Fu (Japanese: フ Fu) is a Persian, and a self-proclaimed Pokémon leader. Like Team Rocket's Meowth, she can speak the language of humans, though rarely does so.
In the games
Fu can be found in Pearl as a roaming team.

Although Fu does not participate in battles, she knows the moves Bite, Hypnosis, Power Gem and Aerial Ace.
She may give out Pokémon eggs randomly. These Pokémon often have egg moves that require a lot of leveling and breeding to produce - a Shinx with Ice Fang, or a Natu with Refresh, for example.
In humanity
Fu, or less commonly Ciele Fu, is an 18 year old English female with too much time and imagination on her hands. Her name comes from a shortening of the Japanese name Fuyuko (winter child) and the Old English for "chilly", another cold reference and similar to names she often chose for roleplaying. She is not particularly fond of her given name and uses many pseudonyms online and offline, generally for her own amusement.
Pokémon
Fu was introduced to Pokémon Red and Blue when she was ten and was instantly hooked, but with lack of a Game Boy, when she wasn't stealing other people's Game Boys she served as the advisor to several people - helping them through Rock Tunnel or Seafoam Cave, or checking movesets. She still isn't quite sure how she knew this.
However, with the money from her 12th birthday, she bought a Game Boy Color and Pokémon Silver. She lost this three weeks later. Because of her fondness for her first game, she adamantly supports a Gold/Silver remake.
She continued playing games from all generations upon the discovery of VisualBoyAdvance in her early teens - around the time Ruby and Sapphire were released in Japan. During this time she learnt the tricks to playing Pokémon competitively - natures, EVs - though, using an emulator (and not knowing about NetBattle) she was never able to utilise her knowledge, until late 2006 when her father came into the possession of a lost, unclaimed DS. It didn't take long for her to buy Emerald and get deeply addicted, eventually buying Pokémon Pearl on the UK release date, despite being on a family holiday at the time. She intends to buy FireRed when she has the money to spare.
- She prefers to use UU Pokémon in her teams, though a few OU slip in due to fondness of the Pokémon rather than its stats.
- Fu does not watch the anime. Only occasionally will she find clips on Youtube that interest her.
Her friend code will have to wait until she has a WiFi connection.
Reality
Fu is quiet but confident, intelligent but simple minded, logical but spiritual, and generally a bit of a contradiction. She's bisexual and mated for life. She's a NeoPagan, stealing beliefs and systems from Wicca, Traditional Witchcraft, Shinto, Qabala and Chaos Magick.
