Being based on the Touhou Project universe, Rumia Quest has numerous characters, most of which are developed from their in-game personalities. Refer to: Touhou Project if you want basic backgrounds and general tropes for the characters.
Rumia
Rumia goes through three key phases of development, and each is different
- Youkai of Darkness
- Rumia
Rumia in the early arcs, largely based on Canon Rumia.
Tropes associated with Rumia before she gained control of her powers [RQ 1~4 period]:
- Battle in the Center of the Mind: Without her seal; she experiences this
- Biblical Motifs: Her default pose has her arms reached out, as if she is on a cross.
- Bird Run: See Biblical Motifs.
- Catchphrase: 'Is that so~'
- Casting a Shadow: Manipulation of darkness. It didn't come with the Required Secondary Powers initially, so she couldn't see in her own darkness, although she gains this before the start of Arc 2.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Not very smart at all, and has a child-like mentality. Although she gets better as she regains intelligence along with her powers. In RQ 1, she forgot a frozen frog was going to be her dinner and made it a pet. While calling it 'Dinner' as a name.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Youkai of Darkness? She's the main character!
- Deadly Upgrade: If her life is in danger, she can remove her sealing ribbon, to unleash her true power. However, this also releases the insanity, and givers her only seconds before she loses it for good.
- De-power: She has been, heavily. However only a handful know it.
- Good Feels Good: A major reason why Rumia keeps getting involved in incidents after her first minor one.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Used to be until Reimu beat her up
- Let's Get Dangerous!: Dark Energy, which Rumia gets some command over thanks to Seiga. It's a highly volatile substance that Rumia has far from full control over.
- Noble Demon: She's not actually a Youkai; but a Demon
- Player Character: Yep
- Plot Device: Her ribbon is a seal.
- Plot-Relevant Age-Up: As Rumia's powers begin to unseal; she goes from looking like a child to a teenager.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: 'True' Rumia.
- Took a Level in Badass: Basically the whole premise of her slowly regaining her powers.
- With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The result of her unsealing herself for too long.
- Demon of Darkness
- Unsealed Rumia
Covers Rumia between her unsealing and the death of her Dark Side.
- Achilles' Heel : Two; her stamina issues; and if there are no natural shadows around [As Yorihime took advantage of]
- Battle in the Center of the Mind: If she uses too much of her power; or is within Makai for too long; her true self tries to take over
- Biblical Motifs: Even unsealed; she keeps her default pose. She also adds Dark Energy crosses after encountering Yumemi.
- Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Using the 'Chains of the 9th Circle', which belong to Dark Rumia. They give her a way back to control...
- Dark Is Not Evil:: Still a youkai of Darkness. Well... Demon.
- Eccentric Mentor: To Renko and Maribel; crossed with Magical Guardian.
- Good Thing You Can Heal: Rumia tends to take advantage of her ability to regenerate at times in making reckless attacks
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Despite being useless for disorienting most foes due to them being youkai, thus having night vision, Rumia can use her 'Absolute control of darkness' to meld into the shadows for evasion and stealth purposes, and can use natural darkness to heal herself quickly. The darkness also proves very useful against Yumemi.
- Healing Factor: Can regenerate fresh injuries swiftly in natural shadows; however; it consumes her stamina quickly
- It's All My Fault: Goes into this during Daiyousei Quest, not showing up until the finale, because she is blaming herself for Yukari's death.
- Lightning Bruiser: Swift movement, high physical strength [Especially when amplified by Chi]; and Dark Energy
- Plot-Powered Stamina: Rumia's stamina is only as high as most other youkai, but she burns through it rather quickly.
- Plot-Relevant Age-Up: Rumia appears like a late teen/young adult during this time.
- Power Copying: Rumia has a Marisa-like habit of making similar attacks to other people
- Power Gives You Wings: Can make a pair of wings of Dark Energy, purely for show, although it generally happens when she is using a large amount of power. The wings gain blue markings similar to Shinki's own wings when she receives an infusion of power from her, as well as a 2nd pair.
- Religious Bruiser: While she's not as devout as the others; she does take on Taoism to help deal with her Evil side; as well as help get more control over her darkness powers while also improving some of her light-based danmaku such as Moonlight Ray; as well as regularly using Chi to empower her physical strength.
