I'm Yachie Kicchou, a trainee aesthetician. You're far too young to be interested in cosmetic surgery, so cherish what you already have.
Introduction
Oh my, a little patient. You're too young to be here, little one. Youth is a wellspring of possibilities. For now, just take good care of the body your parents gave you. I'm Yachie Kicchou. I got roped into trainee work the moment I arrived at Eientei, but I'm an aesthetician. If you want to be beautiful, wait until you're an adult, and make sure you have a small fortune set aside for treatments not covered by insurance. ...Hm? You want me to teach you how to do makeup? I'm not a beautician, so I can't do that professionally. ...Don't cry! Fine. I'll teach you on my break. Let's get cute together!
Purple Heart
Don't forget to apply lotion.
Blue Heart
The Animal Realm is home to spirits with all kinds of emotional baggage.
Green Heart
Animal spirits may lack physical bodies, but their spiritual forms carry their own fates. By altering those fates through aesthetic procedures, one can vanish without a trace or assume a false identity... Ah, that isn't something I should be telling you.
Orange Heart
The lines of your palm, the contours of your face... your fate is etched into the surface of your body. Change them, and your fate changes with it. I suggest you consider very carefully whether that is what you really want.
Pink Heart
Cosmetic surgery is not some shameless procedure for acquiring whatever appearance you desire. It can heal wounds of the heart, instill courage, even alter the course of one's fate. That is precisely why it should never be done carelessly... and why those blessed with good looks like Saki and Yuuma have absolutely no need of it!
Autumn
A perfume that smells of roasted sweet potato? That would suit Biten perfectly. I'll take a whole box for the Kiketsu Family.

These days everyone carelessly calls everything "plastic surgery," and that's a problem. People need to learn the difference between reconstructive, cosmetic, and orthopedic surgery.
Enhancement
Moisturizing is important. It's the foundation of everything.
Return
Beautiful bullets carry beautiful fortune.
Home 1
Who needs a scalpel with an ability like mine? An animal spirit with no physical body is easier to work on. I only have to soften its temperament into submission.
Home 2
Yuuma can eat all she likes without a care, and Saki has the metabolism of a meathead. Neither of them could ever understand a thing about wanting to be beautiful!
Home 3
Biten has high hopes for my cosmetic skills, but I don't think she needs them... She's already beautiful as she is.
Reaction 1
Used up all your skin lotion already? Then let me show you what comes next.
Reaction 2
You look sleepy. You can hug my tail and sleep.
Reaction 3
I said you could use my tail, yet here you are on my lap. *sigh* All right. *pats head*
Task
Time for your beauty check. I hope you're prepared.
Task Complete
Oh my, your skin's as soft as a baby's. Lovely and smooth. *pats head*
Mail
Oh, a letter. It's addressed to you.
Errand Finished
The otters are back. Hmm, where did I put their snacks?
Start of Battle
Come now, Cinderellas. Tell me your wish.
Mid-Wave
This is how you'll find your way to love.
Victory
It doesn't suit you... By my standard of beauty, the word is ugly.
Defeat
At the very least, my eye for fortune didn't fail me!
Spellcard 1 Chant 1
Flesh obeys my every command,
so my work needs no scalpel.
Spellcard 1 Chant 2
*sigh* ...I know I sound listless,
but please don't mind it.

