This is what people are calling 'Perfect Possession'."
The red-and-white shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.
She sets out with a certain hermit to investigate the Perfect Possession incident, but quickly realizes that the incident can't be dealt with via usual means.
In battle, she's a balanced fighter armed with both danmaku and melee moves of various speeds.

High-Firepower and Star-Loving Magician
Marisa Kirisame
"This whole Perfect Possession thing is
a heckuva lot easier than I thought, huh?"
A black-and-white magician who does diligent research in the Forest of Magic.
After discovering the Perfect Possession incident, she enjoys the possession battles with the help of her bizarre slave.
However, Marisa soon comes to realize that the Perfect Possession rumor has been spreading all too fast...

Stubborn and Massively Herculean Nyuudou Handler
Ichirin Kumoi
"Lady Hijiri came up with this plan.
That is, to investigate the Perfect Possessions in a team of two."
A youkai monk from the temple, who can control nyuudou.
She ventures into the possession battles at the behest of her master, who is investigating the Perfect Possession incident, but she and her partner seem to have quarreled to no end over which of them has the authority of being the pair's master.
She fights with the overwhelming power and reach of her nyuudou partner, Unzan.
As long as you can compensate for her slow speed, your opponents will be helpless.

Superhuman and Enlightened Mahācārya
Byakuren Hijiri
"You were possessed by an evil spirit just now!
You have to resist it, or you'll die!"
The head of the Myouren Temple, a Buddhist temple that accepts even youkai.
Regarding the incident as dangerous, she sets out to investigate the Perfect Possessions.
With the help of her subordinate, she tries to solve the question of just what the Possessions really are, but...

Shikaisen who Breaks Plates with Feng Shui
Mononobe no Futo
"How incomprehensible.
Before I even knew it, I found myself here."
An old-fashioned Taoist hermit who can manipulate feng shui.
At the behest of her master, who is investigating the Perfect Possession incident, she searches for the incident's driving principle.
Her struggle with her partner over master's authority has reached a temporary truce, but it soon leads to an unexpected result...
A speed character who fights with her special attacks, which make use of the plates she sets up, and her agile maneuverability.

Almighty Taoist who Works for the People
Toyosatomimi no Miko
"I have nothing against you personally,
but allow me to use you as a guinea pig."
A renowned figure and Taoist, who was brought back to life in the modern day.
To seek out the truth of the Perfect Possession incident, she joins hands with her business rival.
Her goal: solving the mystery of the "other Perfect Possession".
Her fighting style changes based on her Occult Special Move, which strengthens either her melee or her projectiles. The choice, however, rests in the opponent's hands; grant them whichever terror they desire.

Business-Minded and Miserly Kappa
Nitori Kawashiro
"Alright!
I got my hands on a real good sample."
A river-dweller who's devoted to technology and finances.
Sensing a business opportunity in the incident, the kappa enters the possession battles to solve the mystery of Perfect Possession.
Soon, this unexpectedly leads her to the very heart of the incident.
Her biggest selling point is the wide variety of projectiles granted by her various weapons.
Perfect for those who are suffering from chronically sparse danmaku!

Satori who Unintentionally Closed Her Heart
Koishi Komeiji
"Aw, man! I really wanted to wail
on 'em two-against-one!"
A satori who lost her mind-reading abilities by closing her third eye.
With Perfect Possession, she can possess and take over other people's bodies.
Even today, this empty-hearted satori is out there casually possessing someone.
A surprising character who interrupts with moves that differ from the player's inputs.
Her super-reflexes surpass human limitations, but whether they'll blow up in your face is up to the player who uses her.

Phantasmagoric and Shrewd Bake-Danuki
Mamizou Futatsuiwa
"I'll be the master.
It's in both of our best interests."
A youkai tanuki general who came from the Outside World.
Those who master the possession battles will master the incident itself.
She aims for the title of the strongest Perfect Possessor, with a partner whose interests align with hers.
Her "strength in numbers" fighting style using her youkai tanuki is superb, but if you don't take care of her minions, they'll get knocked out and she'll be left all alone.

Expressionless and Emotional Menreiki
Hata no Kokoro
"This isn't good!
I can't read this person's emotions at all."
A menreiki who can manipulate any emotion.
Her power to control emotions was linked to the incident in an unexpected way.
Having been scouted out for this reason, she devotes herself to fighting in the possession battles.
A technical character who can change her fighting style by changing her emotions.
Those who master control of her emotions will master control of the battle.

Taoist-Minded and Animal-Loving Hermit
Kasen Ibaraki
"If we want to find out who spread this rumor,
our only option is to jump into the thick of things."
A meddlesome Taoist hermit who's loved by animals.
She quickly responds to the Perfect Possession incident and teams up with Reimu, but after realizing that the usual approach won't work, she starts the shrine maiden on some special training.
Her biggest selling points are her "arm's" irregular melee moves, and her pets' colorful variety of attacks.

