!!Masters
[[folder:Protagonist (CanonName: Hakuno Kishinami)]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AtsushiAbe (M)(Drama CD/Anime), Creator/YuiIshikawa (F) (Anime) (Japanese), Creator/BillyKametz (M, Anime), Creator/RyanBartley (F, Anime) (English), Miguel Angel Ruiz (M) (Latin American Spanish, Anime), Susana Moreno (F) (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hakuno_5543.png]]

The PlayerCharacter of the game, who can be either male or female. He/she begins as a generic student at Tsukumihara Academy, but soon realises that they have no memories of their true identity. After becoming one of the 128 participants in the Holy Grail War, they can choose a Servant of the Saber, Archer or Caster class. They are known as "Hakuno Kishinami" (male in the Manga, [[Anime/FateExtraLastEncore Anime]], and the drama CD) (In addition both genders are equally featured in promotional and side materials).

----
* AdaptationalNameChange: Unlike manga and drama CD adaptations where Hakuno Kishinami's name is 岸波白野 in Kanji, Hakuno Kishinami's name in the anime is 岸浪ハクノ with a completely different first name and altered last name. [[spoiler:This is {{Foreshadowing}} the fact that the audience has been following a copy of the original Hakuno and the real Hakuno has already died as seen in the first episode.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the game, Hakuno is characterized as being fairly... well, plain - due in large part to TheReveal [[spoiler:that they were an NPC given a human will]], and their character arc is them becoming more emotional. In the anime, Hakuno starts off as aloof and distant, being filled with hatred for the Moon Cell and the way the system is run.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified.]] [[spoiler:Hakuno is not the true Hakuno of the anime, but an anthropomorphic personification of the hatred of all the masters who died in the Moon Cell and his appearance was based on one of them, the original Hakuno herself.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: To either [[spoiler:Rani or Rin]] at the start of the fourth chapter.
* BreakThemByTalking: A heroic example. In CCC, the Sentinels are obstructing the path to the bottom of Sakura Labyrinth with figurative and literal wall of ‘hearts’. To destroy that wall and proceed, the protagonist must gain access to the Secret Garden, essentially everything the Sentinels hides behind their ‘walls’ and bring those secrets into the open before the Punishment Time gives the final push to destroy the wall. More often than not, Punishment Time has the protagonist hurling insults at the respective Sentinels, [[WarriorTherapist all so they can make peace with those flaws]]. [[spoiler:Though against the Alter Egos, who are made of pure personalities, the Punishment Time is unambiguously fatal.]]
* CanonName: The official material, manga, anime, and drama CD names them "Hakuno Kishinami."
* ChekhovsGunman: Take a good look at the students in the back of the classroom during the prologue cutscenes.
* ChickMagnet: For being as average as they are, they do pretty well for themselves, regardless of gender. The protagonist even wins the affections of both Aozaki sisters.
* ClassicAntiHero: Mediocre in almost every aspect apart from their dogged refusal to just roll over and die, Hakuno winds up killing other Masters with grander ambitions and characters than theirs simply because they want to live. Ultimately, it's only when they discover that [[spoiler:they were never alive in the first place]], that they relinquish their fear and initiate actions that have shades of true heroism.
* CloningBlues:
** [[spoiler:Quickly lifted out of this by their Servant, who tells them that as Magical Constructs themselves, they view them as people.]]
** [[spoiler:A possible case near the end of the CCC Route. As the [[AllThereInTheManual CCC]] Dictionary implies that there might be another version of them that exists, which will continue on through the events of ''EXTRA'', the originals still remain frozen, and Sakura gave the one from the CCC Route a new body to use.]]
** [[spoiler:In the anime Hakuno learns he's not even based on a person but is just the hatred of all the masters killed by Twice given form, he nearly gives on the war disgusted by his existence.]]
* CovertPervert: The narration during the scene in which Caster chastises the protagonist for letting her take more than 300k damage implies the reason the protagonist allowed Caster to take that much damage is due to wanting to hear [[OrgasmicCombat her yelps]]. Their reaction when they check Rin or Rani fixing their Servants’ magic circuit and heard that Kiara and Sakura need to get naked to install the program is to take a peek, all while playing it off as concern.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair and brown eyes.
* {{Determinator}}:
** First seen when they refuse to accept their death during the prelims. That's the reason why their Servants answer their call.
--->'''Talent''': Mental fortitude (Male), Never giving up (Female)
** Also in ''Fate/EXTRA CCC'', in the later chapters, things starts to get grimmer and darker when the protagonist is trapped in this dark realm by [[spoiler:BB]]. But, he/she keeps crawling for a way out despite voices telling him/her to give up. Later, as the protagonist continues onward to the place where [[spoiler:his/her Servant was sealed by BB]], they keep on going despite being nearly [[spoiler:disintegrated]] along the way.
---> *[[spoiler:The deletion reacting up to their chest]]* ''It seems [[spoiler:my stomach has completely vanished]], (...) That’s great; my body feels lighter, I should be able to walk faster now.''
* DistractedByTheSexy: Their reaction to [[MarshmallowHell getting smothered by Kiara]];
-->''Beautiful flesh, is the phrase that comes into my mind. It’s like when a carnivorous beast comes upon fresh meat, meat that makes its deliciousness known to all five senses, and the beast rejoices. It seems that there exists in this world flesh that can do much the same thing, flooding all the senses with nothing but its beauty.''
-->''But — even so… Why am I finding it so hard to breathe?''
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Averted. While you do get no respect in the beginning from most of the other Masters, as you take down more and more of some of the best Masters in the War, they certainly start respecting your skills. [[spoiler:The BigBad even calls you the most extraordinary Master of all. And by the end of CCC,'' '''Gilgamesh''' ''acknowledges you as a Master.]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: The protagonist is a hit with the ladies no matter what their gender.
* FirstPersonSmartass: At times.
-->''Rin goes from comatose to bitch in three seconds flat.''
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the localized version, during the first day of the war, a fellow Master refers to you as ''[[spoiler:"the infamous ghost in the machine."]]'' It isn't quite clear why they do, so [[spoiler:it is likely a translation error, as the JP version has the master with a different concern]].
* GirlyRun: The female protagonist runs like this. They way how she walks slowly is also lady-like.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Despite having a canonical name, in the games themselves, the player may name them whatever they wish.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the end, the protagonist sacrifices himself/herself to seal away the Moon Cell and end the Holy Grail War.]]
%% MOD notice: Do not add Hime Cut. It has to be matched by personality traits, not just the hairstyle.
* HiddenBuxom: It is admittedly DependingOnTheArtist, but the times where the Female version of Hakuno shows up in the CCC manga shows that she's not [[https://i.imgur.com/SyJlDoy.png small-chested]] [[https://i.imgur.com/E8Spn2c.png as you]] [[https://i.imgur.com/bdjnX43.jpg would think]].
* HumanPopsicle: [[spoiler:Their originals have been placed in cryogenic suspension.]]
* IdenticalStranger: Material art and the ''Last Encore'' anime reveals that the Female Hakuno [[spoiler:looks incredibly similar to Blackmore's late wife, Anne.]]
* InformedAbility: Played with. Hakuno is referred to as a terrible Master in the beginning, and their servants even tell them that they are not at their peak, but a check of their Servants' canon stats shows Archer with higher Strength, Luck, and Clairvoyance than under Rin Tohsaka, and Gilgamesh with stats equal to those under Tokiomi Tohsaka. It can be assumed that by the end of the war, they have grown into a stronger Master and their Servants have regained their former strength.
* InSeriesNickname: Goes hand-on-hand with HelloInsertNameHere; you can also pick a personal nickname. But in general: Saber’s Praetor, Archer’s Master, Caster’s Goshujin-sama(Master, doubles as Husband), Gilgamesh’s Mongrel, Red Lancer’s Pig (male protagonist) and Baby Squirrel (female protagonist), Sakura’s and BB’s Senpai, [[spoiler:and after Leo’s death, Rani’s Chief/President]].
* InteractiveNarrator: Sometimes, it's hard to tell when the protagonist is thinking or actually talking. The only time we know they're talking is when someone replies.
* MulticoloredHair: [[spoiler:''Last Encore'''s female Hakuno has, in addition to her normal dark brown hair, has the hair going down her back fade into a much lighter, almost orange, brown at her hair ends]].
* NonActionGuy:
** Early on, it's mentioned that you're basically dead once your Servant gets KO'd.
** [[spoiler:Averted in the adaptations of the game, as Hakuno is as active as any other normal Master would be, and does his best to aid his Servant in any way possible, such as (in one instance of the Drama CD) distracting Dan Blackmore by being a target themselves for Sir Dan's code cast, which allows Saber to cut down Archer's Noble Phantasm without the distraction from Sir Dan. As he still pales in strength in comparison to other, stronger Masters, he relies on his wits and intuition to win.]]
* OfficialCouple: Male with Saber (in Blossom Sensei Vol.3, manga, and drama CD), Female with Archer (in Blossom Sensei Vol.3 and the third volume of the official anthology comic). In ''Extella: The Umbral Star'' and ''Extella Link'', it's indicated they've hooked up with Caster as well, as she refers to her realm as their "love nest" and comments that they're practically married.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Anime Hakuno is a Dead Face, someone who has died, but still lives. Rani declares that using his new ThePowerOfHate-based powers will result in LossOfIdentity, and Rin basically cements the undead status two episodes later.]]
* PlayerCharacter: An interesting case where Hakuno's initial personality is that of a blank slate (due to their memory loss) just like any other player character, but as the story progresses, their narration makes it quite clear that they are developing their own motivations and traits, thus averting FeaturelessProtagonist. Even though dialogue choices are available to the player, the story and character interactions are linear and only change between silly or serious options. [[spoiler:TheReveal only adds to the above.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: In the anime, Hakuno more or less admits to this. For some reason, he feels extreme hatred towards the Moon Cell, and it empowers him to {{Determinator}} levels. [[spoiler:This is because he's a Dead Face, which is basically a walking personification of hatred.]]
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: [[spoiler:Shown Gil's past from the perspective of Enkidu, with Enkidu being the one giving them the visions.]]
* PunnyName: Hakuno Kishinami is an anagram for "kimi no na hakushi", meaning "[[HelloInsertNameHere your name's blank"]].
* PurelyAestheticGender: There are very few dialogue changes or differences in gameplay based on your chosen gender. For example, aside from one optional comment, Caster will still refer to the female protagonist as her husband, Issei will accuse you of talking to Rani out of lust, and random Masters will clearly act as though the protagonist is either male or a lesbian. On the other hand, the female protagonist has some bonus dialogue with Archer, which is quite funny.
* TheReveal:
** [[spoiler:The protagonists are actually [=NPCs=] based off one of the previously living Humans, but somehow wound up developing his/her own will and becoming one of the Masters in the Holy Grail War.]]
** [[spoiler:In the ending, it is additionally revealed that the originals are still alive, but have been placed in cryogenic suspension since the [[NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup only doctor who can perform the procedure that can cure them died in the same attack]]. Until another one can repeat the procedure, they're going to stay there. And even ''if'' the original was to be revived, they would have no memories and be a different person from the AI copy that participated in the Grail War.]]
** [[spoiler:Episode 8 of the anime reveals that the Hakuno we've been following isn't the real Hakuno, who died at the start with her servant Saber. He is just the hatred of all the masters killed by Twice formed around the original Hakuno.]]
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: So much so that Rin mistakes them for a NPC instead of a participating Master. [[spoiler:She is not totally wrong.]]
* SailorFuku: The female protagonist wears this in ''CCC''.
* SchrodingersPlayerCharacter:
** Both male and female protagonists can be seen in the background of the prologue. You only play as one of them per playthrough.
** [[spoiler:In ''CCC'', there’s a slight variation between female and male protagonist, most glaring is Meltryllis’s infatuation shifts to Archer if the protagonist is female and as a result, male protagonist can’t unlock Archer’s third SG.]] Different Servant and Gender combination choice also changes several of their relationship between their chosen Servant.
* ShounenHair: The male protagonist's hairstyle.
* StaringDownCthulhu: By the end of Week [[spoiler:5, the protagonist [[TookALevelInBadass has become tough enough]] to no longer be affected by Julius's DeathGlare.]]
* SweetTooth: ''CCC'' materials reveal that the Female Protagonist likes candy and the Male Protagonist himself favors anmitsu (a type of Japanese dessert).
* UnwantedHarem: While both genders wind up with tons of chicks after them, it seems to be the male protagonist that stands out in canon. It even carries into side materials for him.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:Similar to Alice and Twice, they are basically a being that can only exist in the virtual world; the difference between them and Twice and Alice is that they are a digital ghost of a still-living human in cryogenic stasis back on Earth.]]
* TheVoiceless: Played with; Hakuno is the narrator and thus speaks to other characters without the dialogue box, and in addition, they have not been voiced in the main games to allow the players to project their voice onto them. However, at multiple times, their Servants (especially Saber) mention that they have a very beautiful voice. Naturally, this is dropped in the anime.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Both Saber and Rin note many times of their determined eyes when they have their goal set in mind. In ''CCC'', BB's infatuation with the protagonist often revolves around the fact that she likes their glaring eyes, and her Secret Garden is the only one that has the "looking into each other's eyes" pose. Even ''Gilgamesh'' thinks that Hakuno's eyes are "pleasing" when [[spoiler:he got sealed by BB and his "instinct" appears before them]].

[[folder:Shinji Matou]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/HiroshiKamiya (Japanese), Creator/KyleMcCarley (English, Anime), Arturo Castañeda (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:119:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_extrashinji_308.png]]

The Master of Rider. Like his ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, he is a "friend" to the Protagonist in the loosest sense of the word, behaving like an arrogant and childish bully. His objective in the Holy Grail War is simply to win for the prestige.

----
* AdaptationalHeroism: While he's still a dick, he's less enough of one for fans to find him somewhat tolerable and likeable. CCC Fox Tail is this UpToEleven [[spoiler:admitting that he does see Hakuno as a friend and doing all that he can to save him from Kazuradrop. It's telling that he actually got Violet to respect him and call him her master]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: His anime counterpart turns on Hakuno and tried to kill him before the Grail War even starts, whereas his game version at least acted as though they were friends until they learned they were matched up against each other. Even then, his game counterpart only did so under the rules, and thought the whole thing was a game.
* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: He doesn't realize the Holy Grail War is not a game until [[spoiler:he dies in the original game or killed someone in Last Encore]].
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Either he's a designer baby or a homunculus; his parents seem less to have "birthed" him and more to have "created" him. His genius while being 8 years old is because of that]].
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler:After Meltryllis stabs him]].
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:In real life, he's actually an eight-year-old gaming prodigy]].
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:Or rather, one he never met, since his mother used a sperm donor]].
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Hacks the system to place a virus inside himself, and lets himself get absorbed by Meltryllis to nerf her absurdly high level.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** [[spoiler:Really loves [[CurbStompBattle beating up weak players]], but just cannot accept Meltryllis' insane game-breaking levels and thus, throws in his share of effort to take her out]].
** His actions in Last Encore are all motivated by shock at learning he actually killed a real person.
* {{Expy}}: Looks pretty much identical to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight's'' Shinji Matou, but with a lighter hair color and, according to the playable Archer, being actually [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold good at heart]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Subverted in ''EXTRA'', but in ''CCC'', he willingly sacrifices himself and makes peace with the Protagonist before dying. This trope also applies in ''Last Encore''.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He repeatedly references "prize money" like in any other online gaming tourney, even offering to split it if the Protagonist throws the match. With everyone else aiming for the Holy Grail, Shinji clearly has no idea what the War is actually about... which becomes clear [[spoiler:when he loses]].
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In CCC Foxtail, he's at first on Hakuno's side once they wake up in the far side of the Moon Cell due to both of them losing their memories, [[spoiler:after Kazuradrop returns his memories he joins Kazuradrop but realizes that he doesn't hate Hakuno despite being killed by him. After Hakuno is on the verge of deletion, he turns against Kazuradrop to protect his friend.]]
* HeelRealization: After he got stabbed by Meltryllis [[spoiler:and used as a virus along with Lancer to corrupt Sakura]], he has a visible change of attitude close to HeroicBSOD. [[spoiler:It seems he keeps watching the Grail War even after he died and plunged into the sea of imaginary number, as he notices the protagonist's cries and remembers him in the following weeks. When the student council members’ collective memories is back, he quickly shifts into a non-antagonistic role, even when still insisting that IWorkAlone.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In CCC Fox Tail chapter 44, he protects Violet from being eaten by Kazuradrop at the cost of his life, reasoning that Leo, Gawain, and Violet are needed in the fight against her]].
* InfantImmortality: {{Averted|Trope}} in an unusual way, considering his death is the moment is the moment we find out he was a child.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:By Meltryllis in CCC.]]
** In Fox Tail, [[spoiler: He get impailed by Kazudrop's insect eater skill to protect Violet.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Justified. [[spoiler:He thinks everything is a game during Extra and doesn't realize the danger he and the others face. He completely drops this and is a NiceGuy in CCC since he remembers what happened. There's also the fact that he's really only eight years old, and children at that age are still rather self-engaged.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** According to the playable Archer, he's this. Considering that he thinks it's all a game [[spoiler:and he's only eight years old]], its very possible that he's sincere about his offer ([[ButThouMust which you cannot accept]]) before the Elimination Battle, rather than just being a condescending jerk.
** If the protagonist loses said battle, however, the emphasis is put on the Jerk part. [[KickTheDog He basically says he hates you for challenging him, still thinking it's a game.]] This is because all of your dialogue options before it starts have either you or your Servant throwing his offer back in his face.
** At the start of CCC, when he faced deletion, the protagonist tries to help him. But he tries to get them away by shouting abuses, because that's just the way 'friends' are.
** In Last Encore, he manages a nice and peaceful city built for people who don't want to keep fighting.
* LargeHam: "[[HumongousMecha SHIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIII TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!!!]]"
* LooseLips: He tends to brag (and drop info in the process) about his Servant a lot. Justified, since he's [[spoiler:an eight-year-old kid, and kids at that age tend to brag a lot]]. His overconfidence doesn't help, either.
* NeverMyFault: All the time. [[spoiler:But let's face it, most people at eight years old do the same thing.]]
* MythologyGag:
** He's arrogant, has quite a few female classmates fawning over him and is somehow friends with the main character, just like his ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart.
** In CCC Foxtail, he [[spoiler:partners up with Violet who just so happens to look like Rider Medusa, one of his counterpart's servants]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Infects his body with a virus so that when Meltryllis absorbs him, it drops her level from 999 all the way back to 1.]]
* TakingTheBullet: In Fox Tail [[spoiler: He jumps between Violet and Kazudrop right before the latter devours the former, saving Violet at the cost of his own life.]]
* WhyCantIHateYou: In CCC Fox Tail, [[spoiler:he turns on Hakuno after remembering he lost to him and thus was killed. But despite that Shinji doesn't hate Hakuno to his confusion. He realizes that as he was deleted he saw Hakuno crying over his deletion and thus he still sees Hakuno as his friend.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:He's actually only eight years old, despite having the appearance of a teenager in the game.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dan Blackmore]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/{{Mugihito}} (Japanese), Ian Alden (English, Anime), Santos Alberto (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_dan_8118.png]]

The Master of Archer, an elderly soldier who serves the Queen of England. His absolute adherence to chivalry puts him at extreme odds with his Servant, whose own method of fighting is incompatible with Blackmore's ideals.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The corruption of the Moon Holy Grail War by Chakravartin in the anime adaptation has marooned him and Archer on the second ring of the Moon Cell. Having been trapped there for more than 50 years [[spoiler:after having already lost 999 years ago but given a second chance with the possibility that Moon Cell never recorded his HonorBeforeReason behavior]], he has lost much of his honor and only strives to kill Masters and Servants as quickly as possible in the hopes that doing so enough (he has slain about 30 by the time Hakuno and Saber cross paths with him) will fix the system and finally allow him and his Servant to ascend. This can be seen in him attempting to snipe Hakuno the moment he enters the floor; the Dan Blackmore from the game would have been insulted at the thought of something so ruthless and unnecessary.
* BackFromTheDead:
** Not Blackmore himself, but it's part of his motivation. [[spoiler:He wants to claim the Holy Grail in order to bring back his wife.]]
** Played straight in the anime adaptation, where he is killed but brought back to serve as the second floor boss. He himself is surprised, since he died like he did in game.
* ColdSniper: He used to be one.
* CoolOldGuy: He's a chilverous souilder and a powerful master, who's not above handicaping if he fealt that his servant wronged his enemy.
%%* TheFettered
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He picks up on [[spoiler:aspects of Saber's and Caster's identities]] well before you do.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Even when he dies, he is happy because he was able to serve as a stepping stone for a bright new soul, the protagonist's, to take root.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Despite (or possibly because of) his background as an experienced sniper, he insists on following the rules of the War and more than once prevents his Servant from finishing you off because they did it outside the Arena.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:He even gives advice to the protagonist.]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: In ''Last Encore'', his aiming skill at first seems absurd when he is trying to snipe Hakuno from a clocktower miles away from the castle Hakuno appeared in with nothing more than an iron-sight. [[spoiler:But then it turns ridiculous when it is revealed he was hiding in the castle all this time and was using the bells in the clocktower to deflect his shots to hit his targets.]]
* NecroMantic: [[spoiler:Wants to bring his wife back to life with the Grail.]]
* OneSteveLimit: Averted as he shares the same last name as [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Gransurg Blackmore]], with no confirmation that he is related to him in any way.
* RetiredBadass: Used to be a sniper in the military.
%%* WorthyOpponent
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Alice]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AiNonaka (Japanese), Creator/XantheHuynh (English), Pamela Mendoza (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_aliceextra_8182.png]]

The Master of Caster, a mysterious young girl that supposedly haunts the third floor of the school. When she meets the protagonists, she's happy to finally have someone to play with.
----
* AbusiveParents: According to Alice, her ''"Daddy got mad if [she] said it hurts"''.
* AliceAllusion: Besides her name and appearance, she and her Servant drop other ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' references, such as to the March Hare, as well as to ''Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}'', another work by "[[Creator/LewisCarroll Professor Dodgson]]".
* AssimilationBackfire: [[spoiler:In the anime adaption, she absorbs the data from items located throughout the floor to sustain her physical form, but doing so begins to backfire when she takes in the mana of too many things, resulting in her body transforming into a disgusting ShapeshifterMashup of the things she has drained of mana, that eventually loses any semblance of a human form]].
* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler:In the anime adaption, due to her status as being already deceased, the Moon Cell couldn't kill her when she technically lost to Hakuno in their skirmish, allowing her to continue her existence. Unfortunately, it came with a whole new page of complications when the Moon Cell's other sets of programming tried to erase her on the foundation as a "ghost", causing her to suffer an endless groundhog day tug-of-war for a millennia instead.]]
* CheerfulChild: Just like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Ilya]], when she's not being a CreepyChild, she's this.
* CreepyChild: She tends to say some pretty unnerving things, and it gets more pronounced when she's around her Servant.
* CreepyTwins: Pulls it off with her Servant, who copies her form.
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:She was originally a girl who lived in England during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, when she was gravely injured during an air raid towards the end of the war. During her stay at the hospital, it was discovered that she had magic circuits and was kept alive for research purposes. After several years, her physical body died but her mind continued to live on in the cyber world.]]
* ElegantGothicLolita: She wears blue and white in contrast to her Servant.
* EmptyShell: [[spoiler:In Meltryllis’s dungeon. Caster was turned into a doll and torn apart by Meltryllis, and because Alice's connection with her Servant is like a mirror, this left Alice as helpless as the torn doll. She’s described as “the soul leaving from [her] eyes, even though she’s still alive,” after making her last words a plea to give Caster back. Only by returning the real Caster to Alice can she can finally pass on.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:She even comforts her Servant.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: In the anime [[spoiler:she becomes a terrifying monster made up of items and objects that she drained the data of to sustain herself. In this state, she cannot speak or really control her actions, lashing out in fear and pain until she went mad. She only regains her sanity when she spots Hakuno with the book he read to her in the past, just in time for Saber and Rin to kill her.]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** A lot of her dialogue during the tail-end of the 3rd week remarks on how she and the protagonist are similar, except that the protagonist still has somewhere to go back to.
** Also, look at [[spoiler:her limbs. Those are ball-joint limbs]].
** In the anime, [[spoiler:look at the shadow of the monster.]]
* HopelessBossFight: In the anime, [[spoiler:because of Nursery Rhyme's Noble Phantasm, her monster form is unkillable since a decisive blow will cause time to reset to the beginning of the day. The only reason she's defeated is because she regains her sanity at the last moment and opts not to have Nursery Rhyme activate it.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: She can use magic like any other Master. It also accentuates her mysteriousness.
* NiceGirl: Not counting her CreepyChild tendencies, Alice has a sweet and innocent personality. [[spoiler:She even goes to the extent of comforting her servant when she's about to fade away.]]
* ThirdPersonPerson: Made doubly confusing by her Servant also going by the name Alice. Thankfully, the in-game text is ColorCodedForYourConvenience.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:Though her physical body died a long time ago, she still lives on as a ghost in the cyber world.]]

!!!Voiced by: Creator/YuuKobayashi
[[quoteright:130:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_lanrukun_5633.png]]

The Master of Lancer, a mentally unstable woman who constantly wears the clown mascot costume of a popular hamburger shop. She will only eat that which she loves, resulting in a bizarre eating disorder that resulted in her consuming her own parents, pet and child. Her wish is to obtain the Holy Grail and make all of humanity like her.
----
* AdaptedOut: She does not appear in the anime adaptation.
* CoolMask: Never seen without her clown mask.
* HiddenEyes: According to the protagonist, only the black pupils are visible through the mask.
* HorrorHunger: She can only eat things or ''[[ImAHumanitarian people]]'' she loves.
%%* IdiotHair
* ImAHumanitarian: As a part of her eating disorder, she has eaten her parents and ''her baby''. [[spoiler: Unless, as Vlad III suggested in his [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder interlude in another game]], she instead just really wanted to but resisted.]]
* IWasQuiteALooker: In the Manga version, before the start of her disorder.
* LeanAndMean: She is rather thin while also being the second tallest female in the entire Nasuverse (and that's only because Meltryllis's height includes her fake legs), and she is insane.
%%* MalevolentMaskedMen
* MonsterClown: She's a cannibal who dresses like a clown.
%%* PeekABangs
* SheCleansUpNicely: The art book shows what she looks like without the clown mask and she's ''gorgeous''.
* ShoutOut: An obvious reference to the Japanese version of Ronald [=McDonald=] and his "RAN-RAN-RUUUU" catchphrase. Her English name is also a pun to 'Ronald'.
-->'''Protagonist''': ''Curly red hair. Clown make-up and costume. Awkward, gangly figure. [[LampshadeHanging Why does this ring a bell?]]''
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Due to katakana ambiguity, her Japanese name could be Romanized either "Lanrukun" or "Ranruu-kun".
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:In Rani's Route you never encounter her]].
* TragicMonster: It's not ''her'' fault she's crazy. Even her desire to make all humanity like her is rooted not in some sort of evil scheme, but in the fact that she's tired of being a lonely freak and genuinely believes humankind would be better off if they were like her.

[[folder:Monji Gatou]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/KentaroIto
[[quoteright:158:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_goutou_monji_6640.png]]

The Master of Berserker, a fanatic who ascribes to a number of different religions and worships his Servant as his god. He believes that he can save humanity through his self-made religion and strives to make his Servant into a true deity. Unfortunately, he is an incredibly poor Master and only serves to hinder his Servant's true potential.
----
* AdaptedOut: He does not appear in the anime adaptation.
* TheAntiNihilist: He really did go on a pilgrimage to study every single religion to get a better understanding of the world; it’s just the conclusion he reached is that humanity are such assholes they would create religions just to gain scapegoats for their own misery in form of the gods. Even so, he still thinks humanity has a chance simply because it’s just because of their luck that they suffer, and there’s always a next time.
* AscendedExtra: Plays a more important role in ''CCC'' as one of the former Masters who joins the student council to escape. He even offers help and advice several times and is involved in a few side quests.
* BeliefMakesYouStupid: It's not clear whether he would have been this nuts without religious belief, but it is noted that because of his incompetence, his Servant isn't capable of fighting at full power.
* CorruptChurch: He indicates that he has joined many religions, and expresses disgust at the "compromises and hypocrisies" that organized religion makes to survive in the world.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He mentions Kiara Sesshouin as a religious figure of import in one of his rants, setting up for her presence in ''CCC''.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Walks into a barrier set up by Jinako which will delete anyone who enters.]]
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:When he loses and starts fading away, he begs Berserker to let him hear her voice. His wish is granted, because Berserker loses her Mad Enhancement and regains her ability to speak. She explains that she is not a god and bids him farewell, promising to meet him again when he is reincarnated.]]
* NotWhatItLooksLike: When you visit the girl you saved in the Nurse's Office, he'll think you're "seeing her" in a different manner:
--> ''I did not want to believe it, but a clandestine tryst is being held! Young [[SchrodingersPlayerCharacter man]]/[[PurelyAestheticGender lady]], [[SexIsEvil follow the path of abstinence and righteousness!]]''
* NoIndoorVoice: [[LampshadeHanging You can even point it out.]]
* ReligiousBruiser: All his jumbled mess of religious talk is not just for show. When he’s facing someone with strong religious background, he can hold a conversation about obscure supernatural references like taunting Caster with aburaage and explaining what the jhanas are when Kiara speaks of it.
* TheUnfought:[[spoiler: In Rin’s Route you never encounter him.]]
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: It's revealed in the material book that even Kiara, who has seduced countless people under her sway, couldn't stand his religious zealotry.
* WarriorPoet: See ReligiousBruiser. When comparing the Far Side of the Moon with Shangri-la or the Dragon King’s Palace because its beauty is eternal unlike the Near Side’s day-to-day slaughter, you cannot help but to agree that he, in some way, is right.

[[quoteright:111:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1julius_9581.png]]

The Master of Assassin, who initially appears as a teacher.
----
* BackFromTheDead:
** [[spoiler:He becomes a cyber ghost after his defeat, and appears in the Arena on the first day of the 7th week.]]
** [[spoiler:In the anime, he became a Dead Face when the cast meets him in Episode 8 and is determined to kill Hakuno.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:In ''CCC'', he saves the protagonist after BB tries to have them deleted because he remembers their acts of kindness to him as a Virtual Ghost in the first game.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He's been an assassin from a young age, was rejected by his father to the point where he wasn't even permitted to call him 'father' and [[spoiler:was forced to kill the only person who ever showed him any love.]] It's a surprise that he's as restrained as he is.
* DeathGlare: He stares at the protagonist in a ''very'' unnerving manner, and its effects are described well enough to be considered InUniverse NightmareFuel and ParanoiaFuel.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:After he grants his mother's last wish, to protect Leo, he planned to join her in death.]]
* DissonantSerenity: When you face him [[spoiler:the second time]], at least at first.
* EvenEvilHasStandards; He's rather disturbed by the implications of Kiara's hacking, which could easily be seen as mind raping the target to get their secrets and break them psychologically. Given his DarkAndTroubledPast, it makes sense why he'd be against it.
%%* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Averted the first time you beat him, played straight the second time.]]
%%* FreudianExcuse
* IcyGrayEyes: Described as steel-gray, and very menacing.
* MythologyGag: He's a [[TheStoic stoic]] teacher[=/=][[spoiler:assassin]] who is very dark and brooding.
* OnlySaneMan: As the only [[YoungerThanHeLooks ‘adult’]] in the Student Council, he becomes the only one who grounds the rest to their mission while they often got sidetracked.
* PlayingWithSyringes: When he was a kid, he had his liver removed ''without'' anesthesia just to see how he reacted to pain.
* RedBaron: His reputation as an assassin earned him the nickname "Black Scorpion".
* SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:To the point where the protagonist actually cries for him or tries to hold his hand. The protagonist feels some deep empathy with his lack of identity given their own issues with amnesia.]]
* TallDarkAndHandsome: A female student mentions this trope word for word, but also put emphasis on the Dark part.
* TheUnfavorite: He wasn't born with "that which was needed to lead the Harways", which meant he was treated ''very'' poorly.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:After his first defeat.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Implied in the series of visions preceding the second battle with him. Outright stated so by Leo in CCC when he says both him and Julius are in a same age, and Leo is about 15.

[[quoteright:161:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1extrarin_3444.png]]

The Master of Lancer. She is a descendant of the Tousaka lineage of magi and one of the most famous spirit hackers in the world. Despite looking and acting the same as her ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, she is a different person. An honors student and the idol of Tsukimihara Academy.
----
* CreepyCoolCrosses: Like her ''F/SN'' counterpart, she has one on her top.
* {{Expy}}: Looks and behaves almost identically to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight's'' Rin Tohsaka and even has the same name, though Archer notes that they're not the same person. Rather, she is apparently the original Tohsaka's niece. Since magecraft in the world of Extra works is based in hacking, she's much more talented with technology than her predecessor. [[spoiler:Also, in the real world she's actually blonde.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Calm about it when you defeat Lancer on Rani's route and says she's glad, since she's sure that the protagonist will defeat Leo.]]
* FingerlessGloves: That are part of her jumper.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:She fused with her servant in the anime and can use his powers whenever she wants to.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:One more gentle than the protagonist has ever seen her give.]]
* GirlishPigtails: The "two side up" variant that the original Rin from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' also had.
* GracefulLoser: She's genuinely happy when the protagonist beats her and wishes the best for her.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: If questioned about school or her dreams before the match, she admits that after everything is done she'd like to just quit all this terrorism stuff, head back to Japan and go to a normal school without having to worry about anything anymore.
* IWasJustPassingThrough: According to her, she just wanted to say hello to Julius, saving your life was an unintended side effect. Could be true: She ''really'' hates the Harways.
* LaResistance: [[spoiler:She's a member of one such group in the real world, fighting against the Western European Plutocracy.]]
* MaleGaze: In the official art.
* MoneyFetish: She hacked a 5M worth of Ruby into the commissary. She's noted by many as 'money-worshipper'. Because the circumstances of her birth are harsh even though she's from a notable family, money is equal to power for her. But as this is [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] we're talking about, she of course denies it... at least until the protagonist calls her out for being a capitalistic bitch in CCC.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: She feels up the protagonist on their first meeting, thinking they're a regular NPC. She does this regardless of their gender, and [[PurelyAestheticGender they have]] [[LesYay identical reactions]].
* OrderVersusChaos: The Chaos to Leo's Order. She's willing to struggle for freedom, even if it means disrupting the Harway's peace.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Referred to as "Rin Tousaka" in the translation, instead of "Tohsaka" as in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* StockingFiller: Wears one garter.
* ShoutOut: During the lunch scene on her route:
--> ''... [[Memes/TheSimpsons (Urge to kill, rising.)]]''
* {{Tsundere}}: A Harsh type, just like the original Rin.
* WorthyOpponent: By the time her match comes around, should you be on the proper route for it, she admits to the protagonist's ability and rather wistfully admits that she rather likes them and that they could have been friends if they'd met in the real world.

[[folder:Rani VIII]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AsamiSanada (Japanese), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (English, Anime), Verania Ortiz (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_rani_5104.png]]

The Master of Berserker and an alchemist from the Atlas Institute in Egypt. Because she is a homunculus created specifically to participate in the Holy Grail War, she does not appear to follow her own will and considers herself a tool of her teacher. WordOfGod states her creator was Sialim Eltnam Re-Atlasia, [[Videogame/MeltyBlood Sion Eltnam]]'s younger twin sister, the original having died in this universe.

----
* AbsoluteCleavage: She wears a blouse with a V-shaped neckline that plunges half way down to her navel.
* AlchemyIsMagic: She is an alchemist of the Atlas Institution, and practices astrology as well as spirit hacking.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In her lunch scene, she cooks Egyptian food, and in [[spoiler:the 5th Week's [[IntimateHealing Magic Circuit Repair scene]]]] Archer wonders whether she's Egyptian or Babylonian. The presence of a bindi on her forehead also suggests an Indian influence in her design. In ''CCC'' she clarifies that she's Egyptian, but her creator enjoyed Indian culture and that influenced her design somewhat.
* {{Astrologer}}: She can also do this, uses this talent to divine information about you and several of your enemies.
* BecomeARealBoy: [[spoiler:Her goal and what happens on her route.]]
* CovertPervert: Her third SG dwells in the fact that she's too dependent to outside figure, hating that, but doesn't really know what to do to rebel. When noted that her contradiction of the reason why she's GoingCommando is because she can't make differences between rational thought and personal preferences, she has a revelation of her own freedom by embracing her inner perversion and becomes a shameless exhibitionist. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple eyes and hair
* DeadpanSnarker: She seems to grow into this in CCC. When Rin's insensitive about Sakura's embarrassment of the DoubleEntendre she said about the protagonist's dive inside Sakura's internal working, Rani comforts Sakura by making a jab at Rin.
--> "I am still studying emotions myself, but Miss Tohsaka is a truly excellent teacher. Of what not to do, that is."
* EmotionlessGirl: Due to being a homunculus. A major part of her route is her coming to terms with her feelings for the protagonist.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:If you're on Rin's route, this is what happens after you beat her in the 6th week Elimination Battle. Also happens in the anime, staying in the dying Second Floor while wishing Hakuno good luck.]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her stockings are different colors, and she ties part of her hair in a right-sidetail.
* {{Meganekko}}: Her glasses are actually scanners with a variety of functions. In ''CCC'', she also declares that "girls with glasses are supreme".
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:She somehow survives both her own self-destruction ''and'' being stabbed by ''[[BladeOnAStick Gae]] [[AttackOnTheHeart Bolg]]'' regardless of which girl is saved.]]
* OurHomunculiAreDifferent: Unlike other homunculi featured in the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}, it's shown that at least some of her internal organs are made of opal or at least something that looks like it. Her heart is made of both etherlite and opal. She's also designed with a self-destruct mechanism.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:During her battle with Rin, she notices that she's likely to lose, and due to a directive, she is to destroy herself ''and'' the Moon Cell in case of failure. It doesn't work due to the protagonist's intervention, regardless of who you choose to save]].
* UnskilledButStrong: She's an excellent hacker and a powerful Master, but in battle she is noted to display much less skill than Tousaka, [[spoiler:which gives the latter the edge when the are paired during the third round. Rani knows it as well as it turns what would have been an even fight into one in Tousaka's favor, causing her to attempt to destroy the Moon Cell itself.]]
* VaporWear: The CCC Fox Tail manga shows that she doesn't wear panties and is apparently not bothered or upset when a gust of wind reveals this to Hakuno and Caster.

[[folder:Leonard Bistario Harway]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/RomiPark (Japanese), Creator/LauraStahl (English), Emiliano Ugarte (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:106:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_leo_6823.png]]

The Master of Saber. Leo is the heir to the Harway family that controls a third of the world's land and two thirds of its wealth. He seeks the Holy Grail to expand the influence of the Harways to the entire world, sincerely believing that it is in humanity's best interest.

He is supremely confident in his ability, having never known defeat or failure. Because of this, he does not even bother to hide the identity of his Servant as Gawain, one of the Knights of the Round Table. However, this means he has never experienced normal human emotions such as despair or courage.

----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Along with CharacterizationMarchesOn, even. Leo is far friendlier in ''CCC'' than he was in the first Extra game. [[spoiler:Considering that he is making up time for being unable to have a chance for a normal high school life and made up to it with friendly banter and teen like shenanigans]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: Due to being saved from death in the anime, Leo is swayed to Twice's side and ends up becoming more cruel then he was in game. Instead of believing himself to be the hope of mankind, he no longer cares for mankind, happy to let it wash away. He is also much more condescending towards people, even treating his Servant as a mere tool instead of an ally like in game.
* AffablyEvil: He's pretty nice throughout the game to the protagonists, [[spoiler:even after they kill his brother]].
* DarkMessiah: As explained in WellIntentionedExtremist. If wiping out a continent for the future is for the best, then so be it.
* EvilDebtCollector: Played for laughs in ''CCC''; after the protagonist borrows his money to buy something for Sakura, he immediately sics Gawain on them to collect the debt. According to WordOfGod, the male protagonist hates him for that.
* ExperimentedInCollege: Outright says he did so (in high school) in ''Foxtail'', when Rin accuses him of not being bisexual.
%%* FaceDeathWithDignity
* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:Not his pride, which is largely justified. Rather, he lacks perspective and the emotions and traits associated with overcoming adversity such as determination and ambition.]]
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Surprisingly, he's foolish to Julius' responsible. He always drags the reluctant Julius along for some perverted hijinks. [[spoiler:From his monologue after Gawain finally got curbstomped by BB, he seems to want to make up the time of not being a normal high school student before he was defeated in the Grail War.]]
* GentlemanAndAScholar: He is very charming and brilliant, and honestly believes ''he'' will win the Holy Grail Tournament. What keeps him from being an InsufferableGenius is his mannerisms and innocent outlook of the world's state of affairs.
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After his defeat at the hands of the protagonist.]]
* InformedAttribute: He's referred to as the strongest Master, but it's not exactly difficult to win [[spoiler:when your Servant is literally invincible.]] He has a simplistic world view, little emotional depth or understanding, and generally fails to use any sort of actual tactics. Some of this is intentional, but it can become difficult to see why he's taken so seriously. He ''is'' bright enough not to fall for obvious traps, but Gawain is easy enough to provoke, which allows the protagonist to disable Gawain's abilities enough to have a chance at winning.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:What he truly needed to be able to become a king was to know defeat. But in learning defeat, he is immediately doomed thanks to the rules of the Holy Grail War.]]
%%* KnightTemplar
* LightIsNotGood: Closely associated with the Sun.
* NotSoStoic: Gets really excited at the prospect of fighting the protagonist. [[spoiler:Also, when he's defeated. He even [[TearsOfRemorse cries]].]]
* OrderVersusChaos: The Order to Rin's Chaos. He promotes peace at the cost of individual freedom.
* PlayingWithSyringes: [[spoiler:He had extensive surgery when he was only ''three'' years old.]]
* TheStoic: Responds to everything very calmly, even the prospect of his brother dying.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Leonard or Leonardo? The official translation uses both at times.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:One of the proposed in-universe theories on the World's future demise is called "Overcount 1999". In this scenario, the very soul of the Earth is hurt and causes its natural resources to die and ultimately an inability to continue living on the planet. For a while such a cause was considered unknown. But in ''Last Encore'', Twice reveals who was responsible for the ritual that caused Overcount 1999 and the ensuring resource crisis that the whole of Fate/EXTRA's Earth suffers: '''the Harways.''']]
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He's fine with letting the world stagnate as long as peace is maintained in the process.
* VisionaryVillain: He truly believes that his taking control of the human race will lead to an era of peace and stability. The protagonist often states that they sense no animosity or maliciousness in Leo, just an unwavering conviction.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He believes that what humanity desires most is comfort and stability, and if it takes [[KillEmAll wiping out]] [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide all of Asia]] to create that stability, [[AMillionIsAStatistic so be it]]. He also considers restricting the use of technology, and hence of {{Magitek}}, to the elite - that is, his family and their allies - to be in the best interest of everyone. The masses could ''never'' use such power wisely, so Leo and the Harways will do it for them.
* WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide: The population of Asia is viewed as '...expendable' should it come to that.

A prominent scientist who pioneered the science of digital hacking and a number of advanced medical techniques.

* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:A version that takes a little of every Class. Before ''Last Encore'', Twice got his wish, but Humanity still lacked the ability to change or advance sufficiently. So he lost faith in Humanity and decided that it would be better to wipe them out, using the Noble Phantasm left behind by Saver to command the Moon Cell to not only wipe out the past thousand years of his failure, but to wipe out all potential timelines, universes and possibilities; destroying whatever future Humanity could have.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: His name is mentioned in the prologue during Taiga's lecture, and his cyber ghost pops up on the third week. Also, after the route split, Tohsaka compares the protagonist to him, though it isn't explained why. He's also the narrator for the monologues given before each round.

--> '''Protagonist''': [[spoiler:''There's no hint of insanity visible in his eyes. Naturally, and with obvious sincerity he can somehow utter such a statement of absolute madness.'']]
* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans[=/=]UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Decides that endless war is the best way to get humanity out of the rut it's in, and is willing to murder countless people indirectly (through the Holy Grail War) and directly (the previous winners before the protagonist) to start one.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To the protagonists. [[spoiler:He died in the same incident, started out as a NPC who became self-aware, and fought until he became strong enough to win and reach the Moon Cell, just like the protagonists did. Their intentions, however, are very different.]]
* ForeverWar: [[spoiler:What he wants to bring about.]]
* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:His ''Last Encore'' counterpart is this, as the whole anime is what would happen if Hakuno lost to Twice in the end and he got his wish. [[InSpiteOfANail However]], despite making his wish, Humanity didn't progress like he thought it would and his Dead Face that resulted from using Moon Cell eventually tried to wipe it all out.]]
%%* NarratorAllAlong
* PostHistoricalTrauma: [[spoiler:His hatred of war comes from a combination of this and [[ShellShockedVeteran his own experiences of it]], but he also noticed that [[TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople it brought out the best in people]], leading to his plan to start an endless war.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: In the anime, [[spoiler:Twice using Moon Cell to start his wish resulted in his deletion just like Hakuno. However, it left behind a Dead Face that had command of Saver's Noble Phantasm.]]
* PronounTrouble: In-universe, he tends to rapidly shift back and fourth between the third and first persons, sometimes within the same sentence.
* RenaissanceMan: Pioneered spirit hacking, specialized in cybernetics to improve prosthetics, also did significant work in brain and neurosurgery, electric engineering and network development. All of this before he died at the age of 29.

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amari_misao.png]]

A student at Tsukumihara Academy who is Shinji's girlfriend and Hakuno's friend. She is a brand new character made for the anime. According to the tie-in drama CD her she has a Rider class Servant Vánagandr, aka Fenir

----
* AmbiguousSituation: Her fate at the end of the first episode is left vague. Shinji mentions hiding her in a safe place, but her name appears later on the tower in the school, indicating she might have been deemed worthy of becoming a Master. [[spoiler:Shinji's brutal stabbing of Hakuno, and the Moon Cell itself massacring the students and [=NPCs=] left also leaves her fate very up in the air, until Episode 6, when she's revealed to have made it to the third floor, but even still its not clear if she is still on the floor, dead, or moved on, as the floor messes with people's minds, and by the end of the next episode, her fate is left completely unresolved]].
** The Drama CD reveals that [[spoiler:she returned to the first floor when Chakravartin took over the Moon Cell, and was working with Shinji as commander over the Berserker servants and police force to hunt for Rin. Rin ends up killing her right before the floor ends up flooded.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While initially acting nice and friendly in Episode 1, when she reappears later in Episode 6, her personality is much more hostile and cold, making it clear her friendliness was a cover.
* CanonForeigner: A brand new character introduced in ''Last Encore'' without any connection to any NPC in the games or past characters.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has bright pink hair that matches her eyes.
* DrowningMySorrows: Amari appears to be doing this in Episode 6. As she muses over her failure to find anyone weaker than her on the third floor, and her self-admittedly meager reasons to compete in the Holy Grail War, she's seen lying on a bed, surrounded by several empty bottles, and she gulps down a full wineglass during the scene.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Due to the circumstances around her birth, Misao wants to win the Grail as a "screw you" to those who saw her as nothing more than a {{Designer Bab|ies}}y, and show the world she has reasons for existing.
* {{Irony}}: Her goal was to find the weakest Master and beat them, only for her to realize ''she'' was the weakest Master she could find. The irony is not lost on her.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears white pantyhose with her school uniform.
* SuperBreedingProgram: By her own admission she was the result of one. Her mother was not able to make it far enough in her plans, so she conceived Misao as a way to solidify her power. Misao is not happy about it one bit.
* TheUnfettered: She declares she will throw away everything and sacrifice as many lives as necessary to win the Holy Grail War.
* UnfortunateNames: She had been mocked in the past because "Amari" means "scraps" or "leftovers" in Japanese.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Her fate is left completely vague by the end of episode 7, and the closest thing the audience is given is the implication she might have been beaten by Rin. Still, by the time the group moves on to the next floor, her status is not mentioned]].
** The Drama CD reveals she was working off screen for Shinji during during Hakuno's visit, running the police force, all in order to hunt down Rin. She's also the one commanding the various servants that attack Rin while Hakuno and Shinji fight. Rin ends up killing her right before the floor ends up flooded.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has long pink hair.

