Hatate Himekaidou

Intro Hatate Himekaidou (姫海棠　はたて Himekaidou Hatate) is a tengu reporter who produces the the news article, Kakashi Spirit News. Unlike her colleague Aya Shameimaru, she never goes outside for researching newspapers since she has the ability to take pictures of anywhere with her thoughts called thoughtography (念写 nensha). She first appeared in Double Spoiler as the final opponent for Aya before being unlocked as a playable character. Hatate is a perky, casual-speaking, fun-loving, crow tengu who greatly dislikes working. She is known as a shut-in who prefers to stay indoors, using thoughtography to collect information for her articles.[1]She holds a strong discontent towards the rigid tengu caste system and greatly resents the workload placed upon her.[2] In contrast to her outward personality, her articles are very informative and thoughtful. She's a nonconformist who writes from an innovative and progressive viewpoint. For instance, in Alternative Facts in Eastern Utopia, Hatate wrote an article describing the technological benefits outsiders like Sumireko Usami could bring to Gensokyo Hatate's ability allows her to be aware of distant happenings. Her thoughtography is similar to telegnosis, with the addition of being able to take pictures with it. She takes pictures by inputting keywords into her camera, which brings up the associated photos. With this ability, Hatate can gather information and pictures without ever having to leave her room. This makes it a very convenient ability for journalism but because thoughtography relies on what has already been heard, the articles Hatate writes lack speed and freshness. Hatate is shown to have brown eyes, and long brown hair in pigtails with purple ribbons. She wears a pinkish shirt with purple trim on the collar and a thin black tie, a black band around one arm, a purple tokin, a skirt in black/purple checker pattern with a floral pattern on the purple, a small brown pouch on her hip, thigh-high black socks.
