good ending: Marisa becomes a youkai.
bad ending: Marisa has Reimu exorcize her or whatever, thus allowing ZUN to delay any resolution to this plot point indefinitely.
true ending: Not enough humans are actually afraid of Marisa, and in fact they hold her in a certain amount of awe. Thus, while Marisa losing her humanity is inevitable, she instead becomes a god. However, she's pretty dogshit at actually getting faith, but not bad enough that she stops being a god, so she's basically just like Minoriko (blesses your crops by working in the field and curses them by trampling it) and Shizuha (goes out and physically paints the leaves), and the majority of her power comes from the magic she knew as a human, it's just a bit easier to use now. Reimu's the one who becomes a youkai.
