Character Information

Temperament: Akatsuki

Akatsuki (a Touhou LW original) refers to the rising Sun. This is Miko's temperament as someone who followed the universal paths of transmigration in search of a solution to the Lost Word Incident. After training in her mausoleum for an impossibly long time, Miko attained a radiance that can never be dulled by the Moon's shadow, conquering her weakness to Moon Essence. 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 alluring and arrogant Sun Essence resists the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence.

Ability/Backstory: Capable of listening to ten people's conversations at the same time (Lost)

The ability of Toyosatomimi no Miko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Miko completely lost this ability due to a Lost Word. She is currently regaining it little by little, though not through restoring or replicating her old ability, but with a newly constructed original ability that formed a core to build upon. She has continued to travel across worlds to try and end the Lost Word Incident. Miko's ability is all about collecting information. It would take an ordinary human many lifetimes to gather the amount of information Miko can gather in an instant. This is because she listens to things simultaneously, not in sequence. The difference is literally worlds apart. The information she gathers is also more accurate and impartial because she doesn't have to worry about the info's value and meaning changing depending on which order it is heard. As a charismatic politician and influencer of the people, she couldn't hope for a more useful ability. It isn't exactly clear how Miko came to possess this ability. Considering how all the legends depict Prince Shoutoku as a genius and a prodigy, perhaps she nobly began developing this skill at an early age, having foreseen that one day, she would need it to steer the course of an entire nation. Setting aside whether such a thing is possible or not, she undoubtedly worked hard to become a great leader. Those who work hard to achieve their goals possess a natural charisma that inspires the people around them. This can be seen in athletes, fashion models, distinguished creators, actors, and many others―they all shine because they're determined to make their ideal future into a reality. They're constantly on the move, stopping for nothing, and they pull those they pass along with them. Prince Shoutoku is one of these people. That's why they're one of the most beloved rulers of Japan and are still talked about today. In the hope of a brighter future, Toyosatomimi no Miko promoted Buddhism on the one hand, while on the other, she kept the secrets of Taoism to herself. But what about the people she left behind? What about the people and their descendants who truly believed in Miko's Buddhist teachings? Did they feel abandoned? Lost? Some of these people loved her, and considering how much of an influence Miko had on their lives, their response was surely much worse than that. Ikaruga Ikaruga is the place where Miko lived as Prince Shoutoku. It is the life she led and the connections she made. If you think of the Divine Spirit Mausoleum (the place where she was reborn in Gensokyo) as a kind of social networking site, Ikaruga was her own personal website. Her former home encompasses the land of Ikaruga, the shrine she built there, her subjects, her Mibube friends, and her family. There is also a city in modern-day Japan called Ikaruga, but it isn't known whether this is the same place where Prince Shoutoku lived or if it merely borrowed the name.

Attacks

Fantastical National Record

The Spread Shot of Toyosatomimi no Miko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a lost document. The lives of humans are short, so those who possess raw historical data inevitably fade over time. That's why memories must be recorded and passed on to the next generation. If you happen to have any old books in your possession, you should take good care of them.

Eastern Record of the Emperor

The Focus Shot of Toyosatomimi no Miko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a lost record. It is said that many historical documents were lost during the period of transition between the age of myth and antiquity. However, there is no way of knowing whether this is true or not because all the humans who could have remembered have long since departed this world. Unless, of course, you're a nonhuman who has persisted since this time.

Divine Spirit Mausoleum: Repository of Shinaga

A Spell Card of Toyosatomimi no Miko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She uses her loyal advisors' attacks. It is said that Prince Shoutoku was buried alongside their beloved family. While the authenticity of this statement has been lost to time, it can be assumed that Miko did not have an eternally peaceful rest. Otherwise, she would never have awoken again in Gensokyo. Toyosatomimi no Miko has still not achieved all her ambitions.

Divine Spirit Mausoleum: Mibube Academia

A Spell Card of Toyosatomimi no Miko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She uses her trusted teachers' attacks. In all the legends, Prince Shoutoku is depicted as an intelligent and highly skilled individual. The tale about the prince being able to hear ten conversations simultaneously, in particular, showcases their superhuman genius. But such intelligence does not come from nothing, meaning they must have been blessed with a superb education. They probably had many tutors gathered from across the nation and overseas and fellow students with whom they had a friendly rivalry.

Ikaruga - Future Custodians of the Divine Mountain

The Last Word of Toyosatomimi no Miko, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). According to the legends told about Prince Shoutoku in the outside world, he passed away after spreading Buddhist teachings from China, and his descendants perished along with the Soga clan. Many years later, people discredited the prince's promotion of Buddhism, claiming it was merely a ploy to weaken the influence of the Shinto religion. However, around the time his portrait appeared on several bills, including a one hundred million yen bill, these accusations were rescinded, and his reputation improved. In the present day, it is largely contested whether he even existed at all. It is unusual for opinions about a historical figure to sway so drastically back and forth over the ages. However, Miko probably doesn't mind overly much. Her sole wish is for her people to have a peaceful and prosperous future, and such debates wouldn't be possible without peace.
