Playable Servants

Saber

Identity: Nero Claudius | Voiced by: Sakura Tange (Japanese), Cassandra Lee Morris (English, Anime), Alicia Vélez (Latin American Spanish, Anime)

One of three Servants available to the Protagonist. Saber bears a physical resemblance to the Saber of Fate/stay night; 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.

---

• Accent Adaptation: Averted; Saber speaks with an accent common to Japanese nobles during Imperial Japan, however, her dialogue is translated into normal English.
• Aggressive Submissive: She's a confident love interest and a proud former harem master, but she becomes meek as a kitten when the protagonist nearly beds her in her second SG. She's none too thrilled when they point that out, blaming it on a headache.

• Antiquated Linguistics: Speaks in an old-fashioned manner, and uses the masculine and archaic "yo" to refer to herself.
• Attention Whore: Absolutely adores it. She just wants to be loved by everyone like she loves everyone else. There is a reason her nickname is "The Whore of Babylon".
• Barely-There Swimwear: An unlockable outfit in CCC.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: 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.
• But Not Too Bi: 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!"
• Call-Back: She said she wouldn't mind if she was called "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.
• Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest: 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.
• Chained by Fashion: Her CCC "Virgin Bride" costume has chains around her neck and wrist.
• Chaotic Good: In-Universe alignment. You'd probably expect an emperor to have a more lawful alignment, but it seems not.

• Cleavage Window: Both on her chest and on her rear.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: In the manga adaptation, when Rani accidentally reveals she is Going Commando (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.
• Cool Sword: Aestus Estus: The Embryonic Flame. It's easily bigger than both protagonists.
• Crazy Enough to Work: 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 summoning her Golden Theatre in the manner of a Reality Marble, granting herself Divinity, and even summoning the Beast from the Book of Revelation as a riding mount due to her moniker as the "Whore of Babylon".
• Deus ex Machina: 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.
• Digging Yourself Deeper: 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.
• Driven to Suicide: 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.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: 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.
• Dump Stat: 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.
• The Emperor: 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.
• Evil Matriarch: Her mother was this in her backstory.
• Expy: A blonde woman based on a male historical ruler, this Saber is based on Fate/stay night's Saber, to whom she bears some resemblance.
• Friendly Rival: With Lancer Elizabeth because of their similar temperament, hobbies, and utter blindness that they suck at said hobbies.
• Full-Frontal Assault: She was naked when she defeated a lion while alive.

• Giftedly Bad: 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 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...not very good.
• Historical Hero Upgrade: 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. Truth in Television as the real-life Nero was well-liked by his subjects, and some historians believe that the many accounts written about him may have been heavily exaggerated for propaganda purposes.
• Historical Gender Flip: Her true identity is Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 5th Emperor of the Roman Empire.
• Historical Villain Upgrade: 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 In-Universe example.
• Hot-Blooded: 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!"
• Idiot Hair: As per Saberface tradition.
• In-Series Nickname: "The Whore of Babylon" is a figure in The Book of Revelation. Many scholars attribute it to Rome under the reign of Emperor Nero; since Christianity was persecuted. This was downgraded to "discouraged religion" in the Nasuverse, but since Nero's a woman here, it now refers to her.
• Instant Expert: 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.
• Interrupted Intimacy: Her second Secret Garden event. You can thank Rin's phone call for that.
• Image Song: "GRAND"
• It's All About Me: Though she does care about your well-being and can be pretty compassionate. Otherwise, she almost rivals Gilgamesh.

• Large Ham: 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."
• Leotard of Power: While at first her outfit looks as though she's giving the audience a perpetual Panty Shot, it's not actually her panties we're seeing, but a leotard◊ that she wears under her dress.
• Lightning Bruiser: 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.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: 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.
• The Napoleon: She dislikes being reminded of her height, especially if called little or petite.
• Navel-Deep Neckline: In Saber CCC promotion artwork along with BB and CCC Type-Moon Virgin White Box. Her Bride outfit is sometime unzipped past her navel.
• Nice Girl: Boastfulness aside she always shows respect to her master and even comforts them when Shinji dies
• Overly Long Name: Her full name, Nero Claudius Augustus Caesar Germanicus.

• 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.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: 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.
• Sarcasm-Blind: 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.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: Unlike Fate/stay night'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 lampshades this in Carnival Phantasm:
  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!
• Something about a Rose: 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 Cleavage Window and part of her skirt is transparent, showing her Leotard of Power (which many players initially thought was a Panty Shot).
  • It is, however, rather revealing from the back, making this almost a case of Sexy Backless Outfit - 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.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: Saber will not be giddy over your coming through for her in week five, not at all.
• Tsundere: Downplayed; Saber is very open about her affection towards the protagonist, though there are a few times when she becomes a bashful tsun if someone presses her about it.
• Unreliable Narrator: Her Matrix talks about Nero being the "Whore of Babylon", concluding that all that is just propaganda against Rome as a whole and doesn't reflect Saber as an individual. However, many works after the original Extra bring attention to Saber having been unnatural even when she was alive and multiple details about her lean heavily on her possibly being the Whore of Babylon, meaning that either her Matrix is lying or people's believe about her has slowly influenced her over time.
• Verbal Tic: Umu, an archaic variant of "yes" used mostly exclusively by royalty. This trait is shared with royalty Servants like Rama, Iskandar and Ozymandias, but Memetic Mutation 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".
• Walking Swimsuit Scene: 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, you can unlock a skimpy red swimsuit for her to wear.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: 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 Informed Attribute, since despite 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 despite being a self-admitted harem enthusiast.

Archer (Nameless)

Identity: EMIYA | Voiced by: Jun'ichi Suwabe (Japanese), Kaiji Tang (English, Anime), Joaquín López (Latin American Spanish, Anime)

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 from a different Holy Grail War.

---

• Abnormal Ammo: His bow shoots various Oddly Shaped Swords as arrows.
• Alternate Self: He is an alternate version of Archer from Fate/stay night. Unlike Counter Guardian EMIYA, this version of Shirou never made a deal with Alaya, though his path of being a "Hero of Justice" ended up being just as bloody as Kiritsugu's. Also unlike EMIYA, he doesn't regret his past in the least and long since made peace with it.
• Anti-Hero:
  • Defines himself in this manner, noting that he has 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 Knight Templar 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. In the end, the human court system was what sealed his fate, not a glorious heroic death in battle.
• Beyond the Impossible: 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. Oh, and it's the highest damage skill in the original Extra, which is why "Caladbolg spam" is the main strategy for boss battles.
• Born Unlucky: To him, the Luck stat is the Dump Stat to end all Dump Stats. His life was not a particularly happy one either.
• Bow and Sword in Accord: He uses his bow a lot more than his counterpart does.
• Curtains Match the Window: Has matching silver hair and eyes.
• Digging Yourself Deeper: 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.
• Dual Wielding: Kanshou and Bakuya, just like in Fate/stay night.
• Deadpan Snarker: More so than his stay night counterpart. Not even his own Master is exempt from his snarking.
• Dump Stat: Just like his Fate/stay night counterpart, it's Luck. Magic 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 Optional Boss) if Archer's magic stat is sufficiently high enough.
  • Not only does Archer 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.
• Expy: Likens himself to James Bond due to his comparable life of dangerous adventure and romantic conquests.
• Field of Blades: Unlimited Blade Works.
• Gameplay and Story Segregation: 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.
• Has a Type: He admits he's got a thing for strong-willed women.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Unlike Fate/stay night, the player can learn what exactly motivated him to make his contract to become a Counter Guardian. 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.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: He refuses to acknowledge that his antiheroic actions were actually appreciated by some people and did save lives.

• Hidden Depths: He knows a surprising amount about vampires, which he reveals if you talk to him on the 4th week.
• Jack of All Stats: 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.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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.
• Knight in Sour Armor: 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 Fate/stay night).
• Lighter and Softer: Than his original portrayal in that he found peace in his ideal and fate as a nameless hero and a Counter Guardian thanks to his character development in the story.
• Loss of Identity: 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.
• Mythology Gag: He's one huge repository of these. He compares Shinji and Kotomine to their Fate/stay night counterparts, refers to encountering an invisible sword wielded by "her", and he even compares Alice to Ilya.
• No Shirt, Long Jacket: His CCC new costume is an open red jacket that he wears while shirtless.
• Non-Linear Character: True for all Servants, but Archer's a notable case as his human counterpart is actually still alive during the plot. Rin's met him before, though she doesn't connect the dots, and the protagonist meets him during Archer's ending of CCC.
• Optional Boss: The original Fate/stay night version of him and Rin can be fought as bosses in CCC.
• Principles Zealot: 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.

