3	[[folder:Ayumu Shinjo]]
4	The protagonist of the story, a five-tailed fox from Tokyo who moves to Gensokyo and takes up residence with the Moriya. He specializes in illusions, intrigue, and diplomacy.
5
6	* ActionSurvivor
7	* AnimalEyes: He is a fox spirit, so fox pupils can show up when he's revealing his true nature.
8	* AscendedMeme: Doomfox, Ayumu's nickname, started as a joke between the writer and the readers. Eventually, Akyuu calls him this, as does Sanae.
9	* BadassFingerSnap: Makes use of this when calling up illusions or fire.
10	* BadassInANiceSuit: He's not as strong as the Moriya, but a five-tailed kitsune is no small power. He just has to get clever about it.
11	* BarbieDollAnatomy: Ayumu's battle fox form, intentional as he does not want an extra vulnerability on him.
12	* BigBrotherInstinct: Regularly looks out for sister figures.
13	* BornUnlucky: He is unnaturally unlucky. Quantifiably so even. After Hina removes his misfortune, in the form of a tiny black star, about a week later Ayumu and Sanae return to purge their misfortune. Sanae hasn't had her misfortune removed recently, and she only produces a faint miasma of misfortune when drained. Ayumu only produces a miasma too, ''but it's twice as much as Sanae's.''
14	* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: With Sanae.
15	* BrokenBird: [[spoiler:The destruction of his home, the slaughter of his family, and his little sister dying in his arm broke him. Then he spent the next centuries hiding who he was, and never speaking a word of what happened to anyone.]]
16	* ButtMonkey: Ayumu’s nickname is Doomfox, because despite the best efforts of everyone he keeps almost dying.
17	* {{Catchphrase}}: Something ominous/worrying/interesting happens. "Neat."
18	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Ayumu, as is his nature as a Quest driven OC.
19	* TheChewToy: Ayumu's regular suffering is one of the qualities that endears him to the audience.
20	* CosmicPlaything: Ayumu believes life is out to get him. Evidence indicates this may be true.
21	** Yukari implies this may have been true for his entire clan.
22	* CunningLikeAFox: Ayumu is a Kitsune. It comes with the territory.
23	* DarkAndTroubledPast: See BrokenBird entry.
24	* DarkIsNotEvil: Ayumu likes his dark suits and is a pretty decent guy, provided you aren't try to kill him.
25	* DeadpanSnarker: Preferred form of humor. Occasionally branches into ServileSnarker and SnarkToSnarkCombat.
26	* DeathByAThousandCuts: [[spoiler: How Ayumu's Last Word works, defeating a foe by a barrage of reviving undead foxes.]][[spoiler: No longer true as of Thread Two: Chapter 5.9]]
27	* DespairEventHorizon: Nearly crosses it [[spoiler:when he thinks the Moriya, and Sanae specifically, are rejecting him.]]
28	* DreamWalker: Starting during his first night in Gensokyo, Ayumu has the ability to wander into the dreams of others.
29	** He can do his under his own power, but he needs to be touching a person to do so.
30	* DreamWeaver: Ayumu uses this a few times, while wandering the dreams of others.
31	* TheEeyore: An exceptionally hard working example that doesn't try to bring everyone else down. Still, one of his main personality traits is his inability to feel happiness, or at least [[UnreliableNarrator inability to recognize his own happiness]]. [[ThrowTheDogABone He does get periods of rest, and a few brighter moments]]. [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Mostly due to Sanae]].
32	--> '''Sanae:''' I will be getting you a birthday present… once I figure out if you have anything you actually enjoy in life!
33	* TheFace: His specialty is diplomacy and intrigue.
34	* FamilyMan: Over the course of the story, becomes completely loyal to the Moriya.
35	--> '''Suwako:''' Ah may talk like a hick but ah’m no fool. Ah know you mean us no harm, ah know you would never harm us, ah’ve seen far too much proof otherwise.
36	* FearlessFool: This combined with his politeness makes him rather charming to the various top tier powers of the realm.
37	* FemaleGaze: Ayumu got some when he answered the door to his hotel room, [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]] and showing his burns and scars.
38	** Suwako says he's not much to look at...implying she ''has'' looked.
39	* GuileHero: Ayumu's primary method for conflict resolution. He prefers to solve problems by not fighting at all, but if he must fight, he prefers use trickery or his allies to achieve victory.
40	* {{Invisibility}}: Something only the greatest of illusionists can achieve. Ayumu is one of them, although he needs to be very familiar with his environment to use it spontaneously.
