((This is an independent RP blog for the touhou character Suika Ibuki, I will roleplay with anyone. Warning, this blog can sometimes get very NSFW.))Hiya! name's Suika Ibuki, and I'm an oni that has two personalities, a drunk personality, and and sinister stalker personality. So I'm just going let you know, before weird things happen. And hey If you all want to go drinking with me for a contest, Watch out! If your a human and you lose, I'll take you! Well besides that... welcome to gensokyo, i hope to get along with you guys all well. Suika Ibuki (伊吹 萃香 Ibuki Suika) is the only oni currently living above ground in Gensokyo, with the remainder of the oni race living underground. Just as the folktales say, she has two horns on her head that symbolize her oni heritage, and enough physical strength to throw large boulders single-handedly.Her first name Suika (萃香) is not a legitimate Japanese word, but literally it can be translated as "gathering fragrance". Incidentally, suika (スイカ/西瓜/水瓜) is the word for watermelon in the Japanese language (in common Japanese, the pitch accent for "watermelon" is flat. In order to distinguish, native speakers pronounce her name as "Su*[high] i*[high] ka*[low]"). Her last name Ibuki (伊吹) can mean Chinese Juniper in Japanese, but in her case, it's highly likely to be a reference to Shuten-douji (Ibuki-douji). Shuten-douji (酒呑童子) is the leader of the oni, that is told to live in Mt. Ooe (大江山 Ooe-yama). He is thought to be the most powerful oni ever existed and known to be one of Japan's Big Three Youkai (日本三大妖怪). Due to the similarity of their names, many fans believe she's based on Shuten-douji. In the Otogizooshi , Shuten-douji is said to have been abandoned after birth at the foot of Mt. Ibuki, and to have been previously been known as 伊吹童子 (Ibuki-douji). 萃香 (Suika - lit. gathering, fragrance) 酒呑 (Shuten - lit. alcohol, drink) Appearance Suika has two long straight oni horns on her head, decorated with ribbons. She wears a tattered pale pink blouse, a long purple and pink skirt, and 3 chain accessories tied to her belt. Her eyes are brown. Though fighting games sprites represent her with blonde/light brown hair, it must be considered as an error, Suika's real hair color actually being ginger (orange) according to Alphes' artworks and ZUN's artworks and sprites. Personality During the events of Immaterial and Missing Power, the people of Gensokyo were manipulated into having feasts repeatedly, one right after another, by Suika's ability to "gather" anything. She intended to draw all the other oni out of hiding with continuous, non-stop celebration. In most characters' scenarios, Suika was defeated and the number of feasts began to decrease. In Suika's scenario, she managed to defeat all of her major foes in a feast, but her plan failed anyway due to Reimu's ability and her own short-comings as an oni.In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she notices that temperaments are being gathered from everyone into the sky, so she decides to climb up the Youkai Mountain to follow them. Once she reaches the heavens, she locates the perpetrator. Instead of trying to put an end to whatever plot was going on, Suika demands a living space in the heavens. She later gathers everyone to the heavens to attack Tenshi Hinanawi, although whether it was to punish the celestial or just to pass the time is unclear. Subterranean Animism Main article: Subterranean Animism Story Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Main article: Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Suika Aya realizes that the Moon has exploded late one midwinter night and goes to interview the person responsible, Suika Ibuki. Suika is drunk, but she manages to tell Aya that she did it as a threat to all those who were partying, reminding them of onis by shattering the sky, a proof of their awesome strength by splitting the sky apart so easily to blow up the Moon. During the follow interview, Suika challenges Aya to a drinking match even as she asks her for sake. Aya seems to accept and invites Suika to drink with her at a nearby food cart, with hilarious results as Suika talks about silencing the poor owner. Aya then mentions her surprise at Suika and the onis being back. Suika responds that she is the only one, and she's come back only for a while. She also tells Aya how sad she is that the tengu have lost most of their influence. Suika finishes by accusing the tengu of not showing their strength and Aya ends the discussion by inviting Suika to drink about gathering news for her. Relationships Reimu Hakurei Reimu's honesty in Immaterial and Missing Power impressed the oni when they first met. The oni now drops by the shrine often. Reimu usually has Suika pick up garbage. Once Suika even gave Reimu a wine worm as a gift so they could drink quality sake together (unfortunately, a series of events resulted in the worm being lost). She has teamed up with Reimu to go along with Yukari's scheme in Subterranean Animism. Yukari Yakumo Yukari was Suika's friend before the oni went underground. It is unknown how or when they became friends. Yukari cares about Suika, as her (hypothetical) Immaterial and Missing Power story has her stop Suika because she's worried that people will find Suika whom won't be as forgiving as Yukari is. Suika does favors for Yukari, such as rebuilding the Hakurei Shrine in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody or going along with her scheme in Subterranean Animism. The two play danmaku battles with each other, though it's been a while since the last one before Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. In Oriental Sacred Place Chapter 12, Yukari is with Suika at the Hakurei Shrine New Year's Festival. Suika (an oni) does tend to get annoyed with Yukari's "dirty tricks", but doesn't go beyond snapping that they're dirty. Suika referred