In the coastal Japanese city of Gensoutou, OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Koishi Komeiji has been living alone for the last few months (apart from her pet cat and raven) since her sister Satori vanished without a trace. Bullied and lonely, when she hears a rumour about an abandoned shrine that grants wishes, she begs for someone strong and brave to look after her. Instead a [[MineralMacGuffin strange jewel]] materialises out of thin air, and she's attacked by FishPeople only to be saved by a talking dolphin. The dolphin tells Koishi to squeeze the jewel, and she defeats the fishmen by transforming into the [[MagicalGirl "Siren"]] Dolphin Rider Koishi. Back at her apartment the now-human dolphin explains that she is a youkai, and a junior member of a human-protecting organisation called the Order of the White Pearl. Koishi and the dolphin (named Sango) must find the remaining six Sirens before the White Pearl's enemies, the Children of the Black Claw, can use their powers for evil.

In the coastal Japanese city of Gensoutou, OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Koishi Komeiji has been living alone for the last few months (apart from her pet cat and raven) since her sister Satori vanished without a trace. Bullied and lonely, when she hears a rumour about an abandoned shrine that grants wishes, she begs for someone strong and brave to look after her. Instead a [[MineralMacGuffin strange jewel]] materialises out of thin air, and she's attacked by FishPeople only to be saved by a talking dolphin. The dolphin tells Koishi to squeeze the jewel, and she defeats the fishmen by transforming into the [[MagicalGirl "Siren"]] Dolphin Rider Koishi. Back at her apartment the now-human dolphin explains that she is a youkai, and a junior member of a human-protecting organisation called the Order of the White Pearl. Koishi and the dolphin (named Sango) must find the remaining six Sirens before the White Pearl's enemies, the Children of the Black Claw, can use their powers for evil.
Along the way Koishi ends up as a sort of WarriorTherapist, recruiting Sirens and curing MonstersOfTheWeek by forcing them to confront their psychological issues.

See ''{{Touhou}}'' for tropes carried over from canon.
!!Tropes in ''FanFic/DolphinRiderKoishi'' include:
* AdaptationalVillainy: Rinnosuke Morichika goes from eccentric shopkeeper to [[TheDon ruthless mob boss]]. Also [[OriginalCharacter Jozu]], who was far more timid in the (unrelated) fic she debuted in.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Being an UrbanFantasy setting, most characters have more mundane hair colours than they did in the source material, [[PowerDyesYourHair except when they're using magic]]. The first sign of Koishi's magical potential is that she can catch glimpses of characters' "magic hair".
* AlternateUniverseFic
* AmnesiacHero: Sakuya [[spoiler:aka Miyo "Myon" Konpaku]]
* ActuallyNotAVampire: Remilia and Flandre actually suffer from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeroderma_pigmentosum Xeroderma pigmentosum]], though Remilia pretends to be a vampire as a coping mechanism ([[IJustWantToBeNormal Flandre does not]]).
* ADayInTheLimelight: While most of the Windows and PC-98 cast appear to exist in some form, the protagonist is Koishi, who has never been a playable character. Reimu only shows up for a cameo, and Marisa has not appeared.
* AmoralAttorney: Reimu
* AngstAversion: Patchouli would like to have a few choice words with anyone who insists that TrueArtIsAngsty.
* ArtificialGill: The "Rings of Breath".
* AtlantisIsBoring: Averted. Youkai society is dominated by sea-dwellers due to their greater population and lower need to hide from humans.
* TheAtoner: Nitori, for her role in creating The Ravager.
* AuthorAppeal: The writer is rather fond of the aquatic.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: This is essentially Koishi's power.
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:After pretending to be Youki for so long, Youmu is reluctant to go back.]]
* BloodyMurder[=/=]CastFromHitPoints: The latent powers of [[spoiler:the Scarlet family.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Characters affected by the Mindcoils.

* DiscoDan: Iku
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Meiling
* DumbBlonde: Sakuya [[ExploitedTrope exploits this]] by dying her hair to [[ObfuscatingStupidity seem less suspicious]].
* EnergyAbsorption: [[spoiler:Mokou]] can absorb magical attacks, [[ChargedAttack which acts as a power source for her stronger abilities]].
* EpiphanyTherapy: Most characters have some kind of psychological issue they must overcome before they can use their powers or be cured of a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Mindcoil]].
* {{Escapism}}: Flandre and Patchouli have a secret love of MagicalGirl manga for this reason.
