>>7639569
Back when Yuyuko wasn't in full control of her power, she involuntarily used it on one of her retainers, displacing his spirit to outside his body. Since he was neither fully alive nor dead altogether, he was deemed a half-ghost and enjoyed a greatly extended lifespan. His descendants are born with the same condition, which now acts as a family curse, and have nonetheless served Yuyuko since then.

But then, that's all bullshit I just made up. How Youmu and Youki ended up being half-ghost is unknown.

Put simply, she is a human that is not entirely alive, and a ghost that is not entirely dead.

Well, she too has her little quirks. For example Youmu is rather cold to the touch and something of a wisp, while Myon is unusually warm and tangible for a ghost.

Yes, sadly I was just about to get to that...

Read it in her character description on the wiki back in 2008, but it doesn't seem to be listed where I remember it anymore. As such, it may not have been reliable information to begin with.

Yes, in PMiSS:
考え方も特に人間と変わらないが、平熱はほんの少し低いと言れている。
You can think of her as a normal human for the most part, but it's said her body temperature is a bit low.

また、通常の幽霊とは異なり、体温もさほど冷たくない。
Unlike normal phantoms, its body is not particularly cold to the touch.

Okay, fine.

She loses her human half.

She wouldn't necessarily become a ghost, per se, as ghosts remain on the living side.

It's never explicitly said whether the souls Komachi ferries across are "phantoms", though, so it's possible that whatever phantoms Youmu has collected in her life (spirits of emotion and feeling) are simply released with Myon, and the human side of Youmu becomes the soul (that will be picked up by the Reaper Shinigami and brought to Komachi).

>youmu's age
I think it's fair to assume that she's the same age as all the other playable touhou's from main games: reimu, marisa, sakuya, and sanae appear to all be in the same age group and are all human. Considering the separateness of her phantom-half and human-half, it's likely that her human half ages at a normal rate and her looks don't lie.
