Uh guys. Rumia is constantly surrounded by a globe of darkness. She cannot see in the dark. So as long as she is using her ability she is effectively blind. She only eats people stupid enough to wander into her darkness and stumble into her.

The only time she is not surrounded by darkness is on the night of a full moon.

Rumia doesn't react well at all to sunlight and dislikes the heat of summer, taking shelter from both in her own personal field of darkness. However, even she is unable to see in the dark and bumps into things on a regular basis while wandering with no goal in mind.

TIME FOR KNOW YOUR YOUKAI
(It could save your life one day)

A small, unusual lump of darkness has been seen lately. This is actually Rumia, who is inside the darkness. Her reason for creating darkness around her every day is to avoid the heat of summer, which she dislikes along with sunlight. There's some concern that if she stays in one place too long the darkness would hurt the summer plants around her that wouldn't get any sunlight, but otherwise the darkness has no physical effect besides blocking the sun.

When interviewed later on, Rumia complained that other youkai were coming into her darkness because the article had suggested they could also avoid the light and heat like her. She also complained when Aya requested there be enough light for her to take notes. Rumia's eyes are very sensitive to even a little bit of light because she's so used to the darkness and she considers the night to be bright. It turns out that day or night Rumia simply flies around aimlessly, with no place in mind and often bumps into trees and such because even she can't see outside her darkness. Aya was a bit disappointed that Rumia has no goals in life.

Alice

Human friendship level: High
If you happen to wander into the Forest of Magic and lose your way, and end up at her house, it is said that she will welcome you and allow you to stay over.
Alice is known among humans for doing performances with her dolls during festivals.


China

Human friendship level: Normal
She works as a gate guard, and thus meets with humans more than the other residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
She is unusually human-like among youkai, and if you talk to her while she is on the job, she will idly chat or complain.
She may threaten you with words, but as long as you don't force open the gate she almost never attacks.

From TouhouWiki:

> Many, though not all, youkai are known to eat humans on occasion, if not on a regular basis. Many youkai are also stronger and live longer than an average human, with lifespans often reaching into hundreds of years (or possibly more in some cases). One common trait often seen among youkai is a weakness to various faith based and spiritual attacks, charms, wards, etc. In Gensokyo it's therefore natural for the resident shrine maiden to become involved whenever there's trouble being caused by a youkai.

> However, despite the danger certain youkai present, humans and youkai can and do live together. Some, such as Tewi Inaba, are even helpful to humans. Deciding if a youkai is harmful to humans or not must be done on a case by case basis.

Perfect Memento also mentions that youkai eat all sorts of other things. Humans are just a delicacy for them.

So...more than likely very few of the named youkai are actually people eaters.

When vampires attack humans, they generally try to take their prey alive so that they can suck its blood afterward, but Flandre has always been fed with cooked dishes, so she doesn't know how to properly attack a human. Whenever she tries to attack a human, she fusses too much and blows them away without leaving a spot of blood.

Perhaps she can't tell that her daily meals are made from living humans.

Her meals look like such harmless foodstuffs as cake and tea, after all...
