--- Quote from: Alice on May 05, 2009, 04:43:47 AM ---If I look at her dolls (Shanghai and Hourai), there is no way her doll made from wood. Beside, Alice's dolls didn't hold anything instead, their weapons are materialized from Alice magic energy.

in SA, Alice's dolls do contain gunpowder: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Subterranean_Animism:_Marisa_and_Alice%27s_Scenario#Stage_5
(in b4 Miss Marisa! Look! I'm shooting! I'm..)
my guess:
- Yuka = wood+sun (sun, because of the attacks involving lasers; though there's an unused ending theme for LLS, Crescent Dream, so, it could be moon instead)
- Suwako = earth+water+metal (she can produce earth, has a Fountain of Math sc and an iron ring sc)
- Kanako = wind+water (she can create sky, is a goddess of wind and rain)
there are also other elements or systems here, for those who may be interested:

Dan-Heron:
I always thought Marisa used Moon, Sun and Star as her elements. Doesn't her spellcircle uses those symbols?
Also, from Meiling's stronger cards, I'd think she'd be water elemental. Typhoon and Rain
I also think Darkness should be related to Moon. Rumia's powers become null at moonless nights, right?
Aya Reiko:
Cirno - Water
Patchy - All
Sakuya - Metal
Remilia - Moon
Youmu - Metal
Tei - Wood
Reisen - Moon
Kaguya - Moon
Mokou - Fire
Yuka - Earth, Wood
Komachi - Metal
Iku - Wood (Lightning is associated with Wood. See also: Sailor Jupiter)
Tenshi - Earth

I think ending theme have nothing to do with it. :p
I guess laser = sun then.

--- End quote ---
Have to agree with the goddess of earth, but metal just happens to be inside the earth, not sure about water and she did lost to kanako(water) . Not sure how she able to control Mishaguji(dark) though.
Edit: Ah her ancient war story she use metal weapon which rusted by Kanoko, I guess she can bring out of lot metal or something.

Not sure where to put wind, water is noted.

It pretty much can be anything at this rate, although I prefer to follow the system of Touhou, but if everyone think I should add new stuff, I am fine with it.
--- Quote from: Albel on May 05, 2009, 05:50:59 PM ---Iku is an obvious one, since she only has lightning based attacks, her element is the lightning.

k, I will add it until someone have better facts.
--- Quote ---Tenshi's power is the "manipulation of land", so she belongs to the earth category, Mokou is burning like hell so she's a fire one.
--- End quote ---
Agree
--- Quote ---Yuka... maybe wood, she's the flower master of the four seasons, and because of her powers she's almost like the embodiement of nature.
--- End quote ---
I will go with wood, since it represent growth.
Drake:
I think these classifications are being based entirely on the character's abilities.
