Marisa is a common playable character in most subsequent games throughout the series with somewhat rare alternative roles such as being an Extra [[stage]] [[boss]]. Her first ever appearance in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' was in the second [[PC-98]] game ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'' as the fourth stage boss and a subordinate to [[Mima]]. [[ZUN]] has stated that the PC-98 era isn't to be considered [[canon]], although he admits that there are some connections between the PC-98 and the [[Windows]] era, and that the PC-98 Marisa is the same character as the Marisa known today. Additionally, she has made a guest appearance as the first Extra stage boss in the ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]''.

Marisa has the height of a girl in her early teens and is in the "fairly short" group.<ref>[[ZUN's E-mails]]</ref> Unlike [[Patchouli Knowledge]] and [[Alice Margatroid]], who are magicians by species, she's merely an ordinary [[human]] who uses magic. In the games themselves, she's a character who consistently stresses high power and quick speed. She exceeds in attack and penetration power, but her attack range is generally narrow. Her signature move is the tremendous laser Master Spark. She has good speed and power, but poor melee technique.<ref>[[Shanghai Alice Correspondence]] - ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]''</ref>

She has a mania for collecting things and may have a [[wikipedia:Compulsive hoarding|hoarding disorder]]. She's unyielding and unco-operative. As a hard worker, she's very diligent, but she doesn't like others to know that.

In the endings of the later PC-98 games her speaking style was pretty much the same as she is now today, and in the earlier game ''Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream'', [[Chiyuri Kitashirakawa]] had a speaking style resembling Marisa in Windows canon. This could have been one source of influence. Although at first in ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', she spoke femininely, but immediately she then began to use a speaking style that's the same as she uses now.

It isn't directly stated how Marisa makes a living. She does state in ''[[Strange and Bright Nature Deity]]'' Chapter 9 that she regularly goes to the [[Hakurei Shrine]] to take away Reimu's [[youkai]] extermination jobs and ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]'' implies it as well, making it a likely source of income. She's also written a book called ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that reviews various [[spell card]]s by different owners of a spell; she's shown a desire to try and sell the book.<ref>''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'': [[The Grimoire of Marisa/Foreword|Foreword]]</ref><ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Marisa's Script|Marisa's Script]]</ref>

In ''[[Subterranean Animism]]'', Marisa mentions "(being) a thief" concerning the book she stole from [[Patchouli Knowledge]]. In the Extra Stage of that game, [[Koishi Komeiji]] pointed out "Are you the doll-using thief". Afterwards, when there was nobody at the [[Moriya Shrine]], she crept in, but was discovered by [[Kanako Yasaka]] and the others and was harshly punished.

;Magic broom

The Magic broom is a bamboo broom that Marisa uses to fly. It's an ordinary broom, but constant exposure to magic has caused a curious growth to begin. Although the bamboo is dead, leaves appear to be sprouting from the handle, independently from Marisa's magic.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> Although in the shooting games, it was only something to ride on, in the fighting games, it has become a weapon for striking, and a gun barrel from which to shoot [[danmaku]] from, thus serving various purposes. The broom and her magician-like clothing is typical for an actual magician.

;Mini-Hakkero

{{Main|Mini-Hakkero}}

The mini-Hakkero, Marisa's treasured item, is a furnace that she uses to power her signature move ''Master Spark''. From the flame of a table-top stove, to that of a flamethrower, to a powerful and unmatched wide magicannon, the mini-Hakkero has a convenient range of uses.<ref name="gumon_117-120" /><ref>''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'': Chapter number needed</ref> Marisa herself said, "I can't even think of makin' a livin' without it."<ref>''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 06|Chapter 6]]</ref> It was given to Marisa by [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] as a farewell gift when Marisa left her family to live in the [[Forest of Magic]], even though it'd be risky for a girl of her age to handle.

Marisa carries, concealed in her skirt, a dangerous finished product of mushrooms made from mushroom magic. After throwing the item, it explodes. The fact that she conceals them in her skirt seemed dangerous even to [[Hieda no Akyuu]] as noted in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.