41	** One of his spellcards, ''Forgotten Beast'', allows him to use this anywhere. It's the best invisibility spellcard Suwako's ever seen, and muffles the sounds he makes. [[spoiler:It also makes divine energy vanish, so despite Ayumu being their shinshi that they should be able to locate at all times, they can't detect him while he's right next to them.]]
42	** Ayumu can be detected by footsteps along the ground, or by rain giving away his outline.
43	* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Once Ayumu discovers the entire Continuation of Past Tragedies incident was masterminded by the same people who massacred his clan, it becomes this.]]
44	* ItWasAGift: Ayumu's ring is a gift from his father. [[spoiler:It is also a TragicKeepsake.]]
45	* KillItWithFire: As a Kitsune, Ayumu can use foxfire in combat, though he tends to avoid doing so due to trauma.
46	* KnightInSourArmor: More depressed and subdued that sour and snarky, but he fits. He fights for people, not causes.
47	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Ayumu has a tendency to not notice or care about grievous injuries to himself.
48	* ManlyTears: Ayumu has cried exactly twice in the story.
49	** The first is [[spoiler:over his sister’s dead body]].
50	** The second is when [[spoiler:Yukari reveals that she avenged his clan long ago. She hugs him from behind so she can't see him, and even then he covers it up with an illusion.]]
51	* MasterOfDisguise: A combination of illusions, shapeshifting, and social wiles are very good for this.
52	** He can even use his illusions to disguise others.
53	* MasterOfIllusion: The Shinjo clan specialty.
54	* MrExposition: Serves as this occasionally, usually when bring other characters up to date. Having a PhotographicMemory and being a MasterOfIllusion also helps speed things along.
55	* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:When his family was massacred, the best he could do was run away and bring his wounded sister to safety. Then she died in his arms.]]
56	* NotAfraidToDie: [[spoiler: He's not actively suicidal, but the Moriya do describe him as having a deathwish.]]
57	* PartialTransformation: Can do partial transformations of his full fox form to access specific abilities.
58	* PhotographicMemory: He has one, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers implied to be due to his heritage and/or training as an illusionist]].
59	** It also means he recalls his DarkAndTroubledPast with perfect clarity.
60	* PowerCopying: When Ayumu enters someone else's dream, he can wake up with a copy of their spellcard, albeit at much reduced power.
61	* [[PowerMakesYourHairGrow Power Makes A Tail Grow]]: When kitsune get old enough, or gather enough power, they grow a new tail until they reach nine tails. Once they reach nine tails, they lose a tail every hundred years or after sufficient power, until they are left with one tail and become a Tenko.
62	** [[spoiler: Ayumu goes from a five-tail to a six-tail the night the Moriya defeat Danjuro and free the fox village.]]
63	* PowerTattoo: Gets one of [[spoiler:a snake winding around his forearm with a frog popping out of the mouth when he becomes the Moriya's Shinshi]].
64	** [[PowerGlows It glows]] when Ayumu is the recipient of faith.
65	* Really700YearsOld: Or 487 as the case may be.
66	** 488 after [=CoPT=].
67	* RepressedMemories: Avoids remembering his past. Considering his PhotographicMemory means it will never dull with the passing of time, he has good reason.
68	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Ayumu and Sanae, although Kanako and Suwako can also fit the dynamic.
69	* StepfordSnarker: Usually polite and reserved, as well as a pleasant conversationalist, he does use snark to conceal how he really feels.
70	* SharpDressedMan
71	* SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: He is this to Sanae, when he's in fox form.
72	* StaffOfAuthority: Ayumu gets one. Kanako teaches him to [[MartialArtsStaff pummel people with it,]] [[TrainingFromHell by pummeling him.]] When not in use, [[MorphWeapon he wears it as a bracelet]].
73	* TheStoic: On the talkative side, but steady in demeanor.
74	* SummonBiggerFish: One of his favorite strategies when the situation allows it.
75	* SurvivorsGuilt: One of his defining traits. [[spoiler:Primarily because his village was attacked and massacred, while he ran with his injured little sister Akiya while injured mother covered his escape. Later Akiya died in his arms.]]
76	* TallDarkAndSnarky: Subverted. Ayumu is tall, dark, and snarky, but he has no arrorgance or pride in himself, nor does he ever refer to those around him as idiots.
77	** He is quite possibly [[MasterOfIllusion the best illusionist in Gensokyo]] and an experienced Diplomancer, he does have qualities worth taking pride in. He just lacks ego.