to Yukari's existence as fraudulent to Youmu Konpaku in Immaterial and Missing Power, and stated to Yukari that it was rare to see her "on this side of the world" in broad daylight in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. These may be simple figures of speech, or they may show that Suika knows many deeper things about Yukari. Tenshi Hinanawi Suika travelled up to Heaven and beat up Tenshi to get some land. Iku mentions in her ending that Tenshi must have gave it to her without consulting any of the other celestials about the matter. Since then, Suika played at least one prank on Tenshi by gathering up many others to come fight her. Tenshi initially figured that it'd be okay because Suika will get bored and leave heaven soon, but by the time the final story (Tenshi's) in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody ends, Suika's still up there, causing Tenshi to worry about just how long the oni plans on staying. Iku first encounters Suika when Suika is climbing to Heaven to see someone, where she tested Suika before allowing Suika to move on. Suika won, surprising Iku with her power. Iku later runs into Suika while searching for Tenshi Hinanawi to file a report on earthquakes. The oni requests Iku play with her for a bit and fights Iku in a duel. Iku is extremely confused why the oni is still in Heaven, but had to get back to her job. Eventually, after a long string of being attacked by various residents of Gensokyo for no reason whatsoever and an infuriating meeting with Tenshi, the poor exhausted oarfish arrives back in heaven and runs into the oni again. Suika's story of Tenshi giving her land gets the oarfish even more exasperated at the celestial, and Suika cheerfully comforts her and pours her a drink, encouraging Iku to vent her complaints to the oni. It is unknown if they became friends after that or not. Patchouli Knowledge After the events of Immaterial and Missing Power, Patchouli seems to have developed a bit of an obsession with taking down the oni, although the feeling isn't mutual. She now has the Scarlet Devil Mansion host Setsubun (basically an anti-oni festival) every year, despite how none of the other residents like it (the fried beans burn the mistress, and the fairy maids hate cleaning up afterwards). Suika has taken note of this and in retaliation to the first festival, destroyed the moon as a display of her own power (actually only an image of the moon. ...by shattering the heavens to do it). It is unknown if residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion noticed. In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Patchouli goes right past Tenshi Hinanawi (the real culprit, quite confused) to attack Suika, instead. Patchouli has no books on the oni, but dialogue shows she knew what oni were before meeting Suika. Her wariness towards oni subconsciously existed before that, as it is revealed in Sakuya's ending that despite claiming she didn't know about oni, Patchouli knew an oni caused the feast, revealing a subconscious knowledge on the matter. Prior to that, every once in a while, Patchouli would order coffee made from good beans instead of the usual red tea. Sakuya did not know why, but after discovering this subconscious trait, she finally understood. Oni are weak to fried beans. Patchouli only consciously realized she was supposed to use fried beans, specifically, for the coffee in her own ending, but by then, she's also realized it'd be better off used as danmaku. It is unclear if she realized that she subconsciously drank coffee all along as a preventative measure to oni. It is unknown why Patchouli developed this wariness towards the oni. Patchouli's relatively young age makes this even more mysterious. Yuyuko Saigyouji Yuyuko might have known Suika before Suika went underground, as she describes the mist in Immaterial and Missing Power to Patchouli Knowledge as nostalgic in Patchouli's story, even though she isn't sure what it is. When Yuyuko meets Suika in her own story, she disappointingly says that she had hoped to find a good memory but ended up finding a little demon instead, and the two proceed to insult each other very harshly. Although the double-speak and metaphors aren't completely clear, this could imply that Yuyuko knew Suika from long ago, and the two did not get along.Yuugi Hoshiguma Suika and Yuugi were two of the four devas of the mountain, and are very good friends, although it's been a while since they've actually seen each other before Subterranean Animism. It is unknown if they've seen each other after those events, either. Of course, their reunion during that time was not in person, but instead Suika watching Yuugi through a TV screen and talking to her using Yukari's cell phone. Suika hopes the four of them can go mountain climbing again, some day. Yamame Kurodani, Parsee Mizuhashi, Satori Komeji, Rin Kaenbyou, Utsuho Reiuji, and Koishi Komeiji These are various denizens of the underground that Suika got to see in Subterranean Animism. Of the six, Suika has never met Yamame, Rin, or Utsuho personally (or at least gotten to know them personally), but is familiar with their species. She knows Parsee, but to her, Parsee is just some lowly youkai that guards a bridge. She knows Satori, but like everyone else, stays away from her because she dislikes having her mind read. She also knows Satori's sister Koishi, to whom she is a bit warmer, inviting her to come play the next time Koishi goes above ground. She believes Koishi's ability to read the subconscious compensates for Satori's weakness in a fight, indicating she may have gotten into battles or duels with the sisters before (probably playful, but maybe not). Kasen Ibaraki Their relationship is yet not revealed, but because Kasen was undoubtedly trying to avoid Suika as possible in the Wild and Horned Hermit, their connection should not be light.
