History Characters / KaguyaSamaLoveIsWarChikaFujiwara

* SurprisinglyNormalBackstory: Unlike the others, Fujiwara has a loving family and while a bit of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, she's otherwise well-adjourned.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The optimist, as expected by a bubbly GenkiGirl. Although it's more of an attitude towards the world, rather than being particularly morally upstanding since she's pretty selfish at times.

* RoseHairedSweetie: While the officially colored manga portrays her with silver hair, several of the covers (as well as the anime and live action adaptations) give her pink hair to reflect her bright and cheery personality.

** Chika is this to Hayasaka as well, due to the times where Chika has made her to fail some of her missions because of Chika being unpredictable.

* ChubbyChaser: [[spoiler:In her final chapter she announces that her goal is to get married to a sumo wrestler.]]

[[Characters/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWarSecondYears Second-Years]]-]]]]]

* BeneathTheMask: Actually, a notable aversion, because unlike any of the other council members or important side characters like Hayasaka, she doesn't have a DarkAndTroubledPast nor a facade that she hides behind. The author intentionally made her a somewhat static character, who does not have thought bubbles because there is nothing to hide. She's a cheerful and innocent teenager and that is all. [[spoiler:Played straight when she was still an active pianist. Back then, she wore the mask of an honor student, trying to fulfill the expectations others set for her. Behind it was a girl who was being burdened by the pressure of trying to meet other people's expectations. It got to the point where she was very close to crossing her DespairEventHorizon if it hadn't been for Kaguya's rude, but well-timed advice to just quit playing if she doesn't enjoy it anymore.]]

* TheCutie: Fujiwara is a cheerful, cute girl who wears a large bow on her hair. Every time she speaks, there are flower effects around her speech bubbles.

* {{Foil}}: According to Akasaka, she was created to foil Shirogane and Kaguya's genius, but also their dark and troubled backgrounds, with her cheerful silliness.

* RoseHairedSweetie: While initially portrayed with silver hair with a slight hint of pink, starting in Volume 8 the pink of her hair became more pronounced, fitting her cheerful nature.

* AntiHero: Easily the most selfish Student Council member. She loves her friends and ultimately means well, but her egotistical tendencies and unpredictability often cause trouble to others, and furthermore she is constantly mad at Ishigami for having no issue remarking her negative traits, instead of learning from said remarks.

** For a similar but simpler example, in Chapter 178 Ishigami makes sure of scheduling his date with [[spoiler:Tsubame-senpai]] during the sophomores' school trip to Kyoto just so Fujiwara won't be able to play DatePeepers on him.

* BeneathTheMask: Actually, a notable aversion, because unlike any of the other council members or important side characters like Hayasaka, she doesn't have a DarkAndTroubledPast nor a facade that she hides behind. The author intentionally made her a somewhat static character, who does not have thought bubbles because there is nothing to hide. She's a cheerful and innocent teenager and that is all. [[spoiler:Played straight when she was still an active pianist. Back then, she wore the mask of an honor student, trying to fulfill the expectations others set for her. Behind it was a girl that was being burdened by the pressure of trying to meet other people's expectations. It got to the point where she was very close to crossing her DespairEventHorizon if it hadn't been for Kaguya's rude, but well-timed advice to just quit playing if she doesn't enjoy it anymore.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Given that she's normally presented as a clueless goofball, it can very easy to forget that she's the scion of one of the most powerful political families in the history of Japan, so her doing things like [[spoiler:gathering a veritable treasure trove of info on the Shinomiya family behind everyone's backs]] tends to catch the rest of the cast and the audience off guard.

* CheatersNeverProsper: If there is a competition between the student council, she'll usually cheat to win only for someone to find out. Then Ishigami scolds her for cheating. Chapter 117 has Ishigami even recording her because he knows she'll cheat. The virtue out of this is that Fujiwara largely cheats for inconsequential stakes and nothing particularly serious.

** Also at the beginning of Chapter 164 when she complains about being mistreated by fellow student council members, even though this one is a part of her TheGadfly habit.

** While Fujiwara has made many a mean-spirited joke before, she always tries her best to ensure that they remain (relatively) tasteful. As such, when she makes a comment on Ishigami's love life and gets Iino to sob her heart out mid-sentence, Fujiwara immediately stops and apologizes.

* TheGadfly: She has a tendency of messing with her friends for fun. Chapter 27 has her attempting to get Shirogane to unknowingly say innuendos to get Kaguya to laugh. Fortunately for Kaguya, Shirogane doesn't take the bait, though his reaction ends up humiliating her all the same.

* HesitationEqualsDishonesty: In Chapter 275, she pauses a long-time before making the [[BlatantLies bald-faced lie]] that [[spoiler:she chose to be campaign speaker for Iino's opponent in order to test her.]]

