The usual outfit of Youmu, who has almost reached the end. The Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern's light guides her to Yuyuko.

I'm Youmu Konpaku. I've finally found you after following the Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern's guiding light. Please, come with me!
Introduction
Light, show me the way... Ah! This is...! You're...! I've finally... come this far. I'm Youmu Konpaku. I have traveled for a long time in search of those dear to me. This is my Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern. Lady Yuyuko left it for me, and if I follow its guiding light, I will surely find her again. Come on, join me and the phantoms. Let's go to our journey's end.
Purple Heart
If you're free, would you like to train with me? You are free, aren't you?
Blue Heart
My journey started at the end of all things. There was nothing.
Green Heart
If I didn't have this Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern, I might still be stuck there at the end of all things. Just thinking about it gives me the shivers. I'm so glad I was spared that fate...
Orange Heart
Lots of phantoms and various other spirits assist me. I think they were all lured to me by the lantern's flame. ...It's like a test of courage? D-Don't say that!
Pink Heart
The Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern's light shows the way to Lady Yuyuko... my world's Lady Yuyuko. That's what it was designed for. Lady Yuyuko is probably bored... and hungry. I have to reach her as soon as possible.
Summer
I remember how the Netherworld gets really noisy during the Obon season. Doing the rounds wasn't easy... Oh, sorry. Have I told you about this before?
Login
Now then, let's train together in preparation for the final battle. I'm still trying to relearn the sword skills that I lost. Let's start! One, two!
Enhancement
Come on, phantoms. Let's go cut something to test out our new power.
Return
Haha... I did it again. I can't help but look for Lady Yuyuko whenever I return home.
Home 1
I don't know how it got there, but the Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern just appeared by my side. It looks a bit different now, but I'm sure it was originally Lady Yuyuko's Spirit Lantern.
Home 2
Carrying this Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern is kind of reassuring. It's like a warm memory from the time before I lost everything... But I sometimes sense an intimidating aura coming from it!
Home 3
The phantoms help me out when I gently wave the Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern around like this. Souls of the blades and the spirits of the swords also wield Roukanken and Hakurouken for me.
Reaction 1
"Distant flowers. Your image becomes illusion..."
Reaction 2
"...The wind is fierce. The awaited never come."
Reaction 3
Lady Yuyuko praised that poem I wrote!
Task
Oh, doing tasks counts as training? It's strange, but it feels like I already knew that!
Task Complete
It's amazing how you complete the tasks little by little. They don't make any sense to me!
Mail
Lady Yuyuko used to say that the sooner you read your mail, the better.
Errand Finished
Someone has returned from an errand. For some reason, I really want to know how it all went.
Start of Battle
I don't know the meaning of life or the meaning of death!
Mid-Wave
Even if I don't know the way... I won't give up!
Victory
These noisy battles of bullets are one of the things that Lady Yuyuko loved.
Defeat
I shouldn't make the same mistakes if I've forgotten them. I need to train more.

