14::''Pale Blue Eagle Ravi''
15::'''Seiran'''
16
17-->''"We are Eagle Ravi, the investigation corps of the Moon rabbits. Hindrances are to be eliminated!"''
18
19A MoonRabbit who's part of the covert operations department of the "Eagle Ravi" Earth investigations corps.
20----
21* ButtMonkey:
22** She's treated rather poorly by her superiors, and despite the risks her position involves, she's paid a terrible wage. It's to the point that the Lunarian commanders expect her to perish because of her job as an infiltrator. This also extends to her comrades — when she asks for backup to fight, her request is ignored. Even ZUN makes fun of this by calling her the Japanese equivalent of cannon fodder in her official profile.
23** This extends to her portrayal in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost''. Her story starts with her considering using a jewel she brought from the Lunar Capital to make somewhere better suited for moon rabbits, but she ends up losing it. The second half goes through her journey to go find it, and at each turn she's forced to fight people just for a chance to find it. By the time she accidentally ends up in Hell for the finale she's brought to tears, but even when Saki attempts to comfort her she's ''still'' made to fight her for a chance to get back home. Even though she canonically ends up winning, it's pretty clear that even now she still can't catch a break.
24* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: She has a large mochi mallet splattered with what at first appeared to be blood in the demo version of ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'', but it's actually mochi paste (her profile suggests she was making mochi when encountered, and in the full game the stains are purple).
25* TheGunslinger: Vaguely. She has the ability to shoot bullets from another dimension and all of her Spell Cards are gun-themed.
26* IChooseToStay: Much like Ringo, ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' reveals that she too decided to stay in Gensokyo after the events of the game, with her title in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost even being "Earth-Loving Moon Rabbit".
27* IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: On Reimu and Sanae's routes, she inadvertently reveals the location of the Moon Rabbit base after being defeated.
28* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: ZUN implies in her Spell Card comments that she's kind of a terrible shot.
29* {{Invading Refugee|s}}: She's only here as an advance party for a mass Lunarian evacuation to Gensokyo.
30* {{Leitmotif}}:
31** Her debut theme is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dYfNuoHcFg "The Rabbit Has Landed"]].
32** Her theme in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'' is an arrangement of "Unforgettable, the Nostalgic Greenery".
33* LittleBitBeastly: Being a MoonRabbit like Reisen, she has rabbit ears. [[LampshadeHanging "Although it's not visible in her portraits, she also has a tail."]]
34* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The majority of the invasion force rabbits were told that they were there to clear some space for a Lunar vacation home; at no point were they told that they were in fact preparing for outright genocide should the main heroes fail in stopping Junko.
35* MoonRabbit: Her race. Though unlike the most famous MoonRabbit of ''Touhou'', Reisen Udongein Inaba, she isn't very powerful. This could be attributed to Reisen being considerably more powerful and diligent than other Moon Rabbits; normal Moon Rabbits, while capable of defeating faeries, are not that much stronger, and are noted to be slackers.
36* NonIndicativeName: Seiran's "Evil Bullet 'Speed Strike'" spell card refers less to its speed and more to the fact that it resembles the speed lines used to depict speed in anime and manga.
37* OrangeBlueContrast: She's the blue one while Ringo is orange.
38* PunchClockVillain: She isn’t really that interested in purifying the Earth, but has her orders.
39* RememberTheNewGirl: It's revealed in Reisen's scenario that the two know each other despite Reisen having never mentioned her before.
40* SitcomArchnemesis: ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' establishes this to be her relationship with Ringo, as the two compete as dango saleswomen.
41* SpaceMaster: Can fire bullets from other dimensions, [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway which is a rather redundant ability]] when everyone can shoot some sort of bullet.
42* SpreadShot: Her gimmick, [[MoreDakka large amounts of massed bullets]] that spread very quickly.
43* TelepathicSpacemen: Able to [[{{Telepathy}} communicate telepathically]] with other moon rabbits. She uses stock military radio phrases when doing so.
44* WakeUpCallBoss: She's only a stage 1 boss and her attacks are relatively hard to dodge due to her quickly-spreading bullets.

47[[folder:Ringo]]
48[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th15ringo24.png]]
49
50::''Orange Eagle Ravi''
51::'''Ringo'''
52
53-->''"Ahh, there are some pretty strong people on Earth, huh? You've got all sorts of food, too. I wish I had been born on Earth..."''
54
55Another MoonRabbit who's in the information management department of the "Eagle Ravi" Earth investigations corps. She sends the heroines to the Kaian passageway to the Lunar Capital.
56----
57* DishingOutDirt: Her Moon-Viewing "September Full Moon" and Moon-Viewing Sake "Lunatic September" Spell Cards use ''dorodango'', mud formed into a glossy sphere resembling normal dango, though the variant of the latter used in ''The Grimoire of Usami'' uses actual dango instead.
58* EarthyBarefootCharacter: Among the Lunarians she completely eschews not just shoes but socks as well, to represent not just her DishingOutDirt powers but also her eventual literal connection to the Earth.
59* EdibleAmmunition: Most of her danmaku is made out of edible dango.
60* IChooseToStay: Likes Earth and decides not to come back to the Lunar Capital.
61* {{Invading Refugee|s}}: She's only here as an advance party for a mass Lunarian evacuation to Gensokyo.
62* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7VZo-PwBeE "Pumpkin of September"]]
63* LevitatingLotusPosition: Her spellcasting pose.
64* LittleBitBeastly: Rabbit ears on a mostly human-looking body, like Reisen and Seiran. Also most likely a tail, like all {{Moon Rabbit}}s.
65* {{Lunacy}}: Some of her Spell Cards and her {{Leitmotif}} appear to be based around the Harvest Moon, commonly occurring in September or October, and also the time when pumpkins are harvested.[[note]]Coincidentally, 2015's Harvest Moon, the year ''[=LoLK=]'' took place and was released, happened to be a September one.[[/note]]
66* MoonRabbit: Yet another one of these, like Reisen and Seiran. However, she eventually decides that she prefers living on Earth and doesn't go back to the Lunar Capital.
67* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Ringo was apparently present while Reimu was demonstrating her god-summoning abilities to the Lunar Capital near the end of ''Manga/TouhouBougetsushou''.
68* OrangeBlueContrast: The orange to Seiran's blue.
69* PowerUpFood: Her power is to get stronger by eating dango. Dango is also her Spell Card theme.
70* PunchClockVillain: Isn't really that interested in purifying the Earth, and in fact is interested in staying, but has her orders. ZUN mentions in the music comments that "Pumpkin of September" is meant to represent not only her power, but her doubts on whether or not fighting is the right thing to do.
71* SignatureHeadgear: An artist's cap that somewhat resembles ZUN's own signature cap.
72* SitcomArchnemesis: ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' establishes this to be her relationship with Seiren, as the two compete as dango saleswomen.
73* TelepathicSpacemen: Mentioned as being a trait of all moon rabbits, allowing them to communicate with each other across long distances.
74* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Dango, obviously.

77[[folder:Doremy Sweet]]
78[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th15doremy5.png]]
79
80::''Ruler of Dreams''
81::'''Doremy Sweet'''
82
83-->''"Very well. I will dispose of this lunatic dream. Now, sleep. I will craft your Kaian now."''
