Fami

"Any human should be capable of abandoning their morality when they're starving. I'll create the right stage for you."

Fami (キガ) is the Famine Devil (の) which embodies the fear of famine and starvation. She is a member of the Four Horsemen. Fami poses as a student at Fourth East High School, where she is a member of the Devil Hunter Club. She is a major supporting character in the Academy Saga and the overarching antagonist of the Falling Devil arc.

Appearance
Fami takes on the appearance of a young woman who wears a high school uniform and a black cap from the Devil Hunter Club. She is tall, has grayish mountbatten pink colored neck-length hair, and has several moles on her face. Similar to the other Horsemen, she has piercing, multiple-ringed eyes. On a colored manga cover her eyes are shown to be pink. Her ears feature four earrings, two of which are beads on her right and the other two are unusually long and have a triangular shape at the end.

Personality
Fami has a very mysterious personality and shows little outward emotion. She is always calm, cold, and composed and also seems to be very good at reading others, as she accurately describes both Asa's and Denji's characters. Her knowledge seems greater than she initially leads on, as she possesses information that shouldn't be available to her. Fami doesn't care if someone discovers her true identity and therefore puts little to no effort into her alias. What's more is that she doesn't necessarily seem to be as outwardly malicious as her brethren, even informing Public Safety officials such as Yoshida about more dangerous Devils, albeit after being threatened first. Despite being intelligent, she underestimates people, believing that Asa, like most people, would be willing to do anything to survive if forced to, which gets proven wrong.

Fami is more than willing to sacrifice people for her goals. For example, she traps Asa and her fellow club members in an aquarium, knowing that they will starve and suffer, and tries to turn Yoru into a slave so she can use her as a weapon against the apocalypse. To achieve the latter, she unleashes the Falling Devil on Earth, which not only causes high casualties and worldwide destruction but also ends up not working, making the deaths meaningless. Later, Fami also condemns hundreds of thousands of civilians to lose their minds under the influence of the Fire Devil so that her plans come to fruition.

Much like her late sister Makima, she is a schemer who repeatedly manipulates events behind the scene, though her schemes are prone to flaws. Currently, she is the secret leader of the Chainsaw Man Church, which she claimed to use to eradicate the devils in Tokyo in order to enable Denji to live a peaceful life and separate him from Pochita, whom Fami claimed she would hand over to Yoru to kill. Despite Haruka being the face of said organization, Fami refuses to reveal to him the full extent of her plans and tells him he doesn't need to think. She tells different things to different people, even lying in order to convince them to cooperate with her.

While she doesn't hesitate to try to force Asa into partaking in her plans, she is quite polite to her. Fami also seems affectionate towards Yoru, saying that she would do anything for her "little sister." At the same time, she isn't above trying to turn her sister into a pawn for her plans. Despite Fami's affection for Yoru, the War Devil does not reciprocate those feelings and describes her as insane and someone Asa should stay away from. As shown, it's implied that Fami has a similar relationship with the other Four Horsemen, as seen when the current Control Devil calls her sister.

According to Nayuta, who shares a close bond with Fami due to their sisterhood, Fami's actual plan is to stop the apocalypse by killing the Death Devil, which she aims to achieve by making Chainsaw Man and the War Devil more feared and, therefore more powerful. This goes against the wishes of Asa (who has feelings for Chainsaw Man and wants him to become human again), Yoru (who wants to kill Chainsaw Man), and Yoshida (who wants Denji never to transform into a devil again), showing that Fami is perfectly willing to betray those she cooperates with.

Befitting her status as the Famine Devil, Fami is also a major glutton, frequently ordering inhuman levels of food to consume in a single setting. She wants to prevent the extinction of humanity and the resulting age of Devils, since that would also mean the end of her favorite foods, something she describes as "the worst scenario imaginable." Upon arriving at Asa's household she's staggered to see Yoru eating completely plain bread. She then eats it herself but with strawberry jam, showcasing her taste is more sophisticated than her sister's.

Abilities
As a Devil, Fami possesses all of the standard Devil abilities. While her powers and their extent are still unclear, she seems to be able to influence the power of Devils in some way. She was able to temporarily separate Yoru from Asa, leaving Asa, her power to turn people and objects into weapons and communicate with her at a distance despite her being trapped in another Devil's pocket dimension.

Supernatural Abilities

 * Enhancing Healing: Fami has shown the ability to heal others, causing the healed person to gain great strength and size. This ability was used on Yuko after she was fatally injured by Asa Mitaka's weapon.
 * Enslavement: As Fami embodies the fear of famine or starvation, her ability reflects this nature. She is able to turn the "hungry" (飢えた者) into her "pawns" (駒) to do her bidding, and this ability is shown to work even on a "Primal Fear" Devil. Fami can turn those whom she put under her control into miniature figurines of themselves to transport them easily.
 * Falling Devil: One of the Devils that Fami has successfully enslaved is the Primal Fear, Falling Devil. Fami seemed to enjoy total obedience from the Falling Devil despite her own immense power.
 * Teleportation: Fami can seemingly appear anywhere she chooses at any moment. She snapped her fingers to teleport out of the aquarium and later suddenly appeared next to Yoru and Asa who noted that the door was locked so there was no way she could have gotten in.

Trivia

 * Fami's name is written entirely in katakana (キガ), showcasing no semantic meanings. However, her name is a play on the number of syllables of the word famine to the amount of mora the Hepburn romanization "kiga" has.
 * Fami's earrings are a reference to the Horseman of Famine's depiction in the Book of Revelation, where he is depicted holding scales for weighing food. Famine is also sometimes interpreted as the "Lord as a Law-Giver".
 * Both Famine and Justice are often represented by scales, which can be connected to how Asa originally speculated that Fami was the Justice Devil.
 * Fami's head is nearly always tilted to her left (like an unbalanced scale)
 * Like with Santa Claus, Fujimoto likely gave Fami numeral facial moles because he finds that the more moles a character has, the better they look.
 * In Japanese, the word "kiga" has the same homophone as the Japanese word for "penguin". So, in the Japanese language, there was meant to be a double comedic effect of how Denji wanted to see penguins and Kiga appears shortly after.
