Childish is a word that describes Cirno to a T. It is one trait all fairies in the land have but Cirno seems to take it too far at times. She has the tendency of running around and attacking others at random, declaring, "I'm the Strongest!" Most of these attempts get her into trouble and defeated. She has only once actually challenged someone who was more powerful then herself and won, but even that was at a low level. But with her naive mind, she took it as a complete victory and went home to rest afterwards.
She is not quite the smartest in the land of Gensokyo. One way to distract her from what she was doing is to ask her a riddle. She will stop what she is doing just to try and figure it out. She knows basic math, Addition, Subtraction, Division and Multiplication but anything more complicated then that, She will just take a wild guess at it. She can read a bit, mostly elementary school level books but she mostly will not understand what she read afterwards. It can be thought she can learn but she is usually too distracted to sit down and learn.
Just like other fairies, Cirno loves to go and pull pranks on anyone she can. Which leads her into trouble and most of her fights. Pranks pulled on her usually leads to her finding the person responsible and trying to fight them, Given the fact that her temper seems to get the better of her most of the time when faced with the situation. Unlike other fairies though, Cirno is a complete rough and tumble tomboy. Down in the dirt, fights always imminent and not afraid to get dirty or bloody, which ever the situation is called for.
Under all of that, Cirno is a sweet and kind girl if given the chance. She overshadows it with the stronger points of her personality or with the things going on around her. She does tend to get swept up into the excitement and will fall back into her loud and brash nature to deal with the excitement. If you can get her away from the excitement or people she just does not like, She can and will become a whole different fairy.
During Cirno's time in Rakuen, a bit of this has changed. She is more likely to actually watch and observe a situation instead of running head first into it. Even though it will take her a while to catch on, she is willing to sit down and learn, As she started to see some of her classes made sense to her. Even though she likes to hide behind a bright smile, she is a bit more solemn and worried about things. People disappearing and punishment she had to deal out on others have worn her down quite a bit. She is also more likely to cling to anyone she befriends and be overly worried about them at any given time.
