Marisa is good friends with Reimu Hakurei and often hangs with her out at the Hakurei Shrine. Although it was originally Reimu’s job, Marisa also snatches requests for youkai extermination at her convenience. In addition to incidents, there are many scenes where they’re together, especially in the print works.

As the Hakurei shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei Yin-Yang Orbs, and is trained in youkai extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of channeling Gensokyo’s gods, but she isn’t well-trained enough to do so reliably.

Divine Arts “Omnidirectional Demon-Binding Circle”: Reimu creates a large, powerful barrier around herself. It binds both humans and youkai, limiting their movements, so they’re caught in the full force of the attack.

Cirno doesn’t look 60+ years old, but she’s been around for over 60 years. Yukari appears to be in her 20s, but her age is listed as 1,200+. Reimu’s been around for 5 years since ZUN described her as “mid-teens”, therefore she’s 5 years older.

Reimu Hakurei

Reimu Hakurei is the protagonist of the Touhou Project series, having appeared in all of the main games and in almost every game. As the sole maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, she is commonly called upon or calls it upon herself to investigate strange occurrences throughout Gensokyo.

(Touhou 8) Same as above, but her hair is dark brown and she has a red dress.

Their relationship in fan works is usually identified by Yukari playfully teasing or flirting with Reimu (as Yukari does poke fun at her a lot in the game), who often acts irritated or impatient with the advances but may become receptive to them eventually.

Sora No Amagumo has made a comic series most centered around Reimu with a few major changes: She’s a silent, kind adorable girl, a contrast from the more common surly Reimus out there. And this rendition is pretty popular on both parts of the fandom.

The drastic change in the color of Reimu’s skin tone over the course of the Windows games (most noticeable in Mountain of Faith, in which her skin appears yellowish and almost jaundiced) raised eyebrows and led to a number of jokes and dubious theories, the most common of which is that she’s actually an undead zombie .

Fans have noticed that Reimu has canonically yet to be defeated in battle, due to the fact defeating her will possibly cause the Hakurei Border to collapse. Thus, her personality has received a bit of negative reception due to this. Reimu has never been seen to get any donations at the Hakurei Shrine.
