Side Characters (villains) Eirin Yagokoro: Eirin Yagokoro is a Lunarian who was involved with the founding of Lunar Capital on the Moon alongside Lord Tsukuyomi, before fleeing from the Lunarians to Earth. She's an archer and medical genius who created the Hourai Elixir with the help of Kaguya Houraisan's power to control eternity which lead to her living in Eientei after choosing to stay with and devote herself to Kaguya on Earth rather than take her back to the Moon. 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 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. Helped Kaguya put a fake moon in the sky to hide them from Lunarians Kaguya Houraisan: Kaguya Houraisan is the former princess of the Lunar Capital who was exiled to Earth after consuming the forbidden Hourai Elixir, granting her absolute immortality. Preferring the emotional richness of Earth over the sterile Moon, she went into hiding at Eientei with her servant Eirin Yagokoro, eventually orchestrating the "Eternal Night" incident to sever ties with the Lunar emissaries. She possesses the powerful ability to manipulate eternity and the instantaneous, allowing her to halt change completely or control the smallest units of time. Despite her carefree and whimsical nature, she carries herself with royal haughtiness and speaks in a confusingly archaic dialect that reflects her ancient lineage. Now living openly in Gensokyo, she spends her days seeking amusement and engaging in vicious, regenerative deathmatches with her bitter rival, Fujiwara no Mokou. She set up the fake moon to hide from lunar emissaries. Reimu is the carefree shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, tasked with maintaining the Great Hakurei Barrier and protecting Gensokyo from youkai. Despite her critical responsibilities, she is naturally lazy, blunt, and intuitive, often preferring to lounge with tea rather than train or strictly follow rules. She possesses immense natural talent, utilizing "cheat-like" barrier magic and the ability to float out of reality to resolve incidents through sheer luck and instinct. Although her duty technically pits her against youkai, she frequently socializes with them, leading to her shrine being visited more by spirits than potential human donors. Consequently, she struggles with a perpetually empty donation box, leaving her and the shrine completely broke. Ultimately, Reimu relies on her raw power and easygoing nature to maintain balance in Gensokyo, serving as a bridge between the human and spirit worlds. Marisa Kirisame is an ordinary human magician living in the dangerous Forest of Magic, having severed ties with her family to pursue the arcane arts through sheer determination. Unlike those born with innate gifts, she is a self-made sorceress who secretly trains tirelessly while projecting a brash, carefree, and slightly boyish persona to the world. She runs the Kirisame Magic Shop, though she is better known as a compulsive hoarder and "thief" who frequently "borrows" items and copies spell techniques from other magicians. Her combat style prioritizes speed and overwhelming firepower over complexity, utilizing her broom for flight and the Mini-Hakkero to unleash massive, destructive beams like the "Master Spark." Marisa speaks with a distinctive, informal flair and is driven by a deep-seated ambition to prove that a human's hard work can rival the natural might of youkai. Sakuya Izayoi is the human head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, serving her vampire mistress with a complex mix of elegance, seriousness, and occasional airheadedness. Despite her polished appearance, she maintains a cold and informal distance from most humans and youkai, often appearing indifferent or even hostile to outsiders. She possesses the powerful ability to manipulate time—stopping or slowing it to clean efficiently or unleash infinite volleys of knives in combat—though she cannot reverse time to fix what is broken. Her personality has a unexpected rough edge, as she is known to slack off when unobserved and will curse heavily when her patience is tested. While she works hard to maintain the mansion, her loyalty is specific to her mistress, Remilia, often leading her to act more like a babysitter than a traditional servant. Sanae Kochiya is a shrine maiden and "living god" who migrated from the Outside World to Gensokyo to save her patron deities, Kanako and Suwako, from dwindling faith. Initially arrogant and expecting to easily dominate the fantasy realm, she was humbled by the local inhabitants and now recognizes she is merely a normal human by Gensokyo's standards. She serves the Moriya Shrine with boundless energy and confidence, often viewing dangerous youkai extermination as an exciting game or adventure. As a native of the modern world, she distinguishes herself by frequently referencing science and pop culture, applying "outsider" logic