Codex Statistics
Grade: B
Tier: Low 10-B, Far Higher with Spiritual Power, Even Higher when Heralding Spring
Cardinality: Finite
Dimensionality: 3-D
Attack Potency: Below Average Human level (Fairies are much weaker then a grown human[6]), Far Higher with Spiritual Power (Spiritual Power is the main power source for how characters are able to fight, all of their attacks normally drain spirit and even blocking attacks drains spirit[7], where if they're out of spirit they cannot use bullets, special moves, or spell cards[8], where spiritual power is in the same layer as magic[9]. Noted how even Yumemi Okazaki's scientific magic truly pales in comparison with the real thing[10], which Yumemi noted to not make light of the power of her science as she could blow up the planet at any moment[11]). Can ignore covnentional durability with Magic (Magic exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory[12], 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[13]. Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything[14]. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion[15]. 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[9]), Even Higher when Heralding Spring (It's noted that Lily is at her strongest when she is converying her message of spring coming, being warned to not distrub her while she is conveying such message[2])
Durability: Below Average Human level, Far Higher with Spiritual Power (Spiritual Power is what protects fighters from other spiritual attacks[16], where if they're out of spirit they cannot use bullets, special moves, spell cards or block attacks[17], where spiritual power is in the same layer as magic[9]). Her existence as a fairy makes her very difficult to kill (Fairies in a stricter sense cannot die, having a concept of death that differs from that of humans allowing them to take reckless action without fearing death[4]. 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[18]), Even Higher when Heralding Spring
Striking Strength: Below Average Human Class, Even Higher when Heralding Spring
Lifting Strength: Below Average Human Class, Even Higher when Heralding Spring
Travel Speed: Superhuman (Can keep up with other characters flight speeds, where they can reach across long distances due to being able to fly[19]), Even Higher when Heralding Spring
Attack Speed: Superhuman (Capable of tagging Reimu Hakurei with their attacks[20]), Even Higher when Heralding Spring. Magic Attacks lack a defined speed (Magic exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory[21], 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[22]. Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything[23]. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion[24])
Reaction Speed: Superhuman, Even Higher when Heralding Spring
Stamina: Likely Limitless (Fairies are active at all hours, so one can encounter them both at daytime and in the night[4]. Fairies do not need to eat, they only eat as they see the way humans enjoy their meals[4])
Range: Standard Melee. At least Tens of Meters with Attacks (Causes the energy bullets circle around them and shoot outwards filling the entire screen[25]. Shoots out energy bullets in all directions and spread them outwards covering the screen[26]). Possibly Kilometers with Nature Manipulation (As the Fairy Herlad of Spring, when she passes by, it's noted that after the passing of this fairy, everything becomes wrapped in the joy of spring[2], though it's not exactly clear if she is doing this through her message or if she's merely a messenger)
Intelligence: Average Intelligence
Knowledge: At least Master level on the pheneomna they embody (Fairies true identity is that of the natural phenomena themselves[4], thus they'd have all knowledge surrounding it), Novice level otherwise (Fairies are rather simple-minded in other aspects, being said that they are simply foolish[4])

- Source: Metaphysical Regeneration
- Capabilities: Non-Humans within Gensokyo do not have much demand for medicine for physical illnesses as they are comprised mostly of spirit, thus they can always regenerate from their spirit[27].
- Non-Standard Defenses (Reimu realized that only the Yin-Yang Orb was effective against non-human creatures[28], with it being noted that Reimu using her ofuda, her spirit power, and her martial arts all prove to be useless against her enemies[29], 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[30]. In the world beyond (Gensokyo), physical form has no meaning for all non-human entities[31])

- For Their Physiology
- Magic (Magic exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory[32], 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[33]. Yumemi also explains that in the world of Gensokyo, magic unifies everything[34]. Magic is noted by Yumemi to have close ties with religion[35])

- For their Magic

- Unknown: Magical power exists outside of the Grand Unified Theory[38], 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[39]. 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[40]. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension[41].

- 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[57]. Magic does not exist in Yumemi's world, which is a Probability World, a different world, but in the same dimension[58])
- Madness Manipulation (Unaffected from the affects of the Lunarian Full Moon, a hypnosis that drove the humans who came to the Moon insane[59], further being noted by Reisen that the moon drives people insane[60])
- Disease Manipulation (Non-Humans 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 with no diseases[27])
- Matter Manipulation & Physics Manipulation (Gensokyo is a brane world dominated by particles with different properties, not following the standard physics of the real world[61], with the grand unified theory being the reason for all pheneomna in the human world, which does not apply to Gensokyo[62])
- Gravity Manipulation (Noted by Maribel that in the world of Gensokyo, they the gravitons likely have a different structure and the world's properties are likely different too, likening it to being one of the brane worlds[63])