Marisa is a normal human with no innate abilities, but her true strength lies in her ability to use one of the highest classes of magic power that [[human]]s can use – an unusual feat perhaps only possible because of the effects of the [[Forest of Magic]].<ref name="gumon_117-120"/> She's also faced very powerful humans and [[youkai]] and was able to solve a number of incidents in various scenarios, all being high achievements. However, her existence is closest to an ordinary person; she was born without any innate abilities (unlike [[Reimu Hakurei]]) and has been compared to "humans of a level close to us" by [[ZUN]]. As a result, the interpretations of Marisa's power can go to extremes. She has an attachment to power and has self-belief in ostentatious display of power. She always finds opponents to fight and plays by finding faults. However, she's actually a hard worker, and her power is the result of her secret training.<ref name="SGZUN">''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'': {{lang|ja|創曲幻想}}.txt</ref>

===Using magic===

Marisa has trained herself in magic that specialises in light and heat. She's an Eastern [[magician]] who takes a Western approach to magic, the opposite of [[Patchouli Knowledge]]. Although she's unable to use magic other than for destroying stuff, the destructive power alone is tremendous. It has few weaknesses, being equally effective against [[human]] or [[youkai]]. When she uses the [[spell card]] system, she makes a display of flashy magic whilst exterminating youkai without regret. Her magic makes for a good show for [[danmaku]], but this is made possible only through her strenuous honest effort in creating layered effects. The majority of her spells rely on power over finesse and are themed after stars and other astronomical phenomena.

===Fly in the sky===

Marisa is almost always depicted as riding on her broom when she flies in the sky. In the fighting spinoffs, she rides a broom only during assault skills like ''Witch Leyline'' and ''Stardust Reverie'', while for all other occasions such as her intro sequence and her midair dash and flight, she flies without a broom. However, the graphics in those games were drawn by [[Twilight Frontier]], not by [[ZUN]], so this doesn't firmly confirm that Marisa is able to fly without a broom. In ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', however, she flew without a broom.

It's unlikely her implied tendency to copy other's moves is abnormal, as magicians such as Marisa build upon the work of others. Marisa claims in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]'' that it's "magicians who build on observation", while [[Patchouli Knowledge]] uses the pride of magicians to add their own original touch to another's work while preserving and respecting the original.<ref name="SSiBCh6">''[[Silent Sinner in Blue]]'' Chapter 6</ref> Magicians seek the truth according to Patchouli.<ref>''[[Touhou Hisoutensoku]]'': [[Touhou Hisoutensoku/Translation/Patchouli's Script|Patchouli's Script]]</ref> They act like researchers in this sense, building upon the work of others. However, other magicians such as Patchouli and [[Alice Margatroid]] haven't been depicted using imitations as blatant as Marisa's for spell cards.

[[File:PMiSS marisa.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Marisa, as illustrated in ''[[Perfect Memento in Strict Sense]]''.]]

In [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Marisa is depicted as having red eyes and red hair in ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', wearing a purple witch's outfit with a white bow on her hat. However, her appearance quickly changes with ''[[Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream]]'', where she has yellow eyes and blonde hair similar to the [[Windows]] canon. This appearance stays with her for the rest of the series. There was one instance where she grew black devil-like wings. In ''[[Mystic Square]]'', her outfit changes from purple to black, which also stays with her for the rest of the series, and her hat gains faint pink frills.

As of ''[[Ten Desires]]'', her hat's bow is purple, she has a purple ribbon tied to the braid on the left side of her hair, her shoes are maroon coloured with small purple ribbons on them, and she has a red ribbon tied to her neck. In ''[[Hopeless Masquerade]]'', she uses dark blue clothes instead of her normal black clothes, she now uses dark blue boots instead of dark shoes, her hat's bow is white and she doesn't have her usual braid on the left side of her hair.

Unless specified, Marisa has been the second playable character throughout the games.

;''Story of Eastern Wonderland

:{{Main|Story of Eastern Wonderland/Translation|l1=Story of Eastern Wonderland Story}}

In ''[[Mystic Square]]'', Marisa watches Reimu ram into a gate to [[Makai]] and decides to follow behind her, her primary motivation being boredom. Her title was just "Magician".

;''Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil''

:{{Main|Embodiment of Scarlet Devil/Story/Marisa's Scenario|l1=Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil Story}}

During ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]'', while flying through the sky, Marisa notices she suddenly cannot see the lake. She swoops in to check out the situation.

;''Perfect Cherry Blossom''

:{{Main|Perfect Cherry Blossom/Story/Marisa's Scenario|l1=Perfect Cherry Blossom Story}}

In ''[[Imperishable Night]]'', Alice is perturbed about the [[Moon]], so she decides to bribe Marisa into coming along with her to find out who's responsible for the fake Moon.

