[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fujiwara.png]]

The secretary of the Shuchi'in Academy High School Student Council. A (mostly) nice, upbeat, and cheerful girl from a family of politicians, she is very close friends with Kaguya (though sometimes it is debatable if the feeling is completely mutual) and also highly respects Shirogane. She is apparently completely oblivious to the "high-stakes war" being waged in the minds between Kaguya and Shirogane.

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:A-G]]
* AchievementsInIgnorance:
** Fujiwara frequently derails the carefully-planned schemes of Kaguya and/or Shirogane in their DuelOfSeduction, all without knowing that there's scheming going on in the first place.
** 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. The 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".
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her hair has a noticeably pinkish tint in the anime, while the original manga has it more silvery.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: When Ishigami first hints that he has a crush on Tsubame in the manga, she seems completely clueless about what he's saying. The anime on the other hand has her pick up on it instantly.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. The anime doesn't ever draw attention to the fact that her treatment of Iino is very similar to that of an abusive lover.
* ADogNamedPerro: Her dog's name, Pes, is Czech for "dog".
* AdoptTheFood: Fujiwara procures a fish in Chapter 49 to help Shirogane overcome his fear of touching them so he won't embarrass himself when they make fillets in Home Economics. However, constantly taking care of it leads her to view it as a pet.
-->'''Fujiwara:''' This is my baby! You can't eat him!
* AllLovingHero: Fujiwara may [[TheGadfly tease her friends a lot]] (especially Ishigami), but she loves them all and sees the best in everyone. She's also a rare example of this trope applying to a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, as she isn't always the nicest or most considerate to others despite seeing the best in everyone.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Played for laughs. [[spoiler:During her "face-off" against the final Ramen Emperor, she ends up using the techniques of the previous three all without actually meaning to.]]
* 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.]]
* AmbiguouslyBi: While she insists that she's straight and mentioned at several points that she'd like to have a boyfriend if her father would actually allow it, her feelings for Kaguya are very eyebrow raising at certain points. And that's before you factor in [[spoiler:all the ShipTease she has with the equally AmbiguouslyBi Hayasaka in the latter half of the series, with her telling Hayasaka in Chapter 255 that she wouldn't mind being kissed by her and it even being stated in the character profiles of the final volume that they're living together as adults.]]
* 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 on her negative traits, instead of learning from said remarks.
* ArchEnemy: Played for laughs. She is one for Ishigami because he is very quick at finding her underhanded tactics and thus makes 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]].
* AttentionWhore: Downplayed. She loves being the center of attention, [[spoiler:and temporarily defects to Iino's side during the election arc for that reason]], but she doesn't usually (see JerkWithAHeartOfGold) force people to give it to her.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
** In Chapter 77, Fujiwara describes her romantic interest without naming the person. The catch is that she actually doesn't have a romantic interest currently and just used near-truths describing Kaguya (whom she does love non-romantically), so Kaguya and Iino could spill some secrets during their girl talk. During the conversation, Fujiwara admits that if she had to pull a HeroicSacrifice to protect her beloved, she would. At the end of the chapter, Kaguya affirms that Fujiwara is someone she treasures and wants by her side.
** In Chapter 224, she realizes that for all of the hell Shirogane put her through in overcoming his faults, she really is proud of the person he's become over the past year, [[spoiler:and accepts his and Kaguya's relationship.]]
* BatmanGambit: She's just as apt to pull them off as she's to fall for them.
** The Banned Word Game in Chapter 18/Episode 4 is an excellent example of the former. The game consists of 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.
** For the latter, during the Culture Festival, Fujiwara is tricked into keeping out of [[spoiler:Shirogane and Kaguya]]'s way when she's presented with something she just can't ignore: [[spoiler:a mystery game that would let her feed her ego forevermore if she solves it. Shirogane plays for keeps by anonymously presenting himself as a PhantomThief challenging people to catch him by solving a puzzle ''without'' a solution that will keep her busy with a WildGooseChase.]]
** For a similar but simpler example, in Chapter 178 Ishigami makes sure to schedule 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.
** 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-year students' 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 met 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 such 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 (more or less) 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.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Given that she's normally presented as a clueless goofball, it can be 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.
* BigEater: Not as much as Iino, but she likes to pretend she's on a diet and then stuff herself with ramen, sweets, or bubble tea. On that note, [[BerserkButton don't call her fat]].
* BigSisterMentor: She is Shirogane's (reluctant) teacher in mostly art-related subjects, and cries TearsOfJoy, like a mother being so proud of her son, whenever he eventually succeeds. In Chapter 176, she tries to be this to Ishigami, too, and teach him volleyball, but he repeatedly declines [[spoiler:because Kaguya is his mentor.]]
* BoyfriendBlockingDad: Her father bans her from reading shoujo manga because it has romance in it, and has also forbidden her from getting a boyfriend.
* BreakoutCharacter: Easily the most recognizable character in the anime, especially to audiences outside the show.
