Shard 12

Memory: ✿ appointed as the guardian of the Netherworld
Received: Day 156 (Yuu's Heartgame)
The Thing: ( with some names mysteriously obscured, headcanon to fill in the gaps ) Yuyuko has only been dead for around 50 years now. For a while, she merely wandered aimlessly around Gensokyo in the company of her darling youkai friend, seen before. However, she's come into contact with representatives from the Ministry of Right and Wrong a few times by now, ones who have noticed her absurdly powerful spirit control powers.

"You're the old head of the Saigyouji family, aren't you?"
"The who, now?"


(It seems she doesn't remember anything from when she was alive, although Yukari insists they're still friends. Hmm.)

In particular, one Yama named Eiki Shiki, is in charge of Gensokyo's souls. After some lengthy discussions, Eiki begins to keep an eye on her and--well, it would be convenient if this were a nice, short process, but it's not. There's a metric ton of paperwork and trial periods involved, spanning over another good 25 years. Ultimately it proves beneficial, though, as Yuyuko is formally appointed as the head of the Netherworld, for both her spirit skills and her kind, fair nature.

Gleamed from it:
❀ she doesn't just live in the Netherworld, she actually rules it what the fuck
❀ her boss is "Eiki Shiki, the Yama of Paradise" holy shit she works for an Enma
❀ the underworld is not scary it is full of bureaucrats..........
❀ various afterlife things (Eiki decides if a soul goes to Heaven, Hell, the Netherworld, or gets reincarnated; the Netherworld doesn't change and appears rustic for purely aesthetic reasons; et cetera)
❀ oh god what the actual fuck did she have amnesia before all of this kyriakos shit
❀ +1000 actual competency, -100 afraid of herself from the previous shard, +500 Extremely Concerned about the possible previous amnesia
