}}{{Seihou note}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Mei & Mai'''|めい&まい}} are 6-year-old identical twin sisters who were orphaned at birth. They are known as the "Death Twins" and they have appeared in all of the ''[[Seihou Project]]'' games. Their age as of ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'' is 5, and in ''[[Banshiryuu]]'' they're a year older.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Mei and Mai first appeared in the second [[stage]] [[boss]] of ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', where after they appeared as a playable character in ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''. About 7 years later when ''[[Banshiryuu]]'' had C74 version release, they appeared as the 3rd Extra Stage boss in a boss rush.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Mei and Mai have a nonsensical feeling associated with them, and thus their speech is often fragmented. Since they perform actions without thinking of before-and-after consequences, they like to come plunging in with speed.<br />
<br />
===Machinery===<br />
Mei's aircraft is smaller than Mai's and it uses lasers. Among gameplay, the timing of the rapid-firing lasers seems to be a little fast. Mai's aircraft is larger than Mei's, and it does body slams. She performs [[wikipedia:Kamikaze|kamikaze]] attacks without treating her aircraft as an important thing, so when she hits, her aircraft becomes worn out.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'' Mei and Mai have the speed-oriented-type vessel "Maelstrom", which can split into two.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
===Name===<br />
Theirs names are ''Mei'' and ''Mai''. {{nihongo|''Mei''|めい}} could mean "niece" and {{nihongo|''Mai''|まい}} could mean "dance", although there's more meanings to these two readings; they're likely to just be ordinary Japanese given names. Mai has exactly the same name as [[Mai]] from the ''[[Touhou Project]]'', except [[Seihou Project|Seihou]]'s Mai uses [[wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]] and Mai from Touhou uses [[wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]]. <br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
There are two images of Mei and Mai in the information box left from ''[[Banshiryuu]]''. The girl on the left is Mei and the girl on the right is Mai.<br />
<br />
;Mei:Mei's design in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' shows that she has dark blue eyes and green hair with a ponytail (with a white ribbon) to armpit-length. She wears black loose clothing with short sleeves and a short necklace. In ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'' she has a pink ribbon tied in her hair instead, her ponytail is neck-length and has long sleeves. In her cut-in, she possesses a scythe.<br />
<br />
:In ''[[Banshiryuu]]'', her hair is tied into a short ponytail which has grown to shoulder-length, has a yellow ribbon to hold her hair and has what appears to be white fur around the top and bottom of her dress. She possesses a purple box with a "?" written on it. It appears somewhat similar to the [http://www.mariowiki.com/Question%20Block question block] from the [http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_series Mario Series].<br />
<br />
;Mai:Mai's design in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' shows that she has dark blue eyes and has green hair with twin pigtails. She wears loose black clothing that resembles a schoolgirl's outfit with shorter sleeves. In ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'', two pink ribbons are used to tie her hair and she now has long sleeves, and in ''[[Banshiryuu]]'' she has long yellow ribbons. Also in ''Banshiryuu'', she possesses a thorned ball, has black shoes and has what appears to be white fur around the top and bottom of her dress.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
[[File:Mei2|thumb|200px|Mei & Mai in ''SSG'']]<br />
;''Shuusou Gyoku''<br />
:{{Main|Shuusou Gyoku/Story/Main Scenario|l1=Shuusou Gyoku Story}}<br />
In ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', in order to live, they undertook a request by the [[Cactus Company]] (an investigation of what is called the "[[Seihou World#Other Dimension|Other Dimension]]"). Both were sent as a pair to assassinate VIVIT, but were easily defeated.<br />
<br />
;''Banshiryuu''<br />
In the Extra Stage, Mei and Mai appear over a city in their aircrafts and appear as one of the many "evil beings". Their only expression is "I don't like you", or expressing hatred towards [[Gyoku]].<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Mei and Mai are twin sisters. Due to the sensitivity of their single-digit ages, they fight with their breaths tightly matched in a careful play of good teamwork. They keep the alternatives of kamikaze attacks and lasers up their sleeves.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;Muse<br />
A relation with [[Muse]] is unclear. In the music comments of ''[[Banshiryuu]]'', it was stated that Mei and Mai "don't have any direct relation to Muse".<br />
<br />
;Gyoku<br />
Mei and Mai simply hate [[Gyoku]]. For why they do is unknown.<br />

Pupils moist with deep vermilion, my skirt fluttering in the same sweet color,<br />
Upon these childish cheeks may scarlet drip, my legs collapse from the throbbing,<br />
Controlled by sweet hallucination, I’ll play a tune that blooms from my five fingers:<br />
The sound of a deep red tea dripping as I tease and gouge deep into your neck!<br />

|eng18=<br />
This tone of screams coming from your shriveling throat, that melody becomes a rainbow of vermillion<br />
This hue of slaughtering you, spraying in such a sweet deep color!<br />
This tone of screams coming from your shriveling throat, to it dyed by your red rain<br />
Ascending this beautiful stage, there I dance alone.<br />

''This life, because it’s yours – I’ll feast upon your flesh and blood''<br />

;Capable of possessing people<br />
She has the ability of possessing people, taking complete control of their body and even their abilities. Her victims have no memories of anything that happened during the time that they were possessed.

===Literature===<br />
;[[Foul Detective Satori]]<br />
In [[Foul Detective Satori]], Mizuchi takes possession of people and makes them fall into a coma by draining their magic energy. She picks her victims in the order of the series' incidents (Scarlet Mist Incident, Spring Snow Incident, Eternal Night Incident), meaning that she has been watching Reimu for a very long time. However, after Yuyuko, her next possession target should have been Suika due to the "Night Parade of One Hundred Oni Every Four Days" incident in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', why this was skipped is unknown, along with the Flower Incident (''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]''). Mizuchi also started with the incident of [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil|Touhou 6]], ignoring all the characters of the PC-98 era. Though this is likely because the Windows series follows a different continuity from the PC-98 series. She does it as part of her plan on taking “revenge on Gensokyo and the [[Hakurei Shrine]]". <ref name="FDS8"> ''[[Foul Detective Satori]]'' - Chapter 8 </ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Mizuchi has a dislike for both Gensokyo and its inhabitants, especially [[Reimu Hakurei]], who seems to be her main target for revenge for as of yet unknown reasons. <ref name="FDS8"/><br />
<br />
She appears to have no allies; she had received help from others only by deception, taking advantage of her ability to possess other people's bodies and manipulating friends and allies of the target.<br />

{{quote|The supreme god of Gensokyo. Humans, youkai, and all other living things worship this god. It is believed to live in the ocean, or the sky, or in the rain, but few have been able to confirm this. It looks like a serpent with hands and horns, is far thicker than a great tree thousands of years old, and is said to be long enough to block out the sky. The Dragon's cry rends the heavens and calls on thunderstorms. When it simply bends, it causes earthquakes and makes mountains crumble. Who knows what would happen to Gensokyo if something were to invoke its wrath?|[[Hieda no Akyuu]]|[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]] Dragon}}<br />
The {{nihongo|'''Dragon'''|龍|Ryū}}, also called {{nihongo|'''Dragon God'''|龍神|Ryūjin}} is, according to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', and ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'', the highest [[god]] of [[Gensokyo]]. All living things, whether [[human]] or [[youkai]], worship the dragon god. The dragon lives in sea or sky or rain, and regardless of the Great [[Hakurei Border]], the Dragon can move freely through [[heaven]], [[hell]], [[netherworld]], and the [[Outside World|outside world]]. Its voice divides the sky and causes thunderstorms. When it winds its body it causes mountains to crumble and earthquakes to occur. Despite being destructive, it is at the same time Gensokyo's god of creation<ref name="PMiSSDragon">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Dragon|Dragon]]</ref>, and the rain, the rivers, abundant greens are all due to the dragon's help.<br />
<br />
The source of this is not just from [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], but also from several other sources like [[Hieda no Akyuu]], [[Reimu Hakurei]], the [[Three Fairies of Light]] etc. The dragon god commands wide respect in Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
===Name and origin===<br />
Although sometimes simply called "the Dragon", this being has also been called {{nihongo|'''Ryuujin'''|龍神|Dragon God}}. In japanese mythology, Ryuujin is considered the tutelary deity of the sea, and is often considered the same being as {{nihongo|'''Ōwatatsumi no kami'''|大綿津見神|Great Deity of the Sea}}. Ryuujin is also the father of the goddesses Toyotama-hime and Tamayori-hime, who are themselves the mythological basis for [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] and [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]], as well as the master of the legendary Dragon Palace, which in the Touhou series is actually the [[Lunar Capital]].<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
According to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', the Dragon God looks like a serpent with hands and horns, is thicker than a great tree that's thousands of years old, and it's so long that it can block out the sky.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
In nature, there are the three attributes of the three lights, four seasons, and five phases. Within this, the dragon god comes from the five phases (commonly called [[wikipedia:Wu Xing|Wu Xing]]). Before the dragon god created the five phases, the loop of sky to rain to sea repeated over and over, and it was a perfectly harmonious world. Into this, the dragon god bestowed the shape of the seven colors of the rainbows, and the flow of the three, sky to rain, rain to sea, and sea to sky became wood engendering fire, fire engendering earth, earth engendering metal, metal engendering water, water engendering wood, wood conquering earth, earth conquering water, water conquering fire, fire conquering metal, metal conquering wood, thus creating complication and ten powers of destruction.<ref>[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]: [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 19|Chapter 19]]</ref> It is according to this that all things in existence are created.<br />
<br />
Since the Dragon God has such an astonishing scale of power as to create and destroy Gensokyo, it is no mistake to say that the dragon god has the top class of power. However, since the dragon god has never clearly appeared in any work so far other than being mentioned, judgments on its power should be put on hold.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Backstory===<br />
{{stub|section<br />
| reason =<br />
*Needs filling}}<br />
The Dragon was said to have last been seen during the Creation of the [[Hakurei Border]]. At that time, the [[youkai sages]] staked their existence on pledging eternal peace to the dragon.<br />
<!--was not seen since the time of Gensokyo's creation.<br />
<br />
The dragon god leaves a rainbow behind as a trace.--><br />
<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
[[File:FS Dragon God Statue.png|100px|thumb|right|A depiction of the statue from ''Forbidden Scrollery'']]<br />
===The Dragon God's Statue===<br />
The {{nihongo|'''Dragon God's Statue'''|龍神の石像|Ryūjin no sekizō}} is an artifact made by [[kappa]] that is kept in the [[Human Village]]. The eyes of the Dragon's statue are said to accurately predict the weather about 70% of the time, depending on their color. In ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', the color scheme of the weathers seems to partially reflect this. <br />
**The colour for Sunny ([[Reimu Hakurei]]'s weather) is white, <br />
**The colour for Cloudy ([[Sakuya Izayoi]]'s) is grey,<br />
**The colour for rainy (Sprinkle/Drizzle, [[Suika Ibuki]]/[[Marisa Kirisame]]'s weather) is blue, <br />
*They are all mentioned in the ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' article. It's also said that the eyes turn red when an incident is about to occur: in all three present cases of "red-weather" this is verified. <br />
**[[Remilia Scarlet]]'s weather, "Heavy Fog", is red (like the Scarlet Mist in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''). <br />
**[[Tenshi Hinanawi]]'s weather, "Aurora" is likewise red (she caused the entire incident in ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'', in addition to the destruction of the [[Hakurei Shrine]]). <br />
**[[Yukari Yakumo]]'s weather, "Sunshower" is likewise red (she manipulated the border of the [[Netherworld]] to allow [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] to steal spring in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'').<br />
*In ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', Hieda no Akyuu claims that "purple" is a more pale version of red, meaning a typhoon will come soon.<ref>''[[Forbidden Scrollery]] Chapter 44</ref><br />

{{nihongo|'''Marisa Kirisame'''|霧雨 魔理沙|Kirisame Marisa}} is an ordinary [[human]] [[magician]] who specializes in light and heat magic and currently resides in the [[Forest of Magic]]. Her motto is: "It ain't magic if it ain't flashy. Danmaku's all about firepower,"<ref name="gumon_117-120">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Marisa Kirisame|Marisa Kirisame]]</ref> and she has a compulsive mania for collecting things. She's considered to be the deuteragonist of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' series along with the main protagonist, [[Reimu Hakurei]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Marisa is a common playable character in most games throughout the series with somewhat rare alternative roles such as being an Extra [[stage]] [[boss]]. Her first ever appearance in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' was in the second [[PC-98]] game ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', and she first appeared as a playable character in the third game, ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]''. Additionally, she has made a guest appearance as the first Extra stage boss in the ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''.<br />
<br />
Marisa serves as an audience surrogate of sorts - she is straight-forward and much easier to understand than other characters, typically filling the support role. She also serves as a contrast to Reimu, who's blessed with innate abilities, by being the hard-working type of character without any special powers. [[ZUN]] has said that this makes her a rather "un-Touhou-like" character, but also gives him much more leeway in creating a story.<ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Who's Who of Humans & Youkai in Gensokyo/Marisa Kirisame|Strange Creators of Outer World - Marisa Kirisame]]</ref><ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue/Interview with ZUN|Silent Sinner in Blue interview]]</ref><br />
<br />
Marisa's height is that of a girl in her early teens and is in the "fairly short" group.<ref>[[ZUN's E-mails]]</ref>. Unlike [[Patchouli Knowledge]] and [[Alice Margatroid]], who are magicians by species, she's merely an ordinary [[human]] who uses magic. In the games themselves, she's a character who consistently stresses high power and quick speed. She exceeds in attack and penetration power, but her attack range is generally narrow. Her signature move is the tremendous laser [[spell card]], ''Love Sign "Master Spark<nowiki>"</nowiki>''. She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique.<ref>[[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] - ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''</ref><br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
<br />
Outwardly, Marisa is an outgoing and informal individual. 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.<ref>[[Wild and Horned Hermit]], chapter 10</ref> She speaks in an informal manner and typically uses the sentence ending particle {{nihongo||ぜ|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 sound somewhat unnatural, perhaps "phony" or "showy".<br />
<br />
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]] <ref>[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]], Extra Stage</ref> or when she blamed various crimes to [[Alice Margatroid]] to get Reimu out of the way.<ref>[[Imperishable Night]], stage 4</ref> 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. By the time of ''Wily Beast and Weakest Creature'', she willingly tells [[Saki Kurokoma]] to come to her place and emphasises that it is not the shrine.<ref>[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]], Marisa's Extra (Eagle)</ref> Although that could be because she was possessed by the proud Eagle spirit.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Though she goes to great lengths to hide it,<ref name="gumon_117-120"></ref> Marisa is a hard Working individual who frequently seeks to better herself and seeks to be known as a great magician.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Foreword|Foreword]]</ref> She takes pride in her magic and youkai extermination capabilities, claiming to be "the number two in Gensokyo".<ref>[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]] - Chapter 10</ref> 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.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
; Strength <br />
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 [[human]]s can use – an unusual feat perhaps only possible because of the effects of the [[Forest of Magic]].<ref name="gumon_117-120"/> 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" by [[ZUN]]. 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.<ref name="SGZUN">''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'': {{lang|ja|創曲幻想}}.txt</ref> 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.<br />
<br />
Despite her small size, Marisa is surprisingly physically strong. In chapter 16 of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', she carried out a big computer out of Kourindou in her arms. In ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', she was shown jumping over the walls of the Hieda mansion<ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 7</ref> and was seen climbing youkai mountain manually (instead of just flying)<ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 45</ref>. In Marisa's otter route of ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', [[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 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.<ref>[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]] - Chapter 9.5</ref><br />
<br />
; Using magic<br />
[[File:SSiBArtChapter191.jpg|thumb|192px|Marisa in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
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. According to ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', it's strange for a human to have mastery of magic of this level.<br />
<br />
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.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In her house, there are a ton of various handmade grimoires.<br />
<br />
Prior to starting her research in ''The Grimoire of Marisa'', Marisa did not use complex slave-type attacks, as she was only capable of using slaves that circle around her (her guest appearance in ''Shuusou Gyoku'' notwithstanding).<ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Cards|The Grimoire of Marisa - Parsee Mizuhashi's Spell Cards]]</ref><ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards|The Grimoire of Marisa - Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
; Flying<br />
[[File:ThGK Kakashi4.jpg|thumb|200px|Fight between Marisa and [[Cirno]] in ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', as shown in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
Marisa is almost always depicted as riding on her broom when she flies in the sky. In the fighting spinoffs prior to ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' 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. In ''Great Fairy Wars'', her broom is nowhere in sight. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' states she uses the magic broom to ride around on because she believes it's an essential tool for a magician. It was originally a normal broom but sprouted leaves as a side effect of Marisa using it in magic rituals. <br />
<br />
In the [[PC-98]] games, she's typically shown to use a vine in place of her broom in her boss appearances (with the notable exception of ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'' where she has illusionary wings instead), but her ''Lotus Land Story'' and ''Mystic Square'' endings show her using a broom. In ''Shuusou Gyoku'', she's depicted with angel wings.<br />
<br />
; Speed<br />
Marisa seems to take pride in her own speed,<ref name "MoF cross">[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Introduction of Previous Works/Mountain of Faith/Cross Review]]</ref> which is potentially among the fastest for a human. When she used ''Double Spark'' against [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]], 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.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] - Chapter 15</ref> However, [[ZUN]] has mentioned that [[Aya Shameimaru]] is the fastest in [[Gensokyo]], and Marisa appears to consider Aya extremely fast,<ref>[[The Grimoire of Marisa/Aya Shameimaru's Spell Cards]]</ref> and a worthy challenger in terms of speed,<ref name "MoF cross" /> so while there is the idea that Marisa is really fast, there might be other characters that are faster than her.<br />
<br />
Marisa's high speed is echoed in the games, usually by giving her the fastest or one of the fastest movement speed.<br />
<br />
; Learning other people's moves<br />
[[File:Marisa'sCopyComparison.png|thumb|200px|A comparison between the originator of an attack and Marisa's copy of it.]]<br />
Marisa's ''Love Sign "Non-directional Laser"'' was copied from [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s regular attack from ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' as confirmed by [[ZUN]].<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'': [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 4B#Spell Card 087|spell card 087]]</ref> Other than that, there are also others suggested to have been stolen; ''Love Sign "Master Spark"'' greatly resembles [[Yuuka Kazami]]'s and [[Gengetsu]]'s laser from ''[[Lotus Land Story]]'', her "Orreries Sun" resembles [[Mima]]'s orreries, and "Cold Inferno" resembles [[Remilia Scarlet]]'s familiar in ''[[Imperishable Night]]''. However, there's no official evidence that these are copied moves.<br />
<br />
It's unknown if Marisa is inherently talented at imitating others' moves, or if she simply manages to do so due to sheer effort. She uses her [[mini-Hakkero]] to use the Master Spark, while Yuuka uses her version of the laser through other means.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Marisa Kirisame's Spell Cards|Marisa Kirisame's spell cards]]</ref> Thus, her copying of the Master Spark seems more analogous to a person copying a fire-breathing dragon by using a flamethrower rather than a person copying a fire-breathing dragon by breathing flames merely through observation. Marisa also states that she can't imitate [[Kaguya Houraisan]]'s spell cards as they use special items that she doesn't possess.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Cards|Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Cards]]</ref> In that case, it's analogous to a person being unable to copy a fire-breathing dragon since there are no devices on hand.<br />
<br />
It's unlikely her implied tendency to copy other's moves is abnormal, as magicians such as Marisa build upon the work of others. Marisa claims in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that it's "magicians who build on observation", while [[Patchouli Knowledge]] uses the pride of magicians to add their own original touch to another's work while preserving and respecting the original.<ref name="SSiBCh6">''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Chapter 6</ref> Magicians seek the truth according to Patchouli.<ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Patchouli's Script|Patchouli's Script]]</ref> They act like researchers in this sense, building upon the work of others. However, other magicians such as Patchouli and [[Alice Margatroid]] haven't been depicted using imitations as blatant as Marisa's for spell cards.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
It isn't directly stated how Marisa makes a living. She does state in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> 9th chapter that she regularly goes to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to take away Reimu's [[youkai]] extermination jobs and ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' implies it as well, making it a likely source of income. She's also written a book called ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that reviews various [[spell card]]s by different owners of a spell; she's shown a desire to try and sell the book.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Foreword|Foreword]]</ref><ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Marisa's Script|Marisa's Script]]</ref> She has been shown to peddle magic or lucky charms, the origin of these charms are dubious but she has, at least once, successfully sold a supposedly tanuki-warding pot to a villager. <ref>[[Forbidden Scrollery]] - Chapter 39</ref><br />
<br />
;Kirisame Magic Shop<br />
Marisa runs a shop for anything as an attachment to her own house. Although it's her primary occupation, she's usually absent. Inside the shop, it's so unimaginably disordered that it becomes like a mini-Forest of Magic.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /><br />
<br />
''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' provides some information on the magic shop.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> Though Marisa is surprisingly honest with her services, refusing to take payment for a failed job, the shop sees little use due to its difficult-to-find location in the [[Forest of Magic]] and the ambiguity of what her services actually are. (In ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'', on the Kirisame Magic Shop's signboard, other than the shop name, nothing is written but "what will you do" ({{lang|ja|なんかします}}).) The [[Three Fairies of Light]] were her first customers to her shop, but ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' implies she's had other customers since then, albeit not many.<br />
<br />
;Burglary<br />
[[File:018Marisa.JPG|thumb|left|150px|Marisa caught committing burglary.]]<br />
According to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', 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.<br />
<br />
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".<br />
<br />
In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
;Magic broom<br />
Marisa flies on a bamboo broom as part of her magician appearance. It's an ordinary broom, but constant exposure to magic has caused a curious growth to begin. Although the bamboo is dead, leaves appear to be sprouting from the handle, independently from Marisa's magic.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In the fighting games, it serves additional purposes - she uses it as a weapon for striking and shooting [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
; [[Mini-Hakkero]]<br />
{{Main|Mini-Hakkero}}<br />
The mini-Hakkero, Marisa's treasured item, is a furnace that she uses to power her signature ''Master Spark''. From the flame of a table-top stove, to that of a flamethrower, to a powerful and unmatched wide magicannon, the mini-Hakkero has a convenient range of uses.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /><ref>''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'': Chapter number needed</ref> Marisa herself said, "I can't even think of makin' a livin' without it."<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 06|Chapter 6]]</ref> It was given to Marisa by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] as a farewell gift when Marisa left her family to live in the [[Forest of Magic]], even though it'd be risky for a girl of her age to handle.<br />
<br />
A magic lecture related to this item was written as follows:<br />
<blockquote>"While shooting concentrate your mind, gently muttering the spell to the Mini-Hakkero. Aiming at someone you don't like, a magicannon of love will be unleashed! <br />
<br />
— ''[[Imperishable Night]]'': [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 4B#Spell Card 100|Spell card 100]] — Marisa's Magic Lecture</blockquote><br />
<br />
;Magic Wand<br />
Marisa wielded a magic wand during her PC-98 appearances, but afterwards it was not seen again until ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''.<br />
<br />
;Mushroom Item<br />
Marisa carries, concealed in her skirt, a dangerous finished product of mushrooms made from mushroom magic. After throwing the item, it explodes. The fact that she conceals them in her skirt seemed dangerous even to [[Hieda no Akyuu]] as noted in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS marisa.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Marisa, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Marisa Kirisame''|霧雨 魔理沙}}. Her surname {{nihongo||霧雨|Kirisame|lit. "mist rain"}} means "[[wikipedia:drizzle|drizzle]]" in Japanese. The [[wikipedia:kanji|kanji]] used in her given name {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:魔|魔]]|ma}} is highly likely to come from the "ma" in {{nihongo||'''魔'''法|'''ma'''hou|"magic"}} and with {{nihongo||[[wiktionary:理|理]]|ri}} able to be interpreted as {{nihongo|"logic/law/theory"|理|kotowari}}, it can be said that they deliver the idea of her being a magician. In addition, the kanji {{nihongo||沙|sa|lit. "small sand"}} doesn't have an actual meaning, but it's often used in Japanese given names to get the sound/look of "girlishness" (different kanji, but the same idea is used in [[Minamitsu Murasa]]'s name too).<br />
<br />
''[[Wikipedia:Marisa (given name)|Marisa]]'' is also a female given name with origins in the Romance languages, which is a variant of Latin "[[wiktionary:maris|maris]]", meaning "of the sea", but may also mean "manly". If her name was based on this, then it's very likely to indicate Marisa's character being a mix of both Eastern and Western cultures.<br />
<br />
''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'' had her name written as {{lang|ja|魔'''[[wiktionary:梨|梨]]'''沙}} in-game, with the kanji meaning "pear". In that game's attached text files and bad endings it was written as {{lang|ja|魔'''理'''沙}}. Since then, her name is still written as {{lang|ja|魔'''理'''沙}}, so {{lang|ja|魔'''梨'''沙}} was likely a typo.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
<br />
In general, 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, such as in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'', ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', or the fighting game spin offs from ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' onwards.<br />
<br />
Her exact appearance varies slightly between games and print works, such as having differently colored hat bows, varying hair lengths and style, and different aprons. In ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she wears a white full apron with a black undershirt. In ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', she wears a pink capelet and has no braid. In ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' and ''[[Ten Desires]]'', her bows are purple. She wears dark blue clothes with a blue capelet in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Her outfit in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' has a brown apron with an 'M', brown hat bow, a red bowtie, and she carries a wand. She wears a crescent moon accessory on her chest in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''. She has pink scarf and gloves and has snowflake patterns on her apron in ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]''. In ''[[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature]]'', she has cat-shaped patterns on her clothes. In ''[[100th Black Market]]'', Marisa has pale blonde hair and red eyes. Her hair flows loosely without any bows in her hair. The three rows of buttons on her outfit have been updated to be more colorful, with the upper row being yellow, the middle row being green, and the bottom row being blue. She also now has a red bowtie on her outfit.<br />
<br />
During the [[PC-98]] era, her debut appearance in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'' has her depicted with red hair and eyes and wearing a purple witch's outfit with a white bow on her hat (Due to the PC-98's limited colour space, purple was often used to stand-in for black outside lineart). However her appearance changes in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]'' into having blonde hair and yellow eyes more similar to her current design. This appearance stays with her for the rest of the series, up until ''[[100th Black Market]]'', where her hair and eye colors are updated. Her clothes are black in Mystic Square.<br />

