History Characters / TouhouEiyashouImperishableNight

* InterfaceScrew: her night-blindness power reduces the player's field of view.

* ThousandYardStare: Her portrait seems to depict this.

::'''Tei/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Tewi]] Inaba'''

* CatSmile: She's often shown with one of these, befitting her mischievous nature; prime examples include her appearance in ''Manga/TouhouIbarakasenWildAndHornedHermit'' or on the [[http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=CGD2-61809 Gift plushie]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her given name has also been spelled "Tewi". However, the "wi" character has been rendered obsolete in modern Japanese, and is pronounced the same as the Japanese "i" anyway. Considering that Tei is supposed to be [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld over 1200 years of age]], the "wi" character could have been chosen as a nod to her actual age, despite her childish looks and attitude. See also Tenshi's entry.

* CatSmile: She sports a smug smile in her appearance in ''Forbidden Scrollery'', mostly when she's explaining her rat-repelling cat statue to Marisa.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: K-S Romanization - Huziwara no Mokou.

* ArcherArchetype: Calm, cunning, often depicted with a bow and arrows,[[note]]She's merely holding a bow and arrow in-game, with no arrow danmaku or shooting animation, but was depicted firing danmaku from her bow in her illustration in ''The Grimoire of Marisa''[[/note]] and effectively a SpaceElf to boot.

* DropTheHammer: Her secondary weapon in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' is a [[ImprobableWeapon mochi hammer]] used in tandem with the kunekune.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In ''Antimony of Common Flowers'', she offhandedly mentions that she prefers to fight as the slave. In gameplay, playing her as the slave helps mitigate her weakness, as the green health she drains gets regenerated and the leftover grey health is still used as a slave

* IAmNotWeasel: A MoonRabbit who moves to Earth and starts calling herself an earth rabbit, despite being a different species. Most Earthlings treat her as a {{Youkai}} rabbit, which technically isn't true, but Reisen probably wouldn't have much success in trying to explain the difference.

* FinalBoss: Of the A-route of ''Imperisable Night''.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In the first Moon Invasion when Eirin was still a respected sage, '''[[TheArchmage Yukari]]''' of all people got caught in one of her traps. The gap youkai still bears a grudge for that...
** DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Fortunately however, neither Yukari nor Eirin recognize each other from that incident. To Eirin, Yukari is just a really powerful youkai to watch out for, while Yukari believes Eirin is a Lunarian spy who hasn't been shown the ropes in Gensokyo (she tries to teach her to fear youkai, since she lives as a human). Ironically ties in with an almost-literal take on the trope when Yukari serves Eirin sake.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: The plot of ''Imperishable Night'' is caused by Eirin trying to protect the Lunarian fugitives from possible arrest by the authority of the Moon. Eirin is afraid that everyone in Gensokyo is secretly trying to sell out her and her charges, which is justified when you look at the relationship between Gensokyo and the Lunarians. Help us, Eirin.

* ManipulativeBitch: Has no issue using others as pawns if necessary, save for Kaguya, even her own pupils Reisen and the Watatsuki sisters.

* PreFinalBoss: Is the midboss of Stage 6's B Route.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: There's no real precedent for "ex-Lunarian living on Earth" in Gensokyo's usual human/youkai divide, though Kaguya and Eirin chose to live as the former. Yukari taking umbrage with them (mainly Eirin) choosing to live like humans, but not "paying rent" by fearing youkai, led to the events of ''Manga/TouhouBougetsushou''.

* HimeCut: Being based off of Kaguya-''Hime'', this is hardly a surprise.

* PrincessesPreferPink: She wears a pink shirt with wide sleeves.

* SpaceElf: As a Lunarian she pretty much is one.

* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: What Princess Kaguya was in "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter".

* DeathSeeker: Her story mode in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' has her seeking the Occult Balls after finding out that one of them comes from Yomotsuhirasaka [[note]]the path to the underworld walked by Izanagi to find his dead wife[[/note]] in order to see if she can finally die by opening the gates to the underworld. Though she seems to drop the idea after getting to Kasen. [[spoiler:She clearly hasn't in Reisen's story.]]

* {{Fireballs}}: Most famously uses them in sprays themed after a phoenix's tail.

