>You are Sanae Kochiya, Wind Priestess of the Moriya Shrine.
>Several years ago, you moved to Gensokyo with your shrine's goddesses, Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya, due to a dwindling supply of faith in the outside world. Shortly after the move, you met your rival, Reimu Hakurei, who fought against your shrine as it attempted to monopolize all of Gensokyo's faith for itself. After the incident, tensions between the Hakurei and Moriya shrines had been somewhat alleviated.
>Some time later, your goddesses decided it would be a good idea to start some kind of industrial revolution, and promptly gave the power of a yatagarasu to a Hell Raven from the Gensokyo Underground named Utsuho Reiuji. The resulting incident led to a rapid cascade of other incidents that resulted in even more religious tension in Gensokyo, as well as a large amount of blame directed at your shrine. On the bright side, however, your shrine gained joint control of a new fusion reactor with the Underground, and became one of the few places in Gensokyo with electricity.
>After all the incident chaos, things have finally started to settle down. Conflicts between the religious groups have died down for the most part, and nothing interesting ever seems to happen much anymore...
>Until recently.
----------------------------------------------
>Recently, Gensokyo had been undergoing an unnatural, deep freeze.
>This morning you learned that your shrine's main goddess, Kanako Yasaka, has been gone for increasingly longer periods as the week went by, and now it's to the point where she's practically missing. Understandably, you and Suwako were quite worried.
>As you left your shrine this morning to investigate the incident, you came across Kogasa Tatara passed out in the snow. You took her back to your shrine where she began to warm up. You then left your shrine once more.
>You then investigated the Genbu Ravine and The Garden of the Sun, but neither location gave you any leads as to what the cause of the incident might be. On the way to the garden, you encountered a group of fairies, struggling to survive in the harsh cold. You managed to persuade them to go to your shrine.
>You then flew towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion. En route, you met Wakasagihime, the misty lake's resident ningyo, who got herself trapped in the ice at the lake surface. You decided to take the time to free her from her predicament, but it ended up with you being plunged into incredibly freezing water.
>Wakasagihime then carried you to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, where you stayed for a while to warm up (While wearing a slightly small maid's outfit, which you have yet to give back.) while she returned a tool you borrowed from a random Kappa. You then passed the time by playing a card game with Remilia, Sakuya, and Patchouli. You also learned that Sakuya hasn't found any leads, either. Eventually, Wakasagihime returned, and you played a quick game of truth or dare with her while your clothes finished drying.
>Right before you left the mansion, a massive explosion suddenly struck the Misty Lake, vaporizing a good portion of the water there. You investigated it, along with Sakuya and Wakasagihime, and found a rather mangled, but peculiar hatch of some kind on the lake bed. Unfortunately, you had no way to open it.
>You then decided to head over to The Underground and investigate the incident there. You decided to use the entrance by the Hakurei Shrine. A nasty blizzard developed on the way there, forcing you to take shelter in the Hakurei Shrine, where you learned that Reimu also has not found any leads. However, you did manage to persuade her to leave your shrine alone. For now...
>After the blizzard cleared, you went to The Underground, only to be turned away by Parsee Mizuhashi. You then flew back towards your shrine to use the elevator there. On the way you were attacked by a group of three strange magical constructs of some kind, resembling yin yang orbs surrounded by two rings of five smaller orbs.
>When you returned to your shrine, you found the same group of fairies from before, and, surprisingly, they were putting faith into your shrine. (Well, in a fairy way...) You then checked in with Suwako before attempting to try the elevator. When you got there, you found the elevator on lockdown. Forcing you to try the Hakurei Entrance once more.
>You then left your shrine, accompanied by Kogasa, who had now fully recovered from her ordeal this morning, and flew all the way back to the cavern near the Hakurei Shrine. The two of you descended, and were stopped by Parsee and an oni named Yuugi, who proceeded to battle you.
>Yuugi was about to defeat you, but you received some unlikely assistance from a mysterious youkai girl named Koishi, who promptly intervened. Koishi then took you and Kogasa to the Palace of the Earth spirits.
