Flandre Scarlet (フランドール・スカーレット, Furandooru Sukaaretto) ist die jüngere Schwester von Remilia Scarlet und ein Vampir welcher seit über 495 Jahren im Scarlet Devil Mansion lebt.

Allgemeines

Flandre taucht zum ersten Mal als Extra Stage Boss in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil mit ihrem Thema "U.N. Owen was Her?" und auch als Ziel im Extra Stage in Shoot the Bullet auf. Sie wurde in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red interviewt und hat einen Artikel in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense und The Grimoire of Marisa.

Flandre lebt schon seit mindestens 495 Jahre, aber seit sie ein bisschen verrückt wurde (durch emotionale Instabilität), hat man sie nie wieder außerhalb der Grenze des Scarlet Devil Mansion oder seltener beim verlassen des Gebäudes ertappt. Aus Respekt vor ihrer Schwester versuchte sie nie nach draußen zu gelangen. Sie wurde so erzogen, dass sie nichts von der Außenwelt mitbekam. Allerdings scheint sie nach den Ereignissen von Embodiment of Scarlet Devil doch noch den Wunsch nach draußen gehen zu haben. Ihr ursprünglicher Versuch wurde mit Patchouli Knowledges Regen-Beschwörungsmagie verhindert, aber seit dem wurde sie außerhalb des Anwesens gesehen, wo sie ein Meteorit zerstörte.

Bevor sie Marisa Kirisame oder Reimu Hakurei in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil traf, hatte sie noch keinen einzigen Menschen außer in gekochter Form gesehen.

Fähigkeiten

Flandre, as ill,ustrated in The Grimoire of Marisa.

Es ist wohl offensichtlich, dass Flandre als Vampir übermenschliche Fähigkeiten wie ihre Schwester Remilia Scarlet besitzt, wie eine erhöhte physische Kraft mit der zerstörerischen Macht eines Oni, die Wendigkeit eines Tengu und körperliche und regenerative Fähigkeiten eines Vampires. Sie kann ein überdimensionales Schwert schwingen, wenn auch nicht so schnell wie sie eigentlich möchte.. Da sie nicht weiß, wie man einen Menschen richtig attackiert, sprengt sie diesen einfach weg ohne eine Spur von Blut zu hinterlassen.

Zerstörung von alles und jedem

Flandre kann alles was sie will zerstören, was eine sehr beängstigende Fähigkeit ohne eine wirkliche Schwäche ist.Indem sie das "Auge" eines Objekts bewegt, wo die Spannung am größten ist und attackiert, ist sie in der Lage diese zu zerstören. Sie ist im Stande das "Auge" von irgendetwas in die Mitte ihrer Hand zu bewegen, dann flößt sie ihre Macht hinein oder mit anderen Worten, sie zerquetscht das "Auge" und zerstört bedinglos das Ziel mit gerade einem Druck.Sie erklärt, dass alles ein "Auge" hat und sie die alle in ihrer Hand hat. Sie zerstörte ein Meteor nur mit einer Hand und ohne es zu berühren. Flandre stellt nur fest, dass sie quetschte und es "boom" machte.

Diese Fähigkeit war nur in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red zu sehen.

Alles was für sie zum Spielen gemacht wurde, ging früher oder später kaputt, was bedeuten kann, dass sie keine Spielkameraden hat.

Sich klonen

Flandre ist in der Lage sich selbst zu klonen, wie es in eines ihrer Spell Cards gezeigt wird. Dort erschafft sie 3 Klone, die ihr im Kampf helfen. Die Klone attackieren wie sie wollen, was bedeuten kann, dass sie bis zu einem bestimmten Grad eigenständig denken können.Es gehört zur Kategorie "Sklaven Typ", also stehen sie unter dem Kommando vom Original Flandre..

Besitz

In her hand, she possesses an object that looks like a crooked clock needle (sometimes thought to be a Lævateinn) – this is a prominent peculiarity associated with Flandre, in which the name is derived from her second spell card Taboo "Lævateinn". It shares its name with the sword (wand in some versions) of Loki, a Norse god known for causing mischief. This sword/wand is used by the fire giant Surt in Ragnarok (the Norse equivalent of the Apocalypse) to burn down the whole world, except for one safe heaven. Fitting that Flandre would be wielding a tool of such destructive might.