• Spontaneous Weapon Creation: He projects all of his weapons whenever he needs them.
• Survivor Guilt: 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.
• Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Archer throws Kanshou and Bakuya at the enemy when using the Wing of the Crane Skill, just like in Fate/stay night.
• True Neutral: In-Universe 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.
• Video Game Cruelty Potential: Archer can get hit with this trope hard 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 very much like Rin during his life. Bonus points if you know of this ahead of time and do so on purpose.
• Vigilante Man: What he was in life.

• White Hair, Black Heart: Downplayed — not evil, but an Anti-Hero, and quite sharp-tongued.
• Would Hurt a Child: 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.

Caster

Identity: Tamamo-no-Mae | Voiced by: Chiwa Saitō

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 Yamato Nadeshiko, but occasionally lets slip hints of a more devious and predatory personality.

---

• Adaptational Heroism: Caster is far nicer here than how she is in her original legend. 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, that's what she says, as Tamamo's sometimes psychotic possessiveness and unnerving original self call her interpretation into question.
• Amnesiac God: During her life as a mortal avatar of Amaterasu she was not aware of her true identity.
• Anime Accent Absence: 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 Gratuitous English 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.
• Asian Fox Spirit: Tamamo has the ears and tail of a fox, originally had nine tails, and her true identity is that of 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 technically not actually a kitsune — being an incarnation of the solar goddess Amaterasu, which also makes her far more powerful than a normal fox-spirit — and claims her resemblance to one is purely coincidental.
• The Atoner: Caster was once a bloodthirsty monster who tried to bring Japan to ruin, and though she still has some Cute and Psycho and yandere moments she's trying to redeem herself and atone for her past sins.
• Beneath the Mask: Caster will let slip some 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.
• Broken Bird: Caster has one of the saddest backstories in the entire Nasuverse.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: She's quite the meta girl and refers to the T regulations preventing adult content and her own affection points at times.
• The Cameo: Briefly appears silhouetted in the anime during Twice's flashbacks.
• Cannot Keep a Secret: She's trying to keep her identity hidden, but she drops hints about who she is all the time. The main reason she reveals her name is so that she simply doesn't have to bother hiding it.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Shortly after rescuing either Rin or Rani, Caster begins practicing an apparently Groin Attack-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.
• Covert Pervert: She's actually a very open pervert, but even she has her limits: when the protagonist asks about the strap on her CCC outfit, she's about to explain the style of bondage before bashfully clamming up and playing dumb.
• Cute and Psycho: Gives this vibe off at times, especially when she thinks she's being criticized.
• Dark and Troubled Past: She was the concubine of a Japanese Emperor falsely accused of being a malicious Asian Fox Spirit who'd terrorized China and India centuries ago, was forced to slaughter the Imperial Army in self-defence, and was executed for crimes she hadn't committed... or so she says. Her actions as Twice's Servant, her past self/original form Amaterasu, and statements made in Fate/Grand Order strongly imply that she's seriously in denial and trying to disassociate her current repentant self from her Ax-Crazy past self.
• Deadpan Snarker: 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.
• Dump Stat:
  • 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 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.

• Foreshadowing: A conversation while walking around the Arena on the first week has her saying that she feels nostalgic. The last time she was there was as Twice's Servant.
• Genki Girl: Rivals Saber in this regard as she's constantly upbeat and cheery. At lest until things start getting serious.
• Glass Cannon: 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 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.
• Gold and White Are Divine: Her Origin outfit identical to Amaterasu is this. Her other name taken from her more bestial form is Kojinki-Hakumen (Golden Fur, White Face).
• Gone Horribly Right: 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, 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.
• Gratuitous English: This is taken to the point where Aksys actually translates one of her English lines into Japanese.
• Groin Attack: Her ultimate attack skills in Fate/Extra CCC, deals critical damage against male enemies.
• Hypocrite: Considering her hatred of harems and polygamy she's certainly enthusiastic when it comes time for her to have sex with Rin or Rani to establish a mana link between them
• Hypocritical Humor: 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.
• I Am Who?: 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.
• I Hate Past Me: Caster is deeply ashamed of her past as a villainous monster, to the point of denying she was responsible for the crimes she was executed for, and goes out of her way to try to avoid relapsing into that state — dismissing her original self as a sadistic yandere. 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.
• Image Song: Hana arashi no Ki
• Impossibly-Low Neckline: Her outfit gives you a very generous glimpse at her Cleavage Window.
• Improbable Weapon User: She wields a Magic Mirror in melee.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: 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.
• Kung-Fu Wizard: 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 Fate/stay night's gallery menu BGM (Oh, and said gallery menu is named Extras).
• Literal Split Personality:
  • She originated as a bunrei of Amaterasu, but incarnated as a human out of curiosity and lost her memories of being a deity in the process.
  • She excised the bulk of her power and lost all but one of her nine tails — according to Fate/Grand Order for no other reason than she felt having nine tails made her too heavy. While this made her able to be manifested as a Servant, it also created eight other versions of herself collectively referred to as the Tamamo Nine, each of whom seeks to assimilate the others and return to their original nine-tailed state.
• Little Bit Beastly: She has fox ears and a fox tail. Her full-powered form is a giantess with nine fiery fox-tails.
• Little Miss Almighty: As a facet of Amaterasu, the Japanese Sun goddess, it fits.
• Magic Mirror: Her melee weapon of choice.
• Magikarp Power: 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.
• Marry Them All: In the Fox Tail manga, she says she invented Polygamist Castration Fist to "destroy the harem ending."
• Medium Awareness: Unfortunately, she knows that she is in a game only rated "T".
• Me's a Crowd: Uses the Moon Cell to summon her other 8 Tails as servants so they can save their master in her CCC Servant ending.
• Mistaken Identity: Caster often claims that she's innocent of the crimes she was accused of in-life, insisting that she was mistaken for Daji — an evil nine-tailed fox with golden fur and a white face who'd previously laid waste to China and India — by the onmyōji who exposed her true form to Toba's court. However, she also makes remarks that indicate that she is guilty of those crimes, Amaterasu — Tamamo's original self — is a bloodthirsty sadist, and Tamamo is identified as being Daji by Tamamo Cat (her own Literal Split Personality) and the Chinese Servant Li Shuwen (who fought Daji in ancient China).
• Ms. Fanservice: Her Fate/Extra CCC◊ outfit leaves little doubt to this claim.
• Mythology Gag: Whether she is talking about her E-mail buddy Kiyohime or asking for Aburaage (which is the Bakitsune equivalent of catnip), Caster is full of them.
• Neutral Evil: In-Universe 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.
• Not Quite the Right Thing: In her backstory, she became intrigued with humans since she wasn't quite one herself and decided to try living among them and serving them. However, humans don't want that from the gods. Despite being harmless, she was hunted down when her identity was uncovered — and currently claims to have been mistaken for Daji, an evil nine-tailed fox who'd previously laid waste to China and India — 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.
• Paper Talisman: Her Curse: Skills have her throw one at her enemy.
• Power Limiter:
  • Being summoned as a Legendary Soul actually decreases her power, since as a facet of Amaterasu, her full power would be on par with, if not greater than the Big Three of the 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 Handwaves as a result of being summoned in the Caster class, universally considered the weakest of the seven Servant classes. 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.
• Power Perversion Potential: 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 implied that her shape shifting skills can also be used to make her breast's bigger but she isn't willing to do it.
• Professional Butt-Kisser: As a Servant, she changes her temperament to suit her current Master. Her actual personality is more in line with a nagging, stingy housewife.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Caster plays this role with Saber in the Omake that show up in the Type-Moon Ace magazine.
• Retired Monster: As revealed in Tamamo's third Secret Garden, 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. Additionally, she mentions not really feeling guilty about those thousands of people she killed (though she somewhat regrets the events for reasons unrelated to morality) and can be extremely selfish and ruthless at times. It's implied she is holding back her monstrous side not so much out of guilt towards humans but because it would get in the way of her dream of a perfect romance, making Master her Morality Chain.
• Rose-Haired Sweetie: The protagonists even lampshade this when they realize they could have guessed her personality from her hair.
• Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: 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. 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.
• Say It with Hearts: Notably, she's the only one to do this in the whole game.

