Reimu Hakurei HRtP
Translated
Heroine, Reimu Hakurei

Shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, she has some spirit-power by nature, but lacks training. Her weapon is mighty Yin-Yang orb, but her control is somewhat unstable.
But anyway, with her spirit-power, she got quite some skills.
Her usual attacks -namely amulet-attacks, spirit-power discharging (霊撃 -Spirit strike-), and melee skills- are useless to current enemies. She's in some trouble.
Currently, she's the only person in the shrine.

This time, she (somehow) fights riding on the turtle.

Reimu Hakurei

The shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine. Talented, but lacks training. Basically, she doesn't like to train. They say she has fought plenty of magicians, evil spirits, youkai and even gods with her strong spiritual power (for no particular reason).
She's always involved in some strange affairs, though she seems to be dragged into most of them due to Marisa. Reimu pretends not to notice this. She sees Marisa as essentially a hopeless case.


Embodiment of Scarlet Devil - Manual[]

Reimu Hakurei EoSD
Translated
Eternal Shrine Maiden, Reimu Hakurei

Shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, and protagonist of the Touhou series. She appears quite carefree on the outside, and indeed deep down, she really is carefree. She lives in her shrine and is rarely visited by anyone, which causes her to be out of touch with current social norms. Even though she only extinguished certain sparks of conflict because they seemed to befall her without warning, her actions have generally resulted in preventing the residents of Gensokyo from visiting human settlements, and keeping outsiders away from wandering into Gensokyo.

Charms and the ying-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly.

Abilities: Able to fly, and to manipulate natural spirits.

The protagonist.

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

Unintentionally, she is a shrine maiden. Or rather, she is a shrine maiden only because the Touhou series has become the "Shrine Maiden Shooting Game" series. It feels like the cart has been placed before the horse to me.

This time, her outfit is not overly intricate like typical shrine maiden clothing, but has become quite simple and only remotely resembles that of a shrine maiden. Is she really a shrine maiden?

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

Wonderful Shrine Maiden of Paradise, Reimu Hakurei

Hakurei Shrine's shrine maiden, and the protagonist. Her mind might appear normal, but in fact it is full of spring thoughts.
The shrine is always haunted by youkai, and they are very friendly to Reimu as well.
She is hardly filling the role of a shrine maiden at this point.
She hates training, and because of this, lacks ability. So her skill is quite so-so.
She hates to do her very best at anything that falls upon her.
That is because she does not believe that effort will be rewarded.
Because of that, the Hakurei Shrine's paper fortune doesn't have "末吉(Least luck)"
[Typically, a shrine's paper fortune has 大吉 (Best luck) / 中吉 (Medium luck) / 小吉 (Little luck) / 末吉 (Least luck) / 凶 (Misfortune) / 大凶 (Worst misfortune). 末吉 is usually interpreted as "You will get exactly as your effort"]

Charms and the yin-yang orb are her weapons. Additionally, she has the ability to fly.

She has a smaller hit box, and her focused movement allows player to dodge very precisely.
Spirit 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" wields destructive power of the highest class.
Bosses are killed quickly, but the invincibility duration of her bombs is the shortest of all characters. It is also lacking in both effective radius and damage.

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 on the boundary of Gensokyo.
The Hakurei Shrine exists in both Gensokyo and the world of humans at the same time.
The boundary is the home territory of the Hakurei Shrine. From both sides, it is located at a very remote place from human villages, and is also kind of small, and has no known history or benefits. So it's no wonder that it rarely gets any visitors.
Inside the shrine, almost all foreign boundaries will be nullified. That alone should say that the Hakurei Boundary, the boundary between Gensokyo and the world of humans, is amazingly powerful.

Only members of the Hakurei clan have rules to follow in Gensokyo. Therefore, Reimu always wears clothes that is apparently some kind of uniform (she is supposed to have many other rules too, though...). Her daily routine consists of wearing red-white, staring at Gensokyo's sky from the edge of Gensokyo, and drinking tea.

Originally, Reimu had several various mysterious powers, but she neither uses them nor boasts about them. It's kind of a laid-back attitude.

