History Characters / TouhouLostWord

To look up the tropes for the characters who originate from the mainline Touhou Project games, go [[Characters/TouhouProject here.]] \\\

[[folder:Ibaraki-Douji's Arm]]
Universe Classification: L1\\

The amputated arm of Kasen Ibaraki, who has received a full form. She's a hot-blooded youkai that tends to be very temperamental.

Unlike the main story characters before her, she's a standard Festival unit.
----
* HerNameReallyIsBarkeep: Her name is literally Ibaraki-Douji's Arm.
* YouRemindMeOfX: In her release trailer, it seems you thought she was another Kasen. She's flustered about it and hides it by stating that she's a twin. She does bear a resemblance to Kasen prior to her arm amputation.

Universe Classification: L1

* ShoutOut: In spite of the mainline Remilia being short as it is (and this Remilia being no smaller), she's referred to as the Tiny Devil Mistress, which may be a reference to another character in the game who has a similar title, that being the Yuyuko of Universe R2, whose title is almost identical (being the Tiny Ghost Mistress).

An alternative version of Satori Komeiji. Much is unknown about the universe she hails from and its story, but she briefly appears in Chapter 4, alongside a myriad of other alternate universe characters.

An alternative version of Satori Komeiji. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her pets, her sister, and her mind-reading ability.\\

An alternative version of Youmu Konpaku. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word Incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her master, Yuyuko.\\

[[folder:Disillusion]]

* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted. Like the other Relic units, her title, {{Leitmotif}}, original music video and a story card acquired at her story event in the ruins of memory all share the same title, in this case, "Silver Gale".

[[caption-width-right:350:"I think deep down in my heart, I knew this would happen. We both have our own problems, and we both need each other's help, just as it was in the rebel army."]]
Universe Classification: B5///
An alternative version of Fujiwara no Mokou, hailing from the same universe as the yellow-haired Reisen. From what has been told of her right now, she appears to be taking part in a rebellion of some sort.

!!Code B3 - You of the End
[[folder: The Lunar War Enchanter]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mecharisa_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"This gear was entrusted to me by the magicians of the forest-- You won't believe how powerful it is! Now, let's get to it!"]]

Universe Classification: B3\\\

Another alternative version of Marisa Kirisame. This one is seen in the Hifuu Lost Word story line, You of the End. In this Marisa's world, Magic itself was sealed away due to being that world's Lost Word, and with their powers gone and most youkai dead, the remaining survivors, Marisa included, fight a desperate war against the Lunarians, the only beings to retain their power, using reverse-engineered technology.\\\

This Marisa lacks her signature ability to use magic, but instead she's armed to the teeth with technological weapons that help her replicate, if not surpass, her usual abilities.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Her equipment tends to take parts from characters Marisa is associated with. Most notably, her armor and weapons typically take their designs from the other dwellers of the Forest of Magic, with Alice and Narumi being name-dropped outright- her technology is essentially mechanically replicating both her magic and theirs. It's also noted that she's borrowed designs from her other ''Subterranean Animism'' partners, Nitori and Patchouli. This is also likely where her attack drones come from.
* AttackDrone: She operates these as a part of her Last Word, Remote Master Sparks.
* {{BFG}}: Oh yeah. That big cannon she's carrying? It's essentially a multi-purpose launcher powered by her Mini-Hakkero. Essentially, what it does is activate the Hakkero artificially and uses its power to launch either missiles or lasers.
* GuestStarPartyMember: In the Hifuu Lost Word stages on a first time playthrough of normal difficulty. She appears in acts 2 and 5. In Act 2, she fights alongside the other five Lunar War units, and in Act 5, she fights alongside just the Lunar War Shaman.
* HeroicSacrifice: She, alongside the Lunar War Shaman (Reimu) are the last of your allies in the Hifuu Lost Word story to sacrifice themselves.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brwZIcdgeVs Sparking Slash, another remix of Love-Coloured Master Spark.]]
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Her spell card Love Sign: Machine Gun Spark is this, firing off a barrage of missiles and star bullets.
* WaveMotionGun: Love Sign: Wide Master is this Marisa's answer to the Master Spark (based off of a spell card canonically seen in ''Impossible Spell Card'', no less).

[[folder: The Lunar War Shaman]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20210302_300101____fix_2_1_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I can fight effectively even within the extreme environment of the moon's surface, thanks to this outfit a certain youkai prepared for me. I told her she shouldn't have bothered, but I changed my mind once I tried it out. I've treasured it ever since."]]

Universe Classification: B3\\\

Another alternative version of Reimu Hakurei. Hailing from the same world as the other Lunar War characters, she's another of the survivors that fights a desperate war for survival against the Lunarians using reverse-engineered lunar technology to make up for their lost abilities.\\\

This Reimu in particular wields an automatic rifle named "Ran" and a handgun named "Chen", with her outfit being designed for her by a certain youkai (Given the names of her ofuda-shooting guns, it's more likely than not her world's version of Yukari who made this equipment for her).

* AbnormalAmmo: Most guns fire bullets, missiles or lasers. This Reimu's fires talismans instead.
* AchillesHeel: Since she has no innate accuracy buffs, she'll need support, be it via equipping her with Accuracy-boosting Story Cards or pairing her with an Accuracy Up/Evasion Down/Paralyze Barrier granting/inflicting unit to fight more evasive foes.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Many of her outfit's functions are taken from characters that Reimu has been associated with, notably thrusters to grant her bursts of speed and the ability to fly, based on Aya, miniature power packs dispersed throughout the outfit, based on Suika, and a system that replicates a limited form of sage powers based on Kasen, used to bring her physical abilities up to her former standard, as well as self-repairing functions based on her own Yin-Yang Orbs, all regulated by shikigami possessing it, provided by Yukari.
* EquippableAlly: It's noted that Reimu's outfit and weapons are made from Yukari's shikigami. Various low-level ones manage the functions in her outfit, while her guns, "Ran" and "Chen", are likely possessed by their namesakes, or at least replicas of them.
* FiringOneHanded: In spite of looking like an assault rifle, this Reimu is fully capable of wielding her Automatic Ofuda Rifle, "Ran" in this manner, as demonstrated in Charm: Fantastic High-Speed Prayer Talismans.
* GuestStarPartyMember: In the Hifuu Lost Word stages on a first time playthrough of normal mode, she appears as a guest party member in Acts 2 and 5. In Act 2, she fights alongside the other five Lunar War units, and in Act 5, she fights alongside just the Lunar War Enchanter.
* GunsAkimbo: Her Last Word, Hakurei Talisman- Fantasy Nature, is this, wielding both "Ran" and "Chen" to rapidfire talismans, based on her baseline self's Last Word.
* {{Handguns}}: Her Large-Caliber Ofuda Handgun, "Chen". She uses it in Charm: Anti-Youkai Houi-Yoke Prayer.
* HeroicSacrifice: Just like Enchanter (Marisa), she's one of the last two to sacrifice themselves to buy time for you to find the Lost Word in the Hifuu Lost Word Scenario.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah8Eg1nTMA8 Special Power of Exposing Moonlit Nights? [Karaoke Version] ]], another remix of Maiden's Capriccio ~ Dream Battle.
* LightningBruiser: Her only real issue aside from lack of innate Accuracy Up is that her attacks are rather backloaded, meaning she needs to take a turn or two to set up before unloading. With that being said, her skills and attacks do this wonderfully, especially considering her spell cards all have scaling. Her first spell card, Charm: Fantastic High-Speed Prayer Talismans, has the 'slicing' tag, meaning it scales with her agility, her second spell card, Charm: Anti-Youkai Houi-Yoke Prayer, has the 'hard' tag, meaning it scales with her defense, and her Last Word, Hakurei Talisman: Fantasy Nature, has ''both Hard and Slicing scaling'', meaning it scales to both her Defense and Agility. She definitely leans more towards the "Bruiser" side, though- her defenses are top of the line, even compared to other powerful tanks such as Yukari or the baseline Reimu, helped by regenerating 20% of her maximum HP every turn and having a 50% chance to gain a barrier back every turn. She can also perform a massive burst of healing with her False Barrier/Hope skill, which heals for 70% of her maximum HP, while her False Barrier/Hakurei skill gives her 3 levels in both of her defenses (which helps towards the Hard scaling on Anti-Youkai Houi-Yoke Prayer and her Last Word- the former ALSO gives 3 levels in both defenses). Lastly, like the other Lunar War units, she has no elemental weaknesses, meaning the only way she will ever suffer a full break is if she gets hit with an attack that breaks barrier abnormalities.

