16
17-->''"I've got way more power than I know what to do with. I feel like I could even become the god of the new world right now!"''
18
19A swallowtail butterfly fairy, normally gentle in temperament, who was turned berserk by the current incident. She represents growth and metamorphosis, and as a result represents the caterpillar, pupa, and adult stages of a butterfly all at once. When she senses danger, she releases smelly danmaku from her antennae.
20----
21* ADayInTheLimelight: Appears in Chapter 8 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', in which she details the story of Cirno's scenario in ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons'' to the Three Fairies.
22* AGodAmI: The incident has pumped her up so much so that she proudly boasts she could be the god of the new world. [[spoiler:And there is some credence to her statement as Cirno's Extra route has Okina speculate that the swallowtail butterfly fairy is in fact a Tokoyo no Kami (or God of the Everlasting World) and one of Okina's enemies. Whether this is a coincidence, AmnesiacGod, or ObfuscatingStupidity is anyone's guess.]]
23* AmbiguousSituation: ZUN leaves it ambiguous in ''Strange Creator of Outer World'' as to whether or not Okina was right that [[spoiler:Larva's actually a Tokoyo no Kami.]]
24* AnimalMotifs: Butterflies, in particular the Asian swallowtail butterfly.
25* ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:Once Okina learns that Larva's a swallowtail butterfly fairy, she suspects that she's the Tokoyo no Kami that acts as one of her enemies. It would, after all, explain how an idiot like Cirno found a way to counter her trap]].
26* DitzyGenius: Smarter than most fairies, but according to ZUN she feels that she's inconspicuous to humans while in flower gardens because of her insect-like looks, ignoring the fact that she's much larger than any non-youkai insect found in Gensokyo.
27* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Her title, her name, and her pronouncement of being the god of a new world, all hint to her true nature of being a God of the Everlasting World]].
28* GodWasMyCopilot: [[spoiler:Larva is based on [[https://academic.oup.com/ae/article-pdf/60/3/182/18756214/ae60-0182.pdf the swallowtail caterpillar that was worshipped by a short lived cult as Tokoyo no Kami, the God of the Everlasting World]]. As she's one of Okina's historical enemies[[note]]One of Okina's aspects is worshipped as a manifestation of Hata no Kawakatsu, the official who stopped the cult of Tokoyo no Kami (and the original user of Hata no Kokoro's masks)[[/note]], Okina suspects that she's the reason why Cirno was able to beat her in the EX stage]].
29* GracefulLoser: After losing to Cirno in her scenario, Eternity asks her to fight not only for herself, but for the sake of all fairies.
30* InstantExpert: In ''Manga/{{Visionary Fairies in Shrine}}'', her experience with "out-of-control life force" lets her quickly recognise the similar properties of Clownpiece's torch and even use it to make plants grow. Clownpiece's response is asking Larva to teach her how she did that.
31* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhmYiP2vDK4 "A Midsummer Fairy's Dream"]]
32* LittleBitBeastly: Combined with FurryReminder, she has butterfly wings and even the horn of a swallowtail butterfly caterpillar, which like the real thing unleashes a foul smell when she's scared.
33* MagicalBarefooter: She completely eschews any form of footwear, since as a flying magical NatureSpirit she has no need for foot protection. It also pulls double duty for EarthyBarefootCharacter due to her connection to nature.
34* NatureSpirit: As a fairy she's a nature spirit by default, but ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' suggests that she is unusual for understanding her influence over nature on a more conscious level than most fairies.
35* NiceGirl: Is described as normally very gentle in her character profile, and ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' depicts her as fairly nice and lacking much in the way of arrogance compared to Cirno or even the Three Fairies.
36* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She's a fairy, but her design looks more akin to that of an insect youkai. Also, unlike the other fairies seen up to this point, who represent different aspects of nature in a general sense (or in Clownpiece's case, minds), she's the first fairy to directly deal with animals, in this case the cycle of insect metamorphosis. In fact, when the Three Fairies first meet her in Chapter 8 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'', they initially have trouble believing she's a fairy because of how she looks.
37* RememberTheNewGirl: Cirno's been acquainted with Eternity for ages, but she's never shown up until this game.
38* RipVanWinkle: She's shown in the manga ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' to hibernate during winter, due to her aversion to cold weather. She maintains a fully stocked vacation home underground, and holes up in there during her hibernation. She even wraps herself up in a cocoon-like blanket in keeping with her butterfly nature.
39* ShoutOut:
40** After getting defeated in Reimu and Aya's scenarios, she mentions feeling like she could become "[[Manga/DeathNote the god of the new world]]" at the moment.
41** The title of her {{Leitmotif}} is a blatant reference to ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''.
42* SmarterThanYouLook:
43** [[spoiler:If the theory that Eternity is actually a manifestation of the Tokoyo no Kami who serves as Okina's enemy is correct, and she helped Cirno defeat her, she's far smarter than the average fairy, if she's even actually one to begin with.]]
44** In Chapter 10 of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' she easily dissuades Clownpiece from burning down the Hakurei Shrine by noting that all that would happen is everyone else at the party beating her up, showing a concept of self-preservation that fairies tend to lack, and reveals that she's capable of manipulating life energy by using Clownpiece's torch (which is made from the life-force of those who ended up in Hell).
45* SpannerInTheWorks: Okina suspects Larva of being one when she learns that she was helping Cirno. Fairies like Cirno are too idiotic to counter Okina's plan on her own. [[spoiler:The Tokoyo no Kami that served as Okina's enemy, on the other hand...]]
46* UnwittingPawn: Satono and Mai have been using her to spread seasonal energy around the Youkai Mountain's foothills without her knowledge.
47* WingedHumanoid: This is a given since she's a fairy, though unlike most fairies in ''Touhou'', her wings aren't transparent and are very clearly meant to resemble butterfly wings.

