The fox she is possessing is an entirely separate being, but since it never comes to surface, there's no problem in thinking of Ran as a nine-tailed fox herself. Ran's true identity is that of a shikigami possessing a youkai fox, or youko ( 妖狐, "mystic fox"). She may also be seen in the Human Village shopping for tofu. In her spare time, Ran often calculates various things such as the width of the Sanzu River. Apparently, Ran's own shikigami, Chen, is too unreliable to be entrusted with doing chores. Perhaps the way Chen also spins around is related to this.Īs Yukari's shikigami, Ran must do whatever Yukari commands her to do, such as doing Yukari's chores or checking the Great Hakurei Barrier around Gensokyo for problems. Ran usually appears as a means for Yukari to attack, so when she flies, she often spins around. She's likely able to use various other kinds of sorcery as a strong youkai, but since she pretty much never acts alone, this too is unclear. One of her spellcards shows that she is capable of quickly increasing her physical capabilities, but other than this, nothing else about her other abilities have really come to light. At this point, the shikigami of Gensokyo have been often likened to the PCs of the outside world.
It seems to be her specialty to process formulated calculations than invent new things through her intellect. According to Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, she was somehow able to formulate and prove an equation for figuring out the width of the Sanzu River. She has super-human intellect equal to Yukari's, and excels at mathematics. Because of this, she sometimes has to lure Chen with catnip to make her listen. Also, although she's not able to go against what Yukari says, this doesn't mean that Chen perfectly listens to what Ran says. However, Chen has the same level of wisdom that a child does, perhaps because Ran does not have the level of power that Yukari has, or perhaps because Ran's own power of turning youkai into a medium wasn't enough. She has the privilege of strong youkai being able to use shikigami while also being a shikigami herself. Because of this, Yukari punished Ran to remind her who the master is. Although Ran is a shikigami, she sometimes "forgets" her position as a servant and acts of her own volition, such as deciding to attack the heroine in Perfect Cherry Blossom to avenge Chen. Ran is described as being a gentle youkai who won't start a fight unless provoked. She frequently appears as an attack option in the fighting games for Yukari, and appeared in Imperishable Night as part of Yukari's shot. She has a strong midboss image, but even as an extra boss, she demonstrated abilities that were nothing to be ashamed of through a long and difficult battle. Ran first appeared as the extra stage boss of Perfect Cherry Blossom and then as the Phantasm stage midboss in the same game.

She was supposed to be strong? Wait, she's your shikigami? Aren't you a shikigami yourself?" She has recovered, and grown stronger than before."
