Watatsuki no Yorihime is a Lunarian princess who, along with her older sister Toyohime, is in charge of the Lunarian Defense Corps. She appears to be primarily responsible for training the moon rabbits. Both sisters used to be Eirin Yagokoro's pupil before Eirin fled from the lunarians with Kaguya Houraisan. They were also originally the masters of Reisen Udongein Inaba before Reisen fled too and another Reisen (Rei'sen) took her place. (She doesn't like much Rei'sen for being a replacement.

General Information Personality Yorihime is more serious than Toyohime and it seems she doesn't waste an opportunity to tell her elder sister how carefree she is, especially about how much of her free time she wastes eating peaches. She spenda most of her time training the Lunar Capital Defense mostly forcing them do harsh training.

It is rare to see a genuine smile from her, usually her smiles are from either mocking or malice. She considers any species from the earth an impure being.

She respects and even if she scolds her older sister.. she loves and care about her a lot.

The only jokes she does are sarcastic ones.

Abilities Summoning the power of the gods

Yorihime's powers in Silent Sinner in Blue. 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, who, at the time of Silent Sinner in Blue, was only just learning how to do it. With this power, she can gain various other abilities depending on the god she summons:

She caused lightning with the power of Honoikazuchi to attack Sakuya Izayoi. She 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. She summoned Ishikori-dome no Mikoto to reflect one of Marisa Kirisame's lasers with the goddess' divine mirror (the Yata Mirror). After she called Ame-no-Uzume into her body and imbued herself with the power of the night, she became immune to Remilia Scarlet's bullets. The bullets wouldn't hit Yorihime even if she actively tried to touch them. She instantly defeated Remilia with a sun-based attack powered by Amaterasu Oomikami. She summoned Izunome to purify Reimu Hakurei's bullets from the calamitic power of Oomagatsumi. After defeating Sakuya, Yorihime herself claims to have a myriad of techniques, and that if she were to only use one or two per battle she could win another 39,000,000 times. Furthermore, when Marisa used Double Spark against her, Yorihime was able to prepare herself and simultaneously summon Ishikori-dome no Mikoto before any of the two lasers reached her.

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.

Easily absorbs knowledge Eirin claimed that Yorihime can learn anything in an instant (Except cooking). 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.

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

Relationships Watatsuki no Toyohime Toyohime is Yorihime's older sister. While somewhat aloof, she and Toyohime appear to hold their relationships in high regard. They do discuss daily and all but they do care for eachother.

Eirin Yagokoro She is distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son), Eirin was also their teacher, whom they treat with much respect and admiration, despite Eirin being a fugitive. Of note is that Toyohime and Yorihime never refer to Eirin Yagokoro as "Eirin", but only as "Lady Yagokoro", as "Eirin" is not her true Lunarian name.

Reisen Udongein Inaba Reisen was her former pet. She misses and despises in an equal way.

Rei'sen Rei'sen is her current pet. Doesn't care much about her unless is to make Rei'sen train way harder than the rest of the Lunar Capital Defense.

Junko Hates and fears junko in an equal way ever since Junko, Hecatia and Clownpiece tried to raid the Lunar Capital.

Lunarians are the people living on or coming from the Moon. The term refers to a specific species, but more generally refers to humans and gods that ascended from the Earth and took control of the moon. This does not include moon rabbits.

Lunarians in Touhou Thousands of years ago, the original Lunarians consisting of Lord Tsukuyomi and his most trusted relatives, including the older Eirin Yagokoro, came from the Earth to the moon. They were able to do so because they had the revelation that the world was built on probabilities and anything could happen, allowing them to artificially increase the probability that living beings on Earth would find their way to the Moon. Their reason was to leave the impurity that was ravaging the land. It somewhat implied that the original Lunarians were human, as the Lunarians resemble humans in most ways to the point where they can live as humans (functionally speaking) on Earth, and are classified as human in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense (however, the author Hieda no Akyu does not seem to be aware of the extraterrestrial origins of the people being classified as such). However, Lunarians are closer in nature to hermits or celestials than normal humans. They naturally live much longer lives, and are even said to live forever; they are not true immortals, however, and may die eventually due to unnatural causes such as accidents or battles. Lunarians also allegedly have superhuman stamina and abilities beyond even youkai of the Earth, and possess some of the most advanced technology that there is.

