As I recall, Hata no Kawakatsu did Matara-jin a favor by helping break up a cult dedicated to a rival of his (who Eternity is loosely based on). Maybe Okina's happy to see the "daughter" of the man she held gratitude towards?

I don't believe this is what ZUN has mind, he isn't the type to present a character (Kokoro) and after 4 years give them another piece of backstory. For example Mokou's father is probably Fujiwara no Fuhito, a man who may or may not is Hieda no Are, and Hieda no Are is Hieda no Akyu in Touhou (even a japanese artist made this connection), but ZUN never considerate this idea.
You have no idea what Zun intends :v I mean, you do realize that we got new info on Kasen, who's manga has been going on for 7 years? And we JUST NOW learned some very important information about her?
Yes, but Kasen, Kosuzu, ecc are manga's characters and they are differents from games' character, games' characters have very vague backstory, while mangas' characters haven't. This is because, ZUN want us fans put our imagination to fill the "gaps" in character backstory, Gensokyo is a fantasy land. For example, if ZUN give us Sakuya's backstory, just think about how many fans would be sad knowing their years spent writing Sakuya's story were thrown away. I think this count with all games' characters. This is because ZUN isn't type to do this.
ZUN's done that many times before, again, what are you talking about? Being from the manga doesn't make them any different, considering how much lore of other characters like Yukari and Yuyuko we actually get from them.
And let's add in the whole thing with Eternity Larva being potentially related to Okina as well, due to the Hata no Kawakatsu connection. You don't really think he does this stuff on accident, do you?
