I'm Sannyo Komakusa, a yamajorou. I also run a gambling parlor, but please don't call me Komakusa-dayuu unless I'm working.
Introduction
What's going on? I thought some rioter was out to get me, but then I find myself at the shrine down below... How strange. Hello, little missy. Are you one of the shrine maiden's friends? My name is Sannyo, but most people call me Komakusa-dayuu. I'm a yamajorou, and I run a gambling parlor. Don't be scared. I'd hate to cause a fuss.
Purple Heart
This smoke affects people's minds. You probably shouldn't breathe any in.
Blue Heart
I kinda like babysitting. Taking care of you is no trouble at all.
Green Heart
Gambling dens are melting pots where various opinions and emotions are exchanged and contested along with coins. They're sophisticated markets for a different kinda business than what the yamawaro deal with.
Orange Heart
Oh, really? So that's what the poison doll and that quack doctor have been studying, huh? You're right that my ability might help them out, but I'm more worried about how it might affect you.
Pink Heart
I'd like to say you should leave the resolution of this big incident thing to us youkai. We've lived way longer than you have... But unfortunately, we've got no choice but to rely on you. Small children shouldn't have to bear such heavy responsibilities...
Summer
I saw the werewolf in the bamboo forest the other day. I really love her dress with its pampas grass and full moon design. It makes me wish autumn was here already.

I thought about hosting some games here at the shrine, but that other shrine maiden said it'd "disturb the peace." She was such a cute little cop.
Enhancement
My smoke is even more potent now. It's dangerous, so stay back, OK?
Return
That was a wonderful battle of bullets. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
Home 1
You know Nemuno, right? The yamanba? We get along pretty well since we're kinda like youkai relatives. Though we mostly just talk about how to care for children.
Home 2
Part of my job as the owner of a gambling parlor is to manage the finances. The yamawaro lend me a hand if I need to transport any coins... even though they're also my customers. Gambling helps fuel the economy, after all.
Home 3
A pair of sisters came to play one day. The younger one was wearing this fancy getup, but the older sister looked half-starved. They cried when they lost everything and said they "should've just possessed someone else to play." They're pretty disgraceful for gods, huh?
Reaction 1
I smell nice? You're such a silly kid.

Are you sleepy? Here, rest your head on my lap.

Sleep, sleep, little child.

Character Information
Temperament: Shien
Shien (a Touhou LW original) refers to purple-colored smoke, particularly the smoke from tobacco. This is an apt temperament for Sannyo, who smokes while running her gambling den. Sannyo is endowed with Fire Phase, the element of smoke, and Sun Essence, since she maintains order in her gambling den.
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 alluring and arrogant Sun Essence resists the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of controlling people's minds with tobacco smoke
Sannyo Komakusa's ability as a yamajorou. She can apparently use tobacco smoke to control the mood of a place and manipulate the minds of everyone there. This is quite a strong ability, evidenced by how it affects not only kappa and yamawaro but tengu as well. Sannyo is also called Komakusa-dayuu, presumably as a title of respect for her position as a gambling den owner.
Altering minds by burning incense has historically been the purview of shamans. They burned incense for religious rites and rituals, to heal people, and, presumably, to further political agendas. Considering the relationship between gambling houses and shrines, as well as the connections between yamajorou and shrine maidens, Sannyo Komakusa's ability may derive from the bygone shrine maiden profession of an earlier age.
Yamajorou youkai and yamanba are closely related, and they are often thought to be either the exact same type of youkai or variants of the same species. They are also called yamahime or yama-onna. However, in all the tales and legends, only yamajorou are said to love tobacco. Apparently, you can even buy some time to escape from a yamajorou by scattering tobacco as a distraction. Similar to yamanba, many tales depict yamajorou as being kind to children.
There is a yamanba named Nemuno Sakata in Gensokyo who prefers to live in isolation and refuses to let others enter her territory. Sannyo, on the other hand, holds gambling events in various places all over Gensokyo, including the Human Village. It's quite astounding how two similar youkai can be so different.
Also, please note that humans shouldn't visit Sannyo's gambling den on the Youkai Mountain under any circumstances. Wait patiently until an event is held in the village.
Attacks
Distant Memory
Sannyo Komakusa's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). Kumomagusa bloom in this attack. Kumomagusa, a type of rockfoil plant, means "a distant memory" in the language of flowers... It's such a sad and emotional message.
Bullets
Yamajorou's Memory
Yamahime's Memory
Yama-Onna's Memory
Niiyomejo's Memory
Mountain God's Memory
Yamanba's Memory
Flowers High Out of Reach
Sannyo Komakusa's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). Komakusa bloom in this attack. Komakusa is called the queen of highland plants because its glorious pale pink flowers bring color to the desolate mountaintops. Komakusa means "something unobtainable," "a prize out of reach," or "supreme beauty." It was named komakusa with the kanji for "horse" and "grass" because the shape of the flowers resembles a horse's head. They have been used as ingredients in divine remedies since ancient times, even though they are toxic.

Remote Flower
Reclusive Flower
Transcendental Flower

Self-Reliant Flower
Supreme Flower
Mountain Sign: Heaven-Shaking Kumomagusa
Sannyo Komakusa's Spell Card. Kumomagusa flowers dance in this attack. These plants were named kumomagusa with the kanji for "cloud," "opening," and "grass" because they grow so high up on the mountains that you can see them through the gaps in the clouds. Kumomagusa have small white flowers and are resistant to the cold. However, they are exceedingly rare and are at risk of becoming extinct.

Mountain Flower: Komakusa of Massacre
Sannyo Komakusa's Spell Card. She fires bullets tinged with the scent of komakusa smoke. Incense and tobacco share a common origin in that they were both heavily used in shamanistic rites and rituals. Considering how the chemicals in smoke can affect people's minds, it makes sense that those of the ancient past thought it was magic. Incense was also used as a kind of inhaled medicine. Yamajorou youkai and shrine maidens are closely connected, so perhaps it is only natural that Sannyo would use smoke and incense in her attacks.

Purple Haze Dragon
Sannyo Komakusa's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a great cloud of smoke that takes the form of a purple dragon. Is it just an illusion, or is it as good as the real thing since you can see and touch it? Interfering with someone's mind is practically the same as altering that person's perception of reality. Their only hope is to wake up before it's too late...
