Finally, a completely original work. It's been a long time since I made something completely from scratch that I actually liked.

I composed this track as a musical theme for a character in a fanfiction story I'm writing. The series I'm writing for is known as the Touhou Project. It generally consists of a series of top down shooters made entirely by one person. Naturally, when composing this theme, I took a bit of influence from the music from the official games, even using an extremely similar trumpet instrument. The track is meant to be the character's battle theme, which I may possibly use in a small game project featuring her.

The track gives off a powerful but melancholy feel, with the techno/trance instruments serving to envoke a feeling of mystery (or at least that's what I thought). The track title was suggested by a friend of mine, based off the character that the theme belongs to. To explain why it fits is probably a bit of a long story.

Unfortunately, it probably gets too repetitive at times. I'll likely end up revisiting in the future. Despite this, I'm extremely pleased with how this turned out and I hope you all enjoy!
