Welcome... Whoops! Ahem, my name is Kosuzu Motoori. You can usually find me working at Suzunaan, the book rental shop in the Human Village.
Introduction
Welcome... Whoops! Ahem, my name is Kosuzu Motoori. You can usually find me working at Suzunaan, the book rental shop in the Human Village. We've got heaps of books from the outside world, so come on by if you want. Also, I'm a little interested in resolving that incident of yours. Can I tag along with you? I promise not to be a bother and I'm sure there's something even I can do to help... though I am a bit scared.
Purple Heart
Is it that strange that I'm interested in resolving the incident? It's normal, right?
Blue Heart
Oh yeah, you're always holding a book too. What's written in it?
Green Heart
Although I'm a normal human, I want to make friends with youkai and fairies. Don't you think it's better to actually experience things firsthand, rather than just believing what you're told?
Orange Heart
Of course I want to help you resolve the incident, but even more than that I want to experience things firsthand and challenge myself. Because that's what the authors who write good books do.
Pink Heart
I think I've started to take a bit of an interest in you. You're my incident resolver helper who appeared out of nowhere! You're also kind of like a protagonist in a young adult novel with your memory loss, don't you think? Maybe if I stick with you, I could become the heroine... Hehehe.
Summer
I heard that there's a wonderful device called an air conditioner in the outside world! I have to get one somehow and put it in Suzunaan!
Login
Welcome, hehe. What kind of story are you going to show me today? I'm really looking forward to it.
Enhancement
I'm feeling the same joy I get when I'm excited to read a new book!
Return
I'm back. Now I can finally read the rest of my book.
Home 1
I also want to try writing a book. But what should I write about...? Huh? Who else is writing books? Umm, that's a secret.
Home 2
We deal in everything from young adult fiction to technical books. We even deal in books from the outside. I can read them all, but I don't really understand what a lot of them are talking about.
Home 3
I only rent out demon books to a select few. Come tell me if you ever need one, OK? I'll assess whether it's OK to lend them to you!
Reaction 1
Kyaa?! D-Don't scare me like that!
Reaction 2
Maybe I should try writing something too.
Reaction 3
Here's Agatha Chris Q.'s new book!
Task
A new task is in stock... you get it? All right, good luck with the task.
Task Complete
I see you've finished a task. Could I interest you in a book to read on your break?
Mail
You've got some mail. Let me read it after you're done, OK?
Errand Finished
It looks like someone has come back. Let's go and ask what they saw!
Start of Battle
I'm a little nervous, but I've got to do this!
Mid-Wave
Umm, it looks like there's more of them!
Victory
That went well! I'd love to compile my deeds into a book one day.
Defeat
Aww... I'll get stronger and have my revenge someday!

Character Information
Temperament: Naga-ame
Naga-ame (a Touhou LW original) refers to rainfall that lasts for a long time. When it rains for days on end, it is the perfect time to read books, which makes this temperament a good fit for the face of the Suzunaan book rental shop. Kosuzu is endowed with Wood Phase, as she works in a bookstore, and Star Essence, with her highly curious personality.
The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.
The diverse and uncooperative Star Essence resists the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence, but it is weak to the charming and arrogant Sun Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of reading any language
Kosuzu Motoori is capable of reading any language, even languages used by youkai, as long as the text is made up of symbols that can be perceived as letters or characters. Consequently she can read any and all demon books. There seems to be no limit to the type or amount of languages that she can read. She has been seen reading a demon book written in the ancient tengu language and Suzunaan deals with handwritten copies of magic books from the outside. However, even if the symbols on a text are in fact letters, Kosuzu can only read it if she herself recognises that these symbols are a form of letters or characters.
Her ability appears to still be evolving as she has gained the capability to sense the aura of books. This may or may not be related to Kosuzu's ability, but in the outside world there is a peculiar theory that recorded information could be transformed into energy. If this is true, it may mean that every book is imbued with some sort of magic...
Attacks
Chopstick Tsukumogami
Kosuzu Motoori's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She uses her Privately Published Night Parade Scroll to turn chopsticks into tsukumogami and attack with them. Kosuzu doesn't know much about tsukumogami, which are tools that move on their own, but she thinks they look cute.

Evil Dragon Print
Kosuzu Motoori's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). An attack that summons the shadow of an evil young dragon. Although it's small, a dragon is still a dragon and should not be underestimated. It seems that a fair amount of magic is contained within this print.

Original Text: Hotsuma Tsutae
Kosuzu Motoori's Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). She unleashes this attack by borrowing the power stored in a mysterious history book. Opinion is divided on whether this document, written with mysterious characters that are said to have been used in ancient Japan, can actually be called a history book or not. Nevertheless, it is most definitely a document that borders the line between fantasy and reality.

Privately Published Night Parade Scroll - Final Chapter Annex
Kosuzu Motoori's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This attack summons the shadow of an extremely large tsukumogami. Kosuzu barely remembers anything of the time when she was possessed by this particular tsukumogami. Mamizou was apparently the one who returned this scroll to her, though it is unclear whether this is the original or an exquisitely crafted forgery...
