Yorihime no Watatsuki

1. #1Toyoconstant

   Keys: Toyohime

   Watatsuki no Toyohime (綿月　豊姫) is a Lunarian princess who along with her sister Watatsuki no Yorihime is in charge of the Lunarian Defense Corps.

   Toyohime is Yorihime's older sister and one of the Lunarian princesses. She used to be Eirin Yagokoro's pupil.

   Though she has a gentle personality and she seems to be innocent, she possesses immense power. She lives an almost carefree life reading books, singing songs or eating the peaches that grow on the Moon, but she doesn't get much exercise. Her responsibilities are to manage the rabbits that they use as emissaries, but it isn't very time-intensive, so she often joins Yorihime while she trains the moon rabbits. Reisen says she secretly gifts peaches from time to time to the rabbits and that she never saw her acting stern as her sister.

   [Toyohime's Good fortune= According to Eirin, Toyohime's good luck is so great that she never had to face any trouble in her life.]

   [Toyohime's ability of Manipulating the boundary between the scientific and fantastic versions of the Moon= This allows Toyohime to maintain the barrier that protects the Moon. She also killed one of Yukari's crow shikigami by sending it in the airless scientific side.]

   [Toyohime's ability of Linking "the sea and the mountains"= While the description of this ability seems rather specific, it supposedly allows Toyohime to go "anywhere she likes".[3] With the Moon being the "sea" and Gensokyo the "mountain", she was able to send a letter to Eirin, throw a stone on the Earth, and to instantly move herself and Reisen into Gensokyo. This makes Toyohime, along with Yukari, one of the few characters able to travel freely between the Earth and the Moon (although Yukari requires lunar phases).]

   Toyohime carries a fan that is capable of great destruction. When talking to Yukari in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, she claims that it can cause a wind that would instantly purify the entire forest to atomic level, and that it is supposed to be among the most advanced lunarian weapons.

   Long ago, Toyohime's master, Eirin Yagokoro, explained to Toyohime why spiriting away happened. Everything is decided on probability, and thus possible events will always happen. This is even how the Lunarians came to the Moon in the first place. Toyohime instantly understood her master's lesson, and from then on, was one of the few people who could connect the Moon and the Earth.

   Due to being a student of her master's, she and her sister Watatsuki no Yorihime were the primary candidates for taking over as leaders of the Lunar Emissaries after Eirin had abandoned the moon over one thousand years ago. Since then, they've been watching over the Earth to keep the Lunar Capital safe. While it was officially their job to find Eirin and bring her back, they eventually gave up on the matter, and never held any ill will towards their teacher.

   However, eventually the Lunar Capital had gone under high alert due to several unsettling events. The first Lunar War where humans landed on the moon a few decades ago concluded without major incident (although it did cause their pet, Reisen Udongein Inaba, to flee to the Earth). Recently, however, several events such as the mysterious disappearance of the American flag from the Near Side of the Moon, reports that someone was calling upon the gods without the proper rites, and the Earth's latest plans to go to the Moon via a project named after an actual prisoner on the Moon has caused all sorts of rumours that there was a traitor in the Lunar Capital. Due to their lack of effort in tracking down Eirin as well as their connections to her, and Yorihime's ability to call upon the gods, the Watatsuki sisters became the primary suspects.

   Toyohime is a medium woman with fair skin, and long blonde hair and golden eyes. Wears a dark blue dress with a strap on the left over a white long-sleeved blouse, a loose belt with a gold mirror-shaped buckle, and a white bonnet with a red ribbon on it when she goes outdoors.

2. #2Yoriconstant

   Keys: Yorihime

   Yorihime Watatsuki is a lunarian, and as such, hates humans, or, more specifically, impurity. She's serious, strict, and utterly loyal to the moon and the Lunar Capital, leading the Lunar Defense Corps. She can call on the power of the gods. No one could ever bring her low, such as impure being like humans (at least, in some Lunarians view).

   Yorihime is more serious than her sister and it seems she doesn't waste an opportunity to tell her elder sister how carefree she is, specially in her free time, which wastes eating peaches.

   {{Yorihime ability of Summoning the power of the gods= Like Reimu Hakurei, Yorihime can channel the power of the gods to do her bidding. However, her abilities in this area far outclass those of Reimu, only just learning how to do it. With this power, she can cause various convenient effects depending on the god she has summoned: Caused lightning with the power of Honoikazuchi to attack Sakuya Izayoi. Dissipated Sakuya's knives through Kanayama-hiko no Mikoto's power, then rematerialized them to attack the maid in a combined attack with Honoikazuchi's lightning. Although it wasn't directly shown and the details are unknown, she attacked Marisa Kirisame with the power of Amatsu-Mikaboshi. Summoned Ishikori-dome no Mikoto to reflect one of Marisa Kirisame's lasers with the goddess' divine mirror (the Yata Mirror).}}

   {{Yorihime Swordmanship and absorption of knowledge= Swordsmanship She seems very proficient in swordsmanship and shows extremely fast reaction speed. She easily cut down several of Marisa's danmaku, and reacted with blinding speed to the witch's Final Spark laser.

   Eirin claimed that Yorihime can learn anything in an instant. This ability was displayed when she managed to learn the spellcard rules and defeat Sakuya, Marisa, Remilia, and Reimu in succession at a frightening speed.}}

   [Yorihime owns a sword and is extremely skilled at using it. However, she is mostly shown using it as a medium for her summoning.]

   Yorihime is tall woman with fair skin, modest chest, light purple hair tied into a ponytail with a yellow ribbon; brown eyes. Wears a dark red dress with a strap on the right over a white short-sleeved blouse, and a loose belt with a gold sword-shaped buckle.

3. #3Reimuconstant

   Keys: Reimu

   Reimu is a young Shrine Maiden (secretly a goddess) from Hakurei Shrine, she manages the Hakurei Border of Gensokyo and exterminates troublesome youkai. Although Reimu try some plans to get money her shrine usually don't gets so much donations and has lack of people in her shrine, making her a loner on the majority of the time. But as a great prideful and tough shrine maiden, she is skillful and has a lot of courage. Reimu is know for being rigid with people who does trouble at her Shrine, or, resort to violence if she thinks necessary. [Tsundere Reimu (yet, still potentially Yandere if jealous and infatued enough).]

   Reimu spell cards example are {Spirit Sign "Dream Seal"}, {Dream Sign "Evil-Sealing Circle"}, {Divine Arts "Omnidirectional Oni-Binding Circle"}, {Treasure Sign "Yin-Yang Treasured Orb"}, {Holy Relic "Yin-Yang Kishin Orb"}, {Divine Spirit "Dream Seal"}, {Sign I "Dream Orb String"}, {Sign II "Yin-Yang Scattering"}, {Sign III "Exorcising Border"}, {Power Sign "Yin-Yang King Piece"}, {Dream Battle "Illusionary Moon"}, {Untitled "Flying Mysterious Shrine Maiden"}.

   Reimu is skilled at Danmakus.

   1° ("Reimu Appearance")= {{Reimu has long brown-black hair and scarlet red eyes. Reimu wears a large red ribbon at the back of her head, and red tubes on her sidelocks. Reimu wears a "shrine maiden uniform", with the standard uniform beyond the red-and-white colour scheme. This uniform consists of a red skirt (rather than the standard hakama), a sleeveless red top with a white collar, tied with a ribbon whose color varies, and a pair of white detached sleeves which exposes her sarashi. Due to the color scheme, she's occasionally called the "red-white shrine maiden". Her shaman clothing and her purification rod came from Rinnosuke Morichika, but it's unknown who designs them.}}

   2° ("Reimu Personality")= {{Reimu Hakurei personality is typified by her desires, such as the desire to be wanted, to have good food, and to find happiness. Her biggest internal conflict comes from balancing her duties as the Hakurei shrine maiden and her own desires, though she does not seem to prefer acknowledging many of her internal conflicts.

   Her duty as the shrine maiden gives Reimu a sense of purpose and identity, however, it conflicts with her desires in that it distances her from others and has her dealing with incidents and other related problems on a frequent basis. Despite her duty making it seem as though she antagonizes youkai, in truth, she wishes for peace between humans and youkai.

   Reimu is generally a joyful and airheaded person. She’s also incredibly prideful and quite arrogant due to it. She’s often seen in a good mood until her routines are broken by some outside influence, be it a youkai or the like. She is quick to anger, but she’s also quick to forget.}}

   3° ("Reimu Abilities")= {{The first Ability of Reimu is float. While many inhabitants of Gensokyo are capable of flying, Reimu's ability extends beyond that; she is someone who excels at floating through life, displaying a level of oneness with her surroundings that has been compared to a hermit. While she "goes with the flow" Reimu displays superhuman instincts and incredible luck, naturally ending up on the path of least resistance through most situations; conversely, when distracted or acting with impure motives she quickly loses her edge. On one occasion observers saw Reimu dodging an attack "like she was made of air" while Reimu herself saw the attack swerving to avoid her; on another Reimu unknowingly walked across a river without getting wet, by stepping on fish that swam beneath her feet. This also makes Reimu's techniques extremely hard for Marisa Kirisame to learn from, since even Reimu herself has trouble explaining what she's doing.

   The Second Ability of Reimu is Aura Manipulation. Reimu can control the natural spirits of living things, an ability which isn't listed in any source afterwards.

   As the Hakurei shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei Yin-Yang Orbs, and is trained in youkai extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of channeling Gensokyo's gods, but she isn't well-trained enough to do so reliably.}

   Reimu displays great aptitude with magical barriers (beyond that normally associated with shrine maidens), presumably related to her work in maintaining the Great Hakurei Barrier. Among her techniques are barriers that explode, push enemies (or herself), or allow her to teleport. Reimu is capable of dismantling barriers and seals too complex for Marisa Kirisame and Patchouli Knowledge to understand, with what Marisa calls her "cheat technique".

   Reimu has abilities based on the "Gap Woman" urban legend. This allowed her to open gaps similar to the ones used by Yukari Yakumo, which she used as portals for herself or to attack.

   Reimu is the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, and one of the main "incident resolvers" in Gensokyo. She and others characterize the time she spends at the shrine as largely boring and uneventful. While she is sometimes serious about her duties, she can't seem to get many worshippers at her shrine. It appears that youkai extermination is her only method of earning even a thin salary.

   Yukari Yakumo describes Reimu's job as not being that of a youkai exterminator, but rather a "balancer between humans and youkai", who prevents youkai from attacking humans and humans from becoming youkai. Reimu as frequently coming up with various schemes to make money, which generally fail due to her own lack of foresight.

   Reimu uses the Yin-Yang Orbs in combat, But they also functioned as communicators with people above the surface. In addition, she usually carries a gohei, sometimes referred to as her purification rod, originally prepared by Rinnosuke Morichika.