Curious why [[VIVIT]] and her master [[Erich]] want the grail, she fights her, but is defeated. She was then thudded by [[Reimu Hakurei]] for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]].

Marisa Kirisame is the author of [[Grimoire of Marisa]], Inspired by [[Aya Shameimaru|a certain tengu's]] [[Shoot_the_Bullet/Translation/Afterword|notebook]]. She wrote down a [[danmaku]] grimoire researching the spell cards of others hoping to acquire hints for new magic or, failing that, at least be able to sell the book to a library for a pretty price. The grimoire itself contains her commentaries of various character's spell cards and some of her own as well as explanations of spell card types and danmaku types.<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit'' <br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', Marisa regularly visits the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to talk about recent happenings, attending whatever festival happens at the time, or simply visiting Reimu. Marisa was the one who originally invited [[Kasen Ibaraki]] to visit the Hakurei Shrine more often, wishing to learn life extending techniques from the hermit, much to Reimu's reluctance.<br />
<br />
In chapter 10, Marisa goes to the mountains to search for Hahakigi's Otherworld (actually Kasen's marker tree for her pet eagle, [[Kanda]]) and was caught in the middle of a blizzard. She ends up straying into Kasen's hidden residence by following Kanda on a whim. Despite the near death experience, she later tries to return to Kasen's house but ends up being attacked by Kasen's pet tiger after trying to kill it for its pelt.<br />
<br />
In chapter 28, Marisa was found by Kasen in [[Former Hell]] wanting to see the underworld cherries. Kasen gave her a scolding and warned her against going there.<br />
<br />
In chapter 34, due to Reimu seemingly having an illness caused by exhaustion (actually due to her pulling all-nighters reading books from [[Suzunaan]]), Marisa took it upon herself to cook rare food, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conium_maculatum hemlock] salad, to help Reimu regain her spirit. The success of her cooking is debatable. Later, after [[Sumireko Usami]] summoned a flying saucer to the shrine, Marisa and Kasen spots an Unidentified Flying Object in the sky.<br />
<br />
In chapter 41, prior to the events of ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]'', it was Marisa who warned Reimu that an incident is happening.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery'' <br />
Marisa is a main character in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]''. In the first chapter she was the one who explained about Youma books to Reimu and reporting its appearance in [[Suzunaan]]. Afterwards she is shown frequently visiting Suzunaan and the human village, either for her own needs or to resolve incidents with Reimu or on her own.<br />
<br />
She has a winter outfit unique to Forbidden Scrollery, consisting of a black coat over a white frilly skirt.<br />

In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Marisa acts as the moderator for the symposium that involve [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]], and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. She'll usually start off a question to a discussion and will sometimes make her own comments. She also appeared in an article that's dedicated to a fight against [[Cirno]] which happened in ''[[Fairy Wars]]''. This made [[Hatate Himekaidou]] worried of how much stronger [[human]]s have become.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Marisa has met a major amount of [[characters]] that have appeared within the ''[[Touhou Project]]''.<br />
<br />
===Reimu Hakurei===<br />
[[File:GoMIllus-Reimu.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa fighting, as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''.]]<br />
[[File:SSiBArtWallpaper1.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa, in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]] Reimu is Marisa's closest friend, as well as her rival when it comes to youkai extermination and incident resolution. Although it was originally Reimu's job to solely handle incidents, Marisa has taken on many of the responsibilities as well, especially in recent years. There were even a number of times when Reimu and Marisa worked together to resolve incidents. <br />
<br />
When incidents aren't taking place, Marisa can be seen frequently visiting the Hakurei Shrine to hang out with Reimu. Usually for chatting and sometimes staying over for dinner. The Hakurei Shrine is a popular place of activity where festivals and parties are often held, so from time to time Marisa is shown helping Reimu set up for events.<br />
<br />
They first met in [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]], and Marisa seemed to immediately take an interest in Reimu. Throughout the rest of the [[PC-98]] era, Marisa often hangs around the [[Hakurei Shrine]], much like she does in the Windows era.<br />
<br />
Occasionally, Reimu and Marisa will engage in a duel, such as in Stage 4 of [[Imperishable Night]], or in the fighting games such as [[Antimony of Common Flowers]]. Generally, in her fights with Reimu, Marisa wins about 40% of the time.<ref name="CoLACh19">''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': Chapter 19</ref> She was initially jealous of how Reimu never does any training and yet remains strong due to her innate connection to the spiritual world as a shrine maiden, but has since developed her own techniques to match Reimu's in danmaku battle. In such regards to Reimu's immense powers, Marisa named and added a time limit to one of Reimu's signature spells, ''Fantasy Nature''<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards|Reimu Hakurei's Spell Cards]]</ref>. She is a peace-keeper of Gensokyo alongside Reimu, aside from a few practical jokes now and then.<br />
<br />
===Alice Margatroid===<br />
[[Alice Margatroid]] is a fellow magician of the [[Forest of Magic]]. They were partners in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', and she also supported Marisa in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. They first fought during the events of ''[[Mystic Square]]'', and later in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''.<br />
<br />
She seems to have a rivalry of sorts with Marisa, with the two often insulting and fighting each other, yet teaming up on several occasions. For all the bickering the two go through, they seem to be close friends, as Alice once recommended Marisa's shop to the [[Three Fairies of Light]] when they needed some [[youkai]] extermination.<br />
<br />
===Residents of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]===<br />
The residents of the mansion are fully aware of Marisa sneaking into the magic library. They generally look the other way, but various incidents and win quotes from the fighting games show that they'll fight Marisa in a duel if they actually catch her in the act. At other times, they'll simply leave her be, such as the mansion's private moon viewing party, or Marisa's endings in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', where Sakuya even plays along with her, either serving her food or helping to conceal her from [[Remilia Scarlet]]. She's on friendly enough terms that she can walk in without any issue from most of the residents, even if she steals things.<br />
<br />
;Patchouli Knowledge<br />
[[Patchouli Knowledge]] is one of the victims of Marisa's burglary, often having books from her library stolen. Despite that, she was supporting Marisa in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', and they seemed to be on rather good terms. <br />
<br />
;Flandre Scarlet<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', Marisa commented, "sometimes when I sneak into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I run into the little sister. I had to slip by without drawin' her attention, but after goin' through all that to get into the place, I was hopin' I wouldn't run into her." <br />
<br />
===Rinnosuke Morichika===<br />

| footer = Marisa & Kourin on the cover of Chapters 6 & 7 in ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]''.<br />
}}<br />
[[Rinnosuke Morichika]] worked for Marisa's father at his shop as an apprentice in the Human Village before leaving to start [[Kourindou]] over eleven years ago before Marisa was born, and he's known her since she was small. Judging from [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'s 22nd chapter, she must have known him in person since at least around 2001, and the 6th chapter shows that Marisa once eavesdropped on a conversation between Rinnosuke and her father during one of Rinnosuke's rare visits to the Kirisame residence when she was "very young". Marisa thinks Rinnosuke is stiff with her because of her family, but the truth is Rinnosuke keeps his guard up with her because he doesn't want her to suspect when he's lying to her, particularly when it comes to her paying Rinnosuke with items that she collects. <br />
<br />
Rinnosuke sees Marisa as something of an annoyance, as she often imposes herself on him and takes what she likes from the store. In return, Marisa views Rinnosuke as being clueless and unable to admit that he doesn't understand many of the Outside World objects he identifies as part of his role at [[Kourindou]]. Despite that, they're still on friendly terms. He also created and later gave her the mini-[[hakkero]]. She's also the only one to call him by his nickname "Kourin", signifying either familiarity or Marisa's trademark impolite nature.<br />
<br />
Because of Marisa's collecting habits, Rinnosuke is often able to get valuable things she picks up for quite cheap, either because Marisa is unaware of its true value, or she has no need for it. However, he does feel somewhat bad about it.<ref name="cola7">[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 07|Curiosities of Lotus Asia: Chapter 7]]</ref><br />
===Nitori Kawashiro===<br />
[[Nitori Kawashiro]] knows Marisa from the events of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', and fancies herself as a friend of Marisa's. She was a support character option in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''. Nitori herself has a fondness for humans, and Marisa has a respect for technology, and the pair of them get along well enough because of it. Nitori and her fellow [[kappa]] are seen working with Marisa in ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', possibly for mutual business purposes.<br />
<br />
===Mima===<br />
{{main|Canon}}<br />
In the PC-98 games, Marisa is subservient to [[Mima]]. She admires her greatly, boasting that "Lady Mima cannot be beaten" in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<nowiki>'s omake</nowiki> and apologizing to her when defeated by [[Reimu Hakurei]]. Mima is currently the only character to be addressed honorifically by Marisa. Additionally, she takes some inspiration from Mima, sharing her attack patterns using magical orbs (as well as using them in her ''Orreries Sun'' spell card) and using illusionary wings similar to hers in ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream''. However, they are never shown to engage in conversation with one another on-screen (the closest to it being Mima telling Marisa to "train harder" in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'' and Marisa's cheerfulness when she defeats her). ZUN doesn't answer any questions regarding their relationship, but says that Marisa's attitude towards Mima is easy to understand.<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 3]]</ref> <br />
<br />
===Three Fairies of Light===<br />
The [[Three Fairies of Light]] live in the [[Forest of Magic]], and knew about Marisa before they'd formally met. Originally, Marisa considered the three fairies to be normal, unremarkable fairies when Marisa caught them playing pranks on Reimu and herself. However, after the fairies became Marisa's first customers at her shop where she liberated their house from [[Tsuchinoko]], Marisa and the three fairies took a liking to each other, and became friendly acquaintances.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Marisa began to join in on their games and sometimes even play pranks on them. The fairies refer to her by her first name, showing familiarity, and are close enough to her that they'll actually cling to her for warmth in the winter. In ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', under the influence of alcohol, Marisa had the three fairies physically hanging off of and clinging to her for protection. Reimu seemed a bit perplexed at this sight, and started referring to them as "those fairies" that Marisa always had hanging around. Marisa and the fairies sometimes team up to play pranks on Reimu as well. In general, the fairies are very friendly towards Marisa, and now see her as their "guardian" of sorts. They are mainly friendly since Marisa doesn't show hostility to them.<br />
<br />
Marisa is initially unable to see the fairies' house. To all [[human]]s, fairy homes appear to be normal trees, even if they're actual houses from a fairy's point of view. However, for unexplained reasons, by the time of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', she's able to detect which tree is their new house simply by looking at it from a distance. Marisa herself seems surprised she can do this, given it's not something "ordinary humans" are typically capable of, even those with a sense of magic. She gives the fairies a cheerful nod and keeps it a secret from Reimu, who was attempting to find their house to evict them.<br />
<br />
Marisa also appeared in Sangetsusei's supplementary shooting game ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' as one of the bosses.<br />
<br />
===Kirisame Family===<br />
Marisa's family runs a large second-hand shop in the [[Human Village]], called the "Kirisame Shop".<ref name="CoLACh19" /> Marisa has broken off relations with her family, and avoids everything related to them. She says to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] that she'll never go back to them, and refuses to entertain the idea.<ref name="CoLACh07">''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': Chapter 7</ref><br />
<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', it's stated that her family is a private matter and the details are unclear. The book also hypothesizes that since the Kirisame Shop doesn't handle things related to magic items, it may be one reason why Marisa left. What the Kirisame Shop actually sells and the organisation of the family haven't been made clear. Due to this, her family has been an area of wide speculation. However, [[Marisa's unnamed father|her father]] has been confirmed to visit [[Kourindou]] on rare occasion. None of her family members have been mentioned by name.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Satori Komeiji]] and [[Koishi Komeiji]]<br />
After the events of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' in her scenarios with Nitori Kawashiro and Patchouli Knowledge, Marisa impressed Koishi enough with her strength that she's allowed to come and play at the [[Palace of Earth Spirits]] at any time. She may say she's a friend of Satori to get everyone down there to leave her alone, because all the underground [[youkai]] hate Satori. Although Marisa and Satori tend to put each other at unease at times, Marisa looks forward to being able to go underground whenever she wants to.<br />
<br />
;Mimi-chan<br />
In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Marisa is [[Mimi-chan]]'s owner, and thinks Mimi's cute. She knows that Mimi-chan's a weapon from [[Yumemi Okazaki]]'s world, but has no idea how to use her, and thus rides on Mimi. If she knew anything about how a intercontinental ballistic missile works, she probably wouldn't be doing so.<br />
<br />
;[[Tsuchinoko]]<br />
Marisa took in Tsuchinoko as a pet in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' chapter 10. She thinks he's too cute to exterminate, and doesn't see why a human couldn't keep [[youkai]] as pets.<br />
<br />
;[[Byakuren Hijiri]]<br />
Byakuren is a [[magician]], much like Marisa, although is much more experienced and has become a youkai while Marisa has yet to do so. Despite an initial disagreement and misunderstanding over the status of youkai and humans in the Marisa A ending of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', Byakuren liked Marisa's direct personality, and in thanks for Marisa's help in breaking the seal, instructed [[Minamitsu Murasa]] to take Marisa to and from [[Makai]] whenever Marisa wanted. She also told Marisa that, as a magician, she could come see Byakuren if she ever had any trouble. It's unknown if the [[Palanquin Ship]]'s conversion into a temple affected the arrangement.<br />

<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*Marisa's face was shown on most of the [[Windows]] game icons on the <tt>.exe</tt> files. This excludes the spin-off games, ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' and ''[[Violet Detector]]''.<br />
*Marisa is the second most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games after Reimu, with Marisa not appearing in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' or ''[[Gold Rush]]''. Various exceptions would show to change these statistics such as ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', in which both characters didn't appear (but Marisa was used on the .exe's icon), but the two appeared in an afterword story, and ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' had only Marisa, but Reimu was still shown in a cameo.<br />
*Marisa has seven theme songs (excluding remixes), making her the character with the most themes.<br />
*Marisa has appeared on the covers of ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', and ''[[Lotus Land Story]]'', as well as on the poster for ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''.<br />
*According to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], Marisa was inspired to use star-themed magic after a meteor shower viewing party around the year 2001. Marisa's strategy guide in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s omake says her third attack uses star magic, but she only starts to use star magic as her main motif beginning with ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''. This would imply that the last 3 PC-98 games don't take place in their release years.<br />
*According to [[Hieda no Akyuu]], Marisa may become a youkai magician like [[Alice Margatroid]] due to the high amount of magic she possesses.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> In ''Imperishable Night'', she expressed interest in immortality and eternal youth.<br />
*Marisa holds the distinction of being one of the very few characters in any Touhou game who's known to have a living family.<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Marisa survives looking at the full [[moon]], which should drive normal [[human]]s insane. When Alice asks if she's alright, she says that it's alright since she's insane to begin with. She might well be joking, since [[Reimu Hakurei]] maintains her sanity looking at the full moon too. It could be that humans who are strong-willed enough can overcome that influence.<br />
*In both ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' and ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', Marisa lacks her signature bomb move, Master Spark. She regains her Master Spark as a bomb in the following game ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''.<br />
*One of her alternate palettes in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' resembles [[Ellen]] from ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]''.<br />
*One of her alternate palettes in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' resembles her PC-98 outfit.<br />
*Marisa was first seen using a wand in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]]'', and ''[[Lotus Land Story]]''. She's not seen with a wand again until ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', which is so far the only [[Windows]] game where she's seen with one.<br />
*Marisa seems knowledgeable about species not native to Japan such as the [[wikipedia:Beaver|beaver]] in Chapter 4 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' and the [[wikipedia:Rafflesia|rafflesia]] in Chapter 14 of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]''.<br />
*When introducing herself or asked who she is, Marisa often blatantly lies that she's the [[shrine maiden]] Reimu Hakurei.<br />
*Marisa's [https://onsen.touhouwiki.net/wiki/File:MarisaTrace.jpg in-game portrait] in [[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]] is traced from the Black Nurse of [[w:Rance (series)|Rance Series]], a game made by AliceSoft.<br />

The unstoppable magician that longs for [[Mima]] and calls her "Mima-sama" (Which part of her is unstoppable, don't ask.) She's quite an ordinary human girl, who can just control some devastating magic. As is the nature of a magician, she's very intelligent, but does ''not'' act cynically nor sets off a Cobalt Bomb while shouting "You insolent [[human]]!!"<br />
<br />
This time, she is interested in the magic power flowing out of the Fantastic Ruins.<br />

A magical girl living in the east. She's a girl who's attached to power, confident enough to like showing off her power, and is always looking for someone to fight with and someone to mock.<br />
<br />
However, the truth is she's a hard worker and her power is the result of her secret training.<br />
<br />
Because of this, she often gets jealous of Reimu who never trains but still exceeds Marisa with her talent alone, and always tries to get in Reimu's way.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, Marisa is very attached to Reimu at the same time, so much that she'd die of boredom without her.<br />

<br />
魔法使いの宿命として、人々の生活から離れて暮らしている少女。<br /><br />
基本的に、頭は切れるが、それを自分の生活に生かしていない。<br /><br />
人間が忘れ去ろうとしている存在なので、自分から人間に干渉しようとはしない。好きなことをやっていれば満足なのである。<br /><br />
中でも、霊夢が大好物(?)なので、ちょくちょく遊びに行っている。<br />
<br />
武器は魔法。人生全てが遊びなのである。<br />
| translation = '''The Strange Magician, Marisa Kirisame'''<br />
<br />
A girl who lives in isolation from other people, as is the fate of a magician. <br><br />
Basically, her wits are sharp, but she generally does not make the best use of them in her daily life. <br><br />
As a being whom humans are going to forget about, she is not going to interfere with them willingly. She's content doing the things she likes. <br><br />
Above all else, [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]] is her favorite "plaything"<ref>The word used here is 大好物 (daikoubutsu). It literally means "favorite thing", but the word usually refers to a "favorite food" or an actual object. When used in the context of a person, it gives the implication of seeing the other person like an object, like a toy. With the context of her being contrarian and a "bad person" in the おまけ.txt, the meaning likely comes to Marisa seeing Reimu as a "plaything", though still a bit ambiguous.</ref> (?), so she often goes to hang out with her.<br />
<br />
Her weapons are magic. They make everything in life play.<br />

Ability: Manipulation of magic<br />
<br />
This girl is also one of the protagonists. These two (Marisa and [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]]) are the heroines of the [[Touhou]] series.<br />
<br />
Marisa has a very contrarian, uncooperative personality, and she really is a pretty bad person. <br><br />
Although she's [[human]], she remains distant from other humans. It's questionable as to whether she really is human, but she is.<br />
<br />
This time she's wearing something resembling an apron, so it's hard to tell if she's a magician or what.<br />

<br />
An ordinary girl. The cold weather (or rather, the extra layers of clothing) weakens her abilities somewhat.<br />
<br />
Her motivation in life is developing uses for magic that aren't beneficial to society. Also eco-friendly, too.<br />
<br />
One of her recent great magic spells summoned a hot spring vein underneath her house to use as a floor-heating device.<br />
<br />
She's actually a hard worker, as well as an avid collector.<br />
<br />
There are many precious grimoires and other magic items she has collected from all sorts of places all around her house. However, she doesn't use them.<br />
<br />
Magic is her weapon. For the time being, her aim is to create a new elixir.<br />
<br />
:Both of her [[spell card]] types are certainly not lacking in damage. She's also the character with the highest speed.<br />
:"Magic Napalm" isn't very effective against moving targets.<br />
:Love Sign's "Illusion Laser" continues to hit enemies with its afterimage, so it's easy to continuously damage the enemy, making it quite useful.<br />
:Also, "Master Spark" is a powerful bomb that can deal the highest damage with good stability.<br />