>Inside the Palace of the Earth spirits, you met up with Orin, and met Koishi's sister, Satori. Who looks severely burned and is bedridden. Orin then took you to the fusion reactor, where you finally found Kanako, and then learned the truth behind this incident. Kanako, Utusho, and the Kappa were running an experiment on the reactor, which went horribly wrong and created what Utsuho refers to as a "heat vacuum" which is gradually drawing all the heat out of Gensokyo. You also learned that they have been unable to shut the reactor down, and that one of their attempts put Satori in her current condition.
>You then left the Underground, with Koishi in tow, to fetch Eirin from Eientei in order to treat Satori. You were attacked once more by a group of constructs along the way.
>You then entered another blizzard once you reached the Bamboo Forest of the Lost. On the way to Eientei, you happened across Keine Kamishirasawa, who got lost in the blizzard, and had just collapsed from the cold. You carried her to Eientei.
>When you arrived in Eientei, you instructed Koishi to take Keine someplace warm, and then went to find Eirin. You have not found her yet, but you managed to find Reisen Udongein Inaba and Fujiwara no Mokou. You then informed Mokou about Keine.
>Afterwards, you had Reisen take you to Eirin. Who you were able to recruit successfully.
>As the three of you were returning, you were caught in a nasty thundersnow, and you were struck by lightning. While you were unconscious, you experienced a vision of an eldritch location, which you later learned was Genmukai, and was confronted by an angry entity resembling five grey magical orbs of some kind. It spoke of how your goddesses and shrine caused an "imbalance" or something...
>You then regained consciousness, and soon after you had to help Kogasa with a rather embarrassing predicament. However, to her credit, she actually did manage to surprise you for once.
>Afterwards, Koishi dragged you off to her room and gave you a broken staff she stole from the Hakurei Shrine. You removed the ofuda stuck to it and were instantly sent to a realm called Reimaden.
>There, you met a vengeful spirit named Mima, who had become somewhat mentally unstable from years of isolation. Together, the two of you escaped Reimaden by passing through Genmukai. After arriving back in Gensokyo, Mima joined you in your quest to resolve the incident.
>You then finally freed Kogasa from her predicament, with Mima's assistance. You then had dinner at the Palace of the Earth Spirits before departing back to the shrine with Kogasa and Mima in tow.
>Along the way, partially due to an incident involving Mima and a game of Truth or Dare, you began to realize that you had feelings for Kogasa.
>You then returned to the shrine to find that the fairies had built an igloo outside. As it's not really in the way for now, you allowed it. Inside, Suwako, filled with worry, was relieved to find you safe and sound.
>Shortly afterwords, you and Kogasa confess the way you felt about each other, and became a couple. The two of you then attempted and failed to surprise Suwako and Mima.
>That night, you began to have a pleasant, lucid dream, but it was unfortunately cut short by the same entity from before, trying to break into the Dream World. It was here that you met Mugetsu and Gengetsu, the "Gods"(?) of the Dream World, Gengetsu then forcibly ejected you from your dream.
>The next morning Reimu showed up at the door. After almost erupting into a fight with Mima, she unfortunately learned that Kanako was involved with the incident. However, she gave you one day to resolve it, and promised that nothing bad would happen to your shrine if and when she gets involved.
>You then made a plan with Mima, Kogasa, and Reimu to investigate the hatch you discovered at the Misty Lake the day before. Reimu then left to tend to her shrine, saying she would meet you at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Suwako also gave you more faith to use today before you left the shrine with Mima and Kogasa.
>You are currently right outside your shrine, talking to Mima.
>Faith: 500
>>You have enough faith to perform one large miracle, up to 5 moderate miracles, or up to 25 small miracles.
>>Extra faith beyond your daily allotment (100 Faith) will persist between days.

>"I'm practically a goddess...sort of. With faith from others, I can make miracles happen. From making flowers bloom and enhancing the effects of objects to becoming a playable character and healing injuries or temporarily changing the weather if I have a lot of faith. The whole reason we got beat up by Reimu and Marisa was because we tried to obtain all of the faith in Gensokyo."
>"Wow, and even after that, Hakurei let you live?" Mima replies, "Hell, if I ever pulled something like that, she probably would've sealed me away as soon as she could."
