I prefer canon Alice, but I acknowledge that certain parts of the fanon idea of her ring true to her attitude throughout her appearances.

Alice is a loner, she purposefully went out of the way to live on her own away from people to pursue her research goals, further perfecting her way of magic making more dolls and hoping to discover a way of making a truly sentient doll. Shanghai, ignoring fanon interpretations is entirely controlled by Alice who controls all her dolls at once, they have no will or personality beyond that which Alice plays out for them, there is a reason the villages find her fucking creepy.

That said, she's oddly not very youkai like. She doesn't really attack humans (with exception of Reimu) and will even permit villagers trapped in the woods at night time to stay over at her place until the morning... not that many do, there is something about a house full of dolls labouring on their own while the owner more or less ignores you that is completely unsettlingly.

Alice does get invited to things through Marisa and Reimu though, like during IaMP where she hangs around the two. It's clear she sees them as friends of a sort and is closer to Marisa in terms of location and hobbies. There are hints but as always they can be misunderstood easily, Alice is taking a drug off Eirin to make her dreams good, she's been seen nailing voodoo like dolls around the forest and seemingly hiding her intent. But for the most part, Alice is a loner who keeps to herself putting on a façade of strength when in reality she's a bit of a arrogant coward.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Creepy loner Alice is more interesting then desperate stuttering Alice.

Everyone is a bitch in canon. Touhou is a game full of bitches pissing one another off and then duelling.

Notable exceptions (from the top of my head, feel free to add more):

Keine (Fights hero team due to a misunderstanding. Actually trying to protect her village, later her friend)
Nitori (tries to warn humans off from the mountain)
Momiji (same as Nitori)
... Actually, just add all the MoF characters aside from Kanako. Even Senae was just following instructions from her god.

More likely defended herself.

That was over 1000 years ago + revenge still doesn't make you a bitch.
>Kaguya - stuck up bitch that can't simply say 'no' when she doesn't want to marry someone. Also sets people on Mokou for lulz.
Kaguya isn't really as stuck up as you believe. She even calls herself a human(filthy). The kill-thing is just the usual.
>Eirin - really, do I need to say anything for Eirin?
I don't know what you would have to say? She is harsh towards Reisen, but in general does everything to protect her (and the princess).

Sakuya isn't from modern times, back then they just thought the sky went on forever, the whole concept of air pressure or atmosphere is lost on someone like her.

Sakuya does seem like kind of a bitch in PCB though. More well-spoken than usually depicted in fanon, but still a bitch.

Even (ignorant) people today make that assumption. Where else is it even suggested that Sakuya isn't from the modern outside world?

I don't know where I got this, but I always thought Sakuya's time manipulation had no effect on her age. Probably because Akyu says the exact opposite, and we all know what a terribly reliable source she is.

[Aya Shameimaru !TENGUWdjvs No.]

And Sakuya isn't really stupid. It's been frequently described in her character biographies that she sometimes quirky and impulsively does odd acts.

Remember when you were a kid and wondered what would happen if you opened the door while your parents were driving 80MPH on the highway? Pretty much like that.

We know nothing about Sakuya's past. We can only assume she's from Gensokyo which has been isolated from the modern world for several hundred years.
Most fanon interpretations assume she was a vampire hunter of sorts from the outside world who's currently suffering from amnesia. That would also explain why facts we take as "common sense" are unknown to her.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't see why it would be so surprising that Sakuya doesn't seem all that bright, since the very nature of her job doesn't require her to have to think much.
She has a reputation as Remilia's "dog" for a reason, after all.

What incident?

[Anonymous No.]

>>1089898
That's not saying much. Akyu's clarity comes and goes from article to article.

She was smart enough to determine that Lunarians are the same as Earth humans (even Eirin's explanation of Lunarian aging in CiRL seems to indicate it's not the person, but the environment). There are also a good number of reasons why she would not mention the Hourai Elixir or tone down some of the potential connections between Kaguya, Eirin, and Reisen with the Lunar Capital. She goes from dropping a lot of heavy hints in Kaguya's article, to completely nullifying the subject in Reisen's entry (she does say that not many people know much about Reisen anyway, and Reisen herself probably doesn't want to talk about it).

Akyu's biggest problem appears to be her inflexibly brutal definition and application of the term "youkai."

[Anonymous No.]

I don't get why you point out Alice in particular.

Every character in the CANON DIALOGUE's a bitch to each other who speak in obtuse metaphors. If you want to go that far about it, Tewi's pretty nice and Cirno's not really that dumb.

[Anonymous No.]

With Sakuya, let's not forget that even with her somewhat harmless appearance in in-game dialogues, SSiB, etc, the sisters do eat people, and as for who gets to drag home and butcher dinner, well, there's only one maid in the mansion who can really get anything done at all.

As for the scatterbrained part, I wonder if she's simply not just living in her own little world.

PMiSS states that vampires are not allowed to prey on Gensokyo natives. Youkai are contracted to provide them human food, most likely inconsequential outsiders (suicide victims, hobos, etc). A devil's contract can't be broken.

Sakuya isn't stupid, she's more eccentric. It's been stated several times in her character biographies that she's quirky and does odd acts. Remember when you were a kid, you opened the car door while your parents were speeding over 80mph on a highway? Yeah.

Vampires are not allowed to prey on Gensokyo natives. The Youkai there though are contracted to provide them humans, usually outsiders whose deaths are inconsequential (suicide victims, etc). Though there is no doubt Sakuya definitely has to prepare humans for cooking.

Sakuya also isn't really stupid, she's more eccentric. It's been stated multiple times in her character bios that she's quirky and impulsively does odd acts.

Pretty much. But even with that said, I can sort of believe Alice having (or wanting to have) an affectionate side, but it wouldn't show up as stuttering requests for attention - she's not clingy, she's cautious and subtle. Doujin authors do a better job of portraying this, and there Alice prefers to hide outward displays of affection out of fear of rejection, as befitting her personality, and doesn't treat her "lover" that much better than other friends, aside from the obvious benefits. No stuttering requests or small-talk discussion, just quiet gifts, hugs, or other displays of affection.

tl;dr: avoidant, not anxious attachment style

>>1090420
Maybe. But her habits of acting more human than youkai make me think she'd rather cling to at least a few aspects of that rather than go around eating people for the hell of it.

She does at least mock up social interaction through her dolls, so she isn't entirely being weaned of it, and isn't doing too much to do so - she might be distracting herself from the urge via "talking" to herself (yay schizophrenia), or using it as a substitute to either maintain her humanity or control the conversation to avoid outside rejection (if focusing on the cowardly explanation). I'm tempted to believe the last is most likely. "Ronrey" yes, but whether she wants to go further with that or follow normal human habits is debatable; it's entirely possible to be content alone, though it makes more positive conditions difficult.
