[[caption-width-right:300:''The Heir to the Jeweled Bloodline'']]
An AlternateSelf to the Rin Tohsaka from ''VideoGame/FateExtra''.
\\
\\
Born into the era in which magecraft had entered into a state of decline, and had gone from an art to digital hacking, Rin wanted nothing more than to achieve her family's wish of reaching the Root. However, those plans had changed when the Harwey family had expressed an interest in utilizing the power of the Moon Cell for their own gain and ideals. This led to her joining a resistance movement and transferred herself to the Moon Cell, where she, like her ancestor, would participate in the Holy Grail War.
\\
\\
By pure chance, she met and befriended the cyber ghost that was Hakuno Kishinami. Though adversaries, she had imparted all that she could to help him. When it came time for him to decide who he would do battle with, he had sided with her. Together, they achieved victory and obtained the Moon Cell.
\\
\\
However, not all things had gone according to plan. The appearance of a great threat, one capable of traversing dimensions, has consumed her world and attempts to do the same, all for the sake of obtaining the Moon Cell. Now, Rin leads her own resistance against this threat, aided by other Masters who were saved by a "Hakuno Kishinami."
\\
\\
She is the Master of the Lancer-class Servant, Cu Chulainn.
----
* ActionGirl: Well, ''duh''. Have you met Rin? She is not a Spirit Hacker or Master for nothing. [[spoiler:Sadly, she's forced to the sidelines when Kiara begins her assault on LINK VRAINS, as her deck is not yet complete. She's naturally pissed, but does her best to provide MissionControl.]]
* BackToBackBadasses: In her world, she and a male Hakuno Kishinami had won the Moon Cell Holy Grail War, making them the victors and likely inheritors of the Regalia. Unfortunately for them, Kiara came into the picture...
* DumbBlonde: ''{{Defied}}''! She is extraordinarily gifted, being a descendant from the original red devil and the leader of her own resistance movement. Hakuno also regards her as one of the best Spirit Hackers in the world.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde hair, and she's willing to traverse to different worlds to fight back against Kiara.
* HeroicLineage: Her ancestor is the original Rin Tohsaka from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* InfoDump: She informs Hakuno about the existence of Kiara, who has been traversing different dimensions in the hopes of consuming their Moon Cells, and that she leads her own resistance movement in the hopes of defeating her.
* TheLeader: She is the leader behind the makeshift resistance movement, consisting of AlternateSelf's from different worlds, each of whom had a bond with their respective Hakunos.
* RedIsHeroic: She wears a sleeveless red shirt, a variation of her typical attire.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Whenever Kiara damages a world beyond repair, Rin opts to utilize a Kaleid Slide, the Moon Cell's version of Second Magic and transfer her group to a different world, or a Quantum Slide and enter a different timeline. She advocates for this when Zepar has merged reality and LINK VRAINS to the point where it can no longer be salvaged and take the survivors with them. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Hakuno isn't having any of it, however.]]]]

[[caption-width-right:239:''The Child Gaming Champion'']]
An AlternateSelf to the Shinji Matou from ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' and ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
\\
\\
A designer child of the Makiri Family, Shinji was both a gifted Spirit Hacker and a gaming champion. At eight years old, he had caught wind of a grand competition called the "Holy Grail War." The prize? To have your ultimate wish granted. His competitive spirit was sparked that day and sought to obtain this so-called "Holy Grail."
\\
\\
That day, he received more than he bargained for. He had been forced to participate in a repeating war, where 108 individuals would kill each other until one was left. Somehow, through all of this, he had found a comrade in Hakuno Kishinami. They were adversaries, but at the same time, they were friends. Not too long ago, Hakuno Kishinami saved his life.
\\
\\
[[IOweYouMyLife And Shinji Matou will always repay his debts]].
\\
\\
He is the Master of the Rider-class Servant, Francis Drake.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's still an egotistical jerk, but he is ''leagues'' better than his counterpart from the mainline visual novel. He might as well be considered to be a different person altogether, especially since he treats Hakuno with respect.
