Line 20:
== Concerning the romanization of names ==
There are two principal methods for transcribing Japanese names into Latin letters: the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization Hepburn System], which is more common in the West because it yields something closer to English phonetic, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunrei-shiki_romanization Kunrei-shiki System], which is the official romanization method in Japan, even if it's not used much. In general, [[Word of God|ZUN]] favored the Hepburn System before ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', but changed to the Kunrei-shiki System afterward. This page uses the Hepburn format for the sake of [[Spell My Name With an "S"|argument]], as it is the most widely recognized and makes the pronunciation obvious to English speakers.
----
Line 38:
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: One made out of red autumn leaves. Some fanartist noticed it resembles a crab and started drawing it as such, sparking endless 'crab' jokes about her.
* [[Jade
* [[Leitmotif]]: "A God That Loves People ~ Romantic Fall"
* [[Odd Job Gods]]: She is the goddess of ''dead leaves''.
Line 72:
::'''Hina Kagiyama'''
A curse goddess who can absorb misfortune. She's also known for [[
==== Tropes associated with Hina: ====
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]]: Despite what Akyuu claims.
* [[Brought to You By The Letter S]]: The squiggle on her dress is a stylized kanji 厄 ''(yaku)'', meaning "misfortune".
* [[Curse]]: Not deliberately, but...
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: She's a yakubyougami - a curse god who would normally spread misfortune and illness - but she absorbs misfortune and curses so they won't affect humans, and in ''Mountain of Faith'' she tries to drive away the protagonists so the youkai above won't harm them. She is said to [[Power Incontinence|leak misfortune]] if you stay too long with her though.
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: [[Word of God|ZUN said]] the design of her costume is supposed to be in this style.
* [[
* [[Leitmotif]]: "The Road of the Apotropaic God ~ Dark Road" and "The Dark Side of Fate".
* [[Physical God]]
* [[What Do You Mean
----
Line 114:
* [[School Swimsuit]]: Very common in her fanart.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Nitori is extremely shy around humans. When the heroines first encounter her, she runs off in shock before reappearing in [[Invisibility Cloak|optical camouflage]]. Akyuu thinks otherwise, claiming she's a racist who's bad at hiding it.
* [[Shy Blue
* [[Signature Move]]: Exteeending Aaarm, both in fanon and in canon. Describing it is pretty much the only part of her ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' profile that talks about her in specific instead of kappa in general.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: "Kawasiro" in Kunrei-Shiki romanization.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Cucumbers. Partly because Kappa traditionally like cucumbers. And partly due to [[IOSYS]]'s remix of her [[Leitmotif]], which [[Memetic Mutation|led to her being often shown]] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pepsi_cucumber.jpg cucumber-flavored Pepsi] and beer.
* [[Vague Age]]: One of the more extreme cases in fanon. Fan-artists just can't agree on how old she's supposed to appear.
Line 140:
* [[Ship Sinking]]: Averted. The revelation that there is some bad blood between Aya and Momiji has done nothing to slow down the tide of fanart portraying them as a close couple. In fact, it may have only made it even ''[[Up to Eleven|more]]'' popular, since Momiji can now be portrayed as a [[Tsundere]] toward Aya.
* [[Shogi]]: She specifically plays [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dai_shogi Dai Shogi] with the kappa according [[All There in the Manual|to her profile]].
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: K-S Romanization of her name - "Momizi Inubasiri".
* [[Super Senses]]: Like Aya, she has the power to see great distances, but she also possesses an excellent sense of smell. Oddly, no particular mention is made of super-hearing. Rather than use these powers to snoop on people for news, Momiji acts as the captain of Youkai Mountain's patrol guards, with soldiers hiding behind a waterfall. She also spies on the heroine and the goddess of the new shrine when they do battle, without being noticed by either.
* [[Sure Why Not]]: Much like with Daiyousei and Koakuma receiving fan-names, Momiji makes a cameo appearance in one panel of ''Oriental Sacred Place'' Chapter 1, looking exactly the way fanon imagines her, with wolf ears and detached sleeves. The artist for ''SaBND'' and ''OSP'' was a ''Touhou'' fan doing doujinshi long before being recruited for the official project.
