The Grasshopper
The Reveler Frozen in Winter
Summer... was so much fun, wasn't it.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
The ghost of the grasshopper who sang and played all summer, then froze with nothing to eat come winter. The tiny violin in its hands makes no sound anymore, playing only regret. It embodies the tab that comes due on 'as long as today's fun,' and it shivers faintly on the shoulder of anyone who keeps putting off deadlines or savings. It owes the ants far too much to ever face them again.
Relationships with other curses
Together with the Backlog Mountain Hag The Backlog Crone and the Hungover Wraith The Hangover Wraith, it forms the 'Three Procrastinator Brothers.' The Melting Clock The Melting Clock warps its sense of time even further.
How to deal with this curse
The Grasshopper embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