• Sizeshifter: Full-powered Caster is much larger than mortals.
• Stripperiffic: Her default outfit dropes so low that it's a miracle that it doesn't fall off of her chest and constantly gives off panty shots.
• Suspiciously Specific Denial: Tamamo claims she was completely innocent of the crimes for which she was hunted down and killed; and vehemently insists that she is not Daji, a sadistic and bloodthirsty nine-tailed fox who laid waste to China. According to Tamamo, that Daji was — according to those who fought her — identical in appearance to Tamamo, had the same abilities as Tamamo, also went by the moniker "Golden White Face", and that both Daji and Tamamo's original self were Evils of Humanity are all coincidences.
• Superpowered Evil Side: It is said that if she is summoned by someone with an evil heart, she will 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.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: As Amaterasu. She has brown eyes normally otherwise.
• The Tease: She's foxy in one way or another. After all, teasing one's husband is a wife's duty, too.
• Third-Person Person: 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.
• Too Much Alike: The cause of her Hate at First Sight with Passionlip. They're both violent, curse wielding Yanderes in love with the protagonist.
• Tsundere: During some of her Servant Matrix events, especially when it involves other girls like Rin.
• Unreliable Narrator: Caster's backstory claims that 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 Cute and Psycho tendencies and occasional slips of the tongue, Twice's evil Caster, and Golden White Face — 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.
• Useless Useful Spell: 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 Magic Is Rare, Health Is Cheap. 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 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 Level Grinding 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 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.
• Vocal Dissonance: The perky Genki Girl falsetto quickly drops to much crasser husky depths whenever she gets peeved.
• We Used to Be Friends: Tamamo actually fought in a previous Holy Grail War, her master then was Twice H. Pieceman.
• Willfully Weak: 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.
• Worthy Opponent: 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.
• Yamato Nadeshiko: Downplayed. Caster carries herself in this manner and her desire to be a good wife is as genuine as it gets. She can also be pretty scary at times showing she is not an Extreme Doormat but instead possessing a will of her own. However she has a pretty dirty mouth and yet it's always so politely dirty.
• Yandere: She even calls herself one in CCC! She's more than happy to curse of even kill anyone who tries to seduce the protagonist, and even the protagonist themselves runs the risk of being cursed for mishandling her feelings.

Enemy Servants

Rider

Identity: Francis Drake | Master: Shinji Matou | Voiced by: Urara Takano (Japanese), Jessica Gee-George (English, Anime) Karen Vallejo (Latin American Spanish, Anime)

A 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 Gilgamesh (who stockpiles the treasures he gains). As a pirate, she favours using pistols in combat.

---

• Affably Evil: Nicer than her Master is. Not that that's a hard thing to do.
• Badass Boast: When using her Noble Phantasm.
  "Remember my name by the death from my passing! Temeroso el Draque! I am the woman who set the sun! You rascals, it's time! The king of storms, a swarm of ghosts, this is the beginning of the Wild Hunt!"
• Berserk Button: Fate/EXTRA material mentions that she can get truly angry if you were to call Golden Hind by its original name, "Pelican".
• Bottomless Magazines: Exaggerated, since her weapons are single-shot flintlock pistols and she's never shown reloading them after firing. In the Last Encore anime, she's defeated when they click on empty at the same time, leaving her open to attack.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Well, she doesn't actually do anything villainous, but she calls her Master and herself villains.
• Cleavage Window: She outfit has a gap to show off her cleavage.
• Cool Big Sis: She acts like this at times to her Master.
• Cool Boat: The Golden Hind.
• Evil Is Hammy: Thinks that villains should act as flamboyantly as possible. Since she considers herself one...
• Face Death with Dignity: She calmly accepts her defeat in both the first game (unlike her Master) and in the Last Encore anime.
  Rider: I'm out of luck? Well, these things happen sometimes.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has one across her face.
• Guns Akimbo: A pair of flintlock pistols that she never has to reload.
• Gun Fu: Fights using a pair of guns.
• Hard-Drinking Party Girl: While she never drinks onscreen, she's a pirate, and her Master complains at one point that she stinks of alcohol.

• Historical Gender Flip:
  • 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.
  • 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 Early-Installment Weirdness since this concept has never been brought up again and Fate/Grand Order gives a different reason for why she was recorded as male.

• Luck Stat: Notable in that hers is EX-Rank.
• More Dakka: Her Noble Phantasm summons her ship, the Golden Hind, as well as her armada, which bombards the target with cannons.
• Mythology Gag: Shinji's Servant being a Rider class, and the first to be defeated.
• Only in It for the Money: 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, she gets a power boost unless you can prevent her from reaching several treasures.

• Royals Who Actually Do Something: Possibly, as it's hinted that she may be Queen Elizabeth in disguise in the Japanese version.

Archer

Identity: Robin Hood | Master: Dan Blackmore | Voiced by: Kosuke Toriumi (Japanese), Vic Mignogna (English), Alan Prieto (Latin American Spanish)

A chivalrous outlaw thief who relies on guerrilla tactics such as 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.

---

• Adaptational Badass: Due to his master becoming 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 Power Limiter placed on him by his Master, allowing him to fight at full power.
• Combat Pragmatist: Traps, ambushes, poisons — if it helps him win, he'll do it. Though he's always wanted to fight fairly at least once in his life.
• Deadpan Snarker: It seems to be a requirement of the Archer class.
• Expy: His backstory, specifically selflessly protecting everyone around him and ultimately being betrayed by them is very similar to another Archer's and his role as a Legacy Character who has his own identity forgotten is very similar to Assassin's.

• Hero with Bad Publicity: In his backstory.
• Invisibility Cloak: One of his Noble Phantasms, The Faceless King: No Face May King. It has a different effect when used as a skill in-game.
• Just Like Robin Hood: 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.
• Legacy Character: One of many who used the identity of "Robin Hood".
• Mutually Exclusive Power Ups: In the Last Encore anime, it's stated that he can't use The Faceless King: No Face May King and Yew Bow: Bow of Prayer at the same time.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 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 Nasuverse.
• Out-of-Character Alert: 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.
• Poisoned Weapons: His arrows are coated with yew tree toxin.
• "Pop!" Goes the Human: 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. In the game, it only increases damage inflicted by a preexisting poison effect and fails completely if your Servant isn't poisoned when he uses it.
• Power Limiter: Due to his under-handed tactics, his stats got decreased due to his breaking of the rules. Due to his Master's Honor Before Reason and the rules of this Grail War, he is forced into a one-vs-one duel rather than his preferred 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.

Caster

Identity: Nursery Rhyme | Master: Alice | Voiced by: Ai Nonaka (Japanese), Xanthe Huynh (English, Anime), Pamela Mendoza (Latin American Spanish, Anime)

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.

---

• Alice Allusion: For the same reasons as her Master.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: Her true identity is Nursery Rhyme, a personification of children's stories such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

• Creepy Twins: Pulls off the act with her Master.

• Degraded Boss: In CCC, she is faced as a random encounter in Meltryllis's dungeon later on in the game.
• Demoted to Extra: In Last Encore, she only appears once in the series due to the fact that Alice's transformation stripped her of her human form, leaving her as a nondescript book trying to help Alice with her Noble Phantasms.
• Dissonant Serenity: She talks about Ironic Nursery Tune with the same cheerfulness as when she’s playing with her Master, but it’s nothing like when 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 Broken Record.
• Elegant Gothic Lolita: She wears black and pink in contrast to her Master.
• Empathic Shapeshifter: Caster changes form depending on the Master who summoned her.
• Loss of Identity: Caster's Reality Marble, the Nameless Forest, causes people to forget their names, their sense of self and then, that they ever existed.
• Me's a Crowd: In CCC, until you do Alice’s last will, her countless ghost copies replace every enemy program on the floor.
• Mystical White Hair: Appropriately enough for a Caster-class servant.
• Nursery Rhyme: All her Matrix entries except two are done in nursery rhyme. She also utters a few of her own creation.
• Off with His Head!: 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.
• One-Steve Limit: Caster is based on Alice in Wonderland, which gives us such gems as "That's Alice, and I'm Alice." and "I am Alice, the Servant of Alice." Rainbow Speak is an early indicator that the two are different.
• Time-Limit Boss:
  • 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 activates between turns, so there's no way to stop it.
    • In the anime, this renders Alice undefeatable unless she decides not to activate it.
  • This particular facet makes her an extreme case of Puzzle Boss: looking into the Phantasm's description lets you know that she simply repeats the exact same 8-turn move sequence over and over with no deviation between Noble Phantasm activations.
• Weak, but Skilled: Every single one of her stats is Rank E. She balances this out with a plethora of high ranked skills and a Reality Marble.

Lancer

Identity: Vlad III | Master: Lanrukun/Lil' Ronnie | Voiced by: Hisao Egawa

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.

---

• Adapted Out: Never appears in the anime version.

• Berserk Button: The word "monster" if directed at his Master by someone else.
• Blessed with Suck: One of his abilities is the Divine Aegis, more commonly know as Protection of Faith, 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. Higher ranks of this skill have detrimental effects on a person's sanity and personality. Lancer has it at A+++ Rank.
• Blood Is the New Black: The left side of his armor is permanently covered with blood.
• Born Unlucky: His Luck stat is a paltry D rank, in reference to his generally unpleasant personal life (he lost his father and his older brother at a young age, was sent to live along with his younger brother Radu as a political hostage of the Ottoman Sultan even earlier) and his ultimately short reign with limited success (he spent less than ten years as Voivode in total, and despite his successful resistance against the Ottomans, Hungarians and other enemies multiple times was ultimately imprisoned later in life and never reclaimed his earlier military success).
• The Butcher: He was known as the Kazikli Voyvoda/Impaler Prince in life.