幻想郷に住む、ちょっと普通な魔法使い。蒐集癖を持つ。<br /><br />
年々、蒐集癖が酷くなっていく気がする。<br />
<br />
滅多に人を招き入れる事の無い霧雨邸は、幻想郷の森(通称 魔法の森)の中にある。こぢんまりとした建物である。<br /><br />
建物の中は、とてつもなく雑然としていて、地震でもあればアイテムの雪崩に押しつぶされそうである。<br />
<br />
マジックアイテムは一箇所に集めると、それぞれが干渉して性質を弱めたり強めたり、また、別の性質を持つ事がある。この家には魔理沙も知らない力を持ったアイテムが眠っているかもしれない。<br />
<br />
ちなみに、冬にこもって製作していた丹は、ちょっと大きすぎて飲み込めなかったようである。要改良。<br />

'''Marisa Kirisame'''<br />
<br />
Mainly she possesses the ability to use magic.<br />
<br />
A bit of an ordinary [[magician]] living in [[Gensokyo]]. She has a mania for collecting things.<br />
<br />
It looks like her mania for collecting things is getting more serious after each year.<br />
<br />
Her house, which she rarely invites anyone into by the way, is located in the forests of [[Gensokyo]] (a.k.a. [[Forest of Magic]]). It's a bit on the smallish side. The interior is extremely disordered, and would cause an avalanche of collected items if an earthquake hit.<br />
<br />
When magic items are gathered in one place they tend to interfere with each other, causing their powers to amplify, weaken, or in some cases even develop completely different powers. Due to this fact, this house may hide items that even Marisa herself never imagined possible.<br />
<br />
On another topic, the elixir she had been secretly developing during the winter ended up being too large for consumption. More improvement is required.<br />

<br />
普通の魔法使いさん。人が余り寄りつかない魔法の森にある家に籠もって、日々魔法の研究を続けている。<br />
<br />
性格は、負けず嫌いで意地の悪い所もあるが、根は真っ直ぐ。何処に行っても迷惑がられるが、実際に迷惑な行動も多い。<br />
<br />
森に籠もる理由の一つは、人が寄りつかないからである。研究中に邪魔が入って欲しくないし、人に会いたいときは自分から出掛ければいい。掛ける専用の携帯電話みたいな物である。でも、余所では色々と邪魔をする。何処に言ってもだ。<br />
<br />
スピードとパワーはあるが、体術は余り得意ではない。移動は速くてもいかんせん技が重い。パワーは魔法を纏う事で必要以上にカバーしている。<br />

Ability: Ability to use magic<br />
<br />
An ordinary [[magician]]. She usually cloisters herself in her house located at the [[Forest of Magic]], where there are almost no visitors, and researches magic.<br />
<br />
Her personality is unyielding and obstinate, but deep down she is an honest person. She's treated like an annoyance wherever she goes, but in fact she often causes the annoyance to begin with.<br />
<br />
One of the reasons she stays in the forest is because no one bothers to go there. She doesn't want to be disturbed while she's doing research, and when she wants to meet others she can always go there herself. She's like a send-only cell phone. However, she causes a disturbance at other places, wherever she goes.<br />
<br />
She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique. While her movement is fast, her attacks are slow. She covers for her lack of physical strength with magic, but the amount of enhancement is actually overkill.<br />

<br />
A [[human]] living in the [[Forest of Magic]]. She can use magic.<br />

She spends her days rummaging through the items and books in her house, trying to develop magic that would be useful for cleaning her disheveled room. Needless to say, she hasn't had any success.<br />
<br />
She's a hard worker, as well as a collector.<br />
<br />
She hates losing, but she also dislikes those who clearly hates losing. What a troublesome person who hates losing.<br />
<br />
Her weapon is magic. When in the dark, she lights up the surroundings with magic.<br />
<br />
:''Notes''<br />
:She teams with [[Alice Margatroid|Alice]] in this title.<br />
:Focused speed only applies when she's used as a solo character.<br />
:Her missile's explosion deals a good amount of damage, so it's useful for shooting swarms of enemy familiars down.<br />
:It will kill most enemies instantly.<br />
:Recommended for players who don't care for subtlety.<br />

No one has any business in the [[Forest of Magic]], so she lives there in comfortable solitude while studying to improve her magical ability.<br />
You might imagine witches as being indoor-type people, but Marisa is a rather active outdoor-type person. She prefers a lively atmosphere over silence, but still doesn't like to be disturbed when she's studying. The [[Forest of Magic]] is the perfect place for her because almost no one bothers to visit her there. Marisa would also like to point out that, "Concealing my half-finished works is ''not'' the reason I'm living in there."<br />

A bit past midnight, she felt a disturbance ripple through the forest. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, and she was right. Many hours later, it was still as dark as midnight, long past the time for dawn, as though the night was everlasting. She left home in a hurry to investigate this interesting night... and was a little too impatient when she met the people responsible for the unnaturally long night.<br />

The village is reverberating with sounds of the festival.<br/><br />
However, this festival somehow smells empty-hearted and momentary.<br/><br />
The religionists whose job it is to ensure the hearts of others smell like joy.<br/><br />
The girl anticipates it, and before the religionists taste the sweet soup,<br/><br />
she appeared in combat to increase her own allies.<br />
<br />
'''Special skill: Three-Tiered Embellishment Magic'''<br />
<br />
Each star lights up one by one when using strong ranged attacks or special attacks, and when all the starts are lit up, the next strong ranged attack or special attack will be powered up.<br/><br />
Depending on the attack, a different aspect of it will be strengthened,<br/><br />
such as its power increasing, its range enlarging, or granting a period of invincibility.<br/><br />
Generally speaking, Marisa is dangerous when all the stars are lit up.<br />
<br />
'''Last Word: Sun Grazer'''<br />
<br />
Riding on her broom, Marisa mows down the vicinity and crushes her opponent,<br/><br />
and when undefended, performs her strongest skill, a full-force assault.<br/><br />
The attack range of her sweeping through is wide,<br/><br />
and you can rely on Marisa to be invincible while attacking.<br />

Compared to Reimu, she seems to be the type who doesn't give a crap. However, she's the one with a serious attitude who's actually caring and hardworking.<br/><br />
She's Reimu's friend, but also Reimu's rival. They both have the same goal when it comes to incident solving but they just have to make it a competition and act on their own. I wish someday they can just work together (so we get to play co-op)! (lol)<br />

''100th Black Market'' consists of several self-contained stages that the player can play through individually. Each stage consists of several enemy waves and boss encounters selected semi-randomly, broken up by card shop menus where the player can purchase more equipment and abilities in the form of Ability Cards (previously featured in ''Unconnected Marketeers''). While a single playthrough is short, repeated playthroughs to acquire more cards and experiment with different strategies are highly encouraged.<br />

Despite [[Chimata Tenkyuu]]'s assertion that her Ability Cards would fall out of fashion after the events of ''Unconnected Marketeers'', the cards' value is still somehow climbing further and further. [[Marisa Kirisame]] sets out to investigate the "black markets" that are trading in cards without Chimata's oversight — and to collect as many cards as she can for herself.<br />

{{thtitle|Touhou |Chireiden|ruby=Earth Spirit Palace| ~ Subterranean Animism|jp=東方地霊殿 ~ Subterranean Animism}} is the eleventh official game in the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. The trial version was released at Reitaisai 5, and the full version debuted at Comiket 74.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
{{Main|/Gameplay|l1=Gameplay|/Strategy|l2=Strategy|/Spell Cards|l3=Spell Cards}}<br />
''Subterranean Animism'' features two playable characters ([[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]]), each with three weapon types representing a [[youkai]] assisting them from above ground. Collecting power items adds up to four "option" satellites around the character (or eight for the Marisa/Alice combination), which behave differently according to the character and weapon type. Power can be used to unleash a bomb, each with different behaviors, and some cause special gameplay effects to occur.<br />
<br />
The scoring system is based on [[graze|grazing]], coupled with the collection of items dropped by enemies. <!--Overall, the system resembles some of the core elements of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' fused together with the Tension Bonus System from [[Wikipedia:Shikigami No Shiro II#Tension Bonus System|Shikigami no Shiro]] series.--> As such, the player is urged to actively graze at every possible opportunity in order to increase the point item value. Grazing large amounts of bullets in little time is rewarded by the temporary effect of autocollecting all the freefalling items at their maximum value (identical to the [[point of collection]] effect, but without regard to the character's location on the screen), letting the player concentrate on avoiding bullets.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
ZUN has stated that the entire story was a result of his decision to use a partner system in this game, just like ''[[Imperishable Night]]''. The partners for [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] in ''Imperishable Night'' both show up again as the first choice.<br />
<br />
A difference from other games is that you can still get good endings when finishing the game on easy mode. However, the extra stage only gets enabled after a [[Glossary#0-9|1cc]] on normal mode.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
{{Main|/Story|l1=Story|/Translation|l2=Translation|/Characters|l3=Characters}}<br />
A geyser suddenly erupts out of nowhere. [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] take advantage of this by building a hot spring, even though a series of earth spirits emerge from the geyser. [[Patchouli Knowledge]], sensing danger from the incident, consults with [[Yukari Yakumo]] regarding the matter. Yukari agrees to send Reimu into the [[Underworld]] to investigate with a device that lets them communicate underground.<br />
<br />
After passing the [[tsuchigumo]] [[Yamame Kurodani]] and the jealous bridge princess [[Parsee Mizuhashi]], the heroine reaches the [[Former Capital]], a place where the [[oni]] now live. [[Yuugi Hoshiguma]] challenges the heroine on a friendly battle, and then says the heroine should go to the [[Palace of the Earth Spirits]]. Here, the heroine met [[Satori Komeiji]], the owner of both [[Rin Kaenbyou]] (Orin) and [[Utsuho Reiuji]] (Okuu). Rin wanted the heroine to come down and help her stop her friend after Utsuho had become too powerful. Utsuho is eventually stopped by the heroine.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, the heroine visits the [[Moriya Shrine]] to talk with [[Kanako Yasaka]] and [[Suwako Moriya]]. The goddesses are not there, but she does meet Satori's sister, [[Koishi Komeiji]], who wanted to go to the [[Moriya Shrine]] to ask the gods to empower her pets. In the end, they have a duel because Koishi wanted to see if the person who defeated her sister was really that strong.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
{{Main|/Music|l1=Music}}<br />
Just like ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', ''Subterranean Animism'' had 18 tracks, but only 17 can be heard in the music room. The 18th track, {{nihongo|"Player's Score"|プレイヤーズスコア}}, is copied over from ''Mountain of Faith''.<br />
<br />
The title screen is just like any other title screen, an arrangement of {{nihongo|"[[Theme of Eastern Story]]"|テーマ・オブ・イースタンストーリー}} from ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score vol.5]]''. A recurring theme in the earlier stages of the game is that it is "cave-like", with lots of echos.<br />
<br />
A couple of songs from this game have been arranged for other games and music CDs. [[Utsuho Reiuji]]'s theme, {{nihongo|"Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion"|霊知の太陽信仰 ~ Nuclear Fusion}} was arranged by [[U2 Akiyama]] for ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]''. {{nihongo|"Hartmann's Youkai Girl"|ハルトマンの妖怪少女}}, [[Koishi Komeiji]]'s theme, was arranged by ZUN for ''[[Trojan Green Asteroid]]'' and was again rearranged in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' by U2.<br />
<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
* While you're playing, if you look at the right, you can see [[Reimu Hakurei]] written in yellow and [[Marisa Kirisame]] in green.<br />
* Most of the characters that the protagonist meets think she is talking to herself at first, because the protagonist's partner is not visible.<br />
<br />
===False positives on Steam Version===<br />
On June 6, 2020, a [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1100150/discussions/0/2295094308086499292/ post] was made in the [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1100150/discussions/ Subterranean Animism Discussion Board] on Steam about the game containing malware called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkHotel DarkHotel], which was mainly used for Hotel Wi-Fis for phishing and keylogging.<br />
<br />
According to [https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e42c8df5ba2d704fb6bd5c50d9fb35c49ebf3122dab75b19b7ed17b6bc84166d/detection VirusTotal], 30 out of 70 known Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware programs detected the game having the virus. On December 18, 2020, the distribution for the game was [https://steamcommunity.com/app/1100150/allnews/ halted].<br />
<br />
On December 23, 2020, Subterranean Animism was available for distribution on Steam again. However, to date, the virus is still detected on the game.<br />
<br />
However, this is a false positive, the secure hash algorithm for the steam version of Subterranean Animism is: >e42c8df5ba2d704fb6bd5c50d9fb35c49ebf3122dab75b19b7ed17b6bc84166d due to how steam encrypts files, it encrypted the EXE file in a manner where some of the encrypted strings in the .EXE files resulted in what looked like the Darkhotel trojan.<br />
<br />
This is the SHA of the non-steam version: >2978b17f6184d100d249d4311348dd30c5c32ec75c014b667a525b797d3d8813 as you can see, they are different due to the aforementioned steam encryption, and the SHA of the steam and non-steam version have completely different results on virus scans.<br />
<br />

{{thtitle|Touhou |Fuujinroku|ruby=Wind God Chronicles| ~ Mountain of Faith|jp=東方風神録 ~ Mountain of Faith}}<ref>An alternative romanization of Fuujinroku is "Hujinroku", which appears in the credits sequence.</ref> is the tenth official game in the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. It is considered the first game of the "2nd Windows Generation", using a new engine.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
:{{Main|/Gameplay|l1=Gameplay|/Strategy|l2=Strategy|/Spell Cards|l3=Spell Cards}}<br />
<br />
In terms of gameplay, ''Mountain of Faith'' is a kind of "soft reboot". The engine, and much of the game's design and pacing, have been substantially overhauled. Playable characters are reduced to Reimu and Marisa once again, with both conventional weaponry as well as interesting new types. This and the immediate next game, ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', also feature a much simpler idea of player Spell Cards. While proper Spell Cards would return in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', that game still retains much of the design and pacing of these two games, and make a sort of trilogy in the same way that ''[[the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', and ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' did.<br />
<br />
''Mountain of Faith'' features two playable characters, each with three weapon types, but no personalized [[spell card|spell card bombs]]. Collecting power items results in an increase in "option" satellites around the character (for a total of four), which behave differently according to the character and weapon type. Each characters' options also fire bullets, and either shift position or freeze in place in focus-fire mode.<br />
<br />
The scoring system is based on the Faith meter, which has a refillable gauge and a numeric value (minimum 50,000). As long as the gauge is not empty, the player's Faith value doesn't decrease, but the gauge slowly depletes unless the player is defeating enemies or collecting point items. Point items also partially refill the gauge, and Faith items increase the Faith value. The Faith value directly affects the point value of point items and spell card bonuses.<br />
<br />
==Name and Concept==<br />
[[ZUN]]'s intent behind ''Mountain of Faith'' was to create a game that felt like a breath of fresh air in the Touhou Project's setting while still being familiar to its fans. It marks somewhat of a turning point in the Project's worldbuilding, with gods being as much a part of it as youkai from ''MoF'' onward. As it had the image of a fresh start, the Japanese part of the game's title - {{nihongo|''Touhou Fuujinroku''|東方風神録|}} - is a callback to that of ''[[the Story of Eastern Wonderland]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>, which is {{nihongo|''Touhou Fuumaroku''|東方封魔録|}}.<ref name="SCoOW_MoF">''[[Strange Creators of Outer World]]'': [[Strange Creators of Outer World/Introduction of Previous Works/Mountain of Faith/Mountain of Faith Interview with ZUN|''Mountain of Faith'' Interview with ZUN]]</ref><br />
<br />
The story in the game is tied up with the [[Wikipedia:Suwa, Nagano|Suwa]] mythology, which ZUN knows well. He used some of his own ideas in the story and let it tell in the game. Though, it is mostly seen in the later part of the game. Not all parts of the later part originate from the actual story and real locations. The [[Moriya Shrine]], for example, is not derived from the Suwa Shrine as it would take too much research for ZUN to create it.<br />
<br />
A year before its release, he answered in an interview that he started again from scratch for this game. This is to prevent the game from getting too complex by using the same system over and over again.<ref>{{cite journal |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |year=2007|month=July|title=原作ZUN氏インタビュー|trans_title=Original Interview with Mr. [[ZUN]]|language=Japanese|journal=Magazine|issue=July issue|pages=|publisher=[[ComicREX]]|accessdate=15 February, 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
:{{Main|/Story|l1=Story|/Translation|l2=Translation|/Characters|l3=Characters}}<br />
It is autumn in [[Gensokyo]]. A stranger comes to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] and says that the shrine should close for good. [[Reimu Hakurei]] won't let it happen so she or [[Marisa Kirisame]] goes to investigate the situation.<br />
<br />
The heroine goes to the [[Youkai Mountain]] where she meets three [[god]]s and eventually [[Nitori Kawashiro]], who says the [[kappa]] are troubled by a new god on the mountain. As she advances further, the heroine meets [[Aya Shameimaru]], who was told to investigate the intruder. Aya is beaten and the heroine moves to the [[Moriya Shrine]]. [[Sanae Kochiya]] says that the new god, later shown to be [[Kanako Yasaka]], is trying to collect faith. After Sanae is defeated, Kanako appears and explains her motives. She eventually makes peace with the kappa and [[tengu]], who, in return, accept Kanako as the new god of the mountain, supplying her with faith.<br />
<br />
In the Extra [[stage]], the heroines meet the other god of the Moriya Shrine, [[Suwako Moriya]], who is the shrine's true god. Suwako demands that they play with her in a danmaku battle, just like they've played with Sanae and Kanako.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
:{{Main|/Music|l1=Music}}<br />
The game soundtrack of ''Mountain of Faith'' features 18 tracks, which all could be heard in the music room. When composing the themes, [[ZUN]] tried to add a Japanese feeling to the themes and he says the songs are particularly nostalgic, just like the game itself. The title screen music is an arranged version of {{nihongo|"Theme of Eastern Story"|テーマ・オブ・イースタンストーリー}} from ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score vol.5]]''.<br />
<br />
It is the first time a {{nihongo|"Player's Score"|プレイヤーズスコア}} theme (which shares a motif found in {{lang|ja|神さびた古戦場}} ~ Suwa Foughten Field, Kanako's theme) has been used in the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. ZUN stated that he thought it would be too lonely if it was a silent at those moments, but somehow managed to make it even more lonely. The theme reappeared in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', and an arranged version was used in ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', ''[[Ten Desires]]'' and ''[[Double Dealing Character]]''. This theme, however, cannot be played via the music room.<br />
<br />
A few tracks were reused or arranged in later games and CD's. For ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s theme {{nihongo|"Faith is for the Transient People"|信仰は儚き人間の為に}} and the Extra stage theme {{nihongo|"Tomorrow Will Be Special, Yesterday Was Not"|明日ハレの日、ケの昨日}} were both arranged by [[U2 Akiyama]] as Sanae's theme and [[Suwako Moriya]]'s theme respectively. The [[Touhou Hisoutensoku OST|original soundtrack]] for ''Touhou Hisoutenoku'' had both tracks. "Tomorrow Will Be Special, Yesterday Was Not" is also featured in ZUN's 5.5 Music Collection album ''[[Unknown Flower, Mesmerizing Journey]]'' in a slightly different version. ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' had an arrangement of [[Nitori Kawashiro]]'s theme {{nihongo|"Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's "Kappa" ~ Candid Friend"|芥川龍之介の河童 ~ Candid Friend}}, again by U2.<br />
<br />
[[Aya Shameimaru|Aya]]'s theme {{nihongo|"Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain"|妖怪の山 ~ Mysterious Mountain}} appeared in ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' as the fifth photo theme and with only a few modifications, and was again re-used in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />

{{thtitle|Touhou |Bunkachou|ruby=Word Flower Album| ~ Shoot the Bullet|jp=東方文花帖 ~ Shoot the Bullet}} is a [[danmaku]] vertical-scrolling photography game and the 9.5th official installment of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'', released between ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' and ''[[Mountain of Faith]]''. It was released as an accompanying game to ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]''. It was also released to [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1420650/Touhou_Bunkachou__Shoot_the_Bullet/ Steam] in the summer of 2021.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
{{Main|/Gameplay|l1=Gameplay|/Gameplay/Strategy|l2=Strategy|/Spell Cards|l3=Spell Cards}}<br />
<br />
''Shoot the Bullet'' is an unconventional danmaku game based around the use of a chargeable bullet-cancelling camera. The player dodges bullets but is unable to directly damage the enemy. Instead, they use [[Aya Shameimaru|Aya]]'s camera to take a varying amount of pictures of the boss. Aya's camera is capable of eliminating all bullets within the viewfinder when a shot is taken, regardless of if the boss is in frame. When the boss is featured in a photo, it is given a score based on several criteria, including the amount and type of bullets captured. The bosses included in this game are returning bosses from games ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' to ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]''.<br />
<br />
==Name and Concept==<br />
The concept of ''Shoot the Bullet'' existed since ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''. [[ZUN]] experimented with the idea previously, but the results didn't satisfy him, shelving the concept. The game required a character that takes photos. Thus, ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' introduced Aya Shameimaru, a photographing [[tengu]]. While ''Shoot the Bullet'' was in development, the Touhou fanbook ''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red'' was produced. This book contains various interviews which Aya conducts with other characters. The photography game was intended to be a minigame included in the book's accompanying ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red (CD)|CD]]'', but it was ultimately released on its own.<br />
<br />
Originally, ZUN wanted to include new stages via updates. <ref name="ver1.01a">{{cite web|url=http://kourindou.exblog.jp/2429760/|title=東方文花帖ver1.01a|date=January 9, 2006|author=[[ZUN]]|language=ja|accessdate=August 28, 2011}}</ref> However, he later announced that there would not be content updates, as he wanted to move on to newer projects. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://kourindou.exblog.jp/4354569/|title=オクトーバーリザレクション|author=[[ZUN]]|date=October 10, 2006|language=ja|accessdate=August 28, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
On the March 14, 2010, a sequel to ''Shoot the Bullet'', titled ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', was released. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://kourindou.exblog.jp/12243476/|title=東方Project 第12.5弾|author=[[ZUN]]|date=March 3, 2010|language=ja|accessdate=August 27, 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
{{Main|/Translation|l1=Translation}}<br />
<br />
[[Aya Shameimaru]] sets out to photograph bosses from previous Touhou games. However, it is never revealed why she takes these photos. At one point it is pointed out that "''No one knows the purpose of the photos, except Aya''", and the only reason she does not shoot the opponents is "''not to be nice, but because she doesn't want her bullets in the picture.''"<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
{{Main|/Music|l1=Music}}<br />
<br />
The game soundtrack of ''Shoot the Bullet'' features six tracks: one title/menu screen theme, and five photographing themes. Akin to previous games, the title theme contains the motif heard in "Theme of Eastern Story" from ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score vol.5]]''. The fifth theme, "Wind God Girl" ({{lang|ja|風神少女}}), was also featured on the ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red (CD)|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red CD]]'' and in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]''. "Wind God Girl" received an arrangement ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]''. The soundtrack organizes the photo themes in the order that the player will encounter them in the game.<br />
<br />
An arrangement of "Retrospective Kyoto" ({{lang|ja|レトロスペクティブ京都}}) is included in the "ZUN's Music Collection" CD ''[[Retrospective 53 minutes]]''. In the following CD, ''[[Magical Astronomy]]'', "Sleepless Night of the Eastern Country" ({{lang|ja|東の国の眠らない夜}}), is featured.<br />