!!Playable Servants

[[folder:Saber]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/SakuraTange (Japanese), Creator/CassandraLeeMorris (English, Anime), Alicia Vélez (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_saber_fate_extra_2875.png]]

One of three Servants available to the Protagonist. Saber is [[{{Expy}} near-identical in appearance]] to the Saber of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''; however, this Saber is vain, self-glorifying and pompous, with a love for the theatrical. Despite this, she genuinely cares for the Protagonist in her own way, and strives to embrace the beauty in all things.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: In CCC promotion artwork along with BB and CCC Type-Moon Virgin White Box.
* AccentAdaptation: Averted; Saber speaks with an accent common to Japanese nobles during Imperial Japan, however, her dialogue is translated into normal English.
%%* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Speaks in an old-fashioned manner, and uses the masculine and archaic "yo" to refer to herself.
* AttentionWhore: Absolutely adores it. She just wants to be loved by everyone like she loves everyone else. There is a reason her nickname is [[spoiler:"The Whore of Babylon"]].
* BarelyThereSwimwear: An unlockable outfit in ''CCC''.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: At least she considers herself to be this. She claims all of the good she did for her people is self-serving, she couldn't care less if people she doesn't love face tragedy and, most importantly, she only knows how to judge people on whether their actions were beautiful or not, not if they were good or bad.
* {{Bokukko}}: In her case, she uses the masculine and archaic first-person pronoun "yo".
* ButNotTooBi: She's openly bisexual, though this line implies she likes girls more:
-->''"Beautiful boys are nice. Beautiful girls are even better! My single preference is beauty!"''
* CallBack: She said she wouldn't mind if she was called [[spoiler:"The Whore of Babylon"]] because of her historical reputation, as long as the main character likes her... guess what she gets called during the the 7th week? Granted, it's someone else calling her that.
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Saber is not ashamed of her sexuality, but simply feels the protagonist is too innocent to do anything to. This doesn't stop her from loving them.
* ChainedByFashion: Her ''CCC'' "Virgin Bride" costume has chains around her neck and wrist.
* ChaoticGood: InUniverse alignment. You'd probably expect an emperor to have a more lawful alignment, but it seems not.
%%* ChivalrousPervert
* CleavageWindow: Both on her chest and on her rear.
* ClingyJealousGirl: In the manga adaptation, when Rani accidentally reveals she is GoingCommando (her skirt blew up), Saber gets upset and accuses her of doing it on purpose to try to seduce Hakuno. She orders Hakuno to stay away from Rani and then asks if he would like it if she went commando.
* CoolSword: Aestus Estus: The Embryonic Flame. It's easily [[{{BFS}} bigger than both protagonists.]]
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Her Imperial Privilege works like this: if I think I can do that, then I can! She becomes a Saber because of this, her class' base stats be damned. She is also capable of [[spoiler:summoning her Golden Theatre in the manner of a Reality Marble, granting herself ''Divinity'', and even summoning [[Literature/BookOfRevelation the Beast from the Book of Revelation]] as a ''riding mount'' due to her moniker as the "Whore of Babylon"]].
* DeusExMachina: [[ConversationalTroping Conversed]] during a private room chat in Week 4. She says her favorite play ended with one for everyone to have happy endings, which the protagonist calls "cheating."
-->'''Saber:''' ''While it is a staple of theater, I do not like it much.''
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: When Archer makes a small quip about Saber's devotion to her Master, she blows up and starts defending herself from perceived accusations of liking Hakuno. This is so at odds with what he was actually saying that a nonplussed Archer can merely respond with "...'Kay." It wasn't so much digging herself deeper as digging the hole entirely by herself.
* DrivenToSuicide: In her first lifetime. She stopped herself many times, as she felt that she had done nothing wrong and that she was punishing the public by having "such a magnificent artist disappear from this world", before finally stabbing her own throat with a knife.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Back when she was alive, she once publicly fought a lion and killed it with her bare hands as a reenactment of Heracles vs the Nemean Lion. Nobody was impressed.
* DumpStat: Luck and Magic, especially since one of her skills limits her ability to use magic even further. Agility is of questionable worth, but it's not unreasonable to put some points into it to stabilize her damage range. Magic is still worth putting a little bit into though as to provide more mana to her.
* TheEmperor: Since Saber is almost as bad about hiding her identity as Caster, she makes it clear early on that she was a Roman Emperor with a poor reputation but with a generally positive reception from the people.
* EvilMatriarch: Her mother was this in her backstory.
* {{Expy}}: Looks pretty much identical to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight's'' Saber, but with a red dress with a different design, a different sword, bigger breasts, and even shorter in height. Personality-wise, she resembles a mix between Saber and Gilgamesh, with the former's compassion, and the latter's ego.
** If the [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight original Saber]] is associated with [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei]] [[ReiAyanamiExpy Ayanami]], being cold, emotionless, and associated with the color blue, this Saber could be seen as being modeled after her counterpart: Asuka Langley Soryu, being vain, self-obsessed, arrogant, and associated with the color red.
* FriendlyRival: With Lancer [[spoiler:Elizabeth]] because of their similar temperament, hobbies, and utter blindness that they suck at said hobbies.
* GagBoobs: They are really big, especially in the anime.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Seems like they are on a bouncy castle at times. Most noticeable in the bath scene.
%%* GiantPoofySleeves
* GiftedlyBad: Saber adores the arts and considers herself to be a creative savant on par with Apollo, god of the arts. Unfortunately, all signs indicates that her talents were sub-par at best, even before she began to suffer migraines. Her egotism in this field can be best illustrated by the fact that she [[spoiler:built a personal theatre devoted specifically to her own performances, and when people started to leave in the middle of her first recital, she ordered the exits sealed.]] At one point she enthusiastically tells the protagonist about a play she wrote, and the plot is...[[StylisticSuck not very good]].
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{Nero]} was notorious for being a hated tyrant who lavished in excessive wealth and ruthlessly oppressed Christianity, but in the Nasuverse she was a kindhearted individual who loved everything in the world but demanded to be loved in kind, not realising that her love was selfish and could not get reciprocated. She fell into despair when her people did not rise to defend her against a coup d’etat, and committed suicide. TruthInTelevision as the real-life Nero was well-liked by his subjects, and [[https://www.livescience.com/64812-nero-emperor-reign-pbs.html some historians believe that the many accounts written about him may have been heavily exaggerated for propaganda purposes]]]].
** [[spoiler:[[WrittenByTheWinners Not very surprising, given that the Romans loved to talk shit about people they disliked whether it was other cultures, their neighbours, or politicians. And Rome’s emperors were no exception whatsoever.]]]]
* HistoricalGenderFlip: Her true identity is [[spoiler:Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 5th Emperor of the Roman Empire.]]
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: In the Fate/Extra universe, her reputation is similar to her real life counterpart, but it's noted that it's not exactly deserved, which makes her an InUniverse example.
* HotBlooded: If it's something that she's passionate of, then she will ''be'' passionate. Her art, her people's wellbeing, and her Master are things that usually give out this reaction. There's also her new skill in ''CCC'', Rose of Closure that Wins the Star;
--> *wall of fire explodes behind her* "My dear Praetor, I love you!"
* IdiotHair: As per Saberface tradition.
* InSeriesNickname: [[spoiler:"The Whore of Babylon"]] is a figure in [[Literature/TheBible The Book of Revelation]]. Many scholars attribute it to [[spoiler:Rome under the reign of Emperor Nero; since Christianity was persecuted. [[HistoricalVillainDowngrade This was downgraded to "discouraged religion"]] in the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}, but since Nero's a [[HistoricalGenderFlip woman]] here, it now refers to ''her.'']]
* InstantExpert: One of her skills allows her to temporarily become this for one other skill. Her Noble Phantasm is even more powerful, as it allows her to become one for multiple skills for as long as it's active.
* InterruptedIntimacy: [[spoiler:Her second Secret Garden event]]. You can thank Rin's phone call for that.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH0bO6tLzgU GRAND]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Though she does care about your well-being and can be pretty compassionate. Otherwise, she almost rivals [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gilgamesh]].
%%* KickingAssInAllHerFinery
* LargeHam: Its implied that this was how her people viewed her acting in her past life. She breaks out the ham occasionally during the War as well.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Saber, Everything is in Her Hand."
* LeotardOfPower: While at first her outfit looks as though she's giving the audience a perpetual PantyShot, it's not actually her panties we're seeing, but [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/303d0226.jpg a leotard]] that she wears under her dress.
* LightningBruiser: Her statline focuses on Strength, Defense, and to a lesser degree Agility the most of all the playable Servants in ''Extra'', with Magic being only viable for increase her magical defense. She is the easiest to play as because of this, and is very strong at the end of the game as a result.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: In spite of her slender build and D Rank Strength, she is incredibly powerful. Even when she was an ordinary human, she could wrestle and choke a lion to death with her bare hands.
* TheNapoleon: She dislikes being reminded of her height, especially if called little or petite.
* NiceGirl: Boastfulness aside she always shows respect to her master [[spoiler: and even comforts them when Shinji dies]]
* OverlyLongName: [[spoiler:Her full name, Nero Claudius Augustus Caesar Germanicus.]]
%%* PimpedOutDress
* {{Pride}}: She rivals ''Gilgamesh'' for the title of "biggest ego in the Nasuverse". It helps that in her case, she doesn't really seem to understand sarcasm and often manages to twist insults into praise for herself.
* RedOniBlueOni: Saber plays this role with Caster in the Omake that show up in the Type-Moon Ace magazine. In a meta sense, she's also the vain, selfish, exuberant red oni to the original Saber's stoic and self-abasing blue oni.
* SarcasmBlind: A lot of Archer's taunts bounce right off Saber since, as he notes, she has a tendency to read the situation at face value.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Unlike ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'''s Saber, who simply doesn't care if anyone happens to see her naked, this Saber isn't afraid to show some skin because she likes the attention. She [[{{Lampshaded}} lampshades]] this in ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'':
--> '''Taiga''': Um, your dress is see-through...\\
'''Saber''': Fool. It's not see-through, I'm ''letting'' people see. Plus, it's cool and breezy...\\
'''Taiga''': Your rear is half-exposed too!\\
'''Saber''': Save the ogling of me for later!
* SomethingAboutARose: They pop out during some of her skills and when she activates her Noble Phantasm.
* {{Stripperiffic}}:
** Her outfit does cover most of her, but it has a CleavageWindow and part of her skirt is transparent, showing her LeotardOfPower (which many players initially thought was a PantyShot).
** It is, however, rather revealing from the back, making this almost a case of SexyBacklessOutfit - almost her entire back is on display above the hips barring the back of the collar and a metal clasp in the small of her back. The back of the skirt actually starts low enough to show off some of the other kind of cleavage.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Saber will not be giddy over your coming through for her in week five, [[{{Tsundere}} not at all.]]
%%* {{Tsundere}}
* VerbalTic: Umu, an archaic variant of "yes" used mostly exclusively by royalty. This trait is shared with royalty Servants like Rama, Iskandar and Ozymandias, but MemeticMutation made the word immediately associated with Nero in the West. In the English Dub of ''Last Encore'', this is replaced with her frequently saying "Indeed".
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Saber does not like the heat in the 5th week Arena (which is a jungle), and expresses the desire to do this should the Item Shop sell bathing suits. In the sequel game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLxek6llm0o you can unlock a skimpy red swimsuit for her to wear]].
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Downplayed. She was very expressive about her tastes as an emperor, but even then she never had the opportunity to live the bridal life she always wanted (until CCC's Nero Ending) because she no one would accept her terms of allowing her to live a double life as a both a housewife and an emperor.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: While referring to the original Saber in passing, she remarks that in life she would also crossdress. However, this wasn't done in order to hide her gender, but rather because she simply liked it more and felt that gender was largely irrelevant. This turns out to be an InformedAttribute, since despite [[InsistentTerminology insisting that her dress is "male attire"]] she's never seen wearing male clothing.
* {{Yandere}}: Not nearly to same extent as Tamamo and the Alter-Egos, but she often tends to proclaim her love for Hakuno and gets very possessive of them [[{{Hypocrite}} despite being a self-admitted harem enthusiast]].

[[folder:Archer (Nameless)]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/JunichiSuwabe (Japanese), Creator/KaijiTang (English, Anime), Joaquín López (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_archer_fate_extra_5119.png]]

One of three Servants available to the protagonist. A red garbed Archer who fights with two blades, he's sarcastic and blunt, with an uncanny resemblance to a certain Archer [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight from a different Holy Grail War]].
----
* AbnormalAmmo: His bow shoots various {{Oddly Shaped Sword}}s as arrows.
* AbsoluteCleavage: His CCC new costume.
* AlternateSelf: He is an alternate version of Archer from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* AntiHero:
** Defines himself in this manner, noting that he has [[WouldHurtAChild killed children]] and ''innocent'' people in order to protect his ideal.
** In fact, his methods were ultimately what ended his life -- his best friend, concerned that he was on the path towards becoming a KnightTemplar and likely couldn't be persuaded otherwise, turned him in to the police for the various crimes he committed in the name of justice, and he plead guilty to all charges. [[{{Irony}} In the end, the human court system was what sealed his fate, not a glorious heroic death in battle.]]
* BeyondTheImpossible: [[spoiler:Lancer's Gae Bolg bends cause and effect so that it will always pierce the heart, making it impossible to dodge or block it. Yet Archer's Rho Aias can successfully stop it.]]
* {{BFS}}: The skill Caladbolg II/Fake Helix Sword has him firing a magical one. It also automatically inflicts ''Break'' against ''Guard.'' [[UpToEleven Oh, and it's the highest damage skill in the original Extra]], which is why "Caladbolg spam" is the main strategy for boss battles.
* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:The original ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' version of him and Rin can be fought as bosses in ''CCC''.]]
* BornUnlucky: To him, the Luck stat is the DumpStat to end all {{Dump Stat}}s. His life was not a particularly happy one either.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: He uses his bow a lot more than his counterpart does.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
%%* DarkSkinnedBlond
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: The female protagonist has the option of confronting him about his relationship with Rin. He denies any attraction to her, which is fine, but then follows it up by saying her figure isn't really what he considers his type either, apparently alluding to her rather flat and thin figure. The way he does this indicates attraction to the ''protagonist's'' body type, at which point he realizes he's falling directly into this and shuts up immediately.
* DualWielding: Kanshou and Bakuya, just like in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* DumpStat: Just like his ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, it's [[LuckStat Luck]]. Magic ''[[SubvertedTrope seems]]'' like this at first, as his physical attacks are often much stronger. However, the skill Caladbolg II's damage is boosted by the Magic stat and combined with the amplification from his Noble Phantasm, it can become enough to easily dispose of late game bosses (including the BonusBoss) if Archer's magic stat is sufficiently high enough.
** Not only does Archer [[LampshadeHanging lampshade just how bad his luck is]] during one conversation, Luck isn't just ''his'' slowest growing stat -- ''Archer's Luck is so bad it has the slowest growth rate of any stat for all playable Servants''.
* FieldOfBlades: [[spoiler:Unlimited Blade Works.]]
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: His Noble Phantasm is stated to reduce his Projection magic's MP cost to 0, but in gameplay boosts his skill damage and debuff rate instead.
* HasAType: He admits he's got a thing for strong-willed women.
* HeroicSacrifice: Unlike ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', the player can learn what exactly motivated him to make his contract to become a Counter Guardian. [[spoiler:The details may not be 100% clear, but it involved a nuclear reactor in the middle of melting down and having to run a very long way very fast, using up all his magic just to get there, and finding himself unable to stop it on his own.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He refuses to acknowledge that his antiheroic actions were actually appreciated by some people and did save lives.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With the male protagonist.
* HiddenDepths: He knows a surprising amount about vampires, which he reveals if you talk to him on the 4th week.
* JackOfAllStats: In ''Extra'', its encourged to balanced out putting points in most of his stats, as unlike the other two playable Servants, Archer needs a bit of everything to keep up with them. Offensively, he's more powerful when it comes to his physical attacks than Caster, and has better combo potential than Saber does skill wise. At the same time, both of them are much better than him when it comes to what their good at, namely Caster's skills allowing her to trap enemies, and Saber's straight up brawling.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rude and prone to snarking at the protagonist's expense, but he really is trying to help them out and his compliments tend to be sincere.
--> '''Protagonist''': ''My Servant may be pessimistic, cynical, and bitterly sarcastic, but at his core, he is a good person.''
* KnightInSourArmor: He shows compassion for the MC throughout the war but he doesn't fully grow out of this until the final week.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Archer, Nobody Knows Him/The Hero" (A remix of "Emiya" from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'').
* LighterAndSofter: Than his original portrayal in that [[spoiler:he found peace in his ideal and fate as a nameless hero and a Counter Guardian thanks to his character development in the story.]]
* LossOfIdentity: The reason he's treated as not just simply being called Emiya. Unlike the Heroic Spirit Emiya, who was a Counter Guardian who maintained his sense of self, this incarnation forsake his identity to become a hero, throwing it away in exchange for the power to help those in need. While he still is in a way Emiya, and has memories of his past life, having given up his name and identity, he no longer is considered as a person, and is thus called Nameless.
* MythologyGag: He's one huge repository of these. [[spoiler:He compares Shinji and Kotomine to their ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterparts, refers to encountering an invisible sword wielded by "her", and he even compares Alice to Ilya.]]
* PrinciplesZealot: What he believes himself to be during life, the principle in question being justice.
* {{Retcon}}: It is stated in side materials that it is impossible for Fate/Stay Night Archer to replicate Excalibur with projection. In ''CCC'', it was added as one of Archer's skills, and now you can potentially ''spam'' Excalibur Image with few ill effects (minus giant MP loss, of course). The only explanation is a handwave about the quality of wrought iron being higher in the Moon Cell. Said handwave was conceived because the development team had made the animation before consulting Nasu about it.
%%* TheSnarkKnight
%%* SarcasticDevotee
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: He projects all of his weapons whenever he needs them.
* SurvivorGuilt: The E-rank Matrix Event has Archer saying this word for word, and the protagonist musing this is why Archer's original self needed to be a selfless hero so much.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Archer throws Kanshou and Bakuya at the enemy when using the Wing of the Crane Skill, just like in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* TrueNeutral: InUniverse alignment, same as his ''F/SN'' counterpart. Likely a result of him being a Counter Guardian, as the job description is to ensure mankind's and the world's continued survival by trying to keep the balance between the two. Unlike with his original incarnation, he sticks to this goal and doesn't really deviate from his assignment.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Archer can get hit with this trope hard [[spoiler:if you decide to save Rani instead of Rin, which makes Rin your opponent in the 6th week. Archer becomes conflicted as he knew someone [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight very much like Rin]] during his life.]] Bonus points if you know of this ahead of time and do so on purpose.
* VigilanteMan: What he was in life.
%%* WhenHeSmiles
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Downplayed -- not evil, but an AntiHero, and quite sharp-tongued.
* WouldHurtAChild: He notes that he doesn't make a habit of killing kids, but doesn't say that he hasn't done it before. He ''does'' say that he has no problem with killing Alice, though.

[[folder:Caster]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/ChiwaSaito
[[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1caster_fate_extra_1099.png]]

One of three Servants available to the Protagonist. Caster is a playful and mischievous fox girl whose wish is to find someone to whom she can devote herself to entirely, namely the Protagonist. She models herself as a YamatoNadeshiko, but [[BeneathTheMask occasionally lets slip]] hints of a more [[TheTrickster devious]] and [[{{Yandere}} predatory]] personality.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Caster is far nicer here than how she is in her original legend. [[spoiler:Her true identity is Tamamo-no-Mae, a seductress who took sadistic pleasure in engulfing kingdoms in chaos with her wiles and magic. In the Nasuverse, she's a well-meaning but misguided avatar of Amaterasu who was chased out for being a fox instead of actually doing anything wrong. She only turned to evil out of self-defense against the tens of thousands of soldiers sent to kill her. At least, [[UnreliableNarrator that's what she says]], as Tamamo's sometimes psychotic possessiveness and unnerving original self call her interpretation into question.]]
* AmnesiacGod: During her life as a mortal [[spoiler:avatar of Amaterasu]] she was not aware of her true identity.
* AnimeAccentAbsence: Given Caster's age and the time period she came from, you would expect her to have something of an older accent. However, she speaks contemporary Japanese (when she isn't speaking GratuitousEnglish anyway).
* Anticlimax: When she reveals her identity to the protagonist she does it so casually that the protagonist takes a while to notice that she said her actual name instead of simply calling herself Caster.
* TheAtoner: Caster was once a bloodthirsty monster who tried to bring Japan to ruin, and though she still has some CuteAndPsycho and {{yandere}} moments she's trying to redeem herself and atone for her past sins.
* BeneathTheMask: Caster will let slip some [[CuteAndPsycho scary]] comments from time to time. Such as wondering ''out loud'' whether the cries of her opponent will be as good as the last ones.
* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:In ''CCC'', she is one as the servant of Twice.]]
* BrokenBird: Caster has one of the saddest backstories in the entire Nasuverse.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: She's quite the meta girl and refers to the T regulations preventing adult content and her own affection points at times.
* CannotKeepASecret: She's trying to keep her identity hidden, but she drops hints about who she is all the time. The main reason she revals her name is so that she simply doesn't have t bother hiding it
* ClingyJealousGirl: Shortly after rescuing either Rin or Rani, Caster begins practicing an apparently GroinAttack-based martial art ("Polygamist Castration Fist") while angrily shouting about how "other deities may allow harems, but never will I!" Perhaps fortunately, the protagonist is too innocent to pick up on the obvious implications, and manages to defuse the situation with a few sincere compliments about sticking to the fighting style that suits her best.
* CuteAndPsycho: Gives this vibe off at times, especially when she thinks she's being criticized.
* DeadpanSnarker: She can give off some good barbs depending on who's the subject of discussion.
--> Caster(in refence to Shinji): Smells like cheap cologn and desperation.
* DumpStat:
** Like all the Servants, she has essentially no use for luck or Agility and only needs strength for her Spirit Break ability. Even Defence gets little focus, which has some pretty [[GlassCannon obvious consequences]], though.
** She has an amazing growth rate in Magic, good growth rates in Luck and Agility, and godawful ones in Strength and Defence. After her Magic is maxed, it's generally a good idea to throw points into Defence to help her survive and lessen her damage from ''physical'' attacks, as well as to take advantage of the damage boost a higher Defence stat grants.
* {{Expy}}: Of Kohaku from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', more specifically, her Magical Amber persona.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A conversation while walking around the Arena on the first week has her saying that she feels nostalgic. [[spoiler:The last time she was there was as [[BigBad Twice]]'s Servant.]]
* GagBoobs: They're so huge in ''CCC'' that her costume looks like it's hanging on for dear life just holding them in.
%%* GenkiGirl
* GlassCannon: She can deal huge amounts of damage with her skills, but can't take much. You can make it outright impossible to advance past Karna in CCC if you don´t get enough Endurance, as he will one-shot you with [[FantasticNuke Vasavi Shakti]]. Her Mantra: Aphotic Cave skill helps, as it cuts damage from skills by 90% and restores MP. She also takes almost no damage from Magic skills, assuming her own Magic stat is high; it's mostly physical skills that will result in an instant game over if you don't see them coming.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her Origin outfit [[spoiler:identical to Amaterasu]] is this. Her other name taken from her more bestial form is Kojinki-Hakumen (Golden Fur, White Face).
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Her Servant Ending in ''CCC'' in the nutshell. In her attempt to save her Master from Moon Cell's deletion, she called up her full-powered nine tails form. Each tail gained sentience and became Alter Egos Tamamo 9, each wanting some of their Goshujin-sama. Caster, [[ClingyJealousGirl as expected]], cast the other eight to the Far Side, which they succeed in escaping, and they're now rampaging around the world looking for the traitorous original and the protagonist.]]
* GratuitousEnglish: This is taken to the point where Aksys actually translates one of her English lines ''into Japanese.''
* GroinAttack: Her ultimate attack skills in Fate/Extra CCC, deal critical damage against male enemy.
* Hypocrite: Considering her hatred of Harems and Polygamy she's certinally enthusiastic when it comes time for her to have sex with Rin to establish a mana link between them
* HypocriticalHumor: In Fox Tail she beats up Gawain and Shinji for attempting to peek on the girls hotsprings..... while she's in the middle of doing the same thing to the guys.
* IAmWho: During her life as a mortal, she was unaware of her identity as a fox spirit until one day she woke up with fox ears.
* IHatePastMe: Caster is deeply ashamed of her past as a villainous monster, and goes out of her way to try to avoid relapsing into that state -- dismissing her original self as a sadistic {{yandere}}. [[spoiler:One of the bonus bosses of CCC is Caster when she was Twice's Servant. If you also have Caster as your Servant, it quickly shows that the two don't get along even though they're technically the same person. In her last Secret Garden, Caster's original self also expresses contemptuous disgust towards her Servant incarnation.]]
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSzeWcja3kQ Hana arashi no Ki]]
%%* ImpossiblyLowNeckline
* ImprobableWeaponUser: She wields a MagicMirror in melee.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:This is the reason Tamamo left her Celestial dwelling and ventured out into the world. She saw how happy serving her made the people and wanted to experience the same thing.]]
* {{Keigo}}: Caster can say some [[DoubleEntendre pretty raunchy things]] from time to time, but she always says it ''politely''.
* {{Kitsune}}: She has the ears and tail of a fox, and her true identity is that of [[spoiler:[[http://edb.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/exhibit-e/otogi/tamamo/tamamo.html Tamamo-no-Mae]], the evil nine-tailed fox spirit who won the favour of Emperor Toba as a beautiful and knowledgeable courtesan in 12th century Japan. However, she's also an incarnation of the solar goddess Amaterasu, which makes her far more powerful than a normal kitsune.]]
* KungFuWizard: Aside from some jokes about her infamous "Polygamist Castration Fist," averted in the original game, though CCC adds it in as an actual attack. In ''Fox Tail'', she is able to take Suzuka Gozen on in a fist fight.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Caster, Extra Life With Anyone She Wants", which has samples from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'''s gallery menu BGM (Oh, and said gallery menu is named [[IncrediblyLamePun Extras]]).
* LittleBitBeastly: She has fox ears and a fox tail. [[spoiler:Her full-powered form is a giantess with nine fiery fox-tails.]]
* LittleMissAlmighty: [[spoiler:As a facet of Amaterasu, the Japanese Sun goddess, it fits.]]
* MagicMirror: Her melee weapon of choice.
* MagikarpPower: Starts out as the weakest Servant, but can deal astounding amounts of damage late in the game, completely lock down almost any move the opponent makes or counter anything your opponent does. However, the way she does this makes her incredibly vulnerable to opponents such as Rani's Berserker, who has skills that check against Tamamo's defense stat instead of magic and are preceded by 'Wait' moves, which keeps Caster from preventing them with stun. She also has the lowest HP of all playable Servants, to the point where she won't break 1000 HP until level 20, which means her margin for error against enemy programs (let alone bosses) is very limited.
* MarryThemAll: In the Fox Tail manga, she says she invented [[HGamePOVCharacter Polygamist]] [[GroinAttack Castration]] [[FantasticFightingStyle Fist]] to "[[DefiedTrope destroy the harem ending]]."
* MediumAwareness: Unfortunately, she knows that she is in a game only rated "T".
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler:Uses the Moon Cell to summon her other 8 Tails as servants so they can save their master in her CCC Servant ending.]]
* MsFanservice: Her [[http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/File:CasterCCC.png Fate/Extra CCC]] outfit leaves little doubt to this claim.
* MythologyGag: Whether she is talking about her E-mail buddy [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyohime Kiyohime]] or asking for Aburaage (which is the Bakitsune equivalent of catnip), Caster is full of them.
* NeutralEvil: InUniverse alignment. Unlike the more questionable alignments of the other two playable Servants, this one is pretty obvious so long as you pay attention to the hints of obsession and craziness.
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: In her backstory, she became intrigued with humans since she isn't quite one herself and decided to try living among them and serving them. However, [[spoiler:humans don't want that from the gods. Despite being harmless, she was hunted down when her identity was uncovered and despite asking to simply be allowed to leave in peace armies kept pursuing her, which she destroyed before finally falling in battle. Not a very good track record there, Amaterasu.]]
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:Twice's Caster acts much more serious than your Caster even though they have the same identity...until you defeat them, in which after Twice declares they must leave and does so himself, his Caster drops completely down the maturity scale.]]
* PantyShot: Thanks to the [[MaleGaze camera angles]]. [[spoiler:They're black.]]
* PaperTalisman: Her ''Curse:'' Skills have her throw one at her enemy.
* PowerLimiter:
** Being summoned as a Legendary Soul actually ''decreases'' her power, since [[spoiler:as a facet of Amaterasu, her full power would be on par with, ''[[UpToEleven if not greater than]]'' the Big Three of the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}.]] Being summoned as the Servant of a pure-hearted Master means she doesn't have access to her darker powers either. The in-game text states that if she were not a Servant, her Noble Phantasm would actually allow her to ''bring the dead back to life.''
** She seems even weaker than regular Servants, which she {{Handwave}}s as a result of being summoned in the Caster class, universally considered the weakest of the seven Servant classes. [[spoiler:The truth is that Caster is deliberately holding back her own power because the last time she used her seduction magic, she got betrayed and slaughtered by 80,000 soldiers]].
* PowerPerversionPotential: If playing as female Hakuno she comments that if she begins to get to unconfortable with being with a female then she's use her magic to "fix' that. It's also impried that her shape shifting skills can also be used to make her breast's bigger but she isn't willing to do it.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: As a Servant, she changes her temperament to suit her current Master. Her actual personality is more in line with a nagging, stingy housewife.
* RedOniBlueOni: Caster plays this role with Saber in the Omake that show up in the Type-Moon Ace magazine.
* RetiredMonster: As revealed in Tamamo's third Secret Garden, [[spoiler:with all nine tails her original self was an arrogant, bloodthirsty, and sadistic monster. As a Servant, Tamamo cut off all but one of her tails and seeks to redeem herself by becoming a good wife, though she occasionally lapses into {{yandere}} moments; and if she regains all her tails or is summoned by an evil master -- like Twice -- she will revert to her evil self.]]
* RoseHairedSweetie: The protagonists even lampshade this when they realize they could have guessed her personality from her hair.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Her relationship with her Master is this. When the protagonist mostly has existential crisis over the slaughter that is Holy Grail War, she keeps up the cheerful front to keep their spirits up, encouraging them with not-so-subtle flirting. [[spoiler:From the bonus boss fight against her when she's still Twice's Servant, though she's more solemn than her present self, Twice thinks that she's sacrificing her own happiness and original personality too much to support his gloomy self.]]
* SayItWithHearts: Notably, she's the only one to do this in the whole game.
%%* SexyBacklessOutfit
* {{Sizeshifter}}: [[spoiler:Full-powered Caster is ''much'' larger than mortals.]]
* {{Stripperiffic}} Her default outfit dropes so low that it's a mirical that it doesn't fall off of her chest and constantly gives off panty shots.
%%* SupernaturalGoldEyes
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: It is said that if she is summoned by someone with an evil heart, she will [[spoiler:kill one hundred heroes and become one of the three great disasters of Japan. Reacquiring her missing tails will also restore her full power and cause her to relapse into her evil ways.]]
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:Briefly appears silhouetted in the anime during Twice's flashbacks]].
* TheTease: She's foxy in one way or another. After all, teasing one's husband is a wife's duty, too.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She stops herself from doing it earlier on, but after you learn her true name, she does this all the time in the private room.
* {{Tsundere}}: During some of her Servant Matrix events, especially when it involves other girls like Rin.
* UnreliableNarrator: Caster's backstory claims that [[spoiler:she was simply intrigued with humans and simply wanted to harmlessly live among them and serve them, being framed for trying to assassinate Emperor Toba and unjustly executed for crimes she didn't commit... but Caster's CuteAndPsycho tendencies and occasional slips of the tongue, Twice's evil Caster, and Konjiki Hakumen -- Tamamo's malevolent original self -- indicate there's more truth to the story of the evil Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that tried to plunge Japan into chaos than Caster wants to let on.]]
* UselessUsefulSpell: Zig-zagged throughout the game:
** Played straight when you first acquire her various ''Curse'' skills, they seem like the perfect way to speed up dungeon crawling... except that Caster will quickly run out of MP. Unless you're playing on Easy mode (which gives you access to fountains that restore both a Master and Servant's HP and MP), you'll quickly run out of MP and facing the problem of MagicIsRareHealthIsCheap. Even if you're on a New Game Plus and have access to the Formal Wear that allows you to restore a Servant's MP, the only MP-restoring items available until the sixth day of the third week restore a Master's MP by a whopping ''two'' and ''three'' MP per item. It costs 60 MP to restore a "moderate" amount of your Servsnt's MP via Code Cast... enjoy those 20 Yakisoba Breads.
** ''Charm: Spirit Theft'' allows Caster to steal MP whenever using the ''Break'' command, but it also costs 20 MP per use, so she needs to absorb ''at least'' 20 MP for the skill to be profitable... and then not die in the process. Go ahead, spam ''Break'' so Caster can fill up her MP. With her [[LampshadeHanging notably poor defence and HP]], what's the worst that could happen? It's not a bad option, but maximizing the MP gain from the skill typically means dragging out a fight as long as possible versus an enemy program, which makes the already tedious LevelGrinding even more so, particularly since Caster's melee damage is low and her ''Curse'' skills are the best way for her to deal with mooks.
** Subverted once you've earned enough skill points to unlock ''Breath of the Soul'', a passive skill that automatically restores 10% of Caster's maximum MP after a battle. Coincidentally, by the time you have the points to unlock the skill, Caster will have at least 300 MP, meaning her ''Curse'' skills are now free: at 30 MP each, she can use one against enemy programs while dungeon crawling and will have the MP restored after the battle. Hallelujah! (And since her MP growth is so high, as Caster continues to level up, she can easily restore 40+ MP via her passive.)
** Arguably played completely straight with her final skill, however, which costs 80 MP, deal's heavy damage , and has a chance to inflict Poison for ''six turns''. Unfortunately, it can only be used when Caster's HP is at 30 percent or lower (which is the point at which her HP bar begins flashing red) and it's [[SquishyWizard very difficult to lower Caster's HP to that point without bypassing the red zone for a Game Over]]. Since most players typically use an item or Code Cast to Heal during turns when it's likely their Servant will take heavy damage, this makes achieving the requisite low health even more of a gamble: you not only need Caster's HP to be lowered, but you also have to be certain it won't actually hit zero at the end of the turn, deliberately forgoing healing just so you have the option of using Land of Eternal Bane ... or you could follow the standard plan of stun-locking bosses and enemies, which is where Caster excels. It doesn't help that a translation error states that the skill requires Caster's HP to be ''above'' 30%, leading many players to cast the skill at full health and then helplessly watch as Caster did nothing, the word "FAILED" appeared, and the boss attacked.
* VocalDissonance: The perky GenkiGirl falsetto quickly drops to much crasser husky depths whenever she gets peeved.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:Tamamo actually fought in a previous Holy Grail War, her master then was ''[[BigBad Twice H. Pieceman]]''.]]
* WillfullyWeak: Refuses to make use of her witchcraft or shapeshifting abilities, which are ranked EX and A respectively. You'd think she would at least agree to shapeshift enough to hide the ears and tail.
* WorthyOpponent: She has a tendency to trash talk all your opponents, but she has to admit that Dan Blackmore is a pretty good guy. Normally, she'd also find Arcueid a worthy opponent since they're so similar, but she's stuck in the role of Berserker.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Downplayed. Caster carries herself in this manner and her desire to be a good wife is as [[HiddenDepths genuine]] as it gets. She can also [[BeneathTheMask be pretty scary at times]] showing she is not an ExtremeDoormat but instead possessing a will of her own. However she has a pretty [[DoubleEntendre dirty mouth]] and yet it's always so ''politely'' dirty.

%%* AbsoluteCleavage
* AffablyEvil: Nicer than her Master is. [[JerkAss Not that that's a hard thing to do.]]

* BerserkButton: ''Fate/EXTRA'' material mentions that she can get truly angry if you were to call [[spoiler:Golden Hind by its original name, "Pelican".]]

** [[spoiler:There's also a possible subversion of this, since the Japanese version of the game hints that she's not actually Francis Drake, but Queen Elizabeth in disguise. However, this seems to be a case of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness since this concept has never been brought up again and ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' gives a different reason for why she was recorded as male.]]

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_archer_extra_4802.png]]

A chivalrous outlaw thief who relies on guerrilla tactics such as [[CombatPragmatist preemptive strikes, traps and poison]]. Though he bitterly complains that he is unable to win in a fair fight, it is hinted that his true desire is to leave the shadows of the forest and be acknowledged and thanked as a hero.

----
* AdaptationalBadass: Due to his master becoming [[AdaptationalVillainy more villainous]] in the anime, Archer is much more fearsome and dangerous compared to the game. This is of course due to not being forced to have a PowerLimiter placed on him by his Master, allowing him to fight at full power.
* ArcherArchetype: He is an Archer class Servant, and he's pretty much the first one seen to rely on his bow. He's also pretty independent, as shown by [[spoiler:his ambush of the protagonist on campus]], which was not ordered by his Master.
* CombatPragmatist: Traps, ambushes, poisons -- if it helps him win, he'll do it. [[spoiler:Though he's always wanted to fight fairly at least once in his life.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: It seems to be a requirement of the Archer class.
* {{Expy}}: His backstory, [[spoiler:specifically selflessly protecting everyone around him and ultimately being betrayed by them]] is very similar to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight another Archer's]] and his role as a LegacyCharacter who has his own identity forgotten is very similar to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Assassin's]].
%%* FaceDeathWithDignity
* HeroWithBadPublicity: In his backstory.
* InvisibilityCloak: One of his Noble Phantasms, ''The Faceless King: No Face May King''. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation It has a different effect when used as a skill in-game]].
* JustLikeRobinHood: [[spoiler:As expected, as he is the man himself.]] Archer gave BB’s SG after barely surviving Meltryllis’s encounter so the protagonist will have an advantage against the overly powerful BB.
* LegacyCharacter: One of many who used the identity of "Myth/RobinHood".
* MutuallyExclusivePowerUps: In the Last Encore anime, it's stated that he can't use ''[[InvisibilityCloak The Faceless King: No Face May King]]'' and ''[[PopGoesTheHuman Yew Bow: Bow of Prayer]]'' at the same time.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:During his life he fought for the people of his village, whom rewarded him with betrayal after betrayal. Despite all this, he still fought for them, as it was the right thing to do.]] It sucks being an Archer in the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: He’s usually very laid-back, so when he goes as far as being verbally and physically abusive to Passionlip, it tips everyone off to just what’s wrong with the Alter Ego as previously Alice and Caster also bullied her too cruelly for their standards.
* PeekABangs: His hair covers one eye but not the other, symbolic of his guerrilla combat style.
* PoisonedWeapons: His arrows are coated with yew tree toxin.
* PopGoesTheHuman: One of his Noble Phantasms, ''Yew Bow: Bow of Prayer'', causes impurities in his target's body (such as poison from his arrows) to violently detonate with explosive force. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation In the game]], it only increases damage inflicted by a preexisting poison effect and [[UselessUsefulSpell fails completely if your Servant isn't poisoned when he uses it]].
* PowerLimiter: [[spoiler:Due to his under-handed tactics, his stats got decreased [[NoFairCheating due to his breaking of the rules]]. Due to his Master's HonorBeforeReason and the rules of this Grail War, he is forced into a one-vs-one duel rather than his preferred [[CombatPragmatist fighting style]]. As a result, he never stood a chance and we never got to see Archer's full power.

An irregular Servant who bears an appearance identical to her Master's. This is because she is not a specific individual with their own identity, but a manifestation of the love of children towards the nursery rhyme genre, effectively making them a "hero of children". The Servant itself is a kind of pseudo-Reality Marble that reflects the true feelings of the one who summons it, creating a Servant in the image that their Master imagines.

----
* AliceAllusion: For the same reasons as her Master.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler:Her true identity is Nursery Rhyme, a personification of children's stories such as ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''.]]
%%* CreepyChild
* CreepyTwins: Pulls off the act with her Master.
%%* DarkMagicalGirl
* DegradedBoss: In ''CCC'', she is faced as a random encounter in [[spoiler:Meltryllis's dungeon]] later on in the game.
* DemotedToExtra: In ''Last Encore'', she only appears once in the series due to the fact that [[spoiler:Alice's transformation stripped her of her human form, leaving her as a nondescript book trying to help Alice with her Noble Phantasms.]]
* DissonantSerenity: She talks about IronicNurseryTune with the same cheerfulness as when she’s playing with her Master, but it’s nothing like when [[spoiler:Meltryllis tore her apart and sent her Master comatose]]; she uses non-threatening phrases like “Welcome,” or “Let’s play,” while engaging in battle, laughs when damaged by skills, and mutters “Sweet dreams" when defeated. As there’s a lot of her in that floor, the best way to describe her predicament is a BrokenRecord.
* ElegantGothicLolita: She wears black and pink in contrast to her Master.
* EmpathicShapeshifter: [[spoiler:Caster changes form depending on the Master who summoned her.]]
* LossOfIdentity: [[spoiler:Caster's Reality Marble, the Nameless Forest, causes people to forget their names, their sense of self and then, [[RetGone that they ever existed]]]].
* MesACrowd: In ''CCC'', [[spoiler:until you do Alice’s last will]], her countless [[spoiler:ghost]] copies replace every enemy program on the floor.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Appropriately enough for a Caster-class servant.
* NurseryRhyme: All her Matrix entries except two are done in nursery rhyme. She also utters a few of her own creation.
* OffWithHisHead: She talks about doing this four times (including optional scenes), all in relation to you and[=/=]or your Servant. Two of those times, she quotes the trope-naming line.
* OneSteveLimit: Caster is based on ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', which gives us such gems as ''"That's Alice, and I'm Alice."'' and ''"I am Alice, the Servant of Alice."'' RainbowSpeak is an early indicator that the two are different.
* TimeLimitBoss:
** Not a clock-based time limit, but if the battle drags on, Caster will use her Noble Phantasm, which not only damages you but fully restores her HP, essentially resetting the battle. Oh, and the effect [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard activates between turns]], so there's no way to stop it.
*** In the anime, [[spoiler:this renders Alice undefeatable unless she decides not to activate it.]]
** This particular facet makes her an extreme case of PuzzleBoss: looking into the Phantasm's description [[spoiler:lets you know that she simply repeats the exact same 8-turn move sequence over and over with no deviation between Noble Phantasm activations]].
* WeakButSkilled: Every single one of her stats is [[RankInflation Rank E]]. She balances this out with a plethora of high ranked skills [[spoiler:and a Reality Marble]].

A deranged individual who shares his Master's twisted notions of love. Though he had been noble and dedicated to the cause of protecting his nation in life, he became infamous for his excessively brutal methods, which eventually led to his people turning against him. Dying in despair, he questioned why his sincere efforts had been rewarded by betrayal, and lost his sanity. He's ''not'' a vampire.

* FangsAreEvil: His canines are visibly long and sharp, like [[spoiler:a vampire's fangs]].
* FieldOfBlades: A field of spears comes out when he uses his Noble Phantasm.
* GracefulLoser: Enough of one that it becomes [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness jarring]] since he's so hammy everywhere else.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: InUniverse, and it literally changes his appearance and abilities to match the common perception of him, represented on his Matrix as the Seraphic Monstrosity ability.
* HumansAreSpecial: His dying speech makes that certainly clear, where he finally acknowledges Ronnie's monstrous nature but, because she is ultimately human, even after death her soul can be saved and any wrongdoing can be atoned for in Purgatory. Would almost count as a moment of heartwarming if not for Ronnie's insane complaints about Lancer dying and not leaving behind a body to eat.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He loves it so much, his Ceremonial Purge skill involves doing it to himself. Strangely, it only damages your Servant. [[spoiler:His Noble Phantasm even has the title of Fortress of Impalement.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: He believes all humans are.

!!!Master: Monji Gatou | Voiced by: Creator/RyokaYuzuki
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_berserkerarc_extra_4455.png]]

Supposedly a blood-sucking demon who is worshipped as a god by her Master, she is in fact a True Ancestor, a demon inherently connected to the Earth. Her current state is due to her Master lacking the ability to handle or even comprehend her true form, forcing her into the Berserker class. While the Berserker class increases her raw statistics, it has sealed many of the abilities that would otherwise make her a GameBreaker.

----
* AdaptedOut: Never appears in the anime.
* AlternateSelf: She is an alternate version of Arcueid Brunestud from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: By having Berserker's passive Mad Enhancement. [[spoiler:After she is defeated and Gatou is deleted (breaking the Master/Servant link), she returns to normal and is quite friendly towards the Protagonist.]]
* ColonyDrop: Her ''Blut die Schwester'' conjures an illusion of the Crimson Moon.
* FemmeFatalons: She can extend her fingernails into blood-red claws.
* GodGuise: Her Master proclaims her to be a true god. She is more of a natural phenomenon, comparable to a tornado or earthquake.
* MismatchedEyes: She has one red iris and one purple iris.
* NoSell: Of course ''the Moon'' doesn't delete her if she loses. [[spoiler:She's a perfect copy of [[EldritchAbomination Type Moon]], after all]].
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: She is the most powerful True Ancestor in existence.
* PowerLimiter: Not only does being a Berserker reduce her overall capabilities, but her Master's incompetence reduces her abilities even further! Even her [[PowerBornOfMadness Mad Enhancement/Blind Rage]] skill has been reduced in effectiveness, giving her all the drawbacks of Rank A but only the benefits of Rank C.
* PowerBornOfMadness: She's a Berserker and trades away sanity for power, but because Gatou is both incompetent and doesn't even understand what Arcueid is she has the effects on her mind of rank A while only getting a level C powerup.
* TheSpeechless: Thanks to Mad Enhancement, she's rendered unable to speak coherently. She's silent in all scenes until the post arena dialogue.
* SkywardScream: Upon using ''Blut die Schwester'', she leans back and lets out a howl.
* UnskilledButStrong: While true of the Berserker class in general, because of her masters lack of skill and understanding, she's not as strong as she could be. All she gets is a slight increase in power compared to other Berserkers, and most of her skills are sealed as a result. Despite this, her natural power is enough that she can easily pose a threat, and the small boost in stats makes her able to kill enemies with just pure strength alone.

A Chinese martial artist whose skill in the art of Bājí Quán was so advanced that it was said he could slay any opponent with a single blow. Though he is famed as a Lancer, his Master elected to summon a younger version for compatibility, and for his Servant's ferocity and unquestioning impulse to fight during his youth.

