I'm Hina Kagiyama, a goddess of misfortune. I cannot bear all the misfortune of this big incident, but I can relieve you of the misfortune you suffer from in your everyday life.
Introduction
...Huh? W-Wait! Don't get so close to me! I'm Hina Kagiyama, a nagashi-bina and a goddess of misfortune. You should be crossing your fingers and hoping you don't get cursed... Ooh, I see, there's no more misfortune to go around because of all the trouble with this incident going on. I think I can help out a little. Come on, give me all the misfortune and hardships you can. Don't hold back.
Purple Heart
Your misfortune is kind of like a foreign currency to me.
Blue Heart
Although misfortune doesn't seem to affect you much directly, it may cause trouble for you in a roundabout manner.
Green Heart
Although rare, some beings are hardly affected at all by misfortune. Like celestials who have extraordinary good luck and poverty gods who have a fixed and unchanging amount of fortune. You are somewhat different though.
Orange Heart
I was thinking that if we resolved this incident, you may be able to give me the biggest, most unlucky hunk of misfortune ever. That's why I'm willing to help you out... Wh-What? There's no other reason. I just want to collect misfortune, that's all!
Pink Heart
I am but a vessel designed to deliver misfortune to the gods... I suppose you could say I'm the opposite of a divine emissary, as I go from humans to gods, not the other way around. That's why I'm glad that I'm able to help out. It's part of my duty, you see.
Summer
It's so hot... Natural disasters and accidents happen more often this time of year, so make sure to get cleansed of misfortune. It's best to avoid bad luck if you can.
Login
Lots of people say "engacho" and cross their fingers to ward off misfortune when they see me, but most sound grateful when they do it. It seems that they understand the role that nagashi-bina play.
Enhancement
I've accumulated more misfortune. Thank you.
Return
I collected quite a lot of misfortune in that last battle of bullets.
Home 1
Misfortune flows from regions with a higher concentration to those with lower concentrations, all on its own. That's why it flows out from me to people when they stand near me.
Home 2
I use my ability to control the flow of misfortune and direct it toward me. So I should be able to prevent misfortune from transferring to people who get too close... I just have to focus!
Home 3
Nitori made a misfortune vacuum cleaner and experimented to see if it could be used to approach me safely. It actually worked... Though it blew up a short time later.
Reaction 1
A new form of misfortune was detected in masu salmon!
Reaction 2
You should cross your fingers just in case, OK?
Reaction 3
Don't worry, it'll take more than that to keep me away.
Task
A task... We should make sure to prepare before taking it on. Shall I go check what we'll need?
Task Complete
Well done in successfully completing that task. I'm impressed.
Mail
There's some mail for you. I can read it out for you if you're busy.
Errand Finished
It seems like someone's returned from a task. Let's go and welcome them back.
Start of Battle
All right, give me all of your misfortune.
Mid-Wave
There's still much more misfortune I have to collect. *sigh* I'm just so busy.
Victory
I collected a whole lot of misfortune. I suppose I should thank you.
Defeat
Don't tell me we lost because of the misfortune emanating out of me... But no, that shouldn't happen...!

Character Information
Temperament: Tatsumaki
Tatsumaki (a Touhou LW original) refers to a tornado, which is a violently rotating thin column of air that extends from the earth to the clouds. This temperament embodies Hina's duty of collecting misfortune on the ground and delivering it up to the gods. Hina is endowed with Fire Phase, with her unending and relentless responsibility, and Moon Essence, as she is a being estranged from the daily life of humans.
The formless and passionate Fire Phase resists Wood Phase, because wood feeds fire, but it is weak to Water Phase, because water dampens fire.
The cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of stockpiling misfortune
The flow of misfortune is an important cycle in the world of Gensokyo and it is Hina's ability and duty to uphold it. The concept of misfortune is mysterious and abstract. It is similar to sin or impurity, or perhaps both. The distinguishing characteristic of misfortune is that it can be transferred to someone else and then washed away to some far off distant place. It is said that there are three major ways in which someone can gain misfortune. The first way is fairly similar to sin and impurity in that it is dealt out by a godlike being. The second is when it occurs naturally. The concept of yakudoshi, which is a traditional Japanese belief that certain ages are unlucky, is an example of this as the misfortune naturally occurs from the changes in one's body and their age. The final way is when misfortune is applied by other people, also known as a curse. Most humans cannot deliberately cast a curse on someone, so misfortune generally only accumulates due to people cursing others inadvertently or with only the faintest awareness that they are doing so. Even if this is the case, the curse will still take affect and misfortune will accumulate over time, which could threaten the life or cause disaster for the one cursed. This is why many villages and communities perform rituals to cleanse misfortune. Nagashi-bina is one of these rituals. It involves placing dolls in small boats and floating them down a river, carrying the sins and impurities of their former owners with them. However, the nagashi-bina ritual only came to be this way after many years of tradition. It probably involved floating something other than dolls down the river at first. Hina could know the truth of this ritual's history and may be bearing it along with the weight of her very important responsibility.
Attacks
Scapegoat
Hina Kagiyama's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She releases goats in the direction of her target. The term scapegoat is used to indicate a being who is blamed and punished for the sins of others. In the past, rituals were performed where a goat was released into the wilderness, taking all the sins of the community away with it.
Bullets
Blame Bearing Goat
Goat of Atonement
Substitute Goat
Sin Bearing Goat
Sacrificial Goat
Victimized Goat
Hand of Fatima
Hina Kagiyama's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots out lasers from a magical amulet in this attack. This amulet is a charm that is said to ward off the evil eye, a curse originating from malicious gazes. Apparently, it is possible to curse someone with the evil eye inadvertently.

Wound Sign: Pain Flow
Hina Kagiyama's Spell Card. She attacks by altering the flow of water into the shape of thorny vines. A certain magician wrote about this attack in a book and described it as transforming flowing water into spines. You could say that this Spell Card expresses nagashi-bina, as they are dolls that flow in the water and bear their previous owner's pain.

Scar: Broken Charm of Protection
Hina Kagiyama's Spell Card. The magical energy of a curse is released from a broken charm. Many protective charms and talismans fulfill their purpose by breaking. After a charm takes a curse in place of their owner, the accumulated magical curse energy gets sent somewhere else... Apparently.

Misfortune Purifying Dyson Sphere
Hina Kagiyama's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This attack attempts to suck out all the sins, impurities, and misfortune from the target. This spectacular Last Word is named after a hypothetical space megastructure. Nitori happened to see Hina testing out this bullet attack and decided to give it this name because she thought it looked similar to what was described in a text from the outside that she had read. Hina's duty is to gather misfortune and deliver it to the gods. She accomplishes this by bearing the sentiments of beings from all over Gensokyo. People try to avoid contact with her by crossing their fingers and saying "engacho." It is thanks to this that she can properly fulfill her duty in shouldering others' misfortune.

Skills
Skill: Misfortune Ward
Charms and talismans protect against misfortune and were often given as gifts in the past. This is why there is a similar custom of giving jewelry as gifts nowadays.
Skill: Pain Drain
Hina's duty is to bear pain, misfortune, and disaster in place of others. Everyone is able to rest easy thanks to her efforts.
Skill: Bad Luck Spiral
It's dangerous to get close to her without any sort of protection. If only there was some sort of item that counteracts misfortune...