* 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 in doing that to someone she considers a close friend.
* 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. Fortunately, she changes her mind towards the end of the story.]]
* 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 many a 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. 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''.
* CasualKink: She likes the idea of being forced "just a little", much to [[ShelteredAristocrat Kaguya]]'s shock.
* CelibateHero: Inverted, she does want a boyfriend but her father forbade her from getting one. There's also the fact that the boys that like her and approach her romantically [[WeirdnessMagnet are pretty loopy]]. [[spoiler:She's also the only member of the Student Council who ends the series without a definitive LoveInterest.]]
* 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.]]
* 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 of this is that Fujiwara largely cheats for inconsequential stakes and nothing particularly serious.
* CheeryPink: Starting with Volume 8, her pink hair became more pronounced, going along with her bright and bubbly personality.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: She can and will turn on people at the drop of a hat if it would suit her needs. She ''is'' from a family of politicians after all.
-->''Wow, you really are a natural-born traitor.''
* ChubbyChaser: [[spoiler:In her final chapter she announces that her goal is to get married to a sumo wrestler. It's unclear just how serious she was being as while she has shown to be a fan of sumo several times in the past, she also spent most of the chapter trolling Kaguya.]]
* ClingyJealousGirl:
** In the oddest non-romantic way possible. Fujiwara hates being the one getting stuck teaching Shirogane stuff he sucks badly at time and time again -- in fact, she has something of a trauma about it -- yet she's jealously protective of that role. In Chapter 84, she gives up on trying to teach him Soran Bushi dancing for the sports festival, but she ''really'' doesn't like it when she comes back and finds Kaguya teaching him instead. Fujiwara gets DullEyesOfUnhappiness, [[FlatJoy laughs mirthlessly]], and becomes a rather nasty [[PassiveAggressiveKombat Passive-Aggressive]] CausticCritic. She even gets into an argument with Kaguya over her way of teaching, which somehow devolves into both girls subjecting Shirogane to a LoverTugOfWar.
** [[spoiler:In Chapter 223, Fujiwara briefly disapproves of Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship, wanting her best friend all to herself and rejecting 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 add 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.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: She correctly deduces the plot twists and secrets of the Hoshino Family during the special ''Manga/OshiNoKo'' [[https://youtu.be/lj0VKwhKOTI promotion]] done by the cast of ''Kaguya-sama''. She easily figures out that Aqua is Ai's son for one when she realizes that he and Ai have the same eyes and even goes as far as to somehow correctly piece out that Aqua was the reincarnation of a doctor in his previous life simply by observing how adult-like his actions were during the movie he starred in with Kana as a child, something only he [[spoiler:and one other character]] knows and keeps a secret in his series.
* CompressedHair: She's somehow able to fit all her hair (which goes down to her shoulders) underneath a bald cap without a visible bulge.
* TheConfidant: She's pretty familiar with Shirogane's weaker points (much to her chagrin), and is in fact the only one besides his family who knows about them.
* CoolBigSis: For Kei, with the two even sharing special friendship poses, though Kei doesn't harbor nearly as much admiration toward her as she does for Kaguya.
* CuteIndignantGirlStance: She performs an open-handed variation whenever Shirogane [[RageBreakingPoint pushes her to her breaking point]] during their training sessions.
* TheCutie: While she's a more jerkish example, 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.
* DamnedByFaintPraise: When she complains about everyone on the student council being mean to her in Chapter 164, the only thing Iino can say to cheer her up is that she hasn't lost respect for her ''yet''. The official English localization instead has Iino say "I still respect you, Fujiwara," which doesn't cheer Fujiwara up as much as Iino hoped, but doesn't fall into this trope.
* DeadpanSnarker: Develops quite the mean streak as the series progresses once her friction with Ishigami gains more focus and her opinion of Shirogane falls a bit after so much suffering she went through to teach him assorted things.
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: [[spoiler:Of the Static Character. Instead of growing nicer and working out her flaws as the manga progresses, Fujiwara [[TookALevelInJerkass gets meaner instead]], and never learns her lesson when karma strikes, which causes her to get left out whenever things get serious since [[TheFriendNobodyLikes nobody wants to deal with her.]] And ''because'' Fujiwara never grows as a person, when Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship is revealed, she [[ShippingTorpedo refuses them her blessing]] and declares war on Shirogane for [[ClingyJealousGirl trying to "steal" Kaguya from her]], while the rest of the Student Council can only roll their eyes at her for continuing to be so ignorant and self-centered even after so long.]]
* DitzyGenius: It becomes clear that she's more flaky than stupid, which isn't helped by her "best friends" sabotaging her test scores by tricking her into not studying. She's a musical prodigy, can speak five languages, design functional games, elaborate scams, and still scores slightly better than average on tests in a very difficult school despite almost never studying.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: According to Chapter 171, she doesn't like tomatoes. Oddly, this didn't keep her from attending La Tomatina, the largest tomato fight on the planet.
