History Characters / LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Aisha has been controlling the events of Fujiko's life for the entire series. But she's been doing it on behalf of Count Almeida, making him the mastermind responsible for everything bad that's happened to the main characters. Since he's dead, he is no longer an actual person forcing Aisha to do anything. Aisha' fear, however, makes him a BiggerBad to her, and [[InvertedTrope inverting the trope]] in the process.]]

* BiggerBad: This series [[InvertedTrope inverts]] the idea of a mastermind being revealed as the toy to an even more powerful and impersonal force. [[spoiler: The character acting as the unapproachable mastermind dictating every event in the series is revealed to have two assistants, Aisha and Minerva, who have continued his experiments after he died. But Aisha couldn't bear the thought of her experiences being over, so she continued the torture. He is, therefore, completely impersonal while still operating as the BigBad at the same time.]]

Aisha is the daughter of two scientists who worked for Count Almeida. Picked out as his favourite experiment, she was not only the victim of physical torture and brainwashing, but also given FalseMemory of additional tortures, selected from the other experiments. Unable to accept Almeida’s death, she continued the memory and torture experiments, modifying the pattern to discover what she might’ve done if the experiments hadn’t left her a quadriplegic.

* TheDragon: The leader of the Glaucus Pharmaceuticals's Owl Men, and the one ordering them in the field. Second in command to Almeida [[spoiler:but in actuality Aisha]].
* DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler:With the Count dead, she lived on to serve Aisha. Fujiko removes Aisha from her machine and takes her away, where she later dies, while Minerva's left by herself]].

A recurring Owl-headed nook who meets with different members of the main cast in order to carry out Glaucus Pharmaceuticals's mysterious agenda. [[spoiler:In actuality she's Minerva Kaiser, Aisha's mother. She was so ashamed that she couldn't resist Count Almeida that she erased herself from Aisha's memories, and serves as her second-in-command as Aisha takes over Almeida's experiments.]]

!!The "Owl of Minerva", a.k.a Dr. Minerva Kaiser

Minerva is Aisha's mother, but was so ashamed that she couldn't resist Count Almeida that she erased herself from Aisha's memories, and serves as her second-in-command as Aisha takes over Almeida's experiments.

* MissingMom: Dr. Minerva Kaiser is Aisha's mom. Everyone assumed that she died early on in Aisha's life but in actuality, she was one of the scientists that took part of making Aisha the way she is. She became so overwrought with guilt that she had erased herself out of Aisha's memories, which we saw through Fujiko and became the 'Owl of Minerva' to serve as a HypercompetentSidekick to Aisha as a way to absolve her failure to protect her child.

Count Almeida is an Owl-obsessed MadScientist who owns the Fiction500 pharmaceutical organization, Glaucus Pharmaceuticals.

* JerkassFacade: At Times her selfish image of a thief can be shirked off for a more tender side. In episode 3 she posed as a governess to the monarch's children in order to steal a priceless family heirloom, but she still takes the time to tuck the kids in and confessed that she had fun (more to herself than the kids who were sleeping) before making her escape.

* WilliamTelling: To prove his skill to an employer the man has Jigen shoot a cherry from in between his wife's lips. He lampshades it, saying the stunt is overdone.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Subverted. [[spoiler: While he has a HeelRealization and throws himself into a river holding a bomb, the police never found the body, which triggers Inspector Zenigata actually tracking down Fujiko and demanding some answers from her. The two of them go looking for the Owls. [[spoiler: They find Oscar in a room full of Fujiko clones.]]

* AnimalMotifs: Owls are Count Almeida's preferred animals, to the point where the drug ''Fraulein Eule'' will make people think they see people with Owl heads, and not notice anything out of the ordinary.

* BackToBackBadasses / EnemyMine: With [[spoiler: Zenigata]] in the first part of the finale [[spoiler: in tow of finding Oscar and fighting her clones]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: He becomes inflicted with the Dizzy Powder and proceeds to chase Lupin while gunning him down in the second part of the finale.]]
* TheRival: Fought against Fujiko several times, while his rivalry with Lupin develops into a shaky friendship.

* HyperAwareness: Figures out quickly that [[spoiler:the crimes attributed to Fujiko are not actually being committed by her due to the actions being very out of character for her]], which is the reason he doesn't pursue them despite his chase of Lupin being contingent on them. Likewise, he quickly realizes the real culprit is [[spoiler:Oscar, after seeing the tattoo Oscar has on his chest in one of the photographs]].

* DiabolicalMastermind: [[spoiler:Probably takes the cake in the Lupin franchise. [[spoiler: He actually [[DeadAllAlong died before the series started]]]]. Aisha, his "daughter", was unable to cope with the idea the experiments would end, and followed in her "Papa"'s footsteps, growing it.

* SlutShaming: Does this to Fujiko, calling her a pig and spittoon for sleeping with Zenigata, but it's pretty clear this is out of [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]] than genuine slut shaming.