** Her mother used to be a diplomat, so Fujiwara is able to speak several different languages since childhood. Unfortunately, it came at the cost of her fluency in her native language. This is lampshaded by how her dog, Pes, has a Czech name.

** She fully intends on following in her grandfather, father, and uncle's footsteps in becoming a politician after high school. Rather, she wants to be ''prime minister''.

** She argues with Kaguya and Osaragi that they should consider Iino's feelings for Ishigami and that Ishigami at the end of the day is just a HormoneAddledTeenager who will date any cute girl. All this despite the fact that she is well aware of no other girls except Iino's circle of friends would ever approach Ishigami due to his status as a pariah. The icing on the cake is that she proclaims that she likes seeing Ishigami and Iino arguing, a huge 180 turn of her initial claim in ensuring Iino's happiness.
** Chapter 200 is pretty much an entire chapter of this, with Fujiwara complaining that people need to be more considerate to her on her birthday...while inconsiderately whining about having to share it with Ishigami and grousing about the quality of the presents Shirogane and Iino gave her. The real kicker comes at the end, when Ishigami gives her a very considerate present (a foreign board game), while her present to him is [[ConvenienceStoreGiftShopping a piggy bank]].
** In chapter 214, Fujiwara planned on living far away from her sisters once she entered college as she acknowledged them for being freaks and that she'll become one as well. Kaguya nonchalantly pointed out that Fujiwara is already not very different from her aforementioned sisters.

* InformedAttractiveness: Fujiwara is beautiful enough for Kaguya to consider her a serious barrier between herself and Shirogane. However, due to Shirogane having a SingleTargetSexuality for Kaguya, this is never really an issue. It's later implied that she does get asked out regularly but dismisses the boys that approach her with pseudo-intellectual diatribes.
* InformedAttribute: She is supposedly really popular outside of the student council, but the only other characters she's ever really shown to interact with are her fellow Tabletop Games Club members and the Mass Media Club duo (the latter of whom view her as TheDreaded). Her friendship with Kaguya is also reported to be deep and long-lasting (going since middle school), but they rarely hang out in series, with Kaguya turning to Kashiwagi for emotional support and advice instead. The final volume's profile for Fujiwara finally clarifies what "heroine" meant--that she actually serves as TheHeart of the Student Council and provided support and interaction for everyone there, allowing her to be "everyone's heroine".

** In Chapter 51, she is also upset that she shares her birthday with Ishigami because she doesn't want to share her special day with anyone else. This proves is proven in Chapter 200 when she goes ballistic by calling on the student council for not giving her party a separate day while whining that Shirogane's (and Iino)'s gifts to her are bland, despite her gift to Ishigami being [[{{Hypocrite}} incredibly generic]].

** She was the only one in the student council that didn't know that [[spoiler:Ishigami was going on a date with Tsubame]] while the second years were off on their class trip, not finding out until after the fact.

* MyNewGiftIsLame: She spends most of her birthday party complaining about her gifts, either because their identical to (Shirogane) or of lesser quality (Iino) than the ones [[BirthdayBuddies Ishigami]] got. It's only after seeing the presents that Kaguya and Ishigami got her that she completely changes her tune and cheerfully cries about how much she loves everything she got. This ends up turning straight into HypocriticalHumor when everyone sees what she got for Ishigami, since he took the time to carefully pick out a board game she'd like while she just got him a piggy bank.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: [[spoiler:When she learns that Moeha has a crush on Shirogane, she goes out of her way to dissuade Moeha from falling for him thanks to her traumatizing experiences of training him. She even pushes him out of the room far, far away from Moeha just before the chapter ends.]]

* SelectiveObliviousness: As seen in Chapter 214, Fujiwara is well aware that her sisters are weirdos in their own way and that staying with them for too long would turn her into one. When Kaguya pointed out that Fujiwara isn't really different from her sisters, she is quick to exclude herself from the matter.

** [[spoiler:She tries to dissuade Moeha from having a crush on Shirogane due to all her time training him having given her PTSD.]]

* SweetOnPollyOliver: Fujiwara finds Hayasaka's male butler disguise very attractive, gaining a bit of a crush on her while the latter waited on her.

* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Chapter 222 reveals that [[spoiler:she used to wear a mask of an honor student and was extremely close to crossing the DespairEventHorizon back in middle school due to the expectations and pressure that came with being hailed as a piano prodigy. Kaguya's rude, but ultimately well-timed advice for her to quit if she doesn't like it anymore caused her to be liberated, and she hasn't let it bother her since then.]]

* WastedBeauty: Ishigami sees her as this, given that he thinks he even could have fallen for her if it wasn't for her ditzy behavior and selfish streak.

