Nadeshiko Fujisaki (藤咲なでしこ, Fujisaki Nadeshiko) is the female ego of Nagihiko Fujisaki.

Nadeshiko the former Queen's Chair of the Guardians. When Amu rejected the offer to join the Guardians, Nadeshiko tried several tactics to convince Amu to join. The two eventually become best friends and Nadeshiko looks over and supports Amu in her love life.

The reason that Nagihiko has a female ego is because in the Fujisaki family, boys must cross dress as girls in order for them to learn how to dance. Amu has seen Nadeshiko dance for practice, but has only seen her real performance once. As Nadeshiko, "she" can pull off as a girl because Nadeshiko had been in the disguise for a long period of time. Tadase, Kukai, Rima and their Guardian Characters are the only people who know Nadeshiko's gender secret. He has skipped swimming classes, as said in Chapter 8 of the manga, so that his/her identity is more easily protected because of the swimsuit.

Nadeshiko practices the art of Japanese dance due to her mother being a teacher. The only times that she has been seen dancing is in Shugo Chara! Episode 9 and Shugo Chara Doki! Episode 7. She has also made an official performance once, and has practiced in front of Amu before (danced with Amu). She also seems to excel in domestic skills.

But whenever there are bugs or other insects present, or if something goes off, she can be very tempered and actually forces others to finish what has started. Prior to Nadeshiko's return from Europe, she went back to her egg to sleep, the fact that Nadeshiko has problems about her gender.