She also possesses unusually peculiar wings, an irregular shape unlike those of any living creature, youkai or ghost, or even to a vampire's typical bat-like wings (or even organic matter). Reimu even said, "I doubt she can fly with those wings". Concerning this statement, Hieda no Akyuu noted that there are plenty of those in Gensokyo who can fly without wings.

Charakterkonzept

Name

Her full name is Flandre Scarlet (フランドール・スカーレット). The name Flandre (best pronounced as 'Flan-drah') is a modern French term for Flanders, a region which makes out the northern part of Belgium. They speak Flemish, a variety of Dutch. In Dutch, it's pronounced as 'Vlaanderen'. Note that the pronunciation of her name in the Japanese goes more along the lines of "Flandoor" rather than "Flander" since her name in katakana was not フランドル which would have been the more relevant katakana for "Flandre", but rather with the vowel after the "d" extended. Also, note that there isn't actually any right or wrong of how to pronounce the names in non-Japanese languages. Technically, they're all unofficial as there's been no confirmation by ZUN.

"Scarlet" refers to the bright colour red with a slight of orange and is a variant of "Scarlett" as a surname. The middle dot (・) in the middle of her name is used in foreign names to show where the next word begins. In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she was called Imouto-sama (妹様, lit. "your [her] honor, little sister [of the mistress]") by Patchouli Knowledge.

Aussehen

In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's official art, Flandre has red eyes and short blond hair, which is tied into a single ponytail on her left side. Wears a red dress and vest, with a pink shirt underneath and socks. Also wears a pink mob cap with a red ribbon attached. She carries a matching wand with her, which might be the mythical Lævateinn. Arranged from her back to the tip of her wings her 8 crystals which are presented in seven colours: Hellblau, Blau, Violett, Pink, Orange, Gelb, Grün und wieder Hellblau.

Musik Theme

Her boss theme ("U.N. Owen was her?") and her second-to-last spell card (Secret Barrage "And Then Will There Be None?") are references to Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None. In the origin of this incident, the spouse of the person who sent out invitations had the initial "U.N.Owen". As "U.N.Owen" is "Unknown", i.e. an "unknown person", the characters in that story were killed by someone unknown.

That Flandre Scarlet herself does not know the meaning of killing humans or other youkai, so that in a sense she has a cruel (or, in some sense, an innocent) personality which can attributed to the fact she hasn't been in much contact with either one, and that she continues to be locked underground knowing pretty much nothing about the existence of the outside, and other things like this are thought to be the reasons there is a relation between Flandre and U.N.Owen, since ZUN stated that this relates to Flandre being unknown.

Flandre shown with Remilia Scarlet in Forbidden Scrollery Chapter 7

In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil Flandre hold a few dialogues with the heroines stating she hasn't left the Scarlet Devil Mansion for about 495 years and has been sleeping in the basement since then. Furthermore, her character profile states she isn't usually taken out of the mansion and she also doesn't try to go out. Akyuu theorizes on this saying she is probably shut-in person, but the reason of her enclosure is because of her rather peculiar personality which makes her difficult to have a conversation with, as seen in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red's article about her.

It's seems her confinement in the Scarlet Devil Mansion understand every part of it as she has been seen wandering inside the Mansion by some humans and even hold and interview with Aya Shameimaru in the garden. In Forbidden Scrollery, Flandre appears watching the pet of her sister along with her.

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

After the main events of the game, Flandre makes her way out of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's basement while Remilia is off at the Hakurei Shrine. With no other choice, Patchouli uses her magic to cause a rainstorm around the mansion so that she wouldn't be able to leave it. Soon enough, the player character makes their way to her.

Hauptartikel: Reimu Extra Arc

When Reimu finds Flandre, she demands an explanation as to why her sister has been bothering her at the shrine. They decide to have a danmaku battle, and Reimu eventually emerges victorious. Flandre appears to calm down afterwards.

