patchouli_knowledge
The "Unmoving Great Library". Stage 4 boss of Touhou's Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and later a recurring playable character in the first few fighting games.
She has long purple hair with blunt bangs, matching_eyes, and multiple blue and red/pink hair_bows. She wears a pink or white mob cap with a crescent_ornament on it, as well as a ribbon, and single or double bun covers. She also wears a vertically_striped, purple dress under a robe with long, wide sleeves, and has white shoes with bows on them.
A magician youkai, resident librarian and instructor of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and a close friend to Remilia Scarlet. She has mastery over the seven elements corresponding to Japanese weekday names - Sun, Moon, Fire, Metal, Wood, Water and Earth - earning her the nickname "One-Week Wizard", but her reclusive lifestyle (she's apparently not left her library in 100 years, which is interpreted in some doujins as signs of hikikomori behavior) has taken a toll on her health, limiting her powers by way of asthma and anemia. Due to her baggy clothing, her bust size and overall body shape are still open to debate.
On NicoNico, she is linked to Gachimuchi thanks to a certain misheard line uttered by Billy Herrington. Such images are tagged with: "Patchouli, Urgh!" in Pixiv.