* SpontaneousHumanCombustion: Her "urban legend" in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' focuses on this. Of course, it is more like a case of self-immolation with her setting herself suddenly on fire and she can recover from it what with being immortal.
** Notably, Mokou is one of the only characters to ''not'' notice that she obtained it as her urban legend in the first place (usually, you're able to choose one yourself), partially due to this already being part of her fighting style and partially because her reclusiveness has allowed her to remain blissfully ignorant of the incident for the most part.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: In [[spoiler:Reimu's Pointdevice route ending from ''Legend of the Lunatic Kingdom'']], Tei asks Reimu about her battle against Junko because she is looking for [[spoiler:'''Lunarians'''']] weak points. Whether Tei's intentions are to actually [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu befriend the]] [[spoiler:Lunarians]] or [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu blackmail them]] with said knowledge, or even if she is simply [[spoiler:[[CrazyPrepared preparing herself just in case Eirin and Kaguya try to double cross her one day]]]], only time will tell.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Reisen's scenario of ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'' more or less revolves around her CharacterDevelopment and her feelings about the Moon she left behind.

* TheApprentice: Is Eirin's in medicine to some extent.

* BadassInANiceSuit: She only wore a suit jacket in her first game appearance, and exclusively wore short-sleeved dress shirts in all subsequent games, but the suit has become her IconicOutfit.

* CatSmile: She sports one in her appearance in ''Forbidden Scrollery'', mostly when she's explaining her rat-repelling cat statue to Marisa.

* FriendlyEnemy: Despite technically being enemies due to Mokou's feud with Kaguya, she and Reisen have a mostly cordial relationship as revealed in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'', even if Mokou can be slightly condescending towards her. Two of Reisen's victory quotes even have her invite Mokou to Eientei to see a moon viewing, one by her own prerogative and the other by Kaguya's suggestion.

* MeaningfulName: Eirin gave Reisen the surname "Udongein" from the lunar udonge, a plant created by Lunarians which blooms into the Jewelled Branch of Hourai in the presence of impurity. On the Moon seeing an udonge blossom is cause for alarm, while on Earth it is legendary for its beauty. As such, Kaguya is unsure whether Eirin was thinking of Reisen as a canary to measure the effects of impurity on themselves, or as a mundane thing that would only become beautiful when brought to Earth.

* MoonRabbit: Though she lacks the mochi hammer motif until ''Urban Legend in Limbo'', which has her using a mochi hammer and a kunekune in a mochi pot.

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Aside from the fact that she's a fugitive from the Moon, by ''Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom'' her stay on Earth has made her about as impure as any other living thing.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: It isn't made very clear just how human Mokou is anymore. On one hand, her species is referred to as "Human", unlike many other trans-humans like Byakuren, Tenshi and Miko. However, the effects of the Hourai Elixir means that she is way above any regular human, with her regeneration abilities possibly meaning that [[TheseusShipParadox her original body is effectively gone]]. This is further made confusing by the fact that [[spoiler:Mizuchi is able to possess her]] like she was a youkai, suggesting that she is definitely not just a human anymore.

* BlueBlood: From the powerful [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujiwara_clan Fujiwara clan]].

* BonusBoss: Of the Extra Stage of ''Imperishable Night.''

* CombatSadomasochist: Possibly, if Marisa's remarks in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' are to be believed.

* TheCynic: Oooooh boy. It's especially apparent in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'', when her DeathSeeker side is in full force. She even flat out tells Ichirin if she beats her in VS mode that if monks actually saved people, the world would be a paradise by now.

* ForgetsToEat: Only one of the many ways in which Mokou neglects her immortal body. She'll never actually die of hunger no matter how long she goes without eating, and she actually thinks that it's more her style to endure some hunger pains rather than look for food. However, when it gets to be too much pain, she will go ahead and make something to eat.

* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Mokou and Kaguya are constantly literally killing each other so this comes naturally.

* TrueFinalBoss: Of the [=PS4=] version of ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' in Reisen's campaign.