** Her mother used to be a diplomat, so Fujiwara is able to speak several different languages since childhood. Unfortunately, it came at the cost of her fluency in her native language.

* SenpaiKohai: She becomes Iino's sempai when the latter joins the student council, a relationship that she gleefully takes advantage of. Ishigami even compares it to an abusive romance.
* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:Like Shirogane, Fujiwara was hailed as a prodigy and pressured to excel at her particular area of expertise, in her case the piano. Both of them were miserable with their circumstances but pushed on to please others, but were convinced by Kaguya to cut themselves some slack. However, while Shirogane simply lightened his workload to only what was necessary and respects Kaguya as her own person, Fujiwara quit entirely, becoming lazy out of the desire to make up for the time she lost, and becomes possessive of Kaguya, wanting to be the most important person in her life no matter what. Their contrasting attitudes are reflected in their respective SenpaiKohai relationships with Iino; Shirogane supports her feelings for Ishigami genuinely and shows her nothing but respect, while Fujiwara supports her crush [[ShipperWithAnAgenda because she likes seeing them argue]], and exploits her naïve sense of morality to push her around. In essence, Fujiwara is who Shirogane would be if he succumbed to hedonism to escape his insecurities.]]

* BoyfriendBlockingDAD: Her father bans her from reading shoujo manga because it has romance in it, and has also forbidden her from getting a boyfriend.

* OverprotectiveDad: Her father bans her from reading shoujo manga because it has romance in it, and has also forbidden her from getting a boyfriend.

* InTheBlood: PlayedForLaughs. She's a member of [[UsefulNotes/{{Fujiwara}} family, one of the most prominent families in the history of Japanese politics]], and this often expresses itself with her [[SleazyPolitician less noble attributes]].

* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a well-endowed chest, which is part of why she's considered a DudeMagnet at school. Ironically, the character who seems to fixate on her chest the most is Kaguya, due to her ACupAngst which is the source of a lot of BoobBasedGags, such as Kaguya insulting Fujiwara's chest whenever she curses at her under her breath or thinking she must have a "big-chested gene" in her family tree. This is somewhat proven by Fujiwara's sisters sharing her large bust size (including, to Kaguya's jealousy, her ''middle-school''-attending younger sister), but gets kicked into hilarity when their mother is revealed to be flat as a board, leaving Kaguya to unsettling realize that the genes for their large chest sizes may have come from ''their father''.

** Her mother used to be a diplomat, so Fujiwara is able to speak several different languages since childhood.

** Over the course of the manga, she manages to impress the entire ramen community of Tokyo, even managing to outperform the Four Ramen Emperors, for whom eating ramen is SeriousBusiness. Thing is, Fujiwara has no idea that such a community even ''exists'', and is repeatedly baffled whenever one of them congratulates her on her "accomplishments".

* AdaptationalIntelligence: When Ishigami first hints that he has a crush on Tsubame in the manga, she seems completely clueless to what he's saying. The anime on the other hand has her pick up on it instantly.

* AllWorkVsAllPlay: Single person example. [[spoiler:She used to be an honor student who never had any time to play due to spending every waking moment practicing the piano. After Kaguya convinced her to quit, she decided to make up for lost time and became TheHedonist.]]
* ArchEnemy: Played for laughs. She is one for Ishigami because he is very quick at finding her underhanded tactics and thus making her look bad. Ishigami in turn finds her tremendously untrustworthy and doesn't let her indulge in her own narratives; still, [[VitriolicBestFriends this doesn't mean that they dislike each other]].

** The Banned Word Game in Chapter 18/Episode 4 is an excellent example of the former. The game consists in Shirogane, Kaguya, and Fujiwara each having a forbidden word that only the other two know and one loses when they are tricked into saying it. Fujiwara takes advantage of one of Kaguya's biggest gripes with her -- namely Fujiwara's inability to read a room -- and presents it as something Fujiwara is supposedly insecure about in order to coax Kaguya's HiddenHeartOfGold to reassure her and say she ''likes'' her despite her flaws, which turns out to be Kaguya's banned word. Fujiwara then blatantly indulges in UnsportsmanlikeGloating, something that of course pisses Shirogane off and prompts him to announce he will play ''serious''ly from now on, which instead causes him to immediately lose because "serious" is ''his'' banned word. This is a notable example because, out of all the ''many'' psychological schemes in the series, this is one of the very few that goes off without a hitch from start to finish.