[[folder: The Lunar War Gardener]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20210405_301101____fix_1_1.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I can defeat almost anyone as long as I have my Hakurouken and Roukanken with their beams of light!"]]

Another alternative version of Youmu Konpaku. Hailing from the same world as the other Lunar War units, she fights alongside them in a desperate struggle for survival against an attacking Lunarian force. Due to magic being sealed away, she fights using reverse-engineered lunar technology.\\\

While she was arguably hit the hardest of the Lunar War units by the incident, essentially requring special equipment to keep her phantom half around and her swords lost their magic, she's no less skilled with the blade- and arguably even more dangerous since her new weapons, the Beam Roukanken and Beam Hakurouken, are essentially lightsabers.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Her equipment takes things from various other characters known to be undead, primarily focusing on the Taoists and Netherworld Dwellers. Amongst other things, her Beam Roukanken and Beam Hakurouken gain their power from the abilities of Futo and Tojiko, and her headset (the design of which is based on Miko's earmuffs) runs interference or support by playing music based on the Prismriver Sisters. This is actually where her Skills come from. play:melancholic is based on Lunasa, play:manic is based on Merlin, and play:illusionary is based on Lyrica. These are all controlled by a network device based on Yuyuko's lingering attachments as a ghost, bound under a sub-network based on the roots of the Saigyou Ayakashi.
* BladeSpam: Her second spell card, Reincarnation Sword: Slash of Circular Vicissitude, is this.
* DualWielding: Her Last Word, Spirit Power Dual Wave Cut, essentially has her do this with her {{Laser Blade}}s.
* GuestStarPartyMember: In the Hifuu Lost Word scenario on a first time playthrough of normal difficulty, she appears in Acts 2 and 4. In Act 2, she fights alongside the other five Lunar War units, and in Act 4, she fights alongside just the Lunar War Soldier.
* HeroicSacrifice: She's part of the second Lunar War group that sacrifices themselves to buy you time, in this case alongside the Lunar War Soldier (Reisen) in the Hifuu Lost Word scenario.
* IaijutsuPractitioner: Her first spell card, Sword Skill: Cherry Blossom Flashing, has her perform a dashing slash while unsheathing her Beam Roukanken.
* LaserBlade: Oh yeah. In case how she looks didn't give it away This Youmu's Roukanken and Hakurouken are essentially lightsabers.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5X1yXqAI8s Twilight Temple Dream]], a remix of Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple.
* LightningBruiser: Like the Lunar War Shaman, she has high agility and high defense to go with the fact that her Last Word, Spirit Power Dual Wave Cut, has both Hard and Slicing scaling, though unlike Shaman, she leans more towards the 'Lightning' side than 'Bruiser' side, having extremely high agility and offenses. If that wasn't enough, she also naturally generates additional Spirit Power every turn, meaning she ramps up incredibly quickly. With that being said, while her defenses are her worst stats, they're by no means bad, and her spell cards even buff her defenses to take advantage of their Hard scaling.

[[folder: The Lunar War Oracle]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/20210414_303701____fix_processed.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Most of my powers have been sealed away, but now that I have this gear equipped with the ritual framework, I'll lead us all into a bright future!"]]

An alternative version of Sanae Kochiya. She hails from the same world as the other Lunar War units, fighting alongside her fellow Gensokyo survivors in a desperate battle for survival against an encroaching Lunarian threat, using advanced technology to make up for their lost powers.\\\

Sanae's new gear is to make up for the fact that when magic was lost to the world, Sanae lost basically all of her power and returned to being an ordinary human, but she's arguably stronger for it, considering the ritual framework built into her gear provides her with the faith she needs to perform rituals, and to such an extent that even miracles that would ordinarily take a prolonged ritual can be performed quickly.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Sanae was always a practitioner of this, and her gear as the Lunar War Oracle is no exception. Her equipment, save for one of her cannons which is based on her own purification rod, is entirely based on the abilities of Kanako and Suwako.
* CriticalHitClass: She's an absolute master at firing off CRIT Evasion and CRIT DEF Down debuffs. Literally all of her spell cards do it to varying degrees: Esoterica: Forgotten Ritual hits all foes with two levels of CRIT DEF down for 3 turns, with the main target taking an additional level of CRIT DEF Down. Miracle: Night with Overly Bright Stars is the same, except for CRIT Evasion down. Finally, her Last Word, Divine Full Armor Purge, inflicts 3 levels of CRIT DEF down and CRIT Evasion down. Her passive also increases the party's CRIT Evasion when she uses Spirit Power to boost, and CRIT Accuracy when she uses Barriers to graze, her first Skill, Ritual Framework, drops another two levels of CRIT DEF down and CRIT Evasion down on the entire enemy party, and lastly, even her Shots play into this: Iron Ring Laser, her Spread Shot, can drop the target's CRIT Evasion, and Divine Pillar Cannon, her Focus Shot, can drop the target's CRIT Def.
* GuestStarPartyMember: On a first time playthrough of the Hifuu Lost Word scenario's Normal difficulty, she's a guest character, fighting alongside the other Lunar War units in Act 2 and with only the Lunar War Servant in Act 3.
* HeroicSacrifice: She and the Lunar War Servant (Sakuya) are the first of the characters to sacrifice themselves to buy the player time to decipher the Lost Word.
* HealingHands: Even more than buffing crits, THIS is her specialty for sure. Two of her skills heal the entire party for substantial amounts of HP. Her second skill, Frog Supply Unit, heals the entire party for 40% of their maximum HP, and Snake Switch Unit heals them for 70% of their maximum HP.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr1X-tRNkuU Judgement Star]], a remix of Faith is for the Transient People.
* ShedArmorGainSpeed: This is essentially the logic behind this Sanae's Last Word, Divine Full Armor Purge.

[[caption-width-right:350:"I do not need any reason to fight. Even now, I'm still a maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion."]]

