History Characters / TouhouWindowsOne

* EpicFail: On Easy, her Icicle Fall spellcard has a blindspot, and its ''in front of her at point blank''.

* {{Kitsune}}: She's a nine-tailed fox, which are traditionally quite powerful in mythology (almost divine). Presumably this is meant to contrast with her status as a shikigami and make Yukari seem even more threatening. Indeed, it may be hard to remember at times, but Ran is a fully-fledged Extra Boss, placing her in the same general league as Flandre Scarlet, Fujiwara no Mokou, and Suwako Moriya. In fact, Ran is also a Mid-Boss for the only Phantasm-level enemy in the series (Yukari), which technically puts her in a league ''above'' all the others.

* KnifeNut

* CreepyCoolCrosses: Has two attacks that involve creating a giant energy cross from her own body. ''Grimoire of Marisa'' even says that [[FauxSybolism there is really no deep meaning behind it]] as the cross is simply formed due of her spreading her arms while doing the spellcard.

* CreepyCoolCrosses: Has two attacks that involve creating a giant energy cross from her own body.

* BerserkButton: Damaging the Great Hakurei Barrier. Her laziness, her shikigami and the other resident incident resolvers are not excuses for her sit idly by while someone damages Genskoyo's foundation, and she makes the perpetrator knows it. Case and point: her story mode in ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody''. Tenshi's earthquake stunt destroys the Hakurei Shrine and thus damages the Barrier, leading Yukari to go on a manhunt and personally kick Tenshi's behind all the way back to Bhava-Agra. Fanon likes to depict this as a CurbStompBattle.

* OutsideContextVillain: It's saying something when ''[[TheOmniescent Yukari]]'' can't even get the facts right, mistaking Eirin for a Lunarian spy when she's actually a (former) Lunarian ''sage''. More to the point, the magnitude of ''Imperishable Night'''s incident was enough to get Yukari to intervene personally, which is quite a feat.

* CompassionateCritic: While she certainly seems to ''want'' people to be good, her preferred method of encouraging this is to point out all their flaws in great detail.

** Admittedly, she may have been referring to her [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath lectures]]...

* AwakeningTheSleepingGiant: Yukari is mostly content to have Reimu and her shikigami solve most issues, partly due to her odd sleep schedule, partly due to [[TheGodsMustBeLazy just being lazy]]. If something happens that is actively threatening Gensokyo however, Yukari will not hesitate to get involved. Suika, Tenshi, and the Lunarians all learned this the hard way.

* DamageSpongeBoss: A literal case of UpToEleven: Yukari has ''eleven'' heath bars compared to the Extra stage bosses' ten, giving her the distinction of having the most HP of any boss in the series.

** Reaches the logical extreme when she takes on [[spoiler:Marisa again]] in Fairy Wars and ''wins''. Granted [[spoiler:Marisa]] was going easy on Cirno, but dealing ''her'' a nice beating is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome by itself.

* OutsideTheBoxTactic: Being a metaphorical fish in the tank full of sharks that is Gensokyo, she has to rely on these to hold her own.

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Fairy Wars'', where she can 1) freeze the ''enemy's'' bullets, 2) use those frozen bullets as shields, and 3) abuse her ResurrectiveImmortality to keep on fighting. Mind you, Cirno is still right off her rocker if she really believes she's the strongest in Gensokyo, but being able to use these abilities in ways no one else can definitely counts for something. She's also been warned by the Yama that she's already pushing the power limits meant for fairies.

* BerserkButton: Damaging the Great Hakurei Barrier. Her laziness, her shikigami and the other resident incident resolvers will not stop her from personally punishing someone who harms Gensokyo's foundation. Case and point: her story mode in ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody''. Tenshi's earthquake stunt destroys the Hakurei Shrine and thus damages the Barrier, leading Yukari to go on a manhunt and personally kick Tenshi's behind all the way back to the Celestial Plane. Fanon likes to depict this as a CurbStompBattle.

A Lunarian and a genius pharmacist who serves Princess Kaguya. She is the one who created the Hourai Elixir consumed by Kaguya and Mokou, as well as many other miraculous creations. Eirin was an elite member of the moon's ruling class and part of the Lunar envoy sent to retrieve Kaguya, but instead betrayed and killed the other envoys and fled into hiding with Kaguya at Eientei. During the events of ''Imperishable Night'', it was she who stole the moon, by sealing earth itself in a magic chamber, thus preventing the Lunarians from coming to Earth. Subsequently she has opened a pharmacy catering to both humans and youkai.