78	* ThinkNothingOfIt: His response to the Moriya after they mention how far he's going for them.
79	* ThrowTheDogABone: Every once in a while, the universe cuts him a break.
80	* TookALevelInBadass: Ayumu also goes from being casually smacked around by Suwako in his first fight, to fighting Sanae on his own terms. [[spoiler:And ''winning.'']]
81	** [[spoiler:Notably, he won by trickery and when Sanae was very inexperienced in fighting tricksters. He would not fair as well in a rematch.]]
82	* TrainingFromHell: His trainers are two proud war goddesses and their daughter. Hellish is the standard, not the exception.
83	* TheTrickster: Ayumu. He tends to avoid combat when possible, but when forced...
84	--> '''Suwako:''' Yer really one for trickery and area of denial ain’t ya?
85	--> '''Kanako:''' Your spellcards are extensions of yourself, it wouldn’t be wrong to say you choose to stay out of an upfront encounter almost completely… and you use others for direct combat.
86	* TricksterMentor: To Sanae during their sparring match.
87	* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:When Danjuro taunts him with the murder of Ayumu's clan.]]
88	* UnreliableNarrator: Ayumu can mostly be trusted to be accurate in what he perceives and recalls, but not on the subject of himself. What he recalls is also limited by how much he is repressing at a given time.
89	* WeaponizedLandmark: [[PowerCopying Has acquired the ability to use Kanako's Onbashira]], but she needs to make them specifically for him.
90	* YouRemindMeOfX: Said to Sanae, who reminds Ayumu of [[spoiler:Akiya, his little sister.]]
91
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder:Sanae Kochiya]]
95	The great and beautiful wind maiden, Kanako and Suwako's daughter. She has a cheerful and upbeat attitude towards life, even when it's kicking her while she's down. She's very happy to be in Gensokyo where her mothers are healthy and active again.
96
97	* BearHug: Sanae likes handing these out. Moriya Shrine is appropriately wearing of receiving them.
98	* BeQuietNudge: Sanae uses this on Ayumu. Usually with her elbow.
99	* BluffTheImpostor: Pulls this on [[ConsummateLiar Ayumu]], when he's disguised as Kanako and playing a prank on her.
100	--> '''Sanae:''' ''is cowering hiding her face beneath arms'' I’m sorry Lady Kanako! Please don't tie me to the top of the shrine again!
101	--> '''Ayumu:''' Kanako... did what?
102	--> '''Sanae:''' ''[[{{Corpsing}} starts silently laughing]]''
103	--> '''Ayumu:''' ''Oh dammit [[NotAgain not twice]].''
104	* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: With Ayumu.
105	* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can’t Hold Her Liquor]]: Although it might only apply to tengu and oni liquor.
106	* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Arguably. She is a living goddess, although she identifies as a miko.
107	* {{Determinator}}
108	* HumongousMecha: Sanae is a fan of them. She had a major nerd moment when she got to check out Alice's Goliath doll in its lab, which resembles a mecha hanger.
109	* HybridPower: Sanae is human, but descended from Suwako's divine lineage and raised by two goddesses. Her powers use faith and produce miracles, yet unlike her mothers she doesn't go unconscious when she runs out of power. She also seems to regenerate energy naturally, without being dependent on worshippers.
110	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Ayumu.
111	* MeaningfulName: Sanae's family name. Kochiya was the name of one of the best shrine maidens the Moriya ever had.
112	* {{Miko}}: Her current profession and what [[FamilyBusiness she always wanted to grow up as]].
113	* ParentalAbandonment: Sanae, as a baby, in December.
114	** Whoever left her was a worshipper of the Moriya. They prayed and provided a substantial amount of faith.
115	* PluckyGirl
116	* SacredBowAndArrows: Sanae has a set. Since moving to Gensokyo and discovering her talent for magic, she hasn't had cause to use it.
117	* SharedFamilyQuirks: With Suwako. Both [[BeQuietNudge elbow people in the sides]].
118	* SummonBiggerFish: Has spellcards that invoke Kanako and Suwako's power. Sanae is skilled enough to summon her goddesses outright.
119	* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Sanae is descended from Suwako, a goddess.
120	* SymbolMotifClothing: Sanae and her frog/snake accessoires or her apron with frog and snake patterns.
121	* WeatherManipulation: Sanae can do this to bring rain to farmers.
