Sanae Kochiya
「奇跡を起こす程度の能力」

Where to start
EIGHT PICKSThe catalog comes from a three-round retrieval effort, with synopses and evidence grades. These eight are what the editor would hand you first:
Every entry carries two keys:
Role (A Sanae lead / B OC viewpoint / C ensemble episode / V unverified) and Evidence (T text verified / S blurb / I index only / X inaccessible / O prior synopsis).
For "first-person Sanae leads," look for A + T; for Kogasa and Sanae, filter the theme tag.

Sanae Moriya (b. 1945), 78th head of the Shinchōkan family of Suwa Taisha: an elementary-school principal turned environmental lecturer. Her family kept the shrine for a millennium, until Meiji.
Moriya Shrine, Okaya, Nagano
The ancient war between gods Moreya and Takeminakata is the prototype of the "Suwa Great War" spell cards. In 2017, Asahi Shimbun covered the Touhou pilgrims.
From gentle miko to "S-mae"
Three turning points of her fan portrayal: SA's "don't be captive to common sense," UFO's sadistic streak, and March 7's "Zettai Yuru Sanae."
