>Your only qualm with humans entering Gensokyo is an imbalance of Humans to youkai.

Not quite. Youkai are fine for two reasons:

1. The purpose of Gensokyo was for Youkai to begin with.

2. There aren't that many Youkai.

If Gensokyo was open to humans, we'd quickly have millions of people wanting to move in.

>Now, if humans on gensokyo became youkai, would it be fine for them to enter? If so, what would be the steps required to become any type of youkai. Hell, becoming a shinkigami is fine too, anything that would not be classified as human must be acceptable right? After all, any non human would need to find shelter from persecution, and gensokyo seems like the perfect place.

It doesn't quite work that way. If you became the shikigami of a Youkai, you'd still be a human -- just one who was a shikigami. Ran Yakumo was a Youkai before she was a shikigami.

>If you do know Marisa, how old is she at this moment? Is she close to becoming a youkai?

She's a very talented magician, unusually so among humans. She's extremely smart and dedicated: I have no doubt that she could complete the necessary steps given a decade or two of effort. By comparison, your average magician likely couldn't do so even if he dedicated his entire life.

So far, though, she doesn't seem too interested. I figure she'll change her mind eventually as she ages, though. They all start this way.
