Memoirs of the Touhou

* Letty Whiterock (レティ・ホワイトロック)
o Species : Yōkai
o Ability : Manipulation of the cold

Stage 1 boss. A yōkai who only appears during winter. In her own words, spring is for hibernation, summer is for sleeping, and autumn is for napping, thus winter is her only time for activity. She enjoys herself in the extended winter, and thus gets in the protagonists' way as they seek to end it; however, she seems to accept the fact that winter must end someday, and doesn't attack them seriously.


* Chen (橙)
o Species : Shikigami (Nekomata)
o Ability : Sorcery
o Residence : Mayoiga

Stage 2 boss and extra stage midboss. She is a nekomata who was made Ran's shikigami, which makes her a shikigami of a shikigami. She is able to summon powerful oni, but her powers are somewhat limited somewhat because of her secondary status. As a cat, she is afraid of the water and cuddles in a kotatsu during winter. She is often depicted as a childish catgirl.


* Alice Margatroid (アリス・マーガトロイド)
o Species : Magician
o Ability : Magic, especially puppetry
o Residence : Forest of Magic

Returning from Mystic Square, Alice is the first PC-98 character (besides the main characters) to make an appearance in the Windows games. She now lives in the Forest of Magic. She is superficially similar to Marisa; they live alone nearby one another, are both magicians, and both of them love to collect things.

Alice, however, is quite different in personality. She is aloof, rarely caring much about others and often attacking them for her own amusement. However, Immaterial and Missing Power states that she is actually a coward at heart, which made her into the most abused character in doujin; there she is a fragile and oversensitive girl who desperately seeks Marisa's affection, nearly the inverse of her in-game character.

Though she still carries the grimoire around, Alice now manipulates dolls to create her danmaku, and is perhaps the most skilled puppeteer in Gensokyo. Of special note is a doll named Shanghai, who is the most prominently featured doll among the games and derivative fanworks.

In the official fanbook Perfect Memento of Strict Sense, it is stated that Alice was originally a human who became a magician through training. However, this seems to contradict her background from Mystic Square.

* Lily White (リリーホワイト) Alternate spelling Lilywhite
o Species : Fairy
o Ability : Reporting spring's approach.

A fairy that heralds the arrival of spring. However, since she expresses herself with danmaku rather than words, her announcement is usually seen as a hostile attack.

She is the first midboss to receive an official character profile.

In the "Muenzuka" stage of Phantasmasgoria of Flower View, a black version of Lily White shows up instead of the normal version. Fans have named her Lily Black, and gave her a darker character as opposed to the cheerful Lily White.




* Prismriver Sisters (プリズムリバー三姉妹)
o Species : Poltergeists
o Ability : Playing musical instruments without physical contact
o Residence : Poltergeist Mansion

Bosses of stage 4. They are poltergeists in the shape of three sisters. They were originally daughters of a human noble, but an unfortunate event caused his four daughters to separate. The fourth daughter, Layla Prismriver, was unable to leave the mansion that held so many of her memories. Using her power, she conjured poltergeists with the appearance of her older sisters, then slowly became forgotten along with the mansion and the poltergeists.

Even though the humans died with the passage of time, the poltergeists continue their noisy lives in that mansion to this day.

The three Prismriver Sisters, now musical performers of some note, were employed by Yuyuko Saigyouzi to provide entertainment for the upcoming flower-viewing. The protagonists encounter them at the gate to the netherworld.

* Lunasa Prismriver (ルナサ・プリズムリバー)
o Ability : Playing notes of melancholy

The eldest of the Prismriver Sisters. She plays the violin and prefers solo performances. Honest to a fault, she is perhaps the most well-adjusted of the sisters.

* Merlin Prismriver (メルラン・プリズムリバー)
o Ability : Playing notes of excitement

The middle child of the Prismriver Sisters. She plays the trumpet. Her magic is the strongest of the three sisters, but her technique is not very good. Despite this, she is cheerful and tends to obsess over things.

