Fuku
CharacterFuku is a wealthy daimyō's daughter engaged to Chikara of the Land of Noodles. Anxious ahead of meeting her fiancé, she binged until she gained weight, then hired Ino Yamanaka as a body double to charm him in her place.
Appearance
Fuku has long blonde hair and large blue eyes. In her slimmer days she looked strikingly like Ino Yamanaka, the chief difference being her shorter bangs, which frame both sides of her face rather than just the left. Anxiety-driven overeating later added considerable weight to her frame. She rounds out her look with oval blue earrings and a pink kimono dotted in red.
Personality
Fuku is headstrong and set on winning the man she loves, though beneath that resolve she harbors insecurity about her looks and her standing in life.

History
Nervous about meeting the man she was to marry, Fuku ate to calm herself and put on a great deal of weight. To salvage the match, she engaged Ino Yamanaka, whose resemblance to her thinner self was uncanny, along with Naruto Uzumaki, the only member of the Konoha 11 free at the time, and set them to a body-double job meant to charm Chikara in her place. Determined to the point of being hard on the pair, she pushed the plan ahead despite its cracks. It ultimately fell apart when Chikara caught sight of the real Fuku, yet he proved to prefer her as she now was, and the engagement went forward.