* DomesticAbuse: Her treatment of Iino bears a lot of resemblance to that of an emotionally abusive lover, complete with {{Gaslighting}}. Shirogane and Ishigami are quick to lampshade this.
* TheDreaded: She's Kaguya and Hayasaka's bane because they find her unpredictable and nigh-unstoppable:
-->'''Narrator:''' ''An extreme threat to Hayasaka... she... could not be predicted. Her thoughts could not be read. A ''NATURAL DISASTER'' who unconsciously threw everything into chaos by simply being present!''
* DudeMagnet: Fujiwara's popularity amongst the student body is often mentioned, though it's hardly ever shown outside of rare exceptions like chapter 87.
* DumbassHasAPoint: While the way she ''says'' things can come off as 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.]]
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In the first few chapters, her breasts weren't as obviously big as they are now and her signature bow was much smaller.
* 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 at Kaguya's suggestion eventually chose to quit and enjoy life more.]]
* ElephantInTheLivingRoom: Invoked. She comes to the startling realization that [[GreenEyedEpiphany she sees Shirogane as an individual that fills all her standards for the kind of man she'd like to date]] if she thinks about it for long enough. Frightened, she quickly represses the idea and changes the topic.
* 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 official fan book even lists the Japanese Language as her worst subject.
* EmptyEyes:
** When really mad, her eyes go blank as seen in Chapters 76 and 84.
** Also at the beginning of Chapter 164 she complains about being mistreated by fellow student council members, even though this one is a part of her TheGadfly habit.
** [[spoiler:She has this expression in Chapter 223 when she retracts the blessing she gave Kaguya and Shirogane.]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her very first scene does a very good job of showing off her primary character traits. She displays complete obliviousness to the mind games Kaguya and Shirogane are engaging in, [[SpannerInTheWorks throws Kaguya's carefully crafted plan into disarray by complete accident]], and [[BigEater eats a steamed bun]] [[SecretlySelfish that Kaguya and Shirogane were clearly already reaching for]].
* EmptyNest: [[spoiler:She came down with a platonic example of this towards Kaguya and Shirogane, feeling left out when they were each able to find happiness and success without her.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** It's implied that she is somewhat aware of Kaguya's occasional resentment and coldness towards her, but she never responds because she loves Kaguya and treasures her beyond all the petty stuff.
** It's shown that she helps Shirogane every time he wants to learn something because she cannot bear the thought that a person who commands as much respect as he does could be so awful at something, and cannot forgive herself if she doesn't do everything she can to fix the problem.
** 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 before any permanent damage occurs.
* FailedASpotCheck: Although she can tell that the council room "reeks of lovesickness", she has no idea that Kaguya and Shirogane are the cause of it, having been flirting under her nose for over a year. (Kashiwagi, a total stranger, realized this fact in under an ''hour''.)
** The spinoff implies that this is because she doesn't want to think of Kaguya loving someone (i.e, a boyfriend) more than her. Karen realizes that Kaguya made oyster rice because Shirogane likes it, and Iino says that the dish was clearly made with love, but [[SelectiveObliviousness Fujiwara doesn't want to hear the obvious conclusion]].
--->'''Fujiwara:''' If it's her feelings for me, her best friend who is also a judge, then I agree.
** This gets even worse for her in Chapter 223, [[spoiler:when it turns out that she was the only one in the student council who had no idea that Kaguya and Shirogane were in a SecretRelationship until Kaguya told her point blank the previous chapter.]]
* FearOfThunder: Not only is she afraid of the sound of thunder, but she also believes the legend that the thunder god will steal your belly button if you don't cover it. And she can't cover both of her ears and her belly button at the same time...
* FloweryInsults: Her criticisms of Shirogane's weak skills can get quite extravagant. For example, when she hears him sing, she describes his voice as "disgusting like a sea cucumber's intestines."
* {{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. However, it's clear that she's far more intelligent than she looks, and is just lazy, hedonistic and often selfish, while the main protagonists are far more hard-working, levelheaded, proud and selfless.
** Of course she's also a foil to Ishigami, given that she's a cheerful GenkiGirl while he's a depressed geek, and yet both are lazy in their own way (though Ishigami changes this later on) and they were even born on the same day (March 3).
* FoodAsBribe:
** One chapter has her and Kaguya reprimanding Shirogane for trying to eat instant ramen in the student council office. She quickly joins his side when he gives her one.
** Another chapter has her giving Shirogane a soda as a bribe to increase her club's funding. Shirogane isn't fooled for a second and instantly calls her out on it.
* 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. For this, and for her becoming more and more jerkish and egotistical, she becomes the apathetic.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine, of course, as she's definitely the most cheerful, outgoing, carefree and playful Council member.
* 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 regard 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.
* FriendToBugs: Has no trouble handling a cockroach in Chapter 15, and she was even able to identify the species at a glance.
* TheGadfly: She has a tendency to mess 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.