84
85A baku guarding the Kaian passageway between Gensokyo and the Lunar Capital. She is the ruler of the Dream World where the Kaian passage exists. She later appears as a playable character in ''Antinomy of Common Flowers''.
86----
87* AnimalMotifs: Her black-white-black dress invokes the look of the Malayan tapir, the animal the baku was based upon, which has a black upper body, white lower body and black hind legs, and her nightcap is likely a reference to the tapir's own trunk.
88* AscendedExtra: While not a full-blown PlotIrrelevantVillain, her role in the narrative of ''Legacy of the Lunatic Kingdom'' was still a fairly minor one. ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' makes her one of the most important characters in the game's story, and she's since become a full-blown recurring character who pops up whenever the Dream World is involved.
89* {{Baku}}: The kind of youkai she is. Being the ruler of the Dream World, she's strongly associated with dreams and sleep, and her design was inspired by the Malayan tapir, the animal the baku is based on.
90* BewareTheSillyOnes: Her fighting style is very eccentric and comical, but do ''not'' take this to mean she is a pushover.
91* CatSmile: Has a near permanent one plastered on her face. It often serves to give her a somewhat smug look.
92* CharacterCatchphrase: Almost always introduces herself with "I am Doremy Sweet, the ruler of dreams."
93* CompressedHair: Hides a full head of hair within her nightcap, something only visible in her post-battle sprite.
94* CountingSheep: Two of Doremy's moves in ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' reference this trope, tying into her association with dreams and sleep: one has her firing sheep from a book to attack, and another has her turn into a giant sheep mecha that shoots even more sheep as missiles.
95* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair and eyes.
96* DemonicPossession: In ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' Doremy is capable of "stowing away" with others ([[SelfDuplication even multiple people at once]]) through a means different from the [[TagTeam Perfect Possession technique]] at the heart of the incident ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation though it's still treated the same for gameplay purposes]]). Apart from Dream Reisen's and Sumireko's routes (where Doremy serves as their partner) she mostly limits herself to observation, to the point where Doremy-possessed enemies in Story Mode will stand still and stop defending themselves while she's in control.
97* DimensionLord: A heroic version of the Dream World. Doremy has no interest in conquering the real world and only acts to stop the perfect possession incident.
98* DreamLand: Where she lives and rules over. Being a baku, she's noted to be the strongest type of youkai in it.
99* DreamStealer: Being a ''baku'', a youkai who eats dreams, it's only natural that she can do this.
100* DreamWeaver: Can eat, make, and replace dreams. In fact, her Spell Cards are formed from nightmares and lucid dreams.
101* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Her Super-Express "Dream Express" Spell Card used in the EX stage has her fire rainbow-colored bullets.
102* FightingClown: In ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'', she fights by firing small sheep from a book, throwing pink dream bubbles, blowing a trumpet, or drawing the enemy closer with a vacuum cleaner. Then there's her ''Nightmare of Chimera'' spellcard, where she turns into a giant mecha sheep robot and shoots sheep missiles.
103* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Her book records the contents of dreams, though she doesn't seem to need to actually read it to draw on its knowledge.
104* KillTheGod: This is Doremy's actual job in a metaphorical sense. She's in charge of making sure dreamers aren't able to realize that they have unlimited power in the dream world.
105* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnPvqUCpI_w "Eternal Spring Dream"]]
106* LittleBitBeastly: Downplayed; she has an odd white tail with a black tuft of fur on the end, but no visible animal ears.
107* {{Lunacy}}: Her final Spell Card, Moon Sign "Ultramarine Lunatic Dream".
108* MagicalBarefooter: Downplayed. She wears socks but not shoes, going with her dream powers and sleepwear-like clothes.
109* MiniMecha: One of her Spell Cards in ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' involves her turning into a giant robotic sheep ([[ShoutOut which looks like]] the [[Anime/{{Gaiking}} Daiku Maryu]]) and firing missiles everywhere.
110* MundaneUtility: ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' reveals that while on the job Doremy uses her power over dreams to research and develop a line of pillows by talking to sleepers as they are dreaming. These pillows are later shown to be a highly successful sales item. Apparently, she was also able to [[TradeSnark trademark the word "sweet"]] for them.
111* NonProtagonistResolver: Is a bit of this in ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' being the one who takes care of the Perfhect Possession Incident while the majority of the cast is dealing with the Yorigami sisters.
112* NothingPersonal: Doremy's reason for opposing Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae is merely to stop them from getting into any real danger in the dream world as they are in their real bodies. After they defeat her she easily lets them go upon hearing their reason for being there. For Reisen it's different - since she's a former moon rabbit the Lunar Capital ordered Doremy to stop her should she appear. On first contact she mistakes most of them as just dreaming.
113* TheOmniscient: Has knowledge of just about everyone due to watching their dreams.
114* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Doremy isn't usually invested in incidents unless the situation calls for it, but in ''Violet Detector'' she is much more openly antagonistic to Sumireko despite having parted with her on somewhat good terms in ''Antimony of Common Flowers''. [[spoiler:That's because it's not Sumireko, but her Dream Soul; she's still just [[KillTheGod doing her job]] while trying to get the ''real'' Sumireko her body back.]]
115* OurSpiritsAreDifferent: Is holding a [[Manga/WildAndHornedHermit Dream Soul]] in her portrait.
116* PromotedToPlayable: She's one of the new additions in ''Antinomy of Common Flowers''.
117* PunnyName: Seems to be a pun on "do re mi", "dreamy", and "sweet dreams".
118* RankScalesWithAsskicking: She isn't just a lowly Baku worker, but rather the full-fledged ruler of the Dream World, and she is notorious in fandom for being unnaturally difficult for a stage 3 boss, so much that ZUN had to tone her down from the demo just to prevent a DifficultySpike.
119* RealityWarper: In ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' her Occult Special allows her to create small pockets into the dream world. In addition her Last World involves trapping the opponent in the dream world.
120* RecurringBoss: Is the Stage 3 boss and reappears as [[PreFinalBoss the Extra Stage midboss.]]
121* {{Revenge}}: Despite being associated with the Lunar Capital she despises the fact that she was ordered to be a glorified gatekeeper. Likewise she was also responsible for creating the dream Lunar Capital and ran out of patience when nothing changed for one and a half years. In response she barely puts up a fight and tells the player character how to reach the capital.
122* SelfDuplication: During the events of ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'', she sends out multiple copies of herself to keep an eye on everyone's rampant dream selves.
123* SignatureHeadgear: Is always seen wearing a nightcap, tying into her motif of sleep and dreams. ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' depicts it as roughly as long as she is tall.
124* SmugSmiler: Her usual expression in ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' is a smug grin.
125* {{Tradesnark}}: ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' implies that she somehow managed to trademark the word "Sweet" for her Sweet Sleep Pillows.
126* TheUnfought: She is never fought against directly in the ''Antinomy of Common Flowers'' story mode.
127* WillfullyWeak: Doremy is the master of the dream world, and as Reisen states a Baku is one of the most dangerous Youkai to face in their realm, though according to WordOfGod baku as a whole are not particularly powerful youkai. Despite this she is only the 3rd stage boss, later Sagume states that it was odd that Doremy let the heroines pass. She later appears in the Ex stage as a considerably more dangerous mid boss.

