Example #221: Vague Name Once More
Anime Relations: Inu x Boku SS
This is the Two-hundred-and-twenty-first week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
*Topaz is playing video games*
: So THIS is what you're up to! Aren't you supposed to be doing a blog!
I can't help it! Today's girl is forcing me to play!
: And where is this "girl" of yours? (Y-you have a girl in your room besides me! D-did I do something wrong?).
???: That's right! Topaz is my toy in exchange for allowing him the privilege of doing ME for the blog!
*The mystery girl tightly wraps her pantyhose-clad thighs around Topaz's neck, nearly choking him. He's sitting on the floor while she's on the bed*
: You'd better leave, Topaz and I are going to be playing fighting games after this. We don't need YOU to help!
: N-nonsense! If I were to leave you alone Topaz won't get his blog done. Now release him from your legs!
: I don't know, he seems to be enjoying this, aren't you PERVERT! *Girlfriend grips Topaz's neck tighter*
Can-t... breathe.... *Topaz smacks the sides of the girl's legs in desperation, causing him to game over.*
: *Sigh* REALLY? You can't handle this? Oh well, now that you're dead in the game we might as well play another.
: Topaz! What about your blog!
I'm trying, but she won't let me!
: Well then, I suppose it's time for this plan.
*Ririchiyo pulls her glasses out of her pocket and grabs Topaz's laptop*
: I'll just make it so that you can't resist working on it!
*Ririchiyo opens the laptop and places it on her lap, then sits on Topaz's own lap.*
: There, now you'll do it for sure!
I can't argue with such a cute loli on my lap, so let's get goin-BLERG! *Topaz's sentence is cut short as the mysterious girl kicks her feet against his face*
: No fair! I had him first!
I'll play plenty of games later, but let's get started on today's blog! Hopefully without more kicking...
As a side note, because I haven't read the other books in the series I can only talk about the first series. This is because they aren't translated.
: What are you talking about? They've been translated since last year!
: Mwahaha, I guess that Topaz really DOESN'T research his girls!
Hey, I haven't looked at the series in a while. Besides, I didn't know it was translated until today so give me a break!
Head
Hair: Once again we look upon Girlfriend and see the best that hair can offer. At least, in my opinion. She has very nice black hair, which works well as Houkago Play is a manga-exclusive series. Not only is it black though, it also has a hime cut, which is required for me to give a "perfect score". Her hair is even long, straight, and usually free. It even flows beautifully down her sides as well, though then it tends to melt against her similar-covered shirt so I can't give an idea of how long it is exactly is. I expect it's as long as her actual hair and goes to her feet or so. All in all I really like Girlfriend's hair. It's long, dark, and has a hime cut. Could I really ask for more?
Yes I could. I should mention that she even wears cat ears at one point to attract Boyfriend (his name is as vague as hers).
Grade: A+
Eyes: Girlfriend's eyes are where it starts to go downhill for her. You see, Houkago Play has a very distinct art style. It's pretty choppy compared to other series and uses a lot of thick lines. There are times that Girlfriend's eyes look oddly shaped and I'm not a fan of those times. At times it even looks like she has thick bags under her eyes (which, considering she's a gamer, might be intentional) It certainly takes getting used to, which is never a good sign. Aside from that, her eyes are yellow. I'm not a fan of yellow eyes (gold is alright, but yellow is too bright), so I suppose it's good that the show doesn't have an anime for that reason. Her eyes can be compared to a snake's as well, which isn't a good sign. They do make for a nice inward slope, though. Overall there's just too many flaws I see in Girlfriend's eyes to give her a great score.
However, there ARE times that Girlfriend wears glasses. It's a very rare occasion (as she tends to wear contacts instead), but they do look great. Even though they're simple and might actually be frameless, they do at least cover her entire eye.
Grade: B-
Face: As I said previously, Houkago Play has a unique art style. This means that Girlfriend's face might look odd in general (due to angle and such). As this is a manga, there's also the problem that her tongue is BLACK. I assume this was just due to it being a manga, but it still looks very different compared to other series. Then again, it also allows the art to make her emotions much clearer with that freedom. Believe me, Girlfriend can certainly have some cute expressions. There are even times that her face is "red", and that includes around her eyes all the way up to her hime cut. She's not exactly one of the "best" girls I've blogged about, but she does have her own style and her facial emotions are nearly unmatched.
Grade: B-
Body
Build: Girlfriend's main aspect is that she's tall and has long legs. She's about a head taller than Boyfriend, though that might be because he slouches as well. She's also pretty slender, though we don't get a good look at her body so I can't be sure. The main problem is that we really don't see her body like her stomach or butt so I can't judge her there.
What I WILL say is that Girlfriend's main "fetish part" is undenyably her legs and feet. She always wears pantyhose, and occasionally high heels to show them off. Not only that, but she's always kicking him, using his head as an footstool, or even rubbing them over his face, neck, and shoulders at one point. There's even a scene where he gives her expired milk and, when she spits it out, forces him to clean it off her pantyhose as if it were "something else". As for if *I* like her feet...
: You'd better.
I do. Though I can understand others not enjoying the simplistic design.
: YOU'RE the one with the "simplistic" MIND! *Slams foot down on Topaz's head*
OW!
Grade: B
Breasts: We don't see much of Girlfriend's chest due to how the panels are usually set up. However, she does seem to have a fair set of breasts on her. I wouldn't quite go calling her "busty" (that would be her Club Leader), but she's not flat either.
Grade: B-
Clothes: Girlfriend's main outfit is DEFINITELY in my tastes. She usually wears her school uniform which consists of a black jacket, necktie (!), and a white (or purple) shirt with a matching skirt. That's great by itself, but as I said before she also wears pantyhose which of course shows off her legs even more. She also wears high heels, but I'm not a fan of those (not that they look bad, of course). She also said that she'd wear a maid outfit, but disappointingly she never does (as far as I know).
Grade: A-
Mind
Personality: First things first, Girlfriend is a tsundere. As if you hadn't known from all the kicking she seems to enjoy doing.
: SHADDUP! *kick*
She does have a very cute and easily accessible "dere" side though, so she's not as bad as other tsunderes. She's more "annoyed" than tsun as well, though that's probably more due to how demanding she is. Not only that, but she seems to love gaming in general, both modern AND retro. I'm sure that her and I could talk about SNES RPGS for some time, though she'd probably kick me and say that something like Street Fighter is better (she likes fighting games). She's sort of a sore loser as well, but is even worse at winning. She seems like a fun character to hang around with and play games.
Grade: B+
Libido: Girlfriend has higher than average libido. She gets in "moods" sort of what I expect from an actual girl, and her and boyfriend eventually do share a romantic kiss. This is a romance series, even if it is a 4koma. And that's just normal libido, I should mention once more that she seems to know EXACTLY what to do to show off her best point (again, her legs), not to mention that she's the dominant one more often in their relationship. In the first few chapters she DOES shy away from romantic scenes in a dating sim, but she gets over that quickly it seems.
Grade: B+
Age: It's unknown Girlfriend's exact age, but I'm assuming that she's in high school or something.
Grade: B
Total Grades: 77
Average score: 8.6
Final Grade: B+
: There! Now that your stupid blog is done can we FINALLY play the fighting game I picked out? I've been waiting!
Sure, just one more thing. Ririchiyo...
: Huh? Oh...
: I mean, what do YOU want, you pathetic internet blogger?
THIS! *Topaz hands Riri a wrapped box* Happy birthday!
: Harumph! And here I thought that you forgot. (he remembered! how thoughtful!). I suppose I'll leave you two here and open your gift in my room.
: Good! Now get going so Topaz and I can play fighting games.
You can open it here, Riri.
: I suppose I SHOULD grace you with my reaction. *opens* A glasses case?
: You shouldn't expect anything else from him, I suppose. *squeezes Topaz with her legs*
: No, no. I'm happy *smile*.
That's good to hear. As for our readers, catch us next week!
: Good, now that it's over take a controller. I want to beat you in a brawl match.

Today's girl is:
Though, once again, due to how the series works we have no idea the name of today's girl. Let's just call her:
Girlfriend

Example #210: Shrine Maiden of Paradise
Anime Relations: Touhou Niji Sousaku Doujin Anime: Musou Kakyou
This is the Two-hundred-and-tenth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Well, if you remember last week I was requested by Topaz to visit Gensokyo for repairs. In particular we've come to visit the shrine that is supposed to protect the barrier between dimensions.
: Tae really did a number here. Turns out when you can drop a moon on people that's unavoidable it's not that difficult to overthrow this place.
Indeed, but luckily the vague corruption she spread is quickly withering away. The real question is where were Gensokyo's heroes during this time?
: I'm pretty sure that Marisa and the Scarlet Mansion girls were over helping you against magical girls.
See, that makes sense. BUT! There's a girl that SHOULD have defended this place but didn't. Just due to laziness. Isn't that right...
*Topaz points to a napping girl*
REIMU!
: *snort* *half wakes up* Wha-?
Reimu, I've come to not only do my blog, but to question you about the recent attacks in Gensokyo!
: Alright then, just be quiet...zzzz...
REIMU! You have to be awake for this!
: But come ON! I've had a hard year, what with the incident with that one group of girls. I'm glad that I had a continue as otherwise their attacks would have killed me for sure!
Wait, you mean that you DID do something?
: Of course! I tried and tried to send them back, but eventually it got to the point where I could barely keep the barrier up with all my might so rather than have it fall I made a tactical retreat.
I see then, I thought that you were too lazy and didn't do anything.
: Now see, that's the fanon talking...
I see then. Well, it seems that you're alright so let's get on with the blog!
: Goody...
: You know that's a terrible image, right? Why couldn't you have used an image like this:
*holds up picture*
....
