History Characters / TouhouOtherOfficialWorks

* VagueAge: Her exact age isn't stated, but since she and Renko are depicted drinking alcohol, they'd have to be at least 20 years old by the time ''Dateless Bar "Old Adam" takes place.

* LudicrousPrecision: Her power is to tell the current time and place down by ludicrous accuracy.

* VagueAge: Her exact age isn't stated, but since she and Maribel are depicted drinking alcohol they'd have to be at least 20 years old by the time ''Dateless Bar "Old Adam" takes place.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name in katakana is spelled "maeriberii haan". Her last name is commonly translated as either Han or Hearn, although considering what ZUN said about Lafcadio Hearn, the latter is more likely. Her first name, on the other hand, nobody is sure how exactly to translate them. Maribel and Maryberry are the closest translations that sound like actual names. Considering [[ShrugOfGod ZUN himself doesn't know how to romanize it]], it's likely intended to merely be a foreign-sounding gibberish.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Starsaphire" was presumably just a misspelling, "Sunnymilk" isn't much of a difference, but "Lunarchild" is trickier, especially since all three fairies tend to call each other by the first part of their names.

* NumberTwo: Discussed, she's part of the Secret Sealing Club and has an active role like Renko's, but whether she's the seccond in command for Renko's leadership, she's actually the leader of the club while Renko just tags along, or if both are "Co-Leaders" is still very much up in the air.

* SignatureHeadgear: A simple, white mobcap without any decorations whatsoever... but, you know, it would look quite good with a thin, red ribbon tied into a lemniscate...

* VagueAge: Her exact age isn't stated, but since she and Renko are depicted drinking alcohol they'd have to be at least 20 years old by the time ''Dateless Bar "Old Adam" takes place.

* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Mizuchi is an escapee from Hell whose title is "The Jailbreak King". She also wears shackles on her wrists plus handcuffs around her neck, and she wears a dress based on a striped prison uniform.

* MysteriousPast: ''Who'' she is and why she wants to exact revenge on the Hakurei Shrine is one of the [[DrivingQuestion Driving Questions]] of the manga. Her family apparently once served at the Hakurei Shrine prior to the founding of Gensokyo but have vanished in the present day with the exception of Mizuchi herself posthumously as a vengeful spirit. Mizuchi herself has alluded to "something" that occurred during Gensokyo's founding that appears to be at the source of her one-sided grudge, but what it is is currently unknown, though Yuugi considers it reason enough to side with Mizuchi.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Unlike so many other villains in the series, she doesn't give a rat's ass about things such as the spellcard rules. She is out to make Reimu's life sour and will use whatever dirty trick she can to make that happen.
* {{Revenge}}: She has some kind of grudge against the Hakurei bloodline with Reimu becoming the target for a revenge over something that happened before she was even born.

The half-youkai, half-human owner of the shop Kourindou, he uses his power to identify strange objects with [[IKnowYourTrueName True Names]] and figure out their function. Thus, his shop deals with objects from outside of Gensokyo that won't be easily identified, like his own oil-burning heater, a UsefulNotes/GameBoy (which he mistook for an ArtifactOfDoom) and various knick-knacks that Marisa gathers from time to time.

* {{Namedar}}: His ability is to recognize the name of an object and its purpose. [[RequiredSecondaryPowers This doesn't come with the instruction manual.]] For example, his ability tells him that an [=iPod=] is capable of "storing and playing a lot of music", but it doesn't tell him ''how'' to store or play anything, and he doesn't know how to use a computer correctly anyway.[[note]]He thinks they're shikigami since they short out in water.[[/note]] And because it neglected to tell him that the people it controls and the worlds it can create or destroy are imaginary, he thought that a UsefulNotes/GameBoy was an ArtifactOfDoom.

* FallenHero: Her family used to serve at the Hakurei Shrine prior to the creation of Gensokyo itself and presumably was involved in youkai extermination with the Hakureis. By the time of present day, she's been reduced to a mischevious vengeful spirit with a bone to pick with the current Hakurei Shrine maiden, Reimu, and major displeasure at the current state of efforts in Gensokyo.

* ImposterForgotOneDetail: Mizuchi doesn't seem to have access to the memories of whomever she is possessing, meaning that she runs into problems when trying to impersonate people with particular sets of skills, such as Nitori, as she has no idea how kappa technology works. Byakuren uses this to determine who Mizuchi was currently possessing at that moment by faking unconsciousness and observing her follower's reactions.[[note]]At that point in the story, her currently possessed body is Kyouko[[/note]].

