| Fähigkeiten = Manipulation von Eifersucht

Parsee first appeared as the [[stage]] 2 [[boss]] of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''.

Parsee harbors intense feelings of jealousy due to being despised. No matter situation the other person may be in, she'll always be jealous of it. Even if the other person is actually less fortunate, she will be jealous of the fact that they're not jealous. In this way, her jealousy is quite irrational. This isn't to say Parsee is actually unfortunate. If you were to talk to her directly, she would come off as completely normal – even a bit cheerful – but this masks the jealousy that she's actually feeling, and afterwards she will end up despising you and talking behind your back.

;Manipulation of Jealousy

It is an ability from the legend of Hashihime. As a [[youkai]] who can be called the very embodiment of jealousy, she is able to manipulate those feelings in others. In relation to [[human]]s, it is a dreadful ability that can easily destroy them. She lives off of seeing the lives of those she introduces jealousy into being destroyed by it. This may be the reason she was sealed underground. She herself is deep in her own jealousy.

Parsee used to be a guardian, someone who would watch over those crossing her bridge to make sure they passed between the underground and the surface world safely. However, her own jealousy at those travelers eventually caused her to be able to control feelings of jealousy in others.

The {{nihongo|Hashihime|橋姫}} is a mythical [[youkai]] that appears in various Japanese texts (Most notably the [[Wikipedia:The Tale of the Heike|The Tale of Heike]]). After her husband left her and married another woman, the jealous and enraged Hashihime prays to the gods for revenge. A priest tells her a way: She has to dress herself in red and paint her face with the same color, her hair arranged with seven loops and crowned with a burning brazier, then spend 21 days under the Uji bridge while holding a metal rod. So deep was her rage and jealousy, that she actually did the entire process, becoming a vengeful youkai driven by jealousy that only appears in the vicinity of bridges that cross over water. She appears to loving couples, threatening to kill them both unless they break up right there and then. There is also a famous Noh Play about this mythological creature. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-noh.com/en/plays/data/program_026.html|title=Kanawa (Iron Trivet)|accessdate=18 Februari, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glopad.org/jparc/?q=en/node/21896|title=Hashihime {{lang|ja|橋姫}} [literally "bridge princess"<nowiki>]</nowiki>|accessdate=18 Februari, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://nippon-kichi.jp/article_list.do;jsessionid=98EBB0CA3885C46AAA6513154C141D81?p=2486&ml_lang=en|title={{lang|ja|能面 橋姫}}　Noumen Hashi-hime　Noh Mask Hashihime|accessdate=18 Februari, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://totaljapandemonium.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/the-yokai-files-hashi-hime/|title=The Yokai Files – Hashi Hime|accessdate=18 Februari, 2011}}</ref>

According to [[ZUN]] in an interview in [[Chara☆Mel]] released with ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'' Chapter 7, the term {{nihongo||波斯人|hashihito}} refers to Persians, and he thought it would be interesting to try to make a more foreign-looking character, a Persian hashihime in old-style clothes, even if she doesn't really look like a hashihime.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5903008|title={{lang|ja|キャラ☆メル}}　vol.7 {{lang|ja|東方地霊殿神主インタビュー（前編）}}|publisher=Chara☆Mel}}</ref>

The name of Parsee's boss theme "Green-eyed Jealousy", as well as her midboss [[spell card]] and ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' title "The Green-Eyed Monster", are both terms used in Shakespeare's works to poetically describe jealousy.

Some Japanese people tend to pronounce her personal name "Parsee" [paɽɯ̥si] as if it were "Parseeh" [paɽɯ̥siː] or "Parshee" [paɽɯ̥ɕiː], maybe because there's a customary rule of Japanese engineer's terms that they ought to omit [[Wikipedia:Chōonpu|the long vowel mark]] at the end of a word, unless it isn't a short word; for example, "{{lang|ja|アッセンブラ}}" (assembler) although it's normally spelled as "{{lang|ja|アッセンブラ'''ー'''}}". Therefore, the correct spelling for "{{lang|ja|パルスィ}}" is "{{lang|ja|パールスィー}}".

Parsee has wavy blond hair and green eyes, and her skin appears to have pale chartreuse tint to it. She wears an odd dress; the top is brown with purple borders, with a white criss-cross pattern and a pink sash. The bottom is blue and purple with again the white criss-cross pattern and black with criss-crossed red strings hanging on the bottom edge. She has a pink scarf tied around her neck and pink puffy arm socks.

*While her character portrait in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' shows her as having green eyes, her sprite shows her as having blue eyes.

*Quite a few of her [[spell card]]s reference Japanese folklore (namely stories involving jealous individuals) such as "[[Wikipedia:Shita-kiri Suzume|The Tongue-Cut Sparrow]]."

　　水橋パルスィ（みずはし　パルスィ）<br/>

Jealousy only begets further jealousy, so as she went mad from her own jealousy, she became able to fan the flames of jealousy in the hearts of others.