** Chapter 180 has Ishigami telling Iino about a masterful, large scale BatmanGambit that Fujiwara pulled off on their entire grade... that ultimately screwed over Fujiwara herself. Unlike most schools, the funds for the second years' school trip are managed by the student council and they're usually a huge strain on the yearly budget, but proposing a cheaper local destination is bound to be meet with backslash from the student body. Fujiwara [[TakeAThirdOption proposed the alternative]] of putting the trip's destination to a vote, knowing that people wanting to travel overseas would be too divided in their preferences for any of them to get a decisive majority, and that out of the three local options -- namely Hokkaido, Kyoto, and Okinawa -- the cheapest one was likely to win because Hokkaido is too cold in January and this year's sophomores already visited Okinawa in middle school. What Fujiwara didn't consider in her exercise of giving people a false sense of free will through democracy to silence protests before they can even be voiced is that she ''didn't'' want to go to plain old Kyoto herself, but she was in a power trip at the time and when she came down from it, the damage was already done. Ishigami both praises and mocks her at the same time by saying Fujiwara ''is'' nearly as talented a politician as she thinks she is, but she's ''also'' an idiot at heart.
* BeneathTheMask: Actually, a notable aversion, because unlike any of the other council members or important side characters like Hayasaka, she doesn't have a DarkAndTroubledPast nor a facade that she hides behind. The author intentionally made her a somewhat static character, who does not have thought bubbles because there is nothing to hide. She's a cheerful and innocent teenager and that is all. [[spoiler:Played straight when she was still an active pianist. Back then, she wore the mask of an honor student, trying to fulfill the expectations others set on her. Behind it was a girl that was being burdened by the pressure of trying to meet other people's expectations. It got to the point where she was very close to crossing her DespairEventHorizon if it hadn't been for Kaguya's rude, but well-timed advice to just quit playing if she doesn't enjoy it anymore.]]

* BigEater: Not as much as Iino, but she likes to pretend she's on a diet, and then stuffs herself with ramen, sweets or bubble tea. On that note, [[BerserkButton don't call her fat]].

* BreakThemByTalking: She'll stoop down to appeal to their friends' sympathy in order to win something as petty as a game. When she does it to Kaguya, Shirogane is aghast at how merciless she is by doing that to someone she considers a close friend.

* BrutalHonesty: She tends to say what's on her mind, even if it can be rather mean, though due to her oblivious nature it usually comes across as InnocentlyInsensitive.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a well-endowed chest, which is part of why she's considered a DudeMagnet at school. Ironically the character who seems to fixate on her chest the most is Kaguya, due to her ACupAngst which is the source of a lot of BoobBasedGags, such as Kaguya insulting Fujiwara's chest whenever she curses at her under her breath or thinking she must have a "big-chested gene" in her family tree.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the earlier chapters, Fujiwara was portrayed as the ditzy and impulsive secretary that contrasted with the more calculative and outwardly intelligent Kaguya and Shirogane. As the chapters went on however, she began showing a more fickle and manipulative side, leaning more and more towards the "jerk" part of JerkWithAHeartOfGold. By the time [[spoiler:Kaguya and Shirogane get together]], Fujiwara's characterization has shifted more towards being a LovableAlphaBitch who still cares about the council but thinks she's better than all of them sans Kaguya, and would [[spoiler:trick Shirogane into moving to a different district than he initially wanted to just so her social status is still higher than his.]]

** [[spoiler:In Chapter 223, Fujiwara briefly disapproves of Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship, wanting her best friend all to herself and reject the notion of the latter having a boyfriend or dating someone else that isn't her. She eventually realizes her selfishness and later gives her full approval]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: One of the aspects that adds to her unpredictability. Sometimes she comes with completely off-the-wall non-sequiturs, like sending Kaguya pictures she took of herself while having a sky burial with chickens, or trying to bribe Shirogane for club fund allocation with a soda.

* CoolBigSis: For Kei, with the two sharing special friendship poses. Though Kei doesn't harbor nearly as much admiration towards her as she does for Kaguya.

* DomesticAbuse: Her treatment of Iino bears a lot of resemblance to that of an emotionally abusive lover, complete with {{Gaslighting}}.

* DumbassHasAPoint: While the way she ''says'' things can come off a rude or stupid at first glance, she's surprisingly astute where it counts. For example, during the shipping roundtable with Kaguya and Osaragi, she proclaims that Ishigami is just a normal hormonal teenager and would fall for anybody that was especially nice to him and has a pretty face; [[spoiler:he starts properly acknowledging his feelings for Iino when she starts being openly nicer to him, and he later admits that he was acting shallow and would have wanted anyone who would take him as he is now.]]

* ElegantClassicalMusician: She's a skilled pianist, to the point that a guidance counselor asked if she was considering attending a conservatory when she graduates. She prefers to view it as a hobby though. [[spoiler:In middle school, Fujiwara ''was'' fixated on her piano talents and tried to be a model student, but eventually chose to quit and enjoy life more.]]

* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Inverted. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], she spent so much time speaking foreign languages as a child that her fluency in Japanese actually degraded from disuse. The offical fanbook even lists Japanese Language as her worst subject.

** When really mad, her eyes go blank as seen in Chapter 76 and 84.
** Also in the beginning of Chapter 164 when she complains about being mistreated by fellow student council members, even though this one is a part of her TheGadfly habit.

* FearOfThunder: Not only is she afraid of the sound of thunder, but she also believes the legend that the thunder god will steal your bellybutton if you don't cover it. And she can't cover both of her ears and her bellybutton at the same time...

** One chapter has Kaguya and her reprimanding Shirogane for trying to eat instant ramen in the student council office. She quickly joins his side when he gives her one of the instant ramen.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The optimist, as expected by a bubbly GenkiGirl. Although it's more of an attitude towards the world, rather than being particularly morally upstanding, since she's pretty selfish at times.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed in that none of the student council particularly dislike her, but Fujiwara tends to rub them the wrong way with her antics. Kaguya considers Fujiwara her first true friend, but is ready to break it off at the mere possibility of Fujiwara stealing Shirogane from her. Over time, Shirogane and Ishigami start losing patience in regards to her manipulative personality. All three are shocked when Iino claims to look up to Fujiwara as a model student. Even then, Iino's borderline hero-worship cools off considerably the more time they spend together.

* TheGadfly: She has a tendency of messing with her friends for fun. Chapter 27 has her attempting to get Shirogane to unknowingly say innuendos to get Kaguya to laugh.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Fujiwara is horrified when "Kaguya-chan" admits to liking Shirogane and Ishigami more than her, because she's known Kaguya for much longer and worked a lot harder to defrost her. [[note]]There's some outcome bias in this; the boys could only befriend Kaguya at all ''because'' Fujiwara had taught her to trust people previously.[[/note]]

* HeroicBSOD: After teaching Shirogane multiple subjects he sucks at, such as volleyball, musical rhythm, vocal pitching and rap, and getting him to a passable level, she dreads just ''remembering'' the training sessions because of how much effort she had to put in. In Chapter 176, Ishigami faces a similar volleyball problem and Fujiwara, noticing the DejaVu moment from Chapter 23, re-experiences the trauma she went through and is left in a half-catatonic state for a moment.

* HoistByHerOwnPetard: When Kaguya gets sick in Chapter 34, the student council members play a game to decide who gets to visit Kaguya. Fujiwara cheats by using the pattern of the cardback, but messes up one time, giving Shirogane the next turn. He sees through her trick and uses her card setup for himself to win the game.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Frequently used for [[HypocriticalHumor humor]]. It's usually Ishigami, the narrator and occasionally Kaguya who call her out on her hypocrisy.

** She claims that she wants to lose weight, but refuses to change her habits and takes things very easy. She keeps eating ramen, ice-cream and drinks bubble tea, and doesn't really do any activity that would help her lose weight.

** The whole game in Chapter 164 happened because of Fujiwara accusing the boys for being mean to her, although Shirogane pointed out that they were just responding to her insane antics. Fujiwara later declares that Kaguya is the only person to have been nice to her, while the narrator pointing out that Kaguya had been anything but that.
** She argues with Kaguya and Osaragi that they should consider Iino's feelings for Ishigami and that Ishigami at the end of the day is just a HormoneAddledTeenager who will date any cute girls. All these despite the fact that she is well aware of no other girls except Iino's circle of friends would ever approach Ishigami due to his status as a pariah. The icing on the cake is that she proclaims that she likes seeing Ishigami and Iino arguing, a huge 180 turn of her initial claim in ensuring Iino's happiness.

* ImplausibleDeniability: And she may even [[BelievingTheirOwnLies believe her own lies]]. After being told by Ishigami and Kaguya (Ice) that the things she's eating are actually high on carbs and sugar, she tries to come up with excuses for how wrong they are, despite clear evidence that she's gaining weight. For instance, her argument why drinking bubble tea is fine is because calories are a unit to measure heat, [[InsaneTrollLogic so anything that she perceives as cool must have zero calories]]. She also thinks eating ramen is fine, so long as it's spicy and she's sweating enough due to sweat being a sign of exercise. The fact that on top of the noodles, she countered the spicyness by eating fatty ice cream afterwards went right past her head. Not to mention, she then bought a bubble tea to prevent stress, as stress also supposedly causes someone to gain weight.
* ImprobablyLowIQ: In Chapter 15, Kaguya has an ImagineSpot where Fujiwara says that her IQ is 3. This isn't her actual IQ (which WordOfGod says is over 130), [[WithFriendsLikeThese Kaguya just has a very low opinion of her best friend]].

