Background

Shikigami no Shiro

A half-German half-Japanese witch. The rise of the Nazi Empire forced her family's movement to Japan, where she's resided ever since. Fumiko is also quite wealthy, and is usually accompanied by her butler, Munchausen. Munchausen's aerial bombings are the form of her special attack. He usually has a different costume with each appearance.

Shikigami no Shiro II

The witch with the golden gun returns, and she still intends to marry Kohtaro. A German who migrated to Japan, she follows Kuga's trail to put a stop to the events before they can harm her would-be husband. Her Shikigami attack consists of orbital bombardments summoned by Munchausen, her butler. He can either bring down one massive blast, or a smaller assortment of five connected blasts.

Shikigami no Shiro III - Japanese

御存知華麗なるあらゆる意味の魔女である。シリーズ最大の悪役よりも悪役という噂のある人物である。趣味は他人の男を奪うこと。次に蹂躙である。今回は里帰りと蜜月旅行をかねて、アルカランドへやってくる。ふみこにとってアルカランドは何回目かの少女時代を過ごした思い出の土地である。なつかしそうに辺りを見て、ちょっとメランコリックである。

Castle of Shikigami III - English

A gorgeous witch, in many different ways.

She is said to be more of a villain than the greatest enemy in the series. Her hobby is to steal the men from other women. Her second hobby is trampling upon people.

She has arrived in Alcaland to return to her homeland - and go on a honeymoon.

For Fumiko, Alcaland is a memorable place she visited a number of times when she was a young girl. She looks around her surroundings with fond memories and can't help but feel melancholic.
