She is most likely inspired by the "stone cherry blossoms" (石桜) featured in [[Wild and Horned Hermit]] chapter 28: cherry blossom-like crystals that coalesce from dead bodies buried under cherry trees, and eventually fall from the cavern ceiling in [[Former Hell]]. She also seems to be inspired by the incident in [[Visionary Fairies in Shrine]], in which faeries were trapped in stone cherry crystals. | |||

Snow Cordie<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Species: Fairy<br> | |||
Ability: Making stones shine → Making talents blossom<br><br> | |||
A fairy who, for some reason, had been acting rashly within the underground. <br> | |||
Apparently, she had become active under the influence of a "dragon" that passed through the depths of the earth.<br><br> | |||
Her ability is to turn minerals into gemstones over a short period of time, but ultimately, <br> | |||
said ability is rooted in her ability to "make talents bloom" and "open up potential". <br> | |||
It would seem that she had used this ability on longmai, ley lines, and even the flow of air currents, causing them to mutate.<br><br> | |||
She may have awakened to a somewhat cheat-class ability, but rest assured.<br> | |||
Her intelligence is that of a fairy, after all.<br><br> | |||
Using this ability, she could cause an extinct volcano to erupt if she wanted to,<br> but she probably won't ever think of that idea or even attempt to do such a thing. | |||

今回の黒幕①。<br> | |||
地の底に封印されていた魔獣。<br> | |||
「饕餮」(とうてつ)と呼ばれた魔獣のはぐれ者。<br> | |||
<br> | |||
もとは太古のとある国で崇拝された神の一柱だったのだが、戦争で国が<br> | |||
滅ぶと、彼女の主人ともども、悪神として歴史の闇に葬られてしまった。<br> | |||
<br> | |||
ほんのすこし前、導命樹の異変の後、地の底から目覚めたのだが、目覚めた<br> | |||
場所はかつて自分が封印された場所ではなく、幻想郷の地底であった。<br> | |||
<br> | |||
戸惑いつつも、近くにかつての主人の魂の気配を感じ取った彼女は、主人を<br> | |||
復活させようと計画する。<br> | |||
幸いなことに、時を同じくして復活した怨霊の協力を得て、彼女は地霊殿を<br> | |||
掌握する。<br> | |||
<br> | |||
魔を食らう能力。人が悪、禍い、災害と認識するすべてのものを彼女は餌と<br> | |||
して食らう力を持っていた。<br> | |||
不幸なことに、地底・地霊殿に住む全ての妖怪たちの能力は、彼女と相性が<br> | |||
最悪だったのである。<br> | |||
<br> | |||
地底の妖怪たちを全て閉じ込め、彼女は主人の力の源――「楓」を地底に<br> | |||
集めることにした。<br> | |||
結果、幻想郷の秋が奪われ、妖怪退治の専門家が彼女をぶちのめしにきた<br> | |||
のは、幻想郷をよく知らぬ彼女の最大の誤算であった。<br> | |||

Species: Majuu (Taotie)<br> | |||

<br> | |||
Mastermind #1 this time around.<br> | |||
A demon beast (majuu) who was sealed underground.<br> | |||
An odd-one-out of the demon beasts known as Taoties (in Japanese, "Toutetsu").<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She was originally one of several gods worshipped in a particular kingdom in ancient times, but as war brought the kingdom to ruin, both she and her master were buried in the darkness of history as evil gods.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She awoke from the depths of the earth after the [[Mystical Power Plant|Life-Guiding Tree Incident]] just a little while ago. But upon opening her eyes, she found herself not in the place where she had once been sealed, but in the underground world below Gensokyo.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Despite her confusion, she sensed the presence of her former master's soul somewhere nearby, and hatched a plan to revive her master. Rather fortunately, she gained the cooperation of a vengeful spirit who had revived at the same time, and took over the Palace of the Earth Spirits.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She held the power to ''devour devilry''-- to eat and nourish herself with everything that humans perceived as evil, harmful or disastrous. Rather ''un''fortunately, this meant that the abilities of every youkai living underground and in the Palace had absolutely terrible affinity with her.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
After trapping all the underground youkai in their town, she began gathering the source of her master's power-- maple leaves-- into the underground.<br> | |||
As a result, Gensokyo's autumn was stolen along with them, and a youkai extermination specialist came to kick her butt. This was her greatest miscalculation, as she was unfamiliar with Gensokyo.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Also, she ''might'' be the same species as the "[[Toutetsu]]" mentioned during the [[Wily Beast and Weakest Creature|Wily Beast Incident]] by the [[Saki Kurokoma|leader of the Keiga Family]], one of the three great organizations that control the Animal Realm. Or she might not. | |||

