What do you all take of Marisa's personality? She's a bit hard to read, and I personally think she's a carefree demi-sociopath kleptomaniac. Who just happens to be cute. Not that she's mean on purpose, just rather inconsiderate.

She technically is pretty mean, just like the majority of characters if you go on their text in the games.

While we're on the subject of 2hu personalities, what is everyone's take on the various characters?

>Marisa is very straightforward and informal with everyone. She can be condescending, as if trying to make fool of others, and often has difficulty expressing sympathy.[2] She is quick to act if she hears anything interesting. Marisa is also a habitual liar, but she makes no effort to actually deceive as her lies are extremely obvious.

>She has a mania for collecting things and may have a hoarding disorder. She is unyielding and unco-operative. As a hard worker, she is very diligent, but she doesn't like others to know that.

She's not a sociopath. If you want sociopaths, go for Alice or Sakuya.

Known methods to become a supernatural creature (not necessarily youkai, immortals too) include turning into a demon out of excess lust (Kiyohime), anger (Taira no Masakado), covetousness (Mugenyama temple bell, Raigo Anjari), religious zeal (monks turning into oni to protect their temples from evil), pride (tengu) and presumably any other emotion in its extreme, dying with regrets (a lot, for example dorotabo), dying with a single purpose in mind (a lot, for example inugami), starving (itsumaden), eating mermaid flesh or liver (Yaobikuni), stopping blood, air or semen flow for 1000 days (Taoist monks), straying from the Buddhist path or living a sinful life (most youkai), stealing money or oil (dodomeki and abura-akago), being a slut (sazae-oni), being wronged in some way (tenome), living or existing for long periods of time (many animal-base demons, for example nekomata, also tsukumogami), special rituals (ungaikyou), killing a certain demon or a number of demons (ushi-oni), being killed by certain demons (funayurei), somehow fusing yourself with an object (biwa-yanagi, but there's no ritual or anything for this, dude dropped his biwa into water, a whirlpool sucked him up and when he came to himself he was half fucking lute.), excessive dieting (futakuchi-onna), dying without fulfilling a promise (zashiki-warashi) and so on. You can also be born that way and not know it (rokurokubi).

As for why you'd want to become one, you may wish for the immortality and supernatural powers it would bring. Alice was a human who managed to become a youkai through magic.

Marisa is a clever and cheerful girl. She can be very focused and diligent when she sets her mind to a task, but is equally capable of just relaxing and taking it easy.

But yeah, Marisa's an interesting character. Energetic, intelligent, upwardly-mobile, confident enough to go toe-to-toe with Gensokyo's heavies but cowardly enough to back down from a fight she thinks could be dangerous. She's a shady character, or as shady as you can get while wearing bright colours and being really obvious about everything you do.

Her personality is ordinary. She has quite a realistic personality instead of one dominant personality. She's also quite reserved like most humans. Most real people don't have one personality, they act in different wayys with different people in different situations, and the default personality is reserved and cautious when not speaking to friends. This is pretty much what Marisa does.

A more meaningful question would be "how does Marisa interact with x character", because sometimes she can be understanding and others she can be quite cruel.

Because its screenshot worthy dorkiness. Its an adult male comparing him to a female cartoon character ironically. Its like something a 6th grader with down syndrome would say and he expected us to think he was cool because of it.

I bet he has never even went car hopping, let alone had a real job.

I dont mean "job" as in a 9-5 job. I mean operated a "job" which yielded "product", which often needs to be "cleaned". You read me?
