Character Information

Temperament: Cruithne

Cruithne (a Touhou LW original) refers to one of the Atten asteroids―asteroids with orbits that bring them into proximity with Earth. It is similar to the moon but also completely different, which is fitting for the mysterious Yorihime of the Capital. Her temperament is not limited to the usual archetypes because the colossal system of the Capital is altering it. This temperament is specialized to solely resist Earth Phase.

Ability/Backstory: Capable of summoning divine spirits (Concealed)

The ability of the secret Watatsuki no Yorihime. Her ability doesn't appear to be any different from the usual Yorihime, but it may have been redeveloped with different underlying principles. It seems the purpose for this varies depending on which world she is assigned to. However, the primary cause is unknown and requires further investigation. Gunsword Denjimaru: An experimental weapon only used by this Yorihime from the Capital. Her original sword was improved by the Capital's super-science to shoot Divine Bullets as a gunsword. She utilizes the power of divine spirits by making a part of them (their bunrei) possess the Divine Bullets, which she then fires. It can, of course, also be used as a sword, where the blade functions as an antenna to receive the divine spirits. She possesses multiple exact replica gunswords, which she can use in combination to unleash various divine spirit sword techniques. The Divine Bullets and blades are most likely made out of Izanagi Objects or something similar. Also, Yorihime was the one who named this gunsword Denjimaru, meaning electromagnetic sword, after it was improved. The name Denjimaru also applies to all the replicas. It seems that this Yorihime likes to give names to her weapons. Old-Fashioned Notebook (Enhanced Model/Pro MAX): A support device used by this Yorihime from the Capital. All of the data from her previous notebook has been transferred onto this high-tech multi-functional device which utilizes the Capital's super science. It houses a digital brain and could even be considered Yorihime's partner as it assists her in so many ways. It assists decision-making in battle, communication, assignment of tasks, and every aspect of her daily life... She cannot live without it, which is why Yorihime grows anxious when she does not have the notebook on her person. Yorihime has been witnessed on multiple occasions conversing with the device's voice user interface when she thinks nobody is around.

Attacks

Divine Bullets

The Spread Shot of Watatsuki no Yorihime from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She fires bullets that harbor divine spirits created by the super-science of the Capital. The ammunition specially designed to work with Yorihime's gunswords are called Divine Bullets. A word for bullet in Japanese is "tama" which is also a homophone for the words for soul and gemstone. Thus, it is thought that these bullets have a connection with a certain jewelry-crafting god―They may even be a type of Izanagi Object. Enshrining summoned divine spirits within bullets that are then shot may seem sacrilegious at first glance, but these divine spirits are not expended in this process as they are only bunrei. However, since the divine spirits cannot act as sprits and are instead always limited to a single function, they are not omnipotent.

Bullets
  • Divine Spirit Bullet - Bunrei
  • Divine Spirit Bullet - Single Spirit
  • Divine Spirit Bullet - Tranquil Soul
  • Divine Spirit Bullet - Lucky Soul
  • Divine Spirit Bullet - Wondrous Soul
  • Divine Spirit Bullet - Wild Soul
Double-Blade

The Focus Shot of Watatsuki no Yorihime from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with her gunswords in double-blade mode. Yorihime carries multiple gunblades, which she switches between or combines together, depending on what the situation demands. Double-blade mode is when two gunblades are connected at the hilt to create a single weapon with a blade at each end. It is really cool but also makes the wielder look like a villain.

Bullets
  • Legendary Sword Futsu no Mitama
  • Legendary Sword Kamudo
  • Legendary Sword Ikutachi
  • Legendary Sword Ame no Ohabari
  • Legendary Sword Ame no Habakiri
  • Legendary Sword Kusanagi
Divine Spirit: Hono-Ikazuchi

A Spell Card of Watatsuki no Yorihime from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She summons the divine spirit of Hono-Ikazuchi and attacks with their power. Hono-Ikazuchi is the god of fire thunder, one of the eight gods of thunder. She previously used this technique against Sakuya when she visited the moon, but it seems Yorihime has now altered it to make it legal under the Spell Card Rules. This thundering technique makes use of the relationship between Phases. First, lightning descends from rain clouds as water nourishes wood, then flames erupt from this lightning as wood feeds fire. This attack was also particularly effective against Sakuya since fire refines metal.

Bullets
  • Hono-Ikazuchi's Flames
  • Ou-Ikazuchi's Flames
  • Kuro-Ikazuchi's Flames
  • Saku-Ikazuchi's Thunder
  • Waka-Ikazuchi & Tsuchi-Ikazuchi's Thunder
  • Naru-Ikazuchi & Fusu-Ikazuchi's Thunder
Divine Spirit: Amatsu-Mikaboshi

A Spell Card of Watatsuki no Yorihime from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She summons the divine spirit of Amatsu-Mikaboshi and attacks with their power. Amatsu-Mikaboshi is a god of the stars. She previously used this technique against Marisa when she visited the moon, but it seems Yorihime has now altered it to make it legal under the Spell Card Rules. According to Yorihime, this attack displays the true light of the stars uninhibited by the atmosphere, which looks like infinite stars that continually accelerate.

Bullets
  • Chinese Constellation: Three Stars
  • Chinese Constellation: Military Well
  • Chinese Constellation: Excrement
  • Chinese Constellation: Turtle Beak
  • Chinese Constellation: Monster Deity
  • Chinese Constellation: Seat Flags
Kannagi - Warrior Shrine Maiden

The Last Word of Watatsuki no Yorihime from the Capital (a Touhou LW original). She summons divine spirits into her Divine Bullets and her own body to unleash a flurry of attacks from various gods. It could be said that this technique makes full use of Yorihime's nature as a kind of shrine maiden. Swords are often thought of as vessels for gods, so perhaps her gunswords are the same. Her dancelike swordsmanship and marksmanship are reminiscent of a shrine maiden's dance when they channel spirits.

Bullets
  • Hands of Ookuninushi & Futsunushi
  • Hand of Umashimaji
  • Hand of Yamato Takeru
  • Hand of Takehaya Susanoo
  • Hands of Takeminakata & Takemikazuchi
  • Heads of Yamata no Orochi
