son sujet sont incohérentes. Elle est généralement une personne assez agréable et se consacre à servir son alliée, Kaguya, en raison de son intelligence incroyablement élevée, elle peut paraître comme prétentieuse, impatiente et parfois condescendante envers ceux qui ne suivent pas immédiatement ses ordres. Cependant, elle semble manquer de bon sens en général, probablement parce qu'elle n'est pas habituée à vivre avec des humains.

Capacités

Concevoir n'importe quel médicament

Elle peut fabriquer toutes sortes de traitements, allant des médicaments contre le rhume ordinaire aux médicaments qui peuvent manipuler les rêves. Comme on pouvait s'y attendre, elle n'est pas en mesure de fabriquer des médicaments dont les effets altère physiquement le patient, ni de fabriquer le médicament si elle n'a pas les ingrédients nécessaires. Bien qu'elle ait fabriqué l'Élexir d'Hourai, elle l'a fait en utilisant la capacité de Kaguya.

Génie inné

On dit d'Eirin comme étant très intelligente mais qui a aussi tendance à considérer ceux autour d'elle comme moins développée. Elle est issue de la famille Yagokoro, une lignée de génies de la médecin et même parmi eux, Eirin est exceptionnellement intelligente. Pour cette raison, Eirin est rarement comprise par ses pairs.

Immortalité

Ce n'est pas spécifié dans son profil, mais Eirin révèle à Yuyuko dans la Bonne Fin d'Imperishable Night qu'elle a pris un médicament fabriqué avec la capacité de Kaguya et qu'elle ne peut donc pas mourir. La réponse de Yuyuko et la suite de la narration confirment que cela fait référence au fait qu'Eirin est devenue immortelle, à partir de l'élixir Hourai.

Capacités divers

Outre ses connaissances médicales, Eirin semble être très douée dans diverses formes de magie. Par exemple, dans Imperishable Night, elle a scellé toute la Terre, empêchant quoi que ce soit ou quiconque de l'atteindre ou de la quitter. De plus, elle a remplacé la vraie Lune par une fausse capable de tromper les héroïnes avec une illusion. D'après elle, cela n'était à peine son plus puissant sort, ce qui signifie qu'elle est probablement capable d'utiliser d'autres types de sorcellerie bien plus puissants que celui-ci[3].

Possessions

Arc et des flèches

Eirin manie un arc et des flèches. Elle l'utilise vraisemblablement durant ses spellcards.

Passé

A long time ago, Eirin was the Sage of the Moon; with her high intelligence and the aid of the former Princess of the Moon, Kaguya, she created the Hourai Elixir and gave it to her. As a result, Kaguya was exiled to Earth as a punishment for drinking the elixir. A few years later, Kaguya had been allowed to return to the moon and, along with other Lunarians, Eirin was sent to Earth as an emissary from the Moon. Eirin felt sorry for Kaguya because she herself wasn't punished even though she was the one who made the elixir. Her desire for redemption was so strong that she was ready to do anything for Kaguya, and so she killed all the other emissaries and decided to live on Earth with Kaguya as her own punishment.

After living a few hundred years hidden in the Bamboo Forest of Gensokyo, her whereabouts were discovered by the Moon, and led to the Eternal Night Incident, but at the time the incident was resolved, she came to know that even if she did not try to hide the Moon, the Envoys of the Moon wouldn't be able to come here. She has been living as a resident of Gensokyo thereafter.

Origin

Eirin might be based on Ame no Yagokoro Omoikane no Mikoto (天八意思兼命), the god who thought of the plan to lure Amaterasu out of hiding. This can be seen by her spell card, and by the correlation between Eirin's sharp intellect and Omoikane's. (Takami-Musubi is also very strongly associated with intellectual facilities.) The interrelationships of various lunar figures presents a more interesting situation. Eirin is distantly related to the Watatsuki sisters, both based on mythology. In the third chapter of Cage in Lunatic Runagate, Watatsuki no Toyohime mentions that Eirin's participation was critical to the founding of the lunar capital, and that she was older even than Tsukuyomi. Omoikane is the son of Takami-Musubi, one of the great gods that summoned Izanagi and Izanami into existence, but it's unclear whether Omoikane was born before the creation of the Japanese islands, which also saw the births of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. Regardless of whether she is "meant to be" Omoikane, Eirin clearly draws on Omoikane in many ways.

