I like Urumi, because she's memorable, mainly because of the fact that ZUN drawn her with a stack, which is unthinkable for him, thanks to her horns, not many of them do have them. Also yeah, the characters these days are rather, not really different from each other, I guess having a consistent artstyle does that, I dunno. I also wouldn't put her rather high in my list, but that doesn't mean I hate her. She's still a neat cowe.

The best of the moonies with actual speaking roles Day 9: Yorihime Yorihime is like Toyo but cooler. Better personality, better design, not as violently racist, and a cool ability. However, she’s definitely a character dragged down by her location being the moon, which just makes her lore annoying to see all the purity stuff that honestly annoys me a lot. She’s a great example of a character who could be good if we had her not be on the moon and instead somewhere else. Overall, a character with potential dragged down by lunarians having a terrible personality quirk.

Oh hey, a cow! She drowns people! Day 8: Urumi Ushizaki Urumi is definitely a character that could do more. She a Rumia-adjacent character, which I describe as a character whose role is to remind people that there are a lot of deadly youkai around, and Urumi functionally does it well. The problem is everything else, where she’s a boring personality and not too interesting. The only detail I have for her is that she does a lot of fishing, which is like nothing to go on. A huge problem with a lot of newer touhou characters is that they aren’t standout, which is why characters like Keiki are special because they actually have more than just lore or just personality, and that’s going to be an issue for most new characters until they show up in books for more than a cameo. Overall though, Urumi is a character with a role and nothing else. Her design isn’t even good.
