History Characters / TouhouPC98

* AGodIAmNot: Contemplates about becoming a Shinto god in her ''Mystic Square'' good ending, but decides to take it easy and goes to bother Reimu instead.

* {{Lunacy}}: In her ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'' ending, she wished that the Full Moon will always be in the sky so that she will be at full power at all times. Yumemi grants it a little too literally, by placing a moon in geosynchronous orbit.

* EyeBeams: She attacks with beams from her eyes at one point.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: K-S Romanization is Mugetu.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The K-S Romanization is Gengetu.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Could well be intended to be Louise.

* NoNameGiven: Her name is never actually seen in-game. In the cutscenes, she's just "???" The only time she has a name is in the game's internal code, its omake, and ''Mystic Square'''s Extra Stage staff roll.

* SinisterScythe: Wields a scythe in her bossfight and is opposed to Reimu and Marisa.

* MoreDakka: Though not as brutal as her sister's, her timeout danmaku are hard. You can see them [[https://youtu.be/EC2K9hbP3e8?t=1m20s Here]]

* NoNameGiven: Her name is taken from the game's coding. In the cutscenes, she's just "???" Whether she [[NeverGivenAName has no name]] or is just unnamed in the story is unclear. Her name is properly revealed in the staff roll displayed after beating the extra mode of Mystic Square.

* AbonormalAmmo: She shoots ''kanji''. Specifically, the kanji 呪, meaning curse.

* OneUp: Drops a life when defeated the second time.

* KingMook: It's more or less a stronger version of the winged evil eye enemies that appear throughout the game.

* OneUp: Drops a life when defeated.

* TankGoodness: It's a big flying tank, and Reimu's toughest opponent in this game.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Most of the other characters react with intrigue or confusion in their MirrorMatch victory quotes. Kotohime's only comment, however, is "Oh dear, it's me".

* EscapedFromHell: In her debut, she's fought at a hokora in Hell, with the implication that she was sealed in said hokora and broke out. In subsequent games, she's at large throughout Gensokyo and neighboring worlds rather than back [[SealedEvilInACan inside her seal]] in Hell.

* CardboardPrison: She has escaped sealing at least twice, once before fighting Reimu in the first game, and again after losing to her in the second game (likely three times, if we assume Reimu sealed her back in the hokora after the fight in the first game). The fact Mima keeps hanging around the shrine and pestering Reimu in the third and fifth games suggests that either she keeps getting sealed and escaping, or Reimu stopped bothering because she figured there's no way to restrain her for very long.

Between 1996 and 1998, the first five games in the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series were made for the NEC UsefulNotes/PC98 computer by a doujin circle known as Amusement Makers, of which ZUN was a part.

* PromotedToPlayable: She serves as one of the bosses in the first [[VideoGame game]][[labelnote:namely]]in the Jigoku route as she's not encountered in the Makai one[[/labelnote]] and, in the second game, she's the FinalBoss. During the rest of her appearances in the UsefulNotes/PC98 era, however, she's one of the PlayerCharacters.

* WillfullyWeak: She never fights at her full strength, because she's afraid of what it might mean if she lost while going all out. This idea is often connected to the fact that she carries a grimoire that she's never been seen opening since her UsefulNotes/PC98 appearance.

* RightManInTheWrongPlace: Her route in ''PoFV'' is only because random people kept running into her and accusing her of starting the whole Incident. Her response is a SureLetsGoWithThat.

* TheDreaded: Far and away one of the most feared youkai in Gensokyo.
* FaceOfAThug: Eyewitnesses' accounts on Yuuka's article in ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' revolve around her doing ordinary activities (such as chatting with flower shop owners, visiting the shrine, or smiling at villager in a flower garden)... Only to intimidate everyone with her mere presence.

* VerbalTic: Ends most of her sentences with "ze," a tic that end up being heavily associated with Marisa in the Windows games. Apparently a ShoutOut.

* VerbalTic: Ends most of her sentences with "ze." Apparently a ShoutOut.

* DemotedToExtra: Hit '''hard''' by this. Alice was the Extra Boss in her debut game, as well as one of the most prominent characters in the series during the original Windows trilogy, appearing not just as the Stage 3 boss of ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'', but also Marisa's partner in ''Imperishable Night'', a member of the playable roster in ''Immaterial and Missing Power'', and a recurring character in print works, putting her roughly on the same level as the likes of Remilia, Yuyuko, and Yukari. After the SoftReboot in ''Mountain of Faith'', however, her prominence dwindled rapidly, and after appearing as one of Marisa's shot options in ''Subterranean Animism'' and as Cirno's final boss in ''Hisoutensoku'', she was eventually relegated to a rarely appearing and mentioned background character with no significant role. As of 2022, she has yet to have had a speaking part since ''2009.''

* MindOverMatter: Her ability to hurl floor tiles and throw her scythe like a boomerang could be explained by some form of telekinesis.

* WorfHadTheFlu: She claims this is the case when the player character presses her into admitting she lost to the playable character you didn't pick (who got to Mugenkan first), saying she hadn't fought in a long time, which would imply her to be out of practice as a result. Of course, since she has never been seen at the top of her game, it's impossible to know whether she could have defeated the main characters had she been in her prime.

* BadLiar: Likely PlayedForLaughs. If you're playing as Marisa, Elly tries and fails to lie to her that she defeated Reimu. The fact she greatly sweats while claiming this probably didn't help.

* NonindicativeName: Yuki means "snow". She uses fire.

* DemotedToExtra: After her return in Windows. She debuted in ''Lotus Land Story'' as the final boss who had to be fought two stages in a row, and then was PromotedToPlayable in ''Mystic Square''. At this point in time, she was so prominent a character she even made it into [[VideoGame/{{Seihou}} Kioh Gyoku]] as a GuestFighter. After the leap to Windows, she wasn't seen again until ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', where she was part of the roster and a late game boss, still presenting her as an important character as a result. However, she has only made background cameos in print works and in the fighting games ever since, not even getting to appear in any of the scene games.

* AttackReflector: She has this in ''Mystic Square''.

* DemotedToExtra: Hit '''hard''' by this. Alice was one of the most prominent characters in the series during the original Windows trilogy, appearing not just as the Stage 3 boss of ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'', but also Marisa's partner in ''Imperishable Night'', a member of the playable roster in ''Immaterial and Missing Power'', and a recurring character in print works, putting her roughly on the same level as the likes of Remilia, Yuyuko, and Yukari.

As of 2022, she has yet to have had a speaking part since ''2009.''

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Originally, she had a more childish appearance and her dress had a different design. She also now sports a red headband, which she didn't wear in her debut.

* FlunkyBoss: Is generally this due to her dolls. She does [[AvertedTrope avert]] it in her Extra Boss fight, where she relies entirely on her grimoire.
