Touhou Doujin: Grimoire of Dawitsu
Oriental Western Witch, Marisa Kirisame
Marisa Kirisame, like Reimu Hakurei, is a human who likes to resolve incidents. She isn't a shrine maiden, though. Instead, she's a witch, but as she's only human, works much harder to get to the same power as her Youkai equivalents.
Personality
Marisa has an abrasive personality, and it's because she says a lot of wisecracks. She's effectively the biggest smart-alec in Gensokyo, and she knows it. She clearly is a hard worker, as she's far more powerful than a human magician should be, and the only way to gain magical power in Gensokyo is hard study... or mimicry. Eh heh heh.
That said, she really doesn't work hard if someone other than herself is benefiting from this work, and even fell asleep while battling me! That's no fun for me! She's also destructive, as she destroyed my prized Wheatley imitation! I loved that guy... all... Stephen Merchant-y... oh, she's going down next time I see her.
She doesn't actually have much malice, just is inconsiderate of everyone else. If she wants something, she'll go through several (usually six) youkai just to get it. She steals plenty of books just to continue expanding her move set, and doesn't care whether the person she steals from wants the book or not.
Notes on Mimicry
Marisa's actually quite the accomplished Mimicker herself, and copied her spell-card 'Master Spark' from a Youkai named Yuuka Kazami. She also ripped off Patchouli's non-spell attacks to make 'Non-directional laser'. She also based her spell 'Orrerie's Universe' off of Mima. Speaking of which, she has some form of connection to that ghost... I don't know exactly what it is...
This makes sense, as a human magician needs to lighten the load of learning somehow. She still has a lot of astronomical-based spells which are original. She does this by drawing power from the constellations. This may seem like pretentious nonsense, but hear me out. The concept of stars showing us the future is ridiculous, as you are staring light-years away from yourself, meaning you're actually looking into the past, not the future. However, staring into space brings you closer visually to the Big Bang, an astronomical event of great energy. Marisa takes residual energy from this literally cosmic source.
Her more notable spell-cards include 'Magic Sign: Stardust Revelry' and 'Magic Sign: Milky Way'. Both fire stars towards the opponent in different ways. Stardust Revelry forms a spiral star trap, while other stars fly about at random. The spiral then implodes on itself, making for a difficult to dodge attack. Milky Way is a little easier to predict, as it's mainly aimed at you, but with a looser spiral of stars present to keep you on your toes.
Both can be imitated by reading up on either astronomy or astrology, although you'll get better results for the first option. Astrology's a useless religion nowadays. After reading up, observe Marisa's style... she doesn't even need a wand, something a lot of human magicians fall into the habit of needing. Yutaka, you have anything to say?
Typist's notes: Um, perhaps I shouldn't have encouraged Marisa to smash the Wheatley Monitor... now she's going to be punished for something I kind of told her to do...
Oh, I hope he forgets about this before he finds her, I kind of like her. Well, she is mean at times, but she's good fun, like Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodles. Bites your head off, but you love it all the same.
