Yuugi Hoshiguma's usual outfit. It features a white shirt and a unique long skirt.
Kabukimono of the Former Capital
Another one of Yuugi's usual outfits. Is she deliberately wearing clothes that lack maneuverability as a handicap?
Vengeful Spirit Cleaner Maid
A maid uniform provided for Yuugi. It comes with a mysterious vacuum cleaner that was stored away in the maid storeroom.
Bold White Ogre
Yuugi's Fantasy Rebirth outfit. It was fashioned at Kourindou based on information in the journal.
Former Hell Encouragement
Yuugi's specialized outfit for generating cheer. The vengeful spirits she uses as pompoms are already dizzy...
The Spoken-of Unexplainable Phenomena
Voice Lines
Gacha Pickup
I'm Yuugi Hoshiguma. People call me Yuugi the Strong. And as you can see―I'm an oni. The surface has been rather noisy of late.
Introduction
So you're that human Suika was talking about, eh? You really do just look like a normal human. Yeah, I'm Yuugi Hoshiguma, an oni just like Suika. I don't usually leave the Underworld, but I sometimes come to the surface when there's trouble afoot like there is now. I still can't believe Suika would take an interest in someone who doesn't look like they drink... Maybe she's lost her touch. Though this does make you intriguing.
Purple Heart
You're awfully brave to not be fearing an oni...
Blue Heart
You're gonna resolve this incident, are you? ...You've got guts. I'll give you that. Good luck.
Green Heart
It would be much easier if this incident could be resolved with brute strength. That way, I could handle it all by myself. Though I guess, that's why you're here, 'cause it ain't that simple, is it?
Orange Heart
Whatever ya do, don't lose sight of why you're trying to resolve this incident. You can snap if ya just keep focusing on a single thing non-stop. Suika, I, and the others from the Underworld are helping out, so there's no harm in you taking a break.
Pink Heart
It's an honor for humans to receive aid from an oni, since we only help those we trust. And I trust that if I keep hanging out with you, I'll never lack for a story to tell while drinking. That's why this is so fun.
Summer
It's actually kind of cool up here compared to the blazing hot Underworld... It's particularly nice by the water. Suika would say, "Cheers to drinking by the river."
Login
I'm here again. I had nothing else to do, so I quite enjoy coming up here. All right then, what are you gonna be doing today?
Enhancement
So I can get even stronger, can I? Nice. This is gonna be fun!
Return
Yeah, I may have had a little too much fun. Let's take a break.
Home 1
It's best for oni like me to live quietly down in the Underworld. Only, I can't let my power waste away from not using it, so I wanna have a tussle with those confident in their strength.
Home 2
That gatekeeper, Meiling, is she really that physically strong? Her way of attacking by manipulating qi seems more like youjutsu than martial arts. Chinese culture sure is mysterious.
Home 3
This? This is my treasured Hoshiguma Dish. Suika keeps trying to get her hands on it, so I keep it on me at all times.
Reaction 1
What is it? Did something interesting happen?
Reaction 2
Oh? It's Kasen... I shouldn't bother her.
Reaction 3
...Then Suika went and drank every single drop!
Task
A task? All right, let's go deal with it together.
Task Complete
Task complete. This might have made us stronger.
Mail
Mail, eh? What does it say?
Errand Finished
Seems someone's back from an errand. I guess we should welcome them back.
Start of Battle
I don't care who or what you are. I'll give ya a thrashing all the same.
Mid-Wave
Stop with the tricks. Come at me all at once!
Victory
C'mon, did I not give you enough of a handicap? You weren't even worth the effort.
Defeat
What's done is done. There's no point fretting over it. We'll just win the next time.

Character Information
Temperament: Supercell
Supercell (a Touhou LW original) refers to massive thunderstorms formed from a single storm cell. This could be considered a fitting temperament for Yuugi, as these thunderstorms invoke spine-chilling dread and cause tremendous damage. Yuugi is endowed with Metal Phase, the element of the oni, and Star Essence, as she submits to no rules or regulations that impede her enjoyment.
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.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of wielding unexplainable phenomena
Yuugi Hoshiguma's ability lets her use phenomena that are said to be so incomprehensible that it should not even be possible to discuss them. These unexplainable phenomena that those who value reason and logic hesitate to talk about are as follows:
Anomalies: Mysterious and unnatural occurrences.
Strength: Courage and inexplicable feats of raw might.
Disorder: Immoral antisocial behavior and rebellion.
Spirits: Beings like gods and demons that cannot be seen and surpass human understanding.
However, Yuugi is an oni, and that which is unexplainable is the domain of oni and youkai. Furthermore, the fact that Yuugi is the "Spoken of" Unexplainable Phenomena means that such phenomena become rumors and are talked about in the Human Village, which is quite handy since the continued existence of youkai is dependant on humans fearing them. Yuugi is a prime example of a youkai who has adapted to the current Gensokyo, as her day-to-day consists of pacifying vengeful spirits, taking it easy in Former Hell, and letting off steam by testing her strength whenever she pleases.
Attacks
Kishin Tenka Arts
Yuugi Hoshiguma's Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). She calls forth tenka to attack her opponent. Tenka are a type of onibi, or will-o'-wisp, that make noise when flying across the sky. They are also said to be a type of vengeful spirit.
Bullets
Mysterious Fire
Hitodama - Human Souls
Ubagabi - Old Woman Fire
Ancient Battlefield Fire
Ryutou - Dragon Lights
Nojukubi - Field Fire
One-Horned Lightning
Yuugi Hoshiguma's Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She focuses her qi into the horn on her forehead to call down lightning on her opponents. In the eight trigrams, lightning corresponds to the northeast cardinal direction, which is also known as the kimon, or oni gate, as it is said to be the direction from which oni come to and from. This is why the Shinto god of lightning, Raijin, is depicted similarly in appearance to an oni―A mix between a bull and a tiger.

Oni Sign: Anomalies, Strength, Disorder, and Spirits
Yuugi Hoshiguma's Spell Card. In this attack, she unleashes unfathomable power to demolish her opponents along with the ground upon which they stand. Anomalies, strength, disorder, and spirits are unexplainable phenomena not bound by logic that the Chinese philosopher Confucius avoided talking about. However, Yuugi is the "Spoken-of" Unexplainable Phenomena, so perhaps there is something to her power that demands discussion even though it is not fully understood.

Unspoken Bullet
Big Four Arcanum: Knock Out In Three Steps
Yuugi Hoshiguma's Spell Card. With each step forward, she creates walls of bullets to trap and bring down her opponent. If Yuugi ever brought her full power to bear, this attack would most definitely be a certain knockout. However, according to the records of a certain magician, even though this Spell Card is a massive display of strength, Yuugi is laid-back enough to play around with it.

Guard
Miss Unchained
Yuugi Hoshiguma's Last Word (a Touhou LW original). In this attack, she breaks the shackles of her self-imposed limits and displays a glimpse of her true power. Though in saying that, she is particular in only displaying her power in feats of strength. In the west, there are apparently tales of enormous demons bound with chains in the depths of Hell.

Shackle Shatter
Ice Avalanche Strike
Ice Collapse Strike

Skills
Skill: Hoshiguma Dish
Yuugi's treasured sake dish. There is no one in Gensokyo who wouldn't want to use it...
Skill: Kabukimono
Kabukimono were flamboyantly-dressed ronin of the late 16th century. Yuugi may seem unruly, but she is responsible for maintaining order in the Former Capital.
Skill: Vengeful Spirit Quelling
It is Yuugi's job to pacify the vengeful spirits in the Underworld. Perhaps she is paid by the mistress of the Palace of the Earth Spirits.
