Kaguya Houraisan

“	This half-finished eternal night that you have made... With my spell to manipulate eternity, I'll tear it all away. The dawn shall be upon us soon. How's that? With this, your spell of eternal night shall be broken, and the dawn shall come!	„
	~ Kaguya Houraisan

Summary

Kaguya Houraisan (蓬莱山 輝夜, Houraisan Kaguya) is the former princess of the Moon, banished to Earth for consuming the Hourai Elixir to become immortal. There, she dwelt among the humans and eventually grew to love her new home. Her beauty attracted many suitors, but she refused to marry any of them if they failed to accomplish one of her Five Impossible Requests. Eventually, when the Lunarians forgave her and attempted to retrieve her, she rejected Lunarian society in favor of Earth and escaped with Eirin Yagokoro to the hidden mansion of Eientei.

She is based on a character from a 10th-century Japanese folk-tale, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 2-C

Name: Kaguya Houraisan

Origin: Touhou Project

Gender: Female

Age: At least 1300 years

Classification: Former Lunarian Princess, Immortal

Powers and Abilities:

• Powers and Abilities
• Resistances

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Flight, Immortality (Types 1, 3, and 5. Hourai immortals no longer possess a concept of life and death), Regeneration (Mid-Godly, possibly High-Godly; The core of a Hourai immortal's existence is their soul, and can regenerate from their soul indefinitely. However, Kaguya may regenerate even if her Spirit has been completely absorbed or destroyed. When Kaguya drank the Hourai elixir, she was able to regenerate from repeated execution from the Lunar Capital. This would likely include the abilities of Sagume Kishin, who can manipulate truth, a kind of information that controls reality, and in doing so can control the existence and non-existence of things), Power Bestowal (Eating the liver of a Hourai immortal makes the consumer immortal as well), Danmaku, Spirit Manipulation, Limited Creation & Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1; The process of creating a spell card requires giving it a 'name' to define its form and power, not unlike how the gods gave 'names' to everything at the beginning of reality to give them form from nothingness, albeit on a much smaller scale), Power Modification (Spell card users are capable of changing the traits of any attack or ability by naming it, being able to turn ordinarily lethal attacks into nonlethal ones, or severely restricting the potency of an ability by 'gameifying' it), Magic, Extrasensory Perception (Magic users are sensitive to changes in temperament), Acausality (Type 4; Exists within the Hakurei Barrier, which created a world with a different flow of time and different physical laws. Can act normally within Eientei, which exists outside of time and causality), Acrobatics, Space-Time Manipulation (Can apply "eternity" onto anything she wishes, preventing those affected from undergoing any change and essentially freezing them in time indefinitely, and she can cause things to happen instantaneously. She was able to use her powers to infinitely link pieces of the space-time continuum in order to create an infinite corridor. All spell card users are shown to possess magic circles, which have the properties of slowing anything within their radius down to a near stop. Via the ability to name their spell cards, spell card users are able to distinguish things within space and time), Causality Manipulation (Though her spell of eternity placed over Eientei, she was able to create a space outside of time and history), Fire Manipulation (Divine Treasure "Salamander Shield" can create fire bullets), Light Manipulation (Via spell cards such as Divine Treasure "Life Spring Infinity" and Divine Treasure "Buddhist Diamond"), can perceive multiple timelines at once, Non-Physical Interaction (Can harm Phantoms and Evil Spirits with her regular attacks), Dimensional Travel (Can break through Otherworlds), Enhanced Senses (Has smell superior to a dog's. Can smell death), Probability Manipulation and Fate Manipulation (Unconsciously controls the memory layer of the world, which affects probability and fate),

