Hey, Blue\_Star here editing the page, Umi is no longer canon in Freedom Fanlore.

(This page is currently a Work in Progress! Please be patient!)

Umi is a fan character that appears between Freedom Planet 1 and 2. She chooses not to relate to Lilac and Friends, with the exception of Carol, more on that later.

## Appearance

Umi is a tall blue fox who wears a very dark green crop shirt, a very dark green skirt, red shorts, green boots, a pair of luminous blue goggles and a yellow necklace in the shape of an eyeball around her neck. She stands at 5ft 8in and has yellow eyes (after retrieving the necklace, in which case her eyes were brown before). She has vibrant royal blue hair, and fluffy cheeks, two wristbands and bandages all over her upper arms. Beneath her bandages are cuts on her arms, which have been slowly healing. She also has a bushy tail and pointy smiling teeth, and a pair of black horizontal stripes on each of her cheeks.

## Personality

Umi is normally a very jokey but confident character. Around Candy, her closest friend, she's very serious and caring, and around Pablo, she's very humorous, occasionally throwing Pablo out of a closed window as a skit. Around Lilac, Milla and Carol, she's quiet and very easily aggravated if confronted by the three, as she doesn't like how much of heroes they are, compared to how she used to be, and how they once worked for Mayor Zao. With other fan characters, such as Shyama from the Medusalac AU adapted for the U&C timeline, she gets along with them generally alright. She hasn't been seen interacting with other characters just yet, at least not from the Canon list of characters, and this segment will be updated when she does.

## History

Umi used to be an actress in one of Mayor Zao's superhero movies, Freedom Fox, featuring Umi as the star. Unfortunately, due to uninterest and general disappointment in the franchise, and abusive leadership, this drove Umi into a rage, stealing the yellow necklace from Zao's possession. After stealing the necklace, Zao attacked her, causing her arms to take damage, as she escaped with the necklace. Despite it being stolen from Zao, it holds many benefits, such as granting Umi better vision, and general motivation. Unfortunately, she was homeless, until her biggest fan Candy, decided to take her into her care, bringing her to an old abandoned government bunker, providing accommodation for Umi there, where she now happily stays. Although the original source of where the necklace comes from is still unknown. The necklace contains the spirit of her mother Norine, as she allowed her spirit to possess the necklace, following Umi where she goes. Norine can also control Umi if she finds her to be in great danger.

## Relationships

### Candimore 'Candy' Cottonwood

Candy is Umi's biggest fan and possible love interest. Her full name is Candimore Cottonwood, and the two go together like PB&J sandwiches. Candy calms Umi down in dire situations, and basically takes care of her when it's necessary. Candy, despite being a fan of Umi's movie scene genuinely cares about Umi, as she bumps into Umi on the rainy streets of Shang Mu, as Umi was crying to herself. Candy feeds Umi candy and whatever food she's allowed to bring to Umi, without her parents finding out she's taking care of a wanted criminal. She cares about Umi a lot, but sometimes finds it hard to take care of her, only visiting her once a week. But once the two start dating, they eventually meet daily.

## Trivia

There are many references in Umi's designs and other content.

* Umi's original name was going to be Zumii, but due to such an unappealing name, it was scrapped. Many people meme'd this name by calling her Umizoomi, after the children's TV show by the same name.
* Umi's surname, Hazuna, is actually a combination of the words 'Hiwatashi' and 'Nazuna', a reference to the pink fox girl by the same name, from the anime "BNA: Brand New Animal".
* Umi has PTSD from her encounter with Zao and triggering topics during the filming production, and her necklace takes over her body, causing her to rage uncontrollably (the only person being able to stop it being Candy). This is a reference to Flippy/Fliqpy from Happy Tree Friends, as when Flippy sees something from war, he also gets enraged. Unlike Flippy, Umi doesn't physically harm people to the point of extreme gore.
* Umi's Lore only exists because Blue Star was obsessed with the South Park game, the Fractured But Whole. Originally, Umi had no lore, but a superhero/hate the government/super cool buff furry girl lore was something Blue couldn't pass up on.
* Umi's entire color scheme was actually reused from Blue Star's self insert character, minus the tan skin tone (Not present in the Freedom Fanlore).
* Umi's casual clothing was inspired by Leela from "Futurama", as Umi's canonical voice is the same as hers, and the necklace also has a singular eye.
* The necklace has also been compared to the Dark Curse Necklace from "Miitopia", both yellow, both representing a single eye and both glowing and allowing a spirit to possess them.
* Despite Umi's mother possessing the necklace, she is unable to actually to communicate with her, but Norine can talk to everyone else once Umi is unconscious or asleep.
* Umi doesn't actually dislike Zao, she's just under the influence of her mother's thoughts. She doesn't want to hurt him, but she can't control her body when she sets eyes with him.
* Umi is bilingual. She can speak both English and Chinese.
* Umi appears in the Medusalac AU by HyperTails12, although she is a lot more different from her core self. She's a lot more selfish in the Medusalac AU. This isn't the first AU rendition of Umi. There is a human Umi named Oregon, a "Happy Tree Friends" rendition to accompany Legacy Candy (See Candy's page), and a fanmade Sam Ramai rendition of her, taking a whole new redesign, by JJ MH. A swapped rendition of her, called Alternate Umi, is also an AU variant.
* Umi knows of many other fan characters in the Freedom Planet Fan Universe.
* Umi appears as an NPC in Shang Mu Architect, a Freedom Planet fangame developed by WhiteLillyDragon. Her description reads: "Watch out, it's Umina Hazuna! (She prefers Umi). Umi is a troubled but humorous fox girl who lives for a good joke. She takes on life moment to moment, and won't let anything slow down her shenanigans!" While this is her current character description, her original is a lot more different, by Blue\_Star: "Freedom Fox they called her. Umina Hazuna, Umi for short, is a troubled but determined fox who likes nothing more thank cracking a good joke and looking away from the past." Her original description was more accurate to her lore, while her current one used in Shang Mu Architect is more suited for the game.
* Umi is used by Blue\_Star in several applications and games, acting as a mascot for the U&C series, and a way to promote her shamelessly. She is used for all of Blue's social media pages, minus YouTube, Facebook and Steam, and is their Mii character for their 3DS, Wii U and Switch.
