PC-98WindowsPrinted Works Mystic Square English TranslationJapanese “ 1. Mystic Square Backstory Deep in the mountains of an eastern land, the Hakurei shrine was a little bit peaceful. Speaking of the Hakurei shrine, its shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei, didn't seem too free at the moment. Why? Because a constant flow of demons, while few in number, were being sent from Makai. Reimu was busy constantly exterminating them, so she constantly had no free time. Reimu: "Things have been a little strange lately." Since Reimu felt something strange was occurring, she decided it was her duty to investigate, so she searched for where the demons were coming from. Eventually, Reimu discovered that the demons were appearing from the "Cave in Which the Door to Makai is Said to Be" (actual name) which had existed since long ago in the mountains behind the shrine. Reimu: "This has to be the place. There's no point in dealing with all these small fry. I've got to bust into Makai and teach their boss a lesson." Marisa Kirisame, who was observing this... Marisa: "Hmm... Makai, huh? That could be fun." Since Makai was the mecca of magic, she decided to go there (as a tourist) and immediately left to go without telling Reimu. Reimu: "Right, I wonder how I'm supposed to even get in. (sweat)" -- Meanwhile... Two of the residents of the human world, Mima, an evil spirit, and Yuuka, a youkai, didn't seem too happy about things from Makai coming into the human world. Mima: "Those snobby Makai demons. Don't they know that the human world is mine?" Yuuka: "This seems interesting! I've always wanted to go to Makai!" For these somewhat nonsensical reasons, the two of them each headed for Makai separately. Hmm. „ ~ Mystic Square Prologue English Translation “ １．東方怪綺談バックストーリー ここはとある東の国の山の中、博麗神社はちょっと平穏だった。 で、博麗神社の巫女、博麗靈夢（はくれい　れいむ）はというと、今回は余り暇では無いようである。 なぜか、少量だがコンスタントに魔界から魔物が送られてきているのである。 靈夢はコンスタントにそいつらを退治するので、コンスタントに暇では無いのであった。 靈夢「最近、ちょっと異常だわ～」 異変を感じた靈夢は、原因を調べるべく、魔物たちが何処から現れるのかを探ったのであった。 その結果、神社の裏山に昔からあった、「魔界の扉があるといわれる洞窟」 （そのまま）から現れることがわかった。 靈夢「やはりここね。ザコをいくら倒してもしょうがないわ。ここはひとつ魔界にのりこんで、親玉をこらしめるしかないわね。」 その様子をうかがってた霧雨魔理沙（きりさめ　まりさ）は、 魔理沙「う～ん、魔界か～、それもいいわね。」 魔法のメッカでもある魔界に、（観光で）いくことに決め、さっそく靈夢にないしょで出かけていったのであった。 靈夢「ところで、どうやって魔界にいくのかしら（汗）」 －－　一方そのころ。 人間界に住む悪霊、魅魔（みま）と妖怪、幽香（ゆうか）は、二人とも人間界に魔界の者がやってくるのは、あまりかんばしくないようである。 魅魔「魔界人のくせに、生意気だわ。人間界は私のものなのに」 幽香「おもしろそ～、魔界っていってみたかったんだ～」 よく分からない理由で、二人は別々に魔界を目指したのだった。う～ん。 „ ~ Mystic Square Prologue Japanese Alice first appears in Mystic Square during the third stage, introduced as a young-looking magician bearing the title "Girl of Death". She confronts Reimu, Marisa, Mima, or Yuuka as they invade Makai, but is defeated. She later reappears in the Extra Stage under the title "Alice of the Magic Land". Confident after obtaining her grimoire, she seeks to finally defeat the heroine, though she loses once again despite her preparations. {{#tag:tabber| |-|First Windows Generation= Perfect Cherry Blossom Reimu's back sprite in Perfect Cherry Blossom English TranslationJapanese “ —Gensokyo Record— This is a remote place in an eastern country, far from any human habitation. In ancient times, this was a place of terror. Those who wandered too close would be eaten by youkai. People named this place Gensokyo and never dared to approach. Most people feared the youkai, but a brave warrior would occasionally rise to defeat them. Some of those brave humans settled in Gensokyo to keep close watch on the youkai. In those times, humans would fight with youkai every night. Stories like those were common in this mountain country, and many places like Gensokyo existed in those times. Over a thousand years have passed since then... Humans gradually built up a civilization. Humans don't fear the dark anymore. Since they grew to the point where they could produce light to make it seem like midday even at midnight. Because the humans blindly followed materialistic science, unscientific worlds - in other words, those with things like youkai and oni - were eventually excluded as superstition. Gensokyo was deemed useless to the human world as well, so priests sealed it away with the Great Barrier, which could never be opened again. Of course, both the youkai and the descendants of the brave humans who kept them in check were sealed away in the process as well... That marked the end of the history of humans and youkai. With the passing of time, those who still knew of Gensokyo died out... Though innumerable years have passed since its sealing, Gensokyo is still home to many youkai and just a few humans. The youkai of Gensokyo have built up their own culture; one that is all that like the culture of the world when Gensokyo was sealed. However, it was not a materialistic culture - it was a culture centered upon spiritual awareness far exceeding that of the human world. The wise youkai sought not the bounty of objects, but the bounty of the heart. For the youkais with such a civilization of magic, it is very easy for them to open the Great Barrier sealing Gensokyo. However, the youkai do not attempt to open it. On the contrary, they actually reinforced the barrier with an even stronger power. The barrier that had once locked Gensokyo away was now used in order to prevent invasion by the humans. Nonetheless, the main diet of youkai is, of course, humans. Natural products are especially popular. Food-gathering teams would go out at regular intervals to hunt humans. Of course, the youkai couldn't let the humans know about their presence. Under the guise of various accidents and incidents of people running away from home, the youkai hunted humans. A simple missing person would barely even make the news since there were too many people in the human world. Thus, the history of humans and youkai began anew. The world may be a land of youkai, but even now, lost humans sometimes end up there. They are said by the outside world to have been "spirited away". Most of the humans that end up in Gensokyo aren't able to return, but in the event that they are able to return to their original world, their spiriting away would only be met by a mountain of questions. Those people would unanimously say that the person was crazy, and would be believed by no one. They'd claim things like "I saw Togenkyo", or "I went to Houraisan". Those who visit Gensokyo seem to believe that it is a legendary paradise. At first glance, it looks like a utopia without anything unnatural, everything working in favor of the creatures living there. There is no doubt that, from the point of view of a person from the human world, this place was none other than paradise. Gensokyo is a paradise for many youkai and a few humans. It will remain a paradise until humans are destroyed, or it is discovered by humans. The following story is a record of the peaceful and fantastic everyday events that take place only in Gensokyo. P.S. So, why is Gensokyo a paradise for humans if they have to live with youkai? Well, that's because when everyone has enough power to defeat youkai in combat, and that's anything but boring! (Inscribed by the 13th shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine) „ ~ Perfecy Cherry Blossom Prologue English Translation -Gensokyo Record- “ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom - 0 - As spring turns to summer, the land is coated in silver illusions. People relax and bask in the calm of a winter with no end in sight. However, none of that mattered to dogs or youkai, who are as energetic as ever. There have never been many humans in Gensokyo, but youkai of the winter were making plenty of noise. The time is ripe for snow to melt away, and for snow storms to be replaced with storms of cherry blossoms. Even Gensokyo changes with the seasons, but this year... ...It is now May, and spring has shown no sign of arriving. - 1 - Reimu Hakurei, the maiden of the Hakurei shrine who lives in Gensokyo, didn't like the cold. Reimu: "Ahh, it's cold." It's just that this time, her complaint was that it was already May. The snowfall and blizzards had been fierce for a week, with no sign of stopping. Reimu: "The cherry blossoms should have bloomed by now. Why is there so much snow this year?" She figured she could find out why without asking about it. More talking would have made her colder anyway, so instead, she headed out to go straight to the source of the problem. Reimu: "(Hmm, it seems to be coming from this direction, I guess?)" Being of old-fashioned construction, the shrine was easily penetrated by wind, and even some snow, so it was as cold inside as it was outside. As usual, she turned to her intuition for guidance and set off. - 2 - Marisa Kirisame, an ordinary magician, liked the cold sometimes and hated it other times, just like other ordinary humans. Marisa: "It's ordinary, but I don't hate spring." The Kirisame residence was always warmed by a magical heater. Or, even without it, the magical room were warm by themselves anyway. Marisa: "I can't visit the shrine during such a storm." She saw some light pink petals floating by in the snowstorm in front of her house. They were petals that came from a flower that only bloomed in the spring in this eastern country. Yes - they were petals from a cherry tree. Marisa: "Is this the only place that still feels like winter? May's already here, but you wouldn't know it from the cold." If she followed the wind, she should find cherry trees blooming. The snowstorms and high altitudes on a mountain should cause flowers to bloom slower, so why were cherry petals coming from that direction? She decided to follow the trail of cherry blossom petals to find the spring that wouldn't come. - 3 - Sakuya Izayoi, a maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, was sipping bitter coffee in a warm room. Sakuya: "We'll run out of charcoal and coffee beans soon." Indeed, humans couldn't survive this winter without anything to burn for heat. Sakuya: "I didn't expect winter to be so long. If we run out of supplies, the mistress will start complaining." No one does home deliveries this far. Residents of Gensokyo prepare food and fuel for an entire winter in advance. Roads were buried by the snow, rendering them completely useless. Thus, the preparing has become a tradition that hasn't been changed in a very long time. Sakuya: "I should put an end this winter before fuel run out. My lady, I'll be away until spring comes." The mistress confirmed that spring would come the very next day, so she happily bid Sakuya on her way. -4- Gensokyo was in the middle of a truly long-lasting winter. May had only seen the coming of even stronger snow storms. But in Gensokyo at this state, there was a place unknown to anybody that was filled with flowers in full bloom. Or literally, no "humans" knew about it. In Gensokyo, there are few "humans" to begin with. And spring has yet to come. „ ~ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom Prologue English Translation “ －幻想郷風土記－ ここは、東の国の人里離れた辺境の地である。 はるか昔この地は、迷い込んだら最後、妖怪たちに喰われてし 　　まう、と恐れられていたのだ。 　　人々はここを「幻想郷」と呼び、決して近づく事は無かった。 人々は妖怪に恐怖し、時には退治を行う勇敢な人間も現れたり 　　した。そうした勇敢な人間の中には、妖怪が人里に下りていか 　　ないよう見張る為、幻想郷に住み着くものも現れた。 　　この頃は、妖怪と人間の戦いが毎夜の様に行われていたのだ。 この様な話は、この山国には良くある話で、特に珍しい話では 　　ない。この様な場所もいたるところに存在した時代であった。 そういう時代が１０００年以上続いた... 　　次第に人間は文明を築きあげた。もう人間は暗闇を恐れない。 　　なぜなら、夜でさえ、昼のような明るさで周りを照らすことが 　　出来るようになっていたのだから。 　　人間は唯物科学を盲信しだし、非科学的な世界、つまり妖怪や 　　鬼などという世界は、迷信だと排除していったのだ。 　　幻想郷も、人間界に必要無いと判断され僧侶達が力を合わせ、 　　２度と解けない大結界を張られてしまった。もちろん、幻想郷 　　に住む多くの妖怪と勇敢な人間の末裔と共に... 　　そのとき、人間と妖怪の歴史は完全に終わったのだ。 　　しばらくたって、幻想郷を知る人間は居なくなった... 　　封印されてからどのくらい時間が経っただろうか、ここ幻想郷 　　は、あの時と変わらず多くの妖怪と、僅かばかりの人間が住ん 　　でいた。 　　幻想郷の妖怪達は、ここで独自の文明を築き上げていたのだ。 　　その文明は、見た目は閉じ込められた時代から余り変わってい 　　ない。しかし、それは唯物の文明ではない、人間界よりはるか 　　に優れた精神中心文明なのだ。賢い妖怪達は、物の豊かさより 　　心の豊かさを求めたからであろう。 　　このような魔法文明の妖怪にとって、幻想郷を封じた大結界は、 　　すでに解くことも自在になっていた。しかし、妖怪達は解こう 　　とはしない。それどころか、さらに強い力で大結界を張り直し 　　ていた。元々は幻想郷を封印するための結界を、今は人間の侵 　　入を防ぐために使用していたのだ。 　　とはいえ、妖怪の主な食料は人間である。特に天然物が人気だ。 　　そのため、食料班は定期的に人間を狩りに出ていた。もちろん 　　そのとき人間に妖怪の存在を気付かれてはいけない。妖怪達は、 　　色々な事故や家出に見せかけて、人間を狩っていた。その程度 　　の行方不明者はニュースにもならない、人間界の人間は増えす 　　ぎていたのだ。 　　こうして、人間と妖怪の新しい歴史は築かれていた。 　　そんな妖怪世界の幻想郷だが、今でも、たまに道に迷った人間 　　が紛れ込むこともある。 　　彼らは、外の世界では「神隠し」と呼ばれているようだ。 　　多くの人間は幻想郷から戻ることは出来ないが、運良く元の世 　　界に戻れると、彼らは神隠しのことを山のように質問されるに 　　違いない。 　　その彼らは口々にこう言い、頭がおかしくなったのだと、誰に 　　も信じてもらえないのだ。 　　　「桃源郷を見た」だとか「蓬莱山に行った」のだと。 　　ここを訪れた人間は、この地を伝説の楽園だと思うらしい。 　　一見、見た目は無何有郷でありつつ、全てがここに棲む生き物 　　のために機能した文明も兼ね添えていた。そう、ここは人間界 　　の人間から見て、紛れも無く楽園だったのだ。 　　幻想郷は、多くの妖怪たちと僅かばかりの人間の楽園であった。 　　この楽園は、人類が滅びるか人間に発見されるまで楽園のまま 　　なのだ。 　　これからの出来事は、全て幻想郷内だけで起きる平和で不思議 　　な日々の記録に過ぎない。 　　P.S. 　　幻想郷に住む人間にとって、妖怪と一緒で何で楽園かって？ 　　それは、皆妖怪に負けないくらいの力を身につけてるし、なん 　　てったって、退屈しないじゃないの。 　　　　　　　　　（博麗神社　第１３代巫女　記） „ ~ Perfecy Cherry Blossom Prologue Japanese －幻想郷風土記－ “ 東方妖々夢　～ Perfect Cherry Blossom. －０－ 暖かい季節は終わり、辺境は白銀の幻想に閉ざされた。人々は、いつ 　終わるとも分からない長い冬に、大人しくなった。 しかし、元気な犬と妖怪達には冬など関係なかったのだ。そう、ここ 　幻想郷は、もとより人間の数は少なかったこともあり、冬は冬の妖怪 　たちで騒がしかったのだ。 　次第に雪は溶け、白銀の吹雪も桜吹雪へと変化する頃になった。 　幻想郷も、例外なく暖かい季節になるはずだったのだ。 　そして５月、春はまだ来ない。 －１－ 　幻想郷にある博麗神社の巫女さん、博麗 霊夢（はくれい れいむ）は 　寒いのは苦手だった。 　　霊夢「あー、寒いわねー」　 　ただ、いつもと違うことは「今がもう５月である」という事だった。 　雪はいっそう激しく、この吹雪ももう一週間は続こうとしていた。　 　　霊夢「もう、いつもなら桜も咲こうという時期よねぇ。 　　　　　今年は何でこんなに大雪なの？」 　少女は、どうせ口に出さなくても分かるような理由だと思ったのだ。 　だから、しゃべると寒いので黙って原因を潰しにいくことにした。　 　　霊夢（ところで、原因の居る方はこっちでいいのかな？） 　神社は昔ながらの建物で風通しもよく、いや、吹きっさらしだったの 　で、家に居ても居なくても同じだったのである。少女はいつもどおり 　勘を頼りに出発したのだった。 　－２－ 　普通の魔法使いさん、霧雨 魔理沙（きりさめ まりさ）は、寒いのも 　普通の人間同様、それなりに嫌い、それなりに楽しんでいた。 　　魔理沙「ふつーだけどさ、春も嫌いじゃないんだけどな」 　霧雨邸は、魔暖房があったので暖かかった。そうでなくても魔法室は 　何かしら暖かいものなのだ。 　　魔理沙「こんなに吹雪じゃ、神社にも遊びにいけないぜ」 　少女は自分の家の前の吹雪に、薄桃色の花びらが雪に混じっているの 　を見た。ここ東の国の春にしか咲かない花の花弁。 　そう桜だったのだ。 　　魔理沙「もしかして、まだ、冬なのここら辺だけ？ 　　　　　　つーか、もう５月じゃん、寒いんで気付かなかったぜ」　 　風上に行けば桜が咲いている筈である。ただ、吹雪は山の上から吹き 　降ろされていた。山の上ほど開花が遅い筈なのに・・・。 　少女は、桜の花びらを辿って、まだ見ぬ春を目指して出発した。 －３－ 　紅魔館のメイドさん、十六夜 咲夜（いざよい さくや）は暖かい部屋 　で苦い珈琲を飲んでいた。 　　咲夜「そろそろ用意した豆炭と珈琲豆が切れるわね」 　さすがに、暖房燃料が切れたら人間はこの冬を越せないだろう。 　　咲夜「さすがにこんなに冬が続くとは思ってなかったからな、 　　　　　燃料切らしたら、またお嬢様がうるさいし。」 　ここまで配達にくるような人間はいない、幻想郷の住人は、燃料食料 　すべて一冬分まとめて用意するのである。それは、元から険しい道が 　大雪で完全になくなってしまうためであり、ずっと昔から変わること 　の無い習慣だったのだ。 　　咲夜「燃料尽きる前に、冬を終わらせればいいんだわ。 　　　　　お嬢様、春までお暇をいただきますよ」 　このときお嬢様は、あと一日もすれば春になることを確信した。だか 　ら、快く咲夜を送り出したのだ。 －４－ 幻想郷は本当に永い冬だった。 　５月を過ぎてから、一層吹雪も強くなったようだ。 そんな幻想郷にも、花が満開な場所が人知れず存在していた。 　文字通り、そのことを「人」は知らなかった。 　ここ幻想郷は、もとより「人」の数は少なかったのだ。 　そして春はまだ来ない。 „ ~ Touhou Youyoumu Ghostly Dream ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom Prologue Japanese In Perfect Cherry Blossom, Alice has no particular reason for fighting Reimu or Marisa, merely happening to be present when the protagonist passes through and thus becoming an opponent by chance. Immaterial and Missing Power English TranslationJapanese “ The long winter, the short but grand spring, has withdrawn from Gensokyo. The cherry blossoms that dyed that mountain in light purple have receded, and the land has been wrapped in a deep green... But humans, ghosts, and many others were still gathering for cherry blossom viewings, again and again. This cherry blossom viewing was not restricted to just the girls of Gensokyo. Every time a feast was held, an unknown, restless, strange aura in Gensokyo also increased in strength. ――However, even with the rise of this strange aura, nothing has happened yet. Nothing was known about the criminal's motive. Even their objective remained unknown. When this strange aura strengthens, not a single person tries to stop this recurring feast. As such, everyone who comes to the feast, be it humans or youkai, appears to be very suspicious. There's only three days left until the next feast.