: HEY! At least acknowledge that I'm the one that gave you that image!
Thanks then. It is indeed a pretty image. And as always, I may be using fanon/personal opinions about Touhou characters so take this blog with a grain of salt.
Head
Hair: First I'll talk about her hair, even if it's probably the second thing you'll notice. Reimu's hair is about shoulder-length or so, though the length depends on the work with later works making it a bit longer. In some games she has a ponytail or bun but in others she has her hair free. In the sides of her hair in front she has two holders. I don't know the technical term for them. As far as color goes it's usually depicted as a dark brown or black color (usually the latter). Before people get angry at me though, I will say that I'm more familiar with the windows Reimu than the PC-98 version. That version had purple hair and it was much longer (only held at the very bottom at times). Also she tended to have a hime cut back then. While she still has it a bit now, it's not as defined.
So what's the first thing a person would notice about Reimu? I would say that it's probably more likely to be her bright red ribbon. Most characters from Touhou have at least one hair decoration and Reimu's is her ribbon. I will say though that her ribbon fits Reimu perfectly as it contrasts very nice with her hair color. Moreso now than in the PC-98 games.
Grade: A
Eyes: Now we get to the "bad" part of Reimu. As I've said in other Touhou-based blogs, Zun (the creator) is not that good at faces and eyes. Sure, he can get the point across but it's still very simple. He's getting better, mind you. As far as the fighting games (where the art is usually better) it seems that they're grey or blue. Otherwise it isn't set what color her eyes are, but I've seen a lot of red, brown, or blacks.
Grade: B-
Face: Like I said previously, Reimu's face isn't that spectacular in the original works. She does have small features which I like, but a lot of the pluses with these two areas are more the work of fanart than anything else. I should admit that the Touhou mangas help as well.
One additional thing that I should mention is the "off model" moment in the windows series. You see, in Mountain of Faith (Main game 10) she looked a bit off. Her skin was more yellow than expected gave her the nickname "Zombie". I don't see where it came from, but she's certainly not undead!
Grade: B
Body
Build: Reimu is a fairly average Touhou girl. That means that there's really no set body figure so people are free to do what they want. That said, I will assure you that she's not fat as one of the powers of her Orbs is that she can eat all that she wants without gaining weight. This also leads to jokes about the reasons why her hitbox is so small. She is apparently moderately tall, from what I hear. Finally, to go into fanon a bit, because Reimu wears detached sleeves it's said that her armpits are sexy. I'm not into that, but I felt that I should mention the "meme" if you would.
Grade: B
Breasts: Like before, this area is up for debate. I've seen very busty works with Reimu, but it's far more common for her to be modestly-endowed. Between her and Sanae one of the reasons I liked Sanae more was that she was portrayed as bustier more often.
Grade: B-
Clothes: Reimu's standard outfit is her miko one. It consists of a red top, detached white sleeves, and a red "miko dress" rather than a Hakama. It looks like her skirt and top connect, but I'm not sure if they do. She seems to be wearing something under her top, but be it an undershirt or just bandages (to bind her chest) depends on the source. Her outfit is the main reason she's called the "red-white miko". Lately her outfits have gotten a bit frilly, but not in a bad way. She also has a ribbon around her neck. The color depends on the game, it's been yellow, red, and blue. Speaking of colors, in the fighting games you can also choose between a few color motifs for Reimu and other characters.
Grade: B
Mind
Personality: Reimu is the main character of the Touhou games. Or at least most of them, as she's been playable in most games all the way back in the PC-98 days. She's the miko of the Hakurei Shrine, a remote building far in the east where the boundaries of Gensōkyō and the human world overlap. She does this duty very well, keeping troublesome youkai away and solving incidents. Though she's dutiful, she's not that ambitious. She might even be considered "lazy" by some. She doesn't believe in training which is in contrast with Marisa (who enjoys hard work). Again in contrast with Marisa she's not a good liar and can actually be a bit brutal in her words. Like most Touhou characters she's allowed a bit of meta and figures that if she flies around in random directions she'll eventually meet the final boss. Her personality is optimistic, easy-going and a bit of curious as well. While not well off, she's not as poor or extorting as fanon would lead you to believe. She's also a lot nicer than someone you'd expect being a youkai exterminator. Sure she'll smash even humans if they get in the way, but she'll often have tea with her fallen foes. They even become her teammates on occasion. Animals even love her, and an example that I've heard of is crossing a river without noticing it because fish rose up to form a bridge under her feet.
I'll finish this up by talking about Reimu's powers. I have to say that she's one of my favorites as far as playing goes because of her said powers. She currently has three: The ability to float, her divine powers (including her yin-yangs), and using the gods of Gensokyo. She tends to use the first two more often as the latter she's not especially skilled in it (though she does use them to help get to the moon). You might be wondering why I like her powers when they don't seem very powerful, especially the first. After all, most characters in Touhou can fly, so what makes Reimu so special? Because she's so powerful with that one ability that she can literally FLOAT IN AND OUT OF REALITY ITSELF! That spell, "Fantasy Heaven", makes it so that she can attack at her own leisure while the opponent is defenseless. Instead, they just have to outlast her attacks. That is a BRILLIANT way of abusing that power, and as a sort of "power gamer" I definitely appreciate it. It's sadly worse when you're controlling her, but it's still one of the best attacks in the fighting series (not that I could pull it off). As far as her second power yin-yangs are her main source of offense and she commonly has a homing attack with them. They also have a few mundane uses (The ability to eat sweets and not get fat, the effect of giving its user whatever scent they desire, and the ability to turn into a cat whenever the user chooses), but it's not touched upon that much. Excluding the joke about her hitbox, as said before, and that is one of the reasons I usually play as Reimu (I... Am not a good dodger). Reimu also can use her Ofuda (rectangular paper charms) as well with her spell cards. She's a good beginner character as I can attest, being balanced in about every stat. As a final mention, in fan games her "divine abilities" are more in line with the traditional "white mage/cleric" role, focusing more on healing/buffing than offense. This may or may not be due to how "overpowered" her abilities are in the main games.
Grade: A
Libido: Reimu is a carefree and simple girl. This means that she's not particularly attached to anyone and is a bit "alone" in her heart. Being a Touhou girl though, and likely THE main character of the series at that, she gets a lot of pairings and ships. She's probably only second to Marisa in ships. As for my shipping of her, I can't say as I don't really have one for her.
Grade: C+
Age: It is presumed that Reimu, like many of the other Touhou characters, is in her mid-teens. 14-17 is probably a good guess, I'd think.
Grade: B-
Total Grades: 73
Average score: 8.1
Final Grade: B
: I see your blog is complete. Good thing too, I just about finished repairing the barrier thanks to Topaz's blog increasing my power. All I need to do is kick out a few... bloggers.
: Hey! I at least belong on this side!
: Well then, I guess only this guy needs my help. Perhaps if you give me a donation I'll let you return back without much harm!
Didn't you like my blog?
: I suppose, but you didn't give me enough points so we'll settle this with a simple spell card battle. Take THIS!
*Reimu tosses a charm at Topaz. He soon bends over to pick it up.*
Hey, what's this...
: Well, it seems that he fell unconscious. Alive, but unconscious.
: Don't worry, I'm sure that he'll be back next week. Though I think that he won't be visiting Gensokyo for some time...
Well, if you remember last week I was requested by Topaz to visit Gensokyo for repairs. In particular we've come to visit the shrine that is supposed to protect the barrier between dimensions.

: *snort* *half wakes up* Wha-?
Reimu, I've come to not only do my blog, but to question you about the recent attacks in Gensokyo!
: Alright then, just be quiet...zzzz...
REIMU! You have to be awake for this!
: But come ON! I've had a hard year, what with the incident with that one group of girls. I'm glad that I had a continue as otherwise their attacks would have killed me for sure!
Wait, you mean that you DID do something?
: Of course! I tried and tried to send them back, but eventually it got to the point where I could barely keep the barrier up with all my might so rather than have it fall I made a tactical retreat.
I see then, I thought that you were too lazy and didn't do anything.
: Now see, that's the fanon talking...
I see then. Well, it seems that you're alright so let's get on with the blog!
: Goody...
: You know that's a terrible image, right? Why couldn't you have used an image like this:
*holds up picture*
....
: HEY! At least acknowledge that I'm the one that gave you that image!
Thanks then. It is indeed a pretty image. And as always, I may be using fanon/personal opinions about Touhou characters so take this blog with a grain of salt.
Head
Hair: First I'll talk about her hair, even if it's probably the second thing you'll notice. Reimu's hair is about shoulder-length or so, though the length depends on the work with later works making it a bit longer. In some games she has a ponytail or bun but in others she has her hair free. In the sides of her hair in front she has two holders. I don't know the technical term for them. As far as color goes it's usually depicted as a dark brown or black color (usually the latter). Before people get angry at me though, I will say that I'm more familiar with the windows Reimu than the PC-98 version. That version had purple hair and it was much longer (only held at the very bottom at times). Also she tended to have a hime cut back then. While she still has it a bit now, it's not as defined.
So what's the first thing a person would notice about Reimu? I would say that it's probably more likely to be her bright red ribbon. Most characters from Touhou have at least one hair decoration and Reimu's is her ribbon. I will say though that her ribbon fits Reimu perfectly as it contrasts very nice with her hair color. Moreso now than in the PC-98 games.
Grade: A
Eyes: Now we get to the "bad" part of Reimu. As I've said in other Touhou-based blogs, Zun (the creator) is not that good at faces and eyes. Sure, he can get the point across but it's still very simple. He's getting better, mind you. As far as the fighting games (where the art is usually better) it seems that they're grey or blue. Otherwise it isn't set what color her eyes are, but I've seen a lot of red, brown, or blacks.
