"An air superiority fighter with high firepower, this new shrine maiden is a serious threat."
-Shanghai Alice aircraft company-

Kochiya Sanae from Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith

The 073-KS Green Snake is an air superiority fighter with high maneuverability thanks to the 4 massive stabilizers and the offset engines. According to Shanghai Aircraft company and Shameimaru Aya, during the dogfight between Sanae and Reimu, Sanae hit both Reimu's left wing and horizontal stabilizer by performing a near-stall pitch*, causing Reimu to had a hard time controlling her plane, she also intentionally nearly hit Reimu 4 more times, and when Sanae got hit by Reimu's bullet, she was hit in an area that didn't affect anything, then she decided it was enough so she just left the dogfight and return to her 2 gods, Sanae temporarily defeated Reimu without using any of her missiles. This jet belongs to Kochiya Sanae, it's the 9th jet and also one of the most powerful jets in the Mountain of Faith pack.

*Near-stall pitch: The four stabilizers push the rear of the aircraft down extremely hard, causing the entire aircraft to rotate making the aircraft pitch/turn in a circle with an extremely small radius, that also make the angle of attack very high, so high that it can cause the aircraft to stall at any moment, it's basically like a j-turn but without thrust vectoring.

Character's introduction:
Sanae Kochiya is a human, but is also a distant descendant of the goddess Suwako Moriya. Her role at the Moriya Shrine is similar to a shrine maiden, but with her inherited power Sanae has also become a minor deity herself. Originally from the Outside World, Sanae migrated to Gensokyo with the shrine and its two resident goddesses, Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya. As a result, she is rather knowledgeable about the outside world and modern living, although her attempts to explain scientific concepts usually just confuse the locals. Her knowledge on things like the youkai of Gensokyo, on the other hand, seems a bit lacking for a shrine maiden.
Sanae was first introduced in Mountain of Faith as the stage 5 boss, reappeared as the extra stage midboss of Subterranean Animism and later became a playable character in Undefined Fantastic Object, Touhou Hisoutensoku, Ten Desires, Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom and Unconnected Marketeers. She is a secondary character in the comic Wild and Horned Hermit.