* MysteriousPast: ''Who'' she is and why she wants to exact revenge on the Hakurei Shrine is one of the [[DrivingQuestion Driving Questions]] of the manga. Her family apparently once served at the Hakurei Shrine prior to the founding of Gensokyo but have vanished in the present day with the exception of Mizuchi herself posthumously as a vengeful spirit. Mizuchi herself has alluded to "something" that occurred during Gensokyo's founding that appears to be at the source of her one-sided grudge but what it is is currently unknown.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Unlike so many other villains in the series, she doesn't give a rats ass about things such as the spellcard rules. She is out to make Reimu's life sour and will use whatever dirty trick she can to make that happen.

* FilchingFoodForFun: The first thing it does is to steal melons to try becoming a complete youkai.

* KilledOffForReal: Killed by Marisa only a few pages after its introduction, and she subsequently stomps on the the shoe several more times to prevent it from coming back.

* AnimateInanimateObject: While it looks vaguely like a badger, it's a shoe tsukumogami, which makes it an ambulatory object-based youkai.

A shoe {{Tsukumogami}} who was born from one of Kosuzu Motoori's shoes, taking the form of [[AnimalisticAbomination a smoke-like animal]].

[[folder:Unnamed Kutsutsura]]

::'''Unnamed Kutsutsura'''

A shoe {{Tsukumogami}} who was born from one of Kosuzu Motoori's shoes; it was released as a [[AnimalisticAbomination smoke-like animal]] and after it started moving on its own, it tried becoming a complete youkai by stealing melons from the Human Village, before being stopped and exterminated by Marisa Kirisame.

It has the dubious honour of being the first character to die, fully on-screen, no less, in the the Franchise/TouhouProject's current era.

* AmbiguousGender: Despite being in a world with an ImprobablyFemaleCast, its gender is a mystery (it's probably a [[MenAreTheExpendableGender male]], though.)
* AnimalisticAbomination: It's a shoe {{Yokai}}, vaguely looking like a four-legged animal.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Technically counts as it is a shoe tsukumogami.
* CurbStompBattle: Shortly after appearing, it is attacked by being [[GoombaStomp stomped on]] multiple times by Marisa Kirisame, with little-to-no resistance.
* CuteMonsterGirl: {{Averted|Trope}}. Despite being a youkai, it looks like a four-legged animal. This could've been played straight had it became a complete youkai before its death.
* FilchingFoodForFun: Well, [[NightmareFuel not exactly for fun]], but the first thing it does is to steal melons and try to become a complete youkai.
* GoombaStomp: Multiple times by Marisa.
* KilledOffForReal: Killed by Marisa only a few pages after its introduction, and she subsequently stomped the shoe several more times to prevent it from coming back.
* NoNameGiven: Only referred to as "Kutsutsura".
* OneSceneWonder: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Despite being a OneShotCharacter, it isn't very popular, and actually got ''last place'' '''multiple times''' in Touhou popularity polls.
* SacrificialLamb: Only exists to showcase how AnyoneCanDie in the mangas.

* AnimateInanimateObject: Technically counts as it is a shoe youkai.

* KilledOffForReal: Killed by Marisa only a few pages after its introduction, and she subsequently stomped the shoe even more times to prevent it from coming back.

A shoe {{Tsukumogami}} who was born from one of Kosuzu Motoori's shoes; it was released as a [[AnimalisticAbomination smoke-like animal]] and stealed melons from the Human Village.

W.I.P.

* FinalBoss: Of ''VideoGame/YouseiDaisensouTouhouSangetsusei''. Yes, [[WolfpackBoss all three at once]].

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Literally. The beginning of Chapter 22 has her develop a fear of snakes after reading a story about a snake that ate an entire human. The end of the following chapter sees her offer a [[ItMakesSenseInContext giant stuffed slug doll]] to a Moriya branch shrine to ward off snakes.

* NonActionGuy: Despite his half-human, half-youkai nature, he doesn't seem to be any tougher than a regular human[[note]]Though he is [[InformedAbility apparently resistant to both human and youkai diseases]].[[/note]], and he admits that he's unable to do anything rough. Lampshaded by Marisa and Reimu, who wonder how he managed to live so long without knowing how to handle himself.
