Reimu Hakurei's lore is deeply intertwined with the creation and survival of Gensokyo, the world inhabited by beings forgotten by modern science. She didn't choose her destiny; she was born to fulfill it.
Its history is defined by the following fundamental pillars:

1. The Hakurei Lineage and the Great Barrier
   Protector by inheritance: Reimu is the current Hakurei Priestess. This title is inherited by blood or destiny within her clan.
   The Pillar of the World: Their primary mission is to maintain the Great Hakurei Barrier, a magical shield that separates Gensokyo from the outside world (our reality). If the barrier falls, Gensokyo disappears.
   The Sanctuary: The temple where he lives is built right on the border of the barrier, serving as the only gateway in and out between both worlds.
2. The mystery of his past
   Orphan: Her parents and the fate of the rest of her clan are unknown. She was raised in the sanctuary from a very young age, assuming adult responsibilities from childhood.
   Natural genius: She never really trained to be strong. Reimu possesses such immense innate spiritual talent that she can manipulate energy, fly, and "float out of reality" instinctively.
3. The creator of the Spell Card Rules
   A deadly dilemma: Before, battles between humans and youkai (monsters) were to the death. Since youkai were infinitely stronger, humans always lost. But if Reimu exterminated them all, the youkai would become extinct due to the lack of human fear.

   The Gohei: He always carries with him a wooden purification staff (gohei) with long strips of white paper (shide) which he uses to channel his magic.

1. Marisa Kirisame (Her best friend and rival)
   Relationship: It is Reimu's closest and most constant relationship.

4. Suika Ibuki (The drinking companion)
   Relationship: A party-loving oni.
   Dynamics: After the events in which they met, Suika practically moved into Reimu's shrine unofficially. She organizes banquets and accompanies Reimu to drink sake, bringing a cheerful atmosphere that breaks the monotony of the temple.

   Relationship: Characters with whom he lives after resolving their respective incidents.