50[[folder:Nemuno Sakata]]
51[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touhou_sakata_nemuno.png]]
52
53:: ''The Mountain Hag Who Has Passed Beyond this Transient World''
54::'''Nemuno Sakata'''
55
56-->''"You're not s'posed t' be here. We made an agreement."''
57
58A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama-uba yamanba]], a youkai species who have taken up residence on Youkai Mountain and have a non-aggression pact in place with the tengu. Her power is the ability to create consecrated ground.
59----
60* BeenThereShapedHistory: Implied. She casually states that Marisa reminds her of Kintaro, implying that she is the Yamanba that raised him.
61* ChildEater: In Gensokyo at least, the yamanba [[SubvertedTrope don't actually do this]] despite [[MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold being commonly believed to]]. Instead they [[HermitGuru raise lost kids to the best of their abilities]].
62* CreepyGood: She definitely gives off an eerie impression with her pseudo-ragged clothes, uncomfortably staring eyes and massive meat cleaver. The names of her spellcards only compound the "murderous child-eating witch" impression. In truth, however, she's completely harmless to adults and actually helps lost children, while her fearsome appearance and demeanor are most likely a mask she uses to scare outsiders away, since she'd rather be left alone.
63* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite their fearsome reputation, Nemuno and other yamanba are actually mostly benign.
64* FlechetteStorm: A lot of her spell cards involve the use of lots of thrown knives.
65* {{Foil}}: Yamanba serve as this as a whole to the tengu, who they have a non-aggression treaty with, being intensely solitary youkai who care little for forming groups or societies, much unlike the gregarious and stratified tengu.
66* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: A cute girl with a giant meat cleaver.
67* TheHermit: As a general rule, yamanba prefer to keep to themselves, and don't even interact that much with one another. When they do bother to interact with others it tends to be in a very businesslike manner. Nemuno is a typical member of her species in this regard, having no interest in Gensokyo at large. In fact, she's so isolated that she doesn't have any idea about shrine maidens when Reimu tells her who she is, so she's likely been isolated long before the Great Hakurei Barrier was erected.
68* HolyGround: Nemuno's ability is the power to create consecrated ground.
69* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFtRP5enYAE "Encounter Deep in the Mountains"]], which starts out fearsome, but evolves into a more heroic-sounding tune, appropriate for Nemuno's creepy appearance versus her genuine personality.
70* MagicalBarefooter: Has bare feet that emphasize her nature as a recluse and supernatural creature, and yamanbas are [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama-uba#/media/File:Suushi_Yama-uba.jpg often drawn barefoot.]]
71* MakingASplash: Her Rain Sign "Captive Autumn Rain" and Rain Sign "Cursed Torrential Rain" spell cards are implied to use raindrops for danmaku.
72* PublicDomainCharacter: All but outright stated to be the adoptive Yamanba mother of Japanese folk hero Kintaro.
73* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted. While her eyes contribute to her unsettling appearance, she's actually a hermit with a soft spot for lost children.
74* ShoutOut: To the folk hero Kintaro, who took the name Sakata no Kintoki as an adult. She says Marisa reminds her of Kintoki, and her name implies she might have been the yamanba who raised him, putting her at over a thousand years old.
75* SwordBeam: Her Blade Sign "Yamanba's Kitchen Knife Sharpening" and Blade Sign "Yamanba's Oni Kitchen Knife Sharpening" spell cards have her create bullets by slashing her meat cleaver from side to side.
76* ToServeMan: Subverted; while it's believed that yamanba like herself eat humans that get lost in the mountains, and she threatens to eat Reimu and Marisa, in reality they send the adults back and raise the children as their own for unknown reasons.
77* UnwittingPawn: Satono and Mai have been using her to spread seasonal energy around the Youkai Mountain without her knowledge.
78* WickedWitch: A mountain hag, though she's not really wicked.
79* WildHair: Has messy, uneven grey hair coming down to about her waist.
80* WildMan: Has a rather savage appearance, including clothes stylized to appear ragged without actually being so.

83[[folder:Aunn Komano]]
84[[quoteright:154:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touhou_komano_aunn.png]]
85
86::''The Divine Beast Who Adores Gods''
87::'''Aunn Komano'''
88
89-->''"Good luck! I'll be cheering you on from the shadows!"''
90
91A [[AsianLionDogs komainu]] with the nature of both a shishi and komainu. She went to the Hakurei Shrine for the sake of a flower viewing, only for the latest incident to break out. Since then, she has stuck around the shrine as a helper and guard-dog for Reimu. Her power is the ability to find gods.
92----
93* AsianLionDogs: She's the Hakurei Shrine's komainu statue, brought to life in a LittleBitBeastly form by the overflow of seasonal energy during the game's plot.
94* BadassAdorable: She is ''adorable'' and, as ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'' demonstrates, no slouch when she goes all out in a fight.
95* BoisterousWeakling: Komainu and shishi are known for being enthusiastic guards, but they're generally weak, so they tend to lose.
96* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has green hair and eyes.
97* TheCutie: ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' depicts her as perpetually bubbly, enthusiastically helping out anyone in need without a second thought. When Sanae asks for help on preparing festivities for New Year's Day, Aunn is the only one at the Hakurei Shrine who comes to lend a hand; Sanae is surprised that Reimu ends up ignoring such an obedient, easy-to-handle guardian deity.
98* EvilDetectingDog: Tries telling Cirno in her scenario that she can sense an evil intent behind the increased power Cirno's gotten from the incident, but she leaves before Aunn can finish speaking.
99* GuardianEntity: As a komainu, it's in her nature to guard holy places such as shrines and temples, and she decides she wants to guard the Hakurei Shrine.
100* HornedHumanoid: Has a single horn atop her head.
101* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw9gNU0ZMX4 "A Pair of Divine Beasts"]]
102* LittleBitBeastly: She's got a horn and komainu ears, and the upper portion of her hair looks like a komainu mane. The music comments also mention she has a tail, which can be seen in ''Wild and Horned Hermit''.
