But after redeeming Kumagawa she needed a new villain, and so, since teenage fanfic writers have no understanding of how bad and messed up sexual assault is, and carelessly include it only as a plot device to make a story DarkerAndEdgier, she created Fukurou, intending to give Medaka more angst and have a character so one-dimensionally vile that none of the readers object to him being killed gruesomely.

In the version of the manga that she read, Kumagawa is the BigBad, and a CompleteMonster whose defeat ends the series and obviously never joins the heroes. But Ajimu [[PerverseSexualLust loves]] Kumagawa and as such [[DracoInLeatherPants makes him significantly less evil than in canon]], though she decides to save the redemption arc she thought up for him for later in the story so he is still an ArcVillain for a bit, despite his motives becoming contradictory and nonsensical. On the other hand, she hates and despises Emukae, and as punishment she turns her from [[BadPowersGoodPeople the fifth Student Council member who is part of a love triangle with Zenkichi and Medaka]] into [[RonTheDeathEater a completely insane lunatic unhealthily obsessed with Zenkichi despite now being an enemy, and who can’t control her destructive powers]]. Compare her to Shibuki and Gagamaru, who in the original were psychopaths ''before'' getting their powers and this fact corrupting said powers, which nuance Ajimu did not understand so she just placed Emukae among Kumagawa’s minions and made the distinction between Plus and Minus completely arbitrary.
Shiranui was a MuggleBestFriend for Zenkichi, so Ajimu didn’t much care for her, but she didn’t treat her as badly as Emukae because her brother is also a fan of the series and Shiranui is his favorite character. She would later give him a SelfInsert as well, namely Hanten, and he would collaborate with her later on, causing Hansode to have a power all of a sudden, and Iihiko was his idea, the ultimate InvincibleVillain to close the story off. Before then, Ajimu just invented all of Class 13 as [=OCs=] for her original story arc, the Flask Plan. The desire to make a perfect human is fitting, as if Ajimu could accept human imperfections in the first place, she wouldn’t write unbearably “perfect” Mary Sues. None of these [=OCs=] are remotely relevant after their arc is finished, being just tools to cause conflict. Medaka’s siblings are {{OC Stand In}}s however, as in the “original” they are mentioned but don’t appear, much like their father later.

[[WMG: Ajimu is a MarySue who gained self-awareness.]]
* And the manga as we know it is just fanfiction. Ajimu is a SelfInsert character who was written into the story during a “middle school arc” that we never get to see because [[AlternateUniverseFic her presence fundamentally warped canon and made divergence inevitable]]. Her author, a preteen girl, fantasized about being friends with Medaka and Zenkichi and so let her AuthorAvatar go to her school. (Indeed, even in the real-life story, Medaka never talks to Ajimu as anything but a friend.) But being an inexperienced writer, Ajimu failed to properly replicate the characters, and intentionally changed them in some cases. Medaka is TheHero, so she made her [[InvincibleHero skilled at everything]], but since the canon characters cannot outshine the Sue, Ajimu received far more than the SuperpowerLottery to ensure she would always be above Medaka. Zenkichi is [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands suddenly revealed]] [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat to be a skilled martial artist with no foreshadowing]] because the author doesn’t understand the necessity of foreshadowing, but likes Zenkichi too much to make him TheLoad once her OriginalCharacter villains show up. She is neutral toward Akune and Mogana so they gradually lose importance as she bores of writing them.
In the version of the manga that she read, Kumagawa is the BigBad, and a CompleteMonster whose defeat ends the series and obviously never joins the heroes. But Ajimu [[PerverseSexualLust loves]] Kumagawa and as such [[DracoInLeatherPants makes him significantly less evil than in canon]], though she decides to save the redemption arc she thought up for him for later in the story so he is still an ArcVillain for a bit, despite his motives becoming contradictory and nonsensical.