Another alternative version of Sakuya Izayoi. Hailing from the same universe as the other Lunar War units, she fights a desperate battle for survival against an incoming Lunarian threat.\\\

Having lost her ability to manipulate time, Sakuya was left as just an ordinary human, but has acquired new equipment to make up for this, meaning she's no less deadly a foe in battle.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Like the other Lunar War Units, her equipment grants her abilities based on other residents of Gensokyo- in this case, her equipment's abilities are almost exclusively taken from the other residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. More specifically, her knives (dubbed 'Cold Knives') are kept at a low temperature through the principles used in ice magic (from Patchouli), an artificial Qigong system based on Meiling's ability to bring her physical abilities on par with what they used to be, various support modules based on the SDM's lesser residents, most notably the hobgoblins, fairy maids, and Tupai (Remilia's pet chupacabra), and lastly, a pair of support units that orbit near Sakuya's head- one has a limited form of precognition, based on Remilia's ability to manipulate fate, and one works to identify a target's weaknesses, based on Flandre's ability to destroy everything.
* AnIcePerson: Her knives are imbued with the principles behind ice magic, and this affords her the ability to inflict Delay with her Spread Shot, Stun with her Focus Shot, or Freeze the enemy's barriers with her Spell Cards (This makes her an excellent partner for Cirno, who can break Frozen barriers).
* BladeSpam: Her Last Word, Cosmopolitan Museum, combines a short barrage of throwing knives with this. There's also Scarred Soul: Soul Sculpture, which performs a barrage of slashes with such ferocity it creates long-range shockwaves.
* FlechetteStorm: Once again, this is Sakuya Izayoi we're talking about, so it's a given. The big one here though is Lightspeed: C. Ricochet, where she throws waves of knives that bounce around at extreme speed.
* GuestStarPartyMember: On a first time playthrough of the normal difficulty of the Hifuu Lost Word Scenario, You of the End, she appears as a guest character alongside the other Lunar War units in Chapter 2, and alongside only the Lunar War Oracle in Chapter 3.
* HeroicSacrifice: She and the Lunar War Oracle (Sanae) are the first of the characters to sacrifice themselves for the sake of buying the player time to decipher the Lost Word.

[[folder: Guardian of the Peace Temple of Modesty and Devotion (Code: Kannagi)]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/201701.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I have come to answer the call of the divine spirits... Wait, is this Gensokyo?!"]]

An alternative version of Watatsuki no Yorihime. Hailing from the EX Scenario of Code B3, she hails from a Lunar Capital that is hounded by effigies of the residents of Gensokyo called Kaiju,and in desperation, she and her comrades summoned a divine spirit through whom the player observes the events of the storyline. She's also known as Kannagi.

* CodeName: In the same vein as the Lunar War cyborgs, the four warriors of the Lunar Capital has codenames. Hers is "Kannagi".
* DualWielding and GunsAkimbo: In her Last Word, Kannagi - Warrior Shrine Maiden, she dual wields her gunblades.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMVa-GpYDCM Filling Lack of the Moon]], a remix of Watatsuki's Spell Card ~ Lunatic Blue, which she shares with her sister.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: This Yorihime's swords are gunblades.
* PlayingWithFire: Her first spell card, Divine Spirit: Hono-Ikazuchi, has primarily Fire breaks, and after the lightning from the sky hits the ground, it erupts into flames- much like how it was in canon when [[Manga/TouhouBougetsushou Yorihime used it against Sakuya]].
* ShockAndAwe: Her first spell card, Divine Spirit: Hono-Ikazuchi, summons lightning from the sky.

[[caption-width-right:350:"It seems you're the one who called for me... that makes you my superior officer until until I return home. I'm looking forward to working with you. ...Huh? That's way too formal?"]]

An alternative version of Reisen Udongein Inaba. The Lunar War combatant with the most military experience owing to her training on the Lunar Capital, she and the other combatants fight a desperate battle for survival against an encroaching Lunarian threat, using technology to make up for their lost powers.\\\

Reisen was arguably the least affected of the combantants, since her abilities that she lost were made up for by her equipment, designed for her by the other residents of Eientei.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Her equipment is largely derived from the abilities of Kaguya and Eirin, as well as their heritage from the moon- and is highly experimental, using biotechnology instead of cybernetics. Her gun is noted to be able to switch between different Lunatic Gun models, she has prosthetic eyes use sensors based on the rovers on the moon, and a neural network that temporarily bestows her with intellect on par with Eirin's.
* GuestStarPartyMember: In a first-time run through of Code B3: You of the End, she appears in Chapters 1 and 4. In Chapter 1, she fights alongside all the other Lunar War units, and in Chapter 4, she fights only alongside the Lunar War Gardener.
* HeroicSacrifice: She, along with Gardener (Youmu) are the second pair of characters to sacrifice themselves to buy time for the player to decipher the Lost Word.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFKmunzYhPk Stop at the Affected Part and Melt Quickly ~ Madness Udongein [Karaoke Ver.]]] ([[MemeticMutation Otherwise known as Overdrive]]), a remix of Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon.
* MoreDakka: Soldier's Last Word, Moon Salvo (Lunatic Full Burst Mode), has her perform this, changing her Lunatic Gun and follow-up unit into twin [[GatlingGood gatling guns]] and shoulder-mountained rocket launchers, respectively. Her description and pre-spell card dialogue show she fires every last bullet she has:
--> '''Reisen (Soldier)''': All weapons are go! Fire all bullets! Save no ammo for later!

[[caption-width-right:350:"Is this the Earth?! Did my ability...? No, that can't be right."]]

An alternative version of Watatsuki no Toyohime. Hailing from the EX Scenario of Code B3, she fights alongside her sister and a couple of other Lunarian survivors in a desperate battle against Kaiju, effigies of residents of Gensokyo. She's also known as Otohime.

* BigEater: Oh yeah. It's even her manner of attack in her first spell card, Dragon Palace: Otohime Banquet.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her staff is a ''gumball machine''.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMVa-GpYDCM Filling Lack of the Moon]], a remix of Watatsuki's Spell Card ~ Lunatic Blue, which is shared with her sister.
* MythologyGag: Her second spell card, Dragon Palace: Tamate Box, is a reference to Mizue no Uranoshimako, otherwise known as Urashima Tarou, an earthling who was spirited away to the Dragon Palace (actually the Lunar Capital), and is more specifically based on the bento box given to him by Otohime (Remember that this Toyohime's codename ''is'' Otohime) which, when opened, aged him to his death instantly. In Touhou lore, the Watatsukis were the ones who looked after Urashima, and Toyohime in particular gave him the cursed bento box.

Universe Classification: B2\\\

An alternative version of Junko. The mastermind behind the Kaiju incident that plagues the Lunar Capital in the EX Scenario of Code B3, who terrorized the Lunar Capital for an as of yet unknown goal.\\\

In spite of her reduced height compared to the original, her grudge and hatred burn as bright as ever. She works together with an alternate version of Reisen with blonde hair, and eventually recruits the divine spirit the player possesses to her side.

* FunSize: Like the Tiny Ghost Mistress, the Nameless Space Terror is positively ''tiny'' compared to her mainline self.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLBHKsgZ9qk Pure Furies [ALR ReMIX]]], [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a remix of Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart]].
* NoSell: She's immune to status ailments. Her temperament also has no elemental weaknesses, meaning it is impossible for enemies to break this Junko's barriers.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Turns out, the Code [=Bm3=] Scenario is some form of battle simulation, but this Junko became a bug in the system and took over.
* StatusEffects: She loves inflicting these and breaking enemy barriers afflicted with them.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: It's heavily implied that Junko is speaking to the player at the end of Code [=Bm3=] (Which makes more sense when you consider that her Ultra Festival came out at around the same time).
* TheUnintelligible: She lapses into a massive rant involving this at one point after getting angry, including speaking in binary of all things (which translated says "Purify").

[[caption-width-right:350:"You there. You thought I was just spacing out, didn't you?"]]

An alternative version of Sagume Kishin that hails from the [=Bm3=] Scenario, same as her compatriots Kannagi and Otohime. Like them, they face a threat to the lunar capital in the form of kaiju, effigies of Gensokyo residents.\\\

She wears a mask to seal away her ability, allowing her to communicate with others without having to worry about having her power kick in and reverse the situation.