* GamerChick: She's a member of the Tabletop Games Club. She doesn't play video games, but that's only because her father forbids her from having them (and even then, she secretly has ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'' on her smartphone).
* GenderFlip: Kuramochi no Miko, her literary counterpart in ''The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'', was male.
* GenkiGirl: Is typically enthusiastic and full of positive energy. Nothing gets her down for long.
* GuileHero: Fujiwara is shown to be very adept at manipulating both Kaguya and Shirogane through mind games and wordplay, [[spoiler:as seen when she [[CurbStompBattle utterly defeats both of them]] in the Banned Word Game in Chapter 18.]]
* GuyOnGuyIsHot: Was forced to excuse herself to the bathroom during her sleepover with Kaguya when she got a nosebleed at the thought of Shirogane being in love with Hayasaka's male butler persona. She also shows interest in Shirogane and Ishigami's interactions in the light novel, where the former comments on the latter's butt and they have a bonding moment.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:H-R]]
* 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 ''because'' Fujiwara had taught her to trust people previously.[[/note]]
* HasAType:
** PlayedForLaughs. She once realized that Shirogane meets all of her standards, and immediately forced herself to dismiss the notion. [[spoiler: Later she amends her type to sharing hobbies like video games, and Shirogane realizes that Mikado meets those standards, only for Kaguya to veto it and promise to draw up a suitable list so she can find a boyfriend.]]
** After [[spoiler: she turns down a young pianist's invitation to move with him to Vienna, Fujiwara reveals that he isn't her type and wants to fall in love like Shirogane and Kaguya. What is her ideal mate? A sumo wrestler. It's unclear if she was being serious or not.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Despite her appearance as TheCutie, Fujiwara can lose her temper at the drop of a hat, especially if it's something involving Shirogane or Ishigami.
* TheHedonist: Fujiwara is someone who's all about having fun, eating food, and turning everything into a game [[spoiler:because she's trying to make up for all the time she lost when she was focused on being a piano player.]]
* HeroicBSOD: After teaching Shirogane multiple subjects he sucks at, such as volleyball, musical rhythm, vocal pitching, and rapping, 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.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The early series joked that she would be the heroine of the story under different circumstances, with Kaguya worrying that the girl would take her spot.
* HesitationEqualsDishonesty: In Chapter 275, she pauses for 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.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartner: She adores Kaguya with all her heart, and being Kaguya's friend is a significant source of pride for her. [[spoiler:Chapter 223 reveals that she's outright ''possessive'' of her, and doesn't want her to have a romantic relationship even if it wasn't Shirogane.]]
* HeroesLoveDogs: Has a dog, Pes.[[note]]"Pes" is Czech for "dog"[[/note]]
* HiddenDepths: While she acts like a KindheartedSimpleton most of the time, she most definitely is not dumb.
** Her mother used to be a diplomat, so Fujiwara has been 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 is also able to easily identify a certain type of cockroach in the storage room, and nonchalantly release it out the window, using her bare hands.
** She is very good at keeping secrets. It's the reason why she was Kaguya's OnlyFriend in middle school (since Kaguya would always test potential friends by telling them juicy gossip and having Hayasaka see if they leaked it to the rest of their social circle).
** There's also Chapter 34, where she tries to cheat in a card game. After Shirogane caught her, she ''cheated again'' using a different trick.
** She already ''knows'' Kaguya looks down on her, as revealed in Chapter 77, but states that she loves her regardless.
** As we learn from Iino, she was a very good pianist in the past.
** She fully intends to follow in her grandfather, father, and uncle's footsteps in becoming a politician after high school. Rather, she wants to be ''prime minister''. Considering her reputation amongst ''everyone else'' on campus, the reactions were appropriately concerned.
** Fujiwara is for some reason a natural-born Ramen connoisseur with a very minute and detailed method of eating.
** It's implied that [[spoiler:she likes Shirogane as a man a great deal more than she thinks.]]
** She's actually quite fit and even bench presses in her routines.
** Her IQ is over 130.
* 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 card back, but messes up one time, giving Shirogane the next turn. He sees through her trick and uses her card set up for himself to win the game.
* HyperspaceHolmesHat: While we are told where she got her "Love Detective" hat (from the Drama Club), her habit of just pulling it out of nowhere goes completely unexplained.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Frequently used for [[HypocriticalHumor humor]]. It's usually Ishigami, the narrator, and occasionally Kaguya who call her out on her hypocrisy.
** For instance, when Kaguya offers takoyaki to everyone, Fujiwara pulls out chopsticks because she is mindful of the environment, but immediately drops the act when Kaguya gives her a pick with a flag on it.
** She loves to make fun of Ishigami's lack of experience in romance, even VirginShaming him at one point, even though she has no experience in love, either.
** In Chapter 110, she criticizes anime for an abundance of wide-eyed, baby-faced, large-breasted female characters with unnaturally high-pitched voices and random hair accessories. Everyone else in the room recognizes this applies to her, but she doesn't.