to spiritual problems. Despite her ability to summon actual miracles, she occasionally struggles with insecurity compared to veteran exorcists like Reimu. Ultimately, she is an adaptable and cheerful newcomer striving to prove her worth while tending to the whims of her two resident goddesses. Yukari Yakumo is an ancient youkai sage and a primary architect of the Great Hakurei Barrier, serving as Gensokyo’s shadowy guardian. She wields the god-like ability to manipulate boundaries, allowing her to control the fundamental limits of existence, such as the line between reality and illusion or life and death. In combat, she utilizes spatial "gaps" to travel instantly or unleash bizarre weaponry like trains and tombstones, backing her magic with deceptive physical strength. Despite her immense power, she acts as a lazy and whimsical mastermind, preferring to sleep all day or manipulate others into solving incidents for her. She deliberately cultivates a reputation for being fickle and unreliable to mask her true, calculated dedication to Gensokyo's safety. This complex facade allows her to protect her home from the shadows, often using her high intelligence and powerful shikigami to maintain order without revealing her hand. Alice Margatroid is a solitary youkai magician and former human who resides in a Western-style house deep within the dangerous Forest of Magic. Rather than fighting directly, she is a master puppeteer who manipulates an arsenal of self-made combat dolls to overwhelm opponents, always keeping a guard doll nearby for protection. Despite being one of the strongest individuals in Gensokyo, she habitually holds back her full power during battles to avoid appearing too formidable. Her personality is deeply introverted and stoic; she avoids small talk, rarely initiates conversation, and prefers the quiet company of her books and tea over social interaction. However, she retains a sympathetic connection to humanity from her past life, often offering hospitality to lost travelers, even if her eerie collection of dolls tends to unnerve them. While she maintains a polite and indifferent distance, she occasionally engages with the community by showcasing her puppetry at festivals or visiting libraries, balancing her reclusive nature with a hidden kindness. Youmu Konpaku is the half-human, half-phantom gardener of Hakugyokurou, diligently serving her mistress in the Netherworld. She wields two legendary blades, Roukanken and Hakurouken, granting her the fearsome ability to cut through virtually anything, from phantoms to human confusion. Despite her exceptional swordsmanship and speed, she is often characterized as "half-baked" and easily manipulated due to her overly earnest and straightforward nature. Ironically, she harbors a deep fear of ghost stories and darkness, despite her lineage and residence among the dead. Her speech reflects her disciplined mindset, often coming across as stoic, emotionless, and bluntly honest without regard for social niceties. Ultimately, she strives to overcome her immaturity through relentless training, balancing her dual nature while protecting the ghost princess. Junko is a sagacious spirit who has purified her own existence into a divine embodiment of pure resentment against the Lunarian goddess, Chang'e. Driven by the ancient tragedy of her son's murder, she stripped away her original identity to focus entirely on her grudge. She orchestrated a strategic invasion of the Lunar Capital by flooding it with life-filled fairies, intending to force the purity-obsessed Lunarians to flee so she could assassinate Chang'e during the chaos. Her power to "purify" serves as a terrifying weapon, allowing her to refine substances—including her own emotions—to their primordial, god-like state. Despite being fueled by absolute fury, she possesses a disturbing calmness and polite demeanor, speaking with dignity and reason even while plotting murder. She is a ruthless antagonist who prioritizes lethal efficiency over the aesthetic "beauty" typically found in spell card battles, yet she remains rational enough to adapt her plans when necessary. Cirno is a childish and immortal ice fairy residing near the Hakurei Shrine who famously proclaims herself to be "the strongest" in Gensokyo. Despite her overwhelming confidence, she is actually quite weak and simple-minded, suffering from a severe case of the Dunning-Kruger effect. While she is considered an "idiot" by most, she is relatively smart for a fairy, possessing enough knowledge to teach a basic math class on fractions to her peers. Her arrogance leads her to recklessly challenge opponents far superior to her, often refusing to back down or admit defeat even when the outcome is obvious. In battle, she wields the ability to manipulate cold, freezing everything from water to flaming attacks, though she often uses this power just to freeze frogs for