I'm Nue Houjuu... I seem all grown up? Y-You think? I'm sure I just seem that way to you.
Introduction
A night of terror with UFOs flying through the sky. Shake in fear as you encounter the unknown! ...Hold up, what's going on? I was just facing off against some insolent humans, but this isn't right. You over there, do you know my true identity?! Only kids from a long time ago know what a nue is. My name's Nue Houjuu. I look all grown up? You think? I dunno, but maybe it's because I've been storing up a bunch of power.
Purple Heart
This outfit uses a Seed of Unknown Form. Pretty cool, right?
Blue Heart
I feel like I've heard of parallel worlds before. This has gotta be one of them.
Green Heart
I'm so unidentifiable I've ended up in another world. This is the tunnel effect, right? I don't really understand it, but still!
Orange Heart
A prolonged incident, huh...? I don't really understand regular incidents. All I know is things are way different to the Heian era. I suppose that's obvious given how much time has passed. I should've talked to Mamizou about all this.
Pink Heart
If only I'd known there was a cool place like Gensokyo right above the Underworld... Actually, the oni wouldn't have allowed me to go there. I guess being swiftly exterminated by the humans really was the best outcome.
Summer
Summer is the season of the South. They hold concerts in the Garden of the Sun this time of year. I'd love to go to one. Since it's hot, maybe I'll shorten my unidentifiable dress a little.
Login
I didn't know how to deal with you after you realized my true form... but there's a me in this world, too, so it's no wonder you realized.
Enhancement
I'll give you a hug to celebrate my powering up. Mamizou told me that's considered good manners in the outside world.
Return
We're back. Phew, I'm beat. Let's take it easy for a while.
Home 1
THAT'S the reason they were trying to bring back Hijiri?! I didn't like seeing Murasa and the others working together, so I got in their way... But now I get it.
Home 2
I figured if I helped the humans gather fragments of the Flying Storehouse, then got in their way, I could entertain myself forever. It actually went really well. You don't think that's the reason for the prolonging... do you?
Home 3
If your plan to stop the big incident is going well... maybe I'll pull a prank on you. I love messing with things people are determined to protect. Teehee!
Reaction 1
You wanna sleep on my lap? Are you sure my legs are all right?

You're doing tasks? Hmm, I think I'll distract you a little. *poke* *poke*

You finished your task? You did a good job resisting my poke attacks. Well done. *pats head*

Mail? So that's what you've been reading, huh? Lemme see.
Errand Finished
I think the UFOs are back from their errands. Wanna go greet them together?
Start of Battle
I'll stomp on you until you become unidentifiable!

What do I look like? C'mon, tell me already.

I appear as whatever you want to see. That's the type of youkai I am.

Incredible. They're like Heian-era samurai.

