Early Life

Not much had been written about Funifura's early life prior to her enrolling at school, though it was known that apart from being the daughter to a magic item craftsman, she had been a doting sister to her little brother for a long time.

School Days Arc

Funifura had already began growing close to Dodonko ever since their commencement ceremony in Red Prison, though compared to the top students like Megumin, Yunyun, and Arue, her grades were only mediocre.

At school after classes ended on a hot summer day, Funifura and her classmates were discussing topics like wishing upon a star and curses, when Pucchin came telling that classes would be postponed for an hour tomorrow because the villagers planned to make it snow overnight for lowering the temperature, following which she quarreled with Megumin over body height. Making it to the snowy schoolyard early next morning, she teaming up with Dodonko began pelting Megumin with snowballs upon her arrival as payback, which in turn prompted Arue as well as Yunyun to join in, before enjoying the shaved ice sold to them by Nerimaki and indeed attending classes late as a result. After spending the ensuing summer vacation which came early playing around, Funifura on the last day realised that she didn't do her summer homework, so along with Dodonko went to ask Megumin for help at her home, only to find her in addition to Arue and Nerimaki also in the same situation. The five of them next headed for the chief's home, where it turned out Yunyun had finished her homework at the start of the vacation. Guiltily accepting Yunyun's offer of letting them copy her homework, which under Funifura's spurring they completed at nightfall, she joined the others to Demon's Hill for fulfilling Yunyun's wish of watching stars with friends, though they ended up only looking at the fireworks under a cloudy sky courtesy of the villagers battling against the Great Spirit of the Summer. The girls soon witnessed somebody summoning a shooting star, so in accordance with Dodonko's belief, Funifura made a wish for her little brother to grow up handsome and rich.

After school restarted, while doing self-study on the late morning following a downpour during physical education lessons, Funifura teased Yunyun for studying guidebooks about making friends who are not necessarily human until Megumin stepped in. And on the following day, like her classmates Funifura also became fascinated with the black cat Megumin began bringing to school regularly, who the class decided to temporarily call "Kuro".

As the lonely Yunyun once more studied guidebooks for making friends with inhuman creatures during self-study while Pucchin was out dealing with monsters around the Crimson Demon Village, Funifura saw it as an opportunity to use her for gain, and so along with Dodonko approached asking Yunyun to become their friend, though Yunyun's heightened reaction momentarily unnerved her. She and Dodonko anyhow ate lunch together with Yunyun and Megumin, during which the girls discussed topics of romance.

On the day Pucchin called for field training in the forest, Funifura and Dodonko "cuckolded" Yunyun away from Megumin as the three of them made up a team. But as the class wielding oversized mock weapons went around finishing off the weak monsters Pucchin had frozen stiff for them, Funifura upon noticing a Lovely Rabbit encased in ice, ganged up with Dodonko in an attempt to force Yunyun into stabbing the cute monster with her real short sword, up until Megumin again stepped in to intervene.

The girls all paused when Arue alerted them to the presence of a Servant of the Dark God nearby, then as they panickedly scattered in different directions, Funifura and Dodonko ran straight to Pucchin for alerting him. Subsequent to Pucchin defeating the Demon just in time and letting the class off early, she and Dodonko invited Yunyun to accompany them home as well as to school the following day, though Yunyun went back with Megumin anyways.
(In the anime, the girls were instead attacked by a Gargoyle, prompting a panicked Funifura to flee alongside her teammates, Megumin's team as well as Nerimaki. They were subsequently rescued by Bukkororii after jumping over the pit he had gotten himself trapped in, though his ensuing stalker antics disgusted Funifura so much she joined the other girls into abandoning him. Funifura and the other girls later reached a hill overlooking the village, before witnessing it being destroyed along with the Gargoyles swarming it by the overzealous school faculty and some other villagers, who then had to rebuild it overnight)

Following some more weeks of school (where in the anime she and other classmates buried Bukkororii in books after he Teleported into the library they were studying at and began listing how he stalked Soketto), Funifura asked Yunyun for money so she can buy medicine needed by her brother who had fallen ill, something the loner indeed hand her on the following morning. Funifura and Dodonko though barely had time to celebrate their success before Megumin walked up and called them out for taking advantage of Yunyun's loneliness, then heard her promise to come up with the medicine. After the day of classes, one of which taught magic item creation and involved Megumin mercilessly killing a cute Duxion, Funifura who nicknamed her "Duxion Slayer" was called out alongside Dodonko to the back of the school, where Megumin handed her the vial of medicine for her brother that she had made during class. They accordingly complied with Megumin's demand to return Yunyun's money, and were warned not to exploit Yunyun like that again, though upon them teasing Megumin over her loving relationship with Yunyun, the pair got beaten up. Funifura anyhow went back to use the medicine, which indeed cured her brother.