* CursedWithAwesome: Obviously it has its limits, but there's a good reason she keeps that mask on, and that's due to her ability to reverse a situation with her words. Even as a divine spirit without her ability she's plenty strong, but her ability is naturally terrifying if used correctly. Azusa's Last Word, Curiosity Probing Eye, even involves her taking off her mask and saying... something (what she says is never heard), which summons forth a giant Yin-Yang Orb drone... that has a big eye in the middle of it.

Universe Classification: B5\\\

An alternative version of Reisen Udongein Inaba who appears in the Code [=Bm3=] Scenario. A Reisen with blonde hair who is allied with the Tiny Space Horror, in spite of coming from a different universe than her. It's hinted in her descriptions that this Reisen never managed to escape from the moon, and thus, when Junko invaded, she was made to fight, and was eventually captured by Junko. Her descriptions even list her as "The Reisen who was taken captive".

An alternative version of Reisen (The Watatsukis' pet, not Reisen Udongein Inaba) who appears in the Code [=Bm3=] Scenario. An assistant to the Lunar Generals including her own masters in Otohime and Kannagi. She's often referred to as "Rabbit 2", not having a particular codename like the lunar leaders.

[[caption-width-right:350:"I am a vampire that specialises in hunting vampire hunters, Flandre Scarlet. If you're not a hunter, you have nothing to fear."]]
Universe Classification: E1\\\

An alternative version of Flandre Scarlet. A Flandre from a slightly different universe than the Remilia of Universe E9, but nonetheless, she fights to protect her sister from the Hunter that seeks to destroy both of them.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Played straight on the surface, as she is protecting her FunSize sister from vampire hunters; however, she is still Remilia's little sister, making this an inversion.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VScDHTqU-_s Forbidden Scarlet Curiosity]], a remix of U.N. Owen Was Her? that, as the name may suggest, is taken straight from another ''Touhou'' fangame, ''Scarlet Curiosity''.

[[caption-width-right:350:"My head hurts... Where am I? Who am I?"]]
Universe Classification: E1\\\

An alternative version of Sakuya Izayoi. Unlike the versions of Sakuya who serve as a maid, this is a potential past Sakuya, shall we say, as she's a Vampire Hunter who's sworn to destroy vampires, such as the E9 Remilia and Flandre. In a case of amnesia, it's one of the only things she can feasibly remember.

* {{Expy}}: It's made most blatant in her Last Word, Imperfect Outsider, but she certainly takes on a vibe similar to the [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Belmonts]]. In said Last Word, she uses knives, axes and poison (The latter of which takes on an effect similar to the Belmonts' Holy Water) and even seals the target in a coffin before the final blow, much like how Simon and Richter do so in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' for their Final Smash.

An alternative version of Hong Meiling. She guards the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion in her home universe, and the primary difference between her and the mainline Meiling is that she takes her job very seriously. She does, after all, have to keep the Hunter out.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4jQO83r0KE Deep in Settlement]], a remix of Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17.

[[caption-width-right:350:"I am Koakuma. I have come in response to thy summons."]]

An alternative version of Koakuma. A demon summoned from Makai, she serves as the familiar and assistant librarian of her world's Patchouli, similarly to how the mainline Koakuma does it.

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Her Spread Shot has her conjure white ravens to attack a foe, while ravens are typically black. Lampshaded by the attack's description:
-->''People say that white ravens don't exist, but here they are! [[GratuitousLatin Quod erat demonstrandum!]]''
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTZEYZBbu8s Voile, the Magic Library]], a remix of the song of the same name from [=EoSD=].
* SelfDuplication: "Magic Sign: Twin Paradox" has her summon two copies of herself, who cast spells from tomes. They converge back after the spell card concludes.

[[caption-width-right:350:"I am Remilia Scarlet. The vampire who lost everything. I am the sole resident of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and I am on a journey to regain my fate."]]
Universe Classification: L80\\\

An alternative version of Remilia Scarlet. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word Incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to regain that which she's lost. Her abilities, her home, her life... and her loved ones.\\\

This Remilia is the game's first Relic Unit, a special type of unit based on various Music Videos that have been posted throughout the game's lifespan. Relic units are stronger than Ultra Festival Units but weaker than Epic units. They can be sparked after 350 pulls, but require a new Relic Paper Disk in order to Limit Break without duplicates.

* BladeOnAStick: Her spear, Gungnir Muspelheim. It contains the essence of the lost residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and Remilia can draw out their power through it, doing so for her Spell Cards and Last Word.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru-xuAZ89ao The Heat of My Fingertips]], a remix of Septette for the Dead Princess. This is a unique instance so far, as the song actually came before the unit, and was made specifically for Touhou [=LostWord=]. Unlike the other Leitmotifs on this page, it links to a non-looping version of the song, as it links to the music video the unit is based on.
* MeaningfulName: Her Spell Cards draw records of the lost residents of the SDM, which is indicated in their name. Her first Spell Card, Scarlet Devil Mansion: Rainbow Gatekeeper & Elegant Maid, is named for Sakuya and Meiling, and summons two bats. One fires yellow bullets based on Meiling's rainbow bullets while the other fires kunai bullets based on Sakuya's knives. Her second spell card, Scarlet Devil Mansion: Spirit Magician and Little Familiar, is named for Patchouli and Koakuma, and summons two bats. One of them shoots fireballs like Patchouli's Agni Shine while the other fires large bullets based on Koakuma's bullet patterns. Her Last Word, Scarlet Sisters, channels the power of Flandre, temporarily transforming her Gungnir Muspelheim into a form resembling Flandre, before she spawns two large energy blades on both ends and spins the spear around to deliver a repeated attack similar to Flandre's Laevateinn before finally throwing the spear akin to her own Spear the Gungnir.
* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted as her Title, The Music Video she's based on, Her {{Leitmotif}}, and a Story Card acquired at her story event in the Ruins of Memory and the L1 Remilia EX stage (Which happens to be the best card for her Last Word) all share the name "The Heat of My Fingertips".

[[folder: Sporadically Margaret]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mvalice.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I've been watching a very long play. That's what it feels like. My name is Alice Margatroid. I have been looking for you, so I can reclaim my dolls and my Gensokyo."]]
Universe Classification: L80\\\

An alternative version of Alice Margatroid. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost: the dolls she can manipulate, and her home in Gensokyo.\\\

She's the game's second Relic Unit, featuring many of the same strengths as L80 Remilia before her, and, like L80 Remilia, being based on a music video.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_h2q2wGwSM Sporadically Margaret]], a remix of Doll Judgement ~ The Girl who Played with Peoples' Shapes. Like with L80 Remilia, the song came before the unit, being the second Touhou [=LostWord=] music video to be made, the first being The Heat of My Fingertips. As such, the link leads to the original music video rather than a looping version of the song.
* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted. Like with L80 Remilia before her, her title, her {{Leitmotif}}, the Music Video she's based on, and a story card acquired at her story event in the Ruins of Memory (which serves as the best card for her Last Word) all share the name "Sporadically Margaret".
* RecycledAnimation: Done in a clever way with her two spell cards. Her first spell card, Black Sign: Marisa Doll of Memories, has Alice send out a doll dressed up in Marisa's clothes, which outright replicates L1 Marisa's two spell cards: first is Love Sign: Master Spark, and second is Love Sign: Non-Directional Laser. Her second Spell Card, Purple Sign: Patchouli Doll of Knowledge, similarly replicates L1 Patchouli's two spell cards with a doll dressed as her: first is Moon Sign: Silent Selene, and second is Sun Sign: Royal Flare.
* ReplacementGoldfish: This version of Alice has lost her usual set of dolls alongside everything else. In their place are FunSize doll replicas of her friends...plus one of herself, who's not brought into battle. The dolls of her friends serve as {{Memory Jar}}s housing essences of the depicted characters. The ones that can be seen in her Last Word are Reimu, Marisa, Yuuka, Patchouli, Mokou, Medicine, Hina and Narumi, with the Marisa and Patchouli dolls also appearing in her regular spell cards.

