Aya Shameimaru (射命丸 文 Shameimaru Aya) ist eine in Gensokyo ansässige Reporterin, die bekannt dafür ist, "leicht" übertriebene Zeitungsartikel über alles zu schreiben, das in Gensokyo passiert. Sie ist sehr stark und wahrscheinlich auch stärker als sie es zeigt, da sie manchmal "ausversehen" Kämpfe gewinnt, obwohl sie nur vor hat, Geschichten für ihre Zeitung zu sammeln.

Allgemeines
Fähigkeit
- Manipulation des Windes
Mit dieser Fähigkeit kann Aya einen extrem starken Wind (unter anderem Tornados) herbeirufen, wann immer sie will. Sie ist ebenfalls in der Lage, dem Wind "zuzuhören" und so Gerüchte aufzuschnappen, die ihr als Journalistin helfen. Viele ihrer spell cards in den Spielen zeigen bevorzugt diese Fähigkeit. Ihre Kräfte gehören zu den stärksten in Gensokyo und nur wenige können sie mit einer echten Chance auf den Sieg herausfordern. Dennoch kämpft sie nur ungern und zeigt ihre Kraft nur selten. Das scheint ein weit verbreiteter Charakterzug unter den Tengu zu sein
- Geschwindigkeit
While Tengu as a whole are known for their incredible speed that few can match, Aya is an exception even among them and is often regarded as "the fastest" in Gensokyo. This is clearly demonstrated in one of her spell cards.
Tätigkeit
Aya runs the Bunbunmaru Newspaper, which is viewed by most humans and youkai in Gensokyo as a mildly popular gossip or tabloid paper. She has a shameless reporting style, tends to exaggerate events, and expresses her own personal opinions in her articles. As a result, many don't want to see themselves in her newspaper, and she is on less than good terms with some of the other characters. Still, she does have ethics, and is more interested in pursuing the truth (sometimes to a fault) than ruining other peoples' reputation for the sake of it.
Her depiction in Strange and Bright Nature Deity and Curiosities of Lotus Asia suggest that her newspaper isn't well received, and she is willing to jokingly trick Reimu into believing in a fictional type of ghost to boost its popularity.
Konzept
Herkunft
ZUN once commented that the gaming concept of Shoot the Bullet was around since the same time he created Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Since such a game required a camera-using character, Aya was created specifically to fit that purpose.
Name
Her full name is Aya Shameimaru (射命丸 文). The characters for Shameimaru (射命丸) literally means, in sequence, "to shoot (an arrow)" (or "to shine into/onto"), "command", "decree", "order" or "life" (or "hit/target" in the word meichuu meichuu (命中)), and "circle" (common name ending, usually seen in names of crafts and swords or similar weapons, and is also a very common suffix for the names of ships). Aya (文) means "text", "sentence" or "literature", and it's also the first character of "Bunkachou". The name Shameimaru (射命丸) is derived from Sha-Mail (Shamēru → Shameimaru), which is text messages with photos, very appropriate for a fast-traveling journalist who takes pictures.
Aya owns the Bunkachou (文花帖), a tengu notebook gathering innumerable photographs and handwritten notes. Bun (文, also pronounced as aya) means "sentence, text", ka (花) means "flower", "blossom" (or "pretty", "cute thing" in a figurative sense) and chou (帖) means "notebook": therefore Bunkachou literally means "notebook of flowering sentences": her record of interesting observations for Bunbunmaru Newspaper articles and pictures of beautiful danmaku or cute girls living in Gensokyo.
Aussehen
Aya has red eyes and semi-long black hair. She wears a white blouse, black short skirt, and a tokin. From Phantasmagoria of Flower View to Scarlet Weather Rhapsody she can be seen holding a hauchiwa fan. In Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, Phantasmagoria of Flower View, and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Aya is shown holding a notebook and being accompanied by a crow. She was depicted with black wings for the first and only time in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.
In Double Spoiler, Aya now carries a camera and wears an orange armband reading Shuzaichuu (「取材中」, lit. "collecting material/the scoop"). She is also notably depicted with pointed ears, compared to the normal-looking ears that were visible in her Mountain of Faith portrait.

During the events of Phantasmagoria of Flower View, she sets out to cover what promises to be an interesting news story, apparently having had completely forgotten that the exact same event had occurred 60 years ago. Even though she was alive and around during the previous flower incident, perhaps her memory is clouded by the thousands of facts and rumors she hears every day.
- Mountain of Faith
- Hauptartikel: Reimu's Arc und Marisa's Arc
When Aya was sent by the other Tengu to see who the intruder on Youkai Mountain was during Mountain of Faith she was surprised to see it was the heroine. Although Aya doesn't want to fight the heroine, she prioritizes her bosses' orders. She decides to "go easy" on the heroine and leads her to the new shrine, believing that the heroine could get rid of a large nuisance to the Tengu.
- Subterranean Animism

It turns out to be Marisa Kirisame, to which this story extends onto the Extra stage.
- Hopeless Masquerade
Aya made a background cameo appearance in Hopeless Masquerade on the Myouren Temple and Genbu Ravine stage. She is seen standing on top of the temple in the former and on pipe in the latter, taking photographs. She also produces Bunbunmaru Newspapers that are shown after each fight.

In Impossible Spell Card, Aya (been one of the tengu mentioned by Mamizou Futatsuiwa) takes notice of minorities trying to capture the mischief-making amanojaku Seija Kijin, who also appears to be one of the many youkai that tries to capture her on day 6.
