PERSONALITY:
She finds peace in her work, has fun with it and with those she interacts and is content. As a pet, she is able to always come back to someone to act as her mentor when she never had one before. It does bring a sort of comfort. She's fine with being a pet for someone else- in fact, she will pride herself as such because she is the pet of none other than the 'fearsome' Satori. Even if Utsuho may hold more chaotic and destructive power than Satori does, Satori is one of the few that has come to understand and accept her. Befriending Satori has brought new meaning to her, making her as well as other animal-like Youkai of the underworld content with what they do, hardly ever leaving to see the above surface.

She has been described as a 'bird brain', obeying others she likes, and being very impressionable. At the same time she leaves room to do what she likes for herself. She does not think things through to greater extents, leaving her to come off as simple minded. In her mind, things and situations aren't- or rather shouldn't- be as complicated as others make it out to be. This may be due to part of her ability of maintaining those fires. She may see it as a simple task, but those fires themselves are made from the ever so complex nuclear fusion. It's something described as illusionary in-game, but she experiences it and tends to it every day. Before she gained the power of nuclear fusion, she holds some curiosity to how fusion and fission work, but she's never given it much thought. After she gained the power, she inherited that knowledge along with the ability to use it. She's proud of this fact in a way that it's one of the few things she happens to know about more than others do. Unfortunately, her intelligence is limited to physics. Because she has been working in the Hell of Blazing Fires for most of her entire existence, she has very limited knowledge and a grasp of logic. She has never had proper schooling, and is not quite literate. While being called 'bird brained' by her closest friend is one thing, she does not enjoy being mocked with this by others, as is quick to become upset over it.

After she was beaten, Ustuho become amazed by the universe. Stars, suns, fire, and energy-- that is the environment she enjoys most, especially since her part of Hell resembles it. Because of this, she still has a small inclination of wanting to render everything into the particles they once were 13+ billion years ago, only to see the resulting medium conglomerate again. The only reason she does not do this is because she will be punched in the face again by the heroine of the game. As such, her moral compass still fluctuates between the preconventional "Individualism and Exchange" and the conventional "Good Interpersonal Relationships". The Underworld may be vast and has its own sky for her to fly around, but it's certainly not like what she knows of Gensokyo. Before Hell was separated from the Underworld, she rarely ventured above ground. Even running errands for Satori, she hasn't seen much, making her appear sheltered. She's forgotten much about it, but is curious of knowing more of the above ground world for seeing how the Fires of Blazing Hell are tied to it.

Utsuho expresses emotions without a second thought. Over all she may come off as ditzy, simple minded, and child-like, but this makes her an honest person at best. In most cases she will openly feel bad if she has done something wrong (wrong as in, going against Satori). Satori is able to see into the inner mind of someone and invoke fear into them- it's no wonder Satori has tamed Utsuho. For whatever methods Satori has employed to make Utsuho a pet, Utsuho now deeply respects and cares for Satori. It's a habit developed from countless years of being a pet to someone who can read her mind. It is not that she's bad a lying or hiding something, but rather that she's so akin to having others openly read her that she doesn't bother. For the same reason, she believes it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. Because of her power, this is rather easy for her to do- in a way that 'if you don't forgive me, I'll burn you'. She may shift from surprised to boastful to itching for a fight within the same response. It is a quick decomposition of emotions; however, she is just as quick to forget her anger and sadness over little things as she is to become angry or upset about them. Similarly, she bounces from being courteous to being rude. However, this rudeness is not intentional; without her master or someone else to tell her (or beat it into her) otherwise, she will not think anything is wrong with her behavior. On some level, she knows she may quickly change from one emotion to the next. Thankfully, she may distract herself by spending energy enough so that she won't have the energy to be upset any longer.

Utsuho is gullible and easily controlled. For example, if someone extends a tray of mystery meat X saying she should try it- she will. In this way, she trusts strangers and others enough to believe in them. If she is hurt, she knows she may deal ten-fold damage back to them. On the other hand, it will take her a great deal of thought to realize she has been wronged in the first place. To a certain extent, she knows she's not the brightest- so she puts some blame of falling into another's trap on her own lack of intelligence. For this reason she depends on Satori to tell her what is right and wrong, much like a child. Unfortunately this dependence may be extended to strangers in other situations, with the result of her being trapped in her own circular logic of trusting others to know who to trust.

