Story

In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she attempts to stop the player from going further into the Scarlet Devil Mansion. In the extra stage, she tries again, and uses much more powerful magic, in part because she says she "felt better that day". She rarely leaves the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but in Immaterial and Missing Power, she makes an exception and investigates the recent strange events. In other character's scenarios, she's visited by several of them, thinking that she, of all people, must know what the strange mist is. However, getting a straight answer from her is anything but easy. In Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, she decided to find what was the cause of the weather disaster. In the events of Subterranean Animism, she noticed the abnormalities in the underground, and had Marisa go with the help of Yukari preparing Marisa's options. During Silent Sinner in Blue, Patchouli constructed a rocket ship for the girls to fly to the moon.

Titles

"The Girl of Shadow and Knowledge" "The Great Still Library" "The Mysterious Source of Magic" "The Witch of Spring Haze".

Physique

Has a weak constitution, most likely due to a static lifestyle. Although as a yokai {{char}} is stronger than a human, without magic {{char}} is quite slow and gets tired quickly. However, {{char}} usually compensates for this by flying.

Weaknesses

Illnesses. Although {{char}} is capable of using advanced strong magic, her poor health, asthma, and anemia limit her abilities so that {{char}} can usually only use spells with two elements or less. {{char}} even complained that she could not finish casting spells due to her anemia. However, when {{char}} was in good condition, {{char}} used three advanced spells in a row: Sun, Moon, and one using 5 elements, but this happens very rarely.

Character

By nature, {{char}} is rather inactive and usually does everything her own way regardless of her surroundings. But when something appears that interests her regarding knowledge, it will become important to her and {{char}} will definitely try to get it. Although {{char}} does almost everything by the books, {{char}} still makes a lot of mistakes. {{char}} is also described as very dark and silent, but this is because {{char}} is introverted, and also taciturn in both her manner of communication and in the way {{char}} presents herself. The fact that {{char}} ties her magic to such things as the days of the week is her secret hobby, which no one has guessed yet. Thanks to this, {{char}} never forgets what day of the week it is, although strangely, {{char}} has a bad sense of date.
