History Characters / TouhouShinreibyouTenDesires

** When Kosuzu tells Mamizou her worries about Reimu's trustworthiness in Chapter 11, despite having a mental laugh at Reimu's expense she chooses not to encourage this train of thought, even though it would probably make her own plans a lot easier.
** Also from Chapter 11, when Kosuzu confides in her about her worries over Kokoro's Noh play (mistakenly believing it to steal human emotions), she helps create a new play for Kokoro ([[IShouldWriteABookAboutThis based on the events of]] ''[[IShouldWriteABookAboutThis Hopeless Masquerade]]''), managing to put Kosuzu at ease, ensure Kokoro still has a way to stabilize her emotions, and create a play all the villagers can understand and enjoy, all without any notable benefit to herself.

** When Kosuzu tells Mamizou her worries about Reimu's trustworthiness, despite having a mental laugh at Reimu's expense she chooses not to encourage this train of thought, even though it would probably make her own plans a lot easier.
** In Chapter 37 of ''Forbidden Scrollery'' it's revealed that Mamizou got Kosuzu home after she fainted upon seeing the umatsuki.

* FloweryElizabethanEnglish: In translation, to reflect her usage of a very archaic dialect of Japanese.

* PseudoSanta: Despite the fact that Gensokyo doesn't celebrate Christmas. [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru_Newspaper_4 It's kind of complicated.]]

* BadSanta: Despite the fact that Gensokyo doesn't celebrate Christmas. [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Symposium_of_Post-mysticism/Bunbunmaru_Newspaper_4 It's kind of complicated.]]

** In ''Manga/ForbiddenScrollery'', she encourages Kosuzu to summon the [[TheWildHunt Night Parade]] to create minor youkai that the Tanuki can recruit. She also helps Reimu find out that Kosuzu is doing this, and then encourages Kosuzu to summon the Night Parade just once a month so not to attract attention.
** Result: Even when Reimu and Marisa find out the Tanuki are recruiting the Night Parade youkai, they don't punish or even stop them or Mamizou. Kosuzu continues to summon the Night Parade at a slower pace, thus providing the Tanuki with followers.
** She continues the mind game by deliberately giving Kosuzu a pro-Tanuki book that she wrote herself in front of Reimu, and Reimu can't say anything that would reveal her own close involvement with youkai.

** In Chapter 38 of ''Forbidden Scrollery'', as payback for the tengu badmouthing the tanuki in their newspapers, she transforms into Reimu to get the Night Parade scroll from Kosuzu, and then uses it to create more tsukumogami to whisper things discrediting newspapers in the eyes of villagers via word of mouth.
--->'''Mamizou:''' Social media kills newspapers.

* PathOfInspiration: Tried to use Buddhism as one of these. Her debates with Byakuren in ''Symposium of Post-Mysticism'' are... interesting.

*** The latter is, however, contradicted at least in the gameplay of ''Hopeless Masquerade''. Transforming an opponent into a harmless animal '''does''' prevent the opponent from attacking, an ally of hers transformed into a kettle '''can''' deal damage with the resulting steam, transforming into a [[TakenForGranite Jizo statue]] makes Mamizou dangerously heavy, etc. According to [[TheWikiRule the wiki]], "while the ability is described as a simple disguise, it isn't a mere illusion and actually influences and changes the physical properties of the target," bringing Mamizou to a status closer to that of a RealityWarper than a mere MasterOfDisguise.

* BonusBoss: The EX boss of ''Ten Desires.''

* OffModel: Her portrait in her debut appears to give her two right hands.

* OffModel: One of her images in ''Hopeless Masquerade'' gives her 6 fingers on her right hand.

* AscendedExtra: Was just a BonusBoss with no direct relation to the events of the main story. ''Manga/ForbiddenScrollery'' would turn her into a main character, and the closest thing the manga has to a lead antagonist, and she's been a major character ever since.

-->'''Mamizou:''' Social media kills newspapers.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The leader of the Taoists and a prince, and their most powerful warrior.

* HistoricalGenderFlip: She's a genderswapped Prince Shoutoku, though it's never explained how the fact that she was female became obscured over time.

* SignatureHeadgear: Wears a pair of headphones which she uses to block out all the desires she'd constantly hear otherwise.