[[caption-width-right:350:"I am Sakuya Izayoi. I lost my mistress, my fellows, my memories, my ability, and even my home... I was but a pitiful conjurer who had lost everything."]]

An alternate version of Sakuya Izayoi. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her mistress.\\\

She's the game's third Relic unit. Like Remilia and Alice before her, she's based on a music video.

* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiNfVngQvwk "The Moon and Izayoi"]], a remix of The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood. Like with the prior Relic units, the song came before the unit, so the link leads to the original video.
* {{Lunacy}}: Sakuya's Relic story has a scene featuring the Lunarians, and in the POV of one whose name was blanked out, but was said to be "What was once Sakuya". This serves to add fuel to a theory of Sakuya being a Lunarian herself.
* MagicalWeapon: The Silver Blade and Vampire Fang were given sentience by satellites placed by Gengetsu and Mugetsu. Sakuya can sense their thoughts, and compares them to tsukimogami in one of her home screen quotes. The Vampire Fang can even replicate a vampire's bite.
* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted. Her title, her {{Leitmotif}}, the music video she's based on and a story card acquired at her story event in the Ruins of Memory (which serves as the best card for her Last Word) all share the name "The Moon and Izayoi", similarly to the other Relic units.
* ThePowerOfBlood: The red knife carried by this Sakuya replicates a vampire's fang and is made with blood.
* SistineSteal: Her Last Word, Royal Deflation World, features her with a hand out reaching towards Remilia's hand in a manner reminiscent of the classic painting.
* WeaponTwirling: Twirls both her Silver Blade and Vampire Fang in her IdleAnimation.

[[folder: Silver Gale]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/relicmokou.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I'm Fujiwara no Mokou. A phoenix of ash whose flames were extinguished. Death had already been taken from me, but then I lost my immortality... I thought that I had finally gotten the death I had dearly sought, but I was mistaken."]]

An alternative version of Fujiwara no Mokou. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her immortality.\\\

She is the fourth Relic unit in the game, and like the other three before her, she is based on a music video.

* BadassCape: A tattered cloak she names the "Legendary Mantle". On the chapter selection screen, she says that children love it because it makes her looks like a ninja.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW9AqRsNDik "Silver Gale"]], a remix of Reach For The Moon, Immortal Smoke. Like with the prior Relic units, the song came before the unit, so the link leads to the original video.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: In the Ruins of Memory, Mokou stated that her hair used to be black before her newfound powers changed it to white.
* MeaningfulName: Like with L80 Remilia, this Mokou's Spell Cards have names indicating who they are based on. Her first spell card, Bamboo Forest: Lucky Rabbit and Gentle Wolf, summons a rabbit and wolf familiar whose Danmaku patterns mirror those of Tewi Inaba and Kagerou Imaizumi. Her second spell card, Bamboo Forest: Disguised Medicine Seller, also summons a single rabbit familiar who fires out bullets whose danmaku patterns mirror those Reisen Udongein Inaba, with its name referencing Reisen's tendency to enter the Human Village in disguise to sell medicine. Her Last Word, Figure of Hourai's Long Test of Courage, is a reference to the "test of courage" that Kaguya imposed upon the heroines in ''Imperishable Night'''s extra stage, and as such, spawns a rabbit familiar whose patterns evoke Kaguya, and a Hakutaku familiar whose patterns evoke Keine, who fought to protect her from the heroines during the aforementioned "test of courage".
* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted. Like the other Relic units, her title, {{Leitmotif}}, original music video and a story card acquired at her story event in the ruins of memory all share the same title, in this case, "Silver Gale".
* PureMagicBeing: The animals joining Mokou are made of fire. The rabbits represent Tewi and Reisen, the fire rat represents Kaguya, the wolf represents Kagerou, and the hakutaku represents Keine.

An alternative version of Satori Komeiji. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her pets, her sister, and her mind-reading ability.\\

Like the rest of the Relic units before her, this unit is based on a music video.

* TheBackwardsR: The epithet--as well as the title of the song associated with this unit--is styled with a cyrillic R.
* DespairEventHorizon: The Ruins of Memory has a Satori that wants the best for everyone in her domain, and has been past her limit. The voices that enter her mind fearing the end times do not help matters.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qOSXK1Kj64 "NAЯAKA"]], a remix of Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye. Like with the other relic units, the attached link leads to the original music video, created before the unit.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: The Satori found in her Ruins of Memory story wanted to block herself from reading minds when it goes into overflow after hearing countless screams of [[JustBeforeTheEnd the end times approaching]].
* MythologyGag: Koishi is represented by a cat riding a closed satori eye. In the official fighting games, this is the same form Koishi takes while under Mamizou's ForcedTransformation spell card.

An alternative version of Youmu Konpaku. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word Incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her master, Yuyuko.\\

Like the rest of the Relic units before her, this unit is based on a unit video.

Universe Classification: A6\\\

An alternative version of Reimu Hakurei. While she doesn't appear in the story itself, and is a unit based on Reimu's appearance in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil'', there are a few hints that this Reimu isn't quite the one from that game. Most notably in her descriptions, it's noted that in the world this Reimu hails from, She and her Marisa actually ''failed'' to resolve the Scarlet Mist incident, and thus their Gensokyo is still blanketed in scarlet mist. Thus, she and her Marisa can still be considered in training, as her spell cards are experimental, unfinished versions of the ones that the mainline Reimu herself uses.\\\

She's the first unit on this page to not be an Ultra Festival Unit.

* AlternateTimeline: She's from a timeline where the Scarlet Mist incident was never resolved, based on her dialogue and ability descriptions. She and her Marisa kept challenging the SDM residents, but never actually managed to defeat Remilia.
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Her specialty. Amongst her attacks, only two of them DON'T have the Sure-Hit (Always hits regardless of accuracy and evasion) property on any of their bullets: Her Focus Shot, Persuasion Needle (Scarlet), and her Last Word, Experimental Fantasy Nature. Her Spread Shot, Homing Amulet (Scarlet) even has a chance to increase her accuracy, and her second Spell Card, Experimental Sealing Circle reduces the targets' evasion.
* CriticalHitClass: Not to the extent of the Strange Magician (Scarlet), but she's no stranger to utilizing the Killer tag on her attacks. Notably, every last attack has at least one bullet with the Youkai-killer property, though it's most notable with her second Spell Card, Dream Sign: Experimental Sealing Circle, and her Last Word, Experimental Fantasy Nature. Experimental Sealing Circle also reduces the victims' Crit Evasion, making them more likely to take critical hits.
* HolyHandGrenade: Oh yeah. Her Last Word and both of her Spell Cards are holy in nature. It kinda comes with the territory of being a {{Miko}}.
* JackOfAllStats: She doesn't have any real weaknesses. Even though her bulk is inferior to her mainline self she's not fragile by any means, and she hits rather hard too. She's also got some nice team support. In essence, she does a little bit of everything.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RWy7EJ5AQk Girl's Sleeping Song ~ Dream Battle]], a remix of Maiden's Capriccio ~ Dream Battle.
* MythologyGag: Her entire existence is one, right down to her design. This is essentially Reimu as she appeared in ''VideoGame/TouhouKoumakyouTheEmbodimentOfScarletDevil''. Even her Spell Cards, Experimental Fantasy Seal and Experimental Sealing Circle, are references to ''[=EoSD=]''. Specifically, Experiemental Fantasy Seal is based on Reimu-A's bomb in that game, whereas Experimental Sealing Circle is based on Reimu-B's bomb. Only her Last Word, Experimental Fantasy Nature, can be considered an 'original' spell, being a reimagined version of Fantasy Nature, Reimu's Last Word from ''Imperishable Night''.
* SuperPrototype: In spite of her relative inexperience compared to the mainline Reimu, her experimental spells hit a hell of a lot harder than mainline Reimu's do, though in turn she's not got nearly as much defensive prowess.