130[[folder:Sagume Kishin]]
131[[quoteright:244:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th15kishin.png]]
132
133::''Goddess who Invites Unfortunate Slips of the Tongue''
134::'''Sagume Kishin'''
135
136-->''"I have no choice but to bet the fate of the Lunar Capital on you. There's no escape any more. Fate has at last begun to reverse! Now, on to the enemy's home base, the Sea of Tranquility!"''
137
138A high ranked Lunarian in charge of the plan to relocate the Lunar Capital.
139----
140* AffablyEvil: Very polite for a heavenly goddess/SpaceElf fully willing to eradicate all of humanity.
141* AmbiguousSituation: Hecatia directly suggests the possibility that Aya's writing of the ''Bunbunmaru Shinpo'' was the result of Sagume using Aya as an unwitting sleeper agent via her powers, in order to take over or destroy Gensokyo, which is now considered the Lunar Capital's enemy, something Aya herself admits to being a strong likelihood in the books post-word. The exact truth to this speculation is never confirmed. It also comes from [[UnreliableNarrator Hecatia]], whose dislike of Lunarians doesn't exactly make her a reliable source on them.
142* AnimalMotifs: The heron, as shown by her "One Winged White Heron" Spell Card. ZUN said in an interview that the idea behind her came from the words "heron" and "swindler" sounding alike in Japanese ("sagi").
143* BigBadEnsemble: Along with the BigBadDuumvirate of Junko and Hecatia.
144* BlessedWithSuck: Everything will conspire against her to make whatever she speaks about untrue. Due to this, she needs to be very careful about what she says.
145* CharacterTic: She never stops touching her lips with her fingers or covering her mouth with her hand.
146* ConsummateLiar: Unusually, due to the way her power works she has to lie constantly and pick her words carefully out of necessity rather than to mess with or manipulate people.
147* CosmicPlaything: The world hates her so much that it conspires to make everything she says a lie.
148* DiscOneFinalBoss: Though she's the one in charge of the invasion, she's only the Stage 4 Boss, and the heroine is sent to save the Lunar Capital from Junko and Hecatia.
149* EvilGloating: Usually defied by herself due to her power, but when she starts explaining the plan, by definition her very own power begins working against it. It must be quite the relief for her to actually be able to say something without thinking about negative consequences for once.
150* FashionableAsymmetry: Has a single wing. Many [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] jokes were had, especially since her ultimate Spell Card is called "One Winged White Heron".
151* FlunkyBoss: Uses those yin-yang enemies in large quantities.
152* GreaterScopeVillain: To ''Urban Legend in Limbo'', as it was she who made it possible for Sumireko to get the Occult Ball of the Moon as part of her plan to bring the Lunar Capital to Gensokyo. Sagume also gave this Occult Ball some of her power, which is what caused the Urban Legends to materialize over the course of the game.
153* TheHeavy: She's in charge of the invasion of Gensokyo, though not the actual villain.
154* ILetYouWin: The only reason she fights the protagonists is because she wishes to determine if and why Eirin sent them. After which she sends you on your way to defeat ''her'' enemy. Notably, after she is defeated, her portrait does not display any InstantBandages or even ClothingDamage, indicating that she has far from gone all-out.
155* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Her skirt trails out into a set of arrow-like tassels which spiral around her from the hem. Sumireko comments on it in ''Violet Detector.''
156* {{Invading Refugee|s}}: Invading Gensokyo to avoid destruction at the hands of Junko.
157* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9VAtHrz-vY "The Reversed Wheel of Fortune"]]
158* MirrorCharacter: To Seija, and amanojaku in general. Where amanojaku say and do things the opposite of the world, the world does everything opposite of what Sagume says.
159* MoralPragmatist: As soon as she realizes that the heroine might be able to drive Clownpiece and Junko off the moon, she abandons the plan to invade Gensokyo and throws her stock in with them.
160* OurGodsAreDifferent: Not only is it in her title, hearing her name makes Kanako wonder if the Lunarians are descended from the heavenly gods. She is likely to be Ame-no-sagume, servant of Ame-no-wakahiko, who is believed to be the root of the amanojaku.
161* OurSpiritsAreDifferent: Sagume's profile says she can tentatively be classified as a divine spirit, despite not being one of the standard types - a god, an oni, or one of the dead. According to ZUN's interview in ''Strange Creators of Outer World'', she's part heavenly god, part native god, while according to his comments on ''[=LoLK=]'''s musical score, she's also a kind of amanojaku.
162* PowerIncontinence: ''Everything'' she says gets reversed. Goals and situations get the brunt of it in canon, but fanon likes to kick it up a notch and make even minor observations work against her.
163* PublicDomainCharacter: Is Ame-no-Sagume, a minor character in the Kojiki associated with lies, though WordOfGod notes that Sagume herself is not the exact same character, and more a reimagining.
164* TheQuietOne: Talks little, what with reality itself fighting against her words.
165* RealityWarper: The opposite of what she says comes true, with events transpiring to make it come about seemingly naturally. The manifestation of urban legends in the previous game was her power.
166* RememberTheNewGirl: In Reisen's scenario, she recognizes her, even calling her "Lady Sagume", despite Reisen having never mentioned her before.
167* RobotMaster: Her orbs seem to be artificial constructs, and one of her spellcards refers to them having different models for different purposes.
168* StoryBreakerPower: One of the biggest examples in the series, as noted by [[WordOfGod ZUN himself.]] Sagume's ambiguously described powers allow her to essentially rewrite fate to act in opposition to whatever she says, an ability which from what has been shown has near limitless potential. Case in point, her intervention in ''Grimoire of Usami'' ends the massive riot that had broken with just a few words.
169* SymbolMotifClothing: Her dress is cut into an arrow pattern similar to that of Seija Kijin's, though her artwork has them twirling, which may signify how the world moves in opposition to her, as well as her own {{Leitmotif}}.
170* TakeOverTheWorld: This was Sagume's plan if the heroes were unable to or refused to help the Lunar Capital, in one stroke she would eradicate Gensokyo and replace it with the real Lunar Capital just to run away from Junko's plans. Although the moment she discussed it with the heroines as a threat meant that it was already doomed to fail, showing the amount of trust she placed in the protagonists.
171* TarotMotifs: Apart from the title of her song, Sagume actually does fit the qualities of the reversed Wheel of Fortune arcanum, primarily those of external forces working against her, e.g. the world working in direct opposition of her words because of her power.
172* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Enforced by her ability. When she spills the beans about the Lunar Capital relocation plan, she freely admits that it's bound to fail, simply because she talked about it.
173* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Despite the events of ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' and ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'' having come to a close and the Lunar Capital being saved, the power of the urban legends Sagume instilled in Gensokyo has yet to fade, which ends up sparking one last incident and setting the stage for ''Antimony of Common Flowers''.
174* WellIntentionedExtremist: The invasion of Gensokyo was only enacted because Junko and Hecatia were making the Lunar Capital inhospitable to the Lunarians, forcing them to transfer. And even then, the transfer was meant to be insurance. When the player character proves strong enough to save the Lunar Capital, she doesn't hesitate abandoning the plan and sending the heroine in the right direction.