122	* WhiteMage: Healing isn't the extent of her abilities, but it's one of her most useful and marketable skills.
123	* WindIsGreen: Sanae the wind maiden has [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience green hair]].
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Kanako Yasaka]]
127	Goddess of War and Heaven, the once Ruler of Yamato. She rules Moriya Shrine with Suwako and is mother to Sanae. Kanako's pride is at once a source of strength and her FatalFlaw. Her actions in''Subterranean Animism'' has led to the underground severing ties with the Moriya, putting the shrine in hard times. Despite setbacks, she still works towards Moriya Shrine's glory and success.
128
129	%%* ActionMom
130	* AGodAmI: Kanako was a born a human, and ascended to divinity. To this day she still makes a point to impress her divinity upon other people. [[LargeHam She even uses an overly dramatic speech to greet Ayumu for the first time]]. She gives another dramatic speech, to much more appropriate effect, while leading the assault on the Inverted Castle.
131	* AnimalEyes: Her pupils are slitted like a [[AnimalMotif snake's]].
132	* ArrangedMarriage: Married once for political reasons.
133	* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: How Kanako took over Suwako's shrine.
134	* BadassBoast: Kanako's bread and butter.
135	* [[BashBrothers Bash Sisters]]: With Suwako.
136	* BigDamnHeroes: Kanako, [[spoiler:when Danjuro is getting ready to kill Ayumu and Suwako.]]
137	* BigEater: Kanako eats half a cow at one point.
138	* TheBlacksmith: She enjoys smithing her own weapons. She even has a ForgingScene.
139	* BloodKnight: She loves a good fight. She's certainly not the only one, but she's exceptional in how much she lives for it. When she doesn't have much to do, she sleeps. She tells Sanae it's maintaining her warrior's edge. Presumably she either relives past battles, or is keeping her focus from being dulled by boredom.
140	* CoolSword: Kanako has them. She used to have more, but they were lost in various ways through the years.
141	* DefrostingIceQueen: Very, ''very'' slowly.
142	* {{Determinator}}: Kanako does not accept defeat, even in a contest as petty as [[GoKartingWithBowser Mario Kart]]. Even when she loses, she only resolves to come back and win the next time.
143	%%* DeityOfHumanOrigin
144	* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: When Ayumu disguises himself in Kanako's form, Kanako takes the opportunity to admire herself.
145	* EmpathicEnvironment: The weather responds to Kanako's mood, at least when she's wielding Inazuma. It, and the discussion of her past, imply Kanako is NotSoStoic.
146	* ForgedByTheGods: Anything Kanako crafts is this by default.
147	* GodCouple: Averted with Suwako. Kanako and Suwako are just best friends here.
148	** Kanako did marry another god for [[ArrangedMarriage political purposes]].
149	* GodEmperor: Even after losing her kingdom, it’s still a notable part of her personality.
150	* GoKartingWithBowser: Almost literally. Kanako and Suwako will compete in almost anything, and Mario Kart is a regular contest between them.
151	* HellishPupils: Red eyes slitted like a [[AnimalMotif snake's]].
152	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Suwako. They even adopted a child together.
153	* ICallItVera
154	** Averted with her primary sword, which is so far nameless. Kanako describes it as enough to defeat any foe she has met.
155	** Played straight with Inazuma. One of the finest blades Kanako has made, and has the powers of [[ShockAndAwe a storm]].
156	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her Onbashira.
157	** The Moriya have an arsenal of standard and unusual weapons. Kanako knows how to use everything except the rings.
158	* IronLady: Kanako wasn't ''born'' royalty, but she did become GodEmperor. In all other regards she fits this trope.
159	* InsultOfEndearment: Suwako's nickname for [[StatuesqueStunner Kanako]] is Beanpole.
160	* JapaneseSpirit: Kanako, former Ruler of Yamato, embodies this. She has is never gives up or admits defeat (Seishin), she is absolutely implacable in her convictions (Chie), and went from a normal human to an existence surpassing Suwako, on top of an overabundance of Seishin and Chie (Koyū).
161	%%* LadyOfWar
162	* LargeHam: "I bid thee welcome to the Moriya shrine, rejoice and be merry for your long journey is over!" It returns for her RousingSpeech at the end of DDC.
163	* LettingHerHairDown: Contrary to her normal appearance, it turns out she does keep her hair long. She just has a ribbon that keeps it in a BagOfHolding, and when it's [[ShakingHerHairLoose removed, a waterfall of hair is revealed]]. When her hair is long, she seems to favor a TomboyishPonytail.
