She does quite literally use the scientific method. She's arguably one of the most science-y magicians in the setting... like PMiSS can be weird and dubious at times but it's pretty clear on how much work Marisa really does put into magical research. And what she "steals" is more imitation using the original spells as a reference. She hasn't literally stolen cards off of Patchouli and Yuuka it's more an author (or all artists in general) borrowing a concept or idea from a previous author and expanding on it (such as power armour space marines... god how many power armour space marines we've had since Starship Troopers). Some would say it's stealing, some would say it's not. Depends on the eye of the beholder
And it's weird that "intentionally destroying something that's nice for no reason but mindless instant gratification" is something only Yuuka would understand but then again maybe you just had to be there.

I mentioned it earlier, ZUN has definitely since retconned it so Danmaku is just the name for magical energy attacks which can be lethal and non-lethal. With plenty of instances in the series of characters attempting to use lethal danmaku on the players. That being said Marisa has clearly shown she can make the Master Spark non-lethal (despite it being a gigantic incineration ray) so that kind of casts doubt that Yuuka's is lethal too

>Shrine maiden engineer hybrid
Okay this is my first time hearing that theory and honestly it's really cool

>Rikako always struck me as a MILF while Rika looks like she's about twelve
It's always fun seeing people's interpretations of characters ages
I do get the idea of Rika looking like she's twelve since Reimu and Marisa also seemed to be little kids in SoEW, so I always assume older Rika depictions are just meant to be her in the current era as she naturally would grow up like Reimu and Marisa. Weird thing is I can totally see older Rikako now only because she does look more like the average Windows character in estimated visual age compared to the other human characters in PC-98 looking much younger

I like how you guys are missing the obvious fact that her name is Alice fucking Margatroid and she's a literal blond haired blue eyed girl who has dolls named after European places. It's easy to assume she's not Japanese and thus not a Gensokyo native