She begins by looking into her neighbor, Reimu Hakurei, as well as Sakuya Izayoi, hoping to put a stop to the celebrations. Patchouli Knowledge suggests she try having a "nice, straightforward discussion" with the mist, offering Alice a subtle clue. She approaches Youmu Konpaku for assistance in communicating with a phantom the size of Gensokyo, but ultimately decides to head to the Hakurei Shrine, where the feast is scheduled to take place. There, she encounters and defeats Yukari Yakumo, who then forces the true culprit—Suika Ibuki—to reveal herself. Alice defeats Suika as well, resolving the incident. Imperishable Night Reimu's back sprite in Imperishable Night Reimu's sprite in Imperishable Night English TranslationJapaneseSecond Windows Generation “ -0- Summer is drawing to a close. Soon, chirping crickets will take over for buzzing cicadas. Gensokyo's hot nights are cooling down, making it a comfortable time for humans and youkai alike. Times are peaceful as usual. From a human perspective, leastwise. Touhou Eiyashou (Eternal Night Vignette) ~ Imperishable Night -1- There is an old mansion located at the edge of Gensokyo. Its appearance radiates the feeling of its history and a kind of atmosphere that rejects visitors. Items that look as though they might be from the outer world have somehow found their way into this house. Strange machines, books that make no sense, magazines. One such object, an iron box that was once a television, now serves the role of spiritual storage. "Spirits can live well in something that used to display human shapes," she'd say to her shikigami. This is the home of Yukari Yakumo, the youkai of boundaries. Ever since becoming aware of a slight abnormality in Gensokyo, she hasn't been able to sleep well, even during the day. The enemy was yet to be seen, but she was certain that it must have taken someone powerful to pull that off. She doesn't get out often, however, and it will be very bothersome for her to take an action alone. "Hey, I can rope her in and let her handle this problem." So she set out for the shrine, another building located at the edge of Gensokyo. There's a human that she knows there. It's a carefree person who always happens to be bored, so she'll gladly undertake the task of resolving whatever trouble there is. -2- It smells ominous. It is said that the forest eats humans. Humans usually maintain a safe distance from it.Its atmosphere constantly brims with an unearthly evil. The Forest of Magic, a place where all the evil in Gensokyo naturally gathers. Within that forest, small human figures are gathered into a small building. Human figures smaller than humans. The rainbow-colored puppeteer, Alice Margatroid, is reading books amidst a mountain of dolls. "How can humans possibly not be aware of this huge disaster?" "Dunno." If nothing is done, we won't be able to enjoy that. She isn't the type of person who gets out often, but no one else was interested in the problem, so she set out to investigate for herself. Or rather, she tried to. "I don't like this, they're used to this kind of thing, so they should do it." "Yeah, really." She knew nothing about the enemy and had no idea how to get started. In the end, she decided to visit a human who also lived in the forest, to let her take care of the issue. She brought a few books along...... Grimoires. Books that any human would find extremely rare and difficult to get ahold of. That person would never be able to refuse such an offer. -3- "Sakuya, where are you?" There is a European mansion located next to a lake; a scarlet mansion. A shrill voice was echoing all through its halls, as usual. Between a lake of glistening white and a forest of verdant green stood a mansion of unyielding scarlet. It should be an awkward sight, but strangely, it's very soothing. It is said that time stops flowing within this mansion, the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It's not a metaphor. Remilia Scarlet, a vampire, was looking for her personal maid. "Have you already done that as I asked?" "I beg your pardon, my Lady, but I couldn't get what actually you meant to..." Unfortunately, she was apparently unsuccessful at communicating with the human before her. "Fine! I'll do it myself, Sakuya, so you do daily stu... Well, whatever you want." Obviously, she had not been ordered to stay home. The maid has no choice but to attend her mistress as a protection charm. "You know that you won't be able to do anything after sunrise," she said in her heart. It's so peaceful and nothing in particular is happening, so she'll just go back home once the mistress gets tired, the maid thought lightly. Of course, that too was left unspoken. -4- No other place in Gensokyo can match the silence of this place. However, it isn't bleak. It has a peaceful atmosphere like a sleeping soul. There is no sign of any disturbance; nature's bounty and refreshing wind is the sole source of sound. This is the Netherworld, the land of the dead. There isn't a living human anywhere to be found. The ghosts there, however, enjoy a lively afterlife. "So, Lady Yuyuko's not aware of this?" The most vivid and largest place in this quiet world. The Hakugyokurou. Youmu Konpaku, a gardener, was pondering whether to tell her mistress about a most recent incident. At that moment, she found her lady heading toward her. Good timing. "Ah, Lady Yuyuko..." "Youmu, are you still ignoring that?" "Eh? ... What do you mean by 'that'?" "What, you're not even aware of it? That's why you're ragged about your dullness." She doesn't remember being ragged, but it seems that her lady was aware of the trouble as well. "So you were talking about the Moon? I am certainly aware of that. You only said that, and so suddenly..." "It looks like no one's taking action, so why don't you have a go, Youmu?" "Ehh, why so?" "Just kidding. You're too unreliable anyway. That human we saw the other day was better... well, I will do it then." "No way, please don't be such a meanie... I shall go too." "I really meant what I said about unreliability, though." Yuyuko Saigyouji, the ghostly mistress of the Saigyouji family, ragged Youmu. "Wait, do you have any idea where to go, my Lady?" "Of course, a lot of them. As we shoot stuff down, we'll eventually find a lead." "That's where you're wrong, Lady Yuyuko. You rely too much on raw power and have bad aim, so it takes even longer. You should concentrate your attack more, look..." "Your back is so undefended, Youmu." Yuyuko was really worried about Youmu going out alone, so she decided to take action by herself. Since the opponent is powerful enough to cause such a disaster, a team of two wouldn't be a bad idea. -5- It was peaceful. Or, it looked peaceful. However, all youkai were upset. What's really happening is that, without anyone taking notice, suddenly... The full moon has disappeared from Gensokyo's night. Even on the night of a supposed full moon, a bit of missing light prevents it from being full. It's no wonder that humans aren't aware of the situation, though; it's only the tiniest bit of difference. For non-humans, however, a moon that isn't full doesn't function at all. It's an especially critical problem for those who dislike sunlight. A human and youkai, a team of two, ventured out into Gensokyo's midnight hours to retrieve the missing fragment of the moon and restore the full moon. They will stop the night if need be, even if it becomes an imperishable night. —— As summer draws to a close, not much time remains before the harvest moon. The team of human and youkai stop the night. -E- A glowing, ancient, virgulate object. A pile of round objects in the sight. A small gem. A shining orb. A fragile soul. And the largest sphere. "How is she doing these days?" she wondered as she stared at these objects. Time does not flow in this place. History repeats itself. She, too, was in Gensokyo. „ ~ Imperishable Night Prologue English Translation “ －０－ 夏の終わり。それは蝉の鳴き声が鈴虫の鳴き音に変ろうとしていた頃の話。 ここ幻想郷の暑さも夜になるとすっかり退き、人間にとっても妖怪にとっても快適な季節だった。 いつも通り平和だった。 少なくとも、人間達にはそう見えていたのだ。 東方永夜抄　～ Imperishable Night. －１－ ここは、幻想郷の境に存在する古めかしい屋敷。その歴史を感じさせる佇まいは、如何なる者の来訪をも拒んでいる様だった。この家には何故か人間界の道具と思われるものが幾つか在る。用途のわからない機械、書いてある事がまるで理解できない本、雑誌。 外の世界では映像受信機だったと思われる鉄の箱も、只の霊気入れになっていた。 人の形が映っていた物には霊も宿りやすいのよと、彼女は自分の式神に教える。 境界の妖怪『八雲 紫（やくも ゆかり）』はここに居た。 彼女は、幻想郷の僅かな異変に気付き、昼も寝れない毎日を過ごしていた。 敵の姿は確認取れなかったが、『こんな』事が出来ると言う事はかなりの強力な者であると想像できた。しかし、普段余り出歩かない彼女にとって自分から動く事は、凄く面倒な事だったのだ。 　「そうだ、『あいつ』を唆して『あいつ』にやらせれば良いわ」 こうして紫は、同じく幻想郷の境に存在する神社を目指して出かけた。そこに一人の知り合いの人間がいる。 その人間は、いつでも呑気で退屈しているはずである。 どんな仕事でも必ず引き受けるに違いない。 －２－ 不吉な臭いがする。この森は人を喰うといわれる。人間は余り寄り付かない場所である。常に禍々しい妖気で溢れていた。 魔法の森、幻想郷の魔が自ずと集まった森。 その森に、小さな人の形を集めた小さな建物がある。 人間より一回りも小さい人の形。 七色の人形遣い『アリス・マーガトロイド』は、人形の山の中で読書をしていた。 　「何であいつら人間達はこの大異変に気がつかないのかしら」 　「ねぇ？」 このままではいつものアレが楽しめないじゃない。普段は余り出歩くことの無い彼女だったがみんな異変に無関心だった為、調査に乗り出てみる事にした。 いや、しようかと思った。 　「面倒だなぁ、こういうのに慣れている『あいつら』がやればいいのに」 　「ほんとほんと」 敵の見当もつかないし、どうすればよいのかわからない。思いあぐねて、同じくこの森に住む人間の処へ向う事にした。 手には数冊の本……。 人間が滅多に手にする事が無い本。グリモワールである。 これでその人間が動かない道理は無い。 －３－ 　「咲夜～、どこに居るの～？」 ここは湖のほとりにある洋館、紅い建物。今日もけたたましい声が響く。湖の白と森の緑、そこに建つ紅い洋館。どぎつい取り合わせのはずなのに不思議と落ち着いていた。 この館、紅魔館は時が止まると言う。比喩ではない。 吸血鬼『レミリア・スカーレット』は、自分のお抱えのメイドを探していた。 　「頼んでいたアレはやっておいた？」 　「と言われましても、申し訳ないのですが私には良く判らないもので……」 どうにも、目の前の人間には言葉が通じない。 　「もういいわ！私が行くから咲夜は家の事を… 　　まぁ、好きな様にやって」 留守番を命じていない事は明白だった。結局メイドはお守り役として付いて行かざるを得ない。日が昇ったら一人じゃ自由が効かない癖に、と思いつつ…… こんなに平和だし何か起きている様にも見えないし、ちょっと動いたら疲れて戻ってくるでしょう、とメイドは軽く思っていた。もちろん口には出せない。 －４－ 幻想郷でもここ程静かな場所も無いだろう。ただ、荒涼としているわけではない。何か魂が休まるような静かさなのだ。荒ぶる者の声も聞こえない、豊かな自然に爽やかな風の音だけが聞こえる。 冥府。死者の住まう処。 ここには生気のある人間は居ない。だが、亡霊達は亡霊のくせに生き生きと暮らしていた。 　「幽々子様は気が付いていないのかしら？」 静かな場所の中で一番華やかで広い所。白玉楼。 庭師『魂魄 妖夢（こんぱく ようむ）』はお嬢様に異変を伝えようか迷っていた。 その時、お嬢様がこっちに向ってきた。丁度いい。 　「あ、幽々子様……。」 　「妖夢。アレはまだそのままかしら？」 　「え？……アレ、とは何でしょう？」 　「あら、気が付いていないの？ 　　これだから庭師は鈍感だって、ぼろくそに言われるのよ」 ぼろくそに言われた記憶は無いが、どうやらお嬢様も異変に気が付いていたらしい。 　「もしかして『月』の事ですか？　気が付いてますってば～。 　　突然、アレって言われましても……」 　「誰も動かないみたいだし、妖夢、行ってみない？」 　「えー？何でですか」 　「嘘よ。妖夢じゃ頼りないしね。 　　何時ぞやの人間の方がまだマシだし……、私が行くわ」 　「そんな～、意地悪な事言わないで下さいよ～。私が行きますから～」 　「頼りないと言ったのは本当よ」 西行寺家の亡霊少女『西行寺 幽々子（さいぎょうじ ゆゆこ）』は、妖夢の事をぼろくそに言った。 　「って、お嬢様は目的地の当てがあるのですか？」 　「勿論沢山あるわ。まぁそんなのその辺飛んでいるの落とせばいつか当たるものよ。」 　「そんなだから駄目なのです。 　　幽々子様はいつだって、力に任せて狙いを定めないから時間が掛かるのです。 　　もっと、的を絞って攻撃するのですよ。こう……」 　「妖夢、後ろががら空きよ。」 幽々子は、本当に妖夢だけでは不安を感じていた。だから、自ら動く事にしたのだ。 この異変を起こせるだけの者相手なら、二人でも良いだろう。 －５－ 平和だった。 平和そうに見えた。 だが、妖怪達は困っていたのだ。 そう異変とは、誰も気が付かない内にひっそりと、何時の間にか……、 幻想郷の夜から満月が無くなっていたのだった。 本来、満月になるはずの夜もほんの少しだけ月が欠けていて、完全な満月にならなかったのである。普通の人間が気がつかないのは無理も無い、月はほんのちょっとだけ欠けていたに過ぎなかったのだ。 それでも妖の者にとって、満月の無い月はまるで月の機能を果たして居なかったのである。 特に日の光が苦手な者にとっては死活問題であった。 人間と妖怪の二人は夜の幻想郷を翔け出した 勿論、月の欠片を探し出し、幻想郷の満月を取り返す為である。 見つけるまで夜を止めてでも 永遠の夜になったとしても ――夏の終わり、中秋の名月まであまり時間も無い頃。 　　人間と妖怪の二人は、夜を止める。 －Ｅ－ 光に輝く太古の棒状の物。 目の前に見える大量の丸い物。 小さな玉。光り輝く珠。消え入りそうな魂。そして最も大きな球。 彼女は今頃どうしているだろうか、丸い物を見て思う。 ここは、時間の止まった場所。そして繰り返す歴史。 彼女もまた、幻想郷にいた。 „ ~ Imperishable Night Prologue Japanese In Imperishable Night, Alice senses something amiss with the Moon. After failing to investigate the matter on her own, she recruits Marisa by tempting her with rare grimoires. Alice thus becomes the youkai component of the Magic Team. After defeating Wriggle Nightbug and Mystia Lorelei on their way out of the forest, they reach the Human Village, where Keine Kamishirasawa attacks them. Entering the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, they encounter Reimu Hakurei, who mistakes them for the incident's perpetrators. Following her defeat, they proceed to Eientei and confront Eirin Yagokoro and Reisen Udongein Inaba. Depending on player choice, Marisa and Alice then face either Eirin or Kaguya Houraisan after defeating the lunar rabbit. Later, upon learning from Kaguya about a trial of guts taking place within the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, Alice and Marisa decide to return. There, they encounter and defeat Fujiwara no Mokou. Shoot the BUllet Aya Shameimaru encounters Alice on stage 3 and takes photos of her various danmaku attacks. Scarlet Weather Rhapsody English TranslationJapanese “ Almost a year has passed since the shrine maiden went to the mountain. The Hakurei Shrine's crisis was averted without incident, and a sweltering summer has visited the shrine as usual. However, the shrine maiden has been afflicted with an unusual continuing drought. Even during sudden cloudbursts, almost no rain would fall on the shrine. But that's not all - rain continues unabated over the forest, and at the mansion that's usually hidden behind thick mists, snow falls out of season... It was an amazing incident of abnormal weather. Nobody had any idea what was behind the strange weather. But, it was obvious with a glance at the big picture ... The one plagued by incessant sun, the one under a deluge of constant rain, the one enveloped in deep mist ... Yes, their strange weather only continued around them, personally. But the real crisis would probably start once the strange weather patterns collided. That glimpse of the weather crisis' true nature signaled the start of the incident's resolution in a manner that resounded across the land. -- A great earthquake strong enough to reduce the shrine to ruins. Nobody knew why she was the only one to feel its effects, but it was enough to send the shrine maiden out to find the cause of the incident. „ ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Prologue English Translation “ 巫女が山に立ち入ってから一年近く経とうとしていた。 博麗神社の危機も免れ、何事もなくいつも通りの暑い夏が訪れている。 だが、巫女は日照り続きという異常気象に悩まされていた 何故か梅雨の間も、神社には殆ど雨が降らなかったのだ。 それだけではない、雨が降り続ける森、常に深い霧で見えない洋館、季節外れの雪……。 異常気象もここまで来るともう立派な異変であった。 異常気象の実情を把握している者は誰一人居なかった。 だが、巨視的に観察すれば誰の目にも明らかだったであろう。 常に周りが晴れ続ける者、霧雨が降り続ける者、深い霧に包まれている者……。 そう、気象現象は個人の周りだけで起こっていたのだ。 様々な気象現象がぶつかり合った時、本当の異常気象が始まる事になるであろう。 異常気象の正体を垣間見たその時、異変解決戦争開戦の大きな合図が大地に響いた。 ――神社を倒壊させる程の大地震。 何故かその地震は、神社にいた巫女しか揺れを感じる事は無かったのだが、 彼女を異変解決調査に乗り出させるには十分だった。 „ ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Prologue Japanese Observing scarlet clouds and chaotic weather, Alice suspects these phenomena may be precursors to an earthquake. She inquires about the scarlet clouds among various residents, including Reimu Hakurei, Youmu Konpaku, Patchouli Knowledge, and Sakuya Izayoi. The shrine maiden mentions that an earthquake has already destroyed her shrine. Alice does not encounter anyone capable of confirming or refuting her theory until she faces Iku Nagae. Believing Iku to be responsible, Alice fights her, though Iku insists after her defeat that she is not the true culprit. Some time later, Alice locates and defeats the actual perpetrator, bringing the incident to a close. Subterranean Animism English TranslationJapanese “ Snow falls on the Hakurei Shrine in winter. It had been destroyed by an earthquake before, but now it's back to normal. One day, something happened to surprise the Hakurei Shrine's shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei. That was the sudden appearance of a white pillar shooting into the air - a geyser - near the shrine grounds. Normally, when something unusual happens, she goes to find out what happened and quickly bring the matter to a close, but this made her happy as much as it surprised her. After all, the geyser would melt the snow and become a hot spring that would ease the fatigue of both humans and youkai from nearby. Marisa "... isn't it dangerous to get too close to a geyser?" Reimu　"It could attract visitors to the shrine, so who cares?" If a hot spring comes up then even villagers will come here, mark my words." Marisa "Yeah, for the hot spring." However, Reimu's hopeful observations were off the mark. The geyser spewed forth more than just water for a hot spring. One by one a series of grotesque characters appeared. Earth spirits - denizens of the deep underground. Confused, the two girls wondered what to do about the geyser, so they decided to build a hot spring. In fact, the earth spirits were quiet and kept to themselves. Most of them were simply ghosts who had finally been relieved of their ties to this world and allowed to pass on. In Gensokyo, where youkai and phantoms ran rampant as a matter of course, the appearance of a few earth spirits didn't seem like such a big deal. However, that decision by the shrine maiden bought the youkai's unhappiness. There was a secret behind the appearance of the earth spirits about which Reimu and Marisa didn't have the slightest inkling of knowledge. —— The Scarlet Devil Manor The magician that lived in the Scarlet Devil Manor, Patchouli Knowledge, sensed danger in the appearance of youkai and earth spirits from underground. In her readings, she'd learned that somewhere slept a power that was uncontrollable by the likes of the youkai from above ground. She also knew that youkai shouldn't easily be able to enter the city that lay in the depths. However, there was almost no-one she could consult with regarding this problem. Losing her temper with Reimu and company, she grudgingly decided to consult with the youkai who was said to have been in Gensokyo the longest. This old youkai, Yukari Yakumo, wanted the youkai to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the underground world. Yukari "The underground world has different arrangements, so we can't act too overtly." Pache　"Well, the humans aren't going to do anything. At this rate we'll lose our initiative; is that what you want?" Yukari "Hm, that's true... I suppose I have no choice, I can't let you all just do whatever you want again." Pache　"What do you mean, again... ? In any case, will you do something? You seem to know something about the underground." Yukari "No, I can't do anything. Only humans can go to the underground. Besides, this might be a trap to draw us in." Yukari promised only to send Reimu to investigate, with youkai staying behind to act in a support role. —— The sealed youkai awoke together with the violent geyser. The memories of the earth began to awaken, and Gensokyo would probably regress into an older period from its history. The youkai of the underground were cast into the depths because of their abominable powers. It couldn't be a fortuitous thing for humans or youkai if they were to appear again. The snow, slowly shining. The palace, surrounded by beautiful colors. She was there. „ ~ Subterranean Animism Prologue English Translation “ 雪の降る冬の博麗神社。 　一度地震により倒壊した神社であったが、今はすっかり元の姿を取り戻している。 　そんなある日、博麗神社の巫女、博麗霊夢を驚かす出来事が起こった。 　それは博麗神社の近所に突然の立ち上る白い柱、間欠泉である。 　普段なら何か出来事が起こると彼女は解決に向かうのだが、その出来事は彼女を 　驚かすと同時に喜ばす物だったのだ。 　間欠泉は雪を溶かし、周りには人間、妖怪問わず体の疲れを癒す温泉が湧く筈だった。 　　魔理沙「……間欠泉って近寄って危なくないのか？」 　　霊夢　「神社にお客を呼べるチャンスなんだから、お客が多少危険でも良いのよ。 　　　　　　温泉が湧けば里の人間だって参拝に来るに違いない」 　　魔理沙「温泉目当てだけどな」 しかし、霊夢の希望的観測は外れた。 　間欠泉から湧いている物は温泉水だけでは無かったのだ。 　次々とわき出る異形の者達。地霊――地底に住む者達であった。 　慌てた彼女達は間欠泉をどうするべきか悩んだ結果、温泉を取る事にした。 　事実、地霊達は大人しかった。地霊といっても、主に地縛霊が変化した物である。 　妖怪や幽霊が跋扈する幻想郷、今更、地霊達が出てきたところで大した影響は無いと 　考えたのだ。 　しかし、その巫女の判断は妖怪達の不満を買った。 　地霊の出現には霊夢達は知るよしもない秘密があったのだ。 　――紅魔館 　紅魔館に住む魔法使い、パチュリー・ノーレッジは地下の妖怪や地霊達が表に出てく 　る事に危険を感じていた。 　彼女は、地上の妖怪には手に負えない力が眠っている事を本を通じて識っていた。 　妖怪が容易に地底の街へ立ち入ってはいけない事も識っていた。 　しかし、彼女には周りに相談できる人物も殆どいない。 　なかなか霊夢達が動かない事に業を煮やし、嫌々だが幻想郷でも最も古くからいると 　される妖怪に相談をする事にした。 　古い妖怪――八雲紫（やくもゆかり）は妖怪が地底界へ干渉する事は控えたいとしていた。 　　紫　　『地底界には別の＜仕組み＞があるのだから、余り派手に動いてはいけない』 　　パチェ『人間達が動かないしこのままでは後手になってしまうけど、それでも良いのかしら』 　　紫　　『そうねぇ……しょうがないわ、貴方達に＜また＞勝手に動かれたら面倒だしね』 　　パチェ『またって何の話なのか……それは置いておいて、取り敢えず貴方が動いてくれる？ 　　　　　　地底の事知ってそうだし』 　　紫　　『いいえ、私達は動きません。地底に潜るのは人間だけです。 　　　　　　これは私達をおびき寄せる罠……かも知れないですから』 　紫はそう言って霊夢達を送り出す事だけは約束し、妖怪は地上からサポート役にまわる様にした。 　――封印された妖怪達は、激しい間欠泉と共に目覚めた。 　　　大地の記憶が次々と具現化し、まもなく幻想郷は古い歴史の時代へ逆戻りするだろう。 　　　地底の妖怪達は忌み嫌われた能力を持っていたが為に地底に落とされたのだ。 　　　その妖怪達が出てくる事は、人間にとっても妖怪にとっても望ましい事ではなかった。 　　ゆっくりと光る雪。 　　　美しき色に囲まれた御殿。 　　　彼女はそこにいた。 „ ~ Subterranean Animism Prologue Japanese Alice serves as one of Marisa's possible partners in Subterranean Animism, communicating with her through her dolls. Concerned that her dolls are behaving erratically near the geyser behind the Hakurei Shrine, she convinces Marisa that investigating underground would be an enjoyable diversion. Marisa descends into the Underworld, defeating Kisume, Yamame Kurodani, and Parsee Mizuhashi before encountering Yuugi Hoshiguma, who directs her toward the Palace of the Earth Spirits. There, she defeats Satori Komeiji, who guides her to the Remains of Blazing Hell, where Rin Kaenbyō attempts to block her path. Marisa then confronts the incident's culprit, believing that defeating her will stop the geyser. After Utsuho Reiuji mentions receiving her powers from two gods, Marisa decides to return to the shrine on the mountain. However, she and Alice encounter only Koishi Komeiji there, who attacks them after overhearing her sister and Utsuho discussing Marisa. Touhou Hisoutensoku In Touhou Hisōtensoku, Alice creates a massive construct known as the Goliath Doll. Marisa Kirisame spots the figure within the Forest of Magic and informs Cirno about it. Alice subsequently tests the creation in battle against Cirno, who mistakes the giant doll for a Daidarabotchi. A dream version of herself is also encountered in Meiling's scenario, where Alice was sent by the Giant Catfish to assassinate Meiling. Hopeless Masquerade Alice appears as a background cameo in Hopeless Masquerade on the Human Village stage, visible standing on the far right-hand side of the screen. Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Alice in her article in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Alice during her interview in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Alice's practice of creating straw effigies and nailing them to trees behind the Hakurei Shrine led Aya Shameimaru to suspect someone was placing curses. After some time, Aya managed to interview Alice, who explained this was not the case—she was merely conducting research toward creating a fully independent doll. During the interview, Alice stated that if anyone witnesses the ritual, its effectiveness would diminish, and requested that Aya keep her distance from the dolls to ensure success. When asked about her motivation for creating an independent doll, Alice mentioned having witnessed something similar long ago, which inspired her to pursue methods of replicating it. Strange and Bright Nature Deity In chapters 5 and 6 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Alice extends hospitality to the Three Fairies of Light, inviting them to her home and offering tea and cake. When she inquires about their impressions of her house and refreshments, Sunny Milk responds with a series of fabrications to conceal that the fairies were actually searching for a grimoire. Alice sees through their lies and reveals that the grimoire they sought belongs to her. She becomes quite angry and prepares to attack the fairies, but some birds suddenly break into her house and begin pecking at them. After the fairies admit they are indeed fairies, Alice decides it is not worth fighting and allows them to leave. In chapter 9, the fairies seek assistance from various individuals regarding the vines enveloping their house. When they approach Alice, she expresses indifference toward the plight of other youkai and declines to help, though she suggests they visit Marisa instead.

