This needs to become a thing.

First Flandre, probably because she was the first I knew, a month later it became Sakuya.

Because y'know, time stopping, and knives, and skeleton pocket watches, and serving someone.

Can you remember how many times you've eaten bread?
Because I seriously can't.

All joking and shoutouts aside, it all started with Flan, then Remi became a #1 favorite due to the bizarre commonalities I share with several common fan interpretations of her. (Hammy? Check! Has their own set of Morals that just conveniently happen to fit with both human and demon morals? Check! Is active no matter what time of day? Check!)
Then when SA rolled around, Okuu and Satori came into the fray.
Flash-forward to the present day, and it's now a 6-Way Free-For-All between Remi, Flan, Okuu, Satori, Momiji....and Rumia.
All joking aside, Rumia's one of the ones on my list these days.

Once a Reimu, always a Reimu.

Actually I've been mooring over here since PC-98!

Wait, did you actually get into Touhou during the PC-98 era?

5th Yuyuko -> 4th Koishi -> 3rd Yukari -> 2nd Byakuren -> 1st Youmu.

I don't give the reasons why I like these characters except Youmu.

Youmu is my all time favorite Touhou character. The reason why she is my all time favorite Touhou character is because she is so adorable when she get scared from ghosts (even though she is a half human and half phantom). I really want to hug her!

We've all gone through the favorite-character thread that pops up every now and then. But has your favorite character been always the same?
Do you expect yourself to change favorites frequently, or do you consider yourself a loyal fan to one Touhou?
Have you ever struggled between two characters to decide which is your favorite?
Can you even choose one single character?

To be honest I don't have a favourite character but multiples of them because I prefer to "treat" the characters as "respected ones" based on their canon profiles. Though oddly enough I would probably go with Remilia because of her theme fitting her appearance in EosD and canonic profile.

Expecting to change? Not really. EosD is pretty old and solid and I don't really sway.

Never struggled between choices. Even when the new characters appeared and I had a sense of like, I would add them to my pool of "respected ones".

Contrary to what people may think, Rumia is not my favorite character. She's just an interesting one.

Initially it was Sanae, and then Kogasa. As of right now, however, it's Shinki, probably because of the characterization and personality I gave her in Rumia Quest more than anything.

Seiga is a close second.

Seravy · « **Reply #69 on:** December 09, 2012, 04:02:13 PM »

At first my favorites were Yuyuko and Patchouli, now my #1 is Reimu and I don't expect that to change. Yuyuko and Patchy still take the second and third place, but now there are a lot more characters I like, enough to fill a top 10 with Flandre, Cirno, Remila, Nitori, Tenshi, Suika and Orin, and the list keeps growing, the latest addition would be Byakuren.
Other changes would include Youmu falling from the "like" group into the neutrals, and Alice and Marisa coming up from the "don't like" group into the neutrals.

Since I started playing Touhou and getting into the fandom, my top 6 favorite Touhous have been rigidly the same (with the top 3 never having changed - 4th 5th and 6th positions changed like once, when I found Sakuya to be more favorable than Yuuka in terms of characterization)

#1 Yukari #2 Yuyuko #3 Youmu #4 Sakuya #5 Utsuho #6 Yuuka

I guess I like the PCB crew because I like their characterization - Yukari's pretty badass, Yuyuko's cute, and Youmu's cuddly :3 Yukari's personality seems to quite match up with mine in some ways ehehehe.

It seems like the more I get into the fandom, the more rigid the list of my favorite characters seem to grow. Reisen and Sanae used to move around pretty wildly when I did the Touhou sorter, but in the past few months they somehow always land exactly on 7th and 8th positions. Same thing is currently happening to Marisa and Tenshi for the 9th and 10th places on my list. I wonder if this will become my complete top 10 list that will never change.

Jq1790 · « **Reply #71 on:** December 10, 2012, 03:10:30 PM »

How many times has my favorite changed? Not even once. Ever since I encountered the loveable half-phantom it's always been her at the top. I like other characters too, but she's far and away always been the favorite among them. I have a thing for swords, see, and short hair, and I often like the appearance of game characters with short silver/white hair a lot.

Also she's all devoted to her cause and stuff ,even if she ends up being sort of silly about things at times.