* InformedAttractiveness: Fujiwara is beautiful enough for Kaguya to consider her a serious barrier between herself and Shirogane. However, due to Shirogane having a SingleTargetSexuality for Kaguya, this is never really an issue. It's later implied that she does get asked out regularly, but dismisses the boys that approach her with pseudo-intellectual diatribes.
* InformedAttribute: She is supposedly really popular outside of the student council, but the only other characters she's ever really shown to interact with are her fellow Tabletop Games Club members and the Mass Media Club duo (the latter of whom view her as TheDreaded). Her friendship with Kaguya is also reported to be deep and long-lasting (going since middle school), but they rarely hang out in-series, with Kaguya turning to Kashiwagi for emotional support and advice instead. The final volume's profile for Fujiwara finally clarifies what "heroine" meant--that she actually serves as TheHeart of the Student Council and provided support and interaction for everyone there, allowing her to be "everyone's heroine".

* InTheBlood: PlayedForLaughs. She's a member of [[UsefulNotes/{{Fujiwara}} one of the most prominent families in the history of Japanese politics]], and this often expresses itself with her [[SleazyPolitician less noble attributes]].

* InUniverseFactoidFailure: She has a baffling lack of media knowledge, as shown when she thinks ''Anime/PrettyCure'' is a video game. Also earlier in chapter 96, she assumed that Kaguya and Ishigami cook their dishes with high-grade ingredients, this ignoring the fact that they are in school, which would've made it impossible to obtain said ingredients.

** In Chapter 51, she is also upset that she shares her birthday with Ishigami, because she doesn't want to share her special day with anyone else. This proves it in Chapter 200 when she goes ballistic by calling on the student council for not giving her party a separate day while whining that Shirogane (and Iino)'s gifts to her are bland, despite her gift to Ishigami being [[{{Hypocrite}} incredibly generic]].
** On the subject of birthdays, the only reason she wanted to throw Kaguya a suprise birthday party in Chapter 163 was to make sure that Kaguya would get something good for her when her own birthday came around.

** In Chapter 213, when she learns that [[TheFriendsWhoNeverHang Shirogane and Iino]] had befriended one another, she tries to make it a competition about who Iino likes more... And gets offended when Iino, despite saying she likes Fujiwara more, sits next to Shirogane, and then complains to Kaguya about him stealing Iino away from her.
** There are hints of Fujiwara wanting Kaguya all to herself in the story and reject the notion of her friend dating someone else. [[spoiler:After learning that Shirogane had been dating Kaguya for 4 months, she briefly went full ShippingTorpedo and accused their date as a {{Netorare}}]].

* JerkassRealization: [[spoiler:In Chapter 224, she realizes that the reason she didn't support Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship was because they've both grown so much as people that they can be happy without her around all the time, and this made her feel lonely. She rescinds her ShippingTorpedo attitude and [[RebuiltPedestal accepts Shirogane for who he is.]]]]

* LikeASonToMe: A PlayedForLaughs example. Since she helps Shirogane with a variety of subjects such as sports, music, cooking and even folding balloons, she's called him her son when emotional; her stupid, hopelessly annoying son who can't do anything right, destroying her image of him. But despite even gaining a trauma when it comes to helping him, she just can't help but teach him when he's failing, even once getting jealous when Kaguya started teaching him.

* LoveFreak: Despite never being in a relationship, she considers herself an expert in love, and often spouts inspiring speeches of love, passion and determination.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Platonic example. Fujiwara seems to ignore the fact that Kaguya frequently acts mean towards her.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Fujiwara's constant attempts to befriend Kaguya since middle school and wanting to see her laugh seems like a typical girl of this trope, but its subverted. What kicked in the latter's defrosting was seeing Shirogane's genuine kindness without trying to use Fujiwara's GenkiGirl approach.
* MeaningfulName: The kanji for her first name translate to "thousand flowers", befitting [[GenkiGirl her bright and sunny personality]].

* MsFanservice: Even if it's just an ImagineSpot, she gets a bikini scene as early as Chapter 7, and both the manga and the anime are prone to dressing her in clothing designed to accentuate [[BuxomBeautyStandard her figure.]] She's also one of the main focus on the chapter/OVA parodying {{fanservice}} getting the most of the MaleGaze shots and even a gratuitous SexySurfacingShot scene.

* MustMakeHerLaugh: Fujiwara mentions in Chapter 27 that it's been a long-time dream of hers to make Kaguya roll on the floor laughing. When she finds [[HehHehYouSaidX a word]] that makes Kaguya roar with laughter, she proceeds to say it again... and again... and ''again''.

