Wriggle Nightbug (リグル・ナイトバグ) ist ein Youkai-Glühwürmchen mit der Fähigkeit, andere Insekten zu kontrollieren. Sie benutzt ihre Fähigkeit oft, um Leuchtkäfer zu ihrer Unterhaltung eine Performance aufführen zu lassen. Sie mag es auch, Menschen, die sie oder die Wichtigkeit von Insekten insgesamt unterschätzen, anzugreifen.

Allgemeines

Wriggle first appeared as the first stage boss and midboss of Imperishable Night. She's classified as a firefly youkai, which is explained as having more survivability because humans are less likely to kill them. However, like other insects, she is weak to fire, cold, fumigation, and insect repellent. As an insect, she forgets about information that's no longer needed. She normally sticks around bushes, clumps of grass, and other places insects normally thrive.

Tätigkeit

At one point, Wriggle was in charge of an insect delivery service. However, during the span of time between Aya Shameimaru's article and her interview, she stopped, and forgot all about it.

Fähigkeit

Ability to control insects

Wriggle possesses the ability to freely manipulate insects of most varieties, where it's unclear if this power is limited to only certain insects. She is seen manipulating various types of fireflies, as well as moths (which her spell card calls "butterflies"). While individual bugs may be quite weak, this ability can be used to call on entire swarms of them, including poisonous insects like deadly hornets; when she gets serious, she's also able to summon a swarm of harvest mites, insects so small that they are invisible to the naked eye and are the most dangerous bugs, that can bite without detection and infect humans with fatal diseases. In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Hieda no Akyuu also describes her as being able to control caterpillars, spiders, crickets, and other insects, so it is likely the type of insect doesn't matter.

Because she often uses this ability to surround herself with bugs, many humans find it unpleasant to confront her. However, while this ability makes her a fearsome opponent for most humans, Wriggle herself is almost harmless, and confronting her while she is alone (i.e. winter, when there are no or few bugs around her) would lead to an easy victory. Moreover, since the insects she controls still have their typical weaknesses, such as cold, fire, fumigation and insecticide, one can greatly weaken her capabilities by exploiting one or more of these weaknesses.

Persönlichkeit

Wriggle is quick to anger, and seems to take it personally when someone offends insects in any way. She is concerned about the decrease in the amount of insects lately, especially due to insecticide.

Name

Wriggle bedeutet "zappeln", Nightbug bedeutet "Nachtkäfer"

Aussehen

Wriggle hat grüne Augen und kurze, grüne Haare mit Fühlern. Sie trägt ein weißes Hemd und eine schwarze Hose. Außerdem hat sie einen Umhang, der auf der Innenseite rot ist. Wegen ihrer Kurzen Haare, der Hose und der Tatsache, dass ihr Name nicht wirklich eindeutig ist, wurde sie von vielen für einen Jungen gehalten. Das hat sich jedoch mit dem Erscheinen der Vollversion von Imperishable Night geändert, wo in ihrem Profil eindeutig steht, dass sie ein Mädchen ist.

Wriggle made a background cameo appearance in Hopeless Masquerade on the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum and Youkai Tanuki Forest stage. She is seen floating and cheering.

Hauptartikel: Article and Interview: Wriggle Nightbug

In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, Wriggle used her manipulation of insects in order to start an "Insects' News Service," which would send large numbers of bugs to make announcements and deliver messages for clients if they supplied plans and a specific time in advance. Wriggle organized the service with the intent of improving the social status of bugs, but soon got tired of it and stopped providing it.

When interviewed later, Wriggle does not remember the service, because insects discard information that is no longer in use.

Trivia