164	* LightningBruiser: Kanako is fast, powerful, and durable. One of the strongest frontline combatants around.
165	* MasterSwordsman: Kanako knows how to use many weapons, but swords are her specialty.
166	%%* PhysicalGod
167	* RedEyesTakeWarning: In canon, Kanako is the antagonist for ''Mountain of Faith'' and its FinalBoss. She also caused the ''Subterranean Animism'' incident. In this story, she still did all of these things, [[RedIsHeroic but now she's on the protagonist's side]].
168	* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Suwako's Blue. Kanako primarily wears red, and is shown to prefer taking a direct approach to solving problems. This can be seen by her opening a siege with her Onbashira being used as battering rams, or confronting Ayumu over suspicions.
169	* RedIsViolent: She has red eyes, her garb of office is red, and she is an open BloodKnight.
170	* RousingSpeech: When leading the assault on the Inverted Castle.
171	* SerpentOfImmortality: One of her themes. She reinvents herself in order to remain relevant and immortal. [[spoiler:She describes leaving her human self, Mume, behind as her apotheosis.]]
172	* SleepModeSize: Implied to happen when she sleeps, and Suwako can claim the majority of their power. [[spoiler:When Kanako overuses her powers, she reverts to chibi form. She makes a point to avoid being seen like this.]]
173	* StatuesqueStunner: Kanako is 6'2 according to WordOfGod.
174	* TinyTyrannicalGirl: According to Sanae, Kanako was forced to stay in her smaller form after arriving in Gensokyo and would stand on a box when she needed to order anyone around.
175	* TookALevelInBadass: This is Kanako's origin story.
176	* WarIsHell: [[spoiler:When Kanako was human, she was a soldier fighting against Suwako and her army on a bloody battlefield. This memory haunts Kanako's dreams, even in the present day.]]
177	* {{Tsundere}}:
178	** Of the aloof, reserved type until her gentler side is coaxed out. Usually by Sanae, occasionally by Ayumu.
179	** Occasionally the denial variety of {{Tsundere}}, at least in the past. She insists she wants to keep Sanae because Sanae is her last source of faith, yet uses her limited supply of faith [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals to make Sanae a plush snake to cuddle with]].
180	* WeaponizedLandmark: Kanako's Onbashira. She plants them on the mountain as symbols of herself, but she can also telekinetically control them and use them as projectiles. That is her opening assault on the Inverted Castle.
181	* WeatherManipulation: Kanako uses this to call up a storm to make illusions ineffective. She also uses it [[ShockAndAwe strike her enemies with lightning]], [[MeanBoss and occasionally to encourage allies]].
182
183	[[/folder]]
184
185	[[folder:Suwako Moriya]]
186	Goddess of Curses and Earth, born of Suwa's desire for a goddess, she commands the Mishaguji and is mother to Sanae. Moriya Shrine originally belonged to Suwako. Though Kanako now rules it, Suwako still considers it her shrine and is capable of many feats that Kanako is not while on home ground. She provides most of the divine services Moriya offers and prior to Ayumu's recruitment served as TheFace.
187
188	* ActionMom
189	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Delivers one to Ayumu, [[spoiler:calling him out on hiding his past from the Moriya despite having sworn his life to them, and asking him to tell them what happened]].
190	* ArrangedMarriage: Has been married a few times, never for love.
191	* [[BashBrothers Bash Sisters]]: With Kanako.
192	* BeQuietNudge: Used to Ayumu to get him to stop talking to Meiling. Apparently Sanae gets it from her mom.
193	* BloodKnight: Not ''quite'' as much as Kanako, but still very combat happy. She has a more ruthless and vicious approach than Kanako.
194	* {{Curse}}: One of her main domains.
195	* DisproportionateRetribution: She is a ''Curse'' Goddess. She knows a lot of unpleasant ways to kill someone, [[FateWorseThanDeath or make them wish for death]].
196	** At one point Suwako [[ExternalRetcon tells a story from her own history]], based on RealLife mythology.
197	--->'''Ayumu:''' So let me get this straight…you were insulted by Ganigawara… did nothing, then let Kanako handle it? A direct insult?
198	--->'''Suwako:''' Ya. For the most part. I gave her a rather… interestin’ arrow to deal with him though.
199	--->'''Ayumu:''' I figured being a deity that you’d take insults such as that rather personally. I mean, I knew you had just lost a good chunk of your powerbase in the war… but shooting up your house is a bit much.