* OneHitKill: Despite his reputation, [[CutscenePowerToTheMax the only time he gets to do this is in cutscenes]], unless you made your Servant into a GlassCannon. During the battle with him it has an HPToOne effect instead, taking off 90% of your Servant's current HP if it hits.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Red-eyed and ''very'' deadly.
* RuleOfThree: It takes three attempts to [[spoiler:nullify his ''Concealment'' skill: the first two traps made to disable electronic devices and interfere with thaumaturgy respectively fail, but the third trap disrupts his chi and reveals him]].
* ScreamingWarrior: [[spoiler:After he's brought back as a Berserker.]]
* SquareRaceRoundClass: While his hand-to-hand combat skills fit the Assassin class container, under normal circumstances he ''shouldn't'' be able to be summoned as the container is normally restricted to the nineteen Hassan-i-Sabbah. As the least combat oriented class, Assassin also should have no business going hand-to-hand against Saber-class Servants, who are considered the ''strongest'' Servants in close combat, and ''winning.''
* TouchOfDeath: His famous quip about not knowing what it's like to hit a man twice is the biggest clue to his identity.
* WeakButSkilled: Makes up for his rather low stats (save for an A Rank AGI) with his unique [[spoiler:''Sphere Boundary''[=/=]''Concealment'' and ''Chinese Martial Arts''[=/=]''Liuhe Quan'' skills, ranked [[RankInflation A and A+++]] respectively]].

!!!Master: Rin Tousaka | Voiced by: Creator/NobutoshiCanna
[[quoteright:136:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_lancer_extra_3183.png]]

An Irish demigod hero, and {{Expy}} of Lancer from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Much like his counterpart, he's cocky, aggressive and a womanizer.

His Noble Phantasm is the spear Gae Bolg, which instantly pierces the target's heart and then [[RealityWarper reverses cause and effect]] to create a reason for it.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: In the anime. Rin mentions her Servant was taken but she still possesses Command Seals, implying that she ether did lose him, but in a way where she can retrieve him, or is lying in order to make her way up the floors.

A Chinese military commander infamous for his many betrayals. His military acumen and mastery of weaponry is so great that it would [[TheAce allow him to be summoned as any class within the Holy Grail War]] with the exception of Saber and Caster.

----

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:During his HeroicSacrifice to save Rani and the protagonist]].

A knight of the Round Table, known as the "Knight of the Sun" and counterpart to King Arthur. Having regretted his decisions in life, in which his personal failings led to the downfall of his king, Gawain hopes to restore his honor by serving Leonard Harway unquestioningly as "the perfect knight".
----

* HourOfPower: Between 9AM and 12 noon, and 3PM and 6PM, his power increases threefold, represented by the Numeral of the Saint ability. In gameplay terms, you can't damage him at all and must find some way of nullifying this ability or it's game over.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: The way he puts the duty placement between him and your Servant makes him seemingly belittling you. It’s only when both Leo and Julius apologize for his tactless manner he realizes it.
* ItsAllMyFault: Believes his hatred for [[spoiler:Lancelot]] caused [[spoiler:the fall of Camelot]].
%%* KnightInShiningArmor
* LethalChef: His cooking is so horrid, Leo forbids him from for touching the kitchenware ever again. It implied that the reason why [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Arthur]] is such a glutton is because she put up with his foods in their Round Table time.

* RuleOfThree: His Numeral of the Saint ability triples his strength during three-hour periods.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: Excalibur Galatine is supposed to be the equal of Excalibur, which is basically the most powerful directly damaging Noble Phantasm out there not named Ea. It should reduce you to dust, but what it actually does is just sort of hurt. Toss your Servant an Ether Crystal and they'll be good as new.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Whenever Gawian actives his Noble Phantasm, ''Excalibur Galatine: The Reborn Sword of Victory'', he always makes a habit of tossing up Galatine high into the air as it charges up and somehow managing to catch it after getting fully charged.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Thinks of his actions in life along these lines, and unlike most examples he resolved to be ''lawful'' and obey his Master without any question whatsoever, in order to repent for his grudges getting in the way of his duty towards the king. Archer and Saber will both call him out for this in different ways - Archer thinks he is LawfulStupid and Saber thinks he is an insult to knights. Caster merely thinks he swore his loyalty to someone unworthy of being called a king in the first place.
* TrashTalk: [[http://i.imgur.com/GM5Ls.png He's kind of a dick to his enemies]]. He's not even good at it. However, according to materials released....

!!!Master: Twice H. Pieceman | Voiced by: Creator/HideyukiTanaka (Drama CD)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_servant_saver_3400.png]]

A celestial being summoned from the records of the Moon Cell by Twice H. Pieceman to act as the strongest Servant and free humanity from suffering. His exact identity is unclear during the game itself, but supplementary materials reveal him to be the Buddha. The Protagonist speculates that Savior does not agree with Pieceman's philosophy of endless war, but agreed to aid him as a way of showing mercy and compassion to Twice's tortured soul. Savior acts as the final boss of the game.

----
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Even though he doesn't support Twice's ideals, he's just being compassionate towards the soul of the original Twice]].
* FinalBoss: Of the first game.
* FinalBossPreview: Downplayed in the Last Encore anime. The ActionPrologue shows [[FirstEpisodeTwist Savior defeating Female Hakuno and the playable Saber]], but [[spoiler:when Male Hakuno and Saber arrive at the Moon Cell core, Savior has long abandoned the place, and only his TimeLimitBoss Noble Phantasm remains with Twice's Dead Face to oppose the protagonists]].
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he [[EyesAlwaysShut opens his eyes]] to glare at his opponents, and looks rather menacing that way.
* InvincibleVillain: In Extra Materials, the final showdown is described as Hakuno simply talking Twice down, implying any notion of actually defeating Savior to be ridiculous. Appropriately, his profile shows us exactly why: He's got martial arts at a higher level than [[WeakButSkilled Li Shuwen]], reduces all damage taken by an amount equivalent to his max health, reduces his enemies' stats dramatically by just being in their presence, and his Noble Phantasms are ludicrously powerful.
* LastOfHisKind: ''And'' also the first. A Character Materials entry released for ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' relevant to [[spoiler:Solomon]] mentions that he is the only human to ever achieve enlightenment.
* LightIsGood: Everything that he does, he does out of compassion.
* MartialPacifist: He is always meditating, even in battle, and his attacks are all projectiles he waves gently with his hands.
* MythologyGag: In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the original version of Saber]] was called Saver.
* NiceGuy: [[spoiler:Given how he's ''the Buddha'', did you expect anything else]]?
* OneHitKill: His Noble Phantasm, [[spoiler:''Amita Amitabha: Transmigration into One'']].
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:As a Boddhisattva, he is a god of cosmic proportions, capable of governing the Solar System easily, and is one of the Vajra holders in heaven]].
* PowerLimiter: Since he's the Buddha, he's far and away stronger than any other Servant in the game by a country mile, but it's implied that he doesn't have access to much of his power due to being in a Servant container, plus he's not really trying to begin with.
* PunchClockVillain: [[spoiler:He's only working with Twice out of pity]].
%%* SupernaturalGoldEyes: When he is serious.
* TimeLimitBoss: During the fight, he will charge his Transmigration into One attack. Every two turns, one light will shine on his Mandala; if he lights all seven mirrors, he delivers a OneHitKill, instant Game Over.
* WillfullyWeak: He has access to some rather broken skills that make him more or less untouchable, but they don't appear to be in effect during the boss fight, meaning his "defeat" was not due to his opponent's strength, but rather because the Protagonist is able to tell Twice off.

[[quoteright:244:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_kotomineextra_6030.png]]

A man dressed in the robes of a priest. He acts as the overseer of the Holy Grail War, providing information to the Masters, enforcing the rules and occasionally providing challenges. In sharp contrast with his priestly attire, he has a very abrasive personality and almost seems to enjoy the death and destruction caused by the Holy Grail War. It is said that he is based on the data of a previous Master who competed in the Holy Grail War.

----
* AscendedExtra: He plays a slightly more important role in ''CCC''. It's not so much of being more important as being talkative and seeable everyday and providing insight on what is going on. [[spoiler:He even gains a Servant, Lancer, and becomes an optional boss]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Kirei Kotomine in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. He's snide, a former Master turned overseer of the Holy Grail War and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking loves mapo tofu]].

[[quoteright:163:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_sakura_extra_6231.png]]

An AI created by the Moon Cell who works in the Nurse's Office. She provides medical care and healing supplies to Masters, and her homemade lunches are some of the most valuable and effective healing items in the game. Unlike her ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, Sakura has long hair reaching down to her knees and is a lot more assertive. Despite sharing the same surname as Shinji, they are not related; though she plays the role of his little sister in the LotusEaterMachine prologue.

''CCC'' greatly expands her role, making her one of the central characters in the plot.

----
* AlmightyJanitor: ''CCC'' reveals that she [[spoiler:eventually takes ''charge of the entire Moon Cell''. However, she only has a certain amount of control and the one in charge is still the Moon Cell.]]
* ArtificialIntelligence: Designed as one by the Moon Cell in order to have her properly take care of patients. It leads her to falling in love with the Protagonist and eventually to the events of ''CCC''.
* AscendedExtra: In ''CCC'', she has a much larger role.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:The entire plot of CCC happens because she falls in love with the protagonist because s/he's the only one who visit her in the infirmary not only because to get her weekly item in ''Extra''. When she grows feverish in the shoes locker as the Moon Cell tries to delete that "alien" emotion and no one helps her, the protagonist is the only one who who says "Are you okay?" and that one act anchors her grip on her own consciousness, and drives her to save the protagonist from their inevitable fate of deletion at the end of ''Extra''.]]
* BecomeARealBoy: [[spoiler:In the CCC Route Ending. Where she also gains a human body by using the Moon Cell.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She seems a bit eager to punish the offender who messed with the bulletin board in the 6th week.
* ButtMonkey: In the ''Teach Me Blossom-sensei'' omake series where not only is her status as a side character in the original game mercilessly lampshaded to heck here, but even after it was revealed in the final omake that [[spoiler:she upgraded herself to a "boss character", orchestrated Archer's amnesia from the start, and even went as far as to kidnap both main characters in an attempt to usurp their position as protagonist, the three playable Servants still ended up [[CurbStompBattle kicking her ass anyway with little effort]].]] It's so bad that even Saber and Archer couldn't help but feel only pity for her (and even then, along with Caster, would always end up ignoring her anyway for the most part), and Sakura goes so far to admit that she's practically given up trying to surpass Rin in terms of popularity. Girl just can't catch a break.
* CovertPervert: [[spoiler:After the Magic Circuit Repair scene]].
* DemotedToExtra: In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', she was one of the main heroines, now, she's just a NPC.
* RapunzelHair: [[UpToEleven Goes down to her]] ''[[UpToEleven ankles]]!'' Probably a nod to Rider from ''stay night''.

----
* AlternateUniverse: She's from one, namely the ''Kara no Kyoukai'' timeline.
* BloodKnight: If you manage to beat her, she says she'll be happy to fight someone as strong as you again.
* BonusBoss: Only fought in a NewGamePlus playthrough, and she is entirely optional ''for a good reason''.
* InstantWinCondition: If she Seals all your actions, she'll OneHitKill you.
* KnifeNut: Her main weapon is a ''Nata'' knife.
* LuckBasedMission: Her fight has a strong luck component to it, which isn't helped by the sheer length of it. In particular, she has two skills that basically cause a Caster to lose instantly by either dealing well over your max HP in a single hit with Twin Towers or sealing all your skills for the rest of the match with Suspended Esoterica. Because there is no guaranteed indication of when she will use either, if you're unlucky you can easily lose at any time. Furthermore, Caster's stunning attacks do not work consistently on Ryougi, forcing the player to use a different and more SP intensive playstyle to avoid poor luck.
* MagicalEye: The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, of course.
* MythologyGag: Boundary of the Void is a viable English translation of ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''.
* NothingPersonal: She says this word for word if you decide to fight her. She only wants to return home and has to kill 100 Servants to do it. She leaves the Masters alone, though they're unlikely to last long.
* OutOfCharacter: Ryougi Shiki is not okay with killing at all despite her constant desire to do it. However, she has killed close to two hundred people considering the death of the Servant kills the Master as well. She would despise a person who committed this kind of slaughter.
* TookALevelInBadass: From just being able to fight Servants defensively at her strongest to being able to kill almost a hundred of them.
* StandardStatusEffects: Unlike every other opponent in the game, her Seals are permanent and cannot be healed, though Archer's 7 Rings of Heaven can nullify the attacks. [[FridgeBrilliance She's probably killing your ability to use them.]]

* ContemplateOurNavels: One girl spends a great deal of time by the fountain, reflecting upon recent events. She acknowledges this and adds that the peaceful surroundings of the garden lead to her introspection.
* DespairEventHorizon: As the game continues, some wind up crossing this.

* FlowerMotifs: The Master in the garden keeps pointing out various flowers and their meaning in ''hanakotoba'', the language of flowers. [[{{Foreshadowing}} These invariably have some connection to current events]].
* FriendlyEnemy: Some of them acknowledge they could potentially end up fighting you at some point, yet remain friendly. One particular classmate keeps wishing you luck and encouraging you to do your best.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Others, however, are not so open. One fellow standing near the Library bluntly shuts down your attempts to talk to him, as you and everyone else are potential enemies.
* {{Jerkass}}: Quite a few tend to be rather rude to the protagonist, like the aforementioned fellow near the Library.
* MadLove: The girl on the first floor absolutely ''adores'' her Servant, and over the course of the War, she progresses from squealing about his cool looks and special moves to giggling creepily and saying that anyone who gets in their way will be torn into pieces.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Affects several other Masters after the first Elimination Match.
* NewsTravelsFast: Everybody seems to have already heard what's recently happened to you by the time you talk to them. {{Justified|Trope}} in that intel on other Masters is ''very'' important in the Holy Grail War, and typically the only chance you get to talk to everyone is in the Evening, giving a fair amount of time for yesterday's news to spread.
* LooseLips: Despite the conflict being partly a war of information, a few participants can't help bragging about their Servants. Some of them last surprisingly long, though, which probably means their Servants ''are'' that strong.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: While the male member of the would-be BattleCouple quickly realizes exactly what they've gotten themselves into, his girlfriend remains cheery, eager to battle, and optimistic about their chances.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: The guy who gets matched against Rin in the first round completely blows her off as a non-threat, despite all evidence to the contrary. He doesn't make it out, of course. Another female Master is repeatedly ''shocked'' to see that the protagonist survived each round.
* WhatTheHellHero: As news and rumors of their exploits spread around campus, the protagonist can get called out on seemingly wasting time or [[spoiler:playing with Alice]] when they should be preparing for battle instead.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: The standoffish Master outside the Library accuses the protagonist of PlayingTheVictimCard after [[spoiler:being attacked outside the Arena by Archer]].

* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:Her Secret Garden reveals that for all her peppiness, Jinako is actually a very depressed, lonely woman who feels like in the 15 years since her parents died, she's wasted her life. Her wish from the Grail is to go back to when she was 15 and start over, living "what I thought was normal at 15". This secret is so painful to her that she's the only girl to break into crying and screaming ''before'' you defeat her servant in battle. She suffers a complete breakdown by the time you fight her, culminating in her screaming, "Karna! Make them go away! Crush them so that I don't have to face this anymore!"]]
* {{Jerkass}}: She's incredibly selfish and rather unpleasant, including treating her Servant like crap without having the faintest idea of how stupidly powerful he is.
* {{Meganekko}}: Subverted; she has the glasses, and she is intelligent, but she lacks the sweet personality usually associated with the archetype, instead being a selfish jerkass.
%%* MotorMouth
* {{NEET}}: When he notices who she is, Shinji calls her out for being unfair by having more than 6k hours of playtime in an MMO that's less than a year old, which means she plays the game ''18 hours'' per day. She then proudly boasts that she only needs the rest for sleeping. [[spoiler:There's a FreudianExcuse for that, though.]]
* NerdsAreSexy: Her official art has her being rather cute and shapely for a [[spoiler:30 year old]] fujoshi. Oddly enough, fanart tends to portray her more realistically.
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:She's ''thirty years old'']].
* {{Otaku}}: A deconstruction, as noted under ThisLoserIsYou.
%%* ThePigPen
* SmallNameBigEgo: She's a perfect mirror of Shinji, often boasting about her skill and calling herself the "Great Jinako". Though somewhat skilled, she's no match for either Rin and Rani when they go to their post as the MissionControl. She's surprisingly ignorant about the Grail War and its system, and it seems she never goes to the Arena at all. [[spoiler:It's implied that's the reason why no one saw her in the Holy Grail War; she chickens out of the war when she realizes the entire war isn't a game and hides, getting eliminated without fighting a single match. The only reason why she survives is because Karna gave her his armor.]]
* ThisLoserIsYou:
** She’s basically a giant deconstruction of anything to do with {{otaku}}. [[spoiler:She's a loner who deludes herself by believing she has friends and an important status as a champion gamer, and thinks her life is full of freedom because her parents are dead and her finances are supported without work because of her parents' insurance. In reality, her view of the world is so jaded, she doesn't want anything to do with it and as a result lives an ultimately meaningless life.]]
** Gilgamesh does not hide what he thinks of her when they first meet.
--->'''Gilgamesh:''' [[spoiler:Has human life finally become this easy? That one may simply disappear, cared for by no one, criticized by no one, hated by no one — like a living ghost. Kishinami. Did you sacrifice your command spells to me that you could show me such unsightly things? If that is the case, leave that would-be ghost in there to die. Rethink that desire to save what no one cares for.]]
* UnreliableExpositor: Unlike the other SG, hers are told from her point-of-view, which wouldn't be so bad if she didn't admit that she's such an unashamed liar in the same SG...
* YaoiFangirl: A parody of the ''fujoshi'' archetype.

[[folder:Kiara Sessyoin]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/RieTanaka
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_kiara_01_1302.png]]

The Master of Caster, Kiara is a Buddhist nun who took the identity and teaching position of Taiga Fujimura in the Prologue. There is rather more to her than is immediately apparent.

Her Noble Phantasm is Angra Mainyu/CCC: All the World's Desire, in which she absorbs the collective souls of mankind and envelops them in a whirlwind of orgasmic pleasure intense enough to literally melt and reform their beings in an instant.

-----
* AluminumChristmasTrees: A Buddhist sex cult. [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu It actually existed at one point (and possibly still exists today)]].
* AscendedFanboy: Summons her favorite author as her Servant. [[BrokenPedestal They don't get along.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Revealed to be this in the CCC route and is the one indirectly responsible for BB.]]
* BodyguardingABadass: [[spoiler:In the true final battle of ''CCC'', though Andersen is technically her Servant and is listed as such, in gameplay their positions are flipped; Andersen supplies the support magic and ''Kiara herself'' is the boss.]]
* ClippedWingAngel: [[spoiler:It is implied that she is restrained from her using her full potential as a demon by numerous factors: she absorbed the Sakura AIs who loved the Protagonist, she lacks the capacity to fully understand her newfound power, and Caster's "author's spirit" does not allow her to reach her "ideal self" so easily. ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'''s ''CCC'' crossover event gives us a bit of a glimpse at what she might be capable of when properly unchained, and it's both awe-inspiring and terrifying.]]
* DarkMessiah: She saw that the only way for the world to gain salvation is through her teaching, which is basically [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu having the humanity goes into a wild orgies of sex to ascend spiritually]]. As the world itself is so full of suffering, her real-life counterpart is hailed as the ‘Last Prophet’ for bringing salvation through hedonism and caused thousands of suicides. [[spoiler:She becomes Angra Mainyu, but instead of evil, she becomes an embodiment of lust by being an idol of lust and an object of humanity's lewd desire.]]
* DidntSeeThatComing: She dies in the normal CCC story mode at the hands of Meltryllis, foiling any plans she had.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:Her class "Heaven's Hole" and her Noble Phantasm.]]
* {{Foil}}: To ''Stay/Night's'' Kirei Kotomine. Both are religious leaders responsible by providing exposition about the early game circumstance, only to take mastermind and final boss roles later down the line. While Kotomine still maintains his shades of a moral compass while fully believing himself to be evil, Kiara is much more morally unshackled while unwavering believing herself to be good.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:She can use both Meltryllis and Passionlip as "back-up" bodies if her original self is killed. In the Normal routes, her backups get killed off before she can do this, but in the CCC Route she ''does'' successfully evade death by possessing Passionlip instead.]]
* IllGirl: Couldn't even leave her bed until she was 14. However it turns out her disease was easily treatable with modern methods and no one in her village knew about it because of their conservative and isolationist culture.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By Meltryllis. [[spoiler:A decoy is used in the CCC Route.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:Considers herself the only person to be truly human.]]
* MadLove: Her love for all humanity.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast:
** Her first name was conceived as a composite of '''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Ki]]'''rei and '''[[LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners Ara]]'''ya, two of the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'s biggest villains.
** The characters that makes ‘Sesshouin’ literally mean ‘Biocide Institute’. Not something you expected a nun to have.
* NaughtyNuns: When your sect of Buddhism focuses on gaining enlightenment through sexual pleasure, you can't get naughtier than this.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:She uses the power of the Moon Cell and Caster's Noble Phantasm to become a powerful demon: a counterpart to Avenger (Angra Mainyu), except one created from all the desires in the world instead of all of the evils. And much like with Angra himself in ''stay night'', ''Grand Order'' reveals there was even more going on here, which you can pick up some foreshadowing of in ''CCC'' itself if you pay attention.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Transforms into a demon comparable to Angra Mainyu, but failed to achieve the rank of a true God and true demon. She does have the power of a true demon, which is the ability to harm beings NotOfThisEarth.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her last name can be spelled ''Sesshouin'' or ''Sessyoin'' depending on the romanization system used; there isn't a ton of agreement about which to use among the fanbase.
* TheTease: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is basically smothering the protagonist with her chest after falling from the stairs, then seeming to deliberately prolong their suffering [[DistractedByTheSexy (?)]] for a moment with an absurdly fake innocence. Then she has the gall to call the accident “heated tryst” right in front of the class later.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Her desire to save the world through her sect is so incomprehensibly self-torturing, everyone’s wondering just how much she likes being used. [[spoiler:In the final battle, she keeps saying "More!" when a Servant gets a good hit on her.]]
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:The final boss of the CCC route.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: She passes herself off as a harmless Master with a worthless Servant. Her motivations and indeed story itself are guarded secrets only unlocked by following steps that are not apparent and generally speaking not even possible on your first playthrough.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Since the beginning, she’s dismissive of Sakura’s capability to feel emotion because AI shouldn’t have that kind of anomalous programs, and only true humans can. [[spoiler:That’s the reason why she can’t comprehend that Sakura’s and BB's love is real, and also the reason why Sakura Labyrinth exists. For her, the [=AIs=] exist for her to manipulate.]]
* WrongGenreSavvy: She likens her ambitions and [[spoiler:metamorphosis]] to those of Literature/TheLittleMermaid, the protagonist of her favorite story. However, her intended similarities are ultimately superficial, with [[spoiler:BB]] ultimately resembling the lovelorn heroine and the siren's bittersweet quest for humanity more than her.

!!!Voiced by Creator/NorikoShitaya
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_cccbb_9282.png]]

A mysterious girl who bears a striking resemblance to Sakura Matou. She claims to be a dangerous and unusual AI, but it's unclear as to who or what is responsible for her creation. After seizing control of the Moon Cell, she imposes her will over the "Far Side" by destroying the Holy Grail War and replacing it with the Sakura Labyrinth, the keys to which are hidden within the hearts of the Masters and Servants trapped there.

Her true identity is a mutation of the Sakura Caretaker AI that controls the Moon Cell. After Kiara Sesshouin hacked the Sakura AI and removed her behavioural constraints, Sakura fell in love with the Protagonist and placed him/her in a GroundhogDayLoop to prevent their inevitable death at the end of the Holy Grail War. However, knowing that this was not a permanent or ethical solution but unable to come up with a better idea, Sakura broke down further and decided to escape the pain by restoring herself to factory settings. Because AI data cannot be erased, she moved her memories of loving the Protagonist into a trash file that was stored away, where they eventually gained sentience and became BB.

Her Noble Phantasm is C.C.C. (Cursed Cutting Crater), an Anti-World Noble Phantasm created from the combined authority over creation held by every primordial goddess in history, now usurped by BB. With it, B.B. can create new worlds as she desires, completely overwriting every aspect of the previous world. Her mastery over creation is so absolute that she can affect abstract concepts like consciousness or luck, and even the rules of cause and effect. In battle, she uses it to encase her target in a world where they no longer exist, wiping them out.

-----
* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:Subverted, as B.B. only really went crazy due to being hacked by Kiara Sesshouin.]]
%%* AlphaBitch
* AntiVillain: She has almost no malice to her enemies, she’s never actively attacking your party [[spoiler:until Moon Cell overrides her, and her goal is to ensure you survive through the entire Grail War alive]].
* BoobsOfSteel: Quite busty. Also capable of going pointer-to-sword with Gawain when he's fully serious. Her stats [[MasterOfAll (all of them, of course)]] are star-ranked, which is not possible to numerically represent, beyond even EX.
* CallingYourAttack: When using Crowns of Ten Rulerships/Hill of Seven against Gawain;
--> '''BB''': Sakura Beeeeeam!!!
* TheChessmaster: She is completely aware that she, as an infirmary AI, doesn't have any active combat ability to defend herself. So she uses the Sentinels to buy time to absorb more data, then she sends out her Alter Egos to engage with the Masters. As the Alter Egos are parts of her, when the Masters fight them, her system turns on her self-preservation mode against the aggression, allowing her to use the authority to engage in battle, and allowing her own system to absorb more harmful data into herself.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:She absorbed the forgotten primordial Goddess from which all Goddesses originate, along with the Goddesses that came from her such as Tiamat, Gaia, Athena, Ishtar, Astarte, etc.]]
* CreepyMonotone: If she's sufficiently ticked off (notably refusing to sever your contract with Gilgamesh, or even if you decide to), she lapses into this. [[spoiler:When the Moon Cell wins in its and BB’s struggle of power over the Moon Cell’s control, it starts up full time.]]
* CuteBruiser: No matter what kind of power within her arsenal, she’s still the impishly cute junior [=BB=]-chan and acts that way.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: UpToEleven, it doesn't even cover most of her panties. From her SG, it seems she doesn't notice the constant panty shot she gives everyone.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: In the ''Fox Tail'' manga, she wears a massive, elegant dress, but is barefoot.
%%* {{Doppelganger}}: To Sakura Matou.
* EvilIsHammy: She's as evil as she is over the top, and she ''will'' let you know it.
%%* EyeBeam
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Of the normal Far Side story mode.]]
* GenkiGirl: Acts this way during "BB Channel" segments, but calms down otherwise.
* HeroicSacrifice: In CCC True End, holding back Moon Cell's [[AdvancingWallOfDoom Advancing Firewall of Doom]] as your Servant tries to clear the path out of the Labyrinth, complete with an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove.
* HolyHalo: In the fight against her she has a purple like halo behind her, which has a eye in the middle.
%%* IAmNotLeftHanded: See TheChessmaster
* HumanityOnTrial: [[spoiler:After the Moon Cell starts taking control of her, it uses her to begin a vote by all things that have ever existed on earth on whether humanity should be wiped out or not. Most lifeforms voted for humanity's extinction including humanity itself. Most plants were firmly on humanity's side and voted for their survival.]]
* KingOfAllCosmos: Omnipotent AI who creates the entire Labyrinth in the Far Side of the Moon, capable of doing just about everything, and has stats that are immeasurable even against the immeasurable EX rank, yet she spends her time trolling her opponents and allies alike with mild pranks and hijacking the transmission to host her talk show BB Channel.
* KillerGameMaster: Due to her being in charge of the Moon Cell, she can use all kinds of ridiculously unbalanced abilities in battle, like a manifestation of the tainted Holy Grail itself.
* LeotardOfPower: Similarly to the playable Saber, while it looks like she's constantly giving {{Panty Shot}}s, she's actually wearing a white leotard under her skirt.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: She's Sakura's backup that she filled with her growing affection for the protagonist when her function disallowed her to act so. The backup grew its own sentience and became BB. Also, the Alter Egos are parts of her that she separates from herself as her drones to perform functions in the Labyrinth. The more Alter Egos she splits from herself, the weaker she gets. Passionlip calls her Mother, though.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: She's Sakura's discarded affection for Hakuno, and despite her pleasant overall attitude and demeanor she is not a very nice person. [[spoiler:Zig-zagged in the final fight where she muses that she did all this to protect someone, yet can't remember who as a result of the Moon Cell interfering. Subverted entirely in that it was Kiara hacking her that made her turn out this way, which is only revealed on the CCC route.]]
* MeaningfulName: Capsule Servant reveals that ''BB'' is an acronym for ''Black Blossom'', fitting the FloralThemeNaming of the Sakuras and her status as Dark Sakura's expy. This is supported by Meltryllis who refers her as ''Black Sakura''.
* NoSell: Potnia Theron, the embodiment of all the Mother Goddesses she absorbed, makes it so no being of earthly origin can defy or harm her. The effect can be nullified by activating the Zero Model in the servant, and the Protagonist is unaffected since they were able to exist thanks to the Moon Cell, which makes them alien in origin as a result.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Suffers a few through the storyline when her charming, GenkiGirl mask slips to become something more mechanical. [[spoiler:It's because she cannot handle manipulating the entire Moon Cell, and it's starting to consume her]].
* PhallicWeapon: Her riding crop[=/=]baton is actually a transformed version of the Bishop Staff of Rulership, which is explicitly stated to be symbolic of the phallus as it is literally an erect rod.
* PhysicalGod: Within the Moon Cell, she can do almost anything imaginable. Travel through time, decide the future, strip away all of your powers, manipulate your senses, set the rules of the Grail War to whatever she wants, resurrect the dead, and much more. Even after you go through extensive preparations in order to stand up to her, she can still render herself invincible temporarily and [[OneHitKill instantly defeat you]] [[NonStandardGameOver with her Noble Phantasm]].
* PureIsNotGood: She created her Alter Egos to excise parts of her being that she found troublesome. Now free of doubt and all other internal conflict, she's more megalomaniacally unfettered than anything else.
* ShadowArchetype: To Sakura, figuratively and [[EnemyWithout literally]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: She doesn't mind being called "Bebe" or "Baby".
* StoryBreakerPower: Oh lordy. She absorbed the powers of hundreds of Servants and Masters, giving her sufficient power to attempt hacking the core of the Moon Cell itself. Fortunately, she can't overcome her original nature as a "caretaker AI", and thus has practically no combat power.
* TimeStandsStill: The Moon Cell cannot be hacked no matter how long you spend attempting to hack it, B.B. places herself outside of Time itself in order to take control of it.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Where B.B. stores the Golden Grail for her Aurea Boura Attack.
* {{Yandere}}: For the Protagonist.

[[folder:Passionlip]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/YuiOgura
[[quoteright:244:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_plccc_75.png]]

A girl whose arms have been shaped into massive metallic talons. Like Meltryllis, she bears the same face as BB. Although Passionlip is friendly to the Protagonist at first, she attacks after receiving orders from "her mother".

Her true nature is that of an "Alter Ego", a "High Servant" created by BB after she accessed the records of the Moon Cell. She is a composite of three Servants- Parvati, Durga and Brynhildr- and her giant arms are the embodiment of the ten weapons that Durga received from the gods.

Her Noble Phantasm is Brynhild Romantia: Until Death Divide the Two Apart, the spear that Brynhildr used to exact revenge upon the hero Sigurd, who had promised to marry her but later betrayed her trust by deceiving her into marrying his brother-in-law (the king Gunther) instead. As such, the more affection the user has towards the target of this Noble Phantasm, the deadlier and more accurate the attack will be.

------
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To the protagonist. Well, more like a FanDisservice incarnate than outright ugly, but with hands as large and deadly as hers, people just want to stay away from her. She doesn't understand why her affection is unwanted, though.
-->'''Caster''': "That girl... Does she never look into a mirror?"
* BigEater: She engages in battle several times, but always breaks off first because she always gets hungry in the middle of it.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:She is a composite of the Indian Goddesses Parvati and Durga, and the valkyrie Brynhildr, and her giant arms are the embodiment of the ten weapons Durga received from the gods.]]
* ConspicuouslySelectivePerception: Her skills, "Quality as a Target of Abuse" and "Barrier Against Cognizance", essentially take this trope up to its logical extreme. Quality as a Target of Abuse basically makes her automatically DrawAggro from surrounding enemies and turn herself into a giant punching bag, while Barrier Against Cognizance turns the trope onto ''herself'', making her unable to perceive her own strange body proportion and making her capable of executing her SuperStrength skill. She ''weaponizes'' NotEvilJustMisunderstood by [[UpToEleven turning her own perceptions into those of abuse victims]]! [[PlayingTheVictimCard She would then use those abuses as a "justification" for lashing out]], never to realize that she was made that way.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Everyone near her has an inexplicable urge to be abusive to her, and her Punishment Time is disturbingly played like a sexual assault.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: She destroys the Noble Phantasm of Archer [[spoiler:Robin Hood]] that he gave her because she wants to use it as ribbon.
* FemmeFatalons: [[UpToEleven To a ridiculous extent]], as her hands end in massive claws that are closer to ten {{BFS}} than "fingers".
* FloralThemeNaming: She is named after the passionflower.
* GagBoobs: Her official bust size is [[UpToEleven 160]] cm, and her [[MaleGaze hip size is 87]] cm.
* HumanoidAbomination: She's the only Alter Ego, beside the unseen Kingprotea, that is visibly monstrous. She weights 1 ton and unlike Meltryllis (who is not even that bad), she doesn’t have an indication of weight "without". That means her giant arms and hands are not prostheses.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Her entire character arc is that she's under a delusion, brought by her id_skills, that she's a normal girl who just happens to get pushed around by everyone. She tries to do delicate tasks even though her fingers are literal swords, she tries to be affectionate but her very personality is twisted by nature and she would harm her target of affection without fail, her DrawAggro skill makes everyone around her unable to resist the urge to abuse her and her other skill makes her unaware that [[DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength she's causing all of these]]. Her inability to realize that she's not normal makes her lash out for the wrong reasons, and she ends up getting some sense beaten into her.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN284EDwIDo Dreamin']]
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: To a ridiculous extent. She has a 160cm bust, 63cm waist and 87cm hips.
* KickTheDog: Because of her skill always gathering aggro and inciting people around her to be abusive to her, she always becomes a victim of this. Robin Hood physically and verbally abuses her (something that he is horrified to realize is not in his usual character), Alice and Nursery Rhyme bully her to the point of KidsAreCruel, and even the protagonist has the chance to do her in; if the protagonist goes on to her Punishment Time, they dismiss her ability to love and denounce her as an irredeemable monster - leaving Passionlip a sobbing, self-hating wreak as she dies.
* MostCommonSuperPower: She takes the large breasts of Sakura and BB to such exaggerated extremes, that she almost appears disfigured as a result.
* RocketPunch: [[spoiler:Brynhild Romantia, which becomes stronger and unavoidable more she loves her target. And she loves the protagonist so very much...]]
* ShootTheShaggyDog: If enough flags were gathered and proper understanding of BB's motive is gained (which is GuideDangIt unless you're in NewGamePlus), it's possible to spare Passionlip from the Punishment Time, which is fatal to the Alter Egos. Getting a second chance to live out her life even though she's just a small offshoot of BB, both she and the protagonist then promise each other they will meet again in a better ground. [[spoiler:When Meltryllis attacks Kiara, Kiara is using Passionlip as her decoy. Poor Passionlip then left to die alone, her thoughts filled with her broken promise.]]
%%* ShrinkingViolet
* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler:She had been following the protagonists and their servant for some time before being fought as a boss]].
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She wears nothing on her top save for a couple of straps over her breasts.
* SuperStrength: With those arms it was obvious (she has a A+ rank in Strength) but it goes further than that: she also has an EX-ranked skill that allows her to crush ''anything'' that can fit into her oversized hands into a small five-inch-wide cube. And it doesn't even ''need'' to be so in reality; if she can use DepthDeception to "fit" her target within her claws via FingerFraming, then [[PerspectiveMagic she perceives it as "crushable"]]. The game acknowledges the absurdity of this, even classifying it as a "cheat" skill. Her strength is also so absurd that merely attempting to ''touch'' her hands will cause your arms to ''explode'' if you're anything less than a Servant.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Her boobs are ''literal'' trash bins! Her main duty is to crush trash data and store it away in the valley of her breasts, even things that would otherwise exceed her memory capacity. [[GagBoobs They're just that huge]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Her Barrier Against Cognizance is so bad, she thinks the reason that everyone rejects her is because she's an Alter Ego and BB's clone, instead of her monstrous appearance. Her entire Punishment Time is basically telling her that yes, she's a monster and yes, it doesn't matter; a girl is still a girl.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:For the Protagonist. Her composites goddesses are those who also screwed by love, to boot]].

[[folder:Meltryllis]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/SaoriHayami
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_meltlillith_3535.png]]

A deadly fighter whose face resembles that of BB. She has sharpened spikes for legs, and a love of violence.

Her true nature is that of an "Alter Ego", a "High Servant" created by BB after she accessed the records of the Moon Cell. She is a composite of three Servants- Artemis, Leviathan/Lotan, and Sarasvati-.

Her Noble Phantasm is Saraswati Meltout: Benzaiten's Five String Biwa, a concept of Saraswati's rule over civilization as the Goddess of River, Art, and Education. A non-combat Anti-World Noble Phantasm that turned destructive because of Meltryllis's love for battle, it is a great sweeping tidal cyclone that destroys the form of "anything that flows", whether it be water, words or even morality; thus the very concept of civilization itself.
-----
%%* AnimalMotif: Bee
* AlasPoorVillain: As explained by the protagonist, Meltryllis herself [[spoiler:fears being loved]]. Caster's analysis of her pretty much explains this:
--> '''[=Caster=]''': A visage of a girl who is proud, but therefore, tragic.
* ArmedLegs: Her lower legs are giant metal prostheses she uses to fight with.
* AssimilationBackfire: [[spoiler:She attempts to assimilate Shinji because of his intelligence. Unfortunately for Meltryllis, Shinji's a genius hacker and was able to implant a virus in himself that weakens her.]]
* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:Her ranked A skill Melt Virus allows her to absorb anyone she injects it into after they have been liquefied. It allows her to absorb EXP, Skills, Capacity, and more this way.]]
* BigSisterBully: To Passionlip; she's verbally abusive and callous to Lip as she can only protest weakly at her.
%%* BloodKnight
* BreakTheHaughty: The entire point of her punishment scene is to break her ''eternal unchanging love'' philosophy.
* CatchPhrase: Her “[[InsistentTerminology Came from BB, and yet not BB]]” every time she introduces herself or other Alter Egos is the first sign of her [[BetaTestBaddie most apparent issue]].
* CombatStilettos: Her legs end in ''massive'' stiletto-like points.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:She is a composite of the Greek Goddess Artemis, Old Testament's Leviathan or Ugaritic's Lotan, and the Indian Goddess Sarasvati.]]
* CreepyBallet: Meltryllis performs dances based on those from operas like ''Theatre/{{Giselle}}''. She uses those dances to rip her foes to ribbons with her ArmedLegs and melt them into data for her to absorb and devour.
* DanceBattler: Her fighting style identified as bastardized ballet, though it's said that she wasn't training to gain that skill but by hacking herself into having that skill.
* FastballSpecial: Her combination attack with Passionlip, Virgin Razor Palladion, unseen in CCC but used against Gawain and Karna in ''Fox Tail'', has Passionlip throw her legs first into the enemy.
* FloralThemeNaming: She is named after Lily flower, the origin of Lilith's name. This is also true for the Meltryllis spelling, as it derives from amaryllis.
* {{Expy}}: Has some elements of Dark Sakura from Heaven's Feel, such as [[spoiler:assimilating people into her body]]
* HandicappedBadass: As noted by her skill, she’s in all but form a quadruplet amputee and it doesn’t hinder her as a bonafide BloodKnight.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Deconstructed, because the nature of her love is so warped that no one would be happy with it. [[spoiler:Played straight in CCC Route, which she lets the protagonist go as she knows that just be able to love is enough for her]].
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ31EvUlKTY Doukoku ("Poison")]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Her preferred method of killing her victims in cutscene is usually by impaling them with her knee spikes, while in battle it's usually with her heels.
* IShallTauntYou: When using [[DeflectorShields Farewell Albrecht]].
--> ''Oh~ Scary, scary~!''
* KickChick: Her main form of attacking is using her ArmedLegs.
* MakingASplash: [[spoiler:The goddesses that she is a composite of are those who had strong ties with water or the tides: Artemis, a goddess who strikes those who seeks power to rule over moon movement and tide rising, Leviathan, the famous sea monster that becomes model of Moses's staff that split the Red Sea, and Saraswati, Hindu's river goddess. And then, there's her Noble Phantasm, Saraswati Meltout, which she surrounds her opponent within torrent of water.]]
* MotorMouth: Normally an aloof IceQueen, if the topic of the conversation is Figurine then she will talk '''non-stop'''.
--> '''[=Meltryllis=]''': [[labelnote:Wall of Text]]That’s right, precisely. Dolls are nice. However much I love them, they don’t complain, they never show displeasure, they never change. While I consider human consumer culture foolish, I am grateful that it has polished figurine culture. [[[LampshadeHanging She begins talking much faster than her usual languid pace.]]] It began with the statue of Venus, I think. In Greece. That’s what I imagine. And from there it spread through countries, across oceans, across time...When it reached the hands of Japanese craftsmen, a big bang rivaling the birth of the universe, no, a paradigm shift occurred. It’s come out already, so I’ll just say it. I like dolls. I love them. From life-sized to miniatures, I appreciate them all equally! But certainly scale models in particular draw my interest. Being able to run you tongue over them and admire them from 360 degrees gives such a feeling of control, of ownership, it’s the best there is. All there can be for those who can’t appreciate this hobby is total reeducation. After they’re melted, I’ll make them into base materials. Ah, but American action figures are no good. Too much muscle. When it comes to industrial arts, the delicacy of the Japanese is second to none. My dream is to gather lost model-makers and have them build my own toy story kingdom — Ah, of course I’ll make the craftsmen into dolls as well. Figurine craftsmen polishing their arms day after day, pursuing the ultimate mold...good smiles! Is there any other image so lovely? No, there can’t be. There isn’t, and so I will build it![[/labelnote]]
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Meltryllis is a ridiculously unbalanced opponent: she's Lv. 999(due to Level Limit), she can [[MegaManning absorb the EXP, skills and stats]] of fallen enemies to strengthen herself, and best of all, ''she is [[NighInvulnerability immune to damage]]''. [[spoiler:B.B. removes her invulnerability, and later Shinji uses an AssimilationBackfire to infect her with a virus that drops her to Lv. 1. By the time you fight her for real, she's far more squishy and actually easier to deal with than Passionlip because she only focuses on raw offensive power]].
* {{Narcissist}}: [[spoiler:As her main component is Sarasvati, Hindu Goddess of Culture]], it’s not exactly wrong when she says she’s acting on humanity’s desire. But her way of showing love to humanity is twisted into a self-love completely barren of anyone else, and instead assimilating said everyone into herself so she can love herself along with everyone more.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's the second oldest Alter Ego after the unseen Violet, and yet looks like a standard lolicon bait. It seems she has a complex regarding of being older, and yet looks younger than Passionlip.
* PetitePride: She comments that BB and Passionlip have too much "excessive meat".
--> '''Meltryllis''': Which is to say it’s a body where every part is carefully placed, apace with the upper limits of the plastic arts.
* RapunzelHair: Same as Sakura and B.B.
* ReallyGetsAround: From the skill description, it seems this is the reason why she has that B rank Riding skill.
* SenseFreak: An actual Skill of hers: Neurological Disorder. She's essentially a quadruple amputee because of it. Seeking to gain her touching sense in a proactive manner, [[BloodKnight she can only feel satisfied with it by fighting]]. Another outlet for her touching sense is by [[MundaneLuxury collecting and making figurines]], which is all but impossible as her fingers are uselessly paralyzed.
* SoftSpokenSadist: She always talks with a certain grace that only apparent to stereotypical IceQueen and Andersen describes her as ‘mother-like’ in manner and speech. Doesn’t stop her from being such a sadistic bitch who dismisses everyone as pawns and dolls, revels in the strength from other’s suffering, and completely loses herself when fighting.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is ''supposed'' to be "Meltryllis", in order to match the floral naming of the other Alter Egos, including the ones in secondary materials; she is named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaryllis amaryllis]] and as of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', all game-related material and international releases are consistent in spelling her name this way. But no, your eyes do not deceive you: her name is indeed spelled "Meltlilith" in ''CCC'' itself, as shipped. This is because "ryllis" and "lilith" are both transliterated as リリス in katakana, and evidently the graphic design team somehow wasn't informed of the intended Anglo-Romantic spelling. As a result, her name is consistently spelled "Meltlilith" in-game and also in promo material leading up to ''CCC'''s release, and the error wasn't caught in time to correct it before the game went to print.
* StatusBuffDispel: [[spoiler:Sarasvati Meltout’s effect of "destroying the form of anything that flows" translated as [[PowerParasite stealing enemies' status buffs and giving them to herself]].]]
* TheStarscream: She dislikes BB because BB is one-upping her attempt to be an absolute being. [[spoiler:Her floor is where most of BB’s remaining ally Servants kick the bucket because Meltryllis destroys them in one way or another in her quest to overthrow BB.]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her top half is fully covered but the same thing cannot be said for the bottom half.
* TooKinkyToTorture: She outright challenges the protagonist to make her cough out her confession in her Punishment Time. She holds out her composure the best of all Sentinels.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:For the Protagonist. If Archer is the Female Protagonist's servant, she is yandere for him.]]

!!''CCC'' Servants

[[folder:Gilgamesh]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/TomokazuSeki
[[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_gilgameshccc_8778.png]]

A new playable Servant in ''Fate/EXTRA CCC''. Gilgamesh is known as the "King of Heroes", a legendary Servant who boasts that he is so powerful, he does not fall under any of the typical seven Classes. His ego is so great that he does not bother to hide his identity as the famous Babylonian king who was said to own all of the world's treasures.

