Voice Lines
Gacha Pickup
I'm Aya Shameimaru, the cosplay photographer. Oh, a cute fairy. And there's another one! Wait up!
Introduction
Look over here. Smile, please. Say "Ayayaya!" *snap* ...Ahh, what a beautiful picture of Hakurei Shrine. H-Hold up! H-Hakurei Shrine?! Where'd the adorable cosplay fairies go?! Give 'em back! I thought Hakurei Shrine had turned into a market venue and that the actual main building had disappeared. I, Aya Shameimaru the cosplay photographer, saw it all unfold with my own eyes! Oh, I traveled to a different world. Makes sense. ...Wait, what?!
Purple Heart
This world seems low on autumn, but I'll keep looking.
Blue Heart
Even without much autumn, there's still a lot to like here. And there are loads of fairies!
Green Heart
All these fairies hype me up to the max! I'm sure you get it. No matter what world you're from, everyone loves fairies, right?!
Orange Heart
Did you think I chase after fairies just 'cause they're cute? Well... you were right! Cuteness is worth risking your life for! A beginner like you wouldn't understand!
Pink Heart
You think I'm hiding my true motives? Is it 'cause I'm a tengu? Haha, you really don't get it, do you? Real hiding is when even the fact you're hiding something stays hidden. Hehehe! Wait, what's this about my true motives?!
Summer
Miss Cirno and Miss Dai are playing on the midsummer lake shore! They look great. Surely being that photogenic is a crime. They can never be taken to the Moon. *snap* *snap*
Login
In the human world, they have markets of all sizes. They started showing up in my world's Gensokyo. Does that mean...?
Enhancement
Another snap for my prized collection. I'll never show it to you!
Return
I've lost count of how many times I've been ditched by fairies I wanted to get pictures of.
Home 1
Listen up, Miss Hatate, Miss Momiji. Keep quiet so I can take some beauty shots. *snap* ...Huh? Why're you carrying, like, a 16-ton hammer?!
Home 2
Do you know the horror of bumping into your boss at a market? You wouldn't mind that? Well, what if that Great Tengu boss... was cosplaying?
Home 3
Watching Miss Alice work sure is something. It'd be nice to get a snap of her focusing... I-It's not what it looks like! Get off me, dolls! I was gonna get her permission, I swear!
Reaction 1
Wanna see some of my photos? Like this one. Oh, and this one!
Reaction 2
Ayaya, she fell asleep.
Reaction 3
Here, sleep on my lap. *pats head* ...*snap*
Task
You're doing tasks? Wouldn't you rather cosplay as a fairy?
Task Complete
You finished your task? OK, put on this cosplay outfit. Hehe, it's photo time!
Mail
Oya, is this a bill for the cosplay outfit I ordered? Nope, it's just regular mail.
Errand Finished
The errand girls are back. I wonder if they found anything good to photograph.
Start of Battle
OK, fairies. First, I want all of you to strike your favorite poses!
Mid-Wave
Don't stop! Pose whatever way feels natural!
Victory
I won't put down my camera till I've photographed every fairy in this world! *snap*
Defeat
I can't give up... I won't give up. The fairies aren't going to take photos of themselves!