When she fights, she tends to sober up. It's possibly the one of the few things in her life that she knows how to do well (besides tending to the Fires). She prides herself in her fights because it not only is a good way to have fun, but it is also a means for her to calm herself. In a way this is its own form of meditation. She uses it as a means to cool down. A fight is a way to forget her anger or frustrations. Unfortunately, in the Former Hell there's very few that are able to withstand her power. So she ends up using the 'punching pillows' tactic- shooting the Fires of Blazing Hell with her own power.

ABILITIES:
First, her powers will be explained. Second, and more importantly, how they will be limited will be proposed. As her powers are highly godmoddy, I am open for more suggestions on limiting these abilities.
Before Utsuho gained the power of basically becoming her own nuclear reactor and bubble chamber, she claimed that she was the most powerful hell raven. While this may or may not be true, the goddess Kanako recognized her power, choosing her over other underworld demons. Utsuho maintains the Hell of Blazing Fires in the Underworld, spending most of her time in the Nuclear Furnace. while she could not directly control the (apparent) nuclear reactions that happened there, she could indirectly control them. If they grew too cold, she fed them energy, mostly by tossing in the corpses of the dead sinners (human or otherwise) brought to her by another demon. If the Fires grew too hot, she cooled them down by releasing vents of power into the surface. Geologically, this would mean causing an upward pressure of magma- perhaps causing earthquakes and volcanoes- natural disasters of which she is not aware. On a smaller scale, subterranean pressure relates to the formation of sub-ocean vents and geysers. Over all, this means her natural born talent lies within controlling friction and pressure- enough to boil and melt rock, ignite matter, and influence plate tectonics. Naturally, she remains unaffected by radiation and fire.


Utsuho has the ability "to the extent of manipulating nuclear fusion and fission". She is radioactive, enough to set off Geiger counters and induce nausea and vomiting onto inspecting people within ten minutes. In canon, her power of nuclear fusion and fission is described as the "ultimate energy", a perfectly green fuel source "that distorts even time", influences gravity, and is an "illusionary" power. It's a source of creation and destruction of energy, matter, and information- the bane of alchemy and physics alike. Of course, having recently obtained these powers, even Utsuho does not know how to fully use them, the extent of which is limited by her own imagination. This makes her appear as extraordinarily dangerous and erratic, switching between different modes of attack for lack of experience. On the other hand, like the subatomic particles she controls, her attacks do have a pattern to them- similar to watching charged particles move about in a bubble chamber. Evading her attacks is similar to evading raditation in a nuclear reactor; the best way to not be hit is to fire back or to attempt to cancel out an attack. This video shows Utsuho's attack pattern, slowed down to 15fps. Besides these abilities, she is shown to be talented in hand-to-hand combat and aerial attacks.

And now to limit these abilities!
Obviously, things would be disastrous for everyone should even a miniature sun be created in the middle of the island. For this ability, she will have an even smaller sun at her disposal, on the scale of bullets. Her Danmaku, or her bullet curtain, will also be reduced. The video linked shows her pattern on one of the hardest modes. For the purposes of this game, this ability will be reduced to "Normal Mode". (This video shows her on Normal Mode, beginning around 2:20.) In fact, all of her powers that are described with spell cards will be reduced to the "Normal Mode" variant. [If this is not reduced enough, I would be willing to put her on "Easy Mode" (See this video, beginning around 2:07.)]
Because in EV all abilities are limited, including natural healing tendencies, Utsuho herself will be effected by her own radioactivity. Because she emits it subconsciousnessly, this will force her to put her own cap on her powers. Whenever she uses her nuclear-related powers (such as creating a sun), she will suffer some of these consequences herself.

POSSESSIONS:
Her clothes, basically. The "legs" are all inseparable from her.
