The Girl Who Peeked
Maiden of the Opened Box
Tell me not to open it and, well... I'm gonna open it.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A maiden entrusted with a box she was told to never, ever open—who lost to her curiosity and opened it anyway. Every calamity in the world came pouring out, and by the time she slammed the lid, only 'hope' remained at the bottom. But as she puts it, 'Hope is the worst of them all—it won't let you give up.' She casts the curse that makes you open the notifications, histories, and locked accounts you were never meant to see. Even now, tiny disasters flicker and leak out through the crack in the lid.
Relationships with other curses
She is the third member of the 'Society of Those Told Not to Open It,' alongside 玉手箱のThe Forbidden Box and 青ひげBluebeard. She alone feels a little remorse after the fact.
How to deal with this curse
The Girl Who Peeked embodies the everyday frustration of "mythology." 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.