{{thtitle|Touhou |Kikeijuu|ruby=[[Oni]]-Shaped Beast| ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature|jp=東方鬼形獣 ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature}} is the seventeenth official installment of the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. It was announced by ZUN on his personal blog on April 17, 2019, at 14:02 JST.<ref name=announce>{{cite web|url=https://kourindou.exblog.jp/28205045/|title={{lang|ja|東方Project 第17弾です}}|author=ZUN|date=April 17, 2019|language=ja}}</ref> A playable demo was released on May 5, 2019, at [[Reitaisai|Reitaisai 16]]. The full version was released August 12, 2019, at [[Comiket|Comiket 96]]. <br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
{{Main|/Gameplay|l1=Gameplay|/Gameplay/Strategy|l2=Strategy|/Spell Cards|l3=Spell Cards|/Achievements|l4=Achievements}}<br />
There are three main characters: [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], and [[Youmu Konpaku]]. The player can equip one of three animal spirits, namely "Wolf", "Otter" and "Eagle". "Wolf" powers up the player's focused shot, "Otter" powers up the player's bombs, and "Eagle" powers up the player's unfocused shot.<ref name=announce /><br />
<br />
Upon defeating certain enemies and in-between each Spell Card, items called '''Spirit Items''' will appear on screen and bounce around for a very long time, similar to [[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'s UFOs. <br>There are three ''Beast Spirits'' items (one for ''Wolf'', ''Otter'' and ''Eagle'') which periodically cycle in an order. <br />
<br />
Upon collecting five ''Spirit Items'', the player enters '''Roaring Mode'''. Similarly to [[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'s Supernatural Border mode, ''Roaring Mode'' can end by timeout, calling off or by being hit, which negates the hit. While ending ''Roaring Mode'' by timeout creates new ''Beast Items'', ending it through any other method triggers a ''Spirit Strike'' which deletes nearby bullets. All standard non-basic drops (lives, bombs, high-value power & high-value points) now also feed into this system.<br />
<br />
Triggering ''Roaring Mode'' with three or more of the same ''Beast Spirits'' will give the player special bonuses. <br />
* For three or more ''Wolf Spirits'', the player's focused shot will be improved (and shot even whilst unfocused). <br />
* For three or more ''Otter Spirits'', the player will receive an orbiting bullet shield. <br />
* For three of more ''Eagle Spirits'', the player's unfocused shot will be improved (and shot even whilst focused). <br />
Triggering such a '''Berserk Roaring Mode''' which matches your Shot Type and/or with more than three ''Beast Items'' will elongate its duration.<br />
<br />
This game sees the return of Spell Practice and marks the addition of "Achievements" to the mainline franchise. These reward completing each scenario, difficulty, 1ccs and no-miss runs. <br>There are also secret achievements to be found.<br />
<br />
==Concept==<br />
In the game's preliminary description, ZUN describes it as "a shooting game that's darker than usual, full of animal elements, and just a bit aggressive."<ref name=announce /><br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
{{Main|/Story|l1=Story|/Translation|l2=Translation|/Characters|l3=Characters}}<br />
<blockquote>''Beast spirits began to invade from Hell en masse.''<br />
<br />
''"They're trying to take over the surface world with brute force and sheer numbers.''<br><br />
''I beg of you! Venture into Hell with me, and put a stop to their plans!"''<br />
''So she was told, by a beast spirit that was cooperative with humans...''</blockquote><br />
Reimu, Marisa and Youmu encounter several animal spirits from [[Hell]], who claim that their fellow animal spirits are plotting to take over the surface world. The three heroines team up with the spirits, and venture into Hell to take out this new potential threat.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
{{Main|/Music|l1=Music}}<br />
Wily Beast and Weakest Creature has 17 different tracks in it excluding the Player Score song, which can all be unlocked in the sound test by hearing them at least once in-game. The Stage 6 theme "Electric Heritage" is an arranged version of "Entrust the World to Idols ~ Idolatrize World", and the staff roll theme "Returning Home from the Underground" is, as is stated in the comment, an arranged version of the Stage 4 theme "Unlocated Hell". Several songs from this soundtrack aim to "''portray a Touhou-esque view''" of the afterlife, as seen in the description of "The Lamentations Known Only by Jizo" and "Everlasting Red Spider Lily".<br />
<br />
ZUN sees "The Lamentations Known Only by Jizo" as the first instance of a Stage 1 theme being not "''bright''" and "''cheery''", but rather feeling more melancholy. "Unlocated Hell" marks another self-admitted failure of an attempt at heavy metal (see [[Embodiment_of_Scarlet_Devil/Music|Sakuya's theme]]). Many of the later songs do include the now classic ZUN-electric guitar. On the note of "electric", "Electric Heritage" is one of the first songs of the Touhou Project to have a distinct "cyber" feeling. <br />
<br />
In the description of "The Shining Law of the Strong Eating the Weak", ZUN notes that he'd like to start "refining his [musical] sensibility" with his children in later games.<br />
<br />

| ja =地上に黒い水が吹き出していた。 その水は異臭を放ち、身体に付くと簡単には落とせなかった。 とても生活用水として使える代物では無かった。<br><br />
その湧き出る黒い水を凶と見るもの、吉と見るもの、 神聖なものと見るもの、邪悪なものと見るもの、 天災と見るもの、経済的暁光だと見るもの、 様々な憶測が飛び交い、一部ではお祭り騒ぎにもなった。<br><br />
しかしある出来事を境に、浮かれていたものの背筋を凍らせる事となる。 飲料用の湧き水に、美しい清流に、憩いの場である温泉に…… 黒い水は場所を選ばず、湧き出し始めたのである<br />
| en =Black water gushed out onto the surface. The water released an odd odour, and was hard to get off once stuck to one's body. It was not something that you could use as your everyday water.<br><br />
Some saw the gushing water as misfortune, some as good fortune; some saw it as holy, while others as evil; some saw it as a natural disaster, some saw it as a business opportunity, various theories were tossed around. Some even started a festival and made a fuss.<br><br />
But not long after, an event occurred that put a horrific damper on their buoyant moods. From the springs that they drank from, the beautiful clear streams, the hot springs at rest spots... from every location it possibly could, the black water began to gush out.<br />

Pupils moist with deep vermilion, my skirt fluttering in the same sweet color,<br />
Upon these childish cheeks may scarlet drip, my legs collapse from the throbbing,<br />
Controlled by sweet hallucination, I’ll play a tune that blooms from my five fingers:<br />
The sound of a deep red tea dripping as I tease and gouge deep into your neck!<br />
|eng15=<br />
“Will my thoughts not reach you?”<br />
“Who is reflected in your eyes?”<br />

''I dirty your skin, but the one that’s defiled is me''<br />
:If I crush my feelings, what would I strive for then?<br />
''Lovingly I stroke it, it makes me shiver… kill these urges!!''<br />
:My love is overflowing, I can’t stop it…<br />
|eng18=<br />
This tone of screams coming from your shriveling throat, that melody becomes a rainbow of vermillion<br />
This hue of slaughtering you, spraying in such a sweet deep color!<br />
This tone of screams coming from your shriveling throat, to it dyed by your red rain<br />
Ascending this beautiful stage, there I dance alone.<br />

“Have your wishes been destroyed?”<br />
“Have your thoughts been suppressed?”<br />

Koishi Komeiji's Heart Throbbing Adventure, often shortened to KKHTA, is a Japanese webseries (a comic in the form of a series of videos, with sound effects and music, and rarely some light animation) depicting Koishi Komeiji going on a long adventure. It starts with Koishi wanting a fishing rod, and things quickly derail from there. The series is infamous for being particularly bloody (Add more info here later)<br />

{{nihongo|'''Flandre Scarlet'''|フランドール・スカーレット|Furandooru Sukaaretto}} is the younger sister of [[Remilia Scarlet]] and a [[vampire]] who lives at the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. She first appeared as the Extra stage [[Boss|boss]] of [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]], and has appeared as a playable protagonist in [[Touhou Gouyoku Ibun]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Flandre first appeared as the Extra [[Stage]] [[boss]] of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' with the famous theme ''[[U.N. Owen was Her?]]'', as well as a target in the Extra Stage of ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]''. She's been interviewed in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'' and has had an article in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' and ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''. She also appeared in ''[[Foul Detective Satori]]''.<br />
<br />
She also notably appeared as a playable protagonist in [[Touhou Gouyoku Ibun]]. This was the first time she had a major role in a [[Touhou Project]] game in the 19 years since her introduction in 2002 in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''. It was also the first time she was playable in a Touhou game.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
In ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'', she is described as being quite strange and eccentric, which makes it difficult for others to understand her.<ref name="EoSDomake" /> She's also described as being "normally docile" and generally pleasant to be around, but somewhat of a loose cannon if left unwatched. In ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Flandre|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'', it's suggested that she isn't very good at talking to other people, though she can get rather sassy and uppity when talking with her sister. Her friendship toward [[human]]s is very low, mostly because she doesn't care about them.<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /><br />
<br />
In ''[[Foul Detective Satori]]'', her attitude was particularly impolite and informal, speaking in a very casual tone and generally doing as she wished without consideration of consequences, although she stopped short of seriously injuring anyone.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Touhou Gouyoku Ibun]]'', she appeared to only care about "destroying the indestructible" when facing off against [[Yuuma Toutetsu]], although she did display a willingness to work with [[Okina Matara]], insofar as it let her have some fun.<br />
<br />
===History===<br />
Flandre has lived for at least 495 years, but she has allegedly never left the grounds of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], and rarely leaves even the building itself, if ever.<ref name="PMiSSFlandre">[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]: [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Flandre Scarlet|Flandre Scarlet]]</ref> As she herself never tried going outside, she was apparently raised knowing nothing about the outside world.<ref name="EoSDomake">[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]: omake.txt</ref> However, she's shown a slight interest to go outside after the events of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''. Her initial attempt to do so was blocked by [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s rain summoning magic in the Extra Stage, but since then she has been seen outside the mansion itself when she was destroying a falling meteor.<ref name="BAiJRFlandre">[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]: [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Flandre|Flandre's article.]]</ref><br />
<br />
Until the time when she met either [[Marisa Kirisame]] or [[Reimu Hakurei]] in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'', she claimed to not have seen any [[human]]s other than when they were prepared for a meal, although it's left vague as to whether that was her idea of a dark joke.<br />
<br />
During the events of [[Touhou Gouyoku Ibun]], however, she left the grounds of the Mansion for an extended period of time of her own accord to fight [[Yuuma Toutetsu]], marking her first major departure from the grounds of the Mansion since her introduction.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
[[File:GoMIllus-Flandre.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Flandre, as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''.]]<br />
As a [[vampire]], Flandre possesses superhuman capabilities just like [[Remilia Scarlet]], such as enhanced physical strength, with the destructive power of [[oni]] and the nimbleness of [[tengu]], as well as a [[vampire]]'s bodily and regenerative ability. She can swing an oversized sword, though not as quickly as she would like to<ref name="GoMFlandre">[[Grimoire of Marisa]]: [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Flandre Scarlet's Spell Cards|Flandre Scarlet's spell cards]]</ref>. Since she doesn't know the proper way to attack humans, she is unable to go easy on them and blows them away without a trace.<br />
<br />
;Destroying absolutely anything and everything<br />
Flandre can destroy anything she wants, which is truly a frightening ability with no real weaknesses.<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /> By moving the "eye" of the object, where the tension is highest, and by attacking this eye, she is able to destroy the target. She is able to move the "eye" of anything into the middle of her hand, then she pours her power into it or in other words, she crushes the "eye" and unconditionally destroys the target with just a squeeze.<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /> She states that everything has an "eye" and that she has the "eyes" of everything in her right hand. She destroyed a meteor with a single hand and without touching it, where Flandre stated that she "went ''squeeze'' and it went ''boom''".<ref name="BAiJRFlandre" /><br />
When Sakuya was locked in the basement with Flandre, she destroyed the lock of a door simply by holding its handle, and without making any visible explosion.<ref name="CDS 3.5">''[[Cheating Detective Satori]]'' - Chapter 3.5</ref> Everything that is made for her to play with ends up broken, which may mean why she doesn't have many playmates, to which it's recommended to never meet with her.<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /> <br />
<br />
;Cloning herself<br />
Flandre is able to clone herself as seen in one of her [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Spell Cards/Extra#Spell Card 57|spell card]]s where she creates 3 clones that helps her in the battle. The clones ''attack as they like'' which could mean they're able to think independently to some grade.<ref name="GoMFlandre" /> It's in the category "Slave Type" so they're under the command of the original Flandre.<ref name="GoMFlandre" /><br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
In her hand, she possesses an object that looks like a crooked clock needle (sometimes thought to be a [[wikipedia:Lævateinn|Lævateinn]]) – this is a prominent peculiarity associated with Flandre, in which the name is derived from her second [[spell card]] ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Spell Cards/Extra#Spell Card 56|Taboo "Lævateinn"]]''. It shares its name with the sword (wand in some versions) of [[Wikipedia:Loki|Loki]], a Norse god known for causing mischief. This sword/wand is used by the fire giant [[wikipedia:Surtr|Surt]] in [[wikipedia:Ragnarök|Ragnarok]] (the Norse equivalent of the Apocalypse) to burn down the whole world, except for one safe heaven. Fitting that Flandre would be wielding a tool of such destructive might.<br />
<br />
She also possesses unusually peculiar wings, an irregular shape unlike those of any living creature, [[youkai]] or [[ghost]],<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /> or even to a [[vampire]]'s typical bat-like wings (or even organic matter). Reimu even said, "I doubt she can fly with those wings". Concerning this statement, [[Hieda no Akyuu]] noted that there are plenty of those in [[Gensokyo]] who can fly without wings.<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /><br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS flandre.jpg|thumb|250px|Flandre's depiction in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Flandre Scarlet''|フランドール・スカーレット}} <ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040404190222/www16.big.or.jp/~zun/cgi-bin/diary/nicky.cgi?page=1 Winter Comic Thanks N° 2 (ZUN's Diary's post on 4th January 2004)]</ref>. The name Flandre is a modern French term for [[wikipedia:Flanders|Flanders]], a region which makes out the northern part of Belgium. Note that the pronunciation of her name in Japanese goes more along the lines of "Flandoor" or "Flandoll" rather than "Flander/Flandre" since her name in katakana was not {{lang|ja|フランドル}}, which would have been the more relevant katakana for "Flandre". Generally, there isn't actually any right or wrong way to pronounce the names in non-Japanese languages.<br />
<br />
"Scarlet" refers to a bright shade of the color red with a slight hint of orange and is a variant of "Scarlett" as a surname. The middle dot ({{lang|ja|・}}) in the middle of her name is used in foreign names to show where the next word begins. In ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she was called {{nihongo||妹様|Imouto-sama|lit. "''your [her] honor, little sister [of the mistress]''"}} by [[Patchouli Knowledge]].<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'''s official art, Flandre has red eyes and short blond hair, which is tied into a single ponytail on her left side. Wears a red dress and vest, with a pink shirt underneath and socks. Also wears a pink mob cap with a red ribbon attached. She carries a matching wand with her, which might be the mythical [[wikipedia:Lævateinn|Lævateinn]]. Arranged from her back to the tip of her wings her 8 crystals which are presented in seven colours<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" />: '''{{color|cyan|light blue}}, {{color|blue|blue}}, {{color|purple|purple}}, {{color|pink|pink}}, {{color|orange|orange}}, {{color|yellow|yellow}}, {{color|limegreen|light green}}''' and finally '''{{color|cyan|light blue}}''' again.<br />
<br />
===Music Theme===<br />
Her boss theme ("[[U.N. Owen was her?]]") and her second-to-last spell card ([[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Spell Cards/Extra#Spell Card 63|Secret Barrage "And Then Will There Be None?"]]) are references to [[wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]]'s novel ''[[wikipedia:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]]''. The plot of the book follows eight people who were invited to a small, isolated island by Ulick Norman Owen and Una Nancy Owen. Shortly after their arrival, a gramophone record is played, accusing each visitor of committing murder and escaping justice. The characters discover that none of them actually knows the Owens, and they conclude that their initials - "U.N. Owen" - are a shorthand for "Unknown". As the novel continues, every character meets their end, with each cause of death reflecting a part of a nursery rhyme. [[ZUN]] referred to this in the title of Flandre's song because she's, essentially, an ''unknown'' being.<ref name="EoSDomake"></ref><br />
<br />
==Flandre's Appearances==<br />
[[File:FSch7-SDMChars.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Flandre shown with [[Remilia Scarlet]] in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'' Chapter 7]]<br />
In [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]], Flandre states she hasn't left the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] for about 495 years, and has been staying in the basement of the mansion since then. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] theorizes on this in [[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]], stating that Flandre is probably a shut-in.<br />
<br />
It seems her confinement in the Scarlet Devil Mansion has given her time to understand every part of it, as she has been seen wandering inside the Mansion by some humans<ref>"Sometimes when I sneak into the Scarlet Devil Mansion like I own it, I run into the little sister. I had to slip by without drawin' her attention, but after goin' through all that to get into the place, I was hopin' I wouldn't run into her." (Marisa Kirisame)</ref> <ref>"I saw her shadow wandering around the mansion while I was at an outdoor party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It was truly frightening. I knew it was her just from the silhouette, but she doesn't get to join many parties." (Anonymous)</ref> and even hold an interview with [[Aya Shameimaru]] in the garden<ref>[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Flandre|Flandre's Interview]]</ref>. In [[Forbidden Scrollery]], Flandre appears watching [[Tupai|the pet of her sister]] along with her.<br />

[[File:Th06RemiliaBatSprite.png|frame|Flandre's bat form sprite in ''EoSD'']]<br />
<br />
After the main events of the game, Flandre makes her way out of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]'s basement while Remilia is off at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. With no other choice, [[Patchouli]] uses her magic to cause a rainstorm around the mansion so that she wouldn't be able to leave it. Soon enough, the player character makes their way to her.<br />
:{{Main|Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Story/Reimu's Extra|l1=Reimu Extra Arc}}<br />
When Reimu finds Flandre, she demands an explanation as to why her sister has been bothering her at the shrine. They decide to have a danmaku battle, and Reimu eventually emerges victorious. Flandre appears to calm down afterwards.<br />
:{{Main|Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Story/Marisa's Extra|l1=Marisa Extra Arc}}<br />
Marisa introduces herself as Reimu, but Flandre sees through the play - apparently she's aware of the magician's identity. After Marisa defeats her, they trade quotes from a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Then_There_Were_None certain book], adapted to fit their current situation.<br />

In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] encountered Flandre on the Extra [[stage]] and took photos of her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />

Flandre Scarlet works under [[Okina Matara]] in an effort to thwart [[Yuuma Toutetsu]]'s plans.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
<br />
;''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''<br />
[[File:052BAiJRFlandre.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Flandre destroying a meteor in her article in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]''.]]<br />
:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Flandre}}<br />
In April 2006, [[Aya Shameimaru]] reports on the strange explosion of a meteorite above [[Gensokyo]]. She learns that Flandre was the one who destroyed it, but becomes increasingly confused as Flandre explains she destroyed it by squeezing the eye of the meteorite in her hand. Even more perplexing information is given by Flandre's older sister, [[Remilia Scarlet]]. Apparently, it was planned that the meteorite was supposed to be aimed at the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] and that Flandre would destroy it. Inexplicably, Aya ends the article with a report that spring has begun.<br />
<br />
In her follow-up, Aya interviews Flandre about the explosion and Remilia's information. Flandre gives the same explanation for how she destroyed the meteorite, and, when questioned, says that her sister just acts like she knows what's happening. Remilia interrupts (for which Aya is thankful), and confirms that what Flandre said was true, insinuating that Aya just can't understand, while giving strange information about the meteorite's source.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Currently there have not been many portrayals of her relations other than to her older sister, but since it has been stated that "she has few friends even among the youkai of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and spends most of her time in isolation",<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /> she probably does not have very favourable relations with other residents.<br />
<br />
===Residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion===<br />
[[File:053BAiJRFlandre.jpg|thumb|200px|Remilia and Flandre, as illustrated in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]''.]]<br />
[[Remilia Scarlet]] is Flandre's older sister. Flandre is stated to respect her sister and Remilia cares for Flandre as shown where she is considering getting her a good tutor in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', but it is unknown how often the two interact. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' states that it's rare (but not nonexistent) to see Flandre and Remilia together. The only times that they're depicted together is in their cameo in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'' chapter 7 when they were looking at their pet [[Minor Characters#Tupai|Tupai]] and in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'', which also shows that Remilia will at least allow [[Aya Shameimaru]] to interview Flandre in the first place.<br />
<br />
The interview shows that although Flandre might respect her older sister, it's to the extent you'd expect a snarky child to. She is willing to outright state when she thinks Remilia is just spouting nonsense, at which point Remilia comes in with a comment that she shouldn't be talking about her older sister like that. Her treatment of her older sister became harsh and she even called Remilia {{nihongo|"that person"|あいつ|aitsu}}<br />
<br />
Not much is known about Flandre's relationships with other residents as she spends most of her time in the basement. Patchouli is aware of Flandre's existence and the need to keep her confined to the mansion, as Remilia noted Patchouli was probably causing a rainstorm around the mansion to keep Flandre from getting out. Presumebly, Sakuya also serves Flandre along with Remilia, but it's not stated, implied, or depicted in any official work. Someone prepares Flandre's food, which are humans prepared in the shape of pastries and other pleasant things, but it is never stated to be Sakuya.<br />
<br />
It's unknown what kind of relationship Flandre has with [[Hong Meiling]], the [[Fairy Maid]]s, the recent [[hobgoblin]]s and [[Koakuma]].<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Reimu Hakurei]]<br />
Though the shrine maiden promises to come play with her every so often during their dialogue in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', the two have not been seen together since then, so it is likely she just said that to get her to calm down.<br />
<br />
;[[Marisa Kirisame]]<br />
Her conversation with Marisa in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' leaves an impression that the two are quite friendly. However, Marisa commented, "Sometimes when I sneak into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I run into the little sister. I had to slip by without drawin' her attention, but after goin' through all that to get into the place, I was hopin' I wouldn't run into her."<ref name="PMiSSFlandre" /><br />

