Minoriko Aki

Minoriko is simple and cheerful, and for a goddess, she's not very dignified. Despite not having much faith, she seems content with having a light workload. She has a superiority complex towards her older sister, Shizuha, though she envies the latter's sense of beauty and artistry. Together, they get depressed when winter arrives.

In his dialogue with Reimu, he states that the gods dedicate a lot of time to themselves, which is why he uses a perfume that smells like freshly harvested potatoes, as well as the scent of other fruits and harvest products.

Minoriko has the power to control the harvests of grains, fruits, and other plants that ripen in autumn. To encourage their growth, she works diligently, cultivating each plant individually, resulting in a limited yield. The quality of the plants she can nurture depends on the faith she accumulates. She prefers natural cultivation methods and avoids excessive weeding and soil preparation; she considers farmers who oppose her preferences to be enemies.

Minoriko is a harvest goddess. However, she seems to be less well-known, as there are other, more famous harvest goddesses, such as Ukanomitama. Because of this, she is considered a "wild" or "untamed" goddess who has great difficulty gaining faith. It is for this reason that she is almost indistinguishable from a common youkai. She is not venerated enough to warrant the construction of shrines, and almost all of her faith comes from individuals, but she appreciates having less work to do.

Enjoying a good reputation among humans, she is often invited to the annual harvest festival as a special guest to bless their crops. If she is not invited before the harvest, she cannot guarantee a bountiful harvest. However, she does not consider this her problem and will not mention it when the matter arises.

Minoriko has red eyes and blonde hair. She wears a yellow blouse with puffed sleeves and a red dress that reaches halfway down her chest and has black straps over her shoulders. Over the dress, she wears a red apron with a wheat stalk pattern at the bottom, and her red hat has a bunch of blue grapes on the front. She is barefoot.
