Traits: (canon will be in bold)

Her own personality is blank, but child-like. It is difficult to communicate with her because of such.

She performs all of her actions on the spot as she feels like it, even she doesn’t know why she does it at times.

Koishi is cat-like in where she doesn’t like to stay in one place for a lengthy amount of time. She stays for a while until her boredom hits and then leaves. Because of this; she also doesn’t exactly have a long attention span.

To this day she still doesn’t entertain the idea of reading minds; finding it too depressing to read peoples mind and nothing good comes out of it.

She isn’t so much antagonistic, but she is unaware that some of the things she does can seem very untactful or just uncomfortable. Hence she’ll violate a lot of personal bubbles.
If someone DOES try to antagonize her, she will retaliate in defense.

Koishi will always speak her observations. So she will sound like ‘Captain Obvious’ a lot.

Because she never thinks before she speaks, she will be quite blunt with certain things. Much like a child would.

Koishi is actually quite polite to all of the older looking people or to just everyone. It’s a habit she’s learned from Satori that she must mind her manners, however they do go away if she gets excited.

While she does feel the most comfortable with animals, Koishi will be a bit irresponsible with them. She will grab more animals to play with, or ‘spirit away’ if they aren’t hers to hell and leave them to Satori’s care when she finally gets bored.


Misc:

The hat was given to her by her older sister, Satori. Ever since she had the scar from ripping out the cord from her mind to her Third Eye, Satori had the hat made especially for her.
She is quite protective of the hat because of it. (Insert the hat is my friend it helps me relax meme here)

Koishi can’t have romantic feelings for anyone as she has sealed away her heart. The only thing she has close to feelings like that is for her sister, and that’s only affection for her AS a sister.

Satoris as a species can be one of three things;

A mind reading mountain youkai who feast on humans but is instantly scared off by unforeseen events or circumstances and flees.
A child incarnation of a ruined mountain god
literal embodiment of the term ‘satori’ in Buddhist terms which means to ‘see your true self nature.’ However simply seeing into ones true nature isn’t enough, one also has to mature and learn from it.

My opinion is that the Komeiji sisters are the embodiments of the concept of satori instead.

Body:


Koishi does have a scar from where she ripped the cord from her mind to her Eye. The scar is hidden by her hat.

Koishi’s height would be around 4’9- 5’2. A bit on the short side.

Her hair is actually shoulder length and wavy. Also poofy.

Her Third Eye, on top of also being closed, has three threads sewing the lid closed.

Subconciousness [This is all mun speculation. It is unknown in canon that she can do this, but these are my ideas regarding what her abilities incorporate.]

Abilities:

Ever had that moment where you put something down and then it disappeared? Only to find it located in another area? That would be Koishi at work; grabbing something of her interest and then leaving it when she was done.

Since Koishi is largely driven by her subconscious desires, physical intimacy such as hugs, kisses, and cuddling come naturally to her. She sees no real problem or romantic subtext to such things, simply doing them as friendly gestures.

If Koishi ever really wants to convince someone to do something or agree with her, her tone and body language subconsciously shift to project subliminal messaging to attempt to will that person over to her way of thinking.

In addition to the above, from Chirei-De; Koishi can possibly channel her subconcious behavior; either by touch or by using body language.

Koishi can also ‘spirit away’ people in a sense that they will have a sensation of them going somewhere in a trance. It can be broken by an outside influence either by shouting or by interference. After being broken by this trance, one would feel as if they have no recollection of why they were there or going in the first place.
[Ever had that experience where you go somewhere and completely forgot why you were there or going to go? This is pretty much that experience.]

That also said, Koishi can manage to make people speak Freudian Slips a lot more when they’re around her. Or she may misinterpret things to make it sound like a Freudian Slip.

Koishi generates a “Someone else’s Problem Field” effect; She is generally unnoticeable unless she is seen in someone’s direct line of sight. When someone finally notices her, then she becomes noticed within the immediate area.

Even if one can see her with their eyes, it would feel as if she did not exist, like a living mirage.
To the eyes of children she is the equivalent of an imaginary friend. 
Those with ties to the supernatural can FEEL as if she’s there, sense of her presence or the feeling of ‘one being watched’.

Empath related powers; given how she deals with subconscious, she will be able to see through ‘masks’ people have made themselves and see their true emotions.
 Essentially a tsundere’s worse nightmare as she’ll be able to tell their true feelings.
 Also very bad to be around with people who have unresolved trauma in their lives for she might stir up some memories of such events.

In the Touhou universe; a wide variety of life exists there from myth demons and gods alike. Because they also like to eat humans or play malicious pranks as part of their nature, a system was devised to help keep demons in check, yet also let them use their abilities and fight in a non lethal manner.

Spellcards and Danmaku fights is the way main of fighting. Danmaku, or bullet hell, is essentially what it is; a bunch of bullets formed in beautiful patterns. Each Touhou character has a specific pattern set or even types of bullets unique to them, think of it as a sort of theme.

Now, for the actual ‘spellcards’.
Spellcards are a specific set of bullet patterns.
It was specified in Perfect Memento in Strict Sense that the spell card system was developed by Reimu (however, the original draft being written on a youkai contract has called this into question) and first used in the Scarlet Mist Incident. They were designed to give even weak youkai and humans a chance to win, as well as to provide youkai a way to defeat the Hakurei Shrine in a fair duel. They are described as pieces of paper bearing the descriptions of their respective spells, along with the possible approval of the shrine maiden.

There are several types of spellcards:
The regular ones are the ones where the ways to dispel the card is to time it out or by hitting them until they lose ‘concentration’ and break the card.

Then there’s the ‘Time out’ cards: These cards are the type that usually are only beaten by only timing out on the card. Its usually an endurance kind of test.

The last is the ‘Survival’ kind. This is very similar to the Time out, card, but there’s usually no way to attack back and you have to survive in order to beat the card.

Koishi’s theme deals with subconsciousness, genetics/DNA, and roses. She and her sister even share a unique type of bullet, heart shaped ones.

Symposium of Post Mysticism summary

Summary:
Koishi is a species of youkai known as a satori; youkai capable of reading people’s minds through the Third Eye placed above their hearts. However, because of this ability she and her sister have become hated and despised, and eventually they self exiled into the Forgotten Hell.

Even in Hell though they were despised for their nature. Koishi, no longer able to deal with the hatred, closed her Third Eye to prevent herself from reading minds. This backfires on her; Koishi has become carefree and aimless, hardly attached to anything. She’s gained a completely different ability instead as well, manipulation of subconsciousness.

After the events of Subterranean Animism, Koishi returns home and learns of what happened; Satori losing to a powerful human ousider and Okuu gaining the power of Yatagarasu through Gods. She decides to visit the Moriya Shrine, who’s gods granted Okuu this power and encounters the protagonists instead. Challenging them to a fight and losing to them, she came to a realization; if there are just as powerful and interesting people on the surface world, perhaps she wouldn’t have minded keeping her Eye opened.

[I realize that Touhou Project has very little canon to work with and a whole loootta fanon. I do take my Koishi from what canon I get from SoPM and the game dialogue and scenarios.
I also take in canons and theories from the Touhou/New Touhou alternate interpretation threads and two other doujins.

Chireide and Koishi the Loving Gourmet.

Either way, do feel free to send me anything regarding my character! Constructive Criticism is always a plus!]