175* WingedHumanoid: However, she has only one wing.
176* WomanBehindTheWoman: She's the one behind the events of ''Urban Legend in Limbo'', having manipulated Sumireko into using the Lunar Capital Occult Ball.

179[[folder:Clownpiece]]
180[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th15clownpiece.png]]
181
182::''Hell Fairy''
183::'''Clownpiece'''
184
185-->''"Kyahahahaha! Something real interesting is going on~! Hey, fairies! Let's crank up the speed! '''It's lunatic tiiiime!''' Welcome to a world of madness!"''
186
187A particularly powerful fairy and Hecatia's minion, who assists in the plan to flood the moon with lifeforce.
188
189Following the events of ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'', she's made a new home in the basement of the Hakurei Shrine, as seen in ''Manga/{{Visionary Fairies in Shrine}}.''
190----
191* AchillesHeel: According to ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' she's unable to use her madness powers without her torch.
192* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Junko's purification powers made her pure life force in the shape of a fairy. From a Lunarian perspective she's more of a HumanoidAbomination.
193* BadassAdorable: She's an adorable little fairy that can throw the moon at you.
194* BerserkButton: She, and any other regular fairy, are considered this for the Lunar Capital; due to the fact that Lunarians don't live by the human laws of life and death, Clownpiece being on the Moon (on top of Junko purifying her to become purely lifeforce) brings these concepts there and therefore [[HostileTerraforming makes the Lunar Capital inhospitable to Lunarians]]. Her stars-and-stripes patterned clothing is likely meant to piss off the Lunarians even more, since it would serve as a reminder of Neil Armstrong's moon landing. Confirmed in a ZUN interview where he explains that Clownpiece adopted the stars and stripes after seeing the American flag on the Sea of Tranquility.
195* CurbStompBattle: Twofold one to the Lunar Capital. Just having a fairy ''be'' on the Lunar Capital scrambles their concepts of life and death to the point of causing the moon to freeze over, and with Junko having turned the fairies into beings of pure lifeforce, they're invulnerable to their impurity-destroying weaponry in addition to being generally more powerful. Clownpiece and her pack of fairies wreck the Lunarians so hard that they're forced to ''evacuate'', to what could be considered ''enemy territory''.
196* TheDragon: Hecatia's top servant, although she's on loan to Junko for the main story of the game.
197* DumbBlonde: While she's a lot more powerful than the average ''Touhou'' fairy, [[DumbMuscle she isn't any smarter]], and happens to be blonde. As an example, she doesn't realize or figure out that Marisa isn't a Lunarian until she actually tells her.
198* EnergyWeapon: The laser-est boss since Shou. They represent the stripes in her Stars 'n Stripes motif.
199* EvilLaugh: She first shows up with a "Kyahahahaha!"
200* FromNobodyToNightmare: Was originally just another fairy (Though Hecatia alludes in her ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' interview that Clownpiece was pretty strong even beforehand) before being powered up by Junko for the lunar invasion.
201* GirlishPigtails: In the second part of Chapter 11 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', she puts her hair into pigtails for the water ride, making her look even younger.
202* GoodEyesEvilEyes: In ''Manga/{{Visionary Fairies in Shrine}}'' her eyes are noticably more narrow than those of other fairies.
203* GratuitousEnglish: Her "It's lunatic tiiiime!" line above is said in English. Considering Clownpiece is technically Greek (being a Lampad from Greek mythology) and works for Hecatia (also based on Greek mythology) her knowledge of a Western language makes some sense.
204* HappyHarlequinHat: An odd four-coned variation, with two of the cones twisted around each other to connect to a single pompom.
205* HatePlague: ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' reveals that she can use her torch to make people irrationally angry and fight one another for no reason.
206* HiddenDepths: ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' Chapter 2 shows that she's surprisingly introspective for a fairy, or at least enough to wonder why the Lunarians hate life and why she was born in Hell instead of Gensokyo.
207* IChooseToStay: After the events of ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'' she decides to move to Gensokyo, and to the basement of the Hakurei Shrine in particular because Reimu's one of the few people she knows in Gensokyo. That said, when the Three Fairies ask for the exact reason she came to Gensokyo, she gets evasive. [[spoiler:It turns out Hecatia asked her to stay, and she doesn't know why.]]
208* ImplacableWoman: Not only is Clownpiece the first Stage 5 boss to have a survival spell, she has ''two''. She's also the only boss whose final phase is a survival phase, implying she doesn't lose due to being beat up, but due to getting tired (especially as her post-fight dialogue starts with her huffing and puffing). This could be a ContinuityNod to ''Great Fairy Wars'', where Cirno doesn't lose due to being shot down, but due to running out of motivation.
209* InSeriesNickname: The Three Fairies of Light call her "Piece".
210* ItAmusedMe: Likes messing with people's minds and [[LetsYouAndHimFight making them fight]] for fun, according to ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine''.
211* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While a ''very'' destructive prankster as a result of her upbringing in Hell, she's genuinely quite good-hearted, and quickly becomes close friends with the other Fairies.
212* KingMook: Easily the strongest example yet of a species normally used as cannon fodder.
213* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwdRh8fOpLs "Pierrot of the Star-Spangled Banner"]][[note]]"Pierrot" (ピエロ) is a loanword from French used in Japanese for the word "clown" partly because there's no word for "clown" in that language, and partly because the English word for "clown", the traditional language used in Japan for loanwords, clashes with the spelling of the word "crown" (クラウン), due to the L/R dilemma.[[/note]]
214* {{Lunacy}}: Being a subordinate of Hecatia, she can also harness the power of the moon by summoning literal moons to smack the player with.
215* MundaneLuxury:
216** Compared to Hell, she and her fellow Hell fairies consider the barren lunar surface an improvement.
217** While she's on Earth in ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', she gains an appreciation for the Earth's wonders as well.
218* MundaneUtility: In Chapter 3 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' Clownpiece's torch, which can induce madness in anyone who peers into it, is used to burn away the vines covering the Three Fairies' tree house. Related to the same, the main reason Reimu lets her live in the shrine's basement boils down to using her to warm up the shrine.
219* NatureSpirit: When Luna Child says that her madness powers seem more akin to the abilities of a ghost than a fairy in Chapter 1 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', Clownpiece answers that to her human minds are as much a part of nature as plants are since nature in Hell is the souls of the dead.
220* NeckLift: In the final chapter of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', she's on the receiving end thanks to [[spoiler:Okina, warning her that there's a secret god (I.E. Okina) in Gensokyo.]]
221* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: In ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'', she's a hell fairy clown from Greek mythology wearing an American flag turned into a dress-and-socks combo, on the moon, while causing HostileTerraforming. Later on, in ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', she moves to Gensokyo, where she starts playing pranks.
222* OurFairiesAreDifferent: [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Strange_Creators_of_Outer_World/Legacy_of_Lunatic_Kingdom_interview_with_ZUN To be more specific, she's a]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampad Lampad]], a kind of underworld nymph subordinate to Hecate who all bear torches that have the power to drive people to madness.
