Reimu Hakurei

## The Wonderful Shrine Maiden of Paradise

"I haven't really been involved in 'Multiverse' stuff before, but I figure if I just go with the flow, it'll end up fine."

### Occupation

Shrine Maiden & Incident Resolver

**Reimu Hakurei** is the main protagonist of ***Touhou Project.*** She's the Shrine Maiden in charge of managing the Great Hakurei Barrier alongside the Hakurei Shrine.

## Canon

Reimu Hakurei is many things. Namely, A shrine maiden, and an incident resolver. Reimu's early life wasn't exactly easy. Her parents unfortunately passed away before she could really remember them. Luckily, she had a friend in Marisa Kirisame for this time, so she was never truly alone. Regardless, Reimu ended up becoming the youngest Hakurei Shrine Maiden in history - having become one at just 10 years old. During this time, she was still somewhat learning the ropes, but still yet got involved in a total of 5 incidents before her 12th birthday.

During her time with resolving these incidents, Reimu realised just how dangerous everything was surrounding her work. Gensokyo was... dangerous, to say the least. So, exercising her authority as the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, Reimu Hakurei (with assistance and some old ideas to help) created the Spell Card System, and with that, Spell Card Rules. With these rules in place, fights became fair, nonlethal competitions of both beauty, speed, and dexterity that minimized, if not completely removed any bloodshed.

Not too long after, the Scarlet Mist Incident occurred. It was the first incident with the Spell Card Rules in place, and undeniable proof that the spell card system did in fact work as intended. No lives were lost during the incident, and nobody suffered overly severe injuries.

After this, Reimu went through several, several more incidents almost back-to-back on a nearly yearly basis. So much so that it'd sort of become routine. During this time, Reimu ended up befriending a lot of Youkai, who, along with the occasional Fairy, began to hang around the Hakurei Shrine. This drove away even the faithful to such a degree where Reimu lived off of only pennies. The Shrine held up, but there were several problems with it that couldn't be mended. Such as a leak in the roof, which was solved by the genius of Maria Kirisame - by which I mean, she placed a bucket underneath it.

Reimu's childhood to adolescence passed by in a flash. Now, Reimu is in her mid 20's, and yet nothing seems to have fundamentally changed about her life in that time.

## Pre-Paradise

Gensokyo is no stranger to odd incidents by any means, and Reimu is often the go-to person for such problems. One of these problems was a rapid destabilization in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Both Sakuya Izayoi and Remilia Scarlet had gone missing. Reimu was informed on this thanks to the help of a fairy maid working in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, who went on her own initiative to the shrine. It took her some time, but she did eventually make it. Ontop of that, Patchouli Knowledge was unheard from for some time, and Marisa Kirisame had been noticeably absent as of recent.

It seemed that several people within Gensokyo were being, well, spirited away to god knows where. Reimu attempted to contact Yukari Yakumo using the Yin-Yang Orbs, but to no avail. With nothing to go off of, Reimu flew off to find whatever was causing the incident. After a brief fight with Cirno, Reimu found a large purpleish mass floating above the Misty Lake. After experimentally throwing an Ofuda through it, Reimu would fly straight into the mass, and awoke inside the Hotel's lobby not too long after.
