>I heard she was "inspired" by something from shin megami tensei like Shinki and Yumeko, but I have nothing to back that up.

In the Persona manga there is a character that looks almost exactly the same.

It isn't

Reimu's good ending
>Shinki: No, well, you see, somehow, the denizens of Makai found out about the human world and managed to obtain the power to make a hole in the barrier. And with that, it seems they made it here without any relation to me.
>Reimu: So that means...
>Shinki: Yes, I guess that means it ended up so that they now come over here at any time, in any place.
>Reimu: Hey, what do you mean by "I guess that means"? (sweat).
>Shinki: Sorry but I can't do anything about it anymore. (sweat)
>Reimu: But even so, you're a god!
>Shinki: Er, well, you see...(sweat) Anyway, have a nice day!
>Reimu: Hey, you!
>Shinki: See ya (sweat)
Marisa's good ending
>Marisa: You're not that powerful, are you?
....
>Marisa: If I defeat the god of Makai, I'll become a god myself <3.
...
>Shinki: A-anyway, you can't become a god even if you defeat me (sweat)
Mima's good ending
>Mima: Some goddess of Makai you are.
...
Mima: Was she actually a god?
Yuuka's good ending
>Yuuka: I like picking on the weak <3
>Shinki: (sob sob)

What do all these endings have in common? That Shinki is either not a god or that she's an incredibly weak god. She can't even control her own people or beat a simple magician like Marisa. Yuuka and Mima beat her easily. So did Reimu. Hecatia and Okina are definitely stronger than her. So is Yukari.

So then she's even weaker than a god, got that. Such a reference to SMT is a reference and nothing more. There are tons of SMT references in PC-98 Touhou. Pic related is an old Persona manga with a character that Gengetsu was clearly based off of.

Still doesn't make her any less weak.
