Marisa's usual outfit at the Scarlet Devil Tower. Apparently, it looks red because of redshift.

I'm Marisa Kirisame. I was once called the Witch of Scarlet Dreams. Nice to meet you.
Introduction
My name is Marisa Kirisame, and I'm the Witch of Scarlet Dreams. I've never seen a human like you before. So you're travelling to different worlds to resolve troublesome incidents? ...You're asking how I know? Well, I've been a witch for a long time. Of course I know. Anyway... What am I like in your world? Am I alive? What kind of person am I? What's my relationship with Reimu?
Purple Heart
I believe the essence of magic lies in the fulfillment of desires. What do you think?
Blue Heart
Regular humans can use magic too. I always knew that, but I'm even more convinced after meeting you.
Green Heart
Saying magic is not a coherent system is a fallacy―it reduces magic to a definition that is far too narrow. Magic is just another interpretation of the world.
Orange Heart
You want to reconfigure different abilities into one to resolve the incident? That's a pretty interesting thought, but you'll need magic to do that. Are you prepared to put in the effort?
Pink Heart
I can tell you've got guts, but it's still not enough. Sure, I'm the one who'll be doing the magic, but you're the one I'll be doing the magic on. We're sticking together till the end, so I'm not gonna go easy on you! You better be prepared.
Summer
The stars Vega, Altair and Deneb make up the famous Summer Triangle. It's easy to spot because the stars are so bright, right?
Login
Let's get started then. Huh? Obviously, I'm talking about magic research. If we're not careful, we'll be left behind? By who? Reimu, of course!
Enhancement
Bullets are power. That is an unchangeable truth.
Return
So there are bullets like that too... Oh, I'm just talking to myself.
Home 1
I'm me wherever I am. I'm not just similar to the me of the past―the me of the present is still me. Want to talk to the other "me"? I do too!
Home 2
Now that I think about it, Patchouli and Alice have pretty much not changed at all. Sure, magicians have long lives... but maybe it's more that those two are so firm in their beliefs.
Home 3
When Reimu's happy, it makes me want to compete with her, but when she's down, it makes me want to cheer her up. I guess it's still competing either way.
Reaction 1
I left my broom alone for a bit and then it grew.
Reaction 2
This hakkero makes weird movements sometimes.
Reaction 3
A tsukumogami from something that's still being used... Is that even possible?
Task
A task? If it's for research, it's worth doing.
Task Complete
You did your task. Now we're one step closer to the goal.
Mail
Some mail came. Could you take a look for me?
Errand Finished
Somebody's back from an errand. Hope they brought some rare stuff back.
Start of Battle
This is a great chance to test my firepower.
Mid-Wave
Not bad. Not bad at all!
Victory
That was good. I should be able to unleash even more power next time.
Defeat
Hm... Seems I've still got more to improve on...

Character Information
Temperament: Hiderigami
Hiderigami (a Touhou LW original) refers to drought, but at the same time it also refers to a god that causes drought. Perhaps the temperament is connected to how this version of Marisa keeps radiating fiery heat from the heavens...? Because of this Marisa's peculiar circumstances, her Phase and Essence endowments are completely different from the usual. Sun Essence (the celestial star that provides heat), Moon Essence (the giant star of the night brimming with magic), and Star Essence (celestial bodies in general) all fall under the rules of astronomy and are thus contained within this Marisa, making them ineffective against her. Conversely, Wood Phase, which is free-spirited and full of young life, is her weakness.
Ability/Backstory: Capable of using magic?
It is likely that this version of Marisa's ability started off the same as our version of Marisa's ability, but as she changed, so did her ability. However, it is still unknown. It is probably deeply connected to stars. Red stars are considered bad omens, so perhaps her ability itself is an omen. Stars are used as another way to talk about fate and destiny. It is also said that you become a star after death. There may be a strange correlation between human lives and the stars in the sky. In other words, you could say that existence itself is in the astral plane, and those with physical bodies on earth are but astral dreams―no more than shadows. One by one, the stars in the night sky connect the astral plane and the shadows... It is just an idea, but the theory behind it is solid.
Attacks
Hakkero Fire
Marisa Kirisame (the Witch of Scarlet Dreams)'s Spread Shot (a Touhou LW original). This attack uses the pillars of fire that burst out from the bewitched mini hakkero. When the mini hakkero turned into a simple tsukumogami during a certain incident, this was the only technique Marisa could use, if "use" is the right word for the out-of-control flames. However, this version of Marisa has been a witch for a very long time, and the mini hakkero that was always at her side awoke once more as a tsukumogami. It is a little strange though, since normally tsukumogami are supposed to be formed from tools that are no longer being used...
Bullets
Heaven Fire Bullet
Marsh Fire Bullet
Thunder Fire Bullet
Wind Fire Bullet
Mountain Fire Bullet
Ground Fire Bullet
Cold Inferno
Marisa Kirisame (the Witch of Scarlet Dreams)'s Focus Shot (a Touhou LW original). She uses the low-temperature spiritual energy that the mini hakkero shoots out to attack. This was originally an experimental shot that Marisa almost never used. This version of Marisa is specialized in emitting heat, but that also means that she is discharging cold air in a different way. She is probably using this exhaust heat―rather, exhaust cold―to stabilize her former experimental shot.
Bullets
Frostbite Bullet
Cold Air Bullet
Chill Burn Bullet

Ice Hell Bullet
Cold Hell Bullet
Red Side: Alter Spark
Marisa Kirisame (the Witch of Scarlet Dreams)'s Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with a discolored Master Spark. It seems similar to Dark Spark, but the lasers are a different color. Master Spark bullets are bullets of light that shoot straight and far like starlight. Stars change color and size as they age... This version of Marisa may have been aware of this fact.
Bullets
Red Master Spark Bullet
Flaming Master Spark Bullet
Crimson Master Spark Bullet
Brilliant Master Spark Bullet
Explosive Master Spark Bullet
Rampaging Hot Master Spark Bullet
Supergiant: Antares
Marisa Kirisame (the Witch of Scarlet Dreams)'s Spell Card (a Touhou LW original). This bullet hell attack drops a huge red star that is ripe like a fruit. In regular magic, celestial bodies are nothing more than countless small skylights that shine brightly. However, as far as this attack is concerned, this version of Marisa treats celestial bodies as spherical worlds like the earth and the moon. Maybe this is because Marisa has accurately deciphered literature from the outside world... Or is it secondhand knowledge from elsewhere?
Bullets
Red Star Bullet
Great Fire Bullet
Harvest Star Bullet
Drunken Star Bullet
Liquid Fire Bullet
Scorpion Heart Bullet
Garnet Star
Marisa Kirisame (the Witch of Scarlet Dream)'s Last Word (a Touhou LW original). This attack shoots forth a red meteor. You could say it's this Marisa's Blazing Star. The real-life Garnet Star which this attack is named after is a strange star with fluctuating brightness. Perhaps this Marisa came up with the attack after finding out about it, interpreting it as a capricious star that sometimes comes closer and sometimes moves farther away.
