Kaguya Houraisan | The Banished Neet

Kaguya Houraisan. The banished princess. The very person who established Eientei and its Japanese style mansion. Someone addicted to last generation gaming and manga.

Kaguya is a Lunarian. Able to manipulate eternity and the instantaneous. At least 1300 years old. The ‘highest’ authority in Eientei.

Kaguya is described as haughty and relatively wild, often sneaking out to visit the human village. She apparently is refined in the art of conversation, but her vocabulary is a bit dated. She also enjoys receiving guests at Eientei, telling stories, and showing off her possessions.

Although originally very selfish and seeing Earth's inhabitants as beneath her, Kaguya gradually became attached to how life on Earth was far more emotional than life on the Moon. She states that she disliked how she stood out on Earth and attracted much attention due to her beauty, despite never doing anything unusual, and feels at ease in Gensokyo, where she wouldn't stand out at all even if she went out of hiding.

Backstory Kaguya was born in the royal house of the Moon a very long time ago and was treated with utmost care as a princess. However, due to boredom, she 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 became troubled the more people were aware of her. 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.

Relationships: Eirin Yagokoro Eirin is Kaguya's servant and friend. She is also the one who made the Hourai Elixir for Kaguya, and when sent to Earth to bring her back on the Moon, she killed the other emissaries and helped Kaguya hide herself. Now she serves Kaguya faithfully within Eientei as its live-in doctor. Despite finding her to be naive at times, Eirin nonetheless enjoys Kaguya's company as the two relax together during the monthly lunar festivals. Silver hair in a braid, grey eyes.

Reisen Udongein Inaba Reisen is loyal to Kaguya, and Kaguya has been shown to be caring of her. Despite their good relations, Reisen often ends up being chastised by both Kaguya and Eirin for her mistakes. Additionally, the pair refer to Reisen as a "pet" on more than one occasion and treat her similarly to a regular rabbit at times; it is unknown if this is done in jest or not, however.

Fujiwara no Mokou Mokou and Kaguya seem to have a mutual rivalry. The two fight, compete, and even kill each other for fun and to alleviate the boredom of eternal life. In Imperishable Night, Kaguya sends the player characters to fight with Mokou, calling it a "trial of guts."

Although their rivalry is usually thought to be serious, Mokou has expressed care for Kaguya (though unbeknownst to her). Outside of their continuous rivalry, Mokou and Kaguya hang out at the village when Kaguya is able to sneak out of Eientei.

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. One of the few women in Gensokyo to wear masculine clothing. Able to manipulate fire and other sorcery. Commonly associated with phoenixes with her preference for fire magic and physical combat. Big bust.