- Breaking the Fourth Wall (Touhou characters constantly acknowledge being a stage boss[67])
- Cartoon Physics (Gensokyo is a world that lacks and defies common sense[68], where characters can explode[69], this is even acknowledged with ZUN roleplaying as the characters in-universe that they explode upon defeat[70]. Despite this they will still come back, even human characters that do not have regeneration)
- Non-Standard Interaction

Notable Techniques
Announcing Spring
Lily can announce that spring has arrived. While the concrete nature of this ability is unclear, Gensokyo's residents genuinely feel the sense of spring's arrival when she does so, making her popular with florists.
She appears to provide impetus for flowers and other plants to bloom. In one instance, the place she passed by instantly became spring.
Attack 1
Lily shoots out dozens of energy lasers all around her that all scatter into different directions and home into the opponent. She will teleport around and repeat this process.
Attack 2
Lily shoots out a spread of red and blue energy bullets that go to both sides before coming together and covering the screen.
Attack 1
Lily sporadically shoots out a couple of energy bullets in all directions.
Attack 2
Lily shoots out dozens of energy bullets in the shape of a flower lily. She repeats this attack.
Attack 3
Lily shoots out vertical 8-way bullets in differnet directions while also shooting out another flower lily-shaped energy bullets.
Attack 4
Lily shoots out dozens of energy bullets in a spread-pattern.
Attack 1
Lily and Daiyousei shoot out energy bullets sporadically in all directions. Afterwards they make energy bullets circle around them and shoot them outwards filling the entire screen.
Attack 2
Daiyousei and Lily shoots out energy bullets in all directions and spread them outwards covering the screen.
Attack 3
Lily and Daiyousei move around back and forth throughtout the screen dropping dozens of energy bullets while also shooting bullets out in all directions.
Lily shoots out two types of energy bullets in a clockwise and counter-clockwise direction at the same time.
Other
Standard Tactics: Lily White usually appears to announce the coming of Spring, if she is very excited she will start shooting out danmaku.
Weaknesses
- Fairies Weaknesses: As fairies concept of death appears to differ from humans, it can also be said that they are simply foolish[4]. Fairies numbers will decrease if they live in gloomy places[4]. Fairies will not go near cautious people, thus they will stay away from anyone paying attention[6]. Fairies are much weaker then a grown human[6].
- Magic Weaknesses: Magic users taking too much damage will cancel out their attacks[267]. If a magic users spirit is depleted they enter a state of "Guard Crush" where they can't use bullets, special moves, or spell cards at all[268]. Repeatedly attacking red glyphs will break one's defenses[269].
- Unique Weaknesses: Nothing notable.
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[270] where she notes the science of the main world is much more primitive then hers[271], 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[272], 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[43] 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[273], 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[274]. 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[275], he's also referred to Highly Responsive to Prayers as a study product[276]. 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[277]. 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[278]. 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[279]. 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[280]. ZUN has also made mention to Genji probably living in the lake in the back of the shrine[281]. 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[282].
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"[283]. In Yuuka's mode in Touhou Project - Phantasmagoria of Flower View, Reimu directly references defeating Yuuka back in PC-98[284]. 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[285].
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[286].
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[287].
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[288].
- 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[289].
- 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[290].
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[73]. 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[291]:
- 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[292]. 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[293], further showcasing that probabiliy serves an importance.
Magical vs. Physical Strength
There[294] are[295] multiple[296] occasions[297] of[298]characters[299] commenting[300] on[301] humans like[302] Reimu[303] being strong[304]. 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[305], 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[306], with her acknolwedging her strength[307], something Yuugi only does to those who are truly strong[305]. 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[308], 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[9]. 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[309].
Thus the memory layer is essentially the most important layer that rejects the notion of loops from the previous two layers.
Dream vs. Reality
In the Touhou Project series, it is made very apparent that dream and reality are in truth one and the same.
In Changeability of Strange Dream, Maribel Hearn has a conversation with Renko Usami about how she is bringing objects out of her dreams[310], which Maribel posits that truth exists within subjectivity, if one can see the same sights over and over again then that's the kind of place it is as such dreams are nothing like the antonym of reality[311], where much longer ago people did not draw a distinction between dreams and reality[312], with Maribel reiterating that dreams and reality are the same[313].
In Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom it is shown that the Dream World is a separate plane[314], that in games like Antinomy of Common Flower are shown to have influence[315] on reality[316].
In the Urban Legends in Limbo finale, Sumireko notes that she is able to travel between the human world and Gensokyo whenver she sleeps, where her dream self enters Gensokyo[317] making her innately unable to be interacted with[318].
Trivia
- Although Lily White has never uttered the phrase "Spring is here!" (春ですよー haru desu yo-) in any official Touhou work, Beerko does say "Spring has come!" in one of her illustrations.
- In Hidden Star in Four Seasons, both Lily White and Aunn Komano share the same background image when executing a Spell Card.
- Lily has appeared in a total of seven Touhou games—the highest number of appearances for any character who does not have an associated music theme.

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[319], 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[320].
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[321], 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[322]. 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[323].
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[324]. 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[308].
