Description I saw some others doing it so might as well upload mine. I made this 1st of February using [link] (the updated version). IT RANDOMLY GOES DOWN SO BE PATIENT, use the older version [link] if you're not.

I pasted it into a word document and then later edited it on February 5th.

Anyways thanks for the idea barbakki!

It seems like there isn't enough information for some interesting conversations so I'm going to list the reasons why my top 5 characters are there. (I might edit in more if I have the time).

1: Yukari/Maribel
I've always liked Yukari, mastermind and protector of Gensokyo. Then this came along: [link] and now Maribel is tied for first place. Yukari plays a LARGE part in my fanfic so I have her personality mostly figured out: calm, sharp, plotting, secretive, and subtle but in the inside is extremely protective, looks out for others, and empathetic.

2: Patchouli
The smart book reader who's powerful but frail at the same time. If it weren't for her asthma... Her canon personality fits her the best. I like smart magicians, especially when they have ALL THE ELEMENTS under their control. ROYAL FLARE!!!!

3: Momiji
Tonari no Mo-miji Mo-mi-JI~! OK! (you get some cake if you get the reference). 1: Sword and shield. She's the type of person (wolf?) who jumps straight into things, and then fumbles up, leading to Aya having to help her (and her being embarrassed in the process). In my fanfic she eventually develops into a strategist who carefully thinks actions through in order to ensure the well being of her troops, and she gets amazing with her sword skills.

4: Nitori
Nitori, the engineering genius in Gensokyo. Famous for creating wacky new tools and machinery. I see her as the tomboy mechanic, always wanting to build something that helps make life easier; or cool new magitek laser guns and lightsabers. I love technology in general so this was a no-brainer.

5: Youmu
The shy, socially awkward, duel wielding katana girl who has anger management issues that protects and serves Yuyuko. She is very clumsy and falls prey to Yuyuko's jokes. She trains hard so that one day she might go out to find her missing mentor and uncle. I like her serious, easy to upset and infuriate personality that goes very well with Yuyuko's carefree and whimsy personality, which is why these two are such a great pair.

I know this was long and contained headcanon, but hopefully this will lead to others posting why they like their characters. For me it's very interesting to see other's opinions on their own favorite characters.

Lol this was long. Long enough to warrant a:

Aran over and out~!

Yukari: the most overused choice for favorite Touhou character.

I was looking at yours, and it looks very short ^^. If you didn't have 'Select All' checked off on the site then you might be missing a few characters. If you're talking about how I got it all like that, I copied the entire list and pasted it into word. I then formatted it (horizontal, centered, smaller font, picture size, etc...). I'm also using an updated version of the Touhou sort [link] (it goes down randomly though) so that's why I have the three pictures (and the TD characters). Hopefully that answers your question.

Hate to be rude but, could you explain the whole 'format it to Word' please? Because I don't understand ANY of it, and I'm trying to make one.

Maybe I should make a tutorial, it's not that complicated, but I'm not sure if I can explain it well.

After you finish your sort, a long list appears at the bottom. Highlight the entire list and hit ctrl-c. Then open a word document and hit ctrl-v. You should have a table, if not check to see if you pasted it with 'keep source formatting' (a little pop-up appears with this clipboard on it). If it's still not a table, make sure you selected the table on the website, not the text.

I then highlighted the entire table and then went into the paragraph settings. There under the 'spacing' section I changed 'before' and 'after' to '0 pt' and 'line spacing' to 'single'. I then centered the text. Next I changed the page orientation to 'landscape' and changed the # of columns to 4. Finally I resized the pictures and changed the font size so that all of it fits on 1 page.

As a custom finishing touch I acquired the picture for Maribel and fitted it into the portrait with Yukari and changed the label (and added a line). I then corrected all the numbers b/c I manually moved Maribel up to one (she was at 40 something).

Hopefully that wasn't so complicated :/.

Okay...then how are you able to put a word document into an editing software like Paint?

I used something called 'AndySnap' to take a screenshot. If you don't have that the standard PrintScreen button should work.

I think that's what everybody else is doing, which is why they are all short X|.