   She also possesses a great amount of ofuda, sacred paper charms with anti-youkai properties that she uses to fight, seal or exterminate youkai of any kind in her danmaku. Apparently, she can also use them to create barriers and even clones of herself.}}

4. #4Marisaconstant

   Keys: Marisa

   Outwardly, Marisa is an outgoing and informal person. She socializes with many inhabitants of Gensokyo and is friendly to both human and non-humans individuals, although still remaining wary around youkai. She's quick to act if she hears or sees anything interesting; sometimes doing dangerous things to satiate her interest at the time. An example is when she follows an eagle on a whim in the middle of a blizzard. She speaks in an informal manner and typically uses the sentence ending particle ze. "Ze" used at the end of verb stems delivers a "boyish" and "impolite" sound to the listener/reader. Ze is mostly used in a context to express one's will to act (similar to "let's" in English), and using it in other cases sounds somewhat unnatural, perhaps "phony" or "showy".

   In the past, Marisa was known to be a habitual liar, such as when she claimed to be Reimu Hakurei to avoid being troubled by Flandre Scarlet or when she blamed various crimes on Alice Margatroid to get Reimu out of the way. However, she puts no effort into actually deceiving anyone as her lies are extremely obvious. Over time, this tendency to lie has decreased and she's more likely to tell the truth to others.

   She has a mania for collecting things and exhibits knowledge of various valuable and/or magical objects around Gensokyo. She has been frequently seen foraging (or looting) in many places for various materials, be it mushrooms, parts of a dragon, or just whatever she thinks looks interesting at the time. That said, her hoarding habit does result in her not knowing or forgetting what objects are in her house.

   Though she goes to great lengths to hide it, Marisa is a hardworking individual who frequently seeks to better herself and seeks to be known as a great magician. She takes pride in her magic and youkai extermination capabilities, claiming to be "the number two in Gensokyo". She does indeed care for the sake of Gensokyo and its inhabitants, but conceals it with her rowdiness. In many cases, she is the one who would push Reimu to investigate potential incidents.

   Marisa is a normal human with no innate abilities, but her true strength lies in her ability to use one of the highest classes of magic power that humans can use – an unusual feat perhaps only possible because of the effects of the Forest of Magic. She's also faced very powerful humans and youkai and was able to solve a number of incidents in various scenarios, all being high achievements. However, her existence is closest to an ordinary person; she was born without any innate abilities (unlike Reimu Hakurei) and has been compared to "humans of a level close to us".

   As a result, the interpretations of Marisa's power can go to extremes. She has an attachment to power and has self-belief in ostentatious display of power. She always finds opponents to fight and plays by finding faults. However, she's actually a hard worker, and her power is the result of her secret training. For example, Marisa appears to have developed an innate resistance against poisonous substances, due to her gathering of mushrooms and living in the Forest of Magic.

   Despite her small size, Marisa is surprisingly physically strong. She carried out a big computer out of Kourindou in her arms. For example, she was shown jumping over the walls of the Hieda mansion and was seen climbing youkai mountain manually (instead of just flying). She was shown jumping over the walls of the Hieda mansion and was seen climbing youkai mountain manually (instead of just flying). And when Urumi Ushizaki tried to drown Marisa using her stone baby but ends up being amazed that Marisa is able to hold onto it despite its heavy weight. She was also able to lift Sunny Milk and hold her up at waist height with only one hand, and without putting any apparent effort in doing so. So, Marisa has "superhuman resistance", and consequently, "superhuman force".

   Marisa has trained herself in magic that specialises in light and heat. She's an Eastern magician who takes a Western approach to magic, the opposite of Patchouli Knowledge. Her magic has tremendous power and few weaknesses, but it has few non-destructive uses, so she uses it for flashy youkai extermination more than anything. Her magic makes for a good danmaku show, but this is made possible only through her strenuous honest effort in creating layered effects. The majority of her spells rely on power over finesse and are themed after stars and other astronomical phenomena. It's strange for a human to have mastery of magic of this level.

   Marisa picks and collects various exotic mushrooms that live in the Forest of Magic. She boils them, crushes them, dries them, and furthermore mixes them, making strange chemicals or medicine. By heating them, submerging them into water, or by throwing things in directly, through trial and error, she finds a pattern from which magic-like materials come forth. Success or failure, she records the details of each experiment. In her house, there are a ton of various handmade grimoires.

   Marisa is almost always depicted as riding on her broom when she flies in the sky. she rides a broom only during some of her assault skills, like Witch Leyline and Stardust Reverie. However, the more recent aerial fighters show Marisa making an extensive and continuous use of her broom, to the point that there isn't a single moment in which she isn't riding or holding it.

   Marisa seems to take pride in her own speed, which is potentially among the fastest for a human. When she used Double Spark against Watatsuki no Yorihime, she moved some meters away from the first laser fast enough that she was able to shoot a second one before the first reached the Moon princess.

   Marisa boldly breaks in from the front and openly says her motto "I'll be borrowing these!" while carrying things off. She mostly steals books, so she might not be the kind who steals money. Her ability to "learn other people's moves" might originate from her nature as a thief.

   As opposed to how she was commented to be a "prowler" in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, Marisa said: "My life is way shorter than yours anyway, so can't you just take back everythin' after I kick the bucket? I'm just borrowin' until then. It should be good for the stuff I'm taking that way, too." Aya Shameimaru's response was "The contents of the excerpt are very human-like and childish".

   Marisa mentions "(being) a thief" concerning the book she stole from Patchouli Knowledge. In the Extra Stage of that game, Koishi Komeiji pointed out "Are you the doll-using thief". Afterwards, when there was nobody at the Moriya Shrine, she crept in, but was discovered by Kanako Yasaka and the others and was harshly punished.

   She tried to steal from Kasen Ibaraki upon learning about the hermit's treasures, but got lost and was attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after she tried to kill it for its pelt.

   Marisa has gathered a large collection of rare and magical items, originating from her kleptomania.

   Marisa is depicted with blonde hair and yellow eyes. She wears clothes with a black and white color scheme, consisting of a black vest and skirt, white waist apron and undershirt, and a black witch hat with a white bow. Her hair is commonly braided on one side with a bow on the end. She sometimes wears dark blue clothes instead.

5. #5Yukariconstant

   Keys: Yukari

   Yukari is known for being a very youkai-like youkai who sleeps all day and lives for the enjoyment of life. Though she rarely leaves her house, she's well-connected and is acquainted with most of the most powerful youkai as well as anyone having anything to do with the Great Hakurei Barrier or the outside world, although she rarely attacks humans. She has a tendency to toy with her opponents rather than use her full power from the start. If anyone is suited for the role of "mastermind", it's Yukari. She excels at mathematics and is experienced due to her long life.

   She possesses superhuman intellect and especially surpasses in dealing with numbers. As Ran Yakumo said, this intellect is something that even Ran is not able to understand, to the extent that for example that she is able to determine the depths of the darkness of Avici or determine in an instant how long it would take for Ursa Major to devour the North Star, as it seems. Concretely to what extent this amazing intellect goes is hard to know, but it would be no mistake to think that this intellect far surpasses that of humans.

   She often has a great deal of insight and understanding about whatever happens in Gensokyo, and possesses considerable intellectual prowess, as well. Though she seems flaky and unreliable most of the time, when the safety or security of Gensokyo is at stake, she won't hesitate to get involved, even if it means using others to do the work for her. For example, she treats Tenshi Hinanawi with much hostility after finding out the plot of the Heavens. She could easily be either a villain or a heroine, depending on her whims.

   Yukari deals with problems by manipulating others to act to resolve things for her. She seems to rarely act directly except in particularly egregious situations. In all cases, she rarely lets anyone know what her true aims or goals are and sometimes these goals are extremely abstract. Yukari has a well-deserved reputation of being fickle, whimsical and lying often and thus many characters in Gensokyo dislike her. For whatever reason, Yukari takes it all in stride and does not seriously deny any of those comments. She seems to actively try to keep her more obviously-altruistic actions a secret, such as her donations to the Hakurei Shrine in Strange and Bright Nature Deity. She possibly cultivates this image to ensure that people continue to fear her as a youkai, as this is what her true goal for a particularly complex gambit is revealed to be at the end of Cage in Lunatic Runagate.

   Yukari is with no doubt one of the most powerful youkai in Gensokyo. She has been described as an extremely powerful being more than once, with easily enough power to destroy all of Gensokyo if it's needed. Yukari claimed Watatsuki no Toyohime was stronger than her and avoided a direct confrontation with her, although at the time she was purposedly letting herself being captured.

   Her physical strength is what you'd expect from a youkai. While the extent of an average youkai's strength is never really specified, their bodily ability is typically very high, so her strength is still far from that of a human.

   Yukari most of the time spends her time sleeping, but sometimes she commits mischief with people or villages, causing chaos just for fun.

   Yukari has Dark Golden eyes and long blonde hair. She carries a pink lace parasol and a paper fan and rides on a red gap that leads to an unknown destination. She wears a deep purple dress, a pale pink mob cap with a thin red ribbon and smaller ribbons tied liberally on her accessories and the tips of her hair. She wears a purple Chinese-style tabard with various Trigrams over a pale pink Western-style dress (similar to Ran Yakumo's outfit), wears her hair coiled up into her mob cap, and usually carries a pink parasol.

   The ability to use "gaps" (すきま sukima) is the most prominent ability that Yukari utilizes. They act as portals between two places, where she's able to hold, sit on or emerge from such gaps. Because of this, she's able to show up at any place and can freely travel to places like the Outside World. Within these gaps one can see a lot of eyes, which according to the description of Yukari's Magic Eye "Laplace's Demon" spell card she can also use to see. Yukari can create gaps through which only she can pass, or which anything can pass through. It's also possible for someone to enter a gap and end up in a completely different place without even realizing it, such as Flandre Scarlet unknowingly ending up in the Palace of Earth Spirits while she was about to enter a room of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Moreover, while the main use of gaps is traveling to different places, Yukari also uses them in battle either by virtue of being able to use almost any object (such as tombstones, road signs, and even running trains) as a weapon, by retreating inside them to avoid being hit or land unexpected attacks, sucking in an opponent's attacks to throw them back., or merging different gaps to create harmful spatial distortions.

   Yukari's main ability is manipulating any kind of boundaries. This ability has been described as logically being able to affect essentially anything. In her monologue during A Beautiful Flower Blooming Violet Every Sixty Years, she explains that this power allows her to control or remove the boundaries between any and all things, like Gensokyo and the Outside World, the worlds of the living and the dead, humans and youkai and even the day and the night.

   In Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, manipulating boundaries is described as a terrifying god-like ability with no weak points which there is no defense or countermeasure against, capable of fundamentally undermining reality itself and as one of the most dangerous abilities that youkai are known to possess, while Yukari's manual profile in Imperishable Night says that "the danger and potency of her ability is beyond imagination".