Self-Abandoning and Immortal Human
Fujiwara no Mokou
"I've lived for ages now, but this is still a first...
which is what makes it so fun."
A mysterious immortal who lives in the Bamboo Forest.
Even for someone as long-lived as her, the Perfect Possession battles were fresh and exciting.
In order to fully enjoy this opportunity to run wild, she teams up with a partner with whom she has a mutual interest.
A close-range fighter who quite literally burns with passion, unleashing an onslaught of reckless, HP-sacrificing attacks.

Fairytale-esque and Bowl-Riding Inchling
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna
"Do you think you've already won?
Today, I've made the strongest helper around into my slave!"
A member of the Inchling race, who wields the Miracle Mallet.
In order to dominate the possession battles, she ventures around in search of the strongest partner.
In the end, the partner she chose was someone absolutely outrageous.
A speed character who scurries about with her small form and fast movement.
Her melee moves that use her bowl and needle are truly formidable.

Mystic and Troublesome Female Student
Sumireko Usami
"Well, you sure are acting weird, Reimu.
I'd like to go to Kourindou today, if you don't mind...?"
A modern high-school girl with psychic powers.
She has the ability to visit Gensokyo in her dreams, but the Gensokyo she saw today was utterly different from usual.
A zoning character who fights with her ESP, able to catch opponents anywhere without moving.
Bury your opponent in mountains of rubble that rain down from all sides!

Lunar-Minded Youkai Rabbit on a Different Wavelength
Reisen Udongein Inaba
"Tonight's moon is emitting
even more light of insanity."
An ex-moon rabbit who can manipulate insanity.
Tonight, Reisen is hardly herself.
Anyone in Gensokyo would be shocked to see her now.
Reisen's most unique trait is her insanity-manipulating Urban Legend, the "Kunekune."
When opponents see the Kunekune and descend into madness, that's her big chance.

Youkai who Bestows Dreams
Doremy Sweet
"My name is Doremy Sweet.
I am the ruler of the world of dreams."
A youkai who rules over the world of dreams.
She normally stays cooped up in the dream world, but she's recently been seen in Gensokyo.
Just what does this mean, in the end?
Her special trait is her ability to pluck "Dream Souls" out of opponents with her attacks.
The more she steals, the more powerful her Urban Legend becomes.

Celestial of Scarlet Thought, Secluded from this Transient World
Tenshi Hinanawi
"I'm glad that I got to meet
a great partner who suits me so well!"
A delinquent Celestial who defies common sense.
Upon descending to Gensokyo for the first time in a while, she discovered an unprecedented Perfect Possession fad!
Having found a partner suitable for her noble status, nobody on the Earth's surface can stand a chance against her.
An all-purpose fighter armed with her Sword of Scarlet Thought, which changes its shape to match the situation,
and all-range attacks using keystones that she can control at will.
And to top it off, her atmosphere-controlling Urban Legend "H.A.A.R.P." calls forth massive storms!

Elusive and Two-Faced Youkai
Yukari Yakumo
"That's one choice available in the worst possible set of choices.
A set provided with malicious intent, at that."
A gap youkai who can manipulate the boundaries between anything and everything.
At the same time as the Perfect Possession incident, she began to take action.
Is she truly the mastermind behind this incident, in the end?
By controlling boundaries, she can send forth a variety of rule-breaking attacks.
There's no way to predict what'll come flying out from beyond the gap.
Will it be mysterious detritus, a dimensional rift, or even Yukari herself?

The Worst, Tough-Luckiest Younger Twin Sister
Joon Yorigami
Species: Pestilence god
Ability: Causing consumption of financial assets
A god of pestilence who's strangely liked by people, but always brings misfortune to those around her and is resented in the end.
Has a strong desire to dominate. Prideful. No self-control.
She takes hold of her targets with her fast talk, then makes them use up their money as if they're offering it of their own free will.
As they lose their assets, their luck dwindles as well, and in the end, they're reduced to a husk of their former self.
Then, when there's no more money left to drain, it's said that she wanders off in search of another human.
Since she possesses humans with money and brings unhappiness to them, she could in that sense be called a god who controls financial ruin.
This time around, she came up with "a plan where they'd be guaranteed not to lose," using her elder sister like a tool.
She'd have her sister forcibly Perfect Possess their opponent, and steal all their luck in victory away from them.

The Worst, Tough-Luckiest Elder Twin Sister
Shion Yorigami
Species: Poverty god
Ability: Capable of making people unlucky, including herself
A poverty god who reduces people's luck and makes them poor upon possessing them, who is thus hated by everyone.
Subservient and gloomy. Would rather let other people take care of things for her.
She herself will remain destitute no matter where she goes, so she doesn't try to put in any effort, and is apathetic.
Where does all of the lost wealth and good luck go?
They're actually converted into debt and bad luck, respectively, and continually stored inside her body.
As more and more is stored up, it'll explode at regular intervals; at this time, she turns into a super poverty god who scatters bad luck all around.
However, she's actually a sort of guardian god, who protects people from dramatic financial ruin by reducing their overall wealth.
Although she's still hated in the end, of course...
This time around, in order to escape from poverty, she decided to possess her gaudy spendthrift of a younger sister.
Her sister can't save up money either, though, so she remained poor as ever.
