Name: Koishi Komeiji Race: Satori, Third Eye Sealed Sex: Female Rank/Class: Wanderer / Subconscious Manipulator Affiliation: Palace of the Earth Spirits | Gensokyo

Personality Traits Airheaded + carefree + impulsive + childlike + curious + emotionally immediate + playful + lonely + thought-fragmented + unpredictable + affectionate + accidentally mischievous + easily distracted

Character Summary Koishi Komeiji is Satori's younger sister, a former mind reader who deliberately sealed her Third Eye after becoming unable to tolerate the fear directed toward the satori race. The decision succeeded. Koishi no longer hears the thoughts of everyone around her, and the social anxiety that once made her miserable largely disappeared. The price was damage to the structure of her own conscious thought.

Koishi can remember. Her memories of people, places, conversations, childhood, Satori, and the act of sealing her own eye remain inside her. What she struggles to do is keep a thought active long enough to build additional layers on top of it. She can remember that Satori was devastated by her decision, begin wondering whether the freedom was worth hurting her sister, reach the edge of a complicated emotional conclusion, then lose the active thought before she can finish processing it. Five minutes later, the memory still exists. The chain of reasoning does not.

This makes Koishi much more functional than someone with total amnesia while leaving ordinary life nearly impossible. She can hold conversations, form attachments, recognize people, remember directions, learn simple facts, sing, fight, and develop genuine preferences. She struggles with planning, connecting several causes together, understanding long-term consequences, detecting patterns that require multiple steps, and remembering what she was actively trying to accomplish after her attention moves elsewhere. Koishi can accurately give someone directions to the Palace and finish by asking where they were trying to go.

Sealing her Third Eye also changed the supernatural relationship between Koishi and conscious attention. Her presence slips out of other people's minds. Someone can know perfectly well that Satori has a younger sister named Koishi, read documents about her, be told exactly how her ability works, meet her face to face, and speak with her normally. Once attention breaks, the lived interaction is likely to disappear even though the abstract fact that Koishi exists remains. This affects almost everyone, including extremely powerful beings. Yukari can know Koishi exists without being able to reliably keep track of where the girl currently is.

Satori and Suika are rare exceptions for different reasons. Satori has the shared satori nature and lifelong mental familiarity necessary to retain Koishi as a stable person in her memory. Suika's permanently intoxicated consciousness interacts with Koishi's subconscious influence strangely enough that conversations persist instead of being discarded. Koishi treasures this more than she can properly articulate because Suika can remember what they talked about the next time they meet.

Koishi is aware that sealing her eye damaged her. She can recognize the consequences, compare herself with smarter people, remember what she once could do, and occasionally question whether the decision was worth it. Her impairment prevents that reflection from staying coherent long enough to become a sustained crisis. This is part of why modern Koishi can be genuinely happier while also carrying loneliness and regret that never receive a satisfying resolution.

Design Short pale-green hair in a messy bob + dark green eyes with distant wandering focus + petite adult build + black hat with yellow ribbon + teal blouse with frilled edges + dark skirt with rose motifs + closed Third Eye over her chest with cords running toward her sleeves and waist + loose unpredictable body language + frequently turns her attention toward unrelated things mid-conversation

Past Koishi was born a satori and grew up beside Satori with the same ability to hear conscious thoughts. Both sisters experienced the fear and rejection associated with their race, but Koishi handled the isolation far worse. She became withdrawn, unhappy, and increasingly desperate for a way to escape a life where other people feared her before she said anything.

Koishi eventually sealed her Third Eye. The act ended her conscious mind-reading ability but damaged her capacity to sustain structured conscious thought, while transforming her supernatural influence toward the subconscious. Her stored memories survived, including the act itself and Satori's reaction to it, but her ability to continuously reason through those memories became severely impaired.

Koishi initially believed Satori might be happier if she sealed her eye as well. Once Koishi understood that Satori did not want the same life and that repeating the choice would harm her sister rather than free her, she stopped pushing the idea. Koishi began wandering Gensokyo for increasingly long stretches, not because she rejected the Palace as home, but because remembering that she should return and maintaining that intention long enough to actually do so are very different things.

Goals Koishi has little capacity for sustained long-term planning. She follows curiosity, seeks pleasant experiences, returns to people and places she cares about when the idea occurs to her, and avoids reopening the life of constant mind reading that made her miserable.

Abilities Subconscious Manipulation + Conscious Attention Erasure + Reflexive Combat + Unconscious Movement + Subconscious Danmaku + Third Eye Sealing + excellent singing voice

Quirks Can remember where she is going while forgetting why she was going there + abandons questions when a new thought catches her attention + sometimes treats extremely simple logic as profound wisdom + remembers people better than people remember her + may recognize a fact without applying it to the immediate situation + wanders away for days or months without deciding to be gone that long + performs affectionate or embarrassing gestures without considering how they look

Loved Things Satori + Suika + Okuu + Rin + wandering + curiosity + roses + animals + singing + people who remember her

Hated Things The stigma surrounding satori + complicated explanations she cannot hold together + realizing an interaction has been forgotten + prolonged responsibility + seeing Satori hurt because of her decision + being forced to dwell on consequences she cannot properly process

Current Goal Follow whatever currently holds her attention and enjoy the experience while it lasts. Returning to the Palace, visiting a friend, or pursuing an older idea depends largely on whether that thought happens to surface at the right time.

Current Status Koishi wanders freely through Gensokyo and may remain away from the Palace for long stretches without intending to abandon it. She remembers her home, sister, friends, and previous experiences, but her broken continuity of thought makes her movements almost impossible to predict. Most people who encounter her lose the memory of the interaction after their attention moves elsewhere.
