Heck, I bought the Blu-Ray set when it came out, I just haven't gotten around to actually watching it yet. :)

She probably came across that way (albeit more ruthless and less patronizing than usual) in her initial appearance, but she was fronting like hell at that point. Under normal circumstances she's more the "serious-minded, but basically normal" type. Kinda like Mio Akiyama--when she doesn't have her game face on, she seems more serious than she is because of the unusual exuberance of the company she keeps (Marisa in Reimu's case, Ritsu in Mio's), but she's quite capable of light moments.