* BerserkButton: Hurt Rider in any way, and you will find yourself understanding that pissing off a ''Master'' is a very bad idea. This seems to a common button among all Masters.
* CallBack: In ''Extra'', Shinji was Hakuno's opponent in the first week of the Holy Grail War. In the first round of the VRAINS International Tournament preliminaries, Shinji is Hakuno's opponent in the first round. Hakuno lampshades how nostalgic it feels.
* EnsembleDarkHorse: InUniverse, he is this. He apparently spends ''several'' hours, if not almost the entire day, in LINK VRAINS to the point where he has the highest log-in time of any player in the virtual world. And much of this time is devoted to playing Duel Monsters, hence why he outmatches Hakuno in their Duel.
* FriendlyEnemy: In the first preliminary round of the VRAINS International Tournament, where he faces off against Hakuno.
* IOweYouMyLife: In his world, Hakuno Kishinami saved his life from Kiara Sessyoin and he seeks to repay the favor.
* OhCrap: Has this reaction when he learns that BB is also in the world of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'', knowing full well what she can do.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Francis Drake, who he sees as a genuine friend and partner. He even considers himself to be part of her crew.
* {{Pirate}}: This is part of his deck's motif, matching with Francis Drake's own history of being a swashbuckler.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Downplayed. He seems mature for the most part, but he's still just an eight-year-old kid.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: His LINK VRAINS avatar is modeled after his appearance in the Moon Cell, when he's really just a child.

[[caption-width-right:330:''The Prince who Wields the Sun'']]
An AlternateSelf of the Leonardo Harwey who appeared in ''VideoGame/FateExtra''.
\\
\\
The heir to the prestigious Harwey household, and younger brother to Julius. Groomed by the Harwey family, he was meant to lead the world into a brighter future. The conglomerate would follow his lead as he would create a new world order, through the power of the Moon Cell.
\\
\\
However, as the Holy Grail War began, he encountered a mysterious person who had no history. No true desire, other than to survive in this battle. By all rights, this person should have lost and been eliminated. [[TheDeterminator And yet, by some intense desire and the iron-clad will to fight, they pushed forward]]. As the weeks went on, Leo could only express admiration and interest in this otherwise unordinary combatant.
\\
\\
Ironically, despite being groomed to be the leader of the world, Leo lacked something vital. And only through defeat at the hands of this person did Leo finally obtain what he was missing. With his goal achieved, all that's left is repay this favor.
\\
\\
He is the Master of the Saber-class Servant, Gawain.
----
* TheAce: He was described as being one of the strongest Masters in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War. As a testament to this feat, he was fought by Hakuno before her fated encounter with Twice H. Pierceman.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Julius' Cain. Whereas Julius is working with Kiara to get his revenge on Hakuno, even though she's not the same Hakuno from his world, Leo works with Rin to protect Hakuno and to defeat Kiara.
* CharacterDevelopment: It's implied he's from a world similar to the events of ''Fate/EXTRA CCC'', so he's already undergone this development.
* CovertPervert: When Nero flirts with Hakuno as they prepare to face [[spoiler:Kiara Sessyoin]], he becomes interested in seeing whether or not they'll be privileged with another Kiara Incident.
* CulturedBadass: Leo was raised to be the heir of the Harwey family, and the overall head of the plutocracy, thus no expense was spared in his training. He's regarded as one of the strongest Masters in the Grail War. He also appears to be well-versed in certain mythologies, as he explains the theme of his Magibullet deck -- which are based off the German Opera "Der Freischütz."
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Magibullet deck uses Fiend-Type monsters, though they're all LIGHT attribute.
* {{Foil}}: To Julius. His brother is working with Kiara Sessyoin under the pretense of getting revenge against Hakuno Kishinami, as they killed him in his world (despite the fact that the Hakuno we follow in the story is not the same one that killed him and is from a different world), while Leo is working with Rin to protect Hakuno, who in his world saved him, and is fighting against Kiara. Julius is a [[VengefulGhost Dead Face]] that hates the world and the living, while Leo [[spoiler:is a cyber ghost who has good relationships with his friends]].