* [[White
----
Line 187:
* [[Recurring Boss]]: After appearing as the stage five boss in ''Mountain of Faith'', she made a surprise appearance as the [[Bonus Boss|Bonus Midboss]] in ''Subterranean Animism''.
* [[Shout Out]]: Most of her spellcards are shout outs to miracles from various religions. For example, Moses's parting of the red sea, or the original Kamikaze that repelled the Mongol invasion of Japan.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: K-S Romanization of her last name - "Kotiya".
* [[Star Power]]: Some of her spellcards, like "Miracle "Mid-Day Supernova"" make use of this.
* [[Vague Age]]: Presumably a [[Joshikousei]], which makes her about the same age as Reimu or Marisa, if not slightly ''younger''. She hasn't been in enough games for us to know if she's [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]], but she probably won't be.
Line 215:
* [[One Man Industrial Revolution]]: Kanako has been trying to introduce advanced technology to Gensokyo (including ''cold fusion''), but she hasn't yet had much success.
* [[Physical God]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With Suwako. Kanako's the Blue Oni despite the colour of their clothes.
----
Line 244:
** [[Green Thumb]]: She can make trees spring up from the ground.
** [[Making a Splash]]: Since she's a frog.
* [[God
* [[High Altitude Battle]]: Suwako's last boss spell card in ''Hisoutensoku'' has you fighting her in a timed battle while falling down to earth.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Native Faith"
Line 250:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: [[Deadpan Snarker|Akyuu]] writes, "Unlike Kanako, I think the part of her that plays dumb is of poor quality."
* [[Physical God]]: ''Mountain of Faith'' is filled with goddesses.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With Kanako. Suwako's the Red Oni despite the colour of their clothes.
* [[Rings of Death]]
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Arguably. In ''MoF'', her sprite has thigh-highs, while her portrait has thigh-highs folded down to her knees.
Line 284:
::''Young Mistress of Bhava-Agra''
::'''Tenshi Hinanawi/[[Spell My Name With an "S"|Hinanai]]'''
Born as Chiko Hinanawi, she ascended alongside her parents when they became celestials, and chose to rename herself Tenshi. However, as she did not earn ascension herself she is considerably less enlightened than her peers, referred to as a delinquent celestial, quickly bored and frustrated with Bhava-Agra. This is what prompted her to cause chaos in Gensoukyou, having watched several of the incidents its inhabitants have caused and deciding they are lots of fun.
Line 308:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Chiko, her name when she was human, means "earth child," while Tenshi means "heavenly child."
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: About all she has in common with angels is the name and residence, really. That and the fact that if her name were written differently (天使 instead of 天子), it would mean "angel" in Japanese.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]:
** Her family name is more correctly rendered as "Hinanai" in modern Japanese. The official Japanese pronunciation retains the archaic kana ゐ ("wi"), as Tenshi was born long, long before it was legislated out of common usage.
** The Kanji in her given name can also be read as "Tenko". This has become another [[Fan Nickname]] for her and she is occasionally included in Ran's "Suppa Tenko" meme.
* [[Sword Plant]]: She does this to demonstrate her sword's powers in her pre-battle cutscene. And she does it to raise pillars of earth for her second-to-last boss spell card. Also part of her normal, playable moveset as a way to trigger earthquakes and such.
* [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: One of her alternate special moves, Sword of Fate. Not only does it always work (if it hits), but it also returns [[
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: As a result of Tenshi demanding you punish her in some of her quotes in ''SWR'', [[Flanderization|she has been portrayed]] as a ''masochist''.
* [[Weather Control Machine|Weather Control Artifact]]: Her weapon, the ''Hisou no Tsurugi'', has the power to alter the weather.
Line 349:
* [[Animal Motifs]]: She still has six buttons down the front of her dress for spider eyes, and her skirt poofs out and in again to look like a spider's abdomen with a yellow ribbon tied around it that makes her look like an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argiope_<!-- 28spider29 argiope spider]]. She was even on the cover of the game's demo CD hanging upside-down (a pose fans were annoyed she didn't demonstrate in-game). -->
* [[Animal Stereotypes]]: Completely averted, she's a friendly socialite.
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]]: She has the power to manipulate infectious diseases, but she'd never use it on someone for no reason. She's actually a pretty nice person.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: She's a [[Giant Spider]] youkai. ''Tsuchigumo'' are traditionally shapeshifters, so at least she has an excuse for looking like a cute girl.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "The Sealed-Away Youkai ~ Lost Place"
* [[Plaguemaster]]: Her claim to fame. [[Bad Powers, Good People|She doesn't like using it on people, though.]]