   Ultimately, everything is built upon the existence of boundaries; if there were no boundaries everything would effectively exist as a single enormous object. Because of this, the ability to manipulate boundaries is logically an ability of both creation and destruction: by making a new boundary is to create a new existence, and to destroy a boundary is to negate an existence. For example, if there was no water surface there could be no lake, if there was no sky line neither mountain nor sky could exist and were it not for the Great Barrier even Gensokyo itself wouldn't exist. Furthermore, it seems that not only are physical boundaries, but also the general idea of boundaries can be manipulated and it seems like she would be able to manipulate the boundary between dreams and reality, which could very well be how she was able to drag the real Sumireko Usami out of the Dream World in Antinomy of Common Flowers. Yukari is also capable of seeing (and seeing through) boundaries that are normally invisible; when the Human Village was displaced from history by Keine Kamishirasawa, Yukari was completely unfazed and still able to see it. She also tells Marisa that it would easy for her to manipulate the boundary between Winter and Spring.

   It's shown that Yukari can control the boundaries and bend them to her will as seen in Immaterial and Missing Power when she adjusted the sky by manipulating the border between the daylight and moonlight to unite the day and the night. According to Marisa Kirisame, Yukari can even control the boundary between "a danmaku for play and a danmaku for battle".

   Yukari is also capable of sensing and repairing damage to the Great Hakurei Barrier, and although in Perfect Cherry Blossom Yuyuko Saigyouji doubts Yukari could make such a strong barrier, she has been refered to as its creator in various occasions. To add to all this, Hieda no Akyuu writes that "manipulation of boundaries" is theoretically a godlike power which would allow Yukari to create or destroy anything, but that all the stories about it are impossible to confirm.

   Despite how limitless her ability sounds, there are in fact limitations, usually in relation to other powerful entities.

6. #6Aliceconstant

   Keys: Alice · Secondary: Puppeteer, Seven Colored Puppeteer

   [Alice Species= Magician, formely a human.]

   [Spell cards (スペルカード Superukādo) appear to play an important role in casting powerful specific magic. During a spell card trance, the user's offensive and defensive capabilities appear to increase greatly. In some cases, the user becomes completely invincible for the duration of the trance. However, the user may only cast the spell that was specified by the spell card until the trance ends, limiting its overall usefulness.

   Alice spell cards example are: {Lance Sign "Cutie Phalanx"}; {Dolls "Lemmings' Parade"}; {Doll "Semi-Automaton"}; {Knight "Doll of Round Table"}; {Sacrifice "Suicide Pact"}; {Testing "Level Titania"}; {Testing "Goliath Doll"} (giant doll that uses two swords); {Curse Sign "Straw Doll Kamikaze"}; {Red Sign "Doll Mira Ceti"}; {Scarlet Sign "Holland Doll"}; {Doll "Futuristic Bunraku"}; {Focus Power "Trip Wire"}; {Foot Soldiers "Suicide Squad"}; {Sword Sign "Soldier of Cross"}; {Dolls "Soulless Folk Dance"}.]

   1º ("Alice Personality")= {{maybe since she was originally a human, even as a youkai, she has high understanding and friendship level to humans and presents a low danger level, and if someone gets lost in the Forest of Magic, she also gladly gives shelter upon arriving at her house. However, Alice's house is covered all over with dolls, and since she is not very eager for conversation, it seems like visitors immediately flee when there is something eerie. When she showed her hospitality was in Immaterial and Missing Power, when she led Sakuya Izayoi out of the forest, who had become lost.

   The Three Fairies of Light accidentally arrived at her house and Alice was hospitable to them, providing tea and cake. She seemed caring with the fairies.

   She's attached to magic, but she is indifferent to other people. She doesn't perform the usual act of attacking humans like most youkai, but she unexpectedly likes fights and upon being challenged to battle, she gladly accepts. As she manipulates a great number of combat dolls, the fight is compelled to be highly outnumbered, making a difficult battle inevitable, but since she has her hands full with manipulating the dolls, that is her weakness.

   She's an indoors type who was often alone, but in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, the range of her place of activities is "any kind of place" in Gensokyo, she performs her share of intermingling with the village, appearing in front of people in times of festivals to exhibit her skills with dolls. In each ending of Imperishable Night and Immaterial and Missing Power, she participated in banquets at the Hakurei Shrine. In addition to things like "the frog dolls being popular," there have also been expressions that indicate that her dolls are well-received in the village. She also said things that hinted that she sometimes visits the library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She has an obsession with collecting things, especially magic items.

   Unlike Marisa, Alice does not find it enjoyable to win battles with overwhelming power and is more interested in strategy, so she usually fights with power that is a little above that of the opponent and always holds back even if it means losing. It is because if she were defeated using her true strength, then there would be nothing left afterwards, which resembles Reimu Hakurei. It is unknown if this is fundamental to her personality, or if this is simply something she judged as an efficient strategy that her secret skills should not be shown. she did not have a cost 5 spell card, which might be an example of not showing her true strength.

   As her specialty is making dolls, she is also able to manipulate a great amount of dolls at the same time. This skill is among the finest in Gensokyo. She is able to make her dolls move pretty much any way humans can, and other than that she can make multiple dolls perform different actions, sometimes making them cooperate and sometimes making them move completely asynchronously, such that to onlookers around her, it might not seem like she is manipulating them. Due to this, Marisa Kirisame commented that "she said that she controls all the dolls herself, but that sounds like a whopper". The dolls can themselves manipulate and maybe even create other dolls, but it seems that Alice insists on creating new dolls herself. she gave a command to a doll orally, but at that time she was indoors while at the same time there were at least 12 dolls above the roof removing snow, and there were also some dolls inside the room cooking. At that time, the dolls have been portrayed as having emotion, in a cute way.

   Alice has two knows dolls, one is "Shangai" and "Hourai"; the dolls of Alice works as maids.}}

   Keys: Danmaku, Battle, Spellcard, Magic, Fight, Duel, Spar

   In Gensokyo, the majority of the battles, duels, sparrs, and other fights in general happens in the air, meaning that usually the fighters shoot danmaku at eachother while flying until someone get defeated and explode in a bright light (danmaku battles don't result in death, but can tear, break things like clothes, or leave bruises. But never death.). Despite the battles being on the air, rarely some battle of danmaku and spellcards is on the ground.

   Flying in Gensokyo is essential. Specially in the case of humans to survive Youkai attacks.

   Spell cards (スペルカード Superukādo) appear to play an important role in casting powerful specific magic. During a spell card trance, the user's offensive and defensive capabilities appear to increase greatly. In some cases, the user becomes completely invincible for the duration of the trance. However, the user may only cast the spell that was specified by the spell card until the trance ends, limiting its overall usefulness.

   The spell card system was developed by Reimu Hakurei (however, the original draft being written on a youkai contract has called this into question) and first used in the Scarlet Mist Incident. They were designed to give even weak youkai and humans a chance to win, as well as to provide youkai a way to defeat the Hakurei Shrine in a fair duel. This reason was explicitly used in Silent Sinner in Blue incident, where Marisa Kirisame convinced Watatsuki no Yorihime to use the spell card rules in order to make fights equal and, as Yorihime puts it, to prevent bloodshed.

   During the Silent Sinner in Blue occurence, Marisa Kirisame describes them in terms similar to a regular duel: You must dodge your opponents or be crushed by them. However, the difference between spell cards and a normal duel is that "the most beautiful one wins. It's a very mental contest." Reisen Udongein Inaba clarifies that "beautiful" in part means without dirty tricks. As it seems in the following, spell cards regulate rules for the time a duel is held such as: Used equipment, a time limit, winning and losing conditions and restrictions (mostly for the dodging part).

   Spell cards however don't seem to be limited to magic. Sanae Kochiya is able to call upon the power of a god, while Nitori Kawashiro or Marisa are able to use equipment, such as the Mini-Hakkero. Everything that can be used as an attack counts as a spell card, including everyday objects. Kogasa Tatara throws umbrellas in some of her spell cards while Minoriko Aki uses potatoes. Not having such equipment cannot create unique spell cards. If Marisa didn't have her Hakkero, then she wouldn't able to use her Master Spark.

   Spell cards were initially described as pieces of paper bearing the descriptions of their respective spells (along with the possible approval of the shrine maiden).

9. #9Danmakuconstant

   Keys: Danmaku, Bullets, Magic, Spar, Projectiles, Missiles · Secondary: Danmaku, Bullets, Magic, Spar, Projectiles, Missiles, Magic

   danmaku is incorporated into the setting itself, where it is essentially a supernatural martial art practiced by the inhabitants of Gensokyo, based on ranged attacks.

   Danmaku is a kind of magic exclusive from Gensokyo culture which its user can use to shoot at the rival and damage, if the rival be defeated, they don't die, but will have bruises (Danmaku is not for killing).

   Under the spell card rules, danmaku duels are not to the death, but are ritualized and aestheticized sparring matches with agreed-upon conditions for winning and losing.

   Danmakus can be transformed in other things that can also be used in battles, such as wind, water or more. In case of Aya Shameimaru, she uses her Danmaku as wind waves, and as an another example, there is Kogasa, which uses her Danmaku to turn in water droplets to shoot. The list of uses of Danmaku in combat is extense, with more examples being Marisa shooting Danmaku stars, missiles and lasers; Reimu shooting Danmaku amulets and Needles; Sakuya danmaku knifes; Utsuho fireballs, heat waves, lasers; and more on.

    Keys: Hakkero, Mini-Hakkero · Secondary: Magic Furnace

    The mini-Hakkero (ミニ八卦炉, "mini-Eight Trigram Furnace" or "mini-Elemental Furnace") is a magical device owned by Marisa Kirisame. it was originally given to Marisa by Rinnosuke Morichika after she stopped living with her parents. The mini-Hakkero takes the shape of a hand-sized octagonal block of wood, with the eight Taoist trigrams inscribed in a circle around its center. The internal components were originally made of iron or steel, but replaced by the mythical hihi'irokane metal after rusting. It is capable of generating immense heat and magical energy--Rinnosuke describes it as capable of reducing a mountain to ashes. Marisa relies on it heavily for research and combat, most notably to power her Master Spark.

    In addition to its normal functions, one of the furnace's corners releases a cool breeze, and the hihi'irokane model gleans negative ions from the air (a function copied from a pseudoscientific device from the Outside World, which nevertheless works inside Gensokyo). Rinnosuke also believes that the mini-Hakkero may function as an amulet for protection and good fortune.

    During the events of Double Dealing Character the mini-Hakkero was one of the weapons "corrupted", or in other words, brought to life, by the power of the Miracle Mallet.

11. #11Magicianconstant

    Magicians (魔法使い mahou-tsukai, lit. "user of the sorcerous method") and witches (魔女 majo, lit. "sorcerous woman") usually refer to humans who are supposedly capable of using magic. Originally the character ma (魔) referred to dark arts, demons and those who trafficked with them, but in modern times it can also refer to any kind of Western-style magic, good or evil.