Grade: B-
Face: Like I said previously, Reimu's face isn't that spectacular in the original works. She does have small features which I like, but a lot of the pluses with these two areas are more the work of fanart than anything else. I should admit that the Touhou mangas help as well.
One additional thing that I should mention is the "off model" moment in the windows series. You see, in Mountain of Faith (Main game 10) she looked a bit off. Her skin was more yellow than expected gave her the nickname "Zombie". I don't see where it came from, but she's certainly not undead!
Grade: B
Body
Build: Reimu is a fairly average Touhou girl. That means that there's really no set body figure so people are free to do what they want. That said, I will assure you that she's not fat as one of the powers of her Orbs is that she can eat all that she wants without gaining weight. This also leads to jokes about the reasons why her hitbox is so small. She is apparently moderately tall, from what I hear. Finally, to go into fanon a bit, because Reimu wears detached sleeves it's said that her armpits are sexy. I'm not into that, but I felt that I should mention the "meme" if you would.
Grade: B
Breasts: Like before, this area is up for debate. I've seen very busty works with Reimu, but it's far more common for her to be modestly-endowed. Between her and Sanae one of the reasons I liked Sanae more was that she was portrayed as bustier more often.
Grade: B-
Clothes: Reimu's standard outfit is her miko one. It consists of a red top, detached white sleeves, and a red "miko dress" rather than a Hakama. It looks like her skirt and top connect, but I'm not sure if they do. She seems to be wearing something under her top, but be it an undershirt or just bandages (to bind her chest) depends on the source. Her outfit is the main reason she's called the "red-white miko". Lately her outfits have gotten a bit frilly, but not in a bad way. She also has a ribbon around her neck. The color depends on the game, it's been yellow, red, and blue. Speaking of colors, in the fighting games you can also choose between a few color motifs for Reimu and other characters.
Grade: B
Mind
Personality: Reimu is the main character of the Touhou games. Or at least most of them, as she's been playable in most games all the way back in the PC-98 days. She's the miko of the Hakurei Shrine, a remote building far in the east where the boundaries of Gensōkyō and the human world overlap. She does this duty very well, keeping troublesome youkai away and solving incidents. Though she's dutiful, she's not that ambitious. She might even be considered "lazy" by some. She doesn't believe in training which is in contrast with Marisa (who enjoys hard work). Again in contrast with Marisa she's not a good liar and can actually be a bit brutal in her words. Like most Touhou characters she's allowed a bit of meta and figures that if she flies around in random directions she'll eventually meet the final boss. Her personality is optimistic, easy-going and a bit of curious as well. While not well off, she's not as poor or extorting as fanon would lead you to believe. She's also a lot nicer than someone you'd expect being a youkai exterminator. Sure she'll smash even humans if they get in the way, but she'll often have tea with her fallen foes. They even become her teammates on occasion. Animals even love her, and an example that I've heard of is crossing a river without noticing it because fish rose up to form a bridge under her feet.
I'll finish this up by talking about Reimu's powers. I have to say that she's one of my favorites as far as playing goes because of her said powers. She currently has three: The ability to float, her divine powers (including her yin-yangs), and using the gods of Gensokyo. She tends to use the first two more often as the latter she's not especially skilled in it (though she does use them to help get to the moon). You might be wondering why I like her powers when they don't seem very powerful, especially the first. After all, most characters in Touhou can fly, so what makes Reimu so special? Because she's so powerful with that one ability that she can literally FLOAT IN AND OUT OF REALITY ITSELF! That spell, "Fantasy Heaven", makes it so that she can attack at her own leisure while the opponent is defenseless. Instead, they just have to outlast her attacks. That is a BRILLIANT way of abusing that power, and as a sort of "power gamer" I definitely appreciate it. It's sadly worse when you're controlling her, but it's still one of the best attacks in the fighting series (not that I could pull it off). As far as her second power yin-yangs are her main source of offense and she commonly has a homing attack with them. They also have a few mundane uses (The ability to eat sweets and not get fat, the effect of giving its user whatever scent they desire, and the ability to turn into a cat whenever the user chooses), but it's not touched upon that much. Excluding the joke about her hitbox, as said before, and that is one of the reasons I usually play as Reimu (I... Am not a good dodger). Reimu also can use her Ofuda (rectangular paper charms) as well with her spell cards. She's a good beginner character as I can attest, being balanced in about every stat. As a final mention, in fan games her "divine abilities" are more in line with the traditional "white mage/cleric" role, focusing more on healing/buffing than offense. This may or may not be due to how "overpowered" her abilities are in the main games.
Grade: A
Libido: Reimu is a carefree and simple girl. This means that she's not particularly attached to anyone and is a bit "alone" in her heart. Being a Touhou girl though, and likely THE main character of the series at that, she gets a lot of pairings and ships. She's probably only second to Marisa in ships. As for my shipping of her, I can't say as I don't really have one for her.
Grade: C+
Age: It is presumed that Reimu, like many of the other Touhou characters, is in her mid-teens. 14-17 is probably a good guess, I'd think.
Grade: B-
Total Grades: 73
Average score: 8.1
Final Grade: B
: I see your blog is complete. Good thing too, I just about finished repairing the barrier thanks to Topaz's blog increasing my power. All I need to do is kick out a few... bloggers.
: Hey! I at least belong on this side!
: Well then, I guess only this guy needs my help. Perhaps if you give me a donation I'll let you return back without much harm!
Didn't you like my blog?
: I suppose, but you didn't give me enough points so we'll settle this with a simple spell card battle. Take THIS!
*Reimu tosses a charm at Topaz. He soon bends over to pick it up.*
Hey, what's this...
: Well, it seems that he fell unconscious. Alive, but unconscious.
: Don't worry, I'm sure that he'll be back next week. Though I think that he won't be visiting Gensokyo for some time...

Example #158: Player 2
This is the Hundred-and-fifty-eighth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Welcome to December everyone.
: Hasn't it been December for like a week now?
...Yes.. Well, forget about that. However, as it is December many radio stations or TV programs are now talking about Christmas. However, it is also important to remember that many other religions are important as well, and today I'm here to show a girl whose faith is important; A Miko. And Topaz is even here to help me.
:That you do!
And why is that?
:Because we're doing a Touhou character!
That's right!
....Topaz.
:Yes?
Why did you pick Sanae over Reimu. It's not like I've done the most famous miko in Touhou after all.
: Um, I just figured you'd like Sanae more. After all, I do! And green is even a Christmas color so she fits that way as well!
So is red!
:My bad then, guess you'll just have to do the nice Green-haired Miko as it's too late to change your plans!
Sometimes I wonder if you're this way just to pester me.
: GIVE THIS MAN A PRIZE!
: But in all seriousness, I'll get started on a Reimu sheet for next year. And by that I mean I'll procrastinate up till that point.
(Note: I may be using fanon/personal opinions about Touhou characters)
Head
Hair: Sanae has a really nice head of hair. It's long and flowing with a nice green color. The actual color usually differs but officially it's a bit light. The length differs as well, it seems longer in Hisoutensoku and it looks great as well. It's usually flowing but I don't like the wavy look from her portrait in 13.
Finally, we can't talk about Sanae without mentioning her hair accessories. Well, any Touhou character anyway as most of them have some type of ornamentation on their head but I digress. Sanae has a frog clip in her hair, usually on her left side. It's joined by a serpent decoration on that same side that coils to contain a length of hair. These two items symbolize her two gods, but I'll get to that later.
Grade: A
Eyes: Sanae has very nice eyes, though the exact eye color differs. Some people see them as blue while others see them as green while few think that they're more golden. I like both blue and green and they look well with her hair. Officially I see it as more of an olive color though the gold is someone noticeable as well.
Grade: B
Face: As a Touhou character I've said before that Zun's art doesn't really give the girls justice. I really like Sanae's look in the fighting games, Alphes did a great job to make Sanae calm and cute looking.
Grade: B
Body
Build: According to fandom, Sanae has a very shapely body. She does, though unfortunately most of it is hidden by her Miko outfit. I could mention "armpits" though those kinds of jokes more refer to Reimu and I'm not big on armpits anyway.
Grade: B
Breasts: While Sanae won't be beating characters like Yukari or Yuyuko, she does have a bust line. As opposed to most Touhou characters that are pretty flat, anyway. She's about average or medium-high.
Grade: B+
Clothes: She usually wears her shrine maiden outfit. Her sleeves are not attached to the rest of her shirt, hence the comment about her armpit. The majority of her top is white but the edges and inside is blue and patterned. It looks like she's wearing two tops but I think it's just folded over and the inside is blue. Her skirt is also blue. All in all, a cute shrine maiden outfit. She's also occasionally put in a school uniform due to her being from the outside but there's no official image (well, in-game image) of it so most just create a unique uniform.
Grade: B+
Mind
Personality: Sanae is a human, but is also a distant descendant of a god, Suwako Moriya. Her role at the Moriya Shrine is similar to a Shrine Maiden, but with her inherited power Sanae has become more like a deity herself. She also has the power to cause miracles to occur. She left the Outside World to move into Gensokyo along with the shrine and its two resident goddesses, Suwako and Kanako. Suwako is a Frog deity and Kanako is a Snake deity and both are symbolized by her headwear as I stated earlier. She's very powerful, and as a descendant of a god she's in the upper power levels though not close to some of the other characters. Sanae is rather knowledgeable about the outside world and modern living, although when she tries to explain things such as science, the local populace does not understand her very well. After all, you don't expect things like nuclear fusion and giant mechs alongside fairies and demons.
However, her knowledge concerning things in Gensokyo, seems to be a bit lacking for a shrine maiden. She's a bit naive and is treated as a smart but aloof person. Recently one point I dislike about Sanae is that she's treated as taking far too much pride in destroying Youkai. I much rather like her "good girl" treatment, being a soft spoken and demure girl but still having some unusual tastes.