* [[Punny Name]]: ZUN commented in one interview that the name "Yamame" was appropriate for a spider because it could be written as "eight eyes".
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: Her spell card Small Thread "Kandata's Rope" in ''Double Spoiler'' has reached a level of notoriety for people who can't figure out what they're supposed to do.
Line 369:
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: While she's technically a hashihime, she's basically become the embodiment of jealousy.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: As of a cameo appearance in ''Wild and Horned Hermit'', [[Pointy Ears|the ears]] are [[Word of Dante|now canon]].
** Most fanon turned her into a [[Hair
* [[Ax Crazy]]: She attacks the heroines for no particular reason. In the Reimu + Yukari scenario she even admits so, [[Laughing Mad|while giggling]].
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: She acts bright and friendly while directly conversing with someone, but in her mind and behind their back she's silently cursing and resenting them.
Line 376:
* [[Driven By Envy]]: [[Captain Obvious|Well, duh.]]
* [[Emotion Eater]]: Eats jealousy.
* [[
* [[Fairy Tale]]: A few of her spell cards reference Japanese fairy tales like "The Tongue-Cut Sparrow" and "Grandfather Cherry Blossom". This might play into her [[Genre Savvy]] aspects.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Known in [[Image Boards|some circles]] as "Cave Alice," for her visual similarity to Alice Margatroid and for... well, living underground.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: She overhears Marisa and Alice bickering over whether the Underworld has floors like an RPG dungeon and butts in, to play along and mock Marisa. She apparently knows about RPG tropes, skyscrapers, and the [[Number of the Beast]].
{{quote| "You're now on floor B666. Welcome to the end of the underworld skyscraper."}}
* [[Green
* [[Hate Plague]]: The power of jealousy, as interpreted by most fanon.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Green Eyed Jealousy"
Line 396:
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: When flying, she curls up.
* [[Tsundere]]: How her jealousy is usually portrayed. "Y-you got me a present? To have money to buy something nice for me... I'm jealous."
* [[Visual Pun]]: The "Persian bridge princess" [[Stealth Pun]] noted above, and a literal [[Green
* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: Stage 1 of SA is fairly ordinary. Parsee is the first boss to use the sort of unusual, puzzle-like mechanics that character the rest of the game.
Line 418:
* [[Horned Humanoid]]: In traditional oni style, with a single horn.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mount Ooe"
* [[Shout Out]]: She fights without spilling a drop of sake, much like the character Johnathan Joestar fought without spilling a drop of wine from ''[[Jo
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: She can manipulate supernatural phenomena, which is too vague to know ''what'' it actually does, but given that almost ''everything'' in Gensoukyou is supernatural...
* [[Willfully Weak]]: She intentionally uses only a small amount of her power, more interested in having her first good fight with a human in centuries than actually winning.
Line 445:
* [[Hikkikomori]]: Since humans and other youkai hate her for being able to constantly read their minds, she has secluded herself in the Palace of the Earth Spirits, having no communication with anyone except her pets. Even within the Palace, she rarely leaves her room, spending her time reading and writing books. ''[[All in The Manual|Symposium of Post-Mysticism]]'' suggests that some of her books may have been published on the surface, under an anonymous label.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Satori Maiden ~ Third Eye"
* [[Luckily, My Powers Will Protect Me]]: Has a really bad habit of constantly talking about how she can read minds, and has no sense of [[Mind Over Manners]]. Perhaps if she stopped telling everyone how she could read their every thought - and that one, and especially that one - there would have been less antagonism. This is apparently a trait of the entire satori race.
* [[Not Good With People]]: Animals love her, because she can understand them, but humans and youkai are less thrilled with having their minds read all the time.
* [[Oh God, Did She Just Hear That?]]: In most scenarios, our heroines are just thinking about beating Satori up, which she finds rather off-putting, but is pretty much normal for them. She also catches Marisa thinking about what she's going to [[Sticky Fingers|steal from Satori's palace]] and shoos her off.
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Her mind reading is always on.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Mindreading.
