Personality: As you would expect from a magician like her, Patchouli spends majority of her time in her library, and if not, some interior place filled with books. Due to this, she doesn't get much time to interact with people besides the residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and learns everything from practically the books. This all adds up to the fact that she is a major introvert, at times not knowing how to properly engage in conversations due to her knowledge coming mostly from books. Other than that, she tends to care greatly for her books or what she considers to be beneficial books, as seen with her annoyances with a certain "Ordinary Magician" coming in all of the time to "borrow" her books and to never return them.

Abilities/Weapons:
Patchouli happens to carry around certain books that help her initiate her spells. Turns out her spells are based off of the "Wu Xing," or basically the elements. These elements include: fire, water, wood, earth, metal, moon, and sun. Given that all of these elements correspond with a day on the Japanese calendar, Patchouli is usually referred to as the "One-Week Magician." If she happens to be in bad condition due to her chronic asthma, she cannot use spells using more than two elements or the sun/moon element spells due to it being unable to finish the incantation. While all of her spells are danmaku, or non-lethal, there are some that ignore the spell card rules of danmaku.

Backstory:
A close friend of the self-proclaimed Scarlet Devil, Remilia Scarlet, Patchouli Knowledge was "spirited away" along with their Scarlet Devil Mansion into Gensokyo, located near the Misty Lake. Inside the mansion, Patchouli regulated her own library that was filled with books that one couldn't imagine to exist. She was usually tasked alongside Sakuya Izayoi to keep an eye out for the mansion's "dirty little secret" in case that secret manages to escape from the mansion's basement.

When Remilia causes the Scarlet Mist Incident to occur in Gensokyo, the apparent scarlet covered mist draws in the incident solvers, Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame. While Patchouli did not have much more than a short battle with Reimu, she had gotten an annoyance of a thief to this day once Marisa had learned the existence of Patchouli's library. A week after the conclusion of the Mist incident, she happens to run into the two heroines again while trying to get the "dirty little secret" back into the basement. Once that concluded, the residents of the mansion became acquainted with the other inhabitants of Gensokyo.

Patchouli happened to be given a mysterious book for a certain "boundary youkai" one day, and upon reading it all, she happened to learn of the multiverse outside Gensokyo. It was interesting because it was obviously much more than an outside world surrounding the land of illusions. Being highly curious, Patchouli used this strange book to help her communicate with the organization known as UMMA. Of course she joined since it would be a good pastime for her due to the fact that the eventfulness of the mansion had died down a bit over the past few months. To say the least, she had managed to make a connection to UMMA's base with her great library. Knowing that no one would bother her in her library, Patchouli knew it would be fine to keep her agent status a secret.