- Shadow Walker: Only with natural shadows however; she uses this most notably to infiltrate the Moon.
- Surpassed the Teacher: To Seiga regarding Dark Energy due to regaining her powers.
- The Tease: Some elements of this towards Rika, verbally only. Loves to take advantage of Rika's flustered moments and make her worse.
- Troll: Having Yukari go into her head led to Rumia doing this a fair bit more, although part of her taking on of Yukari's habits may also be due to guilt.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Her ability of 'absolute control of darkness' is pretty useless when most youkai have strong enough senses that even if they cannot see in Rumia's total darkness, they can still sense perfectly fine. She usually ends up relying on her danmaku; physical strength or Dark Energy to actually fight.
- Queen of Darkness
- Rumia
- Achilles' Heel : Two; her stamina issues; and if there are no natural shadows around [As Yorihime took advantage of]
- Biblical Motifs: Even now; she still keeps her default 'Saint was Crucified' pose. She claims it's subconscious.
- Dark Is Not Evil:: Still a youkai of Darkness. Well... Demon.
- Eccentric Mentor: To Renko and Maribel; crossed with Magical Guardian.
- Good Thing You Can Heal: Rumia tends to take advantage of her ability to regenerate at times in making reckless attacks
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Despite being useless for disorienting most foes due to them being youkai, thus having night vision, Rumia can use her 'Absolute control of darkness' to meld into the shadows for evasion and stealth purposes, and can use natural darkness to heal herself quickly.
- Healing Factor: Can regenerate fresh injuries swiftly in natural shadows; however; it consumes her stamina quickly
- Ignorant of the Call: When she becomes aware of the effect she's having on Reimu; she stops jumping at every incident and only steps in when Reimu can't manage... another trait of Yukari. Although she also intervenes when her friends or allies are in danger.
- Kill the God: Kills Titania in the finale using the weapon Shinki made her
- Mark of the Beast: When tapping into Makai's powers, her wings glow blue; like Shinki's purple wings.
- The Atoner: She considers a lot of her heroic actions making up for the sins her past committed
- Lightning Bruiser: Swift movement, high physical strength [Especially when amplified by Chi]; and Dark Energy
- Plot-Powered Stamina: Rumia's stamina is only as high as most other youkai, but she burns through it rather quickly.
- Plot-Relevant Age-Up: Rumia appears like a late teen/young adult during this time.
- Power Copying: Rumia has a Marisa-like habit of making similar attacks to other people
- Power Gives You Wings: Can make a pair of wings of Dark Energy, purely for show, although it generally happens when she is using a large amount of power. The wings gain blue markings similar to Shinki's own wings when she receives an infusion of power from her, as well as a 2nd pair.
- Religious Bruiser: While she's not as devout as the others; she does take on Taoism to help deal with her Evil side; as well as help get more control over her darkness powers while also improving some of her light-based danmaku such as Moonlight Ray; as well as regularly using Chi to empower her physical strength. In addition, she is infused with Shinki's energy.
- Shadow Walker: Only with natural shadows however; she uses this most notably to infiltrate the Moon.
- Surpassed the Teacher: To Seiga regarding Dark Energy due to regaining her powers.
- The Tease: Some elements of this towards Rika, verbally only. Loves to take advantage of Rika's flustered moments and make her worse.
- Troll: Having Yukari go into her head led to Rumia doing this a fair bit more, although part of her taking on of Yukari's habits may also be due to guilt.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Her ability of 'absolute control of darkness' is pretty useless when most youkai have strong enough senses that even if they cannot see in Rumia's total darkness, they can still sense perfectly fine. She usually ends up relying on her danmaku; physical strength or Dark Energy to actually fight.
- Strongest Fairy/Sprite
- Cirno
Cirno is generally the same as her fanon portrayal, a boastful, overconfident, foolish fairy with a habit of getting into trouble. Eventually what Sheikieki said in Touhou 9 comes true, and Cirno becomes a Sprite, a fairy with an even greater connection to nature, and generally more power... and their key points emphaized. For Cirno this was her love of fighting, her general power, and her stupidity.
