I am Okina Matara, a sage of Gensokyo and secret god. It is safe to say that I am the god who you should rely on right now.
Introduction
It seems that youkai held back a valuable piece of information. No, you needn't be so wary. I am Okina Matara, a secret god. Like Yukari, I too am a sage of Gensokyo. Returning you from whence you came is a pressing matter for us sages. However, as far as I could glean from the back door, there is no record whatsoever of you arriving in Gensokyo. Perhaps there exists an as yet unknown world or a means of falsifying the records. This is peculiar... yet undoubtedly intriguing!
Purple Heart
You have much to learn before you could ever succeed my two servants.
Blue Heart
I have begun to understand why Yukari is so interested in you.
Green Heart
This incident is a type of world that has been divided. Hm? Did you not understand? It is difficult to explain with a metaphor... I shall think on it.
Orange Heart
There is a theory in the outside world that all the continents and islands were once a single landmass. Similar to Onogoro Island, the first land created by the gods. I estimate that these parallel worlds that Yukari keeps going on about were also once a single ultimate world.
Pink Heart
I still lack information to confirm my hypothesis. Please continue investigating as my subordinate. I will study your mysterious summoning technique, which should reveal the truth of not only your journal but you as well.
Summer
Seeing that butterfly fairy reminds me of a past enemy... No, it's nothing. Just know that you should never underestimate a fairy.
Login
I was awaiting your arrival. Now, there is some new information that I would like you to assess and provide an opinion on. You can talk freely. Just say whatever comes to mind.
Enhancement
One more hidden power has been added to my arsenal!
Return
It is enjoyable no matter how many times I participate in battles of bullets. I wonder who devised them.
Home 1
Satono and Mai are brilliant. They can at times cause some unexpected commotion, but I believe that is part of their charm.
Home 2
Kasen and I have been acquainted for a long time. Though in saying that, there is still much that I do not know about her. I am sure she would say that I am just as mysterious, if not even more so.
Home 3
Yukari is strict like a mother yet also childlike. Not many youkai are as mysterious and difficult to fathom as her, which makes her perhaps the most youkai-like youkai there is.
Reaction 1
What is it, Satono? If you want my attention then... Oh, it's you.
Reaction 2
Yes, Mai? You want to play... Oh, it's YOU?!
Reaction 3
I am strict in the tutelage of my two servants. And justly so.
Task
Troubleshooting is a tried and true process of solving tasks. Let me give you a hand.
Task Complete
Oh, you completed your task already? Well done! You deserve a pat on the head.
Mail
Mai and Satono delivered a letter. Make sure to read it thoroughly.
Errand Finished
Someone has returned from an errand. Let us give them a warm welcome back.
Start of Battle
I hope you are prepared for the consequences of impeding a secret god's advance.
Mid-Wave
What? This is not the extent of your power, is it?
Victory
Fear, revere, and tell everyone that you saw the secret god, Okina Matara!
Defeat
Hm, this is inconvenient. Let us fall back and regroup.

