== 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 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_romanizationshiki 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 77:
 
* [[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.
Line 107:
* [[Informed Ability]]: She's supposedly very shy, but when she does talk to the heroine, she doesn't flee any further, helpfully warns them of the dangers up ahead, and is actually rather talkative...
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Apparently looks down on humans and other youkai, and is bad at hiding it.
* [[Invisibility Cloak]]: [[Schizo -Tech|Optical Camouflage]], actually. It tends to short out on her, though.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "The Gensokyo the Gods Loved" and "Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's 'Kappa' ~ Candid Friend"
* [[Making a Splash]]: Her ability is manipulation of water. Tends to be overshadowed by SCIENCE!, though.
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: One of the few characters that ZUN draws with noticeable breasts, emphasized by the straps crossing her chest with a key hanging from them.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Nerdy kappa who can create [[Schizo -Tech]].
* [[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.
Line 117:
* [[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_cucumberPepsi 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 139:
* [[OC Stand In]]: Lack of in-game dialogue and portrait art caused her physical appearance and personality to vary greatly early on. Both have been fairly standardized by now, though.
* [[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|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.
Line 186:
* [[Physical God]]: She is both fully god and fully human at the same time. This is known as an Arahitogami, and happens to be what the Emperor of Japan used to be considered.
* [[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.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|What Kind of Lame Power is Creating Miracles, Anyway?]]: The [[Mundane Utility]] she realizes after moving to Gensokyo.
 
----
Line 213:
* [[Leitmotif]]: "The Venerable Ancient Battlefield ~ Suwa Foughten Field"
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: A remixed version of Suwa Foughten Field is used as the Game Over music from ''Mountain of Faith'' onward. Fitting.
* [[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 276:
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: Literally.
* [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: Whenever she uses some attacks, she strikes a pose similar to ''[[Great Mazinger]]'''s Thunder Break attack.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: ''Iku'' can also mean "to go". It also is what a Japanese woman typically [[The Immodest Orgasm|shouts]] as she reaches climax in most hentai productions. [[Ecchi|Raunchy jokes]] used to be commonplace.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Her scarf can turn into a drill.
Line 347:
==== Tropes associated with Yamame: ====
 
* [[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_%28spider%29:Argiope chr(28)spiderchr(29)|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.
Line 392:
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: [[That One Boss|And how!]]
* [[Stealth Pun]]: She's a Persian (''hashihito'') bridge princess (''hashihime''). ZUN stated in an interview that this [[Visual Pun|influenced her design]], and the Marisa + Patchouli dialogue includes a joke about it.
* [[That Makes Me Feel Angry|That Makes Me Feel Jealous]]: Carried to [[Memetic Mutation|memetic extent]] by fandom with the [[Pokémon -Speak|"paru paru paru"]] meme.
* [[Troll Bridge]]: Sometimes taken [[Our Trolls Are Different|literally]] by [[Sadly Mythtaken|confused Western fans]].
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: When flying, she curls up.
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 Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'' and has a star on her horn like Johnathan has the star birthmark. ZUN himself has even outright said he wants to make her seem awesome like JoJo.
* [[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 450:
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Her mind reading is always on.
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Mindreading.
* [[Species Surname|Species Given Name]]: Satori is a... [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Satori_:Satori (folklore) |satori]].
* [[Tareme Eyes]]: Her eyes are exceptionally droopy compared to the rest of the ''Touhou'' characters. Some fans picture her with [[Tsurime Eyes]] in fanarts, though.
* [[Technical Pacifist]]
Line 478:
* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Corpse Voyage ~ Be of good cheer!"
* [[Multiple -Tailed Beast]]
* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: Some of Rin's spell cards feature [[Implacable Man|implacable]] [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|zombie fairies]] that follow the player around while shooting bullets. This can further complicate things if you're using a character/partner setup with [[Roboteching|homing projectiles]]. ''The Grimoire of Marisa'' claims they're actually just normal fairies done up as zombies, though. ''Double Spoiler'' further suggests that the fairies are only pretending to be zombies.
* [[Number of the Beast]]: Photographing Rin in cat form in ''Double Spoiler'' gets you "Cat Bonus: + 666".
Line 484:
* [[Stealth Pun]]: She has a wheelbarrow, or "cat cart" in Japanese.
* [[Unusual Ears]]: As seen in her official portrait, Orin has both human ears ''and'' cat ears.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Rin's stated ability - the power to carry off corpses. And from the looks of things she just uses a wheelbarrow anyway. A source of [[Fridge Horror]] when you realize that she is carrying off the soul along with the corpse, which will be used to fuel the former Hell of Blazing Fires.
 