* NeverGetsFat: She doesn't look any outwardly different despite her hedonistic lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Because Kaguya-chan will let her, Fujiwara takes the opportunity to forcibly cuddle her.

* {{Omniglot}}: As mentioned in HiddenDepths, she is fluent in five languages due to her mother being a diplomat (the exact languages other than Japanese and French are never specified, though one of them is probably German due to her love of German board games). Ironically, she sucks when it comes to her native Japanese (the official fanbook even lists it as her worst subject) since she spent so much time speaking other languages as a child that her fluency atrophied.

** A reluctant one for Shirogane concerning his lack of athletic coordination, non-existent dancing skills, and inability to sing. As she knows that Shirogane has an image to uphold, she cannot bring herself not to help him both out of pity and her own self-respect, which always come at a great toll for her because he's an awful, ''awful'' learner.

** Sort of inverted with Ishigami. Like all older council members, Fujiwara is aware of Ishigami's past, but keeps it secret to respect Ishigami's own wishes. As a way of protest, she left the file book about Ishigami's past in the open in the student council room, so that someone may one day find the file and the truth about Ishigami. As revealed in Chapter 178, [[spoiler:that someone turned out to be Osaragi.]]

** During their planning of their summer vacation, the student council throws ideas to the wall that she rejects because she'll not be able to attend because she'll be busy either traveling or studying. When they convene to go to the summer festival, Fujiwara immediately protests because she'll be at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Tomatina La Tomatina]] when the festival happens, but Ishigami calls her out on this, as she's going to have fun in Spain all while not wanting ''them'' to have fun without her.

* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:Like Shirogane, Fujiwara was hailed as a prodigy and pressured to excel at her particular area of expertise, in her case the piano. Both of them were miserable with their circumstances but pushed on to please others, but were convinced by Kaguya to cut themselves some slack. However, while Shirogane simply lightened his workload to only what was necessary and respects Kaguya as her own person, Fujiwara quit entirely, becoming lazy out of the desire to make up for lost time, meanwhile becoming possessive of Kaguya, wanting to be the most important person in her life no matter what. Their contrasting attitudes are reflected in their respective SenpaiKohai relationships with Iino; Shirogane supports her feelings for Ishigami genuinely and shows her nothing but respect, while Fujiwara supports her crush [[ShipperWithAnAgenda because she likes seeing them argue]], and exploits her naïve sense of morality to push her around. In essence, Fujiwara is who Shirogane would be if he succumbed to hedonism to escape his insecurities.]]

** [[spoiler:Happens again in Chapter 223 as she can't fathom the idea of Kaguya dating Shirogane after the two confided their relationship. Whereas Ishigami and Iino were pretty much welcoming to this, her trauma of training Shirogane was too unbearable that she compared the two's relationship to NTR]].

* SmarterThanYouLook: At first glance, Fujiwara may seem to be a ditzy, immature airhead, but considering how easily she outplayed Kaguya and Shirogane in the Banned Word Game, she actually has more emotional intelligence (and common sense) than the both of them combined. She also speaks multiple languages, is proficient in various subjects, and managed to train [[GiftedlyBad Shirogane]] from "traumatizingly incompetent" to "decent" in sports, singing, and dancing. In addition, narration during the first exams arc reveals that the only reason Fujiwara has middling grades is because both Kaguya and Shirogane manipulate her into not taking the exams seriously lest she get in the way of their duel for academic excellence.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She's a big fan of ramen, to the point that she has been recognized by several of the Ramen Emperors for her skill in eating it. She even sings about it in the second verse of her DancingTheme. [[spoiler:Although, the final Ramen Emperor chapter reveals that it ''isn't'' her favorite food, and if she had to pick a hypothetical last meal it would be sushi or yakiniku]]. She also likes drinking bubble tea, and desperately tries to argue against Ishigami, who notes how many calories this drink has, with InsaneTrollLogic.

* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Chapter 222 reveals that [[spoiler:she used to wear a mask of an honor student and was extremely close to crossing the DespairEventHorizon back in middle school due to the expectations and pressure that came with being hailed as a piano prodigy. Kaguya's rude, but ultimately well-timed advice for her to quit if she doesn't like it anymore caused her to be liberated and hasn't let it bother her since then.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Hilariously enough, she displays the typical traits when Shirogane needs her to teach him something in later chapters. She makes a big deal about how awful he is, only reluctantly agrees to help him, is ''very'' stern throughout the training despite how torturous she finds training him to be, and so very proud of him when he graduates to "decent" in whatever she is teaching him, but not to his face.
* UnknownRival: Despite being her best friend, Kaguya tends to get really jealous of Fujiwara being able to interact with the President in ways she could never even dream. Heck, when Kaguya thought of a person other than herself getting with the President, she thought of Fujiwara. For her part Fujiwara is aware of Kaguya's tendencies, but doesn't really know of Kaguya's inner feelings.

