5	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Eirin. Callous, coldhearted MadScientist who doesn't give a damn about the consequences of her unethical experiments? Or genuinely good person who acts cold and distant because she is utterly broken by the knowledge of [[GoneHorriblyWrong the consequences of her misguided curiosity]]?
6	* BaseBreakingCharacter: Yukari. Some fans will take any chance to bash her for her reckless and authoritarian behavior and general hypocrisy, as well as the shitty way she treats everyone else. Granted, it's not exactly undeserved, but some take it more personal than others. The author himself acknowledged that he didn't anticipate such a strong reaction.
7	%%* CreepyAwesome: ''Yuuka. Kazami.''.
8	* HilariousInHindsight: The presence of a blue-haired mermaid here (as mentioned under TheCameo) predates Double Dealing Character and [[Characters/TouhouProject Wakasagihime]].
9	* IronWoobie:
10	** [[spoiler:Rin Satsuki]]. Underneath a mostly cheerful and heavily unstable exterior lies a past full of pain, abandonment, abuse, and, more recently, everyone on the list of [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the "big names" of Gensokyo]] trying to kill her. Her only "friend" is her youkai companion who in return really dislikes her. No wonder that she snaps after the BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind. [[spoiler: Plus, Kirin society very literally considers her mere ''existence'' as an abomination, simply on account of being an ''unplanned child''.]]
11	** Kotohime qualifies, because she has the disadvantage of being a mere human trying to do her job and has to deal on a daily base with monsters, lack of recognition and problems in general. And she still doesn't give up.
12	* JerkassWoobie: Cirno may have been a bully and a prankster at the beginning of the story (as well as plenty of years before that), but damn can you not help but feel bad for her after getting beaten up so much, mainly by Marisa and then Yukari, and all that happened to poor Rumia which starts up the plot. The rest of her gang may count too.
13	* LesYay: Being a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fanfiction, it's almost required to at least have hints of this, such as Marisa's frequent sex jokes, or [[{{Bifauxnen}} Wriggle]] being mistaken for Mystia's lover, or Rumia admiring Kaguya and Mokou's bodies, or Yuuka's... ''affection'' towards Wriggle, or [[spoiler:the Shadow Youkai threatening to rape Reisen as part of a ToThePain speech.]]
14	** And how can we forget this phrase Yukari said to Yuyuko:
15	---> '''Yukari''': ''[as Yuyuko carries her in her arms after a fight]'': You...do realize...this doesn't mean...we're going steady.
16	** It's also discussed InUniverse. For example, there are some... rumors... about the relationship between Marisa and Alice.
17	---> "If anything, [Reimu] hoped that those two would move beyond subtext and make official such a relationship. Threatening to tell Alice whenever Marisa started to get out of line would at least make it easier to control her."
18	** And how could we possibly forget Rin and Rumia's InnocentInnuendo-laden conversations?
19	--->'''Rumia''': ''Nuh-nuh! Every time [[MindProbe you stick your fingers in me]], bad things happen!''
20	** Nue also admits that she [[spoiler:went after Rin not for the bounty, but]] just to protect Byakuren. Oh, and that she loves her, too.
21	* MisaimedFandom: Yuuka in-universe is a monster, but some readers gladly overlook some of her [[BreakTheCutie most]] [[ForTheEvulz villainous]] [[RapeAsDrama acts]], because, among the main villains, she's still the one who gets the most (if not the only one) PetTheDog moments. Of course, they may have some [[CrazyIsCool other reasons]].
22	* NotBadassEnoughForFans: Rin suffers from this. She has received a few criticisms for being a weak character, but it must be considered that she resisted to the psychological attacks of the Shadow Youkai (to which, if she had broken down, Gensokyo would probably be no more) and always tries to find a solution.
23	* ShockingMoments: From the spin-off ''Touhous IN SPACE'', [[spoiler:Yuugi being launched out of a cannon, into the cold vacuum of space, right through a magma barrier and ''punching Yukari's flagship in half'', surviving the whole ordeal. '''All while not spilling a single drop of sake from her bowl.''']]
24	%%* TearJerker
