Okina Matara

Okina Matara is a character who debuted in Find the Koishis II.
== Canon Facts ==
Okina is the third and (currently) last Sage of Gensokyo to be revealed, after Kasen Ibaraki, who debuted in Wild and Horned Hermit (a manga). She is the embodiment of the obscure Buddhist deity Matara-jin, the "god of the backdoor" who was prayed to in secret. Matara-jin himself represents destiny and stars, but also was a protector for outcast communities such as travelling performers. Over time, Matara-jin received an association with being the god of Noh, or Japanese traditional mask plays; in fact, Okina is named after the okina mask. It is worth mentioning Matara-jin apparently was associated with Prince Shotoku.
Okina is said to be the "splitting image" of a deity: she's a divinely-empowered asshole, or the most benevolent person you'll meet, depending on if you pray to her or not. Her primary ability relates to her backdoors, which she can use to siphon energy out of people and also has a similar portal ability like Yukari's gaps. She has two underlings named Satono Nishida and Mai Teireida, who she calls her "backup dancers" as their primary abilities are slowly driving you to insanity by hitting the griddy. Or something like that.
== FTK Facts ==
While Okina has not yet been directly met in FTK2, she can be 'fought' in the form of her Koishi counterpart Koina Matara, who she FTK-canonically has ties with. 
As Okina elected to hold out in Gensokyo much longer despite the other Sages deciding to wing it when the Koishi crisis happened, Okina became a figurehead to Koishis; eventually, feeling she could inspire a sense of hierarchy and order in what she otherwise considered 'sheep below sheep', she picked out one Koishi who'd be molded into Koina. Koina's ability to speak and sling insults at you comes from Okina granting a specific Koishi access to books and literature, something that is considered ambrosia amongst Koishikind.Lore dossier for Koina Matara Koina's leadership skills later inspired others after her, leading to individuals such as Koishi Senri taking power in the Human Village's remnants.
Her sprite depicts her with a broken left arm, apparently the cause of which was Yukari.Discord
== Trivia ==
* FTK-Okina is portrayed as being a lot more stubborn, self-centered, and narcissistic than her canonical counterpart, who's merely said to be ostentatious and showy (and apparently feels pity for Satono and Mai being trapped in their current state). 
** Mare also portrays Okina as being extremely envious of Yukari for all sorts of reasons, from Yukari's role in founding Gensokyo to her powers.
** Canon Okina's villainy, however, is dependent on the writer, and it's up to personal opinion whether or not FTK-Okina changes Okina majorly or not at all.
* Okina claims to be the "ultimate Secret God".. yet she's unaware that there's another person who also claims to be that exact thing.
* Although Okina is commonly joked to be "the cripple Sage", and in fact Okina was once planned to be portrayed in a wheelchairShe is presented riding one in Visionary Fairies in Shine, however (ZUN's words), Okina is not canonically stated to be physically disabled. Mare has personally headcanoned Okina isn't crippled and merely sits in a wheelchair to attract sympathy-points, in order to reinforce and justify her ego.
