"Fear not, I've prepared gallons of water for tonight's dinner."

"Please no! The spice will burn my hands away as I clean the dishes."

"I've heard many tales of the artisan quality of our guardian's cooking skills. I can only hope it will live up to my expectations."

"As much as I'd love to try lady Meiling's cooking, we goblins are only adapted to English cuisine. We went to the hills long before the human's quest for spices began."

"I'm sure it can't be that spicy. Dragons from the east are watery instead of firey ain't they? Get too hot and poor Meiling will evaporate."

"Actually, I think you'll soon learn that spicy and hot are different characteristics."

This is making me suddenly realize just how many ocs I have in the SDM.

"Oh hello little fairy maid! I do not know who Lily is but sure, I'll say that she counts!"

"Does Lily running around on the first day of spring count? Cause I think thats the closest you're ever gonna get to that in Gensokyo."

"I think Gensokyo would be better if it had Sonic the Hedgehog."

@nekasu

Yorihime bby plz (I couldn't find the exact request for this one so I paraphrased)

And now it is time for Kitsune-Lunarian baby.

Since Neka doesn't have a surname (tosses a very soft pebble at you) I give you Watatsuki no Tamahime. The name's of course taken from the fact that Yorihime's own name is a cut up version of the goddess Tamayori-hime.

Now as for a face claim I was thinking Dorthy Unsworth. Not the exact same shade of hair as Yorihime but I think it's close enough. We'll be getting to the witch motif in a bit.

Now, perhaps I'm misjudging the Lunarians, but given their thing for purity, I cannot imagine that they would be very happy with a half-lunarian in their midst. Which means, despite Yorihime's own high status, Tamahime was banished to Gensokyo upon being born. Yorihime, seeing as she has vital duties as head of the Lunadrian Defense Corp, could not be banished with her. Which means the two are seperated.

That doesn't mean that Yorihime doesn't travel down to earth to visit when she can but such time is rather limited. Which means Tamahime has been chiefly raised by her father. In fact, given how easy it is for Toyohime to just teleport to Gensokyo and back, she even sees her aunt more than her own mother :c.

Given she's a kitsune who is also the daughter of one of the best channelers of Gods there is, Tamahime herself has a high aptitude for magic. Yet Neka himself is quite busy with ... nine tailed kitsune things. I dunno what a kitsune does but it's probably quite important if they have nine tails. For that reason she can't exactly rely on papa to have all the time in the world to dedicate to training her.

Rather a lot of her teachings in magic come from Gensokyo's three witches. Patchouli, Marisa, and Alice. None of them have officially taken her as an apprentice but, given her apptitude, each has been willing to share some tidbits of their knowledge with her. For this reason she's come to model her general aesthetic around witchcraft, particularly in the way that Marisa does (but with a more patchouli-esque color palette).

Just as Neka is, Tamahime is fond of puns and trickery. One may even call her a mischievous little prankster gremlin, though she would insist that it's simply the nature of a kitsune to act in such a way before stealing your books on magic (she really is just a tiny Marisa).

And here is a picrew

Oh it's occuring to me I didn't provide an ability yet. Hmmm. Let me think.

Given both her mother and father have some way of channeling spirits I think an ability to do with that. Like the ability to manipulate Shikigami, just like her papa!