* EverybodyHatesMathematics
* EveryoneIsASuper: Everyone ''[[HereThereWereDragons was]]'' a super. See HeroicSacrifice.
* FakeAmerican: Sakuya
* FantasticFightingStyle: Flowing Tide (a soft style used by the White Pearl), and Crashing Wave (a hard style used by the Black Claw).
* FishOutOfWater: Sango is a near-literal example, being a dolphin with limited knowledge of human customs.
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Kaguya's father, who expects her to be a brilliant pharmacist.
* FreudianExcuse: Tewi became a compulsive liar from having to lie to herself.
-->''Mama’s just sleeping Papa didn’t do anything to her''
* TheGambler: Sakuya
* GlamourFailure: Most youkai [[LittleBitBeastly retain some traits of their animal selves in human form]], such as Sango's dorsal fin, which they must hide by conventional means.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Koishi gets some glasses which [[PowerLimiter block her ability to see the magic world]]. Later she upgrades to contacts which can be turned off at will.
* GoneHorriblyRight: When the youkai were losing their ancient war against humanity their last resort was to unleash [[UltimateLifeform Project 046, aka The Ravager]], a creature which single-handedly defeated the armies of mankind. [[OhCrap And then didn't stop.]]
* GratuitousFrench: [[spoiler:Sakuya]]'s transformation phrase.
* HealthcareMotivation: Sakuya has spent years trying to find a cure for the Scarlets' XP, [[IRejectYourReality despite it being a genetic condition and inherently incurable]].
* TheHeart: Koishi
* HereThereWereDragons
* HeroicSacrifice: In the backstory, [[SealedEvilInACan sealing The Ravager]] required the human race to [[HereThereWereDragons sacrifice its knowledge of magic]], and Yukari Yakumo to sacrifice her life.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Mokou trained Cirno to defend herself from bullies, but she ended up becoming the leader of the bullies.
* HeroicAlbino: Remilia and Flandre. Technically it's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeroderma_pigmentosum Xeroderma pigmentosum]] rather than albinism, but the effect is similar.
* HumansAreAverage: Humans' magic powers are generally weaker than those of youkai, but far more varied.
* HumansAreFlawed
* HowDoIShotWeb: [[spoiler:Sakuya and Komachi]] (and possibly Koishi) were initially using their powers subconsciously, unaware that they had them.
* IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou: Mokou's health food tastes disgusting.
* IfJesusThenAliens: After running into so many youkai, Koishi immediately believes Remilia when she claims to be a vampire. [[ActuallyNotAVampire Sango has to inform her that vampires don't exist.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Flandre. Her inability to accept her [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeroderma_pigmentosum XP]] is her form of "madness" in this universe.
* IllGirl: The Scarlet sisters.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: The Sirens tend to do this involuntarily while transformed, much to their confusion.
* InvisibleToNormals: Everyone has a "magical appearance" which most people can't see.
* IRejectYourReality: Multiple characters have this issue, most notably Tewi.
* IrrationalHatred: Mokou.
-->It hurt. It hurt like hell. She didn't care, she just wanted this thought to go away. The more she looked at that face, the less Kaguya looked like a heartless monster, and the more she looked like [[WellDoneSonGuy a stupid girl who made a stupid choice to win over her daddy]].
-->She didn't want Kaguya to have an explanation. Explanations meant she'd need to accept that she had a reason for screwing her over beyond being a heartless bitch, and then she'd have to let the grudge go. But forgiveness was hard, so much harder than just staying angry.
* IsItSomethingYouEat: "...What's a haiku? Sounds like a nice topping to me."
* KarmaHoudini: Rinnosuke literally gets away with murder, by [[EveryManHasHisPrice bribing]] or discrediting everyone connected to any charge brought against him. He's not a VillainWithGoodPublicity; everyone knows he's TheDon, they just can't do anything about it.
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:Eiki while controlled by the Mindcoil]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Curing [[BrainwashedAndCrazy the victim of a Mindcoil]] leaves them with only a general recollection of their actions, erasing any information on magic. The White Pearl can also create this effect on purpose.
* LightHairedSwimmer: Koishi and Sango are the characters who spend the most time in water, and both have silver hair at all times.
* LittleMissConArtist: Tewi
* LockedIntoStrangeness: The reason for Koishi's silver hair.
* MagicalGirlWarrior
* TheMasquerade: Maintained in order to [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters prevent humans from destroying themselves through magical warfare]].
