Character Information

Temperament: Yuki!
Yuki! (a Touhou LW original) refers to pretty snowflakes dancing in the sky, and it's also an expression of Yukkuri Yuyuko's joy as she dives head-first into the snow. The carefree yukkuri mistress of Hakugyokurou is incredibly curious, and her heart fills with such joy at seeing snow that she can't help but wonder what would happen if she stopped the arrival of spring. The cold snow will eventually melt and fade away, but since Yuyuko Saigyouji is a ghost, she can remain in the Netherworld forever. Who knows if the same applies to her yukkuri? Yukkuri Yuyuko is endowed with the temperament of a yukkuri ghost (Water Phase) and an easygoing attitude that lets her dodge all of Yukkuri Youmu's criticisms (Moon Essence). 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 taking it easy
Yukkuri Yuyuko'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 Yuyuko is also capable of slowly manipulating death. People usually only think about death when someone they know passes away due to an accident or illness. However, death is a constant companion to all living creatures. You could say that living is the same as dying very slowly. This means that Yukkuri Yuyuko's ability to slowly manipulate death might give her power over every slow life and death in the universe. Yukkuri Yuyuko lives a life of tedium. Yukkuris can't die, so she leaves all the work of managing the Netherworld to her Yukkuri Master. And since yukkuris cannot read, she can't write down any of the poems she makes or read any of the books in Hakugyokurou's library. That's why she usually finds herself pondering about herself and about death...

Attacks

Yukkuri Butterfly Spirits

Yukkuri Yuyuko's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She gestures with her fan, causing butterflies to fly out of it and attack. Yukkuri Yuyuko loves the big, pretty butterflies so much that she ends up flapping her fan too hard, and it goes flying too. She has to ask Yukkuri Youmu to go and get it for her.

Bullets
  • Death Butterfly
  • Life Butterfly
  • Night Butterfly
  • Yummy Butterfly
  • Yucky Butterfly
  • Yukkuri Yuyuko's Fan
Light of the Yukkuri

Yukkuri Yuyuko's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with bright, pink lasers that pierce through her opponents. These lasers seem a bit too powerful for a yukkuri, but Yukkuri Yuyuko actually shot them by accident while trying to hold in a sneeze. Maybe she has hay fever. Wait, if yukkuris can sneeze, where are their noses...?

Bullets
  • Seedling Glow
  • Sneeze Light
  • Sniffle Laser
  • Piercing Dazzle
  • Spring Ray
  • Cherry Blossom Wave
Easy Sign: Ghastly Dream

Yukkuri Yuyuko's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). A flower blooms beneath her opponent, causing countless butterflies to fly up in a spiral. "Hey, Yukkuri Youmu. Don't you think it would be fun to fly up there surrounded by all the pretty butterflies?" Before Yukkuri Youmu could stop her, the yukkuri mistress of Hakugyokurou jumped into her own attack.

Bullets
  • Dream Butterfly
  • Nightmare Butterfly
  • Lucid Dream Butterfly
  • Fluttering Butterfly
  • Falling Butterfly
  • Death Metamorphosis
Easy Sign: Deadly Lance of the Swallowtail Butterfly Crest

Yukkuri Yuyuko's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). Butterfly spirits burst forth like soul-piercing lances from a folding screen adorned with a cherry tree. At least that is how this Spell Card is supposed to work. The butterflies don't really function as lances when they flutter along so slowly. The problem is that seeing the cherry blossom on the folding screen puts Yukkuri Yuyuko in the mood for a picnic, and she can't stop thinking about yummy fried food.

Bullets
  • Lowered Lances
  • Hovering Butterflies
  • Slow Butterflies
  • Folding Screen Spring
  • Raised Lances
  • Spirit Butterfly Scales
Yukkuri Parinirvana

Yukkuri Yuyuko's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). An attack that eradicates everything caught in its rays of resurrection and death. Half asleep, Yukkuri Yuyuko happily spins with her bullets and almost gets blown away by the cherry blossom petals. The way she spins in a great wheel in her sleep is evocative of both death and life.

Bullets
  • Nirvana Light
  • Zzzzzzz
  • Spinning Spring Storm
  • Stolen Petals
  • Resurrection Butterfly Flutter
  • Light Beneath the Cherry Blossom

Skills

Skill: At Kisaragi's Squish

Apparently, yukkuris can be more or less squishy depending on the time of year. However, it's possible that someone just made that up for a laugh. Only in this world would someone think to end a poem with this line.

Skill: Spiral Triangle

The crown on Yukkuri Yuyuko's head crumples and straightens with her mood. You might think it crumples when she's at her weakest, but it could also be a sign that she's conserving her power for a big, decisive attack.

Skill: Yukkuri Ladle

Yukkuri Yuyuko is trying to improve her cooking skills because she's a big eater and wants to live a healthy yukkuri lifestyle. To that end, she created the ultimate cooking utensil: a ladle. She mostly uses it to steal a taste straight from the pot.

Passive: Angy Ghost
