The usual outfit of the Byakuren from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship. She made the scroll out of Makai materials.

Gacha Pickup
I am the monk, Byakuren Hijiri. I haven't had a single day of peace since I was brought back.
Introduction
I believed that I could finally set up a new haven together with the youkai who look up to me. We were so close... You may find this hard to believe, but I was once sealed in Makai, so I thought I was used to sudden changes. But now I know that was conceit. I am utterly overwhelmed by the fact that there is a Gensokyo that maintains a balance between youkai and humans... My name is Byakuren Hijiri, and I am but a foolish monk.
Purple Heart
I have already given up my humanity. Are you an ally of humans? Or...?
Blue Heart
Have humans not changed since my days in the temple?
Green Heart
Toramaru, Murasa, Ichirin, and Unzan... Was I mistaken? I devoted my heart and soul to protecting youkai... But this Gensokyo...
Orange Heart
I wanted to protect youkai. Once I found out that humans still attack youkai, I had no choice but to fight them. However, I should have wanted to protect the humans as well. How did I forget something so important...?
Pink Heart
The true enemy is in your own heart. It is my duty to build bridges between youkai and humans to create a world where youkai can live in peace. What I really should be fighting for... is to uphold a temple where both youkai and humans can gather together.
Summer
Since it is summer, the Fairy Herald of Spring is wandering about aimlessly. I must protect her! Maybe if I send her into a Senkai... Wait, the Fairy Herald of Spring isn't a youkai.
Login
Let us go around and listen to the troubles of youkai again today. Everyone is more concerned about connections and relationships than food, clothing, or shelter in this day and age. This means that there is even more work for monks.
Enhancement
Oh, the world of dharma is filled with light. Now I can be a better guide for youkai.
Return
We have returned unharmed once again. *sigh* I am truly relieved.
Home 1
I have spoken with the mermaid, rokurokubi, and the werewolf. It seems that I was right in thinking that there are some youkai who fear for their well-being. I must protect them!
Home 2
I saw a noble hermit, and I wanted to comment on their self-righteous philosophy... But is there any difference between hermits that have returned from the dead and youkai?
Home 3
I was told that the shrine dedicated to the living god and two other gods specializes in youkai extermination. But they seem to be on good terms with youkai. I don't understand.
Reaction 1
May I sit down next to you? I would love to talk.
Reaction 2
...You will never believe what Myouren did next... Hehehe...
Reaction 3
Oh... Feel free to sleep in my embrace.
Task
What does your task entail? Is there anything I can do to help?
Task Complete
Task complete. Good humans deserve a reward. Here, let me pat your head.
Mail
There's some mail for you. It is truly admirable how you deal with so much written correspondence.
Errand Finished
Someone has returned. Let us go out to greet them. We must thank them for their service.
Start of Battle
I will fight for a world where humans and youkai are equal!
Mid-Wave
Surrender if you have no will to fight!
Victory
I will forgive you. And if you have nowhere else to go, come and visit me.
Defeat
Cease this pointless struggle... I will come to speak with you no matter how many times it takes.

Character Information
Temperament: Lenticular Cloud
Lenticular Cloud (a Touhou LW original) refers to a lens or saucer-shaped cloud formed by moist air flowing up a mountain. This is an apt temperament for a youkai monk who hid away from the world. Byakuren is endowed with Fire Phase, with her passion in preaching for human-youkai equality, and Sun Essence, as she respects the dharma.
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 alluring and arrogant Sun Essence resists the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of using magic (specializing in increasing physical ability)
The ability of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship. It is thought to be fundamentally the same as our version of Byakuren's ability. The youkai monk, Byakuren Hijiri, has long been sealed away in an area of Makai called Hokkai (also known as dharmadhatu or the realm of truth). After her seal was removed, she was supposed to set up Myouren Temple near the Human Village in Gensokyo, but this Byakuren hasn't done that yet.
Our Byakuren was not initially hostile toward Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Sanae Kochiya, who helped bring her back. In fact, she was friendly and grateful that they broke the seal that bound her. However, when she spoke to them, she realized that humans are still as foolish as ever and her attitude changed to exasperated fury. Byakuren's memories are haunted by humans who detest and exterminate youkai out of fear, so seeing that they are still the same awoke a feeling of anger and terror within her. Her fury is eventually quelled, and she has a change of heart after her battle of bullets with Reimu and the others... But it seems this has not yet happened to the Byakuren of this world, as she is still continuing her long, drawn-out fight.
There are many mysteries surrounding what kind of state Byakuren was in when she was sealed away. However, the Byakuren of this world seems to have lived a decent enough life in the remote region of Makai, even though she was sealed there. Hokkai is a place shrouded in dense miasma and is said to be a rural region of Makai. But that did not stop her from setting up a home and continuing her training while waiting for the day when she would eventually be free. It is quite likely that some denizens of Makai and the Makai god participated in her training. This was when she created her Sorcerer's Sutra Scroll magic item, and it can be assumed that Byakuren's body was slowly and steadily replaced with materials from Makai. She truly is a great magician.
Attacks
Resurrecting Light of Dharma
The Spread Shot of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship (a Touhou LW original). The light of this attack heralds the rebirth of the great magician. This dark light is truly magical in how it contrasts with the sun of Makai, which illuminates Hokkai. Byakuren is a monk who sides with youkai and gave up her own humanity to become a youkai... Only by embracing the philosophy that humans and youkai are equal can her duality be free from contradiction.

Name-Reciting Chant
The Focus Shot of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by chanting her own name as a superhuman. The halo that appears behind her blatantly shows that she has received the blessing of a divine being. This light could even be from the Buddha, considering how bright it is... Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that she is an ally to humans. How terrifying.

Great Magic: Devil's Recitation
A Spell Card of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship. This attack is reminiscent of a certain demonic god. Apparently, there is a god that created Makai who resides within Makai. Perhaps Byakuren learned this attack from that Makai god... But where did this information come from in the first place?

Superhuman: Byakuren Hijiri
A Spell Card of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship. She attacks by moving at super high speed with her astounding physical prowess. She is so fast that Byakuren reaches her target before the light of her trail. This ability is overwhelmingly powerful even compared to normal youkai magicians. She truly is a being that transcends humanity, worthy of being called a superhuman.

Mantra of Truth
The Last Word of Byakuren Hijiri from the world with a mysterious flying treasure ship (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by unleashing all the light of dharma that she possesses. It is assumed that the light of dharma collected by her Sorcerer's Sutra Scroll is released in the form of lasers and other types of bullets.
Mantras are secret incantations that represent the truth. In terms of magic, they are the words that make up the world, kind of like a programming language. The more accurately a mantra is chanted, the more energy is generated. It is truly a weaponized archaic smile that simultaneously bestows salvation and ruin. Perhaps this attack evolved into her Last Word of the future, Angirasa Veda.
