{{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 subsequent 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]]''. 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 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><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 />
===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 />
==Ability and 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. ''[[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. Whether she actually needs her broom to fly or if it's just for show is unconfirmed. In ''Great Fairy Wars'', her broom is nowhere in sight; it's possible that [[Makoto Hirasaka]] might've simply chosen not to draw it. She was, however, seen with one in [[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Kakashi Spirit News 4|her article with Cirno]] in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' about this fight.<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'' againt [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] in [[Silent Sinner in Blue]], she moved some meters away from the first laser fast enough that she was able to shot 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 challanger 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 />
==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 vary slightly between games and print works, such as having differently colored hat bows, varying hair length and style, and different aprons. In ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', she wears a white full apron with 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 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.<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. Her clothes are black in Mystic Square.<br />
<br />

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 />

[[File:SSiBArtWallpaper1.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa, in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]] In many of the print works, such as [[Silent Sinner in Blue]], [[Wild and Horned Hermit]], [[Forbidden Scrollery]], and others, Reimu and Marisa are practically inseparable, with Marisa frequently sleeping over at the Hakurei Shrine, and the pair of them eating meals, investigating incidents, throwing parties, and engaging in many of the routines of daily life together. Although it was originally Reimu's job to solely handle incidents involving youkai and the [[Human Village]], Marisa has taken on many of the responsibilities as well, especially in recent years.<br />
<br />
They met in [[Story of Eastern Wonderland]], and Marisa seemed to immediately take an interest in Reimu, helping her train in the bad endings. Throughout the rest of the [[PC-98]] era, Marisa often hangs around the [[Hakurei Shrine]], much like she does in the Windows era. In the [[Lotus Land Story]] ending, the pair of them dressed in their nicest clothes and appeared to go on a date together.<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 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>. While Marisa used to cause incidents herself,<ref name="SGZUN" /> she has almost entirely abandoned her antagonistic role and become 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 love-hate relationship 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, and is comfortable enough with Marisa that in ''Imperishable Night''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> bad ending, she has no qualms with sleeping over at Marisa's house beside her. <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. Additionally, Marisa has copied one of Patchouli's attacks and named it ''Love Sign "Non-Directional Laser"''. <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 />
{{multiple image<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 />
<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]]''. There's been no depiction where the [[Youkai Mountain]] has ever been a victim of her robbery. 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. 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 affectionate towards Marisa, and now see her as their "guardian" of sorts.<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 />

==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 fighters, ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' and ''[[Violet Detector]]''.<br />
*Marisa is second most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games before Reimu. This is because the two appeared in every game, but Marisa didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and ''[[Gold Rush]]'', which Reimu did. Various exceptions would show to change these statistics such as ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', 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 musics (excluding remixes), making her the character with the most theme songs.<br />
*Including spin-off games and ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', Marisa has appeared as an EX [[boss]] two times more than any other EX boss.<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]], she believes that 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 did express interest in immortality and eternal youth.<br />
*Marisa may be somewhat of a mathematical genius; in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' she utters the line "I could recite all the digits in pi before I got there." However, considering that pi has a literally infinite number of digits which never end or repeat in any pattern, it's likely just an expression to say "at this rate I'll never get there."<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 />
*Marisa often refers to herself as "just an ordinary magician". This is often her character title in the games (i.e. ''[[Imperishable Night]]''). Deneb the witch of the Ogre Battle games refers to herself in a similar, yet opposite manner: "I am a witch, but not just an ordinary witch!" She appears to make a reference to this in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s third [[stage]], when questioning whether or not Alice is an ordinary human.<br />
*Marisa has showed up saying "shoot and I'll move!!" in ''Shuusou Gyoku'' and ''Imperishable Night''. This may be a reference to the Italian 1958 film ''[[wikipedia:Move and I'll Shoot|Move and I'll Shoot]]'', to which Marisa first says this instead in the latter game.<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 />

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

She's an ordinary girl, even though she's a magician. Her personality is somewhat self-confident, but she has enough power to support her confidence too.<br />
<br />
She's very intelligent, and is looking for power, but is still a child. What she does in her daily life is unknown.<br />
<br />
She looks even younger than [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]], but their ages are very close.<br />
<br />
I think they both are a bit off from average...<br />

She's an ordinary girl, even though she's a magician. Her personality is somewhat self-confident, but has enough power to support her confidence too.<br />
<br />
She's very intelligent, and is looking for power, but is still a child. What she does in her daily life is unknown. In fact, she's a hard worker.<br />
<br />
Apparently she has different standards of behavior from [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]].<br />

<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 />

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 />

<br />
A girl who lives in isolation from other people, as is a magician's destiny. Though her wits are sharp, she generally does not make the best use of them in her daily life. As a being whom humans have left behind, she has no personal desire to meddle in their affairs. She's content doing the things she likes. Of the things she likes, [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]] is her most beloved (?)<ref>The word used here is 大好物 (daikoubutsu). Although it literally means "favorite dish/meal", it's also used to mean "favorite thing". 大好物 is seldom used describe a person. As used here it appears to be a pun on 大好き (daisuki lit. "love"/"greatly like"), calling back to the earlier line of Marisa being content with doing her 好きなこと (suki na koto lit. "liked things"). Because of ZUN's "(?)" and the rather strong connotations of 大好き when used to refer to another person, it appears the line was made to be purposefully ambiguously romantic.</ref>, so she often plays around with her. <br />
<br />
With magic her weapon, everything in life is play. <br />

This girl is also one of the protagonists. These two (Marisa and [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]]) are the heroines of the [[Touhou]] series.<br />

Marisa has a very perverse personality, and she really has a pretty bad personality. 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 />

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 />

<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 />

<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 />
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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

<br />
An ordinary magician living in Gensokyo. She also has a mania for collecting things.<br />
<br />
She seems a bit weird, but in reality she's the most straightforward. She always wears black clothing because she thinks that's what magic-users should do and because it hides dirt very well. Very straightforward.<br />
<br />
She rather likes dark, enclosed spaces.<br />

人里離れた森の中で「霧雨魔法店」という何でも屋を営む<br/>魔法使い。営むといっても実質開店休業状態だが。<br/>マジックアイテムの蒐集家で、天才肌の霊夢とは逆に地道<br/>な努力を重ねるタイプ。とはいえ、負けず嫌いで真っ直ぐな<br/>性根の彼女がそんなことを表に出すはずもない。<br />

A magician working at the Kirisame magic shop in a forest, <br/>far away from the [[human village]]. <br/>Though she works, the shop is mostly closed. <br/>A collector of magic items and a hardworking type, unlike [[Reimu]]. <br/>Even then, with her competetive and straightforward personality, <br/>she probably does not show her true self.<br />

In actuality, she doesn't believe that there are treasures in the ship. That would be too easy. She boards the ship because it seems fun to her, even if there's no treasure. She's just brimming with curiosity.<br />

If you were to call Reimu a genius, Marisa would be the hard worker, but she never shows her hard work to others.<br />

里はお祭り騒ぎだ。<br/><br />
しかし、このお祭りは何処か廃退的で刹那的な 匂いがする。<br/><br />

彼女は先回りし、宗教家達が甘い汁を吸う前に<br/><br />
自らの味方を増やす闘いに出た。<br />

特技 三度目の粉飾魔<br />
<br />
強射撃や必殺技を使うたびに星が一つずつ点灯していき、 全ての星が点灯すると一度だけ強射撃や必殺技が強化版に変化します。<br/><br />
威力の増加、範囲の拡大、無敵時間の追加など、<br/><br />
攻撃ごとに異なる性質が強化されます。<br/><br />
総じて、全ての星が点灯している魔理沙は危険です。<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 />

The {{nihongo|'''Touhou Project'''|東方Project}}, also {{nihongo|'''東方プロジェクト'''||Touhou Purojekuto}} or '''Project Shrine Maiden''', is a Japanese [[doujin]] game series that specialises in [[shoot 'em up]]s by sole [[Team Shanghai Alice]] member [[ZUN]]. Generally, it's a series of 2D (with 3D background) vertically-scrolling [[danmaku]] shooting games, that also creates related [[Official Literature|print works]] and [[music CDs]]. There are also six fighting game spinoffs co-produced with [[Twilight Frontier]], called "danmaku action games." The works of ''Touhou Project'' are sometimes called the {{nihongo|'''Touhou Series'''|東方シリーズ|Tōhō shirīzu}} for convenience.<br />
<br />
The [[wikipedia:Guinness World Records|Guinness World Records]] named the Touhou Project as the "world's most prolific fan-made shooter series."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.archive.org/web/20130424041751/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-8000/most-prolific-fan-made-shooter-series/|title=Most prolific fan-made shooter series|publisher=Guinness World Records|accessdate=22 August 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
The setting of the ''Touhou Project'' lies in a haunted region of Japan called {{nihongo|[[Gensokyo]]|幻想郷|Gensōkyō|lit. "Land of Illusions" or "Land of Fantasy"}}, sealed away from the [[outside world]] by the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. [[Reimu Hakurei]] is the protagonist of the project, who lives at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] that lies on the said barrier. She, along with the secondary character [[Marisa Kirisame]], set out to solve various [[incident]]s that happen throughout the land, mostly caused by youkai. With this, they're both youkai exterminators.<br />

The land is mainly inhabited by [[human]]s and [[youkai]] alike, who live in their own regions. Humans mostly settle in the [[Human Village]], whilst youkai can be found mostly anywhere, such as the [[Youkai Mountain]], the [[Forest of Magic]] and [[Makai]]. Some species include [[magician]]s, [[beast]]s, [[vampire]]s, [[ghost]]s, [[tengu]], [[mermaid]]s, and [[kappa]]. There are other species that could be youkai depending on definition, such as [[Fairy|fairies]], [[spirit]]s, [[phantom]]s, [[vengeful spirit]]s, [[poltergeist]]s, [[hermit]]s, [[oni]] and [[god]]s.<br />
<br />
Long before the Touhou Project 's story begins, there lived many youkai as well as some humans in the area. After a few humans lost their way into Gensokyo, humans became afraid of approaching this area, although others settled here for the sake of youkai extermination. However, as time went on, humans developed civilisation and multiplied in number, and thus the youkai became distressed about how this would affect the balance between humans and youkai. Thus, 500 years before the events of ''[[the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', [[Yukari Yakumo]] developed the "boundary of phantasm and substance", which was favoured by the youkai and protected the balance. This was called the "Youkai Expansion Project" and made Gensokyo a phantasmal world that automatically called out to the weakened youkai of the outside world. Other things that disappear from the outside world, like extinct animals, lost tools and architecture, also became abundant in Gensokyo. Since Gensokyo was a plot of land in Japan that was separated by a barrier, it is Japan that is immediately outside of this barrier.<br />
<br />
As a result of the seal, Gensokyo became inaccessible from the outside world, and similarly, those in Gensokyo were unable to leave. Gensokyo's existence could not be confirmed from the outside world, nor could the outside world be confirmed within Gensokyo. As a result, the isolated community developed its own civilisation, different from that of the outside world. Although separated by a barrier, it is a bordering world to its outside, as opposed to being in a parallel universe. There are no seas in Gensokyo, since it is an inland mountain.<br />
<br />
In present Gensokyo in all Touhou games, as opposed to the outside world where unscientific phenomena were dismissed as "superstition" by the time of the Meiji era, magical and spiritual qualities prevail. The only known gateway from the outside world into Gensokyo is the Hakurei Shrine. The [[spell card]] rules were also established to keep up the relationship between humans and youkai, which is necessary for the preservation of the balance of Gensokyo. The Great Hakurei Barrier, managed by Reimu, was constructed in the year 1885, which is described as a "barrier of common sense" and is thus a strong logical barrier that not even youkai can normally pass through. The youkai were at first against its construction, but then gradually understood its usefulness.<br />
<br />
===In-game events===<br />
In Gensokyo, [[incident]]s occur once in a while, where there's an event that affects all of Gensokyo with an unknown cause at the time it occurs.<ref name="PMiSSReimu">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Reimu Hakurei|Reimu Hakurei]]</ref> Touhou games mainly focuses on incidents in its stories, but there are also works such as ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' that are about events other than incidents.<br />
<br />
Frequently, incidents are due to a youkai's whim or curiosity, and usually Reimu (and on some cases others imitators such as Marisa) would go to investigate it to then find and punish the perpetrator. When a major incident occurs, the spirits and fairies are affected by the circumstances, the incident, and the perpetrator, and experience an increase in power for the duration incident, so there are also cases where a mere fairy can defeat Reimu. It has additionally been stated that people of the village also go out to resolve incidents.<ref name="PMiSSHV">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Human Village|Human Village]]</ref><br />
<br />
The Touhou Project does use the [[Wikipedia:Gregorian calendar|Gregorian calendar]], but since the moon is more important to youkai, there exists the "Youkai Lunisolar Calendar" in Gensokyo, and although it's not used except for some youkai, it features prominently in works that have dates, such as ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]''. This calendar doesn't merely take into account the waxing and waning of the moon, but also its colour and the cycles of its edge, and has a 13th intercalary month called Uruu. The smallest unit of this calendar is the month, and the calendar era, called "~th season", goes through a sexagenary cycle. ''the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' occurred in the 118th season, ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' in the 119th, and ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' in the 120th. The opening of the "Gensokyo Chronicles" to the public was on the 121st season. This calendar is set such that the end of [[Wikipedia:World War II|World War II]] is on the 60th season.<br />
<br />
==Name and Concept==<br />
{{nihongo|'''Touhou'''|東方}} means "Eastern" and can refer to some or all of the areas, cultures or histories within [[wikipedia:East Asia|East Asia]]. Historically, the term "the Orient" was widely used to refer to trade goods, artwork, literature, other items or topics related to countries in East Asia such as China, Japan, Korea or Vietnam. Officially, "Project Shrine Maiden" is the term for referring the series in English, but the English-speaking community regardlessly calls it the "Touhou Project" like the Japanese do. According to the Music Room Special in ''[[Mystic Square]]'', the naming scheme of {{lang|ja|東方OOO}} originally came from one of the first songs he composed for ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'', called {{nihongo|Touhou Kaikidan|東方怪奇談}}. With some exceptions, the title of games/books/CDs of the ''Touhou Project'' are all under the format as shown in the following table:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| '''Format:'''|| Japanese main title || double byte space || double byte wave dash || single byte space || English subtitle || single byte period/full stop<br />
|-<br />
| '''Example:''' || {{lang|ja|東方紅魔郷}} || '{{lang|ja| }}' || '{{lang|ja|~}}' || ' ' || [[the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]] || '.'<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Designation===<br />
In the Japanese community – along with the Chinese and Korean communities – the works are usually referred by the main title without the ''Touhou'' (e.g. {{nihongo||紅魔郷|Koumakyou}} for ''{{lang|ja|東方紅魔郷}} ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''). For short, they're referred by their third kanji/hanzi/hanja (e.g. {{lang|ja|紅}}). However for some titles, there are exceptions:<br />
*''Hisoutensoku'' → {{nihongo|天則||Tensoku}} or {{nihongo|則||soku}}<br />
*''Double Spoiler'' → DS<br />
*''Fairy Wars'' → Mostly {{nihongo|大戦争||Daisensou}}; if abbreviation is needed, just {{lang|ja|大}} is used<br />
*''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red'' → {{nihongo|書籍文花帖||Bunkachou}}<br />
*''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' → (before SoPm) {{nihongo|求聞||Gumon}}, (after SoPm) {{nihongo|史記||Shiki}}<br />
*''The Grimoire of Marisa'' → {{nihongo|グリモア||Gurimoa}}<br />
*''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' → {{nihongo|口授||Kuju}}<br />
*''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' → {{nihongo|香霖堂||Kourindou}}<br />
*''Silent Sinner in Blue'' → {{nihongo|儚月抄||Bougetsushou}}<br />
*''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'' → {{nihongo|小説抄||Shou}}<br />
*''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'' → Most commonly {{nihongo|うどんげっしょー||Udon Gesshou}}<br />
*Music CDs are all referred by their full Japanese title, and Sangetsusei are called by "{{lang|ja|三月精}}" (''Sangetsusei'') + volumes.<br />
<br />
In the Western community (English, French, Spanish, etc.), they're referred by their English subtitles (e.g. ''the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''). For short, they're referred via unofficial acronyms of the subtitles (e.g. EoSD). The leading "the" is sometimes omitted in the former, but always in the latter. Works without an English subtitle may be referred by their main title, as with ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'' (Soku) and ''The Grimoire of Marisa'' (GoM), or by their translated subtitle, as with ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'' (IotMaIotE).<br />
<br />
==="Series" terminology===<br />
While some people refer to the ''Touhou Project'' as {{nihongo|"Touhou Series"|東方シリーズ|Tōhō shirīzu}}, [[ZUN]] himself has a tendency to avoid using this term. He has given a reason to this - he said that he has been avoiding the term because it's been established to have an image of "commercialism". He also said that Touhou is hard to be considered as a "series" - since system, story and characters are all unrelated per each work and only the worldview is same.<br />
But it should be noted that right after he said that he finished his line with: "''...Well, it is a series though.''" making the audience burst out laughing.<ref>[[ZUN's Gensou Denshou Lecture]]</ref> He has also used the term a few times in the past himself,<ref>[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]] - [[Story_of_Eastern_Wonderland/Music#Final_Boss_-_Mima.27s_theme|Complete Darkness (東方幻想的音楽 arrangement)]]</ref> in addition to it appearing in print works.<ref>[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]] - [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 16|Chapter 16]]</ref><ref>[[Shanghai Alice Correspondence Three Fairies Version/Extra|Shanghai Alice Correspondence Three Fairies Version - volume EX]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Japanese culture===<br />
{{main|Touhou and Japanese culture}}<br />
The ''Touhou Project'' has a lot of aspects of Japanese mythology, traditions and religion present, including texts such as the ''Kojiki'' and the ''Nihon Shoki''. Many characters and stories are to at least some extent based on folklore, often more so than modern culture, making the series more traditional than modern itself.<br />
<br />
===Modern Science===<br />
{{main|Touhou and Modern Science}}<br />
Modern science and technology hold very little aspects in the ''Touhou Project'', but has become quite common in recent material.<br />

The {{nihongo|'''Touhou Project'''|東方Project}}, also {{nihongo|'''東方プロジェクト'''||Touhou Purojekuto}} or '''Project Shrine Maiden''', is a Japanese [[doujin]] game series that specialises in [[shoot 'em up]]s by sole [[Team Shanghai Alice]] member [[ZUN]]. Generally, it's a series of 2D (with 3D background) vertically-scrolling [[danmaku]] shooting games, that also creates related [[Official Literature|print works]] and [[music CDs]]. There are also six fighting game spinoffs co-produced with [[Twilight Frontier]], called "danmaku action games." The works of ''Touhou Project'' are sometimes called the {{nihongo|'''Touhou Series'''|東方シリーズ|Tōhō shirīzu}} for convenience.<br />
<br />
The [[wikipedia:Guinness World Records|Guinness World Records]] named the Touhou Project as the "world's most prolific fan-made shooter series."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.archive.org/web/20130424041751/http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-8000/most-prolific-fan-made-shooter-series/|title=Most prolific fan-made shooter series|publisher=Guinness World Records|accessdate=22 August 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
The setting of the ''Touhou Project'' lies in a haunted region of Japan called {{nihongo|[[Gensokyo]]|幻想郷|Gensōkyō|lit. "Land of Illusions" or "Land of Fantasy"}}, sealed away from the [[outside world]] by the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. [[Reimu Hakurei]] is the protagonist of the project, who lives at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] that lies on the said barrier. She, along with the secondary character [[Marisa Kirisame]], set out to solve various [[incident]]s that happen throughout the land, mostly caused by youkai. With this, they're both youkai exterminators.<br />
<br />
The land is mainly inhabited by [[human]]s and [[youkai]] alike, who live in their own regions. Humans mostly settle in the [[Human Village]], whilst youkai can be found mostly anywhere, such as the [[Youkai Mountain]], the [[Forest of Magic]] and [[Makai]]. Some species include [[magician]]s, [[beast]]s, [[vampire]]s, [[ghost]]s, [[tengu]], [[mermaid]]s, and [[kappa]]. There are other species that could be youkai depending on definition, such as [[Fairy|fairies]], [[spirit]]s, [[phantom]]s, [[vengeful spirit]]s, [[poltergeist]]s, [[hermit]]s, [[oni]] and [[god]]s.<br />
<br />
Long before the Touhou Project 's story begins, there lived many youkai as well as some humans in the area. After a few humans lost their way into Gensokyo, humans became afraid of approaching this area, although others settled here for the sake of youkai extermination. However, as time went on, humans developed civilisation and multiplied in number, and thus the youkai became distressed about how this would affect the balance between humans and youkai. Thus, 500 years before the events of ''[[the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', [[Yukari Yakumo]] developed the "boundary of phantasm and substance", which was favoured by the youkai and protected the balance. This was called the "Youkai Expansion Project" and made Gensokyo a phantasmal world that automatically called out to the weakened youkai of the outside world. Other things that disappear from the outside world, like extinct animals, lost tools and architecture, also became abundant in Gensokyo. Since Gensokyo was a plot of land in Japan that was separated by a barrier, it is Japan that is immediately outside of this barrier.<br />
<br />
As a result of the seal, Gensokyo became inaccessible from the outside world, and similarly, those in Gensokyo were unable to leave. Gensokyo's existence could not be confirmed from the outside world, nor could the outside world be confirmed within Gensokyo. As a result, the isolated community developed its own civilisation, different from that of the outside world. Although separated by a barrier, it is a bordering world to its outside, as opposed to being in a parallel universe. There are no seas in Gensokyo, since it is an inland mountain.<br />
<br />
In present Gensokyo in all Touhou games, as opposed to the outside world where unscientific phenomena were dismissed as "superstition" by the time of the Meiji era, magical and spiritual qualities prevail. The only known gateway from the outside world into Gensokyo is the Hakurei Shrine. The [[spell card]] rules were also established to keep up the relationship between humans and youkai, which is necessary for the preservation of the balance of Gensokyo. The Great Hakurei Barrier, managed by Reimu, was constructed in the year 1885, which is described as a "barrier of common sense" and is thus a strong logical barrier that not even youkai can normally pass through. The youkai were at first against its construction, but then gradually understood its usefulness.<br />
<br />
===In-game events===<br />
In Gensokyo, [[incident]]s occur once in a while, where there's an event that affects all of Gensokyo with an unknown cause at the time it occurs.<ref name="PMiSSReimu">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Reimu Hakurei|Reimu Hakurei]]</ref> Touhou games mainly focuses on incidents in its stories, but there are also works such as ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' that are about events other than incidents.<br />

Frequently, incidents are due to a youkai's whim or curiosity, and usually Reimu (and on some cases others imitators such as Marisa) would go to investigate it to then find and punish the perpetrator. When a major incident occurs, the spirits and fairies are affected by the circumstances, the incident, and the perpetrator, and experience an increase in power for the duration incident, so there are also cases where a mere fairy can defeat Reimu. It has additionally been stated that people of the village also go out to resolve incidents.<ref name="PMiSSHV">''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'': [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Human Village|Human Village]]</ref><br />
<br />
The Touhou Project does use the [[Wikipedia:Gregorian calendar|Gregorian calendar]], but since the moon is more important to youkai, there exists the "Youkai Lunisolar Calendar" in Gensokyo, and although it's not used except for some youkai, it features prominently in works that have dates, such as ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]''. This calendar doesn't merely take into account the waxing and waning of the moon, but also its colour and the cycles of its edge, and has a 13th intercalary month called Uruu. The smallest unit of this calendar is the month, and the calendar era, called "~th season", goes through a sexagenary cycle. ''the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'' occurred in the 118th season, ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'' in the 119th, and ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'' in the 120th. The opening of the "Gensokyo Chronicles" to the public was on the 121st season. This calendar is set such that the end of [[Wikipedia:World War II|World War II]] is on the 60th season.<br />
<br />
==Name and Concept==<br />
{{nihongo|'''Touhou'''|東方}} means "Eastern" and can refer to some or all of the areas, cultures or histories within [[wikipedia:East Asia|East Asia]]. Historically, the term "the Orient" was widely used to refer to trade goods, artwork, literature, other items or topics related to countries in East Asia such as China, Japan, Korea or Vietnam. Officially, "Project Shrine Maiden" is the term for referring the series in English, but the English-speaking community regardlessly calls it the "Touhou Project" like the Japanese do. According to the Music Room Special in ''[[Mystic Square]]'', the naming scheme of {{lang|ja|東方OOO}} originally came from one of the first songs he composed for ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'', called {{nihongo|Touhou Kaikidan|東方怪奇談}}. With some exceptions, the title of games/books/CDs of the ''Touhou Project'' are all under the format as shown in the following table:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
| '''Format:'''|| Japanese main title || double byte space || double byte wave dash || single byte space || English subtitle || single byte period/full stop<br />
|-<br />
| '''Example:''' || {{lang|ja|東方紅魔郷}} || '{{lang|ja| }}' || '{{lang|ja|~}}' || ' ' || [[the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]] || '.'<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Designation===<br />
In the Japanese community – along with the Chinese and Korean communities – the works are usually referred by the main title without the ''Touhou'' (e.g. {{nihongo||紅魔郷|Koumakyou}} for ''{{lang|ja|東方紅魔郷}} ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''). For short, they're referred by their third kanji/hanzi/hanja (e.g. {{lang|ja|紅}}). However for some titles, there are exceptions:<br />
*''Hisoutensoku'' → {{nihongo|天則||Tensoku}} or {{nihongo|則||soku}}<br />
*''Double Spoiler'' → DS<br />
*''Fairy Wars'' → Mostly {{nihongo|大戦争||Daisensou}}; if abbreviation is needed, just {{lang|ja|大}} is used<br />
*''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red'' → {{nihongo|書籍文花帖||Bunkachou}}<br />
*''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' → (before SoPm) {{nihongo|求聞||Gumon}}, (after SoPm) {{nihongo|史記||Shiki}}<br />
*''The Grimoire of Marisa'' → {{nihongo|グリモア||Gurimoa}}<br />
*''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' → {{nihongo|口授||Kuju}}<br />
*''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' → {{nihongo|香霖堂||Kourindou}}<br />
*''Silent Sinner in Blue'' → {{nihongo|儚月抄||Bougetsushou}}<br />
*''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'' → {{nihongo|小説抄||Shou}}<br />
*''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'' → Most commonly {{nihongo|うどんげっしょー||Udon Gesshou}}<br />
*Music CDs are all referred by their full Japanese title, and Sangetsusei are called by "{{lang|ja|三月精}}" (''Sangetsusei'') + volumes.<br />
<br />
In the Western community (English, French, Spanish, etc.), they're referred by their English subtitles (e.g. ''the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''). For short, they're referred via unofficial acronyms of the subtitles (e.g. EoSD). The leading "the" is sometimes omitted in the former, but always in the latter. Works without an English subtitle may be referred by their main title, as with ''Touhou Hisoutensoku'' (Soku) and ''The Grimoire of Marisa'' (GoM), or by their translated subtitle, as with ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'' (IotMaIotE).<br />
<br />
==="Series" terminology===<br />
While some people refer to the ''Touhou Project'' as {{nihongo|"Touhou Series"|東方シリーズ|Tōhō shirīzu}}, [[ZUN]] himself has a tendency to avoid using this term. He has given a reason to this - he said that he has been avoiding the term because it's been established to have an image of "commercialism". He also said that Touhou is hard to be considered as a "series" - since system, story and characters are all unrelated per each work and only the worldview is same.<br />
But it should be noted that right after he said that he finished his line with: "''...Well, it is a series though.''" making the audience burst out laughing.<ref>[[ZUN's Gensou Denshou Lecture]]</ref> He has also used the term a few times in the past himself,<ref>[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]] - [[Story_of_Eastern_Wonderland/Music#Final_Boss_-_Mima.27s_theme|Complete Darkness (東方幻想的音楽 arrangement)]]</ref> in addition to it appearing in print works.<ref>[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]] - [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 16|Chapter 16]]</ref><ref>[[Shanghai Alice Correspondence Three Fairies Version/Extra|Shanghai Alice Correspondence Three Fairies Version - volume EX]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Japanese culture===<br />
{{main|Touhou and Japanese culture}}<br />
The ''Touhou Project'' has a lot of aspects of Japanese mythology, traditions and religion present, including texts such as the ''Kojiki'' and the ''Nihon Shoki''. Many characters and stories are to at least some extent based on folklore, often more so than modern culture, making the series more traditional than modern itself.<br />
<br />
===Modern Science===<br />
{{main|Touhou and Modern Science}}<br />
Modern science and technology hold very little aspects in the ''Touhou Project'', but has become quite common in recent material.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Gensokyo'''|幻想郷|gensoukyou{{ref|romanization}}|"Land of Illusions" or "Land of Fantasy"}} is the setting of ''[[Touhou Project]]''. Its culture vaguely resembles that of feudal Japan, heavily embellished with folkloric elements.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Gensokyo was originally a desolate, haunted region of Japan ages ago. The [[youkai]] that lived there began to terrorize the surrounding lands, and thus powerful, heroic [[human]]s were sent to exorcise and exterminate them. The off and on battle between humans and youkai continued on until 1885 A.D., when Gensokyo was sealed off from this increasingly scientific and skeptical world with the creation of the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]. There has been little contact between those societies ever since. Today, the only known gateway between Gensokyo and this world is the [[Hakurei Shrine]], which stands in isolation along the border on distant mountains of the far east. It's known that the local language spoken in Gensokyo is modern [[wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]]<ref name="INR&Y">[[Imperishable Night]]: [[Imperishable Night/Story/Barrier Team's Scenario|Barrier Team's Scenario]]</ref>.<br />
<br />
Gensokyo is populated mainly by youkai, but a decent human and [[rabbit]] population lives there as well. Some of its inhabitants went there to hide, to escape, to find shelter when no-one and nowhere else would accept them. Many of them just like the natural darkness.<br />
<br />
===Geography===<br />
{{Main|Locations|l1=Locations}}<br />
<br />
Gensokyo, the area encompassed by the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]], is a landlocked territory comprised mainly of forested mountains. Notable geographic features include the [[Youkai Mountain]] with communities of [[kappa]] at its base, [[tengu]] at its peak, and the [[Moriya Shrine]] at a lake near the top; the [[Forest of Magic]]; the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]] where [[Eientei]] is located; the [[Misty Lake]] next to the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]; the [[Human Village]] and adjacent [[Myouren Temple]], which are assumed to be in a fertile valley; the [[Sanzu River]] separating Gensokyo from [[Higan]]; and the [[Hakurei Shrine]] at the east of Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
Although passing through the Hakurei Barrier to the [[Outside World]] is virtually impossible for anyone besides [[Yukari Yakumo]], it's significantly easier for Gensokyo denizens to access domains of [[god]]s, [[demon]]s, and [[spirit]]s which aren't strictly part of Gensokyo itself. These include [[Higan]], the [[Netherworld]], [[Makai]], [[Heaven]], [[Senkai]] and the [[Underworld]].<br />
<br />
The [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Fourth Chapter|fourth chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'' reveals that the Youkai Mountain preserves the original appearance of Mount Yatsugatake before [[Konohana-Sakuyahime]], the goddess of Mount Fuji, tore it down out of jealousy. In the [[outside world]] today, the remnants of the mountain can be seen as the [[Wikipedia:Yatsugatake Mountains|Yatsugatake mountain range]] in [[Wikipedia:Yatsugatake-Chūshin Kōgen Quasi-National Park|Yatsugatake-Chūshin Kōgen Quasi-National Park]] between Nagano and Yamanashi Prefectures, providing a possible indication of where Gensokyo would be located in Japan. {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia:Lake Suwa|Lake Suwa]]|諏訪湖|Suwa-ko}} and Mount Moriya, which [[Suwako Moriya]] was named after, are located nearby.<br />
<br />
===Creatures===<br />
{{Main|:Category:Bestiary|l1=Category: Bestiary}}<br />
Creatures of all shapes and sizes inhabit the world of Gensokyo, most drawing inspiration from Japanese legends and folklore.<br />
<br />
[[Human]]s are one of the major populations in Gensokyo. [[Youkai]] essentially make up the rest, though "youkai" tends to be an umbrella term, and essentially can be used to encompass everything non-human. Many youkai are sub-classified into other races, such as [[devil]]s, [[magician]]s, [[vampire]]s, [[Fairy|fairies]], [[kappa]], [[oni]], and many more.<br />
<br />
Many types of spirits also inhabit the world, such as [[Ghost]]s, [[Poltergeist]]s, [[Evil spirit]]s, [[Divine spirit]]s, a number of [[Tsukumogami]], and [[apparition]]s.<br />
<br />
===Items===<br />
{{Main|:Category:Objects|l1=Category: Objects}}<br />
Many unusual items exist in Gensokyo, of which quite a few are based in Japanese mythology in one way or another. However, given Gensokyo's nature as a "land of that which is forgotten", even more modern items that have fallen out of style for a long time (such as the Game Boy) have occasionally turned up. Many of these "new" items appear near [[Muenzuka]], and both [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] and [[Nazrin]] are said to have picked up various objects there.<br />
<br />
In addition to the unusual items floating in, many goods are the same as those from old Japan. Goods like black tea and coffee are considered to be a luxury.<ref name="cola4">[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]] - Chapter 4.</ref><br />
<br />
===Media===<br />
{{Main|Bunbunmaru Newspaper|Kakashi Spirit News}}<br />
There are two known sources of media in Gensokyo: the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]], written and edited by [[Aya Shameimaru]]; and the [[Kakashi Spirit News]], by [[Hatate Himekaidou]]. The former seems to be far more popular, however, with its sometimes loose depictions of reality.<br />
<br />
===Timeline===<br />
{{Main|Gensokyo Timeline}}<br />
Gensokyo exists roughly parallel to the real world. There does, however, appear to be at least a few decades worth of a "time lag" between the two, as shown by hints and implications at major outside events happening. As the inhabitants of Gensokyo, however, have developed their spiritual lives instead of following the trend of technological advancements in the real world, Gensokyo itself can appear to be a Japan from hundreds of years ago.<br />
<br />
==Gensokyo's Appearances==<br />
[[File:Th075Gensokyo.jpg|thumb|200px|The 'Gensokyo' [[stage]] in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'']]<br />
===Windows Games===<br />
;''Immaterial and Missing Power''<br />
There is a [[stage]] in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' associated with [[Suika Ibuki]], simply titled 'Gensokyo', appearing as a floor of mist through which [[Hakurei Shrine]] may be seen below. In the background, a giant [[moon]] hangs in the sky. It is the final stage in each [[character]]'s scenario.<br />
<br />
==Gensokyo in other Canon works==<br />
===PC-98===<br />
{{Main|Canon#Canonicity and comparison between windows and PC-98|l1=Canon: Canonicity and comparison between windows and PC-98}}<br />
<br />
The setting of the PC-98 games was initially called {{nihongo|'''The Eastern Country'''|東の国|Azuma no kuni}}. The name ''Gensokyo'' first appeared in Lotus Land Story as part of the game's title, ''Touhou Gensokyo'', and it has garnered a few mentions in the [[Mystic Square/Music|Mystic Square Music Room]]<ref name="MS Music room">Sara's theme</ref>, albeit most likely as a reference to the music of Lotus Land Story itself. However, ZUN has confirmed the Eastern Country in the PC-98 games to be the same world as Gensokyo as in the Windows games.<ref name="ZUN's AWA Q&A Panel">[[ZUN's AWA Q&A Panel]]</ref><br />
<br />
The PC-98 world isn't as clearly defined, but it has some notable locations - including the [[Human Village]] and the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Other worlds bordering the Eastern Country include [[Makai]], the [[Fantasy World]], [[Mugenkan]] and [[Reimaden]], with their borders set behind the mountain which the Hakurei Shrine sits at the foot of. Oddly, there's also a modern American diner.<ref>[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]] – Reimu A's Ending</ref><br />
<br />
===Seihou===<br />
{{Seihou note|section}}<br />
It's never stated what kind of world [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] are from, as it's referred to as simply {{nihongo|"the East"|東}}. From there, it's presumed that [[VIVIT]] travelled down the [[Seihou World#Silk Road|Silk Road]] towards the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to find the [[Holy Grail]], where she bumps into the said two characters.<br />
<br />
It was shown that a large amount of vegetation existed in the East compared to the extinct vegetation on [[Seihou World#Earth|Seihou World's Earth]]'s apart from cacti. In respect to this, Touhou's ''[[Dolls in Pseudo Paradise]]'' had a statement that may indicate that the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]] also existed during this game as it does in the Windows canon of the ''Touhou Project''. It also has a statement that may indicate VIVIT saying "Oh, that girl... doesn't look like a human nor a youkai."<br />
<br />
===Uwabami Breakers===<br />
{{Uwabami note|section}}<br />
In ''[[Uwabami Breakers]]'', [[Isami Asama]] heard a story that if you drink at the [[Twilight Bar Room]] until morning, you'd see "A mysterious world of curtain fire," referring to Gensokyo. Also, it's presumed that the Twilight Bar Room is located in the [[outside world]].<br />
<br />
===Project Blank===<br />
{{Project blank note|section}}<br />
Gensokyo may have been referenced in ''[[Project Blank]]'''s first game ''[[Samidare]]'', where [[C23]] encounters [[Yuki]] and [[Mai]] in the 3rd area of the Extra stage, with normal enemies as [[bakebake]] and the background has a resemblance of a [[Shinto]] theme.<br />

==Notes==<br />
{{note|romanization}} Though "Gensoukyou" or "Gensōkyō" are considered correct, it is spelled "Gensokyo" in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Phantasm Stage while "Gensoukyo" is used on The ''[[Grimoire of Marisa]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s back cover. <br />

