Notes:
Fuu lives in the Edo era of isolationist Japan and therefore doesn’t speak English.

Gritty.
Equipment:
- Tanto [BODY 04, EV 03, R#02]. She inherited this from her father. She isn’t terribly skilled at using it though.
- Bombs (x2) [BODY 04, Bomb: 05, R#04, Limitation: Grenade Drawback, Black powder fouling]. She used these in the very first episode to help Mugen and Jin make their get away.
