Fun Facts

  • Reimu might be eternal...? It's implied by one song from Highly Responsive to Prayers, "Eien no Miko" (永遠の巫女). Either way, with her lively personality there's no sign she'll die anytime soon.
  • Reimu's yin-yang exhibits some strange powers, aside from helping her attack her enemies. The greatest powers of the Hakurei yin-yang are:
    1. Even if you eat sweets, you won't get fat
    2. A favorite aroma can be given off
    3. The yin-yang can be disguised as a cat

  • Eternal Shrine Maiden, Reimu Hakurei

Shrine Maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, and the protagonist of Touhou series. While she looks like easygoing, in the truth, she is quite easygoing.
She lives in the shrine that rarely anyone visits there, that makes her very unworldly.
She thinks that she is only wiping sparks that falls upon her, but her roll results in preventing habitant of Gensokyo from visiting human's villages, and keeping outsiders away from wondering into Gensokyo.

Amulets and Ying-Yang orb are her weapons. She also has ability that can fly.

  • Eternal Shrine Maiden

Reimu Hakurei

Ability: Able to fly, and Numinous Power.

The protagonist.

Chronologically this title is not far from previous title, thus her age stays same to before.

Unpurposely, she is a Shrine Maiden. Or rather, she is shrine maiden because Touhou series are Shrine Maiden Shooting Game. It's like upside-down.
Her new cloth is not glitter like usual shrine maiden cloth is, it's quite simple and remotely resembles shrine maiden. Is she really a Shrine Maiden?

She's more like "You, red-white!" in my opinion.

 ○楽園の素敵な巫女 博麗 霊夢(はくれいれいむ)
  博麗神社の巫女さんで主人公。頭が普通そうだが、実は春満開。
  神社は常に妖怪が跋扈していて、霊夢も妖怪達に馴染まれている。
  割と巫女としての機能を持ち合わせていない。
  修行嫌いでもちろん修行不足のため、そこそこの腕前である。
  全ての物事に対し、一生懸命取り組むことを嫌う。
  努力が報われることなど信じていないからである。
  その為、博麗神社のおみくじには末吉はない。

  武器は御札と陰陽玉。あとは、空を飛ぶ程度の能力を持つ。

   当たり判定が小さく、低速移動も非常に精度が良い。
   霊符の「博麗アミュレット」は使い勝手が良い。弾避けに専念するための武器。
   一方、夢符の「エクスターミネイション」は最高クラスの破壊力を持つ。
   ボスを瞬殺出来るが、ボムの無敵時間は全キャラ中最短。攻撃範囲も威力も無い。

  • Shrine Maiden in the Paradise, Reimu Hakurei

Hakurei Shrine's Shrine Maiden, and protagonist. Her brain appears like normal, but in fact it's full of spring-like thought.
The shrine is always haunted by youkais, and they're very friendly to Reimu as well.
That makes her hardly filling the role of being a Shrine Maiden.
She hates training, and of course lacks training. So her skill is quite so-so.
She hates to do her very best at anything that falls upon her.
That's due to she doesn't believe in the theory of effort will be reworded.
Because of that, Hakurei Shrine's paper fortune doesn't have "末吉".

Amulets and the Ying-Yang orb are her weapon. Add on that, she has ability that is able to fly.

She has smaller hit-box, and her focused movement allows player to dodge very precisely.
Numen Sign's "Hakurei Amulet" is quite easy to use. It allows you to focus on dodging bullets.
On the other hand, Dream Sign's "Extermination" is at top of damage dealing in all playables.
It can even kill bosses instantly, but invulnerable-time from bomb is shortest of all characters, and also lacks in both effective radius and damage.

  • Shrine Maiden in the Paradise

Reimu Hakurei

Her main ability allows her to fly in the sky.

Basically, she is a shrine maiden. The Shrine Maiden of Hakurei Shrine, which is located at edge of Gensokyo.
Hakurei Shrine exists in both Gensokyo and outside at the same time.
The boundary is precincts of the shrine. From both side, it's located at most remote place from human village, and also is kinda small, and has no known history or benefits. So it's no wonder that it rarely gets any visitor.
Inside the shrine, almost all border/barrier will be nullified. That says how the power of the Hakurei Border, the border between outside and Gensokyo, is strong.

Only members of Hakurei has rule to follow in Gensokyo. Due to that, Reimu always wear clothes that apparently is some kind of uniform (She's supposed to have many other rule too, though...).
Her daily life consists of wearing Red-White, and drinking tea while staring at Gensokyo's sky from edge of Gensokyo.

Originally, Reimu has several mysterious power, but she neither showoff nor take advantage from that. It's kind of let everything as really is.

  • Shrine Maiden in the Paradise

Reimu Hakurei

Species: Human
Location: Hakurei Shrine
Ability: Able to fly in the sky

Usual shrine maiden from Hakurei Shrine. She always live on ideas from right off the top of her head, and doesn't consider something seriously. Only thing she do that actually resembles shrine maiden is, enjoying tea and carefully life at veranda.

She is quite simple minded, thus when she's angry she's angry, and when she smiles she smiles. Her hiding-nothing personality makes her well-liked by both humans and youkais. Due to that, many people stays closely to the shrine.

She lacks training in both melee and chants (or rather should I say she rarely does), but she covers that up with numerous talent she's born with. So she's quite tough, enough to makes you suspect that if she's really a human. While she warps or use guided shots, it's all straight from her perspective. Mean shrine maiden.

  博麗神社の巫女さん。
  境界に住む人間。空を飛ぶ程度の能力を持つ。

  幻想郷の境にある(恐らく)由緒正しき博麗神社の巫女さん。
  感情的で騒々しく、どんな場所でも存在感があるのだが、すぐに馴染む。
  彼女の能力は空を飛ぶこと、つまり無重力。
  地球の重力も、如何なる重圧も、力による脅しも、彼女には全く意味が無い。
  身も心も、幻想の宙をふわふわと漂う不思議な巫女である。
  相手がどんなに強大だとしても、彼女の前では意味をなさない。
  相手の肩書きを平坦化する彼女は、時として人間、妖怪、種族を選ばず惹きつける事もある。

  武器は御札と陰陽玉。虫にも刺されやすい。

    備考
    今回は八雲紫と組む。
    低速移動は単独使用時のみの性能である。
    威力が若干劣る事もあるが基本的に使いやすく、敵の場所を覚える必要も少ない。

Species: Human
Ability: Mainly able to fly through the sky

As usual, the shrine maiden you all know. She lives in the Hakurei Shrine located at the boundary that separates Gensokyo from the outer world. The shrine simultaneously exists in both worlds.

She treats everyone fairly and equally, which makes her well-liked by even the most terrifying youkais. On the flip side, she doesn't treat anyone especially well and doesn't hold anyone "special". While she's often seen with a wide assortment of humans and youkai, and does get along with them, she's truly alone in her heart. She may be kind of cold-hearted...

The shrine maiden you all know.

The morning that she was expecting to see after a full night's sleep did not greet her. She thought that something very strange was going on, so she left the shrine to investigate. It's not unusual for her to go out at night, but going out at midnight just after having taken a full night's rest was most unusual. Anyway, nights always make her sleepy, so she'll be going back to bed once the issue is resolved. She followed a trace of power into a bamboo forest, and what she found were very familiar faces...
