Perfect Cherry Blossom - キャラ設定.txt

Translated Mastermind Behind the Spiriting Away Yukari Yakumo The youkai of boundaries, who awakens at spring. Her main ability allows her to manipulate boundaries of all sorts. She and Yuyuko have known each other for a long time, but Yukari is not a ghost. She lives in the remotest place in Gensokyo. Her lifestyle involves a lot of staring at the Hakurei Border. When humans from the outer world wander into Gensokyo, it's all thanks to fluctuations in the boundary caused by Yukari. There is an enchanting element about the phenomenon which people like to call "Spirited Away"; if it is ever discovered that spiriting away is not the work of gods, but the meddling of a youkai girl, the term will lose all of its mystique. Yukari usually doesn't act on her own, preferring instead to have Ran handle the details of daily life. But, since she is almost always asleep, she has no idea what Ran does while she sleeps. When she heard that Ran had been defeated by someone, she became mildly surprised before going back to sleep. After waking up from her nap, she finally noticed that spring had graced her place of residence. The truth is that spring had been around for the past 10 days, but she forgot it whenever she went to bed and woke up just as surprised the next time. She couldn't sleep carelessly until Ran fully recovered, but she opted to sleep on the problem. The next time she woke up, she received a request from Yuyuko asking her to restore the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead. It was a ridiculous request since Yuyuko was the one who weakened it to begin with, so Yukari rubbed the sleep from her eyes and set out for repairs. It had been quite a while since Yukari's last visit to the Netherworld, and she was curious to see that it was bustling with excitement. She thought the Saigyouji family were more quiet, laid-back folk, but she shrugged and decided Yuyuko had just had a change in taste. She met the gardener, Youmu, along the way and heard about the situation. Youmu admitted that they seemed to be in quite a mess, but it sounded like well-earned punishment to Yukari. Everyone always seemed to be bent out of shape about that youkai cherry tree, and nothing else. Surely, it had drained the spirit from too many human lives. Yukari knew it was dangerous. However, she realized there was nothing she could do about it. Yukari had known Yuyuko since before her death. She also knew that it was not Yuyuko who was sealed by the Saigyou Ayakashi... ... but that it was Yuyuko's body that was sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi.

Original Text 　○神隠しの主犯 　　八雲　紫（やくも・ゆかり） 　　春になると目が覚めるすきま妖怪。 　　主に、あらゆる境界を操る程度の能力を持つ。 　　幽々子とは旧知の仲であるが、別に幽霊ではない。幻想郷の中でも、 　　もっとも辺境にひっそりと棲む妖怪である。ここから、博麗大結界を 　　見つつ暮らしている。 　　たまに幻想郷に人間が紛れ込むのも、紫が境界に揺らぎをつくったり 　　するからである。人間は神隠しと呼ぶ現象も、結局神の仕業ではなく、 　　この妖怪少女の仕業だと知ってしまったら、何の神秘性も失われる事 　　だろう。 　　紫は普段は余り動くことは無く、代わりに式神の藍を操り生活をして 　　いる。でも殆どが睡眠時間の為、寝ている間は藍はほったらかしで、 　　何をしているか良く知らない。 　　その式神の藍が何者かにやられた事を聞き、ちょっと驚いたが二度寝 　　をした。 　　ニ度寝から目を覚ましたとき、ようやく、あたり一面がすっかり春に 　　なっていたことに気が付いた。実は１０日程も前から春になっていた 　　のだが、そのことを寝る度に忘れ、起きるたびに驚いていたのだ。 　　藍の修復が完了するまで、おちおち寝てもいられないなぁ、と思いつ 　　つ三度寝をする。 　　そんなときに、今回の騒動で薄くなった幽明の境を修復して欲しいと 　　幽々子から依頼を受ける。自分で弱くしておいて修復もへったくれも 　　無いな、と思いつつ眠い目を擦り出発する。 　　久しぶりに冥界に訪れた紫は、妙な賑わいぶりに不思議に思う。西行 　　寺家はもっと静かじゃなかったか？と思ったが、幽々子の趣味が変っ 　　たんだろうと勝手に納得した。 　　途中で庭師の妖夢に会い、詳しく事情を聞いた。妖夢の話し振りでは 　　どうやら酷い目に遭ったらしいが、紫にはどう聞いても自業自得にし 　　か聴こえなかった。 　　皆、あの妖怪桜に狂わされていただけの様に見える。あの桜は人の精 　　気を吸いすぎている。常々危険だと思っていた。思ってはいたが、自 　　分の力ではどうしようも無い事も分っていた。 　　紫は幽々子が生きていた頃から知っている。実は、幽々子が妖怪桜に 　　封印されているのではなく、幽々子の亡骸が妖怪桜を封印している、 　　という事も。

Immaterial and Missing Power - 上海アリス通信.txt

Translated *Border of Phantasm Yukari Yakumo Species: Youkai Location: Unknown Ability: Manipulation of Boundaries A youkai living in Gensokyo. As these letters (妖怪) tell, she is dubious and suspicious. It's said that she lives in a mansion located at the edge of Gensokyo, but nobody knows where it really is. For some reason she knows a lot about the outside world too. That makes her very suspicious. Her personality is hardly understandable, but everyone agrees that it's not something pleasant. Many people don't want to meet her, if possible. Usually, only Reimu bothers to deal with her. Her fighting style is completely different from a human's measure. It's neither fast nor heavy-hitting. It is uncertain whether she is really tough or not. Her attitude makes you think as if you're being teased by her, which is really irritating even if you manage to defeat her. However, no one can match her in sincerely caring about Gensokyo, and loving it with all her heart.

