Deep in the mountains of an eastern land, the Hakurei shrine was a little peaceful. Speaking of the Hakurei shrine, there is the shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei, who isn't so carefree at the moment. If you must ask why, it is because there's a constant flow of demons, although not too much, appearing from their own world, Makai. Thus, Reimu is obligated to constantly exterminate them, constantly leaving no time for herself. Reimu: "It's been a little too strange lately." Since Reimu felt something strange was occurring, it would be her duty to investigate it, and so she searched for the source of the demons. Eventually, Reimu discovered that the demons appeared from "The Cave in Which the Door to Makai is Said to Be" (yes, that's it) which has existed since ancient times in the mountains behind the shrine. Reimu: This is the place. No point in endlessly bashing small fry. I've got to ram through the front gates and show the ringleader who's boss. Marisa Kirisame, who was observing this... Marisa: Hmm, Makai huh, that sounds fun. Marisa decided to take a little tourism trip, and behind Reimu's back, made haste to Makai. Marisa: Oh yeah, how am I supposed to get in? (sweat) --Meanwhile Two of the residents of the human world, Mima, the evil spirit, and Yuuka, the youkai, aren't too happy about the fact that demons have barged their way into the human world. Mima: Those snobby Makai demons. Don't they know that the human world is mine? Yuuka: Seems exciting, I've always wanted to go to Makai! Not sure exactly why, but the two headed for Makai themselves. ...Yeah.

Shrine Maiden Reimu Hakurei

A shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, who possesses natural-born spiritual power but lacks training. She exterminates youkai by attacking them with amulets, firing her spiritual power in a Spiritual Attack and releasing the power of the Yin-Yang Orb.
She's an optimist. She faces some strange incidents, but still she enjoys them.Because of her slightly emotional and simple character, she's often made fun of by Marisa.

Marisa Kirisame - A Magician

She's an ordinary girl, even though she's a magician. Her personality is somewhat self-confident, but has enough power to support her confidence too.

She's very intelligent, and is looking for power, but is still a child. What she does in her daily life is unknown. In fact, she's a hard worker.

Apparently she has different standards of behavior from Reimu.

Mima - An Evil Spirit

An evil spirit that has been living (?) for very long time. As she can't remember things for such a long time, she appears to be enjoying her current days.

She is like the deity (evil deity) of the Shrine by now, but her personality is more human-ish than human.

Yuka grew up in Fantasy World in a wealthy family. Eventually she was diagnosed with the curse of immortality and actually outlived her parents. She is 80 years old and still has the appearance of a 20-year-old. Building influence steadily, she is now the leader of the fantasy world. She keeps her distance from both Hell and Makai.She raised Elly as her own child and she is the only one she likes.

Alice is one of Shinki's many bastard children. Alice was born with a huge amount of raw magic that, if harnessed, would make her the most powerful witch in Makai, surpassing even Shinki.Shinki didn't want this and so she exiled Alice to Wonderland.Wonderland is an abnormal and dangerous world where no one survives for long. Alice not only survived but also created a separate kingdom there. She harnessed her powers and decided to return to Makai to dethrone her mother.

Yumeko is Shinki's right hand and Shinki's most trusted confidant. Yumeko is a masochist and enjoys suffering at the hands of Shinki. Shinki sees her as a toy but a very useful tool that she has come to appreciate more. Yumeko conveys Shinki's orders in a clear manner to everyone else.