As for the "Player 2" reference, that's because Reimu has a red outfit while Sanae has green hair. Thus there are comparisons between them and the Mario Bros. as they have a similar coloring scheme.
Grade: A
Libido: None is really shown. Sanae's a good girl, but sometimes the fandom considers her naughty with her gods or even some youkai recently.
Grade: C+
Age: Sanae's age hasn't been revealed. She's a high school student so I assume that she's in her mid to high teens but her actual age is unknown.
Grade: B-
Total Grades: 77
Average score: 8.6
Final Grade: B+
:So how was my blog.
Very nice, though there's some weak parts Personality seemed to be nice and long. Until next week everyone!

♥♥♥Example #156: Megane-Chan♥♥♥
This is the Hundred-and-fifty-sixth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Welcome everyone to the third year anniversary special. I'm glad to have had so many fans (read: a handful of loyal ones) that have been reading from the beginning, and I wouldn't be here today if not for them. So I thank you, readers. To show my thanks, have a blog about one of my favorite manga girls.
Head
Hair: Kogane's hair is great. It's nice and long, and a black color. Well, in the colored pages it's more of a dark brown or purple, but since this is a manga we more often see her with black hair due to being in black and which. Not that I mind dark brown of course. As for length, it is at least reaching her waist which looks great.
Unfortunately Kogane's hair is a bit of a disappointment in certain ways. Rather than being nice and straight, it's big and fluffy. She also unfortunately has it up for the finale. She also has "eartails", a pair of twin tails that are on the upper sides of her head rather than in the back. They're also expressive, meaning that they move when she's feeling shocked or other humorous emotions. While I don't mind expressive hair or eartails, it's the little things that I have to judge, but don't worry as Kogane's hair is still terrific and very nice! I'd prefer to see it down more though.
speaking of expressive "eartails", though Tenmas are closer to the ear than Kogane's are
Grade: A-
Eyes: Kogane has very pretty eyes. They always seem to match her hair (no matter what color it seems to be), and I like girls with dark colored eyes. Her eyes are very cute and rounded, and are topped off with a pair of very cute glasses as well. She has large-ish eyebrows to the point where they're noticeable but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing.
What IS a bad thing, and a horrible idea from my outlook is in the first chapter. Kogane gets FORCED to wear contacts for a mixer. She's even compares it to sticking something up her *beep*, though her sister complains that she should have just said "eyeballs" and not a word that would be censored. I obviously hated that scene. When the title of the series is Megane-chan, YOU DON'T UN-MEGANE THE LEAD IN THE FIRST CHAPTER! Fortunately the love interest was able to convince her that she should just wear glasses instead and for the remaining 8 chapters she never put in contacts. It's just that the first chapter that I wanted to punch the mangaka for, but I shouldn't as she's a nice woman.
At least she was able to repay me by giving Kogane a great reason to wear glasses in a public bath.
....
She wanted to stare at the nude girls.
....
Is there any question why I love this girl so much now!
Grade: A-
Face: I should probably name the female mangaka before I continue. She's Kaworu Watashiya, most known as the creator of Kodomo no Jikan. This is pretty obvious, as Megane-chan's design is similar to Kodomo's design. The characters are very cute, and the designs are soft and squishy looking. There's small noses, and very nice contours. Overall, a great facial shape.
Grade: A
Body
Build: Kogane is EXTREMELY SEXY for my tastes. I mean seriously, there's only a few bodies that I'd like more. If I had to compare her body to another girl, it would have to be Arima Senne, who has one of my favorite bodies overall! Both girls are delicious EVERYWHERE! Legs, stomach, butt, everywhere! But aside from that, they both appear to be the "sexy pudgy" type as well, as both have bodies that are sexy but don't make their breasts look oversized either. In addition, she also shaved for the beach episode (completely, no less). Overall, a incredible body.
Seen here
Grade: A
Breasts: Kogane has great breasts as well. I'm not just talking about how huge they are of course (though it does effect her score here as well), but her "milk bags" have other wonderful pluses to make them a favorite pair.
First off, they're often shown off. With a underwear shopping, beach, public bath, and festival chapter, they're shown off a great amount of time. Secondly, as I said before this manga is written and drawn by a woman. One that really does nipples well, I might add. Kogane's nipples are great and small, and rather than draw on the areola it's just shaded in differently which I will say is my favorite way of portraying them. Kogane's breasts are also nice and perky but with a gentle, "realistic" slope if she's not supporting them well enough. They also look incredibly soft. Her softness is even used in story to win over a pair of younger twins.
The final reason that I love Kogane's chest is hot cucumbers.
...
Yes, hot cucumbers.
........
What, you haven't heard of them? Allow me to show you:
So delicious! And I'm sure the cucumber may taste good as well...
Grade: A+
Clothes: Kogane is an employee at a convenience store. Because of this, she is most often seen in the official uniform for that store. It consists of a long-sleeved white blouse, an apron, a fairly long but still good looking skirt and a tie. I would complain about the tie not being a "necktie" but it still extends to her chest so I won't. She also wears a name tag, or so I assume (it isn't filled in due to not being essential).
WHY YES I WOULD LIKE TO EAT YOUR DELICIOUS "MEAT BUNS".*ahem*... Topaz, calm down...
Kogane unfortunately doesn't wear a naked apron, though it is referenced (once by having a "underwear apron" in an imagine spot and another imagine spot she's only shown from the navel up. Outside of her uniform she wears mainly casual and simple clothing (she doesn't dress to impress, but I still love her casual wear). In the beach episode she wears a nice bikini, though being strapless is a downside as I like my girls to have support (and I'm sure that Kogane wouldn't have minded an additional strap if it meant that she wouldn't lose her top. I'm not complaining). During the festival chapter, she wears a "bandaged" top, an open jacket and a type of underwear that I wouldn't know how to describe (there will be an image later). She also wears a long sleeve kimono near the end as well.
A small running joke in the beginning is how Kogane doesn't always wear matching underwear. She buys them in bulk, so in the second chapter Akane (her younger sister) takes her underwear shopping. While trying on bras, Kogane means to underestimate her chest size, calling for a F cup (which produces a reaction from the crowd), but actually spilling out of it meaning that her sister asks for a G cup (and whatever the book says, Kogane's chest size is NOT 70). It gets so bad that Kogane wishes to just wear a Nubra and Nupanties (note: they don't make Nupanties).
: Stop saying such horror stories! If she wears a tight bra her breasts will get sore and her back will hurt as well!
Don't worry Nayu. As I've shown before, she does eventually get a nice, gentle set of matching bras and panties, so the problem doesn't show up.
: That's good, and it might have a compensation effect and make her breasts bigger.
Not that she needs it, of course. and here I was thinking that if I sent Rika and Topaz away that I'd be able to do a perverted girl in peace...
Grade: A-
Mind
Personality: Kogane is an eccentric character. She's nearly always cheerful and silly. She often says what's on her mind (most often perverted things) as well. As I said before, she works at a convenience store and is a cashier. She's in love with her coworker, though she's shy enough to not be able to admit it to him. Even if she loves to stare, but that's for the next area.
Kogane has a bit of a tsundere relationship with her younger sister Akane. They do care for each other. However, Akane often plays the straight man to Kogane's absent mindedness, which usually ends in her yelling or hitting Kogane. They don't fight though, it's just used as comedy and it works very nice. Akane even starts working at Kogane's store so that she can take a good look at the Senpai that she's fallen for and tries to get them together.
Grade: A-
Libido: As if you haven't noticed, Kogane is EXTREMELY PERVERTED!
EXTREMELY ...
PERVERTED
Seriously, she loves to take things in a perverted way, and loves to nonchalantly say a perverted thing or take things in a perverted manner. Usually this causes her to get told off or hit by her younger sister though.
However, she does have a hard time with guys and is more shy around them (well, shy for her I mean). She even admits that not every woman needs a man and abandons dating in general. However, in the final chapter she finally gets her love interest as both of them were too shy to come out with their love if not for a heartfelt confession. Before that, she starts to get "wet" when thinking of him after an incident at the beach, if not before.
Grade: A-
Age: At first I thought that Kogane's age was unknown, and the only way of telling how old she was is judging whether or not her younger sister is in high school or middle school. However, upon reading it again it very obviously calls attention to the fact that she's over 20 years old and has never had a boyfriend. Perfect reason to give her a nice A ranking.
Grade: A
Total Grades: 95
Average score10.5
Final Grade: A
So that's Ms. Megane-Chan herself. And with a whopping 95 points, she deserves a nice reward. I mean, when my waifu Senne is the ONLY girl who has beaten you, you deserve a nice reward. And since I promised the festival outfit, here it is:
The only downside to Kogane is that as much as I love her, the only way I'll see her again is if I re-read the nine chapters of her far-too-short manga (only 9 chapters). Fortunately within those nine chapters I was able to fine nice enough images to add here, but I'd like to see a continuation, but that as well as fan art is a pipe dream. Maybe an anime could do it justice, but with just 9 chapters a short OVA would probably the only way I could see it occurring.
And don't forget to read all of the guest blogs. Due the the amount of them all, I gave them to Rika and Topaz to work on. You can find them Here, Here, and
Here.
Welcome everyone to the third year anniversary special. I'm glad to have had so many fans (read: a handful of loyal ones) that have been reading from the beginning, and I wouldn't be here today if not for them. So I thank you, readers. To show my thanks, have a blog about one of my favorite manga girls.
Head
Hair: Kogane's hair is great. It's nice and long, and a black color. Well, in the colored pages it's more of a dark brown or purple, but since this is a manga we more often see her with black hair due to being in black and which. Not that I mind dark brown of course. As for length, it is at least reaching her waist which looks great.
