Hello, I'm Yuyuko Saigyouji. Did you happen to see a strange lady run past, crying and screaming at the top of her lungs? Her name's Hisami.
Introduction
Oh my, that's no good, Miss Hisami. Do you mind if I take a bite of your festival snack? Hm? Was I listening? Of course. But if she left you behind, I can't see what else you can do but wait for her to return. Chasing her all the way here makes you seem like a sta― ...She's gone. I didn't eat her, too, did I? Oh, a lost child. I'm Yuyuko Saigyouji. I'll take you to the guest services tent, OK? ...You're not lost? Then do you want to stay with me for a while? I was about to go look for this sad lady I was with. Oh, this white crocodile was a prize I won at a stall. Careful. She doesn't like pats.
Purple Heart
Why is it so hot all the time?
Blue Heart
Of course I know that our world is strange.
Green Heart
Let's whisper, OK? Who knows who might be listening...? I'm pretty good at manipulating temperament, but this incident's on a global scale. I don't even know where you'd start.
Orange Heart
Yukari has already started taking action. Same with all the other influential people who've noticed something's going on. The hot spring vacations and festival outings are just a cover, so they can exchange info in secret. Because nobody knows who the culprit is or what they're capable of.
Pink Heart
I'm sure the true reason for the Yama and Miss Zanmu's vacation is also to investigate the incident affecting our entire world... Are you listening, Miss Hisami? Miss Zanmu won't be coming home any time soon. So just eat and forget about her.
Autumn
It's imo mochi season, so the festival stalls should sell them. They're suuuuper yummy, and you have to pound the potatoes a lot to make them, so surely that gets rid of all the calories!
Login
If you're wondering why I'm not carrying around a festival snack, it's not because I'm on a diet. It's because we already ate everything. Me and this crocodile.
Enhancement
No matter what I eat, it's incorporeal calories. Being a ghost has its perks.
Return
We're baaack. There was lots of yummy food. Shame we already ate it all.
Home 1
Do crocodiles live all along the Sanzu River? Scary. I'll have to tell Youmu to be careful.
Home 2
Miss Hisami looks so cute bawling her eyes out. Makes me want to feed her looooots of food. It's fun.
Home 3
Yukari should be around here somewhere. I wonder what she's doing. Perhaps she's rekindling her old friendship with that little oni.
Reaction 1
It's strange how lighting fireworks can make you feel cooler.
Reaction 2
You're just like me. We both prefer food over fireworks. Teehee.
Reaction 3
Seems you've found the perfect spot to cool off: my lap. *pats head*
Task
Oh, you're doing tasks? You're such a hard worker. Keep it up.
Task Complete
You finished your task? Then let's go enjoy the festival together.
Mail
Oh, looks like you got a summer greeting card.
Errand Finished
Looks like someone's returned. Youmu? Youmuuuu?
Start of Battle
Let's cool off in elegance and style.
Mid-Wave
May I have a bite?
Victory
I know asking people to share their food is shameless. But I just can't stop myself.
Defeat
How rude. If you wanted a bite, you should've just said so.
Spellcard 1 Chant 1
I never thought I'd win a crocodile at a festival.
Apparently, they live under big cities.
Spellcard 1 Chant 2
But I bet this one is an anima that lived in
the Sanzu River. She's special. Probably.

Spellcard 2 Chant 1
Their fleeting beauty reminds me of cherry
blossoms. They're like flowers in the sky.
Spellcard 2 Chant 2
Youmu should be here to see this.
Oh, right. I sent her on an errand.

Now, now, Miss Hisami. I doubt that even

You could binge on food, or you could enjoy the
last moments of summer with me. Taaamayaaa!

