It seems that you know of me. Yes, I am the famous Princess Kaguya, Kaguya Houraisan.
Introduction
It seems that you know of me. Yes, I am the famous Princess Kaguya, Kaguya Houraisan. I used to be a Lunarian, and now I am a person of Hourai, but you needn't concern yourself with all that. Regardless of my immortality, I seek enjoyment in the present, just like any human. I'm curious how you will entertain me and ease the burden of monotony that comes with eternity.
Purple Heart
So, does the real Princess Kaguya live up to your expectations from the story?
Blue Heart
With your lack of immortality, you will die if you keep being so reckless.
Green Heart
If you genuinely think it is OK to die in the act of saving someone else, you truly are an idiot.
Orange Heart
Listen, you only get one life. It is incredibly vain and selfish to not care about your own mortality or try and accomplish something irrespective of the risk to your life. Not a moment will pass where those left behind won't lament your death and wish you were still there...
Pink Heart
When you have lived as long as I have, you will be forced to continually experience the feeling of being left behind by the death of others. My sole wish is for those people to live a full life without regret.
Summer
With weather this hot, it is the absolute worst when that blazing hot girl full of energy comes looking for a battle. Why can she not just bring me some ice instead?
Login
Welcome back. Your time is not limitless like my own. So you must not waste a single hour, minute, second, or instant.
Enhancement
No matter how old I become, it is still a joy to improve.
Return
Yes, I returned just now... Oh? Why do you look so surprised?
Home 1
You almost fell in a pitfall trap just now, did you not? You should be more careful as the area around Eientei is covered with traps set by Inaba.
Home 2
Eirin has been quite harsh with me lately. So I have decided to start working seriously too. Now, give me a job to do.
Home 3
My relationship with Mokou is complicated due to what happened in the past. But they say the more you fight to the death, the closer your friendship... What? I said it wrong?
Reaction 1
Don't stare at me like that. You will make me blush.
Reaction 2
It is exciting to venture out of the bamboo forest.
Reaction 3
Oh, do you wish to converse with me?
Task
Attempting my impossible tasks would be more worthwhile than doing these ones.
Task Complete
Well done. Inaba and the others could learn a thing or two from you.
Mail
Speaking of mail... There once was a time when I received countless love letters from suitors.
Errand Finished
Someone seems to have returned from an errand. Go forthwith and see what they brought back.
Start of Battle
Can you complete my impossible tasks?
Mid-Wave
Couldn't you have held out a little longer?
Victory
I should not have got my hopes up as it was bound to end up like this.
Defeat
Ouch. Just because I am immortal, it doesn't mean you have to be so violent!

Character Information
Temperament: Juugoya
Juugoya (a Touhou LW original) refers to the 15th night of the 8th month of the old Japanese calendar when the moon is full. An apt temperament for the princess of the moon. Kaguya is endowed with Water Phase, from her beauty and severity, and with Moon Essence, as she only occasionally shows herself to others.
The flexible and patient Water Phase resists Metal Phase, because metal collects water, but it is weak to Earth Phase, because earth directs water.
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 manipulating eternity and the instantaneous
The extent of Kaguya Houraisan's ability is shrouded in mystery. However, one thing is certain―it is one of the most powerful abilities in Gensokyo, the far side of the moon, and all of the other worlds. This ability made it possible to achieve the incredibly complex and challenging task of hiding Eientei from history. Eirin also used Kaguya's ability to create a medicine of eternal youth and immortality―the Hourai Elixir. It is said that Kaguya drank the Hourai Elixir because she was curious about life on the earth. Somewhat fitting for an impetuous princess, she risked everything on a spur-of-the-moment whim even though she was a being with an almost eternal lifespan... But she says that she doesn't regret it in the slightest.
Attacks
Jeweled Branch
Kaguya Houraisan's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She shoots out beads of light from her jeweled branch of Hourai. According to legend, the jeweled branch of Hourai adsorbed impurities and grew into a fruit-bearing udonge tree that is said to only flower once every 3000 years. This caused a war to break out over who would gain possession of these jewel-like fruits.

Radiant Rainbows
Kaguya Houraisan's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She unleashes beams of rainbow light in this attack. It is said that rainbows are the roads that dragons use to travel to and from heaven, and there is speculation that the Lunar Capital is, in fact, Ryuuguu, the dragon palace...

Divine Treasure: Buddhist Diamond
Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Card. She attacks by dispersing light through a mystical and exceptionally hard gemstone. The stone begging bowl of the Buddha is a holy artifact, but it seems that the one Kaguya possesses is merely a replica. It is apparently possible to create artificial diamonds from any material that contains carbon, even a corpse. All that is needed is enough heat and pressure... which are aspects of eternity and the instantaneous.

Divine Treasure: Salamander Shield
Kaguya Houraisan's Spell Card. She charges forward with a fireproof shield that is enveloped in flames. The robe of fire-rat skins... was apparently a robe made out of asbestos, but Kaguya's is most likely a replica. This item is perhaps the main reason why Mokou can never defeat her. It should be impossible to fabricate the perfect fireproof material, so aspects of eternity and the instantaneous may also be involved in this artifact's creation.

Hourai's Sea of Trees
Kaguya Houraisan's Last Word. There is no escape for anyone who enters this sea of trees. Perhaps it is a type of trap that prevents all forms of navigation. According to Chinese mythology, Hourai is a legendary land where immortal hermits live. However, some people consider Houraisan (the sacred mountain that rises up above the land of Hourai) as being the same mountain as Mount Fuji. In the tale of the Bamboo Cutter, the elixir of immortality was burned at the place closest to the moon, which is said to be how Mount Fuji got its name, as fushi (the Japanese word for immortality) can also be pronounced as fuji.

Skills

The noble princess of the moon was exiled down to the impure earth. However, she found many friends down there.

The Japanese word for instant, shuuyu, also means one quadrillionth. The metric equivalent is the femto prefix.

Her unreasonable requests were so grand that it became a story. Only the princess herself knows her true motives behind them.