• Fangs Are Evil: His canines are visibly long and sharp, like a vampire's fangs.
• Field of Blades: A field of spears comes out when he uses his Noble Phantasm.
• Graceful Loser: Enough of one that it becomes jarring since he's so hammy everywhere else.
• Historical Villain Upgrade: In-Universe, and it literally changes his appearance and abilities to match the common perception of him, represented on his Matrix as the Seraphic Monstrosity ability.
• Humans Are Bastards: He believes that all humans are monstrous in nature, and those who aren't ain't humans in the first place. That being said, he does believe that all humans are capable of finding redemption for the evils they have done.
  Lancer: "Humans are the monstrous ones. A human who has never betrayed another of their wretched kind isn't human."
• Humans Are Special: 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.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: He loves it so much, his Ceremonial Purge skill involves doing it to himself. Strangely, it only damages your Servant. His Noble Phantasm even has the title of Fortress of Impalement.
• Knight Templar: He impaled many of his own country's nobility because he felt that they had destabilized Wallachia. He also impaled thousands of Turkish soldiers as psychological warfare, all in the name of protecting the Christian kingdoms from the Ottomans.
• Large Ham: He has No Indoor Voice, between that and his flowery dialogue he makes Saber look absolutely restrained in comparison.

• Mighty Glacier: His Strength is ranked B and his Endurance is an impressive A rank (plus an unexpected rank A in Magic), but his Agility is ranked E. An unusual case, seeing as Lancer class Servants are usually Fragile Speedsters.
• Mythology Gag: It was established in Melty Blood that Vlad Tepes wasn't a vampire.

• Religious Bruiser: He's very devout, both in life and during the Holy Grail War.
• Tragic Monster: The protagonist believes so, anyway.
  If he really did end up a monster because no one understood him, that's really sad...
• Unholy Matrimony: With his Master. You can tell, because she wants to eat him as he fades away.

Berserker (Arcueid Brunestud)

Identity: Arcueid Brunestud | Master: Monji Gatou | Voiced by: Ryōka Yuzuki

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 Game-Breaker.

---

• Adapted Out: Never appears in the anime.
• Alternate Self: She is an alternate version of Arcueid Brunestud from Tsukihime. Or so it seems at first. In actuality, she is the original Arcueid and was merely altered by the effects of the Mad Enhancement. Once she's defeated and her Master dies, she returns to normal and heads back to her proper world.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: By having Berserker's passive Mad Enhancement. After she is defeated and Gatou is deleted (breaking the Master/Servant link), she returns to normal and is quite friendly towards the Protagonist.
• Call-Back: While Gatou is her official Master in the Moon Cell War, her Servant Matrix reveals her true Master is actually Shiki Tohno.
• Colony Drop: Her Blut die Schwester conjures an illusion of the Crimson Moon.
• Continuity Cameo: Nasu has said that Moon Cell has nothing to do with the Crimson Moon as it would just break the story of Tsukihime apart, albeit the equivalent "Brain of the Moon" in Fate/Extra timeline is still living. In Arcueid's own words, the reason why she's here is due to fanservice.
• Femme Fatalons: She can extend her fingernails into blood-red claws.
• God Guise: Her Master proclaims her to be a true god. She is more of a natural phenomenon, comparable to a tornado or earthquake.
• Mythology Gag: Her overall design and feral demeanor harkens back to that of Red Arcueid.
• No-Sell: Of course the Moon doesn't delete her if she loses. She's a perfect copy of Type Moon, after all.
• Our Vampires Are Different: She is the most powerful True Ancestor in existence.
• Power Limiter: Not only does being a Berserker reduce her overall capabilities, but her Master's incompetence reduces her abilities even further! Even her 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.
• Power Born of Madness: 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.
• The Speechless: Thanks to Mad Enhancement, she's mostly rendered unable to speak coherently. She's silent in all scenes besides the post arena dialogue with the exception of two lines during her boss fight.^note If she dodges a blow from Hakuno's Servant or if she activates Gnaden Sturz.
  Berserker: "How inelegant."
• Skyward Scream: Upon using Blut die Schwester, she leans back and lets out a howl.
• Unskilled, but Strong: While true of the Berserker class in general, because of her master's 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.

Assassin

Identity: Li Shuwen | Master: Julius B. Harway | Voiced by: Kunihiko Yasui (Japanese), Chris Hackney (English, Anime)

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.

---

• Affably Evil: 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.
• Badass Boast: His Noble Phantasm comes from a quote by the elderly Real Life Li Shuwen about not knowing what it is like to hit a man twice^note In context however, Li was referring to spearfighting, not his punching power.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: He doesn't need to wield weapons or wear armor when he can use Bājí Quán.
• Blood Knight: He's very happy to face an enemy that doesn't go down in one hit.
• Card-Carrying Villain: He feels that all he can do is destroy, so he embraces it.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: His Noble Phantasm, despite being referred as such in-game, is actually the highest form of his martial art, where even the slightest touch is enough to kill the opponent.

• Even Evil Has Standards: He comments that, if he killed as often as his Master, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
• Face Death with Dignity: 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.

• Glowing Eyes of Doom: After he's brought back as a Berserker.
• Guy Liner: Red, matching his eyes and hair.
• Invisibility: 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.
• Mythology Gag:
  • This isn't the first time an 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.
  • In Material book, one of his listed enemies is TATARI. Seems rather random enemy to have until you remember that it tried to influence another bajiquan practitioner with Miyako Arima, who managed to reach the same skills as Li Shuwen under its influence.

• No-Sell: Thanks to his above mentioned Invisibility, in gameplay terms there is no way to hurt him when you first meet him. He can only be damaged when it's nullified.
• One-Hit Kill: Despite his reputation, the only time he gets to do this is in cutscenes, unless you made your Servant into a Glass Cannon. During the battle with him it has an HP to One effect instead, taking off 90% of your Servant's current HP if it hits.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Red-eyed and very deadly.
• Rule of Three: It takes three attempts to 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.
• Screaming Warrior: After he's brought back as a Berserker.
• Square Race, Round Class: 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.
• Touch of Death: His famous quip about not knowing what it's like to hit a man twice is the biggest clue to his identity.
• Weak, but Skilled: Makes up for his rather low stats (save for an A Rank AGI) with his unique Sphere Boundary/Concealment and Chinese Martial Arts/Liuhe Quan skills, ranked A and A+++ respectively.

Lancer

Identity: Cu Chulainn | Master: Rin Tousaka | Voiced by: Nobutoshi Canna

An Irish demigod hero, and Expy of Lancer from Fate/stay night. 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 reverses cause and effect to create a reason for it.

---

• Cool and Unusual Punishment: Is ordered to eat ten mapo tofu in under a minute by Kotomine for losing.

• Heroic Sacrifice: 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.
• Major Injury Underreaction: 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.
• Mythology Gag: In Fate/stay night, Lancer says he would have liked Rin to be his Master.
  • If you save Rin, he sacrifices himself and comments:
    "Now, I just need to work on finding ways to defend people without getting myself killed..."
• One-Hit Kill: Gae Bolg. As in Fate/stay night, high Luck or Archer's 7 Rings of Heaven skill can stop it.
• Optional Boss: In CCC, he is an optional boss and has Kotomine as his master.
• Power Limiter: Lancer's Battle Continuation skill was reduced by his current master in order to raise his endurance.
• Tron Lines: The main difference between his design here and the one in Fate/stay night.

Berserker

Identity: Lu Bu | Master: Rani VIII | Voiced by: Kunihiko Yasui

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

---

• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: In his backstory, but not in the game itself, since Mad Enhancement denies him the state of mind for it.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Later games in the franchise stress that he gets attached to young girls, who remind him of his daughter, and was close with his strategist, Chen Gong in life, whom his Master resembles. Collectively, these help explain why, even when her control over him snapped, he chose to save her life at the cost of his own, despite his infamous Chronic Backstabbing Disorder.
• Flat Character: If he actually gets a story arc to himself, rather than sacrificing himself to save his Master on her route, he shows less personality, since he's just her tool and puppet to the end.
• Four-Star Badass: His true name is Lu Bu, one of the more infamous military commanders during the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
• Go Out with a Smile: The one time he really emotes in the game is when he smiles slightly upon saving his master and the protagonist, at the cost of his own life.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In Rani's route, he protects her and the Protagonist from the explosion that was trying to take Rin and the Moon Cell with her.
• Hypocrite: One of his listed dislikes is betrayal. Yes, the most treacherous warrior of the Three Kingdoms era and whose like section lists betrayal as one of things he likes, hates being betrayed himself.
• Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Rather than filling up the action bar, Berserker will act only half the turns in a given round. This is more deviously difficult than it seems; Caster especially struggles to deal with him since so many of her defensive tricks involve stunning an enemy for a turn if she can guess what kind of attack they're going to make and passing instead means she doesn't have any reliable way to avoid eating his Skills to her face.
• Mythology Gag: 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 Berserker that we know. Later games in the franchise suggest he also easily comes to see teenage girls as surrogate daughter figures, much like that Berserker, and in the route where he makes a Heroic Sacrifice, it's implied he liked his Master as a person.
• Screaming Warrior: All his attacks are accompanied by loud roars and mechanical clanks.
• Swiss-Army Weapon: His Noble Phantasm has five forms, but due to Mad Enhancement, he can only use Halberd Force and Cannon Force.
• The Unintelligible: His text boxes contain only gibberish lines instead of legible text.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Relies solely on brute strength, but has more than enough of it to spare.

