Spring had come to Gensokyo, and nobody cared.
— The first words of the fanfic
"YOU RIPPED MY HAT!"
— Marisa shouting at Lily White, Chapter 1
"Wha-Marisa? Who, big laser, not there and…Where did you come from?"
"Rinnosuke's shop. Haven't you heard? I'm sold in six-packs, ze."
Chapter 2
She wore a smart but elaborate blue-and-black suit and covered her aquamarine hair with the single most ridiculous hat that Yukari had ever seen in her long life of meeting people with ridiculous hats.
Chapter 13, Yukari musing on the penchant for Touhou characters for wearing hats
Yukari looked around the spacious room and suddenly felt a pang of empathy for her onetime rival, the youkai queen. Perhaps her totalitarian conquest had not been motivated by a desire to become an absolute tyrant. Maybe she just wanted the power to make people shut up for once.
Chapter 15
"For I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning of the end. And I will strike down with great vengeance and furious anger on those who attempted to betray and destroy me!"
— Ex-Rumia to Rumia, Chapter 18
"Yeah, well. Occupational hazard. Can't go around hanging out with gods and demons all the time and not expect to get hit by a few lightning bolts."
Reimu Hakurei, Chapter 21: Praying for a Miracle
"Oh, that part still hasn't changed. But still, I can't help but wonder if I'm becoming too used to taking the practical road. As you know, I've always prided myself as a realist, but maybe I've lost a little too much idealism. After all, aren't gods supposed to help the downtrodden and save the wicked from themselves?"
Kanako Yasaka, Chapter 21 again
"So before I retire, let me leave you with one final thought. Until next time, everyone."
— Yuuka to the Reader, Chapter 31
Marisa:"Come on, Reddie. You may be a cranky, selfish lazy-ass…"
Reimu:"So are you!"
Marisa:"Just the middle bit, but still. You do have a really bad hero complex. Sure, you bitch up a storm every time you gotta go outta your way to help someone, but you still do it, ze. It's who you are."
— Chapter 31: All the Right Reasons
The witch wasn't exactly social, but she wasn't shy either, and had more than a few… trysts under her belt, one of which Reimu had accidentally walked in on already, to her disgust, Marisa's delight, and some poor farmer boy's absolute horror.
Chapter 47
Marisa: "…Yukari sapped my mojo like the cheap bitch she is and sicced her talking monkey on me?"
Reimu: "Yukari has a monkey?"
Mima: "She means Kotohime Sonozika."
Reimu: "Oh."
Chapter 47 again
"Well, if this is a playground, you're the biggest bully in it!"
Reimu, talking to Yukari, in chapter 49: Ties of Friendship
"It is fair, Marisa," she said softly. She gave the pole a push, sending the boat back into motion. "Because you got the same thing everyone else gets. You got a lifetime. No more, no less. You got a lifetime."
Komachi to Marisa, Chapter 58
