Her full name is Hiraga Shounen (平賀 生然). "Hiraga (平賀)" means "Peace and joy", while "Shounen (生然)" means "Life" and "sort-of". Her full name means "kind of living in peace and joy", tying into her concept of pretending to be a Buddhist monk

○2面ボス キャッチ不能のコピー
種族:妖怪鰻 本作のオリジナルキャラクター。 最近、外の世界で鰻の絶滅が案じられていることの反転として、幻想郷では鰻がよく獲れるようになった。 ただし今の所仏教自体に興味は無い。 また、夏バテ対策として鰻に代わって焼き鳥を推している。 今回、ゲームを遊んでいただけだったが、反則的に強い人間が通りがかったのが運の尽きだった。 |
○Stage 2 Boss - Uncatchable Copycat Shounen Hiraga Species: Eel youkai An original character from this fangame. As eels are going extinct recently, the number of eels has dramatically increased in Gensokyo, making them easier to catch. But she wasn't interested in Buddhism in any way. Besides, as a countermeasure to high eel demand in summer (it's believed in Japan that eel is a food remedy for summer fatigue), she's been pushing chicken skewers to be the new trending food. Although she just wanted to enjoy the game this time, the humans she encountered were, unfortunately, the most powerful ones this world can offer. |

Yukari Yakumo is the Stage 3 boss. Keep in mind that while she is an official Touhou Project character, only information relating to her role in this fangame will be noted here.
Concept
- Name
See official article.
- Appearance
In Fan-made Virtual Autography, Yukari has an original design that draws inspiration from many of her previous designs. The general look of her outfit looks similar to her usual appearance with a white, four-layered frilled dress and a purple Chinese-style tabard with black edges and black trigrams (which were explained in her official article).
Main difference from her usual design is that her outer-most layer of the dress is purple (sort of reminiscent of her PCB design) with a white gradient towards the bottom. Her hairstyle is also different - Instead of her usual long hair tied with ribbons, or a bun, she has her hair shoulder-long, with a lock to her left being tied into a short braid with a red bow at the end. She holds her signature parasol and has her gap portal open and gazing behind her

○Stage 3 Boss - Border of Fantasy Yukari Yakumo Species: Youkai One of the good old faces from the official games. She manages one of Gensokyo's boundaries, the "boundary of concrete and abstract". This time, she received reports from her pets that Map Orbs were interacting with the barrier, and she decided to visit the creator. However, nothing noteworthy had happened since then. The day of reckoning will come, for those who created this endless battle and manipulated the boundary of games. |

少女の秘密のエピグラム |
Sasuta no Izuhime (刺田 厳姫) is the Stage 4 boss and midboss.
Concept
- Origin
Izuhime is based on Michinoomi no Mikoto, a figure appearing in the Kojiki and Nihonshoki who was the ancestor to the Otomo clan. Formerly known as Hinoomi no Mikoto, he was given his current title after opening up a pathway to Uda while being guided by the Yatagarasu, which lead the troops to the Kune clan.
When he was appointed as the Saishu of a ritual to serve Takamimusubi, he was given the given the title of "Izuhime" (Princess Izu), despite Mikoto being a male, due to the role of Saishu at the time being reserved for women.
- Name
Her full name is Sasuta no Izuhime (刺田 の 厳姫). "Sasuta (刺田)" means "thorn field". "Sasu (刺)" can also refer to "biting words".
"Izuhime (厳姫)" means "Strict Princess", which is a trait reflected in her character design. It is also based on the title given to Michinoomi no Mikoto when he was appointed as a Saishu by Emperor Jinmu.
"no (の)" is an archaic particle, showing that someone is of high status. It can be translated as "Izuhime of the Sasuta clan"
- Appearance
Izuhime has long black hair, tied with a blue ribbon into a ponytail and brown eyes. She wears a black visor with a red compass pin. Her outfit resembles that of a Japanese shrine maiden with a white kimono and a red skirt. She has long detached sleeves which are tied around her arm with a red ribbon. The ends of the sleeves are decorated with red ribbon and black frills. Her red skirt is decorated with a white pattern of triangles and spirals and a golden tassel and a clover-leaf knot around her waist. She has black socks that go over her knees, geta sandals and brown leather gloves, which allow for crows to sit on her arms. On her left hand sits Yatagarasu and in her right hand she holds what looks like a gohei, but upon closer inspection is probably a police baton with shide being made to look like compass needles.