Saber (Sir Gawain)

Identity: Gawain | Master: Leonard Harway | Voiced by: Takahiro Mizushima (Japanese), Chris Patton (English), Pascual Meza (Latin American Spanish)

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".

---

• The Atoner: After his actions resulted in the destruction of Arthur's kingdom, the death of most of the knights and his own disgrace he wished for a second chance to perfectly serve a king without question.
• Blind Obedience: After his failures in Camelot, Gawain has decided to never question or critique his king, even if that means ignoring blatant flaws and weaknesses.
• Chivalrous Pervert: See his reaction to any of Leo’s perverted hijinks and to the Alter Egos. He somehow can spout most detailed description of women’s erotic features with such a straightforward manner, it’s like he’s telling only truth.
• Cool Sword: Excalibur Galatine, which has a shard of the Sun in it. Its name is a reference to both Excalibur, which certain early French stories had him wielding, and Galatine, the sword he wields in most other stories.
• Disc-One Final Boss: In the original game. He is the last opponent for the Holy Grail War, but the game still isn't quite over after you defeat him.

• Flaming Sword: When he uses his Blade of Devotion skill.
• Hopeless Boss Fight: 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.
• Hour of Power: 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.
• Innocently Insensitive: 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.
• It's All My Fault: Believes his hatred for Lancelot caused the fall of Camelot.

• Lethal Chef: His cooking is so horrid, Leo forbids him from for touching the kitchenware ever again. It implied that the reason why Arthur is such a glutton is because she put up with his foods in their Round Table time.
• Mythology Gag: 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.
• No-Sell: If fought during his Hour of Power, he is immune to damage.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Excalibur Galatine is a really powerful Noble Phantasm that compliments Gawain's fighting style, but it is also the sister-sword to the much more popular Excalibur, meaning that it rarely got mentioned in the original myths.
• The Power of the Sun: The Sun empowers him during the day.
• Revenge: Originally against Lancelot. He eventually forgives Lancelot before his death.
• Rule of Three: His Numeral of the Saint ability triples his strength during three-hour periods.
• Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke: 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.
• Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Whenever Gawain 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.
• To Be Lawful or Good: 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 Lawful Stupid 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.
• Trash Talk: He's kind of a dick to his enemies◊. He's not even good at it. However, according to materials released....
  "He never looked down on his enemies. Needless to say, he also never insults his enemies, confronting them with politeness and maintaining his fighting spirit and resolve even when the opponent lacks capacity."
• Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil: As part of his Blind Obedience, CCC shows that Gawain hates traitors. He can't stand Elizabeth for killing her own Master, and gets into an arguement with Gilgamesh - who didn't see a problem with Elizabeth's actions on the ground they never shared a common goal in the first place - despite everyone thinking it's a bad idea.
• The Worf Effect: Suffers from this when he fights BB, who proceeds to use the Grail to deal 99999 damage to him.

Saver/Savior

Identity: Buddha Shakyamuni | Master: Twice H. Pieceman | Voiced by: Hideyuki Tanaka (Drama CD)

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.

---

• The Dragon: Even though he doesn't support Twice's ideals, he's just being compassionate towards the soul of the original Twice.
• Final Boss: Of the first game.
• Final Boss Preview: Downplayed in the Last Encore anime. The Action Prologue shows Savior defeating Female Hakuno and the playable Saber, but when Male Hakuno and Saber arrive at the Moon Cell core, Savior has long abandoned the place, and only his Time-Limit Boss Noble Phantasm remains with Twice's Dead Face to oppose the protagonists.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: When he opens his eyes to glare at his opponents, and looks rather menacing that way.
• Invincible Villain: 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 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.
• Last of His Kind: And also the first. A Character Materials entry released for Fate/Grand Order relevant to Solomon mentions that he is the only human to ever achieve enlightenment.
• Light Is Good: Everything that he does, he does out of compassion.
• Martial Pacifist: He is always meditating, even in battle, and his attacks are all projectiles he waves gently with his hands.
• Mythology Gag: In Fate/stay night, the original version of Saber was called Saver.
• Nice Guy: Given how he's the Buddha, did you expect anything else?
• One-Hit Kill: His Noble Phantasm, Amita Amitabha: Transmigration into One.
• Physical God: 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.
• Power Limiter: 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.
• Punch-Clock Villain: He's only working with Twice out of pity.

• Time-Limit Boss: 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 One-Hit Kill, instant Game Over.
• Willfully Weak: 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.

CCC Servants

Gilgamesh

Voiced by Tomokazu Seki

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 Finishing Move.

---

• The Ace: Word of God 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, the reason he is not allowed to be summoned on the Near Side is that he would make the Holy Grail War too easy. Thus he can only be summoned on the Far Side.
• Adaptational Badass: While Gilgamesh is far from weak in Fate/Stay Night, he often loses to opponents weaker than him due to his own arrogance and never taking any fight seriously. Here, he's able to hold his own against likes of Kiara and BB and even come out on top. Even his trademark arrogance, which is a Fatal Flaw that constantly bit him in the ass, isn't a hindrance.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: While the Gilgamesh in Fate/Stay Night and Zero is an outright irredeemable asshole from beginning to the end. His incarnation in the Fate/Extra universe; while a self-centered dick at worse, at best he's capable of forming a loyal bond with Hakuno as their servant and expresses respect to other servants provided that they impress him with their fighting skills. It's possible he's this way because Seraph, the world he's summoned to is a virtual world that reminds him of Babylonia, his own nation he once ruled over before his death.
• Armor Is Useless: An odd example, and something of a Double Subversion. Gilgamesh's default costume is his 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 Rule of Cool.
• Artificial Human: Created from the Counter Force by the Gods to control humanity.
• Ascended Meme: 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"), with fans calling him "AUO" ever since Fate/stay night.
• Badass Armfold: His standard battle stance. Only by getting his HP to red does he lower his arms to a relaxed standing pose.
• Bag of Spilling: Him being at level 1 is the result of sleeping for (in Moon Cell time) over a millennium. 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.
• Blinded by the Light: When confronted by Red Lancer, Gilgamesh deals with her by stripping naked. His crotch (but not his buttocks) is concealed by a shining golden sun.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: 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.
• The Caligula: Anderson tells him to his face he was this, caring only for his own pleasures while ignorant to the suffering of his people at best or just making life harder for them at worst. He's not wrong, either; Gilgamesh as king during his early years was an absolute monster.
• Defrosting Ice King: He comes to regard the Protagonist at almost the same level as Enkidu.
• The Dreaded: Everyone watches what they say around him, including his allies. Even Leo makes sure to be respectful.
• Dual Wielding: Can use two swords in combat.
• Easier Than Easy: 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.
• Escaped from Hell: 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.
• Foil: As he himself points out, he's one to his fellow overpowered Servant Karna. Gilgamesh is a greedy tyrant who (initially) couldn't care less about his Master, Karna's the generous Hero of Charity who would do anything for his Master.
• Gold and White Are Divine: He is a demigod.
• Guide Dang It!: 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 Missed. The second SG requires you to use Gilgamesh's skills for at least 30 times, which is easier to be done than the first one. The last SG can only be unlocked by spending 300,000 Sakurament. Particularly jarring since the other servants are not as hard to acquire.
• Has a Type: 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.
• The Hedonist: 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, and a lion doll because he can't get the real one.
• Hidden Depths: This was one of Nasu's intentions for Gil's depiction in this game. According to Word of God, 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 Jerk with a Heart of Gold here.
• Hyperspace Arsenal: Just like the Gilgamesh from Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero, he mainly fights by pulling weapons out of his treasury or just launching them.
• It Amused Me: 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?
• It Makes Sense in Context: Most of his conversations only make sense if you have prior knowledge of things in-universe. Like his "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Gawain flies over everyone’s heads because they don’t know who Arthur actually is and calling Julius "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.
• It's All About Me: He's calmer and less psychotic than he was in Fate/stay night... but only because the EXTRA world resembles his kingdom more than the primary world did.
• It's Personal: He was fine letting BB do whatever she wanted and all, 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.
• Jerkass Has a Point: A lot of the things he says, while cruel, are pretty much spot on. The 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.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Make no mistake, Gilgamesh is still a gigantic prick who's more than willing to throw barbs at anyone, his Master included even if he's much nicer here than in Fuyuki. However, he's done something that would only be done with Ritsuka Fujimaru years later: Acknowledge the protagonist as his Master. Gil is willing to take his fights seriously on behalf on the protagonist to the point where he would willingly pull out Ea if his Master desires it without complaint.
• Lonely at the Top: After he became an adult and came to understand the world and the future in ways neither Gods nor Humans could understand. Leading to him becoming the arrogant Jerkass Tyrant until he met Enkidu.
• Love Hurts: 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, Narcissistic, and My Master, Right or Wrong 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. 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.
• Master of All: 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.
• Mundane Utility: He has a poison-tasting Noble Phantasm stored away.
• Mythology Gag: His swimsuit mystic code vaguely resembled what Gilgamesh wore in his child form.
• No Kill like Overkill: 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.
• Not So Above It All: After finishing the swimwear quest, Gilgamesh will talk about an indoor water park his child self designed in Fate/hollow ataraxia which he calls "Thrilling Splash Time" and excitedly monologues a ten-minute description of it.
• One-Hit Kill: His Enuma Elish attack kills any enemy with less than 30% HP remaining, including boss characters.
• Only Friend: Enkidu as it has always been. He is still able to grow close to the Protagonist over time.
• Pet the Dog: Has a few of these after 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 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.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: 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.
• Regenerating Mana: Gets the ability to regen MP after passing Level 20 for 3 turns.
• Semi-Divine: Two-thirds divine. ^Genealogy Gilgamesh's mother was a goddess who had sex with a human king and a male god; according to Mesopotamian genealogy of the time and myth, both males were Gilgamesh's fathers in equal measure.
• Shameless Fanservice Guy: 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 CCC Lancer. He also has a completely casual reaction to Rani's demands that Hakuno strip for one level, neither excited nor disgusted.
• Shout-Out: His "secret Noble Phantasm" (the A.U.O. "Cast Off" system) is a Shout-Out to the "Cast Off" system in Kamen Rider Kabuto (with the same effect and everything).
• The Starscream: 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 Sarcastic Devotee to you.
• Storm of Blades: Uses Gate of Babylon this way when guarding. Also has it as one of his skills.
• This Is a Drill: He uses one that's also a Gun 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 It´s older than the concept of the first sword.
• Turned Against Their Masters: 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.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Back when he was a young boy. Loved by the people, the Gods, and ruled them fairly.
• You Didn't Ask: Unlike the other playable servants, he knows a lot more about what's going on behind the scenes in the main plot. He chooses to say nothing at least partially because he wants to see if the team is smart enough to figure it out without him spelling it out for them, but also because he knows BB is only playing with kid gloves because everyone is in the dark right now.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: The protagonist has 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 each other.
• Willfully Weak: 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.

