app tiem [i]Name[/i]: Nue Houjuu [i]Gender[/i]: Female. [i]Appearance[/i]: [img]https://en.touhouwiki.net/images/4/40/ThGKNue.png[/img] Nue has short black hair and dark red eyes, three red metallic-looking wings on the right side of her back, and three blue arrow-shaped tails coming out from her left side. She carries a trident, has a snake on her right arm (which might be the Seed of Unknown Form), and also wears a black wristband on her left wrist. Her dress is all black with blue and white trim in the middle, a red bow on the front, and a small, yin-yang-like tomoe design at the bottom corner of the skirt of her dress. She wears black thigh-high stockings and red shoes with bows on them. Also, zettai ryouiki. [i]Personality[/i]: Nue is a very mischievous girl who reacts badly to anyone finding her true form and enjoys some rather malicious pranks. Despite this, when she found out about how Byakuren Hijiri's followers were friendly to youkai, she did feel a bit of guilt over her actions. For her, all the other persons are young, and usually refers to them in this terms due to her nature of Ancient Youkai. After the Myouren incident, she does go to her temple to train. She isn't well-acquainted with the other youkai at the Myouren Temple, and can apparently be frequently seen near the edges of the property, looking bored. [i]Species[/i]: Nue. Typical example of naming your son "Man". [i]Ablities:[/i] Making objects unidentifiable Nue is able to conceal the true nature of other objects, an ability she displayed in Undefined Fantastic Object to conceal the nature of the fragments of the Flying Vault. An object that has lost its "identity" will appear to be a different thing depending on who observes it. The observer's brain will then attempt to fill in the blanks itself. Nue has made said to Reimu Hakurei "it was terrible when my true form was revealed," which indicates that her human-shaped form is her true form. Besides these, Nue is also capable of danmaku, as with most other characters. [i]Skills:[/i] Pretty good at scaring people. Likely also has some basic livelihood skills. [i]Brief Backstory:[/i] Nue Houjuu (封獣　ぬえ Houjuu Nue) is said to be one of the most mysterious and feared youkai in many years, yet has been defeated by humans many times. There are many differing legends according to her appearance because she hides her "true form". At some point, she was sealed underground, and because of the events of Subterranean Animism, she resurfaced back in Gensokyo. [hider=Official Character Profile] A great curiosity. An extremely mysterious youkai that flies the night sky. That is Nue. She's been defeated by humans many times before, but each time, accounts of her appearance are different. According to one legend, she had the head of a monkey, the body of a raccoon dog, the legs of a tiger, and the tail of a snake. According to yet another legend, she had the head of a cat, the body of a chicken, and the tail of a snake. These legends were all made up, though. In reality, she never showed people her true form. She just enjoyed watching humans get frightened and imagine all sorts of strange things from afar. That was her daily work. Eventually she got tired of that and leisurely spent a long time deep beneath the earth's surface, but she got mixed up in the turmoil surrounding the geyser incident and appeared above ground once more. She saw Murasa and the others who had been underground with her also come above ground and start plotting something. "Ah, finally I can have some fun again", she thought, and decided to give them some trouble by attaching the Seed of Unknown Form to the fragments of the Flying Storage. The Seed of Unknown Form was a small snake-like flying object with no determined form. When people saw it, what they saw depended on their own experience and knowledge. Since Reimu and the others didn't think that a block of wood had any business flying in the sky, they thought it was a round UFO of the sort that most exemplified unidentified flying objects. Murasa and company thought that the fragments of the Flying Storage had been scattered about by the geyser, but it was in fact thanks to the Seed of Unknown Form. In any case, when it looked like others were having fun, Nue would find a way to mess with them from afar. She didn't know what Murasa's group was planning, but she thought it would be funny if they failed. However, humans appeared who seemed happy at the appearance of that unidentified flying object. She was interested to see what sort of human wouldn't be afraid of such a thing. So, she secretly followed them, sometimes helping them, sometimes getting in their way. Eventually she found out that what Murasa was doing would benefit her, too, and came to regret what she'd done. However, Byakuren did not ostracize her for having meddled with her return. The nue thought she would have no choice but to follow the monk for a while. [/hider] [i][u][s]blatantly copied from[/s] ref[/u]: Touhou Wiki Official Character Profile, ZUN[/i]
