The usual outfit of the soulless Kanako from the lost world. It looks similar to a Fantasy Rebirth costume but frayed and tattered.

My name is... Kanako Yasaka? Hmm, it's strange, but that feels like a powerful name to me.
Introduction
Wh-Where... am I? Who am I...? Kanako Yasaka? Is that my name? It's no good. I can't remember. And you say this is Gensokyo? I can't remember anything, but I can tell from the wind that this is a nice place... I see. So you also lost your memory when you arrived here. You want to help me? Hehe, that's reassuring. I think I'll take you up on that kind offer. I hope I'm not too much trouble.
Purple Heart
I can't remember anything. Who am I?
Blue Heart
I went and saw Miss Kanako. She looked exactly like me. What does this mean?
Green Heart
Miss Kanako and I look identical. It brings to mind occult stories of doppelgangers. But thinking about it logically, we're probably just related or something.
Orange Heart
Miss Kanako calls herself a god. Usually, I would disregard such a statement as arrogance of the highest order... but she's remarkably convincing. I can't deny that there's something divine about her wealth of scientific knowledge and passion for business.
Pink Heart
I've discovered that while I may not be able to recall my past, I have a fairly comprehensive understanding of science and economics. A community's future is literally built with science and economics. By making clear and logical decisions, I can save my precious friends. The only problem... is that this way of thinking might make people dislike me.
Summer
I sat by the lake to cool off, and it was very relaxing. That big lake on the mountain feels as gracious and accepting as the sea.
Login
The people of Gensokyo tell me stories. It feels like they're talking about someone else, but this should help me discover who I am. Also, it seems they don't hate me as much as I feared.
Enhancement
I can do as much as humanly possible because I'm not a god.
Return
Battles of bullets kind of resemble fireworks shows, don't they? They're both dangerous if you get too close.
Home 1
I'm sure I also had a friend called Suwako and an adorable girl called Sanae. They probably existed in a different Gensokyo that is very similar to this one.
Home 2
In this Gensokyo, Miss Kanako, Suwako, and Sanae all live together at Moriya Shrine. This means that I probably had a similar life in another Gensokyo.
Home 3
What I'm describing is like some kind of parallel world. I wonder if they actually exist. My instincts tell me they do, but I could be wrong. This could be a virtual reality... or a colossal reserve.
Reaction 1
Can you tell me more about yourself again today?
Reaction 2
Oh, you look sleepy... Here, rest your head on my lap.
Reaction 3
I'm sure my past self also wanted to protect someone like this... *pats head*
Task
Tasks, huh? I might be able to help you if they're science-related.
Task Complete
Tasks complete. See, it's just like I said. For some reason, I can remember things that aren't directly related to me.
Mail
Oh, is that a letter? Where did it come from?
Errand Finished
Looks like someone's returned from an errand. Let's welcome them back.
Start of Battle
Keep walking. It doesn't matter how slow you are.
Mid-Wave
Humans have always granted their own prayers and wishes.
Victory
I can grant my wish, and you can answer your prayer. There's no need to despair.
Defeat
We have to plan for failure, and we have to keep doing that until we succeed.

Character Information
Temperament: Shiroi Oroshi
Shiroi Oroshi (a Touhou LW original) refers to a white wind blowing down from the mountains. In a world without mountain gods, this blessed wind no longer blows. Humans must take care of the mountains themselves because that is what they wished for.
This woman is a fragment of Kanako Yasaka, a god who creates heavenliness (strong against Metal Phase) and displays her power openly (strong against Sun Essence).
Incidentally, her shimenawa (the large straw rope on her back) is white because the color faded due to many years of exposure to ultraviolet light.
Ability/Backstory: - Ability Unknown -
The ability of Kanako Yasaka from the lost world of spirits (a Touhou LW original). She has completely lost her ability, and she has forgotten everything about herself.
Even though this Kanako has lost all her memories that relate in any way to who she was previously, she has retained her general knowledge and common sense. She believes herself to be nothing but an ordinary human.
She has also retained an interest in science and economics. In fact, these interests form an integral part of this Kanako's identity. This may seem strange since science and economics are often considered antithetical to faith and gods. However, this is a misconception, evidenced by how the majority of scientists, engineers, economists, and executives throughout the world believe in one god or another. Regardless, there is still a significant problem with this. Namely, that gods change with the times. Similar to how youkai evolve into new youkai, gods also evolve into something new. While they may retain their original form and aspects for a time, everything about them eventually gets replaced, just like the Ship of Theseus. When gods die, they die in obscurity. Their passing goes unremarked and unnoticed.
However, it is not only gods that die. Science and economics will eventually die, too. Whether this should be the case or not is irrelevant. It is the fate of all aspects of culture to be replaced with something new. In time, all things end up in Gensokyo.
Attacks
Obsolete God's Storm
The Spread Shot of Kanako Yasaka from the lost world of spirits (a Touhou LW original). Lost divine whirlwinds attack her foes. This Kanako can't shoot any bullets. But then again, perhaps that's normal. No one should be able to shoot bullets like this. At least, that's what Kanako thinks. She is constantly searching for a logical explanation for the strange phenomenon where fireworks suddenly appear around her.
Bullets
Lost Storm
Faint Storm
Faded Storm
Weak Storm
Silent Storm
Dead Storm
Lean Onbashira
The Focus Shot of Kanako Yasaka from the lost world of spirits (a Touhou LW original). Lost onbashira attack her foes. Science is the belief that even if something can't be explained right now, it will eventually be understood in the future. No matter how strange and mysterious it may seem, the fact that Kanako can fly indicates that she must have the means to do so. And if there's a means, it can be explained with science. Even if the means is magical, divine, or supernatural in nature... given enough time, it can always be broken down and replicated with science.

Collapsed Mountain
A Spell Card of Kanako Yasaka from the lost world of spirits (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with the lost faith in the mountains. Humans weren't able to abandon their gods. The gods didn't die. At least not in the way that a certain philosopher said they had.
Looking at the world as a whole, most people believe in some kind of god. True atheists are a scant minority. In Japan, where the Yaoyorozu no Kami gather, it is almost impossible to erase every trace of every god from people's hearts. So, when do gods die?

Discolored Authority
A Spell Card of Kanako Yasaka from the lost world of spirits (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with her lost divine spirit authority. The gods will surely die the moment humans attain full knowledge of everything in their perceivable world.

Decayed Onbashira
The Last Word of Kanako Yasaka from the lost world of spirits (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a lost divine festival. Generally, experts or specialists in a particular field tend to have faith in something because they have an acute awareness of the world's mysteries and their own lack of knowledge. They are also driven to uncover these mysteries. The first place where gods die would probably be in the hearts of foolish people who live day-to-day ambivalent to the world around them.
However, nowadays, everyone is supported by systems devised and put in place by wise experts working together with fools, so the majority of people have lost all interest in pursuing the truth. Human-devised systems can satiate hunger and surface-level desires much more effectively than gods, and in the end, that's what most people prioritize.