Unfortunately Kogane's hair is a bit of a disappointment in certain ways. Rather than being nice and straight, it's big and fluffy. She also unfortunately has it up for the finale. She also has "eartails", a pair of twin tails that are on the upper sides of her head rather than in the back. They're also expressive, meaning that they move when she's feeling shocked or other humorous emotions. While I don't mind expressive hair or eartails, it's the little things that I have to judge, but don't worry as Kogane's hair is still terrific and very nice! I'd prefer to see it down more though.
speaking of expressive "eartails", though Tenmas are closer to the ear than Kogane's are
Grade: A-
Eyes: Kogane has very pretty eyes. They always seem to match her hair (no matter what color it seems to be), and I like girls with dark colored eyes. Her eyes are very cute and rounded, and are topped off with a pair of very cute glasses as well. She has large-ish eyebrows to the point where they're noticeable but I wouldn't say that's a bad thing.
What IS a bad thing, and a horrible idea from my outlook is in the first chapter. Kogane gets FORCED to wear contacts for a mixer. She's even compares it to sticking something up her *beep*, though her sister complains that she should have just said "eyeballs" and not a word that would be censored. I obviously hated that scene. When the title of the series is Megane-chan, YOU DON'T UN-MEGANE THE LEAD IN THE FIRST CHAPTER! Fortunately the love interest was able to convince her that she should just wear glasses instead and for the remaining 8 chapters she never put in contacts. It's just that the first chapter that I wanted to punch the mangaka for, but I shouldn't as she's a nice woman.
At least she was able to repay me by giving Kogane a great reason to wear glasses in a public bath.
....
She wanted to stare at the nude girls.
....
Is there any question why I love this girl so much now!
Grade: A-
Face: I should probably name the female mangaka before I continue. She's Kaworu Watashiya, most known as the creator of Kodomo no Jikan. This is pretty obvious, as Megane-chan's design is similar to Kodomo's design. The characters are very cute, and the designs are soft and squishy looking. There's small noses, and very nice contours. Overall, a great facial shape.
Grade: A
Body
Build: Kogane is EXTREMELY SEXY for my tastes. I mean seriously, there's only a few bodies that I'd like more. If I had to compare her body to another girl, it would have to be Arima Senne, who has one of my favorite bodies overall! Both girls are delicious EVERYWHERE! Legs, stomach, butt, everywhere! But aside from that, they both appear to be the "sexy pudgy" type as well, as both have bodies that are sexy but don't make their breasts look oversized either. In addition, she also shaved for the beach episode (completely, no less). Overall, a incredible body.
Seen here
Grade: A
Breasts: Kogane has great breasts as well. I'm not just talking about how huge they are of course (though it does effect her score here as well), but her "milk bags" have other wonderful pluses to make them a favorite pair.
First off, they're often shown off. With a underwear shopping, beach, public bath, and festival chapter, they're shown off a great amount of time. Secondly, as I said before this manga is written and drawn by a woman. One that really does nipples well, I might add. Kogane's nipples are great and small, and rather than draw on the areola it's just shaded in differently which I will say is my favorite way of portraying them. Kogane's breasts are also nice and perky but with a gentle, "realistic" slope if she's not supporting them well enough. They also look incredibly soft. Her softness is even used in story to win over a pair of younger twins.
The final reason that I love Kogane's chest is hot cucumbers.
...
Yes, hot cucumbers.
........
What, you haven't heard of them? Allow me to show you:
So delicious! And I'm sure the cucumber may taste good as well...
Grade: A+
Clothes: Kogane is an employee at a convenience store. Because of this, she is most often seen in the official uniform for that store. It consists of a long-sleeved white blouse, an apron, a fairly long but still good looking skirt and a tie. I would complain about the tie not being a "necktie" but it still extends to her chest so I won't. She also wears a name tag, or so I assume (it isn't filled in due to not being essential).
WHY YES I WOULD LIKE TO EAT YOUR DELICIOUS "MEAT BUNS".*ahem*... Topaz, calm down...
Kogane unfortunately doesn't wear a naked apron, though it is referenced (once by having a "underwear apron" in an imagine spot and another imagine spot she's only shown from the navel up. Outside of her uniform she wears mainly casual and simple clothing (she doesn't dress to impress, but I still love her casual wear). In the beach episode she wears a nice bikini, though being strapless is a downside as I like my girls to have support (and I'm sure that Kogane wouldn't have minded an additional strap if it meant that she wouldn't lose her top. I'm not complaining). During the festival chapter, she wears a "bandaged" top, an open jacket and a type of underwear that I wouldn't know how to describe (there will be an image later). She also wears a long sleeve kimono near the end as well.
A small running joke in the beginning is how Kogane doesn't always wear matching underwear. She buys them in bulk, so in the second chapter Akane (her younger sister) takes her underwear shopping. While trying on bras, Kogane means to underestimate her chest size, calling for a F cup (which produces a reaction from the crowd), but actually spilling out of it meaning that her sister asks for a G cup (and whatever the book says, Kogane's chest size is NOT 70). It gets so bad that Kogane wishes to just wear a Nubra and Nupanties (note: they don't make Nupanties).

Example #139: Polygon Fighter
This is the Hundred-and-thirty-ninth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Last week I promised a girl that likely everyone has heard of. When I thought of it, there was only one girl I could think of (well, there was a reverse trap, but I haven't played enough games with her in it to do a good blog). So join me as I continue to talk about...
: Lara Croft.
No, this girl, having her start on the Playstation, is still fondly remembered today.
: Lara Croft!
...It's not Lara Croft.
: But she's one of the first major sex symbols in Video gaming! How perfect would she be for this blog!
Yeah, but there is a problem.
: But she has such gloriously large breasts! You're obviously talking about Lara Croft!
It's NOT LARA CROFT!
: See how annoying it is...
....
You two planned this out, didn't you...
: Maybe...
:....yes
But anyway, it's not Lara Croft. I haven't played any of her games, so I couldn't accurately say anything about her. But today's girl IS about as famous...
Head
Hair: Tifa has brown hair, though occasionally it looks a bit black (I blame shadows). From her menu screen image, I would say it's very "model"-ish, with a lot of volume compared to her other images. She has hip-length hair, but it is ever so slightly tied at the bottom. Some people consider it to look like a dolphin's tail. Normally, I would say that it is a bad thing, but it's low enough to possibly be easy to fall out (note: it doesn't...). It does get cut prior to Advent Children (blame images for me knowing), but it is still pretty long, extending to mid back which is still fine. Her AC hair is why I mentioned it looking a bit black (it's more obvious in AC). Overall, even if I don't like the "dolphin" look, her Advent hair is definitely to my tastes.
Grade: A
Eyes: She has very nice brown eyes, even if some of the older art places them as somewhat red. She definitely has very sexy eyes, and even in 3D they look good (a rarity for computer-generated shows).
Grade: B
Face: Her face is also very nice. I would say, though, that her face has definitely improved over time. Not to be insulting though, I just meant that due to the Playstation's limited polygon-art didn't have the technology to do a good face (or body, but I'll get to that later). I would say that Tifa's AC face is some of the best CG faces I've seen. So cute...
Grade: A-
Body
Build: Much of Tifa's strength is in her build. She definitely has a shapely and erotic body. She is known for her long legs, which are definitely shown off. She's 5'4", and her measurements are 36-24-35 (92-60-88 cm), proving she definitely has a great body (according to an Ultimania, anyway). She's definitely a strong character without much muscle mass, which is always a plus in my book.
However, as I've said, the limited art style for the Playstation does damage her a bit in this area. In battle or FMV I can't complain about her. But on the map or in dungeons she does look pretty blocky. She even has blocks for hands! Though it's not like everyone else doesn't have the same problem...
Grade: A-
Breasts: This is one of Tifa's main characteristics. No, I'm being serious and not perverted. Her breasts are definitely what separated from the other girls in FFVII. She definitely has huge breasts, which are also exaggerated due to the polygon art (so it made her a bit weird looking but made her breasts huge...I'm okay with that xD). I should mention the flashback, as you could find "orthopedic underwear", which I always imagined to be due to her needing "extra support". Also of mention is that, if you win a battle in the game with her, she definitely flaunts her chest, as her animation is to stretch her arms in such a way that fully puts her chest outward.
Grade: A
Clothes: Tifa usually wears a single outfit; a very relaxed but revealing one, as well. It consists of a miniskirt, a white midriff-showing shirt, and suspenders. She usually wears teardrop earrings, but they aren't as noticeable due to the graphics. She also uses gloves, as that's her weapon as well. They go up to her forearm, but are usually fingerless (as far as the art goes, individual weapons notwithstanding).
In her other appearances, she wears a black zip up with black shorts and a long cape. She also has a "cowgirl" outfit and an "original" outfit based on the original sketch by Amano (it has a lot of red, so I like her game version more). I don't like her extra two, but her AC and original outfit are both extremely sexy.
Grade: B
Mind
Personality: Tifa is definitely a type of girl I'd like. She's very outwardly strong, but is definitely empathetic and surprisingly shy. She's a motherly character, and is the type to keep going due to devotion and loyalty. She does keep her feelings inside, but does eventually reveal them and isn't a tsundere about it. She just can't say it due to her shyness, which I applaud. She stays with Cloud when he's out of the party at one point (which is definitely a bad thing; I was using both at that point xD), and helps him to regain his persona. She's also had a pretty bad life (what with her town being destroyed and a childhood incident that nearly killed her), but remains optimistic. Oddly enough for her body type and clothing choice, she's more traditional and caring than Aeris, who is more tomboy-ish (though the fandom tends to reverse that, unfortunately). She is a really good female protagonist, and even if her breasts are what pull guys in, she DOES have a great personality to keep her up there in the "best female video game characters" listing.