Supposedly, according to Kaguya Houraisan, the Lunarians not only are the originators of most powers on Earth, but also turned some earthlings into monsters in order to regulate the Earth's impurity. However, Yukari Yakumo has an alternate origin of youkai, saying in narrative to herself that it was the moon's dim light which gave birth to the youkai in a manner of speaking, by causing humanity to fear and create legends about them. [8] The two explanations are not entirely mutually exclusive, and may be a result of differing outlooks or parts on the matter. For example, the Lunarians may have purposefully dimmed the moon's light to make humanity's fears create the youkai.

The Lunar Capital appears to have a mix of Chinese and Japanese architecture and dress styles, but the extent of the connection between Lunarians and these cultures is unknown.

The Lunar Capital (月の都 Tsuki no Miyako), or Lunatic Kingdom (ルナティックキングダム Runatikku Kingudamu), is a thriving, ancient metropolis and currently the only known one on the Moon, located on its far side. With its civilisation mostly having Lunarians and Moon Rabbits, its technology and weaponry is known to be far more advanced than that of the Outside World. The founder and lord of the capital is Lord Tsukuyomi. The Lunar Capital is also the legendary Dragon Palace (竜宮 Ryūgū), also called the Dragon King's Palace (竜宮城 Ryūgū-jō), that Mizue no Uranoshimako managed to reach, but it doesn't seem to be common knowledge since characters such as Rinnosuke Morichika still think of the Dragon Palace as a completely different place on the bottom of the sea.

General Information

The Moon Palace Gate in Silent Sinner in Blue The capital is protected by a barrier that hides its existence. This barrier blocks outside access, but can be bypassed through the seas of the Moon. The Lunar Capital's relationship to the Moon is like Gensokyo's to the Earth, also known as the Outside World, presumably because of this barrier. Like Gensokyo, it thus could effectively be considered another world. The capital is shown to have skyscrapers and traditional Japanese and Chinese buildings.

The majority of Gensokyo's inhabitants are well aware of the existence of the Lunar Capital. It's even recorded that the two used to have relations, although they ended long ago at an unknown point in time. Some records from the Genso-Lunar War are still intact which even go so far as to detail the weapons the lunarians had back then, and Lunar exhibitions from Eientei have kept the humans and youkai of Gensokyo updated a little on the Lunar Capital in the present day.

The majority of the Outside World, however, seem to be much less aware of it. As shown by the story of Mizue no Uranoshimako, who was made to believe that he found the legendary Dragon Palace on the bottom of the sea,[3] the Lunarians are actively attempting to keep the existence of the Lunar Capital a secret to prevent the beings of the Earth from searching for it. There may, however, be some on Earth in the outside world in high places of authority who are aware of the Lunar Capital. The people from the Apollo missions were referred to as "assassins" in Silent Sinner in Blue, and there may have been ulterior motives to the cover up of the Earth's "defeat" in the Lunar War. However, for the public, any indication from the Earth's defeat in the Lunar War with the Apollo project that might have given clues to the Lunar Capital's existence were presumably covered up when only the successful landing on the Moon and not the "defeat" was reported to the public at large. For the second invasion (presumably the Chang'e program), allegedly either lunarians or moon rabbits made contact with the humans that landed on the Moon urging them to co-exist peacefully, but if so, it is likely this was concealed from the public too.

Although the Lunar Capital is protected by a barrier, things such as humans planting a flag on the Moon or colonizing it still presents a major problem for unspecified reasons. It is serious enough that humanity planting a flag and simply attempting to establish bases on the moon is referred to as the "Lunar War" and their failure to do so considered a "defeat". For both that past invasion and the one taking place in the present day, actual combat is being heavily considered due to humanity's attempts to establish bases on the Moon. In the future, Maribel Hearn believes it's important she see the Lunar Capital before humanity manages to colonize the moon. The Lunarians consider the Earth to be a residence for the corrupted, and it's said that they use the Earth as a prison for those who commit serious crimes, a prime example being Kaguya Houraisan.

