People will read and pick up the dialogue differently, to the point where things can seem inconsistent between different sources. Trying to determine the "canon" personality of a Touhou is sort of weird. You can usually get a general feel, but depending on how you see their manner of speech, how you interpreted the translations, how much you incorporate other official material... It can be pretty different from each other. Saying "they correspond well" or "they keep changing" only means something to yourself, not everyone.

In most cases, you can make a clear cut between canon and fanon. But when it's as something as vague as the personality of a somewhat insignificant character... I'm not sure how you can be so quick to say that eveyone else is wrong because they think that Mokou's got a few loose screws, or that she's self-loating. When two sources seem to contradict each other in Touhou, some people will incorportate both somehow, but if the sources seems to depict her in completely different manners, most people will pick the personality they like. It's not really a big deal and doesn't affect anyone. It's only when they try to set that as the clear-cut presentation for what's 100% canon is where problems can arise, as it's possible that the EXACT SAME SOURCE can be used to both support or work against the argument of if it's canon or not. Naturally, there are some hardcore concrete canon details, but this is more for the wishy-washy stuff.
