(Delete if you like, but the "shinigami eyes" ability is so unique (with no known folkloric origin as far as I know) that it is most likely a very obvious homage to Death Note)

===Origin===
Gothiruselle appears to be based on a stylized depiction of a young woman wearing {{wp|gothic lolita}} style clothing. Its ability to predict the future using stars may allude to {{wp|fortune-telling|fortune teller}}s. Additionally, Gothiruselle's ability to see its trainer's lifespan is similar to the "shinigami eyes" ability from the manga ''{{wp|Death Note}}''. This suggests that it may be based on the character {{wp|Misa Amane}}, who possessed the ability and often wore gothic lolita clothing.