Karna

Master: Jinako Karigiri | Voiced by Koji Yusa

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 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.

---

• All-Loving Hero: How he got the title as the "Hero of Generosity".
• All-Powerful Bystander: His power is equal to Gilgamesh himself albeit weaker due to his master, and BB even remarks that she wouldn't be able to defeat him if teamed up with Gawain. Unfortunately, Jinako refuses to cooperate with the student council and she forbids him to help even if he wants to so he spends all his time guarding her in the Janitor's closet instead.
• Armor of Invincibility: His kavacha (armor) and kundala (earring) are so powerful that not even B.B. can do as much as put a scratch on them. He gave the armor to Jinako without her knowledge or consent so that she could survive the reset.
• Born Lucky:
  • 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."
  • Subverted. Karna requests that his luck be displayed at A+ since he feels that lucky getting Jinako as his master.
• Canon Immigrant: He was originally created for the light novel Spinoff Fate/Apocrypha, where he was a Lancer.
• Deadpan Snarker: 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.
• Determinator:
  • He's keeping himself alive through sheer force of will after his fight with Hakuno's servant, all so his master won't get killed. Just before the school disappears, he reveals to Jinako that his wounds actually never healed since he never had his armor in the fight.
  • In the Foxtail manga, Leo even commends him for stopping himself from vanishing after tanking Gawain's noble phantasm.
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: 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.
• Drama-Preserving Handicap: He is called a Heroic Spirit that is as powerful as Gilgamesh (and 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.
• The Dreaded: When people find out his identity, they are guaranteed to be cowed by his fame. It's shown the most when he does a Big Damn Hero 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.
• Eye Beams: Brahmastra, a projectile Noble Phantasm that changes its shape depends on his class. As a Lancer, it manifests as his signature Death Glare given offensive power. ^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 Eye Beams just like in CCC.
• Heroic Sacrifice: 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.
• It Only Works Once: Indra's thunder spear Vasavi Shakti is immensely powerful, but converting so much raw energy into the attack comes at the cost of shattering his own armor. He spends the rest of the game recovering from his injuries.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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 Brutal Honesty. 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.
• Meaningful Rename: His "Launcher" nickname isn't entirely from Jinako's kookiness - it fits him more than "Lancer" does within this summoning, since the aforementioned Drama-Preserving Handicap 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 Eye Beams are his most reliable Noble Phantasm at his current level (hence, Launcher).
• Momma's Boy: 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.
• Nice Guy: To the point that it basically is the sole reason he died in life, he was quite simply too nice for his own good. He was raised to be effectively the patron saint of charity after his death.
• No Flow in CGI: 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.
• No Social Skills: 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.
• Parental Substitute: To Jinako, though he prefers to be seen as the younger brother.
• Pretty Boy: 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 constant frowning and piercing glare.
• Self-Deprecation: He pretty much agrees with Jinako's complaints about himself while casually low key-roasting his master.
  Jinako: Why are you taking (Hakuno)'s side anyway! You useless servant!
  Karna: That's a sound argument as well. Useless masters have useless servants.
• Slap-on-the-Wrist Nuke: 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...
• The Stoic: 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 he really had every right to be.
• Tragic Hero: The world worked really hard to screw him over throughout his entire life.
• Trauma Conga Line: 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 cruel countenance only further ostracized him from his peers.
• Undying Loyalty: While Jinako isn't fond of him until the end, he faithfully guards and follows whatever she says while low-key roasting her habits and weight. He even fought for her sake after she was turned into a Sentinel by BB and is falling into a very depressed state. When Jinako finally agrees to lend Karna to help them out, he refuses to follow the order with the excuse of his weakened state, but the true reason was to stay and help her escape the Moon Cell.
• "Well Done, Son" Guy: He single-handedly started a war after his foster father (who only adopted him out of greed) was insulted by the five Pendava brothers.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Averted. Despite his stoic exterior and tendency for Brutal Honesty, 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.
• Worthy Opponent: 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.

Lancer (Elizabeth Báthory)

Master: Varies^note Has been shown as Rani, Rin, Shinji, Meltryllis, and the PC's Servant. | Voiced by Rumi Ōkubo

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 Elizabeth Báthory, an infamous Hungarian noblewoman and serial killer.

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 Idol Singer, 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.

