Character Information
Temperament: Hatsu Bare
Hatsu Bare (a Touhou LW original) refers to blue skies on New Year's Day. This is an apt temperament for this Reimu, who is tasked with clearing the snow clouds from Gensokyo's skies. She's endowed with Wood Phase, which longs for spring, and Sun Essence, which shines through snowy weather. 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 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: Mainly capable of flight
The ability of Reimu Hakurei from the world with a never-ending winter (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially the same as our version of Reimu's ability. However, despite having this ability, this world's Reimu is yet to resolve the Spring Snow Incident. It seems this Reimu isn't strong enough to defeat Yuyuko. (Often times she gets blasted away before even reaching Yuyuko.) It's believed her shortcomings are the same as the Reimu who can't resolve the Scarlet Mist Incident. However, what separates this incident from the Scarlet Mist Incident is that, if this one doesn't get resolved, Yuyuko's wish will come true, leading to disaster. However, even though this incident has been prolonged, nothing of the sort has occurred. Instead, spring continues to gather in the Netherworld indefinitely, and Gensokyo continues to be trapped in winter. The flow of seasons hasn't halted, but the next season never seems to arrive, much like how Achilles can never quite catch up to the tortoise. The Netherworld inches closer to a perfect spring, while Gensokyo descends toward a perfect winter, with neither ever completing their journey. It can be said the entire universe is in this state of division. Yuyuko represents the boundary between life and death, and she herself has come to play a role in supporting this division between the Netherworld and Gensokyo. Reimu's Spirit Sign loadout includes Fantasy Seals, which she uses as bombs, and two types of homing ofuda. It's thought Reimu uses these items as a result of her desire to defeat her opponents with absolute certainty. But when it comes to battling Yuyuko, Reimu believes she still lacks firepower. There's only one way to see if other items are more effective, and that's to try them for real. Then again, perhaps using items she's used to is still her best bet...
Attacks
Homing Amulet (Cherry Blossom)
The Spread Shot of Reimu Hakurei from the world with a never-ending winter. In true shrine maiden fashion, she attacks her enemies with homing ofuda. These familiar ofuda are synonymous with Reimu and are probably her most fired. Some people may question why they automatically lock onto their target and fly toward them, but this effect is something often seen in games and old movies. It's hardly suspicious that a shrine maiden of Gensokyo can pull off the same trick.

Hakurei Amulet (Cherry Blossom)
The Focus Shot of Reimu Hakurei from the world with a never-ending winter. In true shrine maiden fashion, she attacks her enemies with giant, perfectly square ofuda that look like cushions. As well as the traditional rectangular-shaped ofuda, Reimu can often be seen firing square ones too. Perhaps square ofuda are thought of as rare, but they're sometimes made that way depending on the dimensions of the seal inscribed on them. In fact, square ofuda are super handy since they fly straight. Plus, it's easy to tell when they hit their target.

Spirit Sign: Fantasy Seal -Spread-
A Spell Card of Reimu Hakurei from the world with a never-ending winter. She fires bullets of pure light. Reimu can only use this Spell Card because of her honest nature.

Spirit Sign: Fantasy Seal -Concentrate-
A Spell Card of Reimu Hakurei from the world with a never-ending winter. She fires bullets of light that crash into her target. Reimu can only use this Spell Card because exterminating youkai is her profession. Someone's stolen spring from Gensokyo, which means it's up to Reimu to steal it back. All she has to do is dodge their bullets, and hope she has enough Spell Cards remaining to defeat them.

Spring-Beckoning Fantasy Nature
The Last Word of Reimu Hakurei from the world with a never-ending winter (a Touhou LW original). She prays for spring's return in this attack. Without spring, the cherry blossoms in Hakurei Shrine won't bloom, which means no cherry blossom viewing parties. But right now, that's the least of Reimu's concerns. If spring never comes, neither will summer or autumn. In other words, Gensokyo will be left to shiver beneath the snows forever. The people in the human village can only take so much. They beg Reimu to reclaim spring.
