Marisa Kirisame

Gender: Female

Age: Around 100 years old.

Appearance: In general, Marisa is depicted with blonde hair and yellow eyes. However, her black and white color scheme have now been replaced with a red and white color scheme, consisting of a red vest (torn on the very bottom) and skirt, white waist apron and undershirt, and a red witch hat with a black bow that appears a little torn. Her hair is commonly braided on one side with a bow on the end.

Personality: Marisa’s original personality is outgoing and informal, being that she socializes with most people in Gensokyo. This Marisa comes from an alternative universe where she suffers from some kind of memory problem, not recollecting much as she was transported here, and questioning what the other residents are like in this dimension. She works for the Scarlet Devil Tower, as evident in her story. She carries her magical broom and Mini-Hakkero around her and uses magic for exterminating youkais.

Hobby/Occupation: Magician, Unknown

Additional Information: ● Marisa has trained herself in magic that specialises in light and heat. She uses it for flashy youkai extermination more than anything. Her magic makes for a good danmaku show, but this is made possible only through her strenuous honest effort in creating layered effects. Most of her spells are themed after stars and other astronomical phenomena.

● She has a mania for collecting things and exhibits knowledge of various valuable and/or magical objects around Gensokyo. She frequently loots many places for various materials, particularly anything she finds interesting. That said, this habit does result in her forgetting what objects are in her house.

● She doesn’t have a specific nor officially stated occupation, but she does regularly go to the Hakurei Shrine to take away Reimu's youkai extermination jobs. She's also written a book called The Grimoire of Marisa that reviews various spell cards by different owners of a spell; she's shown a desire to try and sell the book. She has been shown to sell magic or lucky charms, the origin of these charms are dubious.

● Marisa is known to be somewhat of a burglar/thief, as she boldly breaks in from the front and openly says her motto "I'll be borrowing these!" while carrying things off. She mostly steals books, so she might not be the kind who steals money. This also might be the reason as how she can easily learn other people’s moves.

● Marisa uses her broom to fly, as part of her magician appearance. The broom was originally just a normal broom, but due to the constant exposure to magic, it caused major growth. It’s made of bamboo (although the bamboo is dead), with leaves sprouting out from the handle because of Marisa’s magic.

● The Mini-Hakkero is Marisa's treasured item. It is a furnace that she uses to power her signature Master Spark. From the flame of a table-top stove, to that of a flamethrower, to a powerful and unmatched wide magicannon, the mini-Hakkero has a convenient range of uses. Marisa herself said, "I can't even think of makin' a livin' without it."

● Marisa’s (most famous) signature spell card is Love Sign "Master Spark", a large laser she fires out using her Mini-Hakkero. Similar spell cards are Magicannon "Final Spark", Loving Heart "Double Spark", Love Sign "Master Spark-like Flashlight".