His Noble Phantasm is the Gate of Babylon, a portal leading to the treasury containing the thousands upon thousands of Noble Phantasms he collected during his lifetime. As he lacks the proficiency to wield most of them, Gilgamesh mainly uses them as projectiles or shields. However, he does have a few favourites: such as the anti-World Noble Phantasm Ea, a drill-sword that he uses for his devastating Enuma Elish FinishingMove.
-----
* TheAce: WordOfGod states that the main reason Gilgamesh has no class was because "there was no more reason to restrict his power [using the Class system]". In fact, [[spoiler:the reason he is not allowed to be summoned on the Near Side is because he would make the Holy Grail War ''too easy''. Thus he can only be summoned on the Far Side.]]
* ArmorIsUseless: An odd example, and something of a DoubleSubversion. Gilgamesh's default costume is his [[ArmorOfInvincibility infamously durable]] golden armor, and his Guard animation involves raising his gauntlet to stop his opponent's attack dead. However, because he still does this even without the armor equipped, after you unlock more costumes for him (basically blocking with his bare hand), and the breastplate itself doesn't hamper the enemy's damage, this trope still applies and his Guard animation is best chalked up to RuleOfCool.
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Created from the Counter Force by the Gods to control humanity]].
* AnAxeToGrind: One of his weapons that can be used in his attacks.
* BadassArmfold: His standard battle stance. Only by getting his HP to red does he lower his arms to a relaxed standing pose.
* BagOfSpilling: Him being at level 1 is the result of sleeping for (in Moon Cell time) over a millennia. He said he could regain his power by just using his Elixir of Youth and turning himself into a kid and thus naturally regaining his power by growing up (like he did in the time from Zero to Stay), but says it would be fun to do it the old-fashioned way.
%%* BladeOnAStick
* BlindedByTheLight: When confronted by Red Lancer, Gilgamesh deals with her by [[spoiler:stripping naked. [[MaleFrontalNudity His crotch (but not his buttocks)]] is concealed by a shining golden sun]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Most characters don't really grasp Gilgamesh's morals. For example, he doesn't consider red Lancer to be a traitor to her Master because they were never pursuing the same goals to begin with, so when a better opportunity came up for her, betrayal was a natural decision to make.
%%* TheCaligula
* DefrostingIceKing: He comes to regard the Protagonist at almost the same level as Enkidu.
* DualWielding: Can use two swords in combat.
* EasierThanEasy: According to the beta testers in a blog post, using Gil is essentially cheating because of how high his base stats are. There's a good reason that his mode is called "Cheat mode" in-game.
* EscapedFromHell: [[spoiler:Pulls this off in his ending when he burns through all three of his own Command Seals and a reported ''90% of his Noble Phantasm treasury'' to break out of the Far Side and rescue the Protagonist from deletion at the end of the Near Side story]].
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: He ''is'' a demigod.
* GuideDangIt: Gilgamesh's Secret Garden is much harder to get without looking it up. The first requires you to use over 10 items, and must be done before you obtained the first SG of the Sentinel ''from Chapter 3 onwards'', or it will be {{Permanently Miss|ableContent}}ed. Particularly jarring since the other servants are not as hard to acquire.
* HasAType: A noble and virgin woman will always be his type. Preferably rich and well-endowed noble, virgin women. He spends much of his time with Hakuno telling her that she's too plain, poor, and skinny to ever be one of his lovers.
* TheHedonist: Look around his private room; he replaces the bed for a throne for himself (which means the protagonist sleeps in some other corner), decorated by tapestry, the shelves and table is full of wine bottles, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a lion doll because he can't get the real one]].
* HiddenDepths: This was one of Nasu's intentions for Gil's depiction in this game. According to WordOfGod, his personality is affected by the era in which he's summoned to. This is why he was such an insufferable douche during Fate/Zero. However, the era he's summoned to in this game affects him more positively, which is why he's more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold here.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Just like the Gilgamesh from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero'', he mainly fights by pulling weapons out of his treasury or just launching them.
* ItAmusedMe: Gilgamesh responded to Hakuno's call because he found interest to Hakuno's refusal to give up even as they are about to disappear when they first met.
--> '''Gilgamesh''': How amusing. Even as you prepare to lose yourself, you have something that you still cannot forget?
* ItMakesSenseInContext: Most of his conversations only make sense if you have prior knowledge of things in-universe. Like his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Gawain flies over everyone’s heads because they don’t know who Arthur actually is and calling Julius [[spoiler:"a ghost" before the reveal that this Julius was taken after the fight in the final week, from which he had lost his round and only remaining as a cyber ghost]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's calmer and less psychotic than he was in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''... but only because the ''EXTRA'' world resembles ''his'' kingdom more than the primary world did.
* ItsPersonal: He was fine letting BB do whatever she wanted and all, [[spoiler:but after nearly being taken by BB and seeing the determination his Master went through to save him,]] Gilgamesh declares BB to be his enemy now.
* JerkassHasAPoint: A lot of the things he says, while cruel, are pretty much spot on. They way he calls out Gawain for putting his king on a pedestal is spot on, but because Gilgamesh is a jerk nobody wants to listen to him. If you voice support for his position, though, all Hakuno does is defend Gilgamesh, not his statements.
* LonelyAtTheTop: [[spoiler:After he became a adult and came to understand the world and the future in ways [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer neither Gods nor Humans could understand]]. Leading to him becoming the arrogant Jerkass Tyrant until he met Enkidu]].
* LoveHurts: He likes the kind of love that is and has a potential of being cynical, the love that also has an ugly side beside the good. That's why he somehow respects {{Yandere}}, {{Narcissist}}, and MyMasterRightOrWrong kind of people; they love so openly to the point of unsightliness, and that kind of love will surely become either their downfall or salvation. [[DeadSidekick Must be talking from experience]].
--> ''That which appeals my heart the most is the sound of a heart breaking that, when you washed the beautiful (heart), drips an even more beautiful water. When you lick it, it tastes sweet.''
* MasterOfAll: Gilgamesh uses all of his stats equally and suffers no draw backs as a result. His physical strength is more than Saber's, his magic stat is higher than Caster's, and his skills are more useful and powerful than Archer's.
* MundaneUtility: He has a poison-tasting Noble Phantasm stored away.
* MythologyGag: His swimsuit mystic code vaguely resembled what Gilgamesh wore in his child form.
* NotSoDifferent: To the [[spoiler:Moon Cell, which was also created to observe humanity]].
* NoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Enuma Elish. It not only does the maximum possible damage in the game, it ''also'' inflicts the "instant death" effect on top of that. So it does enough damage to annihilate anything in the game, and then applies a one hit kill effect anyway, just because. On top of that, it can only be used when the enemy is at less than 30% of their health, ensuring that the "instant death" effect is redundant no matter what. There is no possible situation that this Noble Phantasm is not pure overkill.]]
* OneHitKill: [[spoiler:His Enuma Elish attack kills any enemy with less than 30% HP remaining, including boss characters.]]
* OnlyFriend: Enkidu as it has always been. [[spoiler:He is still able to grow close to the Protagonist over time]].
* PetTheDog: Has a few of these after [[spoiler:escaping from the seal BB placed on him and seeing Hakuno so determined to save him]]. He starts by saying he'd give Hakuno candy as a commemoration for their good work and overall, starts to treat Hakuno nicer. And here's what he had to say for [[spoiler:Alice and Nursery Rhyme later]].
--> '''Gilgamesh''': Hurry. If you go now you can catch up with your mistress. Illusion and ghost curled up together. Speak together, laugh together, take one another’s hand, and so disappear together to wherever you may go.
* PunnyName: The "A.U.O. Cast Off System" he possesses in this game is phonetically identical to the Japanese rendition of his title, ''Eiyū-Ō'' (英雄王, "King of Heroes").
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Gawain over his loyalty to his king, right in front of the Student Council. He basically calls out Gawain for not catching Arthur’s personal dilemma over her "perfect king" image and further burdening her with that adoration and expectation. Gawain unintentionally proves him right by not listening to his words and keeping his position as a mindless, loyal knight only answering to his king’s whim, though at that moment everyone agrees with Gawain as they’re ignorant of what he means.
* RegeneratingMana: Gets the ability to regen MP after passing Level 20 for 3 turns.
* SemiDivine: Two-thirds divine. [[labelnote:Genealogy]]Gilgamesh's [[HumanMomNonhumanDad mother was a human who had sex with two male gods]]; according to [[ScienceMarchesOn Mesopotamian genealogy of the time and myth]], [[GenderInvertedTrope both males]] [[HasTwoMommies were Gilgamesh's fathers in equal measure]].[[/labelnote]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: First appears in his Servant ending completely naked, though he puts clothes on later. There's also him casting off his clothes in front of Lancer. He also has a completely casual reaction to Rani's demands that Hakuno strip for one level, neither excited nor disgusted.
* ShoutOut: His "secret Noble Phantasm" (the A.U.O. "Cast Off" system) is a ShoutOut to the "Cast Off" system in ''Series/KamenRiderKabuto'' (with the same effect and everything).
* TheStarscream: Gilgamesh makes no secret of the fact that, as his first action is to steal his own Command Seals from you, he could kill you at any time if he feels the whim. The dialogue choices you make determine whether he follows up on this threat or eventually becomes a SarcasticDevotee to you.
* StormOfBlades: Uses Gate of Babylon this way when guarding. Also has it as one of his skills.
* ThisIsADrill: He uses one that's also a [[CoolGuns Gun]] [[{{BFG}} that's bigger than him]]. Also, as all people who have read Fate/Stay Night should know, Ea resembles a drill more than a sword, since '''[[UpToEleven It´s older than the concept of the first sword]]'''.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: [[spoiler:Although created by the Gods to keep them relevant and control humanity, he ends up being the one who deals the fatal blow that ends their reign]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Continues to act harshly towards the protagonist, even after coming to like them.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:Back when he was a young boy. Loved by the people, the Gods, and ruled them fairly]].
* WellDoneSonGuy: The protagonist as this relationship with him. Realizing just how precious Gilgamesh's praises are, s/he starts using them as a scale of his/her achievements. At least, that's how it goes if both the Master and the Servant are not trying to out-{{Tsun|dere}} each other.
* WillfullyWeak: In a sense. His sleep brought him back down to level 1, but unlike the other servants he still has full access to his Noble Phantasm. He holds back on using it purely because he knows his master would never be able to handle the mana strain it creates until they become stronger.
* YouGotSpunk: He really appreciates it when people stand up to him or even oppose him so long as they do so with strong, consistent conviction. When Andersen calls him a selfish tyrant to his face he practically applauds.

[[folder:Karna]]
!!!Master: Jinako Karigiri | Voiced by Creator/KojiYusa
[[quoteright:181:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_karnaccc_2472.png]]

A cold and powerful warrior whose body has been fused with a suit of invincible armour.

As the rules of the Holy Grail War have become corrupted, there is no reason for him to hide his identity as the invulnerable hero from the Indian epic ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}''. Karna is summoned as a Lancer, (although his Master later gives him the nickname of "Launcher" Class.)

His Noble Phantasm is Vasavi Shakti: O Sun, Abide to Death, the spear that Indra (king of the Devas) granted to Karna after being shamed by the latter's unflinching generosity and self-sacrificial honour. As the mightiest weapon of Indra, Vasavi Shakti is a spear of light that can take down even gods, but can only be used by Karna once.
-----
* AllLovingHero: How he got the title as the "Hero of Generosity".
* ArmorOfInvincibility: His kavacha (armor) and kundala (earring) are so powerful that not even [[StoryBreakerPower B.B.]] can do as much as put a scratch on them. [[spoiler:He gave the armor to Jinako without her knowledge or consent so that she could survive the reset]].
* {{Bishonen}}: Acknowledged in his official profile in that he exudes a "divine radiance" and is stated to be beautiful in every regard, but this trait is undercut by his [[PerpetualFrowner constant frowning]] and piercing glare.
* BladeOnAStick: Vasavi Shakti, which is a [[{{BFS}} BFSpear]].
* BornLucky:
** His Luck stat is A+! This is ''really'' ironic because Karna was really screwed over by the universe in his past life, and was originally conceptualised as a Lancer class (who traditionally have terrible Luck stats). He also genuinely believes that such a thing as bad luck does not exist, and that the tragedies he suffered in life were just "bad timing."
** [[spoiler:Subverted. Karna requests that his luck be displayed at A+ since he feels ''that lucky'' getting Jinako as his master.]]
* CanonImmigrant: He was originally created for the light novel {{Spinoff}} ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'', where he was a Lancer.
* DeadpanSnarker: All. The. Time. At one point he comments that if Jinako keeps stuffing her face so much with food, dropping her from great heights will do more damage than his Noble Phantasm ever could.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Due to their divine nature, Gilgamesh isn't actually sure if he has his armor and spear in the Gate of Babylon (or rather, he cannot identify their originals because they are divine items "no one has laid eyes upon"), so he asks Karna to give him either his armor, his spear, or his head. Karna replies that since he's given the armor to Jinako and has to use the spear to fight him, Gilgamesh can take his rotten head if he wins.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: He is called a Heroic Spirit that is as powerful as Gilgamesh (and [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha his Lancer counterpart]] seems to live up to that claim), but he is weakened by his connection to Jinako, a subpar Master. While still a formidable boss, he's no longer as unbeatable as his ''Apocrypha'' counterpart is.
* TheDreaded: When people find out his identity, they are guaranteed to be cowed by his fame. It's shown the most when he does a BigDamnHero to the Student Council as Gawain is ganged up by Meltryllis and Passionlip in ''Fox Tail'' - the Student Council is the one who crapped their pants despite Karna being on their side.
* EyeBeams: Brahmastra, a projectile Noble Phantasm that changes its shape depends on his class. As a Lancer, it manifests as his signature DeathGlare given offensive power. [[labelnote:Trivia]]In his original ''Apocrypha'' design, Brahmastra was the spear that he used before Vasavi Shakti was materialized, but when the actual work rolled around his first spear was changed to a sealed form of Vasavi Shakti while Brahmastra became his EyeBeams just like in ''CCC.''[[/labelnote]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he reveals that he had given his armor of invincibility to his Master without her knowledge earlier. This allows her to survive the "reset" of the system at the end of the Far Side scenario and safely exit the Moon Cell, which is why she does not show up in the Near Side scenario]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Played with. He is saintly in his thoughts and feelings for others, never holding grudges and is endlessly loyal to his Master. However, due to growing up without a proper parental figure to teach when and when not to say something he suffers from BrutalHonesty. Thus he comes across as someone who needlessly prods others for their flaws when he attempts to give honest advice through his Discernment of the Poor skill, particularly involving Jinako's irresponsibility and poor physical condition.
* MeaningfulRename: His "Launcher" nickname isn't entirely from Jinako's kookiness - it fits him more than "Lancer" does within this summoning, since the aforementioned DramaPreservingHandicap means that even materializing his spear is a lot of mana. As a result, he has to resort to his fists for basic attacks, and his Brahmastra EyeBeams are his most reliable Noble Phantasm at his current level (hence, Launcher).
* MommasBoy: Not that you would expect it from her treatment of him, but he is overjoyed by the fact that she called him son just once when they finally meet again face-to-face.
* NoFlowInCGI: As the game engine would have a hard time rendering his flowing cape, the character designer changed it to a set of metal spikes with the same feel.
* NoSocialSkills: Everything that comes out of his mouth sounds like a cold insult or a sly remark, but it's actually him simply observing and critiquing what he sees without any malice since he grew up ostracized by everyone due to his low social status, meaning he couldn't talk to ''anyone'' without getting insulted or teased and thus relied entirely on body language and what he could read to understand people.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Jinako, though he prefers to be seen as the younger brother.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: A subdued example. Brahmastra Kundala ''hurts'', but much like Gawain's Excalibur Galatine it's entirely possible to survive it. In the latter case, it's an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm and a sublime existence on par with Arthur's Excalibur. In the former, it's a ''God-Level Anti-Country Noble-Phantasm'' declared to be the Noble Phantasm equivalent to a ''nuke'', not to mention the fact that its Apocrypha counterpart would have killed Ruler despite her damage immunity. Somewhat justified by his subpar Master, but still...
* TheStoic: He comes across as this because he believes that most things and events are "normal" and how they were meant to be, therefore there is no reason to be surprised. This trait even allowed him to accept his own death without a hint of resentment, even though [[TraumaCongaLine he really had every right to be]].
* TragicHero: The world worked ''really'' hard to screw him over throughout his entire life.
* TraumaCongaLine: Okay, born to the Sun God, sounds great right? Problem is, he's born into the peasant class, which in India means he's treated worse than garbage by the upper classes. Then his mom abandons him after he catches the fancy of the local King. Being a demigod, his skin and hair were a pale white and everything else was covered by a strange black substance, which along with his harsh statements and [[PerpetualFrowner cruel countenance]] only further ostracized him from his peers.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He single-handedly started a war after his foster father (who only adopted him out of greed) was insulted by the five Pendava brothers.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Averted. Despite his stoic exterior and tendency for BrutalHonesty, Karna is an almost ''pathetically'' nice guy who helped anyone who asked for it in life. The problem was that he spent most of his childhood as an outcast who was thrown away ''by his own mother'' and thus lacked the training necessary to properly express emotions.
* WorthyOpponent: Though he isn't exactly disrespectful of his other opponents, he holds Gilgamesh in relatively high regard, and for once Gilgamesh seems to return the sentiment.

[[folder:Lancer (Elizabeth Báthory)]]
!!!Master: Varies[[note]]Has been shown as Rani, Rin, Shinji, Meltryllis, and the PC's Servant.[[/note]] | Voiced by Creator/RumiOokubo
[[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_ccclancer_4797.png]]

A new Servant in the "Far Side" scenario of ''CCC''. She has the horns and tail of a dragon, and refers to herself as an "Idol" class Servant. Though initially summoned as the Lancer-class Servant of Rin Tousaka, she is later re-summoned by Shinji as a Berserker.

Her true identity is UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory, an infamous Hungarian serial killer who was said [[BloodBath to bathe in the blood of her victims]] as a means of preserving her beauty.

Her Noble Phantasm is Kilenc Sárkány: Roar Of The Dragon, the voice of the dragon Sárkány, who was said to be able to invoke rain and wind with his cry. When used by Lancer, it amplifies her voice to such a degree that it destroys both the body and mind of its victim. She later upgrades this Noble Phantasm to Báthory Erzsébet: Fresh Blood Demoness, the castle where Elizabeth reigned during her lifetime and tortured hundreds of young girls to death. After Elizabeth became a Servant and began to dream of becoming the ultimate IdolSinger, it was remodeled into a massive stage that channels the foul magic gained from the ceremonial slaughter into its amplifiers, increasing the power of Kilenc Sárkány.
-----
* AlasPoorVillain: Even if she's not really sympathetic, she goes out [[spoiler:begging for anything but imprisonment, even a dirty, ignoble death. She still doesn't really understand why she's being punished, either.]]
* AmbiguousInnocence: She's like a little girl who dreams of happy fantasy romance, but she's also an insane butcher because she doesn't truly understand the pain of others at all. For her, being a noble means the people exist for her benefit and she can do whatever she pleases to them. To do anything else would be failing her duty!
* AntiVillain: Played with. During her third appearance she's built up as someone that might be sympathetic, but in the end she really isn't. No matter how innocent and cute she may appear, she's still an unrepentant, narcissistic mass murderer. Whatever mental illnesses she may have had, whatever the effect her dragon blood may have had on her, she still chose to torture young girls to death just to stay young and beautiful.
* AttentionWhore: Her obsession with idol life is because of this. [[spoiler:After being outed as the serial killer bathed in her victims' blood, Bathory was house-arrested in her castle. Her windows were sealed because she was always wailing non-stop for attention of her wardens and she died of loneliness.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's a ditzy idiot, but she's actually pretty potent under the right circumstances.
* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon of choice, which she also rides like a broom.
* BloodBath: [[spoiler:The source of her powers]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Because of the combination of her upbringing and mental illness, she honestly doesn’t see her actions as wrong. [[spoiler:As a noble, the lives of the peasants that she tortured and whose blood she drained for her baths meant nothing as peasants were considered nothing more than cattle for her to slaughter]].
* BodyguardBetrayal: [[spoiler:She killed her original Master, Lil' Ronnie, when she though Ronnie was unsightly and allied herself with BB because she's more beautiful. She changes Masters the most because she doesn't stop the threat when someone tries to assassinate her Masters.]]
* BoxedCrook: [[spoiler:When the protagonist dives into the root of his/her Servants’ Origin, Elizabeth is given to them as their Servant to conquer the Servant’s Zero Model and gaining the Servant’s Origin in exchange of her freedom from her Ice Maze prison]].
%%* CuteWitch
* DisappearsIntoLight: [[spoiler:Subverted; from her dialogue, it seems she believes she will return to the Imaginary Number Space after aiding the Origin Servant activation, Rin says she just goes back to stasis in her Ice Maze prison. In short, she's not really gone like other Servants in general after they fulfill their purpose]].
* DreadfulMusician: Her songs are hilariously off-beat and off-key, sounding almost like she can't decide if it's a song or a poetry. Not that her Noble Phantasm needs her to be an expert in singing; as long as her voice is loud enough, her voice can be weaponized.
%%* EnigmaticMinion
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:In order to defeat the Origins of each Servant and unlock each Servants' full potential.]]
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Her singing is hard to stand because even though her voice is beautiful and her lung power extraordinary, she's tone deaf and has no artistic sense at all.
* HornedHumanoid: Due to her "Innocent Monster" skill (which transforms the physical appearance of a Servant based on the conception others had of them in real life). Her horns and tail are meant to invoke the image of a dragon.
* IdolSinger: She introduces herself as an "Idol" class Servant. She's... not very good at it.
* LethalChef: Her appetizer alone is enough to cause a literal BSOD.
-->'''Sakura''': “I-It can’t be! Vital signs are dropping at an unbelievable rate! Mach down!\\
'''Rani''': “It does not appear that there was any poison included. This dish makes a double attack on the taste buds and the soul by its disagreeable flavor alone.”
* LittleBitBeastly: While at first one might think she looks like a [[HornyDevils Horny Devil]], her horns and tail are actually those of a dragon.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Of all Servants, she might be the most magical girl-like. With her humorous skill animations like her spear throw leaving a trail of hearts, jamming her spear too deep that she has difficulty of pulling it out, her Noble Phantasm is a giant loudspeaker, and her idle animation has her dancing in place.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Her Dragon's Breath skill as she uses her dragon lungs to power up her screams.
* MoralEventHorizon: InUniverse, [[spoiler:during her final Punishment it's stated that she can never be saved or forgiven for what she's done, even if she didn't fully understand what she was doing at the time. At her deepest core, she knows this as well. It's played with, however, because this is the moment where she finally admits to herself that she was the one to blame for her own fate, meaning there's a possibility for her to change after that]].
* MythicalMotifs: Dragons. [[spoiler:In life her family crest had a dragon on it and there were rumors that she had dragon's blood]].
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Fought the most out of any character in the game yet keeps changing Masters. [[spoiler:She made pact with BB to be her personal PsychoForHire to defend her Labyrinth as long as she makes her immortal, namely keeps spitting her back out of the imaginary number space every time she dies]].
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Her horns and tail are actually those of a dragon. She also has the Dragon's Breath skill. [[spoiler:This is the result of the "Innocent Monster" skill, which transforms her physical appearance based on the conception that others had seen of her in real life. Elizabeth Báthory was often rumoured to have mixed her own blood with that of a dragon, and her family crest also bore the mark of a dragon]].
* PantyShot: When she attacks, when she uses some of her skills, and twice per use of her Noble Phantasm.
%%* PointyEars
* ThePowerOfBlood: [[spoiler:She requires gallons of blood daily in order to bathe in it. It's also how she can increase her power.]]
%%* RecurringBoss
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The English localization of ''Fate/Grand Order'' spells her name as "Elisabeth Báthory" rather than using Elizabeth Báthory.
* SuperpowerLottery: Flight, powerful skills, a devastating Noble Phantasm, and oodles of bonus buffs from being one of the most infamous villains in history, her mediocre stats and flightiness are the only things holding her back.
%%* TailSlap
* TooKinkyToTorture: She possesses the Berserker skill Mad Enhancement, but the rank is so low (E-) that it doesn't increase her stats or affect her intelligence... all it really does is invoke this trope.
* TortureTechnician: Has a "Torturing Method" skill ranked A. [[spoiler:We see first hand that she has both Rin and Rani to gather [=NPCs=] and Masters alike for her blood bath in their respective floors, which also incites the suspicion that Rin and Rani are [[NotHimself Not Themselves]]]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Her like in [[WordOfGod the artbook]] is the Protagonist, but the way the entry is written is very stereotypical tsundere; it starts with a very long VisibleSilence, before finally admitting that it was [[EmbarrassingNickname the Pig]] that she likes. Even then, the entry ends with question mark, almost that she's not sure herself.
* VainSorceress: While not a Caster, she’s close enough with her constant fear for her beauty. It seems the reason why she fears romance is because marriage through love equals getting pregnant equals having bloated stomach, which is a big no-no for her.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's claustrophobic because she died in house arrest. Her wardens became so annoyed at her wailing, they sealed off her windows and only left a small slit to push her food in. [[spoiler:When the protagonist gains her SG and the MissionControl traps her inside a cage of [=IceWall=], she loses any shred of her arrogance and screams for mercy the entire time]].

[[folder:Caster (Hans Christian Andersen)]]
!!!Master: Kiara Sesshouin | Voiced by Creator/TakehitoKoyasu
[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_enemycasterccc_5155.png]]

A new Servant introduced in ''CCC''. Though he bears the appearance of a young boy, he has the voice of an older gentleman.

His true identity is Creator/HansChristianAndersen, the famous Danish writer who among other things wrote The Little Mermaid, The Emperor´s New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling.

His Noble Phantasm is Märchen Meines Lebens: A Story Just For You, which allows Caster to transform someone, body and soul, [[OneWingedAngel into their "ideal self"]]. However, the target must incite the lust of a writer within Caster for the Noble Phantasm to work, and his "Author's Spirit" typically doesn't allow someone to reach their true "ideal self" if their narrative/CharacterDevelopment is incomplete.

-----
* BeleagueredAssistant: Despite his UndyingLoyalty, Caster does not like how Kiara acts and insults her every chance he gets. [[spoiler:He even warns the protagonist when she's going to use her Noble Phantasm during the boss fight]].
* BodyHorror: Thanks to the Innocent Monster skill he has no control over his physical form. Being a famous author has inflicted this upon him. Underneath his clothes are a merman's scales, frostbite, burns, and sharp pains that cut his throat when he speaks.
* BrutalHonesty: His Rank-A Human Observation skill makes him understand the flaws of others and leads him to make assumptions about the person. He then rudely states their flaws and errors. Although pessimistic, he does this because he [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold understands that person]], not out of malice.
* CassandraTruth: He repeatedly calls Kiara the worst kind of selfish hypocritical scum, but nobody pays any attention to him.
* CripplingOverspecialization: His magic rank is EX, but all his other stats are ranked E.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DeadpanSnarker: And if you have Caster as Servant, they have a short SnarkToSnarkCombat that quickly evolves into an [[NotSoDifferent epiphany]] of just why they're bitter to each other.
* {{Deconstruction}}: It seems to his hobby. If asked about Lancer [[spoiler:Elizabeth]], he calls her "unsightly" because if she thinks that other people are nothing but pigs, then she's a foolish woman for being narcissist in front of a bunch of "pigs". He isn't exempt from his own sharp tongue, calling himself a useless Servant for having all his parameters E and prone to SelfDeprecation when he looks back to the time when he was alive.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Kiara, the true mastermind of CCC]].
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:In his final words to Kiara, he states that he is incapable of loving a human. He also states that he no longer sees Kiara as human, which can be taken in various ways]].
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Lets everyone escape and doesn't bother to fight them after they defeat Kiara, happy with how the story had played out]].
* InnocentBlueEyes: He's lacking in the innocent department due to his cynical mindset, but his childish form ''does'' give him the sensitivity and empathy he lacked later in life, leading to his own embarrassment upon rereading his own children's stories.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Hans should, by all means, be absolutely horrible as a servant - except for his Noble Phantasm, which (if used correctly) can be one of the strongest Noble Phantasms in the franchise. [[spoiler:Kiara uses it to become a ''demi-god'', and that's even with Hans holding back]]!
* LoveHurts: Had his heart broken throughout his life, [[spoiler:yet he still believes in love]].
* TheMedic: Specializes in healing and support magic.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler:His reason for following Kiara is that a servant follows their master, so he will follow her to hell itself. While seemingly merely out of duty, his final words to her imply that he did care for her in his own way]].
* NonActionGuy: He ends up simply buffing Kiara and letting her fight most of the time since the majority of his stats are absolutely atrocious.
* NotSoDifferent: In contrast with other characters, he doesn't actually criticize playable Caster's personality; he's just saying that her ears are tacky. When she gets offended anyway because of the unintentional [[FantasticRacism racism]], he quickly backtracks and says they're not that bad. When it's still not convincing his audience because he's acting out-of-character for avoiding deconstruction of his target, he instead talks about his past. The monologue hits Caster too close to home.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Thanks to the Innocent Monster skill, he's been summoned in the form of a young boy instead of as the adult he obviously became. He still has the voice of an adult man, however.
* PunchClockVillain: [[spoiler:He only helps Kiara since she's his master, but for the most part he doesn't really care about her goals. He even saves the Protagonist from Meltryllis in the normal story mode after Kiara is killed and he's about to meet the same fate.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:His Noble Phantasm ''Märchen Meines Lebens: A Story Just For You'' can be used to make one into their ideal self, but they must also incite lust in Andersen. His lust as an author for CharacterDevelopment within the story, to be precise. The reason why Kiara isn't her "ideal self" in her boss fight is because she didn't go through said development, thus his buffs only go so far. Even ''then'' they were enough to raise Kiara to the level of an Earth Goddess, with the ability to make herself the size of a planet]]!
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Gives one to Kiara after she loses, telling her that her inability to realize her own flaws and that she should know she stood no chance against the Protagonist is the reason for her defeat]].
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Never fights in battles directly. Instead it's his master that is fought]].
* VocalDissonance: Despite his young appearance, he has a voice of an older gentleman. This represents [[spoiler:his childish mind capable of the fairy tales he wrote, but that he was still an adult]].

* NotSoStoic: She tries to come off as serious but deep down she's sad that she looks like an adult thus can't be cute. She even changing her hair to pigtails to get a reaction out of Hakuno.

-----

* AntagonisticOffspring: [[spoiler:She considers BB her mother and is currently trying to eat BB and kill the person she loves most.]]
* BerserkButton: Bugs and imperfections.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Turns out she's the real main villain of the Fox Tail manga who stole most of B.B.'s power]].
* BodyMotifs: Her mouth and tongue get a lot of focus. [[spoiler:It ties into her Insect Eater skill and Pitcher Plant motif.]]
* CannibalismSuperpower: [[spoiler:Her Insect Eater skill lets her use the powers of any Sakura she consumes]].
* {{Expy}}: Of young Sakura. [[spoiler:But once we meet her, her personality is closer to Dark Sakura and she's shown similar powers]].
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She's an adorable TokenMiniMoe free from the fan service of her family that's currently [[spoiler:attempting to wipe out all of humanity when not indulging in her torturing hobby.]]
* FanDisservice: While there is really nothing wrong with Kazuradrop's appearance or abilities, her id_eses skill names "Hatred of the Brethren" and "Insect Eater" are this when you remember [[spoiler:the original Sakura's experience with worms and resentment toward Rin]].
* FloralThemeNaming: She appears to be named after the Arrowroot (Kazura) flower. [[spoiler:She's actually named after the Pitcher Plant (''Utsubo-Kazura'')]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:As "BB", she demonstrates a private field called the "Bug Space" wherein her captives are aptly reduced in size and virtually helpless. This at first seems like the typical BB sadism, but ends up having been a landslide hint to who she really was]].
* InformedAttribute: The Alter Ego of Kindness is probably the cruelest of them all.
* IrrationalHatred: [[spoiler:She LOATHES Hakuno because due to him, Sakura became flawed which lead to the creation of BB and the Alter Egos. While she is happy to be alive, she's not at all happy to be born because of an error]].
* JustEatHim: [[spoiler:"Insect Eater", a skill devised for cleansing system bugs, ends up being utilized instead as the ability to consume others, but only can be used to full effect on Sakura AIs ''specifically'']]. [[note]]She can only wholly integrate the being and skills of Sakura or those derived from her. Anyone else doesn't give her anything.[[/note]]
* MeaningfulName: She is, by origin, a virus-cleansing program, [[spoiler:named for the pitcher plant -- in other words, for "bugs" in the system to be dropped into and erased. Following her whiplash FaceHeelTurn, this is re-purposed for [[JustEatHim her entire new ''modus operandi'']]]].
* NotSoDifferent: To Hakuno. [[spoiler:They're both AI that popped into existence one day with a following a goal they don't fully understand. This triggers her Repulsion For One's Kin skill, causing her to absolutely loathe him.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Her goal is the extinction of humanity]].
* ThePerfectionist: A big part of her personality is her desire to be perfect. [[spoiler:She hates how BB and the other Alter Egos are error prone due to their love of Hakuno and hates that she's an Alter Ego of those flawed AI]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Kazuhito Sakagami]]

A Master working for BB, he and Saber are constantly opposing Hakuno and Caster in Fox Tail.

-----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Kazuradrop did brainwash him but his general personality seems to be intact, only that he's more open to work with Kazuradrop]].
* GrumpyBear: He is extremely cynical and refuses to work together with Hakuno, and does not tolerate his Saber's goofy antics. When the factions call a truce to [[HotSpringsEpisode go to a hot spring together]], he refuses to talk to anyone. When Saber asks if he had fun, he says that's stupid, it's just a bath.
* MarshmallowHell: Suzaka ends up inflicting this on him when she ends up falling on him during the group's trip to the hotsprings and her plans to peep on him ends up with her slipping off a cliff.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:His reaction when he used a command seal to force Suzuka to use her final Noble Phantasm when she was losing against Minamoto-No-Raikou after he saw Raikou's master decided to respect her servant's wishes. This feeling intensified when Suzuka collapsed due to her power overwhelming her servant container.]]
* NotSoDifferent: A hilarious moment happens when Saber first meets Caster and they go on a massive argument about love and who is the better couple with their respective master. Kazuhito and Hakuno share an empty stare as they mentally communicate the other knows their suffering.
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:He accidentally murdered his parents when his attempt to use magecraft after getting the family crest backfired]].
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: In regards to Saber.
--> '''Kazuhito:''' ''I don't remember becoming your boyfriend.''
* StraightMan: To Saber's assorted shenanigans.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Saber (Suzuka Gozen)]]
!!!Master: Kazuhito Sakagami |

Kazuhito's Servant, a Japanese Saber who is head over heels for her Master.

-----
* AffectionateNickname: She calls her master Kazu-kun; he doesn't like it at all.
* BackFromTheDead: Her myth has her dying at the age of 26 and Tamuramaro traveling to the underworld and reviving her.
* BoringButPractical: ''Shoutouren'', which Saber admits isn't that flashy at all but the increase to her intelligence makes her a much more efficient and deadly fighter, as Caster found out.
* TheDitz: She's quite the airhead, with Caster saying her swordsmanship is more her flailing around than a martial art.
* DumbassNoMore: Her second Noble Phantasm, ''Shoutouren'', greatly increases her intelligence. She even states that as a result of this Noble Phantasm, she can [[MouthfulOfPi recite every digit of Pi]].
* {{Foil}}: To her rival Caster despite being incredibly similar, they oppose each other due to that similarity and have inverted myths. [[spoiler:Caster or Tamamo-no-Mae was the mortal avatar of the goddess Amaterasu but became a demon that slaughtered hundreds of people as she was killed because they rejected her. Saber or Suzuka Gozen was a demon princess that travelled to Japan to conquer it but fell in love with the hero, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, and instead helped him kill evil demons and had a happy ending with Tamuramaro. Their main reason for fighting is to protect their Masters who just so happen to be on the opposite sides]].
* FlyingWeapon: In battle, she wields one katana in her hands and two others with her mind.
* GoingCommando: She has this in common with Rani and appears equally nonchalant about accidental flashing.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When she realizes [[HopelessSuitor Kazuhito will never be hers]], she gives up on her dream of being together forever in favor of his decision to move foward. [[spoiler:...Or she did until she learned Caster helped him reach that ephiphany and became '''livid'''. Truth is, accepting his choice was about ''her'', not him, and learning that someone else interfered with what was supposed to be ''her'' big moment with Kazuhito is unacceptable, even if it is for his benefit.]]
* LittleBitBeastly: She also has fox ears and a tail, but (unlike Caster's) they're not genuine.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Like Caster, she has a tendency to fall in love very easily. She says she fell in love with Kazuhito at first sight and part of her myth is she fell in love with Sakanoue no Tamuramaro at first sight as well.
* MindOverMatter: One of her skills is to levitate items she has on her body.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Based on her myth and her current actions, Saber doesn't really have any set morals and only does things that will make her master/boyfriend happy or let her spend more time with them. Under the hero, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, Suzuka was a heroic figure, [[spoiler:thus why she's siding with Kazuradrop despite seeing her brainwash Kazuhito as it lets her spend more time with him]].
* NotSoDifferent: To Caster. Both are obsessed over their Masters and have a strong obsession with love.
* OddFriendship: She and Rani became friends because they both [[GoingCommando don't wear underwear]].
* TheRival: To Caster.
* {{Seer}}: [[spoiler:Her final and most powerful Noble Phantasm, ''Sanzendaisensekai'' gives her clairvoyance that Suzuka states has been compared to omniscience. She states it allows her to see all worlds past, present and future. During her fight with Minamoto-No-Raikou, Suzuka used it to look in Kazuhito's past to tell him that his father was actually proud of him.]]
* {{Shapeshifting}}: She used it to copy Caster's animal features, under the assumption Kazu liked it.
* StormOfBlades: As one of her Noble Phantasms, her first sword Daitouren.
* TooMuchAlike: Caster and Saber are honestly nearly identical in their ideals of love but it only causes more strife between them.
* WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler:Using her final Noble Phantasm, ''Sanzendaisensekai'' forces Suzuka into her original form as the daughter of a heavenly demon king which gives her clairvoyance to the point of omniscience, allowing her to defeat even Minamoto-No-Raikou. But it also ups her divinity past the limits of a servant container thus heavily damaging her. Caster even states if she uses her final Noble Phantasm too much it could destroy her.]]

[[folder:Golden White Face -- SPOILERS]]
The evil [[{{Kitsune}} nine-tailed fox]] who is Tamamo-no-Mae's original self. In truth, she is actually Amaterasu, the solar goddess of Shintoism.
----
* AxCrazy: She is the source of her Servant incarnation's ClingyJealousGirl issues -- as well as Tamamo's general reputation as having been an evil monster -- and is gleefully bloodthirsty when interacting with Hakuno.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: She only appears as a massive version of Tamamo because she interacts with Hakuno in their dreams, and otherwise would manifest as a miniature sun.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Amaterasu finds her one-tailed future self so utterly pathetic that she expresses the desire to reach through space-time and smite her after she's through eating Caster's beloved Master. The feeling is mutual, as Caster is disdainful towards her past self and went out of her way to avoid becoming her again even if she were to regain her full power.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: In Japanese myths, Amaterasu is portrayed as being GodOfGood, with only negative things her doing are in response of her brothers' actions. In Fate, her association with Tamamo turns her into someone who can potentially become an Evil of Humanity.
* HumanoidAbomination: As a Divine Spirit and a Beast-class entity, Amaterasu is an existence beyond what even Servants are capable of reckoning with, to say nothing of mere mortals. When appearing before Haruko in ''CCC''[='=]s "Caster's Secret Garden", she takes the form of a giant woman with fox-ears and nine fiery tails.
* {{Kitsune}}: Although she's not ''actually'' a fox-spirit -- being a Divine Spirit instead -- Amaterasu nevertheless appears as a colossal woman with fox ears and nine fiery tails.
* PhysicalGod: Golden White Face (Konjiki Hakumen in Japanese) -- the evil nine-tailed {{kitsune}}-goddess who is Caster Tamamo's original self -- turns out to be the celestial emptess of Shintoism, Amaterasu.
* TimeAbyss: She is as old as the Sun itself, and thus witnessed the battle between Velber 02 and the Hero who first wielded Excalibur.
* {{Yandere}}: Caster refers to Amaterasu as having been one, and the source of her present ClingyJealousGirl tendencies.

!!Masters
[[folder:Protagonist (CanonName: Hakuno Kishinami)]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AtsushiAbe (M)(Drama CD/Anime), Creator/YuiIshikawa (F) (Anime) (Japanese), Creator/BillyKametz (M, Anime), Creator/RyanBartley (F, Anime) (English), Miguel Angel Ruiz (M) (Latin American Spanish, Anime), Susana Moreno (F) (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:208:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hakuno_5543.png]]

The PlayerCharacter of the game, who can be either male or female. He/she begins as a generic student at Tsukumihara Academy, but soon realises that they have no memories of their true identity. After becoming one of the 128 participants in the Holy Grail War, they can choose a Servant of the Saber, Archer or Caster class. They are known as "Hakuno Kishinami" (male in the Manga, [[Anime/FateExtraLastEncore Anime]], and the drama CD) (In addition both genders are equally featured in promotional and side materials).

----
* AdaptationalNameChange: Unlike manga and drama CD adaptations where Hakuno Kishinami's name is 岸波白野 in Kanji, Hakuno Kishinami's name in the anime is 岸浪ハクノ with a completely different first name and altered last name. [[spoiler:This is {{Foreshadowing}} the fact that the audience has been following a copy of the original Hakuno and the real Hakuno has already died as seen in the first episode.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the game, Hakuno is characterized as being fairly... well, plain - due in large part to TheReveal [[spoiler:that they were an NPC given a human will]], and their character arc is them becoming more emotional. In the anime, Hakuno starts off as aloof and distant, being filled with hatred for the Moon Cell and the way the system is run.
** [[JustifiedTrope Justified.]] [[spoiler:Hakuno is not the true Hakuno of the anime, but an anthropomorphic personification of the hatred of all the masters who died in the Moon Cell and his appearance was based on one of them, the original Hakuno herself.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: To either [[spoiler:Rani or Rin]] at the start of the fourth chapter.
* BreakThemByTalking: A heroic example. In CCC, the Sentinels are obstructing the path to the bottom of Sakura Labyrinth with figurative and literal wall of ‘hearts’. To destroy that wall and proceed, the protagonist must gain access to the Secret Garden, essentially everything the Sentinels hides behind their ‘walls’ and bring those secrets into the open before the Punishment Time gives the final push to destroy the wall. More often than not, Punishment Time has the protagonist hurling insults at the respective Sentinels, [[WarriorTherapist all so they can make peace with those flaws]]. [[spoiler:Though against the Alter Egos, who are made of pure personalities, the Punishment Time is unambiguously fatal.]]
* CanonName: The official material, manga, anime, and drama CD names them "Hakuno Kishinami."
* ChekhovsGunman: Take a good look at the students in the back of the classroom during the prologue cutscenes.
* ChickMagnet: For being as average as they are, they do pretty well for themselves, regardless of gender. The protagonist even wins the affections of both Aozaki sisters.
* ClassicAntiHero: Mediocre in almost every aspect apart from their dogged refusal to just roll over and die, Hakuno winds up killing other Masters with grander ambitions and characters than theirs simply because they want to live. Ultimately, it's only when they discover that [[spoiler:they were never alive in the first place]], that they relinquish their fear and initiate actions that have shades of true heroism.
* CloningBlues:
** [[spoiler:Quickly lifted out of this by their Servant, who tells them that as Magical Constructs themselves, they view them as people.]]
** [[spoiler:A possible case near the end of the CCC Route. As the [[AllThereInTheManual CCC]] Dictionary implies that there might be another version of them that exists, which will continue on through the events of ''EXTRA'', the originals still remain frozen, and Sakura gave the one from the CCC Route a new body to use.]]
** [[spoiler:In the anime Hakuno learns he's not even based on a person but is just the hatred of all the masters killed by Twice given form, he nearly gives on the war disgusted by his existence.]]
* CovertPervert: The narration during the scene in which Caster chastises the protagonist for letting her take more than 300k damage implies the reason the protagonist allowed Caster to take that much damage is due to wanting to hear [[OrgasmicCombat her yelps]]. Their reaction when they check Rin or Rani fixing their Servants’ magic circuit and heard that Kiara and Sakura need to get naked to install the program is to take a peek, all while playing it off as concern.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair and brown eyes.
* {{Determinator}}:
** First seen when they refuse to accept their death during the prelims. That's the reason why their Servants answer their call.
--->'''Talent''': Mental fortitude (Male), Never giving up (Female)
** Also in ''Fate/EXTRA CCC'', in the later chapters, things starts to get grimmer and darker when the protagonist is trapped in this dark realm by [[spoiler:BB]]. But, he/she keeps crawling for a way out despite voices telling him/her to give up. Later, as the protagonist continues onward to the place where [[spoiler:his/her Servant was sealed by BB]], they keep on going despite being nearly [[spoiler:disintegrated]] along the way.
---> *[[spoiler:The deletion reacting up to their chest]]* ''It seems [[spoiler:my stomach has completely vanished]], (...) That’s great; my body feels lighter, I should be able to walk faster now.''
* DistractedByTheSexy: Their reaction to [[MarshmallowHell getting smothered by Kiara]];
-->''Beautiful flesh, is the phrase that comes into my mind. It’s like when a carnivorous beast comes upon fresh meat, meat that makes its deliciousness known to all five senses, and the beast rejoices. It seems that there exists in this world flesh that can do much the same thing, flooding all the senses with nothing but its beauty.''
-->''But — even so… Why am I finding it so hard to breathe?''
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Averted. While you do get no respect in the beginning from most of the other Masters, as you take down more and more of some of the best Masters in the War, they certainly start respecting your skills. [[spoiler:The BigBad even calls you the most extraordinary Master of all. And by the end of CCC,'' '''Gilgamesh''' ''acknowledges you as a Master.]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: The protagonist is a hit with the ladies no matter what their gender.
* FirstPersonSmartass: At times.
-->''Rin goes from comatose to bitch in three seconds flat.''
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the localized version, during the first day of the war, a fellow Master refers to you as ''[[spoiler:"the infamous ghost in the machine."]]'' It isn't quite clear why they do, so [[spoiler:it is likely a translation error, as the JP version has the master with a different concern]].
* GirlyRun: The female protagonist runs like this. They way how she walks slowly is also lady-like.
* HelloInsertNameHere: Despite having a canonical name, in the games themselves, the player may name them whatever they wish.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In the end, the protagonist sacrifices himself/herself to seal away the Moon Cell and end the Holy Grail War.]]
%% MOD notice: Do not add Hime Cut. It has to be matched by personality traits, not just the hairstyle.
* HiddenBuxom: It is admittedly DependingOnTheArtist, but the times where the Female version of Hakuno shows up in the CCC manga shows that she's not [[https://i.imgur.com/SyJlDoy.png small-chested]] [[https://i.imgur.com/E8Spn2c.png as you]] [[https://i.imgur.com/bdjnX43.jpg would think]].
* HumanPopsicle: [[spoiler:Their originals have been placed in cryogenic suspension.]]
* IdenticalStranger: Material art and the ''Last Encore'' anime reveals that the Female Hakuno [[spoiler:looks incredibly similar to Blackmore's late wife, Anne.]]
* InformedAbility: Played with. Hakuno is referred to as a terrible Master in the beginning, and their servants even tell them that they are not at their peak, but a check of their Servants' canon stats shows Archer with higher Strength, Luck, and Clairvoyance than under Rin Tohsaka, and Gilgamesh with stats equal to those under Tokiomi Tohsaka. It can be assumed that by the end of the war, they have grown into a stronger Master and their Servants have regained their former strength.
* InSeriesNickname: Goes hand-on-hand with HelloInsertNameHere; you can also pick a personal nickname. But in general: Saber’s Praetor, Archer’s Master, Caster’s Goshujin-sama(Master, doubles as Husband), Gilgamesh’s Mongrel, Red Lancer’s Pig (male protagonist) and Baby Squirrel (female protagonist), Sakura’s and BB’s Senpai, [[spoiler:and after Leo’s death, Rani’s Chief/President]].
* InteractiveNarrator: Sometimes, it's hard to tell when the protagonist is thinking or actually talking. The only time we know they're talking is when someone replies.
* MulticoloredHair: [[spoiler:''Last Encore'''s female Hakuno has, in addition to her normal dark brown hair, has the hair going down her back fade into a much lighter, almost orange, brown at her hair ends]].
* NonActionGuy:
** Early on, it's mentioned that you're basically dead once your Servant gets KO'd.
** [[spoiler:Averted in the adaptations of the game, as Hakuno is as active as any other normal Master would be, and does his best to aid his Servant in any way possible, such as (in one instance of the Drama CD) distracting Dan Blackmore by being a target themselves for Sir Dan's code cast, which allows Saber to cut down Archer's Noble Phantasm without the distraction from Sir Dan. As he still pales in strength in comparison to other, stronger Masters, he relies on his wits and intuition to win.]]
* OfficialCouple: Male with Saber (in Blossom Sensei Vol.3, manga, and drama CD), Female with Archer (in Blossom Sensei Vol.3 and the third volume of the official anthology comic). In ''Extella: The Umbral Star'' and ''Extella Link'', it's indicated they've hooked up with Caster as well, as she refers to her realm as their "love nest" and comments that they're practically married.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Anime Hakuno is a Dead Face, someone who has died, but still lives. Rani declares that using his new ThePowerOfHate-based powers will result in LossOfIdentity, and Rin basically cements the undead status two episodes later.]]
* PlayerCharacter: An interesting case where Hakuno's initial personality is that of a blank slate (due to their memory loss) just like any other player character, but as the story progresses, their narration makes it quite clear that they are developing their own motivations and traits, thus averting FeaturelessProtagonist. Even though dialogue choices are available to the player, the story and character interactions are linear and only change between silly or serious options. [[spoiler:TheReveal only adds to the above.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: In the anime, Hakuno more or less admits to this. For some reason, he feels extreme hatred towards the Moon Cell, and it empowers him to {{Determinator}} levels. [[spoiler:This is because he's a Dead Face, which is basically a walking personification of hatred.]]
* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: [[spoiler:Shown Gil's past from the perspective of Enkidu, with Enkidu being the one giving them the visions.]]
* PunnyName: Hakuno Kishinami is an anagram for "kimi no na hakushi", meaning "[[HelloInsertNameHere your name's blank"]].
* PurelyAestheticGender: There are very few dialogue changes or differences in gameplay based on your chosen gender. For example, aside from one optional comment, Caster will still refer to the female protagonist as her husband, Issei will accuse you of talking to Rani out of lust, and random Masters will clearly act as though the protagonist is either male or a lesbian. On the other hand, the female protagonist has some bonus dialogue with Archer, which is quite funny.
* TheReveal:
** [[spoiler:The protagonists are actually [=NPCs=] based off one of the previously living Humans, but somehow wound up developing his/her own will and becoming one of the Masters in the Holy Grail War.]]
** [[spoiler:In the ending, it is additionally revealed that the originals are still alive, but have been placed in cryogenic suspension since the [[NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup only doctor who can perform the procedure that can cure them died in the same attack]]. Until another one can repeat the procedure, they're going to stay there. And even ''if'' the original was to be revived, they would have no memories and be a different person from the AI copy that participated in the Grail War.]]
** [[spoiler:Episode 8 of the anime reveals that the Hakuno we've been following isn't the real Hakuno, who died at the start with her servant Saber. He is just the hatred of all the masters killed by Twice formed around the original Hakuno.]]
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: So much so that Rin mistakes them for a NPC instead of a participating Master. [[spoiler:She is not totally wrong.]]
* SailorFuku: The female protagonist wears this in ''CCC''.
* SchrodingersPlayerCharacter:
** Both male and female protagonists can be seen in the background of the prologue. You only play as one of them per playthrough.
** [[spoiler:In ''CCC'', there’s a slight variation between female and male protagonist, most glaring is Meltryllis’s infatuation shifts to Archer if the protagonist is female and as a result, male protagonist can’t unlock Archer’s third SG.]] Different Servant and Gender combination choice also changes several of their relationship between their chosen Servant.
* ShounenHair: The male protagonist's hairstyle.
* StaringDownCthulhu: By the end of Week [[spoiler:5, the protagonist [[TookALevelInBadass has become tough enough]] to no longer be affected by Julius's DeathGlare.]]
* SweetTooth: ''CCC'' materials reveal that the Female Protagonist likes candy and the Male Protagonist himself favors anmitsu (a type of Japanese dessert).
* UnwantedHarem: While both genders wind up with tons of chicks after them, it seems to be the male protagonist that stands out in canon. It even carries into side materials for him.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:Similar to Alice and Twice, they are basically a being that can only exist in the virtual world; the difference between them and Twice and Alice is that they are a digital ghost of a still-living human in cryogenic stasis back on Earth.]]
* TheVoiceless: Played with; Hakuno is the narrator and thus speaks to other characters without the dialogue box, and in addition, they have not been voiced in the main games to allow the players to project their voice onto them. However, at multiple times, their Servants (especially Saber) mention that they have a very beautiful voice. Naturally, this is dropped in the anime.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Both Saber and Rin note many times of their determined eyes when they have their goal set in mind. In ''CCC'', BB's infatuation with the protagonist often revolves around the fact that she likes their glaring eyes, and her Secret Garden is the only one that has the "looking into each other's eyes" pose. Even ''Gilgamesh'' thinks that Hakuno's eyes are "pleasing" when [[spoiler:he got sealed by BB and his "instinct" appears before them]].

