Character Information

Temperament: Tenka

Tenka (a Touhou LW original) refers to flowers that are said to bloom in the heavens, and it is also another word for snow. Perhaps this temperament is related to how Yuyuko loves the flowers that bloom in the land of the dead? Because of this Yuyuko's peculiar circumstances, her Phase and Essence endowments are completely different from the usual. She is resistant to the Phases and Essences of continual change, being Moon Essence (periodic change), Star Essence (irregular change), Fire Phase (the cycle of gas), and Water Phase (the cycle of liquid) as her roots are firmly entrenched deep into the land of the dead. Conversely, she is weak to Earth Phase (earthquakes) and Metal Phase (uprooting) because they cut roots.

Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating death?

This version of Yuyuko's ability was most likely the same as our version of Yuyuko's ability, but as her world changed, so did her ability. However, it is still not known what exactly has changed about it. It is said that the Yuyuko of our world experienced a change in her ability in the past. However, since Yuyuko herself does not have any clear memories of her past, there is no confirmation of this. In any case, there has been no indication of her misusing this dreadfully powerful ability. This Yuyuko hasn't misused her ability either... probably. Our Yuyuko uses this ability to guide phantoms and safeguard them until they reincarnate. This Yuyuko surely uses her ability in the same manner... hopefully.

Attacks

Reverse Screen

Yuyuko Saigyouji (Tiny Ghost Mistress)'s Spread Shot. This attack is a special dance where she flips up and backward in the air. This is evocative of a folding screen that is placed upside down next to the bedside of the deceased. They are placed as such as part of a practice called sakasa-goto, a part of Japanese funeral rites, where everyday objects and customs are inverted to symbolize that it is not an everyday occasion. It is said that sakasa-goto is also a ritual to isolate the realm of the dead from the world of the living.
