No Name, No Life
The usual outfit of Junko, who has almost reached the end. Her purification crystals are her few remaining lucid memories.

Biryuu-un (a Touhou LW original) refers to clouds whose rain evaporates before reaching the ground. This is the temperament of Junko, who leads a life of eternal repetition as she searches for a way to resolve the Lost Word Incident. Junko's temperament has been re-purified. Its origins contain neither Phase nor Essence, only a singular emptiness.
The ability of Junko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Junko completely lost this ability due to a Lost Word. She is currently regaining it little by little, though not through restoring or replicating her old ability, but with a newly constructed original ability that formed a core to build upon. She has continued to travel across worlds to try and end the Lost Word Incident. There was undoubtedly a period of time where it was believed that Junko could have used her purification ability to cause the Lost Word Incident. But it seems that theory was wrong. After all, if Junko was able to cause the incident, there's no way she would've fallen victim to it... Junko has the power to create gods through purification... but there are still many mysteries surrounding this process. The following text explores the topic of purification, including some wild speculation on the matter. Purification entails a return to origin. As a concept, object, or being's purification progresses, it regresses further and further toward its original state. Structures built on order are dismantled into their fundamental components. It's the equivalent of matter being separated into atoms, elementary particles, and finally, strings. Cities collapse and revert into small settlements as civilization crumbles, leaving humans to survive using only their baser instincts. Planets with their own complex ecosystems become giant spheres of red magma before reverting into stardust. As Junko's own resentment is purified, all reason for its existence fades. All she knows is that the reason once did exist. But even knowing that is a type of order, meaning that it, too, is lost at the hand of purification. There are no longer any reasons for emotions. In fact, the "reasons" behind emotions are nothing more than stories created by the mind's desire for order. There are no reasons for emotions, and there never were. As Junko's purification continued, she went beyond the moment of her birth, spiraling ever further toward her origin... She returned to an ancient era in which she may have lived as a human. Then went further back, to an age where gods walked among humans. She went beyond the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary to the Mesozoic era, the Paleozoic era, the Neoproterozoic era, the Mesoproterozoic era, the Paleoproterozoic era, the Neoarchean era, the Mesoarchean era, the Paleoarchean era, the Eoarchean era... and finally, the Hadean era. She lost all attachment to others and the world around her, roaming aimlessly through the disorder of the world's beginning. That was where her lives always began, and there had been too many of them to count. Purification Crystals Junko believes the purification crystals are the magical power of her memories, but that's not quite true. It's not the magical power of her memories but of fragments of the worlds she's observed. Put another way, the purification crystals are the magical power of life.
The Spread Shot of Junko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She fires bullets of purifying resentment. Birth, growth, transformation, decline, and death are all aspects of life. The life Junko created, the life that created her, the life she ended, the life that ended her, the life she chose, and the life she resented... They all became her world, her life, and the instantaneous magical power that she expends.
The Focus Shot of Junko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She fires bullets of purifying resentment. The last thing Junko clung to were her memories of Chang'e. The symbols carved into her purification crystals are most likely oracle bone script, one of the oldest forms of written language...
A Spell Card of Junko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She fires the purifying bullets of her children. Rabbits are a symbol of life owing to their proclivity to produce offspring. In other words, they are Junko's children. Rabbits who descend to the Earth, inevitably come hopping to find her in what is essentially a process of rebirth. From Junko's perspective, it's an unexpected meeting with lives previously lost.
A Spell Card of Junko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She fires the purifying bullets of her friends. Junko is friends with a god and a Hell fairy. It's said that the composition of purification crystals is similar to that of cherry crystals. Cherry crystals are purified fairies and souls, so their appearance may be similar to temperament's original form. Perhaps pure life is somewhat similar to a crystal―cold, yet beautiful.
The Last Word of Junko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She fires her own purifying bullets. Junko knew her friend was a three-bodied god, but she didn't know that she, too, possessed that same divine power. Indeed, she is the three-bodied goddess of revenge. Perhaps Junko's black hair was a gift, given to her in secret by Hecatia. In Japanese, "hair" and "god" are pronounced the same way, and therefore, it's said that hair contains spirit power. With her black hair, Junko, at last, became whole again. She wanted to give a name to her new life and to the new world she was going to live in.
Beautiful, intelligent, mysterious. Three times married, nothing left behind.
Blessed fertile land drowns in a flood of rage.
She could no longer recall those most dear to her ever since she decided to live for revenge.
