Name: Heal de Garde ('Wandering Vassal of Eternal Loyalty')
Youkai type: Tsukumogami (Suit of Armor)
Gender: Female
Touhou character: Byakuren Hijiri
Appearance: A black suit of
armor with golden cross patterns all over it, including the visor, and red crosses by her shin guards. All there ever was revealed underneath it is her golden eyes, matching the visor of her helmet complemented by her sweet-looking face.
Personality: Rather a stereotypical knight-like figure, very loyal. She will do whatever she can to fulfill whatever her (designated) 'lord'
(or whatever title he/she prefers) asks her to do. Should her 'lord' die, she will faint and after several hours will wake up to find a new one. Preferring ones who are 'good', she might just follow anyone should she fall desperate. She has difficulties exercising her free will.

Background: A decorated piece of armor owned by a knight's family from the outside, hidden. It was cherished, played with the two kids, worn by the father when hunting or fending off youkai and served a noble purpose. It didn't stay that way though, after a month they were discovered by villagers. They helped the family move in the village, bringing with them everything but this, as it was too much of a burden to carry. A generation passed, the old shack is now a dilapidated ruin with no roof and little of the wall remaining. Eventually the suit of armor now gained sentience and clumsily walks out of the bare staircase from the plant-ridden basement looking for a new 'lord' as now her first ones has passed. She bears no ill-will against them, for she already served her purpose to them and now seeks to serve another.
Location: Great Youkai Forest
Other: Her ability is a modified form of the
Royal Guard Style which incorporates fancy stances and coating herself in a crystalline glass-like material, soaking in raw force and can unleash it in a blinding flash of light and a force that sends the target hurtling towards the walls(if massed enough) or through 'spiking'/manifesting it into sizable objects. She has two types of energies, the kinetic force she absorbs and returns, and her normal stamina. Sadly, exhausting the latter will render the former depleted and incapable of regaining more. She can also soak in force through the object she manifested acting as a shield, but while she is focusing on it, she isn't capable of covering herself as a trade-off, thus when she is defending objectives more than she can cover with her body
(resorting to a large barrier), a strong blow from behind will at least 'break' her stance. She only has a few options in danmaku, either shattering a chunk of it into 'barrier fragments' or by spawning a large shape and launching it with a firm strike, which commonly drains her of her 'reserve' if done repeatedly. Despite of her flaws, she is a formidable opponent especially to melee specialists.
Anyway do we have to abide by a timezone?
