The usual outfit of Yoshika from a world overflowing with divine spirits. Seiga wrote some notes on the ofuda on her forehead.

*bite* ...Wait, are you serious? I thought it was OK to eat you. I'm Yoshika Miyako. I'm a jiang shi! Have you seen the door I'm supposed to be guarding?
Introduction
Hey, Seiga! What's a spirit path? Is it yummy? ...Huh? Where'd the mausoleum door go?! Ummm... Meh, whatever! There's no way a jiang shi like me could figure this out! You there. Little girl. Yeah, you. I'm Yoshika Miyako. Can I eat you? ...Awww. I was ordered to ask permission first so I don't cause trouble. Oh well. Umm, do you know how I can get home?
Purple Heart
The grave I guard belongs to a great person called Miko. ...Oh, was I meant to keep that a secret?
Blue Heart
The temple is our enemy. We were created to protect the spirit mausoleum.
Green Heart
Apparently, that Miko person used to gallop around everywhere on a horse. I can almost picture it now. I think it was Seiga who told me about her.
Orange Heart
I don't really get it, but apparently, I have the same intelligence as one of those old computer things. I'm probably as good as that 98 one. That's why I can do pretty much anything. I'm really smart! I'm a smart fighter!
Pink Heart
The Rashoumon oni? Umm, I don't know what you're talking about. But I like that poem. I think it's a good one. Could you write it on some paper and stick it on me? ...Uh-oh, it's triggered the Nyan Nyan Security Lock! How come?!
Summer
It's hot. I kinda feel more flexible than usual... Don't tell me my joints are getting soft! That means I'm starting to rot! I don't wanna rot!
Login
I'm hungry... I miss Seiga... I want her to take me to an all-you-can-eat meat buffet... I WANT MEAT!
That was a fun battle. But next time, I'm gonna hit with more bullets to make more jiang shi.
Home 1
A noble soul imbued me with life... You wanna know how? And whose soul it was? And where my body came from? You ask too many questions. And, well... I've got no idea 'cause I'm a zombie!
Home 2
I'm sure it must've been Seiga who made me into a jiang shi, but I don't know how she did it. I can't tell you anything that isn't written on the paper Seiga stuck to my forehead.
Home 3
The mausoleum I protect belongs to a noble prince, so no one's allowed inside. That's why I was standing guard. But now the door's gone, so I'm out of a job!
Reaction 1
I can't bend my legs, so you can't rest on my lap. That's too bad, huh?!
Reaction 2
Instead, I'll give you a hug. Though, my arms don't bend, either.
Reaction 3
Can I have a nibble while you're asleep?
Task
Tasks, huh? I get the feeling this body of mine was good at that kind of stuff.
Task Complete
Well done doing your tasks. I wanna pat your head, so line your head up with my arm. Good. *pats head*
Mail
Mail, huh? ...Hmm, for some reason, this makes me think of a big gate. But I don't recognize it.
Errand Finished
We're back from an errand... You wanna know why I said "we"? You might be better off not knowing.
Start of Battle
You should join us. Become a jiang shi!

We're undying fighters. We'll protect the spirit mausoleum.