After Marisa is freed from possession, she tends to Alice, unaware of what occurred while she was controlled. In the latter half of chapter 9, Marisa is interrogated by Satori Komeiji, Yuyuko Saigyouji, and Youmu Konpaku regarding her actions during the possession. Whispered Oracle of Hakurei Shrine As a way to clear up the aftermath of an incident, Reimu makes a fortune slip about Alice.

Name Meaning

Her full name is Alice Margatroid (アリス・マーガトロイド). The given name Alice derives from Old French roots meaning "noble" and "kind". She did not possess a surname in Mystic Square. Her name is likely also a reference to the popular character Alice from Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland, this can be further supported with the stage name theme for the Extra Stage in Mystic Square, which is directly called "Alice in Wonderland".

Her surname, Margatroid, derives from the real surname Murgatroyd. The inspiration is likely Miss Murgatroyd from Agatha Christie's novel A Murder is Announced. The Japanese transliteration of Murgatroyd matches Alice's surname exactly (マーガトロイド Māgatoroido), suggesting the spelling difference may be an error rather than intentional. Murgatroyd also appears as a vampire nickname in Kim Newman's Anno Dracula.

An interesting connection exists in the BBC Radio 4 adaptation of the aforementioned Christie novel, where Alice Arnold voiced the role of Miss Murgatroyd.

Relationships

Marisa Kirisame

Alice shares a complex relationship with fellow magician Marisa Kirisame, characterized by both rivalry and friendship. The two have frequently partnered throughout the Windows canon, working together as the "Magic Team" in Imperishable Night and with Alice supporting Marisa in Subterranean Animism. In the former, Alice recruited Marisa specifically because she was "used to" resolving incidents, offering some of her grimoires as compensation. In the latter, Alice communicates with Marisa through her dolls to assist during the adventure. They have also crossed paths in Perfect Cherry Blossom, Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, and Touhou Hisoutensoku.

They both have a friendly rivalry. They argue over who is the better magician, who takes incident-solving more seriously (with Alice chiding Marisa's lack of seriousness and Marisa retorting that Alice "cannot do anything but say her name" in Imperishable Night) and frequently trade insults. Notably, this bickering appears to soften somewhat after Imperishable Night.

Beneath the rivalry lies genuine friendship. In the Magic Team's bad ending, Alice sleeps next to Marisa at the latter's house. She also tags along during Marisa's escapes in other endings and once recommended Marisa's shop to the Three Fairies of Light when they needed youkai extermination. Additionally, Marisa demonstrated care for Alice by looking after her when she was left unconscious after an attack by Mizuchi Miyadeguchi in Foul Detective Satori.

Mima

At the conclusion of Mima's story in Mystic Square, Mima takes Alice as her maid, though she releases her from this service sometime later.

Three Fairies of Light (Sunny Milk, Luna Child, and Star Sapphire)

Alice is one of the few youkai the Three Fairies of Light have sought out for assistance.

In Strange and Bright Nature Deity, the fairies visit Alice's house and lie to her, claiming they are not the type of fairies who prank humans. Despite their dishonesty, Alice ultimately decides that having them "bitten by birds is enough" and allows them to leave her house without holding a grudge.

During a second visit, when the fairies ask for help dealing with vines overtaking their own house, Alice creates dolls in their likeness and playfully pokes at them with the creations.

Eirin Yagokoro

Alice is a regular customer at Eientei, where she purchases the Butterfly Dream Pill from Eirin. When questioned about Alice or the nature of her purchases, Eirin herself declined to comment further on the matter.