At some point during the period, Funifura on a day without school went to play badminton with Dodonko, but after running into a lonely Yunyun on the way, the three of them as well as Arue and Megumin who suddenly popped out all played together.

Journey to Axel Arc

When Yunyun invited some classmates to her home for Megumin's farewell party, Funifura was one of those who attended, and gifted Megumin with a magic rod fashioned by her father using the magical wood she and Dodonko had gathered out of gratitude for the medicine. She also joined Dodonko and Arue at the village's teleportation station the following day to see Megumin off on her way to Arcanletia (whereas in the anime, Funifura only bid farewell to Megumin at the station, and gifted her the magic rod there).

Mid Spring Arc

While the village was being rebuilt from the destruction wrought by Sylvia, she and Dodonko ran into Megumin and Yunyun, the former of whom had during the battle revealed herself as one who wielded Explosion Magic and now clobbered the pair for teasing her over it. The two of them next praised an embarrassed Yunyun over the Crimson Demon style introduction she had made when facing off against Sylvia, though upon Megumin declaring Kazuma to be her boyfriend with whom she performed intimate acts, they both ran off weeping in jealousy.

(In the anime, Funifura partnered with Dodonko and Arue to welcome Megumin and Yunyun's return to the village as they were taking Kazuma's party on a tour of Red Prison. She later joined the other villagers in evacuation during Sylvia's razing of the village, but while participating in the villagers' counterattack alongside Dodonko, found her magic nullified by the Ancient Dispel function of the Mage-Killer. Cornered by Goblin soldiers working for the Devil King's Army, they were saved when Yunyun dropped a landslide atop the monsters, following which Funifura let Wiz drain her magical powers so she could empower Megumin and Yunyun' final attack)

Cursed Relic Arc

Upon Yunyun's return to the village less than a month since Sylvia's attack to ask around about a small metallic slate, Funifura under the influence of Arue agreed to help out after Kazuma's party also arrived, though she was shocked to hear of them all Level Drained of their levels and skills, and was unable to find any clues by the end of the day. Later as the party, having successfully retrieved the metallic slate, prepared to head back for Axel, Funifura declared that she would be joining in their journey.

When a giant Wallavy marched onto Axel, Funifura also participated in its defence, and upon Megumin discovering that Wallavy could be melted by intense heat, became one of the mages who blasted fire magic at it.

At some point during the period, Funifura confided to Kazuma her concerns that her little brother may prefer Megumin over her as his older sister, and asked him to introduce her some older sister-esqe people in town who could give her advice. Funifura was accordingly brought to Wiz whose personality she found unreliable, and next to Luna, who despite being quite older sister-ish was so uptight on her work that she herself needed comforting and therefore wasn't a good fit. Subsequently brought to see Darkness, who regardless of being the eldest of Kazuma's party isn't of the older sister type, Funifura afterwards spent a lot of money for Aqua's drinks to get her advice, only to hear the Archpriest sprout out impractical experience about treating all mortals as little brothers. Funifura was eventually confronted by Megumin who is the older sister of Komekko, and attempting to ignore her without success, got inspired by Kazuma and Megumin's bickering with the idea of becoming an older sister whom the little brother feels the need to take care of. Taking down these points in her notes, Funifura decided to continue observing Kazuma for a while so she could become the ideal older sister after going back to the village.

Following many adventures and battles alongside Kazuma, Funifura joined him in defending Axel from the attack of a supergiant Wallavy, in which she started off by cooperating with Yunyun and Arue alongside other mages to slow the oversized Slime's advance down through magic while Kazuma and the others fought it. Then after the whole team rejoined, Funifura proceeded to battle the mutated Wallavy and hold it in place, before helping to sweep away Wallavy's multiple smaller clones so that Kazuma and Aqua could go destroy its core. Several days later, when all the adventurers who had fought in the battle were drinking at the Guild in celebration, Funifura enjoyed the delicious warabi mochi Aqua had cut out from Wallavy.
