My name is Ran Yakumo. I'm the shikigami of the great Lady Yukari Yakumo, the legendary youkai of Gensokyo. I've already heard from Lady Yukari.
Introduction
My name is Ran Yakumo. I'm the shikigami of the great Lady Yukari Yakumo, the legendary youkai of Gensokyo. I've already heard from Lady Yukari. I'm sure that she will help you find your lost memories, so there is no need for you to fret. While you are here, won't you lend a hand to help Gensokyo? I will of course aid you to the best of my meager capabilities.
Purple Heart
Aren't you slacking off a little too much? I hope you haven't forgotten your duties.
Blue Heart
Lady Yukari told me to keep my eyes on you, so... *stare*
Green Heart
Observing you will help me grow, or so Lady Yukari told me... But I still don't really understand what she meant.
Orange Heart
It seems I misunderstood Lady Yukari. When she asked me to keep my eyes on you, she must have wanted me to observe the things you have built up so far, like your connections to other people and your way of being.
Pink Heart
You have grown quite a lot since I started observing you. While you are still not very powerful, your existence has become indispensible to Gensokyo. It makes me proud to have been watching over you this whole time.
Summer
The fur in my tails falls out around this time of year so that my summer coat can grow in. Even though it's my own fur, it always makes my nose feel rather itchy... Achoo!
Login
I was waiting for you. Lady Yukari asked me to tell you to make sure to play games in a well lit room, but whatever could she mean by that?
Enhancement
I will continue to devote all my strength to Lady Yukari as her shikigami.
Return
Honestly... I'm Lady Yukari's shikigami, not yours.
Home 1
There's a shop in the Human Village that sells delicious fried tofu. I could take you if you like. There's no need to show any restraint!
Home 2
Chen has been a bit rebellious lately. Perhaps I should be happy that my shikigami is growing, but it still makes me feel a little lonely...
Home 3
Normally, I take care of the Gensokyo barrier in Lady Yukari's stead. Yes, I am quite hardworking, thank you.
Reaction 1
H-Hey! Don't touch my tails!
Reaction 2
Hm... Have you seen Chen?
Reaction 3
You don't have to count. All nine tails are there.
Task
A task? Lady Yukari would give me tasks as training in the past.
Task Complete
Oh, it looks like you've accomplished your task! Very well done.
Mail
Some mail arrived for you. I'll take a look for you.
Errand Finished
If you must know, my Chen is very good at errands too.
Start of Battle
I shall face you in Lady Yukari's stead.
Mid-Wave
You're nothing special if you can't even defeat me.
Victory
All right, I have worked very hard today. I think it's time for a rest.
Defeat
Ugh, so strong... Lady Yukari, I have reached the limit of what I can accomplish all alone...

Character Information
Temperament: Kitsune no Yomeiri
Kitsune no Yomeiri (a Touhou LW original) means the fox's wedding and refers to a sunshower. This term is used in certain parts of Japan, while the more generic term is tenki ame, which is Yukari's temperament. That makes this temperament a perfect fit for Ran, who is both Yukari's shikigami and a fox. Ran is endowed with Metal Phase, from her sincere dedication to her duties, and Moon Essence, from her true nature hidden within.
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 cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence resists the alluring and arrogant Sun Essence, but it is weak to the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of using shikigami
In Ran's case, the ability to use shikigami means the ability to control Chen. You could call shikigami a kind of pattern―like software for the computers used in the outside world. Ran herself is Yukari's shikigami, but she has Chen as her own shikigami too. Software allows a computer to do something it could not originally do, so youkai possessed by shikigami can do things they normally would not have been able to, but it also stops them from doing other things at the same time. If you want to know more, you should ask Yukari.
Attacks
Tail Spinner
Ran Yakumo's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). After Yukari upgraded Ran, she gained the ability to use this attack which shoots out needles while rotating at a high speed. It looks like a pompom of yarn and is a secret favorite of Yukari's.
