Sometimes Reimu has brown hair, sometimes she has black hair. Sometimes Youmu has red eyes, sometimes, blue, and even sometimes silver. Many characters have varying aspects to their design that change around based on both canon and fanon elements that I feel are often overlooked, so today I looked into a bunch of these elements, talking about the ones that I thought were the most interesting. I hope you enjoy!