* Lyrica Prismriver (リリカ・プリズムリバー)
o Ability : Playing notes of fantasia

The youngest of the poltergeist Prismriver Sisters. Although skilled with all instruments, she prefers keyboard and percussion. She is clever and manipulative, usually goading her older sisters into doing her fighting rather than engaging in battle herself.



* Youmu Konpaku (魂魄 妖夢)
o Species : Half-human half-ghost
o Ability : Swordsmanship
o Residence : Hakugyokurō

Stage 5 boss and stage 6 midboss, in addition, she is a playable character in Touhou 7.5-9 as well. Youmu is the gardener of the netherworld pagoda, Hakugyokurō. She comes from a very rare breed, the half-ghosts; in this strange combination, the human half and ghost half exist in physically separate bodies, but are always close by one another. Youmu is very young for a half-ghost, under 60 years; her exact age is unknown.

Despite this, she may be the most mature of all the main characters. She is straightforward, focused and loyal to her mistress, Yuyuko. It is only rarely that she lets a childish fear or urge show through. Paradoxically, she is afraid of ghosts (the imaginary sort.)

Her talent is swordsmanship. In the games, she is characterized by creating powerful danmaku with her sword slashes, and slowing time (not via magic similar to Sakuya's, but rather intense concentration.)


* Yuyuko Saigyouzi (西行寺 幽々子) Alternate spelling Yuyuko Saigyouji
o Species : Ghost
o Ability : Invoke death
o Residence : Hakugyokurō

Final stage boss, also a playable character in Touhou 7.5 and 8. Yuyuko is the princess of the netherworld pagoda, Hakugyokurō. She is a ghost, but unlike most of her kind, looks entirely human. Living in the netherworld, she doesn't socialize much with the rest of Gensokyo. Her only friend from outside is Yukari. Her family name Saigyozi suggests relations with the famed poet Saigyo.

Yuyuko, at first appearance, is a ditz; her mental processes seem to be dedicated mainly to teasing her gardener and servant, Youmu, and anticipating her next meal. However, her usual manner conceals a sharp mind and an almost prenatural depth of insight. For instance, she was the only one to perceive what sort of being Fujiwara no Mokou was at first sight.

Yuyuko has the power to invoke death in any mortal; however, she uses it rarely and with discretion. Her danmaku are characterized by butterfly-shaped bullets.


* Ran Yakumo (八雲 藍)
o Species : Shikigami (Kitsune)
o Ability : Control shikigami
o Residence : The boundaries of Gensokyo

Extra stage boss and Phantasm stage midboss. A nine-tailed fox yōkai whom Yukari Yakumo made her shikigami. She is considerably powerful even without her master's support; among other things, she uses this power to maintain her own shikigami, Chen. Since Yukari sleeps twelve hours a day, she handles the work during these times. (In doujin she is often depicted as a harassed servant, doing all the work for her lazy master.)


* Yukari Yakumo (八雲 紫)
o Species : Yōkai
o Ability : Manipulation of boundaries
o Residence : The boundaries of Gensokyo

Phantasm stage boss, and playable in Touhou 7.5 and 8. Yukari is an elder yōkai who dwells on the border of Gensokyo, and may predate the existence of the realm itself. A good friend of Yuyuko's and an acquaintance of Reimu's. She is the self-appointed stewardess of the seal between Gensokyo and the outside world, but doesn't do a particularly good job of it...

Most of the time, she is asleep, leaving all the work to her shikigami Ran and Ran's shikigami Chen. When she isn't, she tends to amuse herself by pulling in unprepared humans from the outside world and stranding them in Gensokyo. A very irresponsible yōkai.

Her ability is the manipulation of boundaries, and such boundaries distinguish her spellcards. Often, though, she just summons her shikigami and various others to create her danmaku for her.(wikipedia)