Universe Classification: A6\\\

Yet another alternative version of Marisa Kirisame. Just like the Eternal Shrine Maiden (Scarlet), she doesn't appear in the story itself, but lore has it that she and her Reimu failed to resolve the Scarlet Mist incident and are still in training. Just like Eternal Shrine Maiden (Scarlet), She's a unit based on a character's retro appearance. In this case, she's based on Marisa's appearance in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''. Unlike her Reimu, she does have a finished version of one of her spells, but her other two are still in testing.\\\

Like the Eternal Shrine Maiden (Scarlet), she's not an Ultra Festival Unit.

* AlternateTimeline: She hails from a world where the Scarlet Mist incident was never resolved, as mentioned by her dialogue and skill descriptions. She and her Reimu tried to stop Remilia, but never actually managed to make a successful attempt.
* CriticalHitClass: This Marisa is all about taking advantage of the innate killer (Always crits against a specified type of enemy) class of bullets that some attacks have. Her spell cards and Last Word all have Youkai and Ghost-Killer (Which is very good as most Touhou characters are youkai and ghosts make up a fair number of the ones who aren't), but she can also reduce targets' Critical Defense (Causing them to take more damage from critical hits) on all enemies, making her combo very well with other Crit or Killer-centric characters, such as Toyohime (who possesses the rare and devastating Gensokyo-Killer on her Last Word), which means she brings both utility and damage to teams focusing on that.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l01BhER_KeQ Starlight]], a remix of Vessel of Stars ~ Casket of Star. Notably, this makes her the first Marisa variant to not have her leitmotif be a remix of Love-Coloured Master Spark.
* MythologyGag: Her entire existence is one, right down to her design. This is essentially Marisa as she appeared in ''VideoGame/TouhouKoumakyouTheEmbodimentOfScarletDevil''. Even her Spell Cards, Stardust Reverie and Proto-Spark, are references to ''[=EoSD=]''. Specifically, Stardust Reverie is based on Marisa-A's bomb, and Proto-Spark is based on Marisa B's bomb. Only her last word, Prototype- Blazing Star can be considered an 'original' spell, being a reimagined version of Blazing Star, Marisa's last word from ''Imperishable Night''. In her introduction, she even references introducing herself as Reimu, which she did in the Extra Stage of ''[=EoSD=]''.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: Prototype- Blazing Star, her last word, is this, given that it's well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a prototype of Blazing Star.]]
* StarPower: Marisa's first spell card, Magic Sign: Stardust Reverie is this, shooting out an omnidirectional barrage of stars.
* SuperPrototype: More blatant with her than Reimu, as the mainline Marisa was a very unfortunate victim of power creep. She blows her mainline self out of the water in both raw offensive might and team utility. She even lampshades it with her pre-cast dialogue for Proto-Spark.
--> '''Marisa ([=EoSD=])''': Sometimes the prototype is more effective. It's not ''that'' unusual, right?
* WaveMotionGun: Love Sign: Proto-Spark is essentially the ''[=EoSD=]'' version of Master Spark.

Universe Classification: A6\\\

An alternative version of Sakuya Izayoi. Hailing from the same world as The Eternal Shrine Maiden (Scarlet) and The Strange Magician (Scarlet), this Sakuya, unlike the other two (Scarlet) units, is actually on the side of the one who caused the Scarlet Mist Incident to begin with. Just like the other two (Scarlet) units, she's essentially a walking MythologyGag, essentially being Sakuya as she appeared in ''Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''.\\\

Like the other two (Scarlet) units, she's a regular festival unit, not an Ultra Festival Unit.

* AlternateTimeline: Her dialogue suggests she's from a world where the Scarlet Mist incident was never resolved. She does mention that Reimu and Marisa tried to stop Remilia repeatedly but failed each time.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: During autumn, one home screen quote has her use her time manipulation to outprank fairies attempting mischief by slipping snacks into their pockets. That kept them at bay for a time.
* FlechetteStorm: It kind of comes with the territory of being Sakuya Izayoi (Who provides the image for the trope's main page). Literally every single one of her attacks does this to some extent. Be it shooting waves that form lines like in both her shots (Spread Shot: Retrievable Knives and Focus Shot: Illusion Actress), coming from above like in Luna Clock, or from all directions like in Manipulating Doll and Deflation World: Carmine.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL7T2XAUDIU Illusion]], a remix of Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial.
* MythologyGag: As mentioned, she's basically Sakuya as she appeared in ''VideoGame/TouhouKoumakyouTheEmbodimentOfScarletDevil''. Her two regular spell cards, Illusion Image: Luna Clock and Maid Secret Skill: Manipulating Doll, are ripped straight from her boss fight in ''[=EoSD=]'' (more specifically, they're based on the Easy/Normal version of the Spell Cards, rather than the Hard/Lunatic versions). It's also mentioned that her Last Word, Deflation World: Carmine, a reimagined version of Sakuya's Last Word from ''Imperishable Night'', Deflation World, should not exist until after the Scarlet Mist incident is resolved.
* PlayingWithFire: Both of her regular spell cards have fire elemental breaks as well, but this is ABSOLUTELY the case with her Last Word, Deflation World: Carmine, which has ''every single bullet'' be Fire Elemental, making her the queen of breaking the barriers of Fire-weak foes.
* TimeMaster: She stops time to place her knives when using Luna Clock or Manipulating Doll.
* SuperPrototype: Much like The Strange Magician (Scarlet), she greatly outclasses her mainline counterpart in spite of nominally splitting earlier in the timeline.

Universe Classification: A8\\\

An alternative version of Reisen Udongein Inaba. Like the (Scarlet) units, she hails from a world trapped in an unresolved incident from canon, but unlike those, the incident her world is trapped in is the Eternal Night Incident and the stolen full moon, which, much like the design of this Reisen, originates in ''Imperishable Night''.\\\

Like the (Scarlet) units, the Lunatic Moon Rabbit (Eternal) is a regular Festival unit, not an Ultra Festival unit.

* AchillesHeel: Just like with the Tiny Ghost Mistress, she gets most of her power from inflicting herself with barrier anomalies (In this case, Blind and Paralyze), so enemies who can break those anomaly types are very bad news for Reisen (Eternal).
* AlternateTimeline: She hails from a timeline where the Eternal Night and stolen full moon were never resolved. It's unclear as to why the incident was never resolved, though.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybByc-NESoc The Twisted Hallway and the Moon Madness]], a remix of both Cinderella Cage ~ Kagome-Kagome and Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon.
* MythologyGag: This is essentially Reisen as she appears in ''VideoGame/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight''. All three of her spell cards, those being Tele-Mesmerism, Invisible Full Moon and Lunatic Red Eyes Remix, all take their origins from ''[=IN=]''. Specifically, Tele-Mesmerism is one of her Easy/Normal Spell Cards, Invisible Full Moon is her Last Spell, and Lunatic Red Eyes Remix is a closer interpretation of the original Lunatic Red Eyes, her Last Word.

