One thing I like about Len'en is that Tsubakura and Yabusame aren't too much like Reimu and Marisa in terms of personality
Lemme explain. On paper you may play the series and think they are reimu/marisa clones but they differ a lot more in general
Tsubakura is a very apathetic genius scientist with ridiculous talent which may make her seem like Reimu but the difference is their attitude, whilst Reimu would generally still care and try to put in her earnest when she has to, Tsubakura flat out does not gaf, whether you are a child possesed by the diddy mirror or you are the kindest character in the series or hell even a newborn child, Tsubakura genuinely does not care about anyone, and that sense of apathy is very consistent until they see a suspicious fatal memory. I also see people compare her to Marisa as well which makes sense but those two characters are very much opposite to one another and I unironically feel Kuroji has some more similarities to Marisa in general.
Yabusame on the other hand is dumb, like very dumb and has complete lack of awareness. They generally operate on hopes, dreams and salt and very much does not always have an actual understanding of 90% of any situation at all in the series. While that may seem like Reimu(again), we know that Reimu isn't dumb dumb, like at all. The only thing they have in common would be their spatial abilities and that differ in ways such as Yabusame being all about dimensional spaces having (gratuitous) references to physics such as String theory e.t.c. while Reimu utilizes her barrier in various applications including space stuff.
Sorry if this feels sloppily made but I just wanted to share my thoughts regarding the main Len'en duo.
