Hi, Vincent.

Being firm when needed does not make the person unkind. Hell, Sanae fancied herself as a hero in LoLK.

At very worst, she can be called justifiably misguided in UFO - and helping resolve LoLK is pretty big, considering how serious that incident was. She's, at the very least, firmly on the nicer side of Gensokyo.

Cirno has no right to speak of bad fanon either. At least *her* fanon portrays her in a positive light and people aren't force-fed with it.

She is hardworking for her goddesses because they need faith to live. And yet she is bold enough to talk back to them if necessary (Suwako in 12.3), but can also go really far for their sake (the threat to Reimu in MoF). She is nice, polite (even if she accidentally offends people), and is one of the few characters firmly on the side of humans and willing to fight for their sake. A goldmine of real world references, she understands much more than most of the characters, which also leads to awesome facets of her personality like the interests in mecha and popculture or broad knowledge about nuclear physics. Her disposition is a breath of fresh air compared to gloomy or arrogant citizens of Gensokyo, not to mention her being so energetic it's contagious. She's basically Haruhi minus the jerkassery.

She *might* be a little too eager a youkai exterminator, but that's just a side effect of learning a fighting style that utilizes your godly powers for an extremely fun, harmless and colorful battles. Her eagerness also contrasts with Reimu, who is mostly grumpy towards all the things Sanae is excited with. She's more like the Reimu of PC98.

She is the one girl that would both protect you and become your best friend, brightening your days. And not a Mary Sue either, considering the humiliation she goes through early.

Her skills are awesome too. A wide array of colorful miracles, from water to wind and falling stars, goddess summons, standard miko stuff like amulets, goheis and barriers. She ever plays around with ridiculous stuff like exploding fortune packets and rice crops.

And as for her clothes, they're pure eyecandy. Her eyes and hair have beautiful colors, her attire is simple yet creative (the sleeves and patterns on her skirt), the detached sleeves + petite shoulders combo is top cute, she's a shapely young woman and she even has a semi-official school uniform as an alternate costiume. What more could one possibly want?

It's... well, to me her demonization feels like another thing to tarnish her image by the haters, nothing more nothing less. At least mostly - it's worth remembering that both Marisa (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Hisoutensoku/Translation/Marisa%27s_Script#Marisa_wins_Sanae)) and Hatate (http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Double_Spoiler/Spell_Cards/Level_EX#Spell_Card_EX_-_9)) canonically express concern about her becoming youkai-like herself from too much extermination.