Kikyou Kabutozukamori<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Species: Vengeful spirit<br> | |||
Ability: Turning her body into steel<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Mastermind #2 this time around.<br> | |||
A vengeful spirit who'd been sealed beneath the earth.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
During the Heian era, Kikyou was a human who served [[wikipedia:Taira no Masakado|the leader]] of a tribe of blacksmiths. These people had lived in an eastern kingdom, in a region that people despised, and had been exploited by the imperial court for a long time.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
The steel-forging prowess developed by Kikyou's master-- the leader of the blacksmith people-- was so amazing that the imperial court feared him as having "a body of pure steel".<ref>A reference to the ''Iron-Body Legend'' (鉄身伝説), which says [[wikipedia:Taira no Masakado|Taira no Masakado]] was born to a giant serpent mother, who licked him all over the body after he was born except at his temple, giving him impenetrable skin made of iron with his temple as the only weakness.</ref> The curved blade that he pioneered the creation of, too, had an edge so keen that it was known as the greatest military force of the time.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
The blacksmiths' leader led an uprising against the imperial court for the sake of their homeland's independence, but he was eventually slain, and branded as an enemy of the state.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Kikyou stole one of the leader's body parts that had been put on display, hoping to at least bury him in his homeland. But, alas, she perished of exhaustion while making her escape.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Her regret at being unable to bring their leader's body home fused together with the regrets housed in the other personal effects she'd stolen-- swords, armor-- and she ultimately became an incarnation of those combined vengeful grudges.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Her vengeance was terrible enough to cause natural disasters at the time, but over time she was forgotten, and became a thing of fantasy.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
From there, months went by... and immediately after Gensokyo experienced an incident caused by a giant plum tree, Kikyou awakened from the depths of the earth. (See [[Mystical_Power_Plant/Story/Reimu_and_Utsuho%27s_Good_Ending|Mystical Power Plant ending]])<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She then met Magura, the majuu who'd awakened at the same time, and decided to cooperate with the plan to revive her master.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Perhaps because Magura's master came from a similar background as her, being a slain member of a blacksmith tribe, Kikyou became very interested in this master.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She describes herself as a hybrid-esque vengeful spirit, different from the regular sort.<br> | |||
The power she wields is truly horrendous, but there's a stark difference between the "vengeful spirit" side of her and the kind, formerly-human side of her. | |||

<br> | |||
反乱の際に生み出されたのが、後に「五兵」と呼ばれる剣・矛・弓・斧・戟と<br> | |||

Shuuu Yasogami<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Species: Demon god ([[wikipedia:Chiyou|Chiyou]])<br> | |||
Ability: Producing weapons<br> | |||
<br> | |||
The master of a [[wikipedia:History_of_metallurgy_in_China#Myth_and_legend|blacksmith tribe]] that existed in ancient China, described as both Han Chinese and as an inhuman monster.<br> | |||
Her true name is ''Chiyou'' (蚩尤).<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She had the ability to use human malice and hostility as a medium to produce weapons. She never wanted such a power, but the tribe she ruled over desperately needed that power. As blacksmiths, they were societally weak, and had been dominated by the strong.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Thus, her people led the first rebellion to occur in their country.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
The swords, spears, arrows, axes and [[wikipedia:Ji_(polearm)|''ji'']] produced during the rebellion later came to be known as the legendary "Five Weapons". (These simple weapons were the only ones she could produce from the primeval malice and hostility held by people of the time.)<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Her mysterious power also allowed her to control armies of demons, thick fog, and the like.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
But even with her power, she couldn't defeat the [[wikipedia:Yellow_Emperor|then-ruler of the time, who could even control dragons.]] In the end, she was slain. The blood spilt from her became maple leaves, and dyed the mountains of the region a deep red.<ref>From the [[wikipedia:Classic of Mountains and Seas|''Classic of Mountains and Seas'']]: 有木生山上,名曰枫木。枫木,蚩尤所弃其桎梏,是为枫木 (The trees on the mountain are maple trees. When Chiyou discarded its chains, they became maple)</ref><br> | |||
<br> | |||
Thousands of years passed...<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Magura, a former minion of hers, plotted to revive her in Gensokyo. As Gensokyo's autumn gathered in the form of maple leaves, she could feel it returning to her like the flow of blood, from deep within her slumber.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She prayed that when she awoke, it would be in a world without anyone who bore hostility towards her. When she was alive, she knew full well how human malice could spread, lead to resentment, and become tempered hostility. She predicted that the hostility built up by mankind over several thousand years of history would be utterly horrific, enough to far surpass the weapons she once produced.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
However...<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She had no way of knowing this while she slept, but the emotions directed at her by the red-white and white-black humans that she would soon face off against were not the "hostility" she was familiar with.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
<nowiki>* * * * *</nowiki> | |||
<br> | |||
Since the strength of the weapons she produces depends heavily on the strength of her opponent's hostile intent, the only weapons she can produce against her opponent in a danmaku game are weapons specifically designed for danmaku games. She never had a savage personality-- just that of a gentle craftsman-- so it was very fortunate for her that she revived in Gensokyo's underground.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
If she had been revived in the Outside World... well. She doesn't bother thinking about that. | |||

