You ever notice that, asides from the fairies, there are a lot of bird-like youkai that appear in Touhou?

ZUN loves wings. Problem?

Perfectly reasonable, birds are pretty.

8.5 gods (Shinki, Shizuha, Minoriko, Hina, Suwako, Kanako, Sanae, Utsuho/Yatagarasu, The Giant Catfish/Taisui Xingjun; Kikuri, maybe, but not counted)
7 magicians (Marisa, Yuki, Mai, Ellen are "witches"; Patchouli, Alice, Byakuren are "magicians")
5/6: Cirno, Daiyousei, Lily White/Lily Black, Sunny, Luna, Star
4 birds (Mystia, Aya, Utsuho, Tokiko; Mokou if you buy into that Phoenix theory)
4 poltergeists (Lyrica, Merlin, Lunasa,
3 vampires (Remilia, Flandre, Kurumi)
2 shrine maidens (Reimu, Sanae)
2 insect youkai (Yamame, Wriggle)
2 shikigami (Ran, Chen)
2 cat youkai (Chen, Rin)
2 oni (Suika, Yuugi)
2 satori (Satori, Koishi, though the latter doesn't work anymore)
2 immortals (Kaguya, Mokou; Eirin is suspect, but not stated)
2 ??? (Meiling, Orange)

*Elis was excluded from this count but could add to one or more of these groups: magicians, vampires

What? Sanae is a god? Isn't she just a miko?

>> No.3528864

Well she is a descendant of a God, I'm pretty sure that is hereditary

I guess Gensokyo has to put her on a cross before she can unveil and use her full power

Sanae is not a god. Utsuho isn't as well, she assimilated the god, but she isn't one.

Shrine maidens? That's a weird category. They are humans as well as Marisa. Magicians are born not made.

Yeah, but they're all pretty much forgettable obstacles on the way to the end of stage fight. Unless they start becoming AscendedExtras like Daiyousei.

Directly from her official Mountain of Faith profile:

"A Human of the Wind Deified
Sanae Kotiya

Species: Human
Occupation: Wind Priestess
Special Ability: Power to cause miracles to occur.

A human privy to secrets handed down through the generations.
She has a very straightforward personality, so she has a lot of confidence in her own abilities.
Sometimes, perhaps a bit too much confidence."

>> No.3528952

Pretty sure she was described as a god several times in her Hissoutensoku path and ending. Not just by herself.

>> No.3528954

>>3528946
Even so, I doubt she would have much trouble getting Suwako and Kanako make her a goddes, though then they'd need a new shrine maiden

>> No.3528960

>>3528946
Yeah? Also from the profile
>In addition, as keepers of secrets,When she was young, they began to accrue faith and be treated as gods, even though they were humans. They became living gods.
>Sanae had mastered the secrets to call upon miracles that had been passed down through her family. A young girl that could call upon the power of miracles would certainly collect great amounts of faith --- one would expect.
She's quite proud of this and mentions it constantly.

Mima is the only serious contender, really. But odds are that it is a new character that hasn't been introduced yet.

Actually, ==. You get faith, you get god powers, you become god, simple as that.

According to Akyuu's article. Alice herself has already disproven much of it (althought not that particular part).
