The Wicked Hermit Who Passes Through Walls
Voice Lines
Gacha Pickup
I am Seiga Kaku, a hermit. If you are willing to be my friend for a long time, please call me Seiga Nyan Nyan.
Introduction
I finally found you. I have also taken an interest in you, and I won't let you leave me out of the fun. I am Seiga Kaku. People call me a wicked hermit, but I don't care what they think. Although fundamentally different, I find you as alluring and delightful as a jiang shi! ...I have decided that I want you. I'm sure that new paths will open for me once you are mine!
Purple Heart
I'm still very much interested in you, but the problem is that you're still living...
Blue Heart
Magic? No, this is senjutsu―hermit arts. Are you interested in learning more?
Green Heart
Senjutsu is merely a means to an end. It opens the path, but the goal is to reach the end and become a celestial. Though that's not to say that I can't use the tools I have acquired however I please!
Orange Heart
You should also learn senjutsu and use it however you please for your own ends. You needn't worry. I've heard that the scholars of the outside world hold a similar philosophy, where people should serve the interests of humans, not gods or the divine.
Pink Heart
Wait a second! I thought that strange ability of yours was taught to you by that fake Taoist youkai... No, I would remember if it was me who taught you... I'm sorry, please give me some time to think.
Summer
Yoshika's skin feels so pleasant and cool. Hugging her while I sleep makes even the hottest of summer nights bearable.
Login
Hey! You look well. Yoshika is groaning happily in the shade, and I have a feeling that this will be a good day for me. Come on, let's do some hermit work.
Enhancement
My original senjutsu have become even more powerful! Heehee, marvelous!
Return
That battle of bullets was exquisite. Let's take a well-deserved rest.
Home 1
There are plenty of hermits as powerful as me in China, but it seems that Kasen is just as powerful, if not more so. She must have been quite the virtuous human.
Home 2
Yes, that youkai's shikigami are quite something. But don't you think my Yoshika is cute too? While my techniques may not be as powerful, I prefer the retro look!
Home 3
While Lady Miko and Lady Futo are my students, they are nobler than I am. I do not wish for them to pay me undue respect, so we treat each other as equals.
Reaction 1
Boo! ...I tried popping out of a hole.
Reaction 2
Miss Sanae and Miss Youmu have great potential, don't you think?
Reaction 3
Shinigami? Kishin? They'll never catch me.
Task
A task, you say? I'll take a look at it. May I sit down beside you?
Task Complete
Well done in completing the task. You're just like how Lady Miko was back in the day.
Mail
There is some mail. I'll sit down next to you and read it out, OK?
Errand Finished
Someone seems to have returned from an errand. Let's go welcome them back.
Start of Battle
This is an excellent opportunity to test my new senjutsu.
Mid-Wave
That worked rather well. Let's try a different one.
Victory
This new senjutsu does not come close to surpassing my creation of Yoshika, but it seems to be viable in battle.
Defeat
That was unfortunate. But let's learn from this failure.

Character Information
Temperament: Kinkan-Nisshoku
Kinkan-Nisshoku (a Touhou LW original) refers to an annular solar eclipse where the moon covers the sun's center leaving the sun's outer edges visible, forming a ring around the moon. Seiga's ability to cut holes in walls makes the giant hole cutting through the sky an apt temperament. Seiga is endowed with Water Phase, as she can control sprits of the dead, and Moon Essence, with her mysterious nature.
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 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 passing through walls
Seiga Kaku's ability that she brought with her from China. She activates this ability by using her hairpin (some say it is actually a chisel) to cut through walls. However, just cutting the wall doesn't cause a hole to open up out of nowhere―she must push the cut-out bit of the wall through to the other side. The hole also disappears after a while. The practical applications for this ability are a mystery, but it is said to be very effective against nurikabe, a type of youkai that takes the form of a wall. Seiga has been witnessed using this ability to escape from those who aim to take her prolonged hermit life. This ability could also be useful for surprising people. (Seiga herself proclaims that surprising people is its only use...) It is apparent that Seiga can use other senjutsu as well. The main senjutsu being her ability to manipulate spirits of the dead to command corpses. She also makes use of Chinese alchemy to strengthen the body and is very knowledgeable about Taoism. So while she may be a "wicked" hermit, she is just as powerful as the true and righteous hermits.
Attacks
Guhuo Niao
Seiga Kaku's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She commands a Chinese youkai bird to attack her target. The guhuo niao is a type of spirit of the dead that harms children and can take on the guise of a human woman. They are often considered similar or the same as an ubume, a Japanese youkai ghost of a woman who died during childbirth. They may also have some sort of connection to Urumi...
Bullets
Guhuo Niao Blood Seal
Night-Going Leisure Woman Embrace
Young Empress Peck
Feather Robed Woman Possession
Nine-Headed Bird Caress
Ubametori Milk Stain
Yigui
Seiga Kaku's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She commands yigui, Chinese spirits of the dead, to attack her targets. They are ghosts of people who have committed suicide that possess others to make them hang themselves. It is speculated that they make others die so that they themselves can reincarnate.
Bullets
Yigui Grudge Laser
Burning Resentment
The Hanging Ghost's Curse Laser

Spiteful Storm
Hermit Arts: Wall Runner
Seiga Kaku's Spell Card. She crushes her target beneath falling walls. Seiga's hairpin allows her to open holes in walls. However, they close up over time. She doesn't create holes out of nothing, but rather, she cuts through even the hardest walls like butter. Seiga cannot be trapped inside any room, even if it is made of steel.
Bullets
Wall of Earth
Collapse
Jumbled Stone and Earth
Sharp Rock Fragment
Total Collapse
Wall of Rock
Path Sign: Tao Fetal Movement
Seiga Kaku's Spell Card. She coordinates with Yoshika to unleash a barrage of bullets by manipulating spirits. Tao means "way" or "path," it is the central dogma of hermits and teaches about the truth of the universe and life itself. Hermits are those who have pursued the path and reached its end. If you liken normal humans to larvae, hermits would be the fully grown bugs with wings. They are transcendent beings... or so it is said.
Bullets
Spirit Beam
Hermit Beam
Spirit of the Dead Beam
Tao Bullet
Phantom Beam
Embryo Bullet
Wormhole Prophetess
Seiga Kaku's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She invites her targets on a journey through a hole in spacetime. Throughout the universe, there are holes where time and space don't exist as we know it... apparently. Seiga's hairpin can open a hole in any wall. Thus, it can be assumed that she can cut through any material, no matter how hard it is. The strength of tiny intermolecular bonds determines the hardness of materials, and it is theorized that the bonds between infinitely small bits of time and space are what holds together spacetime. If used correctly, this senjutsu may just make it possible to warp through space and time.

Skills
Skill: Wicked Senjutsu
Senjutsu, or hermit arts that are used for one's own ends. The techniques are the same as normal senjutsu... at least they should be.

She creates illusions to mislead her opponents. It is a technique that directly interferes with people's senses.
Skill: Spirit Manipulation
She mainly uses this skill to manipulate spirits of the dead and command corpses. It is based on altering the balance of qi.
