Three Fairies of Light | Touhou Project

The Three Fairies of Light is a small group of fairies composed of Sunny Milk, Luna Child, and Star Sapphire. They are known for causing mischief to humans by playing pranks on them using their powers. They reside in a treehouse near the Hakurei Shrine, located in the great Hakurei Barrier. However mischievous the fairies are, they sometimes happily openly spend time at the shrine while helping Reimu Hakurei out with various chores. They still like playing pranks on her, though.

Sunny Milk: Sunny is a fairy who is the leader of the Three Fairies of Light. She often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to reflect light and thus make her or those around her invisible. Sunny is described as energetic and very curious. She also enjoys eavesdropping on others for things that might interest her, like clues for a treasure hunt. She is also fond of delicious foods and any kind of liquor. True to her namesake, she is much happier during clear weather whereby the sun is out. She occupies the highest level of house accordingly to receive the morning sunshine. Sunny often oversleeps late into the morning. While she is reported to be considerably weak, her power allows her to change the refraction of light, making her able to hide herself or change how an environment looks. It is a fairy-like ability, mainly used in mischief, but her power gets weaker when the sun is not present, and rain gives away her illusions. The usage method of this ability has been confirmed to be as followed; by refracting light, she was able to make herself and others unable to be seen, give off light, bend the light of the sun & shine on shadows, and reflect danmaku that was made of light – she wasn't able to bounce back danmaku other than light. She was able to refract light and change the scenery, make humans lost in the forest, and upon basking in the sun, was especially quick to recover her wounds; this may be due to the power of the sun. She can also accumulate sunlight inside herself, and release it in another moment. The power of the released light can be strong enough to blind people, generate considerable heat, and even start fires. She has short ginger hair braided at the sides of her head with red ribbons, blue eyes, as well as a pair of wings. She wears a red and white dress with long sleeves and frills, along with a yellow neckerchief attached at the top of the dress. She also wears red shoes, as well as a maid headband between her braids.

Luna Child: Luna is a fairy who often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to negate sound and sneak around others. Luna is often described as clumsy and maybe even stupid at times, and is as curious as other fairies. She has a rare characteristic for a fairy: she loves coffee beans and is sometimes seen stealing some from humans, and she is also fond of alcohol. In the she's always tripping over something – even over nothing. Fairies are generally considered to have a quite different mindset compared to humans due to their unique nature. However, Luna's apparently depicted a bit different to the usual fairies: She tends to read books and newspapers, and has a habit of skeptical and rather logical thinking. Her common sense is more closer to humans in this regard. As result, the "stupid" she's commonly associated with is a lack of practical smarts, not a lack of book knowledge. Luna is able to mute all the sounds around her. It is self-styled as "the ultimate fairy weapon in hide-and-seek". In hide-and-seek, it might seem that her ability is weaker than Sunny Milk or Star Sapphire – but, just like Sunny who manipulates vision, it is an ability suited for mischief, and it is not simply a specified range, and as she is able to consciously mute only a specified sound, it is very useful. However, since she also uses this ability even when it isn't necessary to mute sound, there are also instances of appealing for existence. Luna, much like her partners, is not very powerful. Her power when used in tandem with Sunny's power to refract light, they can be a powerful stealthy pair. Luna, much like Sunny Milk, gets weaker when her natural element, the moon, isn't present in the sky. Also, by bathing in moonlight, she is able to quickly recover her wounds. Since she receives the influence of moonlight, the condition of the moon gives forth the quality of her ability. Luna has red eyes and yellow hair, arranged into six princess curls on both sides of her head, as well as a pair of wings. She wears a white and black dress having long sleeves and a few black ribbons at the front of her dress, along with a big one below her neck and an even bigger one in her back. She also has a white shoulder cloth having black outlines, and a white beret with black ribbons attached on its sides. The lunar cycle is depicted on the bottom of her dress. She wears a pair of slippers as well. When reading books, she's sometimes depicted with reading glasses.

Star Sapphire: Star is a fairy who often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to sense animate objects from a distance to her advantage. Star is often described as having more common sense than other fairies, being calmer, a bit wiser, often avoiding fights, letting her two partners do all the hard work for her, and making her getaway while her friends are busted in their pranks. As with her two other partners, she is rather fond of alcohol. Unlike her partners, she has the most bizarre sense of perception. Sometimes, when they see things that would cause Sunny and Luna to panic, such as an imminent incident or a mountain of human skulls, Star seems to find it fun and exciting. Just as bizarre are also her interests, which include examining strange rocks, or keeping a mushroom bonsai tree as a hobby. Keeping to her namesake, she loves all things star related. Like a radar, she is able to sense things that exist from afar. She only able to know moving things, and unrelated to being among that, living things (for living things, she isn't able to make distinctions other than size). Star, much like her partners, isn't very powerful. Her power allows her to know when trouble is coming or when to act during a prank. Unlike her two partners, her power does not weaken at any time, as stars are always present in the sky, even during the day. There hasn't been a depiction of concretely what range she is able to grasp things, but if she isn't preoccupied with other things, it seems that she's able to grasp a reasonably wide range, but it also seems that if there are a very large number of living things, then the important information gets buried. As for recovery from injury – different from Sunny Milk and Luna Child's case – she isn't affected at all by the weather and constantly recovers at ease. As for how she slacks off, she uses her ability and skillfully slacks off. Star's hair is long and dark brown, and her eyes are yellow. She wears a frilly blue dress with star patterns, having a white shoulder cloth and white long sleeves, as well as butterfly-shaped wings. She also has a small blue string attached as a ribbon at neck-level. She also wears boots.

About fairies: A fairy is a small, simple, humanoid creature of magic that represents some aspect of nature. Many of them are also simple-minded. They tend to have short lives, but they will regenerate immediately after dying. A fairy may have abilities relating to the aspects of nature. The power exercised by a single fairy is usually harmless and small scale, so they're more suited to playing around rather than harming people or causing incidents. Fortunately, most fairies are easily amused by pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans. Fairies spring forth from nature, and as long as that nature is preserved, they're immortal and indestructible. On the other hand, if that nature is lost, the fairies who spring forth from that disappear forever, this event is called "going out of commission". Fairies enjoy playing mischief to humans. Although fairies do not need to eat, they do have taste. Fairies are mostly small. Fairies also like cosplaying.
