I'm Shinmyoumaru Sukuna! I was looking for an underling like you. I'll get in your pocket, so let's go for a walk around the village!
Introduction
Yay! I've got a new underling! Are you a giantess from the Land of Science? You don't seem all that noble, but I don't discriminate, so don't worry! My name is Shinmyoumaru Sukuna. I'll hop in your pocket, so first off, let's go play in the Human Village! We can go to a sweets shop! And then we should... Hm? You want to know if I've got the Miracle Mallet? I've got it on me, but no, you're not allowed to touch it!
Purple Heart
What's wrong? Let's go to lots of places and play!
Blue Heart
There's an event on at the village! Hurry up and put me in your pocket already! We'll miss it!
Green Heart
Apparently, my ancestor traveled all across the land with Lord Daikoku to build the nation. I want to go on an adventure like that! I'm sure I will one day, right?!
Orange Heart
The truth about the Miracle Mallet? How much do you know? I also investigated it pretty thoroughly. It's an artifact that my ancestor stole from an oni, and it has a strong affinity with inchlings like myself. You say that in order to resolve this big incident... you need its power?
Pink Heart
Giving people power and making things bigger is only one aspect of the mallet's ability. It's a tool that uses magic to change things so a wish, or rather, a desire, gets fulfilled. This means that... Oh, it seems like you already know.
Summer
I heard there's a game where you break open watermelons! It sounds really easy! I'll wear a blindfold like this, then swing my needle sword about... Huh? Where is everyone?
Login
OK, let's grab Seija and Tenshi and go on an adventure! This is so much fun―like one of the classic Chinese novels! Come on, let's go... Wait, is that the giantess, Sumireko?! I-I've got to hide!
Enhancement
It looks like some of my mallet's magic has returned. It should be fine if I use it just a little bit, right?
Return
We could've handled that battle of bullets better! Let's train!
Home 1
Seija calls me princess! Everyone tends to think that she's always contrary, but I reckon she's actually pretty thoughtful and reliable.
Home 2
I was playing with Tenshi when suddenly a lightning bolt came crashing down and took her away. I wonder what that was. It was pretty scary.
Home 3
I'm grateful that Reimu let me stay with her, but oni visit her shrine, you know. Also, a poverty god showed up there after I left. I wonder what's living there now.
Reaction 1
I heard someone was offering to mend my needle!
Reaction 2
Your pocket is pretty warm and cozy!
Reaction 3
I can't see! Let me ride on your shoulder or head!
Task
Study? Homework? Wow, that's rough! Why don't we run away together?!
Task Complete
You worked hard and didn't run away? That's amazing! It's great that you got it done without getting chased first!
Mail
I've got a biiiiiig letter! With biiiiig text! You'll have to read it.
Errand Finished
Someone's come back! Do you think they brought me something?! I'm so excited!
Start of Battle
Sometimes it's better to be smaller rather than bigger!
Mid-Wave
All right, I'm gonna keep on sewing!
Victory
Yay! We won! Let's go back to our house!
Defeat
Stop running away, everyone! You traitors!

Character Information
Temperament: Koharu
Koharu (a Touhou LW original) refers to calm, warm weather with clear skies at the start of winter. This is an apt temperament for Shinmyoumaru, a descendant of the inchlings who hid great power. Shinmyoumaru is endowed with Metal Phase, since she can use the Miracle Mallet, and Star Essence, as she is a mischievous child.
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.
...However, her weaknesses and resistances are reversed due to the magic of her mallet that is gradually regaining its power.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of using the Miracle Mallet
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's ability as a descendent of the inchlings. The Miracle Mallet is a special item that can apparently only be used by inchlings. It used to belong to an oni, but the inchling hero, Issun-Boushi, claimed it for his race. This means that the mallet's magic is oni magic, which might explain why the mallet's ability is so ridiculously powerful. However, the mallet is not a convenient item that can just be used whenever one pleases, as many times as they like... It carries a price. However, it seems some of the inchlings have forgotten this over the generations.
Shinmyoumaru's noble inching family traces its lineage back to the "oni-slaying" hero, Issun-Boushi. The Issun-Boushi from the fairy tale supposedly has a deep connection with the god Sukunahikona described in ancient legends. Sukunahikona is a great god who partnered with Ookuninushi to travel the land and build the nation. However, he is also an unusual god who acts like a mischievous child at times. These types of gods are known as tricksters and are a staple of ancient mythology. You could even say that Seija and Shinmyoumaru are a pair of tricksters when they work together. There might not be another duo quite like them in Gensokyo...
Attacks
Kimono Pattern Resewing
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's Spread Shot. She attacks by sewing incredibly fast with her needle sword. In the past, seamstresses used to be called shinmyou, written with the Japanese characters for "needle" and "strange." It is unknown if this has any connection with Shinmyoumaru.
Bullets
Thread Knot Cut
Straight Stitch Cut
Running Stitch Cut
Backstitch Cut
Blind Stitch Cut
End Knot Cut
Ebiichi Giant Rotation
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's Focus Shot. She spins along with her bowl and crashes into her opponent. Her elegant twirling, reminiscent of a spinning top, is like the New Year's Day performances that bring good luck. Aunn and Kogasa would probably enjoy this.
Bullets
Shinmyoumaru's Giant Rotation
Twisting Giant Rotation
Bobbin Giant Rotation
Handspun Giant Rotation
Throwing Giant Rotation
Striking Giant Rotation
Mallet: Grow Bigger!
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's Spell Card. She attacks by making her bullets grow in size. She is obviously using the Miracle Mallet in this attack... But nothing good comes from overusing the Miracle Mallet's magic. Shinmyoumaru will surely be more careful the next time she uses the mallet... hopefully.
Bullets
Grown Bullet
Grown a Little Bullet
Grown Pretty Big Bullet
Grown Fairly Big Bullet
Grown Really Big Bullet
Grown Too Big Bullet
Bewitched Sword: Shining Needle Sword
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's Spell Card. She attacks with her needle sword and the light it gives off. Issun-Boushi is famous for wielding a needle sword. He used it to defeat an oni, so it should not be underestimated even though it is a needle. Also, the silver blade that Sakuya found was apparently created by Shinmyoumaru as an experiment. Perhaps that is connected to this Spell Card.

Giant Killing
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). In this attack, she causes a stunning upset, which is a staple in fiction. Giant killing refers to a trope where a smaller person defeats a larger adversary. In other words, it is a shocking turn of events where the underdog wins... It certainly does not have anything to do with growing in size to beat up your opponent. Shinmyoumaru, you are probably going to regret using so much magic!

Skills
Skill: Shrink Just a Little
She uses the Miracle Mallet's magic to shrink in size. She only shrinks a little bit, so it should be fine.
Skill: Grow Just a Little
She uses the Miracle Mallet's magic to grow in size. Growing just a little bit shouldn't cause any harm.
Skill: Grant a Little Wish
She grants a wish with the Miracle Mallet's magic. A little wish won't cause a repeat of the past, right?