Name

Her full name is Eirin Yagokoro (八意 永琳). The characters for Yagokoro (八意) literally means "eight minds" and Eirin (永琳), "eternal jewel". The number 8 in Japanese culture signifies the sacred and the infinite, and is often used indefinitely to mean "many" or "countless" (as in the Eight Million Gods). Gokoro is an ancient reading for , which could indicate something about heart or mind. So her whole name could mean "Intelligence of eternally clear brightness over infinitely extended area", referring her to be the "Mind of God". It is revealed in Silent Sinner in Blue that "Eirin" is merely her earth name, her true Lunarian first name being unpronounceable to the impure earthling tongue. Regardless of "Yagokoro" in both cases. She is strongly implied to be Omoikane.

Design

Eirin has dark grey eyes, long silver hair, has a large braid on her back and carries a strange pair of bow and arrow. Her clothing is red and blue and is covered with constellation patterns. She also wears something similar to a nurse's cap.

Eirin's clothing has trigrams (broken and solid Yin/Yang lines) lining the bottom hem. They appear to be the complete set of trigrams used in Feng Shui, and match the set of trigrams on the Hakkero.

Apparitions d'Eirin Yagokoro

Games

Imperishable Night
Eirin's sprite in IN

During the events of Imperishable Night, Eirin attempted to seal the passage between the Earth and Moon, which opens every full moon, by casting a spell that would seal the Earth inside a chamber (similar to a Chinese folktale about a paradise found inside a pot). She only meant to do this to protect both Kaguya and Reisen so that the emissaries coming from the Moon wouldn't be able to reach them, but this did not go unnoticed by the various Youkai in Gensokyo who enjoy the moonlight.

Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom

Eirin is involved in the backstory of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. The Moon habitants decided to make an invasion to Gensokyo with the intent of purifying it. Moon rabbits and mechanical spiders are razing the place and leaving a lifeless Earth. Gensokyo's humans can't fight by themselves, because a simple error means death, and it also looks like the youkai for some reason can't interfere with the purification, but Eirin planned ahead for such event and made a medicine that allows the user to see the close future. She sends Reisen to give the medicine to Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Sanae Kochiya and resolve the incident. This medicine is the tool that allows the Pointdevice gameplay mode, in which the player cannot get hit once.

Spin-offs

Shoot the Bullet

In Shoot the Bullet, Aya Shameimaru encountered Eirin on stage 9 and took photos of her danmaku.

Hopeless Masquerade

Eirin made a background cameo appearance in Hopeless Masquerade on the Human Village stage. She is seen sitting on a bench with Tewi Inaba, Kaguya Houraisan and Reisen Udongein Inaba drinking something.

Littérature

Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red

Eirin has created a new medicine called the Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees that one will have a pleasant dream. She says that since the youkai of Gensokyo rarely suffer from physical ailments, she began developing medicine for spiritual ailments instead. This particular medicine is ancient, but humans who took it in the past often found their dreams too enjoyable and never returned from the dream world, so Eirin has weakened its potency and made it safe to use. She also has a variety which causes nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.

In the interview, Eirin remarks that only a few people have come to buy the pill, even though it was a featured article in Aya's newspaper. Aya admits she doesn't have many readers. She is curious who is buying the medicine; Eirin is initially reluctant to say, but then reveals that it was Alice Margatroid. Aya mentions that she tried the pill herself, but found the dream uninteresting. Eirin suggests that she try Kochoumugan Nightmare Type (a scene in Shoot the Bullet).

Relations

Kaguya Houraisan (Fellow Exile, Mistress)

Kaguya is Eirin's master and friend. She made the Hourai Elixir for Kaguya which resulted in her banishment. Feeling regretful, when she was sent to Earth to bring her back on the Moon, she killed the other emissaries and helped Kaguya with hiding herself. Now she serves Kaguya faithfully at Eientei.

Reisen Udongein Inaba (Apprentice)

Eirin's servant. Eirin has employed Reisen's telepathic abilities to gain intelligence on the Lunar capital. She also sends Reisen to the Human Village to sell her medicine.

