Her ability allows her to decipher any text by touching it, including foreign and youkai languages. She has a strong interest in youkai books and is considered one of the top demon book collectors in Gensokyo. Despite her kind and cheerful nature, she often gets into trouble due to her curiosity. She is close friends with Hieda no Akyuu and has interactions with youkai like Mamizou Futatsuiwa and Aya Shameimaru. Her name and character design are inspired by the Edo-era Kokugaku scholar, Norinaga Motoori.
