Character
Name: Hououji Fuu
Series: Magic Knight Rayearth
Timeline: Postcanon
Canon Resource Links: So apparently, MKR has its own wiki...
Personality: In any classic girl trio, there tend to be three types. There must be the strong, the beautiful and the intelligent. Magic Knight Rayearth is no different. Hikaru, the main character is strong and brave, Umi is beautiful and talented, and Fuu Hououji is unquestionably the brains of the operation.
You see, Fuu is a genius. Attending a school for the gifted, Fuu still does well in all her classes and absolutely loves to read. In fact, Fuu has quite a few geeky tendencies--a love of computer programming and video games, concern over her homework while trapped in a video game world, and a hobby of reading books. Outside of just scholarly pursuits, she does seem to be fairly well rounded. She's a member of the archery team, and is fairly good with both bow and arrow and sword. She's been show in extra art to be good at other sports as well, music and art, and even cooking. Fuu is the kind of person who excels at everything she really tries for.
Fuu has had all the opportunities a life has to offer--a high class, wealthy family who cares about her, and several talents--but unlike the stereotypical "rich bitch" such well off characters fall into, Fuu takes her status wit grace. In fact, everything she does is done with an air of grace. She uses honorifics with everyone, calling monsters Monster-san, and enemies by -san as well (even by the end of the second manga, Ferio is the only one she calls without an honorific), only to be respectful and polite--and the politeness extends to every action in her life. She feels that everyone deserves to be respected and treated well. Fuu Hououji is the kind of person who enjoys the happiness of others. Her introduction to the series is a clear example of this, as she, without prompting, gives Hikaru, who she had never met, the change to continue using a pair of binoculars, without asking anything in return, just saying she enjoyed seeing how happy the red head was.
Fuu's goodness is such a defining personality trait that her magic is based mostly in protection and healing as opposed to Hikaru and Umi's attack based magics. In Cephiro, everything is decided by heart and will, and it's only when you truly believe that you have any power. Fuu's first spell learned is simply one to heal her friend--she wants nothing more than to keep her friends safe, and the theme continues, learning spells for protection, and one to immobilize when her friends are in danger. Throughout the course of the manga, Fuu shows a great deal of compassion and mercy, choosing to give others a chance to change their course of action, even when only moments before they had tried to kill her.
But you cannot mistake that for stupidity. Fuu is not one to be trifled with. She can be harsh, clever or tricky at any time. She would protect her friends with her life, and will fight to the death over them, as she did threaten Caldina with death if she didn't back down. Ferio has blatantly called her clever more than once when she tricked him into becoming their body guard in order to for him to find the exit of the forest. While she is certainly trusting, she is very aware that others could plot against her, as she pointed out that, though Ferio was kind to them, he could be working for Zagato.
Fuu is determined and protective. She is willing to sacrifice her own safety for her friends, but still cherishes her own self. She says in the manga that she has no other way to honor the people who have raised and cared for her but to keep herself safe and healthy. She fights to keep herself in one piece for those who love her, and those she loves. But she also fights to keep her friends safe, even at the cost of her own life. She puts her whole heart into everything she does--which makes her a wonderful magic knight, considering that everything from her armor to her weapons to her ability to pilot the Rune God itself relies on the strength of her heart. It is her realization that she would die for her friends rather than harm them--and the realization of how strong that desire really is--that gives Fuu the ability to break out of an illusion that Umi and Hikaru couldn't fight. (I know that this seems like a paradox, but that just goes to show you how much she cares about Hikaru and Umi). She is very honorable, to the point where she will not ask for help if she feels that it is asking too much of someone, or will not take more if she has only asked for so much.
When things calm down, though, Fuu can be Captain Obvious, which is a particularly annoying trait of hers. She does find it necessary to tell you, for example, that you are under water. She's got a very dippy attitude and comes off as shy. She's easy to make blush and stammers when flirted with.
The almost carefree, sweet attitude is greatly lost after Fuu has experienced taking someone else's life. She is certainly still kind, but between the first and second manga, Fuu's smiles are visibly sadder, she cries more, and she drops weight. She's lost her love of video games, since she can no longer see the villain as truly bad, and grows quiet around her family. It is only when she can redeem herself that Fuu recovers to the bright personality she once was.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Fuu is a generic shoujo hero, and there is no question about that. And a generic healer. She is kind and compassionate, strong and determined. She is not afraid of hard work and she is patient enough to wait to see the fruits of her labor. She is very capable of loving others, treating Umi and Hikaru as sisters, and falling into the only canon relationship alongside Ferio. She's generous and does not feel entitled to anything despite her position in life. She is a well rounded person, excelling not only in academics, but several arts, sports and practical skills. She is very much the brains of the operation, making tactical and logical decisions. Fuu is a wonderful role model and does her best to get along with everyone.
At the same time, Fuu has a personality that can drive some people crazy. She states the obvious, is very naive and is just so damn hopeful. She might come off as pitying someone else, though she honestly wants to help. And she's lived a very sheltered life until going to Cephiro. She is kind to everyone and would give someone the shirt off her back if they truly needed it--which could be a good thing, but this in this instance it is far too much of a good thing. It's hard to get to know her--she's always hiding her negative emotions and putting on a smile for others. She's burdened with a few secrets she isn't willing to share. Also, in physical terms, she has very poor eyesight.

First Person Sample: I suppose I shouldn't be very surprised--it isn't the first time I've been displaced before, is it? Of course, then, I was at least aware of my preferred party. It is very unfortunate, I seem to only have come into possession of a very small animal.
Though he is very adorable and his chirping is very endearing, I'm not very sure he will make the best traveling companion. I'm afraid I don't understand anything he is saying.
And I've never seen an animal that spoke its own name before.
Though I do suppose there is a first time for everything.
[A beat, pondering.] Might anyone be able to tell me what, exactly, I am doing here? I find it hard to believe they really expect us to fight in a tournament to get home...
Third Person Sample: [reusing despite having a new starter]
Fuu's world had never been this pixelated colorful, before. And while it was accompanied by occasional eight-bit music, she had never heard any like this. She had never met the woman in the house where she had woken (her house? Could she call it that when she couldn't enter and she had never seen it before this morning, and had never seen it's owner in her life?), nor did she recognize any of her surroundings. This was most certainly not Tokyo. This was not Tokyo at all.
… Had she been transported to another world? Where was Hikaru-san? Where was Umi-san? How could she have been taken without them? They had always been together before... It was an unnerving thought that she could be alone in this strange new world, and it made an empty feeling in the pit of her stomach, and panic in her heart. She sat delicately by the house she had been promptly removed from, staring at the little orb she'd found in her pocket. She might as well look to see what she had her disposal, if she were to be here alone-knowing your inventory was always important in games-it could save your life! It was a surprising moment when it opened and she found a little bird staring at her curiously.
“What is...?” Fuu's eyes widened as it hopped toward her. She had never seen anything like it. She reached out her hand tentatively and glanced down at the small computer-“Dexter” it had said its name was-to see information on the little thing. Pidgey. It was called a Pidgey.
She smiled at it, gently stroking it's feathers with calming hands. Feeling the feathers between her fingers somehow warmed her heart, and she suddenly felt just a little less alone. Perhaps she had never seen this animal before in her life-and perhaps it was strange. But he was her friend. Just as Ascot's monsters had been his friends-Fuu was certain this little bird would stay close to her.
Her heartbeat calmed and she stood. “Pidgey-san? I believe it is time to discover why I am here.”
