History Characters / TouhouFuujinrokuMountainOfFaith

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Nitori's early appearances talked about her being mostly shy and softspoken, with just a few hints to her [[BitchInSheepsClothing being more conceited under the surface]]. ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' and ''Hopeless Masquerade'' made her an openly arrogant InsufferableGenius OnlyInItForTheMoney, and her shy side would be never spoken about again.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In her first appearance she was characterized as shy, but still willing to help the player character. In her appearances afterwards her shyness and helpfulness disappeared, instead becoming greedy and thinking she's better than humans and other youkai.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The reason she's participating in the events of ''Hopeless Masquerade'' is so she can make money at the festivals. Her storyline has her gaining popularity entirely by accident.

* SignatureMove: Exteeending Aaarm, both in fanon and in canon, since in Japanese folklore it's said that kappa are able to extend and retract their arms. In Nitori's case it's usually a mechanical grabber rather than one of her own arms.

* WrenchWench: Her ''Hopeless Masquerade'' title is "Handyman of the River" and she's a {{Magitek}} engineer who dons [[InvisibilityCloak optical camouflage]], uses [[ExtendableArms extendable robot arms]], and is capable of [[MacrossMissileMassacre firing missiles]]. She's also really fond of human technology that falls across the Great Hakurei Border.

* JadeColoredGlasses: As the "Symbol of Loneliness and Death," she is a pessimist who believes that "the end[[note]]of the year[[/note]] will always come."

::''Symbol of Loneliness and Death''

::''Symbol of Harvest and Plenty''

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cucumbers, as is traditionally the case with Kappa.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cucumbers. Partly because Kappa traditionally like cucumbers, and partly due to Music/{{IOSYS}}'s remix of her {{leitmotif}}, which [[MemeticMutation led to her being often shown]] with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pepsi_cucumber.jpg cucumber-flavored Pepsi]] and beer.

* NiceHat: A red mob cap with a cluster of red grapes tied to it.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Kappa, according to mythology, look like some MadScientist spliced a turtle, a monkey and a duck together. Nitori is a cute girl with a NiceHat.

* NiceHat: A cap whose flat top and brim are meant to invoke the look of a traditional kappa's head and beak.

* NiceHat: A wide-brimmed one with frog-like googly eyes atop of it.

* WaltzOnWater: She's a {{Kappa}} (a species that lives in rivers) and her ability is "manipulation of water". Fittingly, her {{Leitmotif}} is in 3/4 time.

* {{Kappa}}: Her hat is meant to evoke a plate that kappas traditionally wear to keep the water in their hollowed-out heads from spilling out, with a visor that represents a kappa's duck bill, and her backpack the turtle-like shell.

* JadeColoredGlasses: As the "Symbol of Loneliness and Death," she is a pessimist who believes that "the end (of the year) will always come."

* JadeColoredGlasses: As the "Symbol of Loneliness and Death," she is a pessimist who believes that "the end will always come."

::''Nagashi-hina of the Hidden God''

* WrenchWench: Her ''Hopeless Masquerade'' title is "Handyman of the River" and she's a {{Magitek}} engineer who dons [[InvisibilityCloak optical camouflage]], [[ExtendableArms extendible robot arms]], and [[MacrossMissileMassacre missiles]]. She's also really fond of human technology that falls across the Great Hakurei Border.

* ManBitesMan: Two of few spellcards include Dog Bite "Rabies Bite" and Fang Sign "Chewing Satisfaction", which according to other people comments does involve her actually trying to bite her opponent.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Goes around barefoot.

* InterserviceRivalry: There are some hints that within tengu society the wolf tengu (guardsman corps) don't really get along with the crow tengu ([[CleverCrows information gathering corps]]). Or maybe Momiji is just annoyed by Aya personally for whatever reason.

* WrenchWench: Her ''Hopeless Masquerade'' title is "Handyman of the River".

* BuxomIsBetter: Is consistently drawn by various artists with at least a noticeable bust, even ZUN.
** This is particularly noticeable in ''Hopeless Masqurade'' where not only is she one of the few background characters portrayed with any noticeable bust at all, she's one of two who actually has [[JigglePhysics any sort of breast movement in the game]] ,the other being Byakuren, who unlike Sanae, is in the foreground.

* BoobsOfSteel: Most artists depict her as stacked, and being a God she can kick your ass.

A minor god of fallen leaves. The older of the Aki sisters, despite bearing the lowly position of midboss with no dialogue. {{Fanon}} thus has it that she's less reliable than Minoriko.

* CatchPhrase: A fanon one. "Kappapappapappa" and variants.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Calls out Suwako in ''Hisoutensoku'' for hiding her and Kanako's plans involving the titular robot from both her and everyone else in Gensokyo, citing how hiding things during ''Subterranean Animism'' just got everyone mad at them. The fact that not too long beforehand Reimu blames her for starting the incident likely didn't help matters either.

* TheChessmaster: Comes up with a number of plots to manipulate others and gather more faith in both canon and fanon, although she's rather bad at anticipating various [[SpannerInTheWorks Spanners In The Works]]. It's notable that her plans tend to result in incidents, something Marisa called her out on in ''Symposium of Post-mysticism''.

* AnimalMotifs: Suwako is associated with frogs (though she's not a god of frogs; she just happens to be fond of them). This led Kanako to adopt snakelike elements into her own symbols, even though Suwako officially controls snakes and Kanako controls...[[MindScrew actually, Akyuu doesn't know what Kanako controls]]. In fanon, it just as often leads to bitter clashes with the frog-freezing Cirno. [[FoeYay Or to the two of them pairing up]].