* MineralMacGuffin: The Tidal Teardrops.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Humans who have been brainwashed by the Black Claw, and given Black Keys ([[{{Nasuverse}} not that kind]]) which let them transform into a OneWingedAngel.
* {{Mooks}}: The [[FishPeople fishmen]] who explode into fish when killed.
* MundaneUtility: [[TimeStandsStill Stopping time]] is quite useful [[CardSharp when gambling]].
* NearDeathExperience: Can partially awaken a person's latent magic powers. Koishi had one of these in her backstory, with the side effects of closing her third eye ([[RePower causing her powers to mutate]]) and [[LockedIntoStrangeness turning her hair silver]].
* NextEpisodePreview[=/=]{{Omake}}: Faithfully recreated from its MagicalGirl anime inspirations.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:Sakuya and Komachi.]]
* OpenHeartDentistry: Patchouli is a geneticist, but accepted a probably-misinformed request to work as the Scarlets' obstetrician because it payed well (and her own poor health made it hard to find work in her actual field).
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* OriginalCharacters: Sango Tororetsu and Jozu Manou, dolphin and shark youkai respectively, both of whom debuted in non-AU fic by the same author (though Jozu's personality is quite different).
* PhantomZone: Watery ones are used by magic-users for duels.
* PlayboyBunny: Koishi and her allies are forced to dress up like this to infiltrate a casino.
* PlayfulHacker: "Princess" Kotohime.
* PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher: Keine

* [[PowerDyesYourHair Power Dyes Your Hair To The Color It Had In Canon]]
* PowerStrainBlackout: [[spoiler:Flandre after manifesting Laevateinn.]]

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Koishi, in regards to Sango.
* ShroudedInMyth: Yukari Yakumo. Even her species was a mystery.

* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Koishi's power lets her communicate telepathically with youkai, regardless of form.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ZUN's inconsistent spelling of Flandre/Frandle/Frandoll Scarlet is referenced.
-->Nitori typed in the name lazily. They had to settle for the family name, Scarlet, mainly because all of them found the name Flandre so foreign they had no clue how to spell it.
* SpyFromWeightsAndMeasures: Nitori runs numerous service organisations as fronts for the White Pearl, allowing her to infiltrate agents into almost any location or private event. The Black Claw does similarly.
* StepfordSmiler: Kaguya
* StockAnimalDiet: Being a dolphin, Sango greatly prefers fish (particularly mackerel) to all other foods and will often extol its virtues.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: All humans have latent magic powers which can be guessed from their heritage.
* TakeAThirdOption: When someone is Mindcoiled, normally the choice is to leave them BrainwashedAndCrazy or [[MercyKill kill them]]. Koishi instead chooses to engage in a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind to destroy the Mindcoil. [[spoiler:Though Nitori believes that attempting this on the wrong person could get Koishi killed.]]
* TeenGenius: Mokou, but only when it comes to chemistry or biology.
* ThereAreNoTherapists
* ThisIsMyNameOnForeign: As a FakeAmerican, Sakuya Izayoi [[hottip:*:Sakuya meaning ''"flowering night"'' and Izayoi meaning ''"sixteenth night [of the month]"'']] uses the pseudonym "Luna Fullerton".

You’re telling me that you’d rather I had to go through a lockpicking charm every time I wanted to get in here after hours? Jeez, and you say that I’m crazy."

* FishOutOfWater: Sango is a near-literal example, being a dolphin with limited knowledge of human customs.
* FollowInMyFootsteps: Kaguya's father, who expects her to be a brilliant pharmacist.
* FreudianExcuse: Tewi became a compulsive liar from having to lie to herself.
-->''Mama’s just sleeping Papa didn’t do anything to her''
* TheGambler: Sakuya
* GlamourFailure: Most youkai [[LittleBitBeastly retain some traits of their animal selves in human form]], such as Sango's dorsal fin, which they must hide by conventional means.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Koishi gets some glasses which [[PowerLimiter block her ability to see the magic world]]. Later she upgrades to contacts which can be turned off at will.
* GoneHorriblyRight: When the youkai were losing their ancient war against humanity their last resort was to unleash [[UltimateLifeform Project 046, aka The Ravager]], a creature which single-handedly defeated the armies of mankind. [[OhCrap And then didn't stop.]]
* GratuitousFrench: [[spoiler:Sakuya]]'s transformation phrase.
