[hider=Kochiya Sanae][list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Kochiya Sanae [*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female [*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] [url=https://twitter.com/SHUTOCHIKACHIKA/status/1629821307658592256/photo/1]"Oh, good evening."[/url] Standing at just about 160cm, what makes Sanae stand out the most is her long, vibrantly green hair. Coupled with her usual outfit being one that emphasizes her role as a shrine maiden, though, and she sticks out like a sore thumb. Beyond that, though, her features and build are fairly in-line with one might expect from a Japanese high school or early college student. [*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Sanae is rather earnest as a person, and is more than ready to put her everything into whatever task she sets her mind to. Though initially overconfident when she first arrived in Gensokyo (possibly bordering on arrogance), a swift humbling on the part of the Hakurei miko has since brought her down to earth and reminded her of the fact that she is no more special than any other person, human or otherwise, than those around her. Being compared to the two major regular incident resolvers in Gensokyo (Reimu and Marisa), however, has left her with a burning desire to prove herself. She isn't the type to hold grudges, though, and more often than not is more curious and upbeat about the new and exciting. That being said, Sanae is a bit of a ditz at times. Though she carries with her the upbringing and schooling of a student who was brought up in modern-day Japan (and all of the knowledge that brought with it), book smarts did not necessarily translate into street smarts. The issue was only further exacerbated after moving to Gensokyo, but nowhere near the point of abandoning logic outright. [*][u][b]Brief History:[/b][/u] Born in Suwa in Nagano Prefecture, Sanae grew up more or less as a normal human might haveā€”and might have continued to do so, had the deities Yasaka Kanako and Moriya Suwako not chosen to leave the "Outside World" for Gensokyo. A distant descendant of the latter, Sanae's abnormal penchant towards her supernatural powers gave her reason to follow the two gods over and function as a shrine maiden (or, rather, as a wind priestess, but even she describes the two roles as functionally the same). After arriving to Gensokyo, Sanae declared the Moriya Shrine's intent to take over as the local religious power, but was promptly defeated by the Hakurei shrine maiden. Relations between the shrines have since smoothed over, and Sanae has since become a regular resolver of incidents. She has, for the most part, adjusted to life in Gensokyo well enough, but whether that will hold after she has been dragged to yet another world of fantasy remains to be seen. [*][u][b]Universe of Origin:[/b][/u] Touhou Project [*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Sanae carries upon her a gohei that she uses to both channel the abilities of her patron deities and beat people over the head with. Other than that, she makes liberal usage of ofuda (paper sealing tags) as both offensive and defensive projectiles. [*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] [list][*]Flight: Like almost every major resident of Gensokyo can, Sanae has the ability to fly for extended periods of time. [*]Danmaku: The standard method of combat resolution in Gensokyo, Sanae is able to fire massive amounts of nonlethal projectiles at once, to the point where they might be able to flood a battlefield. Despite their inability to kill, though, they still hurt like nothing else. [*]Divine Invocation: Sanae has the ability to channel the powers of both Kanako and Suwako, and is able to make limited use of their own abilities in the process. In practice, this means that she is able to summon frogs and snakes to attack for her, as well as to create fleeting gusts of wind, pressurized burst of water, clusters of stone, or rings of steel for whatever purposes she might need them for. Though the animals can be used at-will, the elemental abilities are more closely affiliated with the deities in question and thus are contingent upon her having a strong enough connection and enough energy to do so with to begin with. [*]Creation of Miracles: Though rather grandiose by name alone, the "miracles" in question often refer to events that would otherwise have a low likelihood of occurring. Small events can be invoked on a whim, but larger ones (for example, those pertaining to changing the weather for extended periods of time) require long periods of preparation (upwards of a few days in the largest cases).[/list] [*][u][b]Other:[/b][/u] Sanae is a bit of a geek, though the topics she is really aware of are limited past the mid-2000s (in other words, when she moved to Gensokyo). Anything beyond that would be derived from whatever goods might have made their way to Kourindou since, which is itself not a particularly wide array of works to begin with. She [i]also[/i] has a very low tolerance for alcohol, which is a bit of a problem in Gensokyo where drinking is a frequent pastime.[/list][/hider]
