Spell Card: Horror "Tsurube-Otoshi Apparition"
I think she's strangely mischievous for someone who's too shy to exit a bucket. That's a bit eccentric~
The Fearsome Well Spirit

"Uh-oh, it's a Tsurube-otoshi!
Despite her appearance, this is a ferocious youkai.
She waits in the darkness for humans passing by, but the places where she hides are obvious."

"As the bitter cold of Gensokyo's winter was only beginning to give way to thawing, a scream echoed through the human village. Although peace had persisted for some time, it seemed as if that day would turn out to be slightly different.
There were reports of children finding the skeletal remains of a human while playing around a dried-up well. The well was then declared to be off-limits.
Apparently, a Tsurube-otoshi youkai came out of well saying "So is THIS the body you dropped down here?", cackling as she threw the bones at them. As all of the humans in Gensokyo were accounted for with no one who had gone missing, no one had any no clue as to whom the skeleton belonged.
To make matters worse, the remains disappeared while no one was looking during preparations to bury it in Muenzuka. At the present state, it's hard to tell if there was any sort of incident or not, let alone the identity of the previous owner of the bones.
The youkai expert, Ms. Yukari Yakumo said:
"Well, I suppose it was an act by the youkai of the underground. Since their powers come from the negative energy of humans, maybe she wanted to scare humans who had become too peace-addled."
There is a nonintervention pact made between the youkai of the underground and the surface, so if this was the work of the youkai underground, the situation could become complicated. Even we tengu hope to avoid trouble with the underground.
"However, since we don't have the all-important skeleton, it could have been a simple misunderstanding. No, it was a misunderstanding, definitely."
The incident was settled as silver birch branches being mistaken for bones.[1] No ominous occurrences had happened in the human village.
At a later date, we confirmed that the dried-up well was filled in with dirt. The person that did this is unknown, but since there was no incident in the first place, it's not a problem."

She likes confined spaces, so she prefers to stay inside her bucket. Despite her unassuming appearance, she seems eager to attack and scare people as she drops down, perhaps because she feeds on the fear of passerbyes. Evidently, that might mean she's doing a better job at surprising people than a certain umbrella.
Some folk claim the head over the bucket edge is not truly her own! As a youkai of the underground, her reputation is questionable. The Gensokyo's chronicler believes this particular youkai is far from averse to harming a human...
