History}
Touhou Wiki article on Utsuho. Touhou Wiki article on the events of Subterranean Animism.
There was a time where both Hell and the Underworld were one in the same. Sinners and the dead ended up there, but after sometime it grew too populous, and so the Yama decided to separate Hell to a different area. Thus, the highest layer of the Underworld is also known as a 'Former Hell'. It has been acknowledged in game that youkai of the underground have exceptionally "fearsome, detestable powers", often described of as "cursed" or "abominable". At some point in Touhou history, these youkai and oni started to inhabit the Underworld, in exchange for promising to not allow the malevolent spirits to return to the above world. However, Utsuho herself is an umbran youkai known as a Hell Raven- she is not of those Youkai that came to inhabit the Underworld; she is an original resident of Hell. In fact, she had inhabited the Hell of Blazing Fires since before the Underworld was separated from Hell. To her it has always been a simple life to tend to fire, although she draws some sense of satisfaction from it. She neither minds how there are now new residents in the Underworld, nor how the Underworld is no longer a part of Hell. Utsuho remained in the Hell of Blazing Fires with her friend- a cat-youkai named Rin. At this time, another Youkai named Satori decided to take in Utsuho and Rin as 'pets', giving Utsuho more than a purpose than to maintain the Hell of Blazing Fires. Even if she was content with her job before, she now gained a sense of belonging. She listens to Satori, going on errands now and then besides tending to the Hell of Blazing Fires.
As a Hell Raven, traditionally she is known to scavenge and eat the corpses of the dead. Her friend Rin (a cat demon) carts the corpses of the dead to the Hell of Blazing Fires. Presumably, any extra corpses not tossed into the Fires is eaten by Utsuho.
AU History} N/A
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 is a good way to have fun. 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. Unfortunately during a fight, she can also become too invested. She isn't the most graceful of losers, that's for sure.
Abilities}
++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. She also tends to fall into using the same attack patterns instead of coming up with something new to use, which limits her further.
++She can fly. Like all Touhous can.
++Spell cards 1.
++Spell cards 2.
++A description of her common spell cards.
++As shown in the various spell cards, she can use her arm cannon as a either a control rod for her abilities or a literal canon. She can also become a star herself.
Baggage}
Just her clothes. Her arm cannon and cement coffin "boot" appear from nowhere when she goes into battle mode. The gods' eyes on her chest stays.
Notes}
She eats corpses, which I think is fair to warn about.