{{thtitle|<Touhou |Chireikiden>|ruby=Strange Legend of Wise Spirits|{{ruby|Hansoku Tantei Satori|Foul Detective Satori}}|<東方智霊奇伝> 反則探偵さとり}} is an official Touhou comic published on Comic Walker, with the physical volumes published by Kadokawa. The story is written by [[ZUN]], with illustrations by Ginmokusei ({{lang|ja|銀木犀}}). It focuses on [[Satori Komeiji]]'s endeavors as a detective, solving mysteries around [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
On 19 February 2021, it was announced that, due to the illustrator's ill health, the series would end serialisation. Future plans for the series will be announced at a later date.<ref name=announce>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/thgairai/status/1362719139001892864?s=20|title={{lang|ja|連載終了のお知らせ}}|author=東方外來韋編|date=January 19, 2021|language=ja}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Name and Concept==<br />
The main title of "''Chireikiden''" makes reference to [[Subterranean Animism]], which Japanese title is "''Chireiden''" and was the game Satori first debuted in. The subtitle "Foul Detective Satori" most likely makes reference to Satori's ability to read minds, which would make solving mysteries easy for her; it is meant in the sense of "foul play", not offensive or unpleasant.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hieda no Akyuu'''|稗田 阿求}} is the main protagonist of ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' and the current {{nihongo|"[[Child of Miare]]"|御阿礼の子}}, who is born in the Hieda family once in every 120 to 180 years with the ability to "not forget anything she sees" and records [[Gensokyo]]'s history. She seems to like red tea and [[wikipedia:Frequency modulation synthesis|FM Synthesis]] music.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Akyuu first appeared as the main protagonist of ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' along with the spinoff manga ''[[Memorizable Gensokyo]]''. She starred in her own ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score]]'' series, which is a collection of tracks from the [[PC-98]] games. She appears in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' recording all the events and appeared in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'' as a secondary character. Additionally, she's appeared in various cameos in other mangas such as ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'' and ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]''.<br />
<br />
Hieda is the ninth in a long chain of reincarnations of the "[[Child of Miare]]". Because of this, her memory goes back over 1200 years despite her young age. Historically, the role of the Children of Miare has been to collect and compile information on the various [[youkai]] and youkai hunters living in [[Gensokyo]], as well as to compile historical articles, which are published as part of the [[Gensokyo Chronicle]].<br />
<br />
Akyuu is physically only ten years old at the time ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' was published, and doesn't have a very long lifespan, presumably because of the reincarnation process.<br />
<br />
===Personality=== <br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Not forgetting things seen once<br />
Akyuu has got the ability to not forget things seen once that her ancestor Hieda no Are possessed, and even upon repeated reincarnations, this ability is carried over generations of the [[Child of Miare]]. Also, although it's more of a secret art than an ability, she also possesses a means of reincarnation. Akyuu states in a footnote to [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Bunbunmaru_Newspaper|the Bunbunmaru newspaper article of her birth]] that, upon reincarnation, the only memories left from the past generations are those related to the ''[[Gensokyo Chronicle]]'', and she states in her monologue that the memories from ancient times are very unclear. She does, however, retain even some memories of her ancestor Are (who was the first to have the power of Gumonji, the power to remember anything you've seen, who came before Aichi did).<br />
<br />
It seems that her means of reincarnation requires several years of preparation in advance of her death, which includes making deals with the [[Yama]] to perform work in the afterlife; in addition the Children of Miare have short lifespans and seldom live beyond the age of thirty. As a result, she doesn't get to spend much of her life as an ordinary [[human]]. However, since she has recently been able to befriend [[youkai]] that live long enough to meet her in multiple lives, this doesn't seem to cause her much distress any more.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Hieda no Akyuu''|稗田 阿求}}; note that it's romanised correctly with two u's.<br />{{nihongo|"Hieda"|稗田}} means "millet field". The {{nihongo|"Miare"|御阿礼}} in "Child of Miare" presumably refers to {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Hieda no Are|Hieda no Are]]|稗田 阿礼}}, the oral historian credited with helping compile the [[Wikipedia:Kojiki|Kojiki]], Japan's first written historical record. The (unwritten) [[wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]] character {{nihongo||の|no}} used here indicates a "belonging", thus the English equivalent of her name would be "Akyuu of the Hieda". In ancient Japan times, it was common for aristocrats with a clan's name to have ''no'' between their clan's name and first name.<br /><br />
The name {{nihongo|"Akyuu"|阿求}} has two points to note:<br /><br />
The former character {{nihongo|"a"|阿}} is a letter working as diminutive/pejorative. This hanzi was imported into Japan and borrowed limitedly to indicate a prefix "{{nihongo|o|お}}" as a variant of the similar prefix {{nihongo|o|御}} — only used before female name. So it should be now seen a suffix "-san" or "-chan".<br /><br />
The latter character {{nihongo|"kyuu"|求}} means "to seek/request/want" literally, but it should be seen as a pun on the Japanese word for {{nihongo|"nine"|九|kyuu}} since she is the ninth Child of Miare. [[ZUN]] romanised her name with only one u in the titles of ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score]]'', which is technically incorrect. As seen in the [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Colophon|Colophon]] of ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', the names of Akyuu's previous incarnations as Children of Miare (Aichi, Ani, Ami, Ayo, Ago, Amu, Anana and Aya) are all puns on numbers, with Are standing for {{nihongo|zero|零|rei}}.<br /><br />
Then put them together, her name is together "little girl in the ninth generation of Hieda clan".<br />
<br />
In [[wikipedia:Yen Press|Yen Press]]'s English translation of ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', her name is (mis-)translated to "Akyu Hiedano".<ref>{{cite book|last1=ZUN|author-link1=ZUN|first2=Moe|last2=Harukawa|author-link2=Moe Harukawa|translator-first1=Alethea|translator-last1=Nibley|translator-first2=Athena|translator-last2=Nibley|title=[[Forbidden Scrollery]]|volume=1|page=8|location=New York City, NY, USA|publisher=Yen Press|date=November 21, 2017|isbn=9780316511896|edition=trade paperback}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=ZUN|author-link1=ZUN|first2=Moe|last2=Harukawa|author-link2=Moe Harukawa|translator-first1=Alethea|translator-last1=Nibley|translator-first2=Athena|translator-last2=Nibley|title=Forbidden Scrollery|volume=6|page=161|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rmaBDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT161&lpg=PT161&dq=Akyu+Hiedano&source=bl&ots=DN_wFvtxRs&sig=ACfU3U33bP8JJbtcZKPNp-lRZXOYMnbj3w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjmjZapp7nhAhXPm-AKHe4rDZoQ6AEwFHoECAYQAQ#v=onepage&q=Akyu%20Hiedano&f=false|location=New York City, NY, USA|publisher=Yen Press|date=February 19, 2019|isbn=9780316512091|edition=digital download|access-date=April 5, 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Akyuu has purple hair, purple eyes and wears a light pink flower-shaped ornament in her hair, which matches flowers on her sleeves. Her outfit resembles a "wa lolita" type or a Japanese-esque maid outfit. It has yellow flower-patterned sleeves, a green vest, and a shortened hakama skirt separated by a red, white laced obi. Uses glasses to read.<br />
<br />
==Akyuu's Appearances==<br />
[[File:FSAkyuu.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Akyuu as seen in [[Forbidden Scrollery]]]]<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense''<br />
Akyuu is the one who wrote the in-universe book ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' that shows articles of various characters from ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' to ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]''. In them, she shows actual facts about the characters, and sometimes shows speculation.<br />
<br />
;''Memorizable Gensokyo''<br />
In addition to being the in-universe author of ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', Akyuu also appears in the side manga ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Memorizable Gensokyo|Memorizable Gensokyo]]''. Akyuu is first visited by [[Yukari Yakumo]], who seeks to read and edit the [[Gensokyo Chronicle]] before it is published. Later on, [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] stop by to see it as well.<br />
<br />
;''Symposium of Post-mysticism''<br />
Akyuu again is the one who wrote the in-universe book ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''. What was included was a symposium that Akyuu arranged, to which [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]], and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] attended. Akyuu recorded their discussions in the background, and sometimes made a few comments. She also showed articles of various characters from ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' to ''[[Ten Desires]]'' and added newspapers from [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]] and [[Kakashi Spirit News]] that [[Reimu Hakurei]] threw in at the end of the symposium.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
Akyuu frequently appears in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', appearing older than her previous appearances. In Chapters 1 and 2, Akyuu appears to be taking interest in the rare [[demon books]] that the [[Suzunaan]] has in stock. Later on, in Chapter 6, she aids the people of the [[Human Village]] by planting a trap for [[Tupai|a supposed sake-drinking youkai]]. Starting in chapter 40, she begins writing murder mysteries under the pen name "Agatha Chris Q.", a play on [[wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]] (author of the novel ''[[wikipedia:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]]'', from which the name "U.N. Owen" used on the title of [[Flandre Scarlet]]'s boss theme was taken) and her own name.<br />
<br />
===Music CDs===<br />
;''Akyu's Untouched Score''<br />
Akyuu stars in the ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score]]'' series, which is a collection of tracks from the [[PC-98]] games. She makes comments on each CD, to which they show her taste for [[wikipedia:FM synthesis|FM synthesis]] music.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Keine Kamishirasawa===<br />
[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Keine_Kamishirasawa|Keine's article in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'']] states that [[Keine Kamishirasawa]] has a close relation with the Hieda family, and Keine uses their records for her lessons. It also reveals Akyuu is not a student at Keine's school. Keine's powers to erase and create history don't affect the Hieda Family's [[Gensokyo Chronicle]]. According to ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', Akyuu and Keine are acquainted with each other as fellow scholars.<br />
<br />
===Yukari Yakumo===<br />
Akyuu and [[Yukari Yakumo]] "first met" in ''[[Memorizable Gensokyo]]'', though their mannerisms imply that they've known each other in Akyuu's previous lives (possibly as early as Hieda no Aichi 1,200 years ago). Akyuu looks up to Yukari, referring to her as "The Sage of the [[Youkai]]" with solemn awe and respect, and she readily allows Yukari to proofread and edit the latest edition of the Gensokyo Chronicle. However, Akyuu's written article on Yukari in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' shows she's aware one can't always trust Yukari's word, and that Yukari's logic isn't the same as a [[human]]'s.<br />
<br />
===Reimu Hakurei===<br />
The Hakurei clan and Hieda clan appear to have some relations, as the [[Hakurei Shrine]] volunteered to hold a party in 1994 when Hieda no Akyuu was born in [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Bunbunmaru Newspaper|the Bunbunmaru newspaper article of her birth]]. It is unknown if [[Reimu Hakurei]] was present at or born before this time (the earliest known year in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' that Reimu's been depicted was 2001 or 2002 in [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter_22|''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' Chapter 22]], but Reimu's age at that time isn't stated). Reimu's dialogue in ''[[Memorizable Gensokyo]]'' shows that she's been to the Hieda Residence before and is familiar with it, but has not met Akyuu in person prior to the events of that story.<br />
<br />
===Kosuzu Motoori===<br />
Due to their shared interest in books, Akyuu and [[Kosuzu Motoori]] appear to be close friends - Akyuu frequently visits [[Suzunaan]] to borrow books, and the two speak far more casually when in each others' company. Akyuu is aware that Kosuzu's continued dabbling in [[demon books]] could potentially turn her into a youkai, but does not actively try to stop her, only warning Kosuzu that becoming a youkai would make her life difficult.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Bunbunmaru Newspaper|Aya's newspaper article]] on Akyuu's birth states, "With her, there are now nine generations of the Children of Miare (Girl of Are, Boy of Are)." It thus appears that one or more of Akyuu's previous incarnations were male.<br />
*''[[Memorizable Gensokyo]]'' and ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'' show that Akyuu has several female [[human]] servants and a pet cat.<br />
*Hieda no Aichi first started writing the Gensokyo Chronicles at age 18.<br />
*A footnote in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' reveals that Akyuu is fond of [[Choujuu Gigaku]]'s music, implying that she's attended at least one of their concerts.<br />

It seems that her means of reincarnation requires several years of preparation in advance of her death, which includes making deals with the [[Yama]] to perform work in the afterlife; in addition the Children of Miare have short lifespans and seldom live beyond the age of thirty. As a result, she doesn't get to spend much of her life as an ordinary [[human]]. However, since she has recently been able to befriend [[youkai]] that live long enough to meet her in multiple lives, this doesn't seem to cause her much distress any more.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Hieda no Akyuu''|稗田 阿求}}; note that it's romanised correctly with two u's.<br />{{nihongo|"Hieda"|稗田}} means "millet field". The {{nihongo|"Miare"|御阿礼}} in "Child of Miare" presumably refers to {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Hieda no Are|Hieda no Are]]|稗田 阿礼}}, the oral historian credited with helping compile the [[Wikipedia:Kojiki|Kojiki]], Japan's first written historical record. The (unwritten) [[wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]] character {{nihongo||の|no}} used here indicates a "belonging", thus the English equivalent of her name would be "Akyuu of the Hieda". In ancient Japan times, it was common for aristocrats with a clan's name to have ''no'' between their clan's name and first name.<br /><br />
The name {{nihongo|"Akyuu"|阿求}} has two points to note:<br /><br />
The former character {{nihongo|"a"|阿}} is a letter working as diminutive/pejorative. This hanzi was imported into Japan and borrowed limitedly to indicate a prefix "{{nihongo|o|お}}" as a variant of the similar prefix {{nihongo|o|御}} — only used before female name. So it should be now seen a suffix "-san" or "-chan".<br /><br />
The latter character {{nihongo|"kyuu"|求}} means "to seek/request/want" literally, but it should be seen as a pun on the Japanese word for {{nihongo|"nine"|九|kyuu}} since she is the ninth Child of Miare. [[ZUN]] romanised her name with only one u in the titles of ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score]]'', which is technically incorrect. As seen in the [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Colophon|Colophon]] of ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', the names of Akyuu's previous incarnations as Children of Miare (Aichi, Ani, Ami, Ayo, Ago, Amu, Anana and Aya) are all puns on numbers, with Are standing for {{nihongo|zero|零|rei}}.<br /><br />
Then put them together, her name is together "little girl in the ninth generation of Hieda clan".<br />
<br />
In [[wikipedia:Yen Press|Yen Press]]'s English translation of ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', her name is (mis-)translated to "Akyu Hiedano".<ref>{{cite book|last1=ZUN|author-link1=ZUN|first2=Moe|last2=Harukawa|author-link2=Moe Harukawa|translator-first1=Alethea|translator-last1=Nibley|translator-first2=Athena|translator-last2=Nibley|title=[[Forbidden Scrollery]]|volume=1|page=8|location=New York City, NY, USA|publisher=Yen Press|date=November 21, 2017|isbn=9780316511896|edition=trade paperback}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=ZUN|author-link1=ZUN|first2=Moe|last2=Harukawa|author-link2=Moe Harukawa|translator-first1=Alethea|translator-last1=Nibley|translator-first2=Athena|translator-last2=Nibley|title=Forbidden Scrollery|volume=6|page=161|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rmaBDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT161&lpg=PT161&dq=Akyu+Hiedano&source=bl&ots=DN_wFvtxRs&sig=ACfU3U33bP8JJbtcZKPNp-lRZXOYMnbj3w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjmjZapp7nhAhXPm-AKHe4rDZoQ6AEwFHoECAYQAQ#v=onepage&q=Akyu%20Hiedano&f=false|location=New York City, NY, USA|publisher=Yen Press|date=February 19, 2019|isbn=9780316512091|edition=digital download|access-date=April 5, 2019}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Akyuu has purple hair, purple eyes and wears a light pink flower-shaped ornament in her hair, which matches flowers on her sleeves. Her outfit resembles a "wa lolita" type or a Japanese-esque maid outfit. It has yellow flower-patterned sleeves, a green vest, and a shortened hakama skirt separated by a red, white laced obi. Uses glasses to read.<br />
<br />
==Akyuu's Appearances==<br />
[[File:FSAkyuu.jpg|thumb|right|120px|Akyuu as seen in [[Forbidden Scrollery]]]]<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense''<br />
Akyuu is the one who wrote the in-universe book ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' that shows articles of various characters from ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'' to ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]''. In them, she shows actual facts about the characters, and sometimes shows speculation.<br />
<br />
;''Memorizable Gensokyo''<br />
In addition to being the in-universe author of ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', Akyuu also appears in the side manga ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Memorizable Gensokyo|Memorizable Gensokyo]]''. Akyuu is first visited by [[Yukari Yakumo]], who seeks to read and edit the [[Gensokyo Chronicle]] before it is published. Later on, [[Reimu Hakurei]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]] stop by to see it as well.<br />
<br />
;''Symposium of Post-mysticism''<br />
Akyuu again is the one who wrote the in-universe book ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''. What was included was a symposium that Akyuu arranged, to which [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]], and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] attended. Akyuu recorded their discussions in the background, and sometimes made a few comments. She also showed articles of various characters from ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' to ''[[Ten Desires]]'' and added newspapers from [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]] and [[Kakashi Spirit News]] that [[Reimu Hakurei]] threw in at the end of the symposium.<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
Akyuu frequently appears in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'', appearing older than her previous appearances. In Chapters 1 and 2, Akyuu appears to be taking interest in the rare [[demon books]] that the [[Suzunaan]] has in stock. Later on, in Chapter 6, she aids the people of the [[Human Village]] by planting a trap for [[Tupai|a supposed sake-drinking youkai]]. Starting in chapter 40, she begins writing murder mysteries under the pen name "Agatha Chris Q.", a play on [[wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]] (author of the novel ''[[wikipedia:And Then There Were None|And Then There Were None]]'', from which the name "U.N. Owen" used on the title of [[Flandre Scarlet]]'s boss theme was taken) and her own name.<br />
<br />
===Music CDs===<br />
;''Akyu's Untouched Score''<br />
Akyuu stars in the ''[[Akyu's Untouched Score]]'' series, which is a collection of tracks from the [[PC-98]] games. She makes comments on each CD, to which they show her taste for [[wikipedia:FM synthesis|FM synthesis]] music.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Keine Kamishirasawa===<br />
[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Keine_Kamishirasawa|Keine's article in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'']] states that [[Keine Kamishirasawa]] has a close relation with the Hieda family, and Keine uses their records for her lessons. It also reveals Akyuu is not a student at Keine's school. Keine's powers to erase and create history don't affect the Hieda Family's [[Gensokyo Chronicle]]. According to ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', Akyuu and Keine are acquainted with each other as fellow scholars.<br />
<br />
===Yukari Yakumo===<br />
Akyuu and [[Yukari Yakumo]] "first met" in ''[[Memorizable Gensokyo]]'', though their mannerisms imply that they've known each other in Akyuu's previous lives (possibly as early as Hieda no Aichi 1,200 years ago). Akyuu looks up to Yukari, referring to her as "The Sage of the [[Youkai]]" with solemn awe and respect, and she readily allows Yukari to proofread and edit the latest edition of the Gensokyo Chronicle. However, Akyuu's written article on Yukari in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' shows she's aware one can't always trust Yukari's word, and that Yukari's logic isn't the same as a [[human]]'s.<br />
<br />
===Reimu Hakurei===<br />
The Hakurei clan and Hieda clan appear to have some relations, as the [[Hakurei Shrine]] volunteered to hold a party in 1994 when Hieda no Akyuu was born in [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Bunbunmaru Newspaper|the Bunbunmaru newspaper article of her birth]]. It is unknown if [[Reimu Hakurei]] was present at or born before this time (the earliest known year in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' that Reimu's been depicted was 2001 or 2002 in [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter_22|''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'' Chapter 22]], but Reimu's age at that time isn't stated). Reimu's dialogue in ''[[Memorizable Gensokyo]]'' shows that she's been to the Hieda Residence before and is familiar with it, but has not met Akyuu in person prior to the events of that story.<br />
<br />
===Kosuzu Motoori===<br />
Due to their shared interest in books, Akyuu and [[Kosuzu Motoori]] appear to be close friends - Akyuu frequently visits [[Suzunaan]] to borrow books, and the two speak far more casually when in each others' company. Akyuu is aware that Kosuzu's continued dabbling in [[demon books]] could potentially turn her into a youkai, but does not actively try to stop her, only warning Kosuzu that becoming a youkai would make her life difficult.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Bunbunmaru Newspaper|Aya's newspaper article]] on Akyuu's birth states, "With her, there are now nine generations of the Children of Miare (Girl of Are, Boy of Are)." It thus appears that one or more of Akyuu's previous incarnations were male.<br />
*''[[Memorizable Gensokyo]]'' and ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'' show that Akyuu has several female [[human]] servants and a pet cat.<br />
*Hieda no Aichi first started writing the Gensokyo Chronicles at age 18.<br />
*A footnote in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' reveals that Akyuu is fond of [[Choujuu Gigaku]]'s music, implying that she's attended at least one of their concerts.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Renko Usami'''|宇佐見 蓮子|Usami Renko}} is a student in the [[outside world]], presumably in a college or university. She majors in physics and is very objective and logical in her approach to matters. Together with her friend, [[Maribel Hearn]], she has an interest in what would be considered the paranormal. Their club, consisting of only the two of them, describes itself as a club for necromancers. However they don't do many of the things necromancers would normally be associated with. Instead, they investigate spirits and such. Specifically they're interested in [[Gensokyo]] and seem to be among the few, or even the only, [[human]]s in the outside world who know of Gensokyo's existence.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
===Occupation===<br />
According to ''[[Changeability of Strange Dream]]'', she studies super-unified physics, specializing in "strings." According to ''[[Retrospective 53 minutes]]'', she lives in [[Kyoto]] like Maribel does, but her actual home seems to be in Tokyo.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Renko Usami''|宇佐見 蓮子}}, where both the given name and surname are actual names in Japanese. The kanji for {{nihongo||蓮子|Renko}} literally mean "lotus child" respectively; the ''-ko'' is a common suffix in Japanese that's used in female names.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Renko usually wears a black hat with a bow, white suit, and a brown dress. In [[Magical Astronomy]] and [[Trojan Green Asteroid]], she is also wearing a black shawl. She also has brown hair and often carries a book with her.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
<br />
;''Ghostly Field Club''<br />
:{{Main|Ghostly Field Club/Story|l1=Ghostly Field Club Story}}<br />
Using a photograph of the [[Netherworld]] and Renko's ability to determine location from the [[Moon]], Merry and Renko attempt to find the entrance to the Netherworld in a ghostly field.<br />
<br />
;''Changeability of Strange Dream''<br />
:{{Main|Changeability of Strange Dream/Story|l1=Changeability of Strange Dream Story}}<br />
Merry is talking with Renko about how she is visiting [[Gensokyo|a strange world]] in her dreams. It starts out nicely but begins to become nightmarish as Merry is attacked by youkai. Merry has trouble figuring out what is reality and what is just a dream, and to further complicate the issue, she presents Renko with some of the items she had obtained in her dreams. Renko realizes the truth, and in the end must decide on which will be Merry's reality.<br />
<br />
;''Retrospective 53 Minutes''<br />
:{{Main|Retrospective_53_minutes/Story|l1=Retrospective 53 Minutes Story}}<br />
In ''[[Retrospective 53 minutes]]'', Merry and Renko were on a train to Tokyo. They were looking at a simulated kaleido screen of the outside and discussing the trip, the view, and the nature of objectivity and subjectivity related to it. Renko commented on her, saying "You might be as carefree as the Tōhoku people though". The trip lasts 53 minutes.<br />
<br />
;''Magical Astronomy''<br />
:{{Main|Magical Astronomy/Story|l1=Magical Astronomy Story}}<br />
The university campus is abuzz with news of public tours to the moon. Merry and Renko talk about the world on the moon hidden from humans and eagerly try to plan their own trip to there. Merry gets a special idea.<br />
<br />
;''Trojan Green Asteroid''<br />
:{{Main|Trojan Green Asteroid/Story|l1=Trojan Green Asteroid Story}}<br />
Maribel and Renko discuss the lost micro-habitat space station [[TORIFUNE]], Merry claiming that she has seen inside it and everything is still alive. Since the station contains a shrine to Ame-no-Torifune, they travel to another such shrine and use Maribel's ability to transport themselves there through their dreams. They discover that the interior has become a dense jungle, and are attacked by a [[chimera]]. Maribel wakes up with a cut on her arm and is sent to hospital.<br />
<br />
;''Neo-traditionalism of Japan''<br />
:{{Main|Neo-traditionalism of Japan/Story|l1=Neo-traditionalism of Japan Story}}<br />
While in hospital, Maribel is diagnosed with sleepwalking and hallucinations; believing this to be a previously unknown virus, the doctors send her to the mountains for isolation treatment. By the time she's released her powers have grown stronger and she now sees visions while awake. Merry discusses Hell with Renko, but doesn't tell her that she physically travelled to Hell while in isolation. Renko tells Merry that while she was in isolation the news has been talking about discoveries of stone tools more than 25 million years old, though they were dismissed as a hoax.[[File:ThGKPartII.png|thumb|210px|Maribel and Renko's cameo in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']] Merry believes otherwise, and presents one she found herself. Merry shows Renko a vision of the underground realm where she found it, and Renko recognises the Ame-no-Sakahoko as being there. Merry calms down, no longer believing the place she saw to be Hell but the world of the gods. The two decide to find more such "Izanagi Objects" that lie unrecognised across Japan.<br />
<br />
;''Dr. Latency's Freak Report''<br />
:{{Main|Dr. Latency's Freak Report/Story|l1=Dr. Latency's Freak Report Story}}<br />
At Maribel's suggestion, the duo is planning on self-publishing a book, in which they would relate the stories of the mysterious worlds they had seen. Under the pen name of "Dr. Latency", Maribel is dictating to Renko her parts of the book, including a summary of the strange places she saw as well as her theories in her attempt to rationalize what was defying the common sense of the world.<br />
<br />
;''Dateless Bar "Old Adam"''<br />
:{{Main|Dateless Bar "Old Adam"/Story|l1=Dateless Bar "Old Adam" Story}}<br />
Renko invites Maribel to the "Old Adam" bar, a special place where old-style alcohol is being served and said to be a gathering spot for those who can see illusions. Almost everyone there seems to have read the ''Swallowstone Naturalis Historia'', the self-published fanzine Maribel and Renko made before, and believe its content entirely. The duo came here to hear the stories of the locals, hoping to find valuable information or even people that may have special abilities like them.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Maribel Hearn===<br />
Renko and [[Maribel Hearn]] are the only members of the [[Secret Sealing Club]] and both are fellow students at a university. The two are very good friends, working together to seek out other worlds, travelling by train together to Renko's home-town, discussing going to the [[moon]] together, and Maribel confiding to Renko about her travels to another world in her dreams.<br />
<br />
===Sumireko Usami===<br />
Because [[Sumireko Usami]] shares Renko's surname, has a similar appearance, and as she created the [[Secret Sealing Club]] that Renko is part of, there is likely some sort of relation between the two. However, the specifics of this connection is as yet unknown. Sumireko's profile suggests Renko descends from the former.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Regardless of the place she is at, with her ability to tell the time by looking only at the stars, she can only tell the current time in Japanese Standard Time (JST). If she wanted to know the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), she would have to do the necessary calculation.<br />
*Regardless of the presence of absence of scenery in a photograph, in ''[[Ghostly Field Club]]'' she was able to tell where a photograph was taken due to the projection of the moon in the photograph.<br />
*In both ''[[Ghostly Field Club]]'' and ''[[Changeability of Strange Dream]]'', she was the one who was late for the meeting with Merry.<br />
*Renko is one of the only characters known to live [[Outside World|outside of Gensokyo]]. As such, she has never actually met any of the other characters except Maribel Hearn, who also lives outside Gensokyo. [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]] has encountered the Secret Sealing Club on a visit to the outside world, but Renko did not seem able to see her.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Maribel Hearn'''|マエリベリー・ハーン|Maeriberii Haan}} is a university student in the near future of the [[outside world]] in [[Kyoto]], who forms the "[[Secret Sealing Club]]" with [[Renko Usami]]. She has no relation to [[Gensokyo]], but has often visited Gensokyo in her dreams.<br />
<br />
She majors in relativistive psychology and sometimes has difficulty telling the difference between dream and reality (at least, in regards to [[Gensokyo]]). She believes subjectivity to be more true than objectivity. Her clan has had the ability to see [[boundary|boundaries]] since "ancient times" and seeks to dive into another world, despite such a thing being forbidden.<br />
<br />
Together with her friend, [[Renko Usami]], she has an interest in what would be considered the paranormal. Their club, consisting of only the two of them, describes itself as a club for [[wiktionary:necromancers|necromancers]]. However, they don't do many of the things necromancers would normally be associated with. Instead, they investigate the possibility of other worlds and such. Specifically, they're interested in Gensokyo, the [[Netherworld]], and the [[Moon]], and seem to be among the few, or even the only [[human]]s from the outside world who know of Gensokyo's existence. <br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
===Ability=== <br />
;Ability to see boundaries<br />
Although she's a [[human]] from the [[outside world]], she possesses the ability to see boundaries. Per Maribel's words, she simply just does. This includes the ability to see other worlds, such as seeing the far side of the [[Moon]]. She also often visits [[Gensokyo]] in her dreams, and is sometimes chased by [[youkai]]. She can even bring back physical items.<ref name="CoSD">[[Changeability of Strange Dream/Story|Changeability of Strange Dream]]</ref> Regarding this, considering that visiting another world is an entirely different matter compared to seeing it, Renko made the consideration that perhaps her ability has advanced to become "the ability to manipulate boundaries".<br />
<br />
By the time of ''[[Trojan Green Asteroid]]'', she isn't only able to travel across boundaries to other worlds freely, but is also capable of taking Renko with her. However, in order to reach [[TORIFUNE]] she needed to connect the gate of a shrine to Ame-no-Torifune with that of the one within the station. Renko notes later in ''[[Neo-traditionalism of Japan]]'' that her power seems to be connected to shrines. The duo's trip to TORIFUNE wasn't the first time the two have gone adventuring to other worlds.<ref>[[Trojan Green Asteroid/Story|Trojan Green Astroid]] - "Every time they find a way to the other side of the boundary, they can't help but go adventuring."</ref> It's noted by Maribel in ''[[Neo-traditionalism of Japan]]'' that while visiting TORIFUNE was a reality to Maribel, it was still a dream to Renko, which is why Maribel got injured by a [[chimera]] while Renko didn't. Renko privately realizes the same conclusion, recalling that the two encountered [[youkai]] during visits to other worlds that were real to Maribel but felt like figments of her imagination to Renko.<br />
<br />
Renko notes that Maribel's power has grown rapidly stronger in ''[[Neo-traditionalism of Japan]]'', set only a few days later. She can now see beyond to the other side of boundaries and show her visions to others by putting her hands over their eyes, although the transferred visions are unstable (but still adequate). She can now travel through worlds even while awake, and consciously taking back objects from those worlds is easy for her.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Maribel comes from a lineage which has had the ability to sense the supernatural since long ago<ref name="CoSD" />. Because of this, she has the ability to see borders. Society wasn't receptive to strange people, so she had to keep her ability a secret.<ref name="NoJ">[[Neo-traditionalism of Japan/Story|Neo-traditionalism of Japan]] - "Of course that wasn't the case, but society just isn't receptive to strange people."</ref><br />
<br />
She's hated lycoris (flowers which represent death) ever since she was a child because "they're creepy".<br />
<br />
As opposed to how it has been revealed that [[Renko Usami]]'s hometown is [[wikipedia:Tokyo|Tokyo]], Maribel's hometown and home country is unclear. Since she fluently speaks [[wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]] with Renko, she probably has lived in Japan for a long time. However, she stated in ''Neo-Traditionalism of Japan'' that she doesn't have any relatives there.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
[[File:ThGKPartII.png|thumb|210px|Maribel and Renko's cameo in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
Some aspects of Maribel appear to be based on [[wikipedia:Lafcadio Hearn|Lafcadio Hearn]], one of the first writers to spread knowledge of Japanese folklore to the West, who eventually married a Japanese woman and changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo. Lafcadio wrote several stories and baiku on the Japanese and [[wikipedia:Zen|Zen]] beliefs of butterflies and dreaming as one, which is a recurring theme for Maribel. This includes a well-known translation of the story [[Wikipedia:The Dream of Akinosuke|The Dream of Akinosuke]], where a man travelled to another world in his dreams only to find out in the end that it was real, although it turns out to be a world of ants instead of [[human]]s.<br />
<br />
To add to this, several of Lafcadio's most well known works appear to correspond to Maribel's first four stories:<br />
*"In '''Ghostly''' Japan" was a collection of ghost stories by Lafcadio. [[ZUN]] stated he was trying to get a ghostly mood for ''[[Ghostly Field Club|'''Ghostly''' Field Club]]''.<br />
*"Exotics and '''Retrospectives'''" was a collection of Lafcadio's musings about Japan. It contains a large article about [[wikipedia:Mount Fuji|Mount Fuji]] as well as a discussion about Zen, musings on paintings, and about the psychology of the color blue, among various other themes such as "beauty in memory" and "literature of the dead", which are all topics and themes that show up in ''[[Retrospective 53 minutes|'''Retrospective''' 53 minutes]]''.<br />
*[[Wikipedia:Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things|Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of '''Strange''' Things]] is a collection of youkai horror stories, including "The Dream of Akinosuke". It would most likely have been what ''[[Changeability of Strange Dream|Changeability of '''Strange''' Dream]]'' may have been themed after, given that Maribel is dreaming in a [[youkai]] horror story of her own.<br />
*"The Romance of the Milky Way" may possibly be what ''[[Magical Astronomy]]'' was themed after. One of the short stories in it is called "The Mirror Maiden", and ''Magical Astronomy'' ends with Maribel about to manipulate a [[boundary]] using a reflection (in essence, Maribel is a mirror maiden). It was also Lafcadio's final work (published posthumously after his death), just as ''Magical Astronomy'' was Maribel's last story (at least for an extremely long time, until ''[[Trojan Green Asteroid]]'' was released almost six years later).<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
There's never been an official romanization for her name {{lang|ja|マエリベリー・ハーン}} (''Maeriberii Haan''), as well as the English spelling of her name is unclear, and "Maribel Hearn" is not an official spelling. Even ZUN does not seem to know about her name's English spelling nor origin<ref>[[ZUN's AWA Q&A Panel]]</ref>. Other than "[[wiktionary:Maribel|Maribel]]" that's Spanish origin (a Hebrew name that's a very rough approximation of the [[wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]]), there are also "Merryberry" and "Mæriberry" and the English "Maribelle". The [http://www.toho-motoneta.net/index.php?%A5%DE%A5%A8%A5%EA%A5%D9%A5%EA%A1%BC%A1%A6%A5%CF%A1%BC%A5%F3 Japanese toho-motoneta wiki] posits that her first name could be a corruption of "mulberry", a berry that becomes purple ({{lang|ja|紫}}, the character for Yukari's name) upon ripening. In Hikawachou, a place with a deep connection to [[Yukari Yakumo]], there is a factory called "Mulberry".<br />
<br />
As for her last name, "Hearn" proved to be a popular alternative to "Han" (rough approximation of the katakana), since "Hearn" is actually transcribed as {{lang|ja|ハーン}} (haan) in Japanese. Also, [[ZUN]] was asked in [[Doujin Barrier: The Work Called Touhou and the Fantasy of Game Creation|a high school open lecture]] about the relation between Maribel and Yukari, ZUN said that there was this [[wikipedia:Lafcadio Hearn|Lafcadio Hearn]] in the past. Furthermore, if you read Yukari's last name using the on reading, then "Yakumo" {{lang|ja|八雲}} becomes "Haun".<br />
<br />
She is called "Merry" as a pet name by [[Renko Usami]] (sometimes rendered as "Mary"). It seems that Renko is not able to pronounce "Maeriberī" well. Judging by her name, Maribel may not actually be of Japanese ethnicity.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Maribel is usually seen with blond hair, a purple dress and a white mob cap. In ''[[Changeability of Strange Dream]]'' her white cap was gone, but now has a red ribbon at her collar. In ''[[Retrospective 53 minutes]]'', she has a red bowtie around her shoes that she didn't have in ''[[Ghostly Field Club]]''. In ''[[Magical Astronomy]]'' she has her white mob cap again, but the ribbon at the collar is gone. Instead she had red shoes. On the CD illustration of ''[[Unknown Flower, Mesmerizing Journey]]'', her shoes appear to be black again and the red ribbon on her collar is back. In ''[[Trojan Green Asteroid]]'' her dress includes a belt and no ribbon. In ''[[Neo-traditionalism of Japan]]'' she wears a pale blue blouse and blue-purple skirt.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;''Ghostly Field Club''<br />
:{{Main|Ghostly Field Club/Story|l1=Ghostly Field Club Story}}<br />
Using a photograph of the [[Netherworld]] and Renko's ability to determine location from the [[Moon]], Maribel and Renko attempt to find the entrance to the Netherworld in a ghostly field.<br />
<br />
;''Changeability of Strange Dream''<br />
:{{Main|Changeability of Strange Dream/Story|l1=Changeability of Strange Dream Story}}<br />
Maribel is talking with Renko about how she is visiting [[Gensokyo|a strange world]] in her dreams. It starts out nicely but begins to become nightmarish as Maribel is attacked by [[youkai]]. Maribel has trouble figuring out what is reality and what is just a dream, and to further complicate the issue, she presents Renko with some of the items she had obtained in her dreams. Renko realizes the truth, and in the end must decide on which will be Maribel's reality.<br />
<br />
;''Retrospective 53 Minutes''<br />
:{{Main|Retrospective_53_minutes/Story|l1=Retrospective 53 Minutes Story}}<br />
In ''[[Retrospective 53 minutes]]'', Maribel and Renko were on a train to Tokyo. They were looking at a simulated kaleido screen of the outside and discussing the trip, the view, and the nature of objectivity and subjectivity related to it. Renko commented on her, saying "You might be as carefree as the Tōhoku people though." The trip lasts 53 minutes.<br />
<br />
;''Magical Astronomy''<br />
:{{Main|Magical Astronomy/Story|l1=Magical Astronomy Story}}<br />
The university campus is abuzz with news of public tours to the [[moon]]. Maribel and Renko talk about the world on the moon hidden from humans and eagerly try to plan their own trip to there. Maribel gets a special idea.<br />
<br />
;''Trojan Green Asteroid''<br />
:{{Main|Trojan Green Asteroid/Story|l1=Trojan Green Asteroid Story}}<br />
Maribel and Renko discuss the lost micro-habitat space station [[TORIFUNE]], Maribel claiming that she has seen inside it and everything is still alive. Since the station contains a shrine to Ame-no-Torifune, they travel to another such shrine and use Maribel's ability to transport themselves there through their dreams. They discover that the interior has become a dense jungle, and are attacked by a [[chimera]]. Maribel wakes up with a cut on her arm and is sent to hospital.<br />
<br />
;''Neo-traditionalism of Japan''<br />
:{{Main|Neo-traditionalism of Japan/Story|l1=Neo-traditionalism of Japan Story}}<br />
While in hospital, Maribel is diagnosed with sleepwalking and hallucinations; believing this to be a previously unknown virus, the doctors send her to the mountains for isolation treatment. By the time she's released her powers have grown stronger and she now sees visions while awake. Maribel discusses [[Hell]] with Renko, but doesn't tell her that she physically travelled to Hell while in isolation. Renko tells Maribel that while she was in isolation, the news has been talking about discoveries of stone tools more than 25 million years old, though they were dismissed as a hoax. Maribel believes otherwise, and presents one she found herself. Maribel shows Renko a vision of the underground realm where she found it, and Renko recognises the Ame-no-Sakahoko as being there. Maribel calms down, no longer believing the place she saw to be Hell but the world of the gods. The two decide to find more such "Izanagi Objects" that lie unrecognised across Japan.<br />
<br />
;''Dr. Latency's Freak Report''<br />
:{{Main|Dr. Latency's Freak Report/Story|l1=Dr. Latency's Freak Report Story}}<br />
At Maribel's suggestion, the duo is planning on self-publishing a book, in which they would relate the stories of the mysterious worlds they had seen. Under the pen name of "Dr. Latency", Maribel is dictating to Renko her parts of the book, including a summary of the strange places she saw as well as her theories in her attempt to rationalize what was defying the common sense of the world.<br />
<br />
;''Dateless Bar "Old Adam"''<br />
:{{Main|Dateless Bar "Old Adam"/Story|l1=Dateless Bar "Old Adam" Story}}<br />
Renko invites Maribel to the "Old Adam" bar, a special place where old-style alcohol is being served and said to be a gathering spot for those who can see illusions. Almost everyone there seems to have read the ''Swallowstone Naturalis Historia'', the self-published fanzine Maribel and Renko made before, and believe its content entirely. The duo came here to hear the stories of the locals, hoping to find valuable information or even people that may have special abilities like them.<br />
<br />
==Possibly Relevant Facts to the Relationship Between Maribel & Yukari==<br />
[[File:YukariPCB.png|thumb|200px|Yukari's first appearance in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'']]<br />
[[ZUN]]'s answer to the above question acknowledges a relationship between Maribel and [[Yukari Yakumo]], but he only explicitly mentioned Lafcadio Hearn. The following facts and occurrences from various official sources may or may not be relevant to discerning the nature of this relationship, if it's possible to do so.<br />
<br />
===Appearance=== <br />
Maribel and Yukari's appearances are very similar to each other. Both have the same hair color and (in most official portrayals) eye color. In addition to this, both are always depicted wearing some combination of purple and red (the opposite colors of the visible spectrum), as well as ribbons tied in the shape of an eight, which is stated to be one of the meanings of Yukari's name. Both also wear a bonnet. <br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
Both Maribel and Yukari have the ability to see boundaries. Unlike Yukari, however, Maribel is only stated to be able to see boundaries, not manipulate them. However, after Maribel told Renko about her dreams involving going to another world in ''[[Changeability of Strange Dream]]'', Renko speculates that Maribel's ability is evolving into the ability to manipulate boundaries, even though such a thing should be impossible. In later stories such as ''[[Trojan Green Asteroid]]'' and ''[[Neo-traditionalism of Japan]]'', Maribel is outright taking Renko with her to different worlds and bringing things back from them, showing that her ability has advanced far beyond merely being able to see boundaries. Her power has grown so much that "Renko couldn't help but think that Maribel was on the same level as those youkai."<br />
<br />
One of Yukari's most famous uses of her ability was to go to the [[moon]] through its reflection on the lake. At the end of ''[[Magical Astronomy]]'', Maribel also gets an idea of how to get to the moon while looking at its reflection in the lake, although the story ends there without explicitly saying what it was.<br />
<br />
===Dreams===<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', it mentions a couple speculations by various denizens of [[Gensokyo]]. One is that Yukari is a youkai from the [[outside world]] and spends her days and winters there (the time she claims to be sleeping). Another is that the outside world is Yukari's dream. It's also stated that Yukari's ability to manipulate boundaries includes the ability to enter dreams. ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' doesn't state how valid these speculations are.<br />
<br />
Maribel herself has visited Gensokyo in her dreams. In these dreams, she appears to still be Maribel and still be a [[human]], as she says she is constantly attacked by youkai and runs from them in fear (which is the point when she typically wakes up).<br />
<br />
===Time Period===<br />
Maribel is descended from a lineage which has had the ability to sense the supernatural since long ago. She herself exists in a time in the near future (when her stories are stated to take place). Yukari meanwhile has existed for at least over 1,200 years before and up to the present day (when the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' takes place).<br />
<br />
It's confirmed that travelling through time is possible in the ''Touhou Project''. [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] mentions that rarely, time is one of the things that a [[human]] can get spirited away through in [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third_Chapter|Cage in Lunatic Runagate's third chapter]]. Maribel appears to have travelled through time on at least one occasion. In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', there's an entry about a [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Memorandum|mysterious memo]] found "several hundred years ago" written by a person who believes she's wandering in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]] while she's dreaming, mentioning such things as a [[wikipedia:Global Positioning System|GPS]] and a cell phone, and even the phrase "I'm gonna tell [[Renko Usami|Renko]] about it when I wake up."<br />
<br />
Going by this, Maribel was apparently herself in Gensokyo during at least two different times hundreds of years apart. In ''[[Changeability of Strange Dream]]'', Maribel visits a scarlet mansion with a maid (presumably the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]) at one point, and at another point gets lost in a bamboo forest (of which the events where she gets lost indicates it's the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]). The memo in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' shows that the period in which she got lost was several hundreds of years before the present day, while the Scarlet Devil Mansion is known to have arrived in Gensokyo only recently.<br />
<br />
===The Visit to the Moon===<br />
<br />
Magical Astronomy ends with Maribel figuring out how to visit the moon. By Trojan Green Asteroid, it's stated she has actually gone to several fantastical new worlds by then.<br />
<br />
In Cage in Lunatic Runagate, Yukari tells Ran a story where a youkai had once visited the moon just to look around and play as an indirect way of explaining how Yukari already knew about the trap set for her. Yukari refused to say that youkai's name, but Ran notes that youkai must have been Yukari herself.<br />
<br />
The trap itself was made by creating a small discrepancy in time for the moon to become full each month which builds up over a long period of time. In Silent Sinner in Blue, Toyohime, while mocking Yukari, states that the trap takes a thousand years to be armed.<br />
<br />
===Yukari's Original Name===<br />
Yukari Yakumo is "probably" (quoted from [[Rinnosuke Morichika]]) not Yukari's original name. In ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'' chapter 26, while analyzing the meaning of Yukari's name, Rinnosuke notes that Yukari is "probably" the name she chose for herself. Yukari's article in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' supports this by mentioning records from 1,200 years ago of a youkai that seems to be Yukari Yakumo (the wording shows those records didn't have the youkai's name recorded as Yukari Yakumo). As noted above, Maribel's namesake Lafcadio Hearn changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo when he became a Japanese citizen.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Changeability of Strange Dream]]'', Maribel also worries (to an unknown degree of seriousness) that her real name was forgotten because Renko always calls her "Merry".<br />
<br />
===Statements About Gensokyo's Reality===<br />
Maribel believes that the world in her dreams (Gensokyo) is merely a dream, although it's so realistic that it leads her to panic about whether her dream is the true reality or not. Renko, however, believes that it's not a dream and that Maribel has actually visited another world. In the end, after debating on a choice which would lead Maribel to either stay in that world by convincing her it's real, or the "real" world by convincing her it's just a dream, Renko decides to tell Maribel to make her dream a reality.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Memorizable Gensokyo|Memorizable Gensokyo]]'', Yukari refers to herself as the representative of [[Gensokyo]]'s reality.<br />
<br />
===The State of Gensokyo===<br />
''Changeability of Strange Dream'''s Japanese title translates to "Changing Dreams in the Age of Science" while the synopsis includes the statement, "Two young female mediums, changing future nightmares into sweet dreams." Within the storyline where Maribel is trapped in Gensokyo, she comments, "The dreams usually end when I'm being chased by a youkai. It certainly seems like a nightmare, no matter how you see it, although..." followed by "Though, if I could change that nightmare to a pleasant dream, different from present reality..."<br />
<br />
Yukari doesn't say how she feels about the state of Gensokyo as it is. Certainly, there are many events through out Gensokyo's history leading up to its current state which might have involved or been caused by her, but most can't be absolutely 100% confirmed. [[Akyuu Hieda]], however, does comment in the afterword of ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', "These peaceful, yet stimulating times are surely a golden age for humans and youkai alike. There's no doubt that Gensokyo has become the way it is thanks to the isolation brought about by the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]]." which was "the solution endorsed by the youkai sages" (which is confirmed to include Yukari in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''). Yukari's own section also states she was a major supporter of the great barrier.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Renko Usami]]<br />
Renko Usami is the only other member of Maribel's [[Secret Sealing Club]] and a fellow student at Maribel's university. The two are very good friends, working together to seek out other worlds, travelling by train together to Renko's hometown, discussing going to the [[moon]] together, and Maribel confiding to Renko about her travels to another world in her dreams. <br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Sakuya Izayoi]]<br />
In one of her dreams, Maribel met a [[maid]] at a [[Scarlet Devil Mansion|mansion that was a deep scarlet]]. The details of the meeting are unknown, but it must have been a friendly one given that Maribel was allowed to take some cookies home with her. It's unknown if the maid was indeed Sakuya.<br />
<br />
;[[Fujiwara no Mokou]]<br />
In another one of her dreams, Maribel is rescued from a [[mouse]] or [[rabbit]] [[youkai]] by a mysterious girl surrounded by flames in the shape of a phoenix. Afraid of the girl, Maribel ran away. Although the mysterious girl is probably Mokou, it has never been explicitly confirmed.<br />
<br />
;[[Yukari Yakumo]]<br />
[[ZUN]] was asked in [[Doujin Barrier: The Work Called Touhou and the Fantasy of Game Creation|a high school open lecture]] about the relation between Maribel and Yukari. He said that there was this [[wikipedia:Lafcadio Hearn|Lafcadio Hearn]] and laughed.<br />
<br />
;[[Yuyuko Saigyouji]]<br />
Maribel encountered Yuyuko while investigating a supernatural hot spot (actually a place where ghosts come to the [[outside world]] to play). Merry didn't display any indication that she could see Yuyuko, though she appeared to feel a chill from her presence.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*One of Maribel's known theme songs is titled "Merry, the Magician" (the other is "Strange Bird of the Moon, Illusion of Mysterious Cat" that she shares with [[Renko Usami]]), but [[ZUN]] said in ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Music Columns|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s music column that her theme song is "not necessarily because Merry is a magician" and she doesn't consciously perform any magical acts in any of her stories.<br />
**However, the end of ''[[Magical Astronomy]]'' refers to Maribel as "Merry, the Magician" just as she obtains the inspiration to perform an otherworldly act. She's also similar to a [[magician]] in the professional researcher sense, because she's researching other worlds and dreams, despite her world being one where all forms of energy are supposedly unified and [[scientist|science]] has reached its peak (according to Renko). In essence, magic is the only thing left to discover. Magic and science share many parallels, and Maribel is a person researching into this phenomenom in a world where science can't be researched further. Thus "Merry, the Magician" is a fitting moniker for her.<br />
*The actual name of Renko and Merry's club is "The [[Secret Sealing Club]]", not "Ghostly Field Club", as stated in ''[[Ghostly Field Club]]'' (which is a story about their club investigating a ghostly field).<br />
*In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', ZUN mentions in [[Kaguya Houraisan]]'s [[Imperishable Night/Spell Cards/Stage 6B#Spell Card 183|"End of Imperishable Night -Half Past 2-"]] spell card commentary that this is the time right after when the gate to after-life world has opened. He thus implies that Maribel and Renko possibly did succeed in finding the entrance to the [[Netherworld]] in ''Ghostly Field Club'', but all he has to say about it are "So, what did Renko and Merry see, at all?"<br />
*Merry's the only [[human]] from the [[outside world]] confirmed to know the true nature of the [[Lunar Capital]]. She also has apparently looked at the true [[Moon]] without going mad, something which few humans can do.{{Citation needed}}<br />