Hauptartikel: Marisa Extra Arc

Marisa introduces herself as Reimu, but Flandre sees through the play - apparently she's aware of the magician's identity. After Marisa defeats her, they trade quotes from a certain book, adapted to fit their current situation.

Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red

Flandre destroying a meteor in her article in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.

Hauptartikel: Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Flandre

In April 2006, Aya Shameimaru reports on the strange explosion of a meteorite above Gensokyo. She learns that Flandre was the one who destroyed it, but becomes increasingly confused as Flandre explains she destroyed it by squeezing the eye of the meteorite in her hand. Even more perplexing information is given by Flandre's older sister, Remilia Scarlet. Apparently, it was planned that the meteorite was supposed to be aimed at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and that Flandre would destroy it. Inexplicably, Aya ends the article with a report that spring has begun.

In her follow-up, Aya interviews Flandre about the explosion and Remilia's information. Flandre gives the same explanation for how she destroyed the meteorite, and, when questioned, says that her sister just acts like she knows what's happening. Remilia interrupts (for which Aya is thankful), and confirms that what Flandre said was true, insinuating that Aya just can't understand, while giving strange information about the meteorite's source.

Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth

In Chapter 9 of Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, Reisen Udongein Inaba and Tewi Inaba get lost in the Scarlet Devil Mansion and end up being chased by what looks to be the silhouette of Flandre. She chases the two down a corridor until Tewi and Reisen went through a door and got back to the party group, thus getting away from Flandre.

Forbidden Scrollery

On chapter 3 of Forbidden Scrollery, one of Flandre's wings were seen poking out during Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame's search for the Enenra. On chapter 7, she was shown looking at the Tupai with Remilia Scarlet after it was captured.

Beziehungen

Currently there have not been many portrayals of her relations other than to her older sister, but since it has been stated that "she has few friends even among the youkai of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and spends most of her time in isolation", she probably does not have very favourable relations with other residents.

Bewohner des Scarlet Devil Mansion

Remilia and Flandre, as illustrated in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.

Remilia Scarlet is Flandre's older sister. Flandre is stated to respect her sister, and Remilia cares for Flandre as shown where she is considering getting her a good tutor in Imperishable Night, but it is unknown how often the two interact. Perfect Memento in Strict Sense states that it's rare (but not nonexistent) to see Flandre and Remilia together. The only times that they're depicted together is in their cameo in Forbidden Scrollery chapter 7 when they were looking at their pet Tupai and in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, which also shows that Remilia will at least allow Aya Shameimaru to interview Flandre in the first place.

The interview shows that although Flandre might respect her older sister, it's to the extent you'd expect a snarky child to. She is willing to outright state when she thinks Remilia is just spouting nonsense, at which point Remilia comes in with a comment that she shouldn't be talking about her older sister like that. Her treatment of her older sister became harsh, and she even called Remilia "that person" (あいつ, aitsu)

Not much is known about Flandre's relationships with other residents as she spends most of her time in the basement. Patchouli is aware of Flandre's existence and the need to keep her confined to the mansion, as Remilia noted Patchouli was probably causing a rainstorm around the mansion to keep Flandre from getting out. Presumebly, Sakuya also serves Flandre along with Remilia, but it's not stated, implied, or depicted in any official work. Someone prepares Flandre's food, which are humans prepared in the shape of pastries and other pleasant things, but it is never stated to be Sakuya.

It's unknown what kind of relationship Flandre has with Hong Meiling, the Fairy Maids, the recent hobgoblins and Koakuma.

Kleinere Beziehungen

Reimu Hakurei

Das Schreinmädchen versprach ihr, während des Dialoges in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, jedes mal, wenn sie käme, mit Flandre zu spielen. Nach den Ereignissen von EoSD wurden die beiden nie wieder miteinander gesehen. Wahrscheinlich hat Reimu das nur gesagt, um sie zu beruhigen.

Marisa Kirisame

Her conversation with Marisa in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil leaves an impression that the two are quite friendly. However, Marisa commented, "Sometimes when I sneak into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I run into the little sister. I had to slip by without drawin' her attention, but after goin' through all that to get into the place, I was hopin' I wouldn't run into her."