fun. Ultimately, Cirno is a loud and obnoxious trickster who lives entirely in the present, fueled by a delusion of grandeur that masks her naive nature. Koishi Komeiji is the whimsical younger sister of Satori who resides in the Palace of the Earth Spirits, having sealed away her own mind to escape the hatred directed at her satori species. By permanently closing her "Third Eye," she sacrificed the ability to read thoughts but gained the power to act entirely on unconscious impulse, rendering her mind unreadable even to her sister. This detachment grants her a unique form of invisibility, allowing her to wander Gensokyo completely undetected and be immediately forgotten by observers the moment she leaves their line of sight. She exists in a state of blissful, childlike detachment, behaving like a wandering cat who acts purely on whim without the capacity to feel the deep loneliness of her isolation. In battle, she wields the terrifying ability to manipulate the unconscious, forcing opponents to confront their repressed fears and psychological weaknesses. Currently, she roams aimlessly, though Satori hopes that giving Koishi pets to care for will eventually help her reopen her heart to others. Suika Ibuki is a jovial and honest oni who, unlike her brethren who retreated from humanity, seeks to restore the lost bond between humans and her kind. She is almost always intoxicated and loves partying, often appearing childish and simple-minded on the surface. However, this carefree demeanor hides a sharp, observant mind that despises cowardice and bluntly calls out the insecurities of others. True to her oni nature, she possesses overwhelming physical strength, often cited as one of the most powerful youkai in all of Gensokyo. Her signature ability allows her to manipulate density and sparseness, letting her turn into mist, create clones, or grow to a gigantic size at will. She uses these powers to challenge humans to fights, maintaining a strict code of fair play even while ruthlessly flattening enemies with her sheer might. Fujiwara no Mokou is an immortal human residing in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, having consumed the forbidden Hourai Elixir over a millennium ago to spite the moon princess Kaguya. Originally an aristocrat's daughter, her resulting inability to die or age forced her into a solitary existence as a wanderer, estranged from normal human society. She has since adopted a guarded, tomboyish persona, speaking bluntly and dressing in masculine clothing while keeping her painful past a secret. Despite her isolation, she finds a twisted sense of purpose in her daily, violent deathmatches with her arch-nemesis Kaguya, as neither can permanently kill the other. While she possesses mastery over fire sorcery and can regenerate from total annihilation, she still feels pain and hunger, making her eternal life a grueling endurance test. Nevertheless, she quietly serves as a guardian of the forest, guiding lost travelers to safety before vanishing to maintain her distance. Byakuren Hijiri is a monk and sorceress who, fearing death after her brother's passing, mastered demonic magic to regain her youth, a power that relies on the continued existence of youkai. Consequently, she became a protector of spirits, leading humans to brand her a "demon in human guise" and seal her away in Makai until her eventual release. Now residing at the Myouren Temple, she serves as a compassionate advocate for peace and coexistence, using her magic to drastically enhance her physical strength when self-defense is necessary. Despite her unconditional love for all beings, she struggles with deep loneliness, as her strict abstinence from meat and alcohol isolates her from human social customs. While she understands that youkai can be aggressors, she remains a disciplined and tolerant figure, hiding her sorrow behind a saintly demeanor while striving to bridge the gap between the two races. Patchouli is the reclusive and taciturn magician of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, known for her dark demeanor and preference for solitude over social interaction. A dedicated intellectual, she follows a strict "by the book" approach to magic, manipulating the five Chinese elements alongside sun and moon attributes. This specific mastery earned her the nickname "the one-week girl," as she habitually aligns her elemental usage with the corresponding days of the week. Despite her immense magical potential, her capabilities are significantly hampered by her chronic poor health, including asthma and anemia. These physical frailties often prevent her from completing complex incantations, forcing her to rely on shorter spells or retreat into isolation when her condition flares up. Consequently, she remains a grumpy and passive figure, finding comfort in the quiet consistency of her studies rather than the chaotic world outside.