Tropes associated with Cirno:
- An Ice Person: Except the opposite in personalty.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: Cirno is one of the two 'heads' of the fairies of the Misty Lake, and is the reason those fairies don't follow Sunny's gang.
- Catchphrase: Eye'm da strongest!
- Determinator
- Never Tell Me the Odds!: Cirno will ignore them.
- Resurrective Immortality: All fairies have this.
- The Lancer: The only one in the gang who can fight anywhere near Rumia's current level.
- The Apprentice: During Winter she seeks out Letty Whiterock who teaches her new ways to use her ice powers.
- Spirited Competitor: Cirno will fight anyone, for any reason, to prove she's the strongest. She loses? She just tries again.
- Worthy Opponent: Cirno doesn't boast about being the strongest during the Winter, because she actually calls Letty her equal. Of course, this is because Cirno can't admit someone is stronger than her.
- Wings bringing Humans and Youkai together
- Mystia Lorelei
A Night Sparrow, who has the pasttimes of drilling lamprey and selling them, and singing. She's generally cheerful, and was the main character of Mystia Quest, during which she helped bring humans and youkai closer together.
Tropes associated with Mystia Lorelei:
- Berserk Button: Rika puts Daiyousei in a cage. She proceeds to claw out Rika's face on the screen and break it.
- Breakout Character: She got her own Story Arc
- Chekhov's Gun: Eirin's payment to Mystia comes in handy later, as does Yukari's.
- Claustro Phobia: As a bird, she dosen't like small enclosed spaces. She also doesn't feel right underground.
- Eaten Alive: Got eaten by Yuyuko during the Imperishable Night incident. Fortunetly, Yuyuko is a ghost, so it just make Mystcia pass out for a week... and suffer from fear whenever she's around
- I'm a Humanitarian: Or used to be
- Interspecies Friendship: Not just helping bridge Youkai and Humans together, but gets on very well with an Insect Youkai, a demon, a karakasa, and fairies. She gets on with pretty much everyone she meets.
- Non-Idle Rich: After the advent of the Yukarin to give Youkai and Humans a common way to trade [Youkai usually taking favors of trading items, while Humans used money], due to the sucess of her lamprey stand, she instantly became easily the richest person in Gensokyo. She still works, and is up for fighting and fooling around with Rumia and co still.
- Noodle Incident: Some of Mystia Quest's senarios lean this way, others are plot relevant.
- Tastes Like Friendship: Mystcia's Lamprey helped encourage people to trust youkai more.
- Treasure Room: Mystia took payment in the form of 'shiny objects' before the Yukarin currency came into force. After she just took Yukarins and traded THOSE for shiny objects, which she hoards.
- Insect Leader
- Wriggle Nightbug
A Firefly Youkai with the power to control insects, one of Rumia's closest friends, and Mystia's best pal. Not the best fighter.
Tropes associated with Wriggle Nightbug:
- Friend to Bugs: Obviously
- Food Chains: Averted, she's Mystia's best friend, despite her being an insect, and Mystia a bird.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Wriggle can control insects, aside from having a potential army of poisonous creatures at her command, if there are ever more insect youkai...
- Kick Chick: Wriggle's main form of fighting is kicking things.
- The Reliable One: Wriggle always keeps a level head.
- Unsurprising Umbrella
- Kogasa Tatara
A karakasa who is constantly cheerful, and cannot even make use of her power to surprise people. Despite this, she's actually surprisingly strong, although unreliable in terms of her power. She also breaks the fourth wall.
Tropes associated with Kogasa Tatara:
- Attack Its Weak Point: Kogasa is KO'ed for pretty much all of Rumia Quest 3, because for once her weak point did get hit. She followed Keine on a full moon, and got caught in a fight between Mokou and Kaguya, and got burnt and almost killed.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall
- Catchphrase: I'm a Karakasa, I can't/don't do x, silly!
- Cloudcookoolander: Frequently makes little sense, and spins around in the air for no reason in glee.
- Confusion Fu: She will do completely random things when fighting, such as suddenly using the shoe on her umbrella to smack someone in the head, or pull out what seems like a Master Spark, but is actually just a weak imitation to surprise people. Not to mention her spellcards greatly fluctuate in Power Level.
