Cirno (pronounced sir-no), also known as chirno (pronounced cheer-no), is an ice fairy youkai from the Touhou series whom everybody loves. Please remember however that Cirno, having the power to manipulate cold, radiates an aura of coldness, keeping everything around her cold - thus any attempts at hugs would surely lead to frostbite.
Throughout the series, Cirno is often portrayed as the weakest strongest character in all of Gensokyo.
Cirno often acts quite childishly, enjoying playing pranks on unsuspecting people and playing around with frogs in the lake. Though, perhaps showing a slight sadistic streak, her idea of "playing" with frogs is freezing them in the water and watching them thaw, with a 1 in 3 fatality rate for the poor, poor froggies...
But, hey, she's only a child, at the incredibly young age of around 60 years.
Cirno the idiot?
Due to her childish traits and her naïvete, a lot of Touhou fans portray her as a bit of a stupid idiot (the worst kind of idiot). Unfortunately for Cirno, this doesn't end with the fans. Even ZUN, the sole member of Team Shanghai Alice and her creator, also likes to refer to her as such, starting with the manual for Phatasmagoria of Flower View.
The infamous page had an annotated screenshot of the game screen, labeling important elements such as the player, the score and life counter. Number 9 on the list pointed to Cirno, with the descriptive text "idiot". It's theorized that this caused Cirno to spiral into depression, taking out her frustration on nearby frogs and people who happen to be passing through the area. Cirno has yet to live this down, with fans now nicknaming her "nine-ball" and "⑨", never letting her forget.
Cirno's Perfect Math Class
In an effort to debunk all the claims of her being an idiot, Cirno even teaches maths lessons to underprivileged kids, which have been so successful they've even been turned into a song. In her class we learn that there are no buses in Gensokyo and that vases do not exist. What this has to do with maths is a bit beyond me, but surely that's just because I'm nowhere near as much of a genius as Cirno.