----
Line 521:
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Controls nuclear fusion, possesses the power of the stars themselves, and of a threat level comparable with Flandre or even Yukari. With the help of the kappa, she provides free electricity to the denizens of Gensoukyou. Although for most of them electricity is just as miraculous as magic would be in the outside world. As a matter of fact Kanako tries to exploit this to gather more believers to the Moria shrine. However, nobody is even complaining, because she also provides the fires to the hot springs.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Nuclear-powered [[I'm a Humanitarian|corpse eating]] [[Crows and Ravens|hell raven]] [[Cute Monster Girl|monster girl]].
* [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]]: She breaks it, and then some. [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster:Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster|Recent events]] appear to have [http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=582974 turned her entire character] to an outright [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]].
* [[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.
Line 528:
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: She's a hell raven, though the Yatagarasu is traditionally supposed to be a crow. [[Fanon]] takes this in either direction.
* [[Readings Are Off the Scale]]: Akyuu is normally able to define the friendliness and power of every character she meets. However, when she meets Utsuho, she defines ''both cases'' as "Unknown".
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: More or less universal in fanart, though her in-game portraits are somewhat ambiguous.
* [[Self Fanservice]]: ZUN's original drawing gave her a dumpy appearance with ridiculous clothes, like his art usually does for all of his characters. However, after fanartists hit upon giving her a tall, athletic build, her long hair, cape, Yatagarasu eye and "three legs" started looking amazingly [[Badass]].
** Utsuho is frequently drawn in fanart <ref>This is possibly canonical, as one of the endings of ''Subterranean Animism'' features her without her "third leg", and she gets it back in time for ''Hisoutensoku'', which suggests it's removable.</ref> and legs. Even when she is drawn with her Yatagarasu attributes, the concrete encasing her right foot is often interpreted as a gray ruffled legwarmer and the Yatagarasu eye fits neatly between her [[Boobs of Steel|often rather ample breasts]].
** The concrete on her right foot takes different forms in fanart. Sometimes it's a vaguely foot-shaped lump of concrete, sometimes it's a knee boot, sometimes, it's made out of metal plates...
** Also ''[[Darker and Edgier|inverted]]'' on occasion, the eye of Yatagarasu depicted as fused into her chest, with freaky scar tissue surrounding it.
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** 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].
Line 627:
* [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: She has "the power to surprise people", and she's not even very good at it. Then you discover that {{spoiler|she's the extra stage midboss}}. Surprise!
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Beware of the Umbrella Left There Forever"
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Since she's an umbrella ghost or [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Karakasa |karakasa]], which are usually depicted as being one-eyed, this is intentional. Her blue hair, blue clothes and one blue eye makes her red eye stand out, giving her the effect of only having one eye.
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]:
** The demo sets Kogasa up to be a character with a seemingly weak special power -- the power to surprise people -- and appears as an early stage boss. Then, in the full game, she {{spoiler|appears as an Extra stage midboss}}. Her portrait in her second appearance even has "Surprise~" written above her in Japanese.
Line 636:
* [[Poke the Poodle]]: She only "attacks" humans to surprise them. As her skills at frightening people aren't good, she trains by researching classic ghost stories.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: Surprise, she's {{spoiler|the extra stage midboss! [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Imagine the looks on the faces of the fans that teased her for her power before.]] She's also the mid-boss of Stage 3 in Ten Desires.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** A couple of her spell cards are named after games in the ''[[Bubble Bobble (Video Game)|Bubble Bobble]]'' series.
** And of course, [[The Wizard of Oz (Film)|Over the Rainbow]].
Line 711:
::'''Shou Toramaru'''
 
An "honest and straighforward" [[Youkai]] in the form of a tiger representing good fortune who was turned into an avatar of [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaisravana |Vaisravana/Bishamonten]] through the intercession of Byakuren. She sought the fragments of the Tobikura and the pagoda of Bishamonten to finally release Byakuren.
 
==== Tropes associated with Shou: ====
Line 792:
* [[Public Domain Character]] / [[Historical Domain Character]]
* [[Self Fanservice]]: Myouren's appearance is never described in any canon source, but most fanart depicts him as a [[Bishounen]] with the same [[Multicolored Hair]] as his sister. Given that he was a Buddhist monk, it's more likely that he would have a completely shaved head.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Myouren is a reference to a famous Buddhist monk who was the star of 12th-century tales such as the ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Shigisan-engi |Shigisan-engi]].'' Byakuren may be a shout-out to the unnamed Buddhist priestess mentioned in the story.
 
----
Line 821:
* [[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]].
* [[Species Surname|Species Given Name]]: As you would expect, she's a nue - a Japanese chimera. And not just a nue, she's ''the'' nue, the one from the legends.
* [[Urban Legends]]: What most of her ''Double Spoiler'' spell cards are based on.
Line 835:
::'''Unnamed Giant Catfish'''
 
A [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Big Freaking Catfish]] that appears as the final boss of Hong Meiling's story as an avatar of the "Taisui Xingjun", and Hong Meiling believes it is about to attack Gensoukyou. A likely referece to the belief that [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Namazu_%28Japanese_mythology%29:Namazu chr(28)Japanese mythologychr(29)|a giant catfish causes earthquakes]] in Japanese mythology.
 
