The usual outfit of Shion from the world delirious with eternal summer. She's hoping to catch a whopper with Tenshi's fishing rod.

I'm Shion Yorigami, the poverty god, and I fish for shrimp with sea bream as bait. This rod is an artifact I got from a celestial. With it, I can catch tons of fish! Or so I thought...
Introduction
Oh no, my line's tangled! Guess I got no choice but to cut it. Fishing wire isn't cheap. It doesn't look like we'll have anything to eat for dinner, does it, Miss Tenshi? ...Huh? She's not here! This is... the sunken Hakurei Shrine?! If this is a shrine... there must be food to eat! Reimu? Reimuuu? Let's have some white rice. Oh, who are you? I'm Shion Yorigami, the poverty god. Why are you staying at a poor shrine like this?
Purple Heart
Miss Tenshi... where did you go? I'm freezing...
Blue Heart
Either I can't catch any fish with Miss Tenshi's fishing rod, or I catch only inedible fish.
Green Heart
If I can't catch anything because of my misfortune, then Miss Tenshi's fishing rod can't be all that powerful. But surely that's not true...
Orange Heart
Your luck doesn't change even when you're with me. Although, from what I've heard, you're pretty unlucky... You're kinda like me, no? Then again, you're just a regular human. I guess I'm overthinking this.
Pink Heart
I'm a legit poverty god capable of bearing the whole world's misfortune on my shoulders. If our fates and temperaments are similar... It's scary even to think about. There's nothing to cry about, though. Joon and I will treat you like our little sister.
Summer
Summer! Swimsuits! The sea! I heard there's a fishing spot on the Moon. I'm sure I could reel in a sea bass there.
Login
I heard there's gonna be a cook-off. I gotta take part. Joon said if you show up with a fish you caught, you get to sample all the other competitors' dishes.
Enhancement
A new song was added to this fishing rod, but what's the point of that?
Return
I keep getting better at dodging bullets, but... bullet battles don't put food on the table.
Home 1
The fishing rod I got from Miss Tenshi is an artifact! I won't let you touch it! Joon tried to pawn it off, but I cried a bunch and stopped her!
Home 2
I tried getting into the beach house, but a maneki-neko in a swimsuit chased me away. When I looked beside me, I saw a misfortune god in a swimsuit with the same expression as me... Hehe, I think we're gonna get along.
Home 3
The pair from Hakugyokurou are obsessed with sushi. I'm jealous. I wanna stuff myself with sushi, too. I wonder if they'll give me any.
Reaction 1
Not catching anything makes me sleepy...
Reaction 2
Why are you getting sleepy too?
Reaction 3
Why are you sleeping on my lap...? *pats head*
Task
Forget about tasks. Let's go fishing. We need fish to eat.
Task Complete
I was with Miss Tenshi, but I couldn't catch anything... Hm? You finished your task? Right.
Mail
Airmail? It's not another debt reminder, is it...?!
Errand Finished
Errands? They didn't get anything for me, right...? They got me bait? Th-Thanks...
Start of Battle
A-All right... This time I'll catch something.
Mid-Wave
I got this fishing rod from Miss Tenshi. Why can't I catch anything with it?!
Victory
A catch! A huge catch! Victory! ...Or so I thought. Everything I caught is worthless!
Defeat
I wish I could at least catch some leather shoes. They're technically edible.

