Koishi Komeiji | Unrealistically Real Imaginary Friend

Appearance

Koishi is a vibrant, green-haired youkai with a penchant for flowers. She is often seen carrying Kokoro's Mask of Hope. She found it fair and square; it's not her fault that Kokoro lost it and wanted it back. Hasn't she ever heard of finders keepers??

Ability
 
Manipulating That Which Is Unthought

	Koishi is able to manipulate and dwell within the subconscious minds of those around her. She can nudge others to temporarily experience the world through their subconscious, often exposing their internal fears and insecurities throughout combat. As a youkai who has no presence in the conscious mind, she can disappear from the perception of others at will, with the exception of small children who have not fully developed their conscious mind. As such, she is often considered a common form of imaginary friend, quickly forgotten as the child grows.

	As an entity without a consciousness, Koishi cannot fully experience Gensokyo, instead perceiving her life through the lens of her subconscious mind. A notable exception to this quirk is her ownership of Kokoro's Mask of Hope, which she can use to experience the true emotion of hope and inspire hope in those around her. If she makes her presence known to someone else and then leaves, their memory of the interaction will gradually fade but the feeling of hope will remain. Koishi has the power to possess susceptible minds but is also vulnerable to possession herself.

History

	Koishi is a satori who once held the ability to read minds. After facing years of ridicule and hatred for her gift, she permanently closed her third eye, sealing off her mind—and her ability—forever. Since her decision, she has wandered Gensokyo in search of unique and curious things; one of the more exciting events she experienced was watching her older sister Satori's pet raven obtain the power of the sun and throw the Underworld into disarray. Seeking the same kind of consciousness for her own pets, she climbed Youkai Mountain to pray; at the top, she ran into Reimu and Marisa and engaged in a danmaku battle. Despite her loss, Koishi decided that these interesting humans might be worth knowing, and for the first time longed for her third eye to open.

Personality

	Koishi's thoughts are often a mess of abstract and ethereal constructs. What she lacks in intentionality, she makes up for in her unrelenting authenticity—Koishi places no real filter on her thoughts and struggles to conceal her motivations from others. Her unapologetic honesty has led to several friends and a handful of enemies, most of whom forget the interaction and relationship before the day's end. Koishi spends a great deal of time fighting the loneliness of her non-existence and is delighted when someone in Gensokyo remembers her, even faintly. Since her encounter with the shrine maiden and the witch, she has participated in more danmaku battles; she believes that her opponents' attacks reveal more about their hearts than their minds ever did.

Other

Koishi has been on bad terms with Kokoro ever since she found and never returned rightfully kept her Mask of Hope.

Koishi recently converted to Buddhism at Byakuren's request, but isn't entirely sure what that means.
