Hyou! (a Touhou LW original) refers to hail, small chunks of ice that fall from the sky. This is the perfect temperament for Yukkuri Alice, who may appear strong-willed and calm, but, in true yukkuri fashion, is known to get overly excited and bounce around shouting, "Hyou! Hyou!" Her temperament may also be the reason for her somewhat dry sense of humor and moments of aloofness. It might not always seem so, but she cares deeply for her friends and dolls alike. The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood. The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.
Yukkuri Alice's ability (a Touhou LW original). The "capable of taking it easy" ability held by yukkuris incorporates a toned-down version of their Yukkuri Master's signature ability. This means that Yukkuri Alice is also capable of handling yukkuri dolls. There's a trick to the wording of "capable of handling yukkuri dolls." It can refer to handling the yukkuri dolls made by Alice, handling the yukkuri yukkuri dolls crafted by Yukkuri Alice, and even the handling of regular dolls, given that it's Yukkuri Alice pulling the strings. So, just how broad is the scope of this ability? The phrasing leaves it ambiguous. You may get curious and try to find the truth by yourself, but by that point, you're no more than a puppet in one of Yukkuri Alice's puppet shows.
Yukkuri Alice's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). Her clumsy doll dashes forward and trips, flinging her attack orbs in every which direction in this adorable yet deadly attack. Among the orbs are a handful of perfectly round armatures that serve as the base for yukkuri dolls.
Yukkuri Alice's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). The expressive doll that sits atop her head says she can fire lasers, and that's exactly what she does in this attack. Having made new friends and then said goodbye to them, it seems she's gotten a little stronger.
Yukkuri Alice's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). A familiar doll cloaked in laser light unleashes a spiraling halo to scorch her foes. Yukkuri Alice figured she should go with her, in case she gets lonely.
Yukkuri Alice's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). This terrifying doll attack shares its name with one of Alice's Spell Cards. Not even Yukkuri Alice can evade this precision-perfect laser. The dolls are worried they might hit her by mistake.
Yukkuri Alice's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She shows her foes the fearsome nature of yukkuris with a puppet show. However, the ones most terrified by the downpour of dolls are the dolls themselves. Whenever this Last Word is used, they get scared and run away.
Yukkuri Alice unleashes her pent-up rage from being mistaken for a doll by Alice. It's a burst of remembered fury!
Yukkuri Alice often plays the calm straight man (or straight yukkuri) and is always correcting others' mistakes. But when faced with the chaos of the other yukkuris, her corrections often fade like illusions.
Just like how Alice made dolls identical to yukkuris, Yukkuri Alice made yukkuri yukkuri dolls. For some reason, these miniature dolls are inherently cuter than their regular-sized counterparts.
