Character Information

Temperament: Kuroi Hyou
Kuroi Hyou (a Touhou LW original) refers to theatrical hail stained black by the other side of the looking-glass. This Alice is endowed with the temperament of theater music magic not bound by the laws of gravity (strong against Wood Phase), and magic that can manipulate the threads of gravity (strong against Earth Phase).
Ability/Backstory: - Ability Unknown -
The ability of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). Unlike the abilities of other Alices, this Alice's ability is shrouded in mystery. This Alice's title is the Lady of Magical Hues. Of all the masterminds, she is the least radical and most open to discussion. Alice generally wields doll-manipulating magic, so it can be safely assumed that this Alice wields it too. However, this Alice has a Secret Seal. Secret Seal is the tentative term used to describe some kind of phenomenon, trait, or factor that can be used to modify known concepts, such as abilities. The effects of each Secret Seal are unique to the individual. This Alice is believed to have either a Doll Secret Seal or a Magic Secret Seal, both of which are extreme interpretations of Alice's ability taken in different directions. Basically, the leading theory at the moment is that Secret Seals are extreme interpretations of abilities. If the masterminds were truly evil, they could never have caused the Lost Word Incident. Such is the nature of evil. It is subjective. While some may see them as evil, in another context, they might even be the good guys. This doesn't just apply to them―it applies to everyone. The masterminds' ambitions aren't evil, either. They couldn't be. So, what are they after? What are they seeking to accomplish? They wish to avoid the Final End. All observable Gensokyos, no matter what path they follow, are destined to end. The masterminds wish to avoid this by making at least one Gensokyo survive, to persist beyond this end. They are building a Noah's Ark, a global seed vault, a Satellite TORIFUNE... They're building a museum. Museums don't simply exist to hoard items and preserve them. They perform a vital role for the public. By collecting the smallest possible samples of things that will eventually be lost, they can share memories with later generations. That is the only way things like civilization, culture, and art can persist. The masterminds don't always see eye to eye, but they all seem to recognize the value of this endeavor. This Alice embarked on an impossibly long journey to find what they needed to avoid the Final End. That is what led her here.

Attacks

Illusion Machine

The Spread Shot of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She directs her draconic dolls to play music. To avoid the Final End, the masterminds need a Gensokyo. But all the observable Gensokyos are fated to end. To break this paradox, they must create a Gensokyo that can face the end and persist beyond it. All the masterminds share this same goal, even though they may disagree on how to achieve it.

Dream Machine

The Focus Shot of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She directs her draconic dolls to investigate. This Alice Margatroid is one of the masterminds. In fact, she is the most friendly and approachable of their number. Unlike the others, she's happy to work with any of her fellow masterminds. She isn't even that aggressive toward those who oppose them. This is probably due to her personality from before she became a mastermind. Though it's also possible that, since her ability was affected by a Secret Seal, she has come to treasure the invisible bonds that bind people together like magical threads. It seems she can travel between worlds through such bonds combined with the resonance of musical scores that accompany plays.

Dragon Doll: Last Band's Maestra

A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She orchestrates her draconic dolls in this attack. It is believed that there are as many masterminds as there are denizens of Gensokyo. Lady of Fantasy and Lady Genso are their de facto leaders. However, the Lady of Shooting Stars is the one who actually does all the work. This Alice, the Lady of Magical Hues, considers the Lady of Fantasy and the Lady of Shooting Stars to be her precious friends. That is a big reason why she set out on her journey―to help them.

Dragon Doll: Girls' Silk Road

A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She orchestrates her draconic dolls in this attack. Yousoukyo is their tentative name for the not-yet-complete Gensokyo―the Gensokyo that will help them avoid the Final End. Beyond the Final End, in the next cycle, the seed of new Gensokyo will sprout. To turn this seed into a vessel capable of becoming Yousoukyo, they must strengthen it by packing it full of fantastical concepts. The Lady of Shooting Stars and the other masterminds are searching for these concepts, while Alice searches for the seed, the vessel... Though maybe she has already found it.

Shanghai Yousoukyo - Hourai Legend

The Last Word of Alice Margatroid seeking to avoid the Final End (a Touhou LW original). She seeks paradise in this attack. The masterminds gather memories as they journey through repeated Fantasy Regressions. However, it is incredibly difficult to judge which memories to keep and which to throw away. Modern data storage media can deteriorate after a few dozen years, whereas words carved into stone millennia ago can still be read today. This has been a major headache for the masterminds, causing them to repeatedly lose and rediscover the same memories. However, they believed that as long as Alice, the Lady of Magical Hues, secured a vessel for Yousoukyo, all their struggles would be worth it. The vessel for Yousoukyo is an empty Gensokyo, a neotenic paradise, a child that never grows up, a thing that is yet not something, a thing that cannot become anything... Finally, Alice has found it.

Bullets
  • Ode to Yousoukyo
  • Great Ode to Yousoukyo
  • Magical Ode to Yousoukyo
  • Theatrical Ode to Yousoukyo
  • Legendary Ode to Yousoukyo
