Ame-warashi (雨童女) (Rain Sprite) also known as a rain sprite or rain maker, is a spirit girl seen in xxxHolic. She is a proud, high ranking spirit / sprite who dislikes humans due to the fact that "humans have no care or regard whatsoever with living nature"; with some exceptions. She's kind to other spirits; is highly opinionated and can be very rude. She has a nasty temper and usually hits people with her umbrella. She is often seen reluctantly chaperoning Zashiki-Warashi when the latter wishes to visit the human world, and pretends to greatly dislike Watanuki, despite him helping to fulfill her request. She comes to Yūko to ask for the service of Watanuki to save someone at the park with park containing ajisai, or hydrangeas.