During the events of [[Touhou Gouyoku Ibun]], Okina Matara manipulated Flandre Scarlet into becoming an [[Assassin|assassin]] to take out [[Yuuma Toutetsu]] and thwart her plans.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*A silhouette of Flandre occupies the front of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'''s jewel case.<br />
*Flandre is one of the few characters to not appear in the background during ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', which would relate to her lack of leaving the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]].<br />
*Assuming her birth year by calculating backwards in the [[Gensokyo Timeline]], Flandre was born around 1508 A.D. The canonicity of this assumption is unknown, however.<br />
*The spell card reference ("And Then Will There Be None?") to an Agatha Christie novel is definite. It's more speculative but still worth noting that the science-fiction genre saw Philip K. Dick write a novel called "Counter-Clock World" in 1967 and Frederik Pohl write "The Gold at the Starbow's End" in 1972.<br />
*On one end of the Lævateinn that Flandre is seen holding in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'' is very different compared to the Lævateinn that Flandre is seen holding in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''.<br />
*She used the phrase "that means, you can't use a continue!" to [[Marisa Kirisame]], which was breaking the [[Canon#Fourth Wall|fourth wall]].<br />
*In the Second Touhou Saimoe Tournament, the 8th game of the first round was a battle between Flandre and [[Suika Ibuki]].<ref>[http://tuguna.info/toho/saimoe2.htm Watch report] of the Second Touhou Saimoe Tournament.</ref> Although the battle ended with Flan winning, this led to [[ZUN]] posting a rough drawing of Suika that hadn't been open to the public with a message saying "don't get defeated by a little sister that hasn't even reached the age of 500!"<ref name="ThShofu14">[[ZUN's former blog "Touhou Shofu" 14]]</ref>.<br />
*The "crystals" on her wings look somewhat similar to the crystals shown on [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s spell card, ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power/Spell Cards/Patchouli Knowledge#Spell Card 6|Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign "Philosopher's Stone"]]''.<br />
*Strangely, if one uses a bomb against her in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'''s Extra, she's shown to have normal wings in bat form.<br />
*It's hard to notice, but Flandre's skirt has two white ribbons on her EoSD portrait<ref>https://nrr08.com/f_scarlet.html</ref>.<br />
<br />
==Fandom==<br />
{{main|Fandom/Embodiment of Scarlet Devil#Flandre Scarlet|l1=Fandom: Flandre Scarlet}}<br />
Flandre has not made many appearances in the series, but maybe because of her personality and the way she looks and acts, she's become a very popular character. One reason would be because of her theme music ("U.N.Owen was her?"). It is particularly famous, and is often used in MAD videos, and for a time introduced many as "newcomers hoihoi" on Nico Nico to Touhou. Furthermore, the arrangement "{{lang|ja|最終鬼畜妹フランドール・S}}" ("Final Savage Sister, Flandre S.")<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1849248|title={{lang|ja|【東方】最終鬼畜妹フランドール・S【U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか?】}}|date=23 December 2007|access-date=26 October 2021}}</ref> in the album ''[[東方ストライク|Touhou Strike]]'' by [[COOL&CREATE]] seems to have been mistaken by many to have been the original music.<br />

The Extra Boss. Also the Mistress's younger sister.<br />
<br />
She is a vampiric magical girl and has been the Scarlet Devil's younger sister for about 495 years. She cannot control herself, so generally she isn't let outside. She also doesn't try going out.<br />
<br />
She idolizes her older sister [[Remilia Scarlet|Remilia]], but her destructive power unconstrained far exceeds that of her sister's. Although she doesn't often get angry or anything, she's always peculiar, which makes it difficult for others to understand her.<br />
<br />
Generally, [[vampire]]s always attack [[human]]s without killing them in order to feed, but Flandre has only ever eaten food that has been served to her, so she doesn't know how to properly attack a human. Because of this, she can't limit herself and ends up blowing them away without leaving a drop of blood.<br />
<br />
Speaking of which, she doesn't even know that what she always eats were once living humans. Her daily meals are made to look like foodstuffs such as cake and tea, after all...<br />

{{nihongo|'''Patchouli Knowledge'''|パチュリー・ノーレッジ|Pachurii Noorejji}} is a witch and resident of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] in the library. She's friends with the mistress of the house, [[Remilia Scarlet]], and acts as resident librarian. She's known as a highly capable, experienced, and studious magician, usually found researching the countless tomes within the house library. But her great abilities are offset by her poor health, caused by long-time reclusivity and asthma.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Patchouli was the Stage 4 boss and Extra midboss in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', along with being Stage 5 target in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]''. She became a playable character in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and again in ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'' and [[Touhou Hisoutensoku]] as an expansion character, she was a support character for [[Marisa Kirisame]] in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''.<br />
<br />
She is a [[magician]] (or witch) who is over 100 years old. As described in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', she is the type of magician that was naturally born as a magician; rather than a [[human]] that has become a magician through training, such as [[Alice Margatroid]].<br />
<br />
She is "fairly short" and is around the height of Marisa and [[Youmu Konpaku]]<ref>[[ZUN's E-mails]]</ref>. She stays confined to the library of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] because the books and her hair are damaged by sunlight.<ref>[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Patchouli]]</ref> Despite her enormous magic power, she has a weak constitution, has asthma, is anaemic and has vitamin A deficiency. Her physical ability is worse than that of humans.<br />
<br />
After the Scarlet Mist Incident during ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she became somewhat more active. It was commented that [[Suika Ibuki]]'s party at the shrine was enjoyable for her<ref>Immaterial and Missing Power - Ending 8</ref>, and in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', she said that she herself came to the shrine to pull an [[wikipedia:Omikuji|omikuji]]. Incidentally, the result of the omikuji was {{nihongo|"future blessing"|末吉}}, though it seemed to have been something prepared by Marisa. It is noted by Reimu that she tends to have bad luck.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
She doesn't have a very proactive personality, but rather always walks her own path. However, she's always interested where knowledge is concerned and will proactively go and try to acquire it. She does everything by the book, but still makes a lot of mistakes. She's also described as very dark and taciturn, which in this case means she is introverted and silent in expression and manner.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;:<nowiki>Ability: Manipulation of fire, water, wood, metal, earth, sun, and moon</nowiki> <br />
Patchouli manipulates the the five Chinese elements, making her an "Eastern style Western magician", an antithesis existence to [[Marisa Kirisame]]: "Western style Eastern magician". Patchouli is able to handle the five phases (commonly called [[wikipedia:Wu Xing|Wu Xing]], sometimes known as the five elements) with the addition of the sun and moon elements. The order of elements she uses follows the [[wikipedia:Days of the week#East Asian Seven Luminaries|days of the week on a Japanese calendar]]. Due to this, she's known as the "one-week girl".<ref>[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]] omake.txt</ref> In the Japanese language, the weekdays are named after the [[wikipedia:Classical planet|classical planets]], which in turn were named after the Wu Xing phases (e.g. Mercury, ''water'' star), plus the Sun and Moon as heavenly bodies. As this ordering is based on the [[wikipedia:Planetary hours|planetary hours]], there is no direct relationship between the weekdays and Wu Xing. The ordering of Patchouli's elements follows the weekday sequence, but places the ''Wu Xing'' phases first and "Sun" and "Moon" last. <br />

{{nihongo|Elemental magic|属性魔法}} (also {{nihongo|spiritual magic|精霊魔法}}) borrows the powers of spirits that exist in nature.<ref name="PMiSSPatche">[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]: [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Patchouli Knowledge|Patchouli Knowledge]]</ref> Through this, she's able to receive great output from a small input. Since the Wu Xing elements interact with each other, she can combine them and multiply their power, but this runs the risk of weakening the overall effect unless the elements are precisely controlled. When she confronts enemies that likewise use elemental magic, then the interactions of Wu Xing would imply that she can somehow effectively use her own magic and somehow inhibit the opponent's magic.<br />
<br />
[[File:GoMIllus-Patchouli.jpg|thumb|192px|Patchouli using the [[spell card]] ''Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign "Philosopher's Stone"'', as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''.]]<br />
<br />
Since the Wu Xing elements could be said to exist in living things, she touched upon them for characters who showed up in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''. For example, [[Marisa Kirisame]] is associated with the element "water" according to Patchouli.<ref>[[Immaterial and Missing Power/Story/Patchouli's Script]]</ref> Given Marisa's last name (Kirisame, meaning "drizzle"), her black clothing, her lack of yang (due to living in the [[Forest of Magic]]), and her "Cold Inferno" shot in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', this makes sense.<br />
<br />
She uses [[spell card]]s that combine multiple elements. In addition to using combinations with good compatibility such as ''Earth & Metal Sign "Emerald Megalith"'', she also uses combinations with poor compatibility such as ''Water & Fire Sign "Phlogistic Rain"''. Sun and moon are not within Wu Xing, but they're classically opposite to each other, and these two have been combined with each other in ''Sun & Moon Sign "Royal Diamond Ring"''. In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', she devised new experimental magic that combined elements with poor compatibility. With a large diversity of element combinations, she can do many things, such as increasing her power or covering her weaknesses.<ref name="PMiSSPatche" /> As of now, among the Wu Xing, the only combination that hasn't appeared is wood & earth.<br />
<br />
While she's capable of using advanced magic with great power, her poor health, asthma, and anemia limits her ability to use it. During ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she says "I can't finish reciting the spells because of my anemia!" and her condition limited her to using two-element spells. On another day, her asthma wasn't as bad and she felt better, so she was able to cast three advanced spells in a row: a sun, a moon, and a five-element spell.<br />
<br />
Fitting her magic to the same attributes as the days of the week is her secret hobby, but nobody has realized this.<ref>[[Immaterial and Missing Power]] [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]]</ref> Thanks to this, she doesn't mistake the day of the week, but oddly enough she doesn't have a good sense of the date.<br />
<br />
In ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'', she had the peculiarity of using different spell cards depending on the player's character and shot type (a recurring gimmick in many stage 4 bosses of the Touhou games). Other than spell cards, she's able to use a revolving laser that focuses on herself as her regular [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Patchouli has many books in the library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion which are mostly used for magic. Some of these books appear to act "independently" and can shoot [[danmaku]], as shown in Stage 4 and the Extra stage of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''. She also has waterproof books that Marisa finds interest in reading in the bath.{{citation needed}}<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
[[File:PMiSS patchouli.jpg|thumb|192px|Patchouli as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Patchouli Knowledge''|パチュリー・ノーレッジ}}. Her first name {{nihongo||パチュリー|Patchouli}} is a name of a plant of the Lamiaceae family, or the essential oil or perfume that could be made from it (originally from Tamil language). Her last name, {{nihongo||ノーレッジ|Knowledge}}, appears to reference to her learned, scholarly nature, though few other characters seem to have such literal surnames. The middle dot ({{lang|ja|・}}) in the middle of her name is used in foreign names to show where the next word begins. In the data files for ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', her first name was romanised as "Pachouly".<br />
<br />
A canon nickname, used for her by [[Remilia Scarlet]], is {{nihongo|"Pache"|パチェ}}, but "Patchy" is more commonly used in the English-speaking community.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Shown in various works, her hair and eyes are purple, and has many ribbons tied to her hair and other parts of her clothing. She wears pink pajama-like clothing and a night-cap with a gold crescent moon on it, which [[ZUN]] says is her daily wear. Apparently, her dress looks like it has stripes of purple and violet. But according to [[ZUN]], it's in fact ''not'' a stripe. This was confirmed in a talk of him and [[Twilight Frontier]]. In this talk, it says that even though they had acknowledged it by a material handed by ZUN, she ended up having a striped pattern in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' for some reason. A conversation quoted from the talk: ZUN "Patchouli doesn't have any stripes." Twilight Frontier staff "Everybody thinks Patchouli has stripes except ZUN-san."<ref>[http://dic.pixiv.net/a/パチュリー・ノーレッジ {{lang|ja|パチュリー・ノーレッジ 【ピクシブ百科事典】}}] her article on pixiv Encyclopedia.</ref><br />
<br />
Her alternative outfit in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'' is mostly lavender while her hair is a darker shade of violet.<br />

In ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', Patchouli attempts to stop the player from going further into the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], but has trouble as her anemia is preventing her from casting spells properly. Later on, when [[Flandre Scarlet]] gets out of the basement while [[Remilia Scarlet]] is away, she casts a rain spell around the mansion to prevent her from leaving. When the player returns, she challenges them again, this time with more powerful magic as she happens to be feeling better.<br />

;Immaterial and Missing Power<br />
:{{Main|Immaterial_and_Missing_Power/Story#Patchouli.27s_Story|l1=Immaterial and Missing Power Patchouli's Scenario}}<br />
In ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', Patchouli decides to investigate the strange events herself after shooing [[Marisa Kirisame]] out of the library. Before leaving, she puts [[Sakuya Izayoi]] in charge of keeping an eye on things. As soon as she leaves, she runs into [[Alice Margatroid]], who's also investigating, and defeats her. From there, she makes her way to the [[Netherworld]], where after beating [[Youmu Konpaku]], she interrogates [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]]. Unfortunately, the ghost doesn't know anything either, but implies that [[Yukari Yakumo]] might. After fighting her at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] for a bit, [[Suika Ibuki]] finally decides to make herself known.<br />
<br />
;''Shoot the Bullet''<br />
[[File:Th095PatchouliSprite.png|frame|Patchouli's sprite in ''StB'']]<br />

Patchouli appears in the beginning of [[Hong Meiling]]'s story mode in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' when Meiling runs in and claims there is an earthquake. They fight, and while Patchouli is defeated, she gets Meiling to leave her in peace. She is also a selectable character to play with, although she's got no scenario.<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Patchouli.png|frame|Patchouli in ''HM'']]<br />
Patchouli made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Hakurei Shrine]] stage. She is seen sitting on a chair with [[Remilia Scarlet]] under a tree, reading a book.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
[[File:OSPPatchouli.png|thumb|150px|Patchouli's appearance in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' chapter 15]]<br />
;Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red<br />
Patchouli appears in an article where she decides to organize a setsubun festival at the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], though summer is already approaching. She claims that the word "setsubun" originally means "interval between seasons", so there should be no problem having it at that time rather than between winter and spring, when it's usually held. However, it being an outside-world holiday, Patchouli is unclear on a lot of the details. [[Aya Shameimaru]] interviews her afterwards, and she says that she's generally happy with how it turned out, though she did need to forbid the [[Fairy Maid]]s from throwing beans around in her library. They also discuss the [[oni]], and their inherent weaknesses.<br />
<br />
;Silent Sinner in Blue<br />
Patchouli is the main force behind the research and design of the rocket that [[Remilia Scarlet]], [[Reimu Hakurei]], [[Marisa Kirisame]], and [[Sakuya Izayoi]] use to reach the [[Moon]]. However, she cannot create the rocket fuel, so she decides to get Reimu to help by using her powers. She also remains behind as the navigator as the rocket travels to the Moon.<br />
<br />
;Strange and Bright Nature Deity<br />
Patchouli appears in a couple of chapters of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' in the Scarlet Devil Mansion arc, where she enjoys a few meals with Sakuya and Remilia as the new year comes.<br />
<br />
;Oriental Sacred Place<br />
Patchouli also appears in chapter 15 in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', stumbling around her library for research materials. She leaves herself and goes to the shrine to recover some stolen books. The book in question had its seal unlocked, but no one knows by whom. In the meantime, the [[Three Fairies of Light]] sneak in and grab a few books and take them back home, later discovering that they're unable to read them at all.<br />
<br />
==In Fighting Games==<br />
In the fighting games by [[Twilight Frontier]], she was a magic-oriented shot-type character. In ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'' and afterwards, among the characters, she has the shortest spiritual power recovery delay after using shots or skills, and thus, as a sluggish character, her speciality in using shooting skills is pushed all the more.{{clarify|awkward phrase "pushed all the more"}}<br />
<br />
Her movements are fundamentally dull. She possesses rotational ability among the top three in free-orbit-type flight, and even though this means that she has fast initial velocity like [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]], this does not mean that she has transgressive reach of [[Iku Nagae]]'s striking attacks, so comparatively her mobility is low.<br />
<br />
With regular shots, homing bullets, and time-delayed installation-type shots that go from rapid-firing in a straight line to making shots that spread over a wide range, she has a full set of moves. (However, strangely enough, she is only missing a laser). Her [[spell card]]s start with the truly invincible full-screen attack Sun Sign "Royal Flare", so in this aspect she also has a full set of various shots.<br />
<br />
Aside from her spell cards, her shot-skills have also been set to have fire, water, wood, metal, and earth attributes. Each of the commands, "236", "214", "623", "421" and "22", have been assigned to a particular attribute. This guarantees that she is able to use any one of the five attributes at any given instance, regardless of how one re-writes her skills. The attributes themselves do not affect gameplay except in one of her spell cards.<br />
<br />
Her spell card ''Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign "Philosopher's Stone"'' makes five gems appear around her governing the five colours (just like in the extra stage of ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''). When Patchouli uses shot attack skills for each attribute, the jewel for the corresponding attribute breaks and becomes a homing-shot attack. Since the broken jewels need some time in order to reappear, it is not possible to put Philosopher's Stone to practical use by rapidly using attacks of the same attribute.<br />
<br />
Although she is a character specialising in shots, her strike-type skills are also quite wild. These skills are also mostly making lights of magic from the front of her hand, striking the opponent with the soul of wind etc., so it doesn't look like they change much from her shot-type skills, but some of them are skills to hit the opponent at close range with the book that she has. Her close-A does striking with the book, like a quip in a comedy act, and 6A makes a stance to the extent of bending backwards, striking down with the book. Upon a hit, the opponent is sent all the way to the wall. Other than that, 3A has a kneeling posture of sliding with both feet with both arms horizontal, and upon repeating it, one is able to attack or graze swiftly.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion===<br />
Patchouli Knowledge is [[Remilia Scarlet]]'s old friend.<ref>Relationship flowcharts in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' say Patchouli is an "old friend" of Remilia's</ref> In ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', they called each other {{nihongo|"Remi"|レミィ}} and {{nihongo|"Pache"|パチェ}} respectively. The two have been depicted having tea and casual conversations together in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' and ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', where Patchouli offhandedly commented that they're both creatures of the night. As stated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', Patchouli's role at the mansion is to solve problems and to cause them. Patchouli will often volunteer her services when she sees Remilia in need of them.<ref>''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Translation/Extra Story|Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Extra Story]]'': Patchouli caused a localised rainstorm to keep Flandre confined to the mansion.</ref><ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'' Ending 3: Patchouli helps Remilia in planning a trip to the moon.</ref><br />
<br />
Patchouli is unlikely to be formally employed by Remilia. [[Sakuya Izayoi]] referred to Patchouli as "The Mistress's magician friend" while talking to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] about her.<ref>[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter_18|Curiosities of Lotus Asia Chapter 18]] "The Mistress's magician friend said 'I have enough of the ingredients,'"</ref>, as opposed to any sort of employee title. She is referred to as Remilia's friend in other materials, as well.<br />
<br />
The head maid [[Sakuya Izayoi]] is occasionally seen serving Patchouli. Patchouli tends to be rather sarcastic and condescending with her and [[Hong Meiling]], but seems to appreciate her, as she always remembers to thank Sakuya for tea or for completion of other jobs. With Meiling however, she tends to tell her to read books as to improve her brain. [[Koakuma]] is an employee of Scarlet Devil Mansion seen working in the library; any dialogue interactions between the two are unknown.<br />
<br />
Not much is known about the relationship between Patchouli and [[Flandre Scarlet]]. Patchouli is aware of Flandre's existence and the need to keep her confined to the mansion, as Remilia noted Patchouli was probably causing a rainstorm around the mansion to keep Flandre from getting out.<br />
<br />
===Marisa Kirisame===<br />
[[Marisa Kirisame]] is a thief who steals books from the library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She states that she's only borrowing but Patchouli reacts by telling Marisa in ''Oriental Sacred Place'' that she has no intention to lend Marisa books in a rather serious tone.<ref>[[Oriental Sacred Place]] Chapter 15</ref> However, she's one of three people who assists Marisa during ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'''s events, showing some sort of affinity despite Patchouli having her own agenda. Marisa has copied Patchouli's regular danmaku attack and named it Love Sign "Non-directional Laser", used as her normal B-type bomb in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' and as a spell card in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and other games.<br />

==Spell Cards==<br />
With the exception of her story cards Sign I "St. Elmo's Explosion" and Sign II "Forty-Day Deluge" in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', whose prefixes are patterned in the style of other cards in that game, all of Patchouli's spell names are prefixed with one or more of the kanji for the seven elements she manipulates. The longest of these is {{Nihongo|Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign "Philosopher's Stone"|火水木金土符「賢者の石」|Ka-sui-moku-kin-do-fu "Kenja no Ishi"}}. Except in the fighting games, all other card with multiple elements have have the kanji for those elements separated by an ampersand in the prefix.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Patchouli often refers to the science and technology of the [[Outside World|outside world]] as magic. This is actually not ignorance, but more due to her personal beliefs, as she tells [[Marisa Kirisame]] in her ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' victory quote that science and magic are the same.<br />
*In ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', Patchouli refers to intruders/thieves (e.g., [[Marisa Kirisame]]) as "rats" and guards (e.g., [[Sakuya Izayoi]] and [[Hong Meiling]]) as "cats". She rates the catness/effectiveness of a guard on a scale of 1 to 96, because that's the highest number under 100 that is divisible by both 2 and 3. After defeating Sakuya in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', she gave her a rating of 24. As for Hong Meiling, Patchouli compares that cat to a sieve in her ''Immaterial and Missing Power'' victory quote.<br />
*The crescent on Patchouli's hat could be the crescent in the Sanskrit "Hum", part of the Mantra [[wikipedia:Om mani padme hum|"Om mani padme hum"]]. In Buddhism, it stands for knowledge and purity and is associated with the color white—all the 7 colors combined.<br />
*As of ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Patchouli has had appearances in 9 of the 13 [[Windows]] games (counting ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' as a standalone). This makes her the third most featured character, behind [[Reimu Hakurei]] and Marisa.<br />
*In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', one of Patchouli's alternate colors resembles [[Hina Kagiyama]]'s outfit.<br />
*The books in Patchouli's spell card, [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Spell Cards/Extra#Spell Card 54|Fire Water Wood Metal Earth Sign "Philosopher's Stone"]], are arranged in a similar way to the [[Five Magic Stones]].<br />
*It's suggested in ''Immaterial and Missing Power'' that Patchouli drinks coffee occasionally when she's studying, unlike the other residents of [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] who almost always drink tea.<br />
*The rhythm of Patchouli's theme ''Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Sealed Room'', when converted into morse code ("・-・・ --- ・・・- ・"), spells "love". This is referenced in the title of a cover of the song by ShibayanRecords on the album ''Magico Catastrofe''.<ref name="ShibayanRecords: Magico Catastrofe Track 08">[[ShibayanRecords]], [[Magico Catastrofe]], [[Lyrics: ・-・・ --- ・・・- ・|Track 08]].</ref><br />
*Unofficially, [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s library has often been called "Voile" based on its [[Voile, the Magic Library|stage theme]]. However, based on an erratum for ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'' correcting the name of Patchouli's library from {{nihongo|"Voile, the Magic Library"|ヴワル図書館}} to {{nihongo|"a library inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion"|紅魔館内の図書館}},<ref>Ichijinsha Webpage - [http://www.comptiq.com/release/comic/55touhou_owabi.html the list of errata] (''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'')</ref> the name "Voile" is not considered canon.<br />

Her weak constitution makes her poor at physical combat, but she makes up for for that with her various and powerful magical attacks. Patchouli's ribbon is not a holy charm, but rather an accessory that boosts magic power.<br />

As a genuine witch, she possesses terrifying sorcerous powers. However, due to her natural asthma, she has difficulty reciting her incantations to the end. She also seems to have a vitamin A deficiency.<br />
<br />
Maybe her windowless library room is dusty. No, obviously, it's very dusty. But with all the time she spends near her books, she feels that they're a part of her and cannot stand to be separated from them. She's lived this way for a hundred years or so.<br />

Residence: Scarlet Devil Mansion<br/><br />
Ability: Handling magic (mainly elemental magic)<br />
<br />
A witch who has settled down in the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. Unlike the [[Remilia Scarlet|mistress]] of the house, she is not weak against sunlight; however, she does not go out much. She spends her days in a library where the sunlight cannot reach. This is so that the books won't be damaged, but the unhealthy atmosphere is bad for her health.<br />
<br />
She doesn't have a very proactive personality, but rather always walks her own path. However, she is always interested where knowledge is concerned and will proactively go and try to acquire it. She does everything by the book, but still makes a lot of mistakes.<br />
<br />
Although she is quite skillful, her complete lack of physical fighting ability can't be helped. She pretty much never attempts to directly punch or kick her opponent. She makes up for this with her knowledge of a great variety of powerful magic. She's more at ease using magic than trying to attack physically. Dividing the magic she uses according to the days of the week is a secret hobby of hers, but no one has realized this.<br />

On close inspection, these earth spirits looked just like phantoms, but they were actually vengeful spirits, a slightly different variety. Unlike phantoms, vengeful spirits bear grudges against the world. They were a threat to humans, youkai, and fairies alike.<br />
<br />
Although she wanted take her time to look for a book on vengeful spirits, but it would have been quite dangerous no one were no one were to check on the geyser.

