CHARACTERS: Alesandro, Almaz
CHARACTER NAME: Komachi Onozuka
FANDOM: Touhou Project
CANON: During recent events Oriental Sacred Place (Which seems to take place at current game canon)
WHAT THEY LOST: Her immortality. As a shinigami she is generally outside the life and death cycle (like the yama are), and can't be killed. So, with losing her immortality she can be killed by others.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER:
Komachi is a shinigami that works as a ferryman under Shiki Eiki. She's a pretty laid back worker and practices the philosophy of "working at your own pace". Generally this is acceptable of ferrymen, and why they aim to work at the job. But Komachi's idea of her own pace is far from a good work ethic. she takes more breaks than works. Yet, when she does work, or puts her mind to do something, she's really good at it. So despite that she is a rather less than stellar employee, she has yet to be fired, though she has been disciplined much.
Komachi spends a lot of time alone and with the recently deceased, due to this she tends to think a lot, and talk a lot either to herself, or to anyone who will listen. Unlike her boss who lectures, Komachi is more philosophical and conversational in her talking. Even though sometimes it's more a one sided conversation. Since she spends a lot of time taking to souls, when she's around people she tends to try and start conversations and hang out. This is usually when she's suppose to be working, and leads to either the other characters telling her to go back to work, or her getting in trouble when she does finally go back on her own.
Whenever people come near the Sanzu River she will try and stop them, either though talk or attacking them. This isn't through malice though, she is genuinely worried they are trying to commit suicide, as any living person who tries to cross the river will be dead when they get to the other side. She doesn't want them to die, so tries her best to deter them. Of course, most the time the people aren't trying to cross the river, and are in no way suicidal, she won't let her assumption go though.
Despite Komachi's slacker nature, she is still a force to be reckoned with, she's rather strong, and intelligent, though her laid back personality doesn't always give that impression. When she wants to she is incredibly capable, and when she focuses on something she is rather persistent. When she gets her act together, she is quite exemplary.
In Phantasmagoria of Flower View we first meet her when the player character reaches the 5th stage, she's found sleeping unaware of the current issue, which is her lack of work has caused the souls to build up and possess flowers causing them all to bloom out of season. When she discoveries this she tries to hurry off to quickly take care of it, else get in trouble, but she is stopped and a battle is started. Later, her boss Eiki shows up and lectures her and the player moves on to Eiki. After those events, in the extra stage Komachi is taking a break from clearing out the back load of souls and decides to go around and talk to people and see if the flowers are getting better. Whenever she runs into someone who she met during the first part of the game, they tell her to go back to work and attack her. Finally at the end she runs into Eiki who tells her she lacks in needs. Since ferrymen make money based on the worth of a soul, she would have more money if she ferried good people and ferried more souls in general. Instead she tells Eiki that good people don't have as interesting stories, indicating that she's mostly chatting.
In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Komachi, due to a lack of souls about she decides to go off and kill some time. She's devised a way to understand a persons soul before they die, based on the weather she encounters when running into them. She's rather accurate in her assessments, and finally when she's done with Reimu she decides to go back to work. This is when Tenshi comes and attacks her for being a shinigami. Despite having spent the entire game slacking off, she becomes quite serious with Tenshi, as Tenshi had been misusing souls, which made her job difficult, and is simply wrong.
FIRST-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE:
This place isn't so bad, I don't mind sleeping in and getting room service. This is a lot nicer than just hanging out at Muenzuka, not that I don't enjoy that place on a good spring day. But, it's kind of funny isn't it? Ghost servants and this magic book. The ghosts aren't even very interesting, nothing to talk about, I thought maybe they might be more like those from Hakugyokurou, but they're more like the souls I carry over to their judgment. That doesn't make for good conversation at all.
So, the way I see it other people have these books too, right? I can see all sorts of conversations going on, so tell me, where are all of you from?
INTENT: Komachi is a pretty interesting character, and she's really personable while being a calm and laid back person. I also wanted to boost the growing Touhou cast.