- Determinator: Won't stop attempting to surprise people, even fighting to do it.
- Epic Fail: How 99% of Kogasa's surprise attempts end up.
- Fake Weakness: Most people who fight Kogasa for the first time think beating up the human form is the way to win. Of course, this accomplishes nothing, and Kogasa usually plays up being 'hurt' when this happens just so when she shows she's perfectly fine it's even more surprising.
- I Owe You My Life: To Kaguya of all people. Kaguya repaired Kogasa's umbrella after it got burnt by Mokou, because she liked it. Kogasa was still in a coma for a few weeks, making Kaguya think she was just a normal umbrella. Nowadays Kogasa usually greets Kaguya with The Glomp.
-
Moe: She reacts generally in ways that make her seem as cute as possible. Unintentionally. These include spinning around for no reason, and her usual reaction to actually surprising people is to Squee - The Apprentice: Learning how to surprise better from Nue.
- The Smartest Fairy/Sprite
- Daiyousei
Tropes associated with Daiyousei:
- Breakout Character: The next arc will have Daiyousei as the player character to shift some focus from Rumia.
- Damsel in Distress: Was trapped in a cage by Rika in Rumia Quest 3. This pressed Mystia's Berserk Button.
- Emotion Control: Daiyousei's power is that she can calm down people with touch. Until she used it to calm a rampageing Marisa, she hadn't tried it on anyone but a fairy before.
- Elemental Powers: As Patchouli's student, her magic is based on Elemetal magic as well. However, she's working on her own brand, as she is almost incapable of using the Metal Element, locking her out of the Sun and Moon Elements as well.
- Eventually she made her own type of magic, which focuses on Fire, Water, Earth and Wind elements.
- Martial Pacifist: Hates fighting, but will if she absolutely must, even then, she refuses to kill fairies, even though they just respawn someone else.
- Shout-Out: Earth, Fire, Water, Air? Were have we seen this combination before?
- The Apprentice: Patchouli is teaching her magic, and has taken a liking to the curious fairy.
- White Mage: She is much better at defensive and supportive magic. Patchouli explains to her that mages generally excel in that or blowing people up.
[[folder:Arc Antagonists]]
- Modern Reporter of Fantasy
- Hatate Heimekaidou
Tropes associated with Hatate:
- Astral Projection: Her 'Spirit Photography' comes pretty close to this, Hatate focuses her power through her camera, and sees great distances with her 'Mind's Eye', before taking a picture.
- Confusion Fu: Mixes her speed with her slight psychic abilities to create after-images in her spellcards and in combat.
- Dark Secret: She wanted to reveal Remilia's
- Fragile Speedster: Although not as fast as Aya, Hatate's movements are still hard to follow, but she can't take much punishment if she actually does get hit.
- Kick Chick: When it comes to physical combat, Hatate uses her high speed, combined with Combat Stilettos [Well, those traditional clogs with a large thing in the middle]
- Me's a Crowd: Her favorite illusion technique is to make four copies of herself, each in a different color, which fire one type of danmaku each.
- The Rival: To Aya, although she's far more bothered about it than Aya.
- Winged Humanoid: She's a Crow Tengu
- Unquestionable Makai Authority
- Shinki
Tropes associated with Shinki:
- A God Am I: Shinki uses this a lot. Justified in that she IS a goddess within her own dimension [Although is only near-god status outside Makai]
- Big Damn Heroes: Rumia is trapped on the moon, with her powers sealed, about to become the prisoner of the Watasukis, which will ultimately lead to her excecution. Yukari can't help because it's not the full moon, and the teleporter out is destroyed.
- ""The only one fit to spar with me is my sister." Yorihime declares. "Then how about a God?"
- Comes Great Responsibility: Shinki, despite being more than able to do so, will not use her powers to kill someone unless in combat, and even then, not outright invoke death. She also refuses to change people's souls.
- Idiot Hair: Has this, even moreso in her 'Chibi' form when she's fooling around. She even uses an Adhogecopter.
- Mama Bear: Her whole motivation in Rumia Quest 2, even now she's twisted Yukari's arm to let her visit Alice every few weeks.