Character Information
Temperament: Enkaku-soukan
Enkaku-soukan (a Touhou LW original) refers to teleconnection, the correlation of atmospheric pressure between faraway regions. This is an apt temperament for the secret god who affects Gensokyo through her two servants. Okina is endowed with Earth Phase, as she rules from the other side, and Star Essence, with her myriad aspects.
The encompassing and regenerative Earth Phase resists Fire Phase, because fire produces earth, but it is weak to Wood Phase, because wood parts earth.
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 creating doors on the backs of anything
This is Okina Matara's ability as the secret god who lurks in the back door. This ability is shrouded in mystery, and its full scope is still unknown.
There is a world that exists alongside Gensokyo called the Land of the Back Door, where Okina and her two servants reside. It is assumed that this world was created and is maintained by Okina's ability. Through her two servants, she used this ability to unleash the latent power residing in various beings and objects during a past incident. The doors she creates on the backs of everything (the back doors) may serve as entrances, allowing Okina to access that being's hidden information such as its secrets, wild nature, or latent consciousness, etc. She instigated the past incident by amplifying the divine nature, or temperament, lurking within beings through these back doors. By using this ability on the land of Gensokyo itself, it is theorized that Okina can travel between Gensokyo and the other side. Perhaps the other side is a place like an underground oil field filled with an unknown resource or a waiting room backstage that no one knows about...
It is hard to think of Okina as a single divine being. She has aspects of gods from Shinto as well as primordial divine spirits, Taoism, and Buddhism. But perhaps her most defining feature is that she has inherited the folk beliefs of different groups of people throughout the ages. She is truly an amalgamation of countless beings of worship. An example of something similar can be seen with gods whose different aspects coexist simultaneously―the aspect of the god that is outwardly worshipped at shrines and that which is worshipped in private.
When specific gods are culled from the pantheon, they are not simply eradicated but absorbed by other gods and continue to live on inside them. Divine natures overlap, increasing the number of aspects that a single god possesses while hiding the true aspect for which that god was originally worshipped. This is how secret gods are brought about, and this was not at all unusual for the gods of the distant past when everyone was particular about who must worship which exact god. The nature of Okina Matara as a god is somewhat similar to the nature of Gensokyo itself.
Attacks
Unusual-God Laser
Okina Matara's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She harnesses an unusual power that differs from the powers usually associated with gods into a bombardment of lasers. Okina's divinity cannot be fully defined by common sense or any one religion. She has inherited, merged, and altered the souls of different native gods to become a distorted yet legitimate divine being. This may, in fact, be the original form that many gods take.

Backdraft
Okina Matara's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). Flames erupt from behind her opponent in this attack. A door is a barrier with a switch. When it is open, it allows entry, and when it is closed, entry is denied. When you open a closed door, you are unveiling the unknown, as no one truly knows what is lurking on the other side...

Back Sign: Halo of the Secret God
Okina Matara's Spell Card. The secret god Okina unleashes a barrage of mysterious light. A halo is an aura of light that radiates out from behind a being portrayed in art to indicate that they are divine or holy. Halos have been used in the iconography of many religions throughout the world, including Buddhism. It is unknown what a secret god's halo symbolizes due to their convoluted origin.

Hidden Spring: Magician of Abnormal Falling Petals
Okina Matara's Spell Card. She attacks by scattering petals about in an abnormal manner. It is natural for all flowers to wither and their petals to fall. The falling of the cherry blossoms, in particular, is a symbol of spring in Japan. These falling petals are abnormal because they are made to fall with magic. Spring and cherry blossoms are of the Wood Phase, whereas summer, the season that puts an end to spring, is of the Fire Phase. So it should be safe to assume that fire is incorporated into this attack.

Fantasy Simulation Hypothesis
Okina Matara's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She attacks by forcefully placing the targets under her domain. Okina is in charge of maintaining balance in Gensokyo and protecting it from the outside world, from the other side. It is speculated that Okina hosts a range of powerful abilities since she is a secret god. However, the fact that she maintains all of Gensokyo by herself (and her two servants) indicates that she has a power on par with providing non-stop air traffic control for the whole region. It seems that Yukari and her shikigami are skilled at mathematical computation, but perhaps Okina and her two servants hold a similar ability between them. Although a barrier does surround Gensokyo, it is most likely only thanks to Okina's efforts that Gensokyo is protected so securely from the outside world and its stability maintained so well despite all the various incidents.

Skills
Skill: Mental Energy Manipulation
Out of all the different beings in Gensokyo, youkai are said to have the most mental energy. Okina can even create new youkai... apparently!
Skill: Life Energy Manipulation
Fairies are embodiments of life energy. They also appear to have a strong connection to temperament.
Skill: Back Door Opening
It is still unknown how back doors operate and what exactly occurs when one is opened.