Character Information
Temperament: Kaiki Gesshoku
Kaiki Gesshoku (a Touhou LW original) refers to a total lunar eclipse―a celestial phenomenon where the Moon is completely hidden by the Earth's shadow. This is an apt temperament for Yoshika, who tries to eat everything she sees. Yoshika is endowed with Water Phase, as an undead fighter, and Moon Essence, due to unconscious remnants of temperament hidden deep inside her.
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 eating anything (When she takes a bite out of humans, they temporarily become jiang shi.)
The ability of Yoshika Miyako from a world overflowing with divine spirits (a Touhou LW original). It's basically the same as our Yoshika's ability.
Yoshika is a zombie and jiang shi. The wicked hermit, Seiga Nyan Nyan, created her to guard Miko's spirit mausoleum. It's possible that Seiga created Yoshika long after Miko was entombed, however, there isn't enough evidence to say for sure.
Monsters and youkai that move even though they are corpses are collectively known as the living dead. They seem to have no will of their own and can only function by obeying the commands of relatively simple programs. The living dead are practically the same as puppets, golems, and robots, except for the fact that they're made from corpses. Generally speaking, none of these beings have souls, so they cannot make spiritual attacks. Medicine Melancholy is a prime example of this. That said, if you ignore Yoshika's somewhat unique personality, she's just as capable of talking and doing things as any other youkai or human. There are a few possible explanations for this.
- Rental Theory: She acts as a vessel for spirits of the dead and borrows their intelligence.
- Robot Theory: She doesn't house any spirits, but instead just seems intelligent because she follows the directions of a complex program.
- Grid Theory: She thinks with something other than her brain.
Unfortunately, none of these theories are verifiable, which makes Yoshika a kind of philosophical zombie.
The scariest part of her ability is how she can bite people to turn them, albeit temporarily, into jiang shi. Imagine what it would be like to become a philosophical zombie... Actually, that's pretty hard to imagine. Anyway, this ability can potentially cause a wide-reaching and devastating incident. You may think it'll be OK because all you need to do is avoid getting bitten, but what if you simply think that way because you've already been bitten? Perhaps that's what your zombie brain wanted you to think? By the time you returned to normal, the memories of getting bit might've already rotten away.
Attacks
Yellow Fangs
The Spread Shot of Yoshika Miyako from a world overflowing with divine spirits (a Touhou LW original). She bites her foes with her zombie teeth. When a zombie bites someone, their victim becomes a zombie too. Yoshika actually has this exact ability. Aren't vampires supposed to be able to do something similar...?
Bullets
Yellow Fangs
Yellow Canines
Yellow Central Incisors
Yellow Lateral Incisors
Yellow Premolars

Red Nails
The Focus Shot of Yoshika Miyako from a world overflowing with divine spirits (a Touhou LW original). She scratches her foes with her jiang shi nails. Apparently, the nails of jiang shi are coated in a toxin that incapacitates anyone they scratch. They might be slow, undead fighters, but you underestimate them at your own peril.

Recovery: Heal by Desire
A Spell Card of Yoshika Miyako from a world overflowing with divine spirits. She eats tiny divine spirits and absorbs their power. Tiny divine spirits are manifestations of desires born from prayers. But they are also clumps of temperament with the potential to evolve into true divine spirits. In other words, they're like god eggs, which makes Yoshika, who eats them, an egg-thieving snake. Also, since they're basically eggs, they're probably a good source of spiritual nutrition.

Desire Sign: Score Desire Eater
A Spell Card of Yoshika Miyako from a world overflowing with divine spirits. She eats desire spirits and absorbs their power. Desire spirits, a.k.a. tiny divine spirits, are clumps of temperament that have the potential to become gods. Thus, consuming them might also cause your soul to evolve in some way. However, Yoshika is a zombie, so eating them only regenerates her rotten mind and body. If she was capable of becoming a more powerful type of undead creature, eating the desire spirits might've helped her to evolve into a divine saint like Miko, a shikaisen, or perhaps even something greater. Then again, she'd first have to find a way to keep a soul attached to her body.

Undead Murderer
The Last Word of Yoshika Miyako from a world overflowing with divine spirits (a Touhou LW original). This was originally a type of attack called Overdrive. Yoshika created this Spell Card by adjusting that attack to be used as her Last Word. Yoshika is a corpse and a fighter who was tasked (presumably by Seiga) with keeping intruders out of the spirit mausoleum. She said, "We are fighters" when confronting an intruder, which implies that there are or were others who guarded the mausoleum with her. Perhaps Seiga created multiple jiang shi to guard the spirit mausoleum, but they got lost somewhere along the way before the time of Miko's resurrection. Maybe they returned to the soil because they weren't as structurally sound as Yoshika, or they could've been defeated by intruders because they weren't as strong. Another possible explanation is that Yoshika kept biting intruders, temporarily turning them into jiang shi and then parting ways with them once their transformation had expired. The only one who could know for sure is Yoshika, but her rotten brain prevents her from remembering.
