Fumiko

**Fumiko** is a playable character from the *Senran Kagura* videogame series. She makes her debut in *Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls*.

She is relaxed, ditzy, and hard to have a casual conversation with. However if she stays in her Shinobi form for too long, her personality drastically changes. Asuka calls her "Fumi" as a nickname. She is very laid back and it is impossible to tell what she is thinking at any given time. Her hobbies include making stuffed dolls and taking naps. She does her job as a Shinobi only when she feels like it, which is never. She rarely gets angry, but when she does, it usually causes trouble. If she stays in her Shinobi form for too long, however, she becomes a complete sadist and enjoys harming her foes. Whoever comes across Fumiko will suffer from trauma for a while.

Being the same age as Aiko, the two of them have formed something of a sisterly bond, making Aiko one of the few people with whom she’ll willingly open up to.

## Personality

Fumiko is very calm, to the point of always seeming tired. This is most noticeable by the fact that she speaks rather slowly. She is kind and somewhat of a ditz but with minor sadistic tendencies. She tends to leave her duties as a Shinobi ignored and spends most of her time either sleeping or making dolls. Fumiko makes friends very easily due to her relaxed and caring nature, and often gives nicknames to others.

However, if she stays in her Shinobi form for too long, her personality changes. Simply put, she turns into a sadistic dominatrix which earned her the name “Sadie” from Asuka. Anyone that sees her in this form is aware of the trauma she can cause to both allies and enemies, and tries to make her as happy as possible so she does not transform. While she still cares for her allies, her sadistic nature reflects this in a completely different manner.

Still, behind her normal calm demeanor she is unnaturally apathetic and lazy, liking nothing but music. It is noted that she is always listening to music, even when taking a bath. Fumiko loves classical music, ranging from piano to violin. She has a lack of motivation and is lazy enough to do almost nothing. She's somewhat bored with life due to all of the events of her traumatic childhood.

Fumiko has Pyrophobia (fear of fire) due to what happened with Kaoru. Fumiko's total apathy towards life is because of her being pushed through her childhood by her mother, Asaki to become the heir. Deprived of childhood even though she was quite lively before, Fumiko begins to lack interest in life and because of the fire incident with her only friend Kaoru, Fumiko completely shuts off for the world.

## History

Fumiko comes from a long standing noble ninja family that has spanned generations. Despite her sister having far more skill and promise as shinobi, Fumiko was the one chosen to be the heir to the family. Fumiko herself felt suffocated by the attention and restrictions and responsibilities placed upon her, which led her to run away from home.

She then met Kaoru, a human girl from a remote village. Kaoru got along well with Fumiko and they became best friends. Because Fumiko made a habit of running off to play with Kaoru, Eiko destroyed Kaoru's village in a fire in a misguided attempt to impress and help her mother, and to take away Fumiko's happiness out of jealousy. Wanting to save her parents despite Fumiko's protest, Kaoru went into the fire and "died".

Because of Kaoru's "death", Fumiko blamed herself and developed severe trauma from the incident. With Eiko's own mocking jabs that Fumiko was useless and couldn't do anything for herself, but mostly because of the pressure over her from Asaki, Fumiko withdrew into herself and lost interest in doing anything except when provoked by Eiko.

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### **Eiko**

Eiko is Fumiko's older, biological sister. Because of multiple misunderstandings and unfortunate circumstances of the past and their mother Asaki, who suffocated Fumiko with her ambitions while ignoring her more ambitious child Eiko even if she was born first, the two sisters had a sour, hostile relationship. While Eiko will insult everything Fumiko does if in vicinity, Fumiko will leave the room to avoid dealing with her.

#### **Asaki**

Fumiko hated the strict training and restriction her mother placed upon her and rebelled against her by running away from home. However, she did care for her mother because she was mostly using the manipulation of guilt tripping her in order to make her daughter act the way she wants.

### **Friends**

#### **Kuro**

Kuro, formerly known as Kaoru, was Fumiko's only human friend. Fumiko met her when they were children. Fumiko often ran away from home to play with her. Kaoru taught Fumiko to hunt, raise apples and how to spend a night when there is no fire however, Fumiko never revealed she was a Shinobi to Kaoru afraid it would drive her away. When Eiko noticed this, she destroyed Kaoru's village by setting it on fire. Kaoru went in to find her parents, but didn't come out of the village, and Fumiko assumed that she died and it was her own fault.

When Fumiko meets Kuro years later, Fumiko instantly recognizes her but decides not to tell Kuro. Later because of her complicated relationships with her sister and her own feelings of guilt, she tells Kuro that she burned down the village and not Eiko.
