==Biography==
===Background===
Seija, the original wielder of the Miracle Mallet, had found the mallet and decided to use it for her own ambitions. She needed an inchling to be able to use its power, so she sought out for Shinmyoumaru Sukuna and manipulated her, thus starting the plot of Double Dealing Character.
===Double Dealing Character===
While being in the Shining Needle Castle, she eventually meets all the playable characters (Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, and Sakuya Izayoi) and begins fighting them, but loses. Thus, she is defeated and the playable characters begin to fight Shinmyoumaru. After the game, she is noticed by most characters in Gensokyo.
===Impossible Spell Card & Gold Rush===
In Impossible Spell Card, Seija who is now wanted, causes a few characters attempt to fight and capture her using unbeatable spell cards, and in response, Seija uses cheat items in order to combat this. Eventually, she gets known by Tengu who write newspapers about her, leading for more characters to try capture her. However, after she has defeated the others, she meets with Shinmyoumaru who demands to have what's left over of the Miracle Mallet, although she declines, leading for them to fight. Apparently, Seija wins.
Then, in Gold Rush, after retrieving the Miracle Mallet from Shinymoumaru, she decides to use what's left of its power and rob the Hakurei Shrine. It is unknown what happens after.
===The Grimoire of Usami===
Watching Reimu and Marisa who are planning a firework festival for other humans to watch through a tree with Shinmyoumaru, they joke about it. Shinmyoumaru explains that she came to see her because she wants to participate in the firework festival with her to make everyone understand that the weak are strong and that what makes danmaku interesting is not being flashy, but making it exciting. She requests for her to hijack the festival and turn it to a danmaku festival.
Later, Seija makes her reappearance and steals the judge's chairs and calls out to the audience that the fireworks festival will be turning into a wild danmaku festival and that they should prepare to get out. To Marisa's annoyance, she declares that the festival is hers to run. Marisa flies away after Seija talks about Marisa, then Seija sits on a seat with Sumireko Usami, saying hello to her while Sumireko is confused.
Starting the danmaku festival, she begins showing her own spell cards Turnabout "Reverse Hierarchy" and Reverse Bow "Decree of the Dream Bow of Heaven & Earth". Soon Clownpiece begins her spell cards and along with Sumireko she rates the following danmaku, continuously rating them a 0 and commenting on them, until the danmaku festival reaches its near end. Outside with the others, Seija states that there is another contestant, revealed to be Reimu at the end and Seija eventually leaves the final round she had been judging. I love you
==Relationships==
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna: Seija had manipulated Shinymoumaru into believing the inchlings fell and that youkai were the cause for this. Shinmyoumaru herself had known about Seija's nature as an amanojaku, yet still believed in her, a fact that had confused Shinmyoumaru. However, despite this they seem to be friends.
==Trivia==
*Multiple parts of her character represent reversion.
**Her theme song, Reverse Ideology sounds similar to the original when edited backwards.
**Her hair's streaks change pattern - the red switching to white during Impossible Spell Card - unlike reverse in Double Dealing Character.
**Her dress and collar with patterned arrows going down - black and grey arrows pointing down, while red arrows pointing up.
**The ribbon to her waist worn upside down.
**Her ability is to reverse anything.
**Her contrarian personality.
*She has been noticed by fans to have similarity to Ryūko Matoi, the protagonist from Kill la Kill, likely due to their hair (although Seija also has white streaks, while Ryuko has only red streak/s).
**Coincidentally, the Kill la Kill manga and Double Dealing Character were both produced in the same year (2013).