- Even though she exiled Rumia for being a danger to her other denizens, the whole reason she turned up on the moon to save Rumia's hide is her Mama-bear instincts.
- Mana Drain: Makai's mana was being drained heavily by Yumemi, as she intended to make the strain so hard on Shinki that she couldn't just up and leave Makai on a whim anymore and leave her own realm. The result is Shinki is more or less left powerless, worn out, and confined to her palace, but she states she can still take three times more, although doing so would render her comatose.
- Shinki's energy is constantly being drained to create new things in Makai, expend the dimension, and sustain it. Makai is basically Shinki's vast power made manifest.
- Mundane Utility: Shinki uses her godlike powers for several things. Including making herself look like a chibi version of herself because she felt like it.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Her reaction borders on this when Alice finally gets through to her that she's staying, and attacks Shinki with all her power to do so, all she can say for a while is 'Alice'.
- Person of Mass Destruction: She wasn't kidding when she threatened to kill everyone and destroy everything that ties Alice to Gensokyo, including Gensokyo itself.
- She could also destroy everything in Makai on a whim if she wanted to.
- The Insomniac: Despite using up enough energy to run an entire dimension, it's so little to Shinki that she can't even get to sleep due to her excess energy.
- Reality Warper: To the degree that when she's actually trying even Yukari can't stop her breaking into Gensokyo and bringing Makai's strongest and a load of toxic magical maisma with her.
- Villainous BSoD: Shinki has one when Alice attacks her all out to get the message to her.
- Technological Chaos
- Rika
Tropes associated with Rika:
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Evil Eye Omega, about a 1/3rd of the size of a mountain, and powered by a nuclear reactor.
- Evil Eye Sigma II fused with Rika to make a battle-suit when it was damaged.
- Badass Normal: She didn't have ANY powers in Rumia Quest 3, and even then, her Technomancy is not a combat related power. Even now she has so little magic she can hardly make a spellcard that's more threatening than mook fairys. Despite this, she aims to kill creatures far above her in power.
- Big Bad: She's been key in each major incident since Rumia Quest 3.
- Body Backup Drive: Has extra bodies, just in case.
- Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: She knocks out Rumia with a crack to the back of the head with her spanner... only for Rumia to come back strong.
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: She backstabbed Rikako in the past, tricked Kanako for information, intended to backstab the Watasukis [Although they beat her at it and backstabed her first], and turned on Yumemi when she didn't get the technology she wanted [Again, she intended to betray them anyway to steal their technology].
- Driven to Suicide: She turns her mind to data and then uses one of her robots to kill herself when she is a Youkai, turning herself into a machine.
- Irony: She sought to kill all youkai. Then she became one due to her own obsession.
- Fantastic Racism: She WILL kill all Youkai. Even the good ones. Even the unkillable ones she wants to find a way to kill. Even herself.
- Foreshadowing: 'I suppose it's no harm, seeing as they're long gone from Gensokyo. You won't recognise the names, but the Hakurei Maiden will. I owe them no alliance, after all, they just gave me some help while they lodged in my base to research Gensokyo's magic or something I don't care about. Their names were Yumemi Okazaki and Chiyuri Kitashirakawa.Tell those names to the Hakurei maiden, they mentioned they know her, and had to hide from her.'. Yumemi and Chiyuri are the antagonists of Rumia Quest 5...
- Also foreshadows her Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, as she clearly states she doesn't feel like she owes them any allegiance at all.
- Fun with Acronyms: Super Transporting, Attacking, Locating and Killing Everyday Radar, also known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Rika uses this to track Rumia. Totally not stalk her.
- Heel–Face Turn: After Eiki lectured Rika and destroyed all her robot bodies, Rika transfers herself, with Rumia's help, into a robot body which is designed especially to be as close to human, including emotional capacity, as possible, before announcing she no longer intends genocide, since times have changed. Although she's more than happy to kill youkai that are dangerous to humans still.
- Killer Robot: She makes them. When that fails she makes herself one.
- No-Sell: Anti-Danmaku shielding!
- She's pretty tough, even to non-damnaku attacks. The only things that have actually do severe damage to her are the Scarlet's godly weapons, Yorihime's sword, and the chaos around the Heart of Makai, although she dosen't want to take the energy from Yumemi's crosses.