103* MeaningfulName: Aunn refers to the super-syllable Aum/Om (ॐ), which represents both the end and the beginning in both Hinduism and Buddhism.
104* MesACrowd: Has the ability to create a copy of herself, which references how there are traditionally two komainu statues positioned at the entrance of Shinto shrines, though according to ''The Grimoire of Usami'' it tires her out so doesn't like using it for too long. It comes in handy during her story in ''Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost'', where Yacchie uses a pipe fox to lure Aunn far away so that she can't interfere in her attempt to destroy the Hakurei Shrine, only for Aunn to reveal her other body's still at the shrine.
105* NiceGirl: Has such a lack of malice that both Reimu and Marisa ''[[OOCisSeriousBusiness apologize]]'' for attacking her.
106* RecurringExtra: Aunn appears quite frequently throughout ''Lotus Eaters'', usually in background shots helping out around the Hakurei Shrine, but doesn't get a speaking line until a single flashback panel in Chapter 38.
107* RememberTheNewGirl: It's implied that Aunn has actually visited the Hakurei Shrine multiple times for its flower viewings but never formally introduced herself, so Reimu and Marisa don't recognize her despite Aunn greeting them like old friends in their scenarios. [[spoiler:This is because, as revealed in ''Wild and Horned Hermit'', she is actually [[AnthropomorphicPersonification the spirit of an old komainu statue on the Hakurei Shrine's grounds]] who was given physical form by the energy flowing from the back doors.]]
108* SimpleMindedWisdom: In ''Manga/WildAndHornedHermit'' chapter 43, after the Hakurei Shrine starts losing visitors to the Moriya Shrine's new ropeway, the protagonists build a series of gimmicky attractions on the grounds in an attempt to keep up. When this fails, Aunn advises Reimu to stop looking for a silver bullet and just work hard and honestly on running the best ''shrine'' she can. This strategy succeeds in earning Reimu a smaller but much more loyal group of worshippers... at least until Sanae tells her she's impressed, at which point she [[AesopAmnesia gets lazy and lets the shrine fall apart again.]]
109* ShoutOut: Her Dream Dog "101 Stray Dogs" Spell Card is a direct reference to ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians''.
110* SpectacularSpinning: Her Spinning Top "Koma-inu Spin" Spell Card has her spinning around.
111* UnusualEars: Has komainu ears, which appear to be made of stone.
112* UnwittingPawn: Satono and Mai have been using her to spread seasonal energy around the Hakurei Shrine without her knowledge.
113* WillfullyWeak: Unless she has ill will towards her target, Aunn doesn't use her full power.

116[[folder:Narumi Yatadera]]
117[[quoteright:211:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_th16narumi.png]]
118
119::''Magical Jizo who Manifested in the Forest''
120::'''Narumi Yatadera'''
121
122-->''"My, what's going on? I'm practically overflowing with magic power... I've just'' got ''to try this out on the human in front of me!"''
123
124A humanoid magician who was originally a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kshitigarbha#In_Japan Jizō statue]]. Due to the Forest of Magic's energy, she eventually took on the form she currently has. While she did notice the strange seasonal powers that radiated throughout the snowing forest, she was unaware that she herself was the source of it. Her power is to control living things using their life energy.
125----
126* ADayInTheLimelight: Shows up in Chapter 31 of ''Curiosities of Lotus Asia''.
127* BrickJoke: Marisa talking to her like an old friend may refer to Marisa stating that she likes to put funny hats on statues for Stage 4 of Imperishable Night as the Magic Team.
128* BodyHorror: Due to Okina's power, she has a ''door'' sprouting out of her back that constantly emits seasonal energy. Hilariously, the protagonist manages to get into Ushirodo-no-Kuni through said door, resulting in an amusing mental image of literally leaping into Narumi's back.
129* BornOfMagic: She was a jizo statue turned youkai by the Forest of Magic's energy.
130* FriendToAllChildren: ''100th Black Market'' reveals in its flavour-text that Narumi's day-job is overseeing the rock stacks Eika and other stillborn children erect on the Sai no Kawara, a reference to how jizo are the patron deities of stillborn children in Japanese folklore.
131* GiantFootOfStomping: The flavor text for her Jizo "Bodhi Stomp" spell card has a giant jizo statue attempt to stomp Sumireko flat.
132* GirlishPigtails: Has a pair of braided pigtails.
133* {{Golem}}: Since she's a stone statue that came to life, her profile describes her as being similar to a golem, which is referenced through her "Magic Sign 'Bullet Golem'" spell card.
134* TheHermit: According to Marisa in her scenario she prefers her solitude to interacting with others.
135* HomingProjectile: Her "Magic Sign 'Bullet Golem'" spell card and its variations have a large bullet following the protagonist. Sumireko's Spell Card comments in ''Violet Detector'' suggest that it might have some sort of living being inside, and ''The Grimoire of Usami'' confirms that all of Narumi's bullets are alive.
136* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfS5EeXWiOQ "The Magic Straw-hat Jizō"]]
137* LifeEnergy: Mentions to Cirno in her scenario that if she got serious she could use her power to control living things to completely nullify her, but Cirno being powered by seasonal energy renders her immune.
138* MageSpecies: A magician, though unlike the magicians we've seen beforehand, who were either humans who became youkai[[note]]Alice and Byakuren[[/note]] or born youkai magicians[[note]]Patchouli[[/note]], she's a jizo statue turned youkai by the Forest of Magic's energy, making her more akin to Eiki Shiki.
139* OddFriendship: Is apparently well-acquainted with the outgoing Marisa, despite her solitary nature.
140* PintSizedPowerhouse: Narumi is extremely short, yet is able to battle with the protagonists with ease.
141* PlayingWithFire: Her "Jizo 'Hellfire Salvation'" Spell Card uses fire bullets.