223* PlayingWithFire: ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' reveals that Clownpiece has the ability to generate {{Hellfire}}.
224* PowerBornOfMadness: Beings touched by the light of her torch are driven to madness, which brings out their true strength. She uses this on her fairies in the middle of her stage to make them attack faster and more aggressively, then uses it on herself for her boss fight.
225* ThePrankster: ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' reveals that she's just as into pranking people as any other fairy despite her prodigious amount of power.
226* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes and like Reisen can drive people to madness.
227* RegalRuff: Comes with the classic clown attire.
228* SignatureHeadgear: Wears a polka-dotted [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_and_bells Cap and Bells]] with two of the ears connecting to the same pompom.
229* SixthRanger: Becomes the fourth member of the Fairies of Light in ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' out of a desire to learn more about the human world.
230* SoulPower: [[spoiler:What her power actually is. It isn't causing people to go mad as much as causing ''their lifeforce to go berserk''. The flame she uses ''is actually the souls of the damned that fell to Hell.'']]
231* StarPower: She attacks with a lot of stars as a part of her Stars 'n Stripes motif.
232* ThrowTheDogABone: Basically this is the reason why Clownpiece was ordered by Hecatia to live in Gensokyo. [[spoiler:Perhaps noticing that Clownpiece is different from other denizens of hell, Hecatia's order was a reward for Clownpiece's service during the incident.]]
233* UnderestimatingBadassery: Before their fight, Reisen was bewildered that Lunarians would have trouble fighting a fairy like Clownpiece. Her opinion on her changes after they fight.
234* {{Unishment}}: [[spoiler:After Clownpiece disobeys Hecatia's orders at the end of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', Hecatia 'punishes' Clownpiece by not allowing her to come back to Hell, instead telling her to return to Gensokyo and observe it until Hecatia comes up with a new plan. Also, if it's possible, Hecatia wants her to get in touch with Okina.]]
235* VillainousHarlequin: What with being a clown fairy from hell, with all the mischievousness that implies.
236* WalkingWasteland: Either inverted or played straight, depending on your perspective. Her powers as a fairy, boosted by Junko's purification abilities, technically bring life to her lifeless surroundings. However, with life comes the ability to die, something that Lunarians don't normally have to worry about.
237* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: More like wearing a flag on your ''body''; she wears an American-flag based dress, as well as matching tights. Even her attack patterns consist mostly of stars and stripes (or rather, stars and lasers).
238* WingedHumanoid: Being a fairy, she naturally has wings.
239* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: She marvels in wonder at Gensokyo's spring, bouncing around the cherry blossoms. It's enough for her to honestly wonder why the Lunarians hate life so much and why she was born in Hell rather than Gensokyo.

241
242[[folder:Junko]]
243[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th15junko.png]]
244
245::'''Junko'''
246
247-->''"My mortal enemy, Chang'e. Are you watching?! Gaze upon this poor soul as she struggles between life and death!"''
248
249A divine spirit with a grudge against Chang'e. She masterminds a plan to force the Lunarians to relocate, which would leave Chang'e vulnerable. The problem comes in when the Lunarian relocation would involve purifying Gensokyo.
250----
251* ActionMom: The fact [[spoiler:she had a son]] doesn't stop her from being a dangerous FinalBoss.
252* AnimalMotifs: She has a bit of a fox theme going on; the second kanji in her name means "fox", her status as TheStrategist makes her come across as CunningLikeAFox, and [[AnimalBattleAura she's depicted with seven fox-like "tails" of energy behind her]].
253* AnthropomorphicPersonification: She is a Divine Spirit but has purified herself to the point that she is nothing more than a being composed of pure resentment that looks like a human.
254* BattleAura: Apart from her energy tails, for some of her Spell Cards she forms a leaf-shaped aura behind her. During the final spell card in Extra mode, the aura is transferred to Hecatia to signify she's utilizing her power of purification.
255* BigBad: She's the mastermind behind the plan that drove the Lunarians off the Moon and led them to target Gensokyo for resettlement.
256* BigBadDuumvirate: She and Hecatia both concocted the plan to invade the Lunar Capital in order to get at Chang'e. While Junko took the necessary measures to render the Moon inhospitable to the Lunarians and thus make them flee, Hecatia would position herself in the Dream World to ambush and trap the Lunarians in there.
257* BoringButPractical: Her spellcards in general are [[{{Minimalism}} visually simple compared to others]], designed to kill the player instead of looking pretty. Some of her spellcard names even reflect this: "Simple Danmaku for Cornering a Trapped Rat" and "Pristine Danmaku for Killing a Person", anyone?
258* BossSubtitles: Averted; she has absolutely no title in-game! Her official profile lists [[TheNameless "(Nameless Being)"]] in the place where her in-game title would normally appear, but it's formatted unlike any other.
259* CombatPragmatist: Danmaku battles are supposed to be a beautiful and meaningful spectacle and more of a game than a battle. Junko couldn't give less of a crap about all this shlock, her danmaku is not designed to be pretty, it's designed to '''kill'''. Even her spellcard names betray her attitude - while she at least tried to stick to spellcard naming conventions at first, her final spellcard sounds very CaptainObvious (''Pure Sign "Purely Bullet Hell"'' or ''Pure Sign "A Pristine Danmaku Hell"'' depending on difficulty). By the Extra Stage, she seems to have completely run out of ideas and fox to give, resulting in brilliant names like ''"Simple Danmaku for Cornering a Trapped Rat"'' and ''"Pristine Danmaku for Killing a Person"''.
260* CombinationAttack: "First and Last Nameless Danmaku" alongside Hecatia.
261* DidNotSeeThatComing: She didn't foresee that an earthling would come to thwart her plans thanks to Eirin's scheme, but the success of her plan will depend if the player took the elixir (Pointdevice Mode) or not (Legacy Mode), or alternatively didn't lose a single life prior to meeting Junko in Legacy Mode. If the player took it (or didn't lose any lives), Junko will preemptively surrender before the fight (although you'll still fight her normally), but if the player didn't take it and lost lives, she will mock you instead.
262* DualBoss: She helps Hecatia during the Extra stage's boss fight, taking up two spellcards for herself, before getting on-screen together with Hecatia during the final spellcard, "First and Last Nameless Danmaku".
263* EmptyEyes: In ''Manga/{{Visionary Fairies in Shrine}}'' she's depicted with dull irises, tiny pupils and an empty smile, which serves to make her look extremely creepy.
264* EmptyShell: Due to purifying herself, Junko is literally incapable of truly feeling any emotions outside of her all-encompassing hatred for Chang'e. She's less a person in a traditional sense, and more a force of nature.
265* EvilWearsBlack: Wears black robes and is easily one of the most sinister characters to appear in ''Touhou''.
266* FinalBoss: The final boss of the main game of ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''. She even shows up in the extra stage alongside the SuperBoss to fight the player again.
267* {{Foil}}: ZUN intended for ''Lunacy of Lunatic Kingdom'' to be not too dark of a story by having a character who contrasts Junko's dead serious attitude; namely, her co-conspirator Hecatia, who is considerably more pleasant and comical.
268* ForcedToWatch: Junko announces to Chang'e that she is going to force her to watch as Junko attempts to annihilate the Heroine, if the player is playing on Legacy mode and has misses.
