Happy New Year's. I'm Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams. I'm here with Blue. Let's have another great year.
Introduction
Hey, Happy New Year. Here's to another good one with me, Marisa Kirisame, a.k.a. the Witch of Scarlet Dreams. So, c'mon, whaddya think? ...What do you mean about what? About my outfit, of course! It's New Year's, so I went all out to make myself look nice. Tch, don't act like you didn't notice. Since it's a special occasion, I'll show you the calligraphy technique I discovered after a millennium of magic research. Hey, Blue, quit laughing behind your hagoita!
Purple Heart
The world where it's always New Year's isn't for me...
Blue Heart
We were in a weird world where literally every day was New Year's.
Green Heart
I strongly doubt there are any clues to resolving the big incident there, but work's work. I got no choice but to go along with it. ...It's all pretty fun, though!
Orange Heart
When I first got paired up with Blue and sent to another world, I had my doubts. But... she's still Reimu. We get along so well it makes my stomach churn. Oh, but keep that a secret. Telling her would be way too embarrassing.
Pink Heart
Even if she's just a lookalike from another world, seeing Reimu smile puts me at ease. It makes me think my Reimu's smiling somewhere out there, too. ...Don't tell her that either. It's our little secret. Got that?
Summer
A world where it's always summer? Oh yeah, apparently, a version of me got sent there. Whose outfit's cuter, mine or hers? C'mon, tell me.
Login
Hey, Happy New Year. That's the standard greeting in the world we were in. By the way, you haven't told me what you think of my outfit. So? It's pretty cute, right?
Enhancement
What's your New Year's resolution? I'll write it for you to celebrate my powering up.
Return
Those bullets were awesome. Nothing beats a flashy battle on New Year's.
Home 1
I'll write your fortune for the year. It'll be like a prayer for the end of the big incident. C'mon, what do you want me to write? ...That's not how telling fortunes works? Oh yeah, you're right!
Home 2
Blue kept going on and on about having a hanatsuki match, so I drew a big circle on her face. She drew a cross on mine, so I guess we're even!
Home 3
This brush is my beloved broom reborn. And I'm using inert hihi'irokane as the pigment for this ink. My magic's pretty awesome, no?
Reaction 1
We were in the happy and carefree New Year's world for so long that it's started to rub off on me.
Reaction 2
Huh. You're already half asleep. Here, rest your head on my lap.
Reaction 3
*pats head* You know, you kinda remind me of Reimu.
Task
You're doing tasks on New Year's? Lemme see. I've honed my knowledge for a millennium, so I should be able to help.
Task Complete
Finished your task, huh? *pats head* ...Come to think of it, it's only New Year's every day in the world I was in, huh?
Mail
Hey, this letter's addressed to you. ...No doubt about it, this came from another world.
Errand Finished
Sounds like someone's back. I wonder if they brought mochi.
Start of Battle
I like New Year's feasts AND power! Battles of bullets are all about firepower!
Mid-Wave
Hey, Blue, what do you think of my outfit?
Victory
That kimono suits you, Blue. You look pretty cute if you ask me.
Defeat
Hey, what's the big idea? You got my kimono dirty!