Line 466:
* [[Animorphism]]: She is capable of shapeshifting into either a cat or a humanoid form.
* [[Bad Powers, Good People]]: Her job is to steal corpses and send them to Hell via her cart. However, she's regarded by Akyuu as an extremely friendly and outgoing, and is even interested in listening to the ghosts of the corpses.
* [[Catgirl]]: A [http://www.catgirls.org.uk/mythology/japan.html#kasha kasha]. Considered to be older and somewhat more mature than Chen.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
Line 474:
* [[Grim Reaper]]: Those blue will-o'-wisps floating beside her? [[Captain Ersatz|They look like]] [[Pokémon|Duskull]] [http://bulbapedia.bulbgarden.net/wiki/Duskull and Bulbapedia even notes] this design is a traditional Grim Reaper portrayal. Maybe they also work for Komachi?
* [[I Love the Dead]]: Fanon likes making [[Black Humor]] out of her "pretty looking corpses" line.
* [[In
* [[Japanese Pronouns]]: Like Cirno and Komachi, she also uses "Atai" for "I". Fandom can portray her in a naive or foolish light, but, like Komachi, "Atai" isn't held against her to the extent it is for Cirno.
* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]
Line 492:
::'''Utsuho Reiuji (Okuu)'''
A hell raven who manages the former Hell of Blazing Fires. Prior to the events of ''Subterranean Animism'', Utsuho was visited by Kanako and told to swallow the corpse of the sun god Yatagarasu, thus gaining the power of nuclear fusion. Kanako presumably wanted the power to bring electricity to Gensoukyou, but Utsuho instead goes mad from the immense power she gained, planning to torch Gensoukyou and turn it into hell on Earth, though she is currently using it to operate a power plant. She's based on a legend of a three-legged crow who prevented a monster from eating the sun. This being Gensoukyou, [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You|she was the one who ate the sun god]].
==== Tropes associated with Utsuho: ====
Line 514:
<!-- %%ILoveNuclearPower is about gaining superpowers from radiation. It does not apply to Okuu. Stop adding it in -->
* [[Hitbox Dissonance]]: This makes her a little bit easier than other final bosses because, despite the size of her projectiles, their hitboxes allow you to easily weave between them... even when it looks like you shouldn't. Case in point: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ3JxKr7gWE#t=06m12s this portion of her attack].
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: Her [[Pimped
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion"
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: In ''Hisoutensoku''. Slowest character in the game by far, and she can't attack from her dash unless you attack immediately from it. But when she hits, she hits ''hard''.
Line 524:
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: She wants to torch Gensoukyou and turn it into the new Hell. This being ''Touhou'', she gets better after a sound beating.
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Her powers make her effectively a living, breathing, walking, or flying, as the case may be, ''star''. Her spell cards, instead of arriving with the usual noise, are announced with ''a nuclear hazard symbol and a sounding klaxon''. And even if that doesn't make you panic, the sight of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQLIaZUOnBU miniature suns that cover half the screen] most definitely will.
* [[Pimped
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: She's a hell raven, though the Yatagarasu is traditionally supposed to be a crow. [[Fanon]] takes this in either direction.
Line 536:
** Many of her moves in ''Hisoutensoku'' are similar to [[Fist of the North Star|Souther's]], even including [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrgT9og49QQ a spell card], while some of her other moves bear a similarity to [[Mega Man X|X's attacks as well, most notably the Nova Strike]]. She also has two spell cards called [[Final Fantasy|"Giga Flare" and "Mega Flare"]], while that eye on her chest may be [[Lord of the Rings|Sauron's]].
** With all of the [[Just for Pun|nuclear-powered references]], [[The Wiki Rule]] notes that she has some connection to the Chernobyl, specifically [http://www.unknownexplorers.com/blackbirdofchernobyl.php The Black Bird of Chernobyl].
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: K-S Romanization of her last name - "Reiuzi".
* [[The Power of the Sun]]: Eating the sun god Yatagarasu gave her nuclear fusion sun powers.
* [[Touched By Vorlons]]
Line 568:
* [[Gravity Sucks]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted]], for Koishi Gravity Pushes - towards a danmaku wall of pure death.
* [[Hope Is Scary]]: While she was previously okay with having her mind sealed off from others, after meeting the [[Player Character]] Koishi starts to feel regretful.