** 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.
** In general, she likes to tease other characters, only to get offended when she's the one being teased.
** The whole game in Chapter 164 happened because Fujiwara accused the boys of 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 points 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 girl. All this despite the fact that she is well aware that 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]]. ''Everyone'' has the sense to call her out on it.
** 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'd become one as well. Kaguya nonchalantly pointed out that Fujiwara is already not very different from her aforementioned sisters.
* IconicItem: Her hair ribbon. You could probably count the number of panels where she isn't wearing it on one hand.
* 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 in 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 spiciness by eating fatty ice cream afterward 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), but a clear sign that [[WithFriendsLikeThese Kaguya just has a very low opinion of her best friend]].
* InappropriateRoleModel: Iino looks up to her, much to the bafflement of the rest of the student council.
* 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 who 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 provides support and interaction for everyone there, allowing her to be "everyone's heroine".
* InnocentBlueEyes: In the manga and anime she is depicted with blue eyes, though her "innocence" is questionable ''at best''.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: In Chapter 96 when judging Kaguya and Ishigami's fried rice, she keeps trying to say they used high-grade ingredients only for both of them to say it was just normal food.
* InTheBlood: PlayedForLaughs. She's a member of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Fujiwara}} 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]].
-->'''Kaguya:''' It runs in the family, doesn't it? She has the tainted blood of a politician in her veins.
* IntoxicationEnsues: She ends up getting drunk in Chapter 9 of ''Official Doujinshi'' when she binges on some alcoholic chocolate.
* 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, ignoring the fact that they are in school, which would've made it impossible to obtain said ingredients.
-->'''Ishigami:''' [[LampshadeHanging Your knowledge of otaku culture is astoundingly shallow]].
* ItAmusedMe: She messes with her friends because it's fun. This is also the same reason why she [[spoiler:ships Ishigami and Iino. She finds their arguments amusing and emphasizes this by making them play games against each other.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Downplayed example. She's kind and loving but she can be too focused on her desires instead of others.
** In Chapter 40, when Shirogane plans a trip with the rest of the student council, she tries to stop the others from going to a festival because she can't go with them, even though the reason she can't go is to attend another festival.
** 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 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]].
** On the subject of birthdays, the only reason she wanted to throw Kaguya a surprise 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 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 to or even worse than from where they live.
** 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 rejecting 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}}]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:She retracts her previous rejection of Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship when she realizes that she only did it because she feels her friends are moving on without her, and that she shouldn't care if she's less involved in their growth than she used to be as long as they're happy.]]
* JackOfAllTrades: Despite not being as awesomely brilliant as her friends, Fujiwara is far from stupid. She actually turns out to be a lot more knowledgeable than Kaguya (who is incredibly sheltered and didn't even know about the term 'first time') or Shirogane (who is good only in studies and barely anything else). She's also a polyglot, musician, minor athlete, and a bit of a social butterfly. There are even times when she outplays the protagonists ''by accident''.
* JerkassBall: [[spoiler:Her ShippingTorpedo attitude towards Shirogane and Kaguya lasts all of two chapters before she concedes that Shirogane has grown enough to be worth Kaguya's attention.]]
* JerkassRealization: [[spoiler:In Chapter 224, she realizes that the reason she didn't support Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship was that 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.]]]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Teasing, manipulative, and cheats at almost every game she plays, but she still loves her friends.
* KickTheDog: She has a knack for belittling Ishigami, as he's very good at pointing out her bullshit and making her feel bad as a result. As such, there's no lost love between them.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Fujiwara is boisterous about her detective skills and knowledge, but as everyone in the student council knows, she is usually talking tall when she tries to impress them.
* LadyInAPowerSuit: [[spoiler:As a politician, this becomes her outfit of choice as an adult, though she still wears her bow.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma:
** [[spoiler:After discovering that her little sister Moeha has a crush on Shirogane, she tries to humiliate him in front of her by exposing his disastrous dexterity with an assortment of children's toys. Shirogane turns out to be extremely skilled at all of them, prompting Moeha to love him even more.]]
** In Chapter 188, she makes Ishigami and Iino play a game of shiritori, where the loser has to admit that they are an idiot. As Iino gains a huge early lead, Fujiwara begins to mock Ishigami, who makes her promise that she also has to receive the punishment if Iino loses. After Fujiwara laughingly accepts, Ishigami makes a comeback and wins. He then records Fujiwara's confession and gives her a name tag titled "big fat idiot". To add salt to the wound, he doesn't force Iino to go through with the punishment.
* 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 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.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
** She was the only one in the student council who 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.
** She doesn't know that [[spoiler:Shirogane and Kaguya are dating, when Kashiwagi, Onodera, Maki, and even Iino are 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. Due to her otherwise loving nature, her friends are more than willing to help her if needed.
* 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 meanly toward her.
-->'''Fujiwara:''' You're the only one who's nice to me anymore, Kaguya-san!\\
'''Narrator:''' No, she isn't.
* 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 causes 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.
