I'm Sumireko Usami, a high school girl full of dreams and aspirations! ...Maybe I should try a different greeting. Forget what I just said!
Introduction
Hi, I'm Sumireko Usami. The first president of the Secret Sealing Club and a gifted psychic! Are you surprised? ...No, you don't have to pretend you're surprised. Your reaction was somewhat lacking. Next time I should try something a little more elaborate... What?! Did you come to Gensokyo from the outside too? Wow, so you're like Sanae and myself! But then again, you're... No, never mind!
Purple Heart
You need to smile more for a good photo! Smile!
Blue Heart
Where are you from? Are you from the countryside?
Green Heart
I'm meeting up with Kassy at Kourindou! Oh... keep this a secret! Well, not that I have anything to hide.
Orange Heart
I thought you had fancy abilities and special skills like Sanae and me, but you don't seem to have any, do you? I wonder if you were like this even before you lost your memory.
Pink Heart
I can't say it well, but... I've been through a lot, and I've come to think that living everyday life, like making friends at school, is nice. Maybe you're experiencing something similar right now? If so, I want to be here to help you out.
Summer
It's hot! I need an air conditioner or at least a fan...! Or an ice fairy by my side...! Ugh!
Login
Sup! How are you today? I just went to bed a few minutes ago, so I'm super energetic! Now, where are Reimers and Rissa?
Enhancement
Tada! Sumireko has powered up!
Return
That was so exciting, like one of those adventures in the stories! ...Oh, I guess it was an adventure.
Home 1
I found an ice fairy, so I tried playing with her. Isn't she amazing? She can turn anything into ice in an instant. I was so impressed!
Home 2
Kassy really enjoyed the sweets I brought from a convenience store! She was even cuter than usual!
Home 3
A girl called Kagerou hosts tabletop games in the corner of Kourindou. I never thought they would be so much fun. Even the owner got involved!
Reaction 1
Whoa, are you taking pictures? Get a good picture of me!
Reaction 2
What's up? You wanna talk?
Reaction 3
Do you want to play at Kourindou together?
Task
Hehe! I may look like this, but I'm a genius! Do you need help with your task?
Task Complete
Wow, you completed the task! You're doing great!
Mail
I wonder if they still send mail by tying it to a pigeon's foot? I'd like to see that!
Errand Finished
Looks like someone's back! I wonder if they have any souvenirs or something?
Start of Battle
I'll be your opponent! But ...only until I wake up!
Mid-Wave
I don't want to get hurt, even if it's in a dream!
Victory
I've got English class waiting for me when I wake up. Or was it history? Either way, they're both boring.
Defeat
I'll probably have bruises when I wake up...! I hope not!

Character Information
Temperament: Chemtrail
Chemtrail (a Touhou LW original) refers to a conspiracy theory about condensation trails from aircraft. This is an apt temperament for Sumireko Usami, who is an occult maniac with supernatural powers. Sumireko is endowed with Fire Phase, with her burning passion, and Star Essence, because of her curiosity and free spirit.
The formless and passionate Fire Phase resists Wood Phase, because wood feeds fire, but it is weak to Water Phase, because water dampens fire.
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 manipulating psychic powers
This is the ability of Sumireko Usami, a girl with real psychic powers who calls herself the first president of the Secret Sealing Club. People who claim to have extrasensory perception or supernatural powers in the outside world are mostly frauds, but Sumireko is genuinely a human who can use psychic powers.
In fiction, heroes and villains with psychic powers are generally depicted as having a single type of power. But Sumireko, who has psychic powers and actually exists, has displayed various psychic powers, including manipulating objects with her mind through telekinesis and psychokinesis, traveling from one spot to another instantaneously with teleportation, manipulating energy with pyrokinesis and hydrokinesis, levitation, and flight. She is probably capable of using other psychic powers, and maybe even all of them. This might suggest that there is some sort of universal source for all the psychic powers that truly exist... Or perhaps people who can use psychic powers are like smartphones in how their functionality can expand and diversify in a myriad of ways as long as they can install the relevant app.
It is incredibly difficult to differentiate psychic powers from magic or the abilities that youkai use. However, psychic powers seem somewhat appropriate for the youth, who are unique in the way that they believe they can do anything, and for children who have the potential to become anything. This ability could become incredibly potent if Sumireko trained it... but most high-school students would rather spend their youth having fun and enjoying themselves rather than train, and Sumireko is no exception.
Sumireko previously tried to invade Gensokyo after discovering it on her own, but now she has a "dreaming disease," which makes her visit Gensokyo only in her sleep. This was not triggered by her ability but by the unique relationship between Sumireko and Gensokyo. While the exact details are a mystery, this relationship may have something to do with the nature of the barrier that surrounds Gensokyo or Sumireko's state of mind.
It is not known how long Sumireko will continue to be able to visit Gensokyo. However, as long as she remains a child, she will probably keep her psychic powers and her connection with Gensokyo.
Attacks
Electrokinesis
Sumireko Usami's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She throws Zener cards with bioelectricity. This attack is kind of like a railgun because she imbues the cards with kinetic energy. Weak electricity flows within the bodies of all living organisms, and Sumireko can harness this power to create all sorts of electromagnetic phenomena... Or so she says.
Bullets
Electrokinetic Zener Card
Electrokinetic Circle Card
Electrokinetic Plus Sign Card
Electrokinetic Wavy Lines Card
Electrokinetic Square Card
Electrokinetic Star Card
Pyrokinesis
Sumireko Usami's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She throws Zener cards imbued with the ability to will fire into existence. Someone with this ability is also known as a firestarter. According to Sumireko, this isn't a particularly special psychic ability if you consider the five elements that make up the human body... But is that true?

Pyrokinetic Star Card
Gun Sign: 3D Printer Gun
Sumireko Usami's Spell Card. She shoots her gun, which was printed with a 3D printer. Do not copy this! Sumireko probably used her psychic powers to enhance the resolution of this replica. This Spell Card may look simple, but it might be surprisingly effective since most dwellers of Gensokyo have not experienced this particular type of shooting before.

Psychokinesis: Telekinesis - Radio Tower
Sumireko Usami's Spell Card. She uses powerful telekinesis to knock down radio towers. Telekinesis is probably the most famous psychic power, and it is like a foundation for all other powers that influence matter. Since Sumireko interferes with physics in this attack, she might be manipulating an unknown type of energy. However, youkai and phantoms are a common sight in Gensokyo, so this phenomenon isn't all that strange to anyone who lives there.

Radio Tower Fall
Radio Tower Collapse

Super ESP Hypothesis
Sumireko Usami's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). She temporarily materializes one of the worlds from her imagination. The Super ESP Hypothesis is the theory that paranormal phenomena (phenomena caused by beings such as spirits or monsters that surpass human comprehension) can be explained by supposing that psychic powers possessed by humans caused the phenomena. Sumireko has come up with a similar hypothesis after learning more about various supernatural phenomena and her own powers. Of course, she has lots of other theories too. However, she doesn't want to believe that the friends she made in Gensokyo are mere figments of her imagination. That is why Sumireko continues her research.
