1. #1Youmuconstant

   Keys: Youmu, Konpaku

   [Youmu danmaku "bullets" are slashes in air that she does with her swords or even bullets from her other half.]

   [Youmu spell cards are usually based on Youmu swordsmanship, like making her make the target get slashed a thousand times or more.

   Some of Youmu spell cards are: "{Ghost Sword "Fasting of the Young Preta"}; {Preta Sword "Scroll of the Preta Realm"}; {Hungry King Sword "Ten Kings' Retribution on the Preta"}; {Hell Realm Sword "Two Hundred Yojana in One Slash"}; {Hell Fire Sword "Sudden Phantom Formation Slash of Karmic Wind"}.]

   As Youmu has a straightforward diligent personality, she is often manipulated by those around her (especially Yuyuko). For this reason, she often fails at her task, but that does not mean that she has no real power, and she particularly excels at instantaneous force and concentration power. In Immaterial and Missing Power, as stated by the shishou, "truth-slashing is something which you know", so she often performs tsujigiri-like moves, but Suika Ibuki pointed out that she does not think that Youmu understood her shishou's teachings.

   She has strong sensitivity, her human half was unable to resist the insanity-inducing effects of the true Moon, causing her to become "half-insane". Ironically enough, considering her species, she is afraid of ghost stories, dares, and darkness, but she is calm around phantoms since she is half phantom herself. After defeating Fujiwara no Mokou, Yuyuko pretends there is a ghost under a tree, earning a terrified shriek from Youmu.

   Youmu is a swordswoman who dual-wields two special swords, Roukanken and Hakurouken. As a result of Youki's disappearance, Youmu's sword training is incomplete. However, despite her unfinished training, Youmu is extraordinarily skilled in swordsmanship, as she can consistently win spellcard duels which are meant to be long-ranged with just her skills. Youmu can perform a constant barrage of flying slashes as danmaku, and is also extremely fast which helps her close in on opponents and deliver a flurry of slashes faster than the eye can see.

   Youmu is very agile and has very fast reflexes. Youmu runs very fast.

   Youmu has short silver hair and blue eyes. Youmu's outfit generally consists of an aquamarine vest and skirt over a white undershirt with several ghost insignias along the edges of the skirt and one on the breast pocket of her vest. She wears a black bowtie and hairband with a black ribbon tied off-center in her hair. She carries the Roukanken; a long katana with a large white tassel on the handle and the Hakurouken; a wakizashi (Short Japanese sword). Her ghostly half is a white phantom as large as her human self.

2. #2Yuyukoconstant

   Keys: Saigyouji, Yuyuko · Secondary: Ghost Princess

   Yuyuko is a very cheery and happy person, being very good-humored and rather motherly and mature. She can sometimes be a bit of an airhead, however at others she is extremely smart and cunning. She's also an incredible lover of food, known for her grand appetite, which most likely doesn't do much, due to her being a ghost.

   1º ("Yuyuko")= {{Yuyuko Saigouji is very cheerful and friendly. Her playful, good-humored personality, otherworldly beauty, and courtesan charm can have a disarming effect. She often makes bizarre and nonsensical remarks and sometimes seems to overlook the obvious, leading to her characterization as an airhead or a ditz. For instance, in Touhou Bougetsushou, she toyed with Youmu Konpaku as a daily occurrence even with Ran Yakumo present.

   However, at other times she will reveal an extremely cunning and perceptive side and will also sometimes display an extraordinary level of knowledge. For instance, in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she was the quickest character to identify the culprit as Tenshi Hinanawi when the incident was in the omen stage (Yukari Yakumo spoke of the dwindling of phantoms as Komachi Onozuka's negligence, but Yuyuko guessed correctly). Additionally, she obliquely informed the playable character about the location of the incident regarding the divine spirits. She is also known for her incredible appetite.

   Yuyuko has maroon eyes, and short wavy pink hair, and is surrounded by several small formless Phantoms. In all of the games, she wears a light blue and white kimono with dark blue trim and white designs; a blue mob cap on the front of which is a hitaikakushi with a red ghost insignia; and a veil of the same color as the kimono behind her head. She wears dark shoes with blue ribbons attached.

   This is the ability to, without exception and without permitting any resistance, end the life of any living being, whether it be human or youkai. The only kind of creature immune from this is Hourai Immortals. Be aware that this does not mean that she can make any person die instantly, but rather that she can make it so that any person will die with absolute certainty, regardless of whether they wish to die or not. Clearly and simply, it is an unusually and dreadfully powerful ability. Although the fear and responsibility brought by this ability is what drove her to commit suicide and become a ghost, it seems that she hasn't forgotten this ability since then, and it seems that she can use this ability in a carefree manner (though she doesn't act carelessly in the usage of this ability). However, whether she's able to end life only to the extent of fainting, or if she tempts one to death gently, is unclear. During her lifetime, the latter was true. Her Last Word "Saigyouji Parinirvana" is said to be the very incarnation of this ability.}}

3. #3Hakugyokurou

   Hakugyokurou (白玉楼, lit. "Tower of White Jade") is a ghost shrine overlooking the Netherworld. It is well known among the afterlife realms for its cherry blossom gardens, and many ghosts come to see them every spring.

   The term Hakugyokurou comes from Chinese legends of the Tang Dynasty (唐朝). It was said to be the place where artists go after death. Li He (李賀), a poet from the Tang Dynasty, heard a voice in a dream he had as he was dying; the voice said, "Hakugyokurou has been completely built, so come and write down its details." The story is the beginning of Hakugyokurou.

   Yuyuko Saigyouji is the lady of Hakugyokurou, and Youmu Konpaku acts as its gardener. The massive youkai cherry tree, the Saigyou Ayakashi, can also be found lying dormant in the gardens of Hakugyokurou.

4. #4Saigyou Ayakashiconstant

   Keys: Saigyou Ayakashi

   The Saigyou Ayakashi (西行妖 Saigyou Ayakashi) is a youkai cherry blossom tree and the largest in the gardens of Hakugyokurou. It has existed in the Netherworld longer than the Ghost Princess, Yuyuko Saigyouji, herself. Some of the spirits in the Netherworld remember the Saigyou Ayakashi having the most beautiful blossoms they had ever seen, but the cherry tree has not bloomed for ages. There currently seems to be a powerful seal within the Saigyou Ayakashi, leaving it unable to blossom at all during spring. Whether the tree is sealing something or whether the tree itself is being sealed remains a mystery to most outsiders.

   A long time ago, there lived a divinely talented poet who traveled around Gensokyo. When the poet became aware that the hour of his death drew near, he chose to begin his eternal rest under the most beautiful cherry tree he could find. After the poet's death, word of the beauty of the cherry tree began to spread across the land. That cherry tree has grown even more beautiful since then, charming many people into choosing to rest in peace beneath its blossoms.

   After absorbing the blood of so many people, it turned into a youkai cherry tree with the ability to lure people to their death on its own, and came to be known as the Saigyou Ayakashi. Eventually, the beautiful blossoms of the Saigyou Ayakashi were sealed away, using the bodies of Yuyuko and several others buried beneath it, and now remains within Hakugyokurou.

   Yuyuko's corpse was buried under the Saigyou Ayakashi after she committed suicide.

   It is unknown if the tree can still drain the life out of people while it's not in full bloom. However, as the charm of its flowers has been removed, and due to it now residing in the Netherworld, it is largely not a real danger.

   It's not recommended to be near the Saigyou Ayakashi. The Saigyou Ayakashi tree has some strange magic that can charm people into resting in peace under its blossoms, and then draining the life out of them.
