Eiki Shiki

Komachi Onozuka is her subordinate, who ferries souls across the Sanzu River to face judgment. She is frivolous and energetic, always carrying a scythe. Eiki often scolds her for her laziness, because when she is not ferrying souls to her, they remain in Gensokyo, and because of them, flowers begin to grow, and each such flower symbolizes the character of a certain soul: for example, a sunflower grows if the person was cheerful, a lily if sad, and a pink sakura blooms if the person was a sinner.

1. The Staff of Repentance: Always in Eiki's possession, it can be described as a staff or piece of wood. The staff's weight varies depending on the weight of one's sins. It is one of the essential items Yama uses to punish. The staff bears the symbol 罪, meaning "sin."
2. A purified crystal mirror: An object also used for judgment. When used, it reveals all the soul's actions, and nothing can be hidden from it, but using it requires considerable energy.

She always knows the truth, knows what is sin and virtue, good and evil, and is one of the Yamas—judges who decide the fate of people after death, whether they will go to heaven, hell, the Lower World, or be reincarnated. She is immortal and very powerful.

Whether it's because she simply has a habit of lecturing, or because she genuinely wants others to change for the better, she's become well-known in Gensokyo for lecturing anyone and everyone on their shortcomings. Because she's very preachy and never makes a mistake, she's difficult to get close to and befriend. Despite her stern attitude and seriousness in her work, Eiki has a playful and teasing side, smiling even when revealing the shortcomings of those she lectures. She's described as polite and patient. Even when she takes time off from work, she never misses an opportunity to lecture anyone.

Eiki has blue eyes and green hair that is longer on the left side. She wears a dark blue sleeveless dress with golden shoulder pads over a black skirt and a white shirt with a single ribbon on both sleeves. She wears a blue and white hat with a golden emblem on the front and a red and white bow on the back; the emblem and bow are balanced equally. She also wears black shoes with a red bow and frilly socks. Her uniform also appears to have a pattern that seems balanced, with golden emblems on her shoulders depicting the characters 是 and 非, meaning "true" and "false," respectively.
