I'm Nitori Kawashiro. Also known as Nitori, the Valley Kappa. As a native, I will not surrender to the newcomers!
Introduction
Oh, you're one of my sworn friends! Isn't this Hakurei Shrine―the final defensive stronghold of our sworn friends? When did I get here? ...Oh, sorry. I was checking my instruments. In order to combat the new force on top of the mountain, I gathered technology from the outside world and the moon and oversaw the development of many different inventions. But the readings of my instruments are kind of strange. Is there anyone who can tell me what's going on? I'm Nitori Kawashiro. Also known as Nitori, the Valley Kappa.
Purple Heart
My optical camouflage suit broke...?! A-Are there any spare parts...?!
Blue Heart
You're just a human, so how can you see me...?! Oh, the power wasn't on.
Green Heart
I pretty much understand what's going on. Parallel worlds... Leaving aside whether they're technically possible or not, the current situation points to the fact that such things exist. I'm surprisingly calm? Y-Yeah, I guess!
Orange Heart
Everyone in this Gensokyo seems to get along, even with the gods on top of the mountain. The mountain youkai are particularly skilled at diplomacy while hiding their true intentions... Oh, don't worry about it. I just thought that it's not always good to be solely committed to honest business practices.
Pink Heart
Yeah, I had a feeling that I'd need to invent something to return to my original world. Of course, I can create anything with my brilliant mind and exceptional skills. I just need... materials and additional knowledge. Do you have any good ideas, my sworn friend?
Summer
My sworn friend! It's cucumber season! Summer means cucumbers, right? ...A watermelon? That name kind of scares me, even though they come from the same plant family as cucumbers.
Login
Hey, sworn friend! Let's go out again today to look for materials, fuel, or collaborators. Hakurei Shrine doesn't have any of those things, so let's get ready to go.
Enhancement
Tada! A new weapon! Let's give it a try!
Return
I'm going to perform maintenance on my weapons. I need to overhaul them regularly.
Home 1
Minerals like those dragon gems will obviously be useful. But I'm not sure if I can control them... Maybe we should consult that jewelry crafter.
Home 2
The black water that came up from the Underworld? It's good for fuel, but I doubt it will give us enough power. I really want to recruit the Underworld Sun, but I need to figure out how!
Home 3
The mouse youkai was complaining that there was nothing good at Muenzuka. But all that junk looked like a pile of treasure to me. I brought a few things back!
Reaction 1
My shell? This is my shell. No, right here.
Reaction 2
My plate? My kappa plate? You mean this?
Reaction 3
Are you giving me cucumbers?! Thank you!
Task
A task, eh? Shall I build you a machine that does your tasks for you? You don't need it?
Task Complete
It looks like you didn't need a machine to do your task. Great job!
Mail
You've got some mail. Use these scis―I mean, this letter opening machine!
Errand Finished
I see that someone is back from an errand. I wonder if they got the parts I asked for?

Let me see how serious you are.

Don't go too far in. It's dangerous.

Character Information
Temperament: Yamatanikaze
Yamatanikaze (a Touhou LW original) refers to winds that change direction from mountain to valley during the day and mountain to valley at night. An apt temperament for Nitori, as a kappa that travels between the river and the mountain. Nitori is endowed with Water Phase, as an aquatic youkai, and Moon Essence, since she collaborates with her peers.
The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water.
The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating water
The ability of Nitori Kawashiro from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain. It seems to be fundamentally the same as our version of Nitori's ability. The prolonged disturbance of the mountain gods seems to have caused Nitori to keep fighting for longer than in our world's history.
In Nitori Kawashiro's world, she has joined forces with the youkai and native gods on the mountain to fight against the new gods (Moriya Shrine) who appeared on the Youkai Mountain. The kappa are also temporarily allied with the forces at the foot of the mountain, including Hakurei Shrine until the disturbance is resolved. As the disturbance prolonged, even the youkai and deities who would not usually show their faces began to enter the fray. This caused the war to become more chaotic, continuing the stalemate.
Since the new gods of the mountain have powers related to wind and water, the kappa, who manipulate water, and the tengu, who manipulate wind, were expected to be the key military force against them. However, this also means they have a severe weakness against these gods. Both kappa and tengu were tossed about by the gods' manipulation of wind and rain. The new gods to the mountain seemed to have the advantage, but the kappa and tengu are wise and cunning. Thanks to the intelligence-gathering of the tengu and the kappa's innovative prowess, they quickly copied the new technology brought in by the mountain gods. And this didn't happen just once or twice. Every time the mountain gods brought in new technology, they copied it. Naturally, they used this new technology obtained with reverse engineering to combat the new gods on the mountain. This is how the stalemate was perpetuated.
How the remaining humans at the foot of the mountain intervene should be this situation's deciding factor... But for some reason, Reimu and the others of this world have not been able to exert much influence.
Attacks
Bowl-Lending Spinner
The Spread Shot of Nitori Kawashiro from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain (a Touhou LW original). She shoots normal bullets in all directions. There are old folk tales about kappa or other beings lending people bowls and other tableware to people who pray to a lake or rock. They are collectively called wankashi (bowl-lending) legends. There is a theory that these tales represent trading with foreign lands and hospitality.

Shibaten Sumo
The Focus Shot of Nitori Kawashiro from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain (a Touhou LW original). She shoots light bullets toward her opponents. Shibaten youkai, also called shiba-tengu youkai, are considered to be a type of kappa. They are about the size of human children and appear near water, but they are strong and love sumo wrestling. Why are they called shibaten when shibaten means "little tengu"...?

Optics: Hydro Camouflage
A Spell Card of Nitori Kawashiro from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain. She shoots bullets while using optical camouflage. Kappa are said to be able to change the color of their skin to match their surroundings. But who could have guessed that they did this through optical camouflage?! Did they make this camouflage out of metamaterials...?

Kappa: Spin the Cephalic Plate
A Spell Card of Nitori Kawashiro from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain. She shoots out bullets in an expanding circular pattern. A trademark of kappa are the dishes on the top of their heads. It is said that a kappa's plate is always filled with water, and when the water runs out, the kappa weakens or even dies. Who could have imagined that she would spin her precious plate and use it as a weapon?!

Wind and Clouds! The Youkai Mountain 3D
The Last Word of Nitori Kawashiro from the world with squabbling gods on the mountain (a Touhou LW original). She utilizes an artificial three-dimensional projection in this attack. It may be a slight exaggeration, but this technology lets the user create another reality. However, it seems to have been appropriated for battles of bullets since it is still in the early stages of development.
This is an example of the kappa's fast technology cloning tactics to combat the mountain god's introduction of new technology. This innovation kicked off the ultimate battle for the fate of the Youkai Mountain.