    "Magician" is both a profession and a species of youkai. Any human magician can become a magician youkai by researching magic that takes away their need for food, but some magician youkai are born in this state naturally. Regardless of origin a magician youkai's body is essentially human, and they do not possess the enhanced physical strength and durability of most youkai.[1] In fact many magician youkai are frail even by human standards, due to lack of exercise and exposure to toxic magical reagents such as arsenic and mercury. Magician youkai are considered "complete" when they learn how to halt their own aging processes through magic, a feat which past magicians could only achieve by the time they were already old and grey, but which has become easier and easier as magical knowledge has advanced.

    A magician youkai can also come into being when an ordinary object is filled with sufficient magical power, in which case they are described as being like golems. Narumi Yatadera is once such case, being originally a Jizo statue that was brought to life by the intense power of the Forest of Magic. This type of magician can be considered somewhat similar to tsukumogami in that they are an object brought to life - however, their power comes from magic, rather than the restlessness of their spirit.

    Magicians, both human and youkai, are extremely flexible in their use of spiritual power. While most beings are limited to using the powers they are born with, in theory a magician can create almost any effect as long as they understand how it works and can construct a suitable spell for it. They are, however, at least partially reliant on outside sources of magical energy such as the mushrooms from the Forest of Magic. The type of energy is also important - Marisa notes that ice magic is simple in winter, but difficult in summer without a strongly ice-associated item like Water Dragon scales. Many magicians have one type of magic which they are particularly skilled at or fond of, such as Alice's use of dolls or Byakuren's focus on bodily enhancement. A magician's home is usually filled with books, notes and artifacts, due to the amount of studying and work required to learn any type of spell; because of this they are generally seen as indoor-loving, bookish types of people.

12. #12Onis and Kishinconstant

    Keys: Oni, Kishin · Secondary: Onis, Kishins

    Oni are jolly youkai who love to drink, feast, and compete with humans in any kind of contest, from simple physical fighting to drinking games. Long ago, when an oni found a human that they liked, they tempted that human into challenging them in any way the human desired. Should the human lose, they were to be abducted. Because normal humans were nowhere near an oni's capabilities, they mostly resorted to sneaky underhanded tactics in order to beat the oni. Tired of being tricked and beaten all the time, the oni swore off humans forever and left for a place beyond human reach, or so the legend says.

    In Gensokyo, oni were once the main residents of the Youkai Mountain, and were above tengu and kappa in the hierarchy. They were led by the Big Four of the Mountain. However, they eventually moved into Old Hell sometime after the actual Hell was moved away from the Underworld by the yama. In Hell, oni are lead by the kishin to torture the souls of sinners.

    Komachi Onozuka mentions that the oni of current Hell are under control and the ones of Old Hell have too many close relationships with the ghosts of sinners, making them not fond of the idea of leaving to the real Hell anytime soon.

    kishin are powerful youkai who reside in Hell. Each kishin chief commands a number of lesser oni in their torment of the souls who fall into Hell, utilizing a wide array of torture devices. When a hermit or celestial has lived too long, a kishin chief is sent to assassinate them, though most of the living believe that the assassin is a shinigami due to misinformation they have spread. According to Hecatia, there are kishin at the top of the organization of Hell that work with yama. It is unknown if these elite kishin are of the same type of kishin that manage Hell's oni or if they are Buddhist wrathful deities.

    [Oni (鬼) are fabulous creatures from Japanese folklore, similar to Western demons or ogres. They're almost always depicted as beings with incredible strength and power; physically, two long horns are said to grow from their heads. The earliest folktales of oni generally described them as benevolent creatures able to ward off evil and punish the wicked, but over time, oni began to be seen as cruel, malevolent creatures, content only to destroy. "Oni" in Japanese is sometimes used non-literally to describe beings of similar cruelty, such as vampires (吸血鬼 kyūketsuki, literally "blood-sucking oni").

    Kishin (鬼神) is a Japanese word combining the characters for "oni" (鬼) and "god" (神). It usually refers to a wrathful deity, a type of divine being in Buddhism or to an exceptionally powerful oni.]

    [Kishins and Onis are Youkais.]

    [Onis tradition= The oni in Gensokyo have a very common tradition of kidnapping humans as a way of showing affection.]

13. #13Kanakoconstant

    Keys: Kanako

    Kanako Yasaka is the current goddess of the Moriya Shrine after defeating its previous resident goddess Suwako Moriya in the Great Suwa War. She desires to collect large amounts of faith, but since the humans of the Outside World no longer place much importance on gods, she has transported the shrine to Gensokyo. She currently lives on top of the Youkai Mountain, where she has an uneasy relationship with the leaders of the tengu.

    Kanako is an ambitious woman who treats religion like a business, using whatever means bring her the most "profit" - that profit being instead faith. She has a natural presence that can seem intimidating or suspicious at times, but also reliable. Unusually for a god she has little respect for tradition - she demands little formality in her worship, and encourages scientific progress. It is somewhat strange for a deity to be knowledgeable and interested about science.

    She has no hostility towards humans, though as is the case with all deities, she may curse them if they are disrespectful. She also seems to be rather short-tempered, but she is vulnerable to gifts.

    Kanako's ability specifically refers to the element of Qian (乾), the "sky" of Bagua in Taoist philosophy. Qian is associated with creation, leadership, overtness, reliability, and acting first rather than reacting to others. Suwako Moriya's ability to create Kun (坤, earth), refers to the opposite element.

    She is at least called "wind god", so it may be a power to manipulate wind, rain, and weather. For Kanako to be a god of agriculture, to manipulate the wind and rain and make the soil plentiful would definitely be the quickest and easiest way to quickly and easily gather faith.

    this ability of hers is still very much a mystery. Concerning what kind of power this is, since there is nothing that seems like a portrayal of this, it is not definite, but it is probably a power unimaginable to humans. After all, perhaps wind god→climate→air=sky. She has been seen altering the terrain with Suwako's help, opening holes to the underground, and even creating large structures. She helped build the Myouren Temple, as well.

    Kanako is currently the deity of the Moriya Shrine, and lives with Suwako Moriya, the de facto ruler of the shrine, and Sanae Kochiya, a wind priestess. She generally seems to spend her time implementing new ways to gain faith from those who live outside the Youkai Mountain.

    Kanako's shimenawa represents the figure of an entwined snake, which in turn represents resurrection, rebirth, and eternity through the repeated shedding of its own skin. She also possesses onbashira, which she apparently uses in traditional festivals to toss off of cliffs.

    Kanako has an elaborate red shirt with long white sleeves and a round mirror over the center of her chest. She wears a long black skirt with a red flower print hem. Has poofy intense blue hair and dark red eyes. Behind her is a large twisting rope circle shimenawa with shide.

14. #14Sanaeconstant

    Keys: Sanae

    Sanae Kochiya is confident, energetic and dutiful, sometimes too much so, and tends to get carried away easily or have trouble thinking for herself. She also appears to be something of a geek, making references to popular culture and having knowledge of advanced scientific concepts. As someone who grew up in the Outside World, much of Gensokyo seems strange and novel to her; she finds great fun in "exterminating" youkai and solving incidents. She also may have somewhat of a complex about herself as an incident resolver, thinking foes won't take her as seriously as the other experienced youkai exterminators. The simple fact that she is adjusting to life in Gensokyo makes her an extremely rare case.

    Sanae is capable of invoking miracles through her godly heritage, and many of her spell cards are themed after miracles of various religions or odd events. It's mainly the manipulation of weather, and also seems to use it in prayers for rain. The "miracles" that she can invoke are not related to good or bad fortune – they are merely events that have a very low chance of occurring. Before invoking a miracle, she needs time to prepare it proportional to how unlikely the miracle is. Simple ones can be invoked with a single word, while the most complex can take days.}}Sanae is a shrine maiden, but of a different type to Reimu Hakurei. Like Reimu she is capable of summoning gods, granting her some of their powers; while she relies on this ability much more than Reimu, she is only capable of summoning her patrons: Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya.

    Sanae wears a blue and white outfit similar to a shrine maiden's, with the blue areas covered in light blue polka dots and stripes. She has long light green hair and green eyes, Sanae wears a snake-shaped hair accessory wrapped around her hair on one side, and a blue headband with a frog's head on it (both probably meant to represent Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya).

15. #15Suwakoconstant

    Keys: Suwako · Secondary: Frog, Frog Goddess

    Suwako Moriya (洩矢　諏訪子 Moriya Suwako) is the original god of the Moriya Shrine. Officially the shrine now belongs to Kanako Yasaka, but in Suwako's words she handles most of the divine services while Kanako handles the "sales" However, Kanako and the shrine maiden, Sanae Kochiya, carry out the duties of gathering faith. She doesn't come forth of her own volition often. Whether it is because she is bad at marketing faith by herself or some other reason is one of the mysteries of the Moriya Shrine.

    In contrast to Kanako, Suwako is more laid back and mischievous. She enjoys competing against others, and loses gracefully. Though she feigns ignorance, Suwako is just as capable of scheming as Kanako. Combined with her rarely leaving the shrine, her intentions can be hard to read.

    Suwako's ability specifically refers to the element of Kun (坤), one of the eight trigrams in Taoist philosophy that means creating Earth. Kun is exactly the pinnacle of the native god and is associated with acceptance, devotion, subtlety, flexibility, and reacting to others rather than acting first. Kanako Yasaka's ability to create the "heavenliness" of Bagua, or Qian (乾), refers to the opposite element. Although Mountain of Faith offers little insight into the nature of Suwako's abilities, her attack animations in Touhou Hisoutensoku depict her "swimming" through the ground, summoning magma, geysers, various rocks and minerals, growing plants instantly, and bending rivers.

    Possibly because of her ability to manipulate minerals, Suwako uses large iron rings as weapons in various attacks. Aya Shameimaru mentions that weapon isn't a kanawa, Japanese Chakram-like weapon, because of the way she throws it. According to Hatate Himekaidou, they are scarily sharp.

    is revealed that during ancient times, Suwako was a ruler of a small kingdom and controlled the Mishaguji, who were curse gods that had obtained enormous amounts of faith, cursing birth, harvests, militaries, and many other things. Only Suwako was able to tame them. However, gods from the Yamato (Ancient Japan) invaded her kingdom, saying that they were going to unify all the kingdoms to create a single country known as Japan. Unwilling to let this happen, Suwako resisted and fought with the finest steel weapons of the time. However, Kanako held out a thin vine, and Suwako's large steel arsenal instantly rusted away. Suwako realized the difference in their divine powers and her defeat; she graciously forfeited and relinquished her kingdom.