** This even extends to their respective decks. Julius employs a fanfic-original deck called Ultramarine and Cracked Cell, the former of which is a DeathByAThousandCuts type, specializing in dealing damage to his opponents and even himself, whereas Leo uses an already established deck called "Magibullet", which locks down his opponent's moves.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He has blonde hair, and he works with Rin in their efforts to defeat Kiara and save Hakuno.
* LightEmUp: Employs the Magibullet deck, which composes almost entirely of LIGHT Monsters. Naturally, his ace is the wielder of the Holy Sword of the Sun.
* MoreDakka: Leo's Deck "Magibullet" features monsters who are almost always depicted using guns. Special mentions go to Magibullet Musketeer Wild, who has an assortment of rifles attached to his arms and rockets over his shoulders.
* RedIsHeroic: Wears a bright red uniform, and he's part of Rin's resistance movement against Kiara.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:He's revealed to be a cyber ghost, having died at Hakuno's hands in his world. He doesn't hold it against them, though.]]
* YouKilledMyFather: Leo makes it clear that [[spoiler:he knows full well that Julius was the one who killed his mother, but he doesn't show any active hatred towards his older brother]].

[[caption-width-right:350:''The Homunculus of Egypt'']]
One of Hakuno's major allies from ''VideoGame/FateExtra''.
\\
\\
A Homunculus from the Atlas Institute, Rani was created by Sialim Eltnam Re-Atlasia, to see whether or not it was possible for humans and alchemists to continue existing in the cyber world, even if it meant giving up their physical bodies.
\\
\\
At some point in time, Rani became affiliated with Hakuno Kishinami during the Moon Cell Holy Grail War, due to her interest in her peculiar existence. In Hakuno's world, she chose to protect Rani and fought against Rin, and as a result, Rani became even more infatuated with her.
\\
\\
The origins of this Rani VIII are unknown compared to the other Masters, but she serves as MissionControl with Rin.
\\
\\
She is the master of the Berserker-class Servant, Lu Bu.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: While she isn't developed in that ''particular'' area, Rani's shirt exposed a great deal of her chest and nearly reaches her naval.
* AlchemyIsMagic: She is an alchemist of the Atlas Institution, and practices astrology as well as spirit hacking.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear what world Rani hails from, as she never mentions the events of her world and only mentions that she has met many different Hakuno Kishinamis. [[spoiler:In "FATED BATTLE," it's implied that Rani is in fact the one from Hakuno's world]].
* ArtificialHuman: She is a homunculus, but she was created with human DNA.
* {{Astrologer}}: One of her practiced forms of magecraft.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has the same-colored purple hair and eyes.
* DeadpanSnarker: To an extent, but nowhere near as proficient in the art as Archer.
* EmotionlessGirl: Zigzagged. Being a homunculus, she can't really express very many emotions, but she can express what feelings she does know.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her stockings are different colors, and she ties part of her hair in a right-sidetail.
* {{Meganekko}}: Her glasses actually have scanner functions, and by god does she make them work.
* MissionControl: Rani takes over for Rin during the [[spoiler:Zepar crisis]] and helps Hakuno out [[spoiler:by trying to keep someone, actually Revolver, from hacking into her Duel Disk, believing that they are trying to sabotage her]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: ''Barely averted''. In her defense, she didn't know that [[spoiler:the hacker trying to hack into Hakuno's Duel Disk was actually Revolver, who is trying to change the duel into a two-on-one match between him and Hakuno against Kiara. If she had continued to block his attempts and didn't get distracted momentarily, chances are Hakuno would have lost her duel and Kiara would have gotten her hands on the Regalia]].