Resistance to Soul Manipulation (The Hourai Elixir seemingly makes the soul invincible), Madness Manipulation (Lunarians are immune the effects of the true Moon, which can drive humans insane and kill them if they look at it), Probability Manipulation (Kaguya has so much fortune that it cannot be reduced. The Lunar Capital, despite having access to the ability to cause any theoretically possible event to occur, is still incapable of killing Hourai immortals), Disease Manipulation (Two sips of the Hourai Elixir can make one forget all disease and illness), Fire Manipulation (Impossible Request "Robe of Fire Rat -Unhurried Mind-" is described as a fire resistant suit), Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation (Unaffected by being near phantoms, which can passively change the emotions or slowly destroy the minds of anybody they come near), Space-Time Manipulation (Unaffected by the magic circles used by other spell card users, which cause things near them to passively slow down to a near stop), and Soul Absorption (Survived Tenshi absorbing the souls of all living things across Gensokyo and various Otherworlds such as the Netherworld)

Attack Potency: Low Multiverse level (Created an infinite corridor which is composed by infinitely linking gaps in space-time together. Superior to hermits like Miko. As a Lunarian, should be far superior to baku like Doremy)

Speed: Infinite (Comparable to other high tiers such as Reimu)

Lifting Strength: Class 25 (Superior to Miko)

Striking Strength: Low Multiverse level

Durability: Low Multiverse level (Regeneration and immortality make her hard to kill)

Stamina: Superhuman. Kaguya is capable of fighting for hours against Mokou and has a very strong will, allowing her to fight against, kill, and be killed by Mokou over and over again on a near-daily basis. However, she has a problem with doing physical activities due to a lazy nature

Range: At least Tens of Meters with Danmaku (Her firing range should be comparable to Sakuya's, who can throw knives at least 36 meters), Planetary with Eternity Manipulation (Broke the eternal night in Imperishable Night, which stopped the Moon from setting), further with Instant Manipulation (Kaguya seemingly exists within and perceives multiple timelines at once)

Standard Equipment: Her 5 impossible requests; a jeweled branch, the jewel from a dragon's neck, a robe made out of fire rat fur, Buddha's stone begging bowl and a legendary cowrie shell

Intelligence: While Kaguya is somewhat lazy, she is still fairly intelligent, and may have more extensive knowledge due to being around Eirin and thriving within Lunarian society

Weaknesses: Kaguya is lazy and has little experience in hand-to-hand combatant

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Manipulation of Eternity: Kaguya can apply eternity onto other people and objects, trapping them in a state of immutability. Things that possess eternity reject all change; they can't change and cannot be interacted with or affected by outside forces. The exact application of this power varies on the scale and on what it is applied to. It has shown the ability, for example, to stop the growth of plants, stopping the movement of objects such as flowing water or preventing an object from being broken by outside sources. She has also managed to apply "eternity" on a specific situation, such as the lack of history of Eientei. By doing so, she prevented anything from significantly changing there, alongside preventing any "history" of happening to it, which made it impossible for anyone from the outside to find or interact with the place. This spell had lasted years before Kaguya manually undid it.
• Manipulation of the Instantaneous: Through manipulation of the instantaneous, Kaguya can perceive and exist within different timelines, and she can manipulate the instantaneous so that things can happen in a literal instant. Watatsuki no Toyohime described the "instant" (also known as "Femto") as being what makes up time, the smallest unit of time measurable. She used it to compare it to the "Femto Ropes" she used on Yukari, being ropes made out of infinitely small strings all tied on themselves, making them unbreakable. This implies that an "instant" is also infinitely small. Kaguya can use said "instants" to construct the "Endless Corridor" by infinitely linking small gaps of space-time together, effectively creating an infinite corridor.

Spell Cards

• Divine Treasure - Salamander Shield: Kaguya uses her fire rat robe to create a flaming barrier around herself, defending her from attack while burning all those who attempt to make contact with her.
• Impossible Request: Bullet Branch of Hourai - Rainbow Danmaku: Kaguya creates a point in front of her that admits a barrage of small rainbow danmaku. To make it harder to dodge, she sends out larger danmaku in a circle around her. The bullets coming from the circle become less organized and more plentiful as the attack progresses, making it harder to dodge.
• End of Imperishable Night - Morning Mist: Kaguya sends a barrage of projectiles, including knives, butterflies, orbs of energy, and other forms of danmaku in all directions. The spell becomes more plentiful and harder to dodge as the attack progresses from start to finish.