* BewareTheNiceOnes

* RapunzelHair: At least reaches past her hips and she usually has it in a large braid. However, in the latest chapters of ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'', she has been seen wearing it loose.

* WillfullyWeak: ZUN says she's actually far stronger than Kaguya, but she limits her power out of respect for the princess. Possibly, she's one of the strongest Lunarians, whom are already pretty high on the power scale. She was the teacher to the Watatsuki sisters after all.

* RoseHairedGirl: Though she may not always have been one. According to ''Perfect Memento'', it's said that her current hair and skin colour are paler than when she was alive.

* LegalJailbait: It is extremely common to see fan art of her as a very short girl, especially compared to Komachi. Somewhat confirmed by ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'', with her portrait depicting her as short and almost prepubescent. On the other hand, art of her ingame suggests she's almost as tall as Komachi.

* KatanasAreJustBetter

* {{Bifauxnen}}: A lot of fanart likes to depict her as looking very boyish, to the point where most posts of her on Danbooru get the "reverse trap" tag. In fanon she's often depicted with a personality similar to that of [[RozenMaiden Souseiseki]].
* BoyishShortHair

* WingedHumanoid: The bat wings on her back are a {{fanon}} interpretation. However, she's had a small cameo in ''Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth'' and an even tinier one in ''Strange and Bright Nature Deity'', [[SureWhyNot both including the wings]].

* HeavySleeper: Not as much as Yukari, but she's portrayed as this in fanon. In official works, she only takes a nap in the afternoon.
** The fanon perception of Meiling as being incredibly lazy evolved, [[ValuesDissonance in a slightly convoluted way]], from her CaptainEthnic nature. In Japan, even more so than in America, China has a reputation for producing low-quality merchandise. This led to jokes that Meiling (largely defined in fandom by being Chinese) was another unreliable Chinese product. This in turn led to the idea that what made Meiling unreliable was that she was always sleeping on the job.

** Turns out Tenshi banked on Suika getting as bored of Heaven's pleasures as herself and would leave rather quickly before anyone noticed. Unfortunately for Tenshi, oni have a [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave much higher appreciation for Bhava-Agra's endless feasts]] than she does.

* {{Badass}}: She tore the Celestials a new one so badly that they had to ''give up a chunk of Heaven to her just to make her stop''.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Hates Kaguya enough to steal the Hourai Elixir she gave to the Emperor of Japan and attempt to kill her repeatedly... because Kaguya humiliated her father when he failed to complete her impossible requests for her hand in marriage. Given the traditional Japanese view of family honor this may not be [[ValuesDissonance nearly as unreasonable as it first seems]].

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Fairy Wars'', where she can 1) freeze the ''enemy's'' bullets, 2) use those frozen bullets as shields, and 3) abuse her ResurrectiveImmortality to keep on fighting. Mind you, Cirno is still right off her rocker if she really believes she's the strongest in Gensokyo, but being able to use these abilities in ways no one else can definitely counts for something. She's also been warned by the Yama that she's already pushing the power limits meant for fairies. Should she continue to increase in power, she risks ascending to a Youkai state, allowing her much more brainpower and combat skills - at the cost of her ResurrectiveImmortality.

* AdaptiveAbility: She's been warned by the Yama that she's already pushing the power limits meant for fairies. Should she continue to increase in power, she risks ascending to a Youkai state, allowing her much more brainpower and combat skills - at the cost of her ResurrectiveImmortality.

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: {{Fanon}} sometimes assumes that the stopwatch she carries is a magical artifact that she uses to stop time, usually called the Luna Dial after her theme music "Luna Clock ~ Luna Dial". It is used in ''Hisoutenkou'' as a super move, as possible Ascended Fanon.

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: {{Fanon}} sometimes assumes that the stopwatch she carries is a magical artifact that she uses to stop time, usually called the Luna Dial after her theme music "Luna Clock ~ Luna Dial". It is used in ''Hisoutenkou'' as a super move, as possible AscendedFanon.

* AscendedFanon: Chapter 21 of ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' depicts Sakuya wearing a pinstripe coat and lacy headdress, making her look almost exactly like she does in ''VideoGame/KoumajouDensetsu''.