Character Information
Temperament: Oumagatoki
Oumagatoki (a Touhou LW original) refers to twilight, i.e., the time of day when the sun's light begins to fade and night approaches. This is an apt temperament for Nue, who is completely unidentifiable.
Nue's temperament has also lost its true form. Nue doesn't like sunlight, which reveals objects' true forms (weak to Sun Essence). However, she's skilled at disguising herself as a flying luminous body with erratic movement patterns (strong against Star Essence).
Ability/Backstory: Capable of making objects unidentifiable (Prolonged)
The ability of Nue Houjuu from the world where a mysterious treasure ship flies through the skies (a Touhou LW original). It doesn't appear to be significantly different from Nue's original ability.
A suspect has been found for the incident's prolonging. The incident in question is one where a treasure ship and a great number of UFOs flew through Gensokyo's skies while the youkai attempted to save a mysterious Buddhist monk. It became the 12th prolonged incident, and as it continued, it plunged Gensokyo into total chaos. The person thought to be responsible is none other than Nue Houjuu, who's capable of rendering anything, including herself, unidentifiable. It was thought that anyone who could interfere with people's ability to identify things could easily cause an incident like this. For Nue, preventing people from reaching their destinations, stopping people from collecting items, and even tricking friends into fighting each other is a piece of cake.
However, Nue doesn't seem to think she had anything to do with it. Although... even in the same universe cluster, different worlds are all unique. Some Nue's may acknowledge the accusations against them, while others may not. Regardless, just because someone has been accused of wrongdoing doesn't necessarily mean they're guilty. Perhaps the true culprit is someone else entirely. Which would mean Nue's not the only one capable of causing an incident like this...
A powerful youkai that, during the Heian era, launched an attack on the Imperial capital was back. She no longer had any fear of being exterminated by humans and showed no concern for the rumored Buddhist monk who was sealed away. She simply wanted to go on a fun rampage, knowing that doing so would lead to some interesting situations. She figured she'd be able to garner attention, fear, and ire. However, the humans and other youkai seemed far smarter than they were in the past... That's when Nue remembered the Heian-era oni and how they were as wise as they were powerful. She also remembered Mamizou, who acquired both power and wisdom in order to blend in with human society. Nue clenched her fist and resolved to do the same. She would later forget that moment, but her resolve was power in itself.
Attacks
Thunder X
The Spread Shot of Nue Houjuu from the world where a mysterious treasure ship flies through the skies (a Touhou LW original). She hurls completely unidentifiable lightning at her foes. "Nue" are a type of youkai that are often said to resemble raijuu. In fact, it's possible that all raijuu are nue. However, by their very nature, nue are unidentifiable. Debating what exactly nue are plays right into their hands.
Bullets

Spark X
Voltage X
Ionization X

Harpy X
The Focus Shot of Nue Houjuu from the world where a mysterious treasure ship flies through the skies (a Touhou LW original). She sends completely unidentifiable bird shadows to attack her foes. It's sometimes said that the strange birds that attacked the capital during the Heian era were actually nue, a type of youkai. Originally, "nue" referred to White's thrushes, and the mysterious youkai which came to be known as "nue" had no name. Since youkai come out at night, their true form is often unknown. If you yourself happen to see one, its appearance may well surprise you.

Unidentified: Rainbow UFO Invasion of Terror
A Spell Card of Nue Houjuu from the world where a mysterious treasure ship flies through the skies. She sends colorful UFOs to attack. The UFOs are actually fragments of the Flying Storehouse that she renders unidentifiable with her Seeds of Unknown Form. However, when people in Gensokyo first saw mysterious things flying in the sky that they couldn't identify, they assumed they were UFOs. (It's actually surprising that so many of them knew about UFOs.) People really do see what they want to see―which works to the advantage of youkai, but is also somewhat disappointing.

Grudge Bow: The Bow of Genzanmi Yorimasa
A Spell Card of Nue Houjuu from the world where a mysterious treasure ship flies through the skies. She recalls her memories of being exterminated. In the past, there have been a handful of exterminations of nue and beings resembling nue. The records show the reasons for these exterminations were often rather loose claims that they were spreading misfortune or causing people to fall ill. However, that's only because little was written about youkai by future generations, who wanted to write extensively about the bravery of youkai exterminators instead. It's possible that youkai of the past possessed powerful enough magic to disrupt systems of government and enough raw firepower to level cities. If they were any weaker than that, the youkai exterminators wouldn't be so highly regarded.

Unknown Magic City Diagonal
The Last Word of Nue Houjuu from the world where a mysterious treasure ship flies through the skies (a Touhou LW original). She thrusts disorder upon an orderly civilization in this attack. During the Heian era, the beautiful, barriered-off Imperial capital sat on a grid. It was designed using the four cardinal points and became a symbol of the light of civilization and humanity's wisdom. It was a huge hindrance to youkai as well as an unpleasant place to be. Crucially, it stopped them from being able to enjoy the Night Parade with the humans. And so the nue, who despised highly organized structures, were called upon to attack it. The unidentifiable youkai couldn't wait to throw the city into chaos, and there was no one better than them to break through the city's barriers and do just that.