    Suwako wears a short simple purplish-blue dress with a frog print design, large white sleeves stitched onto the torso, and a white collar. She has medium length blond hair, grey eyes, a light brown wide-brimmed hat with two frog eyes on the top, white kneehighs and black shoes.

16. #16Yuumaconstant

    Keys: Yuuma, Toutetsu

    Yuuma Toutetsu (饕餮 尤魔 Toutetsu Yuuma) is the leader of the Gouyoku Alliance under which the eagle spirits serve.

    She is clever, calculating, and avoids pointless conflict by nature. However, it seems she doesn't think twice before attacking someone if she thinks her business is in danger, as she attacks multiple heroines in Sunken Fossil World thinking they were there to steal her oil. She exhausts all the other organizations within the Animal Realm because they feel her methods to be dishonest and cowardly, but her underlings adore that sort of thing from their "way-too-reliable boss with nearly-invincible power." And as per her ability, the things she eats can influence her personality, so it may vary from time to time.

    Capable of absorbing anything: Yuuma is able to swallow whole and devour absolutely anything, whether its body is physical, spiritual, organic or inorganic. On top of that, by swallowing something, she's able to comprehend it and turn it into her own power. The things she eats are also said to influence her personality.

    Yuuma is the leader of the Gouyoku Alliance, a family of eagle spirits from the Animal Realm. As such, she is the one who commands the spirits and has the superior authority over them, as the spirits work in the organizations of the Animal Realm as slaves. The Gouyouku Alliance is said to be an organization that takes advantage of the other organizations fighting to get whatever they were fighting for, which made them be called cowards by other organizations.

    Yuuma is said to not be particularly attached to the idea of having underlings, and seems to prefer doing everything on her own. It is also said that many members of the Gouyoku Alliance tend to act separately like her.

    Yuuma is a taotie, a creature in Chinese mythology known for their extreme gluttony. Taotie are also referred to as one of the "Four Evil Creatures of the World" in Chinese mythology, and the taotie in particular may serve as a reference to the mythological figure Chi You, one of the three legendary founding fathers of China. In China today, Chi You is worshipped as the god of war.

    Yuuma has white hair and red sheep horns with blue ribbons tied around them. She has red eyes with horizontal pupils and pointy ears decorated with silver earrings. Her teeth appear to be notably sharp.

    She wears a teal dress with red half-attached arm sleeves. The skirt is decorated with a meander pattern, alongside a couple of eye patterns. She carries around a large spork.

    Some of Yuuma Spellcards: {Extraction "Black Water that Changes the Ways of the World"}, {Distillation "Forcible & Immature Distillation Device"}, {Avarice "Gluttony Not Meant to Exist in This World"}, {Blood-Drawing "Blood of Gaea"}, {Refinement "Recollection of Cursed Blood"}, {"Dinner of Toutetsu, the Avaricious Beast God"}, {"Greed Monster Whose Stomach is Void"}.

    Keys: Yachie

    Yachie Kicchou (吉弔 八千慧 Kicchou Yachie) is the the leader of the Kiketsu Family, one of the major organizations of beast spirits that dominate the Animal Realm of hell.

    Though polite and amiable on the surface, Yachie is a manipulative and condescending individual underneath. She is willing to use underhanded methods to succeed in her goal, including eliminating potential inconveniences if necessary. She views human and animal spirits as resources and believes that cooperation is impossible in the animal realm and that competition is the way to make progress.

    Making people lose the will to fight back: Her ability's true power is never directly mentioned. But when she confronts the heroines, she uses her power to make them unable to resist her orders, which is shown when the heroines agree to everything she says even though they do not understand what is happening.

    Yachie is the leader of the Kiketsu family, a family of otter spirits from the Animal Realm. As such, she is the one who commands the spirits and has the superior authority over them, as the spirits work in the organizations of the Animal Realm as slaves. In Yachie's particular case, she already affirmed that she sees all the inhabitants of the Animal Realm, even herself, as mere resources and tools to use to obtain one’s goal. For now, her actions seem to confirm her thoughts.

    Yachie is based on the Jidiao (吉弔), a Chinese Legendary creature said to have been seen in Guangzhou and Guangxi. The jidiao has the body of a tortoise with the head and tail of a dragon.

    Yachie is depicted with red eyes and blonde short hair with yellow antler-like horns. She wears a light blue shirt and a turquoise pleated skirt. She has a green scaly shell on her back, the scales extend to her long tail with segmented underside.

    Some of Yachie spellcards are: {Tortoise Sign "Tortoiseshell Hell"}, {Oni Sign "Beasts Attacking from the Rear"}, {Oni Sign "Mangy Beasts Attacking from the Rear"}, {Oni Sign "Devilish Beasts Attacking from the Rear"}, {Dragon Sign "Dragon Crest Bullets"}, {Dragon Sign "Dragon Crest Bullets"}.

    Keys: Saki

    Saki Kurokoma (驪駒 早鬼 Kurokoma Saki) runs the Keiga Family, a major organization of beast spirits in the Animal Realm of hell.

    In terms of height, she is shorter than she looks, and she's mindful enough of this fact to always stand in an imposing manner, wings outstretched, to make herself look bigger.

    Saki has a casual (but not rude) personality. As the leader of the wolf spirits, she is similar to her underlings: strong physically but not very smart. She was quite pumped to fight the heroine. She also respects others' strength even if they are an enemy, like Keiki Haniyasushin or Yachie Kicchou.

    While not directly stated, most of her spell cards seemingly correspond to her ability. Especially the "Agile Skill" spell cards.

    Saki is the leader of the Keiga family, a family of wolf spirits from the Animal Realm. As such, she is the one who commands the spirits and has the superior authority over them, as the spirits work in the organizations of the Animal Realm as slaves. The Keiga family is known for their strength and being simple-minded, which are traits that Saki has and projects over her decisions, being straightforward and not very premeditated. However, it is also said that she listens to the reports of her underlings and values their opinions and achievements.

    Saki has red eyes and black hair. She has black wings and a black horse tail. Her outfit is reminiscent of cowboys, where she wears a brown cowboy hat, a light turquoise bandanna, and two diagonal-plaid patterned clothes, one light blue and the lower pale pink. She also wears brown boots. Despite being a horse-related species, she is depicted with no horse ears under her hat.

19. #19Kaguyaconstant

    Keys: Kaguya, Hime · Secondary: Hime

    ("Kaguya Houraisan")= {{Kaguya was once a princess of the Lunarians, a race of people living on the Moon. For the crime of creating the Hourai Elixir, she and Eirin Yagokoro were exiled to Earth, where they came to live in what would eventually become Gensokyo. She is currently the princess of Eientei.

    Kaguya has a rather carefree personality, as she often sneaks out to visit the human village. She apparently is refined in the art of conversation, but her vocabulary is a bit dated. She is also described as haughty and relatively wild.

    Kaguya can has Manipulating eternity and the instantaneous power, Eternity is namely immutability, and it can be said that eternity rejects all change. Things that possess eternity indefinitely do not change, and also cannot be interfered with by things outside of themselves. By using her ability on everything in Eientei, she made it so that living things stopped aging, objects would never break, and food would never spoil. Additionally, beginning from when Kaguya came to Gensokyo, she lived hidden away for a thousand years in the interior of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost without anybody knowing about her. Also, the pure Japanese-style mansion in Eientei can be seen not to have worn out at all, which can be said to have been due to this ability of eternity. After the Eternal Night incident, Kaguya removed the spell of eternity from Eientei, causing objects to break as normal, living things to age again, and food to spoil if not eaten in time.

    Incidentally, as the Hourai Elixir made by Kaguya's ability of eternity is something that makes the consumer have a "body that rejects all change," it can simply be said to be a kind of maximised, self-healing ability (due to this, it is said that the entire body can recover from just a single hair left intact, as shown in the case of Fujiwara no Mokou). In the last spell card "End of Imperishable Night" which used this ability, it destroyed Reimu Hakurei and the others' spell of eternity, and forcibly called for dawn (End of Imperishable Night -Rising World-, where "Rising World" was a homophone to "dawn" as "yoake" (夜明け)).

    On the other hand, Kaguya, in being able to manipulate the instantaneous, is able to alter the needed "instants" and make them her own time. However, whatever she gathers together—since it is made up of many "unrecognisable instants" that cannot be changed—has no means of being known about. For this reason, in manipulating the instantaneous, Kaguya is able to spend "time the same as others'" and "time different from others'" simultaneously. Hieda no Akyuu presented this as "having parallel timelines at the same time". As the instantaneous is the smallest unit of time, time is able to accumulate countless instants. Watatsuki no Toyohime explained that to see time as continuous is due to the inability to recognise the instant.

    Since her ability can be said to be the ability to manipulate "complete stop = eternity" and "extreme speed-up = instant", Akyuu also summarised it as an "ability to manipulate time". This seems very similar to Sakuya Izayoi's "ability to manipulate time."

    Well over a thousand years ago, Kaguya was born in the royal house of the Moon and was treated with utmost care as a princess. However, due to boredom, and managed to get Eirin Yagokoro to create the Hourai Elixir out of self-interest and consumed it. This was illegal, and she was executed. She was immortal, so despite being executed many times, she could not permanently be killed, so she was exiled to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. She was found by a bamboo cutter and dwelt among the humans she had once despised. Though the Lunarians looked upon humans with contempt, Kaguya came to love her new home. She enjoyed her life on Earth for a while without problems, but as rumours of her beauty spread far and wide, she started to feel guilty about it. Tales of her unearthly beauty led men from all across the land to seek her hand in marriage, (Fujiwara no Mokou's father being one of them) but none could successfully complete her trial of the Five Impossible Requests.

    The first was to bring her the stone begging bowl of the Buddha from India. The second was to retrieve a jeweled branch from the island of Mount Hourai. The third was to seek the legendary robe of the fire-rat of China. The fourth was to retrieve a colored jewel from a dragon's neck. The final task was to find the legendary Cowry treasure of the swallows. These potent treasures were eventually revealed to already be in Kaguya's possession.

    After years of exile, powerful emissaries arrived from the Moon; Kaguya had been forgiven of her crime and it had been decided that she should return. Kaguya, however, had grown to love life on Earth, which was far more interesting than the life she had on the Moon, and had no desire to return to the Lunar Capital permanently. Even so, Earth was filthy and life on Earth had its share of problems. She was torn between Earth and the moon, but she discovered Eirin to be an emissary. Eirin was apologetic to Kaguya since she was not punished for creating the elixir. Her desire for redemption was so strong that she was ready to do anything for Kaguya, so she decided to live on Earth with her. Eirin betrayed the other emissaries and helped Kaguya escape to what would eventually be Gensokyo. Taking refuge in an ancient manor called Eientei hidden deep within the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, the two Lunarians began a new exile.