'''Watatsuki no Yorihime''' ({{lang|ja|綿月 依姫}}) is a [[Lunarian]] princess who along with her sister [[Watatsuki no Toyohime|Toyohime]] is charge of the Lunarian Defense Corps; she appears to be primarily responsible for training the moon rabbits.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Yorihime is the more serious younger sister of Toyohime, and is one of [[Eirin Yagokoro]]'s self-proclaimed 'successors'. She seems to be a little bit tsundere, since in [[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]], she says she went to [[Eientei]] just to make sure Toyohime actually returned, though she really just followed her there because she didn't want to be left alone.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Summoning the power of the gods<br />
[[File:SSIB13YorihimePowers.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yorihime's powers in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''.]]<br />
Like [[Reimu Hakurei]], Yorihime is able to channel the power of the gods to do her bidding. However, her abilities in this area far outclass those of Reimu, who, at the time of ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', was only just learning how to do it. With this power, she is able to cause various convenient effects depending on the god she has summoned:<br />
*Caused lightning with the power of Honoikazuchi to attack [[Sakuya Izayoi]]. <br />
*Dissipated Sakuya's knives through Kanayama-hiko no Mikoto's power, then rematerialized them to attack the maid in a combined attack with Honoikazuchi's lightning.<br />
*Although it wasn't directly shown and the details are unknown, she attacked [[Marisa Kirisame]] with the power of Amatsu-Mikaboshi.<br />
*Summoned Ishikori-dome no Mikoto to reflect one of Marisa Kirisame's lasers with the goddess' divine mirror (the [[wikipedia:Yata_no_Kagami|Yata Mirror]]).<br />
*Calling Ame-no-Uzume into her body, she became immune to [[Remilia Scarlet]]'s bullets embued with the power of the night. The bullets wouldn't hit Yorihime even if she actively tried to touch them.<br />
*Instantly defeated Remilia with a sun-based attack powered by Amaterasu Oomikami.<br />
*Summoned Izunome to purify [[Reimu Hakurei]]'s bullets from the calamitic power of Oomagatsumi.<br />
After defeating Sakuya, Yorihime herself claims to have a myriad of techniques, and that if she was to only use one or two per battle she could win another 39.000.000 times.<br />
<br />
;Miscellaneous<br />
Yorihime seems very proficient in swordmanship and shows extremely fast reaction speed. She easily cut down several of Marisa's danmaku, and reacted with blinding speed to the witch's ''Final Spark'' laser. Furthermore, when Marisa used ''Double Spark'' against her, Yorihime was able to prepare herself and simulaneously summon Ishikori-dome no Mikoto before any of the two lasers reached her.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] - Chapter 15</ref><br />
<br />
At the time of [[Symposium of Post-mysticism]], ZUN commented that Yorihime was too strong to be in a game, and he could only put her in a comic since in a game one should be able to defeat all the bosses.<ref name="SoPM interview">[[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Interview]]</ref> However, he referred to [[Hecatia Lapislazuli]], who was a boss in [[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]], as "completely past the level of anyone in [[Gensokyo]] or the [[Lunar Capital]]".<ref>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom interview with ZUN|Strange Creators of Outer World - Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom interview with ZUN]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Yorihime owns a sword and is extremely skilled at using it.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
The chosen names for the Watatsuki Sisters make a direct reference to the family history of the Dragon God, who can be referred to alternatively as Ryujin or ‘Watatsumi’. Individually, the sisters may refer to the Dragon God’s daughters, [http://www.goddessaday.com/southeast-asian/toyotama-hime Toyotama-hime] and her younger sister Tamayori-hime. Considering the events that were revealed in [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third Chapter|Chapter 3 of ''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'']], and that the Dragon Palace and the [[Lunar Capital]] are confirmed to be the the same place,<ref name="SoPM interview"/> it can be rumored that many of the legends about the Dragon Palace in fact took place on the Moon.<br />
===Design===<br />
Light purple hair tied into a ponytail with a yellow ribbon; brown eyes. Wears a dark red dress with a strap on the right over a white short-sleeved blouse, and a loose belt with a gold sword-shaped buckle.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;''Silent Sinner in Blue''<br />
:{{Main|Silent Sinner in Blue}}<br />
<br />
After being warned by [[Eirin Yagokoro|Eirin]] of the invasion, she intercepts and fights [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]], [[Marisa Kirisame|Marisa]], [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya]], and [[Remilia Scarlet|Remilia]] after their spaceship crashes on the Moon. She defeats all four of them after only having just learned how the spellcard rules worked, though Reimu gave her a bit of trouble. Afterwards she requests Reimu's help in helping clear her of suspected treason.<br />
<br />
;''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth''<br />
:{{Main|Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth}}<br />
<br />
In chapter 25, she and Toyohime visits [[Eirin Yagokoro]] at [[Eientei]]; during her stay, she trained both [[Reisen]] and [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]].<br />

Her older sister, while somewhat aloof, she and Toyohime appear to hold their relationships in high regard.<br />
;[[Eirin Yagokoro]] <br />
Distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son<ref name="CiLR1">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter]]</ref>), Eirin was also their teacher, whom they treat with much respect and admiration, despite Eirin being a fugitive.<br />

Her former pet.<br />
;[[Reisen]] <br />
Her current pet. <br />
;[[Moon Capital Gate Guards]] <br />
They are the Gatekeepers of the Moon Capital.<br />
<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*In ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', [[Tewi Inaba]] indirectly knocked out Yorihime using a pitfall, making Tewi the only character to defeat her; although, both Reisens took the credit. Because it wasn't a direct fight but rather by pure chance, Yorihime is still undefeated in a proper match. More importantly, she – along with [[VIVIT]] from the ''[[Seihou Project]]'' – are thought to be the only ever known characters to defeat [[Reimu Hakurei]], who hasn't yet been defeated by the [[shrine maiden]]. <br />
*She and her sister are two of four characters so far known to be/to have been married. The others are [[Seiga Kaku]] and [[Junko]].<br />
*Her ability to use a sword in combat is chiefly unknown due to her preference to summon gods, but she has enough skill/strength to block Marisa's Master Spark.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Watatsuki no Toyohime'''|綿月 豊姫}} is a [[Lunarian]] princess who along with her sister [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] is in charge of the Lunarian Defense Corps.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Toyohime is Yorihime's older sister and one of the Lunarian princesses. She used to be [[Eirin Yagokoro]]'s pupil. Though she has a gentle personality, she possesses immense power. She also likes the peaches that grow on the [[Moon]], but doesn't get much exercise. Her responsibilities are to manage the rabbits that they use as emissaries, but it isn't very time-intensive, so she often joins Yorihime while she trains the moon rabbits.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Good fortune<br />
According to Eirin, Toyohime's good luck is so great that she never had to face any trouble in her life.<ref name="CiLR1">[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter]]</ref><br />
;Manipulating the boundary between the scientific and fantastic versions of the Moon<br />
This allows Toyohime to maintain the barrier that protects the Moon. She also killed one of Yukari's crow shikigami by sending it in the airless scientific side.<br />
;Linking "the sea and the mountains"<br />
While the description of this ability seems rather specific, it supposedly allows Toyohime to go "anywhere she likes".<ref>'''''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Interview]]:''''' Toyohime has "the ability to connect mountains and seas", which is an ability to move anywhere she likes. Most importantly, she can move between the Lunar Capital and Earth, with Gensokyo being the "mountain" and the moon being the "sea".</ref> With the Moon being the "sea" and Gensokyo the "mountain", she was able to send a letter to Eirin, throw a stone on the Earth, and to instantly move herself and [[Reisen]] into Gensokyo. This makes Toyohime, along with Yukari, one of the few characters able to travel freely between the Earth and the Moon (although Yukari requires lunar phases).<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Toyohime carries a fan that is capable of great destruction. When talking to Yukari in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]], she claims that it can cause a wind that would instantly purify the entire forest to atomic level, and that it is supposed to be among the most advanced lunarian weapons.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] -Chapter 18]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Long ago, Toyohime's master, [[Eirin Yagokoro]], explained to Toyohime why spiriting away happened. Everything is decided on probability, and thus possible events will always happen. This is even how the Lunarians came to the Moon in the first place. Toyohime instantly understood her master's lesson, and from then on, was one of the few people who could connect the Moon and the Earth.<br />
<br />
Due to being a student of her master's, she and her sister [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] were the primary candidates for taking over as leaders of the Lunar Emisaries after Eirin had abandoned the moon over one thousand years ago. Since then, they've been watching over the Earth to keep the Lunar Capital safe. While it was officially their job to find Eirin and bring her back, they eventually gave up on the matter, and never held any ill will towards their teacher.<br />
<br />
However, eventually the Lunar Capital had gone under high alert due to several unsettling events. The first Lunar War where [[human]]s landed on the moon a few decades ago concluded without major incident (although it did cause their pet, [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]], to flee to the Earth). Recently, however, several events such as the mysterious disappearance of the [[wikipedia:Flag of the United States|American flag]] from the Near Side of the Moon, reports that someone was calling upon the gods without the proper rites, and the Earth's latest plans to go to the Moon via a project named after an actual prisoner on the Moon has caused all sorts of rumours that there was a traitor in the Lunar Capital. Due to their lack of effort in tracking down Eirin as well as their connections to her, and Yorihime's ability to call upon the gods, the Watatsuki sisters became the primary suspects.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
The chosen names for the Watatsuki Sisters make a direct reference to the family history of the Dragon God, who can be referred to alternatively as Ryujin or 'Watatsumi'. Individually, the sisters may refer to the Dragon God's daughters, Toyotama-hime[http://www.goddessaday.com/southeast-asian/toyotama-hime] and her younger sister Tamayori-hime. Considering the events that were revealed in [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third Chapter|Chapter 3 of ''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'']], and that the Dragon Palace and the [[Lunar Capital]] are confirmed to be the the same place,<ref>[[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Interview]]</ref> it can be rumored that many of the legends about the Dragon Palace in fact took place on the Moon.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Long, flowing, sandy blonde hair and golden eyes. Wears a dark blue dress with a strap on the left over a white long-sleeved blouse, a loose belt with a gold mirror-shaped buckle, and a white bonnet with a red ribbon on it when she goes outdoors. Apparently, [[ZUN]] gave vague descriptions about weapons to [[Aki★Eda]], so her drawing Toyohime with a fan as signature item is pretty much improvisation. <ref>'''''[[Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Interview]]''''': I didn't explain the weapons to Aki★Eda so the depiction was super vague (laugh). Her sister Yorihime is a more ordinary character.</ref><br />
<br />

Distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son<ref name="CiLR1" />), Eirin was also their teacher, whom they treat with much respect and admiration, despite Eirin being a fugitive. Of note is that Toyohime and Yorihime never refer to Eirin Yagokoro as "Eirin", but only as "Lady Yagokoro", as "Eirin" is not her true Lunarian name.<br />
<br />
;[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] <br />
She was her former pet. They seem to miss their former pet dearly. Reisen is only "Reisen" to the Watatsuki sisters, without her nicknames of Udongein Inaba that Eirin and Kaguya later gave her.<br />
<br />
;Reisen <br />
[[Reisen]] is now her current pet. They treat her just as well.<br />
<br />
;[[Moon Capital Gate Guards]] <br />
They're the Gatekeepers of the Moon Capital.<br />
<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*It's implied she and her sister were the ones primarily responsible for thwarting Yukari's invasion of the Moon long ago, as Yukari specifically points out it's "the Watsukis" whom she's delighting on taking revenge on in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' chapter 21, while also saying in ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'''s last chapter that she purposefully executed her revenge in a way that other Lunarians weren't affected by it, but this is not confirmed. Toyohime doesn't react when [[Ran Yakumo]] calls Yukari "Lady Yukari" by name in front of her in Chapter 19 despite revealing in ''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'' that Yukari's very notorious for her invasion of the Moon one-thousand years ago, possibly indicating personal familiarity.<br />
*She and her sister are two of four characters so far known to be/to have been married. The others are [[Seiga Kaku]] and [[Junko]].<br />

While the description of this ability seems rather specific, it supposedly allows Toyohime to go "anywhere she likes".<ref>'''''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Interview]]:''''' Toyohime has "the ability to connect mountains and seas", which is an ability to move anywhere she likes. Most importantly, she can move between the Lunar Capital and Earth, with Gensokyo being the "mountain" and the moon being the "sea".</ref> With the Moon being the "sea" and Gensokyo the "mountain", she was able to send a letter to Eirin, throw a stone on the Earth, and to instantly move herself and [[Reisen]] into Gensokyo. This makes Toyohime, along with Yukari, one of the few characters able to travel freely between the Earth and the Moon (although Yukari requires lunar phases).<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Toyohime carries a fan that is capable of great destruction. When talking to Yukari in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]], she claims that it can cause a wind that would instantly purify the entire forest to atomic level, and that it is supposed to be among the most advanced lunarian weapons.<ref>[[Silent Sinner in Blue]] -Chapter 18]]</ref><br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Long ago, Toyohime's master, [[Eirin Yagokoro]], explained to Toyohime why spiriting away happened. Everything is decided on probability, and thus possible events will always happen. This is even how the Lunarians came to the Moon in the first place. Toyohime instantly understood her master's lesson, and from then on, was one of the few people who could connect the Moon and the Earth.<br />
<br />
Due to being a student of her master's, she and her sister [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]] were the primary candidates for taking over as leaders of the Lunar Emisaries after Eirin had abandoned the moon over one thousand years ago. Since then, they've been watching over the Earth to keep the Lunar Capital safe. While it was officially their job to find Eirin and bring her back, they eventually gave up on the matter, and never held any ill will towards their teacher.<br />
<br />
However, eventually the Lunar Capital had gone under high alert due to several unsettling events. The first Lunar War where [[human]]s landed on the moon a few decades ago concluded without major incident (although it did cause their pet, [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]], to flee to the Earth). Recently, however, several events such as the mysterious disappearance of the [[wikipedia:Flag of the United States|American flag]] from the Near Side of the Moon, reports that someone was calling upon the gods without the proper rites, and the Earth's latest plans to go to the Moon via a project named after an actual prisoner on the Moon has caused all sorts of rumours that there was a traitor in the Lunar Capital. Due to their lack of effort in tracking down Eirin as well as their connections to her, and Yorihime's ability to call upon the gods, the Watatsuki sisters became the primary suspects.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
The chosen names for the Watatsuki Sisters make a direct reference to the family history of the Dragon God, who can be referred to alternatively as Ryujin or 'Watatsumi'. Individually, the sisters may refer to the Dragon God's daughters, Toyotama-hime[http://www.goddessaday.com/southeast-asian/toyotama-hime] and her younger sister Tamayori-hime. Considering the events that were revealed in [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Third Chapter|Chapter 3 of ''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'']], and that the Dragon Palace and the [[Lunar Capital]] are confirmed to be the the same place,<ref>[[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Interview]]</ref> it can be rumored that many of the legends about the Dragon Palace in fact took place on the Moon.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Long, flowing, sandy blonde hair and golden eyes. Wears a dark blue dress with a strap on the left over a white long-sleeved blouse, a loose belt with a gold mirror-shaped buckle, and a white bonnet with a red ribbon on it when she goes outdoors. Apparently, [[ZUN]] gave vague descriptions about weapons to [[Aki★Eda]], so her drawing Toyohime with a fan as signature item is pretty much improvisation. <ref>'''''[[Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Interview]]''''': I didn't explain the weapons to Aki★Eda so the depiction was super vague (laugh). Her sister Yorihime is a more ordinary character.</ref><br />

==Relationships==<br />
;[[Watatsuki no Yorihime]]<br />
She and Yorihime appear to hold their relationships in high regard.<br />
<br />
;[[Eirin Yagokoro]] <br />
Distantly related to Eirin through marriage to their unnamed husbands (one of the Watatsuki sisters was the wife of Eirin's grandnephew, while the other one was married to their son<ref name="CiLR1" />), Eirin was also their teacher, whom they treat with much respect and admiration, despite Eirin being a fugitive. Of note is that Toyohime and Yorihime never refer to Eirin Yagokoro as "Eirin", but only as "Lady Yagokoro", as "Eirin" is not her true Lunarian name.<br />
<br />
;[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] <br />
She was her former pet. They seem to miss their former pet dearly. Reisen is only "Reisen" to the Watatsuki sisters, without her nicknames of Udongein Inaba that Eirin and Kaguya later gave her.<br />
<br />
;Reisen <br />
[[Reisen]] is now her current pet. They treat her just as well.<br />
<br />
;[[Moon Capital Gate Guards]] <br />
They're the Gatekeepers of the Moon Capital.<br />
<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*It's implied she and her sister were the ones primarily responsible for thwarting Yukari's invasion of the Moon long ago, as Yukari specifically points out it's "the Watsukis" whom she's delighting on taking revenge on in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' chapter 21, while also saying in ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'''s last chapter that she purposefully executed her revenge in a way that other Lunarians weren't affected by it, but this is not confirmed. Toyohime doesn't react when [[Ran Yakumo]] calls Yukari "Lady Yukari" by name in front of her in Chapter 19 despite revealing in ''Cage in Lunatic Runagate'' that Yukari's very notorious for her invasion of the Moon one-thousand years ago, possibly indicating personal familiarity.<br />
*She and her sister are two of four characters so far known to be/to have been married. The others are [[Seiga Kaku]] and [[Junko]].<br />

{{nihongo|'''Reisen'''|レイセン}} is a [[Rabbit|lunar rabbit]] from the [[Touhou Bougetsushou]] series. <br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
[[File:SSIBReiSen2.png|thumb|200px|left|Reisen "vanishing" in ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'']]<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;[[Moon rabbit]] abilities<br />
Moon rabbits can send "ESP waves" and receive them with their ears, forming a sort of psychic network where they share feelings and rumors.<br />
;Vanishing(?)<br />
In Chapter 2 of ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'', Reisen is shown to vanish from Reimu's sight and appear behind her. It is unclear whether this is a display of speed, teleportation or some other ability.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
===Name===<br />
{{nihongo|"Reisen"|レイセン}} is in fact not her original name, but is the name she received when she became the Watatsuki sisters' pet. Her original name has not been revealed. The unofficial romaji "Reisen" is used to distinguish the name from {{nihongo||鈴仙|reisen}}, used in [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]'s name, through different spelling with identical pronunciation.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Reisen has short hair, light purple, and red eyes. White fluffy rabbit ears, lacking the button-like decorations normally worn by members of the Lunar Defense Corps. Wears a black business suit over her shirt, similar to [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]], and a gray skirt.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;Silent Sinner in Blue<br />
:{{Main|Silent Sinner in Blue}}<br />
Reisen fled to Earth from the Moon early in the events of ''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]''. She was nursed back to health by [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]] after being injured by space debris during her travel. Because of this, [[Eirin Yagokoro]] was able to learn of her presence. Since Reisen still had attachments to the moon, Eirin sent her back along with a letter for the Watatsuki sisters, warning them of [[Yukari Yakumo]]'s imminent invasion. Since fleeing to Earth was a crime, she was sentenced to live as the Watatsuki sisters' pet where she was then given the name Reisen, the same name as their former pet (who is currently known as [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]).<br />
<br />
Reisen later appears alongside [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] when she confronts [[Yukari Yakumo]], and then appears again attempting to deliver a letter to [[Eirin Yagokoro]] before being confronted by Tewi.<br />
<br />
;Cage in Lunatic Runagate<br />
:{{Main|Cage in Lunatic Runagate}}<br />
In the [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/First Chapter|first chapter]] of ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'', [[Eirin Yagokoro]] spots Reisen's [[Lunar Veil]] as she travels to Earth. Shortly afterwards, [[Reimu Hakurei]] arrives claiming to have found an injured [[rabbit]], but none of [[Tewi]]'s rabbits are missing. Connecting the dots, Eirin convinces Reimu that the rabbit is actually a [[fox]] or [[tanuki]] trying to trick her, before making preparations to meet up with Reisen herself.<br />
<br />
Reisen later appears as the viewpoint character of [[Cage in Lunatic Runagate/Sixth Chapter|chapter six]] where she reminisces on the events which lead her to run away from the moon, as well as the new things she's been experiencing under the Watatsuki sisters' tutelage. Reisen observes a battle between [[Marisa Kirisame]] and [[Watatsuki no Yorihime]], after which Yorihime sends her to prepare a letter to Eirin. Unable to find [[Toyohime]] at the Watatsukis' mansion, Reisen writes the letter by herself. However, after leaving the mansion she somehow encounters Toyohime in a dark forest, apparently on Earth, and is told to "watch what's about to happen".<br />
<br />
;Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth<br />
:{{Main|Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth}}<br />
<br />
In ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', she appeared alongside the Watatsuki sisters during their visit to Earth. Yorihime forces both Reisen and Reisen Udongein Inaba to participate in training sessions.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Star Sapphire'''|スターサファイア|Suta Safaia}} is a [[fairy]] and one of the members of the '''[[Three Fairies of Light]]''', along with [[Sunny Milk]] and [[Luna Child]]. She currently lives in a tree close to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] with her two partners. She often pranks humans along with her two partners, using her ability to sense animate objects from a distance to her advantage.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Star first appeared in the manga ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'''s first work ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'' as one of the three main protagonists, and had the same role throughout the sub-series. [[ZUN]] stated that the reason why he chose Star, Sunny, and Luna as main characters is because the three of them have little fighting ability, yet are much more outgoing than Rinnosuke, making them ideal characters for introducing various aspects of [[Gensokyo]]'s daily life that [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] does not participate in.{{reference needed|ZUN's statement}} She later made an appearance in a game as a [[boss]] in ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' and a background appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''.<br />
<br />
Star, much like her partners, isn't very powerful. Her power is to sense animate objects from afar, usually allowing her to know when trouble is coming or when to act during a prank. Unlike her two partners, her power does not weaken at any time, as stars are always present in the sky, even during the day. During ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'', Luna moves from her residence in the [[Forest of Magic]] to a new home near to the [[Hakurei Shrine]].<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Star is often described as having more common sense than other fairies, being calmer, often avoiding fights, and letting her two partners getting caught as she is making her getaway. As her two other partners, she is rather fond of alcohol.<br />
<br />
Unlike her partners, she has the most bizarre sense of perception. Sometimes, things that would cause Sunny and Luna to panic, such as an imminent incident or seeing a mountain of human skulls, Star seems to find fun and exciting.<br />
<br />
Just as bizarre are also her interests, which include examining strange rocks, or keeping a mushroom bonsai tree as a hobby.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
:;Detection of moving things<br />
Like a radar, she is able to sense things that exist from afar. In ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', it became "moving things", but according to her speech and conduct as well as [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] Three Fairies Version, she is "only able to know moving things, and unrelated to being among that, living things" (for living things, she isn't able to make distinctions other than size).<br />
<br />
There hasn't been a depiction of concretely what range she is able to grasp things, but if she isn't preoccupied with other things, it seems that she's able to grasp a reasonably wide range, but it also seems that if there are a very large number of living things, then the important information gets buried. Also, she wasn't able to recognise [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] who was invoking her ability.<br />
<br />
There's hardly any instance where this ability caused direct damage in mischief, but as it's support orientated, in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', it was even written that "when she is on observation duty, she can be a threat." If Star were not to slack off, then the the three fairies' pranks would become quite nasty. That is, if she doesn't slack off.<br />
<br />
As for recovery from injury – different from [[Sunny Milk]] and [[Luna Child]]'s case – she isn't affected at all by the weather and constantly recovers at ease. As for how she slacks off, different from the other [[youkai]] and [[shinigami]] who are beaten, she uses her ability and skilfully slacks off.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS star.jpg|thumb|150px|Star, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Star Sapphire''|スターサファイア}}. Star's name is based on the element which she draws power from: the stars. Her name may also relate to the [http://gs.flir.com/surveillance-products/star-safire/star-safire-III/ "Star SAFIRE® series"], an imaging gyro-stabiliser used for detection. Probably a coincidence, there's a villain known as [[Wikipedia:Star Sapphire (comics)|Star Sapphire]] in [[Wikipedia:DC Comics|DC Comics]].<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Star's appearance goes through some changes throughout the series. At first, in ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'', she's described having long black hair, a blue ribbon attached to it, and gray eyes, as well as butterfly-shaped wings. She wears a white and blue dress, the top part being mostly white, having a blue shoulder cloth, and the bottom part being blue. She has long sleeves and a blue piece of cloth attached around her waist, attaching as a ribbon in her back. She also wears boots.<br />
<br />
From ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' onwards, Star's hair is brown, and her eyes are now yellow. She wears a frilly blue dress, having a white shoulder cloth and white long sleeves. She also has a small blue string attached as a ribbon at neck-level. In ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', her dress is depicted as having stars on it, but these don't appear in her later appearances in ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'' or ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]''.<br />

In ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'', during New Year's eve, Sunny Milk decides that she wants to bond all the fairies together to cause an incident. Sunny then crushes Cirno's home, along with her partners including Luna who follows Sunny's plan and leaving a flag showcasing images of their faces to show their superiority. Afterwards, Cirno sets on sending them a declaration of war, but the fairy trio believes that it's from the [[human]]s and train for the months to come everyday, believing they would soon fight [[Reimu Hakurei]].<br />
<br />
The next spring, they are confronted by [[Cirno]], who was reminded by the fairies flag that they had destroyed her house months prior, resulting in the [[Fairy Wars|Fairy War]].<br />

{{nihongo|'''Luna Child'''|ルナチャイルド|Runa Chairudo}} is a [[fairy]] and one of the members of the '''[[Three Fairies of Light]]''', composed of her, [[Sunny Milk]], and [[Star Sapphire]]. She currently lives in a tree close to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] with her two partners. She often pranks [[human]]s along with her two partners, using her ability to mute sound around her to her advantage.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Luna first appeared in the manga ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'''s first work ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'' as one of the three protagonists, and had the same role throughout the sub-series. [[ZUN]] stated that the reason why he chose Luna, Sunny, and Star as main characters is because the three of them have little fighting ability, yet are much more outgoing than [[Rinnosuke Morichika]], making them ideal characters for introducing various aspects of Gensokyo's daily life that Rinnosuke doesn't participate in.{{reference needed|ZUN's statement}} She later made an appearance in a game as a [[boss]] in ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' and a background appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''.<br />
<br />
Luna, much like her partners, is not very powerful. Her power allows her to mute sound around her, although, when used in tandem with Sunny's power to refract light, they can be a powerful stealthy pair. Luna, much like Sunny Milk, gets weaker when her natural element, the moon, isn't present in the sky. During ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'', Luna moves from her residence in the [[Forest of Magic]] to a new home near to the [[Hakurei Shrine]].<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Luna is often described as clumsy and maybe even stupid at times, and is as curious as other [[Fairy|fairies]]. She has a rare characteristic for a fairy: she loves coffee beans and is sometimes seen stealing some from [[human]]s, and she is also fond of alcohol. In the mangas, she's always tripping over something – even over nothing. Fairies are generally considered to have a quite different mindset compared to [[human]]s due to their unique nature. However, Luna's apparently depicted a bit different to the usual fairies: She tends to read books and newspaper, and has a habit of a sceptical and rather logical thinking. Her common sense is more closer to humans in this regard. As result, the "stupid" she's commonly associated with is a lack of practical smarts, not book knowledge.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
:;Muting (the surrounding) sound<br />
[[File:ELNDCH1LunaMuting.jpg|thumb|200px|Luna, muting rain in ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'']]<br />
[[File:SBND16LunaMuting.jpg|thumb|200px|Luna, muting an area in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'']]<br />
Luna is able to mute all the sounds around her. It is self-styled as "the ultimate fairy weapon in hide-and-seek". In hide-and-seek, it might seem that her ability is weaker than [[Sunny Milk]] or [[Star Sapphire]] – but, just like Sunny who manipulates vision, it is an ability suited for mischief, and it is not simply a specified range, and as she is able to consciously mute only a specified sound, it has high usefulness. However, since she also uses this ability even when it isn't necessary to mute sound, there are also instances of appealing for existence.<br />
<br />
In chapter 1 of ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', it was said "she is not able to erase anything other than sound, so it is the most disadvantageous," but however it is conceived, Star Sapphire who can't grasp anything other than position is more disadvantageous. Also in the manga, the ability was changed to "ability to manipulate moonlight", but the substance of the ability has not changed. Different from Sunny, there has not been a depiction where she manipulated moonlight.<br />
<br />
Also, by bathing in moonlight, she is able to quickly recover her wounds. Since she receives the influence of moonlight, the condition of the moon gives forth the quality of her ability.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, in ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'', any ability has no effect under [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]'s ability to manipulate wavelengths. As opposed to Sunny and Luna who manipulate wavelengths in a very limited manner, it can be said that Reisen manipulates wavelengths in a more comprehensive manner.<br />
<br />
Previously upon meeting [[Yukari Yakumo]], she received advice regarding the true nature of the power of the "light of the moon", but due to tension, she did not hear anything but half of the talk, and for some reason she forgot (or was made to forget) the contents of the talk.<ref name="Eastern and Little Nature Deity"> [[Eastern and Little Nature Deity/Fairy of the Moon]]</ref> Because of that, she probably wants to meet again the [[youkai]] she met at that time – Yukari; in actuality, she met her several times afterwards. Yukari said "the power of the light of the moon is even superior to the light of the sun. A peaceful power, the colour of the heart, sorrows, the light of the moon is a light that does not bewilder anything. Come now, wake up. Why do you think you are treated well by the other light of the sun and the light of the stars?" <br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:PMiSS_luna.jpg|thumb|200px|Luna, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Luna Child''|ルナチャイルド|Runa Chairudo}}. Luna's name is based on the element which she draws power from: the [[moon]]. Her name also has a few official English translations, such as "Luna Child" itself<ref name="SAC" />, "Luna''r'' Child"<ref name="CompAce" /> and "Lunarchild" <ref name="PMiSSLuna" />. The data files in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' furthers the use of "Luna", although this is likely the use of romanising.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Luna Child's depiction remains the same throughout her presence in the series, although she receives a few minor clothing alterations. In ''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'', Luna has red eyes and yellow hair, arranged into six princess curls on both sides of her head, as well as a pair of wings. She wears a white and black dress having long sleeves and a few black ribbons at the front of her dress, along with a big one below her neck and an even bigger one in her back. She also has a white shoulder cloth having black outlines, and a white beret with black ribbons attached on its sides. She wears a pair of slippers as well. When reading books, she's sometimes depicted with reading glasses.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'', Luna's long sleeves are now short and puffy. In ''[[Fairy Wars]]'', the lunar cycle is represented at the bottom of Luna's dress, although in her later appearances in ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'' and ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', it isn't present.<br />

In ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'', during New Year's eve, Sunny Milk decides that she wants to bond all the fairies together to cause an incident. Sunny then crushes Cirno's home, along with her partners including Luna who follows Sunny's plan and leaving a flag showcasing images of their faces to show their superiority. Afterwards, Cirno sets on sending them a declaration of war, but the fairy trio believes that it's from the [[human]]s and train for the months to come everyday, believing they would soon fight [[Reimu Hakurei]].<br />
<br />
The next spring, they are confronted by [[Cirno]], who was reminded by the fairies flag that they had destroyed her house months prior, resulting in the [[Fairy Wars|Fairy War]].<br />

The {{nihongo|'''Three Fairies of Light'''|光の三妖精|Hikari no San-Yousei}}, or the {{nihongo|'''Three Fairies'''|三妖精|San-Yousei}} for short, also called the '''Three Mischievous Fairies''', are a small group of [[fairy|fairies]] composed of [[Sunny Milk]], [[Luna Child]], and [[Star Sapphire]]. They are known for causing mischief to [[human]]s by playing pranks on them using their powers. They are the protagonists of the ''[[Touhou Sangetsusei]]'' manga series, and the antagonists of ''[[Fairy Wars]]''.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
[[File:FS Three Fairies of Light.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The Three Fairies of Light in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
The "three lights" refer to the sun, moon, and stars, the most clearly visible lights in the sky. It is from these lights that the fairies derive their power and after which they have been named. Many of their [[spell card]]s reflect how they derive their power. These three lights are also referred to in the name of work in which they appeared; The title of the manga, {{nihongo|"Sangetsusei"|三月精}} is a wordplay, which loosely means "sun, moon, stars" respectively based on pronunciation, whereas "三精/Sansei/Three Sprites" used to be the old name for these three heavenly bodies put together. {{nihongo||三|san}} can also mean {{nihongo||サン|san|Katakana transliteration of English "sun"}}, {{nihongo||月|getsu|"moon"}} stays the same and {{nihongo||精|sei|"fairy"}} shares the same sound as {{nihongo||星|sei|"star"}}.<ref>''[[Eastern and Little Nature Deity]]'': [[Shanghai Alice Correspondence Three Fairies Version/Volume 5|Shanghai Alice Correspondence Three Fairies Version - Volume 5]]</ref><br />