Cardinality: Finite

Dimensionality: 3-D

Power Source: Magic (Magician Youkais are youkai possessed by magic, such that one's body itself is powered by magic)

Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (Magicians use arsenic and mercury a lot when they use magic, which eats away at their body, which is why there are so many magicians with weak bodies), Far Higher with Spiritual Power (Noted how even Yumemi Okazaki's scientific magic truly pales in comparison with the real thing, which Yumemi noted to not make light of the power of her science as she could blow up the planet at any moment) & Grimoire (Read all sorts of magic in the time Reimu, Marisa, Mima, or Yuuka was gone and greatly powered up from that), Even Higher with Preparation (A properly prepared magician is noted to be able to take on any kind of youkai). Can ignore covnentional durability with Magic (Magic exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory, a theory with any model that merges electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces into a single force at high energies, unifying gravity with the electronuclear interaction, providing a more comprehensive theory of everything. Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion. The second layer of reality is spirit and magic, while the first layer is where all things within the laws of physics presides, putting attacks with magic outside of the conventional laws of physics)

Durability: Average Human level (Magicains bodies are only about as strong as that of an ordinary human, so running away from them is simple. Magician Youkais bodies are nearly the same as humans' so they are frail in comparison to other youkai), Far Higher with Spiritual Power, Even Higher with Preparation. Her Youkai Physiology makes her very difficult to kill (It's noted that one cannot defeat spirits or devilish powers without a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb. Physical attacks such as a whacking a sake bottle over the head are considered violent methods that wouldn't work on youkai, with it only being spiritual attacks that cause fatal wounds to youkai. When attempting to exterminate a youkai, one does not use weapons that cause physical damage, instead weapons with an "origin" are more preferable. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities)

Striking Strength: Below Average Human Class

Travel Speed: Regular Human on foot, Superhuman (Can keep up with other characters flight speeds, where they can reach across long distances due to being able to fly)

Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion)

Reaction Speed: Superhuman

Stamina: Superhuman (Youkai have stronger bodies than humans. Youkais within Gensokyo do not have much demand for medicine for physical illnesses as they are comprised mostly of spirit, thus they are always fit and robust)

Range: Standard Melee. At least Kilometers with Abilities (Warped an entire area of Makai to turn into a mountainous land), Cross-Dimensional with Battlefield Removal (Ordinary youkai, can send themself and their opponent to a different battlefield)

Standard YoukaiMagician Youkai

While Youkai are noted to be physically stronger than humans, Magician Youkais bodies are nearly the same as humans' so they are frail in comparison to other youkai, thus they only carry some of the standard Youkai abilities which are:

• Enhanced Senses (Unlike humans, youkai can see in the dark to the point that it's a way for them to spot a human)
• Extrasensory Perception (Youkai are able to see the human village that Keine made essentially invisible from history from humans)
• Longevity (Marisa notes that youkai live a really long time, beyond even human years. Youkais have longer lifespans than humans)
• Aura (Noted that Youkai possess an aura, along with an energy source called "Youkai Energy")
• Invisibility (Youkai are noted to be life-forms that are invisible to humans, appearing to them via fluctuations. Noted that all objects within Gensokyo were all hidden in the invisible gaps of the quantum world)
• Non-Standard Damage (Youkai's attacks are spiritual based whereas having standard durability against them does not help. When a youkai has injured someone, they need special recovery from youkai practitioners otherwise they cannot recover normally)
• Non-Standard Defenses (Reimu realized that only the Yin-Yang Orb was effective against non-human creatures, with it being noted that Reimu using her ofuda, her spirit power, and her martial arts all prove to be useless against her enemies, meaning Youkai cannot really be harmed by regular or standard weaponry. It's noted that one cannot defeat spirits or devilish powers without a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb. Physical attacks such as a whacking a sake bottle over the head are considered violent methods that wouldn't work on youkai, with it only being spiritual attacks that cause fatal wounds to youkai. When attempting to exterminate a youkai, one does not use weapons that cause physical damage, instead weapons with an "origin" are more preferable. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities)
• Absorption
  • Information Absorption: It is noted by Reimu that youkai can be swallowed up by information which can turn them into an "omnipotent youkai" due to the impurity which is the information of living things which overwhelms a youkai's existence when it's swalloed up by that information.
• Acausality
  • For Their Physiology
    • Irregular Causality
    • Contradictive: As Non-Humans within Gensokyo as comprised mostly of spirit, they embody the second layer of reality which is spirit and magic, while the first layer is where all things within the laws of physics presides.
  • For their Magic
    • Irregular Causality
      • Unknown: A youkai's magical power exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory, a theory with any model that merges electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces into a single force at high energies, unifying gravity with the electronuclear interaction, providing a more comprehensive theory of everything. It's further explained that magic is a force that cannot be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, with Yumemi even proposing a "Non-Unified Magic World" theory. Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension.

Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion)

  • Probability Manipulation (Yumemi explains that on her world, all power can be explained by the Grand Unified Theory, however she posits an existence of a power not covered by the Theory: the power of magic.

Gensokyo is a brane world dominated by particles with different properties, not following the standard physics of the real world)

Dolls

12

• Description: Alice Margatroid's dolls are the primary manifestation of her magic, as her purpose as a magician is bound to this technique. These dolls serve as her weapons, her servants, and the focus of her lifelong research into creating autonomous life.
• Appearance: Alice's dolls vary in design but are typically humanoid figures crafted by her own hands. They are often seen wearing clothing and can be outfitted for different purposes or even dressed for the weather, as seen when they donned snow clothing in Strange and Bright Nature Deity. Despite their lifelike movements, they remain inanimate objects at their core.
• Usage: Alice controls her dolls using magical threads rather than physical strings, allowing her to manipulate them remotely without using her hands. In combat, her army of dolls vastly outnumbers opponents, firing danmaku while Alice herself concentrates on commanding them. Defeated dolls are simply replaced. Many dolls are filled with gunpowder or can be magically detonated, allowing Alice to repurpose them as kamikaze bombs once they have served their initial function. This explosive tendency is referenced in spell cards such as Magic Sign "Artful Sacrifice" and skills like "Doll Cremation." Outside of combat, Alice delegates cooking, laundry, cleaning, and other chores to her dolls, keeping her hands full with the concentration required to command them.
• Function: The dolls are not given life, but are instead manipulated through magical threads that connect to Alice's will. This same link between body and soul is what allows her to control them. The dolls can be made to move in nearly any way a human could, and can even control other dolls in turn. They are capable of firing danmaku, with Alice rarely joining in herself—and when she does, her personal attacks are notably weaker and more plain. The dolls have demonstrated the ability to speak and show emotion in various instances, such as in the prologue of Imperishable Night, the good ending of Subterranean Animism, and multiple chapters of Strange and Bright Nature Deity. However, as Marisa points out, this is merely Alice manipulating them to talk, making it effectively a "lame one-person act."
• Notable Traits: Alice's ultimate objective is to create a completely autonomous doll that possesses its own thoughts and moves by its own volition. Despite pouring her soul into this research, she has yet to succeed and admits she still has much to learn. Her experiments involve studying the link between dolls and souls, including nailing humanoid straw dolls to trees to understand how the subject experiences pain through this connection. Ironically, despite her goal of autonomy, Alice admits that dolls she controls herself are more useful than ones that would think for themselves. The one task she never delegates to her dolls is creating other dolls—this work she reserves for her own hands only. Her weakness in combat stems from her need to concentrate on manipulation, leaving her own movements sluggish and her personal fighting abilities low, making her a prime target for opponents who can reach her.

Notable Techniques

Primary AbilitiyOverallBoss FightsStandard Fighter Techniques

Manipulation of Dolls
Alice's magic manifests through enchanted dolls. While her physical and magical abilities are only average, she possesses exceptional dexterity and can manipulate large numbers of dolls simultaneously as if they were living beings—a skill considered among the finest in Gensokyo.

The dolls are not given life. Instead, Alice controls them with magical threads, manipulating them by magic rather than using her hands. She can make dolls move in nearly any way a human could, and can even have them control other dolls. She typically leaves cooking, laundry, cleaning, and other chores to her dolls, keeping her hands full concentrating on commanding them. The one task she does not delegate is doll-making itself, which she does by hand.

In battle, her doll army heavily outnumbers opponents. Defeated dolls are simply replaced. Many dolls are filled with gunpowder or can be detonated with magic power; after use, she often repurposes them as kamikaze bombs. This is reflected in spell cards like Magic Sign "Artful Sacrifice" and skills such as "Doll Cremation" and "Ooedo Explosive Marionette".

Dolls have been observed talking in some instances, showing emotion, and even putting on snow clothing. However, as Marisa points out, the dolls are not alive and are merely being manipulated to talk—it is essentially a "lame one-person act".

Alice's ultimate goal is to create a completely autonomous doll that thinks and moves on its own. Despite pouring her soul into the effort, she has yet to succeed. She conducts experiments on the link between dolls and souls, such as nailing humanoid straw dolls to trees to study the connection. In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she states that the string between body and soul is the same link that allows her to manipulate dolls. Despite her efforts, she admits that dolls she controls herself remain more useful than autonomous ones would be.

Her primary weakness is that while concentrating on doll manipulation, her own movements become sluggish and her personal fighting ability drops significantly, leaving her a prime target. She usually leaves danmaku firing entirely to the dolls; on the rare occasions she joins in, her attacks are weaker and more plain.

Focused Movement

Moving while holding down the shift key will result in a decrease of the Alice movement speed to about half of what it is. There will be moments when there are too many enemy fire on the screen to the point where moving through them is impossible. In such cases, Alice uses this focused movement to make danmaku dodging easier.

Spirit Attack

Otherwise called "bomb", a spirit attack that counters projectiles and enemy attacks while also making Alice become invicible.

奴隷使いであるアリスのスペルカード。殆どの弾幕は人形から撃たれるという。	A Spell Card belonging to Alice, a slave-user. Almost all of the danmaku is fired by the dolls.
瞳の色が青くて、弾幕の増え方が少しお洒落なところがおフランスたる所以か。フランスってどんなところなんだろうな。	The dolls have blue eyes, and the bullets increase in a way that's kinda stylish, so I guess that's what makes it Francey. I wonder what kinda place France is?
ちなみにこのスペルカードはいつも同じ形になるので、避けるのは難しくない。まだ見ぬ異国に思いを馳せる位の余裕はあるな。	Also, this Spell Card always forms the same shape, so it ain't hard to dodge. There's enough breathing room to turn your thoughts to a yet-unseen foreign land.

霧の都ロンドン。そんな霧の中に浮かぶ呪いの人形ってところか。	London, the city of fog. I guess these ones are supposed to be cursed dolls floatin' in that fog?
純粋に密度が高く少し難しいが、まだまだってところか。	The sheer density makes it a little difficult, but it's not quite there yet.
人形はアリスの周りをグルグル回っている。こいつにはこの手のスペルカードが多い。防御も兼ねているのだろうか。それともシンプルな動きの方が大量に操るのに向いているのか。	The dolls spin in circles around Alice. She has a lot of Spell Cards like this. Do they serve as defense too? Or is it just that simple movements make them easier to control en masse?
何にしても、器用ではある。	Either way, she's dextrous as heck.

呪いの藁人形を投げつけてくるスペルカード。	A Spell Card that throws cursed straw dolls.
有り余る呪い力 (ぢから) がまき散らされて、かなり怖い。難しいとかじゃなくて怖い。霊障が。	The curse power overflows an' scatters everywhere, which is pretty scary. Not hard, just scary. Cause a' the spiritual harm.
出来る限り藁人形には近づきたくないので大きく逃げてしまうが、そうすると避けられなくなってしまう。	You want to keep as far away from the straw dolls as you can, so you end up dodging really wide, but if you do that then you'll run out of dodging room in no time.
これが、呪いか。	Guess that's the curse, eh?

本人も地味に攻撃してくる数少ないスペルカード。	One of the few Spell Cards where Alice herself attacks, in a plain sorta way.
しかし、人形の方が強力な弾幕を撃ってくるところはいつも通り。	The dolls fire way more powerful danmaku than her, though, which is the same as ever.
人形を操ってるから本人は大した魔法を使えないのは判るが、アリスは結構強力な魔法を使える筈なんだがなぁ。	I get that Alice can't use any big, fancy magic while she's busy controlling the dolls, but she actually oughta be capable of some pretty powerful stuff...

強力な人形爆弾。いわゆる自爆人形だが、爆弾抱えた人形を操るアリスも怖い。	A powerful doll bomb. A "self-destructing" doll, it's called. Alice is pretty scary herself, though, goin' around and puppeteering dolls rigged with bombs.
全部の人形が爆発する可能性があるのだろうか。だとすると、怖くて人形には近づけないのだが。	Can all her dolls potentially explode? If so, I'm gonna be too scared to get near 'em.
普段は奴隷に弾幕を撃たせて、用済みになれば爆発させる。エコロジーだ。魔法使いとして見習いたいところだが……人形を操る程器用じゃないんでねぇ。	She typically makes her slaves fire danmaku, and once she's done with 'em, she blows 'em up. It's ecological. I wanna take a page outta her book as a magician, but... I'm not dextrous enough to control dolls.
やっぱり、完全に言う事を聞いてくれる奴隷が欲しいもんだ。妖精でも騙して味方に付けるのも良いかも知れん。爆発させる事は多分無いから。	Yeah, I'd really rather have slaves that just listen to whatever I say. Maybe it'd be good to trick some fairies into teamin' up with me. I probably won't blow 'em up, after all.

人形から容赦ない弾幕が放たれるスペルカード。	A Spell Card where the dolls unleash some truly merciless danmaku.
アリスを本気にさせると、こういう油断ならないスペルカードを使ってくる。	When Alice gets serious, she whips out really tricky Spell Cards like this one.
しかしこれはハッタリ弾幕の筆頭で、高速で飛ぶ弾幕は殆ど注意する必要が無い。決まった避け方で避けることが出来る様に考えられている。	However, this is a prime example of bluff danmaku: you can totally ignore almost all of the high-speed bullets. She's put a lot of thought into allowing for a specific, fixed method of dodging.
アリスも「不可能に見えるが遊びとして成立する弾幕」を考えて、こういう結果になったのだろう。しかし、簡単過ぎるのもどうかと……。	I bet it turned out this way as Alice's personal take on "danmaku that looks impossible, but still functions properly as a game". Can't say I agree about makin' it too easy, though...

Immaterial and Missing PowerScarlet Weather Rhapsody

Control Scheme

Immaterial and Missing Power can be played using either a keyboard or a gamepad.

