Character Information
Temperament: Fuuryoku Zero
Fuuryoku Zero (a Touhou LW original) refers to a wind that blows between 0.0 to 1.4 meters per second. An apt temperament for Sanae Kochiya as a wind priestess who quells the wind. Sanae is endowed with Wood Phase, as a human of wind, and Star Essence, shown in her Moriya rituals. The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood. The diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of causing miracles to occur
The ability of Sanae Kochiya from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain. It is essentially the same as our version of Sanae's ability. However, the Sanae of this world may be involved in the cause of the prolonged incident of the mountain gods. The incident was supposed to be resolved quickly due to the following factors: - Sanae and Moriya Shrine realized that they were overconfident and underestimated the dwellers of Gensokyo and that they could not seize control of Gensokyo's faith as easily as they first thought. - Everyone realized that it would be mutually beneficial for a new god to reside on the Youkai Mountain because the lack of a ruling god was causing the mountain's power to decline. Thus, one could hypothesize that the prolonged incident in this Sanae's world is due to a conflict of interest between Moriya Shrine and the humans and youkai of Gensokyo. This is probably a world where Moriya Shrine continues to choose the path of confrontation with the Youkai Mountain and Hakurei Shrine because they believe the following to be true. - Moriya Shrine's confidence is justified as they have sufficient power. (They have a realistic chance of seizing control of faith in Gensokyo.) - It is better to control the Youkai Mountain by force. (Exterminating youkai is more efficient than cooperating.) But what is different about this Moriya Shrine that made such a lunatic decision compared to the Moriya Shrines of other worlds? Maybe the clue lies in how Moriya Shrine is famous for its knowledge of the outside world's science and technology...

According to records, this divine wind has performed miracles. Hence, the Moriya Shrine has been worshiped by people in the outside world, and wind priestesses have probably been worshiped as living gods.

Grand Moriya Summon - Wind of Faith

It is thought that Moriya Shrine was able to enter Gensokyo because Kanako carried out a plan to relocate to Gensokyo. But is it normal for the gods of the outside world to know of Gensokyo's existence...? Perhaps someone led them there. Further investigation is required to uncover this mystery. You would think that more gods would have come to Gensokyo if all the gods know about it...
