Music: Determination in the Chest

Youmu Konpaku
Personality: Strong-willed (Hit: +1, Kill: +4, Get Hit: +1, Ally Killed: +1, Graze: +1)
Character Skill: Parry
Personal Skills: Sword Arm (+50% to Parry activation rate at 130+ Power), Ghostly Wheel of Pain (gain the ability Ghost Half, basically just Double Image), Lotus Stance Cut (Focused Move -1, Damage +10%)
Spirits: Accel, Spirit, Focus, Strike

Youmu is finally back, and she's gotten way better. She's still essentially a physical, close range Marisa, but she's more survivable now thanks to starting with Berserk 6 and some tweaked personal skills. Her movelist has expanded to the size of the other protagonists, so now she has much better post-movement attacks, an actually long-ranged move, and (for now) a MAP. A Single Thought and the Infinite Kalpas is also by default the single strongest attack in the game, though Marisa will still do more damage because of Valor. MP Save and more plentiful upgrades help her just as much they helped Marisa, too. Her main problem now is that she still has to close in to really be effective, and while she's more durable now she's still not a tank. Thankfully, FMW3 fixed that with the perfect partner... 80% of the way through the game.
Hilariously, you can't actually hear Youmu's new player theme without messing around with the music settings. Chapters 33 and 34 have unique map themes that override everything else, and of course there are boss themes.

All Attacks
FMW E battle theme: Lightsword Flash (Ancient Temple)
Boss theme: As Decisive as a Battlefield (Hiroari Shoots a Strange Bird)
FMW P battle theme: Lightsword Flash [ver.P] (Ancient Temple)

...They've gone past the light. Waiting for them among a sea of cherry blossoms is the lady of the White Jade Belvedere, Yuyuko Saigyouji. Her dearest wish is to invite death. When she clashes with the strong wills of Reimu and the others, a decisive battle with Gensokyo's spring at stake begins.

What could be her reason for gathering spring and attempting to revive the Saigyo Ayakashi?

Now then, please have fun playing Chapter 33 of Fantasy Maiden Wars P: "Perfect Blackened Cherry Blossom"!