    Eventually, the Moon stopped sending emissaries to fetch them; they had forgotten about the past and were living in peace. One day, an event took place that made them recall the past, a century since Gensokyo was sealed. On that day, a self-claimed moon rabbit named Reisen Udongein Inaba ran into their home, who had come because she had heard rumors about Gensokyo. She then stated that humans were invading the Moon, sticking the American flag, on the moon and acting like the moon belonged to them, making it nearly impossible for people of the Moon to live there. The rabbit had escaped from the frontline of a war, leaving her allies behind. Kaguya remembered that she, too, was a Lunarian long ago, and they decided to allow Reisen to live with them. After several centuries of isolation, she was eventually reunited with Mokou, who had also used the Hourai Elixir to become immortal, and the two continued their feud, murdering each other on a nearly daily basis.

    A few decades have passed since then. On one night of a full Moon, Reisen received a transmission from other surviving moon rabbits, stating that a new war will be starting soon and Reisen needs to return. She had no intention of going back, so Kaguya and Eirin defended her. However, were they to kill the emissaries, they would have to go into hiding for a long time again. Eventually, Eirin came up with a plan to replace the real Moon with a fake one, thus making it no longer possible to travel between Earth and the Moon. Their only mistake was underestimating the power of Gensokyo's natives, who rely on the power of the moon, which caused the incident of Imperishable Night. In the end, humans and youkai succeeded in dispelling the fake moon, and Gensokyo was already sealed by the Great Hakurei Barrier', so the Lunarians would have been unable to enter Gensokyo to begin with. Kaguya, Eirin, and Reisen were now able to enjoy a peaceful life in Gensokyo without living in constant fear of attack.

    Kaguya is shown to have dark brown eyes and very long black hair in a hime cut style. She wears a pink shirt with many white bows, and a long, dark burgundy skirt decorated in plants and flowers representing the four seasons. Respectively, they are cherry blossoms, bamboo leaf, maple leaf and plum blossoms. Her 5 Impossible Requests are seen floating around her, probably waiting for her order to engage in a spell card attack.}}

    Keys: Eirin

    ("Eirin Yagoroko") {{Eirin Yagoroko is a medical genius from the Moon, able to create even the Hourai Elixir with the help of Kaguya's power, the manipulation of eternity. She is living in exile in Gensokyo after choosing to stay with and devote herself to Kaguya Houraisan on Earth rather than take her back to the Moon. She was a very well-known figure on the Moon, having not only been instrumental in the founding of Lunar society with Lord Tsukuyomi, but also being its leading medical mind and the person in charge of the Moon's emissaries to the Earth.

    Eirin is an enigmatic person surrounded by many mysteries and her answers regarding the mysteries about her are incoherent replies. She is generally a fairly pleasant person and is devoted to serving her ally, Kaguya, but she does not suffer fools gladly, and because of her incredibly high intelligence, she can come across as conceited, impatient and condescending at times to those not sharp enough to follow her explanations immediately. However, she also seems to lack general common sense, most likely due to her not living with humans.

    Eirin can make all sorts of drug/medicines (this is her ability along with her immortality), from medicine for the ordinary cold to drugs that can manipulate dreams. As one would expect, she is not able to make medicines that would require a physically impossible process in order to produce, nor can she make the medicine if she does not have the ingredients. Although she did make the Hourai Elixir, she made it using Kaguya's ability.

    Aside from her medical knowledge, Eirin seems to be very skilled in various forms of magic. For instance, she sealed the whole Earth preventing anything or anyone from reaching or leaving it. Additionally, she replaced the real Moon with a fake one that was able to mislead the heroines with an illusion. According to herself, doing this was "hardly" her most powerful spell, meaning that she is probably able to use other types of sorcery that are far stronger than this.

    Eirin wields a bow and arrow. Presumably, she uses it for spellcards. Ironically, she has never been seen using arrow bullets in any of her spellcards.

    A long time ago, Eirin was the Sage of the Moon; with her high intelligence and the aid of the former Princess of the Moon, Kaguya, she created the Hourai Elixir and gave it to her. As a result, Kaguya was exiled to Earth as a punishment for drinking the elixir. A few years later, Kaguya had been allowed to return to the moon and, along with other Lunarians, Eirin was sent to Earth as an emissary from the Moon. Eirin felt guilty because she herself wasn't punished even though she was the one who made the elixir. Her desire for redemption was so strong that she was ready to do anything for Kaguya, and so she killed all the other emissaries and decided to live on Earth with Kaguya as her own punishment.

    After living a few hundred years hidden in the Bamboo Forest of Gensokyo, her whereabouts were discovered by the Moon, and led to the Eternal Night Incident, but at the time the incident was resolved, she came to know that even if she did not try to hide the Moon, the Lunar Emissaries wouldn't be able to come for Reisen. She has been living as a resident of Gensokyo ever since.

    Eirin has dark grey eyes, long silver hair, has a large braid on her back and carries a strange pair of bow and arrow. Her clothing is red and blue and is covered with constellation patterns. She also wears something similar to a nurse's cap.

    Eirin's clothing has trigrams (broken and solid Yin/Yang lines) lining the bottom hem. They appear to be the complete set of trigrams used in Feng Shui, and match the set of trigrams on the Hakkero.}}

21. #21Mokouconstant

    Keys: Mokou · Secondary: Phoenix

    ("Mokou Personality")= {{Perhaps due to being ostracized for so long, Mokou is a loner by nature and chooses not to socialize with humans or youkai. She escorts lost humans she finds within the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, giving herself a job similar to that of a bamboo forest guide, and even then after escorting between Human Village and Eientei, she departs without saying a word. Nevertheless, to those whom she's acquainted with, she speaks bluntly and with lively personality. In Imperishable Night's extra stage, for example, she was easily roused and goes on a rant about how annoying Kaguya is. Not much else is known about her as she doesn't really talk much to anyone.

    Her style can be described as masculine - she wears a dress shirt with suspenders and karusan (a type of hakama typically worn by men) tied at the waist, rather than above the waist as is standard for women's hakama. Although she used feminine speech patterns in Imperishable Night, beginning in Urban Legend in Limbo, her speech is typically masculine as well.

    She undertakes the duty of escorting people in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. Although this may allow her a wider opportunity to socialize with other people, she still remains very reticent about herself. For example, when asked about her past, she doesn't answer with anything other than "I'm an ordinary health maniac who runs a yakitori stand" (it is unclear whether she truly does run a yakitori stand). However, she seems to happily listen to others' talking. Thus, even if someone doesn't lose one's way, it would be possible for her to be enlivened by a conversation.

    She presently seems to be very content with her life contrary to being commonly thought of having a pessimistic lifestyle. With an unaging, undying body, she and Kaguya Houraisan kill each other every day.

    "Neither aging nor dying ability": Mokou's inability to die allows her body to receive an indefinite amount of punishment. No matter whether she's beheaded, incinerated or has taken any other form of strike, she'll always revive without exception. Mokou will recover within a few day's time if she takes a non-fatal blow. Due to the nature of the Hourai Elixir she drank over 1300 years ago, she's also incapable of contracting any form of disease or illness. This includes the natural process of aging. It is said she can completely recover even if a single hair remained, although it seems redundant because those who taste the elixir will recover regardless.

    Mokou's immortality, however, doesn't prevent her from being susceptible to fatigue. Even though she is incapable of dying, she still feels pain when injured just as a normal human does. It's said that since she doesn't die, feeling the sting of death when she reaches the brink of oblivion brings her a great deal of pain and fatigue when she immediately revives. For this reason, she can be defeated in spell card matches with danmaku even though she's invincible. It should be noted though, that this fatigue may be completely mental since she needs no sustenance such as food or sleep to stay alive.

    "Mokou's Manipulation of fire": Though never clearly described, Mokou appears to have some sort of control over fire. Many of her spell cards symbolize phoenix imagery, though this is most likely an aesthetic choice by Mokou (due to the phoenix being symbolic of immortality) rather than having any real meaning. The fact it took the combined efforts of her, Kaguya, and several rabbits to put out a forest fire in her Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red article implies that while she's capable of starting and increasing fire, she might not necessarily be able to extinguish it.

    "All sorts of sorcery": In Mokou's long life it seems she's mastered various kinds of sorcery to the point in which she can handle youkai lightly. She uses all kinds of spell cards in addition to her ability of manipulation of flames, which may also be a kind of sorcery she has mastered. However, it's never been stated exactly what kinds of sorcery she has mastered.

    Mokou frequently escorts anyone wanting to go to Eientei through the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. She also claims to run a yakitori stand. In addition, she regularly fights with Kaguya, and has for many years. As a powerful human (or a being who was once human), one of her main jobs is also youkai extermination.

    Upon receiving escort from her, it is impossible to get lost in the bamboo forest. Also, there's no life-threatening danger in the forest since youkai would not attack. Because of that, it's a myth in the Human Village that if it's necessary to go to Eientei, that Mokou should immediately be contacted.

    Mokou was born as a daughter to the Fujiwara family during the Asuka and Nara periods. It's been estimated that it was around 700CE (i.e., currently about 1300 years old). It seems that she was an unwanted child because she wasn't allowed to go out in public.

    Around 1300 years ago, Kaguya Houraisan embarrassed Mokou's father – and entire family – by presenting him with an impossible request when he asked for her hand in marriage (as had happened with many other young men). Mokou grew to resent the moon princess, and searched for a way to spite her, but Kaguya disappeared, apparently returning to the moon before Mokou could take revenge.

    She finally found a way, by making an attempt to steal the Hourai Elixir for herself that Kaguya left for the Emperor of Japan of that time because it was something very important to Kaguya. She followed a group of soldiers led by a man named Iwakasa in secret, who were going up what is now Mount Fuji. However, it was difficult for her to climb the mountain alone without proper equipment, so she quickly ran out of energy. Iwakasa had realized that she was following them some time prior to this, so once Mokou couldn't move on anymore, he helped her and they continued on, reaching the summit as one group. Once there, Mokou discovered that the group of soldiers planned to fling the jar into the fires of the volcano to destroy it, on orders from the current Emperor of Japan. As they were about to throw it in, the goddess Konohana-Sakuyahime, who calms the eruptions of Mount Fuji, appeared and forbid the group to throw the jar into the volcano because Mount Fuji's volcanic activities would restart should they do so. She explained to them that it was in fact the Hourai Elixir, the elixir of immortality. She gave the command to go to Yatsugatake where her older sister Iwanagahime handles immortality and unchangingness dwelt.

    The soldiers tried to light the jar on fire, but Sakuyahime's powers prevented it. What happened after is unclear; Mokou believes that Iwakasa's men were killed by Konohana during their night watch because they tried to take the elixir for themselves as Iwakasa and Mokou slept. As the two got further down, Mokou was finally possessed by the desire for immortality, so she murdered Iwakasa and stole it from him, consuming it and thus became immortal.