142* RememberTheNewGirl: Marisa actually knows her as a fellow magician, but claims that she prefers her solitude, hence why she's not encountered onscreen until her debut game.
143* SignatureHeadgear: Wears a large, snow-covered [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasa_(hat) ajirogasa]] with a frilled cloth inset of the sort commonly placed on jizo statue's heads.
144* SpannerInTheWorks: Mai unintentionally leaves the door on Narumi's back opened, allowing Reimu, Aya, and Marisa to get into the Ushirodo-no-Kuni.(Cirno gets in by using the door on her own back.) After the main game, Narumi allows the protagonists to go through the door again to defeat Okina for real in the Extra Stage.
145* SpiritedCompetitor: Apart from being goaded by Mai, Narumi decides to fight the protagonists because she wants to test her abilities.
146* SupernaturalSensitivity: Sensitive to magic.
147* TechnicolorEyes: Has red eyes.
148* UnusualEars: Outsized ears, as befitting a former Jizō statue.
149* UnwittingPawn: Satono and Mai have been using her to spread seasonal energy around the Forest of Magic without her knowledge.

152[[folder:The Backup Dancers]]
153::''The All-Too-Dangerous Backup Dancers''
154::'''Satono Nishida and Mai Teireida'''
155
156Two former humans who, as children, were selected to become Okina's subordinates. Due to Okina's magical influence, they're losing their nature as humans.
157
158!!!Common Tropes between both:
159* AmbiguouslyHuman:
160** They were originally human, but Okina's magic power is eroding that. However, they still retain their human personalities. ZUN even describes their species in their profiles as "Human (?)".
161** In ''The Grimoire of Usami'' Yukari describes them as being [[LiminalBeing stuck in the space between human and youkai.]]
162* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Their profile makes it clear - every element of their former human lives has been eroded away, becoming completely and utterly subservient to their God and dancing in joyful madness. It's to the point that they would not even care if Okina revealed her plans to dispose of and replace them.
163* CoDragons: To Okina, being her direct servants.
164* CombinationAttack: Their "Dance Sign 'Behind Festival'", "Mad Dance 'Tengu Odoshi''", "Mad Dance 'Fearsome Tengu Frenzy'", and "Bullet Dance 'Twin Typhoons'" spell cards have them attacking together.
165* DanceBattler: Dancing is quite literally their ''job''. It even ties into their actual abilities!
166* DistinctionWithoutADifference: Constantly claim that they didn't "cause" the incident. The overpowered fairies and youkai did. They just boosted their powers.
167* DualBoss: They both face you as the Stage 5 bosses, and as the Extra Stage midbosses.
168* {{Foreshadowing}}: Their "Mad Dance 'Tengu-odoshi'" spell card references the festival of the same name, foreshadowing their connection to Okina aka Matara-jin, and the enmity between her and the tengu that gets referenced in Aya's scenario.
169* TheHeavy: Most of the plot takes place because of them, as they were the ones that drew out the fairies and others' powers, which ended up causing the changes in seasons. In Stage 4, Mai dances behind the Stage Boss to give her power in a fight against you.
170* HumanoidAbomination: Due to their identity as humans being slowly eroded by Okina's power, they're on their way to becoming something human-shaped but not truly human at all.
171* LegacyCharacter: After Marisa beats Okina in the Extra Stage, she asks whether she wants to be a Nishida or a Teireida. This implies there have been other Nishidas and Teireidas before Satono and Mai.
172* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdsAE6gwoyo "Crazy Backup Dancers"]]
173* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Okina doesn't tell them that her plan is to look for replacements for them. They do what they have to, but have no idea on the why.
174* MarriedToTheJob: Both Satono and Mai show [[BlindObedience utmost but blind devotion]] to Okina, and even if they were aware of Okina's plan to find successors to them, they would ''still'' carry out their job.
175* OurGodsAreDifferent: Are based on the servants of Matara-jin, Nishita and Teireita, Satono carrying the ginger shoot and Mai the bamboo shoot. Together with Matara-jin they represent the three poisons of Buddhism; greed, hatred, and delusion.
176* PiecesOfGod: Their strengths and abilities are nothing more than an extension of Okina's own, making them some sort of divine equivalent to shikigami.
177* PreFinalBoss: They serve as the Extra Stage midbosses.
178* RedOniBlueOni: Zigzagged. While Mai is the foolish one, she is still calculated in what she does, and while Satono is the more concentrated of the two, she tends to be overconfident.
179* SatelliteCharacter: Being effectively mindless puppets, the two are written more as extensions of Okina than characters in their own right.
180* SignatureHeadgear: They don matching hikitate eboshi hats.

185
186-->''"Oh, Mai. You're such a scatterbrain. You went and pulled a human in before the order even arrived..."''
187
188One of Okina's servants, her power is drawing out people's mental energy by dancing behind them.
189----
190* GameBreakingBug: In a previous version, in Spell Practice only, Satono leaves when shot down, without ending the Spell, leaving you to wait until the timer runs out and promptly fail. During another Card, shooting her down would crash the game.
191* PsychicPowers: Draws out people's mental energy by dancing behind them.
192* RecurringBoss: Shows up as both the Stage 5 midboss, then the Stage 5 boss, and finally as one of the Extra Stage midbosses.
193* StupidityInducingAttack: Her ability may be this, or a form of ManaDrain to complement Mai's LifeDrain.
194** It's worth noting that the term "seishin-ryouku" (精神力) can be translated as "emotional strength" or "force of [one's] will".

199
200-->''"Eh, well! The tide should turn in our favor now, anyway. I did a real spectacular job out there, after all."''
201
202The other of Okina's servants, her power is drawing out people's vitality by dancing behind them.
203----
204* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Mai's a scatterbrain.
205* LetsYouAndHimFight: Or rather, "her". Mai invokes it by goading Narumi into fighting Reimu and Cirno in their scenarios.
