What age are you? Describe yourself a little, perhaps add details beyond what we see in the concept art.
Being a tatsu, TranceHime has actually been around for over two hundred years. Definitely not as old as some of the Touhou youkai you are all familiar with, but definitely older than your typical person (TranceHime claims to be 252 years old). It's been known that TranceHime wears somewhat regal attire, so it begs the question of her lineage, it seems that though she conceals her history and treats herself as a mendicant, she is actually a princess of a faraway land.
The crown diadem she wears on her head appears Western, but actually is supposed to house TranceHime's trump card, the Hexalung Diadem (六龍宝玉), which is rumoured to house six legendary swords by hammerspace means. Actually, the Hexalung Diadem is at present empty bar one because someone stole them all except the single one the thief probably thought looked worthless. The said sword is the Fenris. This is one of the reasons why TranceHime is wandering the land, in search of information of her lost, remaining five blades.
They are the Caladbolg, the Wyvern Caliburn, the Ryuujintou Gram, the Cunei Claymore and the Daimetsuken Brisingamen. These weapons are all actually kinda weak despite their fancy names, mainly because they draw their power from the user. TranceHime's draconic tatsu powers were drained from her being by an otherworldly force, leaving her with her innate ability to manipulate gender. Whoever stole her powers, that is who she is searching for, as they likely have her five other swords. It is said that when TranceHime regains her powers, she attains dragon-like features.
How do you envision the everyday lives of your iji-selves?
Now being a wandering mendicant, a vagrant, TranceHime wanders towns, villages and a whole host of other places aimlessly, asking people and youkai about potential leads on who stole her weapons. It hasn't been going too well.
What do you do for a living?
Nothing, because TranceHime is a traveler on a
MISSIONWho around you are related to you? In what way?
TranceHime has some sort of bad history with Gpop, which is why although she knows Gpop has some information, she chooses to stray away. Furthermore, it appears that she has some sort of relationship with TSO, though what this relationship is is unknown by everyone. E-Mouse, Dragoshi, Sana and a bunch of others have provided as advisors and friends to TranceHime in her travels, and have proved as a great source of moral support. In actually, during the events of the Ijiyatsu game proper, it can be assumed that TranceHime accompanied Gpop because she was promised information on the location of her missing swords. During the course of Ijiyatsu, TranceHime serves as an advisor and provides words of wisdom in dialogue.
Where do you live? What sort of place is it? Who else lives in your household?
As TranceHime is a nomad, she lives in no single place at once, and usually stays with whoever is in the same lodgings as her.
What sort of person are you? How would you react to a threat? A challenge? A plea for help?
Being unseeming in nature, TranceHime uses this to her advantage in becoming a true mendicant. However, as she is a tatsu binded to human form, she still DOES have some semblance of power, and can easily deal with minor threats by using her Fenris sword. However, with her reduced power, she would much rather deal with threats by use of words or diplomacy. She is sagacious with her words and tries to help advise those who are in need. When challenged, TranceHime won't back down unless she knows she will lose badly or win an empty victory. As an unseeming mendicant, she rarely gets pleas for help nowadays, but won't refuse to help someone being attacked or being mistreated.