* 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 it's 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 translates to "thousand flowers", befitting [[GenkiGirl her bright and sunny personality]].
* MistakenForGay: Erika thinks that she's in a relationship with Hayasaka due to having witnessed their ForcefulKiss without any context.
* MomentKiller: Leave it to her to break the tension by suddenly appearing out of nowhere. She's done it so often that, in Chapter 165, Shirogane expects her to show up to break the awkward silence between him and Iino.
* 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 focuses of the chapter/OVA parodying {{fanservice}} getting the most of the MaleGaze shots and even a gratuitous SexySurfacingShot scene.
* MustMakeAmends: Chapter 175 has Fujiwara pampering Iino, after she revealed in the previous chapter that she abuses Iino's KindnessButton and Iino was standing [[RightBehindMe behind her]].
-->'''Ishigami:''' I see you're blatantly trying to make up for what you said the other day.\\
'''Fujiwara:''' ''[with EmptyEyes]'' Be quiet, Ishigami-kun.
* 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 [[RuleOfThree again]]... and ''[[OverlyLongGag again]]''.
* 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 has. 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.]] Fortunately for her, Shirogane has no interest in Moeha as a girlfriend, though even after learning who he chose to date it took Fujiwara a few moments to accept it.
* NeverBareheaded: You could probably count the number of times that Fujiwara is shown without her bow on one hand. She even keeps it on when she's wearing a bald cap, or when she has a towel wrapped around her head after getting out of the bath.
* NeverGetsFat: She doesn't look any different outwardly despite her hedonistic lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits.
* NobleBigot: It's only her personal rap that reveals she's not sure how to treat gay people. In all other situations, her natural kindness leads her. Even in Chapter 152, she states that doesn't hold any prejudice towards the LGBTQ community.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Because Kaguya-chan will let her, Fujiwara always takes the opportunity to forcibly cuddle her.
* NotSoInnocentWhistling: She tries to whistle after giving Shirogane an incredibly obvious bribe to increase the funds for the Tabletop Games Club in episode 7. Unfortunately, she doesn't know how to whistle and it just makes her even more obvious.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She usually comes across as a somewhat ditzy {{Cloudcuckoolander}} (and she's genuinely a KnowNothingKnowItAll when it comes to her supposed skills as a detective), but there are more than a few instances where it's shown that she's smarter than she lets on. [[spoiler:Chapter 222 reveals that she puts up a carefree front so people won't expect great things from her anymore.]]
* ObliviousMockery: Is on the receiving end of this when [[spoiler:Kaguya and Shirogane come clean about their [[OfficialCouple relationship]] to the rest of the student council]], with Ishigami and Iino saying that any competent member of the student council [[EveryoneCanSeeIt would have already noticed beforehand]].
* OddCouple: Although she endlessly bickers with Ishigami, she cares about him and [[spoiler:was adamant that the council should save him from having his reputation smeared]].
* {{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 fan book even lists it as her worst subject) since she spent so much time speaking other languages as a child that her fluency atrophied.
* OnlyFriend: Discounting Hayasaka (who is [[HeterosexualLifePartner more of a sibling]]), she was Kaguya's sole friend during middle school. Kaguya actually didn't want any friends at all, but Fujiwara's sheer persistence eventually won her over.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Despite her {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and [[TheGadfly Gadfly]] 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.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** When rapping, Fujiwara drops f-bombs.
** When Shirogane conveys his thoughts about the Ishigami ship war [[ItMakesSenseInContext through mantra]], she can only reply...
-->''"Wh-What the fuck are you talking about?"''
* RebuiltPedestal:
** Whenever Fujiwara does something that [[BrokenPedestal damages Iino's opinion of her]], she's very quick to butter her up with sweet talk to get her to forgive her. [[DeconstructedTrope Shirogane and Ishigami are both disturbed by their relationship]], comparing Iino to an abused lover.
** [[spoiler:In Chapter 224, when Shirogane gets the hang of ballroom dancing much faster than she anticipated, she realizes how much Shirogane has grown over the past year and realizes that he no longer needs her dedicated guidance, and she gives him and Kaguya her blessing, confident in Shirogane's ability to improve on his own.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: On both sides with much of the cast.
** Normally, she's the carefree and lazy blue to Shirogane's studious and {{Workaholic}} red, but as soon as she has to teach him something Fujiwara becomes the exasperated red to his clueless blue.
** She's primarily the airheaded red to Kaguya's cold and calculating blue, though it's clear that Kaguya's the amicable blue to her selfish red.
** Typically, Fujiwara is the approachable and energetic red to Ishigami's introverted and lethargic blue. However, Ishigami is far more trustworthy and kindhearted while Fujiwara is both selfish and occasionally unscrupulous, inverting their dynamics.
** Fujiwara is the easygoing blue to Iino's hard-lining red. Underneath that, however, Iino is the upstanding and supportive blue to her disruptive and backwinding red.