Species: Dragon (larval)<br> | |||
Ability: Swimming through ''long mai''<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Within the so-called "Qi" of the Underground, which exists both in Gensokyo and the Outside World, <br> | |||
there is a being able to move freely in and out of that current.<br> | |||
Megumu here is a manifestation of what people call "Longmai", so to speak.<br> | |||
(Humans can only describe her as being a "dragon", even though she is still too young to be called such) | |||
<br><br> | |||
She's partly responsible for things like the sudden diastrophisms and earthquakes that occur in various parts of the Earth, <br> | |||
as well as the excavation of oil fields and river fountainheads.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
She usually rushes about through the underground longmai in the Outside World, <br>feeding off of the memories of the people who sleep in land plots and stratum.<br> | |||
(The stream of ancient peoples' memories that flow into the long mai might be recognized as "history")<br><br> | |||
However, recently, a small bit of her momentum had moved a portion of China's underground stratum to Gensokyo's underground.<br> (She had claimed it to be an inevitable outcome as a result of her swimming through long mai; | |||
It would appear that she had gotten various other strata and magma got involved as well)<br><br> | |||
Fortunately (or unfortunately), that particular stratum was the one that Magura and Shuuu had been sealed away in. <br>As a result, this autumn season had marked the beginning of an incident. | |||
<br> | |||
She is still immature, so she lacks the majesty of a full-grown dragon, making her very interested in humans. <br> | |||
<br> | |||
The memories of the ancient people she feeds on, which flowed into the long mai...<br>She felt it was a foolish yet lovely thing that those memories had accumulated to become "history".<br><br> | |||
Unfortunately for her, she ended up being attacked for causing<br>this incident while resting in Gensokyo's underground. | |||

Making stones shine |
Snow Cordie (スノウコーディア) is the Stage 3 midboss and the Extra Stage midboss.
Concept
She is most likely inspired by the "stone cherry blossoms" (石桜) featured in Wild and Horned Hermit chapter 28: cherry blossom-like crystals that coalesce from dead bodies buried under cherry trees, and eventually fall from the cavern ceiling in Former Hell. She also seems to be inspired by the incident in Visionary Fairies in Shrine, in which faeries were trapped in stone cherry crystals.
- Name
"Cordie" is derived from cordierite, specifically a pseudomorph known as cerasite. Cerasite appears in attractive, petal-shaped crystals, earning it the name sakuraishi (桜石), or "cherry blossom stone".

Concept
<add here>
- Name
Megumu (めぐむ) is a hiragana rendering of the Nanori reading of "ryuu" (龍 "dragon"). It could also likely be a pun on 芽ぐむ, meaning "to sprout", referring to her status as a newborn dragon.
In terms of her last name, "Garyuuen" (臥龍円) translates to "reclining dragon circle". "Garyuu" (臥龍) is typically used to refer to an unrecognized genius hidden among the crowd.
- Appearance

Story
The instigator of the incident. While swimming within the underground flow of energy known as "longmai" (dragon veins), her shifting movement had accidentally sent the stratum sealing away Shuuu and Magura into Gensokyo from China.
Her presence was largely unknown until the heroines noticed a massive tunnel underground. She was defeated for her involvement in the incident.