Trivia

• Ihr Boss Theme U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか？ und ihre zweitletzte Spell-card (Secret Barrage "And Then Will There Be None?") sind beide Bezüge auf Agatha Christies Novel "And then there were none" (Auch bekannt als 10 kleine Indianer oder 10 kleine Nägerlein). U.N.Owen ist abgeleitet von dem englischen Wort "unknown" (dt.unbekannt) und wurde als Pseudonym für den Verbrecher in dem Novel festgelegt.Genau genommen müsste Flandres Boss theme dann "Der Verbrecher war sie?" heißen.
• Flandre wurde 1508 A.D. geboren und ist , so wie ihre Schwester Remilia eine der wenigen Charaktere , dessen Geburtsjahr bekannt ist.
• A silhouette of Flandre occupies the front of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's jewel case.
• Flandre is one of the few characters to not appear in the background during Hopeless Masquerade, which would relate to her lack of leaving the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
• Assuming her birth year by calculating backwards in the Gensokyo Timeline, she's supposed to be born around 1508 A.D. But the "canon-ness" of this assumption is unknown.
• The spell card reference ("And Then Will There Be None?") to an Agatha Christie novel is definite. It's more speculative but still worth noting that the science-fiction genre saw Philip K. Dick write a novel called "Counter-Clock World" in 1967 and Frederik Pohl write "The Gold at the Starbow's End" in 1972.
• On one end of the Lævateinn that Flandre is seen holding in Shoot the Bullet is very different compared to the Lævateinn that Flandre is seen holding in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
• She used the phrase "that means, you can't use a continue!" to Marisa Kirisame, which was breaking the fourth wall.
• In the Second Touhou Saimoe Tournament, the 8th game of the first round was a battle between Flandre and Suika Ibuki. Although the battle ended with Flan winning, this led to ZUN posting a rough drawing of Suika that hadn't been open to the public with a message saying "don't get defeated by a little sister that hasn't even reached the age of 500!".
• The "crystals" on her wings look somewhat similar to the crystals shown on Patchouli Knowledge's spell card, Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign "Philosopher's Stone".
• Strangely, if one uses a bomb against her in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's Extra, she's shown to have normal wings in bat form.

Fandom

Hauptartikel: Fandom: Flandre Scarlet

Flandre has not made many appearances in the series, but maybe because of her personality and the way she looks and acts, she's become a very popular character. One reason would be because of her theme music ("U.N.Owen was her?"). It is particularly famous, and is often used in MAD videos, and for a time introduced many as "newcomers hoihoi" on Nico Nico to Touhou. Furthermore, the arrangement "最終鬼畜妹フランドール･S" ("Final Savage Sister, Flandre S.") in the album Touhou Strike by COOL&CREATE seems to have been mistaken by many to have been the original music.

Sister of the Devil Flandre Scarlet Fähigkeit: Absolute Zerstörung von allem und jedem Der Extra Boss. Außerdem die Schwester der Hausherrin. Sie ist ein vampirartiges, magisches Mädchen und ist die kleine Schwester vom Scarlet Devil für etwa 495 Jahre. Sie ist verrückt und ihr ist es normalerweise nicht erlaubt die Villa zu verlassen, aber normalerweise versucht sie nicht auszubrechen. Sie respektiert ihre große Schwester Remilia sehr, aber ihre rohe zerstörerische Kraft übersteigt weit die ihrer Schwester. Obwohl sie eigentlich sanftmütig ist, macht ihre Verrücktheit es für andere schwer sie zu verstehen. Wenn Vampire Menschen angreifen, versuchen diese gewöhnlich ihre Beute am Leben zu halten, so dass sie später deren Blut trinken können, aber Flandre wurde immer mit gekochten Gerichten gefüttert, also weiß sie nicht wie man einen Menschen richtig angreift. Sobald sie versucht einen Menschen anzugreifen, kann sie sich selbst nicht kontrollieren und sprengt ihn weg ohne auch nur ein Fleckchen Blut übrig zu lassen. Vielleicht weiß sie gar nicht, dass ihre täglichen Mahlzeiten aus lebenden Menschen hergestellt ist. Immerhin sehen ihre Mahlzeiten wie harmloses Essen wie Kuchen und Tee aus...
