She's one of the many, many youkai rabbits that lives at and guards Eientei, a mansion deep in a bamboo forest - though she's the one all the earth rabbits actually listen to. Because Tewi is known to help lost people find their way and sometimes grants good fortune, she's one of the few youkai that's not harmful to humans at all (as long as you aren't trying to invade Eientei).

She is also known for sometimes lying, she even tries to scam Aya out of pocket change during Phantasmagoria of Flower View.

Perfect Memento[/h]

- Main place of activity : Bamboo Forest of Lost.

- Tewi Inaba is the youkai rabbit that serves as the leader of the wild rabbits.

- She is a rabbit who has managed to live a long life by taking good care of her health.

- She can assume human form and understand human speech.

- This youkai rabbit is also known as the Rabbit of Good Fortune, and it's said that those who see her have good luck.

- However, not only is she very fleet-footed, but she spends much of her time in the Bamboo Forest, so it isn't very easy to find her.

- She has a very mischievous personality, but can be cowardly, and is shifty.

- It's said she spends most of her time in the Bamboo Forest and lives at Eientei.

- In fact, she has lived in the Bamboo Forest since before Eientei was constructed, and is said to be one of the longest living youkai in Gensokyo.

Bunbunmaru Trivia

# Unlike Reisen, Tewi's title of "Inaba" is assigned Kanji characters, which refer to the old Inaba Province in the Kansai era. "The White Hare of Inaba" is mentioned in the Kojiki.

# It is said that ordinary animals who live a long time may develop profound magical abilities. Tewi is one of them.

# The "wi" (ゐ) in Tewi is a kana that was removed from official Japanese language use by the post-war government in 1954. In present day Japanese, her name is pronounced "Tei". The kana "wi" (ゐ) is still used artistically or stylistically as it is here in the case of Tewi (or cf. Nikka Brand Whiskey "ニッカウヰスキー"), and is similar to "thy" or "thou" in English: recognizable and still used, but almost never for official documents. Additionally, since she's at least 1300 years old, she would have received her name centuries before "wi" (ゐ) was legislated out of official use by the government.

# Tewi's spellcard "Ancient Duper" is likely to be based on a story from the Kojiki, The White Hare of Inaba.

# She seems to be much of a prankster, both in fan and official work such as in Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth and Eastern and Little Nature Deity. The most common victim is Reisen Udongein Inaba . Despite being older than Reisen, she often acts in a childish manner compared to the Moon Rabbit.

# In Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, she's depicted as being fond of beer.

# Tewi is the only original Midboss character to become a fully playable character.

Ah, and before I forgot...here's a new fanmade comic recommendation to go with Eientei theme this time :3

Mamange by koyama shigeru

Meet mama Udonge who is raising child version of the rest of Eientei crew. This is one of my many favorite HHNNNGGGGGG inducing series.

I like to know where to get the manga, I been reading it on Gelbooru. and it's cute

lol Yama.

HNGGG!!! thanks for the uploads, Mello. thank you very very much,os gracias XD

A very Touhou year.

Mello still cannot beat the final boss of Touhouvania II despite trying for a good 2 hours memorizing the pattern, figuring out how to dodge, but 3 boss fights in a row is pretty intense, even with 20 lives. :(

I can't get enough of the voices. So awesome. >:

Sometimes been lazy to read, might make me prevent stupid questions....
