Satori has a whole pun about her, that "Sato Rori" thing that comes from her species name character being broken into its components. Of course, this gives fanartists an excuse to put her in schoolgirl outfits, just like Sanae, the real joshikousei of ZUN's girls.

Edit: it had to be done, what with how the swimsuits appear in many places in anime and sometimes even in certain webcomics.

I'm sorry, explain the pun for me, would you, I don't get that one.

As taken from the Touhou Wiki:

Similarly, it has become common in fanart to break down the kanji of Satori (悟) into its component radicals (小五口) and add the katakana り, spelling out "shougorori", read as "fifth-grade elementary student loli". Her apparently small stature in her portrait seems to add to this. It is thus not uncommon to see her depicted wearing a Japanese elementary-schooler's book satchel on her back.

Hey, I found a new crack crossover!

Actually, I've seen some Touhou characters as TF characters things before.

here.

edit: oh... crap...

Touhou Fortress? Fascinating.

There are numerous debates over who could fill what TF 2 role, of course.

I'd like a SA team made with a Spy Koishi.

Honestly, Sakuya's Knife Nut status makes it fine, but I think Reisen is more thematically appropriate for Spy duty.

I have to ask WTF? about Yuyuko being the HWG. Marisa isn't the best choice (I think Suika is better for it), but she at least makes more sense than Yuyuko.

Letty and Kananko were also debated over for the role of Heavy. Someone had a really good picture of Kanako carrying one of her Sacred Logs like Sasha.

The problem with these mods is that they can make the classes harder to recognize: I have trouble distinguishing Eirin from Sakuya when only seen briefly...

Sort of reminds me of Advent Cirno - an unfinished roster with choices ranging from inspired to odd, with Yuyuko in an entirely bizarre role.

IIRC, they chose Yuyuko for the Heavy because her fan could be used to replicate the bigger hit-box of the class, which was a problem with many proposals.

If they had waited until UNL came out, they could have used Okuu instead; that girl is huge, and her wings and cape provide a lot of aiming space.

Kanako as the Heavy makes sense. Yuyuko... does not.

UNL? Okuu is from SA... Which came out about a year before the Touhoufortress project.

She's also in the latest fighting game and has the biggest sprite there, by far. She even towers above Komachi, who wears heels when Utsuho doesn't.

You have to beat the story mode to unlock Utsuho, right? I haven't done that yet for either SWR or UNL yet... I haven't been playing often.

Yeah, you have to beat story mode to unlock her, although just with Sanae I think. Shouldn't take too long if you set it on easy.

He doesn't fire lasers. He fires beams of pure, refined lag.

Fancomic rush, kekekeke. (qc copies from Voile - no, not Patchouli's library!)

Ordinary Restaurant - Tenderness From the Bottom of the Earth: Satori visits the surface and has tea with Reimu. Includes lots of shots of Satori smiling.

Chihagura - So how's that endurance spell?: A very OOC but cute Kaguya X Mokou story.

... Wow, Windows is scary. I'm on my sister's computer, and as soon as I clicked the first link I got a warning that there's a virus on the computer. I didn't even download anything yet!

I mean, I'll gladly go download that thing once I'm back on my Linux machine back home, but, uh.

Are you sure that isn't just an annoying popup?
