Race: Nekomata

Ability: Black Magic

Age: Unknown

Occupation: Ran's Shikigami

Location: Mayohiga / Boundary of Gensokyo





Chen is Ran's shikigami, who was guarding the village of Mayohiga during the events of Perfect Cherry Blossom. Unfortunately, she could put up little resistance due to being far away from her master.
Later, she guards the path to Ran Yakumo, and is much more powerful due to her master's proximity.

Stage 2 Boss, a shikigami that possesses a cat living in the mountain. Her primary ability is black magic.
She is Ran's shikigami, which makes her a shikigami of a shikigami of a youkai. Although she's a shikigami, her normal form is not a charm or anything like that; she always remains in her human-like form. Even without being in shikigami possession she can speak the human language and fly around, but her abilities will be health insurance limited to merely surprising people. Also, while non-possessed, neither her appearance nor personality changes, but she still sits by a kotatsu in the winter.
In shikigami form, this cat-figure acquires the fearsome power of a wrathful god. But because her master is a shikigami as well, her power is somewhat lowered.
When touched by water, her shikigami possession is unlinked from her master. As a cat her normal form also hates water, so she is always weak against water.