{{nihongo|'''{{H:title|Tokiko|This name is unofficial.}}'''|朱鷺子}} is a minor, unnamed character who only appears in ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]''. She is probably just one of the many weak [[youkai]] in [[Gensokyo]], but seems to value and enjoy books. <br />
==General Information==<br />
<br />
Tokiko, a technically unnamed character, appears in the first chapter of ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', where she is beaten up by [[Reimu Hakurei]] while trying to read a book. It is presumed that she is a youkai because of the fact that she has wings, but other than that, nothing is known about her.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
Her true name is unknown, but {{nihongo|''Tokiko''|朱鷺子}} is a popular name for her among the fanbase. {{nihongo|''toki''|朱鷺}} means "crested ibis", a bird which she resembles in appearance and {{nihongo|''ko''|子}} means "child" and is a general-purpose kanji for girls' names. Also, she was referred to on the Japanese [[wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] on the [[wikipedia:ja:東方香霖堂 〜 Curiosities of Lotus Asia.#その他の登場人物|Curiosities of Lotus Asia]] article as the {{nihongo|"Unnamed Book-Reading [[Youkai]]"|名無し本読み妖怪|Nanashi hon yomi yōkai}} and later as {{nihongo|"The Youkai Who Read a Book"|本を読んでいた妖怪|Hon wo yonde ita yōkai}}. "Unnamed Book-Reading Youkai" is, however, still a popular name to refer to her.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', Tokiko has white hair that is partly blue, red eyes, and wears a black dress with blue trim. She also appears to have wings on her back, small horns on her head, and what appears to be a single wing on the rear of her head, possibly meant to represent the ibis' crest on the back of its head.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;''Curiosities of Lotus Asia''<br />
:{{Main|Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 01|l1=Curiosities of Lotus Asia Chapter 1}}<br />
In ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'', Tokiko was beaten and robbed by [[Reimu Hakurei]], who then sold the books she stole to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]]. After showing up at [[Kourindou]] to reclaim her books, she was presumably beaten up once again, this time by [[Marisa Kirisame]].<br />
<br />
;''Forbidden Scrollery''<br />
She is seen flying with Lily White in the first page of Fobidden Scrollery's chapter 6.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*While shown as a weak [[youkai]], after retaliating and causing damage to [[Reimu Hakurei]] when the [[shrine maiden]] originally thought the fight would be an easy one, she at least proved more formidable than Reimu first thought.<br />
*After beating up Tokiko outside [[Kourindou]], Marisa brings a crested ibis into the store, which she cooks and eats with Reimu. Tokiko's resemblance to a crested ibis may or may not be coincidental.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Satono Nishida'''|爾子田 里乃|Nishida Satono}} is a subordinate of [[Okina Matara]], along with her partner [[Mai Teireida]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Satono appeared as the Stage 5 Midboss, Stage 5 Boss and Extra Stage Midboss in ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
She has little memory of her time as a human, but has retained her personality. She is discreet, but tends to be overconfident. Still, she acts for Okina's sake alone, seemingly not having the free will to question otherwise.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Drawing out people's mental energy by dancing behind them<br />
Entrusted to Satono, it is not an ability of hers, but of her master, Okina. She draws out the latent ability in all things by dancing behind them, in this case mental energy.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
===Name===<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Similarly to Mai's design, she has light ginger hair, cut short with two long side locks, and purple eyes. She wears a Kazaori-eboshi, a smaller type of eboshi that has been folded. She wears a dotted magenta dress with short sleeves. Her sleeves have a black cuff and yellow lace. Her dress has a black high neck collar, connected to a white bertha collar tipped with yellow lace. She wears a rectangle white half apron fastened around her waist with the same yellow lace. There's a row of red buttons and bows across her bertha collar and her apron. She has black kneesocks and magenta shoes with short heels. She is shown to be holding a fern-like stalk with her left hand. Mai's as well as Satono's design and pose is presumably based off the clothing and pose of the two servants of matarajin as seen in this woodblock print. Their coloring scheme is a direct contrast to Mai.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Hidden Star in Four Seasons''<br />
[[File:Th16SatonoSprite.png|frame|Satono's sprite in ''HSiFS'']]<br />
Emerging alongside their master, Okina, she orders her subordinates to find others worthy of serving her. To do so, they plant doors on the backs of others and empower them, to bring out their best and test them. What they don't know, however, is that they aren't searching for allies, like Okina told them, but for their own replacements.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Okina Matara]]<br />
Okina is Mai and Satono's master. They are vessels of her power, acting as extensions of her and unflinchingly obeying her orders. They are becoming less human due to Okina's influence. They have little memory of their past, yet maintain their personality. Whether because they're no longer useful or she pities them, Okina seeks to replace them, which she has periodically. However, after failing to find successors, Okina says she is fine with retaining them. Satono and Mai do not know they are even searching for their own replacements.<br />

Mai is a fellow subordinate under Okina.<br />

A pair whose purpose is to draw out the latent abilities of all things. Okina's subordinates.<br /><br />
They used to be regular human children, but due to Okina's magic power, they're becoming less and less human.<br /><br />
They hardly have any memory of their time as humans, and they dance in joyful madness.<br /><br /><br />

They dance all for Okina's sake, and take action all for Okina's sake.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
The two of them don't know that the doors on people's backs are meant to search for their own successors.<br /><br />
Okina only told them that the doors are meant to search for more allies for the two of them.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
If they did happen to find out the truth, what action would they take?<br /><br />
In all likelihood, they'd just keep doing the same thing.<br /><br />
They can hardly even imagine going against Okina's orders, after all.<br /><br /><br />
<br />
They serve Okina as her loyal servants, but their abilities, too, are nothing more than an extension of Okina's.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Eternity Larva'''|エタニティラルバ|Etanitiraruba}} is a [[fairy]] embodying the growth, rebirth, and metamorphosis of insects.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Eternity appeared as the Stage 1 midboss and [[Boss]] in ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Eternity Larva has an extremely gentle personality. Her playfulness is no different from other fairies. Whenever something is happening, she'll head over to play. <br />
<br />
As a butterfly fairy, she greatly dislikes the cold. She is most active during the summer and becomes dormant during the winter.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Scattering scales<br />
Her ability refers to the feature of most [[wikipedia:Lepidoptera|Lepidoptera]] of having scales covering their bodies and wings. The wings, head, and parts of the thorax and abdomen of butterflies and moths are covered with minute scales which give them an extraordinary variety of colors and patterns. Most scales are lamellar, or blade-like.<br />
<br />
Eternity uses her scales as projectiles in [[danmaku]] patterns, as well as smokescreens.<ref>[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]] - Chapter 15</ref><br />
<br />
;Controlling berserk lifeforce<br />
An ability that Larva awakened after the [[Hidden Star in Four Seasons|Four Seasons incident]]. After using [[Clownpiece]]'s torch to make her own lifeforce go out of control, she used it to instantly change the wintery surroundings into a summer scenery, complete of warm sun and palm trees.<ref>[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]] - Chapter 10</ref><br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
===Origin===<br />
[[Okina Matara]]'s [[Hidden Star in Four Seasons/Story/Cirno's Extra|speculation]] suggests that Eternity may have been inspired by the story of the Tokoyo god. According to the ''[[wikipedia:Nihon Shoki|Nihon Shoki]]'', in 7th century Japan, a group of villagers formed a cult to worship an insect as the Tokoyo god ({{lang|ja|常世神}}, ''Tokoyo no Kami''), or "the god of the everlasting world".<ref name="tokoyo">Nan-Yao Su; Tokoyo no Kami: A Caterpillar Worshipped by a Cargo Cult in Ancient Japan, American Entomologist, Volume 60, Issue 3, 1 July 2014, Pages 182–188, https://doi.org/10.1093/ae/60.3.182</ref> It is commonly believed that the insect was in fact a swallowtail caterpillar, which may explain Eternity's basis as swallowtail butterfly fairy.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is Eternity Larva ({{lang|ja|エタニティラルバ}}). ''Eternity'' may signify her theme of metamorphosis and rebirth, while ''Larva'' is the juvenile life stage of [[wikipedia:Holometabolism|holometaboulous]] insects like moths and butterflies. Considering Eternity is probably based on ''Tokoyo no kami'', her name is probably a reflection of her origin as said kami. The term ''Tokoyo'' itself was used to refer to a far-away place where people would live eternally in prosperity and wealth, which could mean that the name ''Eternity'' might be a refference to that "eternal" land. In the demo of ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons'', her name was given as both ''Etarnity Larva'' in-game and ''Etanity Larva'' in the omake; both being more direct transliterations of {{lang|ja|エタニティ}} (eternity). These were corrected in the full version.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Eternity has peach-colored eyes and short light blue hair. She is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:Papilio xuthus|Asian swallowtail]], having a pair of very large black and yellow wings, spotted with bits of blue and purple and a large two-pronged yellow [[wikipedia:osmeterium|osmeterium]] on her head which is a defensive organ found on all [[wikipedia:Papilionidae|Swallowtail butterfly]] larvae. She wears a black shirt with black and yellow swallowtail-inspired sleeves and collar, a line of blue spots down the left side, and a large green leaf that encompasses her torso, resembling a pupa. She wears a light green skirt showing two thin irregular black rings and one ring of white spots of various alternating sizes at the edge. Eternity wears a crown of leaves atop her head. She does not wear any footwear.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Hidden Star in Four Seasons''<br />
[[File:Th16LarvaSprite.png|frame|Eternity Larva's sprite in ''HSiFS'']]<br />
Due to the incident in ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]'', Eternity goes berserk alongside all the other fairies. Overwhelmed with power, she battles the player in the skies at the height of summer but is promptly defeated.<br />
<br />
In [[Cirno]]'s Extra Stage scenario, it is revealed that Cirno used the door on Eternity's back to re-enter Ushirodo-no-Kuni and challenge [[Okina Matara]] to a rematch. Somehow, this resulted in Cirno drawing on the power of ''doyou'', the border between seasons, which ultimately contributed to Okina's defeat. As it was Eternity's door that led to this result, Okina speculates that Eternity may actually be a Tokoyo god, one of Okina's enemies, and wonders if it was a coincidence.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''Visionary Fairies in Shrine''<br />
Larva appears in chapter 8 of [[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]], where Cirno uses her to win a bug-catching competition against [[Sunny Milk]], [[Luna Child]], and [[Star Sapphire]]. After playing with them, Larva tells the three fairies about the events of [[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]] as Cirno explained them to her.<br />
<br />
In chapter 9, the three fairies coincidentally find Larva's underground vacation home in the [[Forest of Magic]], and invite her to the "Deep Winter Red-hot Fire Festival" they organized for the day after. Larva therefore goes to the festival, where she meets [[Clownpiece]] for the first time and reveals the newly aquired power of Clownpiece's torch, that after the Four Seasons incident is now able to make life force go berserk.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Cirno]]<br />
Eternity and Cirno are implied to have known each other before the events of Hidden Star in Four Seasons. In ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons'', Eternity notices Cirno's tan before they fight to see who the summer belongs to. Eternity also appears in Cirno's ending.<br />

*When Okina Matara wonders if Eternity is actually the Tokoyo god, she states that the Tokoyo god is one of her enemies. This may allude to the fact that the cult of the Tokoyo god was brought to an end when the leader of the cult was arrested and executed by an official named Hata no Kawakatsu.<ref name="tokoyo" /> Later, Hata no Kawakatsu would occasionally be equated with Matara-jin due to their similar divine natures as gods of the performing arts.<br />
*Eternity Larva appears on the demo CD cover of ''[[Hidden Star in Four Seasons]]''.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Clownpiece'''|クラウンピース|Kuraunpīsu}} is a [[fairy]] of [[Hell]]. She is also the main protagonist of ''[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]]''.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Clownpiece appeared as the Stage 5 Boss in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'' and as the main protagonist of ''[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]]'', along with [[Sunny Milk]], [[Star Sapphire]], and [[Luna Child]]. She is [[Hecatia Lapislazuli]]'s subordinate, who has instructed her to live in Gensokyo for the time being. She currently lives under the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in a replica Hell she made for herself. Other characters often refer to her as "Piece", a shortening of her name.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Clownpiece is similar in nature to many of the other fairies in Touhou: she is playful, mischievous, childish, and a little bit dumb. She enjoys the aesthetics of Hell, often leading to strange looks from others; however, this is because it reminds her of home. She enjoys pranking anybody she can, friends included. She often joins the Three Fairies of Light in their own schemes, pranks, and adventures, and has a little bit of a rivalry with Cirno over the title of the "strongest". Generally, she is a fun-loving person who's also a little bit ignorant of her surroundings: she's set fire to the Hakurei Shrine by accident on more than one occasion.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
'''Driving people to madness'''<br />
:With the flame of her torch, Clownpiece is able to drive others insane. According to herself, any human looking at the light of her torch would be unable to maintain their sanity, making her able to mess with their minds.<ref name="VFiS1" /> In the [[Human Village]], she used this ability to make villagers extremely irritable and short-tempered, attacking each other for trivial reasons. According to her, going crazy means bringing out one's true strength.<ref>[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]] - Sanae's scenario: '''Clownpiece:''' Y'see, the light from my torchdrives anyone it touches crazy. And going crazy means bringing out your true strength. I'm gonna beat you down with this tremendous power!</ref><br />
:Clownpiece claims that, while this may seem like an unusual power for a nature spirit, it's nothing strange in Hell where "nature" consists mainly of the souls of the dead. The torch itself is made with the lifeforce of those that fell in Hell.<ref name="VFiS10">[[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]] - Chapter 10</ref><br />
<br />
'''Making lifeforce go berserk'''<br />
:The true power of Clownpiece's flame is revealed by [[Eternity Larva]], who recognized the power she experienced during the [[Hidden Star in Four Seasons|Four Seasons incident]]. The flame of the torch is able to affect the lifeforce and make it go berserk. Eternity used this power in full winter to instantly make it summer near the [[Hakurei Shrine]], filling bare trees with leaves, and even turning some of them into palm trees. Although this completely consumed the torch's fire, she assumed it would eventually be back on its own.<ref name="VFiS10" /><br />
<br />
'''Embodiment of [[impurity]]'''<br />
:Clownpiece was among the fairies exposed to [[Junko]]'s abilities prior to the events of ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'', transforming her into a being of pure lifeforce whom the [[Lunarian]]s could not fight without [[Impurity|becoming permanently tainted]]. It's unclear whether this is still true by the time she comes to [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Clownpiece is based on [[wikipedia:Lampad|lampads]]<ref name=SCoOW>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom interview with ZUN]] - Clownpiece section.</ref>, nymphs who serve the goddess Hecate, the basis of [[Hecatia Lapislazuli|Hecatia]]. Lampads accompany Hecate on her night-time travels and carry torches which have the power to drive someone to madness, like Clownpiece.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Clownpiece wears leggings and a shirt with the pattern similar to the [[wikipedia:Flag of the United States|American flag]]. As she resembles a jester, she has a frilled collar and a purple, polka-dotted jester's hat. She has long, blonde hair and pink eyes. She also has a pair of fairy wings and carries a torch.<br />

<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''Visionary Fairies in Shrine''<br />
<br />
While setting up a prank on [[Reimu Hakurei]], The [[Three Fairies of Light]] hear her make mention of a new fairy. Curious about her identity, they travel to the Human Village, where they find Clownpiece manipulating the minds of the humans there, causing them to become aggressive toward one another. When confronted by The Three Fairies of Light, Clownpiece explains her power to drive people mad, and mentions that she is from [[Hell]], but doesn't want to return there. Impressed by her ability, they invite her to live with them, but she declines, stating that she has [[Reimu Hakurei|someone else to live with]]. At the mention of pranking opportunities, however, Clownpiece expresses curiosity toward their abilities, and they introduce themselves. However, Clownpiece fails to comprehend and memorize their fairly simple introduction, so [[Sunny Milk]] tells her not to worry about it. [[Luna Child]] warns Clownpiece not to play her pranks in the Human Village, because the Shrine Maiden has her eye on Clownpiece. With that, The Three Fairies of Light depart home. As they leave, Clownpiece remarks her interest in the three of them.<br />

<br />
A fairy from [[Hell]].<br><br />
One of Hecatia's subordinates.<br><br><br />
<br />
Fairies can be found just about anywhere; Hell is no different.<br><br />
However, the [[Lunarian]]s eliminate fairies, as they reject life and death.<br><br />
There are almost no fairies around the [[Lunar Capital]].<br><br><br />
<br />
Under Hecatia's orders, she filled the [[Sea of Tranquility]] with fairies she brought with her from Hell.<br><br />
Thanks to her and her friends, the Sea of Tranquility was transformed into a fairy playland.<br><br><br />
<br />
Then, thanks to [[Junko]]'s ability, they were awakened.<br><br />
They can be said to be a mass of totally pristine life energy.<br><br><br />
<br />
"If you play around here, the Lunarians will be unable to act.<br><br />
As long as nobody goes and sullies themselves with impurity, they'll be completely trapped."<br><br><br />
<br />
...that's what she was told. So, she played to her heart's content.<br><br><br />
<br />
The lunar surface was a desolate world, but compared to Hell, it was still beautiful and fun.<br><br />
The fairies played and frolicked.<br><br />
Just by doing that, the Lunarians were bound in place.<br><br><br />
<br />
Though the Lunar Capital showed no signs of action for a long time,<br><br />
a [[human]] flew over from there at last.<br><br><br />
<br />
"If anyone comes from the Lunar Capital, go wild. Do anything you like."<br><br />
As she remembered being told that, she was as ecstatic as could be.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Sagume Kishin'''|稀神 サグメ|Kishin Sagume}} is a [[Lunarian]] [[God|goddess]] (specifically, a [[divine spirit]]) who was indirectly responsible for the [[Urban Legend in Limbo|Urban Legend Incident]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Sagume appeared as the Stage 4 midboss and Boss in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]''.<br />
<br />
===Abilities===<br />
;Reversing a situation with her words<br />
When she speaks about a particular situation or event, that situation will eventually proceed to reverse itself, through whatever means possible. If she speaks about an attempt to achieve a goal, it will fail in some way. If she speaks about something bad occurring, it will be resolved in some way. Due to this, she tends to not speak too much and always chooses her words carefully. Note that it is the situation or the event she talks about that will be reversed in some manner; it is not that the opposite of what she says must occur.<br />
<br />
In ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'', Sagume had thought of a backup plan to move the [[Lunar Capital]] to Gensokyo in case [[Junko]]'s actions eventually forced the Lunarians to leave their temporary refuge in the [[Dream World]]. However, when the player shows up to take care of Junko, Sagume realizes her opportunity to help save the Lunar Capital. By talking to the protagonist about their plan to invade Gensokyo, her ability ensures that the plan will not come to fruition. By doing so, Sagume bets on the likelihood that the reason they will not end up relocating to Gensokyo is because the protagonist will in fact save the Lunar Capital. By talking to the player directly, she forced the situation to reverse around them.<br />
<br />
;Occult Balls<br />
Using her powers, Sagume created a secret [[occult ball]]. It had the power to change the world by using people's words, and merely being near it would cause false rumors, such as urban legends, to materialize. Although it was just insurance, the plan was to use it to materialize the Lunar Capital in Gensokyo by spreading rumors about NASA hiding the truth about what they saw on the Moon. This also caused numerous lesser urban legends to materialize, starting the events of ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''. It is currently in possession of [[Marisa Kirisame]].<ref>[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]] - Marisa's Pointdevice/No Miss ending</ref><br />
<br />
===Species===<br />
She is a goddess, but she has a part of her that is a {{nihongo|Heavenly God|天津神|Amatsukami}} represented by the sole wing on her back and a part that is a {{nihongo|Earthly God|土着神|Kunitsukami}}<ref name=LoLKInterview>[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom interview with ZUN|Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom interview with ZUN]]</ref>. Other than being a Lunarian, Sagume can also "tentatively" be classified as a [[divine spirit]], but it is said that her true nature isn't that of a [[god]], an [[oni]], or a departed soul. She is also considered a type of [[amanojaku]].<ref>[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom/Music]] - Sagume Kishin's theme comments</ref><br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
[[File:FSSagumeHairBraid.png|thumb|right|180px|Sagume's braid as seen in [[Forbidden Scrollery]]]]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Sagume Kishin''|稀神サグメ}}. Her last name, Kishin ({{lang|ja|稀神}}), means "rare god". It differs from {{nihongo|[[kishin]]|鬼神}}, which means "oni god" and the Kijin in {{nihongo|[[Seija Kijin]]|鬼人}}, which means "oni human" and forms a part of her and Seija's species, [[amanojaku]].<ref>[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom/Music]] - Sagume Kishin's theme comments</ref><br />
<br />
[[ZUN]] also relates her with {{nihongo|''sagi''|サギ}} which means {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:heron|Heron]]|鷺|sagi}} and can also be read as {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:swindler|swindler]]|詐欺|sagi}}.<ref name=LoLKInterview /><br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Sagume may be based in part on {{nihongo|Ame-no-Sagume|天探女}}, who is thought to be the basis of [[amanojaku]] folklore.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Sagume has short, light grey hair with a braid on the back, red eyes, and a single wing on her back. She wears a purple dress, the bottom of which is cut into an arrow pattern, with a red microphone bowtie, a tan jacket, and brown shoes.<br />
<br />
==Sagume's Appearances==<br />
[[File:Th15SagumeSprite.png|frame|Sagume's sprite in ''LoLK'']]<br />
;''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''<br />
<br />
Sagume encounters the protagonists in the already deserted [[Lunar Capital]], after revealing the nature of their visit she proceeds to test their strength to see if they're capable of confronting [[Junko|the person attacking the Moon]] and, by consequence, stop the invasion to [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
;''Antinomy of Common Flowers''<br />
<br />
[[Byakuren Hijiri]] mentions Sagume as the culprit behind the [[Urban Legend in Limbo|Urban Legend Incident]] upon defeating [[Reisen Udongein Inaba]] in versus mode.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Eirin Yagokoro]]<br />
Due to Eirin being a sage of the Moon before fleeing to the Earth, Sagume seemed be aware of her taking action during ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'' events and calls her {{nihongo|''Lady Yagokoro''|八意様|Yagokoro-sama}}.<br><br />
Later, Sagume is seen speaking with Eirin in an article of [[Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia]] by Aya, although the subject of the conversation is unknown.<br />
;[[Reisen Udongein Inaba]]<br />
When Reisen meets Sagume during ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'' events, she recognizes her as one of the Goddesses and address her as proper. Sagume recognizes Reisen as "the rabbit that fell to Earth" from Eirin's place.<br />

<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*In most of her [[spell card]] and non-spell card attacks, she makes a lot of use of the [[flying yin-yangs]], a mysterious [[stage enemy]] that re-occurs in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'', as well as being primarily the only enemy of her stage.<br />
*Even though she has a "defeated" sprite in the game's code, it is never used. [[ZUN]] made the image as part of his workflow, but didn't use it as the dialogue after battle is many times longer than the pre-battle dialogue, and didn't like Sagume being in a defeated state the whole time.<ref>''[[Strange Creators of Outer World]]'': ''[[Strange Creators of Outer World/Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom interview with ZUN|Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom interview]]'': Interviewer: "Even when Sagume loses, her clothes don't get messed up."; ZUN: "That's right. I have a picture of her, but I didn't use it (laugh). I drew it as part of my workflow, but it was a waste."; Interviewer: "Because she's strong?"; ZUN: "The dialogue before the battle is short, and the dialogue after it is long, so I couldn't have her stay in the defeated pose the whole time. And it would be embarrassing if her clothes were messed up when she was only testing their powers (laugh)." </ref><br />

その事象は逆に進み始めるのだ。<br><br />
似たようなものに天邪鬼がいるが、彼女は天邪鬼の上位にいる神霊である。<br><br />
天邪鬼は自分が反対の事を言うだけに対し、彼女は言った事で世界を反対に動かす。<br><br><br />
<br />
何かを成そうとしているのなら、それは尽く失敗するし、<br><br />
悪い事が起きているのなら、何らかの打破が見られる能力である。<br><br />
必ずしも自分に対して好転するわけでは無い。<br><br />
まさに、口は禍の元、となる神霊だ。<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
月の民の賢者達は、純狐による攻撃で穢れの侵食を防ぐため、月の都を凍結させた。<br><br />
それと同時に、月の民を夢の世界に避難させた。<br><br />
夢の世界の都は、みなが思うようないつも通りの月の都だった。<br><br />
そこにいる月の民達はそれを本物の都だと疑うことは無かった。<br><br><br />
<br />
しかし、いつまでも夢の世界に閉じ込めておく訳にもいかない。<br><br />
長い夢は精神を蝕みやすいのだ。<br><br><br />
<br />
その為、賢者達は保険として「月の都遷都計画」を打ち立てた。<br><br><br />
<br />
「月の都遷都計画」は、幻想郷を浄化し、そこに都を作る事だった。<br><br />
浄化とは、生死を無くすこと。<br><br />
つまり、全ての地上の生き物を殲滅することだった。<br><br />
しかしそう簡単にいく訳もない。相手は幻想郷に住む妖怪達だ。<br><br><br />
<br />
彼女は、幻想郷にはある都市伝説を広める事が近道と考えた。<br><br />
彼女の能力を使い秘密のパワーストーンを作った。<br><br />
そのパワーストーンは言葉で世界を変える力を持っていた。<br><br />
近くに有るだけで、存在しないはずの噂話(都市伝説)が具現化する<br><br />
という恐ろしい代物である。<br><br><br />
<br />
都市伝説が具現化するようになった頃、誰かが有名な都市伝説を<br><br />
広めるのを待つだけ、というのが彼女の計画だった。<br><br><br />
<br />
有名な都市伝説、それが「アポロ計画陰謀論」である。<br><br />
「NASAは月で見た真実を隠している」という与太話だ。<br><br />
つまり、NASAは月で見た文明を隠している、と噂になれば<br><br />
月の文明、すなわち月の都が幻想郷に具現化するという訳だ。<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
……しかし、この計画はあくまでも保険である。<br><br />
彼女も本気では無かったし、そもそも遷都を望んでいる民は<br><br />
誰もいなかった。出来れば月に戻りたかった。<br><br />
それでも何らかの手を打たないと行けないほど、純狐の攻撃は<br><br />
手の打ちようが無かったのである。<br><br><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
そんな時、幻想郷の人間がやってきた。<br><br />
まさかドレミーが月の都に人間を入れるとは思ってもみなかったが、<br><br />
彼女は人間の力を試し、強いことが判ると決意した。<br><br><br />
<br />
この人間に賭けよう。<br><br />
私が真実を喋れば、この人間を中心に事態は逆転する。<br><br />
自分が行ってきた遷都作戦は尽く失敗するが、純狐の作戦も失敗するからイーブンだ。<br><br />
後はこの人間がどうなってしようとも、月の都が救われれば……。 <br />

Sagume Kishin<br><br><br />
<br />
Species: Lunarian<br><br />
Ability: Capable of inverting a situation by speaking about it<br><br><br />
<br />
A resident of the Moon.<br><br />
She normally occupies a very important post amongst the Moon's people, and doesn't often show herself publicly.<br><br />
She can tentatively be classified as a [[divine spirit]], but her nature is neither that of a god, nor oni, nor departed soul.<br><br><br />
<br />
She doesn't usually talk much, but this is a result of her ability.<br><br />
When she speaks about any particular situation, (particularly to those who are thought to be involved,)<br><br />
that situation will begin to proceed in its opposite way.<br><br />
This power is similar to that of [[amanojaku]], but she is a divine spirit ranked far above amanojaku.<br><br />
Amanojaku only speak contrarily, but in her case, with her words the world acts contrarily.<br><br><br />
<br />
Should she try to accomplish something, it will end in failure,<br><br />
and if something bad is occurring, she has the ability to find a solution.<br><br />
It's not as if the situation will always improve for her personally.<br><br />
She's truly a divine spirit whose 'words can lead to disaster', as the saying goes.<br><br><br />
<br />
To avoid the encroachment of impurity from Junko's attack, the sages of the Moon froze the Lunar Capital.<br><br />
At the same time, they evacuated the People of the Moon into the [[Dream World]].<br><br />
The Capital within the Dream World was just like the ordinary Lunar Capital that its residents imagined.<br><br />
The People of the Moon residing there never doubted that it was the real thing.<br><br><br />
<br />
However, they certainly couldn't stay cooped up in the Dream World forever.<br><br />
The longer a dream becomes, the more it can erode one's mind.<br><br><br />
<br />
Thus, the sages proposed the "Lunar Capital Transfer Plan" as insurance.<br><br><br />
<br />
The "Lunar Capital Transfer Plan" was to purify Gensokyo and build a new capital there.<br><br />
To 'purify' is to eliminate life and death.<br><br />
That is to say, they were going to annihilate all the living things on its surface.<br><br />
However, it wouldn't be easy. Their opponents were the youkai living in Gensokyo.<br><br><br />
<br />
She thought that the spread of a particular urban legend in Gensokyo would make a good shortcut.<br><br />
Using her power, she created a secret Power Stone.<br><br />
That Power Stone had the power to change the world with people's words.<br><br />
Just by being near it, rumors (ie. urban legends) that shouldn't exist would materialize.<br><br />
A terrifying curio indeed.<br><br><br />
<br />
When the urban legends began to materialize, she simply had to wait<br><br />
for someone to spread one particularly famous urban legend. That was the plan.<br><br><br />
<br />
That famous urban legend was the "Apollo Project Coverup Theory."<br><br />
An unfounded rumor that "NASA is hiding the truth of what they saw on the Moon."<br><br />
That is to say: if a rumor spread that NASA was hiding information about the lunar civilization they saw,<br><br />
that very civilization, the Lunar Capital, would materialize in Gensokyo.<br><br><br />
<br />
...however, this plan was no more than insurance.<br><br />
She wasn't totally serious about it, and none of the Moon's people wanted<br><br />
to move the capital to begin with. Returning to the Moon would be ideal.<br><br />
All the same, though, as much as they needed to fight back against Junko,<br><br />
they had no way of resisting her attack.<br><br><br />
<br />
It was then that one of Gensokyo's humans arrived.<br><br />
She never imagined that Doremy would send a human to the Lunar Capital,<br><br />
but decided to test the human's power anyway. She found that they were strong indeed.<br><br><br />
<br />
''I'll place my bet on this human,'' she thought.<br><br />
''If I speak the truth to them, the situation will reverse itself with them at the center.''<br><br />
''My Capital Migration Strategy will fail, but since Junko's attack will also fail, we'll break even.''<br><br />
''It doesn't matter what this human will do afterward, as long as the Lunar Capital is saved...''<br />

{{nihongo|'''Shinmyoumaru Sukuna'''|少名 針妙丸|Sukuna Shinmyoumaru}} is the main antagonist of [[Double Dealing Character]]. She's a inchling living in the [[Shining Needle Castle]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Shinmyoumaru first appeared as the Final Boss of ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', she also appeared in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' as an 8th Day Boss and later in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' as a playable character.<br />
<br />
Shinmyoumaru is a young inchling, currently residing in the [[Shining Needle Castle]]. Prior to the events of ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', she was ignorant to the existence of the [[Miracle Mallet]]. During the game's story, she uses it to make herself bigger, enlarging her size to that of a small human child.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Shinmyoumaru acts and speaks as if she was a young child. Along the same lines, she appears easily persuaded, as she readily accepted the fabricated history of the inchlings that [[Seija Kijin]] fed to her. Also, she has a height complex and will always seek ways to become taller, like with the Miracle Mallet or the [[Occult Ball]]s.<br />
<br />
===Abilities and Possessions===<br />
;Ability to use the [[Miracle Mallet]]<br />
The Miracle Mallet is an ancient inchling artifact, passed down through the generations, said to be able to grant any wish the user wishes. However, only inchlings are able to use it. In addition, the utilization of the Mallet to grant wishes comes with a price, and for wishes that are too large, it extracts this price before it even grants the wish.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', Shinmyoumaru tried alongside with [[Seija]] to overturn society with the power of the Miracle Mallet, but the price she had to pay appears to have been the leakage of a lot of magical energy into Gensokyo. This magical energy was responsible for turning normally peaceful youkai into aggressive monsters, and creating tsukumogami such as [[Benben]], [[Yatsuhashi]], and [[Raiko]]. It caused Reimu's purification rod, Marisa's Mini-Hakkero, and a few knives belonging to Sakuya to start "acting" strangely. However, in Sakuya A's route, Shinmyoumaru says that the maid's knife is something she made into a tsukumogami as an experiment, so it's unknown whether or not all the heroines' weapons were the same, or if all of the tsukumogami were her experiments, or if Sakuya's knife was an exception.<br />
<br />
;Shining Needle Sword<br />
Whilst appearing as more of an accessory in ''Double Dealing Character'', in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'', Shinmyoumaru makes heavy use of the Shining Needle Sword in combat. Although appearing to be just an oversized needle, it seems to function very well as a weapon on its own. It seems to be able to produce beams and fishhooks made of energy, and she even uses it in a similar manner to a fishing rod in some moves and spellcards.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
She was a co-conspirator to Seija, and plotted to overturn the hierarchy of society with her. After exhausting the power of the Miracle Mallet in ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', she began living in a cage-like doll house at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] whilst her body remained tiny and she was waiting for the Miracle Mallet to recover all of its power. She planned to return to being "tall" afterwards. As of ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'', she is once again normal-sized (albeit very short) and presumably living at the Shining Needle Castle once more.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Shinmyoumaru is a descendant of Issun-Boushi, a legendary oni-slayer who managed to obtain from them a treasure called the Miracle Mallet. At first, he only used its wish-granting power to make himself bigger and to get himself a princess. He thought that since the Miracle Mallet was an oni's tool, using it recklessly would cause his own ruin.<br />
<br />
Several generations later, this particular mindset was all but gone in the minds of most inchlings. One of his descendants decided to use it again in order to live in luxury, thus breaking the taboo. However, the descendant wished for a grand castle and to rule over the inchling people. In that moment, the Shining Needle Castle appeared, and the Mallet's power ran out. Shortly after, the price of using the Mallet's power manifested itself: the entire castle turned upside-down, and they presumably descended into [[Gensokyo]] afterwards and joined the oni, also leading to the eventual forgetting of the inchlings by those living in the outside world. Afterwards, the Mallet was never spoken of again.<br />
<br />
Before the main events of ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', Shinmyoumaru was a normal inchling living in the Shining Needle Palace, unaware as to the history of the inchling race, as well as to the Miracle Mallet. However, Seija Kijin eventually approached her with the Mallet she had found, and asked her to use it. By falsifying the history of the inchlings and placing the blame for the race's destruction on powerful youkai, Seija was able to convince her to rally to her side, and to use the Mallet for what is ultimately Seija's own ambition.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:FS_Shinmyoumaru_Sukuna.png|150px|thumb|right|Shinmyoumaru as she appears in ''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]''.]]<br />
===Origin===<br />
{{stub|section}}<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Shinmyoumaru Sukuna''|少名 針妙丸}}. Her surname {{nihongo||少名|Sukuna}} literally means "name/fame with a little volume". The meaning of the kanji "{{lang|ja|少}}" or word "'''sukuna'''i" is "a little," or "with a little volume", but it originally meant "young" in ancient times. So "Sukuna" can be interpreted as "young" or "tiny likely in young age". This name is borrowed from {{nihongo|"Sukunabikona"|少名毘古那, 少彦名}} or its other honorific name {{nihongo|"Sukuna mi-kami"|少名御神}}, the small [[god]] who created and ordered the land of Izumo with Ookuninushi in Japanese mythology.<br />
<br />
Her given name {{nihongo||針妙丸|Shinmyoumaru}} can be roughly translated as "Needle Strange Ball." "Shin," or "needle," is what her character model, Issun-boushi, used for [[oni]]'s termination. "Myou" means "strange/unnatural", but in the ancient era "elegant/moderate/vague." The kanji of "Shinmyou" is ZUN's original spelling, but it can also be written "{{lang|ja|神妙}}", meaning "mysterious/very serious." The "-maru" in her name is a suffix for boys in the medieval era. This therefore could interpret her given name as "mysterious boy with a needle".<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Double Dealing Character]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s official art Shinmyoumaru has short lavender hair, and eyes that appear to be lavender with brown flecks. She wears a pink [[wikipedia:Kimono|Kimono]] with a pinstripe pattern, some flowers, and a black ''Obi''. She has a black bowl covering her head with a flower-patterned border. In her left hand she carries the [[wikipedia:Uchide no kozuchi|Miracle Mallet]], and in her right hand, a sewing needle that shines, hence the name "''Shining Needle Sword''". The bowl, mallet and needle are the iconic possessions of [[wikipedia:Issun-bōshi|Issun-boushi]], and her design is largely based on him. The Miracle Mallet's power forms a circle around her, representing how the mallet takes payment equivalent to the wishes it grants. She doesn't wear any kind of footwear. She appears to be the size of a small child in-game. This is due to the Miracle Mallet's power, however. In several endings, she is shown to be only a few inches tall once its power wears off.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'', Shinmyoumaru's eyes are now red. She replaces her bowl hat with a larger, flatter, unpatterned saucer, and now uses a similar bowl as a vehicle. The magical circle around her is no longer present. This same appearance would later carry over to ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Double Dealing Character''<br />
[[File:Th14ShinmyomaruSprite.png|frame|Shinmyoumaru's sprite in ''DDC'']]<br />
:{{Main|Double Dealing Character/Story/Reimu A's Scenario#Stage 6|l1=Reimu A Arc}}<br />
Shinmyoumaru believes that Reimu is one of her allies as her purification rod has some of her miracle mallet's power and tells Reimu about how her purification rod is not happy with her. She asks Reimu to help her overthrow society, but Reimu refuses and fights her.<br />
:{{Main|Double Dealing Character/Story/Reimu B's Scenario#Stage 6|l1=Reimu B Arc}}<br />
Reimu came to stop Shinmyoumaru from overthrowing society. She tells Reimu that she is causing the social upheaval because the inchlings have been ignored.<br />
:{{Main|Double Dealing Character/Story/Marisa A's Scenario#Stage 6|l1=Marisa A Arc|Double Dealing Character/Story/Marisa B's Scenario#Stage 6|l2=Marisa B Arc}}<br />
Shinmyoumaru asks Marisa if she is there to help her "turn the world upside-down", and that her heart longs for power. Marisa is only there to stop her, though, so the two do battle.<br />
:{{Main|Double Dealing Character/Story/Sakuya A's Scenario#Stage 6|l1=Sakuya A Arc}}<br />
When Sakuya arrives, she realizes that her knife is something that she had experimentally turned into a tsukumogami. She is awash with joy at Sakuya's kind-heartedness, but the two are ultimately on opposite sides, so Shinmyoumaru begins the battle.<br />
:{{Main|Double Dealing Character/Story/Sakuya B's Scenario#Stage 6|l1=Sakuya B Arc}}<br />
Like in the Sakuya A arc, Shinmyoumaru misunderstands the maid's intentions and is extremely happy a human would support her. Again, Sakuya is a member of the "ruling class", so the two fight each other.<br />
<br />
;''Impossible Spell Card''<br />
:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}<br />
Later on when Seija has strong [[human]]s and [[youkai]] trying to capture her thank to the [[tengu]]'s newspaper, Shinmyoumaru confronts her and declares that she should return the remainder of the Mallet's magic and that they've lost the war. Seija believing that using her cheaty magic to concur [[Gensokyo]], Shinmyoumaru states that they ought to surrender because she has had enough. Since Seija goes against her will, she goes against Seija and gets others to capture her, becoming one of the many to try and stop Seija. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.<br />
<br />
;''Urban Legend in Limbo''<br />
{{stub|section}}<br />
<br />
;''Antinomy of Common Flowers''<br />
Shinmyoumaru is seen partnered with many different characters, on both the master and slave side. In the end she settles on [[Tenshi Hinanawi]] as her ideal partner. The two aim to be the strongest Perfect Posession users. They eventually encounter a second Shinmyoumaru, this one from the [[Dream World]]. The dream Shinmyoumaru swaps herself with the real Shinmyoumaru, unbeknown to Tenshi at first. [[Yukari Yakumo]] takes notice of this technique as the last piece to the puzzle of defeating the culprits behind Perfect Posession.<br />
<br />
==Literature==<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Seija Kijin===<br />
[[Seija Kijin]] initially comes to Shinmyoumaru to give her the Miracle Mallet and convince her to overturn society with her. They were allies during [[Double Dealing Character]], but while Shinmyoumaru gave up in overturning society after her defeat, Seija kept following her plans and "stole" some of the Miracle Mallet's power, using it during [[Impossible Spell Card]]. Since Shinmyoumaru wanted her power back, she went out hunting the amanojaku together with many others humans and youkai.<br />
<br />
Despite what happened during the amanojaku incident, it turned out that the two are still being friends when Shinmyoumaru relied on Seija to hijack [[The_Grimoire_of_Usami|Hakurei Fireworks Contest]].<br />
<br />
===[[Reimu Hakurei]]===<br />
After Shinmyoumaru was defeated, she reverted to her original one-inch size. Reimu realized that Shinmyoumaru could face harm in this state, and provided her with a small cage for her to lodge in whilst the mallet was recharging. She eventually returned to her castle, but it seems she is a regular lodger at the shrine, and the two get along well.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Benben Tsukumo]] and [[Yatsuhashi Tsukumo]]<br />
The two tsukumogami are also in on the conspiracy, but it's unknown if they know each other at all.<br />
;[[Okina Matara]]<br />
Okina helped Shinmyoumaru with her plans to hijack the fireworks festival in [[The Grimoire of Usami]].<br />

