Original Touhou character created after a LLM's hilarious mishap when attempting to describe Aya. Mascot of /2huAI/, /jp/'s AI General on 4chan.

Named Tenkai after the famous buddhist monk due to the Tengu's links to Buddhism in Japanese mythology. Also because Tenkai has "AI" in its' name.

She is a petite, small-breasted tengu girl with very long, often messy, curly pink hair. She wears round glasses over her red eyes, and one of them is covered with hair because SD has no depth perception. She is a crow tengu, so she has black wings and pointy ears.

Like many tengu, Tenkai wears a red tokin hat. She also dons a light blue japanese sleeveless dress with frilled armholes whose bottom turns into a frilled hakama skirt. Over the dress, she wears a red bowtie, red obi with a yellow obijime and a red back bow. Under it, she wears a chest sarashi and black pantyhose, together with brown, ribbon-trimmed high heel boots. She carries around with her a notebook and a pen, which she uses for her ability.

Alternatively, she may also instead wear a black reporter's cloak and a black newsboy cap.

She is a reporter with the ability to draw anything she sees at absurd speeds, but there will always be one very noticeable imperfection in everything she draws. This includes near-photorealistic drawings that could pass off as pictures if she so-desires.
Unlike Hatate, whose ability is not to "take" photographs, but to "discover" photographs, Tenkai is kind of a "living (albeit defective) camera". She's also not a recluse, so her articles are fresher than Hatate's. Her newspaper is called Truth Tenkai.
She's very dilligent and always makes it a point to tell the truth from a completely unbiased point of view with her journalism, however, she can't afford a camera, so she is forced to use her ability for her news articles. Despite always telling the truth, the imperfections in her images causes people to dismiss her articles as made-up baloney, so her Newspaper is very unpopular. Because she barely has any customers, she also can't gather enough money to actually buy a camera to solve this issue. It's a vicious cycle.

Due to relying on direct eyesight to draw, Tenkai's ability is a direct reference to img2img AI generation. Her eyeballs (or, well, eyeball since her other one is covered) are the input, her notebook is the output. Denoise level depends on how foggy her glasses are that day.

Her birthday is on the 21st of July.
