Are you the one who prayed for me? I'm Minoriko Aki, the god of bountiful harvests. I'm not just the god of sweet potatoes!
Introduction
You there, do you like sweet potatoes? I'm Minoriko Aki! The god of autumn harvests. Tasty rice and hot roasted pumpkins are all grown thanks to my power, so pray to me, OK? ...Though I guess I am only one god out of the countless other gods out there, hehe. I can provide logistical support for you while you run about resolving incidents, so tell me what you'd like to eat.
Purple Heart
I'm sorry! My power doesn't work on spring and summer fruit...
Blue Heart
I do all of my work by hand, so I won't be able to keep up if I get any more followers!
Green Heart
Oh, you like sweet potatoes? Very good. You're quite the devout follower. How about I cook one up for you?
Orange Heart
Sweet potatoes are great for cooking! Candied sweet potatoes and sweet potato rice are delicious! Sweets made from them are great too! You can roast them on hot stones or make sweet potato cakes. They're delicious no matter how you cook them. Which one do you want to try first?
Pink Heart
Yeah, faith is all about trust between gods and their followers. I work hard on the fields of those who pray faithfully to me, even if they only do so for the benefits. I want the bountiful harvest and the delicious food to make them really happy!
Summer
Watermelon is so tasty! It tastes so good even on its own! I think I'll go and deliver some to my followers hard at work in the fields.

Have you seen the autumn leaves on the mountain? My sister, Shizuha, used her ability to make them. They're really beautiful! I'm a bit jealous of her artistic talent.
Home 2
Scarecrows all have different expressions. I really like the ones that look relaxed and carefree. They make me feel like I don't have a thing in the world to worry about either.
Home 3
I wonder if my followers would like it if I made more types of autumn sweets... I've already got sweet potato ones, so I could try using chestnuts, persimmons... and PUMPKINS! I've got to start cooking!

Just because I smell like sweet potatoes, it doesn't mean I'm edible!

Character Information
Temperament: Akibare
Akibare (a Touhou LW original) refers to the clear skies of autumn. This is an accurate representation of Minoriko's benevolence as the god of harvests. Minoriko is endowed with Metal Phase, the element of autumn, and Star Essence, from her carefree and cheerful personality.
The cold and silent Metal Phase resists Earth Phase, because earth bears metal, but it is weak to Fire Phase, because fire refines metal.
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 controlling plentiful harvests
Minoriko is the god who controls the success and failure of crops in Gensokyo's autumn. Her power is apparently limited to only the crops that are harvested in autumn. Additionally, she has to painstakingly invest her power into each and every plant for it to take effect, meaning she can only use this power on a limited area. The more followers she has, the more crops she has to grow and the busier she gets. She must be an extremely diligent and hardworking god, considering how she goes from field to field during the growing period of spring and summer.
Attacks
Rice Spirits
Minoriko Aki's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). This is an attack that uses the power of the divine spirits who live in rice fields. The rice spirits determine whether a rice crop has a bountiful harvest or not.

Autumn Sign: The Autumn Sky and a Maiden's Heart
Minoriko Aki's Spell Card. This attack unleashes a barrage of bullets in the shape of rice grains. The clouds in the autumn sky are said to be transient. It is unclear whether or not Minoriko's maiden heart is the same. If it is, she may actually be a rather whimsical god.

Bumper Crop: Promise of the Wheat God
Minoriko Aki's Spell Card. This attack emits spear-like laser bullets that look like the ears of a rice plant. Usually, one must pray to Minoriko before the harvest season starts in order to receive a bumper crop from her. This is most likely because she will not be able to improve the growth of the crop unless she is informed early on.

Toyosuki's Hainuwele Legend
Minoriko Aki's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). A large assortment of autumn crops rain down from the sky. Dema deities are mythological figures that form the basis for crop origin myths, like the Hainuwele legend. The story of how crops came to be in Japanese mythology is a type of dema deity myth.