[[folder:Shinji Matou]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/HiroshiKamiya (Japanese), Creator/KyleMcCarley (English, Anime), Arturo Castañeda (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:119:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_extrashinji_308.png]]

The Master of Rider. Like his ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, he is a "friend" to the Protagonist in the loosest sense of the word, behaving like an arrogant and childish bully. His objective in the Holy Grail War is simply to win for the prestige.

----
* AdaptationalHeroism: While he's still a dick, he's less enough of one for fans to find him somewhat tolerable and likeable. CCC Fox Tail is this UpToEleven [[spoiler:admitting that he does see Hakuno as a friend and doing all that he can to save him from Kazuradrop. It's telling that he actually got Violet to respect him and call him her master]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: His anime counterpart turns on Hakuno and tried to kill him before the Grail War even starts, whereas his game version at least acted as though they were friends until they learned they were matched up against each other. Even then, his game counterpart only did so under the rules, and thought the whole thing was a game.
* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: He doesn't realize the Holy Grail War is not a game until [[spoiler:he dies in the original game or killed someone in Last Encore]].
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Either he's a designer baby or a homunculus; his parents seem less to have "birthed" him and more to have "created" him. His genius while being 8 years old is because of that]].
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler:After Meltryllis stabs him]].
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:In real life, he's actually an eight-year-old gaming prodigy]].
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler:Or rather, one he never met, since his mother used a sperm donor]].
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Hacks the system to place a virus inside himself, and lets himself get absorbed by Meltryllis to nerf her absurdly high level.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** [[spoiler:Really loves [[CurbStompBattle beating up weak players]], but just cannot accept Meltryllis' insane game-breaking levels and thus, throws in his share of effort to take her out]].
** His actions in Last Encore are all motivated by shock at learning he actually killed a real person.
* {{Expy}}: Looks pretty much identical to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight's'' Shinji Matou, but with a lighter hair color and, according to the playable Archer, being actually [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold good at heart]].
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Subverted in ''EXTRA'', but in ''CCC'', he willingly sacrifices himself and makes peace with the Protagonist before dying. This trope also applies in ''Last Encore''.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He repeatedly references "prize money" like in any other online gaming tourney, even offering to split it if the Protagonist throws the match. With everyone else aiming for the Holy Grail, Shinji clearly has no idea what the War is actually about... which becomes clear [[spoiler:when he loses]].
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In CCC Foxtail, he's at first on Hakuno's side once they wake up in the far side of the Moon Cell due to both of them losing their memories, [[spoiler:after Kazuradrop returns his memories he joins Kazuradrop but realizes that he doesn't hate Hakuno despite being killed by him. After Hakuno is on the verge of deletion, he turns against Kazuradrop to protect his friend.]]
* HeelRealization: After he got stabbed by Meltryllis [[spoiler:and used as a virus along with Lancer to corrupt Sakura]], he has a visible change of attitude close to HeroicBSOD. [[spoiler:It seems he keeps watching the Grail War even after he died and plunged into the sea of imaginary number, as he notices the protagonist's cries and remembers him in the following weeks. When the student council members’ collective memories is back, he quickly shifts into a non-antagonistic role, even when still insisting that IWorkAlone.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In CCC Fox Tail chapter 44, he protects Violet from being eaten by Kazuradrop at the cost of his life, reasoning that Leo, Gawain, and Violet are needed in the fight against her]].
* InfantImmortality: {{Averted|Trope}} in an unusual way, considering his death is the moment is the moment we find out he was a child.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:By Meltryllis in CCC.]]
** In Fox Tail, [[spoiler: He get impailed by Kazudrop's insect eater skill to protect Violet.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Justified. [[spoiler:He thinks everything is a game during Extra and doesn't realize the danger he and the others face. He completely drops this and is a NiceGuy in CCC since he remembers what happened. There's also the fact that he's really only eight years old, and children at that age are still rather self-engaged.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
** According to the playable Archer, he's this. Considering that he thinks it's all a game [[spoiler:and he's only eight years old]], its very possible that he's sincere about his offer ([[ButThouMust which you cannot accept]]) before the Elimination Battle, rather than just being a condescending jerk.
** If the protagonist loses said battle, however, the emphasis is put on the Jerk part. [[KickTheDog He basically says he hates you for challenging him, still thinking it's a game.]] This is because all of your dialogue options before it starts have either you or your Servant throwing his offer back in his face.
** At the start of CCC, when he faced deletion, the protagonist tries to help him. But he tries to get them away by shouting abuses, because that's just the way 'friends' are.
** In Last Encore, he manages a nice and peaceful city built for people who don't want to keep fighting.
* LargeHam: "[[HumongousMecha SHIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJIII TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK!!!!!!!!]]"
* LooseLips: He tends to brag (and drop info in the process) about his Servant a lot. Justified, since he's [[spoiler:an eight-year-old kid, and kids at that age tend to brag a lot]]. His overconfidence doesn't help, either.
* NeverMyFault: All the time. [[spoiler:But let's face it, most people at eight years old do the same thing.]]
* MythologyGag:
** He's arrogant, has quite a few female classmates fawning over him and is somehow friends with the main character, just like his ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart.
** In CCC Foxtail, he [[spoiler:partners up with Violet who just so happens to look like Rider Medusa, one of his counterpart's servants]].
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Infects his body with a virus so that when Meltryllis absorbs him, it drops her level from 999 all the way back to 1.]]
* TakingTheBullet: In Fox Tail [[spoiler: He jumps between Violet and Kazudrop right before the latter devours the former, saving Violet at the cost of his own life.]]
* WhyCantIHateYou: In CCC Fox Tail, [[spoiler:he turns on Hakuno after remembering he lost to him and thus was killed. But despite that Shinji doesn't hate Hakuno to his confusion. He realizes that as he was deleted he saw Hakuno crying over his deletion and thus he still sees Hakuno as his friend.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:He's actually only eight years old, despite having the appearance of a teenager in the game.]]

[[folder:Dan Blackmore]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/{{Mugihito}} (Japanese), Ian Alden (English, Anime), Santos Alberto (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_dan_8118.png]]

The Master of Archer, an elderly soldier who serves the Queen of England. His absolute adherence to chivalry puts him at extreme odds with his Servant, whose own method of fighting is incompatible with Blackmore's ideals.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: The corruption of the Moon Holy Grail War by Chakravartin in the anime adaptation has marooned him and Archer on the second ring of the Moon Cell. Having been trapped there for more than 50 years [[spoiler:after having already lost 999 years ago but given a second chance with the possibility that Moon Cell never recorded his HonorBeforeReason behavior]], he has lost much of his honor and only strives to kill Masters and Servants as quickly as possible in the hopes that doing so enough (he has slain about 30 by the time Hakuno and Saber cross paths with him) will fix the system and finally allow him and his Servant to ascend. This can be seen in him attempting to snipe Hakuno the moment he enters the floor; the Dan Blackmore from the game would have been insulted at the thought of something so ruthless and unnecessary.
* BackFromTheDead:
** Not Blackmore himself, but it's part of his motivation. [[spoiler:He wants to claim the Holy Grail in order to bring back his wife.]]
** Played straight in the anime adaptation, where he is killed but brought back to serve as the second floor boss. He himself is surprised, since he died like he did in game.
* ColdSniper: He used to be one.
* CoolOldGuy: He's a chilverous souilder and a powerful master, who's not above handicaping if he fealt that his servant wronged his enemy.
%%* TheFettered
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He picks up on [[spoiler:aspects of Saber's and Caster's identities]] well before you do.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Even when he dies, he is happy because he was able to serve as a stepping stone for a bright new soul, the protagonist's, to take root.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Despite (or possibly because of) his background as an experienced sniper, he insists on following the rules of the War and more than once prevents his Servant from finishing you off because they did it outside the Arena.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:He even gives advice to the protagonist.]]
* ImprobableAimingSkills: In ''Last Encore'', his aiming skill at first seems absurd when he is trying to snipe Hakuno from a clocktower miles away from the castle Hakuno appeared in with nothing more than an iron-sight. [[spoiler:But then it turns ridiculous when it is revealed he was hiding in the castle all this time and was using the bells in the clocktower to deflect his shots to hit his targets.]]
* NecroMantic: [[spoiler:Wants to bring his wife back to life with the Grail.]]
* OneSteveLimit: Averted as he shares the same last name as [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Gransurg Blackmore]], with no confirmation that he is related to him in any way.
* RetiredBadass: Used to be a sniper in the military.

[[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_aliceextra_8182.png]]

The Master of Caster, a mysterious young girl that supposedly haunts the third floor of the school. When she meets the protagonists, she's happy to finally have someone to play with.
----
* AbusiveParents: According to Alice, her ''"Daddy got mad if [she] said it hurts"''.
* AliceAllusion: Besides her name and appearance, she and her Servant drop other ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' references, such as to the March Hare, as well as to ''Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}'', another work by "[[Creator/LewisCarroll Professor Dodgson]]".
* AssimilationBackfire: [[spoiler:In the anime adaption, she absorbs the data from items located throughout the floor to sustain her physical form, but doing so begins to backfire when she takes in the mana of too many things, resulting in her body transforming into a disgusting ShapeshifterMashup of the things she has drained of mana, that eventually loses any semblance of a human form]].
* BlessedWithSuck: [[spoiler:In the anime adaption, due to her status as being already deceased, the Moon Cell couldn't kill her when she technically lost to Hakuno in their skirmish, allowing her to continue her existence. Unfortunately, it came with a whole new page of complications when the Moon Cell's other sets of programming tried to erase her on the foundation as a "ghost", causing her to suffer an endless groundhog day tug-of-war for a millennia instead.]]
* CheerfulChild: Just like [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Ilya]], when she's not being a CreepyChild, she's this.
* CreepyChild: She tends to say some pretty unnerving things, and it gets more pronounced when she's around her Servant.
* CreepyTwins: Pulls it off with her Servant, who copies her form.
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:She was originally a girl who lived in England during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, when she was gravely injured during an air raid towards the end of the war. During her stay at the hospital, it was discovered that she had magic circuits and was kept alive for research purposes. After several years, her physical body died but her mind continued to live on in the cyber world.]]
* ElegantGothicLolita: She wears blue and white in contrast to her Servant.
* EmptyShell: [[spoiler:In Meltryllis’s dungeon. Caster was turned into a doll and torn apart by Meltryllis, and because Alice's connection with her Servant is like a mirror, this left Alice as helpless as the torn doll. She’s described as “the soul leaving from [her] eyes, even though she’s still alive,” after making her last words a plea to give Caster back. Only by returning the real Caster to Alice can she can finally pass on.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:She even comforts her Servant.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: In the anime [[spoiler:she becomes a terrifying monster made up of items and objects that she drained the data of to sustain herself. In this state, she cannot speak or really control her actions, lashing out in fear and pain until she went mad. She only regains her sanity when she spots Hakuno with the book he read to her in the past, just in time for Saber and Rin to kill her.]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** A lot of her dialogue during the tail-end of the 3rd week remarks on how she and the protagonist are similar, except that the protagonist still has somewhere to go back to.
** Also, look at [[spoiler:her limbs. Those are ball-joint limbs]].
** In the anime, [[spoiler:look at the shadow of the monster.]]
* HopelessBossFight: In the anime, [[spoiler:because of Nursery Rhyme's Noble Phantasm, her monster form is unkillable since a decisive blow will cause time to reset to the beginning of the day. The only reason she's defeated is because she regains her sanity at the last moment and opts not to have Nursery Rhyme activate it.]]
* MysticalWhiteHair: She can use magic like any other Master. It also accentuates her mysteriousness.
* NiceGirl: Not counting her CreepyChild tendencies, Alice has a sweet and innocent personality. [[spoiler:She even goes to the extent of comforting her servant when she's about to fade away.]]
* ThirdPersonPerson: Made doubly confusing by her Servant also going by the name Alice. Thankfully, the in-game text is ColorCodedForYourConvenience.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:Though her physical body died a long time ago, she still lives on as a ghost in the cyber world.]]

The Master of Lancer, a mentally unstable woman who constantly wears the clown mascot costume of a popular hamburger shop. She will only eat that which she loves, resulting in a bizarre eating disorder that resulted in her consuming her own parents, pet and child. Her wish is to obtain the Holy Grail and make all of humanity like her.
----
* AdaptedOut: She does not appear in the anime adaptation.
* CoolMask: Never seen without her clown mask.
* HiddenEyes: According to the protagonist, only the black pupils are visible through the mask.
* HorrorHunger: She can only eat things or ''[[ImAHumanitarian people]]'' she loves.
%%* IdiotHair
* ImAHumanitarian: As a part of her eating disorder, she has eaten her parents and ''her baby''. [[spoiler: Unless, as Vlad III suggested in his [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder interlude in another game]], she instead just really wanted to but resisted.]]
* IWasQuiteALooker: In the Manga version, before the start of her disorder.
* LeanAndMean: She is rather thin while also being the second tallest female in the entire Nasuverse (and that's only because Meltryllis's height includes her fake legs), and she is insane.
%%* MalevolentMaskedMen
* MonsterClown: She's a cannibal who dresses like a clown.
%%* PeekABangs
* SheCleansUpNicely: The art book shows what she looks like without the clown mask and she's ''gorgeous''.
* ShoutOut: An obvious reference to the Japanese version of Ronald [=McDonald=] and his "RAN-RAN-RUUUU" catchphrase. Her English name is also a pun to 'Ronald'.
-->'''Protagonist''': ''Curly red hair. Clown make-up and costume. Awkward, gangly figure. [[LampshadeHanging Why does this ring a bell?]]''
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Due to katakana ambiguity, her Japanese name could be Romanized either "Lanrukun" or "Ranruu-kun".
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:In Rani's Route you never encounter her]].
* TragicMonster: It's not ''her'' fault she's crazy. Even her desire to make all humanity like her is rooted not in some sort of evil scheme, but in the fact that she's tired of being a lonely freak and genuinely believes humankind would be better off if they were like her.

!!!Voiced by: Creator/KentaroIto
[[quoteright:158:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_goutou_monji_6640.png]]

The Master of Berserker, a fanatic who ascribes to a number of different religions and worships his Servant as his god. He believes that he can save humanity through his self-made religion and strives to make his Servant into a true deity. Unfortunately, he is an incredibly poor Master and only serves to hinder his Servant's true potential.
----
* AdaptedOut: He does not appear in the anime adaptation.
* TheAntiNihilist: He really did go on a pilgrimage to study every single religion to get a better understanding of the world; it’s just the conclusion he reached is that humanity are such assholes they would create religions just to gain scapegoats for their own misery in form of the gods. Even so, he still thinks humanity has a chance simply because it’s just because of their luck that they suffer, and there’s always a next time.
* AscendedExtra: Plays a more important role in ''CCC'' as one of the former Masters who joins the student council to escape. He even offers help and advice several times and is involved in a few side quests.
* BeliefMakesYouStupid: It's not clear whether he would have been this nuts without religious belief, but it is noted that because of his incompetence, his Servant isn't capable of fighting at full power.
* CorruptChurch: He indicates that he has joined many religions, and expresses disgust at the "compromises and hypocrisies" that organized religion makes to survive in the world.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: He mentions Kiara Sesshouin as a religious figure of import in one of his rants, setting up for her presence in ''CCC''.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Walks into a barrier set up by Jinako which will delete anyone who enters.]]
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:When he loses and starts fading away, he begs Berserker to let him hear her voice. His wish is granted, because Berserker loses her Mad Enhancement and regains her ability to speak. She explains that she is not a god and bids him farewell, promising to meet him again when he is reincarnated.]]
* NotWhatItLooksLike: When you visit the girl you saved in the Nurse's Office, he'll think you're "seeing her" in a different manner:
--> ''I did not want to believe it, but a clandestine tryst is being held! Young [[SchrodingersPlayerCharacter man]]/[[PurelyAestheticGender lady]], [[SexIsEvil follow the path of abstinence and righteousness!]]''
* NoIndoorVoice: [[LampshadeHanging You can even point it out.]]
* ReligiousBruiser: All his jumbled mess of religious talk is not just for show. When he’s facing someone with strong religious background, he can hold a conversation about obscure supernatural references like taunting Caster with aburaage and explaining what the jhanas are when Kiara speaks of it.
* TheUnfought:[[spoiler: In Rin’s Route you never encounter him.]]
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: It's revealed in the material book that even Kiara, who has seduced countless people under her sway, couldn't stand his religious zealotry.
* WarriorPoet: See ReligiousBruiser. When comparing the Far Side of the Moon with Shangri-la or the Dragon King’s Palace because its beauty is eternal unlike the Near Side’s day-to-day slaughter, you cannot help but to agree that he, in some way, is right.

The Master of Assassin, who initially appears as a teacher.
----
* BackFromTheDead:
** [[spoiler:He becomes a cyber ghost after his defeat, and appears in the Arena on the first day of the 7th week.]]
** [[spoiler:In the anime, he became a Dead Face when the cast meets him in Episode 8 and is determined to kill Hakuno.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:In ''CCC'', he saves the protagonist after BB tries to have them deleted because he remembers their acts of kindness to him as a Virtual Ghost in the first game.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He's been an assassin from a young age, was rejected by his father to the point where he wasn't even permitted to call him 'father' and [[spoiler:was forced to kill the only person who ever showed him any love.]] It's a surprise that he's as restrained as he is.
* DeathGlare: He stares at the protagonist in a ''very'' unnerving manner, and its effects are described well enough to be considered InUniverse NightmareFuel and ParanoiaFuel.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:After he grants his mother's last wish, to protect Leo, he planned to join her in death.]]
* DissonantSerenity: When you face him [[spoiler:the second time]], at least at first.
* EvenEvilHasStandards; He's rather disturbed by the implications of Kiara's hacking, which could easily be seen as mind raping the target to get their secrets and break them psychologically. Given his DarkAndTroubledPast, it makes sense why he'd be against it.

* OnlySaneMan: As the only [[YoungerThanHeLooks ‘adult’]] in the Student Council, he becomes the only one who grounds the rest to their mission while they often got sidetracked.
* PlayingWithSyringes: When he was a kid, he had his liver removed ''without'' anesthesia just to see how he reacted to pain.
* RedBaron: His reputation as an assassin earned him the nickname "Black Scorpion".
* SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:To the point where the protagonist actually cries for him or tries to hold his hand. The protagonist feels some deep empathy with his lack of identity given their own issues with amnesia.]]
* TallDarkAndHandsome: A female student mentions this trope word for word, but also put emphasis on the Dark part.
* TheUnfavorite: He wasn't born with "that which was needed to lead the Harways", which meant he was treated ''very'' poorly.
* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler:After his first defeat.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Implied in the series of visions preceding the second battle with him. Outright stated so by Leo in CCC when he says both him and Julius are in a same age, and Leo is about 15.

[[quoteright:161:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1extrarin_3444.png]]

The Master of Lancer. She is a descendant of the Tousaka lineage of magi and one of the most famous spirit hackers in the world. Despite looking and acting the same as her ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, she is a different person. An honors student and the idol of Tsukimihara Academy.
----
* CreepyCoolCrosses: Like her ''F/SN'' counterpart, she has one on her top.
* {{Expy}}: Looks and behaves almost identically to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight's'' Rin Tohsaka and even has the same name, though Archer notes that they're not the same person. Rather, she is apparently the original Tohsaka's niece. Since magecraft in the world of Extra works is based in hacking, she's much more talented with technology than her predecessor. [[spoiler:Also, in the real world she's actually blonde.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Calm about it when you defeat Lancer on Rani's route and says she's glad, since she's sure that the protagonist will defeat Leo.]]
* FingerlessGloves: That are part of her jumper.
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:She fused with her servant in the anime and can use his powers whenever she wants to.]]
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:One more gentle than the protagonist has ever seen her give.]]
* GirlishPigtails: The "two side up" variant that the original Rin from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' also had.
* GracefulLoser: She's genuinely happy when the protagonist beats her and wishes the best for her.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: If questioned about school or her dreams before the match, she admits that after everything is done she'd like to just quit all this terrorism stuff, head back to Japan and go to a normal school without having to worry about anything anymore.
* IWasJustPassingThrough: According to her, she just wanted to say hello to Julius, saving your life was an unintended side effect. Could be true: She ''really'' hates the Harways.
* LaResistance: [[spoiler:She's a member of one such group in the real world, fighting against the Western European Plutocracy.]]
* MaleGaze: In the official art.
* MoneyFetish: She hacked a 5M worth of Ruby into the commissary. She's noted by many as 'money-worshipper'. Because the circumstances of her birth are harsh even though she's from a notable family, money is equal to power for her. But as this is [[{{Tsundere}} Rin]] we're talking about, she of course denies it... at least until the protagonist calls her out for being a capitalistic bitch in CCC.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: She feels up the protagonist on their first meeting, thinking they're a regular NPC. She does this regardless of their gender, and [[PurelyAestheticGender they have]] [[LesYay identical reactions]].
* OrderVersusChaos: The Chaos to Leo's Order. She's willing to struggle for freedom, even if it means disrupting the Harway's peace.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Referred to as "Rin Tousaka" in the translation, instead of "Tohsaka" as in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* StockingFiller: Wears one garter.
* ShoutOut: During the lunch scene on her route:
--> ''... [[Memes/TheSimpsons (Urge to kill, rising.)]]''
* {{Tsundere}}: A Harsh type, just like the original Rin.
* WorthyOpponent: By the time her match comes around, should you be on the proper route for it, she admits to the protagonist's ability and rather wistfully admits that she rather likes them and that they could have been friends if they'd met in the real world.

[[folder:Rani VIII]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/AsamiSanada (Japanese), Creator/ChristineMarieCabanos (English, Anime), Verania Ortiz (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:148:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_rani_5104.png]]

The Master of Berserker and an alchemist from the Atlas Institute in Egypt. Because she is a homunculus created specifically to participate in the Holy Grail War, she does not appear to follow her own will and considers herself a tool of her teacher. WordOfGod states her creator was Sialim Eltnam Re-Atlasia, [[Videogame/MeltyBlood Sion Eltnam]]'s younger twin sister, the original having died in this universe.

----
* AbsoluteCleavage: She wears a blouse with a V-shaped neckline that plunges half way down to her navel.
* AlchemyIsMagic: She is an alchemist of the Atlas Institution, and practices astrology as well as spirit hacking.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: In her lunch scene, she cooks Egyptian food, and in [[spoiler:the 5th Week's [[IntimateHealing Magic Circuit Repair scene]]]] Archer wonders whether she's Egyptian or Babylonian. The presence of a bindi on her forehead also suggests an Indian influence in her design. In ''CCC'' she clarifies that she's Egyptian, but her creator enjoyed Indian culture and that influenced her design somewhat.
* {{Astrologer}}: She can also do this, uses this talent to divine information about you and several of your enemies.
* BecomeARealBoy: [[spoiler:Her goal and what happens on her route.]]
* CovertPervert: Her third SG dwells in the fact that she's too dependent to outside figure, hating that, but doesn't really know what to do to rebel. When noted that her contradiction of the reason why she's GoingCommando is because she can't make differences between rational thought and personal preferences, she has a revelation of her own freedom by embracing her inner perversion and becomes a shameless exhibitionist. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Purple eyes and hair
* DeadpanSnarker: She seems to grow into this in CCC. When Rin's insensitive about Sakura's embarrassment of the DoubleEntendre she said about the protagonist's dive inside Sakura's internal working, Rani comforts Sakura by making a jab at Rin.
--> "I am still studying emotions myself, but Miss Tohsaka is a truly excellent teacher. Of what not to do, that is."
* EmotionlessGirl: Due to being a homunculus. A major part of her route is her coming to terms with her feelings for the protagonist.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:If you're on Rin's route, this is what happens after you beat her in the 6th week Elimination Battle. Also happens in the anime, staying in the dying Second Floor while wishing Hakuno good luck.]]
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her stockings are different colors, and she ties part of her hair in a right-sidetail.
* {{Meganekko}}: Her glasses are actually scanners with a variety of functions. In ''CCC'', she also declares that "girls with glasses are supreme".
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:She somehow survives both her own self-destruction ''and'' being stabbed by ''[[BladeOnAStick Gae]] [[AttackOnTheHeart Bolg]]'' regardless of which girl is saved.]]
* OurHomunculiAreDifferent: Unlike other homunculi featured in the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}, it's shown that at least some of her internal organs are made of opal or at least something that looks like it. Her heart is made of both etherlite and opal. She's also designed with a self-destruct mechanism.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:During her battle with Rin, she notices that she's likely to lose, and due to a directive, she is to destroy herself ''and'' the Moon Cell in case of failure. It doesn't work due to the protagonist's intervention, regardless of who you choose to save]].
* UnskilledButStrong: She's an excellent hacker and a powerful Master, but in battle she is noted to display much less skill than Tousaka, [[spoiler:which gives the latter the edge when the are paired during the third round. Rani knows it as well as it turns what would have been an even fight into one in Tousaka's favor, causing her to attempt to destroy the Moon Cell itself.]]
* VaporWear: The CCC Fox Tail manga shows that she doesn't wear panties and is apparently not bothered or upset when a gust of wind reveals this to Hakuno and Caster.

[[folder:Leonard Bistario Harway]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/RomiPark (Japanese), Creator/LauraStahl (English), Emiliano Ugarte (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:106:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_leo_6823.png]]

The Master of Saber. Leo is the heir to the Harway family that controls a third of the world's land and two thirds of its wealth. He seeks the Holy Grail to expand the influence of the Harways to the entire world, sincerely believing that it is in humanity's best interest.

He is supremely confident in his ability, having never known defeat or failure. Because of this, he does not even bother to hide the identity of his Servant as Gawain, one of the Knights of the Round Table. However, this means he has never experienced normal human emotions such as despair or courage.

----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Along with CharacterizationMarchesOn, even. Leo is far friendlier in ''CCC'' than he was in the first Extra game. [[spoiler:Considering that he is making up time for being unable to have a chance for a normal high school life and made up to it with friendly banter and teen like shenanigans]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: Due to being saved from death in the anime, Leo is swayed to Twice's side and ends up becoming more cruel then he was in game. Instead of believing himself to be the hope of mankind, he no longer cares for mankind, happy to let it wash away. He is also much more condescending towards people, even treating his Servant as a mere tool instead of an ally like in game.
* AffablyEvil: He's pretty nice throughout the game to the protagonists, [[spoiler:even after they kill his brother]].
* DarkMessiah: As explained in WellIntentionedExtremist. If wiping out a continent for the future is for the best, then so be it.
* EvilDebtCollector: Played for laughs in ''CCC''; after the protagonist borrows his money to buy something for Sakura, he immediately sics Gawain on them to collect the debt. According to WordOfGod, the male protagonist hates him for that.
* ExperimentedInCollege: Outright says he did so (in high school) in ''Foxtail'', when Rin accuses him of not being bisexual.
%%* FaceDeathWithDignity
* FatalFlaw: [[spoiler:Not his pride, which is largely justified. Rather, he lacks perspective and the emotions and traits associated with overcoming adversity such as determination and ambition.]]
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Surprisingly, he's foolish to Julius' responsible. He always drags the reluctant Julius along for some perverted hijinks. [[spoiler:From his monologue after Gawain finally got curbstomped by BB, he seems to want to make up the time of not being a normal high school student before he was defeated in the Grail War.]]
* GentlemanAndAScholar: He is very charming and brilliant, and honestly believes ''he'' will win the Holy Grail Tournament. What keeps him from being an InsufferableGenius is his mannerisms and innocent outlook of the world's state of affairs.
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After his defeat at the hands of the protagonist.]]
* InformedAttribute: He's referred to as the strongest Master, but it's not exactly difficult to win [[spoiler:when your Servant is literally invincible.]] He has a simplistic world view, little emotional depth or understanding, and generally fails to use any sort of actual tactics. Some of this is intentional, but it can become difficult to see why he's taken so seriously. He ''is'' bright enough not to fall for obvious traps, but Gawain is easy enough to provoke, which allows the protagonist to disable Gawain's abilities enough to have a chance at winning.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:What he truly needed to be able to become a king was to know defeat. But in learning defeat, he is immediately doomed thanks to the rules of the Holy Grail War.]]
%%* KnightTemplar
* LightIsNotGood: Closely associated with the Sun.
* NotSoStoic: Gets really excited at the prospect of fighting the protagonist. [[spoiler:Also, when he's defeated. He even [[TearsOfRemorse cries]].]]
* OrderVersusChaos: The Order to Rin's Chaos. He promotes peace at the cost of individual freedom.
* PlayingWithSyringes: [[spoiler:He had extensive surgery when he was only ''three'' years old.]]
* TheStoic: Responds to everything very calmly, even the prospect of his brother dying.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Leonard or Leonardo? The official translation uses both at times.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:One of the proposed in-universe theories on the World's future demise is called "Overcount 1999". In this scenario, the very soul of the Earth is hurt and causes its natural resources to die and ultimately an inability to continue living on the planet. For a while such a cause was considered unknown. But in ''Last Encore'', Twice reveals who was responsible for the ritual that caused Overcount 1999 and the ensuring resource crisis that the whole of Fate/EXTRA's Earth suffers: '''the Harways.''']]
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He's fine with letting the world stagnate as long as peace is maintained in the process.
* VisionaryVillain: He truly believes that his taking control of the human race will lead to an era of peace and stability. The protagonist often states that they sense no animosity or maliciousness in Leo, just an unwavering conviction.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He believes that what humanity desires most is comfort and stability, and if it takes [[KillEmAll wiping out]] [[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide all of Asia]] to create that stability, [[AMillionIsAStatistic so be it]]. He also considers restricting the use of technology, and hence of {{Magitek}}, to the elite - that is, his family and their allies - to be in the best interest of everyone. The masses could ''never'' use such power wisely, so Leo and the Harways will do it for them.
* WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide: The population of Asia is viewed as '...expendable' should it come to that.

[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_twice_2527.png]]

A prominent scientist who pioneered the science of digital hacking and a number of advanced medical techniques.
----
* AdaptationExpansion: His role and influence are given more focus in the anime, having him appear as early as the first episode to set him up better in the story. He also appears a few times after when Hakuno is often unsure of himself.
%%* AffablyEvil
* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: [[spoiler:His reason for wanting to start an endless war despite hating it ''very'' greatly.]]
--> '''Protagonist''': [[spoiler:''This man, while despising war and violence, could not ignore the immediate results that war brings.'']]
* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:A version that takes a little of every Class. Before ''Last Encore'', Twice got his wish, but Humanity still lacked the ability to change or advance sufficiently. So he lost faith in Humanity and decided that it would be better to wipe them out, using the Noble Phantasm left behind by Saver to command the Moon Cell to not only wipe out the past thousand years of his failure, but to wipe out all potential timelines, universes and possibilities; destroying whatever future Humanity could have.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:He's the one who came up with the Holy Grail War and its ThereCanOnlyBeOne system. He is also the final enemy faced in the game.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:At least in the anime, and there's the possibility of BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor. He and Saver defeat Saber and her (original) Master, and take control over the Moon Cell with Saver's Noble Phantasm.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: His name is mentioned in the prologue during Taiga's lecture, and his cyber ghost pops up on the third week. Also, after the route split, Tohsaka compares the protagonist to him, though it isn't explained why. He's also the narrator for the monologues given before each round.
* DarkMessiah: [[spoiler:Identified as such in the Extra Materials.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:Died countless times in his attempt to reach the core of the Moon Cell, only to be resurrected due to his NPC status. He continuously tried again until he succeeded.]]
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:In the anime Twice is long dead, having sacrificed himself to trigger his wish. Unfortunately his regrets forms a Dead Face determined to annihilate humanity...]]
* DissonantSerenity: When he mentions his dream is, in his own words:
--> '''Twice''': [[spoiler:''"To see mankind engage in a grand war of mutual extinction."'']]
--> '''Protagonist''': [[spoiler:''There's no hint of insanity visible in his eyes. Naturally, and with obvious sincerity he can somehow utter such a statement of absolute madness.'']]
* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans[=/=]UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Decides that endless war is the best way to get humanity out of the rut it's in, and is willing to murder countless people indirectly (through the Holy Grail War) and directly (the previous winners before the protagonist) to start one.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To the protagonists. [[spoiler:He died in the same incident, started out as a NPC who became self-aware, and fought until he became strong enough to win and reach the Moon Cell, just like the protagonists did. Their intentions, however, are very different.]]
* ForeverWar: [[spoiler:What he wants to bring about.]]
* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:His ''Last Encore'' counterpart is this, as the whole anime is what would happen if Hakuno lost to Twice in the end and he got his wish. [[InSpiteOfANail However]], despite making his wish, Humanity didn't progress like he thought it would and his Dead Face that resulted from using Moon Cell eventually tried to wipe it all out.]]
%%* NarratorAllAlong
* PostHistoricalTrauma: [[spoiler:His hatred of war comes from a combination of this and [[ShellShockedVeteran his own experiences of it]], but he also noticed that [[TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople it brought out the best in people]], leading to his plan to start an endless war.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: In the anime, [[spoiler:Twice using Moon Cell to start his wish resulted in his deletion just like Hakuno. However, it left behind a Dead Face that had command of Saver's Noble Phantasm.]]
* PronounTrouble: In-universe, he tends to rapidly shift back and fourth between the third and first persons, sometimes within the same sentence.
* RenaissanceMan: Pioneered spirit hacking, specialized in cybernetics to improve prosthetics, also did significant work in brain and neurosurgery, electric engineering and network development. All of this before he died at the age of 29.

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amari_misao.png]]

A student at Tsukumihara Academy who is Shinji's girlfriend and Hakuno's friend. She is a brand new character made for the anime. According to the tie-in drama CD her she has a Rider class Servant Vánagandr, aka Fenir

----
* AmbiguousSituation: Her fate at the end of the first episode is left vague. Shinji mentions hiding her in a safe place, but her name appears later on the tower in the school, indicating she might have been deemed worthy of becoming a Master. [[spoiler:Shinji's brutal stabbing of Hakuno, and the Moon Cell itself massacring the students and [=NPCs=] left also leaves her fate very up in the air, until Episode 6, when she's revealed to have made it to the third floor, but even still its not clear if she is still on the floor, dead, or moved on, as the floor messes with people's minds, and by the end of the next episode, her fate is left completely unresolved]].
** The Drama CD reveals that [[spoiler:she returned to the first floor when Chakravartin took over the Moon Cell, and was working with Shinji as commander over the Berserker servants and police force to hunt for Rin. Rin ends up killing her right before the floor ends up flooded.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: While initially acting nice and friendly in Episode 1, when she reappears later in Episode 6, her personality is much more hostile and cold, making it clear her friendliness was a cover.
* CanonForeigner: A brand new character introduced in ''Last Encore'' without any connection to any NPC in the games or past characters.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has bright pink hair that matches her eyes.
* DrowningMySorrows: Amari appears to be doing this in Episode 6. As she muses over her failure to find anyone weaker than her on the third floor, and her self-admittedly meager reasons to compete in the Holy Grail War, she's seen lying on a bed, surrounded by several empty bottles, and she gulps down a full wineglass during the scene.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Due to the circumstances around her birth, Misao wants to win the Grail as a "screw you" to those who saw her as nothing more than a {{Designer Bab|ies}}y, and show the world she has reasons for existing.
* {{Irony}}: Her goal was to find the weakest Master and beat them, only for her to realize ''she'' was the weakest Master she could find. The irony is not lost on her.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: She wears white pantyhose with her school uniform.
* SuperBreedingProgram: By her own admission she was the result of one. Her mother was not able to make it far enough in her plans, so she conceived Misao as a way to solidify her power. Misao is not happy about it one bit.
* TheUnfettered: She declares she will throw away everything and sacrifice as many lives as necessary to win the Holy Grail War.
* UnfortunateNames: She had been mocked in the past because "Amari" means "scraps" or "leftovers" in Japanese.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Her fate is left completely vague by the end of episode 7, and the closest thing the audience is given is the implication she might have been beaten by Rin. Still, by the time the group moves on to the next floor, her status is not mentioned]].
** The Drama CD reveals she was working off screen for Shinji during during Hakuno's visit, running the police force, all in order to hunt down Rin. She's also the one commanding the various servants that attack Rin while Hakuno and Shinji fight. Rin ends up killing her right before the floor ends up flooded.

!!!Voiced by: Creator/SakuraTange (Japanese), Creator/CassandraLeeMorris (English, Anime), Alicia Vélez (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_saber_fate_extra_2875.png]]

One of three Servants available to the Protagonist. Saber is [[{{Expy}} near-identical in appearance]] to the Saber of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''; however, this Saber is vain, self-glorifying and pompous, with a love for the theatrical. Despite this, she genuinely cares for the Protagonist in her own way, and strives to embrace the beauty in all things.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: In CCC promotion artwork along with BB and CCC Type-Moon Virgin White Box.
* AccentAdaptation: Averted; Saber speaks with an accent common to Japanese nobles during Imperial Japan, however, her dialogue is translated into normal English.
%%* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove
* AntiquatedLinguistics: Speaks in an old-fashioned manner, and uses the masculine and archaic "yo" to refer to herself.
* AttentionWhore: Absolutely adores it. She just wants to be loved by everyone like she loves everyone else. There is a reason her nickname is [[spoiler:"The Whore of Babylon"]].
* BarelyThereSwimwear: An unlockable outfit in ''CCC''.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: At least she considers herself to be this. She claims all of the good she did for her people is self-serving, she couldn't care less if people she doesn't love face tragedy and, most importantly, she only knows how to judge people on whether their actions were beautiful or not, not if they were good or bad.
* {{Bokukko}}: In her case, she uses the masculine and archaic first-person pronoun "yo".
* ButNotTooBi: She's openly bisexual, though this line implies she likes girls more:
-->''"Beautiful boys are nice. Beautiful girls are even better! My single preference is beauty!"''
* CallBack: She said she wouldn't mind if she was called [[spoiler:"The Whore of Babylon"]] because of her historical reputation, as long as the main character likes her... guess what she gets called during the the 7th week? Granted, it's someone else calling her that.
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Saber is not ashamed of her sexuality, but simply feels the protagonist is too innocent to do anything to. This doesn't stop her from loving them.
* ChainedByFashion: Her ''CCC'' "Virgin Bride" costume has chains around her neck and wrist.
* ChaoticGood: InUniverse alignment. You'd probably expect an emperor to have a more lawful alignment, but it seems not.
%%* ChivalrousPervert
* CleavageWindow: Both on her chest and on her rear.
* ClingyJealousGirl: In the manga adaptation, when Rani accidentally reveals she is GoingCommando (her skirt blew up), Saber gets upset and accuses her of doing it on purpose to try to seduce Hakuno. She orders Hakuno to stay away from Rani and then asks if he would like it if she went commando.
* CoolSword: Aestus Estus: The Embryonic Flame. It's easily [[{{BFS}} bigger than both protagonists.]]
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Her Imperial Privilege works like this: if I think I can do that, then I can! She becomes a Saber because of this, her class' base stats be damned. She is also capable of [[spoiler:summoning her Golden Theatre in the manner of a Reality Marble, granting herself ''Divinity'', and even summoning [[Literature/BookOfRevelation the Beast from the Book of Revelation]] as a ''riding mount'' due to her moniker as the "Whore of Babylon"]].
* DeusExMachina: [[ConversationalTroping Conversed]] during a private room chat in Week 4. She says her favorite play ended with one for everyone to have happy endings, which the protagonist calls "cheating."
-->'''Saber:''' ''While it is a staple of theater, I do not like it much.''
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: When Archer makes a small quip about Saber's devotion to her Master, she blows up and starts defending herself from perceived accusations of liking Hakuno. This is so at odds with what he was actually saying that a nonplussed Archer can merely respond with "...'Kay." It wasn't so much digging herself deeper as digging the hole entirely by herself.
* DrivenToSuicide: In her first lifetime. She stopped herself many times, as she felt that she had done nothing wrong and that she was punishing the public by having "such a magnificent artist disappear from this world", before finally stabbing her own throat with a knife.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Back when she was alive, she once publicly fought a lion and killed it with her bare hands as a reenactment of Heracles vs the Nemean Lion. Nobody was impressed.
* DumpStat: Luck and Magic, especially since one of her skills limits her ability to use magic even further. Agility is of questionable worth, but it's not unreasonable to put some points into it to stabilize her damage range. Magic is still worth putting a little bit into though as to provide more mana to her.
* TheEmperor: Since Saber is almost as bad about hiding her identity as Caster, she makes it clear early on that she was a Roman Emperor with a poor reputation but with a generally positive reception from the people.
* EvilMatriarch: Her mother was this in her backstory.
* {{Expy}}: Looks pretty much identical to ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight's'' Saber, but with a red dress with a different design, a different sword, bigger breasts, and even shorter in height. Personality-wise, she resembles a mix between Saber and Gilgamesh, with the former's compassion, and the latter's ego.
** If the [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight original Saber]] is associated with [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei]] [[ReiAyanamiExpy Ayanami]], being cold, emotionless, and associated with the color blue, this Saber could be seen as being modeled after her counterpart: Asuka Langley Soryu, being vain, self-obsessed, arrogant, and associated with the color red.
* FriendlyRival: With Lancer [[spoiler:Elizabeth]] because of their similar temperament, hobbies, and utter blindness that they suck at said hobbies.
* GagBoobs: They are really big, especially in the anime.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Seems like they are on a bouncy castle at times. Most noticeable in the bath scene.
%%* GiantPoofySleeves
* GiftedlyBad: Saber adores the arts and considers herself to be a creative savant on par with Apollo, god of the arts. Unfortunately, all signs indicates that her talents were sub-par at best, even before she began to suffer migraines. Her egotism in this field can be best illustrated by the fact that she [[spoiler:built a personal theatre devoted specifically to her own performances, and when people started to leave in the middle of her first recital, she ordered the exits sealed.]] At one point she enthusiastically tells the protagonist about a play she wrote, and the plot is...[[StylisticSuck not very good]].
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/{{Nero]} was notorious for being a hated tyrant who lavished in excessive wealth and ruthlessly oppressed Christianity, but in the Nasuverse she was a kindhearted individual who loved everything in the world but demanded to be loved in kind, not realising that her love was selfish and could not get reciprocated. She fell into despair when her people did not rise to defend her against a coup d’etat, and committed suicide. TruthInTelevision as the real-life Nero was well-liked by his subjects, and [[https://www.livescience.com/64812-nero-emperor-reign-pbs.html some historians believe that the many accounts written about him may have been heavily exaggerated for propaganda purposes]]]].
** [[spoiler:[[WrittenByTheWinners Not very surprising, given that the Romans loved to talk shit about people they disliked whether it was other cultures, their neighbours, or politicians. And Rome’s emperors were no exception whatsoever.]]]]
* HistoricalGenderFlip: Her true identity is [[spoiler:Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 5th Emperor of the Roman Empire.]]
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: In the Fate/Extra universe, her reputation is similar to her real life counterpart, but it's noted that it's not exactly deserved, which makes her an InUniverse example.
* HotBlooded: If it's something that she's passionate of, then she will ''be'' passionate. Her art, her people's wellbeing, and her Master are things that usually give out this reaction. There's also her new skill in ''CCC'', Rose of Closure that Wins the Star;
--> *wall of fire explodes behind her* "My dear Praetor, I love you!"
* IdiotHair: As per Saberface tradition.
* InSeriesNickname: [[spoiler:"The Whore of Babylon"]] is a figure in [[Literature/TheBible The Book of Revelation]]. Many scholars attribute it to [[spoiler:Rome under the reign of Emperor Nero; since Christianity was persecuted. [[HistoricalVillainDowngrade This was downgraded to "discouraged religion"]] in the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}, but since Nero's a [[HistoricalGenderFlip woman]] here, it now refers to ''her.'']]
* InstantExpert: One of her skills allows her to temporarily become this for one other skill. Her Noble Phantasm is even more powerful, as it allows her to become one for multiple skills for as long as it's active.
* InterruptedIntimacy: [[spoiler:Her second Secret Garden event]]. You can thank Rin's phone call for that.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH0bO6tLzgU GRAND]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Though she does care about your well-being and can be pretty compassionate. Otherwise, she almost rivals [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gilgamesh]].
%%* KickingAssInAllHerFinery
* LargeHam: Its implied that this was how her people viewed her acting in her past life. She breaks out the ham occasionally during the War as well.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Saber, Everything is in Her Hand."
* LeotardOfPower: While at first her outfit looks as though she's giving the audience a perpetual PantyShot, it's not actually her panties we're seeing, but [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/Sensui22/303d0226.jpg a leotard]] that she wears under her dress.
* LightningBruiser: Her statline focuses on Strength, Defense, and to a lesser degree Agility the most of all the playable Servants in ''Extra'', with Magic being only viable for increase her magical defense. She is the easiest to play as because of this, and is very strong at the end of the game as a result.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: In spite of her slender build and D Rank Strength, she is incredibly powerful. Even when she was an ordinary human, she could wrestle and choke a lion to death with her bare hands.
* TheNapoleon: She dislikes being reminded of her height, especially if called little or petite.
* NiceGirl: Boastfulness aside she always shows respect to her master [[spoiler: and even comforts them when Shinji dies]]
* OverlyLongName: [[spoiler:Her full name, Nero Claudius Augustus Caesar Germanicus.]]
%%* PimpedOutDress
* {{Pride}}: She rivals ''Gilgamesh'' for the title of "biggest ego in the Nasuverse". It helps that in her case, she doesn't really seem to understand sarcasm and often manages to twist insults into praise for herself.
* RedOniBlueOni: Saber plays this role with Caster in the Omake that show up in the Type-Moon Ace magazine. In a meta sense, she's also the vain, selfish, exuberant red oni to the original Saber's stoic and self-abasing blue oni.
* SarcasmBlind: A lot of Archer's taunts bounce right off Saber since, as he notes, she has a tendency to read the situation at face value.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Unlike ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'''s Saber, who simply doesn't care if anyone happens to see her naked, this Saber isn't afraid to show some skin because she likes the attention. She [[{{Lampshaded}} lampshades]] this in ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'':
--> '''Taiga''': Um, your dress is see-through...\\
'''Saber''': Fool. It's not see-through, I'm ''letting'' people see. Plus, it's cool and breezy...\\
'''Taiga''': Your rear is half-exposed too!\\
'''Saber''': Save the ogling of me for later!
* SomethingAboutARose: They pop out during some of her skills and when she activates her Noble Phantasm.
* {{Stripperiffic}}:
** Her outfit does cover most of her, but it has a CleavageWindow and part of her skirt is transparent, showing her LeotardOfPower (which many players initially thought was a PantyShot).
** It is, however, rather revealing from the back, making this almost a case of SexyBacklessOutfit - almost her entire back is on display above the hips barring the back of the collar and a metal clasp in the small of her back. The back of the skirt actually starts low enough to show off some of the other kind of cleavage.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Saber will not be giddy over your coming through for her in week five, [[{{Tsundere}} not at all.]]
%%* {{Tsundere}}
* VerbalTic: Umu, an archaic variant of "yes" used mostly exclusively by royalty. This trait is shared with royalty Servants like Rama, Iskandar and Ozymandias, but MemeticMutation made the word immediately associated with Nero in the West. In the English Dub of ''Last Encore'', this is replaced with her frequently saying "Indeed".
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Saber does not like the heat in the 5th week Arena (which is a jungle), and expresses the desire to do this should the Item Shop sell bathing suits. In the sequel game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLxek6llm0o you can unlock a skimpy red swimsuit for her to wear]].
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Downplayed. She was very expressive about her tastes as an emperor, but even then she never had the opportunity to live the bridal life she always wanted (until CCC's Nero Ending) because she no one would accept her terms of allowing her to live a double life as a both a housewife and an emperor.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: While referring to the original Saber in passing, she remarks that in life she would also crossdress. However, this wasn't done in order to hide her gender, but rather because she simply liked it more and felt that gender was largely irrelevant. This turns out to be an InformedAttribute, since despite [[InsistentTerminology insisting that her dress is "male attire"]] she's never seen wearing male clothing.
* {{Yandere}}: Not nearly to same extent as Tamamo and the Alter-Egos, but she often tends to proclaim her love for Hakuno and gets very possessive of them [[{{Hypocrite}} despite being a self-admitted harem enthusiast]].

