Character Information

Temperament: Hiyori

Hiyori (a Touhou LW original) refers to clear and pleasant weather, as well as a day that is good for doing a specific kind of thing. This temperament is a perfect match for the moody and whimsical Chen. Chen is endowed with Fire Phase, from her wide range of emotions, and Star Essence, from her open personality. 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 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 using youjutsu

Chen is a shikigami that lives on the Youkai Mountain. She is a bakeneko possessed by a kishin. That gives her more youkai power than a regular bakeneko, which is probably why she can use youjutsu. Her youjutsu may also be why she can move faster than the eye can see. While it is not an unusual ability for a youkai, she is growing every day and is still getting stronger... Or she should be, anyway.

Attacks

Little Kitty Ears

Chen's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots out bullets in a triangular pattern―just like cat ears. Ran told her to train to create a simple shot, so Chen worked hard to come up with this shot on her own. She really did her best.

Bullets
  • Kitty-Ear Boomerang
  • Kitty-Ear Boomerang
  • Little-Ear Boomerang

Lucky Cat Paw

Chen's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). Black cats are often said to be unlucky, but they are actually considered to be omens of good fortune in some parts of the world. It is unclear what kind of luck Chen's paw might bring, but in any case, it is useful when having battles of bullets with fairies.

Bullets
  • Lucky Claw
  • Anti-Fairy Playtime
  • Return Claw

Hermit Sign: Fenghuang Egg

Chen's Spell Card. She throws eggs of the fenghuang―the Chinese phoenix―at her target. Fenghuang are the top of the sacred birds, so throwing their eggs is definitely not OK (if the eggs are real, that is). If you are going to try this bullet hell attack, you should be prepared for the wrath of the fenghuang.

Bullets
  • Egg
  • Yuanchu Egg
  • Yuezhou Egg
  • Fenghuang Egg
  • Honghu Egg
  • Luan Egg
Oni Sign: Blue Oni, Red Oni

Chen's Spell Card. She borrows the power of two oni to shoot two colors of light bullets. These two oni are actually Zenki and Goki, the oni that Ran borrows power from, and Zenki and Goki are actually Yukari's shikigami... They probably see a lot of interesting things to report back to their mistress.

Bullets
  • Red Oni Orb
  • Blue Oni Orb
  • Red Oni Orb
  • Blue Oni Orb
  • Red Oni Orb
  • Blue Oni Orb
Requiem of Tenyuuji

Chen's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This is a bullet hell attack that Chen based on a famous legend surrounding a bakeneko, a type of youkai cat. In the legend, a cat licked the blood of a dying old woman and turned into a bakeneko after taking on the old woman's grudge. It took her a while because she needed Ran and Yukari to read her the story many times. Thanks to the efforts of her exhausted mistresses, Chen was finally able to attain the Last Word she so desired.

Bullets
  • Wild Claw
  • Grudge Claw
