Legendary Magic Knight Resume

BECAUSE CLEARLY I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IMPORTANT TO DO like I don't know studying maybe here is a long-winded handy write-up of Fuu's abilities.

...also I'm taking a few liberties with translations because none of the official translations are consistent. If someone's name has not changed spelling from one page to the next it's a good day.


Fuu and Magic

Fuu's magic is based entirely in wind/air and has a green color to it as well as a tendency to sparkle. It is a blend of offensive and defensive-type spells and its power depends on the strength of her feeling.

Healing Wind - Heals flesh wounds. It's very good for getting an injured warrior back into the fight quickly. It has no effect on sickness or mental afflictions.
Guardian Wind - A protective, bubble-like shield that deflects physical and magical attacks.
Binding Wind - Causes individual breezes to surround the target's body, pinning their limbs and binding them in midair.
Emerald Typhoon - A very powerful attack spell. Strong blades of wind buffet the target.

It is also possible for Fuu to develop new spells. Usually, this happens when she really, really needs to.

Fuu's Sword

Fuu's sword is made of a Cephiran metal called Escudo, which can evolve to match the skill and strength of the wielder. Each sword of this element changes in its own way. In Fuu's case, her sword gets longer and longer and longer--right now it is about a foot and a half longer than she is tall. If someone other than Fuu tries to pick it up, it will immediately become so heavy that it will hit the ground like a boulder and leave a sizable dent there.

Rune God Windam

...So the latest official translation is "mashin." RUNE GOD SOUNDS COOLER, OKAY.

Windam is one of three ancient spirits who have existed since about the beginning of Cephiro itself. When the Magic Knights are summoned, Windam allies with one and lends them the strength they need to complete their deadly mission. When the Magic Knights were summoned by Emeraude, they were each tested by the Rune God they were chosen by and asked to prove their strength of heart, before they would allow the Knight to don them.

In his shrine, Windam took the form of an enormous green bird with four wings. As a partner to Fuu, he resembles a giant mech in form and function. The jewel in his chest is a cockpit of sorts. He matches Fuu's movements and spells, and wields the same sword that she does only scaled waaaaaaaaaay up. Inside, Fuu basically sees with Windam's eyes and does not need her glasses.

As the name might imply, Windam is affiliated with the element of air. Most of the time, he resides in Fuu's armor and will only speak or emerge at need. Although Windam is a sentient being, he is not a counselor or an agony aunt and will remain quiescent until called upon, unless Fuu is in such immediate danger that he needs to take her in RIGHT. NOW. If other two Rune Gods, Celes and Rayearth, are present, it's possible for them to merge into one super-awesome-megazord Rune God.

Fuu and Normal Things

1. Fuu can speak a bit of classroom English and French and will use it as appropriate. If she's speaking to an English-speaker, she'll use Mr./Miss rather than -san. Her default is -san.

2. ...for EVERYONE. Fuu is polite almost to levels of unreason and will even be formal when talking about a giant fanged creature trying to eat her for lunch.

3. She studies computer programming! While by no means a hacking whiz, Fuu does have a good head for it and can probably program a simple text-based game for you. Also, she can figure out why your 90's-era computer has turned blue and is displaying messages from the Computer Underworld at you (hint: stop downloading custom mouse buttons).

4. Fuu is also highly skilled with the bow and arrow. She was in the archery club at school and has excellent aim.
