tewi
its interesting that it took zun this long to make a midboss who's also actually a character
even funnier that she's probably stronger than the actual stage boss
lots of people are surprised to hear the "w" is silent
keine
she gets a pass on the basis that she's one of the few touhou characters who you could reasonably encounter without getting harmed
but her hat reminds me of a milk carton and that's too funny for me to take her seriously
mystia
birds are also cool, but she's one of the stupidest, or at least most forgetful characters, according to sangetsusei
whenever i look at her, it takes me a minute to realize
OH GOD HER FINGERNAILS
wriggle
i love bugs
she has a pretty unique design for touhou as well, wriggle is definitely the most boyish-looking of any girl in the series
imperishable night time
and since it came out around the same time, curiosities of lotus asia
suika
easy top 5 character
every single appearance she makes in the series is incredibly hype
she has no goals or motivation besides "yeah this sounds like fun" so she ends up starting shit at random, i love her so much
yukari
i liked her for a while, but
zun just didn't do anything with her
every few years one of the books will just drop some huge shit like "yeah yukari is planning on fucking up the outside world" and it goes nowhere, ever
a very frustrating character
yuyuko
not really that memorable as a final boss
her entire plan was motivated by "i'm vaguely curious about this so i'm gonna do it lol"
and she was massively overshadowed by the phantasm stage boss
yuyuko is just "yukari's friend" to me
youmu
of the 5 protagonists of the series, youmu might be the stupidest and that's honestly a feat
there's stiff competition and i'm impressed by her dedication
i don't care about her that much but she's okay, #1 in japan too
