Drizzelda's a pale slender girl with long dark blue hair worn in a straight style reaching down to her hips and also a bang covering her left eye. She has a sad expression and orangey-red eyes, like the color of the umbrella she wears on top of her head. She wears a pale blue dress, and beneath her is a big, rippling pool of water. Her Awoken form just adds a blue aura.
Drizzelda has a heavily subdued personality and low self-esteem, possibly as a result of her rainmaking powers. This causes her to shy away from everyone and everything.
It always rains wherever Drizzelda is, no matter the forecast. Anyone Inspirited by Drizzelda shares her personality, becoming just as depressed and self-critical.
In the games, Drizzelda has a romantic relationship with Ray O'Light, as both of them are frequently seen together in a pair of cutscenes, as well in the bonus chance footage. In the game, the two star crossed lovers come from opposing factions, kicking off one of the game's minor storylines.

In the anime[]
Drizzelda debuts in Yo-kai Drizzelda & Ray O'Light, causing Nate's class field trip to suddenly experience a bout of rainy weather. Nate identifies Drizzelda after he finds Katie acting depressed, initially summoning Jibanyan to deal with her, but the idea fails after Jibanyan protests being summoned during rainfall and refuses to fight. By chance, Ray O'Light passes by and attempts to woo Drizzelda, but Drizzelda turns down his advances, causing the rain to persist.
This results in Ray O'Light losing his powers, manifesting in the rays around his head falling off. Concerned, Drizzelda tries to pick them up but nearly falls into the nearby cliffside river. Despite begging Ray O'Light not to risk his life for her, Ray O'Light regains his strength and pulls Drizzelda to safety. Drizzelda's happiness and Ray O'Light's restoration causes the storm to cease and a rainbow to appear, giving Nate both their Medals, but quickly resumes after Drizzelda turns down Ray O'Light's marriage proposal.
She was summoned off-screen in EP101 to join the party Nate was attending.
In MN070, Drizzelda marries Ray O'Light. Blizzaria, Damona and Camellia are asked to watch over the ceremony to protect the two from a mysterious attacker. It is revealed that Dimmy is trying to attack Ray O'Light because he has feelings for Drizzelda after meeting her in a convenience store.
Etymology[]
"Drizzelda" is a combination of drizzle and the female name "Griselda" or "Zelda."
"Sabruine" comes from ça bruine (it drizzles).
"Nieselse" comes from nieseln (to drizzle) and the female name "Else."
"Pioggianna" is a combination of "pioggia" (rain) and the female name "Anna."
"Cellisca" translates as "sleet."
Origin[]
Drizzelda is based on the youkai called ame-onna (Japanese: 雨女,ame-onna) same as her Japanese name), meaning "rain woman". Originally related to kami of rain (and might have been one herself), this creature is however nowhere near as benevolent. She appears as a disheveled, emaciated woman that brings rain wherever she goes, and can be seen compulsively lapping up the raindrops trickling down her arms. She wanders villages at night, looking for children to kidnap and turn into more of her kind. A mother who suffers this fate is at risk of turning into an ame-onna herself from sheer grief.
In modern depictions, the rain-making part is more or less the only thing that carries over, and the youkai's name is humorously used to refer to people who seem to bring bad weather wherever they go.
Trivia[]
Drizzelda's "random" nicknames in Yo-kai Watch 2 are: Bluebelle, Rayn, Deborah, and Mopey.
She and Ray O'Light share a similar relationship with Dismarelda and Happierre (albeit in the games, not so much with the anime), a gloomy female colored mainly in cool coloring paired with a sunny disposition-minded male that mainly is colored in warm colors, and have contrasted effects on the environment, with Ray O'Light/Drizzelda being the weather and Happierre/Dismarelda being emotional. Additionally, the English names of the two female Yo-kai start with the letter D and end in "-elda."
Unlike Dismarelda, Drizzelda does not belong to the Eerie tribe.
