Elly (エリー Erī) is the gatekeeper of Mugenkan, which is a border between the Dream World and the real world. It's so rare that people come there that she is rather surprised when both Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame show up one after another, and she fails miserably to stop either of them from entering. She blames it on the long time it has been since she last fought as she says she's really strong.

Story
- Lotus Land Story
At the time when the main character fights Elly, she says she's the guard of Mugenkan. She also says to either Reimu Hakurei or Marisa Kirisame (depending on who you choose to play has) that the oppisite person has already entered Mugenkan and vice versa. She was defeated by either the two before the player has met Elly. She states that she has not fought for a long time before this event. <Insert Main Summary>

Relationships

Additional Information
Trivia
- She could've been part of the inspiration for Komachi Onozuka. Both of them carry scythes and are shown to be poor at performing their jobs. In Phantasmagoria of Flower View's Extra stages, the enemy is also invincible for an amount of time that increases after each stage.
- She's notorious for her rage-inducing boomerang scythe.
- She is the only boss in the series to start out invincible for an extended length of time.
- Elly is the only character in the whole series to use tiles as danmaku.
- Elly appears on the score screen of Lotus Land Story and is one of the few PC-98 characters who has a full in-game portrait; however, she is shown in plain black and white and has no colouring.
- Elly seems to have somewhat of a notable chest as you can see a curve next to her left arm (it's more apparent on the score screen portrait).
- Since other than Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame, Elly has not fought for a long time. There might be a possibility that Kurumi (who appears to be the guard of the Lake of Blood) has defeated all intruders until both Reimu and Marisa came.
Fanon
- Ever since the release of the Bad Apple!! video by Shadow Art, which is a remix of Lotus Land Story Stage 3 theme, Elly has quite notably grown in popularity, gaining fans who are technologically incapable of playing the game she's in. There are also those who don't have a clue on who Elly is when they see her near the end of the video.
- Because of this video, a number of Touhou fans will sometimes get confused whether or not "Bad Apple!!" is Elly's theme.
- Some fans joke about Elly chucking random tiles at random characters...
- Some people say that she's based on the Grim Reaper due to the scythe.
