Description:
Blue eyes, teal hair, bug-like antennae. Wears a white shirt with stylized short sleeves, a black cape (red on inner side), and knee-length blue baggy pants.
Stage 1 boss. Insects collect around her, and so she often can be seen in the middle of a swarm of insects. With her powers, she can manipulate the flickerings of fireflies with timed synchronicity, or summon swarms of poisonous insects to kill an enemy. Like insects, she is afraid of pesticides and the cold.
Wriggle is a firefly with the ability to control other insects. She likes using her ability to direct concerted performances for her own amusement. She also likes using it to attack humans who underestimate her significance or the importance of insects in general; she seems to take it personally when someone offends insects.
During the events of Imperishable Night, Wriggle attacked a pair of travelers that looked like they would be easy targets, but the pair fought Wriggle off without breaking a sweat.
Wriggle's appearance and name are both quite androgynous compared to other characters, so it used to be a point of some contention whether Wriggle was a male or female character before the release of full version, her wearing pants certainly didn't help either.
Due to insects being near the very bottom of the food chain, Wriggle is sometimes portrayed as "food" in some fan comics. Especially food for Yamame Kurodani, a spider youkai, or for Mystia Lorelei, a night sparrow (who in turn is food for Yuyuko Saigyouji, a glutton).
In fan works, she is often seen with other lower level, childish characters such as Cirno, Rumia, and Mystia. She is occasionally called or labelled "G" (short for gokiburi, or cockroach).
Pairings of her with Yuka have become common. This could be because bugs pollinate flowers.
In Imperishable Night, the player can go up to the top of the screen and focus to collect items without being at full power (the Magic Team doesn't even have to focus to do this). For beginning players, sometimes they would be caught off guard in the middle of stage 1 trying to collect point items and lose a life due to Wriggle coming from the top of the screen while the player is at the same location trying collecting point items. This sudden fly-in from Wriggle is sometimes referred to as the "Wriggle Kick" in the fandom and is parodied in fanart and fangames such as Touhou Soccer and Touhoumon.
