Character Information

Temperament: Lenticular Cloud

Lenticular Cloud (a Touhou LW original) refers to a lens or saucer-shaped cloud formed by moist air flowing up a mountain. This is an apt temperament for a youkai monk who hid away from the world. Byakuren is endowed with Fire Phase, with her passion in preaching for human-youkai equality, and Sun Essence, as she respects the dharma. The formless and passionate Fire Phase resists Wood Phase, because wood feeds fire, but it is weak to Water Phase, because water dampens fire. The alluring and arrogant Sun Essence resists the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence.

Ability/Backstory: Capable of using magic (specializing in increasing physical ability)

The ability of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship. It is thought to be fundamentally the same as our version of Byakuren's ability. The youkai monk, Byakuren Hijiri, has long been sealed away in an area of Makai called Hokkai (also known as dharmadhatu or the realm of truth). After her seal was removed, she was supposed to set up Myouren Temple near the Human Village in Gensokyo, but this Byakuren hasn't done that yet. Our Byakuren was not initially hostile toward Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Sanae Kochiya, who helped bring her back. In fact, she was friendly and grateful that they broke the seal that bound her. However, when she spoke to them, she realized that humans are still as foolish as ever and her attitude changed to exasperated fury. Byakuren's memories are haunted by humans who detest and exterminate youkai out of fear, so seeing that they are still the same awoke a feeling of anger and terror within her. Her fury is eventually quelled, and she has a change of heart after her battle of bullets with Reimu and the others... But it seems this has not yet happened to the Byakuren of this world, as she is still continuing her long, drawn-out fight. There are many mysteries surrounding what kind of state Byakuren was in when she was sealed away. However, the Byakuren of this world seems to have lived a decent enough life in the remote region of Makai, even though she was sealed there. Hokkai is a place shrouded in dense miasma and is said to be a rural region of Makai. But that did not stop her from setting up a home and continuing her training while waiting for the day when she would eventually be free. It is quite likely that some denizens of Makai and the Makai god participated in her training. This was when she created her Sorcerer's Sutra Scroll magic item, and it can be assumed that Byakuren's body was slowly and steadily replaced with materials from Makai. She truly is a great magician.

Attacks

Resurrecting Light of Dharma

The Spread Shot of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship (a Touhou LW original). The light of this attack heralds the rebirth of the great magician. This dark light is truly magical in how it contrasts with the sun of Makai, which illuminates Hokkai. Byakuren is a monk who sides with youkai and gave up her own humanity to become a youkai... Only by embracing the philosophy that humans and youkai are equal can her duality be free from contradiction.

The halo that appears behind her blatantly shows that she has received the blessing of a divine being. This light could even be from the Buddha, considering how bright it is... Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that she is an ally to humans. How terrifying.

Great Magic: Devil's Recitation

A Spell Card of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship. This attack is reminiscent of a certain demonic god. Apparently, there is a god that created Makai who resides within Makai. Perhaps Byakuren learned this attack from that Makai god... But where did this information come from in the first place?

Superhuman: Byakuren Hijiri

A Spell Card of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship. She attacks by moving at super high speed with her astounding physical prowess.

She truly is a being that transcends humanity, worthy of being called a superhuman.

Bullets
  • Superhuman Speed
  • Sorcerer Speed
  • Magician Speed
  • Demonic Chief Priest Speed
  • Great Acharya Speed
  • Great Magician Speed
Mantra of Truth

The Last Word of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by unleashing all the light of dharma that she possesses. It is assumed that the light of dharma collected by her Sorcerer's Sutra Scroll is released in the form of lasers and other types of bullets. Mantras are secret incantations that represent the truth. In terms of magic, they are the words that make up the world, kind of like a programming language. The more accurately a mantra is chanted, the more energy is generated. It is truly a weaponized archaic smile that simultaneously bestows salvation and ruin. Perhaps this attack evolved into her Last Word of the future, Angirasa Veda.

Bullets
  • Mantra of Vairocana
  • Mantra of Ratnasambhava
  • Mantra of Suryaprabha
  • Mantra of Alavaka
  • Mantra of Agni