打ち出の小槌を使う事が出来る。<br />

初代一寸法師は鬼を退治して、鬼の秘宝『打ち出の小槌』を手に入れた。<br /><br />
初代は大きな身体と姫を手に入れる事が出来たのは伝えられている通りである。<br /><br />
それ以外に打ち出の小槌を使う事は無かった。<br />
<br />
打ち出の小槌は鬼の道具で有り、それが起こす奇跡もまた、鬼の魔力である。<br /><br />
無闇に使う事は必ず自分を滅ぼす事になる、と考えたのだ。<br />
<br />
<br />
しかし、代を重ねるごとに一寸法師の精神は失われていく。<br /><br />
そしてあるとき事件が起こった。<br />
<br />
何でも願いを叶えるという打ち出の小槌を使えるというのに、使ってはいけないとは何事だ。<br /><br />
そう考えた末裔の一人が、ついにその禁忌を破る。<br /><br />
小槌の魔力で贅の極みを尽したそいつは、ついに最後の望みを言った。<br />
<br />
「豪華な城を建てて民を支配したい」<br />
<br />
刹那、輝針城と名付けられた城が出現し、打ち出の小槌の魔力は尽きた。<br /><br />
そして、悲劇は起こる。<br />
<br />
輝針城は逆転し、小人族もろとも鬼の世界に幽閉されてしまったのだ。<br /><br />
支配したかった民の居ない世界へと……。<br /><br />
それ以来、小人族の存在は人間に知られる事は無かった。<br />
<br />
打ち出の小槌は鬼の道具である。<br /><br />
願いを聞き入れる代わりに、それに似合った代償を与える。<br /><br />
大きすぎる願いは、叶う前に代償が現れる事もある。<br />

その事を小人族は思い知った。<br /><br />
そして再び打ち出の小槌は封印された。<br />

Her ancestor Issun-Boushi exterminated an oni, and obtained the oni's treasure, the "Miracle Mallet".<br /><br />
That ancestor used it to gain a large body and a princess, just as the stories say.<br /><br />
He didn't use the Miracle Mallet for anything more than that.<br />
<br />
The Miracle Mallet was an oni's tool, and the miracles it caused were also a result of the oni's power.<br /><br />
Using it recklessly would bring ruin upon oneself, he thought.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, after several generations passed, Issun-Boushi's mindset soon faded away.<br /><br />
Then, at one point, an incident occurred.<br />
<br />
The Miracle Mallet can grant any wish imaginable-- so why aren't we using it?<br /><br />
One of Issun-Boushi's descendants thought this, and at last broke the taboo.<br /><br />
They lived in the lap of luxury thanks to the mallet's magic power, and then made one final wish.<br />
<br />
"I want to build a luxurious castle, and rule over the people!"<br />
<br />
In a flash, a castle called the "Shining Needle Castle" appeared, as the Miracle Mallet's power ran out.<br /><br />
And then, tragedy struck.<br />
<br />
The Shining Needle Castle turned on its head, and was confined to the world of the oni, taking the entire inchling race with it.<br /><br />
They sank down to a world where the people they wanted to rule over didn't exist...<br /><br />
Thus, the existence of the inchlings passed out of human knowledge.<br />
<br />
The Miracle Mallet was an oni's tool.<br /><br />
In exchange for granting a wish, it would extract a payment equivalent to it.<br /><br />
A wish that was too big could have its payment occur even before being granted.<br />
<br />
The inchlings realized this,<br/><br />
and the Miracle Mallet was sealed once more.<br />
<br />
<br />
A long time passed since then, and we now come to the present day.<br /><br />
All the people among the inchlings who spoke of the past had long since passed away.<br /><br />
As a result, Shinmyoumaru Sukuna didn't know about the mallet.<br />
<br />
An amanojaku, Seija, then laid eyes upon her.<br /><br />
In order to satisfy her ambition, Seija planned to utilize the Miracle Mallet.<br /><br />
Because only the inchlings could wield the mallet,<br /><br />
she decided to use Shinmyoumaru, who knew nothing of it.<br />
<br />
A humiliation suffered by the inchlings, the power of the Miracle Mallet, and the youkai of Gensokyo who were responsible for that humiliation--<br /><br />
Seija was always a well-spoken amanojaku, but she fed Shinmyoumaru a false history.<br /><br />
The two of them swore to take revenge.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Now, let's build a paradise where the weak won't be disposed of!"<br />
<br />
<br />
However, Shinmyoumaru still didn't know about the Miracle Mallet's price.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Seija Kijin'''|鬼人 正邪|Kijin Seija}} is the main protagonist of [[Impossible Spell Card]] and the minigame [[Gold Rush]]. She's an [[amanojaku]] with the power to turn over anything. She resides in the [[Shining Needle Castle]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Seija first appeared as the fifth stage boss of ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', and was behind the main plot of the game. Her main objective was to overthrow society, and to make the weak rule over the strong. She then appeared as the main protagonist in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />
===Personality===<br />
She thinks the opposite of what other people think, likes what others hate, and hates herself when she makes others happy. She's inclined to be purposely disobedient and avoids being charitable. In general, no one liked her, and she liked that fact. She also tends to be talkative.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Turn over anything<br />
As literally stated, Seija is able to turn over anything into its opposite state. This can be seen in her [[Double Dealing Character/Spell Cards/Stage 5|Spell Cards]] that flip the screen horizontally, vertically, and 180 degrees. <br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Seija was the one who originally found the [[Miracle Mallet]]. Once she realized it contained the power to realize her ambition, she sought out an [[inchling]] named [[Shinmyoumaru Sukuna]], as inchlings are the only ones able to use it. In order to draw Shinmyoumaru to her own side, she made up a story about how the inchling race was humiliated for ages, blaming the youkai for their downfall. She got Shinmyoumaru to agree with her plan.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
Her name is {{nihongo|''Seija Kijin''|鬼人 正邪}}. Her first name {{nihongo||正邪|Seija}} can be loosely translated as "good and evil" or "right and wrong." Her last name {{nihongo||鬼人|Kijin}} is spelled with characters meaning "[[oni]]" and "[[human]]". "{{lang|ja|邪}}" and "{{lang|ja|鬼}}" are both characters that make up the name of her species: {{nihongo||天邪鬼|[[Amanojaku]]}}. Although her given name has the character for "oni," and her species is often depicted as a type of oni in Japanese folklore, amanojaku in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' are a separate species. Both her first and last names reference her ability, as each is composed of two kanji with opposite meanings: human/oni and right/wrong.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Seija has red eyes and black hair with white highlights in the back and a single red highlight on her front bangs, although in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'' she has a single white highlight, with multiple red highlights. Her hair reaches down to her shoulders. She has two small, light blue horns, and she wears a white dress that ends in a gray, red, and black spade patterns that may symbolize her ability, as they look like arrows pointing downward and upward depending on the perspective. The dress is wrapped at the waist with an upside-down blue bow. She wears traditional sandals with purple straps. She also wears a gold-colored bracelet on her right arm.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;''Double Dealing Character''<br />
[[File:Th14SeijaSprite.png|frame|Seija's sprite in ''DDC'']]<br />
Seija is the stage 5 boss, residing in the [[Shining Needle Castle]]. At first, she thinks the heroine is there to ally with them, and explains her plan to overthrow society. However, she quickly gets irritated with the heroine's perceived lack of empathy for the "plight of the weak", and attacks. After she is defeated, she guides the heroine deeper into the castle, but is beaten again in order to get to Shinmyoumaru.<br />
<br />
;''Impossible Spell Card''<br />
[[File:Th143SeijaBackSprite.png|frame|left|Seija's back sprite in ''ISC'']]<br />
:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}<br />
Seija is the main protagonist and only playable character in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''. Following the events of ''[[Double Dealing Character]]'', she has become a wanted [[amanojaku]] in [[Gensokyo]]. There have been signs saying that whoever captures her wins a reward, resulting in characters like [[Kagerou Imaizumi]] and [[Raiko Horikawa]] trying to capture her. Since Seija has become a rebel, the youkai decide to use [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge, but Seija is determined to not give up and decides to cheat using items.<br />
<br />
Later on however, [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] confronts her and says that the [[tengu]] (presumably [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]]) have taken notice of her and have written up a newspaper about her mischief. This causes stronger [[youkai]] and [[human]]s such as [[Marisa Kirisame]], [[Sakuya Izayoi]], [[Sanae Kochiya]], and [[Youmu Kompaku]] to try and capture her. [[Shinmyoumaru Sukuna]] also confronts her and declares that she should return the remainder of the Mallet's magic and that they've lost the war that occurred during ''Double Dealing Character''. Seija believes that she can use her cheating magic to conquer [[Gensokyo]]. Shinmyoumaru states that they ought to surrender because she has had enough. Since Seija goes against her will, Shinmyoumaru goes against Seija and gets others to capture her, becoming one of the many to try and stop Seija.<br />
<br />
In the end, it's revealed that Seija has lost all of her allies, but it's nothing to worry about because the [[amanojaku]] can never really make friends anyway.<br />
<br />
;''Gold Rush<br />
Seija again appeared as the only playable character in ''[[Gold Rush]]''. Extending from ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'', somehow acquiring the ultimate rule-breaking item, Seija sets about robbing the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. She uses two "cheat" items; the Substitute Jizo from the previous game and the 10th "rule-breaking" item, the [[Miracle Mallet]] (Real), which is capable of destroying danmaku. She has to make use of it before its power runs out. This is somewhat similar to [[Cirno]]'s "perfect freeze" in ''[[Fairy Wars]]''. Unlike ''ISC'' however, Seija cannot shoot.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Shinmyoumaru Sukuna===<br />
Seija initially approached [[Shinmyoumaru Sukuna]] to persuade her to use the [[Miracle Mallet]] for her own ends. In order to do so, she falsified a history of the inchlings to turn the girl against society.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
; Benben Tsukumo and Yatsuhashi Tsukumo<br />
Though no dialogue is exchanged between them, Seija appears to understand the heroine when they mention that a koto or biwa tsukumogami told them about her plan. As they all have the same objective, it is likely that they know each other. However, Seija's reaction implies that she didn't realize the extent of the "payment" of the Miracle Mallet's power - that is, changing many objects into tsukumogami without the user intending to do so.<br />

<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*The silhouette of Seija occupies on the front of ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s jewel case.<br />
*Some parts of Seija's theme are symmetrical making it sound similar to itself when played reversed (much like Koishi's theme); this is probably a reference to her ability to turn things over and to the theme name itself: ''Reverse Ideology''.<br />
*Apparently the relationship of the main villains of [[Double Dealing Character]], Seija and Shinmyoumaru, is vague. But it might be a little wrong. it is said that amanojaku (or Ama-no-Jaku) is rooted from a female deity of [[Japanese mythology]], Ame-no-Sagume. In the age Ama-tsu-kami (God Clan in Heaven) and Kuni-tsu-kami (God Clan on Ground) were in battles. then Ama-tsu-kami sent a god Ame-no-Wakahiko for "negotiation". But he neither came back nor took a message — he married there and had no will to be on the side of Ama-tsu-kami; he switched or reverted his side. And it was Ame-no-Sagume who later gave advice to him that he should shoot Ama-tsu-kami's spy. This shows some resemblances of Ame-no-Sagume and amanojaku (or Seija): they are a traitor's friend, and his/her seducer. Another point, remember that Shinmyoumaru's root from Japanese mythology is Sukunahiko, who created the kingdom of Kuni-tsu-kami with Ookuninushi, where Ame-no-sagume lived as above. This means we can see that Shinmyoumaru's rooted god (or Shinmyoumaru's first ancestor) had taken part in Kuni-tsu-kami's side by far before Seija's rooted god (Ame-no-Sagume) appeared.<br />
*In her profile, the term [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gekokuj%C5%8D Gekokujō] (下克上, also 下剋上) is a Japanese term for "overthrowing or surpassing one's superiors". It is variously translated as "the lower rules the higher" or "the low overcomes the high".<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hata no Kokoro'''|秦 こころ}} is the main antagonist of [[Hopeless Masquerade]] and a [[menreiki]] [[youkai]]. She relies on her masks to show her emotions to others, as her actual face is emotionless and can be likened to a poker face.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Kokoro first appeared as the Final [[Boss]] of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', later appearing in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' as a playable character.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Kokoro naturally has a quiet, child-like personality but also a love of the stage, and relies on her masks to properly communicate her emotions. These emotions can be said to be stored inside the masks, as when she lost the Mask of Hope, her behavior became erratic. Before that, though, she is very quiet and hardly lets any emotion show. After the events of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', she manages to stabilize her personality by developing a sense of self.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Manipulating emotions<br />
Each of the masks which make up Kokoro embody powerful emotion, and will impress that emotion on the holder and those around them. When all 66 masks are together, their effects complement each other and are under Kokoro's full control. If an individual mask is separated from the group, it retains its properties, but Kokoro will lose the ability to feel that emotion completely. Losing her Mask of Hope caused Kokoro to become unstable and leech hope from her surroundings, until she was able to compensate by developing emotions separate from her masks'.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Kokoro has a total of 66 masks, each depicting an individual emotion. During the events of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', she is unable to express emotions without using these masks. Typically, she just uses the masks that represent joy, anger, pathos, and humor. These masks were created by [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]], who later creates a replacement Mask of Hope modelled on her own face.<br />
<br />
The masks Kokoro uses at some point in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and their most likely corresponding emotions:<br />
* [http://www.the-noh.com/sub/jp/index.php?mode=db&action=e_view_detail&data_id=23&class_id=1 {{nihongo|Young woman||Ko-omote|lit. "small face"}}]: Joy<br />
* [[Hannya mask|Hannya]]: Anger<br />
* [http://www.the-noh.com/sub/jp/index.php?mode=db&action=e_view_detail&data_id=32&class_id=1 {{nihongo|Old woman||Uba}}]: Pathos, melancholy<br />
* [http://nohmask21.com/mask-v/fukunokami.html {{nihongo|God of happiness||Fuku no kami}}]: Humor, laughter<br />
* [[wikipedia:Hyottoko|Hyottoko]]: Cheerful<br />
* [http://nohmask21.com/saru.html Monkey]: Confusion, awkwardness<br />
* [http://nohmask21.com/raiden.html {{nihongo|Thunder and lightning||Raiden}}]: Surprise<br />
* Fox: Determination, seriousness<br />
<br />
Kokoro's original Mask of Hope is described by Koishi, who possesses it, as resembling a [http://www.yesicanusechopsticks.com/jizo/index.htm Jizo statue].<ref>From [[Hopeless Masquerade/Story/Koishi's Scenario|Koishi's Scenario, Stage 7]]</ref><br />
<br />
Kokoro briefly uses a number of substitute Masks of Hope as part of her attempts to stabilise her emotions, including festival masks (which are not very effective), and a mask specially crafted by Miko herself (which is ''too'' effective, and would cause her to stop existing as a youkai).<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Hata no Kokoro is a [[menreiki]], a type of [[tsukumogami]], born from 66 masks used by [[wikipedia:Hata no Kawakatsu|Hata no Kawakatsu]] in the sixth century. The masks themselves all became tsukumogami, and eventually coalesced into the youkai Kokoro, and appeared in [[Gensokyo]] at some point.<br />
<br />
Before the events of ''Hopeless Masquerade'', she somehow lost her Mask of Hope. This caused the entire [[Human Village]] to start losing hope, and sparked the events that occur in the game. At first, she tried to balance the rest of the emotions of her masks, but losing just the one ended up driving her berserk.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Origin===<br />
Hata no Kawakatsu is known as the father of [[wikipedia:Sarugaku|Sarugaku]] theatre (a precursor to [[wikipedia:Noh|Noh]]), and is the centre of a legend which would connect him to [[Mononobe no Futo]], [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]], [[Myouren Temple]], and perhaps even [[Moriya Shrine]].<br />
<br />
In the legend, as told in [[wikipedia:Zeami|Zeami]]'s [[wikipedia:Zeami#Fūshikaden|Fūshikaden]], Kawakatsu was found in a jar as a baby on a river near [[wikipedia:Ōmiwa jinja|Oomiwa Shrine]] during the reign of Emperor Kinmei. He grew up to be a genius, so the court made him a minister and given the surname Hata. When the country was in turmoil, Prince Shoutoku ordered Kawakatsu to perform 66 plays following [[Shinto]] and [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] traditions, and had 66 masks made for this purpose. These plays became the first [[wikipedia:Kagura|Kagura]], from which [[wikipedia:Sarugaku|Sarugaku]] was later derived.<br />
<br />
After passing down the secret of his plays, Kawakatsu rode a boat and drifted out to the sea to uphold the tradition that non-human deities and [[Buddha]]s mustn't leave physical remains. He next came ashore in monstrous form, and haunted the surrounding area until he was enshrined by the local people as {{nihongo|Great Rage Daimyoujin|大荒大明神|Taikou Daimyoujin}}, who was later regarded as an avatar of [[Bishamonten]].<br />
[[File:FSHata.png|thumb|right|150px|Hata no Kokoro's appearance in [[Forbidden Scrollery]]]]<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is ''Hata no Kokoro'', with Hata as the surname and Kokoro as the given name. [[wikipedia:Hata clan|Hata]] (the Japanese reading of Chinese surname Qin {{lang|ja|秦}}) clan was an eminent Chinese immigrant clan mentioned in Nihon Shoki. It's also the surname of the masks' original user — Hata no Kawakatsu, who's said to be the reincarnation of [[Wikipedia:Qin Shi Huang|First Emperor of Qin Dynasty]] in Zeami's Fuushika-den.<br />
<br />
Her given name is written entirely in hiragana and means {{nihongo|'Heart'|心|kokoro}} in Japanese. {{lang|ja|心}} is also in the Japanese title of the game about her: {{nihongo|''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''|心綺楼|shinkirou}}.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Kokoro has waist-length lavender hair, and blank eyes of the same colour. She wears a blue plaid blouse, adorned with buttons of various shapes (from top: red star, yellow circle, green triangle, and purple X). Her salmon-coloured skirt is pumpkin-shaped, and lined with holes in the shape of alternating smiling and frowning faces (both are the same pattern, flipped vertically). She always wears one of her 66 masks over some of her face.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''<br />
The story starts with Kokoro losing her mask of hope, causing the emotions embodied in her remaining masks to go berserk and begin draining the hope from the [[Human Village]]. This in turn leads the humans to latch onto religious leaders as sources of hope, as part of the "duelling fad".<br />
<br />
[[Reimu Hakurei]] and the others participate in the religious popularity contest and are eventually guided by [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] to the Human Village at night, where Kokoro searches in vain for her lost mask. Most of the characters who try to stop her come up with their own solutions to her hopelessness, including [[Byakuren Hijiri]] teaching her Buddhism to control her own emotions and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] making her a replacement mask of hope, but none of them completely work.<br />
<br />
Mamizou notices the contradictory actions Kokoro is taking and offers her own advice, which is to stop relying on the masks and discover her own, true emotions through meeting (and fighting) a variety of people. In the process of doing so she discovers her own anger at the religious leaders who are taking advantage of the situation, and Reimu, Byakuren, and Miko team up to stop her. Byakuren and Miko both claim that their solutions solved the problem, and Kokoro is invited to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to perform [[wikipedia:Kagura|Kagura]] as an offering to the gods.<br />
;''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''<br />
The story begins with Kokoro imitating the Kuchisake-onna and asking various people if she was pretty, with those people trying to repel her by saying the word [[wikipedia:Pomade|pomade]], but it doesn't work with Kokoro saying that she is the "new and improved Kuchisake-onna" and attacks them. Nitori, one of the people she encounters, reminds her that she is a mask youkai and it's later revealed that one of Kokoro's masks was cracked. <br />
<br />
Kokoro opts to get Miko to fix the mask, only for [[Mononobe no Futo]] to tell her that she was away at the shrine doing some important business. Futo then notices the [[occult ball]]s that Kokoro possessed. She then wonders why Kokoro would be possessing occult balls as Miko was supposed to have collected them all. Futo then decides she'll take the balls from Kokoro and give them to Miko. After being defeated, Kokoro asks Futo is she was pretty before continuing her quest to find Miko. When Kokoro finally encounters her, Miko tells her that she was busy and cannot fix her mask at the moment. Miko notices the occult balls Kokoro had as well, and tries to defeat Kokoro for them, but fails. Kokoro then heads back to the human village to practice her Kuchisake-onna routine, and after finding out that the Kuchisake-onna attacks her victims regardless of whether they say she's pretty or not, decides to skip the question and attack right away. Afterwards, [[Sumireko Usami]] comes up to her and after Kokoro notices her foreign weapons and abilities, she feels the emotion of surprise for the first time in a while.<br />
<br />
;''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Kokoro lends [[Nitori Kawashiro]] her power over emotions to aid in the reverse engineering of Perfect Posession.<br />
<br />
Kokoro's [[Dream World]] self appears in [[Tenshi Hinanawi]]'s scenario, very angry at the celestial's personality.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''[[Forbidden Scrollery]]''<br />
Some time during the ending of her ''Hopeless Masquerade'' route, Kokoro performs Noh at the [[Hakurei Shrine]] in an attempt to stabilise her emotions, hiding her identity as a [[youkai]]. While popular at first, audiences are unable to understand her "play", which turns out to be based on illustrations from an old tengu parody. Noticing this, [[Mamizou]] approaches Kokoro and helps write ''[[Shinkirou]]'', a modernised comedy based on the events of the religious war.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]<br />
While she was still alive, Miko created the 66 masks which Kokoro was born from. Miko later makes Kokoro a new mask of hope to replace her lost one. However, Kokoro discarded this mask, as its stabilising effect was so powerful that it would eventually cause her to turn back into a set of inanimate objects. Her feelings towards Miko over this are unknown.<br />
;[[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]]<br />
Mamizou keeps an eye on Kokoro during the events of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and gives her some advice to help her develop her emotions. Afterwards she helps write ''[[Shinkirou]]'' for Kokoro to perform.<br />
;[[Koishi Komeiji]]<br />
Kokoro considers Koishi her arch-enemy, for finding her old Mask of Hope and refusing to return it.<br />

Hata no Kokoro<br />
<br />
Species: Menreiki<br /><br />
Ability: Ability to manipulate emotion<br />
<br />
A youkai created, after a long time had passed, from the masks used<br /><br />
by the father of Sarugaku performance, Hata no Kawakatsu.<br /><br />
Each mask depicts an emotion, and putting on a mask will change one's emotions.<br /><br />
Those emotions influence those around the wearer, as well.<br />
<br />
She has a total of sixty-six masks.<br />
<br />
Each and every mask has an emotion assigned to it, but since there are quite too many,<br /><br />
she normally only uses the masks for the four emotions of joy, anger, pathos, and humor.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because her story is discussed in detail in-game this time, not all of it will be discussed here,<br /><br />
but the incident began with her "Mask of Hope" being lost.<br /><br />
The reason why it was lost is unknown (probably just an accident), but its influence<br /><br />
is what caused the sudden rioting.<br />
<br />
Originally, she stabilized herself by having each emotion hold their balance with each other,<br /><br />
but losing just one mask caused her emotions' original powers to interfere with each other, and she went berserk.<br />
<br />
In fact, when she's stabilized, she hardly lets any emotions show. She shows interest in nothing,<br /><br />
and aside from when her masks are required, she just quietly acts as a tsukumogami.<br /><br />
Because of that, some say that when she goes berserk, she seems more human-like.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hata no Kokoro'''|秦 こころ}} is the main antagonist of [[Hopeless Masquerade]] and a [[menreiki]] [[youkai]]. She relies on her masks to show her emotions to others, as her actual face is emotionless and can be likened to a poker face.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Kokoro first appeared as the Final [[Boss]] of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', later appearing in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]'' as a playable character.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Kokoro naturally has a quiet, child-like personality but also a love of the stage, and relies on her masks to properly communicate her emotions. These emotions can be said to be stored inside the masks, as when she lost the Mask of Hope, her behavior became erratic. Before that, though, she is very quiet and hardly lets any emotion show. After the events of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', she manages to stabilize her personality by developing a sense of self.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Manipulating emotions<br />
Each of the masks which make up Kokoro embody powerful emotion, and will impress that emotion on the holder and those around them. When all 66 masks are together, their effects complement each other and are under Kokoro's full control. If an individual mask is separated from the group, it retains its properties, but Kokoro will lose the ability to feel that emotion completely. Losing her Mask of Hope caused Kokoro to become unstable and leech hope from her surroundings, until she was able to compensate by developing emotions separate from her masks'.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Kokoro has a total of 66 masks, each depicting an individual emotion. During the events of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', she is unable to express emotions without using these masks. Typically, she just uses the masks that represent joy, anger, pathos, and humor. These masks were created by [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]], who later creates a replacement Mask of Hope modelled on her own face.<br />
<br />
The masks Kokoro uses at some point in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and their most likely corresponding emotions:<br />

* [http://nohmask21.com/raiden.html {{nihongo|Thunder and lightning||Raiden}}]: Surprise<br />
* Fox: Determination, seriousness<br />
<br />
Kokoro's original Mask of Hope is described by Koishi, who possesses it, as resembling a [http://www.yesicanusechopsticks.com/jizo/index.htm Jizo statue].<ref>From [[Hopeless Masquerade/Story/Koishi's Scenario|Koishi's Scenario, Stage 7]]</ref><br />
<br />
Kokoro briefly uses a number of substitute Masks of Hope as part of her attempts to stabilise her emotions, including festival masks (which are not very effective), and a mask specially crafted by Miko herself (which is ''too'' effective, and would cause her to stop existing as a youkai).<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Hata no Kokoro is a [[menreiki]], a type of [[tsukumogami]], born from 66 masks used by [[wikipedia:Hata no Kawakatsu|Hata no Kawakatsu]] in the sixth century. The masks themselves all became tsukumogami, and eventually coalesced into the youkai Kokoro, and appeared in [[Gensokyo]] at some point.<br />
<br />
Before the events of ''Hopeless Masquerade'', she somehow lost her Mask of Hope. This caused the entire [[Human Village]] to start losing hope, and sparked the events that occur in the game. At first, she tried to balance the rest of the emotions of her masks, but losing just the one ended up driving her berserk.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Origin===<br />
Hata no Kawakatsu is known as the father of [[wikipedia:Sarugaku|Sarugaku]] theatre (a precursor to [[wikipedia:Noh|Noh]]), and is the centre of a legend which would connect him to [[Mononobe no Futo]], [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]], [[Myouren Temple]], and perhaps even [[Moriya Shrine]].<br />
<br />
In the legend, as told in [[wikipedia:Zeami|Zeami]]'s [[wikipedia:Zeami#Fūshikaden|Fūshikaden]], Kawakatsu was found in a jar as a baby on a river near [[wikipedia:Ōmiwa jinja|Oomiwa Shrine]] during the reign of Emperor Kinmei. He grew up to be a genius, so the court made him a minister and given the surname Hata. When the country was in turmoil, Prince Shoutoku ordered Kawakatsu to perform 66 plays following [[Shinto]] and [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] traditions, and had 66 masks made for this purpose. These plays became the first [[wikipedia:Kagura|Kagura]], from which [[wikipedia:Sarugaku|Sarugaku]] was later derived.<br />
<br />
After passing down the secret of his plays, Kawakatsu rode a boat and drifted out to the sea to uphold the tradition that non-human deities and [[Buddha]]s mustn't leave physical remains. He next came ashore in monstrous form, and haunted the surrounding area until he was enshrined by the local people as {{nihongo|Great Rage Daimyoujin|大荒大明神|Taikou Daimyoujin}}, who was later regarded as an avatar of [[Bishamonten]].<br />
[[File:FSHata.png|thumb|right|150px|Hata no Kokoro's appearance in [[Forbidden Scrollery]]]]<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is ''Hata no Kokoro'', with Hata as the surname and Kokoro as the given name. [[wikipedia:Hata clan|Hata]] (the Japanese reading of Chinese surname Qin {{lang|ja|秦}}) clan was an eminent Chinese immigrant clan mentioned in Nihon Shoki. It's also the surname of the masks' original user — Hata no Kawakatsu, who's said to be the reincarnation of [[Wikipedia:Qin Shi Huang|First Emperor of Qin Dynasty]] in Zeami's Fuushika-den.<br />
<br />
Her given name is written entirely in hiragana and means {{nihongo|'Heart'|心|kokoro}} in Japanese. {{lang|ja|心}} is also in the Japanese title of the game about her: {{nihongo|''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''|心綺楼|shinkirou}}.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Kokoro has waist-length lavender hair, and blank eyes of the same colour. She wears a blue plaid blouse, adorned with buttons of various shapes (from top: red star, yellow circle, green triangle, and purple X). Her salmon-coloured skirt is pumpkin-shaped, and lined with holes in the shape of alternating smiling and frowning faces (both are the same pattern, flipped vertically). She always wears one of her 66 masks over some of her face.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''<br />
The story starts with Kokoro losing her mask of hope, causing the emotions embodied in her remaining masks to go berserk and begin draining the hope from the [[Human Village]]. This in turn leads the humans to latch onto religious leaders as sources of hope, as part of the "duelling fad".<br />
<br />
[[Reimu Hakurei]] and the others participate in the religious popularity contest and are eventually guided by [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]] to the Human Village at night, where Kokoro searches in vain for her lost mask. Most of the characters who try to stop her come up with their own solutions to her hopelessness, including [[Byakuren Hijiri]] teaching her Buddhism to control her own emotions and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] making her a replacement mask of hope, but none of them completely work.<br />
<br />
Mamizou notices the contradictory actions Kokoro is taking and offers her own advice, which is to stop relying on the masks and discover her own, true emotions through meeting (and fighting) a variety of people. In the process of doing so she discovers her own anger at the religious leaders who are taking advantage of the situation, and Reimu, Byakuren, and Miko team up to stop her. Byakuren and Miko both claim that their solutions solved the problem, and Kokoro is invited to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to perform [[wikipedia:Kagura|Kagura]] as an offering to the gods.<br />
;''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''<br />
The story begins with Kokoro imitating the Kuchisake-onna and asking various people if she was pretty, with those people trying to repel her by saying the word [[wikipedia:Pomade|pomade]], but it doesn't work with Kokoro saying that she is the "new and improved Kuchisake-onna" and attacks them. Nitori, one of the people she encounters, reminds her that she is a mask youkai and it's later revealed that one of Kokoro's masks was cracked. <br />
<br />
Kokoro opts to get Miko to fix the mask, only for [[Mononobe no Futo]] to tell her that she was away at the shrine doing some important business. Futo then notices the [[occult ball]]s that Kokoro possessed. She then wonders why Kokoro would be possessing occult balls as Miko was supposed to have collected them all. Futo then decides she'll take the balls from Kokoro and give them to Miko. After being defeated, Kokoro asks Futo is she was pretty before continuing her quest to find Miko. When Kokoro finally encounters her, Miko tells her that she was busy and cannot fix her mask at the moment. Miko notices the occult balls Kokoro had as well, and tries to defeat Kokoro for them, but fails. Kokoro then heads back to the human village to practice her Kuchisake-onna routine, and after finding out that the Kuchisake-onna attacks her victims regardless of whether they say she's pretty or not, decides to skip the question and attack right away. Afterwards, [[Sumireko Usami]] comes up to her and after Kokoro notices her foreign weapons and abilities, she feels the emotion of surprise for the first time in a while.<br />
<br />
;''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]''<br />
In ''[[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]'', Kokoro lends [[Nitori Kawashiro]] her power over emotions to aid in the reverse engineering of Perfect Posession.<br />
<br />
Kokoro's [[Dream World]] self appears in [[Tenshi Hinanawi]]'s scenario, very angry at the celestial's personality.<br />

Noticing this, [[Mamizou]] approaches Kokoro and helps write ''[[Shinkirou]]'', a modernised comedy based on the events of the religious war.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]<br />
While she was still alive, Miko created the 66 masks which Kokoro was born from. Miko later makes Kokoro a new mask of hope to replace her lost one. However, Kokoro discarded this mask, as its stabilising effect was so powerful that it would eventually cause her to turn back into a set of inanimate objects. Her feelings towards Miko over this are unknown.<br />
;[[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]]<br />
Mamizou keeps an eye on Kokoro during the events of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and gives her some advice to help her develop her emotions. Afterwards she helps write ''[[Shinkirou]]'' for Kokoro to perform.<br />
;[[Koishi Komeiji]]<br />
Kokoro considers Koishi her arch-enemy, for finding her old Mask of Hope and refusing to return it.<br />

何故失われたかは不明(恐らくただの過失)だが、その影響が刹那的な<br /><br />
お祭り騒ぎを生んだ。<br />
<br />
本来の彼女はそれぞれの感情がバランスを取り合い安定しているが、<br /><br />

Hata no Kokoro<br />
<br />
Species: Menreiki<br /><br />
Ability: Ability to manipulate emotion<br />
<br />
A youkai created, after a long time had passed, from the masks used<br /><br />
by the father of Sarugaku performance, Hata no Kawakatsu.<br /><br />
Each mask depicts an emotion, and putting on a mask will change one's emotions.<br /><br />
Those emotions influence those around the wearer, as well.<br />
<br />
She has a total of sixty-six masks.<br />
<br />
Each and every mask has an emotion assigned to it, but since there are quite too many,<br /><br />
she normally only uses the masks for the four emotions of joy, anger, pathos, and humor.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because her story is discussed in detail in-game this time, not all of it will be discussed here,<br /><br />
but the incident began with her "Mask of Hope" being lost.<br /><br />
The reason why it was lost is unknown (probably just an accident), but its influence<br /><br />
is what caused the sudden rioting.<br />
<br />
Originally, she stabilized herself by having each emotion hold their balance with each other,<br /><br />
but losing just one mask caused her emotions' original powers to interfere with each other, and she went berserk.<br />
<br />
In fact, when she's stabilized, she hardly lets any emotions show. She shows interest in nothing,<br /><br />
and aside from when her masks are required, she just quietly acts as a tsukumogami.<br /><br />
Because of that, some say that when she goes berserk, she seems more human-like.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yoshika Miyako'''|宮古 芳香|Miyako Yoshika}} is a [[Jiang Shi]] who is of an ancient era of Japan who was revived by [[Seiga Kaku]] to be the guard of [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Yoshika first appeared as the stage 3 [[boss]] of ''[[Ten Desires]]'' and as an assistant of Seiga on the stage 4 boss battle, and performed attacks with her along with the title "Loyal Undead." She appeared in the background of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and was a 4th Day Boss in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />
<br />
In order to not decompose like normal [[Jiang Shi]] do, she has an anti-decomposition spell placed on her. She has no sense or self, and does not know pain or fatigue, which allows her to bring out all possible physical strength and creates great difficulty to encounter. She usually attacks people for no particular reason, but is easy to run away from. However, she is set to have a particular amount of health and even when defeated, she immediately recovers a few seconds later as shown Stage 4 of ''[[Ten Desires]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
According to ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', she doesn't have much of a personality as a jiang shi, but whenever she is not under Seiga's control she does seem to revert back to the personality she had when she was alive. She has been seen reciting poetry while staring into empty space. Her thinking patterns are like a forgotten age of computers. Even regarding conversations with the main character, she forgot that she had a mistress, and did not remember what she was protecting, and is therefore a considerably problematic way of thinking.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Prior to the events of ''[[Ten Desires]]'', Yoshika is Seiga's faithful servant who guards the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]]. Her current activities are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;:Eating anything<br />
As literally stated. When she's hurt, she can suck in the surrounding [[divine spirit]]s and eat them to increases her HP back to full, thus furnishing her with an ability to "''recover her HP''". If this is ignored, then it wouldn't be possible to defeat her [[spell card]]s, as time would run out. This could be why [[Kogasa Tatara]] wasn't able to win against her during ''[[Ten Desires]]''.<br />
<br />
Jiang shi seek out lifeblood and walk around aimlessly, and also has the characteristic of turning opponents into jiang shi upon bite. Yoshika also turns the living into jiang shi, and has a proactive attitude about increasing her companions. This behaviour may be due to a command, or it may be an instinctual behaviour of jiang shi.<br />
<br />
===Species===<br />
Since she's a [[Jiang Shi]], her body is unusually stiff, and her joints cannot twist, and therefore she cannot walk straight. Seiga, in order to protect from injury, seems to recommend [[Wikipedia:Calisthenics|calisthenics]] to her.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:ThGKSeiga.png|thumb|right|150px|Yoshika with [[Seiga Kaku]] in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''.]]<br />
===Origin===<br />
[[ZUN]] stated in an interview that her original design was too similar to Lei-lei(Hsien-ko) from [[wikipedia:Darkstalkers|Darkstalkers]]. Considering it too cliché, he instead made Yoshika a zombie whose brain was rotting away and was thus stupid.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo||宮古 芳香|Yoshika Miyako}}. The {{nihongo||宮古|Miyako}} in her name means "ancient palace", while {{nihongo||芳香|Yoshika}} means "fragrance", "perfume" if read together. The {{nihongo||芳|Yoshi}} can also mean "fragrance", "beautiful", "virtuous" when standing alone, and {{nihongo||香|ka}} "incense", which might be referring to either Yoshika being a jiang shi, or her guarding a graveyard.<br />
<br />
Her name comes from {{nihongo|Miyako no Yoshika|[[wikipedia:ja:都良香|都良香]]}}, a ninth century Japanese scholar and poet. Legends say that 100 years after he left office, he was spotted on a mountain as a [[hermit]], his face unchanged.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Ten Desires]]'''s official art, Yoshika has pale skin, dark blue hair and eyes. She wears a blue hat with a yellow star and an [[Ofuda|ofuda]] on the forehead, which apparently has a to-do list written on it by her master. She wears a red Chinese-styled shirt with a pink trim on the wide sleeves, and a black skirt with the same trim wrapped around it like a ribbon. She keeps her arms ahead, like a zombie.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Ten Desires''<br />
[[File:Th13YoshikaSprite.png|frame|Yoshika's sprite in ''TD'']]<br />
When the heroine reaches the graveyard adjacent to the [[Myouren Temple]], Yoshika meets her there. Having been revived to protect the Mausoleum from intruders, a fact which takes her a little while to remember, she does battle with the heroine and loses. Later, in stage 4, she is revived again and returns to team up with her master [[Seiga Kaku]], but the two were defeated.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Yoshika.png|frame|Yoshika in ''HM'']]<br />
Yoshika made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] stage. She is seen standing on the mausoleum watching the many fights.<br />
<br />
;''Impossible Spell Card''<br />
Presumably from hearing or seeing a wanted sign about the mischief-making [[amanojaku]] [[Seija Kijin]], Yoshika appears to be one of the many [[youkai]] that tries to capture her. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge. Not only did she try to capture her independently, she was also controlled by her master on one spell card. <br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
[[File:ThGK Bunbunmaru2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Yoshika with [[Rin Kaenbyou]] in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]].'']]<br />
;''Symposium of Post-mysticism''<br />
:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 2|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism: Speaking for the Mysterious Zombie}}<br />
Humans that visited the graveyard started getting worried, as Yoshika had reappeared there and was driving everyone away. They bring in [[Rin Kaenbyou]] to communicate with her and through a translator, she claims she isn't particularly intent on harming anyone, but just feels she has to defend the graveyard no matter what.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===People in Senkai===<br />
Yoshika is a corpse reanimated by [[Seiga Kaku]] in order to protect the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] during [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s resurrection. Seiga is generally a master who treats her like a tool, but also thinks she's a cute underling who's rotten, and even in battle, she can be seen diligently reviving Yoshika.<br />
<br />
[[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] is a fellow ally of the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] and the purpose of guarding it under Seiga Kaku's orders. [[Mononobe no Futo]] and [[Soga no Tojiko]] are also fellow allies. However, no actual relationship between these three are established.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;People in the Myouren Temple<br />
Yoshika Miyako purpose for guarding the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum was to prevent [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the rest of her allies of [[Myouren Temple]] from interfering with Toyosatomimi no Miko's resurrection. Also, Yoshika's presence in the cemetery becomes an unknown threat for [[Kogasa Tatara]].<br />
<br />
;[[Rin Kaenbyou]]<br />
Rin is brought in to the graveyard to communicate with her and find out her intentions during the events of an article in ''Symposium of Post-mysticism''.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*She has a star on her hat that is similar to [[Hong Meiling]]'s, but without a symbol.<br />
*The relationship between Yoshika and Seiga probably is caused from the fact that the inspirations of both of them appears in [[Wikipedia:Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio|Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio]]. There is a story "dead body incident" ({{zh|s=尸变|t=屍變}}), the 7th chapter of the 13th volume.<br />
*According to legends, [[wikipedia:ja:茨木童子|Ibaraki-douji]], model of [[Kasen Ibaraki]], was deeply impressed after reading Miyako no Yoshika's works. Moreover, Kasen is seen reciting one of his poems in the first chapter of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]''.<br />
*Yoshika is currently the only character in the whole series who can heal herself during a battle.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yoshika Miyako'''|宮古 芳香|Miyako Yoshika}} is a [[Jiang Shi]] who is of an ancient era of Japan who was revived by [[Seiga Kaku]] to be the guard of [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Yoshika first appeared as the stage 3 [[boss]] of ''[[Ten Desires]]'' and as an assistant of Seiga on the stage 4 boss battle, and performed attacks with her along with the title "Loyal Undead." She appeared in the background of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and was a 4th Day Boss in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.<br />
<br />
In order to not decompose like normal [[Jiang Shi]] do, she has an anti-decomposition spell placed on her. She has no sense or self, and does not know pain or fatigue, which allows her to bring out all possible physical strength and creates great difficulty to encounter. She usually attacks people for no particular reason, but is easy to run away from. However, she is set to have a particular amount of health and even when defeated, she immediately recovers a few seconds later as shown Stage 4 of ''[[Ten Desires]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
According to ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', she doesn't have much of a personality as a jiang shi, but whenever she is not under Seiga's control she does seem to revert back to the personality she had when she was alive. She has been seen reciting poetry while staring into empty space. Her thinking patterns are like a forgotten age of computers. Even regarding conversations with the main character, she forgot that she had a mistress, and did not remember what she was protecting, and is therefore a considerably problematic way of thinking.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Prior to the events of ''[[Ten Desires]]'', Yoshika is Seiga's faithful servant who guards the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]]. Her current activities are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;:Eating anything<br />
As literally stated. When she's hurt, she can suck in the surrounding [[divine spirit]]s and eat them to increases her HP back to full, thus furnishing her with an ability to "''recover her HP''". If this is ignored, then it wouldn't be possible to defeat her [[spell card]]s, as time would run out. This could be why [[Kogasa Tatara]] wasn't able to win against her during ''[[Ten Desires]]''.<br />
<br />
Jiang shi seek out lifeblood and walk around aimlessly, and also has the characteristic of turning opponents into jiang shi upon bite. Yoshika also turns the living into jiang shi, and has a proactive attitude about increasing her companions. This behaviour may be due to a command, or it may be an instinctual behaviour of jiang shi.<br />
<br />
===Species===<br />
Since she's a [[Jiang Shi]], her body is unusually stiff, and her joints cannot twist, and therefore she cannot walk straight. Seiga, in order to protect from injury, seems to recommend [[Wikipedia:Calisthenics|calisthenics]] to her.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:ThGKSeiga.png|thumb|right|150px|Yoshika with [[Seiga Kaku]] in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''.]]<br />
===Origin===<br />
[[ZUN]] stated in an interview that her original design was too similar to Lei-lei(Hsien-ko) from [[wikipedia:Darkstalkers|Darkstalkers]]. Considering it too cliché, he instead made Yoshika a zombie whose brain was rotting away and was thus stupid.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo||宮古 芳香|Yoshika Miyako}}. The {{nihongo||宮古|Miyako}} in her name means "ancient palace", while {{nihongo||芳香|Yoshika}} means "fragrance", "perfume" if read together. The {{nihongo||芳|Yoshi}} can also mean "fragrance", "beautiful", "virtuous" when standing alone, and {{nihongo||香|ka}} "incense", which might be referring to either Yoshika being a jiang shi, or her guarding a graveyard.<br />
<br />
Her name comes from {{nihongo|Miyako no Yoshika|[[wikipedia:ja:都良香|都良香]]}}, a ninth century Japanese scholar and poet. Legends say that 100 years after he left office, he was spotted on a mountain as a [[hermit]], his face unchanged.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Ten Desires]]'''s official art, Yoshika has pale skin, dark blue hair and eyes. She wears a blue hat with a yellow star and an [[Ofuda|ofuda]] on the forehead, which apparently has a to-do list written on it by her master. She wears a red Chinese-styled shirt with a pink trim on the wide sleeves, and a black skirt with the same trim wrapped around it like a ribbon. She keeps her arms ahead, like a zombie.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Ten Desires''<br />
[[File:Th13YoshikaSprite.png|frame|Yoshika's sprite in ''TD'']]<br />
When the heroine reaches the graveyard adjacent to the [[Myouren Temple]], Yoshika meets her there. Having been revived to protect the Mausoleum from intruders, a fact which takes her a little while to remember, she does battle with the heroine and loses. Later, in stage 4, she is revived again and returns to team up with her master [[Seiga Kaku]], but the two were defeated.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Yoshika.png|frame|Yoshika in ''HM'']]<br />
Yoshika made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] stage. She is seen standing on the mausoleum watching the many fights.<br />
<br />
;''Impossible Spell Card''<br />
Presumably from hearing or seeing a wanted sign about the mischief-making [[amanojaku]] [[Seija Kijin]], Yoshika appears to be one of the many [[youkai]] that tries to capture her. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge. Not only did she try to capture her independently, she was also controlled by her master on one spell card. <br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
[[File:ThGK Bunbunmaru2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Yoshika with [[Rin Kaenbyou]] in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]].'']]<br />
;''Symposium of Post-mysticism''<br />
:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 2|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism: Speaking for the Mysterious Zombie}}<br />
Humans that visited the graveyard started getting worried, as Yoshika had reappeared there and was driving everyone away. They bring in [[Rin Kaenbyou]] to communicate with her and through a translator, she claims she isn't particularly intent on harming anyone, but just feels she has to defend the graveyard no matter what.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===People in Senkai===<br />
Yoshika is a corpse reanimated by [[Seiga Kaku]] in order to protect the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] during [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]'s resurrection. Seiga is generally a master who treats her like a tool, but also thinks she's a cute underling who's rotten, and even in battle, she can be seen diligently reviving Yoshika.<br />
<br />
[[Toyosatomimi no Miko]] is a fellow ally of the [[Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum]] and the purpose of guarding it under Seiga Kaku's orders. [[Mononobe no Futo]] and [[Soga no Tojiko]] are also fellow allies. However, no actual relationship between these three are established.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;People in the Myouren Temple<br />
Yoshika Miyako purpose for guarding the Hall of Dreams' Great Mausoleum was to prevent [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the rest of her allies of [[Myouren Temple]] from interfering with Toyosatomimi no Miko's resurrection. Also, Yoshika's presence in the cemetery becomes an unknown threat for [[Kogasa Tatara]].<br />
<br />
;[[Rin Kaenbyou]]<br />
Rin is brought in to the graveyard to communicate with her and find out her intentions during the events of an article in ''Symposium of Post-mysticism''.<br />

