Gensoukyou:Koishi Komeiji

Background
Koishi, along with her sister, are not part of a particularly complex story; by all means their beginnings are relatively humble. At the time that this story begins, both of them lived on the side of a mountain, away from the eyes of humans in general, as Satori knew that Humans hated the satori race. As such, she deigned to be as far from them as possible and instructed Koishi to stay away from them. Koishi was not an outgoing girl, but she did, on some level, wish to be accepted by Humans. She would frequently befriend the many animals that came by, perhaps attracted by the very same quality of satori that humans despise. She was gladdened by their presence for a while, because to be honest, as much as she loves her sister, Satori can be sort of dull and overprotective at times. However, it was not a permanent fix, and Koishi felt drawn closer and closer to the Humans as time passed.

Eventually, the day came that she could not resist going to the nearest village to visit. But...the results were not good. Despite Koishi doing her best to teach humans that Satori were nothing to be hated, their disgust and fear of them pushed them to trying to drive her away, generally by throwing rocks at her and waving sharp things in her face. While she was certainly frightened by their violent, crude thoughts, she stood her ground. But...the rocks stung and she broke down a little from the sheer hatred these people directed at her. Her sister came to her aid, having figured out where Koishi had went, threatening the Humans to back off. Satori was much more Adamant and stern in the way that she spoke, giving authority to her otherwise empty threats. But, the Humans bought into them and gave both of the sisters a wide berth during which Satori picked up the traumatized Koishi and brought her back home.

Satori found out about the creation of Gensoukyou, hearing that it was a haven for youkai of all kinds, she figured it would be a good fit for them. However, it turned out that even the other youkai there hated them and they soon found themselves hiding away in one of the most remote places they could find there; Old Hell. They had moved into an abandoned mansion, which they later found out to be called The Palace of the Earth Spirits. Satori herself eventually came into the employ of the Celestial Bureaucracy due to her power’s usefulness in dealing with evil spirits. But Koishi’s mental condition rapidly deteriorated, becoming very unstable. She was unable to cope with the fact that everyone hated her just because of her ability. In truth, Koishi never liked reading minds in the first place. “The minds of others are filthy,” she thought, “full of corruption and strife. It is a horrible thing that can bring nothing but unhappiness.”

Now, Koishi was not unaware of exactly what shutting her eye would do, contrary to beliefs that other people might have. The act itself was one of desperation. She knew that it would give her what she wanted….but at a very grave cost. She accepted the trade, and thus did what no other satori had dared to do. By sealing herself off from matters of the conscious mind, her operations became solely that of the subconscious. Thus, Satori was unable to look into her mind ever again, as it was a dark void of nothingness, devoid of even the barest hint of a feature. In the end, Koishi got exactly as she desired; to be unhateable.

Personality
Koishi’s personality is pretty much non-existent compared to common definitions, but it does exist, however unnoticable. Koishi’s actions are dictated almost solely by her Id, which means that she does whatever she wants to do at any given time without stopping to think about things first. Generally, this manifests as her being very carefree and whimsical, seemingly taking actions for no reason whatsoever. However, there is a trick to this when she is dealing with other people. Essentially, she responds in kind to whatever subconscious action the other person takes. for example, kindness and love from others will be met with kindness and love from Koishi; likewise, aggression will be met with aggression. She will not hesitate to reply in kind to whatever subconscious thing is thrown her way. Although, sometimes, depending on the situation, this may not be the case at all, ending in her being playful instead. Perhaps she still has a mind somewhere in that head of hers?

This can either make her very safe to be around or very dangerous to be around depending on the kinds of people around her. It’s best not to behave aggressively towards her, as she is quite capable of destroying people’s minds if she wants to. You could almost say that she is eldritch in nature. She is, however, capable of introducing her Super-Ego element while subtracting the Id if she wants to, making her far more serious and rational than she is normally, but she doesn’t like doing this often and finds it boring.

Power/Combat
Koishi’s power is the manipulation of the subconscious, an inverted power compared to that of other satori. She can see deep into how people work, revealing things about people that they might not even know about themselves. These things, if revealed to them, could very easily break them. Additionally, if angered, Koishi could more or less strip people of their minds entirely. To make things short, she has control of the mind (indirectly, through the subconscious), which means instinct, wants, social pressures, etc can all be manipulated by her.

She can make people see whatever she wishes them to see, often forcing them to face whatever it is that they fear in the most invasive and effective manner there is. Truly, she is a being of great power and encounters with her should be regarded with the utmost care. However, for many people, once they stop looking at her, they forget she ever existed. This is different if they know her as Satori’s sister or through some other person who knows who she is. It should be noted that when she gets particularly serious, her Eye of Enlightenment opens ever so slightly...

Spellcards
(Stuff here)

Major
- Satori Komeiji: This is her sister we’re talking about, here, so their relationship is going to be pretty obvious. Essentially, Satori is one of the few people that truly understands Koishi on some level and cares for her deeply. Because of this love, Koishi responds in kind; thus she loves her sister very much and tries her best to please her. However, she doesn’t like when Satori treats her like a child; despite her sometimes carefree and childish demeanor, she is very much a capable and intelligent person.

- The Pets of Chireiden: As with Satori, Koishi responds positively to the affection she receives from the various pets; thus she thinks very highly of them.

Minor
- Marisa Kirisame: Marisa is an interesting case. Due to her attitude, Koishi feels somewhat drawn to the magician. They are friends and playmates of a sort and spend time together often.

- Byakuren Hijiri: Because of Koishi’s near state of Mu, she is considered to be incredibly close to enlightenment. As such, Byakuren requested that Koishi become a lay woman for the temple. Koishi didn’t have any particular reasons not to accept, and thus she did accept.

Trivia
-Koishi’s hat is very precious to her, one will almost never see her without it.
