Day 14: Louise

Just your average makai person

Day 14: Louise

The only thing I find notable for Louise is her potential. She could be a nice lens into makai life as a whole, which is an unexplored part of lore. I like her design too, with it being pretty unique as a whole. Generally, she could fill a role of showing makai to us as someone whose experiences with it, which would be nice.

I want someone to write a scenario where she goes on a vacation to Gensokyo. The protagonists stopped her mid-travel in Mystic Square, but I think it'd be cool if she had some interactions during her stay or something. Maybe with Byakuren, since she was sealed there in the past?

A bit random, but I also like her role in Puppet Dance Performance as the checkpoint station before that game's Victory Road parallel.

I really like that after you beat Louise, she reappears in Stage 4 (with the sprite looking very pissed), makes sense since you attacked her without explanation (not a new thing in Touhou, as Marisa says shoot first ask questions later).

It also reinforces my idea that in Mystic Square you are essentially destroying Makai as you go, making her Stage 4 appearance more meaningful as now she is really trying her hardest to stop you from wrecking Makai