<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
*She has a star on her hat that is similar to [[Hong Meiling]]'s, but without a symbol.<br />
*The relationship between Yoshika and Seiga probably is caused from the fact that the inspirations of both of them appears in [[Wikipedia:Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio|Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio]]. There is a story "dead body incident" ({{zh|s=尸变|t=屍變}}), the 7th chapter of the 13th volume.<br />
*According to legends, [[wikipedia:ja:茨木童子|Ibaraki-douji]], model of [[Kasen Ibaraki]], was deeply impressed after reading Miyako no Yoshika's works. Moreover, Kasen is seen reciting one of his poems in the first chapter of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]''.<br />
*Yoshika is currently the only character in the whole series who can heal herself during a battle.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hatate Himekaidou'''|姫海棠 はたて|Himekaidou Hatate}} is the deuteragonist of [[Double Spoiler]]. She's a [[tengu]] reporter who produces the [[Kakashi Spirit News]]. Unlike her colleague [[Aya Shameimaru]], she never goes outside for her newspaper research. Instead, she uses her ability called {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:Nensha|thoughtography]]|念写|nensha}}. After reading Aya's [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]], she decided to observe Aya's way of gathering for her articles. She first appeared in ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and subsequently has only appeared in spin-off games.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
===Personality===<br />
Hatate is a perky, casual speaking, fun-loving, crow tengu who greatly dislikes working. She is known as a shut-in who prefers to stay indoors, using thoughtography to collect information for her articles. She holds a strong discontent towards the rigid tengu caste system and greatly resents the workload placed upon her. <br />
<br />
In contrast to her outward personality, her articles are very informative and thoughtful. She’s a nonconformist who writes from an innovative and progressive viewpoint. For instance, in [[Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia]], Hatate wrote an article describing the technological benefits outsiders like [[Sumireko Usami]] could bring to Gensokyo.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Spirit photography<br />
Hatate's ability allows her to be aware of distant happenings. Her thoughtography is similar to telegnosis, with the addition of being able to take pictures with it. She takes pictures by inputting keywords into her camera, which brings up the associated photos. With this ability, Hatate can gather information and pictures without ever having to leave her room. This makes it a very convenient ability for journalism but because thoughtography relies on what has already been heard, the articles Hatate writes lack speed and freshness.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Hatate Himekaidou''|姫海棠 はたて}}. The kanji for {{nihongo|姫海棠|Himekaidou}} mean "princess", "sea/beach" and "crabapple tree" respectively. ''Himekaidou'' itself is a kind of [[Wikipedia:Malus sieboldii|toringo crabapple]]. ''[[Wikipedia:Hime kaidō|Hime kaidou]]'' also refers to a side-road, often taken by women or travelers who wanted to avoid thieves.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Hatate is shown to have brown eyes, and long brown hair in pigtails with purple ribbons. She wears a pinkish shirt with purple trim on the collar and a thin black tie, a black band around one arm, a purple tokin, a skirt in black/purple checker pattern with a floral pattern on the purple, a small brown pouch on her hip, thigh-high black socks (which are rolled down just below her knees), and pale purple-ish red geta sandals with purple straps. She carries a camera, looking like a modern cell phone, with a yellow/dark yellow checker pattern, a heart on it, and a brush hanging from it like a charm. Just like Aya, she is also shown to have pointed ears in her Double Spoiler artwork.<br />
<br />
Hatate's clothes have a lot of purple color. Purple color symbolizes "mystic" or "royalty". "Mystic" might be associated with her spiritual powers. "Royalty" might refer to ''Himekaidou'' - princess. It may be also a reference to the deadly sin, "pride".<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Spin-off games===<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
[[File:Th125HatateBackSprite.png|frame|left|Hatate's back sprite in ''DS'']]<br />
[[File:Th125HatateSprite.png|frame|Hatate's sprite in ''DS'']]<br />
:{{Main|Double Spoiler#Story|l1=Double Spoiler Story}}<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Hatate appeared as a Spoiler [[stage]] target (after the Extra stage), who confronts Aya, and has a picture-taking showdown with her, all the while debating the pros of her journalistic style and the cons of Aya's journalistic style, forcing Aya to take photos of her [[spell card]]s. Hatate has a unique way of [[danmaku]], and that is taking her own photo's of Aya's [[hit box]]. If defeated, Hatate becomes the second playable character, having to re-visit all the cast characters and take photos of their spell cards Aya has already covered, hence the word "Double" in the game's title. The gameplay with Hatate is extremely similar to Aya's, with minor differences.<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Hatate.png|frame|Hatate in ''HM'']]<br />
Hatate made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Myouren Temple]] and [[Genbu Ravine]] stage. She is seen standing on top of the temple in the former and on a pipe in the latter, taking photographs with her thoughtography camera.<br />
<br />
;''Impossible Spell Card''<br />
In ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'', Hatate (been one of the [[tengu]] mentioned by [[Mamizou Futatsuiwa]]) takes notice of minorities trying to capture the mischief-making [[amanojaku]] [[Seija Kijin]], who also appears to be one of the many [[youkai]] that tries to capture her on day 6. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge. She apparently writes up an article about this, which makes stronger [[human]]s and [[youkai]] try to capture Seija.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit''<br />
In ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', she and [[Aya Shameimaru]] appear to be covering [[Kanako Yasaka]]'s nuclear reactor experiment, which may point to Hatate trying to collect field data.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Aya Shameimaru===<br />
As of ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Hatate regards Aya as a rival newspaper writer and competitor.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Momiji Inubashiri]]<br />
Hatate appears to somewhat admire her colleague ''[[Momiji Inubashiri]]'''s senses of sight and smell, and is rather impressed by her [[spell card]]s.<br />
<br />
;[[Tenma]]<br />
Hatate's chief is ''[[Tenma]]''.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*A silhouette of Hatate occupies the front of [[Double Spoiler]]'s jewel case.<br />
*Her thoughtography camera closely resembles a cell phone of some sort. It was apparently made by the [[kappa]]. It is possible that the kappa reverse-engineered something left behind by someone who was spirited away to [[Gensokyo]].<br />
*The articles on her in [[Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia]] imply that she is younger than Aya.<br />

Himekaidou Hatate<br />
<br />
Race: Crow Tengu<br /><br />
Ability: Spirit photography.<br /><br />
<br />
Hatate is a reporter that never goes outside for her newspaper research.<br /><br />
She takes pictures using thoughtography and uses them for her articles.<br /><br />
<br />
Hatate's thoughtography works by inputting keywords for her camera, which she uses to find associated photos.<br /><br />
<br />
She doesn't feel the need to go outside because this is convenient.<br /><br />
<br />
The newspaper she writes, ''Kakashi Spirit News'', has never been that popular.<br /><br />
This is only natural, for the articles she wrote were things people had heard of already.<br /><br />
Thoughtography lacks speed and freshness.<br /><br />
<br />
Then Hatate read Aya's ''Bunbunmaru Newspaper''.<br /><br />
<br />
"These articles are utter nonsense, but why do they have this strange appeal? Why is it that its headlines never overlap with other newspapers'?"<br /><br />
<br />
In order to find out Aya's secret, Hatate decided to observe her.<br /><br />
<br />
That was when she found out Aya's secret.<br /><br />
Aya wasn't covering events; Aya was causing the events themselves.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hisoutensoku'''|非想天則}} was an unknown huge object seen roaming around the [[Misty Lake]] in the events of [[Touhou Hisoutensoku|the game of the same name]]. It was spotted by numbers of characters before it mysteriously vanished, being mistaken variously for a [[wikipedia:Brocken spectre|Brocken spectre]], a [[Wikipedia:Giant robot (science fiction)|giant robot]], a [[Daidarabotchi]], and [[Taisui Xingjun]]. In fact, Hisoutensoku was a nuclear reactor-powered attraction created by the [[kappa]] to advertise their upcoming {{nihongo|"Future Water Youkai Bazaar"|未来水妖バザー|mirai suiyou bazaa}}.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
===Origin===<br />
The design of Hisoutensoku resembles that of [[Wikipedia:Gakutensoku|Gakutensoku]] ({{lang|ja|学天則}} "learning from natural law") at many points: Both of them are big, robotic humanoids, are made for a happy purpose, move pneumatically (the former by compressed air, the latter by steam), appear to be smiling, and grip something in their hands. The last point of similarity might be especially important.<br />
<br />
Gakutensoku held Reikantou ({{lang|ja|霊感灯}}, "Light of Inspiration") in his left hand and a quill resembling a [[Wikipedia:Signal arrow|kabura ya]] in his right hand. Hisoutensoku holds a [[Wikipedia:Morning star (weapon)|morning star]] similar to Reikantou. This tells us that Gakutensoku uses a weapon effectively or thinks through writing, while Hisoutensoku only grasps it for ornamentation or never thinks through it. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sci-museum.jp/server_sci/promot/press_p.html|title=東洋初のロボット「学天則(がくてんそく)」の復元作業が終了 ー4月24日(木)に報道関係者向け内見会を行いますー|language=ja|accessdate=2011-10-29}}</ref> [[File:HisouTensokuGiant.png|frame|left|Hisoutensoku's shadow on the title screen of [[Touhou Hisoutensoku]].]]<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Seen in ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'' endings, Hisoutensoku is a giant [[Robot|robotic]]-looking humanoid covered in gold with a red chest and pointed red wings. It has blue eyes (pink on the cover of ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku OST|Touhou Hisoutensoku ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK]]''), spikes emerging from the sides of its head, and a spherical "hat" with slightly-curved lines going around it. It holds a [[Wikipedia:Morning star (weapon)|morning star]] and its facial expression never changes.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;Touhou Hisoutensoku<br />
:{{main|Touhou Hisoutensoku/Story|l1=Touhou Hisoutensoku Story}}<br />
Excitedly floating along the banks of the Misty Lake, the ice fairy [[Cirno]] believes it to be a mythical giant [[youkai]] called a [[Daidarabotchi]]. If that's true, Cirno thinks, and if she can "tame" it, then she won't ever have to fear anything again.<br />
<br />
The [[shrine maiden]] [[Sanae Kochiya]] isn't sure what to think of the giant shape she sees moving in the distance. The best she can come up with is that it might be a giant robot, like those she's seen in anime or manga, and sets off towards the lake to investigate.<br />
<br />
[[Hong Meiling]], Chief of Security and Gatekeeper of the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], sees the giant shape from the roof of the manor and anxiously wonders if the tales she'd heard about a God of Cataclysm from the [[Wikipedia:Mainland China|mainland]], "[[Taisui Xingjun]]", might be coming true. Meiling realizes that if it is indeed Taisui Xingjun, then [[Gensokyo]] will soon be attacked by countless minions of the wrathful deity, bringing with them all manner of catastrophes and natural disasters. Determined to spread the alarm, Meiling rushes into the [[:File:SDM-LibraryNight.jpg|library]] to warn Lady [[Patchouli Knowledge|Patchouli]].<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Some of the symbols written on Gakutensoku's pedestal coincide with some Touhou characters: The sun is at the center, which indicates a [[Wikipedia:Yatagarasu|yatagarasu]] as the core, and a frog and snake are on the right side on it. The yatagarasu probably originally pointed to Tennou, and the frog and snake were there as typical animals. From the Touhou perspective, however, the setting of Hisoutensoku takes it to mean that Utsuho activates it and Suwako and Kanako empower her.<br />
*Hisoutensoku is one of the few characters in the entire series to have appeared in a game without ever having been a playable character or a boss character, presumably due to Hisoutensoku not having an independent mind (being an advertisement attraction) or its immense size.<br />
*Hisoutensoku is similar in appearance to [[wikipedia:Mazinger Z|Mazinger Z]] (the first "[[wikipedia:Super Robot|Super Robot]]"), particularly while the latter is equipped with its "Scrander" wings. [[Touhou_Hisoutensoku/Music#Notes|Some of the songs in its game are also named in the style of old-school Super Robot anime]].<br />
*The title of the ''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku OST]]'', {{nihongo|"Thermonuclear Titan Hisoutensoku"|核熱造神ヒソウテンソク|Kakunetsuzoushin Hisoutensoku}}, spells Hisoutensoku's name in katakana rather than kanji. This spelling is also seen on concept art included with the CD.<br />

}}<br />
{{nihongo|'''Minamitsu Murasa'''|村紗 水蜜|Murasa Minamitsu}} is the spirit of a young drowning victim who afterwards became a notorious threat due to her power to sink ships. She is currently the captain of the [[Palanquin Ship]], searching for the fragments of the Flying Storage. She meets the heroine as she is completing the preparations to travel to [[Makai]]. Her unique weapons include the anchors she uses, as well as her ladle, which is apparently bottomless, according to an interview with [[ZUN]] and her [[spell card]] comments in ''[[Double Spoiler]]''.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Minamitsu is a ghost who died long ago in a shipwreck. She first appeared as the Fourth stage boss of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''. Because she was attached out in the sea, she couldn't cross the [[Sanzu River]], so she stayed in [[Gensokyo]].<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
While Minamitsu is a rather fearsome [[phantom]], she is still kind-hearted with a bright personality. Mainly due to her ties with the [[Myouren Temple]], she could empathize with [[human]]s and her victims, and thus chooses them more carefully. She also chats with the victims she capsizes.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Causing shipwrecks<br />
Minamitsu possesses the ability to cause shipwrecks. Her ability appears to be odd compared to a regular ghost, which is because she drowned at sea a long time ago. Due to a certain attachment to the ocean she kept capsizing passing ships. She can also drown anyone near water, which goes as far as drowning someone who is bathing in hot spring water, or sitting peacefully near a river's edge. This is also why she is seen around places with a lot of water. However, [[Gensokyo]] does not have any seas, so this ability seldom plays a major role.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
While she was alive she was the captain of a ship, but after she was drowned with it she did nothing but capsize other ships. When [[Byakuren Hijiri]] eventually arrived she was asked to steer her old ship, the eventual [[Palanquin Ship]]. Currently she is a follower of the [[Myouren Temple]].<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
She carries her own ladle, which she uses to flood the ships of her victims with water. In her early ghost years she used to ask for a ladle, though. She also carries an anchor which she uses in battle, but its significance aside from that is unknown.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
After her death, Minamitsu became a spirit, bound to the ocean due to her lingering attachment to the world. Because of her spite, she eventually became renowned far and wide for capsizing ships. Many feared her, and tried to think of ways to somehow restrict her actions, but it wasn't until the monk [[Byakuren Hijiri]] was asked to do something about it that the situation changed. Minamitsu, knowing how famous the monk was at the time, believed she would be able to extend her influence even farther by sinking her, as well, and perhaps even escape her connection to the ocean and attack [[human]]s on land.<br />
<br />
However, when Byakuren did appear before her on the seas completely defenseless, Minamitsu sunk her ship easily, prompting the spirit to wonder why. Byakuren then reappeared on the surface atop a shining ship, which she had constructed using the ship Minamitsu had died on as a design. Moved by the monk's insight and her own sense of nostalgia, she accepted Byakuren's offer to captain the shining ship.<br />
<br />
Eventually, after Byakuren was sealed away, Minamitsu was "buried" into the ground along with her ship. Having been long forgotten, Minamitsu and the rest of the [[youkai]] were pushed above ground in [[Gensokyo]] by a geyser - likely due to the events in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' - along with the palanquin ship and the fragments of the floating vault.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:ThGKMurasa.png|thumb|Murasa, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
She is a {{nihongo|ship [[phantom]]|船幽霊|funa yuurei}}, the ghost of a girl who drowned at sea. These types of ghosts are famous in Japanese folklore for capsizing and sinking ships, which inspired her character background and [[spell card]]s. Her ladle goes with the folklore; the ghost would approach you and demand a ladle, and then you would save yourself by giving them a ladle with a hole in the bottom. <br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|'''Minamitsu Murasa'''|村紗 水蜜|Murasa Minamitsu}} Her given name {{nihongo|"Minamitsu"|水蜜}} is a word that usually refers to the type of peach {{nihongo|''suimitsu tou''|水蜜桃|}} or the peach itself (literally, it means "water honey"). Her surname {{nihongo|"Murasa"|村紗|}} is taken from the type of ship phantom called {{nihongo|''murasa''|ムラサ|}} known in the [[wikipedia:Oki District, Shimane|Oki District]], [[wikipedia:Shimane Prefecture|Shimane]]. Similar to [[Satori Komeiji]] and [[Nue Houjuu]] whose names also taken from their species' name, it's assumed that when she's referred by the name written in kanji, it's referring her by her own name, while using the name in katakata she is referred by her species.<ref>''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' — Captain Murasa's [[Undefined Fantastic Object/Music|music comment]].</ref> She is more commonly known as "Captain Murasa".<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Minamitsu has short, black hair and a teal eyecolor. Her clothes are designed after a regular sailor's outfit, with a white shirt and skirt with blue lines. Around her neck she has a neckerchief. In some of her [[spell card]]s, she is seen with a green aura, most likely her ghost form. [[ZUN]] stated in an interview that the design for Minamitsu was the hardest to finish. He had much more sketches of Minamitsu with different hairstyles and haircolor in comparison to the other characters from ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''. He also couldn't decide whether a long or short skirt was better for Minamitsu. Fans got confused whether she wore a skirt or shorts, but art such as in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' proves to be a skirt.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Undefined Fantastic Object''<br />
[[File:Th12MinamitsuSprite.png|frame|Minamitsu's sprite in ''UFO'']]<br />
In ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', Minamitsu meets the heroine as she is making preparations for the ship to go to Hokkai via [[Makai]], where [[Byakuren Hijiri]] is being sealed. Along with [[Nazrin]], [[Ichirin Kumoi]], [[Unzan]] and [[Shou Toramaru]], she is one of the youkai trying to unseal her. Unlike Ichirin, she learns that the heroine doesn't have any particular motive to help the group, and attacks in order to take the fragments of the treasure back. Though she loses out in the end, she had already placed the ship in auto-pilot, so it was too late for the heroine to escape.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
[[File:Th135Murasa.png|frame|Murasa in ''HM'']]<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Murasa appeared as a [[stage]] 5 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 />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Murasa made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Palanquin Ship]] stage. She is seen standing on the ship with an anchor.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Byakuren Hijiri]]<br />
Minamitsu has a very strong relationship with Byakuren, as she is pretty much the youkai captain's savior. After reappearing in [[Gensokyo]], she made a pledge that she would return the favor and rescue Byakuren this time. <br />
<br />
;[[Shou Toramaru]], [[Ichirin Kumoi]] & [[Nazrin]]<br />
She is a colleague of both [[Shou Toramaru|Shou]] and [[Ichirin Kumoi|Ichirin]], though it's unknown exactly how or when they met.<br />

*Her stage theme has a distinctive [[wikipedia:Windows XP|Windows XP]] balloon hint "pop" around 2:10, which probably got in the recording, as stated in [http://twitter.com/korindo/status/2471172052 ZUN's Twitter].<br />
*Like [[Aya Shameimaru]] in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Minamitsu Murasa doesn't seem to have a gimmick/variation based on the playable character (which is something usual in stage 4 bosses). Though, both have a timeout [[spell card]] on Normal, Hard and Lunatic.<br />

<br />
遥か昔、海で舟が転覆して亡くなった人間の霊。<br /><br />
未練から海を離れることが出来ず、そこに通りかかった舟を転覆させる毎日を送っていた。<br />
<br />
彼女は人間から恐れられた。<br /><br />
人間の恐怖の念が彼女を妖怪に変え、ますます自分の自由な行動が制限されるようになった。<br /><br />
その妖怪は、彼女の名前からムラサと呼ばれた。<br />
<br />
そんなある日、彼女に転機が訪れる。<br /><br />
彼女の元にムラサを退治して欲しい、と依頼された一人の僧侶がやってきたのだ。<br />
<br />
彼女にとっても願ったり叶ったりであった。<br /><br />
もうただの人間を乗せた舟を沈めても、妖怪としての力(恐怖)は上がらないと思っていたからだ。<br /><br />
その僧侶、聞けば大層名のある僧侶だと言う。そんな僧侶を乗せた舟を沈めれば、当然妖怪としての格が上がるだろう。<br /><br />
それが成功すれば、私を縛る呪われた海から離れて人間を襲う事も出来るかも知れない。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
――数日後、彼女を退治しにやってきた僧侶を乗せた舟が近づいた。<br /><br />
舟には僧侶の他にも数人の人間が乗っていた。<br /><br />
彼女はありったけの力で、脅してやろうと思った。<br /><br />
ありったけの力で、僧侶の法力を破ってやろうと思った。<br />
<br />
しかし彼女の予想が外れ、僧侶は完全に無防備であった。<br /><br />
ただの人間より手応えが無かったのだ。<br /><br />
あっという間に舟は沈み、数名の人間は全て海に投げ出された。<br />
<br />
彼女は落胆した。<br /><br />
こんな手応えの無い相手を倒したって何の自慢にもならない。<br /><br />
そう思っていた彼女の眼に信じられない光景が映った。<br />
<br />
僧侶は海の上に居た。<br /><br />
さっき転覆させた舟とは異なる、光り輝く舟に乗っていたのだ。<br /><br />
しかもその舟は、遥か昔私が乗っていた物であった。<br />
<br />
「貴方はこの舟を探していたのでしょう?<br /><br />
だから違う舟は全て転覆させてきた」<br />
<br />
僧侶は自分の法力で光の舟を創りだしていたのだ。<br />
<br />
「その舟は……!<br /><br />
ああ懐かしい……なんで」<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
妖怪となった彼女には、剣や矢よりも精神的な攻撃の方が怖かった。<br /><br />
僧侶はその事を知っていた。<br />
<br />
「私達を乗せてきた舟は、不慮の水難事故で沈んでしまいました。<br /><br />
私の法力で新しい舟を創りましたが、これは特殊な舟で操れる者が居ません」<br />
<br />
僧侶は、水から離れられない私に手をさしのべた。<br />
<br />
「この舟を操るのは貴方です」<br />
<br />
その言葉で、彼女は呪われた海を捨てる事が出来た。<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
それから数十年後。<br /><br />
妖怪を救う白蓮が、人間達に捕らわれ封印されてしまった。<br /><br />
それと同時に、白蓮に関わる物品も、地底奥深くに埋められてしまった。<br /><br />
村紗もまた、飛倉と共に埋められてしまったのである。<br />
<br />
まさか間欠泉と共に再び地上に現れる事になるとは、彼女自身も予想していなかった。<br /><br />
そして誓う。<br /><br />
今度は私が白蓮を救う番だ、と。そう、白蓮が生み出した舟に乗って。<br />

Minamitsu Murasa<br />
<br />
Species: Ship phantom<br /><br />
Ability: Causing shipwrecks<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
The spirit of a human who fell off a ship and drowned in the distant past; due to her lingering attachment to this world, she was bound to the ocean and spent her days capsizing passing ships.<br />
<br />
Humans feared her.<br /><br />
Their fears turned her into a youkai, and over time, her ability to act freely was getting more and more restricted.<br /><br />
People called her Murasa, based on her original name.<br />
<br />
And so one day she reached a turning point.<br /><br />
A Buddhist priest who'd been asked to vanquish Murasa appeared.<br />
<br />
It was everything she'd wished for, too.<br />
She didn't think she could expand her power of fear as a youkai just by sinking ships with normal humans on them anymore.<br />
The monk that appeared was apparently very well known. Her status as a youkai would surely rise if she could sink the ship the monk was on.<br />
"If I succeed," she thought, "Maybe I can even free myself from this cursed ocean and attack the humans."<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
―― A few days later, the ship bearing the monk who'd come to defeat her approached.<br /><br />
There were a few other humans besides the monk on that ship.<br /><br />
She thought she'd use all her strength to threaten them.<br /><br />
She thought she'd use all her strength to destroy the monk's Buddhist powers.<br />
<br />
But, contrary to her expectations, the monk was completely defenseless.<br /><br />
She got no response from her beyond that of a normal human.<br /><br />
Before she knew it, the ship was sunk, and all of the people on it were flung into the sea.<br />
<br />
This discouraged her.<br /><br />
There was no pride to be taken in defeating someone so powerless.<br /><br />
As she thought that, an unbelievable spectacle unfolded before her.<br />
<br />
The monk was floating above the ocean.<br /><br />
"She's riding a shining boat—and it's not the one I just capsized.<br /><br />
In fact, that's the ship that I rode in so long ago."<br />
<br />
"You were looking for this ship, right?<br /><br />
That's why you sunk all of those other ships."<br />
<br />
The monk had made the shining ship using her own powers.<br />
<br />
"That ship ... ... !<br /><br />
Ah, how nostalgic ... ... but why?"<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
A youkai like her was much more afraid of spiritual attacks than swords or arrows.<br /><br />
The monk knew this well.<br />
<br />
"The ship that brought us here was sunk in a shipwreck.<br /><br />
I've used my powers to make a new ship, but this is a very special ship, so there's no one that can captain it."<br />
<br />
The monk extended her hand out to me, into the oceans to which I was bound.<br />
<br />
"But you can captain this ship."<br />
<br />
And with those words, she was able to leave these cursed oceans behind.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
A few decades passed.<br /><br />
Byakuren, the youkai saviour, had been captured and sealed by humans.<br /><br />
At the same time, anything related to Byakuren was buried deep beneath the earth.<br /><br />
Murasa, too, had been buried deep beneath the earth with the Flying Storage.<br />
<br />
She never imagined she would be sent flying back above ground by a geyser.<br /><br />
And so, she made a pledge:<br /><br />
"This time, I'll be the one to save Byakuren. Yes, riding the ship that Byakuren created."<br />

{{nihongo|'''Kogasa Tatara'''|多々良 小傘|Tatara Kogasa}} is a [[Tsukumogami#Karakasa obake|karakasa obake]] whose sole purpose is to surprise people. However, she hasn't been very successful so far. She encounters the heroine on their way to catch up with the flying object on a mission to scare her, but it doesn't work. She was once a normal umbrella in the [[outside world]]; forgotten by her owner, and no one else claimed her because the colour was unpopular at the time. As time went on, the wind swept her away to [[Gensokyo]] and she became a [[youkai]]. According to her profile in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', she is currently reading up on classic [[Ghost (Species)|ghost]] stories in order to improve her scaring technique.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Kogasa first appeared as the second stage boss and midboss of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' with the boss theme "Beware the Umbrella Left There Forever", and was later a target on Stage 3 of ''[[Double Spoiler]]''. After, she became the stage 3 midboss of ''[[Ten Desires]]'' and was one of the many background characters shown in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. Additionally, she made cameo appearances in the manga ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'' and ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'', along with having her own article in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
As stated in ZUN's [[Undefined Fantastic Object/Translation/Music|''Undefined Fantastic Object'' music comments]], Kogasa is a cheery happy [[youkai]], but gets easily depressed when things don't go her way (which is very often), typically when she fails to surprise someone despite her best efforts. She stated she wishes for vengeance on [[human]]s for being discarded in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]''. However, she's actually quite friendly to humans and her vengeance doesn't go beyond surprising and spooking humans. She gets genuinely pleased when she successfully surprises someone (or thinks she successfully surprised someone).<br />
<br />
She despises not being taken seriously. She often attacks the protagonist in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' in a fit of despair when she thinks they're making fun of her. She's displeased with children liking her eccentric design.<br />
<br />
Kogasa suffers from self-esteem problems, as she is easily pushed into lamenting about wondering what her purpose is, or that she might be better off if she just went back to being an umbrella. Perhaps due to this, Kogasa is seeking a true purpose of existence for youkai, [[tsukumogami]], and herself. She attempted this by starting a career in babysitting (which did not seem to go very well), surprising people (which also isn't going very well, though she's found some success in the [[Myouren Temple]] graveyard), and was even considering going back to being an umbrella just so she can be useful in that regard. She's stated that she's trying to imagine what humans want, and then plans on becoming that something they can use.<ref name="SoPMKogasa" /> Deep down, it appears this pitiable illegally dumped object and troubled forgotten item just wants to be desired.<br />
<br />
Her depression may also be another attempt at getting attention. She can get so depressed upon failing to surprise someone that it can become "a bother". In ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', [[Reimu Hakurei]] wonders if Kogasa just wanted to be beaten up. That Kogasa ironically treats umbrellas like garbage by throwing them in certain spell cards leads [[Hatate Himekaidou]] to wonder if she wants to be treated like garbage, herself.<br />
<br />
Unlike other youkai, Kogasa doesn't eat humans. Instead, she eats their spirit. In her own words, if she doesn't surprise someone, she'll go hungry. In the past, humans apparently feared youkai enough that she'd get a huge portion of their spirit on a successful surprise, as according to Kogasa in ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', even a slight surprise would make a human have difficulty walking straight. This is apparently no longer the case in the present day.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Surprising humans<br />
This ability to surprise [[human]]s does not appear to be an actual ability beyond what anyone could do, but it's her prime occupation. Kogasa's observed attempts to surprise anyone hasn't really consisted of much more than her screaming "Boo!" or simply attacking someone if pressed. It is the same ability that [[Chen]] has without shikigami (ability to the extent of surprising people), so just like with Chen, it might not be an ability of any substance. Also, there doesn't seem to be any humans that have recently come to be surprised, and whatever she does, it is like it is still trial and error. So far, in the things she said in the game, it has come off as more cute than surprising.<br />
<br />
[[Hatate Himekaidou]] notes that she hides in the darkness to attempt to surprise people, but her hiding places are obvious. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] describes her attempts as child's play, to the point where the greater "threat" from her is how bothersome it can be to deal with her after she gets depressed by her failure to surprise someone. It's sometimes better to just pretend to be surprised in order to please her. Considering this, maybe Kogasa is unable to discern between genuine and fake shock, despite how she feeds by surprising people. It is unknown if a person pretending to be surprised provides her with any sustenance, although it does make her happy.<br />
<br />
However, Kogasa seems to have some interesting interactions with the [[Canon#Fourth wall|fourth wall]], such as: her stated failure to defeat [[Yoshika Miyako]] in ''[[Ten Desires]]'' due to a "time out"; her appearance on the ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' CD saying {{nihongo|"Surprise~"|おどろけー|odoroke~}} despite being stated by [[ZUN]] to not be involved with the story; her appearance as the ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' extra-stage mid-boss despite not having any relation to the story, which comes complete with a "Surprise!" sound effect to hammer the point home (the only extra-stage mid-boss in the series with no real involvement in the story); and dropping the first big power-up in ''[[Ten Desires]]'' upon her defeat. Similarly, she appears on ''Undefined Fantastic Object'''s Steam page as [https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/1100160/ss_2ef88b632f5d1e53b7fc715196fc46d3afe95f45.600x338.jpg?t=1590144027 one of the preview images], presumably to surprise any would-be buyers of the game. It is unknown if this is an in-story [[canon]] ability or just an out-of-story running gag.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
According to Kogasa's conversation with Sanae in ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', as far as Kogasa could tell, she was an umbrella that was thrown out by her original owner because her design was a little off. Eventually, she was blown away with the wind. Unwanted and undesired, the divine spirit residing within the umbrella became angered after being abandoned. Hoping to get back at the human that threw her out, Kogasa became a youkai. She then (badly) modified her own appearance to look more ferocious and youkai-like, and her quest for revenge on humanity (by surprising them!) had begun.<br />
<br />
It is unknown when Kogasa was first abandoned as an umbrella to become a tsukumogami. However, she's expressed to Reimu how she misses the old days when youkai ruled the night, and when even slightly surprising a person made them unable to walk straight. Reimu finds her "old-time" stories uninteresting, and [[Marisa Kirisame]] comments that Kogasa is "really behind the times." This would imply that Kogasa has been around for a long time.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[Image:ThGKKogasa.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogasa as depicted in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Kogasa Tatara''|多々良 小傘}}. The characters for {{nihongo||小傘|Kogasa}} mean "little umbrella". {{nihongo||踏鞴|[[wikipedia:Tatara (furnace)|Tatara]]}} is the traditional Japanese method of smelting iron. Many workers lost an eye checking the colour of the fire to measure its temperature and/or a leg pushing the tatara furnaces. They wore [[wikipedia:Geta (footwear)|geta]] to avoid the heat of floor which brought about the tale of the Ippon Datara, a one-eyed, one-legged youkai that somewhat resembles a karakasa obake.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20130122021648/http://www.obakemono.com:80/obake/ippondatara/</ref> [[Hieda no Akyuu]] states that Kogasa modified the appearance of her umbrella to resemble this youkai, and believes she derives her name from it.<ref name="SoPMKogasa" /><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Kogasa has turquoise hair, one turquoise eye and one red eye. The design purpose of her eyes is likely to be retaining the appearance of [[wikipedia:Kasa-obake|Karakasa obake]], which is an one-eyed youkai, by blending her right eye into her hair that has the same color, and to high-light the left-red eye as an one-eyed one. She wears a blue-green vest with white sleeves and a light blue skirt. She holds a purple umbrella with an eye and a tongue protruding from it. <br />
<br />
Kogasa has been referred to as both: an Umbrella, and an Ghost Umbrella. The umbrella and the girl are actually the same being; she modified the appearance of the umbrella to make herself look more ferocious.<br />
<br />

