Fun Facts
*Her punishment for forgetting homeworks is a headbutt.
*A common mistake about her abilities is that people mistakes the ability of hakutaku-Keine as to be able to erase history, however her actual ability is to create and change history whilst in her humanoid form is to consume (hide) it, fundamentally she can only conceal it not erase.
*As a teacher, she is commonly addressed by the respectful title of "Keine-sensei".
*In some fan works, Keine is depicted as a cow (complete with milk jokes) due to her appearance in hakutaku form.
*She is also often depicted with large breast with the above as one of the reason.
*Keine is the wisest of the half-beast.

Fujiwara no Mokou

Name: Fujiwara no Mokou

Species: Human

Abilities: Eternal youth and immortality, resistance to and manipulation of fire











Personal Information
Formerly an ordinary human, Mokou became an immortal after drinking the Hourai Elixir 1300 years ago. She is never able to die, though she still feels the pains of injury as normal. She is considered to be very powerful because she has lived for many years and because she cannot die, therefore she can continue fighting until she can no longer stand the pain. She hated Kaguya to the extend of to continues to detest Kaguya for more than a thousand years because Kaguya humiliated her father by turning down his marriage proposal. When not fighting Kaguya, she aids the nearby villager by exterminating youkai and will even guide them safely to Eientei for medical treatment. Her actions indicate that she may be a good person. She has red eyes, and angle-length light violet hair. She wears a light brown shirt that appears as if it has been discolored by fire and dark red overalls that are randomly decorated with paper charms. Her hair is also tied with the same paper charm. She is currently ageless but has existed for over 1300 years.

Fun Facts
*The paper talismans on Mokou's pants and hair ribbons might be wards to protect them against being burned by fire. Her shirt which lacks those talisman, appears to have been burned repeatedly, while the ribbons and pants show no such wear.
*Because Mokou cannot die, there are some parts of Gensokyo that she cannot visit, such as Hakugyokurou. This is because being in the netherworld is equivalent to being dead as quoted by Yuyuko and Mokou herself.
*The fact that it took the combined effort of her, Kaguya and several rabbits to put out a forest fire implies that while she is capable of starting and increasing fire, she might not necessarily be able to extinguish it.
*She seems to have a good relationship with the members of Eientei despite her feud with Kaguya and is willing to lead the rabbits home. She also seems to have a good relationship with Keine Kamishirasawa.
*Due to her power of resurrection and manipulation of fire, Mokou is often depicted as having the same powers as the mythical phoenix.
*Even when rescuing humans, she rarely says a word to them. However she has been seen more often lately.
*If asked she will escort anyone safely through the forest or to Eientei and the only thing she say is "I'm a health nut that runs a yakitori stand."

Komachi Onozuka

Name: Komachi Onozuka (Onozuka Komachi)

Species: Shinigami

Abilities: Manipulation of distance












Personal Information
Komachi is widely known in Gensokyo as being a slacker shinigami. Her pace of work is slow and she is rather a carefree individual. In Scarlet Weather Rhaspody, after she had defeated Tenshi in a battle, she called Tenshi immortality as a sham, but unable to send her to the Netherworld as she is simply a ferryman shinigami rather than a reaper. She has red eyes, short pinkish hair with two ponytails tied by two double hair beads. She wears a white dress with blue vest overtop and an obi belt with a large coin tied at the center and carry a scythe with a wisp-like bending on the end. Her current age is unknown but it is speculated that she is immortal.

Fun Facts
*Fans usually depicts Komachi's boat as a small wooden boat that must be pushed by a wooden pole, but she refers to her boat as the "Titanic".
*Fanart tends to portray Komachi as being large-chested perhaps based on the remark of her being a "Tall and Imposing" character in Touhou. Her art depiction in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is remarkable for being one of the few character with a visible bust.
*In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she mentions that it would be very convenient if she were to have a book which brings death to anyone whose name is written on it. This is a reference to the anime series "Death Note".
*She loves to talk.
*She uses her ability to manipulate distance to make the width of the river inversely proportional to what relatives spent on the deceased after death.
*Her boat which is hand-rowed, is fairly plain and unadorned; it maybe the standard issue from a financially troubled Hell.
