mass update sendai_hakurei_no_miko m.u.g.e.n -> sendai_hakurei_no_miko_(m.u.g.e.n)
mass update sendai_hakurei_no_miko osana_reimu -> sendai_hakurei_no_miko_(osana_reimu)
create implication sendai_hakurei_no_miko_(m.u.g.e.n) -> sendai_hakurei_no_miko
create implication sendai_hakurei_no_miko_(osana_reimu) -> sendai_hakurei_no_miko

I'm using the reveal of the Foul Detective Satori Hakurei to jump in and disambiguate the sendai hakurei no miko tag. Currently, it's used for multiple different fan designs that sometimes but not always overlap.

For now, what I'm doing is pulling out the two most common depictions into their own tags, and leaving the existing tag as a catch-all for both them and any other versions that people create.

This'll probably still need a follow-up tagthrough to make sure all the MUGEN sendais are tagged correctly, but I'm happy to do that once this goes through.

I will need a guide on how to differentiate the different versions of Hakurei Miko.

Mugen Sendai: Very long, usually black hair, wearing a black leotard under her clothes, and a red singlet-like thing on top. Almost always wearing hakama, commonly with exaggerated hip vents. Usually depicted as a physical hand-to-hand brawler and thus heavily scarred; if she's carrying a tool, it's usually very explicitly a weapon. Often depicted with an exaggerated ahoge as well.

Osana Sendai: Long, usually brown hair, often looking just like an aged-up version of her matching Reimu, with identical clothing and larger versions of her accessories (though not to the FDS Miko's level). Wears a variety of novelty masks; if you see a Sendai with a mask on, it's usually at least an osana sendai shoutout. Also often paired with an EX Rumia.

Exceptions, fusions, and entirely different designs all exist, but these two are the most prominent and consistently seen.

remove alias hakurei_miko -> sendai_hakurei_no_miko

While I don't really have many thoughts on giving a fan chartag subtags outside of "if we must", I think something more pertinent is the alias the tag has. Sendai Hakurei no Miko was originally just Hakurei Miko, and in light of the new character, it would make sense to remove that alias, whether it be so that it can be deprecated or so that it can be used for the new character.

Deprecation is the better idea, Sendai, while not official, is older and more well known.

There's a case to be made that 'hakurei miko' as a general outfit tag like police_uniform. I don't think it's a very good case, and there's eighty-two thousand reasons just related to reimu alone why that tag would be hell to implement, but it is technically a case to be made.

hakurei_miko already brings up the tag anyway thanks to the autocomplete.
