>She went from indian scammer to robin hood
She went from pickpocket to Indian scammer, you mean. She sold oil she didn't possess and couldn't deliver, and followed that up with a fraudulent travel agency that simply tosses people to a dangerous place without any concern for their safety (despite promising to keep them safe), targeting people who certainly aren't rich, such as Kogasa. Jo'on didn't better herself at all.
Byakuren doesn't really care, either. She saw Jo'on as an opportunity to get free labor, that's why all her "training" was just chores and she kept her there with threats of violence.
Also note that she *only* took in Jo'on and not Shion. That's because while Jo'on is not a threat to them due to the temple lacking much in the way of material wealth, so Jo'on couldn't steal shit, but Shion's uncontrollable misfortune would still damage their ability to attract guests and collect faith. Reimu is the only one who actually cared about her enough to take her in and care for her, even though it meant that she wouldn't gain anything from resolving the incident.
Byakuren just doesn't want to do anything that's actually difficult or requires any sacrifice on her part.

Yeah, and that's the only one she cares about enough to take any action about.
Not her much older and experienced disciples attacking people, trying to drown them, or breaking every Buddhist commandment imaginable; only her most recent acolyte; the weak and desperate yamabiko who has nowhere else to go.
And even then she makes no efforts to help her deal with her struggles in the temple and difficulty fitting in, nor does she bother to teach her actual Buddhism instead of just letting her mindlessly repeat mantras. No, she jumps straight to violence as her go-to option because Kyouko was being a minor nuisance.
Byakuren is hilarious and a good character, but she absolutely is not a good *person*. None of the religious leaders are (with Reimu being the most sympathetic), but Byakuren is the one with the most hypocrisy involved, which makes her the most untrustworthy overall.

ALISON drew some illustrations for AFiEU, which means it's canon that Touhous smoke weed.

Wonder what Kyouko's looking like this for. Lots of music in this book; maybe it's something about her band.
