Name: Reimu Hakurei
Origin: Touhou
Gender: Female
Classification: Human/Shrine Maiden/Youkai Hunter
Age: Mid-Teens (although if we go by the series timeline she should be at her twenties by now, she is also quite the drinker)
Powers and Abilities: Super strength, durability, speed, stamina, flight, purification, somewhat skilled in HtH combat (was fighting Byakuren in close combat in WaHH, also her physical attacks seem to be based mostly on kicks and even has a spell card based on this), spiritual awareness (can see and purify spirits), invincibility (based on her ability to "transcend reality," for more information, read "Last Word Spell Fantasy Nature" below), resistant to mind manipulation, dimensional manipulation (can open dimensional rifts and barriers to use in conjunction with her projectiles, warp space, teleportation, surpass reality to a degree that physical directions doesn't mean anything to her as she can surround someone by moving in a straight line, seal targets across dimensions), can summon giant Yin Yang orbs for blunt damage, barrier creation (both offensive and defensive), various amulets (effects which can create doubles of herself for surprise attacks, bind and suffocate a target, seal a target of their mobility, seal and freeze demons, inflict a massive curse, etc), can summon gods for aid, can see through disguises and illusions, energy blasts, soul manipulation (can damage/destroy spirits/souls, this is her means of bypassing the superior physiology of youkai, has killed Mima in PC-98), bypass intangibility, precognition and resurrection with the Ultramarine Orb Elixir (Removes the user's impurity of death and allows them to see the immediate future by experiencing it, and then reversing time), probability manipulation (By using the "memory" within all things, she can alter the probability of something happening, even if it goes against the laws of physics, as the "memory" layer of the world exists beyond the mental one, which in turn exists beyond the physical one, which is controlled by the laws of physics)
Weaknesses: Hasn't completely mastered the ability to summon gods yet, due to her laziness and lack of training she hasn't achieved her true potential and only relies on her sheer talent alone, can be somewhat simple minded
Destructive Capacity: Large star level+, likely higher (can one-shot virtually any Youkai with Fantasy Seal), small galaxy level+ with Yin-Yang Orb (destroyed the Earth and a celesial body in the Bad Ending of HRtP, managed to destroy Shinki's wings in MS)
Range: Planetary (destroyed Earth in the bad ending of HRtP)
Speed: MFTL+ (can cross interstellar distances in seconds), teleportation spam and dimensional/spatial movement makes her harder to hit (Aya and Marisa cannot keep up with Reimu when she uses either of these)
Durability: Large star level+, small galaxy level+ with barriers, Fantasy Nature makes her invincible to most types of attacks, making her extremely difficult to kill
Lifting Strength: Class 25 (comparable to Tenshi)
Striking Strength: Class XTJ+ (can harm powerful Youkai with melee strikes, matched Byakuren in hand-to-hand combat)
Stamina: Immense (maintained the summon of the Sumiyoshi Gods for twelve days straight which requires high concentration and prayers non-stop)
Standard equipment: Hakurei Yin-Yang Orb that aids in her spiritual attacks, amulets, an amulet with the calamity of Oomagatsumi no Kami's body, sealing needles, purification rod (also called Oonusa)
Intelligence: Knowledgeable of many Youkai, Gods and other beings, extremely perceptive (one of her born talents)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Ability to float: While flight is extremely common among inhabitants of Gensokyo, Reimu's ability extends beyond that; she is capable of phasing in & out of existence, or as described in The Grimoire of Marisa, floating away from reality. Reimu can use this power to teleport short distances, but rarely seems to be aware that she is doing so. The ultimate expression of this ability is Fantasy Nature, which renders her completely invincible while active; this ability was considered too powerful for use as a spell card until Marisa gave it a name and time limit.
- Aura manipulation: It's stated in the omake.txt (おまけ.txt) of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil that Reimu can control the natural spirits of living things, an ability which is not listed in any source afterwards. No clear instance of this ability has been displayed in canon.
- Powers as the Hakurei Shrine Maiden: As the Hakurei shrine maiden, Reimu can handle the Hakurei Yin-Yang Orbs, and is trained in youkai extermination techniques as well as standard duties like performing blessings. Reimu is also capable of summoning Gensokyo's native god powers, but she isn't well-trained enough to do so reliably.
- Barrier Techniques: Reimu displays great aptitude with magical barriers (beyond that normally associated with shrine maidens), presumably related to her work in maintaining the Great Hakurei Barrier. Among her techniques are barriers that explode, push enemies (or herself), or act as portals for her other attacks. Reimu is capable of dismantling barriers and seals too complex for Marisa Kirisame and Patchouli Knowledge to understand, with what Marisa calls her "cheat technique".
- Spirit Sign "Fantasy Orb": Fires homing spirit orbs.
- Treasure Tool "Yin-Yang Sanctifier Orb": A Yin-Yang orb made of immense spiritual energy. Not only is it useful as a direct attack, but the long-lasting aftereffect is powerful, too.

- "Fantasy Nature": Upon casting, seven Yin-Yang orbs appear. One lights every time you hit the enemy; when all are lit, a large-scale attack envelops the whole field.
- Last Word Spell Fantasy Nature: A technique that is extreme in many ways. With Reimu's ability to float, she floats from everything in reality and becomes virtually invincible. Even though the Spell Card rules imposes a time limit, Reimu can otherwise keep it up for as long as she wishes. This makes it so that most influences cannot reach her (these include the ability to reach across dimensions such as the Outside World and locations displaced from time and even other planes of existence to an extent such as dreams).

- Divine Spirit Fantasy Seal "Blink": Reimu herself only moves in a straight line, but somehow completely surrounds you. If you think she'll pass you from the front, she'll pop out from behind of you.

- Divine Spirit "Fantasy Seal": A spell card that forcibly seals you with bullets of light that ignore the laws of physics. One of Reimu's most powerfull spells, stated by Marisa that is capable of one-shotting almost every Youkai by force.

- Divine Arts "Demon Binding Circle": A spell card in which mysterious powers take away the freedom of the body to move. It binds oni in a certain way which seems to be how it also binds humans as well. It also can be used by centering the barrier around Reimu herself.