{{nihongo|'''Hong Meiling'''|紅 美鈴|Hon Meirin}} is a [[youkai]], though it isn't currently known which specific category she actually belongs to. She's the [[gatekeeper]] of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. She is known for her mastery of the martial arts, part of which can be seen from her movement which is performed with Shin-Kyaku (a move in Chinese martial arts).<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Meiling first appeared as the [[Stage]] 3 [[boss]] and midboss of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''. Later she became a playable character in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', one of Stage 5's targets in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', and one of the three protagonists of ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]''.<br />
<br />
Meiling is a proud Chinese-style martial arts master and a [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Meiling is very laid-back, which sometimes gets her into trouble, and is known to sleep on the job. She regularly receives challengers and is a worthy opponent of the strong. She is not outwardly aggressive towards humans, except those who attempt to trespass on the grounds of [[Scarlet Devil Mansion|Scarlet Devil Manor]], though it seems the only humans who trespass are powerful enough to defeat her in the first place. She will also sometimes have conversations with bypassers. <br />
<br />
Many of her lines in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' express a boastful, somewhat stereotypical patriotism for China: "You're all not there yet! You're all children compared to 4000 years of history!" She also compares [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] to a [[Jiang Shi]] and notes that [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] and the [[Celestial]]s have read Chinese classics. The script also reveals that she seems to spend a lot of time reading manga written by the [[tengu]].<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
Meiling's mastery of t'ai chi ch'uan is her main ability in combat, but other than that, she has no youkai-like ability. While not particularly strong as a youkai, she is described as being well-rounded, with no particular weak point when fighting [[human]]s; this is likely why she was hired to watch the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. <br />
<br />
;Usage of ''Qi''<br />
Meiling is able to manipulate her life-breath, or ''qi''. Her danmaku and her flight likely involve projecting her ''qi'' outward to attack foes or propel herself in a manner seen in martial arts folklore and in contemporary Japanese manga.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Meiling works as the [[gatekeeper]] and gardener of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. She also acts as the doorkeeper when there's a party at the mansion. She performs Tai Chi Chuan daily, and has a nap at noon.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
[[File:PMiSS meiling.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Meiling's depiction in [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|'''Hong Meiling'''|紅 美鈴|Hon Meirin}}. The character for {{nihongo||紅|Hong}} literally means "Scarlet/Crimson" in Japanese and "Red" in Chinese. {{nihongo||美鈴|Meiling}} means "Beauty Bell/Chime". The latter part of her name, Meiling, is at least a common Chinese name. Her full name is a referrence to Hong Mei, a tai chi grandmaster. These characters can be read in Japanese as "Kurenai Misuzu", and you'll sometimes see her name mispronounced or miswritten that way. Using English name order, her name would actually be "Meiling Hong", which is used normally by Chinese diaspora or immigrants into Western countries. Some sources and media may often read Chinese names in Japanese on'yomi, rendering her name as "Kou Birei/Kou Mirin". Meiling's name is often rendered in pinyin/Mandarin instead.<br />
<br />
{{nihongo||紅|Hong}} is "kou" in the on reading, "Hóng" in standard Chinese and "Hhong" in Shanghainese. It could possibly refer to the [[Wikipedia:Red Guards (China)|Red Guards]] ({{lang|zh-hk|紅衛兵}}, [[wikipedia:Pinyin|Pinyin]]: ''Hóng Wèibīng''), a youth movement of the cultural revolution of [[Wikipedia:China|China]]. This is reinforced by her clothing. The word "guard" also has the meaning of "gatekeeper" as well. Thus, it could indicate a pun, where "guard of the family name Hong = Red Guard." "Hong" also appears in the title of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' ({{lang|ja|東方'''紅'''魔郷}}). However, the name of the game in its developmental stages was {{lang|ja|東方'''紅'''茶館}}, thus indicating that it has a strong relation to the {{lang|ja|紅}} of {{nihongo|black tea|紅茶}}.<br />
<br />
Additionally, her first name could also stand for {{lang|ja|虹}}, which means rainbow, since it has the same ''on'' reading as {{lang|ja|紅}} as well as the same pronunciation in standard Chinese and Shanghaiese. However, it also is synonymous with a two-headed dragon-like creature in a Chinese-context, thus the ''hóng'' dragon's rainbow associations may be reflected in Meiling's title of "Colorful Rainbow Gatekeeper", the naming theme of some of her spell cards, and her bullet patterns and attacks being usually rainbow-colored.<br />
<br />
Her name was spelled by [[ZUN]] as in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and the corrected version of [http://www.comptiq.com/release/comic/55touhou_owabi.html Sangetsusei] as ''Hong Meirin''. Her name became ''Hoan Meirin'' in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''. Though in pinyin, it would be "Meiling"; there is not a single source within the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' itself that states that it is spelled in this manner. Additionally, Meiling says "Geez, please remember my name~" in a win quote in ''Immaterial and Missing Power'' while ZUN didn't know how to answer the question "Is Chuugoku's name forgotten?"<ref name="MUtDoT">[[Meiji University talkshow "Dawn of Touhou"]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Meiling has aqua-blue eyes and long, scarlet hair that symbolizes both her name and the place that she's guarding. Her green beret and dress resemble traditional Chinese clothing mixed with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards_(China) red guard] uniform. Her beret has a gold star on the front with the Traditional Chinese character "{{lang|ja|龍}}" that is read and pronounced as "lóng" in standard Chinese and means dragon. She wears white pants in her fighting game sprites.<br />
<br />
==Meiling's Appearances==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''<br />
[[File:Th06HongSprite.png|frame|Meiling's sprite in ''EoSD'']]<br />
During the events of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she bravely fought against the intruding heroines, but ultimately failed. She ends up being followed by the player character to the mansion against her will, initiating another fight.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Immaterial and Missing Power''<br />
:{{Main|Immaterial and Missing Power/Story/Meiling's Script|l1=Immaterial and Missing Power Meiling's Script}}<br />
Meiling was made playable in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' through a downloadable patch, but she was the only one to not be given a scenario. She is almost universally considered a bottom tier character in the game as well, despite the fact that she has some of the most impressive combos in the game, as shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_VGVg9ocEQ here].<br />
<br />
;''Shoot the Bullet''<br />
[[File:Th095HongSprite.png|frame|Meiling's sprite in ''StB'']]<br />
In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] encountered Meiling on [[stage]] 5 and took photos of her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Touhou Hisoutensoku''<br />
:{{Main|Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Meiling's Scenario|l1=Touhou Hisoutensoku Meiling's Scenario}}<br />
In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', she saw a roaming giant that she was certain was an incarnation of a God of Calamity, "[[Taisui Xingjun]]". However, those she warned didn't realize the seriousness of the situation they were facing. Thus it was up to Meiling alone to defend the Scarlet Devil Mansion and all of [[Gensokyo]] from this destructive deity. After defeating some pseudo-characters sent as [[assassin]]s, she defeats a [[Giant Catfish]] and faces Taisui himself, then realizing it was all a dream. It may be worth noting that despite her comically strange scenario, she is considered by Soku communities to generally be a high tier character in this game unlike in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''.<br />

:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Meiling|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Meiling}}''<br />
One day, a mysterious crop circle appears in the gardens of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], causing widespread speculation, rumors and gossip around the Mansion.<br />
<br />
Meiling, who is responsible for taking care of the garden, claims not to be the culprit, but admits that she's been tasked by Remilia to restore the garden to its original state now that her mistress has become bored with the crop circle pattern.<br />
During her interview with [[Aya Shameimaru]], she notes she is quite worried, as she has no idea how to change the flowers back.<br />
Questioned about the crop circle's origins, Meiling vehemently denies falling asleep, so Aya goes on to talk about aliens...<br />
<br />
The culprit revealed at the end is [[Patchouli Knowledge]].<br />
<br />
;''Touhou Bougetsushou''<br />
[[File:Inaba09Meiling.png|thumb|150px|right|Meiling's appearance in ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]''.]]<br />
During the party to celebrate the completion of Remilia's Moon rocket in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', Meiling was briefly shown guarding the gates of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] as invitees walked by. Expanded on in ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', Meiling was in charge of vetting invitations. She gave a speech about how she would not let anyone through without the proper invites, but the residents of [[Eientei]] simply walked past her while she was giving it. Meiling managed to get them to show her their invites, but got bombarded by so many invites from so many [[rabbit]]s that a whole slew of people (the Eientei group included) got by. Inside the mansion, the group ran into [[Sakuya Izayoi]], causing [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] to remember how powerful Sakuya was and think about how her job of managing the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion put her on a whole new level compared to that gate guard.<br />
<br />
About two months later, in an unrelated incident, [[Eirin Yagokoro]] infiltrated the Scarlet Devil Mansion and met [[Patchouli Knowledge]] in the library. Patchouli wondered what happened to the gate guard, to which Eirin commented that she played tough, but all she needed to get past her was a "light greeting".<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
In Chapter 16 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', it appears that because [[Remilia Scarlet]] and [[Sakuya Izayoi]] were both drinking from the [[Ibaraki Box of a Hundred Medicines]] at a flowering viewing, they started to violently tease Meiling. <br />
<br />
;''Cheating Detective Satori''<br />
In the first incident of ''[[Cheating Detective Satori]]'', [[Patchouli Knowledge]] is revealed to have been non-fatally poisoned by an unknown person, leading to an investigation at the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] of who the culprit could be. Early on into the investigation, Meiling is shown standing at the gates of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. She is approached by [[Rin Kaenbyou]], who is presumably there to ask Meiling about the incident. She first asks Meiling if there were any visitors at the time of Patchouli's poisoning, to which Meiling tells her there were none. Smiling, Rin then asks Meiling if she was even watching the gate at the time, to which Meiling hesitantly responds that she was. However, Rin tells Meiling what others have told her, which is that the gate to the Scarlet Devil Mansion is usually wide open while the gatekeeper is notoriously absent. Meiling appears quite nervous at this point, even more so when Rin mentions that the detective ([[Satori Komeiji]]) can read minds, so Meiling had "better just be honest" about whether or not she was watching the gate, as it will come to light at one point or another. Flustered and feeling the pressure, Meiling cracks and tells Rin that she was asleep at the time that Patchouli was poisoned.<br />
<br />
Later on in the incident, [[Sakuya Izayoi]] is accused of being the culprit of Patchouli's poisoning, and thus is locked away in the basement. Meiling visits Sakuya to bring her food and scorn her due to the amount of evidence pointing to her being the culprit. She slams and locks the basement door on Sakuya before leaving her there alone with [[Flandre Scarlet]].<br />
<br />
Sometime later in this same incident, [[Reimu Hakurei]] is flying overhead when she spots Meiling passed out on the ground. Reimu lands and approaches Meiling, who attempts to slap Meiling awake, however this does not work. Rin then approaches Reimu and the passed out Meiling on the ground. Rin briefly inspects Meiling before concluding that the symptoms Meiling is feeling are the same as Patchouli's symptoms, meaning that Meiling has also been poisoned by the unknown culprit.<br />
<br />
At the end of the first incident, it is revealed that both Patchouli and Meiling were not poisoned, but rather they were possessed by a criminal from [[Former Hell]]. Said criminal is a [[vengeful spirit]] with the ability control the body of whom they possess, as well as devour the magical energy of those they possess. The criminal first possessed Sakuya, who used Sakuya's body to move closer on Patchouli. The spirit then hopped onto Meiling, who sapped her energy and put her into a coma.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Meiling has at least communicated to the entire cast of ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' and may be on friendly terms with anyone who walks nearby the gates of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]].<br />
<br />
===Residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion===<br />
;[[Remilia Scarlet]]<br />
Remilia is Meiling's mistress. Being the type of person Remilia is, she tends to tease all her subordinates, and Meiling is no exception. She does get mad at her sometimes if things don't go her way, but the two are generally on friendly terms, and in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' it's suggested that Remilia reads some of the same manga Meiling does.<br />
;[[Sakuya Izayoi]]<br />
Sakuya is a fellow employee of Meiling. Meiling's win quote against [[Sakuya Izayoi]] in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' implies a friendly, if somewhat formal, relationship between the two of them (rather than the comically abusive relationship often depicted in fan works). In those quotes, Meiling also tells Sakuya that she always goes easy on her, so it seems they do spar often. She also claims that she wouldn't go easy on the maid if it were a formal match, but it's unknown how much effort there is on Sakuya's part, or if Meiling's claims about her strength are true at all. Sakuya is also shown to care for Meiling, though is strict about her not slacking off.<br />
;[[Patchouli Knowledge]]<br />
Patchouli is the friend of her mistress, and sometimes berates her for not thinking enough and spending too much time reading senseless comics.<br />
;Fairy maids and other staff<br />
The [[fairy maid]]s assist Meiling in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', but it's unknown what sort of authority she has over the [[fairy maid]]s in the mansion. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' imples that youkai also join in Meiling's battles on a whim, but instead usually only point and laugh.<br />
;[[Flandre Scarlet]]<br />
Flandre is Remilia's younger sister. It's unknown what kind of relationship Meiling and Flandre have, however.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;Taisui Xingjun and the giant catfish<br />
[[Taisui Xingjun]] is Meiling's sworn enemy and the [[Giant Catfish]] is the avatar of Taisui Xingjun. They both only appeared in her dream while she was reading a manga, so any realistic communications with them is so far not shown.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Meiling became a playable character in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' through a downloadable patch, although she wasn't given a a scenario.<br />
*If Meiling loses to [[Youmu]] in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', Youmu will ask if Meiling shouldn't just use a weapon, namely a green dragon blade. This can be a source of confusion, since many would imagine the legendary [[wikipedia:Green Dragon Crescent Blade|Green Dragon Crescent Blade]] wielded by the famous Chinese general Guan Yu, but women seldom use pole arms in Chinese martial arts. In Japan, the term has become a common misnomer for the [[wikipedia:Liuyedao|liuyedao]] and other [[wikipedia:Dao (sword)|Chinese sabers]]. As Youmu admits she has only heard about them in stories, the use of her local, incorrect term is likely intentional.<br />
*One of her normal bullet attacks (along with a few of her skill cards) in ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'' resembles Krizalid's Typhoon/Tuhon Rage from ''The King of Fighters '99'', ''2000'', and ''2002: Unlimited Match''. <br />
*Meiling looks very similar to [[Orange]].<br />
*Meiling is one of the few characters to not make a cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. The reason is currently unknown.<br />
*Meiling is loosely based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bak_Mei#Historical_Bak_Mei Hong Mei] (red eyebrows), a Tai Chi grandmaster and leader of the buddhist shaolin temple where the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Elders five elders] of Kung fu are from.<br />

<br />
The always noisy Scarlet Devil Mansion. That day, it was as noisy as ever. Its gate guard had reported something to the mansion's master, Remilia Scarlet, but the master had loftily ignored her.<br />
<br />
The girl felt a vague sense of uneasiness. That morning, she had seen a giant figure. Then, it dissolved into a lukewarm mist and disappeared.<br />
<br />
Just what was that? A big shadow like a roc, and a sinister mist being produced. She was certain.<br />
<br />
It was the shadow of the Buddha of Misfortune, "[[Taisui Xingjun]]".<br />
<br />
<br />
She reported to the master of the mansion that an evil god that all youkai must join forces and fight against had finally appeared in Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
Naturally, nobody listened to her.<br />
<br />
The girl thought. In order to break up the everyday boredom with a little fun, she had intentionally exaggerated a bit.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Hong Meiling'''|紅 美鈴|Hon Meirin}} is a [[youkai]], though it isn't currently known which specific category she actually belongs to. She's the [[gatekeeper]] of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. She is known for her mastery of the martial arts, part of which can be seen from her movement which is performed with Shin-Kyaku (a move in Chinese martial arts).<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Meiling first appeared as the [[Stage]] 3 [[boss]] and midboss of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''. Later she became a playable character in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', one of Stage 5's targets in ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', and one of the three protagonists of ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]''.<br />
<br />
Meiling is a proud Chinese-style martial arts master and a [[youkai]].<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Meiling is very laid-back, which sometimes gets her into trouble, and is known to sleep on the job. She regularly receives challengers and is a worthy opponent of the strong. She is not outwardly aggressive towards humans, except those who attempt to trespass on the grounds of [[Scarlet Devil Mansion|Scarlet Devil Manor]], though it seems the only humans who trespass are powerful enough to defeat her in the first place. She will also sometimes have conversations with bypassers. <br />
<br />
Many of her lines in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' express a boastful, somewhat stereotypical patriotism for China: "You're all not there yet! You're all children compared to 4000 years of history!" She also compares [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] to a [[Jiang Shi]] and notes that [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] and the [[Celestial]]s have read Chinese classics. The script also reveals that she seems to spend a lot of time reading manga written by the [[tengu]].<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
Meiling's mastery of t'ai chi ch'uan is her main ability in combat, but other than that, she has no youkai-like ability. While not particularly strong as a youkai, she is described as being well-rounded, with no particular weak point when fighting [[human]]s; this is likely why she was hired to watch the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. <br />
<br />
;Usage of ''Qi''<br />
Meiling is able to manipulate her life-breath, or ''qi''. Her danmaku and her flight likely involve projecting her ''qi'' outward to attack foes or propel herself in a manner seen in martial arts folklore and in contemporary Japanese manga.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Meiling works as the [[gatekeeper]] and gardener of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. She also acts as the doorkeeper when there's a party at the mansion. She performs Tai Chi Chuan daily, and has a nap at noon.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
[[File:PMiSS meiling.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Meiling's depiction in [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|'''Hong Meiling'''|紅 美鈴|Hon Meirin}}. The character for {{nihongo||紅|Hong}} literally means "Scarlet/Crimson" in Japanese and "Red" in Chinese. {{nihongo||美鈴|Meiling}} means "Beauty Bell/Chime". The latter part of her name, Meiling, is at least a common Chinese name. Her full name is a referrence to Hong Mei, a tai chi grandmaster. These characters can be read in Japanese as "Kurenai Misuzu", and you'll sometimes see her name mispronounced or miswritten that way. Using English name order, her name would actually be "Meiling Hong", which is used normally by Chinese diaspora or immigrants into Western countries. Some sources and media may often read Chinese names in Japanese on'yomi, rendering her name as "Kou Birei/Kou Mirin". Meiling's name is often rendered in pinyin/Mandarin instead.<br />
<br />
{{nihongo||紅|Hong}} is "kou" in the on reading, "Hóng" in standard Chinese and "Hhong" in Shanghainese. It could possibly refer to the [[Wikipedia:Red Guards (China)|Red Guards]] ({{lang|zh-hk|紅衛兵}}, [[wikipedia:Pinyin|Pinyin]]: ''Hóng Wèibīng''), a youth movement of the cultural revolution of [[Wikipedia:China|China]]. This is reinforced by her clothing. The word "guard" also has the meaning of "gatekeeper" as well. Thus, it could indicate a pun, where "guard of the family name Hong = Red Guard." "Hong" also appears in the title of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' ({{lang|ja|東方'''紅'''魔郷}}). However, the name of the game in its developmental stages was {{lang|ja|東方'''紅'''茶館}}, thus indicating that it has a strong relation to the {{lang|ja|紅}} of {{nihongo|black tea|紅茶}}.<br />
<br />
Additionally, her first name could also stand for {{lang|ja|虹}}, which means rainbow, since it has the same ''on'' reading as {{lang|ja|紅}} as well as the same pronunciation in standard Chinese and Shanghaiese. However, it also is synonymous with a two-headed dragon-like creature in a Chinese-context, thus the ''hóng'' dragon's rainbow associations may be reflected in Meiling's title of "Colorful Rainbow Gatekeeper", the naming theme of some of her spell cards, and her bullet patterns and attacks being usually rainbow-colored.<br />
<br />
Her name was spelled by [[ZUN]] as in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and the corrected version of [http://www.comptiq.com/release/comic/55touhou_owabi.html Sangetsusei] as ''Hong Meirin''. Her name became ''Hoan Meirin'' in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''. Though in pinyin, it would be "Meiling"; there is not a single source within the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' itself that states that it is spelled in this manner. Additionally, Meiling says "Geez, please remember my name~" in a win quote in ''Immaterial and Missing Power'' while ZUN didn't know how to answer the question "Is Chuugoku's name forgotten?"<ref name="MUtDoT">[[Meiji University talkshow "Dawn of Touhou"]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Meiling has aqua-blue eyes and long, scarlet hair that symbolizes both her name and the place that she's guarding. Her green beret and dress resemble traditional Chinese clothing mixed with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Guards_(China) red guard] uniform. Her beret has a gold star on the front with the Traditional Chinese character "{{lang|ja|龍}}" that is read and pronounced as "lóng" in standard Chinese and means dragon. She wears white pants in her fighting game sprites.<br />