* HealthcareMotivation: Sakuya has spent years trying to find a cure for the Scarlets' XP, [[IRejectYourReality despite it being a genetic condition and inherently incurable]].
* TheHeart: Koishi
* HereThereWereDragons
* HeroicSacrifice: In the backstory, [[SealedEvilInACan sealing The Ravager]] required the human race to [[HereThereWereDragons sacrifice its knowledge of magic]], and Yukari Yakumo to sacrifice her life.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Mokou trained Cirno to defend herself from bullies, but she ended up becoming the leader of the bullies.
* HeroicAlbino: Remilia and Flandre. Technically it's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeroderma_pigmentosum Xeroderma pigmentosum]] rather than albinism, but the effect is similar.
* HumansAreAverage: Humans' magic powers are generally weaker than those of youkai, but far more varied.
* HumansAreFlawed
* HowDoIShotWeb: [[spoiler:Sakuya and Komachi]] (and possibly Koishi) were initially using their powers subconsciously, unaware that they had them.
* IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou: Mokou's health food tastes disgusting.
* IfJesusThenAliens: After running into so many youkai, Koishi immediately believes Remilia when she claims to be a vampire. [[ActuallyNotAVampire Sango has to inform her that vampires don't exist.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Flandre. Her inability to accept her [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeroderma_pigmentosum XP]] is her form of "madness" in this universe.
* IllGirl: The Scarlet sisters.
* InTheNameOfTheMoon: The Sirens tend to do this involuntarily while transformed, much to their confusion.
* InvisibleToNormals: Everyone has a "magical appearance" which most people can't see.
* IRejectYourReality: Multiple characters have this issue, most notably Tewi.
* IrrationalHatred: Mokou.
-->It hurt. It hurt like hell. She didn't care, she just wanted this thought to go away. The more she looked at that face, the less Kaguya looked like a heartless monster, and the more she looked like [[WellDoneSonGuy a stupid girl who made a stupid choice to win over her daddy]].
-->She didn't want Kaguya to have an explanation. Explanations meant she'd need to accept that she had a reason for screwing her over beyond being a heartless bitch, and then she'd have to let the grudge go. But forgiveness was hard, so much harder than just staying angry.
* IsItSomethingYouEat: "...What's a haiku? Sounds like a nice topping to me."
* KarmaHoudini: Rinnosuke literally gets away with murder, by [[EveryManHasHisPrice bribing]] or discrediting everyone connected to any charge brought against him. He's not a VillainWithGoodPublicity; everyone knows he's TheDon, they just can't do anything about it.
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:Eiki while controlled by the Mindcoil]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Curing [[BrainwashedAndCrazy the victim of a Mindcoil]] leaves them with only a general recollection of their actions, erasing any information on magic. The White Pearl can also create this effect on purpose.
* LightHairedSwimmer: Koishi and Sango are the characters who spend the most time in water, and both have silver hair at all times.
* LittleMissConArtist: Tewi
* LockedIntoStrangeness: The reason for Koishi's silver hair.
* MagicalGirlWarrior
* TheMasquerade: Maintained in order to [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters prevent humans from destroying themselves through magical warfare]].
* MineralMacGuffin: The Tidal Teardrops.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Humans who have been brainwashed by the Black Claw, and given Black Keys ([[{{Nasuverse}} not that kind]]) which let them transform into a OneWingedAngel.
* {{Mooks}}: The [[FishPeople fishmen]] who explode into fish when killed.
* MundaneUtility: [[TimeStandsStill Stopping time]] is quite useful [[CardSharp when gambling]].
* NearDeathExperience: Can partially awaken a person's latent magic powers. Koishi had one of these in her backstory, with the side effects of closing her third eye ([[RePower causing her powers to mutate]]) and [[LockedIntoStrangeness turning her hair silver]].
* NextEpisodePreview[=/=]{{Omake}}: Faithfully recreated from its MagicalGirl anime inspirations.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:Sakuya and Komachi.]]
* OpenHeartDentistry: Patchouli is a geneticist, but accepted a probably-misinformed request to work as the Scarlets' obstetrician because it payed well (and her own poor health made it hard to find work in her actual field).
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* OriginalCharacters: Sango Tororetsu and Jozu Manou, dolphin and shark youkai respectively, both of whom debuted in non-AU fic by the same author (though Jozu's personality is quite different).
* PhantomZone: Watery ones are used by magic-users for duels.
* PlayboyBunny: Koishi and her allies are forced to dress up like this to infiltrate a casino.
