Gensoukyou:Sanae Kochiya

Background
Sanae is known to be a confident and energetic girl with a curiosity to match. She is absolutely fascinated by Gensokyou due to her upbringing in the outside world. In this way, she's one of the few outsiders who adapted to Gensokyou quickly. She's also loves to tell stories about the outside world to others.

She is somewhat of an airhead, being too dutiful for her own good and getting carried away with things when she's not thinking for herself. When given a task, she'll pursue the task without any sort of critical thinking and quickly get caught up in it. She even forgets sometimes that she's in Gensokyou and start explaining or talking about things that the residents of Gensokyou have no idea about.

Although taking pleasure in youkai extermination, this positive tendency resulted from her interest in anime and video games. Feeling like the heroine of a video game, she carries out her duties as a wind priestess, youkai exterminator, and incident resolver with much enthusiasm. She is known to show no mercy toward any youkai she comes across.

Power/Combat
Ability to cause miracles Sanae has the ability to invoke miracles. Most of these miracles are associated with weather manipulation. And by invoking miracles, she has the ability to increase the chance of certain events to happen. The more unlikely it is for these certain events to happen, the longer it takes her to cast the invocation. Simple 'miracles' on the level of street magic can be done with the utter of a word while invoking catastrophic events will take days of continuous invocation.

Abilities as a shrine maiden Sanae has the abilities of a shrine maiden like Reimu. However due to the gods they worship, Sanae's powers differ slightly. She can fly and summon gods to borrow their strength. This ability however is limited to only Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya. Like Reimu, she has access to the arsenal of a miko. e.g. Ofudas, onusas, etc.

Major
-Suwako Moriya & Kanako Yasaka Being her patron gods, Sanae has naturally formed strong bonds with these two. -will fill in more after more discussions with Rosette- -Reimu Despite their rough first impressions, the two are now on friendly terms.