An earth rabbit youkai and leader of the earth rabbits of Eientei. Her explicit power is the ability to bring good luck to people, but usually she's just a prankster.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: In [[spoiler:Reimu's Pointdevice route ending from ''Legend of the Lunatic Kingdom'']], Tei asks Reimu about her battle against Junko because she is looking for [[spoiler:'''Lunarians'''']] weak points. Whether Tei's intentions is to actually [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu befriend the]] [[spoiler:Lunarians]] or [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu blackmail them]] with said knowledge, or even if she is simply [[spoiler:[[CrazyPrepared preparing herself just in case Eirin and Kaguya try to double cross her one day]]]], only time will tell.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Canon and the majority of the Fanon usually draw her barefoot. The bonus materials of Volume 7 of ''Wild and Horned Hermit'' lampshade the fact that even in winter she's still barefoot.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Canonically, she wears boots, but in many doujins and companion works, she's often drawn and depicted with a child-like distaste for shoes - likely due to her preference for [[KickChick kicks]] in combat. She even goes barefoot in snow, though in her defense as a pyromancer, she's never in danger of catching cold or even finding it uncomfortable.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Reisen's pistol in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' resembles a megaphone, and she can scream into it to blast her opponents with sound waves.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Finding Kaguya and getting into that cycle of mutual murders was a step '''up''' for Mokou after she spent most of her immortal life alone, alienated a from society that was suspicious and frightened of her agelessness. She also claims she went insane for 300 years and destroyed anyone who got near her. Notable for being the ''only'' immortal character in the entire series to not think LivingForeverIsAwesome, although she seems to have come to terms with her situation, finally.

* TheDragon: Noted to be both stronger and [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration harder]] than the final boss Kaguya.

* PublicDomainCharacter: Marisa's comments on her "Ancient Duper" Last Word in ''The Grimoire of Marisa'' all but confirm that she indeed ''the'' White Hare of Inaba from the Kojiki.

* ShoutOut: One of her spellcards is named after ''VideoGame/TheGameOfLife''.

* BloodKnight: Played Straight for a long time half a century ago, but now she's a downplayed/zig-zagged example:
** On one hand, she's not actively looking for a fight (unless it's Kaguya, in which case the fandom will have her busting down walls on some occasions to fight her). On the other hand, if anyone is brave or stupid enough to challenge or annoy her, she won't say no to a fight. But usually how much enjoyment she gets out of a fight depends on who it's with:
*** If it's just some faceless youkai, she'll usually accept out of boredom/annoyance as she literally has all the time in the world.
*** But if it's Kaguya, other immortal beings such as the Taoist hermits or celestials, or someone she knows is powerful like Reimu or Marisa, reactions in-universe and in fanfiction can range between a GrinOfAudacity to a PsychoticSmirk. If you think we're joking, this is how she reacted to finding out that Futo has "experienced death once before" (not knowing that Futo's [[SoulJar method of obtaining immortality]] isn't as "perfect" as hers):
-->'''Mokou:''' ''"Hehehe, well that's a shocker. How interesting. I accept your challenge! Let's have a match to see which of us dies first!"''

** After Kaguya shamed her father, Mokou sought to get back at her by stealing an item Kaguya left for the Emperor of Japan that was in transit to be destroyed. This item would turn out to be the Hourai Elixer and Mokou gave in to temptation and killed the man who was holding it and took it for herself, something she would later regret.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: It isn't made very clear just how human Mokou is anymore. On one hand, her species is referred to as "Human" as oppose to many other trans-humans like Byakuren, Tenshi and Miko. However, the effects of the Hourai Elixir means that she is way above any regular human, with her regeneration abilities possibly meaning that [[TheseusShipParadox her original body is effectively gone]]. This is further made confusing by the fact that [[spoiler:Mizuchi is able to possess her]] like she was a youkai, suggesting that she is definitely not just a human anymore.

* WingedHumanoid: One of her ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' victory poses has her sprout flaming wings from her back, and she uses them for some of her moves.

* WeaponOfChoice: She's often depicted with the Jewelled Branch of Hourai, one of her five impossible requests, and the last of her spell cards based on them.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: Nominally has superiority over Tewi, but in practice the latter basically never listens to what Reisen has to say.

* BoredWithInsanity: Went crazy for about three centuries by her reckoning, or so she tells Keine in ''Literature/CageInLunaticRunagate''. She basically spent her time burning anything and anyone she came across. After that she spent another three hundred years in an apathetic depression doing absolutely ''nothing''.

* WreathedInFlames: Her central mechanic in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' is to basically light herself ablaze to boost her abilities at the cost of health.

* ButtMonkey: A frequent target of humiliation, especially in ''[[GagManga Inaba of the Earth and Inaba of the Moon]]''. One of her entrances in ''Urban Legend in Limbo'' has Tewi outright push her into the arena.
