I'm Toyosatomimi no Miko. Oh, I see that you're no ordinary human. I realized that immediately. All right then... tell me your story.
Introduction
I'm Toyosatomimi no Miko. So you are the human whose name is on everyone's lips, are you? Someone else may have been fooled, but I realized right away that you are no ordinary human... because I can clearly hear your desires―the sounds of what you wish for. I hear that you want this incident resolved. And you do not merely pray for its resolution but can significantly contribute to making it so... I detect no falsehoods whatsoever. Tell me your story.
Purple Heart
I shall train you in my dojo. Come to the new Divine Spirit Mausoleum.
Blue Heart
As you know, I am not just a hermit. But I have my reasons for taking this path.
Green Heart
Taking Seiga's advice into account, I led the people with Buddhism and displayed my power and authority over the nation with Shinto as a politician. My connection with Taoism was kept secret from the people.
Orange Heart
I did all this so I could live longer and lead the nation for eternity. I have acquired the body of a hermit, and Futo and Tojiko are by my side. I am the one who must save this nation―nay, this world from extinction.
Pink Heart
Faith and desire. Phantoms and temperament. Prayers and dreams... You say we may find a clue from these relationships? Interesting. I suppose you also mean to say that I am the one best suited to this task since I am a hermit familiar with qi and can listen to desires with my ability, correct?
Summer
No matter how much tea you drink, it's never enough when it's this hot. The key to administration is the management of resources... but I would like to allow the dispensation of a pool's worth of cold drinks.
Login
I'm glad you're doing well again today. Good cheer is the source of vigor. And without vigor, one cannot administrate, formulate solutions, or fight.
Enhancement
Oho, I've gathered even more faith. Excellent. This feels good.
Return
Something caught my attention in that last battle of bullets. Can I discuss it with you?
Home 1
I leave the management of the dojo to Futo and Tojiko, but I step in sometimes... Or rather, there are times when I am forced to step in.
Home 2
I once had a skilled advisor create sixty-six sarugaku performances for me. The masks from that time are now Kokoro. The performances were truly masterful.
Home 3
Seiga is my teacher and a hermit who is not interested in ascending to Heaven. We get along well. I used to have many such advisors by my side in the past.
Reaction 1
It would be nice to ride a sacred horse when I need to get somewhere in a hurry.
Reaction 2
Do you seek my advice? ...OK, let's hear it.
Reaction 3
You want to hear a story? Then how about I tell you one of my legends.
Task
Ascertain the task, then complete it. Those are the fundamentals of government. Now, let me have a look.
Task Complete
Well done in completing that task. You are quite resourceful for one so young. I'm impressed.
Mail
It seems there's some mail. I'm quite used to reading reports. Shall I read yours as well?
Errand Finished
Oho, it seems an envoy has returned. This reminds me of old times.
Start of Battle
I shall not condemn your lack of respect, but you should leave immediately.
Mid-Wave
If you know not of harmony, I must teach you.
Victory
People of the land, this is how I fought. We can win!
Defeat
This isn't good... Heaven is only Heaven because it is up high. I must turn this around!