Universe Classification: A9\\\

An alternative version of Aya Shameimaru. Like the (Scarlet) units and Lunatic Moon Rabbit (Eternal), she hails from a world trapped in an unresolved incident from canon. Unlike those units, her incident is the off-season blooming incident seen in ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', where this Aya's design originates from.\\\

She's a regular Festival unit, like the other "retro" units.
----
* AlternateTimeline: She hails from a timeline where the Off-season blooming flowers incident was never resolved.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuoKgPUuhOQ Whirlwind Saudade]], a remix of Wind God Girl.
* NonIndicativeName: This Aya's design may come from ''VideoGame/TouhouKaeidzukaPhantasmagoriaOfFlowerView'', as noted by her title, but only her Focus Shot, Extra Fans (Flower) and Spread Shot, Tengu Gale Bullets (Flower) reference ''[=PoFV=]''. Her Last Word, Giant Shellfish of Azaka, is a totally original spell, and her two regular spell cards, Saruta Cross and Terukuni Shining Through Heaven and Earth, are actually from ''Mountain of Faith'' (Specifically, the Hard/Lunatic version of Aya's first spell in that game and the Lunatic version of Aya's fourth and final spell), NOT ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'' (In fact, Aya's two spell cards in ''[=PoFV=]'', those being Wind Sign: Wind God's Fan and Gust: Wind God Girl, are almost totally absent- Wind God Girl is only mentioned in one of her skills).
* SupportPartyMember: While Aya (Flower)'s damage is by no means bad, she's far better when utilized for her support capabilities rather than power. Amongst other things, she can debuff targets' evasion with Saruta Cross, their accuracy and CRIT accuracy with Terukuni Shining Through Heaven and Earth, and Giant Shellfish of Azaka debuffs CRIT evasion. Her Focus Shot, Tengu Gale Bullet (Flower) can debuff opposing accuracy (And Yang DEF if one is willing to spend Spirit Power). She's also got potent elemental breaks and can even inflict 2 layers of Blind on enemies to further debuff their accuracy.

Universe Classification: A7\\\

Yet another alternative version of Youmu Konpaku. Like Aya (Flower), Reisen (Eternal) and the (Scarlet) units, Youmu (Cherry Blossom) is another unit who hails from a world trapped in a past incident, one that was never resolved. She hails from a world where the Spring Snow Incident, seen in ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'', was never resolved- while she never managed to make the Saigyou Ayakashi bloom, her world's Reimu, Marisa and Sakuya never managed to reclaim the stolen spring.\\\

She's yet another regular festival unit, like the other 'retro' units.
----
* AlternateTimeline: She hails from a timeline where the protagonists never managed to resolve the Spring Snow incident. However, this Youmu also never managed to gather enough spring to make the Saigyou Ayakashi bloom, meaning the incident eventually suspended on a stalemate.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu49aIapXdU Perfect Cherry Blossom 2014 V2]], a remix of Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird ~ Till When? and Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple.
* MythologyGag: Like the other retro units. This is essentially Youmu as she appeared in ''VideoGame/TouhouYouyoumuPerfectCherryBlossom''. Her regular spell cards, Heaven God Sword: Three Kons, Seven Hakus and Six Realms Sword: A Single Thought and Infinite Kalpas, are ripped straight from ''[=PCB=]''. Specifically, the former is her final spell as the Stage 5 Boss (specifically on Lunatic difficulty), and the latter is her only spell as the Stage 6 Midboss (on any difficulty). Her only 'original' spell is Matsuyoi-Reflecting Satellite Slash - Distant Flowers, Which is a reimagined version of Youmu's Last Word from ''Imperishable Night'', Matsuyoi-Reflecting Satellite Slash. This is noted as to not supposed to exist at this Youmu's point in time (Similarly to the Last Words of the (Scarlet) units), as Last Words were not a thing until ''Imperishable Night''.

An alternative version of Byakuren Hijiri. Hailing from an alternate universe where she was not defeated by Reimu, Marisa and Sanae, she has not yet set up Myouren Temple in her world, instead looking for a place to create a haven for youkai using the Palanquin Ship.\\\

She, like the other 'retro' units, is a regular festival unit.
----
* AlternateTimeline: This Byakuren was never defeated by her world's Reimu, Marisa and Sanae, meaning she's still seeking a place to settle down using the Palanquin ship, essentially meaning her world's stuck in the 'Treasure Ship' incident.

Her two spell cards, those being Great Magic: Devil's Recitation (which itself is a reprisal of one of Shinki's attacks from ''Mystic Square'') and Superhuman: Byakuren Hijiri, are spell cards she uses in ''[=UFO=]''. Her Focus Shot, Spread Shot and Last Word are originals, though her Last Word has flavor text that links it to Angirasa Veda, Byakuren's Last Word from ''Hopeless Masquerade''.

An alternative version of Cirno. Hailing from the universe eternally trapped in Scarlet Mist is the Ice Fairy Cirno. This version of Cirno is actually stronger than the mainline Cirno was at the time, as she actually takes advantage of the incident, utilizing the Scarlet Mist to make her attacks more powerful.\\\

She is once again a festival unit like the other 'retro' units.
----
* AlternateTimeline: Like the other (Scarlet) units, her timeline is one where the Scarlet Mist incident was never resolved.
* AnIcePerson: In spite of the {{Irony}} involving her access to Fire, this Cirno, like the original one, does still specialise in Freeze barriers. She's better at inflicting them than the original (L1) Cirno is, but in turn she has a harder time breaking Freeze on more than one opponent as her only move that can break Frozen barriers, that being her first spell card, Hail Sign: Hailstorm, is single-target.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being an ice fairy, her Last Word, Permanent Red Ice Fog, has Fire Breaks on it (And moreover, she doesn't actually specialise in Water breaks).
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe_DDJdrwWU Icicle Bomb]], a remix of Beloved Tomboyish Girl.

An alternative version of Alice Margatroid. Hailing from the universe eternally trapped in an unending winter, this Alice, based on some of her flavor text, wants to reclaim the spring that was stolen from Gensokyo, but it's unclear as to her true relation to the incident plaguing the world from whence she came.\\\

She's a festival unit just like the other 'retro' units.

* MythologyGag: As is standard by this point, she's a walking, talking one, essentially being Alice as she appeared during ''VideoGame/TouhouYouyoumuPerfectCherryBlossom''. Her Spell Cards, Puppeteer Sign: Maiden's Bunraku and Malediction: Hanged Hourai Dolls, are both taken from the fight against her as the Stage 3 Boss of ''[=PCB=]''. Her Last Word, Spring Act- The Phantom of the Grand Guignol, is a reimagined version of The Phantom of the Grand Guignol, her Last Word from ''[=IN=]''.
** One of A7 Alice's voices is named "Three and a Half Shrine Maidens". This is referencing a particular line from Reimu's scenario in ''[=PCB=]'', where Alice states that "In the end, shrine maidens are two colors. Your power is only twenty-eight-point-five-seven-one-four percent as powerful as mine" (To those who don't get it, that's 2/7 as a percentage, referencing Reimu's two primary colours of red and white, and Alice's title of Seven-colored Puppeteer.)
** Her voice line for her Hanged Hourai Dolls spellcard references Dolls in Pseudo Paradise, ZUN's first album before the Sealing Club story started, and the common theory that Alice was the culprit behind the murders in the story.

