Kikimora is a maid very loosely based on the mythological Kikimora. She is obsessed with cleanliness.
Biography
Appearance
Kikimora is a young woman with short blonde hair. In general, she resembles that of a housekeeping maid, wearing a red dress and brown shoes, covered up with a maid apron. She also wears a maid's headdress.
Personality
To Kikimora, nothing is more important than keeping everything as tidy as possible. Making a mess around her is ill-advised, especially if she just cleaned that area.
Abilities
Despite seeming like a mere maid, Kikimora is no stranger to magical abilities. She's also very powerful physically, and is nearly always armed with her trusty mop.
History
Madou Monogatari series
Kikimora debuted in Madou Monogatari: Michikusa Ibun as an enemy.
She received her own spinoff Disc Station game titled Kikimora's Clean Up. This game introduces Nega Kikimora, an evil doppelganger that would appear as an enemy in subsequent games.
Puyo Puyo Sun
Kikimora appears as the fourth opponent in Arle's story. She becomes enraged when Arle steps on a freshly-swept rock path; she trips Arle, pins her down using a broom, and brushes her across the ground.
Puyo Puyo~n
Kikimora appears as the third opponent. As Arle is looking around the circus premises for Carbuncle, she gets into Kikimora's way. When Kikimora refuses to help Arle, she calls her a "stingy old cleaning lady", infuriating her into a Puyo match with her. Post-battle, Kikimora instructs her to look at a circle beneath her, which magically warps her to the volcano stage.
Minna de Puyo Puyo
Kikimora appears as the first opponent in Gold Town, Gachinko Dungeon, and Magical Tower. She teaches Arle all of the Nuisance Puyo rules. During her battles she is always fought with 3 colors but in her final battle in Trial Labyrinth, she is fought with 4 colors.
Miscellaneous
Kikimora appears in an animated short, trying to unsuccessfully clean a beach with only her broom. When Witch appears, she attempts to get her broomstick, leading to both quarrelling over it.
Kikimora appears as a referee in another short with the characters as football (rugby) players.
Trivia
- Kikimora was created by Keiji Uemizu, a Compile employee who served as a scenario writer for both Madou Monogatari and Puyo Puyo games.
- Kikimora's Super Attack in the console version of Puyo Puyo~n is named after Kikimora's Clean-Up.
