Characters You Play/Have Played in Thusia: N/A
Will You Need a DW Code?: No
IC:
Character Name: Reimu Hakurei
Canon: Touhou
AU/OC/Previous Game: No.
Age: ~17 years old
Appearance: Reimu wears a traditional shrine maiden outfit with detached sleeves, colored primarily red and white. Around her neck is a yellow bow. Since she flies around a lot, chest bindings are required so she doesn’t show everything off to the world if she flips into the wrong position. Her dark, brown hair extends past her shoulders and she keeps loose, except for two sections of hair on either side of her face and a ribbon on the top of her head.
Cause of Death: Reimu has a very dangerous line of work. Unfortunately, nearly every cause of death would have to involve a castmate so it's easier to say that she can't remember what killed her but she'll probably blame some kind of youkai or another.
Impact of Death: Reimu would be extremely irritated. She wasn't supposed to die and killing humans was clearly against the rules. Inwardly, she would be rather worried about Gensokyo being completely gone because, as far as she knows, Gensokyo can't exist without a Hakurei.

Character Info:
It should be stated that Reimu is the main character of Touhou and is in every game. Every single one. But Reimu started out a pretty blessed life. Born to a Hakurei Shrine Maiden, her parents are suddenly nowhere to be found so it's probably safe to assume that they're dead. Most of her life was most likely lived alone and most of what she knows about being a Shrine Maiden was either learned on her own or taught to her by Yukari, an eternally living friend of all Hakurei Shrine Maidens. Somewhere around her first incidents she attempted to solve, she became friends with Marisa Kirisame, a witch who seemed to join her. And thus began her life of generally chilling at the Shrine and beating up youkai who stepped beyond their bounds. Along the way, she made a few more friends and met some people she didn't mind spending time with.
Out of all the characters in the Touhou games, Reimu is most well known for treating everyone equally, regardless of who they are or what they are. Though, equally doesn’t mean she treats people well. She’s actually a bit brusque and slightly rude, commonly being indifferent to concerns of others but certain plights do gain her sympathy. Her equality, though, is what makes her endearing to others because she doesn’t antagonize youkai but neither does she consider herself superior to humans. Even though she gets along with nearly everyone except those who antagonize her frequently, she doesn’t have many friends, with Marisa and Yukari being the closest to her. Reimu does take her job of 'exterminating youkai' to pretty extreme levels, taking no sympathy on youkai who she thinks has taken part in wrong doing.
She also very carefree and wears her heart on her sleeve. This makes her a rather dangerous person since the majority of other characters are sly or are doing something behind their smiles. If Reimu smiles, she is genuinely happy and is genuinely mad when she scowls. But carefree also carries over into work. She’s a shrine maiden pretty much only in name. The only shrine maiden-like things she does is sit on a veranda and drink tea. Things like working for the betterment of others is simply not considered by her but she does follow most of the rules.
Speaking of working, Reimu doesn’t do it in any large amounts. She’s a firm believer in the fact that hard work does not bring off any better results than little work will do. This leaves her fairly low in skill level all across the board but, compared to some of her closer friends, is actually a bit better at melee combat than them. She doesn’t train or practice in any appreciable amount. She gained all the power she has through the innate talent she was born with, making her pretty good at almost anything she tries her hand at, cementing her belief that hard work won’t have any real gains. Also note that her abilities don’t let her gain weight so she doesn’t need to exercise off any big feasts and parties she might take part in.
At the appearance of incidents, however, Reimu is off her butt and using her intuition to solve the problem. She doesn’t do any detective work, preferring to rely on gut instinct, but she completes the tasks with enthusiasm you wouldn’t expect from her normal laziness. It’s unknown as to why she gets so much energy when these incidents roll around but one can assume one of three things and probably not be wrong. She does it to stave away boredom, try to actually get donations out of thankfulness (no one donates to her shrine), or to pick up any “spoils of war” to help fund her sedentary lifestyle. Outside of events and parties, she rarely leaves her shrine , leaving her a bit backwards in terms of some social concepts.
Reimu is also well known for being greedy and constantly poor. Since money doesn't come all that often to her shrine, she sometimes will go to extremes to get some. While those extremes will never involve lots of work, it may involve being unusually kind. It's usually pretty easy to spot when Reimu is getting low on money since she starts becoming less argumentative and more pliable to different ideas outside of her normal conservative lifestyle.
Old Game Info: N/A
Abilities (after Powercap):
Reimu's trademark ability is to 'float'. This is taken to the extremes where she can literally float right out of reality and into parallel dimensions where it is impossible to deal damage to her. That will be taken away from her so her only real ability to be gained from that is being able to fly.
Her other powers aren't exactly overpowered and there aren't any gods around for her to invoke so that isn't an issue.
Items Brought In:
The stick thing she holds in one hand and her yin-yang orb which floats around her.

Reimu and Marisa had a serious fight so Reimu tries to apologize. Thankfully, Marisa is a little forgiving.

Some youkai were going to hold a Lunar Festival. Reimu offers to advertise and actually help out a little.

Reimu trashed Remilia's mansion. After getting past whatever reservations she had, Reimu offered to pay off part of the debt by being a maid for Remilia. This post ensues.
