OVA
Description
Fuu Hououji, a 14-year-old Japanese student born December 12 (height approximately 1.54–1.56 meters, blood type A), attended a private school for intellectually gifted children. She participated in the archery club and excelled in mathematics and computer programming, aspiring to become a systems engineer. Her hobbies included reading and playing RPG games, which influenced her tendency to compare adventures to role-playing game mechanics. She disliked art classes and "yucky" food, favoring sushi.
Fuu possessed short sandy blond or light brown hair, green eyes, and wore round glasses except when in full armor. Her typical attire was her school uniform: a green jacket, white collar, green skirt, white petticoat, and a small red bow with a headband. In Cephiro, she received white and gold armor adorned with emeralds, which later evolved into a green dress-like design with feathered skirt patterns, a gold belt featuring an emerald, and white shoulder armor arranged similarly to the skirt.
Exhibiting a calm, polite, and analytical personality, Fuu served as the primary strategist and voice of reason. Her intelligence leaned toward academic knowledge rather than street smarts, often leading her to state obvious facts bluntly. Despite her reserved demeanor, she displayed strong curiosity and moral convictions, hesitating to intrude on Presea's home but thoroughly examining it once inside. She occasionally experienced self-doubt but consistently resolved to overcome challenges through logic and teamwork. Fuu also possessed a subtle, morbid sense of humor, finding amusement in dire situations.
Her journey began during a school trip to Tokyo Tower, where she encountered Hikaru Shidou and Umi Ryuuzaki before being transported to Cephiro. Fuu remained composed and initiated introductions. Tasked with rescuing Princess Emeraude, she initially chose to "play along" with the mission. In the Forest of Silence, she met the swordsman Ferio, persuading him to become their bodyguard; this encounter marked the beginning of her romantic feelings for him. Key divergent events occurred between media: in the anime, she destroyed a monster-creating stone to save Ferio, while in the manga, she healed Umi's wounds after an ambush and received a ring from Ferio, causing her to blush intensely.
Fuu obtained her initial weapon, a bow and arrow, from Presea, aligning with her archery skills. Later, she wielded a massive sword forged from Escudo mineral, lightweight for her but impossibly heavy for others. She awakened her Rune God, Windam, a four-winged bird-like entity. In the anime, she faced a choice between saving Ferio or gaining Windam's power, ultimately prioritizing Ferio and proving her emotional resolve. After defeating Zagato and Princess Emeraude, Fuu returned to Earth burdened by guilt over Emeraude's death. Reuniting at Tokyo Tower a year later, the group was transported back to Cephiro amid its collapse due to the absent Pillar. Fuu aided in defending against invading nations, was captured by Fahren's Lady Aska, won freedom through an archery contest, and later formed a friendship with Aska after revealing the harsh truth of the Pillar system. She rejoined Hikaru and Umi to defeat Debonair, ensuring Cephiro's stability before returning to Earth.
In the manga sequel, Ferio explicitly acknowledged her role in his happiness, and the trio could revisit Cephiro at will. The OVA depicted an alternate timeline where Fuu was less polite and played piano in a music club. She opposed Ferio by piloting Windam against Cephiro's invasion of Earth.
As the Magic Knight of Wind, Fuu's abilities centered on air-based magic, primarily defensive and supportive spells: "Winds of Healing" for recovery, "Winds of Protection" for barriers, and "Winds of Admonishment" for immobilizing enemies. Her offensive spells included "Emerald Typhoon" and the anime-exclusive "Emerald Cyclone," which unleashed blade-like gusts. She uniquely possessed non-attack spells among the Knights.
Her most significant relationship was with Ferio, Princess Emeraude's brother. Their bond deepened in the second arc despite Fuu's guilt. Ferio's affection remained steadfast, culminating in manga scenes where he credited her for his happiness. Fuu maintained polite dynamics with allies and foes alike, referring to everyone with formal honorifics. She valued her friendships with Hikaru and Umi, often devising plans to ensure their safety during battles.