Born into the era in which magecraft had entered into a state of decline, and had gone from an art to digital hacking, Rin wanted nothing more than to achieve her family's wish of reaching the Root. However, those plans had changed when the Harwey family had expressed an interest in utilizing the power of the Moon Cell for their own gain and ideals. This led to her joining a resistance movement and transferred herself to the Moon Cell, where she, like her ancestor, would participate in the Holy Grail War.
\\
\\
By pure chance, she met and befriended the cyber ghost that was Hakuno Kishinami. Though adversaries, she had imparted all that she could to help him. When it came time for him to decide who he would do battle with, he had sided with her. Together, they achieved victory and obtained the Moon Cell.
\\
\\
However, not all things had gone according to plan. The appearance of a great threat, one capable of traversing dimensions, has consumed her world and attempts to do the same, all for the sake of obtaining the Moon Cell. Now, Rin leads her own resistance against this threat, aided by other Masters who were saved by a "Hakuno Kishinami."
\\
\\
She is the Master of the Lancer-class Servant, Cu Chulainn.
----
* ActionGirl: Well, ''duh''. Have you met Rin? She is not a Spirit Hacker or Master for nothing. [[spoiler:Sadly, she's forced to the sidelines when Kiara begins her assault on LINK VRAINS, as her deck is not yet complete. She's naturally pissed, but does her best to provide MissionControl.]]
* BackToBackBadasses: In her world, she and a male Hakuno Kishinami had won the Moon Cell Holy Grail War, making them the victors and likely inheritors of the Regalia. Unfortunately for them, Kiara came into the picture...
* DumbBlonde: ''{{Defied}}''! She is extraordinarily gifted, being a descendant from the original red devil and the leader of her own resistance movement. Hakuno also regards her as one of the best Spirit Hackers in the world.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde hair, and she's willing to traverse to different worlds to fight back against Kiara.
* HeroicLineage: Her ancestor is the original Rin Tohsaka from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* InfoDump: She informs Hakuno about the existence of Kiara, who has been traversing different dimensions in the hopes of consuming their Moon Cells, and that she leads her own resistance movement in the hopes of defeating her.
* TheLeader: She is the leader behind the makeshift resistance movement, consisting of AlternateSelf's from different worlds, each of whom had a bond with their respective Hakunos.
* RedIsHeroic: She wears a sleeveless red shirt, a variation of her typical attire.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Whenever Kiara damages a world beyond repair, Rin opts to utilize a Kaleid Slide, the Moon Cell's version of Second Magic and transfer her group to a different world, or a Quantum Slide and enter a different timeline. She advocates for this when Zepar has merged reality and LINK VRAINS to the point where it can no longer be salvaged and take the survivors with them. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Hakuno isn't having any of it, however.]]]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Wouldn't be Rin if she wasn't. [[BerserkButton Just don't ever think or call her that where she can hear you]].

!!Shinji Matou
[[quoteright:239:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_inline_odnzhivdwo1rpjv75_400.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:239:''The Child Gaming Champion'']]
An AlternateSelf to the Shinji Matou from ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' and ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
\\
\\
A designer child of the Makiri Family, Shinji was both a gifted Spirit Hacker and a gaming champion. At eight years old, he had caught wind of a grand competition called the "Holy Grail War." The prize? To have your ultimate wish granted. His competitive spirit was sparked that day and sought to obtain this so-called "Holy Grail."
\\
\\
That day, he received more than he bargained for. He had been forced to participate in a repeating war, where 108 individuals would kill each other until one was left. Somehow, through all of this, he had found a comrade in Hakuno Kishinami. They were adversaries, but at the same time, they were friends. Not too long ago, Hakuno Kishinami saved his life.
\\
\\
[[IOweYouMyLife And Shinji Matou will always repay his debts]].
\\
\\
He is the Master of the Rider-class Servant, Francis Drake.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's still an egotistical jerk, but he is ''leagues'' better than his counterpart from the mainline visual novel. He might as well be considered to be a different person altogether, especially since he treats Hakuno with respect.