For Player 1 using a keyboard, the default controls are:

• Arrow Keys — move the character
• Z — corresponds to A
• X — corresponds to B
• C — corresponds to C
• V — corresponds to D

Character movement is represented using a numpad layout: 7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

• 6 — forward (toward the opponent)
• 4 — backward (away from the opponent)
• 2 — down/crouch
• 8 — up/jump
• 7, 9, 1, 3 — diagonals (can be simulated by pressing the two corresponding direction keys simultaneously)

Special inputs are performed by quickly pressing a sequence of directions followed by a button. For example:

• 66 — forward dash
• 236B — down, down-forward, forward, then B (default X key)

The number 5 indicates no directional input.

For keyboards without a numpad, diagonals are produced by pressing two directional keys simultaneously. For example, Down + Right = 3 on the numpad layout.

Button notation in most game documentation uses A/B/C/D, though older sources (like readme.txt) may use P/K/S instead:

• P = A
• K = B
• S = C or D (context-dependent)

Movement

Forward Movement

Input: 6 The character is able to advance across the battlefield, allowing them to apply pressure, close distance, or reposition during combat.

Backward Movement

Input: 4 The character can retreat to create space, disengage from pressure, or reposition defensively.

Crouching

Input: 2 The character can lower their stance, granting access to low-profile actions and certain techniques while reducing their hit area against high attacks.

Standard Jump

Input: 7, 8, & 9 The character can leap into the air in multiple trajectories, enabling aerial attacks, evasive movement, and vertical repositioning.

Forward Dash

Input: 6 6 The character performs a rapid burst of forward movement. During this action, they briefly enter a grazing state, allowing them to pass through certain threats while advancing. Some characters will dash farther if 6 is held.

Backward Dash

Input: 4 4 The character quickly retreats with a burst of movement while entering a grazing state, providing both evasive mobility and defensive repositioning. Some characters will dash farther if 4 is held.

Super Jump

Input: 2 7, 2 8, & 2 9 The character executes a powerful leap that carries them higher and farther than a standard jump. This movement also applies grazing, making it effective for evasion and aerial control.

Air Dash

Input: 6 6 or 4 4 while in the air While airborne, the character can rapidly change their position midair. The number of air dashes available is limited until landing, with most characters performing 2 and Remilia being able to perform 3.

Basic Moves

Close Normal Attacks

Input: A / B All characters possess close-range melee attacks that change based on proximity to the opponent.

• A: A fast, light melee strike used primarily for pressure and combo initiation.
• B: A heavier melee attack with greater power or reach, often slower than A and commonly kick-based.

Far Normal Attacks

Input: fA / fB When performed at greater distance, A and B become projectile-based attacks instead of melee strikes.

• fA: A standard projectile used for zoning and space control.
• fB: A secondary projectile with different speed, trajectory, or behavior than fA.

Forward Normal Attacks

Input: 6A / 6B Enhanced melee attacks with increased reach and power compared to their neutral counterparts.

• 6A: A stronger forward-reaching strike.
• 6B: A heavier forward-reaching attack, often slower but more impactful.

Crouching Normal Attacks

Spell Card Declaration

Input: 236D The character declares a Spell Card, entering a powerful state. The declaration grants temporary invincibility, with a brief vulnerable window at the start.

Special Move System

In addition to standard attacks, each character possesses a unique set of Special Moves. These techniques are executed through specific directional input sequences combined with attack inputs. While the exact techniques differ by character, the underlying input structures are largely standardized across the roster.

The available Special Moves and their corresponding input sequences are documented within in-game character profiles and practice interfaces.

Standard Special Move Inputs

Most characters utilize the following core directional sequences for their Special Moves:

• 236A/B/C (🢃🢆🢂)
• 623A/B/C (🢂🢃🢆)
• 214A/B/C (🢃🢇🢀)
• 421A/B/C (🢀🢃🢇)

Each input may produce different results depending on whether A, B, or C is used.

Item Collection

When a character is struck, any active projectiles she has on the screen are converted into collectible items and are immediately claimed by the opposing fighter. These items fall into two categories:

Spirit Items — Small blue squares labeled with “霊” (Spirit). Collecting these increases the fighter’s spirit gauge and they are the most frequently obtained item.

Bomb Items — Large green squares marked with a “B”. Collecting one increases the fighter’s bomb stock, up to a maximum of two bombs at any time.

Additionally, whenever a character is knocked down, the opponent automatically receives multiple spirit items. Roughly every third knockdown also grants the opponent a bomb item.

Blocking

When an attack connects, a character can defend by holding a backward direction (1, 4, or 7). Successfully blocking greatly reduces incoming damage, often negating it entirely, though certain situations may apply penalties.

Melee attacks that are blocked under the correct conditions incur no penalty. However, some melee attacks require a specific blocking state—standing, crouching, or airborne—to be blocked properly. If such an attack is blocked in the wrong state, the block is considered incorrect. In these cases, the block effect appears red instead of blue, and the defending character suffers a loss to health and/or spirit.

Guard crush attacks (22A and 22B) follow special rules. If they are not blocked, they function as strong melee attacks. When blocking, 22A must be blocked while standing, and 22B must be blocked while crouching. Blocking either attack incorrectly results in the immediate loss of all spirit.

Projectiles that can be grazed cannot be blocked correctly. Blocking these projectiles causes minor health damage—sometimes limited to the red portion of the health bar—and also applies a spirit penalty.

In Story Mode, later bosses frequently use Spell Cards that feature unblockable projectiles. These attacks must be avoided through grazing or manual movement. Some Spell Cards include projectiles that cannot be blocked or grazed at all, requiring the character to fully move out of their path to avoid taking damage.

Spirit Power

Spirit Power (霊力) governs a character’s ability to fire projectiles, defend against attacks, execute special moves, and activate Spell Cards. The current amount is shown on the Spirit Gauge (霊力ゲージ) at the lower-left of the screen. Different actions consume different amounts of spirit. If no spirit is spent for a short period, the gauge will begin to recover automatically, with spirit items accelerating this regeneration.

When a character’s Spirit Power is fully depleted, the gauge turns red. While in this state, the character cannot use projectiles or special moves until the gauge has fully refilled. If spirit is exhausted as a result of an incorrect block, the character is also briefly stunned. During spirit depletion, sA and sB lose their enhanced properties and function the same as A and B. Spirit recovery continues normally, and spirit items still restore gauge value.

Blocking behavior also changes while spirit is drained. Melee attacks can only be blocked correctly; even when blocked properly, the character still takes health damage using a distinct block animation. If a melee attack is blocked incorrectly, it will connect as though no block was attempted. Projectiles may only be blocked while grounded; airborne blocking is ineffective, and the projectile will hit regardless.

Grazing

Grazing occurs when a character is dashing, super jumping, or performing specific actions that allow them to temporarily avoid damage. While grazing, projectiles pass through the character without dealing harm, and in some cases, the projectile is destroyed upon contact.

Certain high-level attacks, especially from endgame Story Mode bosses, feature Spell Cards with unblockable and ungrazeable projectiles. These attacks cannot be avoided by standard grazing, requiring the character to manually move out of the projectile’s path to prevent damage.

Spell Cards

Spell Cards are powerful, visually striking attacks that characters can use once they have accumulated enough Sign Power (符力), displayed near the Spirit Gauge. Each character can select two Spell Cards prior to a fight: one for the first (white) health bar, called the First Sign (壱符), and one for the second (red) health bar, called the Second Sign (弐符). Second Signs are typically enhanced versions of the First Sign, though some may be entirely unique.

Accumulating Sign Power is achieved by dealing or receiving damage, as well as collecting items. When a character declares a Spell Card (by pressing 22D), their background darkens, a seal appears beneath them, and a timer starts. If the timer reaches zero, the declaration ends, preventing further Sign Power accumulation for that round.

Activating a Spell Card is usually done with 236D, though some have an alternate 214D input. Certain Spell Cards may require an additional input to deal damage. There is a brief vulnerability window at the start of the animation; if the character is hit, the Spell Card is canceled, wasting one Sign Power. Once successfully activated, the character becomes briefly invincible. Using a Spell Card consumes both Sign Power and Spirit Power, though declarations may continue if Sign Power is depleted, except in specific cases like Marisa's Final Spark, which consumes all resources and ends the declaration after one use.

Spell Card images include corner symbols indicating their function: a circle for ranged, a sword for melee, and a crescent moon for special utility effects. The top right corner indicates whether the card is a First Sign or Second Sign.

Control Scheme

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody can be played using either a keyboard or a gamepad.

For Player 1 on keyboard, the default inputs are configured as follows:

• Arrow Keys — character movement
• Z — A button
• X — B button
• C — C button
• A — D button
• S — A+B input
• D — B+C input
• Q — Pause

Movement notation follows the standard numpad-style directional layout:

7 8 9 4 5 6 1 2 3

• 6 represents forward movement (toward the opponent)
• 4 represents backward movement (away from the opponent)
• 2 represents downward movement or crouching
• 8 represents upward movement or jumping
• 7, 9, 1, and 3 represent diagonal directions

Directional notation always assumes the character is positioned on the left side of the screen. As a result, “forward” and “backward” reverse depending on screen position, but the numerical notation remains consistent.

Diagonal directions can be produced on a keyboard by pressing two directional keys simultaneously. For example, pressing Up and Right at the same time corresponds to 9, while Down and Left corresponds to 1.

Special actions are executed by inputting rapid directional sequences followed by a button press. For example:

• 66 indicates a forward dash
• 236B indicates a down, down-forward, forward motion followed by the B button

The number 5 is occasionally used in notation to explicitly indicate a neutral state with no directional input.

For keyboards without a physical numpad, directional inputs are still represented using this system, with diagonals achieved through simultaneous key presses.

Most in-game documentation uses the A/B/C/D notation for button inputs. However, some older references may instead use P, K, and S:

• P corresponds to A
• K corresponds to B
• S may refer to either C or D, depending on context

Forward Movement

The character can move toward the opponent to close distance or apply pressure. Input: 6

Backward Movement

The character can move away from the opponent to create space or reposition defensively. Input: 4

Crouching

The character can lower their stance, enabling low-profile movement and access to crouching actions. Input: 2

Standard Jump

The character can jump backward, vertically, or forward, allowing aerial movement and attacks. Input: 7 (backward jump), 8 (neutral jump), 9 (forward jump)

Forward Dash

The character performs a rapid forward movement. During this action, the character enters a grazing state, allowing certain projectiles to pass through. Input: 66 Alternate Input: D + 6 Note: Holding the forward direction may cause some characters to dash farther.

Backward Dash

The character performs a rapid backward movement while entering a grazing state, providing evasive mobility. Input: 44 Alternate Input: D + 4 Note: Holding the backward direction may cause some characters to dash farther.

Super Jump

The character executes an enhanced jump that travels higher and farther than a standard jump while applying grazing. Input: 27, 28, or 29 Alternate Input: D + 7, D + 8, or D + 9

Air Dash

While airborne, the character can perform a rapid burst of movement forward or backward. The number of air dashes is limited before landing, with most characters able to perform two by default. Certain conditions, such as Wind weather, may increase this limit. Air dashes do not consume Spirit Power and cover a fixed distance. Air dashes and flight share the same usage limit. Using one reduces the remaining opportunities for the other before landing. For example, performing an air dash reduces the number of available flight actions, and vice versa. This shared limitation also applies under special conditions such as Wind weather. Input (airborne): 66 (forward), 44 (backward)

Flight

While airborne, the character can enter a sustained movement state that allows controlled flight. During flight, the character is considered to be grazing but consumes Spirit Power over time. Flight continues as long as the input is held or until Spirit Power is depleted. Input (airborne): D + direction

Common flight directions include:

• Forward Flight: 6 + D
• Backward Flight: 4 + D
• Upward Flight: 8 + D
• Downward Flight: 2 + D
• Diagonal Flight: 7/9/1/3 + D

While flying, the character can change direction mid-flight by switching directional inputs while continuing to hold D.

Basic Attacks

All characters possess a standard set of basic attacks. Certain attacks change properties depending on whether the input is tapped or held. A tapped A input is referred to as "A", while a held A input is referred to as "[A]".

Additionally, some attacks vary based on distance. Pressing A while very close to the opponent results in one version, while pressing A at a farther distance produces a different version (the exact distance varies by character). The close-range version is referred to as "A", while the farther version is referred to as "f.A".

Inputs

A

A fast melee attack.

f.A

A slightly slower melee attack with increased reach and power compared to A.

6A

A slower but significantly longer-reaching and more powerful melee attack.

2A

A fast, low-hitting melee attack that does not change based on distance.

3A

Functionally similar to 6A, but hits low instead of mid.

8A

An airborne-only melee attack that generally strikes upward.

6[A] / 3[A]

Guard Crush attacks. These are performed by holding the A button while using the respective directional input.