- Mad Scientist: She doesn't even deny being mad. Rumia introduces her to Maribel and Renko as a scientist, and she insists she's a MAD scientist.
- Moral Event Horizon: Long jumped off it. Aside from being happy about a possible nuclear meltdown, she's done things like shoot Rikako [Her ex-parner in Science] when she tried to talk her out of being evil, kill Reimu, which would destroy
- Spontaneous Weapon Creation: Rika's combat style after getting her new body. Except with guns.
- Stalking is Love: The reaction of most people when Rumia informed them of Rika's new 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R' tank.
- Ridiculously Human Robot: She still looks perfectly human, to the degree Rumia couldn't tell until she punched her.
- Her final body takes this up to eleven, even being able to taste, and feel emotion.
- Robo Speak: Reverts to this when she has a system crash, such as when she's shocked mentally/knocked out, or the machine is too damaged to continue.
- Rule of Symbolism: She is the first PC-98 danmaku boss. Rumia is the first Windows Era danmaku boss.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Rika states this many times, after being defeated by Rumia, she refuses to let ANYONE else defeat Rumia, even if she has to team up.
- Tsundere: There is some speculation her attitude towards Rumia is this, especially when she explains why she's helping out whenever she does. Combined with The Only One Allowed to Defeat You...
- Gets even worse when she transfers into her final body, since that one feels emotion.
- We Will Meet Again: 'UNIT: R.I.K.A Delta initiating self-destruct'. What happened to Alpha and Beta?
- Whatevermancy: After becoming a youkai, she developed the power of Technomancy.
- Undefeataed Might of the Moon
- Watasuki no Yorihime
Tropes associated with Yorihime:
- Achilles' Heel: She can only channel the powers of two gods at the same time. That said, she's still using the powers of two gods at once.
- A God Am I: Pretty much sees herself as one.
- Hidden Depths: She's actually pretty reasonable when not fuming mad or has an objective, albeit she still arrogant. She also still cares about Eirin despite her exile.
- Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Seals Rumia's powers, gets caught off guard by the GPE's power boost and made to drop her sword? She knocks a powered-up Rumia flat out with two punches.
- When in Gensokyo to give Eirin news in Rumia Quest 5, she decides to have a 1 spellcard game with Rumia, playing by Gensokyo's rules.
- Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: "This attack is from a god, not from me!"
- Smug Super: Makes a point of beating Rumia in every possible way to show her authority and power. She's not even too worried when Shinki shows up.
- Superpower Lottery: Her power is to control the powers of gods. Basically, she's omnipotent.
- Unstoppable Rage: When Rumia 'killed' Kaguya.
- "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS WITH MORE THAN YOUR LIFE, YOU SHALL BE PUBLICLY HUMILIATED AND TORTURED FOR THIS! AND THEN, ONLY THEN, WHEN YOUR SPIRIT IS BROKEN WILL I ALLOW YOU TO DIE!"
- One who can scar the Moon and the Earth
- Watasuki no Toyohime
Tropes associated with Toyohime:
- Intimidation Demonstration: Displays the destructive power of her fan on Gensokyo's landscape to make a point if the denizens resist.
- Martial Pacifist: Toyohime much prefers peaceful solutions. As Yorihime says, she handles most of the combat, and Toyohime handles the politics.
- Paper Fan of Doom: While not paper, it is capable of flattening the land with a casual swing.
- The Leader: After a time of unrest on the moon, Yorihime states that Toyohime has taken up the leadership of the moon herself, to replace Kaguya. She is a Type II and I.
- The Unfought: She doesn't actually get a fight with Rumia. She unleashes a couple of attacks with her fan when Shinki shows up, but lets her sister do the main fighting. This is partially because her power isn't that useful on the moon. The battle was origionally planned to happen in Gensokyo, where Toyohime's powers would be more relevant.
- Inter-dimensional Sailor
- Chiyuri Kitashirakawa
Tropes associated with Chiyuri:
- Anti-Hero: She aims to restore magic to her world, and is as convinced as Yumemi is that she can't be doing harm to the host worlds, for all intents and purposes, she's a good guy, just for a different, conflicting cause.
