Strange Creators of Outer World (Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo - Everlasting Edition)

Keiki Haniyasushin (埴安神 袿姫 Haniyasushin Keiki) est une déesse invoquée par les esprits humains et agit comme la principale antagoniste de Wily Beast and Weakest Creature.

Informations Générales

Keiki debuts as the final boss in Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, acting as a force of opposition to the animal spirits possessing the protagonists.

Personnalité

Keiki is quite polite and doesn't fight if she can avoid it, but this attitude presented seems to mostly extend to only humans. On one hand, at first, she tries to convince the protagonist that fighting her would be against their interests. On the other hand, she also boasts of thinking no one was left to defeat her in battle and is quick to engage the possessed protagonist once finding out about the animal spirit's plan to invade and relinquish her control over the Primate Spirit Garden. However, despite her intention to liberate the human spirits and act as a venerable force, she still expresses that she was planning to cooperate with the animal spirits in a conversation with Yachie, suggesting more reasonable intent, which Yachie subsequently rejects.

Pouvoirs

Ability to create idols

She can craft idols, which are animated by faith directed into them. Wily Beast and Weakest Creature indirectly compares this ability to the creation of a goshintai.

Aside from haniwa, idols crafted by Keiki can also take the form of other objects associated with kofun burials, such as bronze bells, mirrors, swords, and magatama. According to Mayumi, anything Keiki crafts will end up with a soul inhabiting it.

Apparence du Personnage

Origine

Keiki seems to be based on Haniyasu (ハニヤス), a Shinto god of soil, agriculture, and pottery. According to the Kojiki, when Izanami died after giving birth to Kagu-tsuchi, multiple gods emerged from her bodily remains. Two gods of soil were born from her feces: a god named Haniyasubiko no Kami(波邇夜須毘古神), and a goddess named Haniyasuhime no Kami (波邇夜須毘売神). Both of these gods are often conflated into a singular entity known as Haniyasu. In the Nihon Shoki, only one deity is born this way instead, a goddess called Haniyamahime.

Many Haniyasu shrines are located in the Fukuoka prefecture, which is also known for its unique, elaborately decorated burial mounds (装飾古墳). Some of the painted decorations found in them resemble the patterns on the edge of Keiki's dress and sleeves.

Keiki's outfit is based on a variety of so-called "priestess haniwa," thought to represent clergywomen or mediums, and usually used as the basis of reconstructions of Kofun era women's clothing. Both the asymmetrical outerwear and the headkerchief Keiki wears are common features of this type of haniwa.

Her necklace consists out of magatama, comma-shaped beads produced between the Jomon and Kofun periods, initially worn as ordinary jewelry, but viewed exclusively as ritual objects and symbols of divinity in later times.

Nom

Her full name is Keiki Haniyasushin.

Her surname is Haniyasushin (埴安神). Haniyasu (埴安) is taken from the name of the kami on which she is based, and comprises the characters for "clay" and "ease". The last character, shin (神), loosely means "god", and is present in the names of various kami throughout Shinto mythology.

Her given name is Keiki (袿姫). The kei (袿) refers to uchigi, a colorful robe that was often worn in several layers as part of a jūnihitoe, a formal dress worn by ladies-in-waiting at the Japanese Imperial Court during the Heian period and are also worn at important ceremonial functions such as weddings and enthronements. The character ki (姫) means "princess" or any lady of noble birth. Thus, Keiki (袿姫) roughly means "uchigi princess".

Design

Keiki's design seems to be based on reconstructions of Kofun period clothing. She wears a green headkerchief, similar to these commonly seen on the so-called "priestess" haniwa, and a dress and apron likely also based on haniwa outfits. The spiral decorations on her dress are similar to paintings from some of the ornamented kofun from the Fukuoka prefecture. Her necklace consists out of a number of multicolored magatama, comma-shaped beads often used as a symbol of divinity, and described as a frequent offering for the gods in early Japanese chronicles.

In Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, she holds a variety of contemporary sculpting tools in her hands.

Apparitions de Keiki

Wily Beast and Weakest Creature

The final boss of the game. She immediately recognizes the animal spirit that took possession of the protagonist, but wonders why it has the form of a human. After seeing that she is facing a human under the influence of an animal spirit, she sees through the animal spirits' plan, mocks it, and tries to convince the protagonist to side with her. After the latter doesn't give in (or, as in Youmu's case, thinks back and forth for too long), Keiki attacks them.

Unbeknownst to both the Protagonist and the animal spirit that took control of the protagonist, the entire conversation with Keiki was merely used to stall time so Keiki could charge up her sculpturing arts, by which every single beast spirit was defeated. Upon realizing this, the animal spirit that took control over the protagonist panics and urges them to flee, which causes Keiki to start chasing them out of the Primate Spirit Garden, the ensuing battle occurs throughout several locations in the Animal Realm such as high above a city, or at ground level in a city, Keiki is only defeated after an overwhelming force of animal spirits come to the protagonists' aid.

Relations

Mayumi Joutouguu

Mayumi was pottered by Keiki as the leader of her Haniwa army. She doesn't talk about her creation in her dialogues, but since Mayumi is clearly more elaborate and human-like than the idols they both use in their battles, Keiki seems to have made an effort with her. There's also nothing to say that she didn't give her a real personality. Mayumi shows a lot of loyalty and respect towards her.

Yachie Kicchou and other animal spirits.

Keiki looks down on animal spirits and titles all three options with insults - keiga (strong-teeth, including wolves with Saki Kurokoma as leader) have more teeth than brains, kiketsu (onimeisters, including the otters, under the command of Yachie Kicchou) stink, and the gouyoku (festive spirits, including eagles) have no abilities other than pride. (At least with her statements about wolves and eagles, she seems to have a point). Later, however, she converses quite amiably with Yachie, but she dismisses this matter-of-factly and sees Keiki as out of place in hell.

Saki Kurokoma

Keiki also doesn't talk about Saki, as she is introduced after her, but it is known that Saki is impressed by the strength of the goddess, despite her dislike.

Relations Mineurs

Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame

Keiki acts friendly towards the protagonists in the endings, and offers to craft a goshintai for the Hakurei god and a figure of Marisa. Marisa appears to have a positive opinion about Keiki, as she isn't sure why the beast spirits hate her, and visits her domain after the events of the game.