B

A light projectile attack.

6B

A variant of B that is aimed higher.

2B

A variant of B that is aimed lower.

C

A heavier projectile attack with different properties from B.

6C

A heavier projectile attack that is usually aimed straight forward.

2C

A heavier projectile attack that is usually aimed upward.

All of the above attacks also have aerial variants when performed while airborne.

Charged Projectiles

Most projectile attacks can be charged by holding the input button ([B] or [C]). Charged projectiles typically release additional bullets or enhanced effects. An audible sound cue plays when a charged projectile or a Guard Crush attack is successfully executed.

Dashing Attacks

These are attacks performed during a forward dash. They are generally dashing melee attacks that move the character forward farther than standard attacks. Depending on the character, these attacks may also apply grazing.

Attack properties, ranges, speeds, and behaviors can vary significantly between characters, and many general rules have character-specific exceptions.

Input: 66 + A / B / C

Special Moves

The character possesses a set of SpecialMoves distinct from standard attacks. These techniques are executed through specific directional input sequences combined with attack inputs. The exact effects and behavior of each technique depend on the character.

In some cases, the same technique may be executed through more than one input sequence. Likewise, input sequences that produce a technique for one character may not produce the same result for another character.

The following notation is used when listing Special Technique inputs: - “>” indicates sequential inputs. - “Hold” indicates the input is held rather than tapped. - “+” indicates inputs performed simultaneously.

The availability and behavior of these Special Techniques vary by character. This section reflects common input structures rather than guaranteed results.

Grounded Special Technique Inputs

Hold A Hold B Hold C

Front + A Front + B Front + C

Front + Hold A Front + Hold B Front + Hold C

Blocking

Standard
The character is able to guard against incoming attacks by holding a backward direction. Successful blocking greatly reduces or negates damage, though certain conditions may result in penalties.

Melee attacks can be blocked correctly, preventing penalties entirely. However, some melee attacks require the character to be in a specific state—standing, crouching, or airborne—to be blocked correctly. Blocking such an attack in an incorrect state results in a spirit penalty. Incorrect blocks are visually indicated by a red block effect and accompanied by an audible cue.

Guard Crush
Certain attacks function as Guard Crush techniques. When unblocked, these attacks behave as powerful melee strikes. When blocked, each Guard Crush attack has a required blocking state. Blocking a Guard Crush attack incorrectly results in the temporary loss of a spirit orb and leaves the character briefly vulnerable.

Projectile and Special Attack Interaction
Standard grazable projectiles cannot be blocked correctly. Blocking these attacks results in a spirit penalty. Special attacks and Spell Card techniques additionally inflict chip damage to the character’s health alongside spirit damage when blocked.

Border Escape

The character can perform a Border Escape to disengage while trapped in a guarding state. This action allows the character to reposition by escaping in a chosen direction, creating space or avoiding continued pressure.

Executing a Border Escape consumes one spirit orb as a cost for its use.

Spirit

Spirit is a resource required to fire projectiles and activate certain special techniques. Rather than a single continuous gauge, spirit is represented by multiple individual orbs that are consumed when these actions are performed.

When spirit is not actively used, depleted orbs gradually regenerate over time. However, if the character suffers a guard crush or performs a Border Escape, one spirit orb becomes temporarily disabled and cannot be used until it naturally recovers.

While spirit orbs are disabled, the character retains access to projectiles, special techniques, and flight, but with reduced capacity. As more orbs are rendered unusable, available offensive and mobility options become increasingly limited. In this weakened state, the character is also more susceptible to further guard crushes, as spirit penalties apply regardless of how many active orbs remain.

Grazing

Grazing is a defensive state that occurs during certain movement actions, such as rapid movement or aerial maneuvers. While grazing, incoming projectiles pass through the character without dealing damage.

In some cases, successfully grazing a projectile will also cause the projectile to be neutralized. Grazing is primarily used to bypass projectile pressure while maintaining mobility.

Spell Cards

Spell Cards are powerful, one-time-use abilities that can be activated during combat. Characters assemble a "deck" of 20 Cards, which gradually become available as the character deals or takes damage. Deck composition is customizable in the Player Profile, but must always contain exactly 20 Cards.

Activation is performed by pressing B and C simultaneously. Characters can switch between available Cards by pressing A and B simultaneously.

Cards are divided into three types:

• System Cards: Include bombs, weather changes, and other utility effects that can influence the flow of battle.
• Skill Cards: Enhance or modify a character's special attacks, providing alternate attacks or increased damage output.
• Spell Cards: High-damage attacks that automatically execute once activated, such as Marisa's Master Spark or Reimu's Fantasy Seal.

Some Spell Cards require multiple Cards in hand to activate, while others can be used with fewer. Availability is indicated by a glowing border around the Card's image.

Other

Standard Tactics: Noted in her profile in Perfect Cherry Blossom that Alice always sees her opponent's reaction and tries to fight with power that exceeds the opponent by a hair. Alice will attack with a group of dolls that will highly outnumber her opponent along with using danmaku attacks of different elements.

Weaknesses

• Standard Youkai Weaknesses: Youkai's bodies being destroyed by spiritual attacks, have them take a while to recover. Youkai are more easily affected by belief than humans, and as a result spiritual damage can cause fatal wounds. Youkai are weak to spiritual attacks such as names or legends. Youkai and Ghost are weak to sunlight. Mental Attacks can be lethal to youkai, in some cases one can repel them with a single phrase. The human village acts as a lifeline for the Gensokyo Youkai, if the humans were to perish or if they stopped fearing the youkai, then they would cease to exist. Youkai are weak against psychological attacks.
• Magician Youaki Weaknesses: Magician Youkais bodies are nearly the same as humans' so they are frail in comparison to other youkai, magicains bodies are only about as strong as that of an ordinary human, so running away from them is simple. Magicians are weak to surprise attacks and are not good at close combat or lengthy conflicts. Magicians use arsenic and mercury a lot when they use magic, while they try to take precuations so they don't absorb any, it gets in little by little no matter what and it starts eating away at their body, which is why there are so many magicians with weak bodies.
• Unique Weaknesses: Alice refuses to use her full power as dominating the enemy with overwhelming power is not fun for her to the point that even when she loses she doesn't show her full power. Alice cannot control her dolls to create other dolls. Alice while controlling dolls must always maintain concentration as she's controlling every doll. Alice's primary weak point is herself, she has her hands full manipulating the dolls so her movements are sluggish and her fighting ability is low. It's noted in Marisa's Grimoire that Alice can't use big powerful magic while she's busying controlling the dolls.

Note

• Any translations from en.tohouwiki.net are considered fine to use as they all fall under Project Translations, a fan translation team that have translation guuidelines and rulesets, along with moderators that directly overlook and proofread English translations to check for machine translations.
• Yumemi's statements can be taken with credibility, not only do the science from her world surpass the main one by 500 years where she notes the science of the main world is much more primitive then hers, but her world has already fully proven the existence of Grand Unified Theory and Yumemi herself notes that her theory was proven right by seeing magic.
• Despite Gensou Narratograph being directly noted to be an "unofficial Touhou tabletop RPG", ZUN has directly participated in the RPG and noted the way Reimu acts during his session is how canon Reimu would act, thus character actions done by him and mechanics are fine to use.
• Even if characters have not showcased using a bomb, they should all be able to use bombs, as bombs are realistically just spiritual attacks and to even be able to fight the non-human entities, requires a weapon with an unnatural amount of spiritual power such as the Yin-Yang Orb, meaning everyone that is non-human or is fighting non-humans is using spiritual energy.

Special Notes

• Many spell card images and descriptions along with translations are heavily helped by the Touhou Wiki.

Explanations

Canoncity of Touhou Project

The Touhou Project franchise canoncity mainly falls under any media worked on by ZUN are official and canon to the overall lineup.

There are various aspects constantly debated about within the canon:

PC-98

Media like PC-98, has been noted by ZUN to be ignored as one can ignore derivative works. He has also said that anything prior to Embodiment of Scarlet Devil can for the most part be ignored and one can think of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil as the starting from a clean slate and starting a new series, he's also referred to Highly Responsive to Prayers as a study product. With this in mind, one would assume that PC-98 is thus non-canon to the Windows continuity of games.

However, ZUN has also directly stated PC-98 games are the same world as the Windows Games, stating that any contradictions that exist from PC-98 can be ignored from the retcon in Windows Era. While one argues ZUN noting the works are derivative works to be ignored and Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil should be seen as the starting point, these statements are moreso telling a fan to not worry about having to play PC-98 games or learn more about their stories.

It's also been noted in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil's おまけ.txt that the game chronologically is not too far from the previous title, which would be Mystic Square, the PC-98 title. ZUN has also directly brought back characters from PC-98 games, noting he wanted to bring back characters from before Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and notes any of the other older characters that don't appear have probably retired by now and are warmly watching over things from various places nowadays. When asked where Mima from PC-98 has gone, ZUN notes that he doesn't bring them back due to making things complicated and having potentially angry fans ask where she has been the entire time, he has also noted that there's not much use for characters like Genji as Reimu can fly now and also notes he is not dead. ZUN has also made mention to Genji probably living in the lake in the back of the shrine. In Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Reimu and Marisa were talking about glowing moss with Reimu saying it would be nice to transfer it to the pond in the back of the Hakurei Shrine and Marisa saying that she could make it grow there on the turtles' back, referencing Genji.

In Touhou 07 Perfect Cherry Blossom, when Alice meets Reimu, she tells her long time no see, noting that they've met before calling her "old friend". In Yuuka's mode in Touhou Project - Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Reimu directly references defeating Yuuka back in PC-98. If Yuuka defeats Marisa in the same game, she will note that Marisa has grown up quite a bit, when the last time she's seen her has been in PC-98.

Seeing as ZUN himself has directly said both PC-98 and Windows are in the same world and that characters directly acknowledged PC-98 events and reference characters from it, PC-98 is completely canon and any contradictions PC-98 have can be ignored.

Side Games Time Placements

Touhou 7.5 - Immaterial and Missing Power takes place between Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night.

Multiple Playable Routes

In the series, there are multiple playable character routes, including some where the characters fight Reimu herself and defeat her, calling question into what route is canon. ZUN has elaborated that canonically, anytime Reimu and the gang are defeated, they challenge again however many times they want, but on the youkai side, they do not challenge again after being defeated and are not attached to the results of winning or losing.

In terms of how playable routes have went, some examples of canonically noted routes:

• In Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, it's noted that Reimu resolved the Scarlet Devil Mansion Incident alone.
• Reimu is also acknowledged to have resolved the Spring Snow Incident in Perfect Cherry Blossom, though it is not noted if she did this alone.
• Reimu claims she solved the Eternal Night incident, however if one asks her about the cause or the perpetrator, she'll only respond with ambiguous answers, it is also not noted if she did this alone.

With some of these examples, it is normally assumed that in some way Reimu has some part in resolving every incident and other routes are dubiously canon depending on what transpired.

Spell Card Rules

There are many cases of weaker humans beating stronger Yokai or vice versa within the Touhou series, this has been elaborated on in Reimu's profile on Perfect Memento in Strict Sense. Reimu introduced the spell card rules as the youkai had no way to defeat the Hakurei shrine maiden, making many youkai feel that their meaning to exist have dissapeared. The rules incoporate the following:

• Spell cards are techniques specially-named by the individual, and they must be declared upon use.
• The number of each party's spell cards must be determined in advance of a duel.
• The first party to have all of their spell cards beaten must admit defeat.
• The victor is entitled only to what was agreed upon before the duel. If they're not interested in what their opponent has to offer, they can refuse a duel.
• Winners should generally allow losers a rematch.
• Always prepare for the unexpected.

The original draft held these rules:

• Combatants will give names and meanings to the duel for the benefit of beauty.
• Combatants will declare the number of named duels before beginning.
• Combatants may not repeat attacks by relying on stamina.
• Combatants may not deliver attacks that do not have meaning. The meaning itself becomes the attack's power.
• In the case that a combatant loses a named duel, that combatant will admit defeat, even if he or she has strength remaining. No combatant may kill a human, even upon victory.
• Combatants will write the duel's name on paper in the format of a contract. By doing so, the above-mentioned rules become absolute. These papers will be called spell cards.

These rules allows for duels that feel almost like sport rather then a match, and have allowed for weaker fighters to challenge stronger ones, due to this though, it also has become possible for youkai to freely defeat Reimu without worrying about the consequences.

Due to them being written into cards and essentially affecting the ability and power of an attack, the spell cards are likely the thing binding attacks to specific properties.

Parallel Worlds

Parallel Worlds is a topic brought up at some points in the Touhou Project franchise, they are worlds called "Probability Worlds" by Yumemi, stating that those and parallel worlds are one and the same. This essentially means that parallel worlds in Touhou are based on the concept of probability. Yumemi and Chiyuri use a "Probability Space Hypervessel" in order to travel to alternate worlds and time periods, further showcasing that probabiliy serves an importance.