==== Tropes associated with the catfish: ====
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 Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]''. With her spirit photography and heavy purple theme in clothing Hatate is reminiscent of Joseph Joestar.
* [[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.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Her spirit photography works by punching in keywords and getting photos that match said keywords. Beyond the unfortunate similarities to Google Image Search, relying on it means that by that she can only start writing articles after they've already been reported on, which is a problem for a member of a journalist caste.
 
 
Line 894:
==== Tropes associated with Kyouko: ====
 
* [[A Little Something We Call "Rock and Roll"]]: According to ''Symposium of Post-mysticism'' she somehow learned what "punk rock" is and [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru_Newspaper_1 started holding concerts] (with Mystia on guitar).
* [[Catch Phrase]]: The fandom gave her several catchphrases, usually in the form of exclamations. She has "Yahoo!"[[hottip:*:Comes from her description in the [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Kyouko#Ten_Desires_-_omake.txt demo's read-me], "Ohayou Gozaimasu!"<ref>"Good Morning!"</ref> and "Gyate Gyate"[[hottip:*:It was rendered in one of her portrait sprites as "ぎゃーてー ぎゃーてー". Beginning part of the mantra in the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Sutra:Heart Sutra|Heart Sutra.]]
* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Youkai Girl at the Gate"
Line 1,020:
* [[Pyromaniac]]: Sort of. She sets fire to things that scare her.
* [[Together in Death]]: [[Faux Death]]; and only sort of. She underwent the shikaisen process before Miko did to see if it was safe.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: The manipulation of ''feng shui''? Making it either better or worse (depends on how you look at it) is that she's not actually using feng shui; it's her name for the mashup of shintou and taoist magic that she uses.
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: In translation, to reflect her usage of a very archaic dialect of Japanese.
 
Line 1,030:
::'''Toyosatomimi no Miko'''
 
A former ruler of Japan, known in modern times as the legendary saint [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Shotoku:Prince Shotoku|Prince Shoutoku]] (apparently [[She Is the King|the part about her gender]] got lost over time). She publicly advanced Buddhism, and was highly influential in spreading it throughout the country, but she only used it to control the masses. In secret she studied Taoism under Seiga in an attempt to gain immortality. When her own research began to destroy her health, she performed a secret ritual on herself that was designed to put her in a state of suspended animation and then be revived later as a shikaisen. However, she was thwarted by her own manipulations: Buddhist monks placed seals on her mausoleum which prevented her resurrection. She remained sealed until the modern day, when people began to deny her existence. This caused her mausoleum to be moved to Gensokyo, allowing her resurrection to be completed.
 
==== Tropes associated with Miko: ====
Line 1,053:
* [[Headphones Equal Isolation|Earmuffs Equal Isolation]]: Invoked of sorts. She wears them so she doesn't listen in onto every conversation around her without wanting to.
* [[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 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.
Line 1,064:
* [[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-Model]]: Her portrait in the game gives her two right hands.
** However some fans have started to speculate that it might be intentional as a [[Shout -Out]] to [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]] where J. Geil has two right hands.
** Another theory is that the "thumb" we see is actually a pinky, which would make her anatomically correct.
* [[Sealed Badass in A Can]]
* [[Title Drop]]: Her ultimate spell is named "Stars Falling on the Divine Spirit Mausoleum." "Eastern Divine Spirit Mausoleum" being the Japanese name of ''Ten Desires''.
* [[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-Intentioned Extremist|taking over Gensokyo in order to protect its human population]].
Line 1,089:
* [[The Don]]: She has some elements of this, being the big boss of the tanuki of Sado island who drove away the foxes. The fact that she's a moneylender doesn't help.
* [[Doppleganger Attack]]: For her survival card, she generates two shikigami copies of herself. Those copies eventually summon two copies of ''themselves'' each, and then two ''more'' later on, so that by the end of the spell, you're facing down ten copies of Mamizou.
* [[Expecting Someone Taller]]: When the heroines heard that the youkai were calling a trump card against the resurrected saint, they were expecting some of the more fearsome sounding monsters of Japanese lore like the giant [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Gashadokuro |Gashadokuro]]. A tanuki wasn't exactly what they had in mind. Marisa, [[Deadpan Snarker|being Marisa]], couldn't resist mocking her on this.
{{quote| '''Marisa:''' Sure, but you're still a tanuki, right? The kind that drums on their bellies on the night of the full moon, right?}}
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Doesn't like foxes. There were no foxes where she used to live, but her profile says that she may end up causing trouble with the foxes that live in Gensokyo, like Ran. Needless to say, she gets quite a bit of [[Foe Yay]] with Ran in fanart. Despite her hatred of foxes, though, she has nothing against humans; her profile says that she likes to play tricks on them occasionally, but she would also lend money to the poor and was able to live amongst them easily in her hometown of Sado.