Original Text 　○幻想の境界 　　八雲　紫（やくもゆかり） 　　種族：妖怪 　　住処：不明 　　能力：境界を操る程度の能力 　　　幻想郷の妖怪。文字通り妖しくて怪しい。幻想郷の境にある屋敷にす 　　むと言うが、その場所は知られていない。何故か外の世界にも詳しい。 　　非常に胡散臭い。 　　　性格は理解不能だが、決して良い物ではないという所はは誰もが認め 　　る所である。出来る限りなら会いたくないと思われている。普段は霊夢 　　位しかまともに相手をしてくれない。 　　　体術も、人間の基準とは異なる動きをする。速くもなく重くもない。 　　強いのか弱いのかすら計り知れない。遊ばれている様に見える紫の行動 　　は、例え勝ったとしてもなんか腹立たしい。 　　　しかしながら、彼女ほど幻想郷と真摯に接し、幻想郷を愛している者 　　もいない。

Imperishable Night - Manual

Translated Youkai of Boundaries, Yukari Yakumo A youkai living at the edge of Gensokyo. Her ability allows her to manipulate boundaries. It is uncertain how long she has been alive, but her existence at least predates the history of Gensokyo itself. Her personality is hard to understand; unlike other long-lived entities, she displays none of the bitterness commonly associated with old age. She is difficult to approach, but that's due more to her deviousness than any uneasy feeling that people may have around her. She owns one shikigami, and lets her shikigami do all her daily chores for her. Yukari herself always leads an easy life. From that shikigami's perspective, it's like her master is holding her hostage, so it's quite maddening. The danger and potency of the power to manipulate boundaries is beyond imagination. It's something that can only be controlled by those who are able to withstand its stress, or some weirdo youkai like Yukari. A shikigami is a potent weapon. Yukari treats hers like an item. Notes She teams up with Reimu this time. Normal speed only applies when she's used as a solo character. As in daily life, she leaves all the work to her shikigami. Once locked on to a target, her shikigami pursues and attacks it until either Yukari stops shooting or the target falls. Be aware that you must move in front of an enemy to acquire a target lock. Recommended for players who believe that a laid-back life is best.

Original Text 　○境界の妖怪　八雲　紫（やくもゆかり） 　　幻想郷の境に住む妖怪。 　　境界を操る程度の能力を持つ。どの位長く生きているのか不明だが幻想郷の歴史よりは長いはず。 　　誰から見ても心が読めない性格は、長く生きる者特有の嫌味を感じない。 　　割と近寄りがたいが、その理由は威圧感と言うより、胡散臭さにある。 　　一人の式神を遣い、雑用を任せっきり。本人は気楽なものである。 　　式神はある意味人質を取られてる様なもんだからたまんない。 　　境界（結界）を操る事がどれだけ危険で強大な力なのかは計り知れない。 　　紫の様なちょっと変わった妖怪か、力の重圧に耐えられる者で無いとその力は扱えないのだ。 　　武器は式神。道具扱い。 　　　　備考 　　　　今回は霊夢と組む。 　　　　高速移動は単独使用時のみの性能である。 　　　　式神に任せっきりの人生。式神は一度ロックすれば、ショットを止めるか敵が死ぬまで 　　　　ロックしっぱなしになる。ただし、最初のロックはある程度正面の敵しかロックしない。 　　　　まったりこそ人生、という人向け。

Imperishable Night - キャラ設定.txt

Translated Youkai that lurks in the boundary Yukari Yakumo Species: Youkai Ability: Manipulation of Boundaries She lives somewhere on the boundary between Gensokyo and the outer world. Since most people can't see the border, no one is certain exactly where she lives. They know only that she does not live near the Hakurei Shrine, which is also located on the boundary. She is one of the oldest beings in Gensokyo and has the power to prove it. Gensokyo's origins have been long forgotten by humans and even most youkai, but it seems that she still remembers some part of it. She is often described as devious; that's mainly because she doesn't think like a human, so others find her actions quite difficult to comprehend. She easily has enough power to annihilate all of Gensokyo if she so desires, so it's probably a good thing that she is somewhat weird...

Original Text 　○境目に潜む妖怪 　　八雲　紫（やくも　ゆかり） 　　Yukari Yakumo 　　種族：妖怪 　　能力：境界を操る程度の能力 　　幻想郷の境の何処かにすむ妖怪。 　　境自体は普通の人には見えない為、何処に住んでいるのか不明。 　　最低でも同じ境上にある神社ではない。 　　幻想郷に住む妖怪の中では、かなり昔から存在し力も強大である。今 　　では幻想郷そのもののことを良く知っている者は、妖怪の中でも数少 　　ない。彼女は胡散臭く見られるが、それは人間っぽさが少なく、行動 　　が理解出来ない所為でもある。その能力は、困ったら簡単に幻想郷を 　　潰す事もできる危険な妖怪でもある。

Subterranean Animism - キャラ設定.txt

Translated The Youkai of Boundaries Yukari Yakumo Species: Youkai Ability: Power to Manipulate Borders. A youkai who comes and goes where she pleases; no-one ever seems to know where she is. This time, she's made yin-yang orbs that let you talk to her. Since the underground youkai have built up a society separate from that of the youkai above ground, she doesn't seem to want to interfere. The sudden appearance of the evil spirits puzzled her. She didn't want it to turn into some major event, so she sent Reimu, who had relatively little influence on things, to investigate.

	Translated · In battle mode, kind of like a boss. (Shikigami Deployment Mode) · Ran is in Chinese style dress because Yukari is in Chinese style dress. · Her hair is long, but in battle mode she has it tucked in her cap. · Maybe this is a little too complex.

Translated 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."