* [[Invisible to Adults]]/[[Not
* [[Lack of Empathy]]: A rare non-villainous example.
* [[Laser
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Last Remote" and "Hartmann's Youkai Girl"
* [[Power Nullifier]]: She closed her third eye to abandon her mind-reading ability. Her closed third eye also [[Psychic Block Defense|nullifies Satori's power]]. Also inverted through the fact that she gained the ability to read the subconscious as well as nullifying her own power.
Line 622:
* [[Emotion Eater]]: Lives on human surprise.
* [[Everythings Better With Eggplants]]: Her umbrella has an eggplant motif.
* [[
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Although it seems to be unintentional.
* [[Harmless Villain]]: "Attacks" humans, but the greatest danger she poses is making people feel like a jerk by sulking after her efforts fail. Seriously. This is canon.
Line 654:
* [[And Then John Was a Zombie]]: Used to be a human, but spending all of her time with Unzan and being youkai-like turned her into a unique type of youkai.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: She is probably the biggest user to date of a specific variety of laser whose [[Hitbox Dissonance|wonky hitbox]] enrages certain experienced players.
* [[The Generic Girl]]: ZUN even notes that she's "basically just the hitbox for Unzan".
* [[Leitmotif]]: "The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl"
Line 701:
* [[Sailor Fuku]]: Wears the type of "sailor suit" the iconic Sailor Fuku is [[Older Than They Think|based on]].
* [[Serial Killer]]: Some of it is likely thanks to village gossip and/or Akyuu's fearmongering, but ''[[All There in the Manual|Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'' paints her as liable to kill anyone that gets near water while they're alone.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: K-S romanization - "Minamitu".
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: For the Buddhists.
Line 725:
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Failure Knight]]: She was so loyal to her duties as Bishamonten's avatar she wasn't present when Byakuren was dragged away and imprisoned. The regret stemming from this eventually motivates her to begin the quest for the Tobikura and put all her power into setting Byakuren free.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: This is her gimmick - every attack she uses involves lasers in some way. And they ''curve'' in midair. Plus there's just [[Beam Spam|so many of them]]. And she's got spells, like Buddhist Art "Most Valuable Vajra" that put the Non-Directonal Laser to shame, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYqvDet61f4#t=2m25 as shown here.] As it turns out, her ''real'' [[Weapon of Choice]] is not her spear, but the Bishamonten Pagoda she holds, which is also known as the Laser Pagoda. If you get too close within its range, it will ''turn you to ash''.
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: 'Shou' is generally a male name.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "The Tiger-Patterned Vaisravana"
Line 732:
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: It looks like tiger stripes!
* [[Species Surname]]: 'Tora' means tiger.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: K-S romanization - "Syou"
* [[Upgrade Artifact]]: The laser pagoda is more powerful than Shou herself and is the true source of the infamous lasers. At the very least it's powerful enough to boost Nazrin to a Stage 5 midboss.
Line 759:
* [[Detect Evil]]: Can apparently sense that Seiga is ridiculously evil.
* [[Final Boss]]
* [[Flower Motifs]] [[Frickin' Laser Beams|That Shoot Lasers]]: Her name [[Meaningful Name|means "white lotus"]], to boot.
* [[Hero Antagonist]]: Even among ''Touhou'''s general lack of evil characters, she bears special mention. Her goal is to bring peace and harmony to humans and youkai.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic Mind"
Line 770:
* [[Status Buff|Status Buffs]]: [[All There in the Manual|Her profile]] says Byakuren specialises in magic that enhances her physical abilities.
* [[Spell Book]]: Her "Sorcerer's Picture Scroll" is a magic construct she created using materials from Makai, containing the sutras she must recite to cast spells. It's at least somewhat intelligent, being able to recite spells by itself and prevent others from using it.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: K-S romanization - "Hiziri".
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: For religious purposes. She won't even eat meat due to the animals having been killed.
* [[Vain Sorceress]]: Magic of youth and to improve her physical abilities are her speciality. In fact they were, initially, the reason she protected youkai.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: She will voice her objections to the player character's behavior before the battle commences. What exactly her objections are will vary depending on the chosen character and scenario.
* [[Witch Species]]: Like Alice, this is what Byakuren became.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: See below. Byakuren wasn't the original intended final boss of UFO.