Character Information
Temperament: Sofuu
Sofuu (a Touhou LW original) refers to an autumn breeze. This is an apt temperament for Aya Shameimaru, the cosplay photographer from the world of eternal autumn.
Aya's temperament has wildly deviated from the laws governing the Three Essences and Five Phases.
Photos capture images of the soul. (Strong against Water Phase.)
Even the wind blowing is no biggie for Aya. (Strong against Wood Phase.)
But too much sunlight can ruin a good photo. (Weak to Sun Essence.)
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating wind (Sky)
The ability of Aya Shameimaru from the world delirious with eternal autumn (a Touhou LW original). This ability appears identical to the Aya from our world's ability. However, like all residents of the autumn world, her passion for her hobbies is more intense. As a result, it seems she's obsessed with taking photos that capture her subjects in all their glory.
In the world of eternal autumn, festivals celebrating art and people's hobbies are constantly being held across Gensokyo. Everyone knows the place to be during autumn is the Youkai Mountain. And everyone knows the Youkai Mountain is home to the tengu, which, of course, includes Aya Shameimaru. In this world, Aya has made quite a name for herself as a youkai who publishes her own books―something that, according to her, is far from easy! She always makes time for her hobbies while continuing her work as a reporter and newspaper publisher. Organization skills and a strict adherence to deadlines are her secrets to success.
The books Aya publishes are actually photo albums. She gets a real kick out of selling her latest, hand-made albums at markets such as the one at the New Lunar Capital Expo. The photos inside the album she sold at that expo were mostly of the cosplayers in attendance. She took photos, edited them, then compiled them into an album. Each step of the process filled her with joy. She always makes sure to get permission before taking anyone's photo. That's photography 101. However, occasionally, she does receive a complaint or two.
From a certain tengu:
"Hey, Aya. Why am I in this photo? Delete it, please."
"But why?"
"I dunno... I don't like the way I look in it."
Aya didn't quite understand. She thought the tengu looked great in the photo.
From another tengu:
"Miss Aya... Don't you think there are too many photos of me in here?"
"Not really. Look, there are lots of other people's photos, too."
"Yeah, but I still think there are too many of me..."
Without a few tengu photos, the entire album would be photos of fairies. It needed a little more variety.
"Hrmm, this is tricky. Hopefully making my next photo album goes a little smoother," mumbled Aya.
"In that case!" erupted the two tengu, startling Aya. "Why don't you just take photos of yourself?!"
Attacks
Instantaneous Photography
The Spread Shot of Aya Shameimaru from the world delirious with eternal autumn (a Touhou LW original). She takes a photo near-instantaneously in this attack.
"Photos capture moments in time. Each moment is unique and when it passes, it's gone forever. But photos immortalize them. And just like the memories of my youth, they can never be forgotten..."
-Aya the photographer

The Focus Shot of Aya Shameimaru from the world delirious with eternal autumn (a Touhou LW original). She takes lots of photos in an instant in this attack. In the autumn world, there's a market being held somewhere in Gensokyo practically every day. Aya has a deep appreciation for her world's culture of creating new things and then sharing them with people. Doing things yourself is how it's meant to be. There are no limits to what Aya can accomplish... as long as she doesn't upset the Hakurei shrine maiden.

Photo Shoot: Aya's Photography Negotiations
A Spell Card of Aya Shameimaru from the world delirious with eternal autumn (a Touhou LW original). She receives permission to take photos of her subject in this attack. Aya takes pictures of all kinds of people, but she finds photographing fairies to be particularly rewarding, likely because they're so pure and innocent. Fairies are symbols of life itself, and looking at them, Aya finds memories of her youth come flooding back to her. Surely there isn't a soul alive who wouldn't enjoy that.

Photography: Quick-Shooting Snap of the Day
A Spell Card of Aya Shameimaru from the world delirious with eternal autumn (a Touhou LW original). She takes a potentially prize-winning photo in this attack. Festivals celebrating art and people's hobbies have been held since long ago in the autumn world. However, the culture of creating and distributing your own publications was essentially something Aya established herself. She used a similar culture from the outside world as a basis for this but never expected it to be such a hit in Gensokyo.

Photo-Holic's High
The Last Word of Aya Shameimaru from the world delirious with eternal autumn (a Touhou LW original). She takes the ultimate photo in this attack. People with shared interests and hobbies coming together at a market to share their passions is not just a good time but also seems somehow sacred. Something was bothering, Aya, though. This new culture was becoming more and more popular in Gensokyo and looked like it was here to stay. But did that mean the opposite was the case in the outside world? A terrible image of an abandoned market suddenly flashed into Aya's mind...
