==General Infomation==
===Design===
Reimu has a brown-black hair which varies in length and style between in other designs and between the tending towards long and loose in later appearances and her eyes vary from brown to red and to even blue depending on those different eyes designs and has a white skin, though she always wears a very large red ribbon at the back of her head, and red matching tubes on her own sidelocks. Her traditional standard shrine maiden/miko outfit uniform has a unique potential red-and-white colour scheme and partially including with a pair of white detached sleeves which that shows and that exposes her own miko armpits, She's still and is usually seen in her "shrine maiden uniform", but it now bears little in common with the standard uniform beyond the normal red-and-white colour scheme. This traditional uniform consists of a red skirt, a sleeveless red top with an white collars, and tied to an small yellow ribbon, sometimes the yellow ribbon turned to blue color instead of yellow color in other appearances, and with the normal traditional brown shoes and white socks. Due to the cultural color scheme, she's occasionally called the "red-white shrine maiden". The seal burning thing that it's in her left hand is called "ofudas" and the huge unnamed thing that she holds in her right hand is called a "purification rod", and while is also often and better known as "gohei" instead, but it's unknown who designs them.
===Personality===
Reimu Hakurei's personality is typified and that can be described by her desires and is usually straightforward and easy-going so curious, such as the desire to be wanted, to have good food, and to find happiness. Her biggest internal conflict comes from balancing her duties as the Hakurei shrine maiden and her own desires, though she does not seem to prefer acknowledging many of her internal conflicts. Although, she's gets so angry quick if offended, but just as quick to offer help to those in need. she is indeed a bit lazy during her intellectual freetime from youkai extermination, While rather lazy in her free time, she's highly devoted to her duties as the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, resulting in a "shoot first and ask questions later" attitude to youkai extermination. This makes her known to exterminate youkai indiscriminately, regardless of how much of a threat they represent to her or others. she is said to could have an innocent kind-hearted that actually can't truly hurting or hating anyone for good peace kindness. she seems sympathetic toward many individuals and she's commonly described as dutiful who only cares of her job as the main and resident Hakurei Shrine Maiden. Apparently, however, she actually helps youkai in trouble when it really matters, she kept youkais and at her place to help healing their own injuries for good instance. It's been stated that Reimu treats everyone the same, whether they're humans, youkai or gods, giving them no particular respect or disrespect. This habit has caused her to inadvertently befriend many youkai she defeats. While she tries to keep youkai away from her shrine, this is because it makes it harder to do her job and also gather faith from humans rather than because she dislikes them. This leads to a major theme in the Touhou, that of the relationship between humans and youkai in Gensokyo. she actually just wants to attain a peace in Gensokyo that doesn't require violence, like the others present wish. she's mainly works as an incident resolver and she is always living in a wonderful and beautiful shrine, she especially waits for a customer to throw and put money into her shrine donation box on every day until being wishful. she likes to drink an warm tea for the rest of her own life and she still sweep and clean the whole ground floor of her hakurei shrine from outside with a cleaning miko broom. when Reimu goes to almost break it up, she actually just wants to attain a peace in Gensokyo that doesn't require violence, like the others present wish. she's simply is called as "shrine maiden" in different surname, her own legacy life could be more than ever at all, While the only one has a ambushed example was presumably about Reimu, in the Reimu's own words, "reading and minding her own business". which this means that Reimu's job as not being that of a youkai exterminator, but rather a "balancer between humans and youkai", who prevents youkai from attacking humans and humans from becoming youkai.
Her duty as the shrine maiden gives Reimu a sense of purpose and identity, however, it conflicts with her desires in that it distances her from others and has her dealing with incidents and other related problems on a frequent basis. Despite her duty making it seem as though she antagonizes youkai, in truth, she wishes for peace between humans and youkai.
Reimu is generally a respectively joyful and airheaded person. She’s also incredibly prideful and quite arrogant due to it. She’s often seen in a good mood until her routines are broken by some outside influence, be it a youkai or the like. She is quick to anger, but she’s also quick to forget.