200	--->'''Suwako:''' I was busy rebuilding’ I just let Kanako handle it by giving her one of my special arrows. I had a kingdom to rebuild, technically mine or not.
201	--->'''Ayumu:''' What kind of arrow was it?
202	--->'''Suwako:''' Oh,one of my favorites! Was made using good iron, along with some particularly delicious substances from a few plants and frogs. The idea was it made every pain receptor on your body light up like a damned new years celebration. Ah used a herb that prevented sleep, blackouts, and any form of painkiller from working either. Best part was as a god he was static, he couldn’t get rid of the damn poison as it affected his very being! Didn’t give ‘em the antidote until he begged for forgiveness a couple weeks later, and sent some of his daughters for political marriage. Was a rather good turn around for a few arrows at my house.
203	--->'''Ayumu:''' ''[[CaptainObvious … Right, don’t tick off the curse goddess.]]''
204	* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: Averted. When Ayumu disguises himself in Suwako's form and imitates her speech, Suwako finds it creepy. Notably, Suwako who has [[SelfDuplication cloning powers]] and most likely finds copies that are not her unsettling.
205	* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Curse Goddesses Have Standards]]: Even whe Moriya is hard up for faith and followers, Suwako still doesn't like showing herself in the Human Village. They tend to ask her for curses on people who have wronged them, and she just doesn't want to get involved.
206	* ForgedByTheGods: Anything Suwako crafts is this by default.
207	* GeniusLoci: Suwako is one. When she says Moriya Shrine is her shrine, she doesn't just that it's where she lives or is enshrined. She ''is'' the shrine.
208	** Sanae notes that she never had any secrets from her mothers because of this.
209	** This aspect of Suwako also leads to some jokes about her beeing ThePeepingTom.
210	* GlowingEyes: Her eyes glow softly when she's in her adult form, [[PowerGlows signifying her increased power]].
211	* GodCouple: Averted. Kanako and Suwako are just best friends here.
212	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Kanako. They even adopted a child together.
213	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her iron rings.
214	* InstantSedation: Has a curse or spell that she can use to instantly sedate someone. So far it's only been used on Ayumu.
215	* InsultOfEndearment: Suwako's nickname for [[StatuesqueStunner Kanako]] is Beanpole.
216	* LadyOfBlackMagic: She generally doesn't go for elegance, but magic is her specialty. She taught it to Sanae.
217	* PhysicalGoddess
218	* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Kanako's Red.
219	* SelfDuplication: One of Suwako's tricks. It lets her post sentries. As long as she keeps them on the main shrine, she reclaims their energy when they dispell, making them a source of MundaneUtility.
220	** [[spoiler:The Moriya also made use of them to fake having more shrine maidens than they did at their other shrines. Suwako would keep 'office hours' at the shrines and gather faith to fuel the Moriya's aggressive expansion. When the underground reversed the Moriya's fortune, they had to stop this practice.]]
221	* SharedFamilyQuirks: With Sanae. Both [[BeQuietNudge elbow people in the sides]].
222	* SleepModeSize: Suwako, by default. She maintains her child form when low on power, because her larger form means more than just size.
223	** Post [=CoPT=] Moriya Shrine has enough faith to use her [[StatuesqueStunner adult form full time]].
224	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Notable because she came into existence as a goddess of the earth and curses. She is personable, yet alien at times.
225	* TalkToTheFist: Suwako interrupting Kanako's introduction with an [[ImprobableWeaponUser iron ring]] to the back of the head, and a DigAttack from below.
226	* WeaponizedLandmark: Moriya Shrine itself.
227
228	[[/folder]]
229
230	[[folder:Akiya (Unmarked Spoilers Ahead!)]]
231	Ayumu's little sister who died. Her death was a major component in shaping who he is in the present.
232
233	* ArrangedMarriage: She was set up for a relatively young arranged marriage with another clan to strengthen ties.
234	* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: Takes a mortal injury while wearing her wedding dress.
235	* DeathByOriginStory
236	* DisposableWoman: She isn't forgotten, but she does exist as a very personal symbol of Ayumu's loss.
237	* TheGlomp: Greets Ayumu with this.
238	* LonelyFuneral: Her funeral consists of a quick cremation by Ayumu, done as much to honor her as to keep her body from being discovered.
239	* PlotTriggeringDeath: Because of her injury, Ayumu's mother had Ayumu carry Akiya out of the village and to safety. Because Ayumu wasn't in the village, he was not caught or killed.