[[folder:Archer (Nameless)]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/JunichiSuwabe (Japanese), Creator/KaijiTang (English, Anime), Joaquín López (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:165:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_archer_fate_extra_5119.png]]

One of three Servants available to the protagonist. A red garbed Archer who fights with two blades, he's sarcastic and blunt, with an uncanny resemblance to a certain Archer [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight from a different Holy Grail War]].
----
* AbnormalAmmo: His bow shoots various {{Oddly Shaped Sword}}s as arrows.
* AbsoluteCleavage: His CCC new costume.
* AlternateSelf: He is an alternate version of Archer from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* AntiHero:
** Defines himself in this manner, noting that he has [[WouldHurtAChild killed children]] and ''innocent'' people in order to protect his ideal.
** In fact, his methods were ultimately what ended his life -- his best friend, concerned that he was on the path towards becoming a KnightTemplar and likely couldn't be persuaded otherwise, turned him in to the police for the various crimes he committed in the name of justice, and he plead guilty to all charges. [[{{Irony}} In the end, the human court system was what sealed his fate, not a glorious heroic death in battle.]]
* BeyondTheImpossible: [[spoiler:Lancer's Gae Bolg bends cause and effect so that it will always pierce the heart, making it impossible to dodge or block it. Yet Archer's Rho Aias can successfully stop it.]]
* {{BFS}}: The skill Caladbolg II/Fake Helix Sword has him firing a magical one. It also automatically inflicts ''Break'' against ''Guard.'' [[UpToEleven Oh, and it's the highest damage skill in the original Extra]], which is why "Caladbolg spam" is the main strategy for boss battles.
* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:The original ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' version of him and Rin can be fought as bosses in ''CCC''.]]
* BornUnlucky: To him, the Luck stat is the DumpStat to end all {{Dump Stat}}s. His life was not a particularly happy one either.
* BowAndSwordInAccord: He uses his bow a lot more than his counterpart does.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
%%* DarkSkinnedBlond
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: The female protagonist has the option of confronting him about his relationship with Rin. He denies any attraction to her, which is fine, but then follows it up by saying her figure isn't really what he considers his type either, apparently alluding to her rather flat and thin figure. The way he does this indicates attraction to the ''protagonist's'' body type, at which point he realizes he's falling directly into this and shuts up immediately.
* DualWielding: Kanshou and Bakuya, just like in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* DumpStat: Just like his ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, it's [[LuckStat Luck]]. Magic ''[[SubvertedTrope seems]]'' like this at first, as his physical attacks are often much stronger. However, the skill Caladbolg II's damage is boosted by the Magic stat and combined with the amplification from his Noble Phantasm, it can become enough to easily dispose of late game bosses (including the BonusBoss) if Archer's magic stat is sufficiently high enough.
** Not only does Archer [[LampshadeHanging lampshade just how bad his luck is]] during one conversation, Luck isn't just ''his'' slowest growing stat -- ''Archer's Luck is so bad it has the slowest growth rate of any stat for all playable Servants''.
* FieldOfBlades: [[spoiler:Unlimited Blade Works.]]
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: His Noble Phantasm is stated to reduce his Projection magic's MP cost to 0, but in gameplay boosts his skill damage and debuff rate instead.
* HasAType: He admits he's got a thing for strong-willed women.
* HeroicSacrifice: Unlike ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', the player can learn what exactly motivated him to make his contract to become a Counter Guardian. [[spoiler:The details may not be 100% clear, but it involved a nuclear reactor in the middle of melting down and having to run a very long way very fast, using up all his magic just to get there, and finding himself unable to stop it on his own.]]
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He refuses to acknowledge that his antiheroic actions were actually appreciated by some people and did save lives.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With the male protagonist.
* HiddenDepths: He knows a surprising amount about vampires, which he reveals if you talk to him on the 4th week.
* JackOfAllStats: In ''Extra'', its encourged to balanced out putting points in most of his stats, as unlike the other two playable Servants, Archer needs a bit of everything to keep up with them. Offensively, he's more powerful when it comes to his physical attacks than Caster, and has better combo potential than Saber does skill wise. At the same time, both of them are much better than him when it comes to what their good at, namely Caster's skills allowing her to trap enemies, and Saber's straight up brawling.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rude and prone to snarking at the protagonist's expense, but he really is trying to help them out and his compliments tend to be sincere.
--> '''Protagonist''': ''My Servant may be pessimistic, cynical, and bitterly sarcastic, but at his core, he is a good person.''
* KnightInSourArmor: He shows compassion for the MC throughout the war but he doesn't fully grow out of this until the final week.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Archer, Nobody Knows Him/The Hero" (A remix of "Emiya" from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'').
* LighterAndSofter: Than his original portrayal in that [[spoiler:he found peace in his ideal and fate as a nameless hero and a Counter Guardian thanks to his character development in the story.]]
* LossOfIdentity: The reason he's treated as not just simply being called Emiya. Unlike the Heroic Spirit Emiya, who was a Counter Guardian who maintained his sense of self, this incarnation forsake his identity to become a hero, throwing it away in exchange for the power to help those in need. While he still is in a way Emiya, and has memories of his past life, having given up his name and identity, he no longer is considered as a person, and is thus called Nameless.
* MythologyGag: He's one huge repository of these. [[spoiler:He compares Shinji and Kotomine to their ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterparts, refers to encountering an invisible sword wielded by "her", and he even compares Alice to Ilya.]]
* PrinciplesZealot: What he believes himself to be during life, the principle in question being justice.
* {{Retcon}}: It is stated in side materials that it is impossible for Fate/Stay Night Archer to replicate Excalibur with projection. In ''CCC'', it was added as one of Archer's skills, and now you can potentially ''spam'' Excalibur Image with few ill effects (minus giant MP loss, of course). The only explanation is a handwave about the quality of wrought iron being higher in the Moon Cell. Said handwave was conceived because the development team had made the animation before consulting Nasu about it.
%%* TheSnarkKnight
%%* SarcasticDevotee
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: He projects all of his weapons whenever he needs them.
* SurvivorGuilt: The E-rank Matrix Event has Archer saying this word for word, and the protagonist musing this is why Archer's original self needed to be a selfless hero so much.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Archer throws Kanshou and Bakuya at the enemy when using the Wing of the Crane Skill, just like in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* TrueNeutral: InUniverse alignment, same as his ''F/SN'' counterpart. Likely a result of him being a Counter Guardian, as the job description is to ensure mankind's and the world's continued survival by trying to keep the balance between the two. Unlike with his original incarnation, he sticks to this goal and doesn't really deviate from his assignment.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Archer can get hit with this trope hard [[spoiler:if you decide to save Rani instead of Rin, which makes Rin your opponent in the 6th week. Archer becomes conflicted as he knew someone [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight very much like Rin]] during his life.]] Bonus points if you know of this ahead of time and do so on purpose.
* VigilanteMan: What he was in life.
%%* WhenHeSmiles
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Downplayed -- not evil, but an AntiHero, and quite sharp-tongued.
* WouldHurtAChild: He notes that he doesn't make a habit of killing kids, but doesn't say that he hasn't done it before. He ''does'' say that he has no problem with killing Alice, though.

[[folder:Caster]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/ChiwaSaito
[[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1caster_fate_extra_1099.png]]

One of three Servants available to the Protagonist. Caster is a playful and mischievous fox girl whose wish is to find someone to whom she can devote herself to entirely, namely the Protagonist. She models herself as a YamatoNadeshiko, but [[BeneathTheMask occasionally lets slip]] hints of a more [[TheTrickster devious]] and [[{{Yandere}} predatory]] personality.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Caster is far nicer here than how she is in her original legend. [[spoiler:Her true identity is Tamamo-no-Mae, a seductress who took sadistic pleasure in engulfing kingdoms in chaos with her wiles and magic. In the Nasuverse, she's a well-meaning but misguided avatar of Amaterasu who was chased out for being a fox instead of actually doing anything wrong. She only turned to evil out of self-defense against the tens of thousands of soldiers sent to kill her. At least, [[UnreliableNarrator that's what she says]], as Tamamo's sometimes psychotic possessiveness and unnerving original self call her interpretation into question.]]
* AmnesiacGod: During her life as a mortal [[spoiler:avatar of Amaterasu]] she was not aware of her true identity.
* AnimeAccentAbsence: Given Caster's age and the time period she came from, you would expect her to have something of an older accent. However, she speaks contemporary Japanese (when she isn't speaking GratuitousEnglish anyway).
* Anticlimax: When she reveals her identity to the protagonist she does it so casually that the protagonist takes a while to notice that she said her actual name instead of simply calling herself Caster.
* TheAtoner: Caster was once a bloodthirsty monster who tried to bring Japan to ruin, and though she still has some CuteAndPsycho and {{yandere}} moments she's trying to redeem herself and atone for her past sins.
* BeneathTheMask: Caster will let slip some [[CuteAndPsycho scary]] comments from time to time. Such as wondering ''out loud'' whether the cries of her opponent will be as good as the last ones.
* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:In ''CCC'', she is one as the servant of Twice.]]
* BrokenBird: Caster has one of the saddest backstories in the entire Nasuverse.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: She's quite the meta girl and refers to the T regulations preventing adult content and her own affection points at times.
* CannotKeepASecret: She's trying to keep her identity hidden, but she drops hints about who she is all the time. The main reason she revals her name is so that she simply doesn't have t bother hiding it
* ClingyJealousGirl: Shortly after rescuing either Rin or Rani, Caster begins practicing an apparently GroinAttack-based martial art ("Polygamist Castration Fist") while angrily shouting about how "other deities may allow harems, but never will I!" Perhaps fortunately, the protagonist is too innocent to pick up on the obvious implications, and manages to defuse the situation with a few sincere compliments about sticking to the fighting style that suits her best.
* CuteAndPsycho: Gives this vibe off at times, especially when she thinks she's being criticized.
* DeadpanSnarker: She can give off some good barbs depending on who's the subject of discussion.
--> Caster(in refence to Shinji): Smells like cheap cologn and desperation.
* DumpStat:
** Like all the Servants, she has essentially no use for luck or Agility and only needs strength for her Spirit Break ability. Even Defence gets little focus, which has some pretty [[GlassCannon obvious consequences]], though.
** She has an amazing growth rate in Magic, good growth rates in Luck and Agility, and godawful ones in Strength and Defence. After her Magic is maxed, it's generally a good idea to throw points into Defence to help her survive and lessen her damage from ''physical'' attacks, as well as to take advantage of the damage boost a higher Defence stat grants.
* {{Expy}}: Of Kohaku from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', more specifically, her Magical Amber persona.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: A conversation while walking around the Arena on the first week has her saying that she feels nostalgic. [[spoiler:The last time she was there was as [[BigBad Twice]]'s Servant.]]
* GagBoobs: They're so huge in ''CCC'' that her costume looks like it's hanging on for dear life just holding them in.
%%* GenkiGirl
* GlassCannon: She can deal huge amounts of damage with her skills, but can't take much. You can make it outright impossible to advance past Karna in CCC if you don´t get enough Endurance, as he will one-shot you with [[FantasticNuke Vasavi Shakti]]. Her Mantra: Aphotic Cave skill helps, as it cuts damage from skills by 90% and restores MP. She also takes almost no damage from Magic skills, assuming her own Magic stat is high; it's mostly physical skills that will result in an instant game over if you don't see them coming.
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her Origin outfit [[spoiler:identical to Amaterasu]] is this. Her other name taken from her more bestial form is Kojinki-Hakumen (Golden Fur, White Face).
* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Her Servant Ending in ''CCC'' in the nutshell. In her attempt to save her Master from Moon Cell's deletion, she called up her full-powered nine tails form. Each tail gained sentience and became Alter Egos Tamamo 9, each wanting some of their Goshujin-sama. Caster, [[ClingyJealousGirl as expected]], cast the other eight to the Far Side, which they succeed in escaping, and they're now rampaging around the world looking for the traitorous original and the protagonist.]]
* GratuitousEnglish: This is taken to the point where Aksys actually translates one of her English lines ''into Japanese.''
* GroinAttack: Her ultimate attack skills in Fate/Extra CCC, deal critical damage against male enemy.
* Hypocrite: Considering her hatred of Harems and Polygamy she's certinally enthusiastic when it comes time for her to have sex with Rin to establish a mana link between them
* HypocriticalHumor: In Fox Tail she beats up Gawain and Shinji for attempting to peek on the girls hotsprings..... while she's in the middle of doing the same thing to the guys.
* IAmWho: During her life as a mortal, she was unaware of her identity as a fox spirit until one day she woke up with fox ears.
* IHatePastMe: Caster is deeply ashamed of her past as a villainous monster, and goes out of her way to try to avoid relapsing into that state -- dismissing her original self as a sadistic {{yandere}}. [[spoiler:One of the bonus bosses of CCC is Caster when she was Twice's Servant. If you also have Caster as your Servant, it quickly shows that the two don't get along even though they're technically the same person. In her last Secret Garden, Caster's original self also expresses contemptuous disgust towards her Servant incarnation.]]
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSzeWcja3kQ Hana arashi no Ki]]
%%* ImpossiblyLowNeckline
* ImprobableWeaponUser: She wields a MagicMirror in melee.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:This is the reason Tamamo left her Celestial dwelling and ventured out into the world. She saw how happy serving her made the people and wanted to experience the same thing.]]
* {{Keigo}}: Caster can say some [[DoubleEntendre pretty raunchy things]] from time to time, but she always says it ''politely''.
* {{Kitsune}}: She has the ears and tail of a fox, and her true identity is that of [[spoiler:[[http://edb.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/exhibit-e/otogi/tamamo/tamamo.html Tamamo-no-Mae]], the evil nine-tailed fox spirit who won the favour of Emperor Toba as a beautiful and knowledgeable courtesan in 12th century Japan. However, she's also an incarnation of the solar goddess Amaterasu, which makes her far more powerful than a normal kitsune.]]
* KungFuWizard: Aside from some jokes about her infamous "Polygamist Castration Fist," averted in the original game, though CCC adds it in as an actual attack. In ''Fox Tail'', she is able to take Suzuka Gozen on in a fist fight.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Caster, Extra Life With Anyone She Wants", which has samples from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'''s gallery menu BGM (Oh, and said gallery menu is named [[IncrediblyLamePun Extras]]).
* LittleBitBeastly: She has fox ears and a fox tail. [[spoiler:Her full-powered form is a giantess with nine fiery fox-tails.]]
* LittleMissAlmighty: [[spoiler:As a facet of Amaterasu, the Japanese Sun goddess, it fits.]]
* MagicMirror: Her melee weapon of choice.
* MagikarpPower: Starts out as the weakest Servant, but can deal astounding amounts of damage late in the game, completely lock down almost any move the opponent makes or counter anything your opponent does. However, the way she does this makes her incredibly vulnerable to opponents such as Rani's Berserker, who has skills that check against Tamamo's defense stat instead of magic and are preceded by 'Wait' moves, which keeps Caster from preventing them with stun. She also has the lowest HP of all playable Servants, to the point where she won't break 1000 HP until level 20, which means her margin for error against enemy programs (let alone bosses) is very limited.
* MarryThemAll: In the Fox Tail manga, she says she invented [[HGamePOVCharacter Polygamist]] [[GroinAttack Castration]] [[FantasticFightingStyle Fist]] to "[[DefiedTrope destroy the harem ending]]."
* MediumAwareness: Unfortunately, she knows that she is in a game only rated "T".
* MesACrowd: [[spoiler:Uses the Moon Cell to summon her other 8 Tails as servants so they can save their master in her CCC Servant ending.]]
* MsFanservice: Her [[http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/File:CasterCCC.png Fate/Extra CCC]] outfit leaves little doubt to this claim.
* MythologyGag: Whether she is talking about her E-mail buddy [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyohime Kiyohime]] or asking for Aburaage (which is the Bakitsune equivalent of catnip), Caster is full of them.
* NeutralEvil: InUniverse alignment. Unlike the more questionable alignments of the other two playable Servants, this one is pretty obvious so long as you pay attention to the hints of obsession and craziness.
* NotQuiteTheRightThing: In her backstory, she became intrigued with humans since she isn't quite one herself and decided to try living among them and serving them. However, [[spoiler:humans don't want that from the gods. Despite being harmless, she was hunted down when her identity was uncovered and despite asking to simply be allowed to leave in peace armies kept pursuing her, which she destroyed before finally falling in battle. Not a very good track record there, Amaterasu.]]
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:Twice's Caster acts much more serious than your Caster even though they have the same identity...until you defeat them, in which after Twice declares they must leave and does so himself, his Caster drops completely down the maturity scale.]]
* PantyShot: Thanks to the [[MaleGaze camera angles]]. [[spoiler:They're black.]]
* PaperTalisman: Her ''Curse:'' Skills have her throw one at her enemy.
* PowerLimiter:
** Being summoned as a Legendary Soul actually ''decreases'' her power, since [[spoiler:as a facet of Amaterasu, her full power would be on par with, ''[[UpToEleven if not greater than]]'' the Big Three of the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}.]] Being summoned as the Servant of a pure-hearted Master means she doesn't have access to her darker powers either. The in-game text states that if she were not a Servant, her Noble Phantasm would actually allow her to ''bring the dead back to life.''
** She seems even weaker than regular Servants, which she {{Handwave}}s as a result of being summoned in the Caster class, universally considered the weakest of the seven Servant classes. [[spoiler:The truth is that Caster is deliberately holding back her own power because the last time she used her seduction magic, she got betrayed and slaughtered by 80,000 soldiers]].
* PowerPerversionPotential: If playing as female Hakuno she comments that if she begins to get to unconfortable with being with a female then she's use her magic to "fix' that. It's also impried that her shape shifting skills can also be used to make her breast's bigger but she isn't willing to do it.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: As a Servant, she changes her temperament to suit her current Master. Her actual personality is more in line with a nagging, stingy housewife.
* RedOniBlueOni: Caster plays this role with Saber in the Omake that show up in the Type-Moon Ace magazine.
* RetiredMonster: As revealed in Tamamo's third Secret Garden, [[spoiler:with all nine tails her original self was an arrogant, bloodthirsty, and sadistic monster. As a Servant, Tamamo cut off all but one of her tails and seeks to redeem herself by becoming a good wife, though she occasionally lapses into {{yandere}} moments; and if she regains all her tails or is summoned by an evil master -- like Twice -- she will revert to her evil self.]]
* RoseHairedSweetie: The protagonists even lampshade this when they realize they could have guessed her personality from her hair.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Her relationship with her Master is this. When the protagonist mostly has existential crisis over the slaughter that is Holy Grail War, she keeps up the cheerful front to keep their spirits up, encouraging them with not-so-subtle flirting. [[spoiler:From the bonus boss fight against her when she's still Twice's Servant, though she's more solemn than her present self, Twice thinks that she's sacrificing her own happiness and original personality too much to support his gloomy self.]]
* SayItWithHearts: Notably, she's the only one to do this in the whole game.
%%* SexyBacklessOutfit
* {{Sizeshifter}}: [[spoiler:Full-powered Caster is ''much'' larger than mortals.]]
* {{Stripperiffic}} Her default outfit dropes so low that it's a mirical that it doesn't fall off of her chest and constantly gives off panty shots.
%%* SupernaturalGoldEyes
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: It is said that if she is summoned by someone with an evil heart, she will [[spoiler:kill one hundred heroes and become one of the three great disasters of Japan. Reacquiring her missing tails will also restore her full power and cause her to relapse into her evil ways.]]
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:Briefly appears silhouetted in the anime during Twice's flashbacks]].
* TheTease: She's foxy in one way or another. After all, teasing one's husband is a wife's duty, too.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She stops herself from doing it earlier on, but after you learn her true name, she does this all the time in the private room.
* {{Tsundere}}: During some of her Servant Matrix events, especially when it involves other girls like Rin.
* UnreliableNarrator: Caster's backstory claims that [[spoiler:she was simply intrigued with humans and simply wanted to harmlessly live among them and serve them, being framed for trying to assassinate Emperor Toba and unjustly executed for crimes she didn't commit... but Caster's CuteAndPsycho tendencies and occasional slips of the tongue, Twice's evil Caster, and Konjiki Hakumen -- Tamamo's malevolent original self -- indicate there's more truth to the story of the evil Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that tried to plunge Japan into chaos than Caster wants to let on.]]
* UselessUsefulSpell: Zig-zagged throughout the game:
** Played straight when you first acquire her various ''Curse'' skills, they seem like the perfect way to speed up dungeon crawling... except that Caster will quickly run out of MP. Unless you're playing on Easy mode (which gives you access to fountains that restore both a Master and Servant's HP and MP), you'll quickly run out of MP and facing the problem of MagicIsRareHealthIsCheap. Even if you're on a New Game Plus and have access to the Formal Wear that allows you to restore a Servant's MP, the only MP-restoring items available until the sixth day of the third week restore a Master's MP by a whopping ''two'' and ''three'' MP per item. It costs 60 MP to restore a "moderate" amount of your Servsnt's MP via Code Cast... enjoy those 20 Yakisoba Breads.
** ''Charm: Spirit Theft'' allows Caster to steal MP whenever using the ''Break'' command, but it also costs 20 MP per use, so she needs to absorb ''at least'' 20 MP for the skill to be profitable... and then not die in the process. Go ahead, spam ''Break'' so Caster can fill up her MP. With her [[LampshadeHanging notably poor defence and HP]], what's the worst that could happen? It's not a bad option, but maximizing the MP gain from the skill typically means dragging out a fight as long as possible versus an enemy program, which makes the already tedious LevelGrinding even more so, particularly since Caster's melee damage is low and her ''Curse'' skills are the best way for her to deal with mooks.
** Subverted once you've earned enough skill points to unlock ''Breath of the Soul'', a passive skill that automatically restores 10% of Caster's maximum MP after a battle. Coincidentally, by the time you have the points to unlock the skill, Caster will have at least 300 MP, meaning her ''Curse'' skills are now free: at 30 MP each, she can use one against enemy programs while dungeon crawling and will have the MP restored after the battle. Hallelujah! (And since her MP growth is so high, as Caster continues to level up, she can easily restore 40+ MP via her passive.)
** Arguably played completely straight with her final skill, however, which costs 80 MP, deal's heavy damage , and has a chance to inflict Poison for ''six turns''. Unfortunately, it can only be used when Caster's HP is at 30 percent or lower (which is the point at which her HP bar begins flashing red) and it's [[SquishyWizard very difficult to lower Caster's HP to that point without bypassing the red zone for a Game Over]]. Since most players typically use an item or Code Cast to Heal during turns when it's likely their Servant will take heavy damage, this makes achieving the requisite low health even more of a gamble: you not only need Caster's HP to be lowered, but you also have to be certain it won't actually hit zero at the end of the turn, deliberately forgoing healing just so you have the option of using Land of Eternal Bane ... or you could follow the standard plan of stun-locking bosses and enemies, which is where Caster excels. It doesn't help that a translation error states that the skill requires Caster's HP to be ''above'' 30%, leading many players to cast the skill at full health and then helplessly watch as Caster did nothing, the word "FAILED" appeared, and the boss attacked.
* VocalDissonance: The perky GenkiGirl falsetto quickly drops to much crasser husky depths whenever she gets peeved.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:Tamamo actually fought in a previous Holy Grail War, her master then was ''[[BigBad Twice H. Pieceman]]''.]]
* WillfullyWeak: Refuses to make use of her witchcraft or shapeshifting abilities, which are ranked EX and A respectively. You'd think she would at least agree to shapeshift enough to hide the ears and tail.
* WorthyOpponent: She has a tendency to trash talk all your opponents, but she has to admit that Dan Blackmore is a pretty good guy. Normally, she'd also find Arcueid a worthy opponent since they're so similar, but she's stuck in the role of Berserker.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Downplayed. Caster carries herself in this manner and her desire to be a good wife is as [[HiddenDepths genuine]] as it gets. She can also [[BeneathTheMask be pretty scary at times]] showing she is not an ExtremeDoormat but instead possessing a will of her own. However she has a pretty [[DoubleEntendre dirty mouth]] and yet it's always so ''politely'' dirty.

[[quoteright:187:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_rider_extra_3689.png]]

A [[TheHedonist hedonistic]] woman who lives entirely for the moment and finds value only in ephemeral aspects of life, making her incompatible with Heroic Spirits like Caster and [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gilgamesh]] (who stockpiles the treasures he gains). As a {{pirate}}, she favours using pistols in combat.

%%* AbsoluteCleavage
* AffablyEvil: Nicer than her Master is. [[JerkAss Not that that's a hard thing to do.]]

* BerserkButton: ''Fate/EXTRA'' material mentions that she can get truly angry if you were to call [[spoiler:Golden Hind by its original name, "Pelican".]]
%%* BoobsOfSteel
* BottomlessMagazines: Exaggerated, since her weapons are ''single-shot flintlock pistols'' and she's never shown reloading them after firing. [[spoiler:In the Last Encore anime, she's defeated when they click on empty at the same time, leaving her open to attack]].

* CoolBigSis: She acts like this at times to her Master.
* CoolBoat: [[spoiler:The Golden Hind.]]
* EvilIsHammy: Thinks that villains should act as flamboyantly as possible. Since she considers herself one...
* FaceDeathWithDignity: She calmly accepts her defeat in both the first game (unlike her Master) and in the Last Encore anime.

* HistoricalGenderFlip:
** [[spoiler:Although the game makes it clear that this is not an example of a female being recorded into history as male--like Red Saber--but simply how she has been incarnated into the Holy Grail War]].
** [[spoiler:There's also a possible subversion of this, since the Japanese version of the game hints that she's not actually Francis Drake, but Queen Elizabeth in disguise. However, this seems to be a case of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness since this concept has never been brought up again and ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' gives a different reason for why she was recorded as male.]]

* MythologyGag: [[spoiler:Shinji's Servant being a Rider class, and the first to be defeated.]]
* NotSoDifferent: Both she and the playable Saber wish to enjoy life and all its pleasures to the fullest, though their methods vary. Each also threatens each other with ropes (trussing up and hanging, respectively).
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Well, her role as a Servant and her apparent ability to get along well with her Master might play a role, but she does demand a lot of money to fight and in an early quest, [[spoiler:she gets a power boost unless you can prevent her from reaching several treasures]].

!!!Master: Dan Blackmore | Voiced by: Creator/KosukeToriumi (Japanese), Creator/VicMignogna (English), Alan Prieto (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_archer_extra_4802.png]]

A chivalrous outlaw thief who relies on guerrilla tactics such as [[CombatPragmatist preemptive strikes, traps and poison]]. Though he bitterly complains that he is unable to win in a fair fight, it is hinted that his true desire is to leave the shadows of the forest and be acknowledged and thanked as a hero.

----
* AdaptationalBadass: Due to his master becoming [[AdaptationalVillainy more villainous]] in the anime, Archer is much more fearsome and dangerous compared to the game. This is of course due to not being forced to have a PowerLimiter placed on him by his Master, allowing him to fight at full power.
* ArcherArchetype: He is an Archer class Servant, and he's pretty much the first one seen to rely on his bow. He's also pretty independent, as shown by [[spoiler:his ambush of the protagonist on campus]], which was not ordered by his Master.
* CombatPragmatist: Traps, ambushes, poisons -- if it helps him win, he'll do it. [[spoiler:Though he's always wanted to fight fairly at least once in his life.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: It seems to be a requirement of the Archer class.
* {{Expy}}: His backstory, [[spoiler:specifically selflessly protecting everyone around him and ultimately being betrayed by them]] is very similar to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight another Archer's]] and his role as a LegacyCharacter who has his own identity forgotten is very similar to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Assassin's]].
%%* FaceDeathWithDignity
* HeroWithBadPublicity: In his backstory.
* InvisibilityCloak: One of his Noble Phantasms, ''The Faceless King: No Face May King''. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation It has a different effect when used as a skill in-game]].
* JustLikeRobinHood: [[spoiler:As expected, as he is the man himself.]] Archer gave BB’s SG after barely surviving Meltryllis’s encounter so the protagonist will have an advantage against the overly powerful BB.
* LegacyCharacter: One of many who used the identity of "Myth/RobinHood".
* MutuallyExclusivePowerUps: In the Last Encore anime, it's stated that he can't use ''[[InvisibilityCloak The Faceless King: No Face May King]]'' and ''[[PopGoesTheHuman Yew Bow: Bow of Prayer]]'' at the same time.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:During his life he fought for the people of his village, whom rewarded him with betrayal after betrayal. Despite all this, he still fought for them, as it was the right thing to do.]] It sucks being an Archer in the {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: He’s usually very laid-back, so when he goes as far as being verbally and physically abusive to Passionlip, it tips everyone off to just what’s wrong with the Alter Ego as previously Alice and Caster also bullied her too cruelly for their standards.
* PeekABangs: His hair covers one eye but not the other, symbolic of his guerrilla combat style.
* PoisonedWeapons: His arrows are coated with yew tree toxin.
* PopGoesTheHuman: One of his Noble Phantasms, ''Yew Bow: Bow of Prayer'', causes impurities in his target's body (such as poison from his arrows) to violently detonate with explosive force. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation In the game]], it only increases damage inflicted by a preexisting poison effect and [[UselessUsefulSpell fails completely if your Servant isn't poisoned when he uses it]].
* PowerLimiter: [[spoiler:Due to his under-handed tactics, his stats got decreased [[NoFairCheating due to his breaking of the rules]]. Due to his Master's HonorBeforeReason and the rules of this Grail War, he is forced into a one-vs-one duel rather than his preferred [[CombatPragmatist fighting style]]. As a result, he never stood a chance and we never got to see Archer's full power. However, in the anime, due to the rules of the war having been completely changed and Dan becoming more pragmatic and more of a villain, he uses his abilities in full]].

[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1extracasternurseryrhyme_2836.png]]

An irregular Servant who bears an appearance identical to her Master's. This is because she is not a specific individual with their own identity, but a manifestation of the love of children towards the nursery rhyme genre, effectively making them a "hero of children". The Servant itself is a kind of pseudo-Reality Marble that reflects the true feelings of the one who summons it, creating a Servant in the image that their Master imagines.

----
* AliceAllusion: For the same reasons as her Master.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: [[spoiler:Her true identity is Nursery Rhyme, a personification of children's stories such as ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''.]]
%%* CreepyChild
* CreepyTwins: Pulls off the act with her Master.
%%* DarkMagicalGirl
* DegradedBoss: In ''CCC'', she is faced as a random encounter in [[spoiler:Meltryllis's dungeon]] later on in the game.
* DemotedToExtra: In ''Last Encore'', she only appears once in the series due to the fact that [[spoiler:Alice's transformation stripped her of her human form, leaving her as a nondescript book trying to help Alice with her Noble Phantasms.]]
* DissonantSerenity: She talks about IronicNurseryTune with the same cheerfulness as when she’s playing with her Master, but it’s nothing like when [[spoiler:Meltryllis tore her apart and sent her Master comatose]]; she uses non-threatening phrases like “Welcome,” or “Let’s play,” while engaging in battle, laughs when damaged by skills, and mutters “Sweet dreams" when defeated. As there’s a lot of her in that floor, the best way to describe her predicament is a BrokenRecord.
* ElegantGothicLolita: She wears black and pink in contrast to her Master.
* EmpathicShapeshifter: [[spoiler:Caster changes form depending on the Master who summoned her.]]
* LossOfIdentity: [[spoiler:Caster's Reality Marble, the Nameless Forest, causes people to forget their names, their sense of self and then, [[RetGone that they ever existed]]]].
* MesACrowd: In ''CCC'', [[spoiler:until you do Alice’s last will]], her countless [[spoiler:ghost]] copies replace every enemy program on the floor.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Appropriately enough for a Caster-class servant.
* NurseryRhyme: All her Matrix entries except two are done in nursery rhyme. She also utters a few of her own creation.
* OffWithHisHead: She talks about doing this four times (including optional scenes), all in relation to you and[=/=]or your Servant. Two of those times, she quotes the trope-naming line.
* OneSteveLimit: Caster is based on ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', which gives us such gems as ''"That's Alice, and I'm Alice."'' and ''"I am Alice, the Servant of Alice."'' RainbowSpeak is an early indicator that the two are different.
* TimeLimitBoss:
** Not a clock-based time limit, but if the battle drags on, Caster will use her Noble Phantasm, which not only damages you but fully restores her HP, essentially resetting the battle. Oh, and the effect [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard activates between turns]], so there's no way to stop it.
*** In the anime, [[spoiler:this renders Alice undefeatable unless she decides not to activate it.]]
** This particular facet makes her an extreme case of PuzzleBoss: looking into the Phantasm's description [[spoiler:lets you know that she simply repeats the exact same 8-turn move sequence over and over with no deviation between Noble Phantasm activations]].
* WeakButSkilled: Every single one of her stats is [[RankInflation Rank E]]. She balances this out with a plethora of high ranked skills [[spoiler:and a Reality Marble]].

A deranged individual who shares his Master's twisted notions of love. Though he had been noble and dedicated to the cause of protecting his nation in life, he became infamous for his excessively brutal methods, which eventually led to his people turning against him. Dying in despair, he questioned why his sincere efforts had been rewarded by betrayal, and lost his sanity. He's ''not'' a vampire.
----
* AdaptedOut: Never appears in the anime version.
%%* AxCrazy
* BerserkButton: The word "monster" if directed at his Master by someone else.
%%* BladeOnAStick
* BlessedWithSuck: See the second bullet point on KnightTemplar.
* BloodIsTheNewBlack: The left side of his armor is permanently covered with blood.
* TheButcher: He was known as the [[spoiler:Kazikli Voyvoda/Impaler Prince]] in life.
* DepravedBisexual: Possibly; see FoeYay in YMMV.
* FangsAreEvil: His canines are visibly long and sharp, like [[spoiler:a vampire's fangs]].
* FieldOfBlades: A field of spears comes out when he uses his Noble Phantasm.
* GracefulLoser: Enough of one that it becomes [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness jarring]] since he's so hammy everywhere else.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: InUniverse, and it literally changes his appearance and abilities to match the common perception of him, represented on his Matrix as the Seraphic Monstrosity ability.
* HumansAreSpecial: His dying speech makes that certainly clear, where he finally acknowledges Ronnie's monstrous nature but, because she is ultimately human, even after death her soul can be saved and any wrongdoing can be atoned for in Purgatory. Would almost count as a moment of heartwarming if not for Ronnie's insane complaints about Lancer dying and not leaving behind a body to eat.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He loves it so much, his Ceremonial Purge skill involves doing it to himself. Strangely, it only damages your Servant. [[spoiler:His Noble Phantasm even has the title of Fortress of Impalement.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: He believes all humans are.
-->'''Lancer''': ''"Humans are the monstrous ones. A human who has never betrayed another of their wretched kind isn't human."''
* KnightTemplar:
** He [[spoiler:impaled many of his own country's nobility]] because he felt that they had destabilized [[spoiler:Wallachia.]] He also [[spoiler:impaled thousands of Turkish soldiers as psychological warfare]], all in the name of protecting [[spoiler:the Christian kingdoms from the Ottomans]].
** One of his abilities is the Divine Aegis, which is ostensibly a form of divine protection given to those who have sacrificed themselves for something they believe to be the greater good, but is actually a manifestation of faith and self-righteousness. [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity Higher ranks of this skill have detrimental effects on a person's sanity and personality.]] Lancer [[BlessedWithSuck has it at]] ''[[RankInflation A+++ Rank]]''.
%%* LargeHam
%%* NoIndoorVoice
* MightyGlacier: His Strength is ranked A, but his Agility is ranked E. An unusual case, seeing as Lancer class Servants are usually {{Fragile Speedster}}s.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler:It was established in ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' that Vlad Tepes wasn't a vampire.]]
* NotSoDifferent: He has something in common with all the playable Servants. [[spoiler:Like Saber, he was the victim of HistoricalVillainUpgrade. Like Archer, he was betrayed by those he protected because of his crazy devotion to an ideal. Like Caster, he was so strongly believed to be a monster by people that he actually became one.]]
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* ReligiousBruiser: He's very devout, both in life and during the Holy Grail War.
* TragicMonster: The protagonist believes so, anyway.

!!!Master: Monji Gatou | Voiced by: Creator/RyokaYuzuki
[[quoteright:182:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_berserkerarc_extra_4455.png]]

Supposedly a blood-sucking demon who is worshipped as a god by her Master, she is in fact a True Ancestor, a demon inherently connected to the Earth. Her current state is due to her Master lacking the ability to handle or even comprehend her true form, forcing her into the Berserker class. While the Berserker class increases her raw statistics, it has sealed many of the abilities that would otherwise make her a GameBreaker.

----
* AdaptedOut: Never appears in the anime.
* AlternateSelf: She is an alternate version of Arcueid Brunestud from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}''.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: By having Berserker's passive Mad Enhancement. [[spoiler:After she is defeated and Gatou is deleted (breaking the Master/Servant link), she returns to normal and is quite friendly towards the Protagonist.]]
* ColonyDrop: Her ''Blut die Schwester'' conjures an illusion of the Crimson Moon.
* FemmeFatalons: She can extend her fingernails into blood-red claws.
* GodGuise: Her Master proclaims her to be a true god. She is more of a natural phenomenon, comparable to a tornado or earthquake.
* MismatchedEyes: She has one red iris and one purple iris.
* NoSell: Of course ''the Moon'' doesn't delete her if she loses. [[spoiler:She's a perfect copy of [[EldritchAbomination Type Moon]], after all]].
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: She is the most powerful True Ancestor in existence.
* PowerLimiter: Not only does being a Berserker reduce her overall capabilities, but her Master's incompetence reduces her abilities even further! Even her [[PowerBornOfMadness Mad Enhancement/Blind Rage]] skill has been reduced in effectiveness, giving her all the drawbacks of Rank A but only the benefits of Rank C.
* PowerBornOfMadness: She's a Berserker and trades away sanity for power, but because Gatou is both incompetent and doesn't even understand what Arcueid is she has the effects on her mind of rank A while only getting a level C powerup.
* TheSpeechless: Thanks to Mad Enhancement, she's rendered unable to speak coherently. She's silent in all scenes until the post arena dialogue.
* SkywardScream: Upon using ''Blut die Schwester'', she leans back and lets out a howl.
* UnskilledButStrong: While true of the Berserker class in general, because of her masters lack of skill and understanding, she's not as strong as she could be. All she gets is a slight increase in power compared to other Berserkers, and most of her skills are sealed as a result. Despite this, her natural power is enough that she can easily pose a threat, and the small boost in stats makes her able to kill enemies with just pure strength alone.

[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_assassin_extra_2592.png]]

A Chinese martial artist whose skill in the art of Bājí Quán was so advanced that it was said he could slay any opponent with a single blow. Though he is famed as a Lancer, his Master elected to summon a younger version for compatibility, and for his Servant's ferocity and unquestioning impulse to fight during his youth.

----
* AffablyEvil: He's much nicer than his Master, even if he is trying to kill you. Archer lampshades this at the start of the Elimination Battle.
* BareFistedMonk: He doesn't need to wield weapons or wear armor when he can use Bājí Quán.
* BloodKnight: He's very happy to face an enemy that doesn't go down in one hit.
* CardCarryingVillain: He feels that all he can do is destroy, so he embraces it.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His [[LimitBreak Noble Phantasm]], despite being referred as such in-game, is actually the highest form of his martial art, where [[FingerPokeOfDoom even the slightest touch]] is enough to kill the opponent.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He comments that, if he killed as often as [[spoiler:his Master]], he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:The first time you defeat him. He's been turned into a Berserker the second time, so he doesn't have the state of mind for this.]]
%%* FieryRedhead
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler:After he's brought back as a Berserker.]]
* GuyLiner: Red, matching his eyes and hair.
* {{Invisibility}}: [[spoiler:Due to his personal skill, instead of the Assassin class skill, ''Presence Concealment''[=/=]''Obfuscation'']]. In gameplay terms, you can't hurt him at all until you nullify it.
* MythologyGag: This isn't the first time an [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Assassin]] prefers head to head combat, as well as having a Noble Phantasm that is the product of years of training rather than an artifact or magic.
%%* NobleDemon
* OneHitKill: Despite his reputation, [[CutscenePowerToTheMax the only time he gets to do this is in cutscenes]], unless you made your Servant into a GlassCannon. During the battle with him it has an HPToOne effect instead, taking off 90% of your Servant's current HP if it hits.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Red-eyed and ''very'' deadly.
* RuleOfThree: It takes three attempts to [[spoiler:nullify his ''Concealment'' skill: the first two traps made to disable electronic devices and interfere with thaumaturgy respectively fail, but the third trap disrupts his chi and reveals him]].
* ScreamingWarrior: [[spoiler:After he's brought back as a Berserker.]]
* SquareRaceRoundClass: While his hand-to-hand combat skills fit the Assassin class container, under normal circumstances he ''shouldn't'' be able to be summoned as the container is normally restricted to the nineteen Hassan-i-Sabbah. As the least combat oriented class, Assassin also should have no business going hand-to-hand against Saber-class Servants, who are considered the ''strongest'' Servants in close combat, and ''winning.''
* TouchOfDeath: His famous quip about not knowing what it's like to hit a man twice is the biggest clue to his identity.
* WeakButSkilled: Makes up for his rather low stats (save for an A Rank AGI) with his unique [[spoiler:''Sphere Boundary''[=/=]''Concealment'' and ''Chinese Martial Arts''[=/=]''Liuhe Quan'' skills, ranked [[RankInflation A and A+++]] respectively]].

An Irish demigod hero, and {{Expy}} of Lancer from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Much like his counterpart, he's cocky, aggressive and a womanizer.

His Noble Phantasm is the spear Gae Bolg, which instantly pierces the target's heart and then [[RealityWarper reverses cause and effect]] to create a reason for it.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: In the anime. Rin mentions her Servant was taken but she still possesses Command Seals, implying that she ether did lose him, but in a way where she can retrieve him, or is lying in order to make her way up the floors. [[spoiler:It turns out she [[FusionDance fused with him to become a Demi-Servant]]]].

%%* DeadpanSnarker
%%* GoOutWithASmile
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Rin's route, he delays Rani's self-destruct long enough for the protagonist and Rin to be logged out by the SE.RA.PH, but is gravely wounded and unable to escape the explosion.]]
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[spoiler:If you save Rin, he doesn't really have much of a reaction to Rani's Servant taking off "his entire right side" with one hit.]]

** If you [[spoiler:save Rin]], he [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices]] himself and comments:
-->''"Now, I just need to work on finding ways to defend people without getting myself killed..."''
* OneHitKill: [[spoiler:Gae Bolg]]. As in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', high [[LuckStat Luck]] or Archer's 7 Rings of Heaven skill can stop it.
* PowerLimiter: Lancer's [[{{Determinator}} Battle Continuation]] skill was reduced by his current master in order to raise his endurance.

A Chinese military commander infamous for his many betrayals. His military acumen and mastery of weaponry is so great that it would [[TheAce allow him to be summoned as any class within the Holy Grail War]] with the exception of Saber and Caster.

----
* BladeOnAStick: [[spoiler:Sky Piercer]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: In his backstory, but not in the game itself, since Mad Enhancement denies him the state of mind for it.

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:During his HeroicSacrifice to save Rani and the protagonist]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Rani's route, he protects her and the Protagonist from the explosion]].
* MythologyGag: A famous Berserker-class Servant (who also qualifies for nearly every other class) that can't use his Noble Phantasm to its full potential and his combat skills because of Mad Enhancement, like another [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Berserker]] that we know.

