Reimu's mother

- Does Reimu had an loving family ? Who could been her mother ?
- Did she reincarnated everytime ?

In my fanon Reimu's mother was PC-98 Reimu.

Marisa is a youkai magician even if she won't admit it

As for the other questions I tend to see it like Reimu Jr. did not have a particularly fulfilling family life and didn't really get to know anyone too well during her childhood, thus explaining her aloofness and complete lack of compassion for everyone she encounters. She's not a bitch per se, just a product of her environment.

I think the same, Hakurei Miko - Reimu ( PC98 ) was Waku Miko Reimu mother


Marisa might been Youkai from the start -
but it's werid when you meet Young Alice as much older Marisa, and then Alice - bein' an Youkai is way older)

In the name of fanon and barely founded theories?

The miko of a shrine is often the daughter of the resident priest. So since the Hakurei shrine doesn't seem to have any obvious tradition of priests, it's not unthinkable that the position as Hakurei miko is passed down from mother to daughter.

That leaves the question what happened to the priests, if ever there were any. Shingyoku is/are the only one(s) associated with the shrine other than Reimu who seem to be religious characters, both of which seem extremely ancient. I'm a bit rusty on the history of the shrine, but it would seem the Hakurei shrine has existed in some form for a very long time, far longer than Gensokyo or the Hakurei border have been around.

As for Reimu's direct ancestors, judging from appearance and association with the shrine it would seem at least one of them is still around, quite alive and kicking. Just perhaps not quite herself.

She's ZUN and Yukari's daughter.

Well, it's not unusual for monks and priests to become oni, I heard those of strong conviction could rise from their graves out of sheer religious zeal and sense of duty, so even in death they can still serve. Maybe Konngara did something like that, but sort of got it wrong.

Perhaps it's just a matter of there being no such thing as free lunch. All that impurity the old shinto priests went around cleansing quite freely is bound to end up somewhere.
It's quite common knowledge how the harder you try to destroy what you hate, the worse the risk of becoming the very same thing.

I HAVE COME TO DESTROY YOU.

>> No.6449830

Forgive this lapse of fanon from me, but I like to think that Reimu was born solely for the purpose of maintaining Gensokyo's Hakurei Shrine, even if the parents protested about it. While the Hakurei family may have at one point been a religiously and spiritually powerful family, it died out around the time all the youkai disappeared, and Reimu is the very last of her family. She does maintain certain traditions from her family, though, such as guarding the sacred Hakurei Yin-Yang Orb and dying her hair brown as a sort of rite of womanhood.

Meanwhile, Earth's Hakurei Shrine is barely cared for, and is merely watched over until a) Gensokyo ceases to exist and the youkai return to Earth, or b) a new line of Hakurei can be born. But since the last member with pure blood is far, far away, whoever watches over the Hakurei Shrine on Earth has to be either distantly related to the family or has to have been in a family with close ties to the Hakurei.

This gives me the thought that Yukari kidnaps Hakurei children from outside where their line is diluted but large enough to find a suitable candidate. There can be no meddling from parents that way, as well.

Not so sure Konngara is an oni, though, but the basic idea is the same.

Basically a priest who has been wronged in life in such a way that he can't pass on properly, takes measures to be transmigrated into a demon when he dies in order to claim revenge. Once dead and in his new form, he effortlessly exacts his vengeance (in mere moments) only to realise he's now stuck being a demon (indefinitely).

And so I assume this is where Sariel comes in? Probably s/he goes to Makai thinking that's where Konngara is, only to see that there's only a group of floating eyes and a magician/devil.