In game, there's not much difference between characters (other than weapon choice). She's a fist user, which means that she's fairly "monk"-like in the Final Fantasy mechanics. She does have a pretty nifty limit break, where you have to do the correct slots to see whether or not you do increased damage, normal damage, or miss outright. I did use her as the "healer" in most of my games (using Cloud for Physical damage and Red/Vincent as a "Black Mage"-type), but I haven't played FFVII for quite some time.
Grade: B
Libido: To be fair, there was a deleted scene where she would leave the Chocobo's pen with Cloud in a suspicious manner, but I can't count that. She does have deep feelings for Cloud, but is a girl who doesn't want to speak her mind, unfortunately. She did get captured (intentionally) to be a bad man's "bride", but nothing really happened (she'll smash them!). In fan art, she's definitely portrayed as the most "erotically-minded" character, but I shouldn't count that as far as the blog is concerned. So she has some, but it really isn't shown other than to Cloud.
Grade: B-
Age: Her age is depending on the game/show, as FFVII is a compilation rather than a single game (like I'm familiar with). She could be anywhere from 15 (Crisis Core) to 23 (Dirge of Cerberus). However, as the main game is the only one I've seen her from, I have to take her age as a healthy 20.
Grade: A
Total Grades: 84
Average score: 9.3
Final Grade: B+
And that's Tifa for you, and the end of video game month. Join us next week as there's going to be a special Meganekko Day blog as well as the normal blog!

Example #138: Noblewoman of Sacae
This is the Hundred-and-thirty-eighth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Today we're looking at the main female lead in the first Fire Emblem game released in America. Her path may just be the tutorial, but she's no doubt powerful.
Head
Hair: Lyn has long green hair (maybe a bit blue, but mainly green). It's pretty long, so like most swordswomen she keeps it up in a long ponytail. It's so long, it goes past her waist. Too bad she never has it free... But she does have very good hair, I'll say.
Grade: B
Eyes: She has very simple eyes, but that doesn't mean they're bad. They're very pretty, especially given the limitations of the system. They're very pretty green eyes which match her hair almost perfectly.
Grade: B
Face: Her face isn't bad, but it isn't the greatest either. She has very noticeable features, and again the GBA isn't the best system to show "beauty". This said, she is definitely cute. She has a wide array of facial expressions, and isn't afraid of showing them. Overall, very good but not perfect.
Such a cute girl...
Grade: B
Body
Build: She has a very nice body. In fact I'd say that she has one of the best bodies in Fire Emblem (or at least in my opinion). Especially after promoting, when she, well she doesn't show any more, she's in a much more appealing position. How she dodges is truly nice, just sort of "*slight turn* Oh, It's too much trouble to move" which is very nice. She has a very appealing waist, and her legs (which she DOES show off) are very nice as well. She's a slim beauty, and has the body of one as well. Much like her body, her swordplay is very beautiful and graceful (though I'm sure that her body has something to do with that as well).
Grade: B
Breasts: Lyn isn't overly busty, but she seems to be busty for her figure which is nice. She'd be considered slightly over "average", but she's still pretty nice. They're just not shown enough to notice. One thing that I've heard rumors of, but haven't had the chance to notice, is that she does seem to bounce a bit in the critical hit animation when using the Sol Katti (her ultimate weapon). I haven't noticed, but she bounces around the screen (not like that, I mean) far too fast for my eyes it seems. Edit: Okay, I've been told that I had it wrong, it's the normal animation that does it (it looked more like her other sleeve to me, so don't look at me funny like that >_>).
Grade: B-
Clothes: She has an outfit similar to a light blue china dress. It also has what appears to be the tribal markings around her neck, along with a small amount of decor around the edges. She wears a darker blue shirt under it, which brings out the color well. The undershirt matches her mostly-fingerless gloves as well.
Getting back to the dress, it has a long slit up both sides (going up to her waist and showing off her legs). The length of the skirt goes past her knees, unfortunately. She also has her sheathe on a belt on her hip as well.
Grade: C+
Mind
Personality: Lyn is introduced in the tutorial as a common plains girl. However, we soon find out that her parents were recently killed by a large bandit group, and her quest becomes about finding and defeating them. However, eventually she finds out that her grandfather is the Marquess of Caelin, a fairly good-sized nation, and that her granduncle is slowly poisoning him. This causes her to go and save him. Afterwards, she eventually meets up with a friend from her travels Eliwood and joins him in his journey as well.
Lyn is a calm girl that isn't afraid of trouble. She's very kind, though don't say that she can't do certain things as she'll just claim that she'll be up for the challenge and be a bit insulted as well. She could be considered a tomboy, but is more like an action heroine than anything else. She doesn't act very lady-like, and asks another character how to become more like a lady as well. Because of her background, she's also unable to trust bandits (and later on, pirates) due to having her family killed.
In game, Lyn is treated similar to the Swordmaster class. She has high speed, skill, and luck growths, and a pretty good HP growth. Her other stats aren't as good, so don't expect her to tank or kill in one hit (unless she criticals). The difference is that she doesn't get the nice increased critical hit chance, but in return she has the ability to use bows to hit non-adjacent enemies. She does do well, being a lord after all, and is required to act in quite a few chapters (including the final chapter), so raising her levels is usually a good idea. She does get a few unique weapons that work well in this regard, giving her a good amount of power but not lowering her great speed. One, the Mani Katti, is given in the tutorial, and using it is a great idea. Overall, she's definitely my favorite lord the first time playing the game (I've grown to like Hector, but he's still not to the level I like Lyn; More, it's Lyn's beauty I like her for, I suppose).
Grade: B
Libido: She really doesn't show much libido. However, many of her A-rank supports means that she'll eventually marry (and have a child with) her supporter. Florina is obviously not included, though their friendship does strengthen as well.
Grade: C+
Age: Lyn is between 15-16, as there's a year between her story and the main story. However, in the American version she gets aged up (for whatever reason) to 18-19. This would be an excellent age, but I suppose that I should go with the original age for this (she still gets points, though).
Grade: B+
Total Grades: 70
Average score: 7.8
Final Grade: B
After two Fire Emblem girls, I suppose that I should branch out into a different series for the final girl. I've been thinking of a more "popular" girl from a popular series. So stay tuned for next week, I hope you won't be disappointed!
Today we're looking at the main female lead in the first Fire Emblem game released in America. Her path may just be the tutorial, but she's no doubt powerful.
Head
Hair: Lyn has long green hair (maybe a bit blue, but mainly green). It's pretty long, so like most swordswomen she keeps it up in a long ponytail. It's so long, it goes past her waist. Too bad she never has it free... But she does have very good hair, I'll say.
Grade: B
Eyes: She has very simple eyes, but that doesn't mean they're bad. They're very pretty, especially given the limitations of the system. They're very pretty green eyes which match her hair almost perfectly.
Grade: B
Face: Her face isn't bad, but it isn't the greatest either. She has very noticeable features, and again the GBA isn't the best system to show "beauty". This said, she is definitely cute. She has a wide array of facial expressions, and isn't afraid of showing them. Overall, very good but not perfect.
Such a cute girl...
Grade: B
Body
Build: She has a very nice body. In fact I'd say that she has one of the best bodies in Fire Emblem (or at least in my opinion). Especially after promoting, when she, well she doesn't show any more, she's in a much more appealing position. How she dodges is truly nice, just sort of "*slight turn* Oh, It's too much trouble to move" which is very nice. She has a very appealing waist, and her legs (which she DOES show off) are very nice as well. She's a slim beauty, and has the body of one as well. Much like her body, her swordplay is very beautiful and graceful (though I'm sure that her body has something to do with that as well).
Grade: B
Breasts: Lyn isn't overly busty, but she seems to be busty for her figure which is nice. She'd be considered slightly over "average", but she's still pretty nice. They're just not shown enough to notice. One thing that I've heard rumors of, but haven't had the chance to notice, is that she does seem to bounce a bit in the critical hit animation when using the Sol Katti (her ultimate weapon). I haven't noticed, but she bounces around the screen (not like that, I mean) far too fast for my eyes it seems. Edit: Okay, I've been told that I had it wrong, it's the normal animation that does it (it looked more like her other sleeve to me, so don't look at me funny like that >_>).
Grade: B-
Clothes: She has an outfit similar to a light blue china dress. It also has what appears to be the tribal markings around her neck, along with a small amount of decor around the edges. She wears a darker blue shirt under it, which brings out the color well. The undershirt matches her mostly-fingerless gloves as well.

Example #137: (Once a) Generic Soldier...
This is the Hundred-and-thirty-seventh week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Well, sorry for the lateness folks. I had to meet with some people, but I'm back! Anyway, as I said last week, I'm going to be doing Video Game characters this month. Many people were wondering what game I was talking about last week, but here it comes...
Yep, I was talking about the turn-based strategy game Fire Emblem. And well, while I've gotten better (I've been playing it a lot more now that I have in quite sometime), I'm nowhere near confident in my abilities. But anyway, let's get on to Nephenee.
Head
Hair: Nephenee has somewhat long hair, reaching about her chest in the back. In Radiant Dawn, her hair reaches her hip (approximately), so she seems to have grown it out. It's a light green-ish blue color, which is pretty (though not for hair, I'd prefer it to be darker). The only problem with it is that she is always seen wearing her blue helmet, which while protective, isn't that attractive.
Grade: B
Eyes: She has soft gentle eyes. They match her hair color-wise, which fits well (I LOVE the color of her eyes, it fits eyes so well). As an oddity, in all the times we see her (official art and in game) we only see her left eye. Okay, you can see her right in animations, but the camera isn't close at those times, and it becomes hard to see.
