OVA
Description
Funco is the Belgian personification of the FN FNC assault rifle. She has gray hair cut to ear length and striking red eyes. Reflecting her weapon's skeleton stock, she wears a thong, a source of recurring embarrassment and anger when mentioned. Her personality is energetic and good-natured, though she faces frequent teasing and is often perceived as somewhat unintelligent by peers, despite frequently delivering punchlines. She exhibits sensitivity towards humans displaying proficient weapon-handling skills. This extends to an ongoing one-sided affection for her homeroom teacher, Genkoku, leading to jealousy when others like the Italian rifle Betty approach him.
She maintains close friendships with Ichiroku (M16A4), Elle (L85A1), and Sig (SG 550). Ichiroku nicknames her "Fukko" due to a spelling error, which she tolerates, unlike the disliked "Funco" imposed by her older sister, Fal (L1A1 battle rifle). Funco deeply cares for Ichiroku and Elle equally, showing protective instincts in combat. Sig harbors romantic feelings for her, causing jealousy when others like Sako or Mimi (Chusuri) approach Funco; Funco herself experiences romantic confusion, blushing during interactions with Sig or when contemplating Ichihachi's attire. She idolizes her sister Fal but contends with familial dynamics. Another sister, Cal (FN CAL), appears during the Hakone conflict but is incapacitated by stomach issues mirroring the rifle's reliability problems. Funco experiences profound grief when Fal is critically damaged during a rescue mission against Red Steel High.
Her development occurs through combat engagements and interpersonal conflicts. During a mock battle tournament, transfer student Sako (RK 95 TP) develops a villainous crush after witnessing Funco's combat pragmatism, culminating in Sako taking Funco's first kiss before departing. Funco participates in the Battle of Atami and the larger Hakone conflict alongside allies like Famas and Type 64 against Red Steel High. Her combat style involves unconventional tactics like ricocheting bullets off water or shooting through obstacles, reflecting her rifle's capabilities. She exhibits fierce loyalty, risking herself to protect friends and reacting with rage when comrades like Elle are injured.
She occasionally serves as an expositor on weapon mechanics for Genkoku and the audience. Her birthday is April 6th, and she writes in Dutch, reflecting her Belgian origins. She admires Fujiko-sensei's beauty and compliments Aug's appearance.
