Who is Patchouli?
I mean, what is her role in the scarlet devil mansion? does she have the same hierarchy as Remilia? can Remilia give her orders?

[Anonymous No.]

She's just a yokai with a passion for reading. I guess her and Remi get along because they're both shut-ins.

[Anonymous No.]

Remilias girlfriend?

[Anonymous No.]

She is a loyal family friend/freeloader. I believe a lot of classy manors had at least one back in the day.

[Anonymous No.]

We need to find out how they met

It needs to be either exceedingly grimdark or exceedingly relaxing

[Anonymous No.]

Remilia's sex friend.

[Anonymous No.]

I know that, being a /jp/er, you're not exactly familiar with the concept, but the two of them are friends. Friends just, you know, hang out with each other.

[Anonymous No.]

She just sort of hangs around. I imagine she just befriended Remilia by chance and then decided to abuse her wealth in order to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming the world's greatest hikikomori.
Though she does help out with just about everything. SSiB is a good example.

Court wizard?

If you have a castle, you get yourself a wizard. Sakuya can stop time and all that but I'm sure some magic is used in the place.

And it's not like she was useless, she defends the mansion when it's being attacked by the protagonist, voluntarily or as her duty.

Arcane alcohol?

Bleh, no.

[Anonymous No.]

She came with the library. Haven't you been to a big enough library? Those come with their own book-obsessed little girl and/or orangutan attached (Dalian, Patchouli, the Librarian, Nya, Eve, Yue...), you just need to know where to look. As you know, large quantities of books are capable of warping space and when the information concentration in any library exceeds a certain threshold, the place collapses unto itself and connects itself to the L-space. If you are present in a library during this event, and especially if you're the one bringing in the last book, you may end up as the library's resident little girl.

Wikipe-tan was the result of such an event, due to the vast increase in Wikipedia's size.

Prince Shotoku is confirmed to use Taoist heathen magic to turn himself into a girl, there's no reason why Patchouli couldn't have.

>>7926028
Aren't the required library sizes extremely large? The Great Library contains everything that happened or will happen, Nya's library likely contains information on everything that doesn't exist and can't exist as well. Even the smaller libraries like Dalian's compete by having magical books, though Dalian's last keykeeper used to buy books by the shelf so small is comparative here.

[PRINNY !nLFbzB/0pw No.]

>>7926287
Its implied in IN that Patchouli is Flandre's tutor. No idea about Remi

[Anonymous No.]

She is a Librarian.
It happens to be in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but it is still Patchouli's library.
You could argue, that she is below Remilia, but that might perhaps not be much of the case anyway.

The library and the main house are practically disconnected.
The library is Patchouli's domain.

I suppose you could liken it to how even the house lord can't easily disobey he head chef while in the kitchen.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7926311
She's not a librarian. She's not some worker lending out books. In fact, she's not lending books out at all, at least not if she can help it.

She's called THE library. For all we know about youkai nature and origins, it may actually be literal.

[gensokyo_gal_97 !nLH26A83Ug No.]

She's like the master librarian in Castlevania. Sakuya is Death, Remilia is Dracula.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7926283
Holy shit, that was pretty awesome.

Aside from being her friend, Patchy helps Remi fulfill her whims and solves problems around the mansion. As far as magic ability she's one of the most useful Touhous. Also great for bedtop sports.

"Library" does not mean "public library".

[Anonymous No.]

I like to think that Patchouli was a friend of the Scarlet's father that got roped into tutoring the sisters and helping manage Flandre, and in return got the full run of the Voile Library. When it came time to move the SDM to Gensokyo, she did most of the work and came along with because frankly she didn't have anything better to do.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7926594
Remilia is 400 years older than Patchouli, so that's VERY unlikely.

[Anonymous No.]

>>7926599

And we know this how?

I wasn't aware there was anything that gave Patchouli an actual age, and her being only around 100 years old seems rather odd.

>>7926835

That was disproven by ZUN himself in an interview, to just be a lot of hooey. Remilia just says it to add to her image.

That would imply Meiling is ever allowed to do anything but stand outside the gate and manage the gardens.

>>7926840

Judging by their names, clothing, and style of building of the SDM, its generally presumed they're from somewhere in Europe. Except for Sakuya's and Koa's names, which are Japanese, and kinda come out of nowhere.

As for the reproduction thing, its a bit vague in Touhou, as Vampires are considered as just another type of Youkai and Devil.

I am aware Remilia gave Sakuya her name, but its a JAPANESE style name, which doesn't make much sense if she was given it while the SDM crew were still in Europe. Same goes for Koakuma's name, assuming the same.

Meiling has an excuse as it's her actual name and she's (presumably) actually of Chinese origin.

I too think it would be bliss to be a part of the Scarlet household, if even as one of the fairy maids.

Actually the fairy maids have a pretty good life considering they really don't do anything but play around making messes that the head maid cleans up. It really is more like the benevolent Remmy takes in wayward fairies and gives them a home, food, and clothing.

Everybody had been calling her 小悪魔 for a while before ZUN called her 小悪魔 in an interview (lit. little devil, possibly generic) when somebody asked about her, so it's going to be her name until ZUN decides otherwise, and that's going to be never.