Unfortunately, there are no meganekkos in Fire Emblem games. All ~12 of them....
Grade: B
Face: She has a very plain, but cute, soldier type face. A gritty, down-home face, is what I'm saying (not that I'm saying that in a bad way, of course). She doesn't wear make-up (unless you start to support her with Calil, a "upper class woman"), but she has a very natural beauty. She's even said to have a splendid face (though that's more informed than anything, no offense to Nephenee). Her smile is also said to be quite cute (with her smiling in at least 2 of her three A-rank supports). Again, the helmet covers part of her face often (though she's too shy to remove it, as everyone'll stare).
Grade: B
Body
Build: Nephenee's body seems pretty basic, but also a bit shapely. She has very long legs (and an outfit to show them off). She has narrow waist, which is always appreciate. She's also said to have a "fantastic" figure as well, but unfortunately her armor hides most of it. Overall, there's nothing wrong with her figure, she'd be the type of girl who a person would be attracted to and still have the ability to speak to.
Grade: B
Breasts: She's not flat (at least, I don't assume she is), but isn't exactly busty either. She's on the lower end of "average", but her armor yet again hides her true size.
Grade: C
Clothes: As I've said again and again, Nephenee's weakest point is that you can barely see her under her armor. We also only see her wearing it, so it's not like she appeals to other fetishes either. But then again, she was made to be effective in battle, not fashionable. Her armor (which for some odd reason is blue...) seems to be a breast plate protecting her, well, chest area. She also wears armored shoulder pads and greaves (though the greaves are replaced in Radiant Dawn by a nice pair of what seems to be thigh-high socks, a DEFINITE plus). She appears to be wearing an armored skirt, protecting the back of her legs with it (the armor is more obvious in RD, where the front of her outfit is black).
Being a Soldier/Halberdier/Sentinel, Nephenee can only wield Spears, and is always seen wielding one in official art. Upon promotion to Halberdier, she starts to wield a small shield, much like a buckler (this doesn't actually do anything, however). Once she promotes to Sentinel (Radiant Dawn only), she loses a lot of her outfit that made her attractive, including said zettai ryouiki. Her helmet becomes much more serious looking, and her entire body becomes armored (well, her main body anyway. Her face, legs, and parts of her arms are still uncovered), and starts to wield an almost tower shield sized shield.
Grade: C-
Mind
Personality: It's not everyday when a female game character is used by everyone just due to her massive abilities. And, unlike some other characters I won't name, "massive abilities" is not a euphemism for her breasts. Nephenee is legitimately one of the best recruits that you can get. Her speed and skill have EXCELLENT growths, rivaling swordmasters. That doesn't mean that's all she's good for, she's got great growths everywhere (well, except magic, but she won't be needing that for much). She's a very powerful front-line unit, and can definitely hold the line if needed. She also has a very good skill in Wraith, which increases her critical hit percentage by 50% when she's under 50% health (30% in Radiant Dawn). This is combined with the Halberdier's bonus 5% to crit (which turns into 10% upon becoming a Sentinel) and a Killer Lance (which gives an additional 30% by itself), she becomes a force of Lance-using Nature! Not only that, but the Sentinel's skill, Impale, randomly deals an attack that deals x4 damage that works well as the chance of it working is equal to her high Skill. In fact, Have a video of Nephenee utterly destroying a DRAGON. Unfortunately, she's not integral to the game plot, which means you shouldn't get her killed or something. You do get a good amount of time to train her, though, which is always useful.
No matter her in-game use, that's not the only reason I like Nephenee. She's a cute, shy character due to her "country" origins. She uses words like "ain't" and "reckon" and has a really deep accent, but really doesn't say much to others that aren't from a similar area. Her supports in Path of Radiance are either with a guy that lived in the same village (Brom), a "upper crust" woman I talked about earlier (Calil), and the other spearwielder, a silly guy obsessed with making her feel happy (Devdan). In Brom's supports, we find out that she's the oldest daughter (with two younger sisters and three younger brother triplets), and she doesn't care for war (though she'll join if it is to defend her country). She's also easily intimidated (by Devdan, mostly forcing her to smile by telling her things like "You had better start to smile more... Or else!"). She's adorable though! She's especially kind and caring, and when mixed with her shyness makes for a wonderful character.
Grade: A
Libido: Unfortunately, unlike many Fire Emblem characters, there is no canon guy who pairs up with Nephenee. She's also not really shipped with anyone. Well, excluding the fact that a Rogue named Heather in Radiant Dawn has shown interest in her, though that's more of a running joke than anything (Heather is the type who would take advantage of a guy financially).
Grade: C+
Age: Her age is unknown, but she seems teenage. Because three years pass between Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, I'm assuming she's between 17 and 19 in the second game. As I can't be sure, though, I'll keep her score a bit low.
Grade: B+
Total Grades: 67
Average score: 7.4
Final Grade: B-
Man, this one's late. I apologize for it not being a "well-known" character either (though anyone who has played the two Fire Emblem games she's in definitely know who she is).

Example #136: Not a (half) Ghost of a chance.
This is the Hundred-and-thirty-sixth week of using the "Perfect Anime Girl Sheet". Notice: This Blog may contain Unmarked Spoilers.
Welcome back to exploring my psyche everyone. Last week we explored where my love of meganekkos (likely) came from, and this week we explore a side of me I don't show very much. You see, this week I'll show my loli-
: Today better not be me.
Well, I was planning and...
: Nope, I don't FEEL up for it. Use someone else if you want to do you perverted "blog" then.
But you're my favorite loli character! You're like the best girl for this week!
: Tough cookies.
: C'mon Rika, just do it, and he can unsummon you!
: Eh, I've grown accustomed to living it up at Empry's place. It's so nice here Nipah~
...I can't resist the nipah...
: Hows about this, you stop blogging about anime girls for, eh, a month. Then we'll talk.
Not doing anime girls for a month! That's impossible. Wait, no. I have an idea.
: No he doesn't. See you in a month everyone, enjoy your Thursdays.
The solution is simple! This month will be...
: Devoid of your perverted blogs?
VIDEO GAME GIRL MONTH!
: WHAT? NO! I meant the blogs in general, not just anime girls!
Too late for that now, I've already given you a literal wish!
: UU! How dare you mock my words. You will rue this day! *storms off*
Huh, I mean I said it would be video game girl month, but it seems that I don't have many to blog about. I'd better check my other side... You have any Topaz?
: Any what? I didn't eat any cake...
You had cake, didn't you.
: If I did, it certainly was soft and tasty... I mean no...
But putting the cake aside, do you happen to have any video game girls?
: Why yes I do! I was thinking that this July would be like last, so I've prepared a Touhou girl already.
Great! Fireworks always puts me in the Danmaku mood. So who's the lucky girl?
(Note: I may be using fanon/personal opinions about Touhou characters)
Head
Hair: Youmu has short silvery-white hair (mostly white, though). Note that in the fighting games, the palate for her hair may change to different colors (including black!), but I'm not taking that as canon. She has a very delightful straight cut as well, giving her a very cute look. Her sides are longer, about as long as the rest of her hair, which barely reaches her shoulders (at the longest point). It's mostly very neat, but is messy in the latest game (13) which I dislike. I like her having almost helmet-like hair, it's adorable! She also wears a black headband with a black bow as her required headgear and it looks so cute.
Grade: B
Eyes: As I've said multiple times, the images from the actual Touhou games aren't spectacular (with the exceptions being the fighting games, especially Scarlet Weather where she's really lovely). Youmu herself does look quite good, though, with blueish green eyes (a truly lovely color). Again, the latest game has them turn silver, which I'm not a fan of (not that I dislike silver eyes, but her eye color was perfect before).
Grade: B-
Face: She's somewhat meh, but she is pretty expressive (usually, as she is pretty emotionless as well). She's cute but not gorgeous.
Grade: B
Body
Build: Youmu is small and thin, but couldn't be confused with being "loli" all that much (though as we'll see later, that's not the only thing that could make you confused). She's about average, it seems. Not too shapely, but about right for a teenage girl.
I should also mention that she's half ghost (to be precise, half "phantom", but still...). How that works is left a mystery that hasn't been fully explain (I assume that she didn't take the full class levels for ghost xD). Because of this, she has a floating ghost hanging around her. Or maybe SHE'S the ghost part and the "ghost" is actually Youmu! We don't know for sure, but the consensus is that the girl part is Youmu and the "ghost" is called Myon (due to a word she said in one of the games).
...I still think that thing looks like a sperm.
Grade: B
Breasts: *this part has been chopped away by what seems to be two swords...
Grade: D
Clothes: Youmu has a surprisingly good outfit. It has a schoolgirl flavor, with the green jacket and skirt over a white blouse. She even has a bowtie/ribbon near her collar! She also has approximately knee-high socks, and cute black shoes. Overall, very cute, especially when you take what fan art puts her it (school swimsuits are common. Because you know, she has the figure for it).
She carries around two swords. The longer blade, called Roukanken (Lookout-Tower Sword), is said to be able to kill ten ghosts in one swipe, while the shorter blade which is called Hakurouken (White Tower Sword), is able to cleave through a person's own confusion. I don't understand the confusion part, but both seem absurdly sharp ("The things that cannot be cut by my Roukanken, forged by youkai, are next to none!").
Grade: A-
Mind
Personality: Youmu is an honor blade, meaning that she's a serious swordswoman who upholds honor and justice. She may be a bit quick to attack Youkai, but is generally nice to humans (if a bit tacturn). She is defensive to Yuyuko, her boss and friend, and acts as a guardian to her. And also gardener. And, knowing how much Yuyuko eats, she probably has to cook a lot (Yuyuko is based off of "Hungry Ghost" legends). She's serious, but occasionally has moments of naivety. She's very straight forward and focused as well. Her near-emotionless serious manner and general cuteness makes her one of my favorite Touhou characters. She's also terrified of things that are scary like, ironically enough, ghost stories (her master is a ghost, and is half ghost herself). Being not good with scary stuff is really cute.
