Main Profile[]
Satori Komeiji is the Mistress of the Palace of the Earth Spirits after the underground city was separated from Hell. She barely gets any visitors because her ability to read minds makes various youkai and spirits fear her, while leaving her well-loved by the animals that normally can't be understood. With these animals as pets, she manages the ruins of inferno where her home stands.
During the events of the Subterranean Animism, the heroine (from above ground) invaded her home. After an encounter, she permitted the Heroine passage towards the Hell of Blazing Fires to ask her pets about their supposed problem.
Personality[]
Satori often has a calm and deductive demeanor especially when dealing with serious affairs. She can be very blunt and come across as rude especially due to reading the minds of people she comes across which can lead to people disliking her. Also, due to her ability of always reading minds, she prefers to stay in the calm location of the Underworld rather than the surface. Satori takes her role of managing the Underworld seriously and still shows kindness to the animals of the Underworld, such as Rin, and appears to be loved by animals who can't normally be understood in the first place.
Abilities[]
Reading minds[]
As a satori, Satori is capable of using her Satori eye to read the heart and mind of any living creature, even vengeful spirits. This ability works only on those within her Satori eye's line of sight, and doesn't work at all on her sister, Koishi. Satori's mind reading ability can exhaust her, especially when coming to the surface, due to many lingering thoughts that can be in the area around her. She also seems to be able to show others what she sees if they're in close proximity, as shown in Foul Detective Satori chapter 43 where she is able to share Mizuchi Miyadeguchi's thoughts with Reimu Hakurei.
Awakening and copying trauma[]
Satori can use hypnotic lights to distract opponents causing them to think they might die from a sudden danmaku attack. This will bring back traumatic memories to the surface of a person's mind or induce amnesia. After successfully awakening the trauma, Satori is able to tap into her target's memories and use patterns they may have seen in the past - i.e. Spell Cards that the player character may have fought against in a previous game. This is a true recreation, not an illusion, but is not completely exact (possibly due to flaws in the source memories, or Satori lacking the original users' abilities).
Species[]
Satori Komeiji is, as her namesake suggests, a satori, which means she has the power to read minds. The satori are particularly detested, even among the other youkai currently living in Old Hell. Her palace never gets visitors, because no one wants to visit her. Even Kanako Yasaka felt the need to go behind her back to get control of the Hell of Blazing Fires, as it would be impossible to negotiate with her.
Backstory[]
When the Yamas moved the actual site of Hell away from the Underground, there were many vengeful spirits left over that needed to be controlled. The Palace of the Earth Spirits was built on top of the ruins of the Hell of Blazing Fires, and with Satori as the mistress of the palace, there was no chance of any kind of revolt. Eventually, Satori delegated various roles in the maintenance of the Hell of Blazing Fires to the many pets that had assembled in the palace.