○Stage 4 Boss - Patrolling Shrine Maiden of Paradise Sasuta no Izuhime Species: Divine Spirit One of the original characters from this fangame. She can also summon hordes of Yatagarasu under her commands, Despite living in the Outside World, she is one of Gensokyo's co-managers. As she is the ancient ancestor of Kazuha, she received faith from Mariko while occasionally supporting her research. Supposedly, it shouldn't be possible for her to interfere with Gensokyo inside, but she still proceeded anyway. There's a reason for that. However, it was intriguing to her that Yukari left them behind and turned around pursuing mobs that were only putting Map Orbs in their places. What exactly is this "Map Orb Game"? |

Mariko Sengakuji (仙覚寺 鞠子 Sengakuji Mariko) is the Stage 5 boss and midboss, as well as the stage 6 midboss.
Concept
- Origin
Mariko appears to be inspired by Senkagu. Sengaku was a Buddhist monk who wrote the Manyoushuu Chushaku, which was a literary analysis of Manyoushuu. Mariko, just like her namesake, interprets, analyses, and annotates Manyoushuu and waka poetry in general
- Name
Her full name is Sengakuji Mariko (仙覚寺 鞠子). "Mariko (鞠子)" consists of the kanji for "ball" and "child". Her name comes from Take no Gosho, daughter of Minamoto no Yoriie. Take no Gosho was also recorded as "Mariko" in the court rank diploma. "Sengakuji (仙覚寺)" sounds identical to a temple located in Tokyo, but the kanji are different. In this case, it means "Sengaku Temple" and literally translates to "Temple of an Awake Hermit". 覚 also appears in the game's Japanese title - 東方覚醒珠.
- Appearance
Mariko has long, straight, pale green hair with red tips and dark red eyes. Her hair is cut into straight bangs and is split in the middle. Her outfit feels very old-timey - she wears a black frilly mob cap with an orb ornament as its centerpiece. She has a black jacket with long puffy sleeves underneath which she wears a black dress. The jacket has white frills at the ends of the sleeves, at its bottom and around the neck. It seems to be fastened with a white string. Her sleeves and her cap seem to have a floral pattern. Her dress has a crossing pattern of white fabric, creating a rhombus-shaped pattern. Within each of these she has a smaller dotted line rhombus pattern with white pompoms in the middle. She holds a wooden cross-shaped pencil.

○Stage 5 Boss - Testamentary Executor of the Hiki Clan Mariko Sengakuji Species: Ghost One of the original characters in this fangame. She stayed within Kerria City, studying and deciphering Waka collections. Different from usual ghosts, she never attracts livings into the world of death. While she was alive, she was grievous about the downfall of the Minamoto clan and the misery that awaited her. By the nature of such causes, her resolution was never about hating or killing. ...But it turned out those worries were unnecessary. This man was too much of a nutjob to be worried about. He spent his life studying up on a legendary poet who summarized an entire life's worth of Waka into a single collection. His burning enthusiasm eventually convinced Mariko to join his research. He had made a name for himself through his Waka research, but his life had ended before he could achieve his ambition. Those in the living world never knew Mariko and her companions' last wishes. A few hundred years later, she finally finished documenting the life of the legendary poet, Ootomo no Kazuha. |

In her right hand she holds a quill and her left hand has letters coming out of it.
Her entire design reeks of Heian-era noble class - Junihitoe was commonly worn by high-ranking noblewomen. Katana were also commonly owned by the high-class.
Her design also makes her look like a book - her outermost layers resembles a brown cover with golden edges and the white junihitoe looks like the pages.

