Mischievous Teasing is Yae Miko's Level 5 Constellation.
Trivia[]
Etymology[]
- Considering the Chinese and Japanese names, Yae Miko is probably mocking and teasing the evil deeds of mortals, with the connotation that she also has a compassionate and wise side.
- The Japanese name Bouaku Shishou Men ("Face That Exposes Evil and Laughs to Scorn") is likely a reference to Bouaku Daishou Men (Japanese: 暴悪大笑面), meaning "Face That Exposes Evil and Laughs out Loud."
- It is one of the eleven faces of Eleven-Faced Avalokiteśvara, a popular manifestation of the boddhisattva Avalokiteśvara. As Avalokiteśvara is usually associated with compassion, wisdom, and calmness, this manifestation has a serene face at the front side; however, the mocking face Bouaku Daishou Men is placed at the exact opposite side of the front face, and under this aspect, they are said to expose the evil deeds of mortals and laugh off the absurdity of those who commit evil acts.[1]
- While the Shinto deity Inari (known for divine fox messengers) is most commonly identified with the Buddhist goddess Dakini, both Inari and Dakini are sometimes associated with Eleven-Faced Avalokiteśvara.

- ↑ Japanese: 暴 "to expose" also means "violence." It is therefore not impossible to be interpreted that it is her mocking face that is violent and evil, although it does not accord with the name's possible etymology. See the Etymology section.
