reu (cookie)
Voice of Hakurei Reimu in the original Cookie☆. Well known for her line "Puhaa~, Kyou mo ii tenki" (Exhale, today's weather is good too.), while holding her yunomi. Portrayed in either chiikorin's or Huei Nazuki's style with short brown hair, red eyes, and no frills on her hair bow. Often drawn plump and with large breasts.
Got into voice acting by being friends with Uzuki in high school, later working with Alison Airlines. As one of the main characters of Cookie, she received a very large of both positive and negative attention. Unlike the others, she mostly accepted it and was more open with the fans about how Hazuna Rio treated her. Her weight led to many comments, with haters calling her a pig. Besides her Puhaa line, other jokes include her cosplays of Kagamine Rin being drawn as the swimsuit from Kagamine Len no Bousou, and her obsession with longhorn beetles.
She also led to three derivative characters:
- Sakenomi: "Kono sakenomi ga!" (You drunkard!). A chibi version of her drawn for a frame when addressing Suika. Since then has become a separate minigirl character.
- Reu Daikon: Reu's puhaa face on a daikon. Mostly a gag character, sometimes appearing with JOKER. Very popular in the Chinese Cookie fandom as a nudge for content to avoid the great firewall.
- Ru: a pixel art version that made it to television
