Yuuka's outfit that converts the spring weather into cheer. The large umbrella is particularly striking.
Fairy Kindergarteners' Gardener
Kindergarten literally means "children's garden," so taking care of children should be as easy as tending flowers... right?

I am the youkai, Yuuka Kazami. I crush those who trample on flowers and care for those who cherish flowers. I am just that kind of youkai.
Introduction
Oh, I haven't seen you before. If you fear death, you should turn around and go home. You'll still make it back if you leave right now... Really? You claim to like flowers in my presence? Then I shall ask you a question just for my own amusement. Why do you like flowers? ...You get the feeling that you will remember your home when you smell their fragrance? Hehe, in the winter, I will even water plants that will soon wilt. My name is Yuuka Kazami―I am a youkai who loves flowers.
Purple Heart
Don't worry. Flowers only wilt once they have reached full bloom.
Blue Heart
You are frail in almost every respect, but there is a seed within you.
Green Heart
Oh, did I surprise you? Did you think that because I am a powerful youkai, I would look down on those who are weak? ...Hehe, well, there are many like that in Gensokyo.
Orange Heart
Take flowers, for example. You may claim that they are weak, and while they are frail and do not last for long, I would, in fact, say they are strong. Those who are truly powerful naturally see and understand the world as it truly is. Don't you frail humans love these kinds of philosophies? Hehe.
Pink Heart
Now I understand the seed within you. I cannot let such an adorable seed fend for itself. Is it the mastermind behind this incident who is after it, or is it perhaps... someone you know? Hehehe... Ahahaha!
Summer
Sunflowers are undoubtedly the star of summer. But it is important to remember the strength of the flowers that are also present yet not as easy to notice. I present you with this flower... saxifraga stolonifera, known as "under the snow."
Login
You like flowers, do you not? Then here, I will give you this one. Go and learn all that you can from her today.
Enhancement
It seems that the limits on my power have loosened a little. I'll try to be careful... Hehehe.
Return
Phew, now that we're back, I must tend to these flowers.
Home 1
There are many flowers without names. And whether they are named or not, flowers are still strong and beautiful. There is also a fairy without a name, but she is, in fact, stronger than an average fairy.
Home 2
My parasol? ...Oh, you mean this girl here? She is the only flower in Gensokyo that does not wither―She's like a partner to me and blocks ultraviolet rays as well as bullets.
Home 3
I have known Reimu and Marisa for a long time. And Alice for almost as long. We meet quite regularly at parties nowadays, along with all the others I have come to know.
Reaction 1
Flowers are the fervent fantasies of plants. Do you understand?
Reaction 2
Plants are sustained by the earth, and when the flowers fall, they return there.
Reaction 3
Fragments of souls sink below the earth. Did you know that?
Task
I will watch you perform your task―watch you struggle by your side.
Task Complete
Did you finish your task? ...Oh, is that right? I wasn't watching.
Mail
Hey, read out your mail... Yes, read it louder, please.
Errand Finished
Oh? Someone is back from an errand. Let's go and see them.
Start of Battle
I will snap the confidence that led you to stand in my way.
Mid-Wave
*sigh* You are so frail.
Victory
Oh, over already? ...Now then, what kind of flower would suit you?
Defeat
Let's leave. The losers must concede.

Character Information
Temperament: Hana-arashi
Hana-arashi (a Touhou LW original) refers to a strong wind blowing while cherry blossoms are in bloom as well as flower petals carried by strong winds. This is an apt temperament for Yuuka, a youkai who loves flowers. Yuuka is endowed with Wood Phase, which represents flowers, and Star Essence, which represents dreams and her uninhibited free spirit.
The strong and kind Wood Phase resists Water Phase, because water nourishes wood, but it is weak to Metal Phase, because metal carves wood.
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 flowers
This is Yuuka Kazami's ability to freely control any flower. The limits and conditions for this ability are a mystery, but it seems to be fairly versatile as she has been witnessed making flowers bloom at will and making withered flowers bloom again.
This ability apparently has no direct use in battle. All of Yuuka's strength comes from her sheer physical prowess and immense youkai power... or so she claims. Practically all of the information regarding abilities has come from the user's own proclamations which has been recorded in the Gensokyo Chronicle compiled by the Child of Miare. Thus, the truth could have easily been overexaggerated or concealed, unbeknownst to anyone but Yuuka herself.
In terms of physical strength or durability, flowers are incredibly frail. For starters, there are hardly any plants that continue to bloom for more than one season, and flowers that do bloom are destined to wilt shortly after. But perhaps that is why, irrespective of the time or place, flowers always have been and will forever be loved. So it is quite fitting that Yuuka uses flowers as bullets in Spell Card duels as these battles are fundamentally contests to determine who can make the most beautiful attacks. Flowers are undeniably beautiful, and so are Yuuka's form and ideology when battling against strong opponents with flowers that are meant to be so delicate.
Also, it seems that the reason she adores flowers is related in some way or another to dreams. If the color of flowers is truly gathered from the soil... the color may have something to do with temperament or the fragments of the souls of the dead that have sunk deep below the earth. But there is no way to tell for sure.

Fantasy: The Beauties of Nature
Yuuka Kazami's Spell Card. She paints the landscape by causing a variety of flowers to bloom uncontrollably. Flowers, birds, the wind, and the moon are the things of natural beauty that are traditionally appreciated in Japan. "Sing along with the wind and praise the moon" is a saying in Japan about loving and enjoying the beauty of nature. But depending on how it is read, it can also be taken to mean, "To feign ignorance to the wind and play with the moon," which is also kind of fitting for Yuuka.
