Furan Takaki (高貴 楓蘭 Takaki Furan) is one of the supporting characters of the Maken-Ki! series. She is the President of the Student Council Security Division and a senior at Tenbi Academy who has a condition called androphobia (a fear of men) due to previous traumatic experiences.
Appearance[]
Furan is a teenage girl of average height (160 cm) with orange-blonde hair, with a ring-shaped braid hanging from the back of her head in a bun, where the braid meets her head, with bangs hanging over the left side of her head, dark pink eyes, and red-framed glasses.
When sniping with or without her maken, she removes her glasses (this implies that Furan is farsighted and thus can shoot better at long distances without her glasses, though it is never stated). When using Habaya, her hair seems to come free from its braid that reaches down to her waist.
She normally wears the standard Tenbi uniform, but her most classic feature is her panties, which are always printed with different animals, especially teddy bears.
Personality[]

When it comes to the person who follows the rules and enforces them, it's Furan. She's relatively strict, as she's aware of her position as the head of Maken-ki and therefore the role model for her subordinates. However, she tends to feel extremely embarrassed when dealing with an embarrassing topic, especially when someone looks at her underwear.
She is shy around boys and even claims to dislike men. Otohime Yamato reveals that her fear of men is because, as an advanced talent, she was chosen by Kamigari, but after coming across as too proud in her refusal, she was taken as one of Ouken's mistresses and Yuuka Amado was ravished in place of her. This traumatic experience caused Furan to become severely androphobic (a fear of men), with her hating and being afraid of them.