269* GreaterScopeVillain: Her invasion and siege of the Lunarians was what made Sagume's plan in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' necessary in the first place.
270* HistoricalDomainCharacter:
271** Her backstory shows that she was originally Chún Hú, the wife of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xia_dynasty Xia Dynasty]] ruler [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houyi Hou'yi]]. Indeed, "Junko" is just the Japanese reading of the original kanji.
272** Her backstory implies that the two figures named Hou'yi in Chinese mythology, the one whom ruled the Xia Dynasty and [[spoiler:killed his and Chún Hú's child, Bó Fēng,]] and the archer who married Chang'e and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houyi#The_Time_of_the_Ten_Suns shot down the Nine Sunbirds]] are the same character within the Touhou universe, with elements of both figures being re-worked to fit together.
273* HostileTerraforming: Her big plan is to make the moon unsuitable for Lunarians by making it suitable for mortal life.
274* HumanoidAbomination: While Junko might ''look'' like a human, her purifying herself has left her as essentially a blob of pure hatred and resentment in a human shape.
275* InUniverseCatharsis: The main reason she attacks the player character if playing on Pointdevice Mode or Legacy Mode with no misses after accepting defeat is to vent off steam from getting outplayed by Sagume and Eirin.
276* KnightOfCerebus: Easily the ''darkest'' villain in the series to date. Junko's debut marked when the games more or less shifted to more morally grey conflicts instigated by AmbiguouslyEvil or even outright villainous characters.
277* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV-ccQkW-0M "Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart"]]. True to Junko's theme of [[PureIsNotGood purity and hatred]], this motif is bereft of elegance and is straightforward in conveying the sheer power behind Junko's vengeful nature.
278* LightIsNotGood: She uses many spell cards with a [[LightEmUp light elemental theme]] (e.g. "Pure Light of the Palm", "Trembling, Shivering Star"), but make no mistake, Junko is thoroughly evil.
279* MeaningfulName: The first part of her name, "jun", means "pure" or clean in Japanese.
280* {{Minimalism}}: Fitting her "purified" nature, her attacks have a bare-bones look compared to the colourful BulletHell thrown out by most {{Final Boss}}es in the series, favouring thin rings of small white bullets. Not that this makes them any less deadly.
281* MotiveDecay: [[spoiler:Junko's primary revenge target was not Chang'e, but Houyi, her husband -- whom she already killed a long time ago. But because she converted herself into a being of pure grudge who knows nothing but vengeance, Junko escalates to things that Houyi had a connection to as if to erase all traces of his existence, so she now fixates on his wife.]]
282* OnlyOneName: Junko's notable as she is the only Final Boss of all of the Windows games to not have a last name.
283* OurSpiritsAreDifferent: She's a divine spirit - although whether she's what ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense'' describes as a divine spirit (one of the dead revered as a god) or something else entirely is left completely open. Her profile states that "By now, she has no need even for information on what exactly she is."
284* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Her resentment against Chang'e started when [[spoiler:Chang'e's husband killed Junko's son]]. Because of this, she plots against the Lunar Capital to get at Chang'e.
285* OutOfFocus: In contrast to practically all of the Windows-era final bosses who came before her, she fell into the wayside in terms of relevancy immediately, only appearing in cameos or cast-wide appearances like in ''Violet Detector'' and ''Grimoire of Usami''. She doesn't even have an article in ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia''.
286* PerpetualSmiler: Even though she is practically resentment incarnate, she is almost constantly seen smiling.
287* PillarOfLight: Her spell card ''Lilies of Murderous Intent'' throws small red {{Energy Ball}}s that detonate into one of these when they touch the edge of the screen. Every so often she'll charge up for a moment, then throw multiple balls ''backwards'', where they hit the top of the screen and [[BeamSpam fill it with lasers]].
288* PunnyName: Not her, but her first spellcard, "Pure Light of the Palm", is "掌の純光" (tenohira no junkou) in Japanese. "Pure Light", or ''junkou'', sounds almost identical to "Junko".
289* PureIsNotGood: Junko's entire character design, alongside her innate ability, is based around the concept of purity. Even her ''name'' has the kanji for "pure" in it. However, due to her tragic backstory of [[spoiler:losing her son and seeking revenge on those who she considers guilty for her loss,]] she has purified herself into a being of pure ''resentment''. Her rather plain-looking danmaku patterns are also part of the purity concept by virtue of being straight up murderous, in contrast to other elaborate and colourful boss patterns. [[spoiler:Reimu lampshades the "Pure" part in her ending "Savior of the Lunar Capital" via describing her as a "pure soul"]].
290* RedEyesTakeWarning: She's dangerous, powerful, responsible for attacking the Lunar Capital, and she has red eyes.
291* RevengeByProxy: Ish. Her grudge came from [[spoiler:Chang'e's husband killing Junko's son. Junko already killed him for this, and is now after his wife]]. However, the game goes on to say that she isn't really doing this out of revenge, but because the only thing she has is pure resentment.
292* TheStrategist: Seemingly more interested in clever tactics than in brute force danmaku battles; she considered it her loss the moment the protagonists arrived, since it was outside her predictions.
293* SignatureHeadgear: As a former Chinese noblewoman, she wears a black [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fengguan Phoenix Crown.]]
294* SuperEmpowering: One of the applications of her purification abilities - she was able to purify [[NatureSpirit fairies]] into beings of pure lifeforce, making them more dangerous to the Lunar Capital. She also uses this during her tag-team spellcard with Hecatia, resulting in both of their attacks being purified into their most basic and effective form.
295* TakeAwayTheirName: In the sense of a TrueName which defines someone's identity - she no longer has one, and seems to only use her old name "Junko" out of convenience. Tying into concepts introduced in ''Literature/CuriositiesOfLotusAsia'', ZUN describes her power as the ability to return things to their primordial state before they had a name, comparing it to the ability to create gods (when something is first given a name, it [[UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat becomes collapsed]] to exist only as the aspect described by that name - i.e. it loses its divine nature).
296* ThousandYardStare: Whenever she appears in the series printed media she is always portrayed with a hollow, empty gaze punctuated with an equally empty smile.
297* TheUnfettered: She orchestrated the attack on the Lunar Capital ''just to get at Chang'e''. Bear in mind that Chang'e herself is already a branded and imprisoned criminal on the Lunar Capital. Evidently Junko being an embodiment of pure resentment is not an exaggeration.
298* VileVillainSaccharineShow: She effectively intends to commit a genocide, in a series that usually doesn't go in such a dark place with its plots. She has no regards for the humans that might be killed by the Lunarians' attempt to escape and seems to only stop her attack on the moon when she realizes that the player will defeat her anyway. When asked why such a dark character made her way into the franchise, ZUN responded that Junko is an outsider to Gensokyo, meaning that you wouldn't find that type of character inside it.
299* WeWillMeetAgain: [[spoiler:Not necessarily to the heroine, but Junko makes clear that she will not ''stop'' her revenge plans, only ''delay'' them out of apology for Genskoyo having been wrapped up in the mess. The Lunarians haven't seen the last of her.]]