---

• Ambiguous Innocence: 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!
• Anti-Villain: Subverted. During her third appearance, she's built up as someone that might be sympathetic, but in the end, she really isn't. 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.
• Attention Whore: Her obsession with idol life is because of this. 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.
• Beware the Silly Ones: She's a ditzy idiot, but she's actually pretty potent under the right circumstances. And no matter how goofy she is, she's still a sadistic Serial Killer. Sure, she likes the player, but it doesn't change what she is.
• Blood Countess: She represents a preteen version of Elizabeth Báthory, the Hungarian noblewoman and Serial Killer, known as the "Blood Countess" because she was said to bathe in the blood of her victims as a means of preserving her beauty. This version retains her Torture Technique skill from the stories in which she tortured hundreds of men and women who tried to escape her Castle Csejte.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Because of the combination of her upbringing and mental illness, she honestly doesn’t see her actions as wrong. 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.
• Bodyguard Betrayal: 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.
• Boxed Crook: 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.
• Claustrophobia: 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. When the protagonist gains her SG and the Mission Control traps her inside a cage of IceWall, she loses any shred of her arrogance and screams for mercy the entire time.
• Cute Is Evil: No matter how innocent and cute she may appear, she's still an unrepentant, narcissistic mass murderer.
• Cute Monster Girl: She appears as a cute little girl with prominent monstrous features such as horns, protruding fangs, long pink claws, a long draconic tail, and pink scales scattered throughout her body.
• Disappears into Light: 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.
• Dreadful Musician: 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.
• Elegant Gothic Lolita: She's claded in a cyber-goth-loli dress.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: She has a lot of potential excuses prepared. She suffered from constant migraines, her dragon blood influenced her, she was raised not to consider peasants as fellow humans and so on. But in the end? They don't excuse anything. She made her choices and her choices damned her. It's only accepting that her fate was her own fault and trying to do better that makes her possibly redeemable.
• Guest-Star Party Member: In order to defeat the Origins of each Servant and unlock each Servants' full potential.
• Happily Married: Despite Liz's obsession with remaining "pure," which most likely stems from the fact that she had to get married at age 15, her character history states she had a long, loving relationship with her husband and was probably one of the few sources of genuine happiness she had in life.
• Hollywood Tone-Deaf: 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.
• Horned Humanoid: 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.
• Idol Singer: She introduces herself as an "Idol" class Servant. She's... not very good at it.
• I Just Want to Be Beautiful: She has a 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.
• Irony: She killed her original master out of disgust for her being a crazed serial killer who has no idea she's doing anything wrong and is just following her nature. Which is exactly what Liz is.
• Lethal Chef: 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.
• Little Bit Beastly: While at first one might think she looks like a Hot as Hell devil girl, her horns and tail are actually those of a dragon.
• Magical Girl Warrior: 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.
• Make Me Wanna Shout: Her Dragon's Breath skill as she uses her dragon lungs to power up her screams.
• Moral Event Horizon: In-Universe, 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.
• Mythical Motifs: Dragons. In life her family crest had a dragon on it and there were rumors that she had dragon's blood.
• New Job as the Plot Demands: Fought the most out of any character in the game yet keeps changing Masters. She made pact with BB to be her personal Psycho for Hire 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.
• Our Dragons Are Different: Her horns and tail are actually those of a dragon. She also has the Dragon's Breath skill. 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.
• Pointy Ears: She has pointed ears that add to her devilish look.
• Point of Divergence: She is Run Ru's Lancer in CCC instead of Vlad III.
• The Power of Blood: She requires gallons of blood daily in order to bathe in it. It's also how she can increase her power.
• Purposely Overpowered: If you look at her skill list, it's obvious she has tons of great effects on her abilites and really high damage multipliers, she's just terrible at utilizing them as a boss. Then when she becomes your temporary servant, you see how hilariously strong Liz can be in the right hands, because the player needs a servant strong enough to beat their own no matter which one they picked, turning what should be a relatively hard fight into a Zero-Effort Boss even against Gilgamesh.
• Recurring Boss: Is the boss of chapters 1, 2 and 5, practically half of the game's 7 chapters.
• Spell My Name With An S: The English localization of Fate/Grand Order spells her name as "Elisabeth Báthory" rather than using Elizabeth Báthory.
• Superpower Lottery: 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.
• Tail Slap: Her Vér Salgóvár move uses this as an attack, and her Lert sügér Tran move uses this as a misdirection.
• Too Kinky to Torture: 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.
• Torture Technician: Has a "Torturing Method" skill ranked A. 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 Not Themselves.
• Tsundere: Her like in the artbook is the Protagonist, but the way the entry is written is very stereotypical tsundere; it starts with a very long Visible Silence, before finally admitting that it was the Pig that she likes. Even then, the entry ends with question mark, almost that she's not sure herself.
• Villains Want Mercy: She goes out begging for anything but imprisonment, even a dirty, ignoble death. She still doesn't really understand why she's being punished, either.

Caster (Hans Christian Andersen)

Master: Kiara Sesshouin | Voiced by Takehito Koyasu

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 Hans Christian Andersen, a famous Danish writer.

His Noble Phantasm is Märchen Meines Lebens: A Story Just For You, which allows Caster to transform someone, body and soul, 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/Character Development is incomplete.

---

• Armor-Piercing Response: After Kiara becomes a monster bent on destroying humanity, your Servant demands to know who's side Anderson is on. He bluntly says his Master's, like any good Servant should be. Your Servant has no response.
• Beleaguered Assistant: Despite his Undying Loyalty, Caster does not like how Kiara acts and insults her every chance he gets. He even warns the protagonist when she's going to use her Noble Phantasm during the boss fight.
• Body Horror: 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.
• Brutal Honesty: 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 understands that person, not out of malice.
• Cassandra Truth: He repeatedly calls Kiara the worst kind of selfish hypocritical scum, but nobody pays any attention to him.
• Crippling Overspecialization: His magic rank is EX, but all his other stats are ranked E.
• Curtains Match the Window: Has matching blue hair and eyes.
• Deadpan Snarker: And if you have Caster as Servant, they have a short Snark-to-Snark Combat that quickly evolves into an epiphany of just why they're bitter to each other.
• Death by Cameo: Gets oneshot by Suzuki Gozen in the Foxtail Manga.
• Deconstruction: It seems to his hobby. If asked about Lancer 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 Self-Deprecation when he looks back to the time when he was alive.
• The Dragon: To Kiara, the true mastermind of CCC.
• Exact Words: 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.
• Graceful Loser: Lets everyone escape and doesn't bother to fight them after they defeat Kiara, happy with how the story had played out.
• Innocent Blue Eyes: 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.
• Lethal Joke Character: 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. Kiara uses it to become a demi-god, and that's even with Hans holding back.
• Love Hurts: Had his heart broken throughout his life, yet he still believes in love.
• The Medic: Specializes in healing and support magic.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: 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.
• Non-Action Guy: He ends up simply buffing Kiara and letting her fight most of the time since the majority of his stats are absolutely atrocious.
• Older Than He Looks: 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.
• Punch-Clock Villain: 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.
• Reality Warper: 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 Character Development 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.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech:
  • If you ask him to give his opinion about your Servant, he'll happily give you a critique...or roast them depending on which Servant you picked as your partner. He even has the balls to do this to Gilgamesh of all people, telling the King of Heroes to his face he was a horrible king, even demanding payment for his "critique". Contrary to his expectations, Gilgamesh is actually impressed by Anderson's "critique" and compliments him for it.
  • 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.
• The Unfought: Never fights in battles directly. Instead it's his master that is fought.
• Vocal Dissonance: Despite his young appearance, he has a voice of an older gentleman. This represents his childish mind capable of the fairy tales he wrote, but that he was still an adult.

CCC Other Entities

B.B.

Voiced by Noriko Shitaya

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 "Groundhog Day" Loop 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.

---

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Subverted, as B.B. only really went crazy due to being hacked by Kiara Sesshouin.

• Anti-Villain: She has almost no malice to her enemies, she’s never actively attacking your party until Moon Cell overrides her, and her goal is to ensure you survive through the entire Grail War alive.
• Beware the Silly Ones: Her personality is outwardly bubbly and eccentric, and her methods involve lots and lots and lots of Sakura and things based on Sakura bordering on narcissism. This is hemmed in by every scene featuring her loudly reminding the player that she has 100% control of the Far Side and 0% concern for anyone's well-being except for Hakuno, who as a full-on Yandere is not a good thing.
• Calling Your Attack: When using Crowns of Ten Rulerships/Hill of Seven against Gawain;
  BB: Sakura Beeeeeam!!!
• The Chessmaster: 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.
• Composite Character: 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.
• Creepy Monotone: If she's sufficiently ticked off (notably refusing to sever your contract with Gilgamesh, or even if you decide to), she lapses into this. When the Moon Cell wins in its and BB’s struggle of power over the Moon Cell’s control, it starts up full time.
• Cute Bruiser: No matter what kind of power within her arsenal, she’s still the impishly cute junior BB-chan and acts that way.
• Do Not Adjust Your Set: BB Channel! BB can hack everyone's senses to project her own little broadcast, usually just to taunt the cast. Her third SG reveals it's also meant to be her own crazy version of a love call and is always sulky that the protagonist doesn't notice.

• Evil Is Hammy: She's as evil as she is over the top, and she will let you know it.

• Final Boss: Of the normal Far Side story mode.
• Genki Girl: Acts this way during "BB Channel" segments, but calms down otherwise.
• Heroic Sacrifice: In CCC True End, holding back Moon Cell's Advancing Firewall of Doom as your Servant tries to clear the path out of the Labyrinth, complete with an Anguished Declaration of Love.
• Holy Halo: In the fight against her she has a purple like halo behind her, which has a eye in the middle.