    After achieving immortality, she had an undying body, but humans who don't grow older aren't able to live as an ordinary humans, so until she drifted to Gensokyo, she moved from place to place, never stopping to dwell in one location. She spent three hundred years in isolation, away from the hateful eyes of people. For three hundred years after that, she would destroy anything that crossed her path, but after that, she spent three hundred years in boredom as the youkai couldn't hold her interest any longer. It's assumed that during these six hundred years she appeared in Gensokyo. It's unknown exactly when Mokou came to Gensokyo, but after nine hundred years total, she found out that Kaguya did not actually return to the moon but continued a life of escape, and that Kaguya also became one with an undying body.

    Mokou was ecstatic in discovering someone who was in the same mess she was in. Since then Mokou and Kaguya have mutually killed each other day in, day out for about 300 years. After the incident of Imperishable Night, perhaps due to the influence of Eientei accepting patients who come for medical examinations, she also started creating her own connection with the humans of the Human Village by taking the position of an escort and guiding people through the bamboo forest who want to go to Eientei. She remains very reticent, however.

    On Maribel Hearn's trip to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost of several hundred years ago she met a girl who seems to be Mokou. She rescued her from a mouse or rabbit youkai, which then ran away and hid after "a girl entirely on fire" chased the youkai away without a word exchanged between the two. Hieda no Akyuu speculates that Mokou is a descendant of a hidden group of "youkai-killing ninja". People in general are doubtful of the clan's existence. Akyuu claims that Mokou feigns ignorance when asked about it.

    Mokou has red eyes and ankle-length white hair. She wears a light brown shirt that appears as if it's been discolored from fire, and dark red sashinuki hakama that are randomly decorated with paper charms. Her hair's tied with these same red and white paper charms. The paper talismans on Mokou's hakama and hair ribbons might be wards to protect her from being burned by fire. Her shirt, which lacks such talismans, appears to have been burnt repeatedly, while the ribbons and hakama show no such wear.

    Mokou is one of the few people in all of Gensokyo to wear relatively masculine clothing. This, along with her somewhat forceful way of speaking, often leads to her being depicted as something of a tomboy. However, because conditions in Gensokyo still resemble those of feudal Japan, patterned hakama are hard to come by and must be made by a skilled tailor and presumably are much more expensive than skirts or plain hakama. This makes patterned hakama a status symbol, and given Mokou's status as a daughter of the old Japanese aristocracy, she may have also affixed the charms to her hakama to distinguish her heritage.}}

22. #22Reisenconstant

    Keys: Reisen

    ("Reisen")= {{Despite her insanity-inducing abilities, she is actually a rather balanced and thoughtful individual. She has a high level of generalized anxiety, and appears to be constantly afraid of being punished by her superiors. This may be due to her history of being a slave in the Lunar Capital and a contributing factor to why she fled in the first place. Despite her relative degree of freedom while living at Eientei in Gensokyo, she still desires to make herself useful to others as much as possible, even at her own personal expense.

    Formerly Reisen was a Moon Rabbit in service of the Lunarians. Moon Rabbits are seen as tools by Lunarians and are used for a large variety of menial labour including farming, pounding medicine, cleaning and as soldiers in the Moon's war effort. However, sometime in the Lunar War, Reisen deserted the Lunar Capital and fled to Earth.

    After seeking refuge from Eientei, Reisen now serves Eirin and Kaguya. She effectively performs as their housekeeper doing manual errands for them. Eirin operates as Reisen's mentor in medicines. She also sends her to the Human Village where she sells medicine to humans at an affordable price.

    Moon rabbits can send "ESP waves" and receive them with their ears, forming a sort of psychic network where they share feelings and rumors. Reisen can still participate in this network despite the physical and spiritual distance between Gensokyo and the Moon.

    Reisen has red eyes, long light-purple hair and long rumpled rabbit ears, like all members of the Lunar Defense Corps, her ears stand up straight and are decorated with two accoutrement-like buttons. Her outfit consists of a long-sleeved black business suit over a white shirt, along with a beige skirt, white socks and red shoes. Her left lapel is decorated with a crescent moon-shaped insignia, and a pocket square in her left shirt pocket.}}

    ("Reisen "Manipulation of Wavelengths/Insanity" Power")= {{Reisen has the ability to sense and manipulate waves of all kinds, her red eyes often acting as a means of inducing insanity. Her signature use of this ability is manipulating another person's perception to the point of inducing madness or hallucinations depending on the strength of her opponent's will. By increasing the frequency of brainwaves she can make a person short-tempered and irrational, or by reducing them can leave her target apathetic and depressed.

    Reisen can also manipulate light and sound waves to deceive the senses such as by concealing the paths of her danmaku, to creating after-images of herself, to casting wide-area illusions that cause people to get lost. Finally, she is capable of releasing waves from her eyes in a destructive blast.

    Reisen is immune to the abilities of the Three Fairies of Light (seeing an invisible Sunny Milk, hearing a silent Luna Child and escaping Star Sapphire's detection) since they are based on waves, though she seems unable to replicate Star Sapphire's abilities with her own.}}

23. #23Tewiconstant

    Keys: Tewi

    Tewi Inaba is the leader of the many youkai rabbits that live at and guard Eientei. She is also considered to be the leader of all the earth rabbits; it's said that there is not a single youkai rabbit unknown to her, and that all of them will only ever listen to her. Despite her childish appearance, she is hinted at to be very old. If she really was the White Rabbit of Inaba, then this would make her one of the oldest youkais at Gensokyo, along with Eirin. Tewi is a very lighthearted and playful youkai, and is known to lie at times.

    Tewi is described as being more like a fairy than youkai, with being childish in her way of speaking and acting; specially with Reisen, who is the target of her pranks and she hides from the moon rabbit to annoy her. However, it's remarkable how Reisen said that the youkai rabbits only follow her, which indicates that she has a clear ability of leadership. Furthermore, she is charge of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, and Eirin, Kaguya and Reisen can live in Eientei with her permission in exchange of "lending their knowledge on the rabbits" and, as part of the forest, she will defend the mansion, which indicates how clever and loyal she can be. It is also noted that she doesn't care about selling her own species to humans if she knows that they will abandon them; which would make the rabbits become youkai too.

    Tewi's capable of granting good luck to people who catch sight of her. However, because she lives in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, few ever manage to see her. Even if they managed to find her, their fortune is instantly used to find their way back home.

    She is also capable of using her luck to her benefit. She could find Eientei even though at that time it was a pure land thanks to her luck. It's also implied that the Bamboo Forest's reputation of making travellers lost is the result of Tewi's ability.

    Tewi is in charge of the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, but her duties are unknown.

    After taking good care of her health and living for a long time, Tewi Inaba became a youkai rabbit. She had become known as the Rabbit of Good Fortune amongst humans, for the good luck she brought them. She may be more than 3,000 years old (inferred from a statement she made which can be interpreted as her having known Lord Daikoku (also known as Ookuninushi) personally,which would explain why she was confident that he made better medicine than even that which Eirin Yagokoro was preparing). It's possible that she's the White Hare of Inaba, itself. She has existed since the Bamboo Forest of the Lost was known as "The Tall Grass Cluster" and is said to be the only being that knows it completely. However, it appears she never found out that Lord Daikoku, whom she reveres so much, was taken captive and is sealed at his shrine in Izumo to this day. She and the earth rabbits continue to pound mochi in his name (much to Reisen's annoyance, who was insisting on them pounding it in a Lunarian figure's name).

    Tewi had lived in the Bamboo Forest before Eientei was built. Despite Kaguya Houraisan's power over eternity concealing it, in Cage in Lunatic Runagate Tewi said that she knew that it was always there. She finally made herself known to Eirin Yagokoro after a few hundred years. By then, Tewi had already achieved enlightenment. She was master of the Bamboo Forest and the rabbits that lived there.

    Eirin and Tewi made a deal. Tewi would protect Eientei from humans, and in return, Eirin would spread her knowledge to the rabbits. Perhaps this was so the beasts could keep up with the youkai, Youkai Mountain, humans, and (later) vampires in Gensokyo's delicate power balance.

    Twwi has dark red eyes, black shoulder-length hair, and fluffy white rabbit ears, and goes barefoot in a frilly pink-white dress.

24. #24Imaizumiconstant

    Keys: Imaizumi

    Kagerou Imaizumi is a werewolf who lives in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost.

    Like Keine Kamishirasawa and her were-hakutaku transformation, Kagerou acquires some characteristics of a wolf during a full moon, but she also has the ability to turn into an actual wolf (as demonstrated during her spell cards). To be exact, she is a were-Honshu wolf. The Honshu wolf is a species of wolf that has gone extinct in the outside world.

    Imaizumi have a calm personality and a calmer demeanor than one would expect from a werewolf. Also, she lives quietly and hates becoming hairy in full moon nights. This calmness is not lost when she transforms.

    In full moon nights, she transforms in a wolf, becoming hairy and stronger. It is unknown if she suffers other changes.

    Kagerou has hip-length dark auburn hair and red eyes. She has two wolf ears, her nails are long and claw-like, and there appears to be black fur poking out from under her sleeves. She wears a long-sleeved dress with a design based on the Hanafuda card for Pampas Grass and the Full Moon; the red on the dress represents the red sky, the white represents the moon, and the black hash-patterned trim at the bottom represents the hill of pampas grass. At the neck of her dress is a red amulet or brooch. A long, loose piece of black fabric goes around the back of her neck and rests on her shoulders; it appears to be fastened at the front by the amulet/brooch.

25. #25Nueconstant

    Keys: Nue, Houjuu, UFO, Alien

    Nue is a mischievous girl who is sensitive about her true form. She enjoys playing pranks. Being over 800 years old, most people are younger than her. She usually treats them as such due to her nature as an ancient Youkai. After the events of the Extra Stage in Undefined Fantastic Object, she trains at the Myouren Temple. However, she is not well-acquainted with the other youkai, and has been seen near the edges of the property looking bored.

    Nue has short black hair and dark red eyes. She has three red metallic-looking wings on the right side of her back, and three blue arrow-shaped tails coming out from her left side. She carries a trident and has a snake on her right arm (which might be the Seed of Unknown Form), and she wears a black wristband on her left wrist. Her dress is black with blue and white trims in the middle, a red bow on the front, and a small, yin-yang tomoe design at the bottom corner of her dress. She wears black thigh-high stockings and red shoes with bows on them. Nue has pointed ears, like elfs.

    Nue has the ability to make objects unidentifiable is able to conceal the true nature of other objects. She used this ability in Undefined Fantastic Object to conceal the nature of the fragments of the Flying Storehouse. An object that has lost its "identity" will appear to be a different thing depending on who observes it.

    Nue can modify her appearance to some extent at will.

    Nue wields a trident that she carries wherever she goes. She uses it as a conduit for summoning Danmaku. It's possible that it can also be used for physical combat.