300* YouKilledMyFather: Or rather, you killed my son. Before she became resentment incarnate, the original reason why she had a grudge towards Chang'e was due to her husband Hou Yi murdering Junko's son.
301[[/folder]]
302
303[[folder:Hecatia Lapislazuli]]
304[[quoteright:194:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th15hecatia.png]]
305
306::''Goddess of Hell''
307::'''Hecatia Lapislazuli'''
308
309-->''"I'll give you a real fun choice! The moon, the Earth, or the Otherworld...? Pick whichever body you want to be killed by!"''
310
311The goddess of the three hells (Earth, Moon, and the Otherworlds). She assists Junko with her plan because she doesn't like Chang'e either, and because her husband shot down her associate Apollo.
312----
313* AffablyEvil: She's really quite friendly for a goddess of Hell who helped plot a genocide.
314* AlwaysABiggerFish: She ranks higher than [[{{Psychopomp}} Shiki Eiki]] in the CelestialBureaucracy, and Eiki herself is powerful enough to (possibly) give the likes of [[RealityWarper Yukari]] second thoughts about going up against her. In a world where the SuperpowerLottery is known for giving out [[StoryBreakerPower absolutely ridiculous prizes]], this Hot Topic goth with the comparatively low-tier-sounding power of "having three bodies" might well be the absolute strongest entity thus far seen in the series. ZUN even outright says that Hecatia doesn't play by the rules and is someone who's "completely past the level of anyone in Gensokyo or the Lunar Capital".
315* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: According to her interview in ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'', she gained the title of "Goddess" by being the toughest being in Hell.
316* BerserkButton: Reimu and Sanae end up fighting her mainly because they insulted her choice of fashion.
317* BewareTheSillyOnes: Don't be fooled by her questionable fashion sense and overall silly demeanor, she's actually quite dangerous, though thankfully mostly benevolent.
318* BigBadDuumvirate: She and Junko both concocted the plan to invade the Lunar Capital in order to get at Chang'e. While Junko took the necessary measures to render the Moon inhospitable to the Lunarians and thus make them flee, Hecatia would position herself in the Dream World to ambush and trap the Lunarians in there.
319* BreakHerByTalking: Delivers a verbal beatdown on Aya Shameimaru during an interview with her in ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia''. During a set of questions about the Lunarians Hecatia brings up the possibility that Aya is being manipulated by them, mostly due to Aya's tendency to use yellow journalism in her articles. Hecatia then berates Aya for twisting the truth all the time and especially for doing so in her new magazine; she also states that Aya should be careful as the Lunarians (alluding to Sagume) can and will twist Aya's magazine into the real truth, which would have severe consequences. The interview is what causes Aya to cancel the ''Bunbunshun Shinpou'', citing her own research into Sagume as a reason.
320* TheCameo: Makes a brief appearance in Chapter 34 of ''Forbidden Scrollery'' in the same panel as Sumireko Usami as Reimu briefly recounts the events of their respective games.
321* ChainedByFashion: Has the Earth, Moon, and Otherworlds chained to her choker. It looks ridiculous, yes, but it's meant to represent her connection with all three worlds.
322* CombinationAttack: "First and Last Nameless Danmaku" alongside Junko.
323* CompositeCharacter: Seems to merge a couple roles the goddess Hecate had throughout history. See TruerToTheText below.
324* CreatorProvincialism: Despite being a Greek goddess, the globe worn by her earth body is centered on the Japanese archipelago.
325* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Her Earth body has blue hair and blue eyes, her Otherworld body has red hair and red eyes, and her Moon body has blonde hair and yellow eyes.
326* DimensionalTraveller: Easily and quite often travels between the Otherworlds.
327* DualBoss: Hecatia mostly fights by herself in the Extra stage boss fight, but lets Junko take her place for two spellcards. It's only during the final spellcard, "First and Last Nameless Danmaku", that they both get on-screen and attack you at once. Correspondingly, you have the option of draining either's health bar to end the boss fight. Marisa humorously calls them out on this.
328-->'''Marisa:''' Hey, you both attacked! That's playin' dirty!
329* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Hecatia ''adores'' Clownpiece, treating her subordinate as something of a surrogate daughter of sorts. [[spoiler:Her actions in ''Visionary Faires in Shrine'' turns out to be in part motivated by a desire to give Clownpiece a better home in the form of Gensokyo.]]
330* EvilRedhead: Her first body, which corresponds to the Otherworlds, has red hair, and her first impression is "villain".
331* EvilWearsBlack: Wears a black shirt and may be even worse than Junko, considering she doesn't have the sympathetic motive Junko does.
332* FashionVictimVillain: While her evilness is debatable, in-universe Reisen describes her as wearing a "weird outfit", and Sanae outright mocks her sense of fashion.
333* FlechetteStorm: Loads of kunai in her nonspells.
334* {{Foil}}: Is meant to contrast with Junko being so serious by being rather silly in demeanor.
335* FunTShirt: "Welcome ♥ Hell"
336* GodOfTheMoon: She's based on Hecate, who happens to be a Moon goddess, and has jurisdiction over the Moon's Hell.
337* GotTheWholeWorldInMyHand: And the Otherworlds, and the Moon.
338* GratuitousEnglish: Her shirt has "Welcome ❤️ Hell" written in plain English on it.
339* GreaterScopeVillain: She provided Junko with the means to carry out her plan to destroy the Lunar Capital in ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'', even loaning her [[TheDragon Clownpiece]]. Emphasis on ''Greater'' as she didn't actually intend for Gensokyo to be caught in the crossfire of her plan at all and any issues that are caused by her are merely collateral damage.
340* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The "ability to have three bodies" seems underwhelming for an EX boss. However, it should be noted that she ''is'' a [[OurGodsAreDifferent goddess]] on multiple worlds (and not a [[OddJobGods minor deity]] like the Aki Sisters, either), with the power level that entails. As it stands, her ability is mostly a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers necessity]] for managing multiple realms at once, but it also means she can kick your sorry ass three different ways. She ''could'' pull off a DoppelgangerAttack, too, but with each of her bodies being plenty powerful on its own, [[WillfullyWeak that would just be overkill]].
341* {{Hell}}: Oversees the hells of Earth, the Moon, and the Otherworlds.
342* JerkassGods: Sure, she acts friendly, but given how she's one of the few characters in the series to have plotted a genocide it's safe to say she's not one of the more benevolent gods.
343* HiveMind: She has three bodies. This allows her to exist on Earth, the Moon, and the Otherworlds at the same time.
344* HopeCrusher: In ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' this is what she claims is the purpose of siphoning excess seasonal energies from Gensokyo to hell. That by giving the denizens of hell a taste of what paradise is like it will make their tortures just that more effective.
345* IChooseToStay: Downplayed. According to her ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' interview, she's recently moved to Gensokyo, though it's only one of the places she lives.
346* KingOfAllCosmos: A very powerful and high-ranking god, but also in Sanae's words a "freaky T-shirt weirdo".
347* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHolq2IXCs8 "Pandemonic Planet"]]
348* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Eiki Shiki mentions in Chapter 5 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' that compared to Hell's other denizens, she's not really into committing evil. {{Subverted}}, at least according to Hecatia, that Hell (in the sense of the Underworld) was never really ''meant'' for the containment of evildoers or the punishment of sinners until the Ministry of Right and Wrong got there.
