Appearance
Hair: Her dark brown hair is shoulder-lengthed, with her bangs swooped to the right side of her face and her hair usually in a spiky multicolored dyed ponytail.

Eye Color: Brown, but wears different colored contacts because of her stigmatism.

Attire
Due to her tomboyish nature, Chiharu usually wears boyish clothing but is also very fond of bright clothing.


 * School Attire: A white blouse with a red ribbon tie, light blue plaid skirt, white long stockings, black dress shoes, and navy blue blazer.
 * Winter Attire: A pink-purple t-shirt, a pair of dark tan baggy pants, a pair of black/orange sneakers, long dark blue scarf, a pair of dark blue arm-warmers, and a long black leather coat.

 * Swimming Attire: An purple/red tankini and a pair of black/purple boys' swimming trunks.

Personality
Chiharu is very outgoing and upbeat but is also very short-tempered and will get very violent when pushed. She does enjoy taking pictures of various places in her free time but has a hard time getting along with her overbearing parents.

Relationships

 * Aerys Ryugamine:
 * Akako & Aoi: Her next door neighbors who go to school with her.
 * Daisuke Kosaka:
 * Kamiko Minura: Hates her for always picking fights.
 * Kasumi Mizuki: Is roommates with her.
 * Osamu Kaname:
 * Sokutei Takano:
 * Uiharu Toketsu: Has a fierce rivalry with Ui, at first. Then the rivalry gets friendlier.

Ability
Chiharu's hands have some sort of magnetic property which could explain why she has a gland on each of her palms. She affects the magnetic charge on a target and then gives her fists the other charge, which would add momentum to her punches. Her punches can also blind targets if they're hard enough.

Music Themes

 * Girl in Action - originally titled Last Hunter from Final Fantasy XIII-2.

Etymology
Chiharu is a Japanese name related to 'spring' or 'sunny weather'. Fukui is the surname that means 'fortunate'.

Trivia

 * Chiharu originally was to be a loner and have a darker demanor and has a bitter rivalry with Ui. But due to many PCs having similar personalities, the idea was ultimately scrapped in favor of giving her a more hot-blooded and upbeat personality. Her rivalry with Ui has also been toned down to being more friendly.
