Back story
"Come on, stop it, I'm really a yousei! What do you mean i'm too smart...I'm not all that smart!"
Hermeli thinks she is a fairy...She believes she is a new aspect of nature, albeit one simply introduced by humans years and years ago. It cant be any further from the truth though, as she is actually a Tsukumogami, a spirit youkai that inhabited a Swiss army knife that was lost hundreds of years ago....But the curious thing about her is her resilience in that regard. Most Tsukumogami end up being a youkai that has to carry the object with them. She, oddly enough, is a transformed object itself.
Many in Gensokyo, especially those who are constantly in battle with the actual yousei, believe this is the prank of a certain mischief-causing youkai, as she is just as invulnerable as the others, but has a brain in her head...and a rather wicked ability when it comes to danmaku.
Physiology
She, for all intents...looks like a yousei...and at first glance, one might even mistake her for one of them, but anyone getting closer will see the obvious changes in her, not to mention will learn a few things the hard way.
As pictured above, her 'wings' are actually the blades in the former knife she was, though they work perfectly as wings, further cementing her as a very powerful magic being. but the more curious things become apparent if you can actually get a chance to examine her more closely.
Firstly, her hair, though soft as silk, has an oddly metallic feeling to it. That becomes more apparent if you managed to get a strand of her hair, you'll find that it -is- metal..very thin, but amazingly sharp and strong metal that can cut through most anything, though she does not appear to know of this fact, even though a few times she has shook her hair out, she has cut down a tree or two in the process.
The most interesting thing about her physiology is the fact she is immortal, though not Yousei immortal. She doesn't explode and simply return back to normal after five minutes...no, she has immortality more consistent with a drinker of the hourai elixir. Able to feel pain, but can never be completely killed.
Personality
Again, the mistaking of a yousei can be easily found. She has a very devil-may-care personality, not really paying too much attention to what goes around her, causing mischief whenever she can manage it, and almost childish at times.
Key word, Childish.
Get her serious, and she will act serious. She is still very much a fully -adult- youkai in terms of her intelligence, and can be quite crafty if given the chance to be. She's also fiercely protective of Yousei and will, if she sees someone abusing them, flat out go out of her way to make their life a living hell for a few days.
Curiously, a lot of the yousei have begun to see her as a sort of 'mother figure' in that regard, and even they seem to believe she is a yousei also, despite the obvious facts...Noone ever said the yousei were smart, people.
Abilities
Manipulation of bladed weapons: Yes, she can take your sword from you and cut you with it, but this also applies to the formation of her danmaku. She can make anything from spears, to axes, to swords, to things you couldn't even dream was a weapon. Curiously, she has a very fine knowledge of bladed implements, though that was more because she had stolen a book from the Scarlet Devil Mansion's library then anything.
Flight: She can fly, with those wings. Don't think too hard about it, its magic.
Heavy body: She is disproportionately heavy to what people believe her to be....basically, she can kick a tree down if she wants to, and don't try to pick her up, you'll probably hurt yourself...
Spell Cards
Typical danmaku patterns of hers are actually very straight lined, sending out waves of swords and spears that fire out at different speeds, but in perfect parallel lines, either vertically, horizontally, or in a criss cross pattern.
Blade sign [Pendulum Torture]
Not all blades are used in battle. Having read about this medieval torture device. She sends out the normal sword danmaku, but every so often, she will swing her arms and a huge pendulum blade will swing across the battlefield, cutting part of her opponent's area away from use for a few seconds as it cuts back and forth.
Blade sign [Sharpened wings]
Hermeli loves to get into the thick of it, preferring far more to be up close and personal in a battle. With her hands held out, she begins to literally begin chasing after her opponent across the entire battlefield, sending out x patterns of blades appearing to come from her wings.
Metal sign [Flat-edge reflection]
Using the flats of blades, she fires out sword horizontally across the battlefield, reflecting any shots that hit them back to her opponent, trying to both cause her opponent to have to move a lot, boxing her foe with the blades, while forcing them to have to time everything perfectly. Mistakes become costly as more blades flood the battlefield
Blade sign [Judgement]
Taught to her carelessly by Sanae Kochiya, a move learned watching her play a video game. She raises bladed weapons of all kinds up into the air, sending them rapidly descending downward from the top of the screen down. impossible to predict, as blades of all shapes and sizes come down, starting slow, but rapidly falling.