===Games===<br />

During the events of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she bravely fought against the intruding heroines, but ultimately failed. She ends up being followed by the player character to the mansion against her will, initiating another fight.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Immaterial and Missing Power''<br />

Meiling was made playable in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' through a downloadable patch, but she was the only one to not be given a scenario. She is almost universally considered a bottom tier character in the game as well, despite the fact that she has some of the most impressive combos in the game, as shown [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_VGVg9ocEQ here].<br />

In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', she saw a roaming giant that she was certain was an incarnation of a God of Calamity, "[[Taisui Xingjun]]". However, those she warned didn't realize the seriousness of the situation they were facing. Thus it was up to Meiling alone to defend the Scarlet Devil Mansion and all of [[Gensokyo]] from this destructive deity. After defeating some pseudo-characters sent as [[assassin]]s, she defeats a [[Giant Catfish]] and faces Taisui himself, then realizing it was all a dream. It may be worth noting that despite her comically strange scenario, she is considered by Soku communities to generally be a high tier character in this game unlike in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''.<br />

:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Meiling|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Meiling}}''<br />
One day, a mysterious crop circle appears in the gardens of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], causing widespread speculation, rumors and gossip around the Mansion.<br />
<br />
Meiling, who is responsible for taking care of the garden, claims not to be the culprit, but admits that she's been tasked by Remilia to restore the garden to its original state now that her mistress has become bored with the crop circle pattern.<br />
During her interview with [[Aya Shameimaru]], she notes she is quite worried, as she has no idea how to change the flowers back.<br />
Questioned about the crop circle's origins, Meiling vehemently denies falling asleep, so Aya goes on to talk about aliens...<br />
<br />
The culprit revealed at the end is [[Patchouli Knowledge]].<br />
<br />
;''Touhou Bougetsushou''<br />
[[File:Inaba09Meiling.png|thumb|150px|right|Meiling's appearance in ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]''.]]<br />
During the party to celebrate the completion of Remilia's Moon rocket in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', Meiling was briefly shown guarding the gates of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] as invitees walked by. Expanded on in ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', Meiling was in charge of vetting invitations. She gave a speech about how she would not let anyone through without the proper invites, but the residents of [[Eientei]] simply walked past her while she was giving it. Meiling managed to get them to show her their invites, but got bombarded by so many invites from so many [[rabbit]]s that a whole slew of people (the Eientei group included) got by. Inside the mansion, the group ran into [[Sakuya Izayoi]], causing [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] to remember how powerful Sakuya was and think about how her job of managing the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion put her on a whole new level compared to that gate guard.<br />
<br />
About two months later, in an unrelated incident, [[Eirin Yagokoro]] infiltrated the Scarlet Devil Mansion and met [[Patchouli Knowledge]] in the library. Patchouli wondered what happened to the gate guard, to which Eirin commented that she played tough, but all she needed to get past her was a "light greeting".<br />
<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
In Chapter 16 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', it appears that because [[Remilia Scarlet]] and [[Sakuya Izayoi]] were both drinking from the [[Ibaraki Box of a Hundred Medicines]] at a flowering viewing, they started to violently tease Meiling. <br />
<br />
;''Cheating Detective Satori''<br />
In the first incident of ''[[Cheating Detective Satori]]'', [[Patchouli Knowledge]] is revealed to have been non-fatally poisoned by an unknown person, leading to an investigation at the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] of who the culprit could be. Early on into the investigation, Meiling is shown standing at the gates of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. She is approached by [[Rin Kaenbyou]], who is presumably there to ask Meiling about the incident. She first asks Meiling if there were any visitors at the time of Patchouli's poisoning, to which Meiling tells her there were none. Smiling, Rin then asks Meiling if she was even watching the gate at the time, to which Meiling hesitantly responds that she was. However, Rin tells Meiling what others have told her, which is that the gate to the Scarlet Devil Mansion is usually wide open while the gate keeper is notoriously absent. Meiling appears quite nervous at this point, even more so when Rin mentions that the detective ([[Satori Komeiji]]) can read minds, so Meiling had "better just be honest" about whether or not she was watching the gate, as it will come to light at one point or another. Flustered and feeling the pressure, Meiling cracks and tells Rin that she was asleep at the time that Patchouli was poisoned.<br />
<br />
Later on in the incident, [[Sakuya Izayoi]] is accused of being the culprit of Patchouli's poisoning, and thus is locked away in the basement. Meiling visits Sakuya to bring her food and scorn her due to the amount of evidence pointing to her being the culprit. She slams and locks the basement door on Sakuya before leaving her there alone with [[Flandre Scarlet]].<br />
<br />
Sometime later in this same incident, [[Reimu Hakurei]] is flying overhead when she spots Meiling passed out on the ground. Reimu lands and approaches Meiling, who attempts to slap Meiling awake, however this does not work. Rin then approaches Reimu and the passed out Meiling on the ground. Rin briefly inspects Meiling before concluding that the symptoms Meiling is feeling are the same as Patchouli's symptoms, meaning that Meiling has also been poisoned by the unknown culprit.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Meiling has at least communicated to the entire cast of ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' and may be on friendly terms with anyone who walks nearby the gates of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]].<br />
<br />
===Residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion===<br />
;[[Remilia Scarlet]]<br />
Remilia is Meiling's mistress. Being the type of person Remilia is, she tends to tease all her subordinates, and Meiling is no exception. She does get mad at her sometimes if things don't go her way, but the two are generally on friendly terms, and in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' it's suggested that Remilia reads some of the same manga Meiling does.<br />
;[[Sakuya Izayoi]]<br />
Sakuya is a fellow employee of Meiling. Meiling's win quote against [[Sakuya Izayoi]] in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' implies a friendly, if somewhat formal, relationship between the two of them (rather than the comically abusive relationship often depicted in fan works). In those quotes, Meiling also tells Sakuya that she always goes easy on her, so it seems they do spar often. She also claims that she wouldn't go easy on the maid if it were a formal match, but it's unknown how much effort there is on Sakuya's part, or if Meiling's claims about her strength are true at all. Sakuya is also shown to care for Meiling, though is strict about her not slacking off.<br />
;[[Patchouli Knowledge]]<br />
Patchouli is the friend of her mistress, and sometimes berates her for not thinking enough and spending too much time reading senseless comics.<br />
;Fairy maids and other staff<br />
The [[fairy maid]]s assist Meiling in ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', but it's unknown what sort of authority she has over the [[fairy maid]]s in the mansion. ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' imples that youkai also join in Meiling's battles on a whim, but instead usually only point and laugh.<br />
;[[Flandre Scarlet]]<br />
Flandre is Remilia's younger sister. It's unknown what kind of relationship Meiling and Flandre have, however.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;Taisui Xingjun and the giant catfish<br />
[[Taisui Xingjun]] is Meiling's sworn enemy and the [[Giant Catfish]] is the avatar of Taisui Xingjun. They both only appeared in her dream while she was reading a manga, so any realistic communications with them is so far not shown.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Meiling became a playable character in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' through a downloadable patch, although she wasn't given a a scenario.<br />
*If Meiling loses to [[Youmu]] in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', Youmu will ask if Meiling shouldn't just use a weapon, namely a green dragon blade. This can be a source of confusion, since many would imagine the legendary [[wikipedia:Green Dragon Crescent Blade|Green Dragon Crescent Blade]] wielded by the famous Chinese general Guan Yu, but women seldom use pole arms in Chinese martial arts. In Japan, the term has become a common misnomer for the [[wikipedia:Liuyedao|liuyedao]] and other [[wikipedia:Dao (sword)|Chinese sabers]]. As Youmu admits she has only heard about them in stories, the use of her local, incorrect term is likely intentional.<br />
*One of her normal bullet attacks (along with a few of her skill cards) in ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'' resembles Krizalid's Typhoon/Tuhon Rage from ''The King of Fighters '99'', ''2000'', and ''2002: Unlimited Match''. <br />
*Meiling looks very similar to [[Orange]].<br />
*Meiling is one of the few characters to not make a cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. The reason is currently unknown.<br />
*Meiling is loosely based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bak_Mei#Historical_Bak_Mei Hong Mei] (red eyebrows), a Tai Chi grandmaster and leader of the buddhist shaolin temple where the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Elders five elders] of Kung fu are from.<br />

The always noisy Scarlet Devil Mansion. That day, it was as noisy as ever. Its gate guard had reported something to the mansion's master, Remilia Scarlet, but the master had loftily ignored her.<br />
<br />
The girl felt a vague sense of uneasiness. That morning, she had seen a giant figure. Then, it dissolved into a lukewarm mist and disappeared.<br />
<br />
Just what was that? A big shadow like a roc, and a sinister mist being produced. She was certain.<br />
<br />
It was the shadow of the Buddha of Misfortune, "[[Taisui Xingjun]]".<br />
<br />
<br />
She reported to the master of the mansion that an evil god that all youkai must join forces and fight against had finally appeared in Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
Naturally, nobody listened to her.<br />
<br />
The girl thought. In order to break up the everyday boredom with a little fun, she had intentionally exaggerated a bit.<br />

{{nihongo|'''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".<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Suwako first appeared as the extra [[boss]] of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]''. Unlike Kanako, who is technically a [[divine spirit]] who once had a human form, Suwako is one of the [[Yaoyorozu no Kami]], and thus consists purely of faith. She also controls the [[Mishaguji]], which is one of her main sources of faith from humans.<br />
<br />
When a portion of her spirit is enshrined, she takes on the form of a frog. In this form, she can grant various blessings, such as safe travel, financial upturn, and transfiguration.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
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.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Ability to create earthiness<br />
Suwako's ability specifically refers to the element of Kun ({{lang|zh|坤}}), one of the [[wikipedia:ba gua|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 "sky" of Bagua, or Qian ({{lang|zh|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.<ref>[[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Spell Cards/Suwako Moriya|Touhou Hisoutensoku: Sukawo Moriya's Spell Cards]]</ref><br />
<br />
;Iron rings<br />
Possibly because of her ability to manipulate minerals, Suwako uses large iron rings as weapons in various attacks. According to [[Hatate Himekaidou]], they are scarily sharp.<ref>[[Double Spoiler/Spell Cards/Level 11|Double Spoiler: Iron Ring "Mythical Ring"]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
It 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. <br />
<br />
It is said that Sanae is her distant descendant, although Sanae didn't even know it until the events of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
[[File:ThGKSuwako.png|thumb|left|150px|Suwako in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
The name {{nihongo|Suwako|諏訪子}} is modified from {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Lake Suwa|Lake Suwa]]|諏訪湖|Suwa-ko}}, the largest lake in Nagano prefecture. The area also features one of the world's largest geysers. Suwako's family name is probably derived from {{nihongo||洩矢神|Moreyashin|the god Moriya}}, who is said to be the first ancestor of {{nihongo|''Sanae Moriya''|守矢早苗}}, the real person who inspired [[Sanae Kochiya]]. (''Moreya'' is an archaic, alternate pronunciation of ''Moriya''.)<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
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. Originally unofficial, Suwako has been shown to wear [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZettaiRyouiki Zettai Ryouiki] in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' and ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
[[File:Th10SuwakoSprite.png|frame|Suwako's sprite in ''MoF'']]<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Extra|l1=Reimu Arc|Mountain of Faith/Story/Marisa's Extra|l2=Marisa Arc}}<br />
Reimu and Marisa hear rumors about a second god residing in the Moriya Shrine. Both heroines set out for the shrine to confirm the rumor when they meet Suwako. Suwako explains that the Moriya Shrine was originally solely hers and that she's the one who administers divine blessings/curses whereas Kanako tends to act as the face of the shrine. She also reveals that Kanako was the god who moved the shrine to Gensokyo. After subjecting the heroines to a "danmaku festival" and being impressed by their skills, she decides to stay in Gensokyo. <br />
<br />
;''Subterranean Animism''<br />
In Subterranean Animism, Suwako appeared in [[Subterranean Animism/Translation/Reimu and Yukari's Extra|Reimu and Yukari's Scenario]] as well as [[Subterranean Animism/Translation/Reimu and Aya's Extra|Reimu and Aya's Scenario]], revealing an industrial revolution project by [[Kanako Yasaka|Kanako]] that caused Reimu to get mad for being sent to the Hell of Blazing Fires.<br />
<br />
;''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''<br />
Suwako makes another appearance in [[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]], this time in Sanae's ending if you have lost a life playing Legacy Mode. Suwako arrives while Kanako was training Sanae to become better at danmaku dodging, saying that she has found a conclusion for the analysis she has done with the [[Ultramarine Orb Elixir]]. Suwako declares the elixir to be dangerous to a native god like her since it also had the effect of purifying the past. Apparently, if Sanae were to take it, it would leave her a "pure human".<br />
<br />
===Spin-off games===<br />
;''Touhou Hisoutensoku''<br />
:{{Main|Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Sanae's Scenario#Stage Final|l1=Sanae Arc}}<br />
In ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'', Suwako was the final [[boss]] of [[Sanae Kochiya]]'s scenario, but also as an aid for Sanae to attack her opponent (including herself). She was aware of the true nature of the vanishing giant seen roaming around Gensokyo, that being [[Hisoutensoku]] and was confronted by Sanae over this and other secretive actions Suwako was involved in. She is also a playable character in arcade and versus modes. Despite the last stage status and having a diverse set of attacks, she is regarded as a bottom-tier character in essentially every Soku tier listing.<br />
<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Suwako appeared as a [[stage]] 11 target, where she uses a few [[spell card]]s and had [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] take photos of her and her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />

Suwako made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Genbu Ravine]] and [[Youkai Tanuki Forest]] stage. She is seen standing next to [[Sanae Kochiya]] hopping.<br />
<br />
;''Impossible Spell Card''<br />
:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}<br />
After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], she becomes one of the many strong beings to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]]. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
Suwako is interrogated by [[Kasen Ibara]] after she suspected to be involved in the construction of the dam at the foot of [[Youkai Mountain]]. Suwako confirms her suspicions, saying that the landslide is artificial and its true use is to create an artificial lake needed for another base for the [[Moriya Shrine]]. However, the incompetence of the kappas obligated the cancellation of the project.<ref> Chapter 4 [[Wild and Horned Hermit]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Kanako Yasaka]]<br />
While Suwako claims to still hold a grudge against Kanako for taking over her shrine, her own faith actually increased as a result. By now they've become good friends.<br />
<br />
;[[Sanae Kochiya]] <br />
Sanae acts as a wind priestess under Suwako and is able to summon her. Sanae is also Suwako's descendant, though Sanae was initially unaware of the fact.<br />
<br />
;[[Utsuho Reiuji]]<br />
She was presumably present when Kanako presented the Yatagarasu to Utsuho.<br />
<br />
;[[Mishaguji]]<br />
Suwako was the one who tamed the Mishaguji, and she's the only one who can control them.<br />
<br />
;[[Hisoutensoku]]<br />
It's implied that Suwako was involved in Hisoutensoku's construction.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
[[File:GoMIllus-Suwako.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Suwako, as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'']]<br />
*[[Kanako Yasaka]] and Suwako are described in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Chapter 6 as gods that have a body. Having a body is likely why they can move and act so independently as opposed to gods who need a vessel, although they are still capable of splitting their spirit when summoned and called upon like all Japanese gods.<br />
*Chapter 19 of ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' implies that the [[Lunarians]] are using shimenawa to seal away a god at the [[Moriya Shrine]]. It's unknown if Suwako is aware of this. Her win quote to [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' merely has her commenting, "I heard that there are all kinds of gods where you come from."<br />
*Suwako's strongest [[spell card]] in ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'' resembles the ultimate attack of [[wikipedia:Akuma (Street Fighter|Akuma]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Fighter]]'', the [http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/Shun_Goku_Satsu Shun Goku Satsu].<br />
*In ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'', one of her palettes is a homage to [[Hina Kagiyama]]. She also seems to have another alternate color palettes that resembles the fan-made character [[Fan-made characters/Maybell|Maybell]].<br />
*The frogs printed on Suwako's dress were taken from [[Wikipedia:Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga|Chōjū-giga]], the picture scrolls drawn in 12th century.<br />
*Suwako's theme "Native Faith" is an homage to "Boss6", the BGM used in an STG released by [[Wikipedia:Taito Corporation|Taito]] in 1989, {{nihongo|''Night Striker''|ナイトストライカー}}.<br />
*Suwako does not have any actual connection to frogs, but she likes frogs and her spirit is sometimes invoked in the form of a frog.<br />

<br />
洩矢 諏訪子(もりや すわこ)<br />
<br />
Moriya Suwako<br />
<br />
<br />
種族:神様<br />
<br />
能力:坤を創造する程度の能力<br />
<br />
<br />
守矢の神社に住む本当の神様。<br />
<br />
山の神様であり、山に住んでいた様々な神様のリーダーでもあった。<br />
<br />
<br />
遙か古代、彼女は驚異的な信仰心を得ていた『ミシャグジ様』を束ねていた神だった。<br />
<br />
ミシャグジ様とは、生誕、農作、軍事、様々な事柄の祟り神であり、蔑ろにするとたちどころに神罰が下るという恐怖の神様である。<br />
<br />
その神様をコントロールできたのが諏訪子だけであった。<br />
<br />
その為、彼女への信仰心は凄まじく、当時は神であると同時に一国の王として王国を築いていた。<br />
<br />
<br />
だが、そんな彼女の王国の元に大和の神々が侵略してきたのである。<br />
<br />
王国を訪れた大和の神とは、神奈子であった。<br />
<br />
大和の神々は、小さな王国を次々と自分の物にしていった。最終的に全ての国を統一し、日本という一つの国にするつもりであると言った。<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
勿論、諏訪子は抵抗し当時最先端であった鉄製の武器を持って戦った。<br />
<br />
しかし、神奈子は細い植物の蔓をかざすと、諏訪子が持っていた大量の鉄の輪は、たちまち錆びてボロボロになってしまった。その神力の差に敗北を確信した諏訪子は、潔く降参し王国を明け渡した。<br />
<br />
<br />
そして、神奈子は洩矢の王国を手に入れたのだ。<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、洩矢の王国の人間は、土着の神であったミシャグジ様の恐怖を忘れることが出来ず、新しい神様を受け入れようとしなかった。<br />
<br />
<br />
神奈子は信仰心が得られないのならと、この王国を自分の物にするのは諦めた。代わりに新しい神様を呼び洩矢の神と融合させて、その神様を王国の中では『守矢(もりや)』、外では別の呼び名で呼び分ける事にした。これにより王国を支配しているように見せたのだ。<br />
<br />
守矢とは勿論、洩矢の事である。そして神奈子は、諏訪子の力を借りて自ら山の神様としてこっそり君臨する事になった。<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
この王国を支配したと言われる新しい神様とは、大和の神話の名目を保たせる為の名前だけの神であった。実際は、諏訪子が引き続き王国を支配していたのである。現在外の世界の神様は殆どが大和神話に置き換わったというのに、彼女は未だ古代の姿のままひっそりと信仰を得ていた。<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
しかしながら、その長きに渡って得続けた信仰も、科学の時代となるとどんどんと失われていった。<br />
<br />
<br />
諏訪子はさほど気にしていなかったのだが、焦った神奈子は神社ごと幻想郷に持ってくるという荒技を実行してしまった。<br />
<br />
<br />
諏訪子が幻想郷で上手くやっていけるのか判らなかったが、最後の遊びとして楽しむ事にした。何故、勝手に王国を捨て、幻想郷にやってきた神奈子と揉めなかったのかというと、もう外の世界には未練が無<br />
かったからである。自分の名前を知っている人間は殆ど居なかった。<br />
<br />
<br />
何せ、最も近い人間であるはずの早苗ですら、諏訪子の事をよく判っていないのだ。<br />
<br />
<br />
早苗は今では神奈子の巫女であるが、奇跡を呼ぶ事が出来るのは彼女が実は、諏訪子の遠い子孫だからである。<br />
<br />
にもかかわらず、早苗は何故自分の神社に二人の神様がいるのかですらよく判っていないという有様だ。<br />
<br />
<br />
もはや、諏訪子は忘れ去られようが何だろうが構わなかった。むしろ幻想郷で第二の人生を送る事が出来そうで、実際は神奈子に感謝している。<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
さて、神奈子は風の神でありながら、何故蛇を模したしめ縄をトレードマークにしたのだろうか?<br />
<br />
<br />
その理由は二つある。<br />
<br />
<br />
一つは、蛇が再生の意味を持っていたから。ミシャグジ様の恐怖に対抗する為だ。<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
そして、もう一つは……。<br />
<br />
諏訪子に勝った事をさり気なくアピールする為だった。<br />
<br />
<br />
なんでかって?<br />
<br />
諏訪子は蛙の姿をした神であり、そして蛇は蛙を食べる動物だからである。<br />
<br />
新しい王国の神事にも、蛙を生け贄にする事などを盛り込み、人間に『この王国は蛙に代わって蛇が支配した』とアピールし続けた。<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
これが、諏訪子と神奈子がよく喧嘩する原因の一つだった。<br />
<br />
<br />
本当は利害も一致しているし、凄く仲がよい。<br />
| translation = '''Extra Boss The Highest of Native Gods'''<br/><br />
<!-- "Top of Native Gods" may sounds strange. However "土着神の頂点" is originally strange, because the term "頂点" (top/peak/summit) is not usually used in this way even in Japanese. ZUN prefers strange use of terms like this. --><br />
'''Suwako Moriya'''<br />
<br />
Species: God<br/><br />
Ability: Creating earth<br />
<br />
The true god of the Shrine of Moriya(守矢).<br />
She is the God of Mountains, and was once the leader of the many gods that lived in the Mountains.<br />
<br />
During ancient times, she was a god in control of "Mishaguji".<br />
Mishaguji were curse gods who had obtained enormous amounts of faith, cursing birth, harvest, military, and many other things. Making light of these fearsome gods would lead to divine punishment. The only one able to tame these gods was Suwako. Because of this, she gained an extraordinary amount of faith, and cultivated a kingdom as its ruler while still being a god.<br />
<br />
However, many other gods of Yamato (ancient Japan) invaded her kingdom. One of those gods was [[Kanako Yasaka|Kanako]]. The many gods of Yamato continually conquered the small kingdom for themselves. They said that ultimately, they would unify all countries and create a single country called Japan.<br />
<br />
Naturally, Suwako resisted and fought with the finest iron weapons of the time. However, Kanako held out a thin vine, and Suwako's large iron arsenal instantly rusted. Suwako realized the difference in their divine powers and her defeat. She valiantly forfeited and relinquished her kingdom.<br />
<br />
And so, Kanako attained the kingdom of Moriya(洩矢).<br />
<br />
However, the people of Moriya(洩矢) could not forget the fear of their native gods, Mishaguji, and were unable to accept their new god.<br />
<br />
Kanako thought she could not gain the faith of the people, and gave up on making the kingdom hers. Instead, she called forth a new god and combined it with Moriya's(洩矢) god. Within the kingdom, this new god was called Moriya(守矢), but was called by a different name outside of the kingdom. This way, it seemed as if it was ruling the kingdom. Moriya(守矢) is, of course, Moriya(洩矢). And thus Kanako borrowed Suwako's powers, and silently ruled as the God of Mountains.<br />
<br />
The new god that was said to have reigned over the kingdom was a god only in name, existing only to preserve the legend of Yamato. In reality, Suwako continued to rule over the kingdom. Although the gods of the modern world have mostly been replaced by the Yamato Legends, she is still in her original form discreetly gathering faith.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, the faith she has gathered throughout the eras is slowly fading with the introduction of the era of science.<br />
<br />
Suwako didn't mind so much, but Kanako panicked and moved the whole [[Moriya Shrine|shrine]] to [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
Suwako didn't know how well she could get by in Gensokyo, but she decided to enjoy it as her final amusement. The reason she didn't argue with Kanako for deserting the kingdom and coming to Gensokyo was because she had no regrets left in the outer world. There were few people that knew her name.<br />
<br />
After all, even the closest human to Suwako, [[Sanae Kochiya|Sanae]], doesn't know much about her.<br />
<br />
Sanae is currently Kanako's [[Shrine Maiden]], but the reason she can create miracles is because she is Suwako's distant descendant. Despite this, she does not seem to understand why there are two gods within her own shrine.<br />
<br />
Suwako didn't care whether or not she was fated to be forgotten anymore. She's actually thankful to Kanako as it seems she'll be able to enjoy a second life in Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, Kanako is the God of wind, but why is a snake-patterned rope her trademark?<br />
<br />
There are two reasons.<br />
<br />
The first is because the snake symbolizes reincarnation. It was to oppose the fear of Mishaguji.<br />
<br />
<br />
And the second reason is because... She wanted to casually stress the fact that she won against Suwako.<br />
<br />
Why, you ask?<br />
Suwako is a god that takes the form of a frog, and snakes eat frogs. Rituals of the new kingdom included sacrificing frogs to state that "The Snake now rules this kingdom in place of the Frog."<br />
<br />
<br />
This is one reason why Suwako and Kanako argue a lot.<br />
<br />
They share common interests and are actually very good friends.<br />

Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya.<br /><br />
They are the gods that recently moved their shrine to the top of the Youkai Mountain.<br />
<br />
They are the start of this story.<br />
<br />
——The Kappas' Energy Revolution<br />
<br />
The plan by this name has safely concluded its first phase and is on its way towards practical implementation.<br />
<br />
The plan involved using the now-dormant [[Remains of Blazing Hell|Blazing Hell]] as a super-high temperature furnace in an attempt to tame a power that it is said the [[outside world]] won't attain for hundreds of years: nuclear fusion energy.<br />
<br />
The first step was to find an exemplary hell raven.<br /><br />
Then, to bestow upon it the personification of the sun, Yatagarasu.<br /><br />
Then, to rekindle the flames of the Remains of Blazing Hell.<br /><br />
Then, to tame the crow.<br />
<br />
The geyser was proof of the plan's success.<br />
<br />
Unlike fission energy, fusion reactions are less likely to go out of control. In addition, it doesn't create such lethal waste.<br /><br />
So, because it is very safe and produces massive amounts of energy, it is an almost dream-like energy production method.<br />
<br />
Kanako seems to treat this as just one part of the shrine's operations.<br />
<br />
Because they didn't feel the plan was dangerous, the above-ground [[youkai]] did nothing to stop it even once they found out the truth.<br />
<br />
However, Reimu, who was made to go underground,<br /><br />
confronted them and said angrily,<br /><br />
"Next time, tell everyone about it before you start!"<br />

{{nihongo|'''Tewi Inaba'''|因幡 てゐ|Inaba Tewi}} is the leader of the many [[youkai]] [[rabbit]]s 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.<ref>Nicopedia - [http://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/因幡てゐ Tewi Inaba] (Retrieved 2012 March 23 at 00:41)</ref> Despite her childish appearance, she is very old (at least 1,300 years old). If she really was the [[Wikipedia:Hare of Inaba|White Rabbit of Inaba]], then this would make her one of the oldest characters in the ''[[Touhou Project]]''. <br />
<br />
Tewi is a very lighthearted and playful youkai, and is known to lie at times. In ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'', she even tries to swindle [[Aya Shameimaru]] out of some pocket change.<br />

==Backstory==<br />
[[File:InabaoftheMoonandInabaoftheEarthTewi.png|thumb|120px|left|Tewi referencing the [[Wikipedia:Hare of Inaba|White Rabbit of Inaba]] on the back of ''[[IoM&IoE]]'']]<br />
After taking good care of her health and living for a long time, Tewi Inaba became a [[youkai]] [[rabbit]]. She had become known as [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Tewi Inaba|the Rabbit of Good Fortune]] amongst humans, for the good luck she brought them. She is more than 3,000 years old (inferred from a statement she made in Chapter 18 of ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' where she said she knew [[Lord Daikoku]] (also known as Ookuninushi) personally and was confident that he made better medicine than even that which [[Eirin Yagokoro]] was preparing). It's possible that she's the [[wikipedia:Hare of Inaba|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).<br />
<br />
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/First_Chapter|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.<br />
<br />
Eirin and Tewi made a deal. Tewi would protect [[Eientei]] from [[human]]s, and in return, Eirin would spread her knowledge to the rabbits. Perhaps this was so the [[beast]]s could keep up with the [[youkai]], [[Youkai Mountain]], [[human]]s, and (later) [[vampire]]s in [[Gensokyo]]'s delicate power balance in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Vampire|Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.<br />
<br />
Tewi abides by that deal to this day, when she isn't playing pranks on [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] or scamming Gensokyo's general populace, at least.<br />

Additionally, the legend of the {{nihongo|"[[Wikipedia:Hare of Inaba|White Rabbit of Inaba]]"|因幡の白兎|Inaba no Shirousagi|a.k.a "The Hare of Inaba" in English}} is a story with which Tewi is frequently associated, and may well be the source of her name.<br />
<br />
The {{nihongo|''[[Wikipedia:Wi (kana)|wi]]''|ゐ}} in ''Tewi'' is an archaic kana that was struck from the syllabry with the post-WWII orthographic reforms. In Modern Japanese, {{nihongo||ゐ|wi}} is fully homophonous with {{nihongo||い|i}}, meaning that the ''w'' in the romaji is silent. Officially, her name is romanized as ''Tewi'' in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', but as ''Tei'' in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'', ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' and the data files for ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
At her debut in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', she has dark red eyes, black shoulder-length hair, and fluffy white [[rabbit]] ears, and goes barefoot in a frilly pink-white nightgown. In her playable appearance in ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'', white socks and a carrot necklace are added to this outfit. Her alternative outfit in that game gives her a black nightgown in place of her white one.<br />

Tewi dashed out to enjoy the flowers blooming. She forgot to tell anyone where she was going, causing [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] to go after her.<br />
<br />
;[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]<br />
Tewi Inaba makes another appearance in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, but only in Reimu's Pointdevice/No-Death Clear ending. After Reimu leaves Eientei unsatisfied with the conversation she had with [[Eirin Yagokoro]], Tewi appears to her in the Bamboo Forest and asks the shrine maiden questions related to the [[lunarian]]s. Tewi also states her reason for asking was for reference;she wanted to know the lunarians' weak points and she had some "business" to do with them. Reimu didn't know what Tewi was planning, but she knew that the earth rabbit was going to get beaten up by the lunarians or manipulate them using lucrative words, so she was interested, but at the same time, she didn't care because she had done enough business with the lunarians herself.<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Shoot the Bullet''<br />
[[File:Th095TewiSprite.png|frame|Tewi's sprite in ''StB'']]<br />
In ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] encountered Tewi on [[stage]] 4 and took photos of her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Tewi.png|frame|Tewi in ''HM'']]<br />
Tewi made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Human Village]] stage. She is seen sitting on a bench with [[Eirin Yagokoro]], [[Kaguya Houraisan]] and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] cheering and drinking alcohol.<br />
<br />
;''Urban Legend in Limbo''<br />
Tewi makes a cameo in the PlayStation 4 version of ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' where she pushes Reisen to the stage on her special animation.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]<br />
Tewi mainly watched the events on the sidelines while managing the earth rabbits pounding mochi for the Monthly Lunar Festival. Eirin's handling of the situation impressed the rabbit. When Eirin indicated she had realized who the true [[Yukari|culprit]] behind the unrest was, Tewi mocked how those earth youkai were trying to invade the Moon again even though they already failed before, and said she was glad she sided with Eirin and the Lunarians that had come to Eientei.<br />
<br />
At the end, the culprit, [[Yukari Yakumo]], was captured by [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]], in part thanks to Eirin's intervention. Yukari and [[Ran Yakumo]] were held under arrest by Toyohime, who told them they would make excellent souvenirs on the moon.<br />
<br />
The two youkai were tied up with femtofiber fabric, which the Lunarians have always used to bind the impure. As Toyohime explained what femtofiber fabric was, Yukari realized that it was the same as shimenawa rope. Yukari mocked Toyohime's claims of sealing away the impure using shimenawa, pointing out that the Lunarians even sealed away native gods as well. Toyohime was slightly stunned, but clarified, saying that shimenawa were used to seal those who defy the moon. Confused, Ran asked Yukari what she was talking about, causing the boundary youkai to explain that Lunarians first used shimenawa to prevent the sun goddess Amaterasu from returning to the cave she used to hide in, and since then, Lunarians have used the fabric to limit the movements of the impure. Toyohime agreed, saying that this kept the Lunar Capital safe. At that point, Yukari angrily added that shimenawa wasn't used just to seal the impure, but gods as well. As an example, she told Ran that Lord Daikoku was sealed away long ago at his shrine because the heavenly gods, implied to be the Lunarians, feared him after taking his lands. Ran was shocked that Lord Daikoku was sealed away, and remarked that he was the god that the rabbits were always singing about. As proof of her accusation, Yukari pointed out that the shimenawa at Lord Daikoku's shrine in Izumo were too thick to merely seal away something impure, leaving Toyohime speechless. Yukari, now smiling, smugly pointed out that there was shimenawa at the [[Moriya Shrine]] as well, which must have been used to seal away one of Daikoku's sons, Take-Minakata. Ran then realized that must have been why the shimenawa there was so thick.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for Toyohime, [[Reisen]] interrupted to tell her the other invaders at the moon had been defeated, and [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] needed Toyohime to send them away. Toyohime smiled and prepared to return to the moon, but Reisen was ordered to deliver one last letter to Eientei.<br />
<br />
At Eientei, rabbits were pounding mochi in Lord Daikoku's name for the latest Monthly Lunar Festival. Reisen arrived, causing them to pause. Tewi wondered what was going on, and Reisen nervously explained and handed her the letter before leaving. After Reisen was gone, Tewi realized that she must have been one of the Lunar emissaries and wondered why the residents of Eientei feared someone that pathetic in the first place. She then proclaimed to the other rabbits that the Lunar emissary was nothing compared to Lord Daikoku, causing them all to laugh, apparently ignorant of what had become of him.<br />

==Relationships==<br />
===[[Kaguya Houraisan]]===<br />
<br />
===[[Eirin Yagokoro]]===<br />
Tewi made a deal with Eirin to defend Eientei in exchange for Eirin imparting her knowledge to the rabbits. Thus Eirin is an ally, employer and teacher to Tewi and Tewi appropriately addresses her as Master. Eirin realizes Tewi's importance to Eientei due to her control over the rabbits and despite Tewi's pranks, knows that Tewi is there whenever they really need her, should the circumstance arise.<ref>[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]: [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter|First Chapter]] — "She'd be beside you before you know it, and she'd disappear just as quickly. Still, she'd always be around when you really needed her."</ref>.<br />
<br />
===[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]===<br />
Reisen is Tewi's fellow youkai rabbit serving under Eirin, like Tewi. Unlike the earth rabbits, Reisen acts as Tewi's superior, ordering Tewi around and being in charge of looking after her. It is, however, completely up to Tewi herself whether she listens to Reisen or not. Around Eientei, Reisen also tends to be the unfortunate primary recipient of Tewi's pranks.<br />
<br />
===Gensokyo's youkai [[rabbit]]s===<br />
All of Gensokyo's youkai rabbits (from Earth, not the Moon) obey Tewi. This is either a sign or a result of Tewi's enlightenment and power. Tewi knows every single youkai rabbit currently in Gensokyo, although this does not stem from the psychic connection that rabbits have. If a new youkai rabbit hypothetically came into being, Tewi would not automatically know about it, although youkai birth rates are so low that Tewi would probably find out very fast.<ref>[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]: [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter|First Chapter]] — "There aren't any youkai rabbits that Tewi doesn't know." "Would it be so strange to think that one youkai rabbit nobody knows could show up?" "That cannot possibly be true. It's much harder for a new youkai to be born than it is for a human." "It's true that Tewi knows all the youkai rabbits. If Tewi says none of them were hurt, the youkai rabbit at the shrine must be a fake."</ref><br />

[[File:InabaoftheMoonandInabaoftheEarthTewiPillagingMode.png|thumb|120px|right|Tewi's pillaging mode in Chapter 22 of ''[[IoM&IoE]]'']]<br />
*It is said that ordinary animals who live a long time may develop profound magical abilities. Tewi is one of them.<br />
*She seems to be something of a prankster, as shown in ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'' and even ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]''. <br />
*In ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' chapter 12, Tewi is shown with sunglasses and holding a cigarette while selling colored rabbits during a [[Hakurei Shrine]] festival. This is a call out reference to chapter 22 of ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'', where she is seen carrying a machine gun and wearing sunglasses and a mask. ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'' also shows that those colored rabbits were a scam (they're just painted).<br />
*She is shown to be fond of beer in the stage backgrounds of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', which may be a call out reference to ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth''.<br />
*Tewi is the only original [[Boss|midboss]] character to become a fully playable character.<br />

'''Stage 5 Midboss, Rabbit of the Earth'''<br /><br />
'''Tewi Inaba'''<br />
<br />
Species: [[Youkai]] [[Rabbit]]<br /><br />
Abilities: Conferring good luck to humans<br />
<br />
After taking good care of her health and living for a long time, Tewi has the power equivalent to that of a youkai. She leads the Earthborn rabbits living in [[Eientei]]. Her impetuous temperament makes her seem more like a fairy than a youkai.<br />
<br />
[[Human]]s who lose their way in the bamboo forest around Eientei sometimes catch a glimpse of Tewi. Those who see her are able to find their way out without fail, so she is considered a guide of the forest.<br />
<br />
It's a shame that they waste the fortune given to them by Tewi on such a small thing, but humans are too clueless to notice their mistake.<br />

I have a busy schedule most of the year so the majority of my contributions to this wiki will probably be during my breaks from school.</div>Kayleehttps://en.touhouwiki.net/index.php?title=Talk:Sunken_Fossil_World&diff=436612Talk:Sunken Fossil World2021-11-23T22:26:06Z<p>Kaylee: THCrap released a statement on Twitter saying that most of the game is English patched, but some things are still being worked on. I am wondering if their English patch should be listed on the full page for the game at this time or if it should wait.</p>
<hr />
<div>==New English patch by THCrap mostly done, but still being worked on==<br />
So, this was just tweeted out a few days ago by THCrap on twitter: [https://twitter.com/thpatch/status/1462498404664287245?s=20 "New thcrap version, incl. support for Touhou 17.5 full version. Some things aren't translatable yet, and only English and Japanese characters are working for now. A huge part of the story-mode dialogues are already translated in English."] So it appears as though most of the game has been English patched, but certain things are still being worked on. Because of that, I'm wondering if the English patch THCrap provides should be listed on the page for Touhou Gouyoku Ibun at this time? Or should we wait for more of the game to be patched before listing the patch link on the page? I'm relatively new to editing this wiki so I'm not sure if still-being-worked-on patches should be listed for the game.

== English naming ==<br />
<br />
Name is currently "Touhou Gouyoku Ibun", using Soku as naming precedence. If you have a better idea for it please post here, thanks! [[User:Mami|Mami]] ([[User talk:Mami|talk]]) 20:49, 18 October 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think that this is definitely worth discussing. I took some time to reread the discussion concerning the "Unthinkable Natural Law" incident, but if we really wanted to avoid calling it "Touhou Gouyoku Ibun", we probably could call it "Strange Tale of Avarice", right? That would also put it in line with Fairy Wars. [[User:Code Slasher|Code Slasher]] ([[User talk:Code Slasher|talk]]) 03:11, 20 October 2019 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Fairy Wars comes from the in-game HUD displaying the title as "touhou sangetsusei" on the topleft and "fairy wars" on the bottomright. Has nothing to do with our translation preferences. -- [[User:Mddass|Mddass]] ([[User talk:Mddass|talk]]) 04:18, 23 October 2019 (UTC)<br />

Mei and Mai have a nonsensical feeling associated with them, and thus their speech is often fragmented. Since they perform actions without thinking of before-and-after consequences, they like to come plunging in with speed.<br />
<br />
===Machinery===<br />
Mei's aircraft is smaller than Mai's and it uses lasers. Among gameplay, the timing of the rapid-firing lasers seems to be a little fast. Mai's aircraft is larger than Mei's, and it does body slams. She performs [[wikipedia:Kamikaze|kamikaze]] attacks without treating her aircraft as an important thing, so when she hits, her aircraft becomes worn out.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'' Mei and Mai have the speed-oriented-type vessel "Maelstrom", which can split into two.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
===Name===<br />
Theirs names are ''Mei'' and ''Mai''. {{nihongo|''Mei''|めい}} could mean "niece" and {{nihongo|''Mai''|まい}} could mean "dance", although there's more meanings to these two readings; they're likely to just be ordinary Japanese given names. Mai has exactly the same name as [[Mai]] from the ''[[Touhou Project]]'', except [[Seihou Project|Seihou]]'s Mai uses [[wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]] and Mai from Touhou uses [[wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]]. <br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
There are two images of Mei and Mai in the information box left from ''[[Banshiryuu]]''. The girl on the left is Mei and the girl on the right is Mai.<br />
<br />
;Mei:Mei's design in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' shows that she has dark blue eyes and green hair with a ponytail (with a white ribbon) to armpit-length. She wears black loose clothing with short sleeves and a short necklace. In ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'' she has a pink ribbon tied in her hair instead, her ponytail is neck-length and has long sleeves. In her cut-in, she possesses a scythe.<br />
<br />
:In ''[[Banshiryuu]]'', her hair is tied into a short ponytail which has grown to shoulder-length, has a yellow ribbon to hold her hair and has what appears to be white fur around the top and bottom of her dress. She possesses a purple box with a "?" written on it. It appears somewhat similar to the [http://www.mariowiki.com/Question%20Block question block] from the [http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_series Mario Series].<br />
<br />
;Mai:Mai's design in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'' shows that she has dark blue eyes and has green hair with twin pigtails. She wears loose black clothing that resembles a schoolgirl's outfit with shorter sleeves. In ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]'', two pink ribbons are used to tie her hair and she now has long sleeves, and in ''[[Banshiryuu]]'' she has long yellow ribbons. Also in ''Banshiryuu'', she possesses a thorned ball, has black shoes and has what appears to be white fur around the top and bottom of her dress.<br />

==Story==<br />
[[File:Mei2|thumb|200px|Mei & Mai in ''SSG'']]<br />
;''Shuusou Gyoku''<br />
:{{Main|Shuusou Gyoku/Story/Main Scenario|l1=Shuusou Gyoku Story}}<br />
In ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', in order to live, they undertook a request by the [[Cactus Company]] (an investigation of what is called the "[[Seihou World#Other Dimension|Other Dimension]]"). Both were sent as a pair to assassinate VIVIT, but were easily defeated.<br />
<br />
;''Banshiryuu''<br />
In the Extra Stage, Mei and Mai appear over a city in their aircrafts and appear as one of the many "evil beings". Their only expression is "I don't like you", or expressing hatred towards [[Gyoku]].<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
Mei and Mai are twin sisters. Due to the sensitivity of their single-digit ages, they fight with their breaths tightly matched in a careful play of good teamwork. They keep the alternatives of kamikaze attacks and lasers up their sleeves.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;Muse<br />
A relation with [[Muse]] is unclear. In the music comments of ''[[Banshiryuu]]'', it was stated that Mei and Mai "don't have any direct relation to Muse".<br />
<br />
;Gyoku<br />
Mei and Mai simply hate [[Gyoku]]. For why they do is unknown.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Koakuma'''|小悪魔|Koakuma}} is a [[devil]] where she's seen around the library of [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] where she apparently lives in the mansion. Her exact role is difficult to tell, but she is believed to be an assistant in [[Patchouli Knowledge]]'s library. Her sole game appearance is as the fourth stage midboss of ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', and little is known about her.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
===Occupation===<br />
In the cameo of ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', she's seen cooking and flipping [[Wikipedia:Okonomiyaki|Okonomiyaki]] at a beach stand that's also selling ramen and [[wikipedia:Yakisoba|Yakisoba]] in the middle of what appears to be rows of books in a library. Tying into ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', the location of this stand was the swimming pool at Patchouli's library (Remilia's "Indoor Sea"). In chapter 14 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', she appears to be serving Patchouli in the library.<br />

===Name===<br />
Koakuma has no official name; this was confirmed by [[ZUN]] very early on. The commonly used name in the fanbase is {{nihongo|''Koakuma''|小悪魔}}, meaning "Little Devil" or "[[wiktionary:imp|Imp]]". ZUN used this term in an [[ZUN%27s_reply_to_messages_on_the_former_Gensou_Bulletin_Board_1|answer of the response to the question from the fans]], while again stating at the same time that she was unnamed, though he did have rough sketches for a face sprite as well as plans to give her spell cards.<ref>[[ZUN's reply to messages on the former Gensou Bulletin Board 1]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
The sprite of Koakuma in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' shows that she wears a black dress with white sleeves. She has a small pair of black, bat-like wings on the sides of her head and long red hair.<br />
<br />
In a cameo appearance in ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'' Chapter 23, she's depicted with two pairs of black wings, one on her head and one on her back. In ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'' Chapter 14, she once again has black wings on both her head and her back. She also has short hair rather than long.<br />