So yeah. Never changed the top, but sometimes my other high slots fluctuate between Reimu, Satori, Nue, Cirno, uh...I thought there were more super high up ones, but I guess not for now. Oh well. (Most of my likings of them are based on their appearances, but I do find parts of ttheir personalities interesting as well.)

Vael · « **Reply #72 on:** December 11, 2012, 12:15:12 PM »

Never have and I suspect, never will.

I like ALL Touhou Characters because of everything they do and seem to be. All their quirks, their philosophies, the over the topness that is their lives...everything about them just does not allow me to hate them. However, I have only four true favorites.

Hakurei Reimu, Lady Yakumo Yukari, Yakumo Ran, and Yakumo Chen.

I still don't know what is about them that attracts me to the Border Keepers, maybe it's a shallow reason like their powers and how they casually flaunt them, or maybe because Miko, Demon Queen, Foxgirl, and Loli Catgirl, hell maybe the way they are all so "my pace" in their own ways. They are undeniably my favorites.

As a note this may explain why I love IN so much, I get three of my favorite characters in one!

Phlegeth · « **Reply #73 on:** December 11, 2012, 01:35:35 PM »

No, well maybe, depends really. Way back, when I first started playing (IN and SWR) I liked Youmu. Then I started playing some more, I started using Marisa more and also started getting into the fandom and Marisa just skyrocketed ahead and there's just no passing her. Even Yorihime, who usurped Tewi from second place, has no chance of passing Marisa.

Or PCB, SWR, and Soku because they have all four of them lol

Straielst · « **Reply #75 on:** December 12, 2012, 05:02:28 AM »

I have a few favorites, most of them haven't received any change; lack of appearances.
Kasen however hasn't necessarily changed, but, more about her is continually revealed it seems.
Sakuya has though, her ending in PoFV was perhaps her most significant change; she's become kinder and 'warmer' since her first appearance.

Aurora Pteriforever Dash · « **Reply #76 on:** December 12, 2012, 08:15:16 AM »

Well, at first I liked Reimu because she moves at a comfortably slow speed, then Patchy for her awesome theme music. Now I like Youmu because... just because.

*grins*

Well, there's that...PCB is always a freakin' joy to play, the second-best one in my opinion, but IN brought the whole two characters in one style play, each member with their own strengths and weaknesses, something I honestly can't remember seeing in any other scroll shooter I've played before. The fact each of the teams were epic in their own rights was a bonus for this one, and while Yuyuko and Youmu no doubt had the best conversations, Reimu and Yukari's chilled personas up to the end just won me over to their side.....

Welp, I'm out, got an unruly Eternal Princess to scold.

Imosa · « **Reply #79 on:** December 18, 2012, 02:59:50 AM »

So I started out liking Okuu but then realized her character design was too busy. Wings, cape, and long hair just didn't work. Then I found tenshi, who is fucking awesome for fucking tons of reasons. I've dabbled with Aya because shes got the whole investigative persona... which I wish I had. I'm trying to make Komachi my favorite because she has such a boss power. Finally there is Kiene who is a teacher, the best of all the jobs. However, in the end I always come back to Tenshi, looks great, fights great, great attitude, best hat (although Kiene jokies for 1st place there).

Gensokyo Dreadnought · « **Reply #80 on:** December 29, 2012, 10:14:43 PM »

To be honest I don't exactly remember, but I do exactly remember how many characters have stayed at the top for a long time.

The first was Cirno. She was my favourite for a very, very long time, to the point that people call me Cirno because I always wanted to be associated to her.

Next comes... Reimu I believe. She held for quite some time, but I believe she was the shortest of all. I liked how people portrayed her as a realistic miko trying to live within realistic means and has a realistic approach when it comes to bickering, daily life and events. Not as a bumbling poverty-stricken miko that can't hold her balance when a bag of coins unexpectedly ninja'd into her panties (although that's funny in some cases).

Then it came to Yuyuko. Oh I only loved her because she had the tragic background and fanon liked to change her tits frequently, but none of that below D cup. Also, pink hair ftw.

Finally, the (2nd) longest reigning one (next to Cirno) is Shikieiki Yamaxanadu. Now I like Eiki for her power of judgement. I don't look at her much for the beauty but what authority she has. It seems pretty cool and pretty fearful that one person could hold such an incredible power such as hers. I see her as an authority of respect, but sometimes I like to imagine her as that tsundere loli that has a problem keeping her mouth shut (Oh you, IOSYS).