Reimu Hakurei

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

A typical shrine maiden from Hakurei Shrine. She always lives on ideas off the top of her head, and doesn't consider something seriously. The only thing she does that actually resembles a shrine maiden's duties is enjoying tea and life on the veranda.

She is quite simple-minded, thus when she's angry she's angry, and when she smiles she smiles. Her open personality makes her well-liked by both humans and youkai. Due to that, many people stay close to the shrine.

She lacks training in both melee and spells (or rather, she rarely does them), but she covers that up with the numerous talents she's born with. So she's quite tough, enough to make you wonder if she's really a human. While she warps or uses guided shots, it's all straight from her perspective. Mean shrine maiden.


Imperishable Night - Manual[]

Wonderful Shrine Maiden of Paradise, Reimu Hakurei

Hakurei Shrine's Shrine Maiden.
A human that lives on the boundary. She has the ability to fly.

She is the shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, which is located at the edge of Gensokyo and (possibly) has ancient and honourable origins.
She is emotional and noisy, and has a presence wherever she is, but she merges into her surroundings quite easily.
Her ability is being able to fly, that is, being weightless.
The gravity of Earth, any level of stress, and threats of power all have no effect on her.
Both her mind and body float in the sky of fantasy, a truly mysterious shrine maiden.
However intimidating the opponent is, that doesn't matter to her.
As she evens out whatever status one has, she tends to attract anyone regardless of species, human or youkai.

Her weapons are amulets and a Yin-Yang orb. She is also preferred by mosquitoes.

Notes
She teams with Yukari this time.
Focused speed only applies when she is used as a solo character.
She lacks a bit in damage, but is quite easy to use and doesn't need much memorization.
She is quite strong, especially against smaller enemies.
In other words, cheap.

Reimu Hakurei

Species: Human
Ability: Mainly the ability 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 youkai. On the flip side, she doesn't treat anyone especially well and doesn't think of anyone as "special". While she's often seen with a wide assortment of humans and youkai, and does get along with them, she's actually 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...

She's the kind of shrine maiden that is ever-so-carefree and doesn't think about anything
Whenever a disturbance occurs, she would immediately rush to resolve it. Nevertheless, she would never manage to rid herself of all disturbances around her.
Rather, it might be the case that she attracts disturbances to herself.

The miko we are all familiar with. She's the miko of Hakurei Shrine, located on the boundary of Gensokyo.

She has always been able to bring incidents to closure with her intuitions, but she has not the slightest idea of the cause of this flower incident.
In multiplayer games such as this installment of the Touhou Series, it's hard to pinpoint which character is the main character. However, even though Reimu doesn't stand out at all, why does she always look like one?

The Shrine Maiden of Paradise - Reimu Hakurei

The now-familiar shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine.

She treats everyone basically the same way.
However, since her job is hunting youkai,
She takes a fairly strict stance against youkai,
But she's basically equally uninterested in humans and youkai.

This time there's a rebellion around God.
She may be God's spokesperson,
But her circumstances as a youkai hunter are different, so she feels a bit lost.

Her weapons are amulets and yin-yang balls. Her piety seems light.

Her fighting style generally relies on equipment that lends a sense of stability.

Representative of the Eight Million, Hakurei Reimu

The normally calm humans and the always-energetic youkai are both in a state of excitement. Their blood is boiling for one reason. From here on, the shrine maiden and her rivals will be battling it out. Emerge victorious in this battle, and acquire unwavering popularity!

Special skill: Law of Universal Spirit Power

Reimu's spirit power guage is longer than the other characters', so her maximum spirit power is increased. She can use more ranged attacks and special attacks, and even if she loses some spirit power while guarding attacks, she'll still have more in supply. Last Word: Fantasy Nature

Reimu adopts a stance, and by taking an enemy melee attack, she creates an opening, and then surrounds the enemy with massive amounts of ofuda and annihilates them in her most powerful attack. If it is at point-blank range, guarding against it is impossible, so it is also easy to wear down and flatten opponents fearful of the counter.

Her weapon's called a purification rod, but its formal name is the oonusa.
It chases enemies on its own to purify them, but since its homing speed is somewhat bad,
she has more success carrying it up to the enemies and then throwing it.

Somehow, it doesn't seem to be very satisfactory as a purification rod.