- Attack Reflector: Chiyuri's fighting style is basically this, as her ray gun is charged with magic she absorbs, mainly from her No-Sell.
- Human Shield: Interestingly, she's used as one, by the protagonist no less.
- Loose Lips: Chiyuri is really bad at keeping secrets. Also falls under I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You!.
- No-Sell: Chiyuri carries a lesser version of Yumemi's devices, that allows her to break down and absorb magical energy. However, it proves useless against Eirin's familiars that she uses for her Astronomical Entombing.
- Ray Gun: Her weapon of choice, and pretty powerful.
- Sailor Fuku: Her outfit
- Savior of another world
- Yumemi Okazaki
Tropes associated with Yumemi:
- Berserk Button: When Rumia takes Chiyuri hostage, Yumemi's is pushed hard enough that she ups the power of all the extractors, and says she will drain every last drop of magic from Gensokyo and Makai if she causes Chiyuri any harm. Considering everything Yumemi was doing was with the objective to avoid causing trouble for the host worlds...
- Cast from Hit Points: Yumemi's spellcards, since she has no magic, instead draw on her life force.
- *Determinator*: Refuses to give up on her goals. Even when she can hardly move due to expending her life-force, she keeps fighting.
- She recovers from what should take two weeks to even wake up from in a few days through sheer determination.
- Martial Pacifist: Does everything in her power to avoid a fight breaking out.
- No-Sell: The whole basis of Yumemi's fighting style. She quite literally can't take a hit, being a human, so just absorbs all magical attacks with her crosses.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Even the Watatsuki Sisters were unable to defeat her, since she just absorbed their magic. That said, she never claimed she beat them either, just that they gave up.
- To Be Lawful or Good: Her situation and methords were specifically designed to cause this. She's attempting to not cause harm, and is attempting to save her dimension. Rather than fight she instead uses threats and displays of power. By all means, Yumemi is more of an Anti-Hero, who's goals were incompatable with Gensokyo and Makai.
- Trapped in Another World: With the extractors shut down, Yukari dead, and no-one knowing what world Yumemi is even from, this may be her fate.
- Center of Makai
- The Makai Heart
- A Father to His Men: Actually cares about Dark Rumia, if only as a tool. He wants her back.
- Came Back Wrong: Intentionally invoked this on Rumia's previous self after Shinki killed her. While the heart can't create life, it can twist and save it...
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: If Shinki approaches the Heart of Makai now, the massive amounts of polar opposite energy would rip Makai apart. The heart would like nothing better.
- Made a Slave: The Heart of Makai considers itself this.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Would love nothing better than Makai destroyed, and Shinki dead. Even if acheiving this would end it's own sentience.
- The Corrupter: If it doesn't just kill you with it's energy, it'll twist and corrupt you to become it's tool to kill Shinki.
- Pure Energy: Being near the heart rips one apart with the sheer magical energy. Rika took heavy damage, despite her shields, by staying too near to disable the extractor.
- Say My Name: Not quite, but when he addresses his daughter, she gets a massive spike in power and mortally wounds Yukari. Yukari states her power suddenly spiked a hundredfold.
- Swirly Energy Thingy: Basically a giant one.
—-
- You, on a really bad day for the world
- Dark/True Rumia
- Ax-Crazy: Her daily routine is murder, torture, both physical and mental, slaughter, take ecstasy in slaughter, repeat.
- Hero Killer: Discounting the heros of other universes she's killed, she has killed Yumeko, Reimu's grandmother, and Yukari. The latter was without a physical form.
- Knight of Cerebus: Rumia Quest 1 was not serious. Shinki wasn't outright evil. However, the mere threat and scale of Inner Rumia's madness revealed in RC 2 set fear of it being unleashed until Rumia finally subdued it in RQ 4, and even then, it's still a risk. The power was great enough that even Yukari could only give Rumia about twenty extra seconds of sanity in RC 2 from it.
- Lights Off, Somebody Dies: Dark Rumia's fighting style, since she can melt into darkness and shadows as well. In fact, the only reason Rika was able to not be slaughtered is she already knew Rumia's powers, and had infra-red vision so she could still track her in
