Name: Marisa Kirisame
Source Canon: Touhou Project
Age: 17
Role In Canon: Main character
History: Touhouwiki article. Marisa is taken post Ten Desires.

Personality: Everything about Marisa screams out at you. She's boisterous, rowdy, and she enjoys poking her nose into other people's business. She is quite the showoff, and she thinks looking the part is very important. What's the point of being a witch if others can't tell you are one? Most of the spells she uses are flashy and loud: sure, a light spell's fine and useful, but a lantern or a candle does the same exact thing. Magic should be unique!

When it comes to her motives, Marisa does things for her own benefit. She investigates incidents purely to satisfy her curiosity or to see if there's anything good to grab. If something catches her eye, she takes it home, and if it belongs to someone else - well, she really couldn't give a damn. That's not to say she's selfish, or cold-hearted - she can and does help others out, but she simply prioritises her whims and desires above all.

Marisa is also very confident in herself and her abilities, and it is difficult to intimidate her. She's comfortable rubbing shoulders with some of the most powerful youkai in Gensokyo, most of whom could snap her spine like a twig, and she's best friends with someone who can float away from reality itself. She'll never back down from a challenge, no matter the stakes nor the terms, even if it would mean her loss. It's easy to see this as arrogance, but hey, opinions are like butts. They stink.

Despite her flashy image, Marisa is actually a very hard worker, though she tries hard to keep it a secret. It is rare for humans to be able to work magic, and her family descended from merchants, not warriors, so the lower level of innate spiritual power made things harder. Despite this, she persisted and managed to apprentice herself to a ghost named Mima, who taught her magic. Nowadays, she studies grimoires and tomes that she borrowed from Alice and Patchouli, fellow magicians. She doesn't like being cooped up in her house all day studying, but when she does, she doesn't want to be interrupted.

Abilities: Marisa is versed in magic and specialises in its destructive applications, though she has a little knowledge of other magical focuses. She is exceptionally skilled in danmaku, a way of resolving incidents in Gensokyo through magical non-lethal duels, where both opponents create spells of varying designs and projectile density. Marisa can't actually use her spells without a type of magical mushroom that she uses as a fuel, due to her innate lack of magical power.