Currently, the number 1 on the top is well... Koishi. She became top 1 because I imagined just how sad is Koishi's past of wandering all over the place. I wish I could know more though, but time is not on my side.

Bias Bus · « **Reply #81 on:** December 29, 2012, 10:24:26 PM »

My top favorite always was and always will be Shinki. That has remained a constant for the years I've been associated with Touhou.

However, I have 'added' other favored characters over the years, ranging from Luize, Rikako, Meiling, Letty, Keine, Nitori, Yamame and Yuugi. I go through phases where I really like such and such Touhou but, that interest usually fades after a while, if I obsess over them enough, then they'll get added to the list of favored characters. However, Shinki remains at the top of all else.

My favourites have changed a lot and I don't really keep track. My current favourite should be obvious.

Koishi is now supposedly mindless and everyone takes a dump on Byakuren for the SOPM interview.

On the other hand, I did write Miko as being hopelessly in love with Byakuren. Now I just write her as thinking playing hard to get is a swell idea. :V

Mine has not changed. It started as Youmu. It's still Youmu. 2nd favorite has recently changed from Suwako to Yuyuko though.

From the womb to the tomb! YOUMUNERDS!

On a more interesting note, after playing UFO I found Kogasa adorable and she got put 4th on my list but Nue got to me. Something about her having changed from evil to (trying to be) good touched me.

Totaku · « **Reply #85 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:12:46 PM »

My favorite? Well to be honest, it only changed once.

My favorite from long ago was Kaguya. She has a rather nice and fantascitic design going on for her. And I was also fasincated with the Lunarians in general back then. I wanted to know more about them, wanted t understand them.

Then ZUN answered it with Silent Sinner. In which I learned that the moon folks were pretty much elitist jerks who saw themselves as the master race and saw the earth folk as scum.

Boy was I glad to know Kaguya and Eirin pretty much escaped from a life of elitiest, even though they were were pretty stuck up in general (but that was part of thier charm)

Course afterward Kaguya's status slowly sank even though I remained attached to her... Keine was slowly catching my interest but before she could take over TD came out and then I found my new interest.

Seiga Kaku

Now why would I take such interest in a wicked hermit? Well to be honest, it's pretty similar to the case of Lunarians, but Seiga's a "special case" especially after the general information about them was revealed.

But yeah for starters, I'm interested in the hermits in general. Second, it's because I'm actually drawn to characters that are considered "evil" which Seiga has been pegged this many times. She's probably the closest thing we gotten to what we can call an "evil character" though how far this will go remains unknown ATM. Finally, she comes across as an older character in my book when you consider the time she spent being a human before going hermit (not counting the 1500+ years she's lived as a hermit) But more or less I'm more curious about her in general since I want to see how ZUN pulls off an "evil character" in his works (she's pretty much getting enough attention to be deemed notable at least in the current arc)

Sure there have been characters that have been seen as evil before, but they are mostly natural at best. So yeah maybe I'm taking a gamble, but I think she might be worth it. She's already done enough things to be marked "potentially evil" but I'm just waiting for that special icing on the cake that I'm hoping to see happen. (

Spoiler:

)

But yeah, there's alot we know, but alot we don't know about her which I'm just waiting in anticipation. Guess only time will tell if she'll stick with me over the years.

For a brief while I didn't have a favourite character even though I was introduced to Touhou by a video about EoSD extra stage(Patchouli and Flandre),though before that I already saw Sakuya and Remilia chars on Mugen :3, but just a list of very interesting characters among the just as interesting rest of the cast. Then after a bit Remilia caught my eye, became and was confirmed my all-time favorite with Aya,after reading Bohemian Archive,my steady 2nd.I have of course other favorites(Parsee,Flandre,Yuugi,Yukari,Patchouli ,etc. )but their positions ,even if not prone to sudden shifts,aren't fixed.

Ahaha.... so many times...

Reisen > Aya > Sakuya > Komachi > Reisen > Utsuho > Flandre > Yomu >Yukari > Reisen

Currently though, it's in a four way tie between Tenshi, Yuyuko, Shinki, and Shikieiki.