** While Hayasaka is usually the calm and collected blue to her airheaded and bubbly red, it's the other way around when it comes to romance; Fujiwara is generally content with being single in the end, while Hayasaka does indeed have finding a boyfriend as one of her end-goals.
* ResignedToTheCall: She coached Shirogane on various things often enough to the point that she [[HereWeGoAgain already expects to be teaching him]] the moment he's tasked to do or perform something.
-->'''Fujiwara:''' ''(on teaching Shirogane ballroom dancing)'' It's strange... the moment I heard the word "dance", I had already mentally prepared myself. Right now, [[TalksLikeASimile my heart is as calm as the morning breeze, as tranquil as a quiet morning in Karuizawa]]...
* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler:During the balloon thief incident, she claims that the thief meant it as a personal challenge to her. While it's just her ego talking, Shirogane did throw the whole thing together to distract her specifically.]]
* 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. {{Downplayed}} as she becomes more jerkish later on.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:S-Y]]
* SecretKeeper: For all her flaws, Fujiwara is very good at keeping people's secrets.
** 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 comes at a great toll on her because he's an awful, ''awful'' learner.
** She also turns out to be one for Kaguya, as Kaguya tests potential friends to find out if they would spill her secrets to other people. Fujiwara managed to pass, which is why she is one of the few actual friends Kaguya has.
** 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.]]
* SecretlySelfish: Behind all her sweetness and friendliness lies a girl who wants to have the cake and eat it too:
** When Kaguya catches a cold, she twice tries to rig a card game with Shirogane and Ishigami in order to be the one who visits Kaguya at home, notwithstanding that she's had the privilege of having visited Kaguya before.
** During the 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.
** When she learns Ishigami's birthday is on the same day as hers she is livid because if their friends have to celebrate both their birthdays she feels it takes away her "specialness".
* 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 points out that Fujiwara isn't really different from her sisters, she is quick to exclude herself from the matter.
* 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 Senpai-Kohai 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.]]
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler:She ships Ishigami/Iino because she likes watching them argue.]]
* ShippingTorpedo:
** [[spoiler:She tries to dissuade Moeha from having a crush on Shirogane due to all her time training him having given her PTSD.]] Fortunately for Fujiwara, (at least in regards to that problem) Shirogane has no interest in dating Moeha and doesn't even find out about her crush on him.
** [[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 so unbearable that she compared the two's relationship to NTR]].
* SignatureHeadgear: Her ever-present "super black" hair ribbon. [[RuleOfFunny She even has it on when she's wearing a bald cap and trying to fool everyone into thinking she shaved her head]].
* SignificantBirthDate: She is very proud to have been born on March 3, celebrated in Japan as Hinamatsuri (Girls' or Dolls' Day), but not so much at the fact that Ishigami also shares the same birthday.
* SitcomArchNemesis: She and Ishigami are constantly at each other's throats and any semblance of a dignified discussion usually goes out of the window whenever they fight. She intensely dislikes him because he doesn't hesitate to call out her AlphaBitch tendencies.
* SleazyPolitician: She's basically what happens when this trope is filtered through a school setting. While she normally acts like TheCutie, she gleefully admits that campaign promises don't mean anything, has given and accepted bribes, and betrays her friends at the drop of a hat if it suits her purposes.
* 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 that both Kaguya and Shirogane manipulate her into not taking the exams seriously lest she get in the way of their duel for academic excellence.
* SoProudOfYou: Whenever Shirogane develops adequate skill in something, she is gushingly proud of him, much like a mother would of her son.
* SoreLoser: Apart from the fact that she likes to cheat at games, Fujiwara is not very dignified when she's found out either.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Many situations would have been a clear victory for one side, only for Fujiwara to say or do something unexpected, resulting in the tables being turned or forcing a mutual defeat. She did this enough times to spawn a [[WildMassGuessing long-running fan theory that she's aware of the situation and secretly manipulating them both]], [[spoiler:although chapter 222 confirms that she really was ignorant about it]]. Also, she apparently ruins Hayasaka's missions enough that she's referred to as "Subject F".
* SternTeacher: Her TrainingFromHell sessions with Shirogane have her running him and herself ragged, often sporting her iconic "demon" headband while barking instructions.
* StupidSexyFriend: When Chapter 73 has Shirogane prompt Ishigami to consider the student council girls as possible romantic prospects, Ishigami actually quietly considers Fujiwara for a bit and blushes. Then he recoils in horror at the realization that if he lets his guard down, he could easily fall for her.
* SuperHearing: As a musician of great merit, she has a keen ear. Even though Shirogane had memorized the school's anthem and so could flawlessly mouth it during an assembly, she could still discern that he wasn't actually singing because she could hear his silence amidst his classmates.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: In Chapter 275, Iino proposes that the real reason why Fujiwara [[spoiler:chose to give a campaign speech for one of Iino's opponents for StudentCouncilPresident]] was for Iino's sake, specifically [[spoiler:to test whether Iino was up to the job]]. [[HesitationEqualsDishonesty Fujiwara goes silent]], and after a BeatPanel, says, "Yup!" prompting Osaragi, who's narrating, to remark, "Yeah, no way."
