Touhou Characters' Element Debate
(1/14) > >>
shinyjam:
*Please explain your reasoning instead of listing it out*
*We are trying to discover what's the character's preference instead of what she know/have*
Base on the canon 7 elements fire, water, wood, earth, metal, sun, and moon. Debate which girl belong in which element(s)!

Element Description
Element in this Wu Xing system DOES NOT conflict each other, instead work with each other in harmony to create this world.

Wood: The growing of the matter, or the matter's growing stage.
+Water engenders Wood
-Wood begets Fire
Metal: The decline of the matter, or the matter's decline stage.
+Metal controls wood
-Metal is controlled by fire
Fire: The prosper of the matter, or the matter's prosper stage.
+Fire defeats Metal
+Water defeats Fire
Water: The low point of the matter, or the matter's dying or hiding stage.
+Water spawns wood
-Spawned by metal

Earth: The changing point of the matter.
Earth generally contains all elements including Fire, Water, Wood and Metal. (Mid/balance point of all five element)

Sun and Moon is not in the system, but it does represent by Ying and Yang system, which also work like the Earth above that govern everything include earth.

*Doesn't mean Earth, sun, and moon is more powerful than other*

This post will update all the current conclusion in alphabetic order.
--------------------------------------------------
Alice Margatroid - Metal + Fire
Fujiwara no Mokou - Fire
Iku Nagae - Wood + Sun
Kanako Yasaka - Water
Marisa Kirisame - Sun + Fire

--------------------------------------------------

This is a seriously discussion where I hope each girl has a pageful of debate unless is very obvious or lots of supporting facts.

Should we take into account of the personality/nature, spellcard name, spell visual, etc.

Also feel free to clarify what the element is, for example moon would be darkness, etc.
Alice:
Patchouli and Alice have all elements.
shinyjam:
I notice that, but I believe all magician start with understanding all element and pick the element(s) they prefer to master in.

In Merisa case, she prefer Light and Heat magic.

I think Patchouli prefer darkness and combine it with the rest of 5 elements. I guessed that based on her fondness to darkness, she always locked herself in underground library.

For Alice, I guessed she prefer Metal and Fire. Her dolls attack in SWR use sharp metallic weapons and she can make her dolls explode too.

Haven't research enough on Patchouli to argue with that, but it's possible she keep it underground just because it will preserve the books better or other reasons.

For Alice, what do you think about wood element? Her doll probably made of wood too...and what her doll holding doesn't necessary reflect her element. Can't argue with doll exploding though. XD
