Patchouli is the only Touhou character I like based on her personality. Unless someone is earth-shatteringly evil, I tend to make up my mind about video game characters based on their appearance and theme song (where applicable; both originals and fan interpretations). These two combined push the left side of the Like/Dislike seesaw way up for Parsee

I tend to base my opinions on video game characters (specifically Touhou) on their personality and how they act in general, the things they do, why they do them, how they interact with other characters etc. Sure their design and theme song(s) may look and sound appealing to me, but if they have a nasty personality or are unapologetically malicious, then i won't like them (Reimu), or in rare cases i will hate them (that fire trucking tengu). Yeah it's not really a smart or sensical criteria but it makes sense to me, given that i'm a very empathetic and sensitive person who has little patience with unpleasant people