* WorldHalfFull: She is happy even about voters' stupidity, because usually it works in her favor.

* YourSizeMayVary: WordOfGod states that her ribbon changes size based on the humidity.

* YaoiFangirl: Her response when she [[MistakenForGay mistakenly believes]] Shirogane and Hayasaka (in a male disguise) are in a gay relationship is to get a {{Nosebleed}}.

* BrokenPedestal: Later in the series after so many events where Fujiwara went through hell to teach Shirogane how to improve on something he previously sucked at, she outright tells him that her once untainted good opinion of him has fallen quite a bit. [[spoiler:This reaches the point where, when she finally learns about Kaguya and Shirogane's romance, she tries to nuke it from orbit, due to a combination of wanting Kaguya for herself and believing Shirogane doesn't deserve her.]]

* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a well-endowed chest, which is part of why she's considered a DudeMagnet at school. Ironically the character who seems to fixate on her chest the most is Kaguya, due to her ACupAngst which is the source of a lot of BoobBasedGag, such as Kaguya insulting Fujiwara's chest whenever she curses at her under her breath or thinking she must have a "big-chested gene" in her family tree.

** [[spoiler:In Chapter 223, Fujiwara briefly disapproves of Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship, wanting her best friend all to herself and reject the notion of the latter having a boyfriend or dating someone else that isn't her]].

* CompressedHair: She's somehow able to fit all her hair (which goes down to her shoulders) underneath a bald cap without a visible buldge.

** Another chapter has her giving Shirogane a soda as a bribe to increase her club's funding.

** In Chapter 197, Shirogane plans to move with his family to the Minato ward, the same ward where Kaguya lives. Fujiwara suggests Ryougoku to him instead, though not because it's cheaper (which it is, using this as an excuse), but because it's considered a lower ward in Tokyo's caste system, and she doesn't want him to live in a ward that is considered to be a socially higher ward than Shibuya where she lives. Ishigami calls her out on this, as Shirogane's family would be saving nothing with the relatively cheaper rent because the long commute to school is similar or even worse than from where they live.

** She doesn't know that [[spoiler:Shirogane and Kaguya are dating, when Kashiwagi, Onodera, Maki, and even Iino are be aware of it. At least until Kaguya finally tells her in Chapter 222.]]
* LovableAlphaBitch: Later chapters show that Fujiwara revels in her high ranking on the social hierarchy, and likes picking on people she considers lower than her. She's somewhat aware that she's TheFriendNobodyLikes among the student council and can't stand it, apparently oblivious as to why she has that status in the first place, and in Chapter 197, she tries to talk Shirogane into moving to the Ryougoku district instead of Minato because he'd be higher than her on the Tokyo Caste System if he chose the latter.

* MamaBear: Fujiwara isn't even a mother, but she has the instinct of one. This is most often shown towards Shirogane and training him. Even when she doesn't want to teach him, just seeing Shirogane struggling and no one giving him support cause her to go into trainer mode. Kashiwagi states that Fujiwara sounds like her mother when declaring that a child's self-esteem needs nurturing and care for them to become better people.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Despite her {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and TheGadfly attitude, in Chapter 163 she is genuinely [[OhCrap shaken up]] when Iino doesn't react well to her joke about [[spoiler:[[WomanScorned dating Ishigami]]]] and decides to stop the joke right there to prevent unwanted damage.

* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:Like Shirogane, Fujiwara was hailed as a prodigy and pressured to excel at her particular area of expertise, in her case the piano. Both of them were miserable with their circumstances but pushed on to please others, but were convinced by Kaguya to cut themselves some slack. However, while Shirogane simply lightened his workload to only what was necessary and respects Kaguya as her own person, Fujiwara quit entirely, becoming lazy out of the desire to make up for lost time, meanwhile becoming possessive of Kaguya, wanting to be the most important person in her life no matter what. Their contrasting attitudes are reflected in their respective SenpaiKohai relationships with Iino; Shirogane supports her feelings for Ishigami genuinely and shows her nothing but respect, while Fujiwara supports her crush [[ShipperWithAnAgenda because she likes seeing them argue]], and exploits her naive sense of morality to push her around. In essence, Fujiwara is who Shirogane would be if he succumbed to hedonism to escape his insecurities.]]

* TearsOfJoy: Whenever she sees Shirogane succeed at something after she helps him. The second time it goes into InelegantBlubbering territory.

** In Chapter 110, she criticizes anime for having childlike characters with disproportionately huge breasts and unnaturally high pitched voices. Everyone else in the room recognizes this applies to her, but she doesn't.
