Probably Kogasa for Youkai, she was entrusted with looking after human children at some point so that signals a lot.

>humans
Kosuzu, Keine or Akyuu (geographically and occupationally likely to be available and amiable).
>non-humans
Fairies (non-threatening, curious, naive). Failing that, Sekibanki (if you can spot her) or Kogasa (if you don't mind jumpscares) due to them hanging around the Human Village. Kyouko would be easy to approach, thanks to Myourenji being fairly open about races mingling, but holding a conversation might prove difficult. If you manage to catch Reimu in the Human Village, you may be able to get her talking as well. The girl isn't the most complicated spirit in the world.

That said, I would think Futo would be about the friendliest, however, provided you can reach her.

>>14794775
She will "train" you. By that, I mean she will give meaningless tasks that may kill you. And then when you're finished, she'll just laugh and walk away.

Are we forgetting about her? She comes from the human world after all. She also seems the curious and friendly type.
Also, weren't onis supposed to be self-declared friends of humans, or was that non-canonical? Not like Suika would deny a drink from anyone, human, or not. Same with Yuugi if she happens to be in the outside world for whatever reason.

Apparently she likes humans. Maybe she likes being part of a society and the human village fitted her needs the best. Maybe the short-lived nature of humans fascinates her and makes her want to know more of such weird creatures. Maybe she just likes pulling pranks on them. Either way, she enjoys human company at least to some extent.

Junko made fairies into something that drove out lunarian scum.
I would also consider begging Yukari to make you her shikigami. Humans are just smart animals, you could probably become stronger than Ran who was just a fox.

>>14795091
Becoming Yukari's Shikigami would be a sad existence. Like, she cherishes Ran in the same terms people cherishes, say, their compute or cell phone, not as an actual being.

Reisen isnt approachable at all. She avoids humans, and wears a disguise to sell medicine in the village. She would probably run off the moment she see's you.
Even if you talk to her, the conversation would be difficult given
>In addition, her voice is said to have unusual effects as well. For example, you may be unable to perceive what she's saying even if you hear her perfectly, or you may hear her as if she were whispering into your ears, even though she's far away.

>>14795106
I know, but if you want power it wouldnt matter much.
Besides, afterwards you could always try to leave (if she lets you is another matter). Failing that, you can atleast get along with Ran due to being in the same situation, which honestly isnt too bad given how much Yukari sleeps.

This is why I dont understand Kasen pretending to be human and hanging around humans. Humans are boring.
I also dont get why Marisa hasnt gone full Magician yet. Eating and sleeping are inconvenient wastes of time, especially sleeping, and who wants to get old?

Maybe it's becuase she was born in such a world, but she isnt making the most of it.

>>14795158
I think I could become the one human she hates. Purely becuase I wouldnt drop the oni stuff until she admitted it. It's obvious, why keep pretending, just admit you're a fucking oni.
It's going to be great when Zun reveals she was a human all along, and just a huge oniboo.

Speaking of all this, what about Sakuya?
She does appear at the human village every so often to run errands.
She does distance herself from people but its never explicitly stated that she hates them.

They do need to keep up their training, since they are tested by hell's assassins every now and again. As other anons noted, everything else might be optional

Oni are still youkai, and youkai still eat humans.
The only ones I dont see doing this are magcians who dont need to eat, and herbivore beast youkai like rabbits.
Naybe Ran given she could probably live off fried tofu.

I always wondered how many of the humanlike youkai would eat people. Do they kill you and cut you up to cook you, or do they have insanely powerful jaws and just eat you like a man high on bath salts.

>>14795655
Can an oni even become a hermit/celestial?

>>14795665
Youkai does not need to eat humans as long as humans believe in their existence. That's why they prefer creating incidents and "attacking" / danmaku with humans.

Eating humans is what low level youkai does. Higher level youkai knows better , since eating humans is like killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Eating humans = less people that believe in your existence = less spirituality flowing

>>14795667
Byakuren said something about Tengu hermits. Oni hermits is not far fetched.

>>14795697
I thought Yukari ate humans?

>>14795701
I figured that was for whatever religion tengu follow.
I'm not saying they cant be religious, but a celestial would count as a youkai imo, it's a supernatural thing that isnt human. So I just dont think a youkai could become one, because that would undermine what the youkai is.

>>14795703
Yukari spirit away outside world loners / suicidal men etc for youkai in Gensokyo. She's not eating humans from the human village. Humans in the human village are like cattle and a major source of spirituality everyday.

>>14795716
The point remains that youkai eat humans, regardless of their "level". Some youkai may make exceptions for certain humans (i.e., anyone from the village) but that doesn't change the fact that humans as a species are still on their menu.

>>14795716
|Yes she doesnt eat those humans, but she may still eat outsiders.

Nice fanon you fucking secondaries.
Only Keine and Mokou would be remotely approachable.

>This is due to the rumor that the truth behind the voices of the yamabiko are just the reflections of sound starting to spread among the humans of the village, so the number of humans who shout to them in the mountains has decreased. With many yamabiko losing their purpose in life, it seems they naturally became extinct.
Fuck Gensokyo. One of the cutes, most gentle youkai of all, and they disbelieve them to extinction. Meanwhile various unlikable, shit tier youkai like Parsee, Seija, Nazrin, etc can hang around.

Seija loves what others hate, and hates what they love. She also likes being hated and hates making people happy. She's an edgelord, hipster hybrid.
Nazrin supposedly has an ego, while also being cowardly. Meaning she's annoying and unlikable.

Kyouko on the other hand is kind, cheerful and gentle. Just being around her would help cheer you up. I feel very bad for the yamabiko going extinct. Byakuren isnt helping teaching youkai not to harass humans, they need to do that to survive. It's like watching a 2d version of Jonestown and we cant save any of them.
