Mrs. Fanshi (The Forgotten)

"My dear, don‘t you have any manners?"

- "Mrs. Fanshi, upon meeting Ledas for the first time"

Mrs. Fanshi (ふぁんし真里子 Fanshi Mariko) is a in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. She is featured in in the fourth saga and is introduced in the chapter, "The Orphan".

Appearance
Mrs. Fanshi is a human. She has the look of a normal, older woman. She is 57 years old. Her hair is a brownish-silver. Her eyes are brown. She wears old lady clothes, mostly. She is extremely neat, and expects Ledas to be as well.

Personality
Mrs. Fanshi is rather cold and traditional. Her personality can be inconsisent at times, however. As can be seen, her initial interest in Ledas almost immediately wanes and turns to annoyance at his school behavior. But, it could still be said that she never grew fully weary of him while he lived with her.

History
From her introduction to her death, Mrs. Fanshi never had a major role in The Forgotten. She was introduced in the Planet Earth Saga, early on, as the person who took Ledas in. She did this, simply, because she thought he was an orphan. Later on in the story, she enrolled Ledas into school to give him a proper education; however, she never fully understood that Ledas was not human, or even gaining anything from this "human school". Indeed, throughout the rest of her airtime, Mrs. Fanshi never had any inclination that Ledas was an alien. Later on in the Planet Earth Saga finale, Mrs. Fanshi was accidently killed by one of Cardinal's cronies, Dewberry.