* BerserkButton: Hurt Rider in any way, and you will find yourself understanding that pissing off a ''Master'' is a very bad idea. This seems to a common button among all Masters.
* CallBack: In ''Extra'', Shinji was Hakuno's opponent in the first week of the Holy Grail War. In the first round of the VRAINS International Tournament preliminaries, Shinji is Hakuno's opponent in the first round. Hakuno lampshades how nostalgic it feels.
* EnsembleDarkHorse: InUniverse, he is this. He apparently spends ''several'' hours, if not almost the entire day, in LINK VRAINS to the point where he has the highest log-in time of any player in the virtual world. And much of this time is devoted to playing Duel Monsters, hence why he outmatches Hakuno in their Duel.
* FriendlyEnemy: In the first preliminary round of the VRAINS International Tournament, where he faces off against Hakuno.
* IOweYouMyLife: In his world, Hakuno Kishinami saved his life from Kiara Sessyoin and he seeks to repay the favor.
* OhCrap: Has this reaction when he learns that BB is also in the world of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'', knowing full well what she can do.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Francis Drake, who he sees as a genuine friend and partner. He even considers himself to be part of her crew.
* {{Pirate}}: This is part of his deck's motif, matching with Francis Drake's own history of being a swashbuckler.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Downplayed. He seems mature for the most part, but he's still just an eight-year-old kid.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: His LINK VRAINS avatar is modeled after his appearance in the Moon Cell, when he's really just a child.

[[folder:Leonardo B. Harwey]]
!!Leo Harwey
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leo_and_gawien_illustration.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:330:''The Prince who Wields the Sun'']]
An AlternateSelf of the Leonardo Harwey who appeared in ''VideoGame/FateExtra''.
\\
\\
The heir to the prestigious Harwey household, and younger brother to Julius. Groomed by the Harwey family, he was meant to lead the world into a brighter future. The conglomerate would follow his lead as he would create a new world order, through the power of the Moon Cell.
\\
\\
However, as the Holy Grail War began, he encountered a mysterious person who had no history. No true desire, other than to survive in this battle. By all rights, this person should have lost and been eliminated. [[TheDeterminator And yet, by some intense desire and the iron-clad will to fight, they pushed forward]]. As the weeks went on, Leo could only express admiration and interest in this otherwise unordinary combatant.
\\
\\
Ironically, despite being groomed to be the leader of the world, Leo lacked something vital. And only through defeat at the hands of this person did Leo finally obtain what he was missing. With his goal achieved, all that's left is repay this favor.
\\
\\
He is the Master of the Saber-class Servant, Gawain.
----
* TheAce: He was described as being one of the strongest Masters in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War. As a testament to this feat, he was fought by Hakuno before her fated encounter with Twice H. Pierceman.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Julius' Cain. Whereas Julius is working with Kiara to get his revenge on Hakuno, even though she's not the same Hakuno from his world, Leo works with Rin to protect Hakuno and to defeat Kiara.
* CharacterDevelopment: It's implied he's from a world similar to the events of ''Fate/EXTRA CCC'', so he's already undergone this development.
* CovertPervert: When Nero flirts with Hakuno as they prepare to face [[spoiler:Kiara Sessyoin]], he becomes interested in seeing whether or not they'll be privileged with another Kiara Incident.
* CulturedBadass: Leo was raised to be the heir of the Harwey family, and the overall head of the plutocracy, thus no expense was spared in his training. He's regarded as one of the strongest Masters in the Grail War. He also appears to be well-versed in certain mythologies, as he explains the theme of his Magibullet deck -- which are based off the German Opera "Der Freischütz."
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Magibullet deck uses Fiend-Type monsters, though they're all LIGHT attribute.
