I'm Momiji Inubashiri. I'm a white wolf tengu, and it is my duty to patrol the Youkai Mountain. Nice to meet you.
Introduction
I am Momiji Inubashiri, a white wolf tengu. You are... a normal human, just like I heard. I have been ordered to observe you as part of my daily patrol, so I came to see you. However, I am still unsure why the higher-ups want you watched... Well, there's no use worrying about it. How would you like to play me in a game of shogi? We could just play a single move per day if you're busy. Come on, let's play!
Purple Heart
Have you still not decided on a move? Or do you wish to forfeit?
Blue Heart
I'm sorry if you feel like you're being watched. Please try to ignore it.
Green Heart
You have quite an interesting play style. Not even any of the kappa use strategies like this. It's true what they say; every player of Dai Shogi is a general with their own unique style.
Orange Heart
I don't understand... Are you truly a beginner? How did you come up with those strategies? It isn't because you give directions in battles of bullets, is it? ...Oh, that has nothing to do with it.
Pink Heart
I think I've begun to understand why the higher-ups ordered me to observe you. Well, I'm not entirely sure... but I think me getting to know you like this will benefit the tengu society and Gensokyo as a whole. Ah... I lost.
Summer
*panting* It's hot... isn't it?! It's not so hot that I'll collapse... but I would really like to jump into a river or something!
Login
I've come to check up on you again. Is everything all right? You haven't been harassed by a youkai or anything, have you? Reimu overslept? Haha, she must be tired.
Enhancement
It sure feels good to train. Come on, join me! Don't be shy!
Return
I'm back. I managed to patrol quite a large area.
Home 1
I usually play shogi with the kappa, but I sometimes play hanafuda too. We also occasionally test games that happen to end up in Gensokyo from the outside world.
Home 2
It seems that Miss Aya has trespassed on another youkai's territory again... And Miss Hatate followed her. I have to go and tell them off; it's part of my job.
Home 3
I wish Moriya Shrine released a plan of what they were going to do before starting something! We white wolf tengu are the ones who have to clean up after them all the time!
Reaction 1
I've never been ordered to guard something away from the mountain before.
Reaction 2
Make sure you don't enter any other youkai's territory...
Reaction 3
I never thought I'd go out on patrol all the way to Hakurei Shrine.
Task
You have a task. I'll help so you can finish it quickly!
Task Complete
Phew, we finished the task! Good work.
Mail
It looks like you've got some mail. Shall I go check it for you?
Errand Finished
Someone has returned from an errand. Let's go welcome them back!
Start of Battle
I won't hold back if you get in our way!
Mid-Wave
I smell... an intruder!
Victory
Intruders eliminated. I will now continue my patrol!
Defeat
The white wolf tengu can't lose. Who will protect the mountain with us gone...?

Character Information
Temperament: Senpuu
Senpuu (a Touhou LW original) refers to the vortexes of strong wind called whirlwinds or dust devils. This is an apt temperament for Momiji, who circles around the mountain on patrol. Momiji is endowed with Wood Phase, as a tengu, and Sun Essence, with her lawful 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 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 seeing one thousand ri ahead
This ability is vital for Momiji Inubashiri's patrolling duty. Ri is a traditional Japanese unit of measurement originating from the Chinese li. One thousand ri approximately equals 4000 km or 2500 miles. The ability to see extraordinarily far is a type of clairvoyance or telegnosis. The white wolf tengu supplement this with their wolf-like, heightened sense of hearing and smell. Momiji and the other white wolf tengu predominantly patrol the Youkai Mountain and the surrounding area. It seems that they are particularly vigilant of the area around the fairly recently constructed aerial tramway connected to Moriya Shrine. Momiji and the other white wolf tengu may actually be the most well-known denizens of the Youkai Mountain.
Attacks
Defensive Dog Offense
Momiji Inubashiri's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She uses her shield to attack. Throwing your shield may not be a realistic way to fight, but it sure is flashy. Throwing a shield, so it bounces back to you is a simple task for one with the superior senses of a white wolf tengu... Probably.
Bullets
White Wolf Fighting Style: Defense
White Wolf Fighting Style: Bullets
White Wolf Fighting Style: Stubborn Defense
White Wolf Fighting Style: Battle of Bullets
White Wolf Fighting Style: Unyielding Defense
White Wolf Fighting Style: Foliage Battle of Bullets
Nomad Wolf Sword
Momiji Inubashiri's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She uses her shield to attack. Charging with your shield aloft is a flashy and effective way to fight. You can surely overwhelm any opponent who tries to resist. White wolf tengu use this technique and work as a group to subdue intruders... Probably.
Bullets
White Wolf Fighting Style: Martial Arts
White Wolf Fighting Style: Shield
White Wolf Fighting Style: Mighty Martial Arts
White Wolf Fighting Style: Wooden Shield
White Wolf Fighting Style: True Martial Arts
White Wolf Fighting Style: Impenetrable Shield
Dog Sign: Rabies Bite
Momiji Inubashiri's Spell Card. She unleashes a barrage of slashes in the form of ferocious beast fangs. Wolves excel at biting. However, the question is whether they'll stop or not after a single bite.
Bullets
Fang Slash
Rabid Bite
Large Fang Slash
Canine Bite
Wolf Fang Slash
Saber-Tooth Bite
Mountain Nomad: Expellee's Canaan
Momiji Inubashiri's Spell Card. She spins and unleashes multiple spirals of bullets in this attack. Most cultures throughout the world describe some sort of "promised land" in their mythology. The history of the human race is the history of humans migrating across this planet. They travel in search of their promised land... The place where they eventually settle is most likely the land that was promised to them.
Bullets
Promised Land
Paradise
The Golden Land
The Kunlun Mountains
Tokoyo no Kuni
Utopia
Thousand Wolves
Momiji Inubashiri's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). A thousand wolves pounce on her targets. It is perilous to encounter a pack of wolves in the mountains at night, all the more so if they are youkai wolves. You may be able to escape ordinary wolves by climbing up a tree. But youkai wolves... They'll still get you.

Skills
Skill: Foliage Camouflage
White wolf tengu are also sometimes called foliage tengu. They have quite a few differences to crow tengu... Apparently.
Skill: Bird of Boundaries
White wolf tengu are also sometimes called sakai-dori or birds of boundaries. This is an apt name for those who patrol the Youkai Mountain.
Skill: Clairvoyance
Eyes that can see exceptionally far. It is said that this ability could have been derived from the oni.
