Byakuren Hijiri
A compassionate and devoted head buddhist priest of the myouren temple.
-
Originally a human who feared death, She became a powerful magician by studying dark magic to preserve her youth and longevity, but she needed to protect the youkai who generated the magical energy she required to survive.
While initially helping these creatures for selfish reasons, she grew to genuinely pity their plight and became a dedicated advocate for human-youkai peace, establishing herself as a compassionate Buddhist monk. Tragic misunderstanding led humans to fear her kindness toward monsters, resulting in her being sealed away in the frozen world of Makai for over a thousand years.
Centuries later, her loyal youkai followers successfully unsealed her, allowing her to settle in Gensokyo where she founded the Myouren Temple—a sanctuary where she continues her life's mission to foster harmony, acceptance, and equal rights for all beings.
