The usual outfit of Byakuren from the lost world of philosophers. It resembles her Fantasy Rebirth outfit but looks worn out.

Byakuren Hijiri...? Yes, that's my name. I'm sure of it.
Introduction
I don't want to die. I didn't want to die. Only that memory has stayed with me. There's nothing else. This is a lovely place. Even though I've never seen it before, it feels nostalgic. But that's not all... Byakuren Hijiri? Is that my name? It's strange, but I think you're right. That name is like this place. You'll answer any questions I have? Thank you. I have much to learn, so I'd be eternally grateful. Hm? My legs? This tail seems to be some kind of stage prop. My legs are inside it. Perhaps I was an actress before I lost my memory. I feel like I might have performed the story of Yaobikuni.
Purple Heart
I'm guessing this isn't just a problem with my memory.
Blue Heart
You're right. The Byakuren Hijiri who lives here looks exactly like me.
Green Heart
It seems Miss Byakuren is the head priest of a temple. She has lots of disciples.
Orange Heart
Miss Byakuren spoke to me about her late brother. And how his passing caused her to fear for her own death and go against the teachings of her faith... I can't believe that such an inspiring woman would do that.
Pink Heart
There's no way that immortality or magic exists in real life. But Miss Byakuren didn't sound like she was lying. And besides... even if she once lost her way after losing her brother, she is now looking toward the future. She's an incredibly strong woman.
Autumn
The coming of autumn is a painful reminder that nothing lasts forever. This is not a punishment or a curse. Destruction is simply a part of order.

The disciples at Myouren Temple are so very good to me. Miss Ichirin, Miss Minamitsu, Miss Nazrin, Miss Shou, Kogasa, and Kyouko. I've remembered all their names.
Enhancement
These new memories will surely guide me.
Return
Bullets are also beautiful because they're fleeting.
Home 1
Miss Mami and Miss Nue came to check up on me. They told me so many stories, each one stranger and funnier than the last. I couldn't stop laughing.
Home 2
A girl named Joon gave me a big hug. Is she training at the temple? She is very kind.
Home 3
I must have had a brother, too. He's surely watching over me from somewhere, smiling down at his foolish sister who can't even remember him.
Reaction 1
Are you tired? You can sleep on my lap if you want.
Reaction 2
*pats head* I feel like I've stroked someone's hair like this before.
Reaction 3
I'm sure my brother also used to sleep on my lap like this...
Task
You doing all these tasks is really impressive. Can I do that thing when you're done? The head pats.
Task Complete
You saw it through to the end. Well done. Here's your reward. *pats head*
Mail
A letter? This is proof that someone cares about you.
Errand Finished
Someone's returned. Let's go see how they went.
Start of Battle
Let's go. The curtain will soon rise.
Mid-Wave
Plays will always end eventually.
Victory
A never-ending play would be Hell. No end means no salvation.
Defeat
I must keep performing until the end. This is a disgrace.

Spellcard 2 Chant 1
Suffering comes from your own attachments.
I'm hurting myself, and you're hurting yourself.
Spellcard 2 Chant 2
As we try to get closer, we get further apart. If
we stop, we can support each other. Hopefully.

Last Word Chant 1
My brother shared his teachings with me, but
I forgot them. I even stopped mourning him.
Last Word Chant 2
I miserably clung to life, fearing my beloved
brother's scorn... I only thought about myself.

Character Information
Temperament: Shiroi Kasagumo
Shiroi Kasagumo (a Touhou LW original) refers to white cap clouds, an extremely common type of cloud that strangely tends to stand out in the sky. Everything in this world is transitory. There is not a single thing that stays the same forever. Rather, everything is in a constant state of change, decline, and decay.
She is a fragment of Byakuren Hijiri, a heretical monk who shelters youkai (strong against Fire Phase) and the Grand Acharya who shares the teachings of Buddha (strong against Sun Essence).
Ability/Backstory: - Ability Unknown -
The ability of Byakuren Hijiri from the lost world of philosophers (a Touhou LW original). She has completely lost her ability and has forgotten everything about herself.
However, she has retained an inconsolable fear of death. She doesn't want to die. She desperately doesn't want to die. This is different from the bravado shown by the youth who pretend that death is something that only happens to other people. She is simply terrified of death. She is also scared that she might sacrifice everything else to avoid it―wealth, honor, social standing... and even the people most dear to her.
For some reason, this Byakuren has the traits of a sage, a philosopher. While she is certainly wise, this is more than that. "Sage" has a special meaning in Gensokyo, referring to the powerful beings who created and nurtured it. There may be a world where Byakuren became one of those sages, but this Byakuren is something different.
While fearing death and clinging to life might not directly lead to murder, it does, in a sense, steal life from others. To live, one must have a roof over their head, clothes on their back, and food in their stomach. When they die, these can be given to someone else. In essence, to live forever is to continually feed on the chance for new lives to take root, to consume lives before they are even born.
That is why suffering is not Hell. Death is not Hell. True Hell is eternal life. The Hourai Elixir should never be taken. Even wanting it is a mistake.
Attacks
Heretical Magic of Eternal Youth
The Spread Shot of Byakuren Hijiri from the lost world of philosophers (a Touhou LW original). A lost heretical attack.
This Byakuren dreams of bullet battles. She doesn't think they're real, and she doubts she ever will. It's like she's performing as someone else in a play. However, no matter how long she stands on the stage, there is no applause. The crowd only applauds once the play ends.

The Focus Shot of Byakuren Hijiri from the lost world of philosophers (a Touhou LW original). A lost superhuman attack.
Byakuren feels a longing, a thirst for life. However, she does not press on through the pain of the present in the hope of a brighter future. She stumbles backward, gaze locked on her dark past. That is how she lived, and how she continues to live now.

Hidden Mermaid Meat From the Dragon Palace
The Last Word of Byakuren Hijiri from the lost world of philosophers (a Touhou LW original). An attack reminiscent of lost teachings.
"I am a contradiction. The woman called Byakuren, who looks exactly like me, said she had a little brother. His death changed her. Seeing him willingly accept his own death heightened her fear of it. She sacrificed so much to try and escape death, and she half succeeded. She attained a body that can live far longer than any normal human... Deep in my heart, I felt that her story is my story. But how can I be sure? Did I ever have anything that I would go to such lengths to protect?"
