Clownpiece appeared as the Stage 5 boss in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, and is a subordinate of Hecatia Lapislazuli, who allows Junko to use Clownpiece in her scheme against the Lunar Capital. Clownpiece was among the fairies exposed to Junko's abilities prior to the events of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, transforming her into a being of pure life force, whom the Lunarians could not fight without becoming permanently tainted. It's unclear whether this is still true by the time she comes to Gensokyo.
With the flame of her torch, Clownpiece is able to drive others insane. According to herself, any human looking at the light of her torch would be unable to maintain their sanity, making her able to mess with their minds. In the Human Village, she used this ability to make villagers extremely irritable and short-tempered, attacking each other for trivial reasons. She can also use this madness to increase the strength of other fairies and herself. Clownpiece claims that, while this may seem like an unusual power for a nature spirit, it's nothing strange in Hell where "nature" consists mainly of the souls of the dead. It is worth noting that, being a native resident of Hell, Clownpiece was never American - she chose to use the star-spangled pattern seen on her clothes after having seen the US flag on the moon.
While setting up a prank on Reimu Hakurei, the Three Fairies of Light hear her make mention of a new fairy. Curious about her identity, they travel to the Human Village, where they find Clownpiece manipulating the minds of the humans there, causing them to become aggressive toward one another. When confronted by the Three Fairies of Light, Clownpiece explains her power to drive people mad, and mentions that she is from Hell, but doesn't want to return there. Impressed by her ability, they invite her to live with them, but she declines, stating that she has someone else to live with. At the mention of pranking opportunities, however, Clownpiece expresses curiosity toward their abilities, and they introduce themselves. Luna Child warns Clownpiece not to play her pranks in the Human Village, however, because the shrine maiden has her eye on Clownpiece.