A knight of the Round Table, known as the "Knight of the Sun" and counterpart to King Arthur. Having regretted his decisions in life, in which his personal failings led to the downfall of his king, Gawain hopes to restore his honor by serving Leonard Harway unquestioningly as "the perfect knight".
----
%%* AssKickingPose
* TheAtoner: After his actions resulted in the [[spoiler:destruction of Arthur's kingdom, the death of most of the knights and his own disgrace]] he wished for a second chance to [[ToBeLawfulOrGood perfectly serve a king without question]].
* ChivalrousPervert: See his reaction to any of Leo’s perverted hijinks and to the Alter Egos. He somehow can spouts most detailed description of women’s erotic features with such a straightforward manner, it’s like he’s telling only truth.
* CoolSword: [[spoiler:Excalibur Galatine, which has a shard of the Sun in it]]. Its name is a reference to [[spoiler:both {{Excalibur}}, which certain early French stories had him wielding, and Galatine, the sword he wields in most other stories]].
%%* FaceDeathWithDignity
* FlamingSword: When he uses his Blade of Devotion skill.
* HopelessBossFight: If you decide to fight him in CCC. Note that it technically ''is'' winnable, but only if you're either cheating or have some very broken New Game+ outfits equipped.
* HourOfPower: Between 9AM and 12 noon, and 3PM and 6PM, his power increases threefold, represented by the Numeral of the Saint ability. In gameplay terms, you can't damage him at all and must find some way of nullifying this ability or it's game over.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: The way he puts the duty placement between him and your Servant makes him seemingly belittling you. It’s only when both Leo and Julius apologize for his tactless manner he realizes it.
* ItsAllMyFault: Believes his hatred for [[spoiler:Lancelot]] caused [[spoiler:the fall of Camelot]].
%%* KnightInShiningArmor
* LethalChef: His cooking is so horrid, Leo forbids him from for touching the kitchenware ever again. It implied that the reason why [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Arthur]] is such a glutton is because she put up with his foods in their Round Table time.
* MythologyGag: His appearance is based on the original design for Saber, before she was changed to a girl. Fitting, considering that in most legends he is referred as Arthur's nephew.
%%* OvershadowedByAwesome: By its more famous counterpart, [[spoiler:{{Excalibur}}]].
* ThePowerOfTheSun: The Sun empowers him during the day.
* {{Revenge}}: Originally against [[spoiler:Lancelot]]. He eventually forgives [[spoiler:Lancelot before his death]].
* RuleOfThree: His Numeral of the Saint ability triples his strength during three-hour periods.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: Excalibur Galatine is supposed to be the equal of Excalibur, which is basically the most powerful directly damaging Noble Phantasm out there not named Ea. It should reduce you to dust, but what it actually does is just sort of hurt. Toss your Servant an Ether Crystal and they'll be good as new.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Whenever Gawian actives his Noble Phantasm, ''Excalibur Galatine: The Reborn Sword of Victory'', he always makes a habit of tossing up Galatine high into the air as it charges up and somehow managing to catch it after getting fully charged.
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Thinks of his actions in life along these lines, and unlike most examples he resolved to be ''lawful'' and obey his Master without any question whatsoever, in order to repent for his grudges getting in the way of his duty towards the king. Archer and Saber will both call him out for this in different ways - Archer thinks he is LawfulStupid and Saber thinks he is an insult to knights. Caster merely thinks he swore his loyalty to someone unworthy of being called a king in the first place.
* TrashTalk: [[http://i.imgur.com/GM5Ls.png He's kind of a dick to his enemies]]. He's not even good at it. However, according to materials released....

A celestial being summoned from the records of the Moon Cell by Twice H. Pieceman to act as the strongest Servant and free humanity from suffering. His exact identity is unclear during the game itself, but supplementary materials reveal him to be the Buddha. The Protagonist speculates that Savior does not agree with Pieceman's philosophy of endless war, but agreed to aid him as a way of showing mercy and compassion to Twice's tortured soul. Savior acts as the final boss of the game.

----
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Even though he doesn't support Twice's ideals, he's just being compassionate towards the soul of the original Twice]].
* FinalBoss: Of the first game.
* FinalBossPreview: Downplayed in the Last Encore anime. The ActionPrologue shows [[FirstEpisodeTwist Savior defeating Female Hakuno and the playable Saber]], but [[spoiler:when Male Hakuno and Saber arrive at the Moon Cell core, Savior has long abandoned the place, and only his TimeLimitBoss Noble Phantasm remains with Twice's Dead Face to oppose the protagonists]].
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When he [[EyesAlwaysShut opens his eyes]] to glare at his opponents, and looks rather menacing that way.
* InvincibleVillain: In Extra Materials, the final showdown is described as Hakuno simply talking Twice down, implying any notion of actually defeating Savior to be ridiculous. Appropriately, his profile shows us exactly why: He's got martial arts at a higher level than [[WeakButSkilled Li Shuwen]], reduces all damage taken by an amount equivalent to his max health, reduces his enemies' stats dramatically by just being in their presence, and his Noble Phantasms are ludicrously powerful.
* LastOfHisKind: ''And'' also the first. A Character Materials entry released for ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' relevant to [[spoiler:Solomon]] mentions that he is the only human to ever achieve enlightenment.
* LightIsGood: Everything that he does, he does out of compassion.
* MartialPacifist: He is always meditating, even in battle, and his attacks are all projectiles he waves gently with his hands.
* MythologyGag: In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the original version of Saber]] was called Saver.
* NiceGuy: [[spoiler:Given how he's ''the Buddha'', did you expect anything else]]?
* OneHitKill: His Noble Phantasm, [[spoiler:''Amita Amitabha: Transmigration into One'']].
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:As a Boddhisattva, he is a god of cosmic proportions, capable of governing the Solar System easily, and is one of the Vajra holders in heaven]].
* PowerLimiter: Since he's the Buddha, he's far and away stronger than any other Servant in the game by a country mile, but it's implied that he doesn't have access to much of his power due to being in a Servant container, plus he's not really trying to begin with.
* PunchClockVillain: [[spoiler:He's only working with Twice out of pity]].
%%* SupernaturalGoldEyes: When he is serious.
* TimeLimitBoss: During the fight, he will charge his Transmigration into One attack. Every two turns, one light will shine on his Mandala; if he lights all seven mirrors, he delivers a OneHitKill, instant Game Over.
* WillfullyWeak: He has access to some rather broken skills that make him more or less untouchable, but they don't appear to be in effect during the boss fight, meaning his "defeat" was not due to his opponent's strength, but rather because the Protagonist is able to tell Twice off.

!!NPC
The [=NPCs=] are virtual constructs created by the Moon Cell to help facilitate the Holy Grail War. Their appearance and personalities are based upon the data of real people, living and dead, but they are bound to the service of the Moon Cell and possess no free will of their own.

[[folder:Father Kotomine]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/JojiNakata (Drama CD and ''Fate/EXTRA CCC'') (Japanese), Armen Taylor (Last Encore) (English, Anime), Daniel del Roble (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:244:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_kotomineextra_6030.png]]

A man dressed in the robes of a priest. He acts as the overseer of the Holy Grail War, providing information to the Masters, enforcing the rules and occasionally providing challenges. In sharp contrast with his priestly attire, he has a very abrasive personality and almost seems to enjoy the death and destruction caused by the Holy Grail War. It is said that he is based on the data of a previous Master who competed in the Holy Grail War.

----
* AscendedExtra: He plays a slightly more important role in ''CCC''. It's not so much of being more important as being talkative and seeable everyday and providing insight on what is going on. [[spoiler:He even gains a Servant, Lancer, and becomes an optional boss]].
* {{Expy}}: Of Kirei Kotomine in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. He's snide, a former Master turned overseer of the Holy Grail War and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking loves mapo tofu]].
%%* MrExposition
* NoHeroDiscount: Even though he opposes [=BB=] for rebelling against Moon Cell and putting him behind the clerk desk, he still charges for his wares because of pure sadism. Some things never change...
* SinisterMinister: The protagonist notes that his "snide demeanor" contrasts his appearance as a priest.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Mapo tofu, like in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.

The protagonist's homeroom teacher, an {{Expy}} of her counterpart in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. She often makes requests of the Protagonist and rewards them with decorations for their personal room.

----
* BerserkButton: Don't call her "Tiger".
* CuteClumsyGirl: She trips and falls ''every'' time she enters the classroom.
* {{Expy}}: Of Taiga Fujimura from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
* InSeriesNickname: Just like in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', it's "Tiger". [[BerserkButton Don't say it around her, though]].
* MythologyGag: Her entrance into the classroom is taken straight from the Fate anime and visual novel.
* QuestGiver: Gives out {{side quest}}s and in exchange gives you decorations for your room. [[spoiler:Completing all of them in a NewGamePlus lets you fight the BonusBoss.]]
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Oh no, she didn't need that [[SideQuest tangerine]] for a magic sigil, not at all.

[[folder:Sakura Matou]]
!!!Voiced by: Creator/NorikoShitaya (Japanese), Creator/CristinaVee (English, Anime), Dulce Chino (Latin American Spanish, Anime)
[[quoteright:163:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_sakura_extra_6231.png]]

An AI created by the Moon Cell who works in the Nurse's Office. She provides medical care and healing supplies to Masters, and her homemade lunches are some of the most valuable and effective healing items in the game. Unlike her ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' counterpart, Sakura has long hair reaching down to her knees and is a lot more assertive. Despite sharing the same surname as Shinji, they are not related; though she plays the role of his little sister in the LotusEaterMachine prologue.

''CCC'' greatly expands her role, making her one of the central characters in the plot.

----
* AlmightyJanitor: ''CCC'' reveals that she [[spoiler:eventually takes ''charge of the entire Moon Cell''. However, she only has a certain amount of control and the one in charge is still the Moon Cell.]]
* ArtificialIntelligence: Designed as one by the Moon Cell in order to have her properly take care of patients. It leads her to falling in love with the Protagonist and eventually to the events of ''CCC''.
* AscendedExtra: In ''CCC'', she has a much larger role.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:The entire plot of CCC happens because she falls in love with the protagonist because s/he's the only one who visit her in the infirmary not only because to get her weekly item in ''Extra''. When she grows feverish in the shoes locker as the Moon Cell tries to delete that "alien" emotion and no one helps her, the protagonist is the only one who who says "Are you okay?" and that one act anchors her grip on her own consciousness, and drives her to save the protagonist from their inevitable fate of deletion at the end of ''Extra''.]]
* BecomeARealBoy: [[spoiler:In the CCC Route Ending. Where she also gains a human body by using the Moon Cell.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She seems a bit eager to punish the offender who messed with the bulletin board in the 6th week.
* ButtMonkey: In the ''Teach Me Blossom-sensei'' omake series where not only is her status as a side character in the original game mercilessly lampshaded to heck here, but even after it was revealed in the final omake that [[spoiler:she upgraded herself to a "boss character", orchestrated Archer's amnesia from the start, and even went as far as to kidnap both main characters in an attempt to usurp their position as protagonist, the three playable Servants still ended up [[CurbStompBattle kicking her ass anyway with little effort]].]] It's so bad that even Saber and Archer couldn't help but feel only pity for her (and even then, along with Caster, would always end up ignoring her anyway for the most part), and Sakura goes so far to admit that she's practically given up trying to surpass Rin in terms of popularity. Girl just can't catch a break.
* CovertPervert: [[spoiler:After the Magic Circuit Repair scene]].
* DemotedToExtra: In ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', she was one of the main heroines, now, she's just a NPC.
* RapunzelHair: [[UpToEleven Goes down to her]] ''[[UpToEleven ankles]]!'' Probably a nod to Rider from ''stay night''.
%%* SchoolNurse
* SupremeChef: Her food's so good, they're some of the best healing items in the game, and one of her homemade lunches is considered a fair trade for a very valuable ruby.

She is responsible for increasing the strength of the protagonist's Servant through the "Alteration of the Soul" process. The only escape from SE.RA.PH, as she learns, is for a Master to obtain the Holy Grail.

[[folder:Touko Aozaki]]
[[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_touko_extra_8420.png]]

The older sister of Aoko Aozaki, who tends to speak carelessly. Despite warnings to the contrary, she continues to tamper with SE.RA.PH to find ways of escaping, though she concludes that the most efficient way to leave is for a Master to obtain the Holy Grail. She's apparently looking for a friend of a friend inside the Moon Cell. Her physical appearance is a throwback to Type-Moon's original design for Tōko in ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''.
----
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Her dialogue implies that she's in one of her doll bodies, and if there is no other way out, she can just terminate her current body and reawaken in a body outside the SE.RA.PH.]]

[[NewGamePlus If certain conditions are met]], Shiki Ryougi appears as a non-Servant participant who has killed 99 participants in the Holy Grail War and seeks to kill one more to return to her world. Her Noble Phantasm is Boundary of the Void.
----
* AlternateUniverse: She's from one, namely the ''Kara no Kyoukai'' timeline.
* BloodKnight: If you manage to beat her, she says she'll be happy to fight someone as strong as you again.
* BonusBoss: Only fought in a NewGamePlus playthrough, and she is entirely optional ''for a good reason''.
* InstantWinCondition: If she Seals all your actions, she'll OneHitKill you.
* KnifeNut: Her main weapon is a ''Nata'' knife.
* LuckBasedMission: Her fight has a strong luck component to it, which isn't helped by the sheer length of it. In particular, she has two skills that basically cause a Caster to lose instantly by either dealing well over your max HP in a single hit with Twin Towers or sealing all your skills for the rest of the match with Suspended Esoterica. Because there is no guaranteed indication of when she will use either, if you're unlucky you can easily lose at any time. Furthermore, Caster's stunning attacks do not work consistently on Ryougi, forcing the player to use a different and more SP intensive playstyle to avoid poor luck.
* MagicalEye: The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, of course.
* MythologyGag: Boundary of the Void is a viable English translation of ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''.
* NothingPersonal: She says this word for word if you decide to fight her. She only wants to return home and has to kill 100 Servants to do it. She leaves the Masters alone, though they're unlikely to last long.
* OutOfCharacter: Ryougi Shiki is not okay with killing at all despite her constant desire to do it. However, she has killed close to two hundred people considering the death of the Servant kills the Master as well. She would despise a person who committed this kind of slaughter.
* TookALevelInBadass: From just being able to fight Servants defensively at her strongest to being able to kill almost a hundred of them.
* StandardStatusEffects: Unlike every other opponent in the game, her Seals are permanent and cannot be healed, though Archer's 7 Rings of Heaven can nullify the attacks. [[FridgeBrilliance She's probably killing your ability to use them.]]

[[folder:Prologue Master Candidate]]

A nameless student you control in the Prologue. A friend of Shinji and is known as the Ace of the Newspaper Club. However, he begins to lose his memories and even his identity. He stumbles upon the Arena on the Last Day of the prelims, but he failed to qualify and died.
----
* DecoyProtagonist: The prologue is told from his perspective, and you control him throughout it... only to have him die at the end and control switch over to the real main character.
* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound: He's part of the Journalism Club, and spends his time researching for articles.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Other Participating Masters]]
Various other Masters who qualified for the Holy Grail War and are going through their own trials at the same time.
----
* AndYouThoughtItWasAGame: Many of them are hit hard by this after the first round ends and they all get to witness (or experience) the effects of losing firsthand.
* BattleCouple: One girl entered along with her boyfriend in hopes of becoming this. Even after learning that the rules prevented this, they found ways to support each other - well, the guy did anyway - [[spoiler:until they're pitted against each other]].
* BreakTheCutie: The female member of the BattleCouple does not cope well with [[spoiler:being forced to kill her boyfriend.]]
* ContemplateOurNavels: One girl spends a great deal of time by the fountain, reflecting upon recent events. She acknowledges this and adds that the peaceful surroundings of the garden lead to her introspection.
* DespairEventHorizon: As the game continues, some wind up crossing this.
-->''"...I can kill anyone now."''
* FlowerMotifs: The Master in the garden keeps pointing out various flowers and their meaning in ''hanakotoba'', the language of flowers. [[{{Foreshadowing}} These invariably have some connection to current events]].
* FriendlyEnemy: Some of them acknowledge they could potentially end up fighting you at some point, yet remain friendly. One particular classmate keeps wishing you luck and encouraging you to do your best.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Others, however, are not so open. One fellow standing near the Library bluntly shuts down your attempts to talk to him, as you and everyone else are potential enemies.
* {{Jerkass}}: Quite a few tend to be rather rude to the protagonist, like the aforementioned fellow near the Library.
* MadLove: The girl on the first floor absolutely ''adores'' her Servant, and over the course of the War, she progresses from squealing about his cool looks and special moves to giggling creepily and saying that anyone who gets in their way will be torn into pieces.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Affects several other Masters after the first Elimination Match.
* NewsTravelsFast: Everybody seems to have already heard what's recently happened to you by the time you talk to them. {{Justified|Trope}} in that intel on other Masters is ''very'' important in the Holy Grail War, and typically the only chance you get to talk to everyone is in the Evening, giving a fair amount of time for yesterday's news to spread.
* LooseLips: Despite the conflict being partly a war of information, a few participants can't help bragging about their Servants. Some of them last surprisingly long, though, which probably means their Servants ''are'' that strong.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: While the male member of the would-be BattleCouple quickly realizes exactly what they've gotten themselves into, his girlfriend remains cheery, eager to battle, and optimistic about their chances.
* TakeCareOfTheKids: The Savvy Guy above asks the protagonist to look after his girlfriend if anything happens to him. He makes this LastRequest [[spoiler:knowing that they've been pitted against one another.]]
* TemptingFate: Several make comments along these lines.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: The guy who gets matched against Rin in the first round completely blows her off as a non-threat, despite all evidence to the contrary. He doesn't make it out, of course. Another female Master is repeatedly ''shocked'' to see that the protagonist survived each round.
* WhatTheHellHero: As news and rumors of their exploits spread around campus, the protagonist can get called out on seemingly wasting time or [[spoiler:playing with Alice]] when they should be preparing for battle instead.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: The standoffish Master outside the Library accuses the protagonist of PlayingTheVictimCard after [[spoiler:being attacked outside the Arena by Archer]].
* YouALLLookFamiliar: Justified; most of them weren't able to customize their {{Digital Avatar}}s.

!!''CCC'' Characters

[[folder:Jinako Karigiri]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/AoiYuki
[[quoteright:129:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_jinako_5135.png]]

The Master of Karna, Jinako is an internet addict and slobbish {{Otaku}} who was somehow sucked into the Moon Cell and became a Master in the Holy Grail War.

-----
* ButNotTooForeign: Though a Japanese, she notes that her father is German.
* ChekhovsSkill: Against [[SmartPeoplePlayChess Rani]], who beats everyone (except [[TheAce Gilgamesh]]) in a game of chess, she wins several games out of 200 rounds of mahjong through luck and willpower alone. (Because mahjong sometimes relies on the RandomNumberGod to get a good hand, even a novice playing against an expert can win a few games through luck. If they keep playing, the novice's wins might outweigh the losses.)
* DirtyCoward: She hides away in the janitor's closet rather than fight back or assist anyone in any way. She won't even let Karna help anyone.
* GagBoobs: As the protagonist notes, "That chest seems to be struggling against the pressure of that (bag’s) belt."
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She says that she wants to trade Karna for [[spoiler:Kiara's]] Caster, thinking that he's an AdorablyPrecociousChild with an adorable voice. [[OlderThanHeLooks He is not]].
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:Her Secret Garden reveals that for all her peppiness, Jinako is actually a very depressed, lonely woman who feels like in the 15 years since her parents died, she's wasted her life. Her wish from the Grail is to go back to when she was 15 and start over, living "what I thought was normal at 15". This secret is so painful to her that she's the only girl to break into crying and screaming ''before'' you defeat her servant in battle. She suffers a complete breakdown by the time you fight her, culminating in her screaming, "Karna! Make them go away! Crush them so that I don't have to face this anymore!"]]
* {{Jerkass}}: She's incredibly selfish and rather unpleasant, including treating her Servant like crap without having the faintest idea of how stupidly powerful he is.
* {{Meganekko}}: Subverted; she has the glasses, and she is intelligent, but she lacks the sweet personality usually associated with the archetype, instead being a selfish jerkass.
%%* MotorMouth
* {{NEET}}: When he notices who she is, Shinji calls her out for being unfair by having more than 6k hours of playtime in an MMO that's less than a year old, which means she plays the game ''18 hours'' per day. She then proudly boasts that she only needs the rest for sleeping. [[spoiler:There's a FreudianExcuse for that, though.]]
* NerdsAreSexy: Her official art has her being rather cute and shapely for a [[spoiler:30 year old]] fujoshi. Oddly enough, fanart tends to portray her more realistically.
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:She's ''thirty years old'']].
* {{Otaku}}: A deconstruction, as noted under ThisLoserIsYou.
%%* ThePigPen
* SmallNameBigEgo: She's a perfect mirror of Shinji, often boasting about her skill and calling herself the "Great Jinako". Though somewhat skilled, she's no match for either Rin and Rani when they go to their post as the MissionControl. She's surprisingly ignorant about the Grail War and its system, and it seems she never goes to the Arena at all. [[spoiler:It's implied that's the reason why no one saw her in the Holy Grail War; she chickens out of the war when she realizes the entire war isn't a game and hides, getting eliminated without fighting a single match. The only reason why she survives is because Karna gave her his armor.]]
* ThisLoserIsYou:
** She’s basically a giant deconstruction of anything to do with {{otaku}}. [[spoiler:She's a loner who deludes herself by believing she has friends and an important status as a champion gamer, and thinks her life is full of freedom because her parents are dead and her finances are supported without work because of her parents' insurance. In reality, her view of the world is so jaded, she doesn't want anything to do with it and as a result lives an ultimately meaningless life.]]
** Gilgamesh does not hide what he thinks of her when they first meet.
--->'''Gilgamesh:''' [[spoiler:Has human life finally become this easy? That one may simply disappear, cared for by no one, criticized by no one, hated by no one — like a living ghost. Kishinami. Did you sacrifice your command spells to me that you could show me such unsightly things? If that is the case, leave that would-be ghost in there to die. Rethink that desire to save what no one cares for.]]
* UnreliableExpositor: Unlike the other SG, hers are told from her point-of-view, which wouldn't be so bad if she didn't admit that she's such an unashamed liar in the same SG...
* YaoiFangirl: A parody of the ''fujoshi'' archetype.

[[folder:Kiara Sessyoin]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/RieTanaka
[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_kiara_01_1302.png]]

The Master of Caster, Kiara is a Buddhist nun who took the identity and teaching position of Taiga Fujimura in the Prologue. There is rather more to her than is immediately apparent.

Her Noble Phantasm is Angra Mainyu/CCC: All the World's Desire, in which she absorbs the collective souls of mankind and envelops them in a whirlwind of orgasmic pleasure intense enough to literally melt and reform their beings in an instant.

-----
* AluminumChristmasTrees: A Buddhist sex cult. [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu It actually existed at one point (and possibly still exists today)]].
* AscendedFanboy: Summons her favorite author as her Servant. [[BrokenPedestal They don't get along.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Revealed to be this in the CCC route and is the one indirectly responsible for BB.]]
* BodyguardingABadass: [[spoiler:In the true final battle of ''CCC'', though Andersen is technically her Servant and is listed as such, in gameplay their positions are flipped; Andersen supplies the support magic and ''Kiara herself'' is the boss.]]
* ClippedWingAngel: [[spoiler:It is implied that she is restrained from her using her full potential as a demon by numerous factors: she absorbed the Sakura AIs who loved the Protagonist, she lacks the capacity to fully understand her newfound power, and Caster's "author's spirit" does not allow her to reach her "ideal self" so easily. ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'''s ''CCC'' crossover event gives us a bit of a glimpse at what she might be capable of when properly unchained, and it's both awe-inspiring and terrifying.]]
* DarkMessiah: She saw that the only way for the world to gain salvation is through her teaching, which is basically [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikawa-ryu having the humanity goes into a wild orgies of sex to ascend spiritually]]. As the world itself is so full of suffering, her real-life counterpart is hailed as the ‘Last Prophet’ for bringing salvation through hedonism and caused thousands of suicides. [[spoiler:She becomes Angra Mainyu, but instead of evil, she becomes an embodiment of lust by being an idol of lust and an object of humanity's lewd desire.]]
* DidntSeeThatComing: She dies in the normal CCC story mode at the hands of Meltryllis, foiling any plans she had.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:Her class "Heaven's Hole" and her Noble Phantasm.]]
* {{Foil}}: To ''Stay/Night's'' Kirei Kotomine. Both are religious leaders responsible by providing exposition about the early game circumstance, only to take mastermind and final boss roles later down the line. While Kotomine still maintains his shades of a moral compass while fully believing himself to be evil, Kiara is much more morally unshackled while unwavering believing herself to be good.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:She can use both Meltryllis and Passionlip as "back-up" bodies if her original self is killed. In the Normal routes, her backups get killed off before she can do this, but in the CCC Route she ''does'' successfully evade death by possessing Passionlip instead.]]
* IllGirl: Couldn't even leave her bed until she was 14. However it turns out her disease was easily treatable with modern methods and no one in her village knew about it because of their conservative and isolationist culture.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: By Meltryllis. [[spoiler:A decoy is used in the CCC Route.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:Considers herself the only person to be truly human.]]
* MadLove: Her love for all humanity.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast:
** Her first name was conceived as a composite of '''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Ki]]'''rei and '''[[LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners Ara]]'''ya, two of the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'s biggest villains.
** The characters that makes ‘Sesshouin’ literally mean ‘Biocide Institute’. Not something you expected a nun to have.
* NaughtyNuns: When your sect of Buddhism focuses on gaining enlightenment through sexual pleasure, you can't get naughtier than this.
* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:She uses the power of the Moon Cell and Caster's Noble Phantasm to become a powerful demon: a counterpart to Avenger (Angra Mainyu), except one created from all the desires in the world instead of all of the evils. And much like with Angra himself in ''stay night'', ''Grand Order'' reveals there was even more going on here, which you can pick up some foreshadowing of in ''CCC'' itself if you pay attention.]]
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Transforms into a demon comparable to Angra Mainyu, but failed to achieve the rank of a true God and true demon. She does have the power of a true demon, which is the ability to harm beings NotOfThisEarth.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her last name can be spelled ''Sesshouin'' or ''Sessyoin'' depending on the romanization system used; there isn't a ton of agreement about which to use among the fanbase.
* TheTease: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is basically smothering the protagonist with her chest after falling from the stairs, then seeming to deliberately prolong their suffering [[DistractedByTheSexy (?)]] for a moment with an absurdly fake innocence. Then she has the gall to call the accident “heated tryst” right in front of the class later.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Her desire to save the world through her sect is so incomprehensibly self-torturing, everyone’s wondering just how much she likes being used. [[spoiler:In the final battle, she keeps saying "More!" when a Servant gets a good hit on her.]]
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:The final boss of the CCC route.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: She passes herself off as a harmless Master with a worthless Servant. Her motivations and indeed story itself are guarded secrets only unlocked by following steps that are not apparent and generally speaking not even possible on your first playthrough.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Since the beginning, she’s dismissive of Sakura’s capability to feel emotion because AI shouldn’t have that kind of anomalous programs, and only true humans can. [[spoiler:That’s the reason why she can’t comprehend that Sakura’s and BB's love is real, and also the reason why Sakura Labyrinth exists. For her, the [=AIs=] exist for her to manipulate.]]
* WrongGenreSavvy: She likens her ambitions and [[spoiler:metamorphosis]] to those of Literature/TheLittleMermaid, the protagonist of her favorite story. However, her intended similarities are ultimately superficial, with [[spoiler:BB]] ultimately resembling the lovelorn heroine and the siren's bittersweet quest for humanity more than her.

After seizing control of the Moon Cell, she imposes her will over the "Far Side" by destroying the Holy Grail War and replacing it with the Sakura Labyrinth, the keys to which are hidden within the hearts of the Masters and Servants trapped there.

Her true identity is a mutation of the Sakura Caretaker AI that controls the Moon Cell. After Kiara Sesshouin hacked the Sakura AI and removed her behavioural constraints, Sakura fell in love with the Protagonist and placed him/her in a GroundhogDayLoop to prevent their inevitable death at the end of the Holy Grail War. However, knowing that this was not a permanent or ethical solution but unable to come up with a better idea, Sakura broke down further and decided to escape the pain by restoring herself to factory settings. Because AI data cannot be erased, she moved her memories of loving the Protagonist into a trash file that was stored away, where they eventually gained sentience and became BB.

Her Noble Phantasm is C.C.C. (Cursed Cutting Crater), an Anti-World Noble Phantasm created from the combined authority over creation held by every primordial goddess in history, now usurped by BB. With it, B.B. can create new worlds as she desires, completely overwriting every aspect of the previous world. Her mastery over creation is so absolute that she can affect abstract concepts like consciousness or luck, and even the rules of cause and effect. In battle, she uses it to encase her target in a world where they no longer exist, wiping them out.

* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler:Subverted, as B.B. only really went crazy due to being hacked by Kiara Sesshouin.]]
%%* AlphaBitch
* AntiVillain: She has almost no malice to her enemies, she’s never actively attacking your party [[spoiler:until Moon Cell overrides her, and her goal is to ensure you survive through the entire Grail War alive]].
* BoobsOfSteel: Quite busty. Also capable of going pointer-to-sword with Gawain when he's fully serious. Her stats [[MasterOfAll (all of them, of course)]] are star-ranked, which is not possible to numerically represent, beyond even EX.
* CallingYourAttack: When using Crowns of Ten Rulerships/Hill of Seven against Gawain;
--> '''BB''': Sakura Beeeeeam!!!
* TheChessmaster: She is completely aware that she, as an infirmary AI, doesn't have any active combat ability to defend herself. So she uses the Sentinels to buy time to absorb more data, then she sends out her Alter Egos to engage with the Masters. As the Alter Egos are parts of her, when the Masters fight them, her system turns on her self-preservation mode against the aggression, allowing her to use the authority to engage in battle, and allowing her own system to absorb more harmful data into herself.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:She absorbed the forgotten primordial Goddess from which all Goddesses originate, along with the Goddesses that came from her such as Tiamat, Gaia, Athena, Ishtar, Astarte, etc.]]
* CreepyMonotone: If she's sufficiently ticked off (notably refusing to sever your contract with Gilgamesh, or even if you decide to), she lapses into this. [[spoiler:When the Moon Cell wins in its and BB’s struggle of power over the Moon Cell’s control, it starts up full time.]]
* CuteBruiser: No matter what kind of power within her arsenal, she’s still the impishly cute junior [=BB=]-chan and acts that way.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: UpToEleven, it doesn't even cover most of her panties. From her SG, it seems she doesn't notice the constant panty shot she gives everyone.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: In the ''Fox Tail'' manga, she wears a massive, elegant dress, but is barefoot.
%%* {{Doppelganger}}: To Sakura Matou.
* EvilIsHammy: She's as evil as she is over the top, and she ''will'' let you know it.
%%* EyeBeam
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Of the normal Far Side story mode.]]
* GenkiGirl: Acts this way during "BB Channel" segments, but calms down otherwise.
* HeroicSacrifice: In CCC True End, holding back Moon Cell's [[AdvancingWallOfDoom Advancing Firewall of Doom]] as your Servant tries to clear the path out of the Labyrinth, complete with an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove.
* HolyHalo: In the fight against her she has a purple like halo behind her, which has a eye in the middle.
%%* IAmNotLeftHanded: See TheChessmaster
* HumanityOnTrial: [[spoiler:After the Moon Cell starts taking control of her, it uses her to begin a vote by all things that have ever existed on earth on whether humanity should be wiped out or not. Most lifeforms voted for humanity's extinction including humanity itself. Most plants were firmly on humanity's side and voted for their survival.]]
* KingOfAllCosmos: Omnipotent AI who creates the entire Labyrinth in the Far Side of the Moon, capable of doing just about everything, and has stats that are immeasurable even against the immeasurable EX rank, yet she spends her time trolling her opponents and allies alike with mild pranks and hijacking the transmission to host her talk show BB Channel.
* KillerGameMaster: Due to her being in charge of the Moon Cell, she can use all kinds of ridiculously unbalanced abilities in battle, like a manifestation of the tainted Holy Grail itself.
* LeotardOfPower: Similarly to the playable Saber, while it looks like she's constantly giving {{Panty Shot}}s, she's actually wearing a white leotard under her skirt.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: She's Sakura's backup that she filled with her growing affection for the protagonist when her function disallowed her to act so. The backup grew its own sentience and became BB. Also, the Alter Egos are parts of her that she separates from herself as her drones to perform functions in the Labyrinth. The more Alter Egos she splits from herself, the weaker she gets. Passionlip calls her Mother, though.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: She's Sakura's discarded affection for Hakuno, and despite her pleasant overall attitude and demeanor she is not a very nice person. [[spoiler:Zig-zagged in the final fight where she muses that she did all this to protect someone, yet can't remember who as a result of the Moon Cell interfering. Subverted entirely in that it was Kiara hacking her that made her turn out this way, which is only revealed on the CCC route.]]
* MeaningfulName: Capsule Servant reveals that ''BB'' is an acronym for ''Black Blossom'', fitting the FloralThemeNaming of the Sakuras and her status as Dark Sakura's expy. This is supported by Meltryllis who refers her as ''Black Sakura''.
* NoSell: Potnia Theron, the embodiment of all the Mother Goddesses she absorbed, makes it so no being of earthly origin can defy or harm her. The effect can be nullified by activating the Zero Model in the servant, and the Protagonist is unaffected since they were able to exist thanks to the Moon Cell, which makes them alien in origin as a result.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Suffers a few through the storyline when her charming, GenkiGirl mask slips to become something more mechanical. [[spoiler:It's because she cannot handle manipulating the entire Moon Cell, and it's starting to consume her]].
* PhallicWeapon: Her riding crop[=/=]baton is actually a transformed version of the Bishop Staff of Rulership, which is explicitly stated to be symbolic of the phallus as it is literally an erect rod.
* PhysicalGod: Within the Moon Cell, she can do almost anything imaginable. Travel through time, decide the future, strip away all of your powers, manipulate your senses, set the rules of the Grail War to whatever she wants, resurrect the dead, and much more. Even after you go through extensive preparations in order to stand up to her, she can still render herself invincible temporarily and [[OneHitKill instantly defeat you]] [[NonStandardGameOver with her Noble Phantasm]].
* PureIsNotGood: She created her Alter Egos to excise parts of her being that she found troublesome. Now free of doubt and all other internal conflict, she's more megalomaniacally unfettered than anything else.
* ShadowArchetype: To Sakura, figuratively and [[EnemyWithout literally]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: She doesn't mind being called "Bebe" or "Baby".
* StoryBreakerPower: Oh lordy. She absorbed the powers of hundreds of Servants and Masters, giving her sufficient power to attempt hacking the core of the Moon Cell itself. Fortunately, she can't overcome her original nature as a "caretaker AI", and thus has practically no combat power.
* TimeStandsStill: The Moon Cell cannot be hacked no matter how long you spend attempting to hack it, B.B. places herself outside of Time itself in order to take control of it.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Where B.B. stores the Golden Grail for her Aurea Boura Attack.
* {{Yandere}}: For the Protagonist.

[[folder:Passionlip]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/YuiOgura
[[quoteright:244:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_plccc_75.png]]

A girl whose arms have been shaped into massive metallic talons. Like Meltryllis, she bears the same face as BB. Although Passionlip is friendly to the Protagonist at first, she attacks after receiving orders from "her mother".

Her true nature is that of an "Alter Ego", a "High Servant" created by BB after she accessed the records of the Moon Cell. She is a composite of three Servants- Parvati, Durga and Brynhildr- and her giant arms are the embodiment of the ten weapons that Durga received from the gods.

Her Noble Phantasm is Brynhild Romantia: Until Death Divide the Two Apart, the spear that Brynhildr used to exact revenge upon the hero Sigurd, who had promised to marry her but later betrayed her trust by deceiving her into marrying his brother-in-law (the king Gunther) instead. As such, the more affection the user has towards the target of this Noble Phantasm, the deadlier and more accurate the attack will be.

------
* AbhorrentAdmirer: To the protagonist. Well, more like a FanDisservice incarnate than outright ugly, but with hands as large and deadly as hers, people just want to stay away from her. She doesn't understand why her affection is unwanted, though.
-->'''Caster''': "That girl... Does she never look into a mirror?"
* BigEater: She engages in battle several times, but always breaks off first because she always gets hungry in the middle of it.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:She is a composite of the Indian Goddesses Parvati and Durga, and the valkyrie Brynhildr, and her giant arms are the embodiment of the ten weapons Durga received from the gods.]]
* ConspicuouslySelectivePerception: Her skills, "Quality as a Target of Abuse" and "Barrier Against Cognizance", essentially take this trope up to its logical extreme. Quality as a Target of Abuse basically makes her automatically DrawAggro from surrounding enemies and turn herself into a giant punching bag, while Barrier Against Cognizance turns the trope onto ''herself'', making her unable to perceive her own strange body proportion and making her capable of executing her SuperStrength skill. She ''weaponizes'' NotEvilJustMisunderstood by [[UpToEleven turning her own perceptions into those of abuse victims]]! [[PlayingTheVictimCard She would then use those abuses as a "justification" for lashing out]], never to realize that she was made that way.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Everyone near her has an inexplicable urge to be abusive to her, and her Punishment Time is disturbingly played like a sexual assault.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: She destroys the Noble Phantasm of Archer [[spoiler:Robin Hood]] that he gave her because she wants to use it as ribbon.
* FemmeFatalons: [[UpToEleven To a ridiculous extent]], as her hands end in massive claws that are closer to ten {{BFS}} than "fingers".
* FloralThemeNaming: She is named after the passionflower.
* GagBoobs: Her official bust size is [[UpToEleven 160]] cm, and her [[MaleGaze hip size is 87]] cm.
* HumanoidAbomination: She's the only Alter Ego, beside the unseen Kingprotea, that is visibly monstrous. She weights 1 ton and unlike Meltryllis (who is not even that bad), she doesn’t have an indication of weight "without". That means her giant arms and hands are not prostheses.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Her entire character arc is that she's under a delusion, brought by her id_skills, that she's a normal girl who just happens to get pushed around by everyone. She tries to do delicate tasks even though her fingers are literal swords, she tries to be affectionate but her very personality is twisted by nature and she would harm her target of affection without fail, her DrawAggro skill makes everyone around her unable to resist the urge to abuse her and her other skill makes her unaware that [[DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength she's causing all of these]]. Her inability to realize that she's not normal makes her lash out for the wrong reasons, and she ends up getting some sense beaten into her.
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN284EDwIDo Dreamin']]
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: To a ridiculous extent. She has a 160cm bust, 63cm waist and 87cm hips.
* KickTheDog: Because of her skill always gathering aggro and inciting people around her to be abusive to her, she always becomes a victim of this. Robin Hood physically and verbally abuses her (something that he is horrified to realize is not in his usual character), Alice and Nursery Rhyme bully her to the point of KidsAreCruel, and even the protagonist has the chance to do her in; if the protagonist goes on to her Punishment Time, they dismiss her ability to love and denounce her as an irredeemable monster - leaving Passionlip a sobbing, self-hating wreak as she dies.
* MostCommonSuperPower: She takes the large breasts of Sakura and BB to such exaggerated extremes, that she almost appears disfigured as a result.
* RocketPunch: [[spoiler:Brynhild Romantia, which becomes stronger and unavoidable more she loves her target. And she loves the protagonist so very much...]]
* ShootTheShaggyDog: If enough flags were gathered and proper understanding of BB's motive is gained (which is GuideDangIt unless you're in NewGamePlus), it's possible to spare Passionlip from the Punishment Time, which is fatal to the Alter Egos. Getting a second chance to live out her life even though she's just a small offshoot of BB, both she and the protagonist then promise each other they will meet again in a better ground. [[spoiler:When Meltryllis attacks Kiara, Kiara is using Passionlip as her decoy. Poor Passionlip then left to die alone, her thoughts filled with her broken promise.]]
%%* ShrinkingViolet
* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler:She had been following the protagonists and their servant for some time before being fought as a boss]].
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She wears nothing on her top save for a couple of straps over her breasts.
* SuperStrength: With those arms it was obvious (she has a A+ rank in Strength) but it goes further than that: she also has an EX-ranked skill that allows her to crush ''anything'' that can fit into her oversized hands into a small five-inch-wide cube. And it doesn't even ''need'' to be so in reality; if she can use DepthDeception to "fit" her target within her claws via FingerFraming, then [[PerspectiveMagic she perceives it as "crushable"]]. The game acknowledges the absurdity of this, even classifying it as a "cheat" skill. Her strength is also so absurd that merely attempting to ''touch'' her hands will cause your arms to ''explode'' if you're anything less than a Servant.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Her boobs are ''literal'' trash bins! Her main duty is to crush trash data and store it away in the valley of her breasts, even things that would otherwise exceed her memory capacity. [[GagBoobs They're just that huge]].
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Her Barrier Against Cognizance is so bad, she thinks the reason that everyone rejects her is because she's an Alter Ego and BB's clone, instead of her monstrous appearance. Her entire Punishment Time is basically telling her that yes, she's a monster and yes, it doesn't matter; a girl is still a girl.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:For the Protagonist. Her composites goddesses are those who also screwed by love, to boot]].

[[folder:Meltryllis]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/SaoriHayami
[[quoteright:249:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_meltlillith_3535.png]]

A deadly fighter whose face resembles that of BB. She has sharpened spikes for legs, and a love of violence.

Her true nature is that of an "Alter Ego", a "High Servant" created by BB after she accessed the records of the Moon Cell. She is a composite of three Servants- Artemis, Leviathan/Lotan, and Sarasvati-.

Her Noble Phantasm is Saraswati Meltout: Benzaiten's Five String Biwa, a concept of Saraswati's rule over civilization as the Goddess of River, Art, and Education. A non-combat Anti-World Noble Phantasm that turned destructive because of Meltryllis's love for battle, it is a great sweeping tidal cyclone that destroys the form of "anything that flows", whether it be water, words or even morality; thus the very concept of civilization itself.
-----
%%* AnimalMotif: Bee
* AlasPoorVillain: As explained by the protagonist, Meltryllis herself [[spoiler:fears being loved]]. Caster's analysis of her pretty much explains this:
--> '''[=Caster=]''': A visage of a girl who is proud, but therefore, tragic.
* ArmedLegs: Her lower legs are giant metal prostheses she uses to fight with.
* AssimilationBackfire: [[spoiler:She attempts to assimilate Shinji because of his intelligence. Unfortunately for Meltryllis, Shinji's a genius hacker and was able to implant a virus in himself that weakens her.]]
* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:Her ranked A skill Melt Virus allows her to absorb anyone she injects it into after they have been liquefied. It allows her to absorb EXP, Skills, Capacity, and more this way.]]
* BigSisterBully: To Passionlip; she's verbally abusive and callous to Lip as she can only protest weakly at her.
%%* BloodKnight
* BreakTheHaughty: The entire point of her punishment scene is to break her ''eternal unchanging love'' philosophy.
* CatchPhrase: Her “[[InsistentTerminology Came from BB, and yet not BB]]” every time she introduces herself or other Alter Egos is the first sign of her [[BetaTestBaddie most apparent issue]].
* CombatStilettos: Her legs end in ''massive'' stiletto-like points.
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:She is a composite of the Greek Goddess Artemis, Old Testament's Leviathan or Ugaritic's Lotan, and the Indian Goddess Sarasvati.]]
* CreepyBallet: Meltryllis performs dances based on those from operas like ''Theatre/{{Giselle}}''. She uses those dances to rip her foes to ribbons with her ArmedLegs and melt them into data for her to absorb and devour.
* DanceBattler: Her fighting style identified as bastardized ballet, though it's said that she wasn't training to gain that skill but by hacking herself into having that skill.
* FastballSpecial: Her combination attack with Passionlip, Virgin Razor Palladion, unseen in CCC but used against Gawain and Karna in ''Fox Tail'', has Passionlip throw her legs first into the enemy.
* FloralThemeNaming: She is named after Lily flower, the origin of Lilith's name. This is also true for the Meltryllis spelling, as it derives from amaryllis.
* {{Expy}}: Has some elements of Dark Sakura from Heaven's Feel, such as [[spoiler:assimilating people into her body]]
* HandicappedBadass: As noted by her skill, she’s in all but form a quadruplet amputee and it doesn’t hinder her as a bonafide BloodKnight.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Deconstructed, because the nature of her love is so warped that no one would be happy with it. [[spoiler:Played straight in CCC Route, which she lets the protagonist go as she knows that just be able to love is enough for her]].
* ImageSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ31EvUlKTY Doukoku ("Poison")]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Her preferred method of killing her victims in cutscene is usually by impaling them with her knee spikes, while in battle it's usually with her heels.
* IShallTauntYou: When using [[DeflectorShields Farewell Albrecht]].
--> ''Oh~ Scary, scary~!''
* KickChick: Her main form of attacking is using her ArmedLegs.
* MakingASplash: [[spoiler:The goddesses that she is a composite of are those who had strong ties with water or the tides: Artemis, a goddess who strikes those who seeks power to rule over moon movement and tide rising, Leviathan, the famous sea monster that becomes model of Moses's staff that split the Red Sea, and Saraswati, Hindu's river goddess. And then, there's her Noble Phantasm, Saraswati Meltout, which she surrounds her opponent within torrent of water.]]
* MotorMouth: Normally an aloof IceQueen, if the topic of the conversation is Figurine then she will talk '''non-stop'''.
--> '''[=Meltryllis=]''': [[labelnote:Wall of Text]]That’s right, precisely. Dolls are nice. However much I love them, they don’t complain, they never show displeasure, they never change. While I consider human consumer culture foolish, I am grateful that it has polished figurine culture. [[[LampshadeHanging She begins talking much faster than her usual languid pace.]]] It began with the statue of Venus, I think. In Greece. That’s what I imagine. And from there it spread through countries, across oceans, across time...When it reached the hands of Japanese craftsmen, a big bang rivaling the birth of the universe, no, a paradigm shift occurred. It’s come out already, so I’ll just say it. I like dolls. I love them. From life-sized to miniatures, I appreciate them all equally! But certainly scale models in particular draw my interest. Being able to run you tongue over them and admire them from 360 degrees gives such a feeling of control, of ownership, it’s the best there is. All there can be for those who can’t appreciate this hobby is total reeducation. After they’re melted, I’ll make them into base materials. Ah, but American action figures are no good. Too much muscle. When it comes to industrial arts, the delicacy of the Japanese is second to none. My dream is to gather lost model-makers and have them build my own toy story kingdom — Ah, of course I’ll make the craftsmen into dolls as well. Figurine craftsmen polishing their arms day after day, pursuing the ultimate mold...good smiles! Is there any other image so lovely? No, there can’t be. There isn’t, and so I will build it![[/labelnote]]
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Meltryllis is a ridiculously unbalanced opponent: she's Lv. 999(due to Level Limit), she can [[MegaManning absorb the EXP, skills and stats]] of fallen enemies to strengthen herself, and best of all, ''she is [[NighInvulnerability immune to damage]]''. [[spoiler:B.B. removes her invulnerability, and later Shinji uses an AssimilationBackfire to infect her with a virus that drops her to Lv. 1. By the time you fight her for real, she's far more squishy and actually easier to deal with than Passionlip because she only focuses on raw offensive power]].
* {{Narcissist}}: [[spoiler:As her main component is Sarasvati, Hindu Goddess of Culture]], it’s not exactly wrong when she says she’s acting on humanity’s desire. But her way of showing love to humanity is twisted into a self-love completely barren of anyone else, and instead assimilating said everyone into herself so she can love herself along with everyone more.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's the second oldest Alter Ego after the unseen Violet, and yet looks like a standard lolicon bait. It seems she has a complex regarding of being older, and yet looks younger than Passionlip.
* PetitePride: She comments that BB and Passionlip have too much "excessive meat".
--> '''Meltryllis''': Which is to say it’s a body where every part is carefully placed, apace with the upper limits of the plastic arts.
* RapunzelHair: Same as Sakura and B.B.
* ReallyGetsAround: From the skill description, it seems this is the reason why she has that B rank Riding skill.
* SenseFreak: An actual Skill of hers: Neurological Disorder. She's essentially a quadruple amputee because of it. Seeking to gain her touching sense in a proactive manner, [[BloodKnight she can only feel satisfied with it by fighting]]. Another outlet for her touching sense is by [[MundaneLuxury collecting and making figurines]], which is all but impossible as her fingers are uselessly paralyzed.
* SoftSpokenSadist: She always talks with a certain grace that only apparent to stereotypical IceQueen and Andersen describes her as ‘mother-like’ in manner and speech. Doesn’t stop her from being such a sadistic bitch who dismisses everyone as pawns and dolls, revels in the strength from other’s suffering, and completely loses herself when fighting.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is ''supposed'' to be "Meltryllis", in order to match the floral naming of the other Alter Egos, including the ones in secondary materials; she is named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaryllis amaryllis]] and as of ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', all game-related material and international releases are consistent in spelling her name this way. But no, your eyes do not deceive you: her name is indeed spelled "Meltlilith" in ''CCC'' itself, as shipped. This is because "ryllis" and "lilith" are both transliterated as リリス in katakana, and evidently the graphic design team somehow wasn't informed of the intended Anglo-Romantic spelling. As a result, her name is consistently spelled "Meltlilith" in-game and also in promo material leading up to ''CCC'''s release, and the error wasn't caught in time to correct it before the game went to print.
* StatusBuffDispel: [[spoiler:Sarasvati Meltout’s effect of "destroying the form of anything that flows" translated as [[PowerParasite stealing enemies' status buffs and giving them to herself]].]]
* TheStarscream: She dislikes BB because BB is one-upping her attempt to be an absolute being. [[spoiler:Her floor is where most of BB’s remaining ally Servants kick the bucket because Meltryllis destroys them in one way or another in her quest to overthrow BB.]]
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her top half is fully covered but the same thing cannot be said for the bottom half.
* TooKinkyToTorture: She outright challenges the protagonist to make her cough out her confession in her Punishment Time. She holds out her composure the best of all Sentinels.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:For the Protagonist. If Archer is the Female Protagonist's servant, she is yandere for him.]]