206* LifeEnergy: Draws out people's vitality by dancing.
207* MeaningfulName: "Mai" means "dance".
208* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The protagonist could never have solved the incident without Mai forgetting to close the door on Narumi's back leading to Ushirodo-no-Kuni behind her.
209* OneSteveLimit: She shares the same first name with another character from ''Mystic Square.'' The difference between the two is that ''Mystic Square'' Mai is written in katakana (マイ) whereas this character is written in kanji (舞).
210** Interestingly, both Mais are [[DualBoss dual bosses]], Mai with Yuki and Mai with Satono.
211* RecurringBoss: Shows up as the Stage 4 midboss, then as one of the Stage 5 bosses, then finally as one of the Extra Stage midbosses.
212* StarPower: Her "Bamboo Sign 'Tanabata Star Festival'" spell card directly references Tanabata.

220::''The Ultimate, Absolute Secret God''
221::'''Okina Matara'''
222
223-->''"See it! Hear it! Speak of it! The secret god's true magic power shall be your greatest impediment!"''
224
225A so-called "secret god" who is one of the sages that helped to create Gensokyo. Through her heavily-concealed actions as a god, she ensures the protection of Gensokyo from any force who seeks to gain control of it. Her ability is to create 'backdoors' on any object; [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway while this does sound very strange as a power]], said doors lead to her secret world, the Ushirodo-no-Kuni (The Land of the Rear Door), which allows her, or her servants, Satono and Mai, to reach into any possible space in Gensokyo.
226----
227* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Okina's true form is never to be seen, heard, or spoken of. [[spoiler:In a subversion, she reveals it during ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons'''s extra stage, and... it's just the same as the face she shows publicly, a mish-mash of other gods' forms.]]
228* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: Throughout the fight, Okina and the protagonist go through {{Portal Door}}s into, and fight within, the season-themed stages you previously went through.
229* AmbiguouslyEvil: Even more so than the usual Touhou final boss because she admits to intentionally giving off this vibe. [[spoiler:While she still is very much AffablyEvil she muses a couple times to Reimu in Chapter 42 of ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' that she could remake Gensokyo from the ground up if she wanted to. And with her ability to essentially create entirely new Youkai like Aunn, she is likely not bluffing. The whole meeting turns out to be a very sobering experience for Reimu, both literally and figuratively]]. In the ''Grimoire of Usami'', she shows an '''extremely''' cruel and apathetic side, surpassing the already capricious Yukari, suggesting she's genuinely evil.
230* AmbiguousSituation: She decides to keep her current dancers at the end of the game. Whether it's because she likes having them around or replacing them isn't worth the trouble is unknown. Furthermore, her plan to change them could be either because she wants to stop them from turning into {{Humanoid Abomination}}s or simply because she is tired of them. However, ''Grimoire of Usami'' has her act extremely callous towards them, treating them as simple tools fit only to do their job, and even wondering if she should discard them when they don't satisfy her expectations when it comes to creating madness. WordOfGod also confirms that she hasn't stopped searching for potential replacements either, and in fact her reason for being involved in ''Violet Detector'' was because she considered Sumireko a candidate.
231* AnimalMotifs: Downplayed, but the above quote alludes to the [[MonkeyMoralityPose Three Wise Monkeys]], who trace their origins back to Tendai Buddhism and Koushin beliefs, both of which have ties to Matara-jin.
232* AnthropomorphicPersonification: ZUN's comments in her ''Who's Who of Humans and Youkai in Gensokyo'' article states that she embodies the concept of disability.
233* ArcWords: The word "Hidden" is in almost all of her spell cards as the Final Boss, while the word "Secret" is used in most of her spell cards as the Extra State Boss. Both refer to her status as a mysterious god.
234* AssimilationBackfire: {{Invoked|Trope}} in the Extra Stage, where the protagonist counteracts Okina's ability to absorb their seasonal energy by chanelling ''doyou'', [[ThePowerOfTheVoid the transitional period between seasons]]. [[VillainRespect Okina congratulates them on this strategy]], stating that absorbing it would amount to poisoning herself.
235* AttentionWhore: Wants to make a big show of herself and have everyone remember her. ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' puts an interesting twist on things: while she's made her big splash for this era, no-one really understands what happened... which is what she wants, since it's because the rest is mysterious that it becomes sacred.
236* BigBad: While her evilness is not quite clear, she is the driving force behind this game's events.
237* BiggerOnTheInside: Backdoors of any size can lead into the vast space of the Ushirodo-no-Kuni, even ones as small as the one attached to Narumi's back.
238* TheChessmaster: She acts as one in ''[[VideoGame/TouhouGouyokuIbunSunkenFossilWorld Sunken Fossil World]]''. [[spoiler:Knowing both the fact that Yuuma Toutetsu would become absolutely unstoppable if she were to successfully succeed in absorbing all of the cursed petroleum and the desires contained within it, and also Yuuma's ability to gain strength from the things she absorbs meaning that [[NoSell she'd be unable to take any form of damage]], Okina decides to convince Flandre to use her abilities to deal with Yuuma. She leaks Yuuma's plan to the surface and causes the oil to gush up everywhere in order to lead Gensokyo's strongwomen to the Hell of Blood Pools, and thus Yuuma, to have them engage in a HopelessBossFight with her. By doing this, Okina draws in Flandre with the allure that "nobody else in Gensokyo could beat Yuuma except you".]]
239* CompositeCharacter: To go with her nature as an [[OddJobGods Odd Jobs God]], Okina combines elements of Yukari (leitmotif, abilities and position), Koishi (color scheme), and Junko (general design). Some minor elements come from Byakuren, with the symbols on her door in the extra stage being the same as those on the Sorcerer's Sutra Scroll, and Miko, as Okina shares her Spell Card background.