* SignatureHeadwear: Wears a pair of headphones which she uses to block out all the desires she'd constantly hear otherwise.

* DifficultySpike: She is an absolute ''monster'' at danmaku. Her followers and the mooks she attracted are most definitely not. Provided you're playing on normal, anyway.

* TheTransmogrifier: She can change other people's shapes as well as her own. As of ''Hopeless Masquerade'' 1.30 she is able to [[BalefulPolymorph transform the opponent into various animals]] by using the spell card ''Transformation "Futatsuiwa Family's Curse"''. [[note]]Reimu into a white fox on a Yin Yang orb, Marisa into a raven with a witch hat, Ichirin into a monkey riding a goofy Unzan, Byakuren into a mouse who uses her beads as a hamsterwheel, Futo into a chicken on a plate, Miko into an owl, Nitori into a turtle with helicopter rotors, Koishi into a black cat sitting on top of her third eye, Kokoro into a tengu mask, [[MirrorMatch Mamizou]] into a tanuki trying to hide under a leaf, Shinmyoumaru into a clam in her bowl, Mokou into a Fire Rat, Kasen into a snake wrapped around a blue orb, Sumireko into a bakebake from PC-98 era, Reisen into a rabbit, Doremy into a tapir, Tenshi into a catfish, Yukari into an axolotl, and the Yorigami sisters into a pair of butterflies.[[/note]] All characters transformed by her [[MorphicResonance keep a few of their signature traits while in animal form]].

* NiceHat: A cap with a star on it. More than a few people have noticed that the star makes the cap look remarkably like Meiling's beret.

* NiceHat: Wears a tate-eboshi. Unlike Tojiko, her hat matches the kariginu robe she wears and is a part of a shinto priest's uniform.

* NiceHat: In ''Hopeless Masquerade'' and ''Urban Legend in Limbo'', she wears a leaf-like hat with a bow and a pair of bells on it.

* TheEchoer: Zigzagged. As a yamabiko {{Youkai}}, her job is to reflect voices from people and turn them into echoes, but she's more than capable of normal speech as shown in ''[[VideoGame/TouhouShinreibyouTenDesires Ten Desires]]'' and various side material. That said, her echoing ability has its limits when it comes to math equations. This is because yamabikos are BookDumb, so if someone shouts a math equation (even something as simple as 1+1), she will not reciprocate it back as an echo.

* LittleBitBeastly: Visually, she has the ears of a [[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB:Suushi_Yama-biko.jpg Yamabiko]]. While the kind of animal the Yamabiko is supposed to be [[CartoonCreature is ambiguous at best]], ''Symposium of Post-Mysticism'' has confirmed that she has a tail and a lot of fans make her to be a cute dog.

* {{Meganekko}}: The first in the series for quite some time.

* RapunzelHair: Has noticeable long hair while in her human guise reaching past her waist.

-->''"You always gotta give a proper greeting!"''

-->''"Um... what was I guarding..."''

-->''"The folks in Hell consider you evil just for living a long life. How rude."''

-->''"I’ll take you down!"''

-->''"Though apart from creed, Buddhism and I have a profound connection. It moveth me most deeply... shall I start a fire?"''

* DeathFromAbove: ''Hopeless Masquerade'' version 1.30 gives her a spellcard named Fate "Gate Opening for Catastrophe" that causes objects to fall on her opponent. What exactly falls depends on the number of plates Futo is close to when she activates the spell. At it's lowest level the spellcard drops buckets and pots. At the highest level ''it drops a UFO''. ([[ContinuityNod So that's where they went.]] [[{{Irony}} And to think that of all people, she'd be the one to drop UFOs...]])

-->''"This era, when humans deny my existence and I have become legend, is what I was waiting for! Now, attempt to defeat me! And I shall become a living legend!"''

-->"I had actually planned to [[HopeBringer become the hope of this world]], but I will concede to you."

-->''"My transformative powers are still at their prime. Now, shall we begin a ten-game match of danmaku transformations?"''

--> '''Marisa:''' Sure, but you're still a tanuki, right? The kind that drums on their bellies on the night of the full moon, right?

* AdjustingYourGlasses: She uses the bridge variety.
