===Abilities and strength===
Yukari is with no doubt one of the most powerful [[youkai]] in [[Gensokyo]]. A few other youkai like [[Suika Ibuki]] and [[Yuugi Hoshiguma]] have been considered to be around her level. Yukari also refers to [[Watatsuki no Toyohime]] as being stronger than she is, and tries to avoid direct confrontations with her. Despite her power, she might still lose [[spell card]] battles to [[human]]s or youkai.

Her physical strength is what you'd expect from a youkai. While the extent of an average youkai's strength is never really specified, their bodily ability is typically very high, so her strength is still far from that of a [[human]].

With the word "[[boundary]]" in its name, Yukari is capable of pretty much anything put under the influence of this ability. In her monologue during [[A Beautiful Flower Blooming Violet Every Sixty Years]], she explains that this power allows her to control the boundaries "between any and all things", like Gensokyo and the outside world, the worlds of the living and the dead, humans and youkai, and even the day and the night. <ref>[[A Beautiful Flower_Blooming Violet Every Sixty Years]] - '''Yukari''': I'm a youkai with the ability to control the boundaries between any and all things.

By manipulating borders in space and creating a chasm, she is able to link together separate places. According to this, she's able to show up in unexpected places from time to time, but the aforementioned suspiciousness has been refined. Although this gap is a kind of sub-space, within Yukari's gap, one can see a lot of eyes. These eyes are a manifestation of what one can say is the image of "how desires are swirling around" that Yukari sees in the [[Outside World|outside world]]. The description of Yukari's ''Magic Eye "Laplace's Demon"'' [[spell card]] implies that Yukari can see using the eyes, as well. Also, although sign posts and other flotsam also drift about, these things also come from Yukari's image of "things that have come to be of no use in the outside world".

Other than that, since there is a boundary on the water surface so to speak, as there is definitely a distinction between water and atmosphere, and since there is the boundary called the horizon that separates the sky from the earth, as was said, she can freely manipulate the boundary of all existent things at will. According to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', it seems that not only are physical boundaries, but also the general idea of boundaries are also able to be manipulated, and it seems like she would be able to manipulate the boundary between dreams and reality and open up holes for people to enter into dreams, which is probably how she was able to drag the real [[Sumireko Usami]] out of the [[Dream World]] in [[Antinomy of Common Flowers]]. Yukari is also capable of seeing (and seeing through) boundaries that are normally invisible; when the [[Human Village]] was displaced from history by [[Keine Kamishirasawa]], Yukari was still able to see it.<ref>''[[Imperishable Night]]'' Stage 3 - "Hey hey. I do see the humans as usual though. A deception of this level isn't useful at all, is it?"</ref>.

The Gensokyo Record in [[Perfect Cherry Blossom/Translation/Prologue|''Perfect Cherry Blossom''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s prologue]] says that the original Gensokyo boundary (presumably the first "boundary between inside and outside" mentioned in Yukari's ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' article) was created by priests, but [[ZUN]] said in his [[ZUN's E-mails|e-mails]] that the Gensokyo Record is not reliable, and that only the long lived youkai knows the true history of Gensokyo. [[Hieda no Akyuu]] firmly believes Yukari was involved, and the prologue of [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 26|''Curiosities of Lotus Asia'', Chapter 26]],<ref name="CoLA26" />. states that Yukari being the creator of the barrier that separates the human world and Gensokyo is an ongoing rumor. According to Rinnosuke, Yukari's power is what separates Gensokyo from the outside world,<ref name="CoLA26" /> and Reimu refered to Yukari as the creator of the barrier when explaining its properties to [[Kasen Ibaraki]] and [[Marisa Kirisame]].<ref name = Wahh25 />

;Yukari's name related to Colors
;Yukari's name related to colors
All of the Yakumo family are named after colors. The light frequencies (energies) of the colors are proportional to their powers: [[Chen]] (orange) << [[Ran Yakumo]] (indigo) < Yukari (violet). The energy of violet light is the highest in the visible spectrum, and violet light is the boundary between visible and invisible light. Red light (the symbolic color of [[Remilia Scarlet]] or [[Reimu Hakurei]]) is another boundary, but they are stronger than Chen. Fittingly, when Reimu and Yukari team up in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', they are called the "Boundary Team". In addition to maintaining the [[Great Hakurei Barrier]], their colors form the two boundaries between visible and invisible light. In addition, the word "yukari" is uncommonly used to mean "border" or "edge", albeit with a different character.

There is an assumption that her name ''Yakumo'' is taken from the writer [[wikipedia:Lafcadio Hearn|Lafcadio Hearn]], who naturalized as a Japanese citizen and renamed to "Koizumi Yakumo". When fans asked about the implied connection between Yukari and [[Maribel Hearn]] in a [[Doujin Barrier: The Work Called Touhou and the Fantasy of Game Creation|high school open lecture program]], ZUN brought up Lafcadio Hearn but did not elaborate. ''See [[Maribel Hearn]] article page for details.''

Her first appearance was in ''[[Perfect Cherry Blossom]]'', where she is depicted with purple eyes and long blonde hair. She carries a pink lace parasol and a paper fan, and rides on a red [[gap]] that leads to an unknown destination. She wears a deep purple dress, a pale pink mob cap with a thin red ribbon, and smaller ribbons tied liberally on her accessories and the tips of her hair.

In her appearances in ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'' and ''[[Scarlet Weather Rhapsody]]'', her eyes have become dark golden. She wears a purple Chinese-style tabard with various [[#Hexagram|Trigrams]] over a pale pink Western-style dress (similar to [[Ran Yakumo]]'s outfit), wears her hair coiled up into her mob cap, and usually carries a pink parasol. She wears the same outfit in ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', but her hair is left loose. In the Japanese community this outfit is known as the {{nihongo|"Taoist dress"|道士服}}.

After Kasen came down from the mountain in the present day, Yukari assumed Kasen was always "on her side" and that Kasen's actions were intended to help Yukari's ideals. Kasen finally got fed up by the time of Wild and Horned Hermit Chapter 35 and angrily informed Yukari that she wasn't on her side. This caused Yukari a brief visible moment of distress before she regained her composure, but she also stated she would wait as long as it takes for Kasen to come to her side.

Kasen's dream self in [[Antimony of Common Flowers]] calls Yukari a coward who gets others to do her work for her because she's too scared to do it herself.  As dream selves are unrestrained exaggerations of the real being, it is uncertain how much of this reflects Kasen's actual view of Yukari, but from Doremy's explanation of dream selves in Reisen's scenario, it does mean Kasen's normal feelings fall along those lines at least somewhat.

Okina recognized Yukari's modus operandi, while Reimu said she didn't understand the logic behind the countermeasure method she was using.