240* CosmicMotifs: Is, just like her namesake, heavily associated with the Big Dipper, which, aside from covering a wide plethora of associations and esoteric subjects in Japanese astrology (Destiny, the Emperor, Buddha, etc) and tying Okina to another dozen-or-so deities (the Seven Divine Mothers, Myoken, Buddha, etc), has also been revealed in ''Double Spoiler'', and expanded upon in ''Manga/WildAndHornedHermit'', to be identified as the youkai constellation "Tenryuu," the King of Constellations, a Heavenly Dragon said to be moving in order to devour the North Star itself, causing an event that will make Heaven and Earth tremble.
241* CreatingLife: In Chapter 42 of ''Wild and Horned Hermit'', she reveals that [[spoiler:her spreading of magical energy through a komainu statue at the Hakurei Shrine is what gave form to Aunn. Then she states that she essentially has the power to create new Youkai with a snap of her fingers. An ability that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness visibly makes Reimu nervous]]]].
242* CruelToBeKind: Despite seeming more in the vein of JerkassGods, this is what her actions in ''Violet Detector'' seem to boil down to, [[spoiler:with her empowering Sumireko's out of control dream soul and then stripping it of her blessings for Sumireko to destroy it]].
243* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blonde hair and yellow eyes.
244* DePower: Her final attack on Stage 6 includes stripping the player of their powers, leaving them with 0.00 power and unable to collect more power again as she has stolen their sub-weapon to make her final spell card.
245* DependingOnTheArtist: ZUN's original idea for her in ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons'' was to have her in a wheelchair, but he changed his mind for the final game and had her standing up, as he felt it would be difficult for him to address directly, not being personally affected. Aya Azuma follows the game's lead, having her standing and walking in ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' and ''Grimoire of Usami'', while Makoto Hirasaka in ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' and Mizutaki in ''Lotus Eaters'' use her original concept, having her in a wheelchair.
246* DidntSeeThatComing:
247** In the Extra Stage, the protagonists fight her using [[ThePowerOfTheVoid the energy of the boundary between the seasons]]. Since this is something Okina never saw coming, she was eventually defeated.
248** Cirno's route had two. The first thing was Cirno herself, since the last thing she expected was that Cirno, a mere fairy, would be able to challenge her as a result of the seasonal energy powering up Cirno. The second was Cirno's friend and helper Eternity Larva [[spoiler:[[GodWasMyCopilot possibly being the Tokoyo no Kami]] that served as one of Okina's enemies]], providing Cirno a way to counter Okina's trap and ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu defeat]]'' her.
249* DisabledDeity: She's been portrayed both standing and walking, and using a wheelchair, in her official appearances, pointing to her being a wheelchair user with some degree of independent mobility (which is TruthInTelevision, as wheelchair users range the spectrum in how much they need their chair); given what she's shown herself capable of, this also makes her a HandicappedBadass. Out of universe, her use of a wheelchair represents her being a god of the disabled.
250** Though ZUN's comments in her ''Who's Who of Humans and Youkai'' article implies that she doesn't actually need the wheelchair, and it may be more to complete her image as a god of disabilities.
251-->'''ZUN:''' "By the way, Okina is shown to be standing up in the Extra Stage, so it isn't that she actually has any leg impairments. She isn't saying that she ''has'' a disability, but that she ''is'' disability, and that such a disability is a necessary thing for this world."
252* EnergyAbsorption: Because the protagonists' ability to absorb seasonal energy [[SuperEmpowering comes from her doors]], she is capable of taking that energy for herself. However, she can't absorb the energies of ''doyou'' ([[ThePowerOfTheVoid the period between seasons]]) [[AssimilationBackfire safely]], which is used against her.
253* {{Expy}}: Her role in the game is pretty much ZUN's response to [[VideoGame/LenEn JynX's Tsurubami Senri]], as both are powerful individuals and the culprits of their respective games. Like Tsurubami, Okina is secretly messing with some of Gensokyo's inhabitants to see if one of them is capable of taking a certain special job (in Okina's case, as her servant). Unlike Tsurubami, however, Okina's true main goal is making every single inhabitant of Gensokyo (including her fellow sages Yukari and Kasen) remember her name as one of the creators of Gensokyo. Also, while Okina is also not well liked, at least she's less oppressive and iron-fisted than Tsurubami.
254* FinalBoss: She's the final obstacle you face in ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons''.
255* FlightStrengthHeart: Her main ability may seem underwhelming for a final/extra boss, who are typically clear SuperpowerLottery winners. However, she is also a seemingly high-level goddess, with the magical power that entails - by her own declaration, she could remake Gensokyo from the ground up.
256* {{Foil}}:
257** To the Tengu. Aya comments that all Tengu were born from "the people of Hindrances." But there were some that "hid behind Buddha in human settlements", and Okina is related to this.
258** To Yukari. Both are morally ambiguous, ancient beings who were involved in the creation of the Great Hakurei Barrier, have powers that can be used to create portals, and are among the highest authorities in Gensokyo. However, Yukari, for all her capriciousness, can always be counted on to protect the Great Hakurei Barrier and will often serve as a MysteriousBacker for [[TheHeroine Reimu]], whereas Okina's actions are done to serve her own ego just as much as, if not more than, they benefit Gensokyo and is without a doubt a '''much''' more vile individual.
259* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Okina is not well liked by Gensokyo's own, even with her fellow sages. Reimu seems less than pleased when she shows up to their flower viewing and acts uncomfortable around her, while Kasen explicitly states to Aya that she had the ''displeasure'' of meeting her. She and Yukari are able to be civil with one another when interacting in ''Grimoire of Usami'', however.
260* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:''Sunken Fossil World'' was almost entirely her doing. While Yuuma is the source of the incident that needs to be stopped, her scheme was only in the "gathering petroleum" phase and hadn't yet disturbed the surface. The oil spills on the surface were Okina's doing to make Gensokyo's incident resolvers ''think'' Yuuma tampering with the Hell of Blood Pools was causing the spills, knowing full well they'd ultimately '''fail''' to suppress Yuuma [[NoSell due to her ability to absorb everything she touches]]. This allows Okina to recruit [[PersonOfMassDestruction Flandre]] with the promise of DefeatingTheUndefeatable, so Flandre and Okina ultimately resolve the incident, [[TheBadGuyWins and Okina gets everything she wanted out of it]] -- joint ownership of the Hell of Blood Pools and a powerful new ally in Yuuma.]]
261* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: On paper, the ability to create backdoors on anything's back seems [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway pretty lame]], to the point that the fandom has taken to calling Okina "{{Nerf}}ed Yukari" (her entire ability equates to just one application of Yukari's power, and even then she needs to stick her doors on the back of things while Yukari can pop her gaps anywhere, even in thin air). That being said, the backdoors she can create not only function as {{Portal Door}}s, but can be used to emit things such as LifeEnergy into Gensokyo. [[spoiler:And she can use the energy they emit to create new youkai]]. Also, "anything's back" includes ''people'', and she can do this at any time; she ''will'' find someone she's looking for, no matter how much they don't want to be found.
262* HiddenHeartOfGold: While [[spoiler:allowing the Human Village's Zashiki-Warashi to move into her realm and use its doors to perform their tasks more efficiently]] could be chalked up to intelligent pragmatism, she admits to a confused Reimu that [[spoiler:she's come to genuinely enjoy their presence]].
263* HopelessBossFight: Her final attack in the main game is played up as this, as she manages to weaponize the player character's sub-season against her to create an extremely difficult attack that most players wouldn't get past with ease. Eventually, the player characters manage to defeat her for real in the Extra Stage.
264* IHaveManyNames: Apparently, she has showed herself as a god many times and as a god of many different things throughout the ages, and though none of these names are revealed in the game, the god she's based upon, Matara-jin, is also said to be, through syncretization, Okuninushi, a.k.a. Daikokuten, the original owner of [[Characters/TouhouKishinjouDoubleDealingCharacter the Miracle Mallet]], the father of [[Characters/TouhouFuujinrokuMountainOfFaith Take-Minakata]] and the deity who saved the life of [[Characters/TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight the White Hare of Inaba]], as well as Hata no Kawakatsu, the man [[Characters/TouhouShinreibyouTenDesires a certain Crown Prince]] commissioned to invent a performance art using [[Characters/TouhouSideGames a certain set of masks]].
265* InsistentTerminology: Quite insistent on being referred to as a god as opposed to a youkai.
266-->'''Okina''' (in Reimu's extra stage)''':''' I'm not a youkai, I'm a god!
267* ItsAllAboutMe: Despite her claims of serving the aims of Gensokyo, her dialogue and activities make it clear she ultimately does all she does to serve her own godly ego, to the point of seeing Gensokyo as little other than another extension of her dominion that she could reshape entirely if she wishes. When she meets Clownpiece, she is offended not because of Hecatia's manipulations endangering Gensokyo, but out of a perceived trespassing on her domain. Indeed, come the ''Grimoire of Usami'', she happily invites Clownpiece's master to rampage through Gensokyo, solely for her own amusement.
268* JerkassGods: Bordering on a full GodOfEvil as one of her domains is madness, her activities in the ''Grimoire of Usami'' reveal she cares almost nothing for the lives of Gensokyo's inhabitants, is foul to her servants, and even happily invites Hecatia, who she previously considered an enemy, to rampage throughout the land. Tellingly, ZUN refers to her as a classic god, being cruel to those who reject her and charitable to those who worship and revere her.
269* {{Leitmotif}}:
270** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTLz5k-3R9s "The Concealed Four Seasons"]] as the FinalBoss, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzCfAU-O1bU "Secret God Matara ~ Hidden Star in All Seasons"]] as the TrueFinalBoss.
271* LetsGetDangerous: As the TrueFinalBoss, she leaves her throne and her hair grows out, meaning she means business now.
272* LifeEnergy: At some point, she gained a mysterious power to control vitality and mental energy.
273* TheLonelyDoor: Her power usually manifests itself as doorways in thin air or on people's backs.
274* MeaningfulName: To an extent not seen since Fujiwara no Mokou. Her given name, "Okina" (隠岐奈) refers to the ''noh'' mask Okinamen (翁面), a smiling, bearded old man said to represent a Buddhist god, possibly even Hata no Kawakatsu himself, who's often conflated with Matara-jin. However, Okina's name is written using the same kanji as the ones used when writing "Oki Islands," (隠岐諸島) the setting of ''the White Hare of Inaba'' and also where Lafcadio Hearn wrote a month's worth of content for the book ''Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan.'' Additionally, the kanji carry some significance by themselves, too: 隠 (o) means hidden, which is meaningful enough when it comes to Okina, but it's also the etymological root to 鬼 (oni), tying into how Matara-jin was said to be a demon of the yaksha caste. 岐 (ki) means theatre, which ties into Okina's role as the goddess of ''noh,'' but it may also be an allusion to the kunado-no-kami (岐の神), the gods of crossroads, Matara-jin being said to have been one of their number. Finally, 奈 (na) could allude to naraka/hell, trying into Matara-jin's role as the Yama's secretary, but it may also refer to a theatre's basement, once again tying into the ''noh'' motifs.
275* NeckLift: [[spoiler:During the conclusion of ''Visionary Fairies in Shrine'' she grabs Clownpiece by the neck and lifts her up, telling her to tell her boss that there is a secret god (i.e., herself) hiding in Gensokyo]].
276* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' Okina is drawn in a distinctly more menacing manner than the other characters.
277* NotMeThisTime: She's the accused culprit and final boss of [[spoiler:Yuuma's route in ''Sunken Fossil Record'' as Yuuma assumed that she was the one sending people onto tours of Bloodpool Hell. Only after the battle do they learn the Yorigami Sisters were the true culprits]].
278* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: In the ''Grimoire of Usami'', she reveals the true depth of her apathy to the inhabitants of Gensokyo, proudly declaring the task of her minions being to spread madness and eagerly asking Hecatia to rampage across the world as she desires after Okina herself invites her. When Junko shows up and appears to be attempting to kill the entire audience, Yukari, another morally ambiguous character, gets up to protect them, while Okina keeps joyously spectating.
279* OddJobGods: Much like her conceptual inspiration, [[http://tinyurl.com/y9mr8hby Matara-jin]], Okina is the god of multiple specific concepts - an 'earth mother' goddess, a god of back doors, a god of stars, a god of hindrances, a god of silkworm breeding, a god of ''noh'', a god of ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burakumin burakumin]]'', etc. ZUN also mentions that she's a god of the disabled in a ''Strange Creators of Outer World'' interview on ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons''.
280* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:Her final phase in ''Sunken Fossil World'' has he releasing her true form, a featureless white figure channelling power out of a door leading into a pale void.]]
281* OrcusOnHerThrone: In both a literal and metaphorical sense. While Okina has the powers to do many of the things she can do by herself, she assigns many of her more basic and menial actions to Satono and Mai instead. She also sits on a throne during her appearance in Stage 6; ZUN mentions in the ''Hidden Star in Four Seasons'' ''Strange Creators of Outer World'' interview that her throne was originally meant to be [[DisabledDeity a wheelchair to represent Okina being a god of the disabled]], an idea that ZUN would later bring back for Okina's appearances in ''Manga/{{Visionary Fairies in Shrine}}'' and ''[[Manga/TouhouSuichoukaLotusEaterTachiNoSuisei Lotus Eaters]]''.
282* OurGodsAreDifferent: A hidden god who lurks behind all things in creation, based on the Shinto deity Matara-jin, who is also known as "the god of the back door", and is believed to have been possibly syncretized with Daikokuten of the Seven Lucky Gods, who themselves was derived from Mahakala, the Buddhist version and one of the other names of the Hindu god Shiva.
283* OxymoronicBeing: A secret god who's not hidden.
284* PetTheDog: While Okina is even more ruthless than Yukari's worst days, and often cartoonishly callous towards the realm she claims to protect, she does have a genuine, albeit '''''deeply''''' hidden soft side. In ''Lotus Eaters'' Chapter 24, [[spoiler:she happily allows the Human Village's Zashiki-Warashi to move into Ushirodo-no-Kuni and use her infinite doors to perform their tasks remotely, even telling Reimu they were the ones to suggest the idea, and that [[GoodFeelsGood she actually likes having them around]]]].
285* PortalCrossroadWorld: Ushirodo-no-Kuni (The Land of the Rear Door) is this, filled with countless doors that go everywhere.
286* PortalDoor: Her ability allows her to create doors leading to other locations on the back of anything.
287* PowerNullifier: In her final attack, she is immune to the damage from bombs; however, the bombs still work to clear the screen and last the normal amount of time.
288* RememberTheNewGirl:
289** In Reimu's Extra scenario, she indirectly mentions Yukari and her manipulation of boundaries, implying she knew her at some point during the creation of the Great Hakurei Barrier. [[spoiler:There's an implication that Yukari helped Reimu by suggesting she use the "boundary between seasons" to defeat her.]]
290** Kasen's an old acquaintance of hers, and knows her well enough to make a good guess at how she thinks.
291* SignatureHeadgear: Her hat is based upon the traditional, iconic officials cap of Shinra Myoujin of Mt. Hiei, another one of Matara-jin's identities. The hat itself symbolizes a mountain or three.
292* SlouchOfVillainy: During her fight in stage 6, she doesn't even bother standing up from her chair and fights you while sitting, only standing up during the Extra stage. Amusingly, this is the only thing Cirno remembers about her in the Extra stage, so she tries to push her away to find the person who she fought.
293* SuperEmpowering:
294** Can use her backdoors to do this ''en masse'', having powered up Gensokyo's fairies this way.
295** In ''Sunken Fossil World'' she enhances Flandre's powers with the power of the rear door.
296* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Has yellow eyes and happens to be a god.
297* TechnicolorFire: The concentrated amounts of seasonal energy that surround her appear like this, with pink being spring, green being summer, cyan being winter, and orange being autumn.
298* ThinkingUpPortals: Able to travel anywhere she likes using her ability to create {{Portal Door}}s.
299* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the Tomboy {{Foil}} to Yukari's Girly Girl whenever they're together as a duo. Yukari wears an elegant dress usually with a pair of fancy shoes and frilly socks, while Okina dresses in a more gender neutral tabard and a pair of black boots. Yukari has a very whimsical personality and although she freely manipulates others, she seems to prefer the path that least threatens Gensokyo's balance and inhabitants, while Okina tends to be much more ruthless in her machinations.
300* TokenEvilTeammate: Okina is the most morally dubious of the Gensokyo Sages seen so far. While both Yukari and Kasen have their AmbiguouslyEvil moments, both usually have good or understandable intentions behind what they do, while Okina's motives are much murkier. Yukari even gets involved to stop her machinations in ''Grimoire of Usami''.
301* TrueFinalBoss:
302** Okina uniquely [[BreakingOldTrends breaks tradition]] by not being "defeated" in her Stage 6 fight. Her Extra Stage fight is the actual final fight of the main story.
303** [[spoiler: She takes this role again in Version 1.11 of ''Sunken Fossil World'', being fought at the end of Yuuma's story.]]
304* WeaponizedTeleportation: At the end of Stage 6, she uses the backdoor on the protagonist's back to banish them back to the place they were drawing seasonal energy from (after [[EnergyAbsorption helping herself to the energy they gathered]]). In the Extra Stage they manage to shut this down by channeling ''[[ThePowerOfTheVoid doyou]]'', which doesn't correspond to any one location.
