Ellie is threatened by my masculinity.

Also, your image is too tall, so you should shrink it down in size or wrap [img200] tags around it.

Concept


Based on danzaburou danuki of Sado Island, one of the most famous tanuki in Japanese folklore, along with Hage Danuki of Yashima and Shibaemon Tanuki of Awaji Island. He was the boss of tanuki on Sado, who drove off the foxes from the island. [2] In another, Danzaburo was a money lender, who freely loaned money to the people. He was also said to be responsible for mirages at Futatsu-iwa, a rock formation in Aikawa, Sado. [3]
Name
Futatsuiwa (二ッ岩) literally translates to "two stones", perhaps a reference to the bake-danuki's inflatable testicles, but also a location in Sado where bake-danuki were prevalent. Mami (マミ) may have been a reference to mami (魔魅) which means "deceiving spirit" or mami (猯) which means "badger" or "racoon dog".
Appearance
Mamizou has brown eyes and light-brown, shoulder length hair. She is featured with raccoon ears and a tail. On her head there lays a green leaf and she has glasses. She has a ecru shirt and her skirt is red-grey with some patterns on it.
As with most bake-danuki from Japanese myths, Mamizou carries a bottle of sake and a booklet of promissory notes.
Occupation
Her role is to become a strong ally in the youkai forces. She did provide loans and other assistance to humans in her pre-Gensokyo days.
Personality
A faintly mischievous but good natured woman, proud of the esteem her race has. She isn't one to really take a grudge, but as Marisa in her extra stage shows she has her limits of niceness. Despite being brought in as a 'trump card', she is noted to being friendly with humans.
Story



Mamizou, Kyouko, and Kogasa at the Hakurei Shrine in Wild and Horned Hermit
Ten Desires
Mamizou is secretly called in by Nue Houjuu from the outside world to become a strong ally on the youkai side against Toyosatomimi no Miko and her faction. She arrives late however and Miko had already been defeated by the heroines. She later takes up residence at Myouren Temple.
Main article: Reimu Arc
In Reimu's story, Mamizou reveals that she crossed the sea of Sado in order to reach Gensokyo and criticizes Reimu for underestimating the vastness of the sea.
Main article: Marisa Arc
Mamizou sees through all of Marisa's lies. She also notes that her power is strong enough to be "within the top three" of the transforming tanuki in Japan.
Main article: Sanae Arc
Despite Sanae's mission to exterminate youkai, the two appear to have a friendly duel. Sanae, though, assumes that the bake-danuki is fairly old due to her language—many of the inflections and word choices used by older people in Japan resemble those used decades, even centuries, ago—and in this misunderstanding gives the youkai some encouragement. Mamizou tells her that her old language is merely a habit.
Main article: Youmu Arc
Mamizou tells Youmu that she came to give the youkai there some encouragement in their fight against Toyosatomimi no Miko. She offers to train Youmu, and after she is defeated, jokes that the half-ghost is worthy to be her apprentice. Mamizou does not appear to know about the Myouren Temple itself until Youmu explains, and finds the presence of both a youkai temple and a youkai-exterminating shrine (the Hakurei Shrine) in Gensokyo quite interesting. Mamizou invites her into the temple to rest and to talk about Sado.
Wild and Horned Hermit, chapter 9
After a strange 'black mist' assails the residents of the Myouren Temple and others, Mamizou pays a visit to the Hakurei Shrine accompanied by Kogasa Tatara and Kyouko Kasodani, suspecting Reimu Hakurei as the culprit. However, Suika Ibuki soon reveals herself as the true attacker, and the three youkai appear to leave during the chaos.
Relationships
Nue Houjuu
Nue Houjuu was the one to call Mamizou to Gensokyo, and they are described as being friends.
Byakuren Hijiri
She is currently living at Byakuren Hijiri's temple.
Other residents of the Myouren Temple
Kyouko claims that Mamizou will listen to the problems and concerns of those living at the temple with open ears.
Additional Information

Trivia
She is the first female character in the Windows series to wear glasses. The first in the entire series is Rikako.
Whenever she launches an attack her leaf playfully flaps on top of her head.
Fanon
Because of her name, many fans depicted her in many situations that were similar to those experienced by Mami Tomoe from Puella Magi Madoka Magica due to its popularity.
Some fans depict her as Mamio, referencing Mario, who could wear a Tanooki suit in Super Mario Bros. 3.
Since her profile says she dislikes foxes and may cause trouble with the foxes of Gensokyo, fans depict her as having an antagonistic relationship with the kitsune Ran Yakumo.
While bake-danuki usually have large testicles, since she is a female (or at least, in the form of one), many fans depicted her with large breasts to compensate for that.
Though in certain rather rare NFSW pictures, she does live up to the expectations of her species.
There have been various fanart of her using her transformations to tease the original person, sometimes with an obvious chest difference (which often leads to breast envy in the original girl)
She has been shown to be an older sister figure to Nue and some other characters in fanart.

[Phlogiston]

I think about 98% of that is going to go over their heads. Just want to point that out.

[EternalSword7]

I don't even think I wanna read it. And that's saying something, because I read everything.

Sooo... A cosplayer.

[Phoopes]

I liked the part about inflatable testicles the most.

[Phlogiston]

Good, because I think I found a new band name.

Incidentally, I think the new poster is someone who's been here before.

My money's on it being the guy who immediately set him up for that ridiculous reply.

Not quite so confident on you, though. We'll see.

Who's cruxis?

A pair of gigantic talking/typing biceps.

[Quilava42]

I was once an unassuming Shuppet doll that no one wants to take or have their clinging desires for. They don't want a badly drained, blank face doll like me. I was sealed in a state of muteness, as no one noticed my internal bottled up frustration and my dark despair to the whole world.

Maybe this will catch your minds, since I wrote the hook. owo

[EternalSword7]

Who's cruxis?

Someone who should remain buried in the past.

I'll take you up, because you're probably wrong.

Is he banned?