;''Phantasmagoria of Flower View''

:{{Main|Phantasmagoria of Flower View/Story#Marisa's Story|l1=Phantasmagoria of Flower View Story}}

In ''[[Phantasmagoria of Flower View]]'', the flowers are blooming out of season, but this doesn't bother Marisa much at first. She simply wants to find out who's responsible for it and will be the first to know why.

Marisa discovers that her [[Mini-Hakkero]] is acting on its own that shoots out fire, believed to be turning into a [[tsukumogami]]. After discovering that previously docile youkai have become violent, Marisa learns from [[Yatsuhashi Tsukumo]] and [[Benben Tsukumo]] that a group of youkai are planning social upheaval. She travels to the [[Shining Needle Castle]] and defeats [[Seija Kijin]], who remarks that her allies can become as strong as they want to if they ignore the consequences. After being led by Seija to the inner parts of the castle, she defeats the Miracle Mallet-wielding [[Shinmyoumaru Sukuna]]. Afterwards, a magical storm similar to the one caused by the Miracle Mallet rages and Marisa finds that the cause is the tsukumogami [[Raiko Horikawa]], who had successfully changed her source of magic to that of the outside world. After beating Raiko, Marisa lets her go in exchange for not causing any problems in the future.

;''Immaterial and Missing Power''

:{{Main|Immaterial and Missing Power/Story#Marisa's Story|l1=Immaterial and Missing Power Story}}

In ''[[Immaterial and Missing Power]]'', a strange feast catches Marisa's attention, so she goes to look for clues.

;''Fairy Wars''

:{{Main|Fairy Wars/Story/Extra|l1=Fairy Wars Marisa Arc}}

Marisa appears as the Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Fairy Wars]]''. While Marisa is returning from a flower-viewing session, [[Cirno]] shows up and asks for a fight due to Aya suggesting that Cirno should fight a human. Marisa doesn't take the request very seriously at first, but she decides to fight using her non-deadly lasers. Surprisingly, Cirno puts up a good fight and actually manages to defeat Marisa, although Cirno appears to be defeated instead, even though Marisa was going easy on her. Marisa just heads back home after the fight to rest.

;''Impossible Spell Card''

:{{Main|Impossible Spell Card#Story|l1=Impossible Spell Card: Story}}

After apparently reading the newspaper by the [[tengu]] about a mischief-making [[amanojaku]], she becomes one of the many strong [[youkai]] and [[human]]s to try and stop [[Seija Kijin]]. She uses [[spell card]]s that are considered impossible to dodge.

;''Urban Legend in Limbo''

Marisa appears as a playable character in ''[[Urban Legend in Limbo]]''. She was originally shown on a leaflet with various urban Japanese youkai with a torch/flashlight as though she's telling a spooky story. In the scenario, she discovered a phenomenon at [[Kourindou]] and took its power as herselves. [[Reimu Hakurei]] finds Marisa and wanted her to taste some mushrooms for poison, but Marisa attacked her with occult power. Reimu was confused, seeing a bizarre ball of sort.

===Seihou Project===

{{seihou note|section}}

;''Shuusou Gyoku''

Marisa has made a guest appearance as the first Extra stage [[boss]] of ''[[Seihou Project]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s first work ''[[Shuusou Gyoku]]'', a [[danmaku]] game series by the junior doujin circle "[[Shunsatsu sare do?]]", where [[ZUN]] also contributed music and art to the game. It seems like ZUN put her in the game along with [[Reimu Hakurei]]. Her title was "Magician of Red Dreams" and her theme was "The Witches' Ball ~ Magus". To add to this, [[Yuuka Kazami]] made a guest appearances in the following work, ''[[Kioh Gyoku]]''.

She seems to have no view towards the [[Seihou World]]; she doesn't know that there's no vegetation and has no thoughts about scientific machinery, but she's aware of what the [[Holy Grail]] is. Curious why [[VIVIT]] and her master [[Erich]] wanting the grail, she fights her, but was defeated. She was then thudded by [[Reimu Hakurei]] for fighting at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Her way of speech indicates that this appearance was between ''[[Mystic Square]]'' and ''[[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil]]''.

