1st choice gets 3 points, the 2nd gets 2 points, and the rest 5 choices
get 1 point for each. I am planning to vote in the following order:
1. Youmu Konpaku 魂魄妖夢: Myon-chan みょんちゃん! She made me love Touhou Project! I simply love her diligent
personality as well as her adorable image. Also, strong and reliable as
a playable unit! Her caring personality, cooking skill, her habit
especially, and so many others about her really attract me very much!
Her clumsiness also makes me familiar with her.
2. Megumu Iizunamaru 飯綱丸龍: Iizunamaru-sama is a respectable as well as gorgeous lady with high intelligence and strong charisma! She resembles to one of my favourite female philosophers to a certain extend. Her honest egoism makes me familiar as well as herself kinda sexy.
3.
Sanae Kochiya 東風谷早苗: Sanae-san is my favourite shrine maiden in this
series. She is also adorable, amiable, and diligent! Her intelligence
and ability of attracting an investment to establish a rope-way
connecting Moriya shirine and a human commune in Youkai mountain! She
also shares some hobby and interests with me. Her maniac personality
also makes me familiar with her.
4.
Youki Konpaku 魂魄妖忌: Youmu's grandpa. One of few male characters in
Touhou Project. A dandy strong handsome old man with a strong Samurai
spirit! His grand-daughter Myon-chan (Youmu) was brought up as such a
nice as well as an excellent guard of Lady Yuyuko at Hakugyokurou
because of him! Yuyu also counted on him when he was there although she
found he is too inflexible.
5.Yuyuko Saigyouji 西行寺幽々子: A stunning and intelligent lady, the chief
administrator of Hakugyokurou, the ghost shrine i.e. A boss of Konpaku
family. Her mysterious past and calm tolerant personality are
attracting. Even though I feel sorry about her subordinate Myon-chan
(Youmu) under her severe workloads, Yuyu cares about and admire
Myon-chan as her excellent guard as well as maid.
6.
Misumaru Tamatsukuri 玉造魅須丸: An important character explaining about the
fate of the main protagonist Reimu Hakurei , her weapon Yin-Yang
sphere, and Izanagi Object, the mysterious energy source. Also, what she
explain links the ancient Shintoism and the Touhou Project world.
"Misumaru-No-Tama" is one of the phrase in Katakamuna-utahi, the ancient
Shintoist mantra, which I enchant often.
7. Yuiman Asama ユイマン浅間: A new character using "snake" (I'm sure it's Python Programming!) to process big data. Her appearance and BGM are sexy and cool! It is a good surprise that a
character using Python to process Big Data appears in Touhou Project! I
am sincerely impressed by ZUN's creativity! Her cool beauty with this fashionable avant-garde costume, unlike many
other characters in Touhou Project wearing a retro costume, entices our
attention.
