Anyways, another great commission from the great @tempusumbra They are still taking Commissions over at their Ko-Fi So go take a look for more great sketchwork!

Original: A Soul as Red as a Ground Cherry

Genre: Electronic

Parsee being named after one of the two remaining Zoroastrian communities, the Parsis of Gujarat, and the fact her clothes are based on a fresco depicting inhabitants of Central Asia makes me wonder if making her a hashihime who lives on the bridge leading to a (former) hell is meant to reference the Chinvat Bridge from Zoroastrian beliefs (due to her design I find it unlikely ZUN decided to make her a foreigner as a last minute addition). Souls of the dead have to pass it to reach the afterlife; the righteous are greeted by a female psychopomp known as Daena, who invites them to heaven, while the wicked are dragged down to hell by a demon. Coincidentally, most depictions of said bridge come from Sogdian art - and Sogdians were culturally somewhat similar to, and extensively traded with, Tocharians (some historical Chinese sources seem to conflate them with each other, but it’s an oversimplification), whose seemingly typical clothes inspired Parsee’s outfit; even if ZUN only researched historical costumes, it’s unlikely he wouldn’t also stumble upon a summary of the beliefs of the discussed groups. There’s plenty of room for headcanons here, perhaps Parsee was originally employed in what eventually became Former Hell to guide souls awaiting judgement?
