{{nihongo|'''Fujiwara no Mokou'''|藤原　妹紅}} war einst ein normaler [[Mensch]], doch seit sie vor 1300 Jahren das [[Hourai Elixier]] zu sich genommen hat, ist sie unsterblich. Das heißt jedoch nicht, dass sie keinen Schmerz empfindet. Wenn nötig, lässt sich Mokou im Kampf so oft töten, bis sie keine Schmerzen mehr ertragen kann. Mokou wird auch von vielen als sehr mächtig bezeichnet, da sie sehr lange gelebt hat und auch sehr viel und hart für ihre Kräfte gearbeitet hat.

Mokou first appeared as the Extra [[stage]] [[boss]] of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' and ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]''. She also appeared as a background cameo in ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'' and as a day 3 boss in ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]'', later she became a playable character in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''.

Perhaps due to of being ostracized for so long, Mokou is a loner by nature and chooses not to socialize with humans or youkai. She escorts lost humans she finds within the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]], giving herself a job similar to that of a bamboo forest guide, and even then after escorting between [[Human Village]] and [[Eientei]], she departs without saying a word. Nevertheless, to those whom she's acquainted with, she speaks bluntly and with lively personality. In ''Imperishable Night'''s extra stage, for example, she was easily roused and goes on a rant about how annoying Kaguya is. Not much else is known about her as she doesn't really talk much to anyone.

 

She's commonly thought of as having an androgynous style due to using phrases like "~na no kashira?" and "~na no yo?" which are considerably women's language, all the while using a belligerent tone and wearing pants, which is commonly thought of as unusual among Touhou characters. Within her in-game sprite, she also keeps her hands in her pockets.

She undertakes the duty of escorting people in the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]. Although this may allow her a wider opportunity to socialise with other people, she still remains very reticent about herself. For example, when asked about her past, she doesn't answer with anything other than "I'm an ordinary health maniac who runs a [[Wikipedia:Yakitori|yakitori]] stand" (it is unclear whether she truly does run a yakitori stand). However, she seems to happily listen to others' talking. Thus, even if someone doesn't lose one's way, it would be possible for her to be enlivened by a conversation.

She presently seems to be very content with her life contrary to being commonly thought of having a pessimistic lifestyle. With an unageing, undying body, she and [[Kaguya Houraisan]] kill each other every day, and the text of ''[[Imperishable Night]]'' even emphasises this with the line "and she is alive to enjoy it, how magnificent!"

In ''[[Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth]]'', she's shown to be really good at house chores like cooking and gets embarrassed when noted, besides she don't take too much care of her body health like eating and sleeping well.

Mokou's inability to die allows her body to receive an indefinite amount of punishment. No matter whether she's beheaded, incinerated or has taken any other form of strike, she'll always revive without exception. Mokou will recover within a few day's time if she takes a non-fatal blow. Due to the nature of the [[Hourai Elixir]] she drank over 1300 years ago, she's also incapable of contracting any form of disease or illness. This includes the natural process of ageing.<ref name="INMTEx">[[Imperishable Night]]: [[Imperishable Night/Translation/Magic Team's Extra|Magic Team's Extra]]</ref> It is said she can completely recover even if a single hair remained<ref name="PMiSSMokou">[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]: [[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense/Fujiwara no Mokou|Mokou]]</ref>, although it seems redundant because those who taste the elixir will recover regardless.

 

Mokou's immortality, however, doesn't prevent her from being susceptible to fatigue. Even though she is incapable of dying, she still feels pain when injured just as a normal [[human]] does. It's said that since she doesn't die, feeling the sting of death when she reaches the brink of oblivion brings her a great deal of pain and fatigue when she immediately revives. For this reason, she can be defeated in [[spell card]] matches with [[danmaku]] even though she's invincible. It should be noted though, that this fatigue may be completely mental since she needs no sustenance such as food or sleep to stay alive.

Though never clearly described, Mokou appears to have some sort of control over fire. Many of her spell cards symbolize phoenix imagery, though this is most likely an aesthetic choice by Mokou (due to the phoenix being symbolic of immortality) rather than having any real meaning. The fact it took the combined efforts of her, Kaguya, and several rabbits to put out a forest fire in her ''[[Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red]]'' article implies that while she's capable of starting and increasing fire, she might not necessarily be able to ''extinguish'' it.

According to ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'', in her long life it seems she's mastered various kinds of sorcery to the point in which she can handle [[youkai]] lightly. She uses all kinds of [[spell card]]s in addition to her ability of manipulation of flames, which may also be a kind of sorcery she has mastered. However, it's never been stated exactly what kinds of sorcery she has mastered.

Mokou frequently escorts anyone wanting to go to [[Eientei]] through the [[Bamboo Forest of the Lost]]. She also claims to run a [[Wikipedia:Yakitori|yakitori]] stand. In addition, she regularly fights with Kaguya, and has for many years. As a powerful human (or a being who was once human), one of her main jobs is also youkai extermination.

Upon receiving escort from her, it is impossible to get lost in the bamboo forest. Also, there's no life-threatening danger in the forest since [[youkai]] would not attack. Because of that, it's a myth in the Human Village that if it's necessary to go to Eientei, that Mokou should immediately be contacted.
