Satori Komeiji

Satori Komeiji (古明地　さとり Komeiji Satori) is the Mistress of the Palace of the Earth Spirits after the underground city was separated from Hell. Her ability to read minds causes various youkai and spirits to fear her, but makes her loved by the animals that normally can't be understood. With these animals as pets, she manages the ruins of the Hell of Blazing Fires where her home stands. She is also the main protagonist of Foul Detective Satori.

Personality Not much is known about Satori's actual personality. When the heroine arrives at the Palace during the events of Subterranean Animism, she is very suspicious, and decides to fight against her by using danmaku patterns in the heroine's own mind (or that of her partner). However, she appears to be loved by animals, as they can't normally be understood in the first place.

Abilities Reading minds As a satori, Satori is capable of reading the heart and mind of any living creature, even vengeful spirits. This ability works only on those within her immediate presence,[1] and doesn't work at all on her sister, Koishi.

Hypnotism Satori has limited hypnotic abilities, allowing her to bring traumatic memories to the surface of a person's mind or induce amnesia[2].

Copying patterns After successfully "awakening trauma" through her hypnotic abilities[3], Satori is able to tap into her target's memories and use patterns they may have seen in the past - i.e. Spell Cards that the player character may have fought against in a previous game. This is a true recreation, not an illusion, but is not completely exact[4] (possibly due to flaws in the source memories, or Satori lacking the original users' abilities).

When the Yamas moved the actual site of Hell away from the Underground, there were many vengeful spirits left over that needed to be controlled. The Palace of the Earth Spirits was built on top of the ruins of the Hell of Blazing Fires, and with Satori as the mistress of the palace, there was no chance of any kind of revolt. Eventually, Satori delegated various roles in the maintenance of the Hell of Blazing Fires to the many pets that had assembled in the palace.

Name Her surname Komeiji (古明地, lit. "ancient-bright earth") is an actual Japanese surname, seen mainly in the Yamanashi prefecture. The kanji 地 in Komeiji is also used in the Japanese title of Subterranean Animism (東方地霊殿). Her given name Satori (さとり) is homophonous with the name of her species, satori (覚), but written in hiragana. "Satori" could also be interpreted as satori (悟り, lit. "understanding" or "enlightenment").

Design Has short, purple hair with a black hairband and purple eyes. A red "third eye" is positioned over her heart, with cords running to her head and wrists. Wears a blue shirt with yellow heart buttons and pink collar, a pink skirt with faint flowery pattern and pink slippers.

At some point in the past she started living in the Palace of the Earth Spirits, right above the Hell of Blazing Fires. However, her ability caused her to be shunned by humans and most Youkai. Over time, the only other residents in the Palace were her pets, who welcomed Satori's ability to read minds. Due to the difficulties in managing the Hell of Blazing Fires, she started letting the pets do some of the work. During the events of Stage 4 in Subterranean Animism, the Heroine (from above ground) invaded her home. The Heroine inquired Satori about the evil spirits and the geyser that brought them above ground; suspicious, the Youkai read the Heroine's heart, only to find that the above-ground human does not care about such things. Thus, Satori decided to test their strength. After the encounter, she permitted the Heroine passage towards the Hell of Blazing Fires to ask her pets about their supposed problem.

Foul Detective Satori Satori is the main protagonist of the story. She sends out Rin Kaenbyou as her assistant to interrogate various people in an effort to find a Vengeful spirit that has escaped from Old Hell, Mizuchi Miyadeguchi she prefers to stay in the Castle of the Earth Spirits and rely on Rin bringing her reports, however, she will also do investigations on her own when it's needed. In the first investigation, Patchouli Knowledge and Hong Meiling were put into a coma by Mizuchi Miyadeguchi, she finds out that Mizuchi was able to move around in the Scarlet Devil Mansion by possessing Sakuya Izayoi, who was not put into a coma due to being a human. In the second investigation, Yuyuko Saigyouji was put into a coma by Mizuchi, who was possessing Marisa Kirisame and brought her sake. After Yuyuko wakes up, she together with Youmu Konpaku and Satori head out and search for Marisa, discovering her at Alice Margatroid's house, who was also now in a coma. They subsequently tie Marisa up and interrogate her. They find out that Yukari Yakumo told her that Alice was in a coma, which is the reason why she went to her house. Afterward, Satori and Rin return to the Scarlet Devil Mansion in order to ask Patchouli Knowledge about the scarlet mist incident, much to her shock however, Patchouli seems to have used some sort of magic spell that allowed her to read Satori's mind. Having discovered that Mizuchi operates in the pattern of the incidents, she immediately sends Rin to Eientei to interrogate the residents there, after Rin brings her report back, Satori feels weak and collapses, this is supposedly due to her feeling ill when she reads too many human minds. After Rin reports of an intruder at Eientei, she heads out there herself, however, on the way there she was found collapsed for yet unknown reasons in the Bamboo forest of the Lost by the earth rabbits, and was taken to Eientei in order for her to recover.

Rin Kaenbyou & Utsuho Reiuji Satori keeps many pets, including blaze cats and hell ravens, which also oversee the general management of the Hell of Blazing Fires. Chief amongst those pets are Rin Kaenbyou, the blaze cat in charge of the evil spirits, and Utsuho Reiuji, the hell raven who manages the depths of the Hell of Blazing Fires.

Koishi Komeiji The other important relationship for Satori is her sister, Koishi. Satori cares about Koishi, and wants her sister to open her heart to others once again.

Stage 4 Boss The Girl Even the Vengeful Spirits Fear Satori Komeiji Race: Satori Ability: Reading minds The master of the Palace of the Earth Spirits. The underground city was separated from Hell, but a number of uncontrollable spirits remained in the former facilities of Hell, so there was a need to control them. The Palace of the Earth Spirits is built above what was the Hell of Blazing Fires, and this is where she took up residence. Since she can read others' minds, all sorts of youkai and spirits fear her, so eventually people stopped visiting the Palace of the Earth Spirits. On the other hand, her power makes her well-loved by animals that don't speak, so eventually the premises began to overflow with many pets, starting with blaze cats and hell ravens. Her great number of pets made it difficult to manage the Hell of Blazing Fires, so she entrusted parts of its management to some of her pets. Her pets would oversee other pets. Her pets would tend the gardens. Her pets would play with her younger sister. However, what shouldn't have happened did: a human came from above ground, and she was surprised when they started asking about vengeful spirits and a geyser. Satori left Orin in charge of the vengeful spirits and Utsuho in charge of the Hell of Blazing Fires. They were both loyal to Satori, so they shouldn't have done any harm. She believed there was no way they'd start some sort of incident. She thought that perhaps the human before her was spouting off lies and trying to trick her, so she read her heart and was surprised again by what she saw. There was almost nothing to be seen inside the humans' mind about the vengeful spirits or the geysers. Suspicious, Satori decided to test them.

She has very Smug expression, lovely.