Character Information
Temperament: Goraikou
Goraikou (a Touhou LW original) refers to a sunrise seen from a place up high, such as from atop a mountain. This is an apt temperament for Miko, who was an advocate for Buddhism in public while following Taoism privately. Miko is endowed with Water Phase, as she is sharp-eared and amiable, and Sun Essence, with her ability to bring the people together.
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 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 listening to ten people's conversations at the same time
The ability of Toyosatomimi no Miko takes after the legends of the famous Prince Shoutoku. Not only can she listen to and comprehend ten people speaking to her simultaneously (the literal meaning of this ability) but can also perceive their disposition by listening to each of their ten desires all at the same time. Apparently, this also allows her to see the past and the future. However, her predictions are more likely to err when someone lacks one or more of these ten desires.
It seems that in order to see the past or future from the ten desires, she must listen to all ten at once. She must process them simultaneously, not one after the other. This is because the speaker's thoughts and emotions that they put into their words will change over time if their desires are heard sequentially. Perhaps the true strength of this ability is that it allows Miko to observe and perceive someone with next to no interference or contact with them.
Desire spirits, also known as "little divine spirits," are apparently born from the wishes and prayers... the desires of people. It is not known whether these are the desires of the living or released when someone passes away. From all the information available, it seems that both theories are plausible. This means that desire spirits may be spirits of the dead or spirits of the living. It is not all that unusual to mistake desire spirits for phantoms of the dead; in fact, they may even be a type or subspecies of phantom. Also, since phantoms, ghosts, and the like can ascend to divine spirits by gathering faith, calling desire spirits "little divine spirits" may not be so far off the mark. In a particular incident, Miko was seen accepting (or perhaps absorbing) desire spirits into herself and becoming one with them, which may be an example of the process that mere souls take when ascending to divine spirits. And perhaps this is also a primordial example of syncretism between faiths.
Attacks
Influence of the East
Toyosatomimi no Miko's Spread Shot. Miko's power and influence materialize in this attack. Throughout history, the people are always subjected to some form of influence―be it by words or appearance. Nowadays, influence is generally considered to be something that is spread from person to person.
Bullets
Policymaker's Authority
Authority of the Wise
Influencer Bullet
Saint's Authority
Charismatic Bullet
Parliamentary Authority
Cipangu the Golden Sword
Toyosatomimi no Miko's Focus Shot. Massive golden swords appear out of nowhere in this attack. There is an old book that is incredibly popular among the western world that named Japan, Cipangu and described it as a legendary country with vast resources of gold. The information on Japan was apparently based on tales heard in China and is reminiscent of legends concerning an island of immortals that is said to be far to the east.

Discernment: Laser of Seventeen Articles
Toyosatomimi no Miko's Spell Card. She shoots out seventeen lasers and countless ofuda bullets, probably inspired by ancient Japan's Seventeen-Article Constitution. This document was heavily influenced by Confucian philosophy from China and also took ideas from Legalism and Buddhism. The understanding and acceptance of the latest philosophies of the time shown in this document hint at Miko's incredible ability to adapt and innovate. However, perhaps the constitution was only put into effect thanks to Seiga's advice.
Bullets

Reverence the Three Treasures
Obey Imperial Commands

Cease Gluttony and Abandon Desires
Chastise Evil and Encourage Good
Light Sign: Halo of the Guze Kannon
Toyosatomimi no Miko's Spell Card. She unleashes bullets of light, reminiscent of the halo behind the Guze Kannon statue. Prince Shoutoku founded the famous Houryuu Temple in Nara, and the statue of the bodhisattva Guanyin (known as Kannon in Japan) within the Hall of Dreams supposedly represents the prince and is held as a sacred treasure. There is a famous legend regarding the prince's birth, where the prince is conceived by Guanyin entering his mother's, Princess Anahobe no Hashihito's, mouth... This tale, along with the legend about Prince Shoutoku being born in front of a stable door, might be embellishments of the truth that Miko purposefully propagated.

Heed the Commands with Absolute Care
Toyosatomimi no Miko's Last Word. She displays her leadership and authority with a blade of blinding light. This name comes from the third article of the Seventeen-Article Constitution, which deals with the relationship between the sovereign and their subjects. The article can be interpreted to mean that all orders from the sovereign must be obeyed without question. Miko is not just an intelligent and wise ruler but also listens to the voices of many and possesses extraordinary foresight, so perhaps this political system would create the most prosperous nation... Or perhaps this article stems from Miko's boundless conviction that wisdom and talent are merely the means to form an unyielding authority.

Skills
Skill: Shoutoku's Swords
Shichiseiken and Heishishourinken are the names of the two swords said to be possessed by Prince Shoutoku. Apparently, they utilize Lost Technology or something.
Skill: Tatsuta Protection
Tatsuta is the guardian god of Ikaruga, who indicated where Houryuu Temple should be built. It apparently took the guise of an old white-haired man.
Skill: Tsunashiki Shaku
She was granted this ritual baton when sanctifying the granite from Mount Rokkou for Tsunashiki Tenmangu Shrine. "Enough playing around!" *smack*
