Fukami

Fukami (フカミ) is a humanoid octopus appearing in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. He is one of Wadanohara's current familiars.
== Physical Description ==
Fukami has raceless white skin and short light blue hair cut to chin length in a hime fashion. His dark gray eyes are depicted with horizontal slitted irises like a true cephalopod. Alongside his humanoid legs, he has six long pinkish tentacles.
He wears a white knee-length navy blue trimmed coat with long sleeves that come over his black-gloved hands. A scarf-like tie - matching the color of the trim - is tied around his neck with a small white anchor symbol embroidery. His pants are black, as are his boots, with decorative non-functional suckers on the side of them. As seen in the manga, Fukami wears a sweater vest with a dress shirt under his coat.
In the bad end "Betrayal," Fukami is shown with glowing red eyes.
In the past, before becoming Wadanohara's familiar, he led a delinquent lifestyle and had long straight bangs that came over his left eye and rough lengthy hair pulled back into a ponytail. From the little we can see, he is suited in a simple black turtleneck. In this particular livestream drawing, he has a small bandage on his left chin to indicate the many fights he's gotten into. 
== Personality ==
Fukami is a quiet, impulsive, and staunchly loyal familiar - often only using few words to get his point across. He has a silent intensity within him that is shown through his glares and actions. Due to his protective nature, an especially violent side of him is displayed when it comes to those he perceives as traitors. At the same time, he doesn't hesitate to put himself in the way of danger in order to defend Wadanohara and his fellow familiars during the Totsusa invasion. 
Fukami has an impulsive nature and sharp reflexes with a body that acts faster than his mind. This can be seen positively in the way he embraces Wadanohara with his tentacles while sleeping and how fast he is to catch her when she trips. At his worst, he strangles those he consider to be adversaries such as Samekichi with the intent to kill or maim - only stopping from outer causes. Deep-Sea Prisoner describes him as the sort of person who gets caught between putting his own needs first, and acting without regard for himself. Before meeting Wadanohara, he showed even less restraint in his actions as he used to be "rough around the edges and fought a lot."
Fukami is extremely conservative with his outward expressions as he does not smile even if he feels happy or joyful. The only time he smiled was during the second bad ending "Betrayal" in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. He is said to "only laugh through one emotion." Due to being unable to properly express himself, it appears that it's difficult for him to interpret his own or others' desires well. For example, in the manga, when asking Wadanohara what her favorite thing was, she mentioned that she likes ducks. With good intentions, he proceeded to make a decadent but inappropriately heavy hotpot meal at bedtime. When asked what kind of meat was inside, he answered that the meat was "duck." The next morning, he pondered over what could it be that he's done wrong, suggesting that social situations are not his forte.
Due to the feelings he possesses for Wadanohara he harbors great jealousy towards Samekichi for stealing her attention. However, he does not act on these feelings without outside interference, even going as far as to comfort Wadanohara in accordance with Samekichi's disappearance in the true end of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea.
As stated in the manga, his favorite color is white. His favorite food is a set of tea and sweets and "meat dripping with blood." His specialties are cooking, baking, and octopus punch. After the True Ending, Fukami feels more comfortable and speaks more often than he did before. He is a top. 
== Background ==
Fukami was born in the sea. In the past, he led a delinquent lifestyle before becoming Wadanohara's familiar after being introduced to her by Memoca. He was the last to join the Sea Witch's group of familiars.

== Relationships ==
=== Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea Cast ===
==== Wadanohara ====
Wadanohara is Fukami's master and love interest. He was the last to join her after Memoca and Dolpi. Upon first impression, Fukami initially thought, "Is this kid really the Sea Witch? Why do I have to protect this little brat?" Now he thinks she is adorable. As they spent more and more time together, Fukami became enamored with her. He is deeply devoted to Wadanohara and does not hesitate to inflict violence on those who try to hurt or threaten her. Wadanohara sometimes appears troubled and confused by the things Fukami says to her but still treats and regards him as her friend and familiar.
Jealous of Wadanohara's love for Samekichi, Fukami tends to question her relationship with him - reminding her that he is a traitor and therefore cannot be trusted. When Wadanohara and her familiars were in the Witch World, Fukami purposely left Wadanohara’s ocarina behind, a present given to her by Samekichi. Whenever he is near, Fukami will insult and try to injure Samekichi, which frightens Wadanohara. When Samekichi left to avenge his brother Syakesan, Fukami noticed how heartbroken Wadanohara was about him leaving and accepted her love for him. He then comforted her as she cried on his shirt. 
Deep-Sea Prisoner has stated that Fukami's love for Wadanohara will stay unrequited forever, and his love for her has not changed at all. When he saw Wadanohara prioritize what she had to do over his feelings, it made him realize he had been caught up in his own selfish emotions. Watching over and supporting her happiness became the love he gave her. 
During the second bad ending of the game, Fukami becomes corrupted by the Sea of Death and kills Wadanohara alongside Dolpi and Memoca. During Normal End 1, Fukami was among one of the last survivors of the Blue Sea before eventually being decapitated by Wadanohara. It was stated the way he died was similar to the way it was portrayed in her nightmare. 
==== Dolpi ====
Dolpi is Fukami's friend and fellow familiar of Wadanohara.
==== Memoca ====
Memoca is Fukami's friend and fellow familiar of Wadanohara. Memoca recommended Fukami to Wadanohara to become a familiar. She said, "He is strong and will be a reliable escort! His personality is a little problematic, but we can probably work it out!" They have a good relationship with each other as Memoca is not hesitant to voice her opinions towards Fukami. In the manga, when Fukami wondered what he did wrong after cooking duck for Wadanohara, Memoca simply replied, "You suck."
==== Samekichi ====
Samekichi is Fukami's fellow familiar. Both of them share romantic feelings for Wadanohara, with a one-sided rivalry on Fukami's part.
Due to Fukami's jealousy and Samekichi's supposed betrayal of Wadanohara, Samekichi was often brutalized by Fukami whenever the octopus could get his tentacles on him. Though their relationship was rocky at first, due to the mutually romantic feelings they share for Wadanohara, Fukami later accepted Wadanohara's romantic affections were solely for Samekichi. He chose to support her romantic feelings for Samekichi rather than take advantage of her vulnerability.
==== Syakesan ====
Syakesan is Fukami's enemy throughout most of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. However, Syakesan likes Fukami "in many ways." In the Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea manga, Syakesan reminded Fukami of the envious and selfish feelings he held for Wadanohara; that it was painful, and unbearable to have his feelings for her grow more and more. Syakesan told Fukami that these feelings for her make him kindred to the rest of the Sea of Death residents.
In the normal and true endings, as well as the manga, Fukami eventually resists Syakesan's persuasion and chooses to remain loyal to Wadanohara, knowing it would not make her happy if he did follow Syakesan. However, in the "Betrayal" ending of the game, Fukami kills Memoca, Dolpi and then Wadanohara. Though disgusted by what he has done, Syakesan assured him it is nothing to be ashamed of, as it was what Fukami wanted. Fukami agrees, and Syakesan then welcomes him to the Sea of Death.
=== Other Characters ===
==== Minami ====
Minami and Fukami are acquaintances. Although they have not been shown interacting, it is inferred they are close as Fukami refers to him simply as "Minami." Fukami cares for Minami like a big brother. 
==== Idate ====
Idate and Fukami are acquaintances thanks to the Sea of Death's invasion. Although the two have not been seen interacting directly, Idate would win in a fight. However, he is unaccustomed to tentacle attacks, so the fight would be prolonged if Fukami's tentacles are not destroyed as quickly as possible.