Character Information
Temperament: Yu no Hana
Yu no Hana (a Touhou LW original) refers to hot spring sediments. This is an apt temperament for Yuyuko, the elegant ghost who attempts to enjoy all the tastes of summer during its final days.
"You thought I might be on a diet because I'm not carrying any food? Think again! I already ate everything with my crocodile friend here." (Strong against Fire Phase.)
"I wouldn't say I'm a glutton. I just like good food." (Strong against Water Phase.)
"Either way, since I'm a ghost, whatever I eat has incorporeal calories." (Strong against Earth Phase.)
"Here you go, Miss Hisami. Stop worrying and let's enjoy the incorporeal calories together!" (Weak to Wood Phase.)
Ability/Backstory: Capable of manipulating death (Hot Spring)
The ability of Yuyuko Saigyouji from the world obsessed with escaping the heat (a Touhou LW original). It doesn't appear to be any different from Yuyuko's original ability.
In this world, summer is forever approaching its end. In other words, it's always the last days of summer. When one season shifts into the next, the boundaries between worlds waver, causing more spirits to appear in the world of the living. While this is a common enough occurrence in Gensokyo, it's also evident in the outside world, as ancestral spirits are honored during the Bon Festival and the autumnal equinox. The animal spirits are also excited, because animal Welfare Week is in autumn. Perhaps that explains how Yuyuko managed to encounter such a rare crocodile anima.
You might be thinking that with all the spirits coming and going, the Netherworld should be incredibly busy this time of year, and you'd be right. In this world, the Netherworld is always busy. That's why Youmu couldn't come with Yuyuko to the fireworks festival. At least, that's what she tells people. In truth, Yuyuko sent Youmu somewhere else on a secret mission, and she had already finished up all the work that needed doing in the Netherworld before heading out. She hides it well, but Yuyuko is an incredibly clever ghost.
Yuyuko is best friends with Yukari Yakumo, the Youkai Sage of Gensokyo. They're such good friends, in fact, that Yuyuko can glean Yukari's plans and intentions from the smallest of hints, like the time she infiltrated the Lunar Capital. Yukari tends to talk in riddles, yet before her, Yuyuko acts like a dutiful pupil. In front of others, however, Yuyuko comes across as a sophisticated and intelligent lady with an air of mystery... quite like Yukari herself. She isn't simply a glutton. So, of course, she didn't simply visit the fireworks festival to play and sample all the food.
Gensokyo is full of suspicious individuals, yet for any one incident, there are surprisingly few suspects. Yuyuko knew this, and since she's on the same wavelength as Yukari, she was pretty sure Yukari knew this too. This wasn't the only world where the temperament had been locked into a single season. The neighboring worlds had been affected, too. There was only one person who could have done this. Having determined this, Yuyuko chose to wait and see how things played out.
"I can't eat any more, Lady Yuyuko...!"
"Already? But we're not even halfway done. So, Youmu, how's the mission going?"
"You mean you're going to eat even more?! Um, as for the mission, I'm about halfway through that too..."
"Of course. Does this look like the end of the Road of Liminality to you?"
Youmu could do nothing but stare agape as Yuyuko boldly moved down the line of festival stalls. She had assumed visiting the festival would give her a chance to rest, but it seems she still had much to learn. Admitting defeat, she returned to her mission.
Attacks
White Riverbed Crocodile
The Spread Shot of Yuyuko Saigyouji from the world obsessed with escaping the heat (a Touhou LW original). She commands a cool white crocodile to attack.
This white crocodile was put up as a prize at some stall run by the kappa. Though it isn't a living crocodile―it's a type of spirit, an anima. Yuyuko had come to the festival to eat all the yummy food, but for some reason, she was drawn to it... even though it didn't look that tasty.

Specter Fireworks
The Focus Shot of Yuyuko Saigyouji from the world obsessed with escaping the heat (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with cool handheld fireworks.
Yuyuko had left Youmu behind because she knew this battle was beyond her. She wouldn't be able to keep up. But maybe this crocodile could. Still, she couldn't help but wonder where this crocodile came from. Was it living in the Sanzu River? Wasn't there some kind of urban legend involving white crocodiles... or was that alligators?

Flowers, Birds, and a White Crocodile
A Spell Card of Yuyuko Saigyouji from the world obsessed with escaping the heat (a Touhou LW original). She cools off with her white crocodile anima.
Yuyuko hadn't planned to wander around the festival with a sobbing yomotsu-shikome, but perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. Combined with her white crocodile, it would make her much less suspicious. She had things to investigate.
"My, it's the Sanzu ferrywoman. Hello. Did you get a day off work?"
"A-Aren't you meant to be working too...? Hold up. Is she crying?"
"Oh, don't mind her."
"My, it's the clerk of Hell's checkpoint. Hello. One roast chicken, please."
"Ummm, this isn't a food stall... Wait, is she OK?"
"She's fine. Don't worry about it."

Ghostly Butterfly: Tourist Spot -Fireworks-
A Spell Card of Yuyuko Saigyouji from the world obsessed with escaping the heat (a Touhou LW original). She shoots bullets evocative of beautiful yet foreboding spots.
"Oh, it's the ghost from the Netherworld. How are you? I hope this heat hasn't gotten to you."
(Eirin Yagokoro... Out of all the people at Eientei, she's probably the easiest to talk to. But she's also the most skilled at hiding what she truly thinks. She doesn't seem to be up to anything at the moment, though.)
"Is that you, Yuyuko? Have you seen Reimu?"
(Remilia Scarlet... She and her Scarlet Devil Mansion do whatever they please. But I really doubt she has anything to do with this.)
"Good evening, Lady Yuyuko. Ummm, I don't suppose you've seen Lady Yukari anywhere, have you?"
"Lady Raaaaan, let's just give up already and eat some yakisoba. Look how much Lady Yuyuko is eating!"
"Now, now, you two have work to do, don't you?"
(Miss Hisami's gone all quiet. She must be really feeling down. I know. I'll take her to a very special spot...)

Elegant Dying Ember Blossoms
The Last Word of Yuyuko Saigyouji from the world obsessed with escaping the heat (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with fireworks, celebrating the last days of summer.
No matter how normal it may seem, if the temperament has been distorted, someone's bound to notice it eventually. It may be impossible for those who live in this world and are entirely bound by its constraints, but not for Yukari Yakumo, a youkai who manipulates boundaries. Yuyuko knows this, which is why she simply has to have faith in Yukari and follow her lead. There's no reason to doubt her or get a second opinion. Yuyuko's a ghost, after all, so she has nothing to fear.
Yuyuko glanced at Hisami standing next to her. She was looking up at the fireworks, tears streaming down her face. Yuyuko figured that while Hisami may be dangerous and unpredictable, she probably didn't have anything to do with the distorted temperament. If Hisami asked, she might even tell her where to find Zanmu Nippaku... but it was much easier to keep her placated with more grilled squid.
"See? I told you this was a great spot to see the fireworks. Buuuuut they're even better if you have something to chew on. Here you go, Miss Hisami."
"Mmph!"