She has an unknown sword style. It's given that she's learned it from her father Youki (or could be grandfather? silly translations), but other than that not much is known. Besides, you know, how effective it is. In a bullet hell game, she's quite unique as in some games she's able to cut bullets away and/or deflect them. In addition, in those games she treats Myon as an option, being able to shoot in multiple directions. It's quite useful if you get used to it. I like using Youmu, but I'm nowhere near expert level (I can barely beat "easy" modes). In the fighting games she's also effective, having a pretty much "I win" button spell card (she becomes 3 people using her super speed). Speaking of her speed, how fast is she? Well, one of her spell cards is entitled "Two Hundred Yojana in One Slash.", and being that a "Yojana"is about 6 to 15 km, the spell card implies that Youmu can travel 1200 to 3000 km in the 2 frames (out of 60 f/sec) or so it takes to make a single slash. In one comic, that's explored and it is found that she moves at 93% the speed of light. And speed isn't really her power...
Grade: A-
Libido: None is really shown. She does have a master/servant relation with Yuyuko, but it's not that way. At least, in-universe....
Grade: C+
Age: Her age is unknown. She seems to be teenage, but as a half-ghost she could be older than she looks. The only evidence is that she seems younger than sixty (which may be obvious, after all).
Grade: B-
Total Grades: 69
Average score: 7.7
Final Grade: B
Overall, I do like Youmu, and she's useful in games as well. Touhou in general reminds me of another series of games I enjoy playing (but, like Touhou, am pretty bad at). Wait... That same series has a bunch of girls as well! I should talk about some of them this month!
: Glad you enjoyed my notes, I'll take my leave. Until we see each other again!
Good luck, Topaz!
Welcome back to exploring my psyche everyone. Last week we explored where my love of meganekkos (likely) came from, and this week we explore a side of me I don't show very much. You see, this week I'll show my loli-
: Today better not be me.Well, I was planning and...
: Nope, I don't FEEL up for it. Use someone else if you want to do you perverted "blog" then. But you're my favorite loli character! You're like the best girl for this week!
: Tough cookies.: C'mon Rika, just do it, and he can unsummon you!: Eh, I've grown accustomed to living it up at Empry's place. It's so nice here Nipah~...I can't resist the nipah...
: Hows about this, you stop blogging about anime girls for, eh, a month. Then we'll talk.Not doing anime girls for a month! That's impossible. Wait, no. I have an idea.
: No he doesn't. See you in a month everyone, enjoy your Thursdays.The solution is simple! This month will be...
: Devoid of your perverted blogs?VIDEO GAME GIRL MONTH!
: WHAT? NO! I meant the blogs in general, not just anime girls!Too late for that now, I've already given you a literal wish!
: UU! How dare you mock my words. You will rue this day! *storms off*Huh, I mean I said it would be video game girl month, but it seems that I don't have many to blog about. I'd better check my other side... You have any Topaz?
: Any what? I didn't eat any cake... You had cake, didn't you.
: If I did, it certainly was soft and tasty... I mean no...But putting the cake aside, do you happen to have any video game girls?
: Why yes I do! I was thinking that this July would be like last, so I've prepared a Touhou girl already.Great! Fireworks always puts me in the Danmaku mood. So who's the lucky girl?
(Note: I may be using fanon/personal opinions about Touhou characters)
Head
Hair: Youmu has short silvery-white hair (mostly white, though). Note that in the fighting games, the palate for her hair may change to different colors (including black!), but I'm not taking that as canon. She has a very delightful straight cut as well, giving her a very cute look. Her sides are longer, about as long as the rest of her hair, which barely reaches her shoulders (at the longest point). It's mostly very neat, but is messy in the latest game (13) which I dislike. I like her having almost helmet-like hair, it's adorable! She also wears a black headband with a black bow as her required headgear and it looks so cute.
Grade: B
Eyes: As I've said multiple times, the images from the actual Touhou games aren't spectacular (with the exceptions being the fighting games, especially Scarlet Weather where she's really lovely). Youmu herself does look quite good, though, with blueish green eyes (a truly lovely color). Again, the latest game has them turn silver, which I'm not a fan of (not that I dislike silver eyes, but her eye color was perfect before).
Grade: B-
Face: She's somewhat meh, but she is pretty expressive (usually, as she is pretty emotionless as well). She's cute but not gorgeous.
Grade: B
Body
Build: Youmu is small and thin, but couldn't be confused with being "loli" all that much (though as we'll see later, that's not the only thing that could make you confused). She's about average, it seems. Not too shapely, but about right for a teenage girl.
I should also mention that she's half ghost (to be precise, half "phantom", but still...). How that works is left a mystery that hasn't been fully explain (I assume that she didn't take the full class levels for ghost xD). Because of this, she has a floating ghost hanging around her. Or maybe SHE'S the ghost part and the "ghost" is actually Youmu! We don't know for sure, but the consensus is that the girl part is Youmu and the "ghost" is called Myon (due to a word she said in one of the games).
...I still think that thing looks like a sperm.
Grade: B
Breasts: *this part has been chopped away by what seems to be two swords...
Grade: D
Clothes: Youmu has a surprisingly good outfit. It has a schoolgirl flavor, with the green jacket and skirt over a white blouse. She even has a bowtie/ribbon near her collar! She also has approximately knee-high socks, and cute black shoes. Overall, very cute, especially when you take what fan art puts her it (school swimsuits are common. Because you know, she has the figure for it).
She carries around two swords. The longer blade, called Roukanken (Lookout-Tower Sword), is said to be able to kill ten ghosts in one swipe, while the shorter blade which is called Hakurouken (White Tower Sword), is able to cleave through a person's own confusion. I don't understand the confusion part, but both seem absurdly sharp ("The things that cannot be cut by my Roukanken, forged by youkai, are next to none!").
Grade: A-
Mind
Personality: Youmu is an honor blade, meaning that she's a serious swordswoman who upholds honor and justice. She may be a bit quick to attack Youkai, but is generally nice to humans (if a bit tacturn). She is defensive to Yuyuko, her boss and friend, and acts as a guardian to her. And also gardener. And, knowing how much Yuyuko eats, she probably has to cook a lot (Yuyuko is based off of "Hungry Ghost" legends). She's serious, but occasionally has moments of naivety. She's very straight forward and focused as well. Her near-emotionless serious manner and general cuteness makes her one of my favorite Touhou characters. She's also terrified of things that are scary like, ironically enough, ghost stories (her master is a ghost, and is half ghost herself). Being not good with scary stuff is really cute.
She has an unknown sword style. It's given that she's learned it from her father Youki (or could be grandfather? silly translations), but other than that not much is known. Besides, you know, how effective it is. In a bullet hell game, she's quite unique as in some games she's able to cut bullets away and/or deflect them. In addition, in those games she treats Myon as an option, being able to shoot in multiple directions. It's quite useful if you get used to it. I like using Youmu, but I'm nowhere near expert level (I can barely beat "easy" modes). In the fighting games she's also effective, having a pretty much "I win" button spell card (she becomes 3 people using her super speed). Speaking of her speed, how fast is she? Well, one of her spell cards is entitled "Two Hundred Yojana in One Slash.", and being that a "Yojana"is about 6 to 15 km, the spell card implies that Youmu can travel 1200 to 3000 km in the 2 frames (out of 60 f/sec) or so it takes to make a single slash. In one comic, that's explored and it is found that she moves at 93% the speed of light. And speed isn't really her power...
Grade: A-
Libido: None is really shown. She does have a master/servant relation with Yuyuko, but it's not that way. At least, in-universe....
Grade: C+

Example #100: Super Awesome Topaz Hundredth Blog Special!
Hey topaz.
: Yes, empry?
You know what time it is?
: I think it's time for...
Yes, it's that time again...
Together (
): Welcome to:
: Man, one hundred blogs. Where did all the time go?
: So who's the lucky girl?
Well, Topaz, how about I give you hints, and then you'll guess.
: This is just a cop out so you can drag out who it is, isn't it....
Yes it is, yes it is. But this way people will be more surprised. But now for the first clue: Here I am talking to you. Thus, I must not have gotten out of the Touhou universe. So it must be someone from there, doesn't it?
: I suppose so.
: But you've already done like everyone of your favorites. No names really stand out.
Take a guess.
: I dunno. Reimu? I mean, she is the main star and everything...
WRONG!
: ....
Next hint is: All of the readers will know her.
: Stop it with the intentionally vague clues! Are you trying to provoke me?
Yes.
: ...
: THIS IS STUPID!
No no, Cirno was last week.
: Now I'm getting the bad jokes... Great....
: I suppose I could guess randomly: Alice.
Nope.
: Kagura.
Nuh-uh.
: Youmu.
You're just saying random characters now.
: Adriana Manya.
That's not even a touhou character. Stop that.
: Well then, why don't you just tell me?
Fine.... It's.....
Till next time folks!
: Yes, empry?You know what time it is?
: I think it's time for...Yes, it's that time again...

: !
: WHAT?
: NOOOO! NOT MY FULL NAME! RAAAAAAAAAAGGGGEEE!!
: Hopefully the readers will continue to call me Topaz. Just Topaz... 
: Originally, the reason for this is because empry wears baseball caps too. He put it on me because I needed some sort of headgear. Going headgear-less around here means you're almost going around naked. 
: There.... You see, nothing spectacular.
: “SO MOE HRRRRRGGGGG”.
: Oh, and black shoes. I don't know why I wear all these things specifically, but they are quite comfy.
: That's what YOU think....
Till next time folks!