===Games===<br />
;Undefined Fantastic Object<br />
[[File:Th12KogasaSprite.png|frame|Kogasa's sprite in ''UFO'']]<br />
Kogasa's role in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' is rather limited. In Stage 2, she appears twice, trying to surprise the heroine, who doesn't particularly want anything to do with her, as she is slowing her pursuit of the flying object. They engage in a high-speed aerial battle that inevitably ends with Kogasa's defeat and the heroine's arrival at the flying object. Also inevitably, she misinterprets what the heroine says as the answer to how to surprise humans. She returns in the extra stage under the assumption that it being night is enough to scare humans, and is defeated once again by the heroine. As such, she is the only character that is completely unrelated to the story in ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', as well as the only unrelated character to be in an Extra Stage.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Reimu A's Scenario#Stage2|l1=Reimu A Arc}}<br />
Kogasa notices Reimu chasing the treasure ship. Commenting that she's had lots of free time lately, she asks Reimu if she could "play" with her for a bit while chasing the ship. Reimu comments that it must be nice to be a youkai with spare time, even if they did exist just to be exterminated. However, with so many youkai around, Reimu doesn't have time to exterminate every one. Kogasa laments that humans are no fun, and really should plan extra time into their schedule for playing around, to which Reimu remarks that extra time is pointless. The umbrella ghost retorts that pointlessness is beautiful, and life would be terrible if everything were just planned out. As an example, Kogasa states that it's not the functionality of a tool that makes it beautiful. It's the useless parts that create a youkai. Frustrated that she's wasting time having a philosophical discussion with an umbrella, Reimu agrees to play with Kogasa and exterminates her, snapping that Kogasa should just fall out of the sky. Afterwards, Kogasa cries about how cruel humans are, at which Reimu points out that Kogasa seemed like she wanted to lose. Reimu is unable to put her finger on what that's called, so Kogasa remarks that she thinks it's sadism. The shrine maiden notes that it's actually the opposite of that, but the ship is now in view, so she thanks Kogasa for taking her there and heads off.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Reimu B's Scenario#Stage2|l1=Reimu B Arc}}<br />
Kogasa notices Reimu chasing the treasure ship. She tells Reimu that it's unusual to see a human flying around like that, so she came to check things out. Commenting that she's been bored lately, Kogasa expresses disappointment that Reimu wasn't surprised by her. The shrine maiden doesn't see why she should be surprised by an umbrella flying around. At this point, Kogasa starts lamenting at how people no longer fear youkai, remembering how long ago even a little surprise from her made people unable to walk straight. Reimu is annoyed at Kogasa's old stories wasting her time, but her request for Kogasa to move aside is interrupted when Kogasa comes to the conclusion that in order to surprise someone today, you had to beat them up, and the umbrella ghost attacks. After being exterminated, Kogasa cries out wondering what exactly youkai are, but Reimu shrugs it off stating that maybe they were just luxury items, and heads off on her way.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Marisa A's Scenario#Stage2|l1=Marisa A Arc}}<br />
Kogasa notices Marisa chasing the treasure ship, and asks her to wait up. Marisa refuses because she wants to reach the ship. Possibly attempting a reverse psychology gambit, Kogasa decides to listen to her request and states she'll leave Marisa alone, then. Getting suspicious at this behavior, Marisa tells Kogasa she'll wait after all, at which point Kogasa quickly reverses her decision to leave, stating she had lots of free time. Marisa asks if Kogasa is a patrol from the ship, and Kogasa replies that she's just a cheerful youkai that likes to surprise people. She commands Marisa to be surprised, but the witch is not impressed, causing Kogasa to cry. Marisa tells Kogasa to get out of the way, but the umbrella ghost decides that she might be able to surprise Marisa by attacking her. This too fails to surprise Marisa, who states that all youkai are just like that. At this, Kogasa cries again, her reason to live as a youkai apparently being a failure. Marisa sarcastically states that what would really surprise her was if Kogasa's umbrella was even capable of protecting her from the rain. Not realizing Marisa was insulting her, Kogasa wonders if she should go back to doing that, at which point Marisa notices the ship and leaves Kogasa behind.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Marisa B's Scenario#Stage2|l1=Marisa B Arc}}<br />
Kogasa notices Marisa chasing the treasure ship, and asks her to wait. Marisa asks what she wants, and the umbrella ghost replies that she was bored, because no one was ever surprised by her anymore. Marisa snarkily comments that a normal umbrella flying in the wind would be scarier than Kogasa because it at least might bump into you. Not realizing Marisa was insulting her, Kogasa decides to try just that, proclaiming that she'll smash Marisa up. After Marisa smashed Kogasa up, Marisa expresses confusion that Kogasa seemed softer than an actual umbrella. Thinking on this, Kogasa realizes that she's soft like konjac jelly, and maybe she could use that to surprise humans! Marisa can only comment that Kogasa is really behind the times.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Sanae A's Scenario#Stage2|l1=Sanae A Arc}}<br />
Kogasa notices Sanae chasing the treasure ship, and asks her to wait up. Sanae asks what she wants, to which Kogasa replies with a "Boo!" The shrine maiden is unable to figure out what Kogasa's doing. Sighing, Kogasa remarks that she's lonely and asks if Sanae could at least be a little surprised, but Sanae states she's used to those things. Depressed, Kogasa explains that youkai were trying their best to surprise humans, but Sanae retorts that what she heard was they were doing their best to eat humans. Kogasa replies that some youkai eat meat, but others eat spirit, and if humans aren't surprised by her, she'll go hungry. Sanae comments that must be harsh, but at least she could see that getting surprised could be fun. She clarifies to a confused Kogasa that it's because youkai hunting was fun, and promptly exterminates the umbrella. Afterwards, a sad Kogasa asks what the point is of a youkai that can't surprise people, and that maybe she should just go back to being an umbrella. Sanae wonders if anyone would want an old umbrella that looks like an eggplant, which just makes Kogasa further depressed as it reminds her that being unwanted was why she became a youkai in the first place. The shrine maiden regrets bringing it up.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Sanae B's Scenario#Stage2|l1=Sanae B Arc}}<br />
Kogasa notices Sanae chasing the treasure ship, and asks her to wait up. Sanae asks what she wants, to which Kogasa replies with a "Boo!" The shrine maiden is unimpressed. She states that ghost umbrellas and "Boo!" were old news, and asks why her umbrella is eggplant colored. Kogasa cries at this, and tells Sanae how she really tried her best to look youkai-like, because she was thrown out by her owner. She wanted to get back at her owner so she became a youkai. Sanae expresses sorrow for Kogasa, but honestly states that if a friend gave her an umbrella like that, she would have refused and just walked home in the rain. Angry that Sanae wouldn't understand her, Kogasa screams that Sanae should just melt in the acid rain and attacks. After Sanae exterminates her, Kogasa snaps that she can't stand it, and threatens that she might just go over and mess up Sanae's shrine. Sanae threatens her right back, stating that such an action would be self-destructive because then she'd have to exterminate Kogasa for real.<br />
<br />
;Ten Desires<br />
After the events of ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', she has been plotting to go scare [[Byakuren Hijiri]] at her newly-built temple. In ''[[Ten Desires]]'', she takes to the cemetery adjacent to the [[Myouren Temple]] and the surrounding sky, but runs afoul of newcomer [[Yoshika Miyako]]. However, after asking the heroine to help her banish Yoshika, she also receives a beating.<br />
<br />
===Spin-off===<br />
[[File:Th135Kogasa.png|frame|Kogasa in ''HM'']]<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Kogasa appeared as a [[stage]] 3 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 />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Kogasa made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Myouren Temple]] and [[Youkai Tanuki Forest]] stage. She is seen hopping with her umbrella.<br />
<br />
;''Submerged Hell of Sunken Sorrow''<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;Wild and Horned Hermit<br />
Kogasa was one of the victims of a mysterious attack.<br />
<br />
In a later chapter, she approaches Reimu during ''Kotoyouka'' with the implicit intent of terrorizing her due to the latter's weakened weapons. It is later revealed that her real reason for doing so is to offer to replace Reimu's needles with her excellent blacksmithing skills, which she eventually does. Reimu, unable to pay the bill, opts to use her new needles on Kogasa instead.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Myouren Temple===<br />
Kogasa has a neutral relationship with [[Myouren Temple]] and is not registered as a member of this faction. Her purpose for staying there is to scare the humans that frequently visit its cemetery.<ref name="SoPMKogasa" /><br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />
;[[Yoshika Miyako]]<br />
Yoshika Miyako's presence in the cemetery becomes an unknown threat for Kogasa.<br />
<br />
;[[Hakurei Shrine]] & [[Moriya Shrine]]<ref name="SoPMKogasa" /><br />
These locations are listed as places that Kogasa frequents in ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'', but no reason is given. In ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', Kogasa tells Sanae that she is considering going to Sanae's shrine to wreck the place as revenge for Sanae being mean to her, which may indicate a possible reason.<br />

==Spell Cards==<br />
Judging by the names and graphics of her danmaku, Kogasa appears to use rain and light attacks in her spell cards (including a rainbow). From a statement by [[Hatate Himekaidou]], the extremely large spinning [[danmaku]] orbs that Kogasa throws are actually umbrellas, which creates an awkward sight of an umbrella attacking by throwing other umbrellas. Her train spell cards are actually extremely dense umbrella barages thrown so fast and so close together that they appear to be a train. Her "Karakasa Surprising Flash" seems to be a blinding flash of light. Finally, her "Umbrella Cyclone" spell card and the fact that her rain attacks can be angled may indicate she may use stormy winds as well, but this is uncertain.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
[[File:Th12CD.jpg|thumb|225px|Surprise~]]<br />
*She is the only character in ''Undefined Fantastic Object'' that has no role in the story.<br />
*She is the only Touhou character so far to have two different eye colours, known as [[wikipedia:Heterochromia|heterochromia]].<br />
*In ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', she says "Urameshiya", which means to be jealous or bitter, while "ya" is similar to saying desu or da. It's often translated as "I'm envious," or simply "Boo," which has become her catchphrase in fandom.<br />
**[[Ghost (Species)|Ghost]]s, [[youkai]], and possessed objects (such as [[Tsukumogami#Karakasa obake|Karakasa obake]]) are said to belong to a lower realm in the Six Realms of Buddhist belief. "Urameshiya" is often said by such creatures to express envy towards humans, whose place in the Human Realm affords them less suffering. Thus, "I envy your life!" would be a more appropriate translation, although it tends to be used in the same context as "Boo!"<br />
*In Symposium of Post-mysticism, she thinks babysitters work similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Poppins_(film) Mary Poppins], referencing the book and film.<br />

She rarely really hurts anyone, she just likes watching people be surprised.<br/>However, not many people have been surprised by her, so she's reading classic ghost stories to improve her technique.<br />

She figured you'd be best off trying to surprise people at night,<br />so that's why she showed up.<br />She didn't know if anyone would really be surprised or not.<br />She is the only passerby youkai in this game.<br />She's currently thinking of plotting to go startle Byakuren, who just opened a temple in Gensokyo.<br />

Race: karakasa obake<br /><br />
Ability: Surprising humans<br />
<br />
A youkai umbrella that wanders around the sky above the temple.<br />She found her place in the cemetery, and found herself living in the cemetery most of the time.<br />This is because while humans that are rarely surprised in the middle of the road, they are easily scared when they are in the cemetery. And she finally did it. Amazing.<br />
<br />
But an incident has crept up to disrupt her truly happy time.<br />
<br />
A youkai who was never seen before has been appearing from the inside of the cemetery, and has been moving around like it was its home ever since.<br />
<br />
She tried to get in contact with that youkai, but she couldn't communicate with the youkai at all. Feeling threatened, she wanted to shoo away the youkai forcefully.<br />
<br />
But that ended up as futility. No matter how she attacked, she couldn't get a response out of it, so she escaped.<br />
<br />
While she was considering whether she should ask for help of the members of the temple, she saw those humans that she saw before. They were those, whom she encountered and fought several times before. <br />
<br />
And so she thought, "They must have come to defeat that youkai!" and decided to ask boldly.<br />
<br />
And she ended up like this.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Nazrin'''|ナズーリン|Nazūrin}} is a [[mouse]] [[youkai]] who's a skilled dowser and the leader of a great number of mice. As the leader of many mice, she often employs them to search for things for her; though if she were to ask them to find food, it would most likely be gone by the time they returned.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Nazrin first appeared as the [[stage]] 1 [[boss]] of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' and later appeared as the stage 5 midboss. She was a target on Stage 7 in ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and made a background appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' describes Nazrin as having a large ego – due to being backed by [[Bishamonten]] himself – but that she is also timid, and would run away as soon as she became frightened. She also apparently eats quite a bit, and depending on how many mice are under her command at a given time, can put a serious dent in crop numbers.<br />
<br />
''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' also mentions that if one is firm and holds their ground while negotiating with her, they can get her to search for lost objects for them - while on the other hand, asking humbly and politely is likely only to inflate her ego.<br />
<br />
Throughout the events of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' she is quite straightforward in speech.<br />
<br />
===Ability and Possessions===<br />
;Finding sought-for items<br />
As stated, Nazrin's ability is being able to find specific objects that are being looked for by someone. In order to effectively utilize the ability, she must have a clear, concrete image of what she is looking for. She presumably uses a pair of [[wikipedia:Dowsing rod|dowsing rods]] to aid her in this effort, which she uses to find gold and treasure, and also is able to order the mice under her command to assist her. The mouse and the [[wikipedia:Dowsing rod|dowsing rods]], freely using a pendulum, perform dowsing. It seems like the rod and the pendulum are utilised in battle, and are used as a shield and as a tool for firing [[danmaku]]. Furthermore, each end of the dowsing rods appears to have a letter. The left one has N (north) and W (west), while the right one has S (south) and E (east). Nazrin owns a pair of [[wikipedia:Dowsing rod|dowsing rods]], which she uses to find gold and treasure. She employs the rods in ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' to search for the lost pagoda of [[Bishamonten]], as well as the fragments of the Flying Storage.<br />
<br />
The origin of this is probably due to a legend where a trial was ordered for [[wikipedia:Ōkuninushi|Ookuninushi]] to marry Suserihime. There, a mouse came back with an arrow that Ookuninushi was searching for. However, for the method to be due to dowsing is not quite accurate, and the standard of searching at that time is unclear. Furthermore, as the ability itself is always ancillary, in the end, she searches at her feet. It also seems like for the sought-for food items, they are devoured by the mice before the food can come to hand.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Nazrin acts as [[Shou Toramaru]]'s faithful helper, but is also the leader of a great deal of ordinary mice. In ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'', she is referred to as Shou's mouse familiar, but in reality she is a high-ranking youkai dispatched by Bishamonten. Because of this, she does not generally reside at the [[Myouren Temple]], and will not visit unless Shou calls upon her.<br />
<br />
She currently resides in a small self-built hut in [[Muenzuka]], because of the treasure that floats in from the outside world.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
Nazrin is a high-ranking youkai dispatched by the god [[Bishamonten]]. She was sent to god's new disciple, [[Shou Toramaru]], to be a helper and also to keep an eye on her.<br />
<br />
==Character Design==<br />
[[File:ThGKNazrin.png|thumb|right|200px|Nazrin as depicted in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her only known name is {{nihongo|''Nazrin''|ナズーリン}}, which could be a reference to {{nihongo||鼠|nezumi}}, the Japanese word for "mouse". Her name could also be derived from [[wikipedia:Nasrin (name)|the Persian name ''Nasrin'']] ({{lang|fa|نسرین}}) with the meaning "wild rose", a widely used name in the Islamic world; various different spellings include ''Nasrin'', ''Nazrin'' and ''Nesrin''. There's also "Nasulin" ({{lang|ru|Насулин}}), a real Russian surname, and it's also the name of a nasal insulin. In the data files for ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', her name was romanised as "nazu-rin".<br />
<br />
[[ZUN]] states in an interview that it made sense to have a mouse be the envoy of the Bishamonten; in the Chinese zodiac, the mouse represents north, as does Bishamonten.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otIrJdoaITI|title=Interview with Chara☆Mel|access-date=9 March 2011|author=Chara☆Mel|language=ja}}</ref><br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Nazrin has gray hair and red eyes. She wears a brownish-black one-piece with pink sleeves and a gray capelet. She also wears a necklace with a crystal pendant. Carries dowsing rods with the letters for the cardinal directions on the ends. She also carries a mouse in a basket by her tail. When she appears as the Stage 5 midboss, she is carrying the jeweled pagoda of [[Bishamonten]].<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
[[File:Th12Nazrin2.png|thumb|right|150px|Nazrin, as seen in Stage 5]]<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Undefined Fantastic Object''<br />
[[File:Th12NazrimSprite.png|frame|Nazrin's sprite in ''UFO'']]<br />
She was asked by [[Shou Toramaru]] to look for the lost pagoda of [[Bishamonten]]. On Stage 1 of ''Undefined Fantastic Object'', Nazrin descends from the flying ship after getting a treasure reading. Either by being provoked to or forced to, she attacks the player. After she loses the battle, she manages to flee the scene. Later she does find what she was looking for - the treasured pagoda, the other key to releasing [[Byakuren Hijiri]] - in a second-hand goods store (conceivably [[Kourindou]]).<br />
<br />
Later, in the middle of Stage 5, she encounters the player once more. Seeing that her allies have brought the player with the treasure, she decides to test out the pagoda against her in the meantime. She loses once more, and escapes to return the pagoda to her master, Shou.<br />
<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
:{{Main|Double Spoiler#Story|l1=Double Spoiler Story}}<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Nazrin appeared as a [[stage]] 7 target, where she demonstrates her dowsing abilities to [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] at their request to dig up a few old coins. Of course, she's actually using them as weapons in the [[spell card]]. She follows up on this by digging up some gold, fully demonstrating her dowsing abilities.<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Nazrin.png|frame|Nazrin in ''HM'']]<br />
Nazrin made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Palanquin Ship]]. She is seen standing on the ship waving her dowsing rods.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;''Wild and Horned Hermit'' chapter 2<br />
She appears in chapter 2 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' along with Shou as part of the large crowd gathered to observe [[Kanako Yasaka|Kanako]] and [[Sanae Kochiya|Sanae]]'s cold fusion experiment.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Shou Toramaru]] and [[Minamitsu Murasa]]<br />
Nazrin, while being a mouse youkai leader herself, is also Shou Toramaru's only known underling. She went to search for the lost pagoda on Shou's command, further showing her loyalty by keeping it a secret from [[Minamitsu Murasa]] - she states in [[Undefined Fantastic Object/Story/Marisa B's Scenario|Marisa B's story]] that Shou was probably too embarrassed to admit having lost it in the first place. It is stated in ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' that she only really comes to the temple when Shou calls her, and otherwise lives in a little house she built near Muenzuka for the purposes of finding treasure there.<br />
;[[Bishamonten]]<br />
Originally, Nazrin had been placed as Shou's underling by Bishamonten in order to keep an eye on her, but as Shou exceeded all expectations, it eventually became unnecessary.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
[[File:NazrinMitsubishi.png|thumb|Comparing Nazrin's diamonds to the [[Wikipedia:Mitsubishi|Mitsubishi]] logo.]]<br />
*According to the game transcript (namely Reimu-A and Marisa-B), Nazrin is the only [[stage]] 1 [[boss]] in a [[Windows]] game to escape rather than actually be defeated by the heroine. She would also be one of two only stage 1 bosses to not been defeated; the other being [[Yuyuko Saigyouji]].<br />
*She is one of the few stage 1 bosses that actually have something to do with the plot, as opposed to "a pointless encounter with a pointless person", as [[Marisa Kirisame]] puts it. Another one is [[Seiran]] in ''[[Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom]]'', who is involved in the lunarian invasion of Gensokyo.<br />
*She is also the only [[Windows]]-era stage 1 boss who attacks the heroines out of necessity rather than aggression (like [[Rumia]] or [[Letty Whiterock]]), or irritation (like [[Yamame Kurodani]] or [[Minoriko Aki]]).<br />
*She was featured on the cover of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'' demo CD.<br />
*Her Hard-Lunatic mid-boss spell card looks almost exactly like [[Sara]]'s last attack pattern. (Also with Rumia, coincidence?)<br />
*The pendulums of her last spell resemble diamonds and when they come together around Nazrin, they form [[Wikipedia:Mitsubishi|Mitsubishi]]'s logo which, interestingly, means "three diamonds". However, this could be considered to be a coincidence.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Parsee Mizuhashi'''|水橋 パルスィ|Mizuhashi Parusi}} is a [[hashihime]], or bridge princess, who guards the "bridge" between the surface world and the [[Underworld]]. She is able to control the jealousy in others.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Parsee first appeared as the [[stage]] 2 [[boss]] of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Parsee harbors intense feelings of jealousy due to being despised. No matter what situation the other person may be in, she'll always be jealous of it. Even if the other person is actually less fortunate, she will be jealous of the fact that they're not jealous. In this way, her jealousy is quite irrational. This isn't to say Parsee is actually unfortunate. If you were to talk to her directly, she would come off as completely normal – even a bit cheerful – but this masks the jealousy that she's actually feeling, and afterwards she will end up despising you and talking behind your back.<br />

It is an ability from the legend of Hashihime. As a [[youkai]] who can be called the very embodiment of jealousy, she is able to manipulate those feelings in others. In relation to [[human]]s, it is a dreadful ability that can easily destroy them. She lives off of seeing the lives of those she introduces jealousy into being destroyed by it. This may be the reason she was sealed underground. She herself is deep in her own jealousy.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Parsee used to be a guardian, someone who would watch over those crossing her bridge to make sure they passed between the underground and the surface world safely. However, her own jealousy at those travelers eventually caused her to be able to control feelings of jealousy in others.<br />
<br />
===Species===<br />
The {{nihongo|Hashihime|橋姫}} is a mythical [[youkai]] that appears in various Japanese texts (Most notably the [[Wikipedia:The Tale of the Heike|The Tale of Heike]]). After her husband left her and married another woman, the jealous and enraged Hashihime prays to the gods for revenge. A priest tells her a way: She has to dress herself in red and paint her face with the same color, her hair arranged with seven loops and crowned with a burning brazier, then spend 21 days under the Uji bridge while holding a metal rod. So deep was her rage and jealousy, that she actually did the entire process, becoming a vengeful youkai driven by jealousy that only appears in the vicinity of bridges that cross over water. She appears to loving couples, threatening to kill them both unless they break up right there and then. There is also a famous Noh Play about this mythological creature. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-noh.com/en/plays/data/program_026.html|title=Kanawa (Iron Trivet)|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glopad.org/jparc/?q=en/node/21896|title=Hashihime {{lang|ja|橋姫}} [literally "bridge princess"<nowiki>]</nowiki>|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://nippon-kichi.jp/article_list.do;jsessionid=98EBB0CA3885C46AAA6513154C141D81?p=2486&ml_lang=en|title={{lang|ja|能面 橋姫}} Noumen Hashi-hime Noh Mask Hashihime|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://totaljapandemonium.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/the-yokai-files-hashi-hime/|title=The Yokai Files – Hashi Hime|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
According to [[ZUN]] in an interview in [[Chara☆Mel]] released with ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'' Chapter 7, the term {{nihongo||波斯人|hashihito}} refers to Persians, and he thought it would be interesting to try to make a more foreign-looking character, a Persian hashihime in old-style clothes, even if she doesn't really look like a hashihime.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5903008|title={{lang|ja|キャラ☆メル}} vol.7 {{lang|ja|東方地霊殿神主インタビュー(前編)}}|publisher=Chara☆Mel}}</ref><br />

==Background Information==<br />
[[File:ThGKParsee.png|thumb|150px|Illustration of Parsee in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
The name of Parsee's boss theme "Green-eyed Jealousy", as well as her midboss [[spell card]] and ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' title "The Green-Eyed Monster", are both terms used in Shakespeare's works to poetically describe jealousy.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
{{nihongo|''Parsee Mizuhashi''|水橋 パルスィ}} is her full name. Her family name {{nihongo||水橋|Mizuhashi}} means {{nihongo|"Water"|水}}) and {{nihongo|"Bridge"|橋}}. ''Parsee'' is an alternative spelling of "[[Wikipedia:Parsi|Parsi]]", who are the members of the Indian Zoroastrian community. They descend from Persian Zoroastrians who emigrated to South Asia in the 8th century AD. There's another possible connexion with "Parsee" and jealousy, although this could be a coincidence; "jealousy" in Italian is "gelosia", which can also relate to "[[Wikipedia:Window blind|Venetian blinds]]". These blinds can also be called "persiana" in Italian, where that word can also mean "Persian" if in its feminine form (NB: "persiano" is the masculine form).<br />
<br />
Some Japanese people tend to pronounce her personal name "Parsee" [paɽɯ̥si] as if it were "Parseeh" [paɽɯ̥siː] or "Parshee" [paɽɯ̥ɕiː], maybe because there's a customary rule of Japanese engineer's terms that they ought to omit [[Wikipedia:Chōonpu|the long vowel mark]] at the end of a word, unless it isn't a short word; for example, "{{lang|ja|アッセンブラ}}" (assembler) although it's normally spelled as "{{lang|ja|アッセンブラ'''ー'''}}". Therefore, the correct spelling for "{{lang|ja|パルスィ}}" is "{{lang|ja|パールスィー}}".<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Parsee has wavy blond hair and green eyes, and her skin appears to have pale chartreuse tint to it. She wears a dress which resembles the traditional dresses of Iran's nomadic people, as well as Tocharians depicted in a [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/QizilDonors.jpg 6th-century AD fresco from the Kizil Caves]; the top is brown with purple borders, with a white criss-cross pattern and a pink sash. The bottom is blue and purple with again the white criss-cross pattern and black with criss-crossed red strings hanging on the bottom edge. She has a pink scarf tied around her neck and pink puffy arm socks. Her SA appearance and other official artworks depict her with pointed ears.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;Subterranean Animism<br />
[[File:Th11ParseeSprite.png|frame|Parsee's sprite in ''SA'']]<br />
In each scenario, Parsee wonders why a [[human]] has come to the [[Underworld]]. She is also unaware of the [[youkai]] that communicates with the heroine, which leads to various complications.<br />
<br />
In [[Reimu Hakurei]]'s story arcs, Parsee wonders if Reimu is there for the "cursed powers" or, alternately, if she is there because of the earthquakes. With [[Marisa Kirisame]], Parsee warns the heroine against proceeding farther underground. In all cases, whether due to jealousy/anger with Reimu or Marisa's refusal to turn back, Parsee attacks and is defeated by the heroine.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean_Animism/Story/Reimu and Yukari's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu & Yukari Arc}}<br />
As Reimu descends underground, wondering how deep she has to go, Parsee shows up and asks why a human would need to get to the Former Capital, and asks if she's looking for their "cursed power". While [[Yukari Yakumo]] explains to Reimu that the youkai underground are strong, Parsee begins to get jealous of Reimu (without even knowing who she is) and attacks. Upon defeat, Yukari explains to Reimu how Parsee is a youkai driven by jealousy.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Reimu and Suika's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu & Suika Arc}}<br />
As Reimu descends underground, wondering how deep she has to go, Parsee shows up and asks why a human would need to get to the Former Capital, and asks if she's looking for their "cursed power". [[Suika Ibuki]] pipes up and says they don't need the cursed power, then immediately asks if she's the "Bridge Princess". Parsee, surprised that they know who she is, starts asking Reimu questions that she has no idea how to answer. Suika explains that she's a youkai driven by jealousy, and Parsee starts to grow tense at thinking that they're looking down on her, and attacks a confused Reimu. Upon defeat, Reimu scolds Suika for holding her own conversation. <br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Reimu and Aya's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu & Aya Arc}}<br />
As Reimu descends underground, wondering how deep she has to go, Parsee shows up and asks if they are worried about the earthquakes above ground. [[Aya Shameimaru]] asks if she will do something interesting, to which Parsee throws the same question at them, asking if they'll do anything interesting. Reimu says no, explaining that they can always go see something interesting. Parsee becomes jealous, and attacks Reimu to relieve her boredom. Upon defeat, Reimu confronts Aya and thinks Aya just sent her to get material for her newspaper.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Marisa and Alice's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa & Alice Arc}}<br />
As Marisa descends underground, she wonders how many "floors are left in the dungeon". [[Alice Margatroid]] tries to explain that caves don't have "floors", as Parsee enters and replies that they're on "floor B666", calling the cave an underground skyscraper. Marisa gloats to Alice that she was right about the "floors", while Parsee asks if she's crazy because she's "talking to herself". Marisa asks if she's the "[[boss]] of the dungeon", and Parsee replies that she's just wasting time if she thinks going underground is a game, and attacks. Upon defeat, Marisa admits that she's just wasting time and moves on.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Marisa and Patchouli's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa & Patchouli Arc}}<br />
As Marisa descends underground, [[Patchouli Knowledge]] explains that [[Yamame_Kurodani|Yamame Kurodani]] was an earth spider that inflicts disease, a little late for their previous battle with her. Parsee enters and ask if she's exploring the underground, and Marisa says yes. Parsee replies that she's better off going back, when Marisa realizes she has to get past her and quickly tells Patchouli to look up her weak points. Parsee says that she tried to warn them, and Patchouli tells Marisa to deal with her by herself because she obviously can't look up weaknesses that quickly. Marisa tells Patchouli to look how to beat her while she's beating her, then Parsee attacks. Upon defeat, Patchouli was able to find the information (yet again, too late) that she's a Persian person driven by jealousy. Marisa wonders if Patchouli sent her just to conduct research.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Marisa and Nitori's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa & Nitori Arc}}<br />
As Marisa descends underground, she wonders how deep the cave goes. [[Nitori Kawashiro]] says that it's only a matter of time until they reach the "Ancient City". Parsee shows up an asks why they need to go to the underground city, where Marisa replies that she doesn't think she needs anything. Parsee then asks if they're lost, and says that they should return to where "the light is so dazzling". Nitori explains that Parsee controls jealousy, and that Marisa should just "beat her up" quickly. Marisa asks why she even went to the cave in the first place, and Nitori says it's because of the hot springs. While the two are talking, Parsee wonders why Marisa is talking to herself (because Parsee doesn't understand they're communicating) and wonders if anyone will mind if she just "beats up one person", then she attacks Marisa. Upon defeat, Marisa states that she still doesn't understand why they're underground, but "if hot springs are involved, it doesn't matter" then moves on.<br />

Ability: Manipulating jealousy<br />
<br />
Once, she was the protector, or guardian spirit, of the pit linking the [[underworld]] with the overworld. She watched over people to make sure that they could get to the underworld and back to the overworld safely.<br />
<br />
However, as she is extremely jealous, she couldn't stand the people who looked like they were having fun going to and fro.<br />
Whenever she saw someone like that, she would hinder their travel somehow.<br />
<br />
Jealousy only begets further jealousy, so as she went mad from her own jealousy, she became able to fan the flames of jealousy in the hearts of others.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rin Kaenbyou'''|火焔猫 燐|Kaenbyou Rin}} is one of [[Satori Komeiji]]'s pets. Her job is to carry corpses to the former [[Hell of Blazing Fires]] to regulate its heat.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
===Personality===<br />
Rin has an energetic, positive personality; she prefers to be called Orin, since she doesn't like long names. She claims that while it is more fun to take on a pure [[cat]] form, she can't talk to [[human]]s that way - nor does it seem she can do her job, carting corpses away, which she seems to take great pleasure in. She appears to have challenged the main character in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' partly because she wanted their corpse, but also partly to test their strength to see if they would be able to stop [[Utsuho Reiuji]] for her, and appears to bear no ill will towards them for her defeat. ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' states that she has no interest in killing humans herself to gain their corpses; she prefers to hunt for those on the verge of death, supposedly because it makes for more interesting conversation. If a corpse is properly buried, she'll lose interest.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Carrying away corpses<br />
Rin's official profile lists her ability as "carrying away corpses". As an ability that comes from her species, it is as it sounds like. The carried-away corpses burn as fuel for the [[Hell of Blazing Fires]], although it is a mystery why the abandoned Hell of Blazing Fires needs to be fuelled in the first place. Incidentally, the spirits of the corpses carried away by [[kasha]] become [[onryou]] and become unable to achieve nirvana. She can also shift between cat form and human form at will. [[Hieda no Akyu]] states in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' that her corpse-carrying ability is not really a [[youkai]]-like one, but she is very good at it, using various tricks.<br />
<br />
;Controlling and communicating with spirits<br />
She is able to communicate with corpses and control all kinds of [[spirit]]s; she appears to enjoy the conversations of the freshly dead, because they may not realize they're dead. In combat, she can briefly reanimate corpses so that they "act" like zombies.<br />
<br />
However, prior to the events of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', she displays the ability to drive [[vengeful spirit]]s above-ground, which is what causes the heroines to dive underground in the first place. ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' does not mention this.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Rin is a [[kasha]] living in the [[Palace of the Earth Spirits]]; her master is [[Satori Komeiji]]. Essentially, she lives day-to-day by stealing corpses from funerals to cart them to the former [[Hell of Blazing Fires]]. She will not kill humans herself, though she (quite efficiently) pursues humans that are close to death, hiding stolen corpses in her wheelbarrow using a straw mat, or just generally collecting corpses she happens to run across. Humans do not usually think that she would be carting corpses out in the open like she does, so she has a degree of freedom even in places with lots of people. In addition to maintaining the energy influx for the power source, she also controls vengeful spirits, at least in the vicinity.<br />
<br />
===Possessions===<br />
Rin's only possession is her wheelbarrow, often referred to as "Orin's Cat Cart". It has no special properties, but ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' describes it as the pushcart that has likely carried the most corpses in all of history.<br />
<br />
==Backstory==<br />
When the [[Underground]] separated from [[Hell]], becoming known as [[Former Hell]], both Rin and [[Utsuho Reiuji]] became pets to [[Satori Komeiji]]. Her job is to cart corpses into the fires generating heat for the Underground. One day, she noticed that the flames were extremely strong - much stronger than usual - and, worried, forced evil spirits above-ground to try and signal [[youkai]] to come help. She did not tell Satori about the possibly gigantic power Utsuho had obtained, however, and decides to figure things out for herself.<br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
[[File:ThGKRin.png|thumb|220px|Rin's illustration in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Origin===<br />
Rin's concept is taken from the [[kasha]], a type of [[youkai]] that appears during stormy weather to bring the bodies of sinners to Hell. They are said to be cats that have turned into youkai through various circumstances such as long life. Sometimes temples near places where kasha are said to live will hold two funerals for the dead: in the first, the coffin is filled with rocks so that the kasha won't disrupt the funeral to carry off the deceased. Rin is said to steal corpses from funerals while no one is looking.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Rin Kaenbyou''|火焔猫 燐|Kaenbyou Rin}}. The characters for {{nihongo||火焔猫|Kaenbyou}} literally mean "blazing cat". The one for {{nihongo||燐|Rin}} means "phosphorus". Rin is shown pushing a wheelbarrow, which is also known in Japanese as a {{nihongo||猫車|Nekoguruma}}, which means "cat cart".<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Rin has black cat ears and dark red eyes, with fiery red hair styled into twin braids and adorned by black ribbons at the top and bottom of the braids. She wears a black decorated dress with green frills. She's pushing a wheelbarrow in one hand and holding a vengeful spirit in the other. Surrounding her are several more of these spirits.<br />
<br />
==Rin's Appearances==<br />
===Games===<br />
;Subterranean Animism<br />
[[File:Th11OrinSprite.png|frame|Rin's sprite in ''SA'']]<br />
[[File:Th11OrinCatSprite.png|frame|Rin's cat form sprite in ''SA'']]<br />
Rin's story in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'' is similar no matter what player character you pick. she appears as the [[stage]] 4, 5 ans 6 midboss, while appearing as the [[boss]] for stage 5. When a human arrives underground instead of a youkai like she was expecting, she challenges the heroine, wanting to take her corpse. However, she is defeated, and upon witnessing the heroine's strength, asks her to go deeper into the Hell of Blazing Fires in order to stop [[Utsuho Reiuji]]. During her boss battle, she is seen summoning [[Zombie Fairy|Zombie Fairies]] and [[Vengeful spirit]]s.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;Double Spoiler<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Rin appeared as a [[stage]] 8 [[boss]] and uses [[spell card]]s that involves [[Zombie Fairy|Zombie Fairies]] when [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] take photos of her and her [[danmaku]]. When taking a picture of Rin in her cat form, the player is awarded the "Cat bonus", which gives a bonus of [[Wikipedia:666 (number)|666]] points, the mark of the beast. This is somewhat fitting considering that Rin is located in [[Hell]].<br />
<br />
;Hopeless Masquerade<br />
[[File:Th135RinDancing.gif|frame|Anigif of Rin dancing in ''HM'']]<br />
Rin appears as a background cameo in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Palace of Earth Spirits]] and [[Youkai Tanuki Forest]] stage. She is seen doing a rally cheer.<br />
[[File:WaHHOrin.png|thumb|220px|Rin appearance in Wild and Horned Hermit]]<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]<br />
In her [[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 2|article]] in the [[Bunbunmaru Newspaper]], Rin was brought in to the [[Myouren Temple]] by [[Byakuren Hijiri]] and the others to talk to the zombie guarding part of the cemetery, [[Yoshika Miyako]]. After explaining to them that the reanimated corpse doesn't want to hurt anyone, she takes a few other corpses as payment and returns to the Underground with them.<br />
<br />
In addition, Byakuren mentions that Rin once came up from the [[Underworld]] because she wanted to join the temple. The monk turned her away as Rin really only wanted access to the vast amount of graves in the graveyard.<br />

Satori is Rin and Utsuho's master. Apparently she keeps them as pets, but they have their own jobs to do, and are not seen together very often in the games or in books.<br />
<br />
;[[Utsuho Reiuji]]<br />
Utsuho is described as Rin's old friend from when the [[yama]] split Hell out of the Underground. She is on good enough terms with her to not tell Satori about the trouble she causes in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''.<br />
<br />
===Minor Relationships===<br />

In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Rin is brought in to communicate with Yoshika, as her ability is being able to talk to corpses.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*Rin may be the most persistent ''[[Touhou Project]]'' [[boss]]es, appearing as a midboss in three [[stage]]s, and as a stage boss all in one game.<br />
*Rin and [[Mayumi]] are the only [[Windows]] Stage 6 midbosses that, when defeated, don't directly lead to the final boss. A few [[stage enemies]] of [[vengeful spirit]]s leads to Utsuho instead, similar to ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'''s Stage 6, except than in ''Mountain of Faith'' there isn't a midboss.<br />
*Some of her attacks resemble attacks used by the second boss of ''[[Samidare]]'' from ''[[Project Blank]]'', [[Anareta]].<br />
*In ancient Aztec culture, each household had a small red dog called the Techihi who was said to guide lost souls to the underworld, and would often be sacrificed along with its master. Strangely, Rin has both red hair and performs a similar duty.<br />
*Rin's dancing pose in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' may be a reference to how she dances in [[Twilight Frontier]]'s ''[[Komeiji Satori no Jousou Kyouiku]]'', where Rin, or [[Koishi Komeiji]], will do a similar dance if she manages to get to a gift-box first.<br />

Kaenbyou Rin<br />
<br />
種族:火車<br/><br />
能力:死体を持ち去る程度の能力<br />
<br />
本当の名前は火焔猫 燐(かえんびょう りん)<br/><br />
本人は長い名前が嫌いで、誰にでもお燐と呼ばせている。<br />
<br />
火の中に棲む猫で、さとりのペットである。口が上手く、死体や霊と自由に会話が出来る為、灼熱地獄跡で怨霊の管理を任されている。<br />
<br />
彼女の古い友人に霊烏路空が居る。彼女とはさとりに飼われ始めた頃、則ち地底が地獄でなくなった頃以来の親友である。<br/><br />
<br/><br />
<br />
ある日、彼女は灼熱地獄跡に異変を感じ取った。<br/><br />
いつもよりも火力が強かったのだ。<br />
<br />
火力の管理は空の管轄である。お燐はすぐに空の元を訪ねて驚いた。<br/><br />
誰から貰ったのか、恐ろしいまでの強力な力を手に入れていたのだ。<br />
<br />
それ以来、空は増長し始め、力を見せつけるようになっていった。<br/><br />
終いには地上を灼熱地獄にして支配するとまで言い始めた。<br />
<br />
そんなこと出来る筈もない。さとり様が許す筈もない。<br/><br />
その企みを地底の誰かに知られてしまえば、空は鬼達に始末されてしまうかも知れないのに。<br/><br />
お燐は友人の変貌に呆れ、彼女は禁断の技を使う。<br/><br />
<br/><br />
<br />
それは怨霊を地上に送り込む事。それにより地上の妖怪達に異変を知らしめる事が出来れば、何かが変わる筈だと。<br/><br />
彼女は地上の妖怪達に助けを求めたのだが、彼女の前の現れたのは地上の人間だった。<br />
<br />
その人間は思いの外強く、妖怪退治の専門家といううってつけの人間だったのである。<br/><br />
その人間の腕が確かなら、増長した空を懲らしめる事が出来るかも知れない、そう考えた。<br/><br />
<br/><br />
<br />
最初からさとり様に相談すれば良かったのだが、お燐は何となく空の異変を隠した方がいいと思っていた。もし空の異変に気付けば、さとり様は容赦なく空を始末するだろう、そう考えていた。<br/><br />
勿論そんな筈も無いのだが、子供が親に秘密がばれるのを恐れる様に、お燐も秘密がばれる事を恐れていた。<br/><br />
お燐は彼女に畏怖の念を抱いていたのである。<br />

