Due to Sakuya's background pre-Scarlet Devil Mansion being hinted at in two directions (or possibly both), much of her past is left to fanon. I am providing my guess as to her background here; it does not represent confirmed canon, only hints and fanon.
Sakuya Izayoi was born to the Lunarian Empire at an unknown time - at least long enough ago to be recognized by Eirin Yagokoro, which implies that she is over a millenium old. She was born with the ability to manipulate time and space (though she didn't discover this until she was twelve, when the ability was found by Imperial researchers). She was quickly put into service with the Empire, and ended up under the agency of Eirin Yagokoro. At some point, she was allowed to leave direct Imperial service, and went down to Earth. Unlike her master, she was not a target of hunting, implying she left in honorable conditions. Like all Lunarians, she was able to age without limit - in her case, however, her time control powers stunted her growth, leaving her appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen by human standards.
A long gap in the record stands here, until the seventeenth century of Earth, where she quickly grew to prominence as a hunter of vampires and other supernatural creatures, using her time control, combined with her talent for throwing knives, as powerful weapons for facing even mighty creatures of the night. This persisted (with her regularly changing identities to avoid her Lunarian nature coming out, but was a fairly successful hunter for a very long time...
... Until her encounter with Remilia Scarlet. It's not known precisely why, nor how events went the night in question, but Sakuya wound up swearing herself to the service of the vampire family. It is known that Remilia can manipulate people's fates, and may have sealed Sakuya's fate to gain control over her. Some beliefs in vampires allow for other means of gaining influence, as well... Though it's not believed that these were used, as Sakuya's loyalty does have some limits.
Setting Information: Setting of Touhou Project is already covered fully.
Portal Location: Near the human village (Sakuya ran into it while shopping).