Line 819:
* [[Recurring Boss]]: {{spoiler|She's the midboss in stage 4 and 6, though she doesn't appear in her true form until the extra stage}}.
** {{spoiler|She's the Extra Stage Midboss of ''Ten Desires''.}}
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: She enjoyed messing around with Byakuren and the other girls, tagging along and interfering every so often because she thought it would be funny if they failed in their goal. In fact, {{spoiler|1=she attached "Seed[s] of Non-Identification" to the ship and the Tobikura fragments, making them appear as UFOs to the untrained eye}}. When she found out that their mission would help her as well, [[My God, What Have I Done?|she felt guilty about it]].
* [[Snakes Are Sexy]]: Her official art contains a snake.
* [[Shout Out]]: One of her spell cards in ''Double Spoiler'' makes danmaku in the shapes of [[Play Station|green triangles, red circles, pink squares, and blue X-s]].
Line 873:
* [[Leitmotif]]: Shares "The Youkai Mountain ~ Mysterious Mountain" with Aya.
* [[Pointy Ears]]: Likely unintentional again.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With Aya. Hatate's the red oni - she's [[Hot Blooded|fired up]] about beating Aya and has a more childish personality and manner of speech.
* [[The Rival]]: To Aya.
* [[Shout Out]]: Possibly yet another one to ''[[Jo
* [[Totally Radical]]: How her Nagoya dialect is rendered in English by some translators.
* [[Valley Girl]]: Her comments have been translated this way. Arguably a [[Woolseyism]] or rather, a mistake that caught on. With the release of the English patch it is now semi-official for the western fandom.
Line 930:
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Appears to assist Seiga in stage 4.
* [[Soulless Shell]]
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Not her, but her species name, largely due to it being originally Chinese. Kyonshi, Jiangshi, and Geung si are merely the romanizations you're most likely to come across.
* [[Two First Names]]: The kanji for it are odd, but Miyako is normally a given name.
* [[The Undead]]: A [[Jiangshi]], to be exact. It is noted that she's gaining more and more qualities attributed to [[Our Zombies Are Different|zombies]] these days because in the outside world people rarely tell stories about jiang-shi anymore, but zombies are popular, and complains about getting compared to them.
Line 961:
* [[Hair Decorations]]: While many other characters in this series have hair decorations, Seiga's hairpin is notable in that she can use it to pass through walls.
* [[Hermit Guru]]: She's a [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento:_Hermits hermit], like Kasen Ibara...
** [[Nun
* [[Intangible Man]]: Sort of. She possesses the power to pass through walls, but does it by causing parts of the walls to temporarily disappear using the Wall-Removing Chisel that she keeps in her hair.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Old Yuanxian."
Line 1,054:
* [[The Hermit]]: She at first offers to become the [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] for the human population of Gensokyo, but after being told that it's unnecessary, she decides to isolate herself from the world and continue her Taoist training.
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: She's a genderflipped [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Shotoku Prince Shoutoku].
** [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: Prince Shoutoku was already semi-legendary, but ''Ten Desires'' says he was a Taoist immortality-seeker who used Buddhism to control the masses. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|And was also a girl.]]
** [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: Though she's not exactly a villain, she's a much worse person than the historical figure.
** [[She Is the King]]: Apparently, Prince Shoutoku was actually female in the Touhou universe. Obviously this didn't stop her from being the crown prince, since Seiga still refers to her as such.
Line 1,062:
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: [[Boss Banter|"Playtime's over!"]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]: ''Toyosatomimi'' literally translates to "abundant, clever ears," referring to her ability.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Byakuren found Miko's mausoleum without being sure what it was, and built Myouren Temple over it to keep it sealed. This just succeeded in waking her up.
* [[Off
** However some fans have started to speculate that it might be intentional as a [[Shout Out]] to [[Jo
** Another theory is that the "thumb" we see is actually a pinky, which would make her anatomically correct.
* [[Sealed Badass in A Can]]
Line 1,070:
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: The ability to listen to ten people talking at once.
** [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: She can use it to hear the [[Title Drop|ten desires]] of a human, which lets her be [[The Omniscient]].
* [[Young Conqueror]]: Technically she already ruled Japan and was trying to stabilise it rather than take it over, but her methods fit this trope. She even briefly entertains the idea of [[Well