Rin Kaenbyou (nickname: Orin)<br />
<br />
Species: kasha<br/><br />
Ability: Carrying away corpses<br />
<br />
Her real name is Rin Kaenbyou.<br/><br />
She doesn't like long names, though, so she has everyone call her Orin.<br />
<br />
A cat that lives among the flames, and Satori's pet. Since she's well-spoken and can converse freely with corpses and spirits, she was left in charge of controlling the spirits in what was once the Hell of Blazing Fires.<br />
<br />
She has an old friend named Reiuji Utsuho. They've been close friends since before the time Satori began taking care of her, that is, the time when the underground separated from Hell.<br />
<br />
<br />
One day, she felt a disturbance in what was left of the Hell of Blazing Fires.<br/><br />
The flames were much stronger than usual.<br />
<br />
Regulating the flames was Utsuho's job. Orin went to visit Utsuho and was surprised by what she found.<br/><br />
She had discovered a frighteningly strong power, or had been given it by someone.<br />
<br />
Since then, Utsuho began to grow stronger, and to seek out power.<br/><br />
Eventually, she started talking about conquering the above ground and turning it into a scorching hell.<br />
<br />
There's no way she should have been able to do that. There's no way Satori would allow it.<br/><br />
If anybody underground found out about this plan, the oni would probably take care of Utsuho.<br/><br />
Amazed by the transformation her friend had undergone, Orin began to delve into a forbidden art.<br />
<br />
<br />
That forbidden art was how to drive the vengeful spirits above ground. If she could force some sort of incident with the youkai above ground, something would surely change.<br/><br />
She was trying to get the youkai above ground to help her, but what finally appeared before her was a human from above ground.<br />
<br />
That human was unexpectedly strong, and what is more, she specialized in youkai extermination.<br/><br />
If she's really that strong, Orin thought, she might be able to deal with Utsuho.<br />
<br />
<br />
Everything would have turned out fine if Orin had just gone to Satori in the first place, but she thought it would be better if she tried to hide what Utsuho was doing. If Satori had found out about Utsuho's plan, she thought, she'd waste no time dealing with Utsuho in a ruthless fashion. Of course, that wasn't true, but just as children are afraid of their parents finding out their secrets, Orin was afraid of Satori finding out about hers. Orin was somewhat in awe of Satori.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Parsee Mizuhashi'''|水橋 パルスィ|Mizuhashi Parusi}} is a [[hashihime]], or bridge princess, who guards the "bridge" between the surface world and the [[Underworld]]. She is able to control the jealousy in others.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Parsee first appeared as the [[stage]] 2 [[boss]] of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]''.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Parsee harbors intense feelings of jealousy due to being despised. No matter what situation the other person may be in, she'll always be jealous of it. Even if the other person is actually less fortunate, she will be jealous of the fact that they're not jealous. In this way, her jealousy is quite irrational. This isn't to say Parsee is actually unfortunate. If you were to talk to her directly, she would come off as completely normal – even a bit cheerful – but this masks the jealousy that she's actually feeling, and afterwards she will end up despising you and talking behind your back.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Manipulation of Jealousy<br />
It is an ability from the legend of Hashihime. As a [[youkai]] who can be called the very embodiment of jealousy, she is able to manipulate those feelings in others. In relation to [[human]]s, it is a dreadful ability that can easily destroy them. She lives off of seeing the lives of those she introduces jealousy into being destroyed by it. This may be the reason she was sealed underground. She herself is deep in her own jealousy.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Parsee used to be a guardian, someone who would watch over those crossing her bridge to make sure they passed between the underground and the surface world safely. However, her own jealousy at those travelers eventually caused her to be able to control feelings of jealousy in others.<br />
<br />
===Species===<br />
The {{nihongo|Hashihime|橋姫}} is a mythical [[youkai]] that appears in various Japanese texts (Most notably the [[Wikipedia:The Tale of the Heike|The Tale of Heike]]). After her husband left her and married another woman, the jealous and enraged Hashihime prays to the gods for revenge. A priest tells her a way: She has to dress herself in red and paint her face with the same color, her hair arranged with seven loops and crowned with a burning brazier, then spend 21 days under the Uji bridge while holding a metal rod. So deep was her rage and jealousy, that she actually did the entire process, becoming a vengeful youkai driven by jealousy that only appears in the vicinity of bridges that cross over water. She appears to loving couples, threatening to kill them both unless they break up right there and then. There is also a famous Noh Play about this mythological creature. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.the-noh.com/en/plays/data/program_026.html|title=Kanawa (Iron Trivet)|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.glopad.org/jparc/?q=en/node/21896|title=Hashihime {{lang|ja|橋姫}} [literally "bridge princess"<nowiki>]</nowiki>|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://nippon-kichi.jp/article_list.do;jsessionid=98EBB0CA3885C46AAA6513154C141D81?p=2486&ml_lang=en|title={{lang|ja|能面 橋姫}} Noumen Hashi-hime Noh Mask Hashihime|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://totaljapandemonium.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/the-yokai-files-hashi-hime/|title=The Yokai Files – Hashi Hime|accessdate=18 February 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
According to [[ZUN]] in an interview in [[Chara☆Mel]] released with ''[[Cage in Lunatic Runagate]]'' Chapter 7, the term {{nihongo||波斯人|hashihito}} refers to Persians, and he thought it would be interesting to try to make a more foreign-looking character, a Persian hashihime in old-style clothes, even if she doesn't really look like a hashihime.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5903008|title={{lang|ja|キャラ☆メル}} vol.7 {{lang|ja|東方地霊殿神主インタビュー(前編)}}|publisher=Chara☆Mel}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Background Information==<br />
[[File:ThGKParsee.png|thumb|150px|Illustration of Parsee in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
The name of Parsee's boss theme "Green-eyed Jealousy", as well as her midboss [[spell card]] and ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' title "The Green-Eyed Monster", are both terms used in Shakespeare's works to poetically describe jealousy.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
{{nihongo|''Parsee Mizuhashi''|水橋 パルスィ}} is her full name. Her family name {{nihongo||水橋|Mizuhashi}} means {{nihongo|"Water"|水}}) and {{nihongo|"Bridge"|橋}}. ''Parsee'' is an alternative spelling of "[[Wikipedia:Parsi|Parsi]]", who are the members of the Indian Zoroastrian community. They descend from Persian Zoroastrians who emigrated to South Asia in the 8th century AD. There's another possible connexion with "Parsee" and jealousy, although this could be a coincidence; "jealousy" in Italian is "gelosia", which can also relate to "[[Wikipedia:Window blind|Venetian blinds]]". These blinds can also be called "persiana" in Italian, where that word can also mean "Persian" if in its feminine form (NB: "persiano" is the masculine form).<br />
<br />
Some Japanese people tend to pronounce her personal name "Parsee" [paɽɯ̥si] as if it were "Parseeh" [paɽɯ̥siː] or "Parshee" [paɽɯ̥ɕiː], maybe because there's a customary rule of Japanese engineer's terms that they ought to omit [[Wikipedia:Chōonpu|the long vowel mark]] at the end of a word, unless it isn't a short word; for example, "{{lang|ja|アッセンブラ}}" (assembler) although it's normally spelled as "{{lang|ja|アッセンブラ'''ー'''}}". Therefore, the correct spelling for "{{lang|ja|パルスィ}}" is "{{lang|ja|パールスィー}}".<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Parsee has wavy blond hair and green eyes, and her skin appears to have pale chartreuse tint to it. She wears a dress which resembles the traditional dresses of Iran's nomadic people, as well as Tocharians depicted in a [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/QizilDonors.jpg 6th-century AD fresco from the Kizil Caves]; the top is brown with purple borders, with a white criss-cross pattern and a pink sash. The bottom is blue and purple with again the white criss-cross pattern and black with criss-crossed red strings hanging on the bottom edge. She has a pink scarf tied around her neck and pink puffy arm socks. Her SA appearance and other official artworks depict her with pointed ears.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;Subterranean Animism<br />
[[File:Th11ParseeSprite.png|frame|Parsee's sprite in ''SA'']]<br />
In each scenario, Parsee wonders why a [[human]] has come to the [[Underworld]]. She is also unaware of the [[youkai]] that communicates with the heroine, which leads to various complications.<br />
<br />
In [[Reimu Hakurei]]'s story arcs, Parsee wonders if Reimu is there for the "cursed powers" or, alternately, if she is there because of the earthquakes. With [[Marisa Kirisame]], Parsee warns the heroine against proceeding farther underground. In all cases, whether due to jealousy/anger with Reimu or Marisa's refusal to turn back, Parsee attacks and is defeated by the heroine.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean_Animism/Story/Reimu and Yukari's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu & Yukari Arc}}<br />
As Reimu descends underground, wondering how deep she has to go, Parsee shows up and asks why a human would need to get to the Former Capital, and asks if she's looking for their "cursed power". While [[Yukari Yakumo]] explains to Reimu that the youkai underground are strong, Parsee begins to get jealous of Reimu (without even knowing who she is) and attacks. Upon defeat, Yukari explains to Reimu how Parsee is a youkai driven by jealousy.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Reimu and Suika's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu & Suika Arc}}<br />
As Reimu descends underground, wondering how deep she has to go, Parsee shows up and asks why a human would need to get to the Former Capital, and asks if she's looking for their "cursed power". [[Suika Ibuki]] pipes up and says they don't need the cursed power, then immediately asks if she's the "Bridge Princess". Parsee, surprised that they know who she is, starts asking Reimu questions that she has no idea how to answer. Suika explains that she's a youkai driven by jealousy, and Parsee starts to grow tense at thinking that they're looking down on her, and attacks a confused Reimu. Upon defeat, Reimu scolds Suika for holding her own conversation. <br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Reimu and Aya's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu & Aya Arc}}<br />
As Reimu descends underground, wondering how deep she has to go, Parsee shows up and asks if they are worried about the earthquakes above ground. [[Aya Shameimaru]] asks if she will do something interesting, to which Parsee throws the same question at them, asking if they'll do anything interesting. Reimu says no, explaining that they can always go see something interesting. Parsee becomes jealous, and attacks Reimu to relieve her boredom. Upon defeat, Reimu confronts Aya and thinks Aya just sent her to get material for her newspaper.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Marisa and Alice's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa & Alice Arc}}<br />
As Marisa descends underground, she wonders how many "floors are left in the dungeon". [[Alice Margatroid]] tries to explain that caves don't have "floors", as Parsee enters and replies that they're on "floor B666", calling the cave an underground skyscraper. Marisa gloats to Alice that she was right about the "floors", while Parsee asks if she's crazy because she's "talking to herself". Marisa asks if she's the "[[boss]] of the dungeon", and Parsee replies that she's just wasting time if she thinks going underground is a game, and attacks. Upon defeat, Marisa admits that she's just wasting time and moves on.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Marisa and Patchouli's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa & Patchouli Arc}}<br />
As Marisa descends underground, [[Patchouli Knowledge]] explains that [[Yamame_Kurodani|Yamame Kurodani]] was an earth spider that inflicts disease, a little late for their previous battle with her. Parsee enters and ask if she's exploring the underground, and Marisa says yes. Parsee replies that she's better off going back, when Marisa realizes she has to get past her and quickly tells Patchouli to look up her weak points. Parsee says that she tried to warn them, and Patchouli tells Marisa to deal with her by herself because she obviously can't look up weaknesses that quickly. Marisa tells Patchouli to look how to beat her while she's beating her, then Parsee attacks. Upon defeat, Patchouli was able to find the information (yet again, too late) that she's a Persian person driven by jealousy. Marisa wonders if Patchouli sent her just to conduct research.<br />
<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Story/Marisa and Nitori's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa & Nitori Arc}}<br />
As Marisa descends underground, she wonders how deep the cave goes. [[Nitori Kawashiro]] says that it's only a matter of time until they reach the "Ancient City". Parsee shows up an asks why they need to go to the underground city, where Marisa replies that she doesn't think she needs anything. Parsee then asks if they're lost, and says that they should return to where "the light is so dazzling". Nitori explains that Parsee controls jealousy, and that Marisa should just "beat her up" quickly. Marisa asks why she even went to the cave in the first place, and Nitori says it's because of the hot springs. While the two are talking, Parsee wonders why Marisa is talking to herself (because Parsee doesn't understand they're communicating) and wonders if anyone will mind if she just "beats up one person", then she attacks Marisa. Upon defeat, Marisa states that she still doesn't understand why they're underground, but "if hot springs are involved, it doesn't matter" then moves on.<br />
<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
[[File:Th135Parsee.png|frame|Parsee in ''HM'']]<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Parsee used a few [[spell card]]s and had [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] taking photos of her and her [[danmaku]].<br />
<br />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Parsee made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Palace of Earth Spirits]] and the [[Youkai Tanuki Forest]] stage. She is seen behind all other characters with a glare.<br />

<br />
Species: Bridge Princess<br/><br />
Ability: Manipulating jealousy<br />
<br />
Once, she was the protector, or guardian spirit, of the pit linking the [[underworld]] with the overworld. She watched over people to make sure that they could get to the underworld and back to the overworld safely.<br />
<br />
However, as she is extremely jealous, she couldn't stand the people who looked like they were having fun going to and fro.<br />
Whenever she saw someone like that, she would hinder their travel somehow.<br />
<br />
Jealousy only begets further jealousy, so as she went mad from her own jealousy, she became able to fan the flames of jealousy in the hearts of others.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yamame Kurodani'''|黒谷 ヤマメ|Kurodani Yamame}} is the Stage 1 boss in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', inhabiting the entrance to the [[Underworld]].<br />

==General Information==<br />
Yamame is a [[tsuchigumo]] – an earth spider – with the ability to manipulate diseases. She first appeared as the Stage 1 boss in ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', then as a stage 3 target in ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and as a background character in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''. She generally prefers not to use said ability, though, and she has an outgoing nature and a love of fighting. Other [[youkai]] like her for her bright personality, but humans stay away because of her ability. In addition, as a tsuchigumo, she is well-suited for building construction due to her physical strength and that of her string. However, she can apparently be reasoned with.<br />
<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
Yamame can fire out spider-like webs, where in ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', [[Aya Shameimaru]] commented that "[[tsuchigumo]] are quite skilled and strong, and particularly good with architecture".<br />
<br />
;Manipulating illness (mainly infectious disease)<br />
Yamame's ability is manipulation of illness and diseases, with a specialization in infectious ones. The amount of viruses and germs being quite strong, that they infect the atmosphere, and are highly lethal. It can be said to be a natural enemy to [[human]]s, who are based upon living in groups. However, with the sensibility of not unreasonably inflicting illness, she herself doesn't have that sort of intention of using it often at all; this is probably due to being tormented with the experience of having inflicted disease on attacking humans in the far past.<br />
<br />
It is partially implied in ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' that the main disease she manipulates is influenza, as the only identifiable common symptom is a high fever, and the symptoms themselves change from year to year. It is further implied by the footnote which says that the sickness is called different things each year and even given "types", such as Type A or Type B. As a side note, [[Eirin Yagokoro]] is apparently attempting to create a "miracle drug" to cure this specific disease.<br />
<br />
==Personality== <br />
<br />
Yamame has a bright personality and wouldn't want to attack humans if she could avoid it.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
[[Image:ThGKYamame.png|left|200px]]<br />
===Name===<br />
In an interview released in [[Cara☆Mel]], ZUN mentioned that he figured her name was particularly "spiderish", maybe because spiders are all about their eyes (''me'', in Japanese). This means that another possible interpretation for her name would be "Yamame" or "{{lang|ja|八ま目}}", which roughly translates as "Eight Eyes". Also see [[Tsuchigumo]].<br />
<br />
The name "Kurodani" is written with characters that mean "black valley". Yamame may be written as "[[Wikipedia:ja:山女|山女]]" (lit. mountain girl), which refers to a mythical demon in Japanese folklore.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'''s official art, Yamame has brown eyes and blonde hair tied up in a bun with a ribbon. She wears a black and brown dress that's poofy under the waist, some black shoes with white socks, and a yellow ribbon tied around her lower body. The number of buttons on her outfit adds up to the total amouth of eight eyes a spider has.<br />

During the events of ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', she mistook the heroine as a youkai from the surface and attacked; she was defeated quickly.<br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Translation/Reimu and Yukari's Scenario#Stage 1|l1=Reimu & Yukari Arc}}<br />
Reimu complains about the conditions of the cave, where suddenly she hears Yukari's voice. Noticing Reimu's confusion, Yukari explains that she's talking through the yin-yang orbs. Yamame enters, and seems interested that a human has entered the cave. Yukari immediately tells Reimu to defeat Yamame. Yamame, confused by Reimu "talking to herself", attacks. After Yamame is defeated, Reimu wonders if she talks to herself too much. <br />

Reimu complains about the conditions of the cave, and thinks she's hearing things when she hears Suika's voice. Suika explains that Yukari set up the yin-yang orbs for them to talk through. Yamame enters, and seems interested that a human entered the cave. While Suika rambles on about the orbs, Reimu tells her about Yamame's appearance, where Suika replies how it's "nostalgic". Yamame sees Reimu as suspicious, so she attacks. After she is defeated, Reimu figures out that Suika has fallen asleep.<br />

Reimu complains about the conditions of the cave, and wonders if she's hearing things when she hears Aya's voice. Aya explains the yin-yang orbs allow them to communicate. Reimu figures that it's Yukari's doing. Yamame shows up, wondering where Aya's voice is coming from. Aya becomes excited, seeing that someone showed up. Yamame thinks Reimu is talking to herself. Reimu explains she's not ignoring her, and that she'll take out her anger against boredom on her. Yamame attacks. Upon defeat, Aya explains that Yamame was an earth spider. <br />
:{{Main|Subterranean Animism/Translation/Marisa and Alice's Scenario#Stage 1|l1=Marisa & Alice Arc}}<br />
Marisa wonders about the strange conditions of the cave, and upon hearing Alice's voice, denies that she hears it altogether. Marisa then realizes that she can use the dolls for communicating as well as attacking. Alice explains that Yukari made them. Yamame enters, curious about why Marisa came underground. Marisa explains that she never wanted to come underground because there were hot springs above ground. When Alice and Marisa begin to talk to each other again, Yamame thinks Marisa is talking to herself. Marisa says she mumbling about how to beat her. Yamame sees her as a threat, and attacks. After she is defeated, Marisa complains about defeating someone unrelated. <br />

{{nihongo|'''Momiji Inubashiri'''|犬走 椛|Inubashiri Momiji}} is a [[Hakurou Tengu|white wolf tengu]] whose duty is to patrol the [[Youkai Mountain]]. Her good sense of smell and sight are helpful for this duty. Momiji does not have an official game portrait, only a sprite from ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''. However, she does have some appearances in print works.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Momiji has got a very co-operative personality who executes her duties faithfully. In her free time, she plays [[wikipedia:Dai shogi|dai shōgi]] with the [[kappa]].<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Seeing a thousand ri ahead<br />
Momiji has a telegnosis ability that allows her to see a thousand [[Wikipedia:Li (unit)|ri]] ahead (approximately 3,927 kilometres, or 2,440 miles). She also has a superior sense of smell, that combined with her ability makes her able to detect any intruder in an instant.<br />
<br />
;Abilities as tengu<br />
Akyuu describes tengu as one of the strongest species, both in physical and sorcerous abilities. While nothing about Momiji herself has especially come to light, she is likely to possess some of those traits, such as their (almost) unmatched speed.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
One of the [[Youkai Mountain]] tengu's patrols. Her job is to attempt to stop intruders on the mountain with simple attacks and report any that were undeterred to [[Tenma]].<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
Momiji's wolf-like appearance may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Tiangou|Tiangou]], a Chinese version of a tengu that is described to be more dog-like.<br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
[[File:MomijiOSP.jpg|thumb|right|140px|Momiji as she appears in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]''.]]<br />
Her full name is {{nihongo|''Momiji Inubashiri''|犬走 椛}}. {{nihongo||犬走|Inubashiri|lit. "dog run"}} is an actual used (but very rare) surname in Japan. It refers to the dirt path outside of building or residence used for patrols ("[[wikipedia:Berm|berm]]" is corresponded to the term in this usage on the English Wikipedia) — the etymology of this word comes from the fact that the path is so narrow that only a dog can rush through it in a very short time, which has effect to give Momiji's image her speedy might. But the word also indicates her simple-but-fundamental social class; she protects the basement of architecture from erosion, like the occupation of white wolf tengu. ''Momiji'' is one of several Japanese names for maple trees (read same, but written as {{lang|ja|紅葉}} in this usage). The kanji used in her name {{lang|ja|椛}} refers to "birch". Maple, however makes more sense as she has a maple leaf depicted on her shield.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Momiji only has a small sprite used in ''Mountain of Faith'', ''Double Spoiler'' and ''Impossible Spell Card'', so an accurate description is not possible, but from the sprite, we see that she wears a white, long-sleeved shirt, and a large black skirt with red flame-like designs reaching up from the bottom of the skirt, and that it has a white layer below her skirt. She has short light silver hair and wears a red [[Wikipedia:Tokin (headwear)|tokin]]. She holds a large scimitar-like sword and a white, round shield with a red maple leaf print on it.<br />
<br />
In a later appearance in ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]'', it is seen she has detached sleeves and wolf ears. However, in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', she is seen without wolf ears.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Windows Games===<br />
;Mountain of Faith<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story|l1=Mountain of Faith Story}}<br />
Momiji is the [[stage]] 4 [[midboss]] of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]''. When the heroine finally reached [[Youkai Mountain]] during ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', Momiji attempted to stop her at the waterfall. Although Momiji was unsuccessful, it seems she did fulfill her duty of reporting the intruder's presence back to the other [[tengu]] with record speed, as a reinforcement tengu named [[Aya Shameimaru]] had arrived by the end of the same stage to investigate what was going on.<br />
<br />
Later, Momiji observed the final battles between the heroine and the newly appeared shrine and its god, apparently without being noticed by either of them.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;Double Spoiler<br />
Momiji is one of the many who has her [[danmaku]] photographed by [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]], which appears on stage 4.<br />
[[File:ThGK Bunbunmaru11.jpg|thumb||Momiji as she appears in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]].'']]<br />
;Impossible Spell Card<br />
Momiji attacks [[Seija Kijin]] on the [[Youkai Mountain]] on day 6, using a [[spell card]] that is considered impossible to dodge. It's unknown if Momiji actually went out searching for Seija like many others, or if she was just doing her job of keeping Seija away from the Youkai Mountain.<br />
<br />
===Literature===<br />
;Symposium of Post-mysticism<br />
:{{Main|Symposium of Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru Newspaper 11|l1=Symposium of Post-mysticism: Momiji's Bunbunmaru Article}}<br />
Back in 1963, Momiji had discovered new Shogi pieces from the [[outside world]] in [[Muenzuka]]. Having believed that the tengu were the only ones creating unique rules for the game, she became a bit frustrated that the same thing was happening in the outside world. She wanted to see how Shogi had developed in the outside world, then speculated that the game had become simplified, because the pieces she found couldn't be promoted.<br />
;Oriental Sacred Place <br />
<br />
;Wild and Horned Hermit <br />
<br />
;Forbidden Scrollery <br />
In chapter 33, she makes a appearence with Aya and Hatate. In chapter 45, she's seen with Hatate in a storm trying to escape it. <br />
<br />
;Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia <br />
<br />
She had her own article in Alternatve Facts in Eastern Utopia about the new ropeway at Youkai Mountain. <br />
<br />
;The Grimoire of Usami<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
;[[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]]<br />
When she meets Aya they often get into fights with each other. [[Double Spoiler/Spell Cards/Stage 4|According to Aya]], Momiji looks down on her and the other crow tengu. Hatate, however, implies that this is only a personal feud between Momiji and Aya.<br />
<br />
;[[Tenma]]<br />
She is very loyal to the chief of the tengu, Lord Tenma.<br />
<br />
;[[Kappa]]<br />
As said in her profile, she's an avid player of [[wikipedia:Dai shogi|Dai Shōgi]], which she plays with the [[kappa]] when she is bored.<br />

Momiji Inubashiri<br />
<br />
Species: White Wolf Tengu<br/><br />
Ability: Seeing a thousand ri ahead<br/><br />
<br />
A tengu that patrols the Youkai Mountain. Thanks to her superior senses of sight and smell, she can detect any intruder in an instant. When she discovers intruders she attempts to intimidate them with simple attacks, and once they cannot handle the intruders, they reports to the [[Tengu#Great Tengu|Great Tengu]].<br />
<br />
Her forces are usually lying in wait behind the waterfall. She has a very cooperative personality and executes her duties faithfully. This is unusual for youkai, but not uncommon in tengu society.<br />
<br />
However, she usually has a lot of free time, as the Youkai Mountain doesn't receive many intruders. While awaiting orders, she enjoys playing a rather time-consuming game called Dai shogi with the nearby [[kappa]].<br />
<br />
It's hard for the especially long-lived youkai to find good ways to pass the time.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hina Kagiyama'''|鍵山 雛|Kagiyama Hina}} is a pestilence [[god]] and the leader of the Nagashi-bina doll army. Her job is to gather the misfortune of [[human]]s, as well as scare off lost [[human]]s who get too near to the [[Youkai Mountain]] at [[the Great Youkai Forest]].<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Hina first appeared as the Stage 2 boss in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', but had no relation to the story of the game. She was later a target on stage 2 of ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and was in the background of ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]''.<br />
<br />
Hina is a pestilence god, but as they don't collect faith or have any shrines dedicated to them, they are more gods in name rather than nature.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Hina's personality is unclear, but according to those who have come in contact with her, she appears to be friendly and sociable.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Stockpiling misfortune<br />
Hina possesses the ability to store and manage misfortune inside herself. By people's exorcism, she collects misfortune, and is able to stockpile it in her surroundings. Misfortune in her surroundings possesses power to make any kind of human or [[youkai]] misfortune, in which causes misfortune to [[human]]s and [[youkai]] that come near her. However, this does not mean she stockpiles the misfortune in herself, and since it is always in the "surroundings" that she stockpiles the misfortune, she definitely does not become misfortune herself.<br />
<br />
The misfortune that she takes up from [[human]]s is given over to other [[god]]s. She holds no ill will towards humans, however, and amasses misfortune merely as a way of preventing it from befalling others. The negative energy of misfortune is what gives Hina her power. As one that stores the misfortune, it can be said that from a certain point of view, she also possesses good fortune.<br />
<br />
In order to amass this misfortune, she collects the Nagashi-bina dolls that human use to put their own misfortune in and float downstream. Perhaps as a performance of her stockpiling of misfortune in [[danmaku]], her spinning may be a reference to her ability to store up curses. This is because the kanji for {{nihongo|"curse"|厄|yaku}} looks somewhat like a swirl, just like the one on her dress. It can be seen that something like misfortune flies in Hina's surroundings, developing into danmaku as a spiral. It seems like she throws them as bullets in the form of amulets. Additionally, a purple-blue-ish fog can be seen swarming around her when she casts a [[spell card]].<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
In addition to scaring off humans from the [[Youkai Mountain]] and amassing fortune, she has apparently begun selling the Nagashi-bina dolls that she collects as a form of recycling. However, as it is generally a taboo to pay any attention to a misfortune god, her stand is probably ignored.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
[[File:ThGKHina.png|thumb|right|200px|Hina, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]''.]]<br />
Hina is a {{nihongo|misfortune goddess|厄神|yakujin}}. By utilizing the Japanese ritual {{nihongo||流し雛|[[Wikipedia:ja:流し雛|nagashi-bina]]}} – a custom which people transfer their {{nihongo|[[impurity]]|穢れ|kegare}} and {{nihongo|misfortune|厄|yaku}} on to a {{nihongo|hina doll|雛人形|hina ningyou}} and then putting it into a river to be carried away – she collects the misfortune by gathering the hina dolls at the downstream.<ref>''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'': [[Symposium of Post-mysticism/Hina Kagiyama|Hina Kagiyama's article]].</ref><br />
<br />
===Name===<br />
Her name is {{nihongo||鍵山雛|Hina Kagiyama}}. The characters for {{nihongo||鍵山|Kagiyama}} literally mean "key mountain". {{nihongo||雛|Hina}} usually means "(bird) chick", but in her case, it's highly likely that it came from the event of {{nihongo||流し'''雛'''|nagashi-bina}}.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
In ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'''s official art, Hina has aquamarine hair and eyes. Her hair is decorated with red bows and white frills. Part of her hair is tied under her chin with a bow as a sort front ponytail. She wears a red dress which is darker around her middle and lighter on the bottom. The dress also has white frills on the bottom and an enormous white kerchief on top. The bottom of her dress is decorated with a similar aquamarine swirl resembling the "{{lang|ja|厄}}" (misfortune) kanji at the bottom. As footwear she has knee-length black cross-laced boots similar to [[Alice Margatroid]]'s.<br />
<br />
At the fight Hina is spinning during all her [[spell card]] attacks. And apparently it is her speciality, as explained in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''. This is also seen in ''[[Double Spoiler]]''.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
[[File:Th10HinaSprite.png|frame|Hina's sprite in ''MoF'']]<br />
Depending on who you choose as a playable character, Hina will either face [[Reimu Hakurei]] or [[Marisa Kirisame]] in the stage 2 fight of ''Mountain of Faith'' at [[Youkai Mountain#The Great Youkai Forest|the Great Youkai Forest]] near a river.<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Reimu Arc}}<br />
Hina tries to chase Reimu away during the midboss fight, as she explains that it's her job to chase away lost humans. But Reimu claims she isn't lost and just want to go to the [[Youkai Mountain]] and then starts to fight as she thinks Hina is a [[youkai]]. Hina once again tries to stop Reimu, but fails.<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Mountain of Faith Reimu Arc|Mountain of Faith/Story/Marisa's Scenario#Stage 2|l1=Marisa Arc}}<br />
Marisa says it takes so long to enter the mountain that she could "recite all the digits of pi" before she gets there. Hina then enters and is wondering what Marisa is talking about. Hina does not want Marisa, or any other human, to enter the mountain as it could be dangerous. Hina is trying to protect them from the mountain, but Marisa wants to enter the mountain anyway and starts fighting with Hina.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Hina appeared as a [[stage]] 2 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 />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
[[File:Th135Hina.png|frame|Hina in ''HM'']]<br />
Hina made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Genbu Ravine]] and [[Youkai Tanuki Forest]] stage. She is seen standing waving her hand.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Shizuha Aki'''|秋 静葉|Aki Shizuha}} is the goddess of autumn leaves and thus has the power to control the turning of the leaves. She is [[Minoriko Aki]]'s older sister and together they have the ability to control autumn.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Shizuha first appeared in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' being a [[stage]] 1 [[Boss|midboss]]. She then later appear as a target in ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' as a background character.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
She believes that the autumn colors of the turning leaves are the best thing about autumn, and is filled with a sense of superiority when she shows the beauty of the leaves to her sister. She becomes sorrowful and pessimistic as winter approaches.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Controlling the turning of leaves<br />
Surprisingly, she doesn't use supernatural powers to turn the leaves red. Instead she "paints" them by hand, which is why the colors of the leaves are inconsistent.<ref name="SoPM_Shizuha"/> Fallen leaves are another part of her work. Instead of dropping leaves moderately, she simply kicks on the trees and scatters them roughly.<ref name="SoPM_Shizuha"/><ref name="DS_SC1_3"/><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
She is the [[god]]dess of autumn leaves, and with her sister, who is the goddess of harvest, they control autumn. Together they're not the best at fighting, but when someone is disrupting autumn they punish that person.<br />
<br />
It is difficult for her to gather faith, which makes it a bit challenging to distinguish her from a normal [[youkai]]. However, goddesses of autumn leaves appear to be pretty rare, so she doesn't have the problem of competition that her sister Minoriko faces.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
[[File:ThGKAki.png|thumb|200px|Shizuha, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her name is {{nihongo|''Shizuha Aki''|秋 静葉}}. The character for {{nihongo||秋|Aki}} means "Autumn", and {{nihongo||静葉|Shizuha}} means {{nihongo|"quiet"|静}} and {{nihongo|"leaves"|葉}}.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Shizuha has yellow-orange eyes and short blond hair with red autumn leaves in her ''Mountain of Faith'' official art. She wears a long red-orange dress with darker red at her middle and arms and more orange towards the bottom and ends with leaf-shaped cut-outs around. There is a white collar at the top of the dress. Under the white collar there is something what resembles a nametag, with three buttons next to it. She has white socks and black shoes.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
[[File:Th10ShizuhaSprite.png|frame|Shizuha's sprite in ''MoF'']]<br />
Shizuha was under the impression that the heroine in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' was coming to disrupt autumn, which prompted her to attack. But she was easily defeated, however, being a mere first-[[stage]] midboss.<br />

Abilities: Governing autumn leaves<br />
<br />
The older sister of the stage 1 boss, Minoriko. Normally they control autumn together as sisters. They're not terribly good at fighting, but they thought they'd come to warn and punish the humans who came to disrupt the autumn.<br />
<br />
She believes that the autumn colors of the turning leaves are the best thing about autumn, and is filled with a sense of superiority when she can show her younger sister their beauty. When winter comes, she becomes sorrowful.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Minoriko Aki'''|秋 穣子|Aki Minoriko}} is the [[god]]dess of abundant harvest in [[Gensokyo]]. Along with [[Shizuha Aki|Shizuha]], her older sister, they control the [[Wikipedia:autumn|autumn]] season. She visits the [[Human Village]] to give humans a good harvest, and she also runs a sweet potato stand.<br />
{{TOC limit|3}}<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Her first appearance was in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' as a stage 1 boss. Minoriko is one of the [[Yaoyorozu no Kami|myriad gods]]. She appears during the autumn season in various places in Gensokyo to bless or curse the humans' crops.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Minoriko is simplistic and cheerful. For a goddess, she isn't very dignified, however. She also has a superiority complex with regards to Shizuha, and together they become depressed when winter comes. In her dialogue with Reimu she said that gods put lots of time into themselves. That is why she wears freshly-harvested sweet potato smelling perfume.<br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
Minoriko is a harvest goddess. However, it appears that she's lesser-known, as there are many other, more famous harvest gods. Because of this, she's considered a "wild" or "feral" goddess who has great difficulty acquiring any faith at all. It is for this reason that she is nearly indistinguishable from a regular youkai. Compared to her sister, Shizuha, she is having more difficult time, since harvest gods and goddesses are particularly plentiful. However, she appreciates the smaller workload, and despite not having many shrines dedicated to her, she still gets enough faith from individual people. She regularly attends the humans' yearly harvest festival to bless their crops.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Controlling abundant harvest <br />
Her ability is to control the autumn harvest. Thus, she can either bring about a plentiful harvest or destroy crops altogether. Apparently she works hard to cultivate the crops one at a time, and this power is limited to just plants that bear in the autumn. She's called to the [[Human Village]] as a special guest at the harvest festival every year. If she is not called for before the harvest, she is not able to guarantee an abundant harvest, but that's not her problem, and she would not point it out.<br />
<br />
From the view of the residents of [[Gensokyo]], the ability to make crops have an abundant harvest is a god-like power, and at looking at how she is called to the harvest festival every year, it can be considered that among gods, she considerably close and intimate to humans.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
[[File:ThGKAki.png|thumb|200px|Minoriko as depicted in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
{{nihongo|''Minoriko Aki''|秋 穣子}} is her name. The character for {{nihongo||秋|Aki}} means "Autumn" or "Fall. {{nihongo||穣子|Minoriko}} can be split into {{nihongo||穣|minori}} what could mean "Bountiful", "Harvest" or "Seed-spreading" and {{nihongo||子|ko}} what could mean "child". "Minori" could also possibly refer to {{lang|ja|実り}} which means "ripening" or "harvest."<br />
<br />
In her official profile of ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'', her name in Japanese was misspelled as {{nihongo||秋 '''稔'''子|Aki '''Minoru'''ko}}.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Minoriko's ''Mountain of Faith'' portrait shows her having red eyes and blond hair. She wears a yellow blouse with poofy sleeves and a red dress which goes about halfway up her chest and has black straps over the shoulders. Over the dress there is a red apron which has a wheat pattern at the bottom, and her red hat has a cluster of blue grapes on the front. She doesn't have any footwear.<br />
<br />
It's supposed that [[ZUN]] likened her to a Japanese one-legged scarecrow which guards farms, due to her having two left feet. The Japanese term for {{nihongo|"scarecrow"|かかし|kakashi}}, came from ''kagashi'', which means "smeller". This may explain why Minoriko talks about her smell in [[Reimu Hakurei|Reimu]]'s scenario.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;[[Mountain of Faith]]<br />
[[File:Th10MinorikoSprite.png|frame|Minoriko's sprite in ''MoF'']]<br />
Minoriko fights Reimu or [[Marisa Kirisame|Marisa]] in ''Mountain of Faith'' near the [[Youkai Mountain]].<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Reimu's Scenario#Stage 1|l1=Reimu Arc}}<br />
Minoriko is afraid to be eaten by Reimu in their dialogue, as Reimu smells something tasty. Minoriko says the smell comes from her perfume made of freshly-harvested sweet potatoes. She is still afraid of getting eaten by Reimu when the fight starts, and gets defeated.<br />
:{{Main|Mountain of Faith/Story/Marisa's Scenario#Stage 1|l1=Marisa Arc}}<br />
Marisa says she could use some practice, and then Minoriko shows up. Minoriko says that the [[youkai]] in the Youkai Mountain are much different from those Marisa has already met and that she should be afraid of them, but Marisa isn't. Then Minoriko starts to fight, but is easily defeated by Marisa.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />

In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Minoriko was [[Aya Shameimaru|Aya]]'s practice partner, but she got annoyed and started to attack Aya. She appeared as a [[stage]] 1 target, where she uses a few [[spell card]]s and had [[Aya Shameimaru]] and [[Hatate Himekaidou]] take photos of her and her [[danmaku]].<br />

'''Minoriko Aki'''<br />
<br />
Species: Harvest Goddess<br/><br />
Abilities: Governing abundant harvest<br />
<br />
The first stage boss, and Shizuha's younger sister. Normally, they rule over autumn as sisters. She's called to the [[Human Village|village]] as a special guest at the harvest festival every year. If she is not called for before the harvest, she is not able to guarantee an abundant harvest, but that's not her problem, and she would not point it out.<br />
<br />
She's always surrounded by a sweet scent of fruits and other harvest items, and has something of a superiority complex with regards to her older sister. When winter comes, she becomes sorrowful.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Shizuha Aki'''|秋 静葉|Aki Shizuha}} is the goddess of autumn leaves and thus has the power to control the turning of the leaves. She is [[Minoriko Aki]]'s older sister and together they have the ability to control autumn.<br />
<br />
==General Information==<br />
Shizuha first appeared in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' being a [[stage]] 1 [[Boss|midboss]]. She then later appear as a target in ''[[Double Spoiler]]'' and in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' as a background character.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
She believes that the autumn colors of the turning leaves are the best thing about autumn, and is filled with a sense of superiority when she shows the beauty of the leaves to her sister. She becomes sorrowful and pessimistic as winter approaches.<br />
<br />
===Ability===<br />
;Controlling the turning of leaves<br />
Surprisingly, she doesn't use supernatural powers to turn the leaves red. Instead she "paints" them by hand, which is why the colors of the leaves are inconsistent.<ref name="SoPM_Shizuha"/> Fallen leaves are another part of her work. Instead of dropping leaves moderately, she simply kicks on the trees and scatters them roughly.<ref name="SoPM_Shizuha"/><ref name="DS_SC1_3"/><br />
<br />
===Occupation===<br />
She is the [[god]]dess of autumn leaves, and with her sister, who is the goddess of harvest, they control autumn. Together they're not the best at fighting, but when someone is disrupting autumn they punish that person.<br />
<br />
It is difficult for her to gather faith, which makes it a bit challenging to distinguish her from a normal [[youkai]]. However, goddesses of autumn leaves appear to be pretty rare, so she doesn't have the problem of competition that her sister Minoriko faces.<br />
<br />
==Character Basis==<br />
[[File:ThGKAki.png|thumb|200px|Shizuha, as illustrated in ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'']]<br />
===Name===<br />
Her name is {{nihongo|''Shizuha Aki''|秋 静葉}}. The character for {{nihongo||秋|Aki}} means "Autumn", and {{nihongo||静葉|Shizuha}} means {{nihongo|"quiet"|静}} and {{nihongo|"leaves"|葉}}.<br />
<br />
===Design===<br />
Shizuha has yellow-orange eyes and short blond hair with red autumn leaves in her ''Mountain of Faith'' official art. She wears a long red-orange dress with darker red at her middle and arms and more orange towards the bottom and ends with leaf-shaped cut-outs around. There is a white collar at the top of the dress. Under the white collar there is something what resembles a nametag, with three buttons next to it. She has white socks and black shoes.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
===Games===<br />
;''Mountain of Faith''<br />
[[File:Th10ShizuhaSprite.png|frame|Shizuha's sprite in ''MoF'']]<br />
Shizuha was under the impression that the heroine in ''[[Mountain of Faith]]'' was coming to disrupt autumn, which prompted her to attack. But she was easily defeated, however, being a mere first-[[stage]] midboss.<br />
<br />
===Spin-offs===<br />
;''Double Spoiler''<br />
[[File:Th135Shizuha.png|frame|Shizuha in ''HM'']]<br />
In ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', Shizuha appeared as a stage 1 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 />
;''Hopeless Masquerade''<br />
Shizuha made a background cameo appearance in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' on the [[Genbu Ravine]] and [[Youkai Tanuki Forest]] stage. She is seen with her sister [[Minoriko Aki]] cheering.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===[[Minoriko Aki]]=== <br />
Minoriko is her younger sister. Together they control [[Gensokyo]]'s fall season. Shizuha often brags about how beautiful she makes the leaves look, but is also jealous about Minoriko's popularity with humans as a harvest goddess.<br />

==Additional Information==<br />
*It makes very much sense for Shizuha to be the older sister who is the goddess of turning leaves as the leaves change in autumn before the harvest.<br />
