Name: Youmu Konpaku (Konpaku Youmu)Species: Half-human half-phantom hybrid
Abilities: Swordfighting, Concentration, Superhuman speed
Personal Information
Youmu is one of the strange entities in Gensokyo, being half-human half-phantom at the same time. Her two halves are not intermixed like one would expect from a cross-breed, instead they exist in physically separate bodies. She has a straightforward and focused personality, which complements her swordfighting skills well. She serves her mistress Yuyuko as best as she can such as tending garden in Hakugyokurou and following her orders. Her human half has dark blue eyes and short silver hair. She wears a dark green and white dress with several ghost insignia along the edges and breast pocket. She also wears a black ribbon placed off-center on her hair. Her ghostly half is a formless white phantom as large as her human half. The two halves are always seen together. Her current age is less than 60 years old.
Fun Facts
*Her phantom half is often treated in fanworks as "food" (usually eaten by Yuyuko).
*She wields 2 swords "Roukanken" and "Hakurouken". Roukanken is the longer blade an capable to kill 10 ghost in on swipe. The shorter blade, Hakurouken is capable to cleave through a person's own confusion.
*Because of her spell card "200 Yojana in One Slash" she is said to be capable of striking at speeds most would consider physically impossible (200 Yojana can be 1,320-3000km in length). In order to cover that kind of distance in one slash, she would have to be able to be capable of moving at far beyond hypersonic speed. Her slowest slash has been calculated to move at the speed exceeding Mach 70.
*Ironically enough, considering her species, Youmu is afraid of ghost. It is a wonder why she doesn't cower away from Yuyuko whom herself is a ghost.
*Her appearance does not differ from human but she has a much longer lifespan than one.
*In the game "League Of Legends" there is an item called "Youmuu's Ghostblade" as tribute to Touhou.
*She patrols daily at the Netherworld on the morning and at night, for she is very dedicated to her work.
*Unlike normal Youkai, she won't attack all of the sudden unless provoked, and one would probably get her not to attack if they apologized to her.
