These old characters had minimal screen time. Mai and Yuki appear in just a single fight, but their dynamic is clearly established in it, and to their fans it is what makes them memorable. Still, the limited storytelling format leaves room for interpretation.
(Over the coming years, I have gained an incredible amount of respect and love for Elis. She is most definitely my favourite PC98 exclusive character, after the fire & ice duo, of course.)
❄️Mai❄️but i drew her like so!!! anyway, I love how PC98 charas just transform all the time, grow devil wings, change their whole outfit and power up! it feels so cool how Mai changes from angel to devil wings!
(But it's not as if change is possible. Too many good memories stuck for that, even if in retrospect some stuff written by younger me is of questionable quality, to say the least. The heart had been there though, even if the mind wasn't always.)
(At the time of this account's creation, multi-musing under a single profile was a novelty in the touhou sphere. The purpose was to share the story of the witches to a wider audience, as i felt their lack of representation to be criminal.)
(Nowadays, others carry the torch, so that has changed. And I wonder if I would've had more motivation to write had I only chosen 1 demon {likely Mai}. I question how effective it'd be to keep doing both characters simultaneously in a hypothetical where I become active.)
