Fuji
Fuji is an unlockable character in Dead Estate.
Appearance
Fuji is a strong, pink haired and tall muscular lady with a pink leotard along with her signature pink and white mask.
In her B Costume, she wears a white business shirt with yellow tie, light brown pants, and replaces her mask with a pair of glasses. The costume is a reference to Senator Armstrong from the 2013 game "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance"
In her C Costume, she wears a blue and pink wrestling outfit that resembles a Lucha libre costume. The costume also bears heavy resemblance to that of Mask De Smith from the 2005 game "Killer 7"

Strategy and Preferred Items
Fuji is entirely focused on close-ranged combat, the only weapon she has being able to dish out high damage at the expense of being close to enemies at all time. It's easier to take more risky plays as her due to her high health and ability to dash away form danger if it calls for it.
- Ignore items that benefit specific Weapon types, such as Special Rounds and Gunpowder, as these have no affect on the boxing gloves and are practically useless.
- Due to her low starting speed, items like Diet Pills and Soap Bar that increase her speed greatly benefit Fuji.
- Sugar? might be worthwhile due to her high starting HP neutralizing the half HP reduction.
- Items that increase HP such as Peanut Butter Bunny and Gold Herb aren't as important to Fuji due to her high starting HP.
- Because she is constantly doing up-close damage, items like Ice Cube and Taser can allow better getaways if Fuji is cornered.
- Because she automatically destroys weapons, items like Heart of Steel and Trade-in-Receipt will get more use than normal.
- Her fists are considered bullets, meaning items like Busted Microwave and Weird Magazine will work on her.