;''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red''

:{{Main|Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red/Marisa|l1=Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red Article and Interview: Marisa}}

In ''[[Symposium of Post-mysticism]]'', Marisa acts as the moderator for the symposium that involve [[Kanako Yasaka]], [[Byakuren Hijiri]], and [[Toyosatomimi no Miko]]. She'll usually start off a question to a discussion and will sometimes make her own comments. She also appeared in an article that's dedicated to a fight against [[Cirno]] which happened in ''[[Fairy Wars]]''. This made [[Hatate Himekaidou]] worried of how much stronger [[human]]s have become.

Marisa has met a major amount of [[characters]] that've appeared within the ''[[Touhou Project]]''.

===Reimu Hakurei===

[[File:GoMIllus-Reimu.jpg|thumb|192px|Reimu and Marisa fighting, as illustrated in ''[[The Grimoire of Marisa]]''.]]

Marisa is good friends with [[Reimu Hakurei]] and often hangs out at the [[Hakurei Shrine]]. Although it was originally Reimu's job, Marisa also snatches requests for [[youkai]] extermination at her convenience. In addition to incidents, there are many scenes where they're together, especially in the print works. It is, however, never shown that Marisa has been inside the shrine.

If ''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'' [[Curiosities of Lotus Asia/Chapter 22|Chapter 22]] took place before ''[[Story of Eastern Wonderland]]'', she may have already known and been friends with Reimu beforehand. Dialogue of the official version of ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'' doesn't explicitly state that it's their first meeting, although the dialogue in the trial version does. However, the [[canon]] between the [[PC-98]] and [[Windows]] eras is debatable.

Marisa's family runs a large second-hand shop in the [[Human Village]], called the "Kirisame Shop".<ref name="CoLACh19" /> As an only daughter,<ref name="gumon_117-120" /> if she doesn't marry and leave successors she cannot legally inherit the shop. Marisa has broken off relations with her family, and avoids everything related to them. She says to [[Rinnosuke Morichika]] that she'll never go back to them.<ref name="CoLACh07">''[[Curiosities of Lotus Asia]]'': Chapter 7</ref>

Although she didn't have a relation to the three fairies then, she also appeared in Sangetsusei's supplementary shooting game ''[[Fairy Wars]]''.

;Mimi-chan

In the [[PC-98]] [[canon]], Marisa is [[Mimi-chan]]'s owner, and thinks Mimi's cute. She knows that Mimi-chan's a weapon from [[Yumemi Okazaki]]'s world, but has no idea how to use her, and thus rides on Mimi. If she knew anything about how a intercontinental ballistic missile works, she probably wouldn't be doing so.

Byakuren is a [[magician]], much like Marisa, although is much more experienced and has become a youkai while Marisa has yet to do so. Despite an initial disagreement and misunderstanding over the status of youkai and humans in the Marisa A ending of ''[[Undefined Fantastic Object]]'', Byakuren liked Marisa's direct personality, and in thanks for Marisa's help in breaking the seal, instructed [[Minamitsu Murasa]] to take Marisa to and from [[Makai]] whenever Marisa wanted. She also told Marisa that, as a magician, she could come see Byakuren if she ever had any trouble. It's unknown if the [[Palanquin Ship]]'s conversion into a temple affected the arrangement.

==Additional Information==

*Marisa's face was shown on most of the [[Windows]] game icons on the <tt>.exe</tt> files. This excludes the spin-off fighters, ''[[Double Spoiler]]'', ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' and ''[[Impossible Spell Card]]''.

*Marisa is second most frequent character to appear in the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' games before Reimu. This is because the two appeared in every game, but Marisa didn't appear in ''[[Highly Responsive to Prayers]]'' and the recent minigame ''[[Gold Rush]]'', which Reimu did. Various exeptions would show to change these statistics such as ''[[Shoot the Bullet]]'', which both characters didn't appear (but Marisa was used on the .exe's icon), but the two appeared in an afterword story, and ''[[Fairy Wars]]'' had only Marisa, but Reimu was still shown in a cameo.

*Marisa seems knowledgeable about species not native to Japan such as the [[wikipedia:Beaver|beaver]] in Chapter 4 of ''[[Wild and Horned Hermit]]'' and the [[wikipedia:Rafflesia|rafflesia]] in Chapter 14 of ''[[Oriental Sacred Place]]''.

*When introducing herself or asked who she is, Marisa often blatantly lies that she's the [[shrine maiden]] Reimu Hakurei.