As with all A-type units, she's a Festival unit.
----
* BreakingOldTrends: This Sunny Milk is the first A-Type unit to be based on a character that does not appear in the game their universe is meant to represent, mostly due to the fact that ''Manga/TouhouSangetsusei'' (and by proxy the Light Fairies, Sunny included) [[AnachronismStew did not come into existence until around two and a half years]] after the release of ''VideoGame/TouhouKoumakyouTheEmbodimentOfScarletDevil''. [[note]]To be specific, ''[=EoSD=]'' released in the August of 2002, whereas Eastern and Little Nature Deity, the first ''Touhou Sangetsusei'' work, was first released in the May of 2005.[[/note]]
* BreakTheCutie: When she casts her spell card "Sun Sign: Direct Sunlight", she's despairing that the mist will never lift. Understandable, as she was once a peppy sun-attuned fairy who gets more powerful when the sun's up, and the mist blocks sunlight.
* JanitorImpersonationInfiltration: In EX 2 part 8, the divergent Sakuya (resembling the one from A6) at the nuclear reactor noted a fairy with power of the sun that disguised herself as a maid at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, [[ImpliedTrope implying this to be the case]] for Sunny Milk.
* MythologyGag: Her maid attire is a nod to a manga chapter in which she and her fellow Fairies of Light were working as maids. Aside from that, this is, strangely enough for an A-Type unit, averted.

This is a unique instance so far, as the song actually came before the unit, and was made specifically for Touhou [=LostWord=]. Unlike the other Leitmotifs on this page, it links to a non-looping version of the song, as it links to the music video the unit is based on.
* MeaningfulName: Her Spell Cards draw records of the lost residents of the SDM, which is indicated in their name. Her first Spell Card, Scarlet Devil Mansion: Rainbow Gatekeeper & Elegant Maid, is named for Sakuya and Meiling, and summons two bats. One fires yellow bullets based on Meiling's rainbow bullets while the other fires kunai bullets based on Sakuya's knives. Her second spell card, Scarlet Devil Mansion: Spirit Magician and Little Familiar, is named for Patchouli and Koakuma, and summons two bats. One of them shoots fireballs like Patchouli's Agni Shine while the other fires large bullets based on Koakuma's bullet patterns. Her Last Word, Scarlet Sisters, channels the power of Flandre, temporarily transforming her Gungnir Muspelheim into a form resembling Flandre, before she spawns two large energy blades on both ends and spins the spear around to deliver a repeated attack similar to Flandre's Laevateinn before finally throwing the spear akin to her own Spear the Gungnir.
* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted as her Title, The Music Video she's based on, Her {{Leitmotif}}, and a Story Card acquired at her story event in the Ruins of Memory and the L1 Remilia EX stage (Which happens to be the best card for her Last Word) all share the name "The Heat of My Fingertips".

[[caption-width-right:350:"I've been watching a very long play. That's what it feels like. My name is Alice Margatroid. I have been looking for you, so I can reclaim my dolls and my Gensokyo."]]
Universe Classification: L80\\\

An alternative version of Alice Margatroid. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost: the dolls she can manipulate, and her home in Gensokyo.\\\

She's the game's second Relic Unit, featuring many of the same strengths as L80 Remilia before her, and, like L80 Remilia, being based on a music video.
----
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_h2q2wGwSM Sporadically Margaret]], a remix of Doll Judgement ~ The Girl who Played with Peoples' Shapes. Like with L80 Remilia, the song came before the unit, being the second Touhou [=LostWord=] music video to be made, the first being The Heat of My Fingertips. As such, the link leads to the original music video rather than a looping version of the song.
* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted. Like with L80 Remilia before her, her title, her {{Leitmotif}}, the Music Video she's based on, and a story card acquired at her story event in the Ruins of Memory (which serves as the best card for her Last Word) all share the name "Sporadically Margaret".
* RecycledAnimation: Done in a clever way with her two spell cards. Her first spell card, Black Sign: Marisa Doll of Memories, has Alice send out a doll dressed up in Marisa's clothes, which outright replicates L1 Marisa's two spell cards: first is Love Sign: Master Spark, and second is Love Sign: Non-Directional Laser. Her second Spell Card, Purple Sign: Patchouli Doll of Knowledge, similarly replicates L1 Patchouli's two spell cards with a doll dressed as her: first is Moon Sign: Silent Selene, and second is Sun Sign: Royal Flare.
* ReplacementGoldfish: This version of Alice has lost her usual set of dolls alongside everything else. In their place are FunSize doll replicas of her friends...plus one of herself, who's not brought into battle. The dolls of her friends serve as {{Memory Jar}}s housing essences of the depicted characters. The ones that can be seen in her Last Word are Reimu, Marisa, Yuuka, Patchouli, Mokou, Medicine, Hina and Narumi, with the Marisa and Patchouli dolls also appearing in her regular spell cards.

[[caption-width-right:350:"I am Sakuya Izayoi. I lost my mistress, my fellows, my memories, my ability, and even my home... I was but a pitiful conjurer who had lost everything."]]
Universe Classification: L80\\\

An alternate version of Sakuya Izayoi. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her mistress.\\\

She's the game's third Relic unit. Like Remilia and Alice before her, she's based on a music video.
----
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiNfVngQvwk "The Moon and Izayoi"]], a remix of The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood. Like with the prior Relic units, the song came before the unit, so the link leads to the original video.
* {{Lunacy}}: Sakuya's Relic story has a scene featuring the Lunarians, and in the POV of one whose name was blanked out, but was said to be "What was once Sakuya". This serves to add fuel to a theory of Sakuya being a Lunarian herself.
* MagicalWeapon: The Silver Blade and Vampire Fang were given sentience by satellites placed by Gengetsu and Mugetsu. Sakuya can sense their thoughts, and compares them to tsukimogami in one of her home screen quotes. The Vampire Fang can even replicate a vampire's bite.
* OneSteveLimit: Severely averted. Her title, her {{Leitmotif}}, the music video she's based on and a story card acquired at her story event in the Ruins of Memory (which serves as the best card for her Last Word) all share the name "The Moon and Izayoi", similarly to the other Relic units.
* ThePowerOfBlood: The red knife carried by this Sakuya replicates a vampire's fang and is made with blood.
* SistineSteal: Her Last Word, Royal Deflation World, features her with a hand out reaching towards Remilia's hand in a manner reminiscent of the classic painting.
* WeaponTwirling: Twirls both her Silver Blade and Vampire Fang in her IdleAnimation.

[[caption-width-right:350:"I'm Fujiwara no Mokou. A phoenix of ash whose flames were extinguished. Death had already been taken from me, but then I lost my immortality... I thought that I had finally gotten the death I had dearly sought, but I was mistaken."]]
Universe Classification: L80\\\

An alternative version of Fujiwara no Mokou. Hailing from a universe consumed by the Lost Word incident, she originally lost her existence, but was somehow restored, and is now on a journey to reclaim everything she's lost, including her immortality.\\\

She is the fourth Relic unit in the game, and like the other three before her, she is based on a music video.
----

* PureMagicBeing: The animals joining Mokou are made of fire. The rabbits represent Tewi, Reisen, and Kaguya, while the wolf and hakutaku represent Kagerou and Keine respectively.
