History Characters / TouhouDoubleDealingCharacter

* {{Badass}}: Goes without saying for an EX-boss. Tsukumogami are generally considered WeakButSkilled in Gensokyo. Raiko, however, is a tsukumogami ''[[ShockAndAwe with the power of]] [[JapaneseMythology Raijin]]''.

* JapaneseMythology: Her appearance and some of her powers are based off the thunder god [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raijin Raijin]].

** One of her electricity-shooting spell cards is named after the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den-den_daiko den-den daiko]], a Japanese pellet drum. While den-den is Japanese onomatopoeia for drumming, den by itself can also mean "electricity". (In JapaneseMythology, Raijin the god of thunder also wears a taiko drum for this reason.)

Wherever possible, character images come from portraits [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter not drawn by ZUN]] used in official games and print works. Images of characters without quality official portraits are labeled "''[--(fanart)--]''".

Please remember to only use examples that are either [[WordOfGod canon]] or have undergone mass MemeticMutation so that the page doesn't become overcrowded with tropes that only occur in one person/circle's works.

[[AC:Concerning the romanization of names]]

There are two principal methods for transcribing Japanese names into Latin letters: the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization Hepburn System]] and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunrei-shiki_romanization Kunrei-shiki System]]. In general, [[WordOfGod ZUN]] favored the Hepburn System before ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', but changed to the Kunrei-shiki System afterward. This page uses the Hepburn format for the sake of [[SpellMyNameWithAnS argument]], as it is the most widely recognized and makes the pronunciation obvious to English speakers.

This page is for ''Touhou'' characters who debuted in ''Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character''. For characters that debuted elsewhere, consult [[Characters/{{Touhou}} the index]].

** Also, she only participates in the events of ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' because she believes that if she collects all the balls she'll get her wish to increaze her size.

* HeightAngst: She is quite conscious about her original tiny height, so she uses the power of the Mallet to grow bigger. [[spoiler:After the Mallet's power runs out, she goes to her original inchling size. ''Manga/ForbiddenScrollery'' shows that she'll wait patiently for the Mallet to recharge and then wish to get bigger again.]]

* FailedASpotCheck: Doesn't notice Koishi ''while being attacked by her''. Then again, few people ever do.

** Most notable in her sprties for ''Urban Legend in Limbo'', where she is seen as [[http://tasofro.net/touhou145/img/sc09.jpg much smaller than the rest of the cast]].

* LittleGreenMen: The green inchlings that Shinmyoumaru summons to fight for her in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' are a reference to this trope, in keeping with the game's "urban legends" theme.

* DropTheHammer: She uses her copy of the Miracle Mallet like a regular warhammer, with all the oomph that this implies. By the time of the events in ''Gold Rush'' she has reacquired the real Miracle Mallet and uses it to destroy Reimu's bullets.

* LittleGreenMen: The green inchlings that Shinmyoumaru summons to fight for her in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' are a reference to this trope.

** BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: This is, in essence, more or less what her morality boils down to. And it's not just for show, so everyone can understand how despicable she is, either; she actually sincerely thinks this way.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Her morality basically depends on being completely contrary to everyone else. If she causes trouble and everyone hates her for it, she's happy, because if everyone liked her she'd be unhappy.

* CombatPragmatist: While everyone else says "play fair" with the Spell Card rules, Seija says it's all fair play: She will gladly break every rule in the book to win, and stuff like "good sportsmanship" doesn't really exist to her.

* DropTheHammer: She uses her copy of the Miracle Mallet like a regular warhammer, with all the oomph that this implies. By the time of the events in ''Gold Rush'' she has reaquired the real Miracle Mallet and uses it to destroy Reimu's bullets.
* {{Foil}}: By her very nature she can easily be this to pretty much any other character in the series. In an amusing way, she is even this to the {{Shipping}} happy ''Touhou'' fandom community; her nature makes it very difficult to set her up with anyone without breaking character. Her being an amanojaku could also make her a {{foil}} to the oni characters: oni in ''Touhou'' hate liars and are known for their own honesty and brutish strength, while amanojaku are often portrayed as being twisted and dishonest but pretty weak.

* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: Basically the entirety of ''Impossible Spell Card'' is her cheating through all of her opponents attacks, completely ignoring the spell card rules.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Turns into a wolf (or at least, ''[[AnimalBattleAura a giant wolf head]]'') during portions of certain spellcards.

* CombatPragmatist: Seija will break every rule in the book to win, and stuff like "good sportsmanship" doesn't really exist for her.

* DropTheHammer: She uses her copy of the Miracle Mallet like a regular warhammer, with all the oomph that this implies.

* InterfaceScrew: Depending on her spellcards, she will FLIP or TURN the screen and controls.

* PromotedToPlayable: Went from Stage 5 Boss in DDC to playable character in the GaidenGame ''Impossible Spell Card''.

** One of her spellcards refers to the Japanese title of ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Through the Looking-Glass]]''.

** Her final spellcard on Hard and Lunatic is called "Change Air Brave", a play on the title of ''Change Air Blade'', a versus shmup where one player takes the role of the player character and the other takes the role of the boss, with the two players occasionally ''flipping'' sides.

* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: Basically the entirety of ''Impossible Spell Card'' is her cheating through all of her opponents attacks, completely ignoring the spellcard rules.

* VillainProtagonist: In ''Impossible Spell Card''. While she isn't doing anything villainous in the game, she's still on the run for the trouble she caused in ''Double Dealing Character''.

* DopplegangerSpin: Her final spellcard does this, ultimately creating seven copies of herself. See ShoutOut.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: The sewing needle she's holding is intended to be a sword, again referencing the Issun-boshi legend. She has a spellcard named after it.
* InterfaceScrew: Not as bad as Seija's, but her survival spellcard significantly magnifies the player character's hitbox size, which can only mean trouble in a danmaku game.

* ShoutOut: Her second-to-last spellcard on Normal is called "Shingeki no Kobito" (進撃の小人), [[note]]or, if you insist: ''Shingeki no Kojin''[[/note]] which will sound familiar to anyone keeping up with [[Manga/AttackOnTitan a certain anime about titanic humanoids]]. The attack itself, which consists of moving through concentric circular walls of bullets, should also look familiar. It's also an IncrediblyLamePun: Kobito ("little person") and Kyojin ("large person") are opposites. Unsurprisingly, the English-speaking fanbase has dubbed the card "[[{{Woolseyism}} Attack on Dwarf]]".
** Her final spellcard in Easy and Normal difficulties is named after "Literature/HopOMyThumb" and his [[SprintShoes seven league boots]]. On harder difficulties, the card changes its name to "The Seven Issun-Boshi", which probably refers to [[Literature/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs a certain fairytale with seven short people]].

* FourIsDeath: Most of her spellcards begin with their number followed by the word "Drum" (First Drum, Second Drum, etc). Her fourth spellcard begins with "Death Drum".

* InterfaceScrew: Her [[FourIsDeath fourth spellcard]] shakes the screen while it's filled with bullets.

* MusicalAssassin: Also has musical note danmaku, and her last two spellcards synchronize to the background music. %%For the record, the trope does not just refer to assassins.

* ShockAndAwe: Some of her spellcards shoot electricity.
** One of her electricity-shooting spellcards is named after the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den-den_daiko den-den daiko]], a Japanese pellet drum. While den-den is Japanese onomatopoeia for drumming, den by itself can also mean "electricity". (In JapaneseMythology, Raijin the god of thunder also wears a taiko drum for this reason.)

** ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: After all the wacky experimental songs that have happened in this game, her's is actually a return to the basic ZUN instruments: trumpets, piano, and drums.

* ManipulativeBastard: Caused the incident by lying to Shinmyoumaru, saying that the youkai were responsible for the downfall of the ''kobito''.

* ScrewySquirrel: If she does something, it's because she enjoys watching the chaos that will inevitably ensues. The clusterfuck is its own rewards, so to speak.

!Debuted in ''Double Dealing Character''

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Everyone hated her for what she did, and in fact, she's [[PowerOfHate loves to be hated]]. Going with her contrasting nature and all.