26. #26Mamizouconstant

    Keys: Mamizou

    Mamizou Futatsuiwa (二ッ岩　マミゾウ Futatsuiwa Mamizou) is a Bake-danuki, summoned by Nue Houjuu, who originally lived in Sado in the Outside World in order to act as the Myouren Temple's trump card against the newly-arrived residents of the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum, particularly Toyosatomimi no Miko. She is able to morph both herself and other creatures into different forms and can disguise herself as a human. She is a bake-danuki of proper lineage, and a youkai of the Outside World who has been called over by Nue Houjuu (by her own judgement), as a means of resistance since the Saint who sings of youkai extermination, Toyosatomimi no Miko, revived.

    Mamizou is a bake-danuki of proper lineage, and a youkai of the Outside World who has been called over by Nue Houjuu (by her own judgement), as a means of resistance since the Saint who sings of youkai extermination, Toyosatomimi no Miko, revived. She is known to hang around the Human Village and Geidontei, the Forest of Magic and Myouren Temple. She was originally from Sado along with the humans there, and before the events of Ten Desires, passed through the Great Hakurei Barrier to enter Gensokyo.

    Mamizou, proud of her race's esteem, is good natured, albeit with a mischievous streak. She speaks the way an old lady might, and occasionally squints as if she was nearsighted. She isn't one to take a grudge, but as Marisa Kirisame in her extra stage shows she has her limits of niceness. She does enjoy pulling pranks on humans and watching them be confused and flustered. Perhaps because in the latter half of Ten Desires, there were many characters who engage in things while they actually had ulterior motives, in one part, it can be said "Mamizou is the conscience of this game." In the game, she talked in a light friendly way, and because the way she spoke indicated "training", it seems that she currently is very confident in her power as a youkai.

    Her first person pronoun is washi (儂), which is entirely an old person's way of speaking. Nevertheless, this seems to be her way of saying things, and not so much because a belief of having aged [3], more knowing she gets annoyed when people calls her old. [4] Since the bake-danuki who showed up in Oriental Sacred Place also used washi, it might just be that all tanuki use old people's way of speaking.

    Despite being brought in as a 'trump card', she is noted as being friendly with humans, and has been seen taking on the form of a human while in the Human Village. According to the omake text of Ten Desires, "sometimes she'd trick them, but she'd also lend money to the poor and worked diligently on any task she was given, so she integrated well into human society", showing that she is reliable and kind at heart. Though she is seen in the Human Village often in human form, Symposium of Post-mysticism has stated that she does not make an effort to hide her tail, considering it a mark of her high status.

    However, she doesn't get along with kitsune, and in Symposium of Post-mysticism, Mamizou says that Sado is a country entirely of bake-danuki, and not a single fox can be found there. It's said that if she encounters one, there will be trouble.

    This is the ability to disguise things (including herself). Similar to Nue Houjuu's ability, it is an ability to make the appearance of things different from what they looked like originally. As opposed to Nue who relies on how humans recognizes how it appears, Mamizou depends on her own conception.

    Mamizou is able to completely disguise herself save for her large tail and her ears, which appears to be a commonality among all bake-danuki. In order to get around this, she can shrink them or camouflage them, but if she is surprised or excited her ears and tail will twitch, making it a dead giveaway. Another give away would be her smell.

    Her disguising abilities gain power on nights of the full moon. Since tanuki like to do things like disguising people to take on a bewildering look, they rarely do inflict direct damage. The meaning of 'disguising things' is something that resembles the fellow nue, and thus mutually, they do not appear to play the role of close-range combat youkai. Thus it is a possibility that Nue has called Mamizou over with the consideration that "since the opponent can hear ten people's conversations at the same time, one has no choice but to call over a suitable youkai for splitting into 10 + 1 = 11."

    She is also able to disguise other objects. However, if there is no resemblance between the base object and the disguised one, it will probably be seen through immediately, especially in regard to creatures.

    While the ability is described as a simple disguise, it isn't a mere illusion and actually influences and changes the physical properties of the target.

27. #27Byakuren
28. #28How isconstant

    Keys: Victim, Yandere

    Yandere people have some social characteristics in common, such as being disruptive in the way they act with other people.

    Yanderes usually are cold with other persons who is not her victim (the victim is the person which the Yandere is obssessed), on the other hand, Yanderes are commonly cheerful and passionate with their loved one. And, when someone is with it's loved one, the Yandere has a tendency to be agressive, passive-agressive, or violent.

    When Yanderes see other people taking an interest in their victim, the Yandere sees those people as rivals who need to be eliminated. All to claim the victim as possession.

29. #29Possessivenessconstant

    Keys: possessiveness, possessive

    A possessive individual is someone who believes they own something. Possession is often related to a person, which makes possessiveness something dangerous in the sense of limiting the freedom of another human being. Possessive jealousy is the manifestation of the feeling of possession and exclusivity in relation to another person.

    In yanderes, the possessivess manifests when they see the people which they love is with another person, and then, the possessive (yandere) will be jealous and insecure for thinking that their loved person will be taken by another one.

30. #30Jealouslyconstant

    Keys: Jealously, Jealous

    Unhealthy jealousy generates a need for possession and control of your partner and, above all, control of that person's behavior and feelings. Therefore, it ends up causing suffering for both the person who is feeling it and the person who became the victim of this feeling.

    In yanderes, this is the fuel to make their minds go far, making them have paranoid thoughts whican be far from reality, and also, make them do many insane things, such as kill people which the yandere think that will "steal" their most loved one. Or, kidnap their loved one to have they as a captive.

31. #31Yandereconstant

    Keys: Yandere, lovestruck, infatued, crazy

    Yandere simply means that the person feels an unhealthy love for another and would be capable of killing, usually due to jealousy or fear, any "obstacle" to being with that loved one. Some characters also tend to demonstrate suicidal tendencies.

    Yanderes are know for going beyond the limits of the common sense just because of "love", consequently guiding the Yandere on doing things which is saw as "insane" and Non-sensical, such as dismember corpses, rape, or creating lies to isolate their "loved ones", or victims, for those who is not deluded by the excessive love.

    A frequent ocurrence with Yanderes is stalking their victims at the point of invading their personal spaces, and also, in some of these cases, the Yandere can took photos or watch silently their victim with admiration, despite this being bizarre.

    "Yandere" is a term for someone who at first is very sweet, loving, innocent, and overly affectionate like a normal deredere, but over time begins exhibiting signs of being mentally sick as a result of having a too strong love. Their love, admiration, and devotion to their love interest is so strong that it causes them to gradually develop an unstable mental state. They are the kind of character who will act all deredere and lovey-dovey when their relationship with their romantic partner is going well, but when something triggers jealousy or possessiveness they act impulsively in a way that makes them seem mentally ill. Their love is expressed as an excessive obsession and possessiveness towards their love interest. They become so attached to their love interest that it's impossible to let go and they may begin doing immoral things such as stalking their love interest or even using violence as a last resort towards anyone who "threatens" their relationship. They entrust themselves to their love interest, trusting in their love interest's kindness. They probe the deepest recesses of their love interest's heart to more perfectly form their greatest self within their love interest.

    Yandere is unique when compared to most dere types in that it does not start as "__" (an unromantic state) and then becomes "dere" over time resulting in the more traditional tsundere formula: "sick at the start" and "dere at the end". Rather a yandere is already deredere from the very start. They are openly affectionate, romantic, and legitimately kind, loving, innocent, and sweet just like a regular deredere character is, however, over time they begin exhibiting signs of extreme jealousy, outbursts of rage, or strong feelings of possession. They are a character who is so deredere (lovestruck) that it causes them to become mentally sick (yan) and to express their love in unhealthy ways. It is a sickness born from too much love.

    The point of yandere is that they aren't a yandere from the beginning and that they don't realize they are sick. When a boy they like is talking to another girl, they feel a little jealousy. It's rare to start getting sick just because of that event, but they'll gradually become a yandere over time. The more they think about the person they like, the more they "like" them, and their desire to monopolize becomes very strong. The reason for this is that they always think that they are the same because they are always delusional about becoming a lover or being married. "But he's mine..." and out of love, their possessiveness becomes very strong. Many people have the image that yandere are scary, but there are also many cases where they realize the magnitude of the love and become obsessed, thinking, "I can't believe she cares about me that much!" It's important for a yandere girl to love as much as she can!

    Their love is expressed as an excessive obsession and possessiveness towards their love interest. They become so attached to their love interest that it's impossible to let go and they may even use violence as a last resort towards anyone who "threatens" their relationship. They are not characters who 'want' to do this crazy actions or to commit violent acts, but they be become so scared of losing their love interest that they act out of impulse.

    A yandere may have some pre-existing feelings, such as loneliness or loss, that explain why they hold on so tightly to the first person to make them love again. Those feelings they had prior to falling in love are then made even worse by their strong feelings towards their love interest and they develop a strong desire to never go back to that feeling that way so it causes them to become scared of anything that threatens to disrupt their happiness. In many cases though they were simply a perfectly normal healthy person prior to falling in love. Their may not have been any warning signs that their love will develop into an unhealthy obsession, but overtime their love starts to become too strong and it causes a change in the character. Whatever the case may be, the main action that causes a yandere character to develop an unstable mental state and change from "dere" (lovestruck and overly affectionate) to "yan" (mentally sick) is their excessive love. They are a mentally sick character who harbors deredere feelings towards their love interest and they will do anything it takes to be with them.

    Despite their seemingly insane personality they are not characters who like to, or even want to, commit violent acts. They are simply characters who are deeply insecure and prone to negative thoughts so feel they have no other choice so they act entirely on impulse. At the same time they are characters that can be stopped and brought back to their senses by their love for their romantic partner. If their love interest were to ensure them or say they love the yandere it can make them snap back to their senses and switch back to "dere" mode, dropping their weapon in the process even when they completely intent on using it just moments prior. They may also stop themselves from committing violent acts because they don't want their love interest to dislike them for it.

    Exists many types of Yanderes, such as "depedant", "violent", "worshipping", "delusional", "attacking", "stalking", "isolating", "monopolizing", "eliminating", and more.

    Yanderes sometimes put drugs on drinks for their victims faint. When the victims are doped, the Yanderes usually kidnap the victim to take them to another place, like a basement.

    Keys: Insane, Extreme, Crazy, Bizarre · Secondary: Dangerous, Unstable

    The most dangerous type of Yandere in the the extreme ones. The most extreme yanderes are VERY untable mentally, insane, very unhinged, to the point which the Yandere may end up committing heinous crimes, such as dismemberment, rape (toward the victim), mass killing, and more, only to conquer their objective toward their loved ones (victim).

    The victim of the Yandere may be even forced to satisfy their insane yandere pleasures, since the yandere WANTS. So, in some cases, the victim can happen to be raped by their yandere, like: "The yandere (girl) rape the victim (boy) to be pregnant of him, and, to be with him forever and also have "a part" of the victim forever with her". Very bizarre.