Character Information
Temperament: Koku-un
Koku-un (a Touhou LW original) refers to black clouds or something that disrupts progress. This is an apt temperament for this Shion, a poverty god from the world of eternal summer.
The mysterious artifact is highly durable (strong against Metal Phase and Wood Phase). Even in the cheerful world of eternal summer, Shion is as gloomy as ever (strong against Water Phase but weak to Sun Essence)!
Ability/Backstory: Capable of making people unlucky, including herself (Beach)
The ability of Shion Yorigami from the world of eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). This ability isn't any different from the Shion of our world's ability. Tenshi's good fortune assists Shion through the fishing rod she lent her, so even when Tenshi's far away, Shion doesn't suffer from her horrendously poor luck. However, the second Shion lets go of the rod, her poverty god ability fires up again. No matter what, she has to keep the fishing rod close.
Even in the world of eternal summer, the Yorigami sisters caused an incident. And what an incident it was! After it was resolved, history followed pretty much the same path as our world, bringing us to the present day. These days, Shion's little sister, Joon, accompanies Myouren Temple's Buddhist priest, while Shion herself is seemingly attached at the hip to a celestial she very much admires. Indeed, life is good for the Yorigami sisters.
It's not as if there was some sign indicating the sisters' happiness would soon come to an end, but an unsettling thought has recently taken root in Shion's mind. Then again, perhaps that thought has always been there, lurking in the shadows, and now she's finally become aware of its presence.
Shion's thought process goes a little like this:
"I'm happy when I'm with Miss Tenshi because she cancels out my misfortune."
↓
"Does that mean I'm simply using her? No, I like her a lot. But can I actually prove that...?"
↓
"She's canceling out my misfortune, but I'm not doing anything for her. Doesn't that make me a burden?"
↓
"Then again, it would be arrogant of me to assume I could help a celestial."
↓
A few days later...
"I'm happy when I'm with Miss Tenshi because she cancels out my misfortune."
While it's true Shion can be too laidback (as shown in the way she relies on her little sister for everything), Tenshi can be too caring and empathetic. With her celestial intelligence, all it took was one look at Shion to see she lacked confidence.
"Here, Shion, use this."
"F-For real...?!"
"I think it's another artifact. I borrowed it on my way out of Heaven."
"Are you sure it's OK for me to have a precious item like this?!"
"It doesn't bother me. I'm pretty sure you can use it. After all, there's a fortune god who always carries a fishing rod everywhere."
"I-I don't…"
"What's the matter?"
It was at that moment, for a plentitude of reasons, tears of happiness began streaming down Shion's cheeks. And at the same time, she was filled with determination. It was a different kind of determination to the kind she felt during the oil crisis when she and her little sister tried to get rich.
A short while later, Shion received word of the Occult Bowl's seafood cook-off...
Attacks
Tire Fishing
The Spread Shot of Shion Yorigami from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She feels as if she's caught something big. "It's huge!" she thought as she reeled in... a big rubber tire. She'd seen things like this before in comedy manga but didn't expect it to happen in real life. Then again, the fact that there was a tire in this Gensokyo's sea is quite something.

Rain Boot Haul (Harpoon)
The Focus Shot of Shion Yorigami from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She feels as if she's made the catch of her dreams. Perhaps this boot belonged to a kappa. In the outside world, garbage being thrown into the ocean is apparently a global issue. Humans should at least ensure what they dispose of can be broken down by the elements. All of the microplastics in the ocean as a result of fossil fuel usage is truly a tragedy.

Tearful Inedible Fish Release
A Spell Card of Shion Yorigami from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She returns inedible fish to the ocean. If history had followed its proper course, this Spell Card would have probably been called "Poor Sign: Mischance Scatter."
There are some fish you can catch but can't eat. The most obvious example are poisonous fish. It's dangerous to judge whether a fish is edible based solely on its appearance or to underestimate the effect its poison can have. That rule applies no matter how hungry you are.

Bait Scattering: Poverty God-Style Fishing
A Spell Card of Shion Yorigami from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). It's unclear whether this is an effective fishing method, but Shion's desperate enough to try anything. If history had followed its proper course, this Spell Card would have probably been called "Petroleum: Poverty God's Crude Oil Runoff Pollution."
Good news for anyone who thinks fishing bait is kinda expensive. There are lots of things you can use as bait that are either cheap or totally free. Scattering a mixture of krill and rice bran onto the water works a treat! Using fish that wash up on the shore as bait isn't a bad idea, but you have to be careful not to touch any of the toxic ones.

Tight Bullet Money Budget
The Last Word of Shion Yorigami from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She tries not to depend too much on money. Bullet Money was once all the rage in Gensokyo. These days, it's not worth anything and is seen as little more than toy money. However, there are those who still love to collect it. It's gotten to the point that some people even take it in exchange for goods and services! At Business Market Yamashiro, you can find tons of great ingredients at affordable prices. Which means all Shion had to do was catch a fish for the main dish! The problem was that Shion's misfortune combined with Tenshi's good fortune only made her a fisherwoman with average luck.
The rod she was using excelled at helping the user enjoy fishing but could be rather temperamental when it came to catching anything. (Perhaps that's the way the original owner liked it.) It's as if the rod itself was of the philosophy that time spent fishing is more important than what you catch. Shion would've rathered a rod that could, you know, actually catch fish, but seeing as she received this one from Miss Tenshi, she wasn't in a position to complain...
That said, as she sat there not catching any fish, she started to realize she was quite enjoying herself.

Skills
Skill: Misused Artifact
It seems Shion's fishing rod was never really a fishing rod, it just happens to work really well as one.
Skill: Incredible Wind
Sometimes, when she swings the fishing rod, a gust of wind blows. Something amazing might happen if she threw the rod into the wind.
Skill: Taiji Float
Shion's float is clearly no ordinary float. Perhaps it's even another artifact.
