About Marisa and Okina's Servant test

I just comparing the extra's story of each character and I notice something: It's look like Marisa "passed" the test (no matter how much she didn't wanted it) is because, of all the playable characters, she's the one closest to being an "ordinary human", with flaw and vice, and cowardice in her heart. Yet despise all that, she kept on to challenge against Okina with her bravery and stubborness, and won. (In Spell Card, but apparently it's the heart that count, literally)

That got me thinking : Is the two sisters servant's also similarly challenged like that? Does the requirement then is being a human with a strong and tenacious souls then, even though eventually they're going to be puppets? Just how bad of a taste does she have anyway.

Cirno also passed the test. I don't think it has anything to do with being ordinary, you just have to impress Okina. Whether that be through strength or wisdom or courage or whatever. Mai and Satono are clearly implied to have passed the test in the past. Okina simply wants highly capable servants: that's the whole point of boosting everyone to their maximum potential first.

I think he meant how it couldn't be Reimu because she's the Hakurei shrine maiden.

What ever happened to miscellaneous questions/miscellaneous thoughts and commentary anyway?
My name is Tres. It sounds like "Tray". Tressert is "Tray-zurt"; like Tres dessert.

Misc Questions is still stickied. Misc Thoughts/Commentary died though it seems, but anyone is welcome to start a new one up.

I think it's pretty straightforward to read that there's no way Okina could use the Hakurei shrine maiden as her servant because she already serves a role that is more important. It doesn't have anything to do with Reimu not otherwise being qualified.