Magical vs. Physical Strength

There are multiple occasions of characters commenting on humans like Reimu being strong. Despite this Reimu showcases physical strength that isn't superhuman, such as the fact that she cannot cut a bamboo stick while Fujiwara direclty does in front of her.

This is due to the difference between magical and physical strength.

In works like Symposium of Post-mysticism, Yuugi Hoshiguma's profile has Suika directly state that Yuugi is weaker then her in magical powers, but stronger than her physically, lining a clear difference between magical and physical strength.

While one can be physically stronger then another, such as how Onis are physically the strongest, magic users are still able to keep up with them due to using a different form of attack.

An example can be found with Yuugi herself, when Reimu fights against her in Subterranean Animism, with her acknolwedging her strength, something Yuugi only does to those who are truly strong. This establishes even with spellcard rules, Yuugi considers Reimu a strong fighter. Reimu herself is very clearly not at an oni's physical strength, as she cannot do the things they can, however, her magical strength allows her to keep up with them.

To defend against magical based properties requires Non-Standard Defenses as it is acknowledged as not being something of standard physicality.

The Three Layers of Reality

In Chapter 27 of Curiosities of Lotus Asia, Reimu proceeds to explain how reality works to Rinnosuke and Marisa, where she explains in-depth the three layers of reality.

This conversation started from discussing the mechanism of fortune, where Rinnosuke attempted to posit that the future is predetermined and that Reimu's luck was her being able to calculate in an instant the predetermined future, however Reimu had a different explanation requiring her to lecture on the mechanisms of probability, in her explanation, the world is made up of three layers: the physical layer that moves in accuracy with the laws of physics, the second layer that moves with the spirit, and the third layer of memory which is the recollection of events that lies within all things. The memory layer rejects the loop of the physical and mental layers, the two layers the youkai conceive of the world which is why they believe history repeats itself and the future is predetermined. Since it's only possible to add to the memory layer, it's possible to completely recreate the past.

While the physical layer follows the laws of physics, the mental layer interprets the outcomes and the memory layer alters the probability, essentially creating the future, since it's impossible for memories to raech the same state as a point in the past, the future is not predetermined, thus when Reimu is able to predict how the dice will fall, she's not predicting the fall of the dice, the dice members the fact that she predicted how the dice would fall, thus due to this, Reimu entering the memory of the die-face greatly skews the results in Reimu's favor, where the results side with Reimu.

Thus the memory layer is essentially the most important layer that rejects the notion of loops from the previous two layers.

Trivia

• ZUN has stated that he originally based Alice on two primary sources: the character Alice from Megami Tensei, and Alice from the fighting game Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty. Another major inspiration is, of course, the title protagonist of Lewis Carroll's famous novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This connection is reinforced by the enemies in Mystic Square's Extra Stage, which are card soldiers of the same type depicted in the Walt Disney animated film adaptation. Additionally, the title of the theme used in that stage translates directly to "Alice in Wonderland."

• Alice appeared on the cover of Mystic Square alongside a cat.

• She also appears in the background of both the Music Room and Score Screen in Perfect Cherry Blossom.

• Known as the "Seven-Colored Puppeteer" or "Rainbow Puppeteer," Alice apparently believes there is a correlation between color and power. During her dialogue with Reimu Hakurei in Perfect Cherry Blossom, she claims that Reimu's powers are only equal to 28.5714% (or 2/7) of her own, simply because Reimu's outfit consists of only two colors. This theme recurs throughout Perfect Cherry Blossom, as Yukari Yakumo, Ran Yakumo, and Chen are each named after colors, with their relative power corresponding to that color's position on the visual spectrum.

• In chapter 6 of Strange and Bright Nature Deity, Sunny Milk mentions she is searching for a magician who possesses a grimoire that "shines wonderfully with all the seven colors of the light." Alice does not dispute this description, which may serve as the in-universe explanation for her title.

• Alice's alternate palette in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody resembles Hina-Ichigo, a doll from the manga series Rozen Maiden. In Touhou Hisoutensoku, she gains additional palettes that correspond to other Rozen Maiden dolls: Suiseiseki, Souseiseki, Suigintou, Shinku, Kanaria, and Kirakishou. This is particularly fitting, as in Rozen Maiden, these dolls compete for the title of "Alice"—the perfect doll.

• Alice is one of only two characters in the entire series to appear three times within a single stage: twice as a midboss and then as the stage boss itself. This occurs in Stage 3 of Perfect Cherry Blossom. The only other character to hold this distinction is Seiran in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.

• Alice is also one of five characters who appear as a boss twice in different stages of the same game: she serves as both the Stage 3 boss and the Extra Stage boss in Mystic Square. The others are Rika in Story of Eastern Wonderland, Yuuka Kazami in Lotus Land Story, Junko in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, and Okina Matara in Hidden Star in Four Seasons.

• Alice appears to have connections to the stories in Dolls in Pseudo Paradise. One tale describes an honest man who died from being "nailed to a tree" despite being indoors—a detail that relates to Alice's article in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, which mentions her nailing straw effigies to trees. Other parallels include the men stumbling upon a "Western-style building deep within the forest" and the culprit being described as a "beautiful blonde girl."

• In Hopeless Masquerade, Alice's background cameo sprite includes additional frames of her blinking, though these were ultimately unused in the final release.

☆Stage 3 Boss (Girl of Death, Alice) ○Normally She always attacks you with her dolls so you need to improvise on your ways of avoiding bullets. Basically focus on the attack from Alice herself. Maybe it'll be easier to avoid all the bullets by keeping your movements to the minimal. Also, the attack pattern changes when she's using the following barrier attack so watch out. ○With barrier Shoot at the barrier, and your shots will be reflected. If you want to play safely just don't shoot. She'll return back to her normal attacks soon. ○Final attack Her scattering bullets seem tough to avoid upon inspection, but it's simple. Lure her bullets from around the front of Alice, then move around to avoid the bullets, and you'll be able to defeat her.

☆３面ボス（死の少女　アリス） ○通常時 こいつは常にオプションと同時攻撃してくるから、アドリブ的な弾避けが 必要になってくるわ。 基本的に本体の攻撃に注意しましょう。動きを最小限で小さく避けると、 少し楽かも。 また、この攻撃は次のバリア攻撃をするたびに、本体からの攻撃が変わる ので注意。 ○バリア時 バリアはショットを撃つと撃ち返しがくるの。安全にいくならショットは 撃ちやめよう。後は時間でまた通常時に戻ります。 ○最終段階 ばらまき弾が一見きつくみえる。けど簡単なの。ボス正面ちょい左右ずれ で、白弾を引き付けまたちょい左右に動けばすぐに倒せるでしょう。

Seven-Colored Puppeteer Alice Margatroid The stage 3 boss, kinda ordinary magician. Mainly she possess the ability to handle magic. She is a versatile magician, that has no specific strong or weak point in any area. If you ask me, she is similar to Marisa, or rather I'd say a youkai version of Marisa. Alice has an obsession with collecting things as well, and has the habit of collecting magic items, especially magic books. As they both share the same hobby, she often clashes with Marisa so their relation is like loggerheads. Most recently, she is interested in collecting dolls that have a story associated with them. She had no evident reason to attack Reimu and company. They were chosen for the target of her magic because they were there. Dominating the enemy with overwhelming power is not fun at all for Alice, so she always sees her opponent's reaction and tries to fight with power that exceeds the opponent by a hair. Even if she loses, she doesn't show her full power. That's because she thinks it would be the end of the rope for her if she lost with full power. In this aspect, her personality is somewhat similar to Reimu.

While her appearance is almost identical to humans, she is not one. She is a kind of so called humanoid youkai. Her house is crammed with a lot of dolls. The sight is so spooky that it scares rare visitors away. The house of dolls is strangest even in the forest of the bizarre. It's no wonder that they tend to run away from there. Her personality is indifferent to others, and is easily attached to magic. She puts on a confident attitude, but she actually also has a timid side. She is quite average in melee fighting. Both her body movement and magic using are average. Instead of that she has very high skillfulness, which enables her to control many dolls as if they're living beings. This skillfulness is among the finest among all of Gensokyo.

Seven-Colored Puppeteer, Alice Margatroid A magician living in the Forest of Magic. She possess the ability to use magic. Puppetry is a type of magic too. She rarely goes out by herself, but she had no other choice this time. She has many similarities to Marisa, namely living in the Forest of Magic, being a magician and having an obsession with collecting things. However, they have an absolute difference in that Alice is a magician as a species while Marisa is a human magician. Other than that, they're also different in using forest's mushroom as preference or not. Of course, Alice is the one not using them. However, it is not because of such matter that makes both on bad terms. Magic is her weapon. A magician's magic is always originally developed by the magician. Notes She teams with Marisa this time. Normal speed only applies when she is used as a solo character. Her laser penetrates and lasts as long as the player wishes, so it's unexpectedly strong. Good against both bosses and weaklings. It's her doll that is shooting the laser though. Recommended for those who want to be done quickly.

Seven-Colored Puppeteer Alice Margatroid Species: Magician Ability: Ability to use magic A magician living in the Forest of Magic. The greatest difference between Alice and Marisa is that Marisa is a human of magician occupation whereas Alice is a magician as a species. You might imagine magicians as being indoor-type people; in Alice's case, you'd be right. She spends most of her time alone, and the forest is a good place for that. The forest is quite humid, however, and her dolls will become damaged without her constant care. Because of this, she is currently planning to make a doll that will automatically take care of other dolls.

Seven-Colored Puppeteer Alice Margatroid Species: Magician Ability: ability to manipulate dolls A puppeteer that lives in the forest. She felt something odd about the geyser that erupted, but since youkai prefer not to go underground she worried over what to do. That's when she noticed that Marisa was especially interested in the geyser, so she convinced Marisa to investigate the underground for her. She told her that investigating the hot spring would be a fun game, and pointed her towards the source of the geyser. She also made her carry dolls that had Yukari's remote control devices in them.

ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten (PCB) plaque

Initially introduced in Touhou 5, Mystic Square. If we were introducing her like the original story, it'd be a display of Hakurei Reimu's performance than anything (although I doubt if that was really the case), so I introduced her as one of Marisa's peers. In most fictions, a puppeteer is often portrayed as someone who infuses souls into puppets, making them sentient, but what she achieved is to control all the puppets using her own will. How dexterous!

東方第五弾である、東方怪綺談にも出ていたキャラです。 ストーリー通りだと、主に博麗霊夢の活躍ばかりになってしまうので（実際にはなっていない気もするが）、主に魔理沙の横の繋がりとして出て貰いました。 フィクション作品での人形使いというと、殆どの場合人形に魂が宿り、自我を持ち始める物ですが、彼女は頑張って全部の人形を自分で操作しているそうです。 とんでもなく器用ですね！

ZUN's comment from Dai Touhouten (IN) plaque

She appears as Marisa's buddy as a fellow magician in this game. In the Touhou Project series, "magician" can both be an occupation and a race, and Alice falls under the race category. A race whose purpose of existence is bound to magic. That's why she has dolls around her enchanted with magic.

同じ魔法使いとして魔理沙の相棒として登場しています。 東方Projectでは魔法使いという言葉には二つ意味があって、 職業としてのそれと、種族としてのそれがあります。彼女は後者の方です。 魔法そのものが存在意味という種族なので、 彼女の周りには魔法がかった人形がいるのです。

Misconceptions

Characters Have Flown Through Outerspace

One example of this is believed to be in Touhou 02's Stage 3 Scarlet Dream ~ Scarlet Dream where it displays stars and a space-like effect in the background, however this is actually the World of Fantasies, the world that lies between Makai and the human world, with Genji confirming this is definetely not outerspace as Reimu can breathe just fine there.

All Characters are Children

This is an argument that spawns from how small the characters look in different works, though this is moreso due to the "moe" artstyle Touhou tries to capture, in many of the manga characters look far older.

Majority of characters in the series are outright shown to drink alcohol on a daily basis, where one needs to be at least 20 years old under Japanese law to drink, where Japanese law requires no underaged characters to be shown drinking. This is even acknowledged in the series itself with a note saying alcohol is only for those over 20 years old. Thus if a character is ever seen drinking alcohol in the series, they are an adult.

The only direct non-adults in the series are Sumireko Usami, Chiyuri Kitashirakawa, and Hieda no Akyuu in her first appearance.

Youkai Control the world through both the mental and physical layer

This statement comes from a fan translation that says this in Curiosities of Lotus Asia.

While the statement seems clear cut, there is another translation used instead that makes more sense with the sentence.

It instead notes that most youkai concieve of the world through these two layers, which is why they believe the future is pre-determined and history repeats itself. This falls in line with the earlier disucssion of Rinnosuke claiming that he believes the future to be predetermined and Reimu needing to explain to him why that's not the case.