* SurprisinglyNormalBackstory: Unlike the others, Fujiwara has a loving family and while a bit of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, she's otherwise well-adjusted.
* SweetOnPollyOliver: Fujiwara finds Hayasaka's male butler disguise very attractive, gaining a bit of a crush on her while the latter waits on her.
* TearsOfJoy: Whenever she sees Shirogane succeed at something after she helps him. The second time it happens goes straight into InelegantBlubbering territory.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Brought up in Chapter 84, when Fujiwara and Kaguya attempt to teach Shirogane the Souran dance. While Kaguya thinks it's fine to just perfectly copy the moves, Fujiwara is horrified and argues that true quality stems from conveying one's feelings and using one's heart to dance. Ultimately, she is right, as understanding the feelings of a rope being pulled is what helps Shirogane learn the dance.
* TerribleArtist: Fujiwara normally excels in the arts, having displayed a great deal of talent in piano playing, singing, acting, freestyle rap, and balloon art. Despite this, her drawing of Hayasaka when they're paired up together in art class is hilariously bad.
* ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels: Played for laughs. She finds Shirogane's lack of coordination so offensive against common sense that she cannot avoid helping him, because she'd be doing a service to the world by ridding it of something so ''awful''. Also, she deems that his position as president and a model for all students would be marred otherwise.
* TookALevelInJerkass:
** Her nastier qualities become more prevalent after Iino joins the council, as she becomes more manipulative, more disrespectful, and generally treats everyone but Kaguya like trash. The crowner comes when she makes a list of qualities she dislikes about Ishigami, which as Shirogane points out, [[{{Hypocrite}} consists almost entirely of things he does in response to her own bad habits]].
** She takes ''another'' level when she [[spoiler:learns that Kaguya and Shirogane are dating. She goes full ShippingTorpedo, declares Shirogane unworthy of Kaguya, and leaves the Council room to find ways to test their relationship. Though it only takes her [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor one chapter]] to accept their relationship.]]
* 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.
* TraumaButton: The memory of all the times she taught Shirogane is apparently so horrible that merely bringing it up causes her to go straight to a ThousandYardStare.
* TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Chapter 222 reveals that [[spoiler:she used to wear the 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.]]
* {{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 is 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 of. 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.
** Fujiwara is this to Hayasaka as well, due to the times where Fujiwara has made her to fail some of her missions because of Fujiwara being unpredictable.
* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Later in the series, much of the comedy around her involves her showing off her bad side, accidentally or not, and then getting chewed on by the other council members (especially Ishigami).
* WastedBeauty: Ishigami sees her as this, given that he thinks he could have fallen for her if it wasn't for her ditzy behavior and selfish streak.
* WeightWoe: She starts trying to lose weight over winter break. The fact that she applies very loose logic to her eating habits like "cold foods don't have calories because calories are a measurement of heat" and "eating lots of spicy food is the same thing as exercise because both make you sweat" doesn't really help. She also doesn't really want to work out. She uses an electric bike and tries to make Ishigami stop working out in the student council room, as she is sure someone would point out that she should join him (which Kaguya does).
* WeirdnessMagnet: Invoked. Kaguya explains that for a boy to approach Fujiwara with romantic prospects, he'd have to be ''pretty'' weird. She came to this conclusion after witnessing Fujiwara rejecting a boy who [[SuperGullible somehow falls for her dumb counterargument against dating]].
* WhatTheHellHero:
** She goes into [[BerserkButton a rather fundamental wrath]] every time Shirogane tries and fails to do something he thinks he's doing right, but is obviously doing completely wrong. What bothers her the most is how undeservedly proud he is whenever it happens.
** She is very upset when she learns in Chapter 188 that she was the only one who didn't know Ishigami had a date with Tsubame (because he knew she would have wanted to {{date peep|ers}}). When she calls them {{Ungrateful Bastard}}s, Ishigami asks her what she ever did for him, making her so mad that she challenges him to another shiritori game. The first word she comes up with is calling him a dick.
* WildCard: Fujiwara is considered an unpredictable force of nature [[SpannerInTheWorks who can cause even the most meticulous of plans to fall apart by her mere presence]]. Appropriately, the first season of the anime gave her the {{Playing Card Motif|s}} of the Joker.
* WorldHalfFull: She is happy even about voters' stupidity because usually it works in her favor.
* YaoiFangirl: Her response when she [[MistakenForGay mistakenly believes]] Shirogane and Hayasaka (in a male disguise) are in a gay relationship is to get a ''massive'' {{Nosebleed}}.
* YoungerMentorOlderDisciple: Downplayed with all the times she trains Shirogane, as the age gap between them is just shy of six months.
* YourSizeMayVary: WordOfGod states that her ribbon changes size based on the humidity of the environment it's in.

----

* SecretKeeper:

* 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.

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.