Although the Lunar Capital is protected by a barrier, it is possible to bypass it in multiple ways from Gensokyo, those include travelling through the Dream World's secret passageways that the Moon rabbits use or using a Sanctuary as a passageway.

Sub-Locations Moon Palace The Moon Palace is the home of Watatsuki no Toyohime, Watatsuki no Yorihime and Rei'sen, having the Moon Capital Gate Guards guarding the entrance.

Moon Rabbits Rabbits (兎 usagi) living in Gensokyo seem to be able to cast attack magic naturally. Also, a rabbit can become a type of youkai after existing for a long period of time, gaining sentience and increased abilities in the process.

There are also Moon Rabbits (玉兎 gyokuto, literally "jade rabbit"), inhabitants of the Moon who seems to be more powerful than normal Rabbits. Moon Rabbits are seen as tools by Lunarians and are used for a large variety of tasks including farming, pounding medicine, cleaning and as soldiers in the Moon's war effort. In the Touhou world, the use of rabbits as part of the Moon's population comes from ancient tales in East Asia, possibly related to the fact that ancient Japanese people saw a rabbit on the moon pounding mochi, as opposed to a smiling face (the "man in the Moon"). Moon rabbits are not considered to be youkai by the moon's inhabitants and Reisen displays no understanding of the term; however, where the moon rabbits came from has not been explained, and as the Lunarians claim to have created youkai in order to regulate the earth, it is possible that the rabbits were created by similar means.

Both earth and moon rabbits have a strong connection to other rabbits of the same type. Earth rabbits can sing and dance in unison. Moon rabbits can communicate telepathically between each other across extremely long distances (like from the Moon to the Earth).

Personality-wise, both moon and earth rabbits tend to be laid back and carefree. They are sociable and love lies, gossip and rumours. Perhaps as can be expected of rabbits, they do not make very good fighters, but can still be trained as such, even if reluctantly. Living in an eternal and unchanging realm also causes moon rabbits to have strange mindsets by Earth standards - in particular, moon rabbits are said to have no real sense of duty or loyalty as humans would understand it, with Reisen Udongein Inaba only developing these traits due to her prolonged exposure to the impurity of Earth.

It is customary for earth rabbits and a mandatory duty for some moon rabbits to pound mochi into rice cakes. The earth rabbits of Eientei do this during the Monthly Lunar Festival, thought up by Eirin Yagokoro to help keep the full moon away, on the night of the full moon. They mostly dedicate this labor to Lord Daikoku (and his 180 children), who they revere, Kaguya Houraisan and Eirin Yagokoro, presumably out of respect. Eirin mixes drugs into the dumpling recipe, some of which are formulated to make rabbits more excitable, since she expects the rabbits to secretly eat some themselves and wants them to enjoy the festival (Tewi has noticed this, but not directly complained). Moon rabbits meanwhile must pound mochi to atone for their master Chang'e's sin of drinking the Hourai elixir. Although they are said to pound rice cakes, in reality they are attempting to create the Elixir of Hourai. However, without Kaguya's power, they have yet to succeed.

It is unspecified why or how Chang'e was the moon rabbits's master. In the actual legend, Chang'e ordered the moon rabbit to make a new immortality pill for her once she had ascended to the moon from the earth after consuming the original, which she stole from her husband, so that she could return to him. It is implied in the Touhou Project that Chang'e is a native Lunarian, as her true name is not Chang'e, but instead something unpronounceable to beings of the Earth.

Even though they may have a humanoid appearance, they can be identify earth and moon rabbits alike by the two elongated ears on the top of their heads.

Moon Rabbits, coming from a pure land such as the moon, are supposed to be close to (yet not fully) immortal (as long as they stay away from impure places such as Earth, like Lunarians), but can be killed in battle. It is stated that there are not many soldier rabbits left from the "last war". Whether this war was the Genso-Lunar War one thousand years ago or the Lunar War only a few decades ago was not specified.
