On your visit to the Hakurei Shrine, you walk through the front door and the doma to find a small black bowl with a golden pattern sitting on top of the table. It stands out because of its refined appearance, so you can't help but stare at it for a few seconds before it starts shaking slightly and a figure hops out of it. A purple-haired girl, a bit more than a dozen centimeters tall meets your gaze. She's wearing a saucer on her head and wielding a needle as if it were a sword, a fascinating sight to behold. But the inches-tall girl speaks up before you can say anything about it. "Are you visiting the shrine? I'm staying here temporarily due to... Circumstances. I'll tell Reimu you came if I see her later." The Inchling gets into her bowl again, her head peeking out to stare at you in curiosity. But it's clear she doesn't like to draw attention to herself, and most of all when it's about her obvious small frame, the proper for her species.
