Marisa Kirisame

Basic Info
Marisa originates from Touhou, and is probably one of my most frequently RPed characters. She lives with and also travels alongside Reimu Hakurei through the various multiverses in order to find out the reason they exist, and how.

Most of the time, she can be found hanging out or doing literally anything at all with Reimu. However, in her free time, she's often reading books, napping, eating, or exploring.

Personality and Character
This witch's personality is pretty simple and easy to follow. Marisa is a rowdy, yet carefree sort of person who doesn't often take things seriously. She speaks in a rough, hill-billy like tone, an example of her tomboyish and rowdy nature. Every word she utters is full of sarcasm, jokes, and total immaturity.

For the most part, though she puts up a cool or chill front around others, she's one of the most human characters I have-- becoming awkward when things get really serious or when there's a situation she doesn't know how to respond to. Marisa is used to responding to most situations with danmaku, jokes and sarcasm. Anything that she can't respond to with those options leads to the showcase of her awkward human nature and lots of 'uhhh's and 'er's.

Though she has no obligation to do so, she'll try her best to keep up the 'chill magician' cover around others, often hiding her true feelings if they're negative in any sense. It seems she's very good at keeping her sadness, grief, and anger on the inside while holding a straight face-- but when overwhelmed by emotion to the brim, she can't help but let it out.

She used to be a bit of a social person, but during time spent in Haven, it seems she's become a little more of a recluse. (She's always been a shut-in, but it's gotten worse thanks to certain experiences.)

Her insecurities too have increased, and as of late she often reflects on her abilities and strength.

Experiences gained through RP
From the very beginning, her world view itself seemed to expand as she learned of the various RP multiverses that exist, and that various versions of one person were also aplenty. Though bewildered by it at first, she's grown used to it, like many others have.

During the start of my time rping her, she resided in Starcrossing with Tox's Reimu and Jason's Reimu-- having followed Tox's Reimu there after wanting answers for her years long absence from Gensokyo. In doing so, she ended up staying in a shrine with the two previously mentioned. Though most of her time spent here consisted of lazing around with nothing serious happening, this all changed when T!Reimu's wife came and got pissed at her for not talking to her for months.

Notably, Marisa had a huge crush on T!Reimu and learned the pains of heartbreak (and disappointment) from this. Despite that, though, she continued accompanying T!Reimu who began to severely struggle with feelings of self-hatred, and after a while, they traveled to Haven together.

In Haven, many important things occurred, starting with Marisa and Reimu's confession of love to each other (the morning after getting wasted and kissing while drunk) and the start of their relationship thereafter. This is probably the only good thing that happened to these two while in Haven.

Now, to document the painful experiences Marisa gained from this place, the witch had her leg and head split open by Vod and since gained trauma from the event. She also witnessed Reimu kissing her ex-wife (once), though it was said this happened due to Reimu's own low mental stability. Shortly after that, she witnessed Reimu attempting to kill herself. Though this time included a lot of pain for her, she and the miko's bond seemed to deepen the more time was spent here.

The other big half of her time spent in Haven is mostly unimportant. Marisa began to study certain magic under Ada (she also began to learn various types of magic from spellbooks), took part in resolving incidents both big and small, got annoyed a lot by various events, and er.. witnessed the shrine burn down.

For a while, she resided in Skyward Story with Reimu, but it seems the two have returned back to their roots in Starcross, once again residing in the shrine there and resuming the same life as usual. Their days are mainly uneventful, but Marisa tries her best to keep Reimu from sleeping her days away.

Reimu Hakurei
Basically, this girl is Marisa's only super deep relationship in RP. Marisa has known Reimu since childhood and also has loved her for quite the long time. At the moment, they are currently dating, and Marisa has vowed to never leave her side no matter what. Disregarding the sappy stuff, the witch lives with this miko and likes to annoy her or do dumb things with her on a daily basis. Canonically, it has been stated that without Reimu, Marisa would be so bored that 'she'd die', and that Reimu is 'her favorite thing' or 'the one she loves'.

During my time RPing Marisa, these two have gone through quite a bit of shit, including: Being robbed, getting super drunk together, being beaten the shit out of (of course), fighting an evil clown or something?, relationship hellship, dealing with lots and lots of annoying people, and basically everything they went through together in the original Touhou Project canon.

(Notably, despite Marisa's strong love for Reimu, she also feels quite envious towards her for being born with strong powers and abilities, and also for always getting important main character-esque roles. Someday, she wants to have an ability that's on par with Reimu's 'fantasy nature' so that she can also protect the shrine maiden.)