Tewi Inaba (Allied Earth Rabbit)

Tewi made a deal with Eirin to defend Eientei in exchange for Eirin imparting her knowledge to the rabbits. Thus Eirin is an ally, employer and teacher to Tewi and Tewi appropriately addresses her as Master. Eirin realizes Tewi's importance to Eientei due to her control over the rabbits and despite Tewi's pranks, knows that Tewi is there whenever they really need her, should the circumstance arise.

Sakuya Izayoi (Unknown)

According to Eirin's profile, Eirin was very surprised to see Sakuya during the events of Imperishable Night. Though what relationship they have are unknown since only Eirin knows the reason why.

Watatsuki no Toyohime & Watatsuki no Yorihime (Former Student, Distant Relative)

Eirin was a teacher to both Toyohime and Yorihime. They both respect Eirin with much admiration even after Eirin became a fugitive. They both are also distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son[4]),

Lord Tsukuyomi (Relative, Lunar Capital Co-Founder)

Not much was known how close they are, however they both founded the lunar capital together, so they could have been in good terms. It's unknown if their relationship remains the same after Eirin's desertion.

Medicine Melancholy

After learning of Medicine from Reisen, Eirin goes to the Nameless Hill to meet her. Eirin takes an interest of her thanks to her poison abilities.

Minor Relationships

Alice Margatroid (Recurring Customer)

Alice regularly purchases the Butterfly Dream Pill from Eirin.

Trivia

  • Eirin's profile states that she killed the other messengers sent with her. Kaguya's profile describes these messengers as "emissaries". Later official works would state that moon rabbits are trained as lunar emissaries, and it is unconfirmed if any of the emissaries were Lunarians. Given that rabbits are viewed merely as tools by the Lunarians, this may explain why the severity of murdering the other emissaries isn't emphasized whenever Eirin's crime of helping the princess comes up. Eirin has also made it clear in both Cage in Lunatic Runagate and chapter 2 in Silent Sinner in Blue that she has no qualms with killing moon rabbits should situation make her go to such lengths.
  • Eirin has a Spell Card named "Apollo 13" after the aborted third American moon mission launched in April 1970. The spell card's spell sign is "Curse of the Heavens", and seems to imply that it was Lunarian magic, not mechanical failure, that critically damaged the spacecraft and forced it to abandon its lunar landing so as to forestall the "invasion". It's also stated that the Lunarians know why the number 13 is cursed. Eirin in Silent Sinner in Blue reveals that the Apollo series failed because the sun ("Apollo") is incompatible with the back side of the moon, and Cage in Lunatic Runagate's 2nd chapter mentions Lunarian technology while talking about the humans' failure to establish a base on the moon, implying Lunarian sabotage.
  • Eirin had recently developed a medicine called Kochoumugan (Butterfly Dream Pill), which guarantees the person who takes it will have a pleasant dream once they fall asleep. The medicine was featured in an article in the Bunbunmaru Newspaper, but still remains fairly unpopular (mostly due to the fact that the paper itself isn't too popular). There is one customer, Alice Margatroid, who has returned numerous times to purchase the medicine however, although the reasons why were never disclosed.
  • In Tibetan Buddhism, the bow held in the right hand with an arrow in the left (as Eirin holds them) is a symbol of wisdom as a means of projecting method or skillful means.
  • The bow and the arrow are a possible reference to the huntress and Greek moon goddess Artemis (sister of Apollo; In Imperishable Night, ZUN made a joke about Apollo being the sun god, so he surely knows about Artemis). Artemis (or her bow) sometimes represents the crescent moon, symbol of full maturity in the cycle of life (it suits Eirin very well).
    • Artemis is often assimilated to Selene (the personification of the moon), which is the root of Selenium, a non-metal antioxidant sometimes used as a medicine but toxic in large quantity to human beings. Antioxidants are known to improve life expectancy.
    • Ursa Major, one of the constellations on Eirin's clothes, was originally Callisto, a servant of Artemis.
    • It is also confirmed that ZUN is aware of the bow representing the crescent moon. In Cage in Lunatic Runagate Chapter 5, Yukari is unable to see the crescent moon due to a storm, and wonders if it's because there is no one on the moon who wields a bow anymore.
  • In Chinese mythology, Houyi was a god of archery banished from heaven. He was married to Chang'e, Kaguya's Chinese equivalent. According to legends, he received the last two immortal elixirs from Xi Wangmu of Kunlun mountains in the west. Chang'e drank them both, who then ascended to the moon.
