Reimu Hakurei 	 	"Halved the population? Are you sure? Personally, I wouldn't believe playground rumours like that..."

Marisa Kirisame 	 	"She's right. This sounds like the start of a third-rate murder mystery. Just on a bigger scale."
A witch who is friends with Reimu. Like Reimu, she is disinterested by the rumours about Suwako, but still gets herself involved in Sanae's travels.	Witch 	Mercenary, Magic Thief
Youmu Konpaku 	 	"Fighting goddess may be out of my reach, but helping them? I could do that at any time."

Yuyuko Saigyouji 	 	"You could at least start with "sorry to bother you at this late hour"... but yes, I will assist you two."
The queen of Hakugyoukoru and the mistress of Youmu. Despite the population of Hoshido being halved, not enough spirits have gone to the afterlife to account for this. Thus, on Youmu's request, Yuyuko joins Sanae in her attempt to clear Suwako's name.	Butterfly Mage 	Lord, Pegasus Mage
Byakuren Hijiri 	 	"Goddesses are just as cruel as they were in my days in the temple. Now, in the name of the three treasures..."

 	 	"I have no reason to fight you, goddess. "Harmony is to be valued.""

 	 	"A goddess, thou sayeth? Dost she mean to destroy Hoshido? Or perchance she were a slave to another's ideas?"

Adeleine 	 	"I don't know. If she's a goddess, surely she'd be best helping people, rather than killing them?"
An artist who lives alone in a forest in Dream Land. Adeleine does not believe the rumour that Suwako destroyed half of Hoshido's population, but tags along with Susie regardless, hoping that she can get inspiration for her art project in doing so.	Artist 	Samurai, Ice Mage

Magic Archer 	Tactician, Lightning Mage
Taranza 	 	"Fine. I'll join your cause. Just don't expect me to stay with you the whole way."

==Gameplay==
Reflection: Swords of Mind plays out like a tactical RPG, along the lines of Fire Emblem Awakening. Each chapter is divided into turns, and in every turn is a Player Phase followed by an Enemy Phase and, in some chapters, an Ally Phase. In the Player Phase, the player must move all of their units - each unit can move a maximum number of spaces that differs depending on their level, with flying units being able to move considerably further. After moving, units may attack a nearby enemy using any of the weapons in their inventory. After all of the player's units have moved, the Enemy Phase begins, and the opposing units will all make their move. Afterwards, any allied units will move, and a new turn will begin.
Each unit has nine different statistics. Experience is gathered by damaging enemies and using staffs, and once it reaches certain points, the unit gains a level, randomly increasing their stats (except for Movement, which only increases at certain levels). These are the stats that units possess...
*HP: This value determines the unit's maximum health. Health is lowered when the unit gets hit by enemy attacks, and raised when they are healed by a staff or healing tile. Once it reaches 0, the unit cannot be used for the rest of the chapter.
*Strength: This value determines the damage the unit deals with swords, lances and bows.
*Defence: This value determines the damage the unit receives from swords, lances and bows.
*Magic: This value determines the damage the unit deals with magic.
*Resistance: This value determines the damage the unit receives from magic.
*Speed: This value determines the unit's evasion and chances to land an extra attack.
*Skill: This value determines the unit's accuracy and chances to land a critical hit.
*Luck: This value helps in determining accuracy and evasion, along with lowering the enemy's chances of double attacks and critical hits.
*Movement: This value determines the maximum number of spaces the unit can move each turn.
==Classes==
===Player-Available Classes===
Name 	Available to 	Details
Tactician 	Sanae, Susie, Magolor 	A well-balanced class who wields swords and elemental magic. Although more versatile than most classes, being able to land both physical and magical damage, their stats aren't as high when compared to other classes.
Shrine Maiden 	Reimu, Miko, Francisca 	This class can attack with light magic and provide support with staffs. Although the class has high Magic, making both their attacks and their healing effective, their other stats are overall quite low.
Witch 	Marisa, Byakuren, Severa 	A class who carries elemental magic as their weapon of choice. Witches have some of the best Magic of all classes, making them amazing for dealing damage, but also have weak defences.
Gardener 	Youmu, Nazrin, Francisca 	This class is capable of melee combat with swords and lances. Gardeners have well-balanced stats, although they lean slightly towards their Speed and Skill, in exchange for somewhat weak attack power.
Butterfly Mage 	Yuyuko, Miko, Taranza 	A class who wields elemental magic. While overall quite weak stat-wise, save for their decent defences, these units can summon groups of Butterflies to fight alongside them. These butterflies are weak, although they have an advantage in their numbers.
Pegasus Mage 	Byakuren, Yuyuko, Inigo 	This class is capable of attacking with elemental magic from the back of a pegasus. Being a flying unit, they have greater movement range, but are vulnerable to attacks from bows. Their stats are quite balanced, favouring Defence and Speed over Skill and Resistance.