Character Information
Temperament: Ontai Kisen
Ontai Kisen (a Touhou LW original) refers to an extratropical cyclone. This is an apt temperament for Yachie in her white coat, reflecting on beauty and health at the end of summer.
"Cosmetic procedures come at an enormous cost. Can you really afford it?" (Strong against Metal Phase.)
"There's nothing more beautiful than your natural beauty." (Strong against Earth Phase.)
"It shouldn't be altered carelessly... This isn't compassion. It's simply my philosophy." (Strong against Water Phase.)
"Anyway... Ugh, my blood pressure's always so low." (Weak to Moon Essence.)
Ability/Backstory: Capable of making people lose the will to fight back (Medicine)
The ability of Yachie Kicchou from the world obsessed with healers (a Touhou LW original). It doesn't appear to be any different from Yachie's original ability.
Where should the line be drawn on irreversibly changing your own appearance in pursuit of beauty? Most people might assume this question has nothing to do with them, but it's actually a timeless issue that spares no one.
What even is beauty? It's a strange kind of excellence related to things like rationality, efficiency, functionality, and usefulness. Looking at gold helps make sense of it.
Gold is practically the definition of a precious metal in most people's minds. It's in constant demand for electronics and machinery, but that's not why it's expensive. It barely reacts to anything, so its shine never fades, and it's genuinely rare. But rarity alone doesn't make something valuable. Plenty of one-of-a-kind things exist that nobody values. So what gold is actually worth boils down to how beautiful it is.
Gold, in fact, isn't even native to Earth. Elements heavier than iron only exist on Earth because they came from outside the solar system, carried in by interstellar matter or meteorites, forged in the violent death of a star, probably a supernova. In other words, gold's shine is starlight―light from a star that died, was reborn, and fell to Earth, keeping its eternal glow intact through it all. That glow lives right at the crossing point of change and permanence. That's what makes gold beautiful.
Jidiao are said to be mythical beasts born from dragons. A dragon always lays two eggs: one hatches into a dragon, the other into a jidiao. So a jidiao is, by nature, a dragon's offspring that never becomes a dragon. Then again, Yachie herself might simply come from a long line of jidiao rather than a dragon's egg, similar to Youmu descending from half-human half-phantoms.
A dragon's child, yet never a dragon―it's a fitting metaphor for anyone denied their birthright, like a king's child who'll never take the throne, or an heir who'll never lead the family. A jidiao is forced to live with what they can never become, but also free from ever having to become it. That duality is what defines the jidiao at their core.
Few understand how feeling less beautiful than others can affect your mental wellbeing as deeply as Yachie Kicchou does. While dragons blaze across the sky, jidiao stay low in the depths of the earth.
"A cheerful shikigami beats a gloomy beast any day. Vain, maybe, but that's just how young girls think."
Yachie spoke in her usual listless manner, standing right in front of the nine-tailed fox, the legendary beauty without equal.
Attacks
Otter Treatment
The Spread Shot of Yachie Kicchou from the world obsessed with healers (a Touhou LW original). She attempts a treatment using animal spirits.
Yachie's beauty treatment isn't meant to heal wounds or illness. Instead, she can change a person's appearance (even if they're a spirit) into whatever form they desire, which is exactly why her services are in such high demand among those looking to alter their features or profit from their looks, especially in a place like the Animal Realm.
However, Yachie doesn't simply treat everyone who asks. Part of the reason traces back to how she picked up her cosmetic treatment techniques in the first place. She was once offered payment to visit Eientei, only to learn they wanted her to donate her own fat for herbal medicine. She turned that down, but ended up learning from them anyway. Given that messy history, it irritates her when people ask for results without sparing a thought for what she went through to acquire her knowledge and skills. But that's not the main reason. She doesn't believe a person's physical appearance should be changed so carelessly.

Think of the body as a miniature version of the Earth. The same way feng shui reads the shape of the land, a person's appearance—the lines of the palm, the shape of the face, the arrangement of every feature—reveals their nature. And because that same appearance shapes who they are, it also shapes their fate. That's precisely what makes tampering with someone's appearance so risky. Changing one person's fate doesn't end with them. Every fate is tangled together, forming one vast, intricate web across the world, and disturbing even a single thread can set off a chain reaction that collapses the whole system. The butterfly effect is no laughing matter.
Knowing this gave Yachie a newfound respect for Remilia.

Tortoise Sign: Painless Hell
A Spell Card of Yachie Kicchou from the world obsessed with healers (a Touhou LW original). She performs cosmetic procedures.
Plenty of people spend their lives chasing beauty. But beauty, in some ways, is shaped by fate. Its origin lies in starlight―fragments that fall from the astral world and settle into each person, becoming the fate they carry. That's the idea behind the phrase "born under a lucky star." Beauty, in other words, is really just the beauty of one's fate.
Which raises the real question: is that fate actually worth changing?

Oni Sign: Suction and Injection at Will
A Spell Card of Yachie Kicchou from the world obsessed with healers (a Touhou LW original). She performs cosmetic procedures.
What's the point of enhancing someone's outward beauty when there's no wound or illness to treat? The answer, simply put, is that it heals the heart. That's all it is. A small adjustment can wash away someone's disappointment in themselves. Making a small scar less noticeable can lock away a painful memory. Turning into someone different can point a person toward a brighter future. ...That's the sort of impact a cosmetic procedure carries.
At the same time, much like how the origins of makeup, piercings, and other traditional forms of body modification carry ritual meaning, this practice holds a kind of spiritual significance. One's mental state, after all, plays a big role in how they live their life.

A Dragon Egg?
The Last Word of Yachie Kicchou from the world obsessed with healers (a Touhou LW original). She ties her sense of purpose to the very idea of beauty.
Yachie Kicchou always asks her prospective patients one thing: what do they want, and are they truly prepared for it? Changing one's own fate doesn't always go the way it's imagined. It can affect the people around them too. In the worst case, it could help everyone around them while the patient alone ends up worse off. And as far as Yachie's concerned, there's even a chance the consequences circle back to her, the one who did the procedure.
That's why she never takes body modification lightly. It's just too much trouble for her. If there's any other way to solve the problem, she'll always recommend that instead. But if she ever decides a procedure truly is necessary, she'll be willing to take that risk together with the person she's treating.
That's oddly kind of her. But even someone who can reshape body and spirit at will is allowed to be soft every once in a while.