!!''CCC'' Servants

[[folder:Gilgamesh]]
!!!Voiced by Creator/TomokazuSeki
[[quoteright:247:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_gilgameshccc_8778.png]]

A new playable Servant in ''Fate/EXTRA CCC''. Gilgamesh is known as the "King of Heroes", a legendary Servant who boasts that he is so powerful, he does not fall under any of the typical seven Classes. His ego is so great that he does not bother to hide his identity as the famous Babylonian king who was said to own all of the world's treasures.

His Noble Phantasm is the Gate of Babylon, a portal leading to the treasury containing the thousands upon thousands of Noble Phantasms he collected during his lifetime. As he lacks the proficiency to wield most of them, Gilgamesh mainly uses them as projectiles or shields. However, he does have a few favourites: such as the anti-World Noble Phantasm Ea, a drill-sword that he uses for his devastating Enuma Elish FinishingMove.
-----
* TheAce: WordOfGod states that the main reason Gilgamesh has no class was because "there was no more reason to restrict his power [using the Class system]". In fact, [[spoiler:the reason he is not allowed to be summoned on the Near Side is because he would make the Holy Grail War ''too easy''. Thus he can only be summoned on the Far Side.]]
* ArmorIsUseless: An odd example, and something of a DoubleSubversion. Gilgamesh's default costume is his [[ArmorOfInvincibility infamously durable]] golden armor, and his Guard animation involves raising his gauntlet to stop his opponent's attack dead. However, because he still does this even without the armor equipped, after you unlock more costumes for him (basically blocking with his bare hand), and the breastplate itself doesn't hamper the enemy's damage, this trope still applies and his Guard animation is best chalked up to RuleOfCool.
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Created from the Counter Force by the Gods to control humanity]].
* AnAxeToGrind: One of his weapons that can be used in his attacks.
* BadassArmfold: His standard battle stance. Only by getting his HP to red does he lower his arms to a relaxed standing pose.
* BagOfSpilling: Him being at level 1 is the result of sleeping for (in Moon Cell time) over a millennia. He said he could regain his power by just using his Elixir of Youth and turning himself into a kid and thus naturally regaining his power by growing up (like he did in the time from Zero to Stay), but says it would be fun to do it the old-fashioned way.
%%* BladeOnAStick
* BlindedByTheLight: When confronted by Red Lancer, Gilgamesh deals with her by [[spoiler:stripping naked. [[MaleFrontalNudity His crotch (but not his buttocks)]] is concealed by a shining golden sun]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Most characters don't really grasp Gilgamesh's morals. For example, he doesn't consider red Lancer to be a traitor to her Master because they were never pursuing the same goals to begin with, so when a better opportunity came up for her, betrayal was a natural decision to make.
%%* TheCaligula
* DefrostingIceKing: He comes to regard the Protagonist at almost the same level as Enkidu.
* DualWielding: Can use two swords in combat.
* EasierThanEasy: According to the beta testers in a blog post, using Gil is essentially cheating because of how high his base stats are. There's a good reason that his mode is called "Cheat mode" in-game.
* EscapedFromHell: [[spoiler:Pulls this off in his ending when he burns through all three of his own Command Seals and a reported ''90% of his Noble Phantasm treasury'' to break out of the Far Side and rescue the Protagonist from deletion at the end of the Near Side story]].
* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: He ''is'' a demigod.
* GuideDangIt: Gilgamesh's Secret Garden is much harder to get without looking it up. The first requires you to use over 10 items, and must be done before you obtained the first SG of the Sentinel ''from Chapter 3 onwards'', or it will be {{Permanently Miss|ableContent}}ed. Particularly jarring since the other servants are not as hard to acquire.
* HasAType: A noble and virgin woman will always be his type. Preferably rich and well-endowed noble, virgin women. He spends much of his time with Hakuno telling her that she's too plain, poor, and skinny to ever be one of his lovers.
* TheHedonist: Look around his private room; he replaces the bed for a throne for himself (which means the protagonist sleeps in some other corner), decorated by tapestry, the shelves and table is full of wine bottles, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a lion doll because he can't get the real one]].
* HiddenDepths: This was one of Nasu's intentions for Gil's depiction in this game. According to WordOfGod, his personality is affected by the era in which he's summoned to. This is why he was such an insufferable douche during Fate/Zero. However, the era he's summoned to in this game affects him more positively, which is why he's more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold here.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Just like the Gilgamesh from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero'', he mainly fights by pulling weapons out of his treasury or just launching them.
* ItAmusedMe: Gilgamesh responded to Hakuno's call because he found interest to Hakuno's refusal to give up even as they are about to disappear when they first met.
--> '''Gilgamesh''': How amusing. Even as you prepare to lose yourself, you have something that you still cannot forget?
* ItMakesSenseInContext: Most of his conversations only make sense if you have prior knowledge of things in-universe. Like his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Gawain flies over everyone’s heads because they don’t know who Arthur actually is and calling Julius [[spoiler:"a ghost" before the reveal that this Julius was taken after the fight in the final week, from which he had lost his round and only remaining as a cyber ghost]].
* ItsAllAboutMe: He's calmer and less psychotic than he was in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''... but only because the ''EXTRA'' world resembles ''his'' kingdom more than the primary world did.
* ItsPersonal: He was fine letting BB do whatever she wanted and all, [[spoiler:but after nearly being taken by BB and seeing the determination his Master went through to save him,]] Gilgamesh declares BB to be his enemy now.
* JerkassHasAPoint: A lot of the things he says, while cruel, are pretty much spot on. They way he calls out Gawain for putting his king on a pedestal is spot on, but because Gilgamesh is a jerk nobody wants to listen to him. If you voice support for his position, though, all Hakuno does is defend Gilgamesh, not his statements.
* LonelyAtTheTop: [[spoiler:After he became a adult and came to understand the world and the future in ways [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer neither Gods nor Humans could understand]]. Leading to him becoming the arrogant Jerkass Tyrant until he met Enkidu]].
* LoveHurts: He likes the kind of love that is and has a potential of being cynical, the love that also has an ugly side beside the good. That's why he somehow respects {{Yandere}}, {{Narcissist}}, and MyMasterRightOrWrong kind of people; they love so openly to the point of unsightliness, and that kind of love will surely become either their downfall or salvation. [[DeadSidekick Must be talking from experience]].
--> ''That which appeals my heart the most is the sound of a heart breaking that, when you washed the beautiful (heart), drips an even more beautiful water. When you lick it, it tastes sweet.''
* MasterOfAll: Gilgamesh uses all of his stats equally and suffers no draw backs as a result. His physical strength is more than Saber's, his magic stat is higher than Caster's, and his skills are more useful and powerful than Archer's.
* MundaneUtility: He has a poison-tasting Noble Phantasm stored away.
* MythologyGag: His swimsuit mystic code vaguely resembled what Gilgamesh wore in his child form.
* NotSoDifferent: To the [[spoiler:Moon Cell, which was also created to observe humanity]].
* NoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:Enuma Elish. It not only does the maximum possible damage in the game, it ''also'' inflicts the "instant death" effect on top of that. So it does enough damage to annihilate anything in the game, and then applies a one hit kill effect anyway, just because. On top of that, it can only be used when the enemy is at less than 30% of their health, ensuring that the "instant death" effect is redundant no matter what. There is no possible situation that this Noble Phantasm is not pure overkill.]]
* OneHitKill: [[spoiler:His Enuma Elish attack kills any enemy with less than 30% HP remaining, including boss characters.]]
* OnlyFriend: Enkidu as it has always been. [[spoiler:He is still able to grow close to the Protagonist over time]].
* PetTheDog: Has a few of these after [[spoiler:escaping from the seal BB placed on him and seeing Hakuno so determined to save him]]. He starts by saying he'd give Hakuno candy as a commemoration for their good work and overall, starts to treat Hakuno nicer. And here's what he had to say for [[spoiler:Alice and Nursery Rhyme later]].
--> '''Gilgamesh''': Hurry. If you go now you can catch up with your mistress. Illusion and ghost curled up together. Speak together, laugh together, take one another’s hand, and so disappear together to wherever you may go.
* PunnyName: The "A.U.O. Cast Off System" he possesses in this game is phonetically identical to the Japanese rendition of his title, ''Eiyū-Ō'' (英雄王, "King of Heroes").
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Gawain over his loyalty to his king, right in front of the Student Council. He basically calls out Gawain for not catching Arthur’s personal dilemma over her "perfect king" image and further burdening her with that adoration and expectation. Gawain unintentionally proves him right by not listening to his words and keeping his position as a mindless, loyal knight only answering to his king’s whim, though at that moment everyone agrees with Gawain as they’re ignorant of what he means.
* RegeneratingMana: Gets the ability to regen MP after passing Level 20 for 3 turns.
* SemiDivine: Two-thirds divine. [[labelnote:Genealogy]]Gilgamesh's [[HumanMomNonhumanDad mother was a human who had sex with two male gods]]; according to [[ScienceMarchesOn Mesopotamian genealogy of the time and myth]], [[GenderInvertedTrope both males]] [[HasTwoMommies were Gilgamesh's fathers in equal measure]].[[/labelnote]]
* ShamelessFanserviceGuy: First appears in his Servant ending completely naked, though he puts clothes on later. There's also him casting off his clothes in front of Lancer. He also has a completely casual reaction to Rani's demands that Hakuno strip for one level, neither excited nor disgusted.
* ShoutOut: His "secret Noble Phantasm" (the A.U.O. "Cast Off" system) is a ShoutOut to the "Cast Off" system in ''Series/KamenRiderKabuto'' (with the same effect and everything).
* TheStarscream: Gilgamesh makes no secret of the fact that, as his first action is to steal his own Command Seals from you, he could kill you at any time if he feels the whim. The dialogue choices you make determine whether he follows up on this threat or eventually becomes a SarcasticDevotee to you.
* StormOfBlades: Uses Gate of Babylon this way when guarding. Also has it as one of his skills.
* ThisIsADrill: He uses one that's also a [[CoolGuns Gun]] [[{{BFG}} that's bigger than him]]. Also, as all people who have read Fate/Stay Night should know, Ea resembles a drill more than a sword, since '''[[UpToEleven It´s older than the concept of the first sword]]'''.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: [[spoiler:Although created by the Gods to keep them relevant and control humanity, he ends up being the one who deals the fatal blow that ends their reign]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Continues to act harshly towards the protagonist, even after coming to like them.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:Back when he was a young boy. Loved by the people, the Gods, and ruled them fairly]].
* WellDoneSonGuy: The protagonist as this relationship with him. Realizing just how precious Gilgamesh's praises are, s/he starts using them as a scale of his/her achievements. At least, that's how it goes if both the Master and the Servant are not trying to out-{{Tsun|dere}} each other.
* WillfullyWeak: In a sense. His sleep brought him back down to level 1, but unlike the other servants he still has full access to his Noble Phantasm. He holds back on using it purely because he knows his master would never be able to handle the mana strain it creates until they become stronger.
* YouGotSpunk: He really appreciates it when people stand up to him or even oppose him so long as they do so with strong, consistent conviction. When Andersen calls him a selfish tyrant to his face he practically applauds.

[[folder:Karna]]
!!!Master: Jinako Karigiri | Voiced by Creator/KojiYusa
[[quoteright:181:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_karnaccc_2472.png]]

A cold and powerful warrior whose body has been fused with a suit of invincible armour.

As the rules of the Holy Grail War have become corrupted, there is no reason for him to hide his identity as the invulnerable hero from the Indian epic ''Literature/{{Mahabharata}}''. Karna is summoned as a Lancer, (although his Master later gives him the nickname of "Launcher" Class.)

His Noble Phantasm is Vasavi Shakti: O Sun, Abide to Death, the spear that Indra (king of the Devas) granted to Karna after being shamed by the latter's unflinching generosity and self-sacrificial honour. As the mightiest weapon of Indra, Vasavi Shakti is a spear of light that can take down even gods, but can only be used by Karna once.
-----
* AllLovingHero: How he got the title as the "Hero of Generosity".
* ArmorOfInvincibility: His kavacha (armor) and kundala (earring) are so powerful that not even [[StoryBreakerPower B.B.]] can do as much as put a scratch on them. [[spoiler:He gave the armor to Jinako without her knowledge or consent so that she could survive the reset]].
* {{Bishonen}}: Acknowledged in his official profile in that he exudes a "divine radiance" and is stated to be beautiful in every regard, but this trait is undercut by his [[PerpetualFrowner constant frowning]] and piercing glare.
* BladeOnAStick: Vasavi Shakti, which is a [[{{BFS}} BFSpear]].
* BornLucky:
** His Luck stat is A+! This is ''really'' ironic because Karna was really screwed over by the universe in his past life, and was originally conceptualised as a Lancer class (who traditionally have terrible Luck stats). He also genuinely believes that such a thing as bad luck does not exist, and that the tragedies he suffered in life were just "bad timing."
** [[spoiler:Subverted. Karna requests that his luck be displayed at A+ since he feels ''that lucky'' getting Jinako as his master.]]
* CanonImmigrant: He was originally created for the light novel {{Spinoff}} ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'', where he was a Lancer.
* DeadpanSnarker: All. The. Time. At one point he comments that if Jinako keeps stuffing her face so much with food, dropping her from great heights will do more damage than his Noble Phantasm ever could.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Due to their divine nature, Gilgamesh isn't actually sure if he has his armor and spear in the Gate of Babylon (or rather, he cannot identify their originals because they are divine items "no one has laid eyes upon"), so he asks Karna to give him either his armor, his spear, or his head. Karna replies that since he's given the armor to Jinako and has to use the spear to fight him, Gilgamesh can take his rotten head if he wins.
* DramaPreservingHandicap: He is called a Heroic Spirit that is as powerful as Gilgamesh (and [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha his Lancer counterpart]] seems to live up to that claim), but he is weakened by his connection to Jinako, a subpar Master. While still a formidable boss, he's no longer as unbeatable as his ''Apocrypha'' counterpart is.
* TheDreaded: When people find out his identity, they are guaranteed to be cowed by his fame. It's shown the most when he does a BigDamnHero to the Student Council as Gawain is ganged up by Meltryllis and Passionlip in ''Fox Tail'' - the Student Council is the one who crapped their pants despite Karna being on their side.
* EyeBeams: Brahmastra, a projectile Noble Phantasm that changes its shape depends on his class. As a Lancer, it manifests as his signature DeathGlare given offensive power. [[labelnote:Trivia]]In his original ''Apocrypha'' design, Brahmastra was the spear that he used before Vasavi Shakti was materialized, but when the actual work rolled around his first spear was changed to a sealed form of Vasavi Shakti while Brahmastra became his EyeBeams just like in ''CCC.''[[/labelnote]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he reveals that he had given his armor of invincibility to his Master without her knowledge earlier. This allows her to survive the "reset" of the system at the end of the Far Side scenario and safely exit the Moon Cell, which is why she does not show up in the Near Side scenario]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Played with. He is saintly in his thoughts and feelings for others, never holding grudges and is endlessly loyal to his Master. However, due to growing up without a proper parental figure to teach when and when not to say something he suffers from BrutalHonesty. Thus he comes across as someone who needlessly prods others for their flaws when he attempts to give honest advice through his Discernment of the Poor skill, particularly involving Jinako's irresponsibility and poor physical condition.
* MeaningfulRename: His "Launcher" nickname isn't entirely from Jinako's kookiness - it fits him more than "Lancer" does within this summoning, since the aforementioned DramaPreservingHandicap means that even materializing his spear is a lot of mana. As a result, he has to resort to his fists for basic attacks, and his Brahmastra EyeBeams are his most reliable Noble Phantasm at his current level (hence, Launcher).
* MommasBoy: Not that you would expect it from her treatment of him, but he is overjoyed by the fact that she called him son just once when they finally meet again face-to-face.
* NoFlowInCGI: As the game engine would have a hard time rendering his flowing cape, the character designer changed it to a set of metal spikes with the same feel.
* NoSocialSkills: Everything that comes out of his mouth sounds like a cold insult or a sly remark, but it's actually him simply observing and critiquing what he sees without any malice since he grew up ostracized by everyone due to his low social status, meaning he couldn't talk to ''anyone'' without getting insulted or teased and thus relied entirely on body language and what he could read to understand people.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Jinako, though he prefers to be seen as the younger brother.
* SlapOnTheWristNuke: A subdued example. Brahmastra Kundala ''hurts'', but much like Gawain's Excalibur Galatine it's entirely possible to survive it. In the latter case, it's an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm and a sublime existence on par with Arthur's Excalibur. In the former, it's a ''God-Level Anti-Country Noble-Phantasm'' declared to be the Noble Phantasm equivalent to a ''nuke'', not to mention the fact that its Apocrypha counterpart would have killed Ruler despite her damage immunity. Somewhat justified by his subpar Master, but still...
* TheStoic: He comes across as this because he believes that most things and events are "normal" and how they were meant to be, therefore there is no reason to be surprised. This trait even allowed him to accept his own death without a hint of resentment, even though [[TraumaCongaLine he really had every right to be]].
* TragicHero: The world worked ''really'' hard to screw him over throughout his entire life.
* TraumaCongaLine: Okay, born to the Sun God, sounds great right? Problem is, he's born into the peasant class, which in India means he's treated worse than garbage by the upper classes. Then his mom abandons him after he catches the fancy of the local King. Being a demigod, his skin and hair were a pale white and everything else was covered by a strange black substance, which along with his harsh statements and [[PerpetualFrowner cruel countenance]] only further ostracized him from his peers.
* WellDoneSonGuy: He single-handedly started a war after his foster father (who only adopted him out of greed) was insulted by the five Pendava brothers.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Averted. Despite his stoic exterior and tendency for BrutalHonesty, Karna is an almost ''pathetically'' nice guy who helped anyone who asked for it in life. The problem was that he spent most of his childhood as an outcast who was thrown away ''by his own mother'' and thus lacked the training necessary to properly express emotions.
* WorthyOpponent: Though he isn't exactly disrespectful of his other opponents, he holds Gilgamesh in relatively high regard, and for once Gilgamesh seems to return the sentiment.

[[folder:Lancer (Elizabeth Báthory)]]
!!!Master: Varies[[note]]Has been shown as Rani, Rin, Shinji, Meltryllis, and the PC's Servant.[[/note]] | Voiced by Creator/RumiOokubo
[[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_ccclancer_4797.png]]

A new Servant in the "Far Side" scenario of ''CCC''. She has the horns and tail of a dragon, and refers to herself as an "Idol" class Servant. Though initially summoned as the Lancer-class Servant of Rin Tousaka, she is later re-summoned by Shinji as a Berserker.

Her true identity is UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory, an infamous Hungarian serial killer who was said [[BloodBath to bathe in the blood of her victims]] as a means of preserving her beauty.

Her Noble Phantasm is Kilenc Sárkány: Roar Of The Dragon, the voice of the dragon Sárkány, who was said to be able to invoke rain and wind with his cry. When used by Lancer, it amplifies her voice to such a degree that it destroys both the body and mind of its victim. She later upgrades this Noble Phantasm to Báthory Erzsébet: Fresh Blood Demoness, the castle where Elizabeth reigned during her lifetime and tortured hundreds of young girls to death. After Elizabeth became a Servant and began to dream of becoming the ultimate IdolSinger, it was remodeled into a massive stage that channels the foul magic gained from the ceremonial slaughter into its amplifiers, increasing the power of Kilenc Sárkány.
-----
* AlasPoorVillain: Even if she's not really sympathetic, she goes out [[spoiler:begging for anything but imprisonment, even a dirty, ignoble death. She still doesn't really understand why she's being punished, either.]]
* AmbiguousInnocence: She's like a little girl who dreams of happy fantasy romance, but she's also an insane butcher because she doesn't truly understand the pain of others at all. For her, being a noble means the people exist for her benefit and she can do whatever she pleases to them. To do anything else would be failing her duty!
* AntiVillain: Played with. During her third appearance she's built up as someone that might be sympathetic, but in the end she really isn't. No matter how innocent and cute she may appear, she's still an unrepentant, narcissistic mass murderer. Whatever mental illnesses she may have had, whatever the effect her dragon blood may have had on her, she still chose to torture young girls to death just to stay young and beautiful.
* AttentionWhore: Her obsession with idol life is because of this. [[spoiler:After being outed as the serial killer bathed in her victims' blood, Bathory was house-arrested in her castle. Her windows were sealed because she was always wailing non-stop for attention of her wardens and she died of loneliness.]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes: She's a ditzy idiot, but she's actually pretty potent under the right circumstances.
* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon of choice, which she also rides like a broom.
* BloodBath: [[spoiler:The source of her powers]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Because of the combination of her upbringing and mental illness, she honestly doesn’t see her actions as wrong. [[spoiler:As a noble, the lives of the peasants that she tortured and whose blood she drained for her baths meant nothing as peasants were considered nothing more than cattle for her to slaughter]].
* BodyguardBetrayal: [[spoiler:She killed her original Master, Lil' Ronnie, when she though Ronnie was unsightly and allied herself with BB because she's more beautiful. She changes Masters the most because she doesn't stop the threat when someone tries to assassinate her Masters.]]
* BoxedCrook: [[spoiler:When the protagonist dives into the root of his/her Servants’ Origin, Elizabeth is given to them as their Servant to conquer the Servant’s Zero Model and gaining the Servant’s Origin in exchange of her freedom from her Ice Maze prison]].
%%* CuteWitch
* DisappearsIntoLight: [[spoiler:Subverted; from her dialogue, it seems she believes she will return to the Imaginary Number Space after aiding the Origin Servant activation, Rin says she just goes back to stasis in her Ice Maze prison. In short, she's not really gone like other Servants in general after they fulfill their purpose]].
* DreadfulMusician: Her songs are hilariously off-beat and off-key, sounding almost like she can't decide if it's a song or a poetry. Not that her Noble Phantasm needs her to be an expert in singing; as long as her voice is loud enough, her voice can be weaponized.
%%* EnigmaticMinion
* GuestStarPartyMember: [[spoiler:In order to defeat the Origins of each Servant and unlock each Servants' full potential.]]
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Her singing is hard to stand because even though her voice is beautiful and her lung power extraordinary, she's tone deaf and has no artistic sense at all.
* HornedHumanoid: Due to her "Innocent Monster" skill (which transforms the physical appearance of a Servant based on the conception others had of them in real life). Her horns and tail are meant to invoke the image of a dragon.
* IdolSinger: She introduces herself as an "Idol" class Servant. She's... not very good at it.
* LethalChef: Her appetizer alone is enough to cause a literal BSOD.
-->'''Sakura''': “I-It can’t be! Vital signs are dropping at an unbelievable rate! Mach down!\\
'''Rani''': “It does not appear that there was any poison included. This dish makes a double attack on the taste buds and the soul by its disagreeable flavor alone.”
* LittleBitBeastly: While at first one might think she looks like a [[HornyDevils Horny Devil]], her horns and tail are actually those of a dragon.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Of all Servants, she might be the most magical girl-like. With her humorous skill animations like her spear throw leaving a trail of hearts, jamming her spear too deep that she has difficulty of pulling it out, her Noble Phantasm is a giant loudspeaker, and her idle animation has her dancing in place.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Her Dragon's Breath skill as she uses her dragon lungs to power up her screams.
* MoralEventHorizon: InUniverse, [[spoiler:during her final Punishment it's stated that she can never be saved or forgiven for what she's done, even if she didn't fully understand what she was doing at the time. At her deepest core, she knows this as well. It's played with, however, because this is the moment where she finally admits to herself that she was the one to blame for her own fate, meaning there's a possibility for her to change after that]].
* MythicalMotifs: Dragons. [[spoiler:In life her family crest had a dragon on it and there were rumors that she had dragon's blood]].
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: Fought the most out of any character in the game yet keeps changing Masters. [[spoiler:She made pact with BB to be her personal PsychoForHire to defend her Labyrinth as long as she makes her immortal, namely keeps spitting her back out of the imaginary number space every time she dies]].
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Her horns and tail are actually those of a dragon. She also has the Dragon's Breath skill. [[spoiler:This is the result of the "Innocent Monster" skill, which transforms her physical appearance based on the conception that others had seen of her in real life. Elizabeth Báthory was often rumoured to have mixed her own blood with that of a dragon, and her family crest also bore the mark of a dragon]].
* PantyShot: When she attacks, when she uses some of her skills, and twice per use of her Noble Phantasm.
%%* PointyEars
* ThePowerOfBlood: [[spoiler:She requires gallons of blood daily in order to bathe in it. It's also how she can increase her power.]]
%%* RecurringBoss
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The English localization of ''Fate/Grand Order'' spells her name as "Elisabeth Báthory" rather than using Elizabeth Báthory.
* SuperpowerLottery: Flight, powerful skills, a devastating Noble Phantasm, and oodles of bonus buffs from being one of the most infamous villains in history, her mediocre stats and flightiness are the only things holding her back.
%%* TailSlap
* TooKinkyToTorture: She possesses the Berserker skill Mad Enhancement, but the rank is so low (E-) that it doesn't increase her stats or affect her intelligence... all it really does is invoke this trope.
* TortureTechnician: Has a "Torturing Method" skill ranked A. [[spoiler:We see first hand that she has both Rin and Rani to gather [=NPCs=] and Masters alike for her blood bath in their respective floors, which also incites the suspicion that Rin and Rani are [[NotHimself Not Themselves]]]].
* {{Tsundere}}: Her like in [[WordOfGod the artbook]] is the Protagonist, but the way the entry is written is very stereotypical tsundere; it starts with a very long VisibleSilence, before finally admitting that it was [[EmbarrassingNickname the Pig]] that she likes. Even then, the entry ends with question mark, almost that she's not sure herself.
* VainSorceress: While not a Caster, she’s close enough with her constant fear for her beauty. It seems the reason why she fears romance is because marriage through love equals getting pregnant equals having bloated stomach, which is a big no-no for her.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She's claustrophobic because she died in house arrest. Her wardens became so annoyed at her wailing, they sealed off her windows and only left a small slit to push her food in. [[spoiler:When the protagonist gains her SG and the MissionControl traps her inside a cage of [=IceWall=], she loses any shred of her arrogance and screams for mercy the entire time]].

[[folder:Caster (Hans Christian Andersen)]]
!!!Master: Kiara Sesshouin | Voiced by Creator/TakehitoKoyasu
[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_enemycasterccc_5155.png]]

A new Servant introduced in ''CCC''. Though he bears the appearance of a young boy, he has the voice of an older gentleman.

His true identity is Creator/HansChristianAndersen, the famous Danish writer who among other things wrote The Little Mermaid, The Emperor´s New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling.

His Noble Phantasm is Märchen Meines Lebens: A Story Just For You, which allows Caster to transform someone, body and soul, [[OneWingedAngel into their "ideal self"]]. However, the target must incite the lust of a writer within Caster for the Noble Phantasm to work, and his "Author's Spirit" typically doesn't allow someone to reach their true "ideal self" if their narrative/CharacterDevelopment is incomplete.

-----
* BeleagueredAssistant: Despite his UndyingLoyalty, Caster does not like how Kiara acts and insults her every chance he gets. [[spoiler:He even warns the protagonist when she's going to use her Noble Phantasm during the boss fight]].
* BodyHorror: Thanks to the Innocent Monster skill he has no control over his physical form. Being a famous author has inflicted this upon him. Underneath his clothes are a merman's scales, frostbite, burns, and sharp pains that cut his throat when he speaks.
* BrutalHonesty: His Rank-A Human Observation skill makes him understand the flaws of others and leads him to make assumptions about the person. He then rudely states their flaws and errors. Although pessimistic, he does this because he [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold understands that person]], not out of malice.
* CassandraTruth: He repeatedly calls Kiara the worst kind of selfish hypocritical scum, but nobody pays any attention to him.
* CripplingOverspecialization: His magic rank is EX, but all his other stats are ranked E.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DeadpanSnarker: And if you have Caster as Servant, they have a short SnarkToSnarkCombat that quickly evolves into an [[NotSoDifferent epiphany]] of just why they're bitter to each other.
* {{Deconstruction}}: It seems to his hobby. If asked about Lancer [[spoiler:Elizabeth]], he calls her "unsightly" because if she thinks that other people are nothing but pigs, then she's a foolish woman for being narcissist in front of a bunch of "pigs". He isn't exempt from his own sharp tongue, calling himself a useless Servant for having all his parameters E and prone to SelfDeprecation when he looks back to the time when he was alive.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Kiara, the true mastermind of CCC]].
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:In his final words to Kiara, he states that he is incapable of loving a human. He also states that he no longer sees Kiara as human, which can be taken in various ways]].
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Lets everyone escape and doesn't bother to fight them after they defeat Kiara, happy with how the story had played out]].
* InnocentBlueEyes: He's lacking in the innocent department due to his cynical mindset, but his childish form ''does'' give him the sensitivity and empathy he lacked later in life, leading to his own embarrassment upon rereading his own children's stories.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Hans should, by all means, be absolutely horrible as a servant - except for his Noble Phantasm, which (if used correctly) can be one of the strongest Noble Phantasms in the franchise. [[spoiler:Kiara uses it to become a ''demi-god'', and that's even with Hans holding back]]!
* LoveHurts: Had his heart broken throughout his life, [[spoiler:yet he still believes in love]].
* TheMedic: Specializes in healing and support magic.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler:His reason for following Kiara is that a servant follows their master, so he will follow her to hell itself. While seemingly merely out of duty, his final words to her imply that he did care for her in his own way]].
* NonActionGuy: He ends up simply buffing Kiara and letting her fight most of the time since the majority of his stats are absolutely atrocious.
* NotSoDifferent: In contrast with other characters, he doesn't actually criticize playable Caster's personality; he's just saying that her ears are tacky. When she gets offended anyway because of the unintentional [[FantasticRacism racism]], he quickly backtracks and says they're not that bad. When it's still not convincing his audience because he's acting out-of-character for avoiding deconstruction of his target, he instead talks about his past. The monologue hits Caster too close to home.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Thanks to the Innocent Monster skill, he's been summoned in the form of a young boy instead of as the adult he obviously became. He still has the voice of an adult man, however.
* PunchClockVillain: [[spoiler:He only helps Kiara since she's his master, but for the most part he doesn't really care about her goals. He even saves the Protagonist from Meltryllis in the normal story mode after Kiara is killed and he's about to meet the same fate.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:His Noble Phantasm ''Märchen Meines Lebens: A Story Just For You'' can be used to make one into their ideal self, but they must also incite lust in Andersen. His lust as an author for CharacterDevelopment within the story, to be precise. The reason why Kiara isn't her "ideal self" in her boss fight is because she didn't go through said development, thus his buffs only go so far. Even ''then'' they were enough to raise Kiara to the level of an Earth Goddess, with the ability to make herself the size of a planet]]!
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Gives one to Kiara after she loses, telling her that her inability to realize her own flaws and that she should know she stood no chance against the Protagonist is the reason for her defeat]].
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler:Never fights in battles directly. Instead it's his master that is fought]].
* VocalDissonance: Despite his young appearance, he has a voice of an older gentleman. This represents [[spoiler:his childish mind capable of the fairy tales he wrote, but that he was still an adult]].

!!''CCC'' Fox Tail Characters

[[folder:Kingprotea]]

A giant bandaged girl whose face resembles that of BB.

Her true nature is that of an "Alter Ego", a "High Servant" created by BB after she accessed the records of the Moon Cell. Unlike other Alter Egos, she herself created from the essence of the Earth Mother Goddess.

-----
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: She's taller than a school building.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[spoiler:Dark Sakura]], specifically, if her bandages is taken as metaphor for [[spoiler:the original Sakura's torment through out the years]].
* FloralThemeNaming: Named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protea_cynaroides Protea Cynaroides]], or king protea.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:She returns to save Hakuno from Kazuradrop, but ultimately ends up falling victim to Trash and Crash at Kazuradrop's hands, the latter having consumed Passionlip to get it]].
* InLoveWithLove: She's obsessed with the idea of love, but she doesn't really understand what it is.
* MeaningfulName: Her name is taken from the ''Protea Cynaroides'', the largest flower of its Genus. Fittingly, as she is the largest of all Sakuras.
* TokenGoodTeammate: She's the nicest Alter Ego met so far, she saved Hakuno because she wanted to hear what he had to say, and quickly saw the error of her ways after their conversation.
* TokenMiniMoe: [[spoiler:Her inner self looks as young if not younger than Kazuradrop]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Violet]]

A glasses-wearing girl whose face resembles that of BB.

Her true nature is that of an "Alter Ego", a "High Servant" created by BB after she accessed the records of the Moon Cell. She is a composite of three Servants: Medusa, Apsara, and Melusine.

-----
* TheAssimilator: Combining her Riding skill with her Transformation skill, she can assimilate anything to be her ride.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: She gains Medusa's square pupils when using her id_ese skill.
* {{Expy}}: Of Rider Medusa. In fact Medusa is one of the Servants used to create her, and she appears near identical to her before revealing her true form.
* FloralThemeNaming: She is named after the Violet flower.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After losing to Caster and being told off for just blindly following orders, she helps Gawain and Leo with Shinji in protecting Hakuno from Kazuradrop]].
* HeightAngst: Based on her reaction to Shinji's line about her height, she's also sensitive about it like Medusa was.
* KickChick: She has a tendency to use kicks because her arms turn into whips when fighting.
* MissFanservice: She's the only one of the Sakura five that looks like an adult, has a huge bust that she constantly shows off and even looks like Medusa who was ''the'' MissFanservice of VisualNovel/FateStayNight.
* MythologyGag: Her teaming up with Shinji is one to VisualNovel/FateStayNight where one of her base Servants was his Servant. Her tendency to mock him is a reference that Medusa really disliked Shinji.
* NotSoStoic: She tries to come off as serious but deep down she's sad that she looks like an adult thus can't be cute. She even changing her hair to pigtails to get a reaction out of Hakuno.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: Her outfit doesn't even have a back, only barely covering her butt.
* TheStoic: She keeps a still face no matter the situation.
* StrongButUnskilled: As one of the Sakura Five, she's much stronger than any regular Servant but she's lacking fighting experience and mix that with her straightforward personality, Caster can easily predict her actions.
* TimeStandsStill: Her id_ese skill "Crack Ice" freezes time in the area she sees.
* WhipItGood: She transforms her arms into whips with metal blades at the end.

[[folder:Kazuradrop]]

A young girl whose face resembles that of BB.

Her true nature is that of an "Alter Ego", a "High Servant" created by BB after she accessed the records of the Moon Cell. It is currently unknown which goddesses she is composed of.

-----

* AntagonisticOffspring: [[spoiler:She considers BB her mother and is currently trying to eat BB and kill the person she loves most.]]
* BerserkButton: Bugs and imperfections.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Turns out she's the real main villain of the Fox Tail manga who stole most of B.B.'s power]].
* BodyMotifs: Her mouth and tongue get a lot of focus. [[spoiler:It ties into her Insect Eater skill and Pitcher Plant motif.]]
* CannibalismSuperpower: [[spoiler:Her Insect Eater skill lets her use the powers of any Sakura she consumes]].
* {{Expy}}: Of young Sakura. [[spoiler:But once we meet her, her personality is closer to Dark Sakura and she's shown similar powers]].
* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She's an adorable TokenMiniMoe free from the fan service of her family that's currently [[spoiler:attempting to wipe out all of humanity when not indulging in her torturing hobby.]]
* FanDisservice: While there is really nothing wrong with Kazuradrop's appearance or abilities, her id_eses skill names "Hatred of the Brethren" and "Insect Eater" are this when you remember [[spoiler:the original Sakura's experience with worms and resentment toward Rin]].
* FloralThemeNaming: She appears to be named after the Arrowroot (Kazura) flower. [[spoiler:She's actually named after the Pitcher Plant (''Utsubo-Kazura'')]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:As "BB", she demonstrates a private field called the "Bug Space" wherein her captives are aptly reduced in size and virtually helpless. This at first seems like the typical BB sadism, but ends up having been a landslide hint to who she really was]].
* InformedAttribute: The Alter Ego of Kindness is probably the cruelest of them all.
* IrrationalHatred: [[spoiler:She LOATHES Hakuno because due to him, Sakura became flawed which lead to the creation of BB and the Alter Egos. While she is happy to be alive, she's not at all happy to be born because of an error]].
* JustEatHim: [[spoiler:"Insect Eater", a skill devised for cleansing system bugs, ends up being utilized instead as the ability to consume others, but only can be used to full effect on Sakura AIs ''specifically'']]. [[note]]She can only wholly integrate the being and skills of Sakura or those derived from her. Anyone else doesn't give her anything.[[/note]]
* MeaningfulName: She is, by origin, a virus-cleansing program, [[spoiler:named for the pitcher plant -- in other words, for "bugs" in the system to be dropped into and erased. Following her whiplash FaceHeelTurn, this is re-purposed for [[JustEatHim her entire new ''modus operandi'']]]].
* NotSoDifferent: To Hakuno. [[spoiler:They're both AI that popped into existence one day with a following a goal they don't fully understand. This triggers her Repulsion For One's Kin skill, causing her to absolutely loathe him.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Her goal is the extinction of humanity]].
* ThePerfectionist: A big part of her personality is her desire to be perfect. [[spoiler:She hates how BB and the other Alter Egos are error prone due to their love of Hakuno and hates that she's an Alter Ego of those flawed AI]].
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: [[spoiler: After eating Kingprotea she ends up looking like a teenager in comparason to her previous child form.]]
* RightUnderTheirNoses: [[spoiler:She was pretending to be normal Sakura since the start of the manga]].
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Betrays and absorbs seven-eighths of BB's powers before the start of the manga]].
* ThouShallNotKill: Her origin of Kindness prevents her from killing Masters. [[spoiler:She's trying to overcome this.]]
* TokenMiniMoe: The one with the youngest appearance of the Sakura Five.
* TooMuchAlike: Her id_es Repulsion For One's Kin causes her to hate her fellow AI or anyone who reminds her too much of herself.
* WalkingSpoiler: Virtually her entire existence in Fox Tail is a game-changer, if all the above hadn't made it apparent.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Kazuhito Sakagami]]

A Master working for BB, he and Saber are constantly opposing Hakuno and Caster in Fox Tail.

-----
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Downplayed. [[spoiler:Kazuradrop did brainwash him but his general personality seems to be intact, only that he's more open to work with Kazuradrop]].
* GrumpyBear: He is extremely cynical and refuses to work together with Hakuno, and does not tolerate his Saber's goofy antics. When the factions call a truce to [[HotSpringsEpisode go to a hot spring together]], he refuses to talk to anyone. When Saber asks if he had fun, he says that's stupid, it's just a bath.
* MarshmallowHell: Suzaka ends up inflicting this on him when she ends up falling on him during the group's trip to the hotsprings and her plans to peep on him ends up with her slipping off a cliff.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:His reaction when he used a command seal to force Suzuka to use her final Noble Phantasm when she was losing against Minamoto-No-Raikou after he saw Raikou's master decided to respect her servant's wishes. This feeling intensified when Suzuka collapsed due to her power overwhelming her servant container.]]
* NotSoDifferent: A hilarious moment happens when Saber first meets Caster and they go on a massive argument about love and who is the better couple with their respective master. Kazuhito and Hakuno share an empty stare as they mentally communicate the other knows their suffering.
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:He accidentally murdered his parents when his attempt to use magecraft after getting the family crest backfired]].
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: In regards to Saber.
--> '''Kazuhito:''' ''I don't remember becoming your boyfriend.''
* StraightMan: To Saber's assorted shenanigans.

[[folder:Saber (Suzuka Gozen)]]
!!!Master: Kazuhito Sakagami |

Kazuhito's Servant, a Japanese Saber who is head over heels for her Master.

-----
* AffectionateNickname: She calls her master Kazu-kun; he doesn't like it at all.
* BackFromTheDead: Her myth has her dying at the age of 26 and Tamuramaro traveling to the underworld and reviving her.
* BoringButPractical: ''Shoutouren'', which Saber admits isn't that flashy at all but the increase to her intelligence makes her a much more efficient and deadly fighter, as Caster found out.
* TheDitz: She's quite the airhead, with Caster saying her swordsmanship is more her flailing around than a martial art.
* DumbassNoMore: Her second Noble Phantasm, ''Shoutouren'', greatly increases her intelligence. She even states that as a result of this Noble Phantasm, she can [[MouthfulOfPi recite every digit of Pi]].
* {{Foil}}: To her rival Caster despite being incredibly similar, they oppose each other due to that similarity and have inverted myths. [[spoiler:Caster or Tamamo-no-Mae was the mortal avatar of the goddess Amaterasu but became a demon that slaughtered hundreds of people as she was killed because they rejected her. Saber or Suzuka Gozen was a demon princess that travelled to Japan to conquer it but fell in love with the hero, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, and instead helped him kill evil demons and had a happy ending with Tamuramaro. Their main reason for fighting is to protect their Masters who just so happen to be on the opposite sides]].
* FlyingWeapon: In battle, she wields one katana in her hands and two others with her mind.
* GoingCommando: She has this in common with Rani and appears equally nonchalant about accidental flashing.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: When she realizes [[HopelessSuitor Kazuhito will never be hers]], she gives up on her dream of being together forever in favor of his decision to move foward. [[spoiler:...Or she did until she learned Caster helped him reach that ephiphany and became '''livid'''. Truth is, accepting his choice was about ''her'', not him, and learning that someone else interfered with what was supposed to be ''her'' big moment with Kazuhito is unacceptable, even if it is for his benefit.]]
* LittleBitBeastly: She also has fox ears and a tail, but (unlike Caster's) they're not genuine.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Like Caster, she has a tendency to fall in love very easily. She says she fell in love with Kazuhito at first sight and part of her myth is she fell in love with Sakanoue no Tamuramaro at first sight as well.
* MindOverMatter: One of her skills is to levitate items she has on her body.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Based on her myth and her current actions, Saber doesn't really have any set morals and only does things that will make her master/boyfriend happy or let her spend more time with them. Under the hero, Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, Suzuka was a heroic figure, [[spoiler:thus why she's siding with Kazuradrop despite seeing her brainwash Kazuhito as it lets her spend more time with him]].
* NotSoDifferent: To Caster. Both are obsessed over their Masters and have a strong obsession with love.
* OddFriendship: She and Rani became friends because they both [[GoingCommando don't wear underwear]].
* TheRival: To Caster.
* {{Seer}}: [[spoiler:Her final and most powerful Noble Phantasm, ''Sanzendaisensekai'' gives her clairvoyance that Suzuka states has been compared to omniscience. She states it allows her to see all worlds past, present and future. During her fight with Minamoto-No-Raikou, Suzuka used it to look in Kazuhito's past to tell him that his father was actually proud of him.]]
* {{Shapeshifting}}: She used it to copy Caster's animal features, under the assumption Kazu liked it.
* StormOfBlades: As one of her Noble Phantasms, her first sword Daitouren.
* TooMuchAlike: Caster and Saber are honestly nearly identical in their ideals of love but it only causes more strife between them.
* WillfullyWeak: [[spoiler:Using her final Noble Phantasm, ''Sanzendaisensekai'' forces Suzuka into her original form as the daughter of a heavenly demon king which gives her clairvoyance to the point of omniscience, allowing her to defeat even Minamoto-No-Raikou. But it also ups her divinity past the limits of a servant container thus heavily damaging her. Caster even states if she uses her final Noble Phantasm too much it could destroy her.]]

[[folder:Golden White Face -- SPOILERS]]
The evil [[{{Kitsune}} nine-tailed fox]] who is Tamamo-no-Mae's original self. In truth, she is actually Amaterasu, the solar goddess of Shintoism.
----
* AxCrazy: She is the source of her Servant incarnation's ClingyJealousGirl issues -- as well as Tamamo's general reputation as having been an evil monster -- and is gleefully bloodthirsty when interacting with Hakuno.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: She only appears as a massive version of Tamamo because she interacts with Hakuno in their dreams, and otherwise would manifest as a miniature sun.
* FutureMeScaresMe: Amaterasu finds her one-tailed future self so utterly pathetic that she expresses the desire to reach through space-time and smite her after she's through eating Caster's beloved Master. The feeling is mutual, as Caster is disdainful towards her past self and went out of her way to avoid becoming her again even if she were to regain her full power.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: In Japanese myths, Amaterasu is portrayed as being GodOfGood, with only negative things her doing are in response of her brothers' actions. In Fate, her association with Tamamo turns her into someone who can potentially become an Evil of Humanity.
* HumanoidAbomination: As a Divine Spirit and a Beast-class entity, Amaterasu is an existence beyond what even Servants are capable of reckoning with, to say nothing of mere mortals. When appearing before Haruko in ''CCC''[='=]s "Caster's Secret Garden", she takes the form of a giant woman with fox-ears and nine fiery tails.
* {{Kitsune}}: Although she's not ''actually'' a fox-spirit -- being a Divine Spirit instead -- Amaterasu nevertheless appears as a colossal woman with fox ears and nine fiery tails.
* PhysicalGod: Golden White Face (Konjiki Hakumen in Japanese) -- the evil nine-tailed {{kitsune}}-goddess who is Caster Tamamo's original self -- turns out to be the celestial emptess of Shintoism, Amaterasu.
* TimeAbyss: She is as old as the Sun itself, and thus witnessed the battle between Velber 02 and the Hero who first wielded Excalibur.
* {{Yandere}}: Caster refers to Amaterasu as having been one, and the source of her present ClingyJealousGirl tendencies.
