The usual outfit of Benben, the device driver. She can set up speakers anywhere in no time at all!
Device Driver Big Sis

Gacha Pickup
Allow me to introduce myself. I am but a lowly device driver... A-Am I scaring you? Don't worry, it's me, Benben Tsukumo!
Introduction
Alice? Please respond... It's no use, huh? I'm picking up Yatsuhashi's signal. It's a little irregular, but nothing unheard of. I gotta gather information, retrieve Yatsuhashi, and find a way home, quick. Befriending a local would be my best bet, but I doubt I'll get so lucky... Huh? That sweet little girl looks perfect. H-Hello there. My name's Benben Tsukumo. I know I'm dressed a little weird, but... D-Don't worry, you can trust me!
Purple Heart
It's me, Benben. I'm always happy and kind! *sigh*
Blue Heart
When I'm stressed, I end up losing my temper... F-Forget I said anything!
Green Heart
You wanna bring peace to the world, huh? Then your best bet is to blast music out to all existence. ...That's a bit intense? My bad. I-I was only kidding!
Orange Heart
Tsukumogami have physical bodies, so they can do stuff like smashing glass with sound waves. We can even use resonance to blast people apart from the inside... Oh, uhh, just kidding!
Pink Heart
When a tool is destroyed, it releases its magical power, which then finds its way into a new tool. Even tsukumogami... tools that were abandoned without being broken, will eventually reach their physical limit. ...That's not scary, is it?
Summer
When it's this hot, I can imagine Yatsuhashi wandering around in her Eightfold Division gear. I better keep an eye on her. ...What do I look like in mine? I-I don't have any!
Login
I believe surprise concerts will eventually save the world. Music penetrates the soul and gets recalled time and time again. It's the best way to right the wrongs in the world.
Enhancement
Me and my drones, Genjou and Bokuba, powered up!
Return
It was like I was a different person? ...D-Did I scare you? I'm sorry.
Home 1
Saved data is as good as dead. It's alive only when it's replayed, performed, or resonates in someone's heart. That's what it means to be a tsukumogami.
Home 2
Me and my sister are devices, so we're happy to be used. Some tsukumogami want to be free, but obeying your user willingly is another form of freedom.
Home 3
Raiko and Kokoro are devices like me, but their personalities are... Actually, never mind. Individuality is a good thing.
Reaction 1
Are you tired? You can sleep on my lap if you want.
Reaction 2
Wow, she's fast asleep. *pats head*
Reaction 3
She needs some rest. If anyone tries to wake her... I'll stop them.

You're such a good kid doing tasks like this. I'll check them for you.

I don't get it. Our music didn't work at all.

Character Information
Temperament: Katen Gecchi
Katen Gecchi (a Touhou LW original) refers to nights when the Moon shines down on beautiful flowers. This is Benben's temperament as a futuristic tsukumogami who gained a new body after multiple reincarnations. Raiko's magic helped reform her temperament by allowing controlled reincarnations into other tools.
This temperament is specialized to resist Moon Essence and Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of making sounds and performing on her own (Hidden)
The ability of Benben Tsukumo, the device driver (a Touhou LW original). Benben's original ability became this one when it was concealed by the system of the Capital. However, due to miscellaneous adjustments and the construction of alternate functions, Benben's musical capabilities are unchanged.
This world's Benben seems to be a new type of tsukumogami... a tsukumogami of the future. This was achieved through reincarnation. If tools are cast aside without being laid to rest with a proper memorial service, they become tsukumogami. This implies that inanimate objects can also reincarnate. Some Buddhist sects also share this belief. They teach that all things, including plants and the land itself, have Buddha-nature and can thus attain enlightenment. That's also why so many youkai are named after Buddhist monks, such as mikoshi nyuudou (lit. foreseeing monk) and hitotsume-kozou (lit. one-eyed monk in training).
Tools function thanks to the magic power of those who wield them. All humans possess at least a modicum of magic, and well-used tools feel like an extension of one's body because this magic has permeated through them. When old tools are given a memorial service, they are broken and made unusable to free this magic. If this isn't done, they might become tsukumogami. However, since tsukumogami retain the body of a tool, they cannot live forever and will eventually break anyway, releasing the magic inside them. The original tool is essentially reincarnated when this magic is then imbued within another tool.
This world's Tsukumo sisters have continued to reincarnate over many years until, one day, their magic wound up in devices created by Alice the Puppeteer. They were highly sophisticated electronic devices that, for some reason, fell out of use in the Capital. Since they were essentially abandoned tools, they made the perfect home for the tsukumogami. With their power as tsukumogami, Benben and Yatsuhashi are able to create sound waves without having to rely on physical audio equipment that has already been set up. This allows them and the Prismriver sisters to perform in places that wouldn't otherwise be possible, greatly increasing the scope of their operations.
Xanadu holds a special place in Benben's heart because it reminds her of the paradise she used to live in―the paradise she had all but forgotten.
Attacks
Biwa Fanatic
The Spread Shot of Benben Tsukumo, the device driver (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with digital sound. Benben has her own unique instrument, which looks like a cross between a biwa and a bass guitar. Benben plays it like an ordinary biwa, but thanks to her effects unit, she can freely alter the sounds it produces. It's pretty handy, though you need to be particular about what style of music you want to play to make the most out of it.

Biwa B Note
Biwa C Note

Woofer Bots
The Focus Shot of Benben Tsukumo, the device driver (a Touhou LW original). She shows the value of low-frequency sounds. The Tsukumo sisters control their drones with encrypted audio signals that they play while performing. Apparently, Benben is really fond of her bots.
She has two WB-1 model Woofer Bots. One is called Genjou, and the other is Bokuba.

String Music: Storm Ensemble - Biwa
A Spell Card of Benben Tsukumo, the device driver (a Touhou LW original). She puts on a performance that's as wild and unpredictable as a storm. The device drivers' live concerts cannot be stopped. If there's a wall in their way, they tear it down. If there's not enough space to set up their amps, they break everything around them to make space. Don't worry. They clean everything up once they're done... to hide the evidence.

Double Chant: Song of Falling Stars - Biwa
A Spell Card of Benben Tsukumo, the device driver (a Touhou LW original). She puts on a performance that's as beautiful and mysterious as a meteor shower. Unlike the Prismriver sisters, when the Tsukumo sisters hold a live concert, they emphasize the physical effects of their music. Thanks to this, when the two groups of sisters work together, they become a highly versatile team capable of accomplishing a broad range of missions. They gel so well because they respect each other's music while still having confidence in their own.

Benben U-Construction
The Last Word of Benben Tsukumo, the device driver (a Touhou LW original). She holds a surprise concert in this attack. There's not enough information to say what kind of band Yougakudan was. However, their music lives on in the data stored within the vessels used by the tsukumogami to reincarnate.
Benben was blown away when she first heard their fantastic songs. Their music has a magical quality that inspires seemingly impossible ideas. "Perhaps the members of Yougakudan were tsukumogami like me. Or something similar," Benben thought. "It could be that their music was created by the notes themselves..."
