Character Name: Koakuma Character Series: Touhou Project Character Age: Unknown in canon, and I pass it off IC as her being unable to remember. She generally behaves as a child, though, so stick her in a child slot. Background: http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Koakuma
Due to a limited amount of information on this particular character, here's a bit of headcanon to give her some amount of background prior to the beginning of the game she appears in:
Koakuma was a devil born—or possibly created by the goddess Shinki—in Makai, and spent an unknown amount of time living there, which she has very little memory of. Somewhere during the year 1998, she was summoned to Gensokyo through the combined efforts of Remilia Scarlet and Patchouli Knowledge, as part of one of Remilia's numerous efforts to gain more power for herself. In respect to this purpose, Koakuma was...considerably lacking, apparently not powerful enough to serve her intended purpose as well as having a slight tendency to forget things or become distracted, and as such, she was instead given to Patchouli to act as a personal servant.
To help ensure that Koakuma would in fact do what she would be told, Patchouli cast a spell to bind the devil as her familiar. Upon completion of this spell, however, it was discovered that Koakuma was more-powerful than Remilia had been willing to believe. Wanting to avoid any kind of incident involving her, Patchouli next sealed the majority of the devil girl's powers via a locket enchanted with what she called the "Hiding Moon Seal", and put her to work in the mansion's library where she would hopefully not be needed to use what little power wasn't sealed. Koakuma has found her work to be quite enjoyable, save for any of the times when Marisa Kirisame would break in and "borrow" more books, and has spent almost the entirety of her time in Gensokyo in the mansion's library.