Character Information
Temperament: Hatsu-akane
Hatsu-akane (a Touhou LW original) refers to the first glimmers of light on New Year's Day before the Sun passes above the horizon. This is an apt temperament for Marisa, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations.
She has retained the same temperament. (Strong against Sun Essence, Moon Essence, and Star Essence, but weak to Wood Phase.)
Ability/Backstory: Capable of using magic (Celebration)
The ability of Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). Her ability doesn't seem all that different from the Z1 Universe Marisa's. One of the distinguishing features of this world is that it gets an awful lot of parallel-world visitors!
Red Marisa came to this universe... along with the blue Reimu. That was the order given to her by the de-facto director of interworld investigations, Yukari Yakumo. She had no choice but to obey.
After Marisa helped lay the groundwork for the restoration of her world, she left the rest of the work in her friends' capable hands and set out on a journey across parallel worlds in search of her world's Reimu. Yukari, blue Reimu, and their allies are the ones helping her travel to other worlds, and she's grateful to them, so she can't afford to be picky about where she is sent. But still, she wasn't happy being paired up with blue Reimu.
"Why do I have to wake up to see Reimu's face every day..."
"Hey, I'm not happy about this, either!"
Blue Reimu looks identical to the Reimu that disappeared before Marisa's eyes. This didn't come as a surprise to Marisa. She had studied the magical theory concerning parallel worlds, so she knew what to expect. But no theory could prepare her for what it actually felt like. Each time she sees Reimu, she has to stop herself from falling into a delusion―the delusion that her Reimu has returned to her and that her long journey and centuries of torment are finally at an end...
The greater youkai must have known this would happen. That's why she ordered them to investigate together. Marisa can't be trusted to investigate other worlds if she can't overcome this trial and acquaint herself with seeing other Reimus. The biggest hurdle with a journey across parallel worlds has nothing to do with technical limitations. Nor is it the enemies or world-ending disasters you may encounter. It's the temptation to give up.
Red Marisa understood Yukari's reasoning, and while she wasn't happy about it, she was confident she could adapt. She's looking for a shrine maiden, so there has to be a clue in this world of endless New Year's celebrations. She was determined to find it. And besides, while her Reimu and the blue Reimi may look the same, they aren't. Her Reimu is carefree and lazy, whereas the blue Reimu is tough, hardworking, and quick to anger... kind of like Marisa herself.
Attacks
Alter Narrow Spark
The Spread Shot of Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with the light of the rising Sun on New Year's Day. Marisa's magic brush has been dipped in ink composed of hihi'irokane suspended in a liquid solution. By painting magical sigils with this brush, she can temporarily replicate the effects of her mini hakkero. This fighting style is perfect for New Year's.

Dark Stellar
The Focus Shot of Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with the light of the starry sky on New Year's Eve. Since this Marisa renounced her humanity, according to the rules of Gensokyo, she should have been exterminated. This never happened because it's the Hakurei shrine maiden's duty to deal with humans that have turned into youkai, and she no longer exists in this Marisa's world.
The only thing that saved Marisa from such a tragic confrontation with her best friend was her wish, which caused her best friend to disappear. The irony is not lost on Marisa, and she's in a good enough place now that she can laugh about it.

First Love Sign: First Sunrise Master Spark
A Spell Card of Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a laser of celebratory light from the first sunrise of the new year. Red Marisa has quite a few scars on her back, but she doesn't try to hide them. However, it's not like she displays them as a mark of pride, either. She has merely accepted them and the mistakes they represent as a part of herself. Marisa also likes how they help distinguish her from other Marisas. Her scars really aren't an issue compared to her millennium of torment, where she couldn't even celebrate a single New Year's Day. This is all to say that she had no misgivings going for the cool off-shoulder kimono look.

Dreamy Astrologic Sign: Orrery's Rising Sun
A Spell Card of Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a laser of blessed light from the first sunrise of the new year. When this Marisa first saw the blue Reimu, she couldn't believe how powerful and brave she was. She knew that Reimu had been traveling across parallel worlds for a long time, but she had assumed that this couldn't compare to her thousand years of experience. Coming face-to-face with the brutal nature of interworld travel, she resolved never to get overconfident again. She wasn't going to let Reimu one-up her.

Miraculous Dream Sungrazer
The Last Word of Marisa Kirisame, the Witch of Scarlet Dreams, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She prays that she will be able to resolve the big incident. All kinds of interworld travelers visit this world, and they all want to resolve the big incident. The problem is that they all go about it in different ways. It's terribly confusing, and what makes it more confusing is that Marisa and her allies utilize the parallel nature of parallel worlds to investigate multiple worlds simultaneously. If the other interworld travelers use the same method, there could be an infinite number of them.
But, no, that doesn't add up. That's like saying since every person has two parents, the previous generation must have had double the total population, all the way back to a ridiculous number of initial humans. However, it's not like the population doubles with each subsequent generation, either. Perhaps there is a limit to how many worlds interworld travelers can be simultaneously sent to from any one world.