349* {{Lunacy}}: Referencing how Hecate is also known as a Moon Goddess, one of her Spell Cards harnesses the power of the moon... in the form of literal moons being thrown at the player.
350* MagicalBarefooter: She's a goddess who possesses immense mystical power, which is represented by her never wearing any footwear since the roughness of the ground doesn't affect her.
351* NumerologicalMotif: Three, in the form of her three bodies and the three spheres they all have. Natural given which goddess she's based on.
352* OurGodsAreDifferent: Unlike most gods in ''Touhou'', she's based on the Greek goddess [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hecate Hecate]] rather than a Shinto god. As a goddess of Hell, she's also far higher on the CelestialBureaucracy than Eiki, being in charge of all hells while Eiki is specifically assigned to a jurisdiction of hell that includes Gensokyo.
353* PerkyGoth: Dresses like a Hot Topic goth, planets aside, and is generally friendly in demeanor.
354* PowerDyesYourHair: Hair colour changes depending on the attack she's using.
355* PrimaryColorChampion: Her Hell, Earth, and Moon bodies have red, blue, and yellow hair and eyes respectively.
356* {{Protectorate}}: Mentions in ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'' that the main reason that the more belligerent denizens of Hell have not tried attacking Gensokyo is because it's under her protection, and Hecatia is way too strong for any of them to defeat.
357* RedEyesTakeWarning: She's got dark red eyes in her Otherworld body and she's a dangerous powerhouse.
358* RemoteBody: Has three separate bodies, one in each world (the Earth, the Moon, and the Otherworlds), all of which are capable of acting independently, likely a reference to the fact that the mythological Hecate was often described as three-formed-- Occassionally, her Underworld form was identified with Persephone, the other two forms identified with the moon goddess Selene, and Apollo's twin sister Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Her profile goes on to state "[S]ince the Moon, Earth, and Otherworlds each have their own Hell, and her core soul resides in Hell, she's a rather troublesome god who can't easily be retaliated against if viewed as an enemy."; what that means, exactly, is unclear.
359* RevengeByProxy: Wants revenge on Chang'e for Chang'e's ''husband'' shooting down nine suns, one of which was the Greek god Apollo, whose light was necessary to make the shadows of Hell seem deeper. Or, well, mostly it's just an excuse to help out her new friend Junko.
360* ScrewYouElves: Hecatia is of the opinion that Lunarians (''Touhou'''s own brand of SpaceElves) are a group of super-exclusive, elitist people whose specialty is looking down on others and who have created a false paradise for themselves. When she goes on to explain that they're enemies to Gensokyo and can't be trusted, [[ExplainExplainOhCrap she pauses and realizes]] that Aya might be under Sagume Kishin's influence, then goes off tangent on the topic, instead tearing down Aya's claim that she's reporting the truth in her newspaper. Upon getting defeated in the Extra stage, she only releases the Lunarians from her trap in the Dream World at the player character and Junko's requests; otherwise she'd be perfectly fine keeping them trapped in there.
361* SignatureHeadgear: Wears a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polos Polos]] that holds either the Moon, the Earth or the Otherworlds on its top; she can change which one it holds at will. Changing the planet on it also changes the color of her hair (Red with the Otherworlds, Blue with the Earth and Yellow with the Moon), likely referencing the fact that she has three different bodies (one for each world).
362* SplitPersonality: ZUN has [[TeasingCreator suggested]] that her personality changes with her hair color.
363* StarPower: A lot of her spellcards use star shaped bullets.
364* StealthMentor: Appears to be taking on this role to Clownpiece in ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', having asked her to make her home in Gensokyo for unknown reasons. Eiki Shiki theorizes in Chapter 5 it was probably just to give Clownpiece a better life, which is more or less confirmed in ''Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia'', where in an interview with Aya she mentions that she brought Clownpiece to Gensokyo as a reward for her performance in ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom''.
365* ThickerThanWater: Based on Hecate, who is often considered an aspect of Artemis, both a moon goddess and the twin sister of Apollo. At least part of her cooperation with Junko is likely fueled by her own personal grudge against Chang'e and the Lunarians.
366* TrueFinalBoss: ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom's'' Extra Stage is labelled as Stage 7 internally, and sure enough the fight with Hecatia serves as the true conclusion to the story. She even has the ''normal'' FinalBoss fighting alongside her.
367* TruerToTheText: Surprisingly close to both early representations of Hecate as, essentially, Persephone's PerkyGoth friend, and later (bar Hesiod) interpretations of Hecate as a profoundly powerful triple-bodied goddess. Hesiod presents Hecate as having some dominion over the Earth, the sky, and the sea, whereas later interpretations identified her individual forms with goddesses of the mortal plane, the Underworld, and the heavens. ZUN seems to have merged all these with Hecate's role as an Underworld goddess, assigning her a body to each world's individual Hell. Her [[AmbiguousSituation ambiguously defined relationship with the de facto authorities of Hell]] might be in reference to how it was never really clear where Hecate ranked relative to other gods, much less where she ''came from.'' Ironically, her most famous role in modern times, a goddess of magic, goes unmentioned. [[EveryoneIsASuper Given, it wouldn't be very impressive in Gensokyo.]]
368* ValleyGirl: She shows this in her speech and choice of clothing, most likely an effort to catch up to the modern world, in a particular way.
369* VillainHasAPoint: Trying to wipe out the Lunarians might be a bit much, but she's not wrong to view them as a highly elitist group of people and a potential threat to Gensokyo.
370* VillainousFriendship: Considers herself actual friends with Junko, and fights Marisa mainly because she fought Junko, though it's unknown if Junko herself fully reciprocates.
371* VillainTeamUp: ''Grimoire of Usami'' has her meet Okina and rampage across Gensokyo at her behest.
372* WillfullyWeak: While she can use all three of her bodies at once, she doesn't during her fights with the protagonists because that would just make the battle boring. According to ZUN she's also far more powerful than anyone in Gensokyo or the Lunar Capital, and was just playing around with Reimu and company.

375[[folder:Houyi]]
376::'''Houyi'''
377
378The legendary archer of Chinese mythology, as well as the husband of both [[Characters/TouhouOtherOfficialWorks Chang'e]] and Junko. In the past he killed Junko's son, earning him and Chang'e her eternal hatred.
379----
380* ADeadlyAffair: While not explicitly why he was killed, it's unclear if his simultaneous marriage to Junko and Chang'e was consented by either wife.
381* AssholeVictim: Given what we hear of him, his murder at Junko's hands was entirely deserved.
382* CompositeCharacter: Houyi is the legendary archer who shot the nine suns and also the husband of Chang'e. There's also another Houyi, the tyrannical ruler of Xia Dynasty China and husband of Chún Hú (AKA Junko). In ''Touhou'' he is both.
383* TruerToTheText: Because both mythological characters used the same exact name, they often became a CompositeCharacter in later myths and legends. Because of the [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve ways in which]] faith and belief function in the Touhou universe, it's logical for Houyi to be somehow both.
384* PosthumousCharacter: Junko already killed him ages ago, and now she's aiming for his other wife, Chang'e.