* {{Foil}}: To Julius. His brother is working with Kiara Sessyoin under the pretense of getting revenge against Hakuno Kishinami, as they killed him in his world (despite the fact that the Hakuno we follow in the story is not the same one that killed him and is from a different world), while Leo is working with Rin to protect Hakuno, who in his world saved him, and is fighting against Kiara. Julius is a [[VengefulGhost Dead Face]] that hates the world and the living, while Leo [[spoiler:is a cyber ghost who has good relationships with his friends]].
** This even extends to their respective decks. Julius employs a fanfic-original deck called Ultramarine and Cracked Cell, the former of which is a DeathByAThousandCuts type, specializing in dealing damage to his opponents and even himself, whereas Leo uses an already established deck called "Magibullet", which locks down his opponent's moves.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He has blonde hair, and he works with Rin in their efforts to defeat Kiara and save Hakuno.
* LightEmUp: Employs the Magibullet deck, which composes almost entirely of LIGHT Monsters. Naturally, his ace is the wielder of the Holy Sword of the Sun.
* MoreDakka: Leo's Deck "Magibullet" features monsters who are almost always depicted using guns. Special mentions go to Magibullet Musketeer Wild, who has an assortment of rifles attached to his arms and rockets over his shoulders.
* RedIsHeroic: Wears a bright red uniform, and he's part of Rin's resistance movement against Kiara.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:He's revealed to be a cyber ghost, having died at Hakuno's hands in his world. He doesn't hold it against them, though.]]
* YouKilledMyFather: Leo makes it clear that [[spoiler:he knows full well that Julius was the one who killed his mother, but he doesn't show any active hatred towards his older brother]].

[[folder:Rani VIII]]
!!Rani VIII
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rani_0.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''The Homunculus of Egypt'']]
One of Hakuno's major allies from ''VideoGame/FateExtra''.
\\
\\
A Homunculus from the Atlas Institute, Rani was created by Sialim Eltnam Re-Atlasia, to see whether or not it was possible for humans and alchemists to continue existing in the cyber world, even if it meant giving up their physical bodies.
\\
\\
At some point in time, Rani became affiliated with Hakuno Kishinami during the Moon Cell Holy Grail War, due to her interest in her peculiar existence. In Hakuno's world, she chose to protect Rani and fought against Rin, and as a result, Rani became even more infatuated with her.
\\
\\
The origins of this Rani VIII are unknown compared to the other Masters, but she serves as MissionControl with Rin.
\\
\\
She is the master of the Berserker-class Servant, Lu Bu.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: While she isn't developed in that ''particular'' area, Rani's shirt exposed a great deal of her chest and nearly reaches her naval.
* AlchemyIsMagic: She is an alchemist of the Atlas Institution, and practices astrology as well as spirit hacking.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear what world Rani hails from, as she never mentions the events of her world and only mentions that she has met many different Hakuno Kishinamis. [[spoiler:In "FATED BATTLE," it's implied that Rani is in fact the one from Hakuno's world]].
* ArtificialHuman: She is a homunculus, but she was created with human DNA.
* {{Astrologer}}: One of her practiced forms of magecraft.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has the same-colored purple hair and eyes.
* DeadpanSnarker: To an extent, but nowhere near as proficient in the art as Archer.
* EmotionlessGirl: Zigzagged. Being a homunculus, she can't really express very many emotions, but she can express what feelings she does know.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her stockings are different colors, and she ties part of her hair in a right-sidetail.
* {{Meganekko}}: Her glasses actually have scanner functions, and by god does she make them work.
* MissionControl: Rani takes over for Rin during the [[spoiler:Zepar crisis]] and helps Hakuno out [[spoiler:by trying to keep someone, actually Revolver, from hacking into her Duel Disk, believing that they are trying to sabotage her]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: ''Barely averted''. In her defense, she didn't know that [[spoiler:the hacker trying to hack into Hakuno's Duel Disk was actually Revolver, who is trying to change the duel into a two-on-one match between him and Hakuno against Kiara. If she had continued to block his attempts and didn't get distracted momentarily, chances are Hakuno would have lost her duel and Kiara would have gotten her hands on the Regalia]].