○6面ボス 遠方を恋う撰者
種族:撰者の霊 本作のオリジナルキャラクター。 人々を救いたがる野心家だが、その性格は生前の本人のそれとは異なっている。それは、自身に綴られたさまざまな作者たちの歌、そして何より、復活のために鞠子が加えた大量の附註・加筆の影響である。

○Stage 6 Boss - The Compiler, Love beyond the Border Otomo no Kazuha Species: Ghost of a scholar One of the original characters from this fangame. She's a lady of ambitions who is devoted to saving humankind, but she was a completely different person compared to who she is now. Map Orb is a kind of device that was made to transfer what its owner had envisioned, including their emotions and imaginations drawn by such vision, to Kazuha. But she's not just going for a replica. This is Kazuha's real objective. Gensokyo, a land that exists deep in the Japanese mountains, but also a land that never existed. ... and all she wants to do with such incredible power is to help humans travel to lands far from their own homes. Her whole life, Kazuha had been filled with love poems that expressed the yearning from people who loved each other from a long distance, along with The mystery behind the "spiriting away" phenomenon (teleportation, in other words) was about to be solved. Eventually, Kazuha failed all her attempts. However, humans nowadays are no longer as helpless as the ones who lived in Kazuha's era. |

Meme Nokiba (軒端 目々 Nobika Meme) is the Extra stage boss.
Concept
- Concept
Mémé is based on three core things - a Go board, video games and Mokumokuren. Mokumokuren (目目連 literally meaning "Countless eyes") is a youkai that appears as eyes in broken shoji walls, which is reflected in the Map Orbs being her eyes and her spell cards. Her video game influence is reflected in her wearing a VR Headset and being the creator of the incident
- Name
Her full name is Nokiba Mémé (軒端 目々). "Mémé (目々)" means "Eyes" and is an alternate reading of Mokumoku (taken from Mokumokuren). Her name being written as Mémé is a stylistic choice to attempt preventing people from mispronouncing it as the English word. "Nokiba (軒端)" means "edge of the eaves"
- Appearance
Mémé has short dull brown hair with white strands. She has locks of her tied with red ribbons into twin tails with buns. She wears a VR Headset which covers her eyes. When she removes it, it's revealed she has heterochromia - her left eye being red and the right one being white. She wears a long yukata tied with a belt (probably not an obi). Yukata has a grid pattern and is half-red, half-white. Tomoeri of her yukata is a dull brown color with a repeating pattern of "X" and "O"s, which is probably a reference to Tic-Tac-Toe - another game played on a grid. At the ends of her sleeves and the bottom of her yukata, she has a pattern consisting of black rhombuses. Her gray belt has a white screen that displays her emotions, probably for ease of communication when her eyes are obstructed. The belt also has two gray semi-sphered from which protrude purple wires that connect to the cup-shaped controllers she's holding. One has white Go pieces and the other has red ones. She walks barefoot

○Extra Stage Boss - Bloodstained Retro Game Mémé Nokiba Species: Tsukumogami (Mokumokuren) One of the original characters in this fangame. She possesses countless eyeballs spawned from Go stones, and she can set those eyeballs freely on any places that match a Go board pattern. It may sound like a strong ability in theory, but in practice, Go board-esque objects are rather rare in human environments. A few moments ago, she was visited by a divine spirit named Izuhime, Since they promised her such immense power that would allow her to deploy eyeballs on a scale that she could've never imagined, she accepted their terms without a second thought. Mokumokuren is the kind of youkai that doesn't mean any harm. Izuhime knows the fact as well that unless it's by God's will, there shouldn't be any reasons for Mokumokuren to attack humans. But Izuhime and her companies overlooked Meme's true intention when she suggested the Go board design. The objective of a Go game is to occupy more spaces. So for her to define this large area as a Go board, all she needs to do is to create a situation where it's like a real Go game is being played. Mémé quickly mapped out the rules for the "Map Orb Game." With Mimi's assistance, the game gradually became a social phenomenon. Set more eyeballs, create more competitions. This is what ought to be done. |