* PlayfulHacker: "Princess" Kotohime.
* PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher: Keine
* PotHole: Freqently used to link to pictures, [[VirtualSoundtrack background music]] or [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife trope pages]].
* [[PowerDyesYourHair Power Dyes Your Hair To The Color It Had In Canon]]
* PowerStrainBlackout: [[spoiler:Flandre after manifesting Laevateinn.]]
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Jozu, the race in question being "shark". Sango to a lesser extent.
* RankInflation: Nitori has a confusing set of power ranks for magic-users which includes "B", "S+" and "XS+++".
* RefusalOfTheCall
* RenaissanceMan: "Kawashiro Nitori. Physics professor. Magical cult leader. Bartender...?"
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:After her son Youki's death, Yuyuko forced Youmu to disguise herself as him.]]
* RousseauWasRight
* SelfDuplication: Tewi's latent power.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Koishi, in regards to Sango.
* ShroudedInMyth: Yukari Yakumo. Even her species was a mystery.
* SingleIssuePsychology: Played straight by most characters, though Sakuya has at least two unrelated issues.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Koishi's power lets her communicate telepathically with youkai, regardless of form.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ZUN's inconsistent spelling of Flandre/Frandle/Frandoll Scarlet is referenced.
-->Nitori typed in the name lazily. They had to settle for the family name, Scarlet, mainly because all of them found the name Flandre so foreign they had no clue how to spell it.
* SpyFromWeightsAndMeasures: Nitori runs numerous service organisations as fronts for the White Pearl, allowing her to infiltrate agents into almost any location or private event. The Black Claw does similarly.
* StepfordSmiler: Kaguya
* StockAnimalDiet: Being a dolphin, Sango greatly prefers fish (particularly mackerel) to all other foods and will often extol its virtues.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: All humans have latent magic powers which can be guessed from their heritage.
* TakeAThirdOption: When someone is Mindcoiled, normally the choice is to leave them BrainwashedAndCrazy or [[MercyKill kill them]]. Koishi instead chooses to engage in a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind to destroy the Mindcoil. [[spoiler:Though Nitori believes that attempting this on the wrong person could get Koishi killed.]]
* TeenGenius: Mokou, but only when it comes to chemistry or biology.
* ThereAreNoTherapists
* ThisIsMyNameOnForeign: As a FakeAmerican, Sakuya Izayoi [[hottip:*:Sakuya meaning ''"flowering night"'' and Izayoi meaning ''"sixteenth night [of the month]"'']] uses the pseudonym "Luna Fullerton".
* UtilityMagic: Exists, but isn't used much.
-->"Koishi-san, let me get this straight. You humans have invented a system that lets you cut spare keys to any door. No fuss, no pizazz, no evidence. You’re telling me that you’d rather I had to go through a lockpicking charm every time I wanted to get in here after hours? Jeez, and you say that I’m crazy."
* VerbalTic: Sango has one, phwee~. [[JustifiedTrope She actually does it on purpose as a form of magic sonar]], and drops it when not needed.
* VirtualSoundtrack
* WarriorTherapist: Koishi.
* WaterIsAir: "And of course, all of this was fire was being lit underwater. Sometimes Koishi wished magic could at least make the tiniest bit of sense."
* WeaponOfChoice
** ProngsOfPoseidon[=/=]WhipItGood: Koishi
** BareFistedMonk: [[spoiler:Mokou]]
** DeathDealer: [[spoiler:Sakuya]]
** HandCannon: [[spoiler:Komachi]]
** [[spoiler:DualWielding: Youmu]]
* WebSerialNovel
* WeirdnessCensor: See HeroicSacrifice.
-->"And what's life like in the real world? Well, imagine [[EveryoneIsASuper everyone you ever knew had some sort of superpower or magical ability]]. Everyone in your class is some sort of {{magical girl}}, and they all look like it as well - [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair crazy hair]], [[TechnicolorEyes weird eye colours]], and in your case [[ThirdEye an extra eye on top of the two you've already got]]. But again, no-one realises it, so all of that magic just goes to waste."
* WellDoneSonGuy: Kaguya's father has very high expectations of her which she struggles to live up to. The Kaguya/Mokou feud actually started when she stole from Mokou to please him, and Kaguya is implied to feel extremely guilty about it.
* WorthyOpponent: Jozu to Sango.
* YouCanSeeMe: [[spoiler:Youki Saigyouji]]