Character Information
Temperament: Ungai-Souten
Ungai-Souten (a Touhou LW original) refers to how even on a cloudy day, there is a bright blue sky above the clouds. This is often used as a metaphor to mean that anyone can achieve their goals as long as they don't give up. This is an apt temperament for Youmu, who, when facing the end of all things, chose to keep on working hard to accomplish every little thing she could rather than try to wrack her brain for a solution.
Youmu's temperament has been completely reconstructed.
She utilizes her swords and her years of training (Metal Phase), her living half and the garden's plants (Wood Phase), and her dead half and the phantoms of the Netherworld (Water Phase).
However, the transmigration of souls (Fire Phase) and the immutable samsara (Earth Phase) seem to reject her.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of sword fighting (Lost)
The ability of Youmu Konpaku, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Youmu 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.
Half-human half-phantoms are beings detached from the cycle of reincarnation. Even if they were sent to Hell, they would have to be treated as humans. It is a mystery how this species and the Konpaku family came into being, but there couldn't be more suitable servants for Yuyuko Saigyouji, who also stands on the border of life and death as a ghost.
Youmu is alive yet not alive, dead yet not dead. This may be why her reaction to the end brought about by the Lost Word was so unique. You could say that this aspect, coupled with the fact she is still half-baked and inexperienced, has granted her the perfect state of constant limbo. Her unique view on life and death is somewhat similar to the old spirit of bushido, the moral code of samurai.
She has transcended life and death and bears no attachment to either. Youmu Konpaku merely sprints to her beloved mistress's side.
Matsuyoi Spirit Lantern: This item is an altered version of Yuyuko Saigyouji's Spirit Lantern (also known as the Soul Torch). It used to just be a tool that gathered phantoms with its light, but this ability has been altered and expanded upon so it could lead Youmu to her mistress. It can also be used to command various spirits... or, rather, ask for their assistance. This lantern is much more potent than the original Spirit Lantern, so something must have boosted its power. Perhaps it has been possessed by a mighty phantom, like some kind of cursed item...
Attacks
Sword Soul - Spirit Medium
The Spread Shot of Youmu Konpaku, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Hakurouken's spirit assists Youmu in this attack. There is a belief that everything harbors a soul. This includes trees, stones, and even tools. Swords are often believed to harbor particularly potent souls, perhaps because they are tools that can be used for self-defense or to take the lives of others.
Bullets
Hakurouken's Spirit Energy
Hakurouken's Sword Energy
Hakurouken's Youkai Energy
Hakurouken's Phantom Energy
Hakurouken's Anger
Hakurouken's Haki
Sword Soul - Spirit Possession
The Focus Shot of Youmu Konpaku, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Roukanken's spirit assists Youmu in this attack. When thinking of tools that harbor souls, the first thing that comes to mind is probably tsukumogami. However, tsukumogami are born from a grudge against the tool's owner, so sword spirits are not always tsukumogami. These spirits are sometimes considered divine spirits and are worshiped as gods with their own distinct personalities.

Phantom: Daily Life in the Netherworld Slash
A Spell Card of Youmu Konpaku, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She uses her swords to paint a picture of her daily life in the Netherworld with all the phantoms. It is often assumed that Youmu is always busy running errands and the like for Hakugyokurou, but Youmu herself has said that the phantoms do the chores. The Netherworld is a place where phantoms gather to await transmigration or their judgment from the Yama, so most phantoms probably "live" there for quite a number of years. Entertainment is a valuable commodity in the Netherworld, where the long days blend into each other, so it is only natural that the phantoms are kicked into a jubilant frenzy whenever the cherry blossoms bloom.
Bullets

Netherworld Phantoms' Breakfast
Netherworld Phantoms' Work

Poltergeist: Spirit Wheel Triple Slash
A Spell Card of Youmu Konpaku, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). She uses her swords to paint a picture of the poltergeist sisters' performance. The poltergeist sisters, who live by the Misty Lake in Gensokyo, are the usual guests of honor at any party hosted in Hakugyokurou. The mistress of Hakugyokurou, Yuyuko Saigyouji, loves having fun, so their diverse and quality performances must have held a special place in her heart. And Youmu probably enjoyed them too as she watched and listened by Yuyuko's side. Music truly is a wonderful thing, isn't it?

Enlightenment - Saigyouji Parinirvana Slash
The Last Word of Youmu Konpaku, who has almost reached the end (a Touhou LW original). Youmu recalls the people dear to her in this attack. Youmu is half-baked, inexperienced, impressionable, and somewhat absent-minded, but she values two things above all else. The first is her swordsmanship―her livelihood that she inherited along with her position from her teacher and grandfather, Youki Konpaku. The other is her mistress, Yuyuko Saigyouji. Their bond is thicker than blood.
When Youmu lost everything, she did not feel despair, anger, or grief... but courage―the courage to rouse her spirits and strive to bring back the people dear to her.

Skills
Skill: Saigyouji Bodyguard
Youmu is also Yuyuko's bodyguard. Yuyuko's absence does not change that.
Skill: Envoy of Six Realms
Youmu also works as an envoy of the Netherworld. Be it Heaven, Hell, or the Animal Realm, she'll fly to wherever she is needed.
Skill: Netherworld Gardener
The gardens of Hakugyokurou are incredibly vast. Is it also Youmu's job to maintain the Saigyou Ayakashi?