• Humanity on Trial: 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.
• Insecure Love Interest: She's absolutely flabbergasted if you confess to her on the CCC route, pointing out how horrible she's been and admiting that she's a really hard person to deal with (albeit with some self-praise thrown in).
• King of All Cosmos: 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.
• Killer Game Master: 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.
• Leotard of Power: Similarly to the playable Saber, while it looks like she's constantly giving Panty Shots, she's actually wearing a white leotard under her skirt.
• Literal Split Personality: 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.
• Love Makes You Evil: She's Sakura's discarded affection for Hakuno, and despite her pleasant overall attitude and demeanor she is not a very nice person. 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.
• Loving Bully: Her final SG points out that she's such a sadist that her occasional bouts of cruelty towards the protagonist are just her way of showing affection.
• Meaningful Name: Capsule Servant reveals that BB is an acronym for Black Blossom, fitting the Floral Theme Naming of the Sakuras and her status as Dark Sakura's expy. This is supported by Meltryllis who refers her as Black Sakura.
• No-Sell: 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.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: She tends to drop her trolling personality whenever the protagonist is in actual danger and she's not in a position to help, like when she rages at Gilgamesh for taking the protagonists Command Seals (and the Master protections they confer) or when the protagonist risks deleting themselves trying to reawaken their Servant.
• Other Me Annoys Me: She hates Sakura for dumping her memories of the protagonist on B.B. Not because she doesn't want them - she cherishes them beyond anything! - but because she's disgusted that Sakura could have given up on those memories or on saving the protagonist.
• Out-of-Character Moment: Suffers a few through the storyline when her charming, Genki Girl mask slips to become something more mechanical. It's because she cannot handle manipulating the entire Moon Cell, and it's starting to consume her.
• Phallic Weapon: 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.
• Physical God: 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 instantly defeat you with her Noble Phantasm.
• Pure Is Not Good: 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.
• Sarcastic Confession: She's actually pretty open about how much she loves the protagonist, it's just that her words are just dripping with cruelty and sadism, on top of the whole "evil villain" schtick, that nobody actually takes it seriously.
• Shadow Archetype: To Sakura, figuratively and literally.
• Sinister Surveillance: She has a good understanding on what is going on in the Moon Cell. As a demonstration, if you get a particular NPC to claim that she's a better nurse than B.B., she will kill her on the spot for her Blasphemous Boast.
• Story-Breaker Power: 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. Less fortunately, she eventually manages to fix that.
• Time Stands Still: 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.
• Troll: The self-proclaimed little devil's M.O. She teases you, hijacks your senses with the BB Channel, and far, far more. It's to the point that characters start to get worried when her trolling slows down as the Moon Cell encroaches on her mind. According to her third SG and her own confession on the CCC route, it's mostly just to get the protagonist's attention.
• Victoria's Secret Compartment: Where B.B. stores the Golden Grail for her Aurea Boura Attack.
• Yandere: For the Protagonist.

Passionlip

Voiced by Yui Ogura

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.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer: To the protagonist. Well, more like a Fan Disservice 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?
• Big Eater: She engages in battle several times, but always breaks off first because she always gets hungry in the middle of it.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: Her inhumanly large breasts are her most notable feature, and are sometimes Played for Drama or fanservice. They're also often a source for Boob-Based Gag, with Nursery Rhyme, Robin, and some of the player Servants bullying her for her appearance.
• Composite Character: 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.
• Conspicuously Selective Perception: 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 Draw Aggro 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 Super-Strength skill. She weaponizes Not Evil, Just Misunderstood by turning her own perceptions into those of abuse victims! She would then use those abuses as a "justification" for lashing out, never to realize that she was made that way.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Everyone near her has an inexplicable urge to be abusive to her, and her Punishment Time is disturbingly played like a girl being sexual assaulted by her boyfriend in an act of betraying her trust in them.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: She destroys the Noble Phantasm of Archer Robin Hood that he gave her because she wants to use it as ribbon.
• Femme Fatalons: To a ridiculous extent, as her hands end in massive claws that are closer to ten BFS than "fingers".
• Floral Theme Naming: She is named after the passionflower.
• Humanoid Abomination: 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.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: 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 Draw Aggro skill makes everyone around her unable to resist the urge to abuse her and her other skill makes her unaware that 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.
• Image Song: Dreamin'
• Impossible Hourglass Figure: She has a 160cm bust, 63cm waist, and 87cm hips. Her disfigured shape is the first sign that the Sakura Five were created just to lighten BB's load, with no concern for giving them functional bodies.
• Kick the Dog: 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 Kids Are Cruel, 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.
• Rocket Punch: Brynhild Romantia, which becomes stronger and unavoidable more she loves her target. And she loves the protagonist so very much...
• Shoot the Shaggy Dog: If enough flags were gathered and proper understanding of BB's motive is gained (which is Guide Dang It! unless you're in New Game Plus), 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. 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.

• Stalker with a Crush: 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.
• Super-Strength: 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 Depth Deception to "fit" her target within her claws via Finger Framing, then 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.
• Victoria's Secret Compartment: 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. They're just that huge.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: 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: For the Protagonist. Her composite goddesses are those who were also screwed by love, to boot.

Meltryllis

Voiced by Saori Hayami

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.

---

• Alas, Poor Villain: As explained by the protagonist, Meltryllis herself fears being loved. Caster's analysis of her pretty much explains this:
  Caster: A visage of a girl who is proud, but therefore, tragic.
• Animal Motif: Bees. Her spikes are like a stinger injecting their venom, and her pattern of turning everyone into obedient copies of herself places herself as the queen above drones.
• Armed Legs: Her lower legs are giant metal prostheses she uses to fight with.
• Assimilation Backfire: 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.
• The Assimilator: 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.
• Beneath the Mask: She's haughty and stoic, but she's also probably the most aware of her flaws and SGs. She doesn't even really resist in her Punishment Time, she just wants the protagonist to finally confirm what she already knows.
• Big Sister Bully: To Passionlip; she's verbally abusive and callous to Lip as she can only protest weakly at her.

• Break the Haughty: The entire point of her punishment scene is to break her eternal unchanging love philosophy.
• Catchphrase: Her “Came from BB, and yet not BB” every time she introduces herself or other Alter Egos is the first sign of her most apparent issue.
• Combat Stilettos: Her legs end in massive stiletto-like points.
• Composite Character: She is a composite of the Greek Goddess Artemis, Old Testament's Leviathan or Ugaritic's Lotan, and the Indian Goddess Sarasvati.
• Creepy Ballet: Meltryllis performs dances based on those from operas like Giselle. She uses those dances to rip her foes to ribbons with her Armed Legs and melt them into data for her to absorb and devour.
• Dance Battler: 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.
• Expy: Has some elements of Dark Sakura from Heaven's Feel, such as assimilating people into her body.
• Fastball Special: 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.
• Floral Theme Naming: 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.
• Handicapped Badass: As noted by her skill, she’s in all but form a quadruplet amputee and it doesn’t hinder her as a bonafide Blood Knight. She does have normal, perfectly functioning human arms underneath that coat, but they are completely insentitive to any sense of touch, which upsets her greatly when her hobby is building model figures and thus doesn't have the precise tactile feel needed to make them.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Deconstructed, because the nature of her love is so warped that no one would be happy with it. Played straight in CCC Route, which she lets the protagonist go as she knows that just be able to love is enough for her.
• Image Song: Doukoku ("Poison")
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: 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.
• I Shall Taunt You: When using Farewell Albrecht.
  Oh~ Scary, scary~!
• Kick Chick: Her main form of attacking is using her Armed Legs.
• Lonely Doll Girl: She absolutely adores dolls because she's terrified of love, so she takes comfort in a one-sided love on the closest thing.
• Making a Splash: 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.
• Motor Mouth: Normally an aloof Ice Queen, if the topic of the conversation is Figurine then she will talk non-stop.
  Meltryllis: ^{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. [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!
• My Rules Are Not Your Rules: Meltryllis is a ridiculously unbalanced opponent: she's Lv. 999(due to Level Limit), she can absorb the EXP, skills and stats of fallen enemies to strengthen herself, and best of all, she is immune to damage. B.B. removes her invulnerability, and later Shinji uses an Assimilation Backfire 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: 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 everyone into herself so she can love herself along with everyone more.
• No-Sell: Apparently being level 999 wasn't enough for her, so she reprogrammed the Labyrinth's rules to say "Meltryllis cannot take damage". This aspect of her doesn't get removed until near the end of her story section, making it possible to even damage her, let alone beat her. Once that's gone, there's just the fact that she still has insanely high stats.
• Older Than They Look: She's the second oldest Alter Ego after the unseen Violet, and yet looks like standard lolicon bait. It seems she has a complex regarding being older, yet looking younger than Passionlip.
• Petite Pride: 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.
• Really Gets Around: From the skill description, it seems this is the reason why she has that B rank Riding skill.
• Sense Freak: 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, she can only feel satisfied with it by fighting. Another outlet for her touching sense is by collecting and making figurines, which is all but impossible as her fingers are uselessly paralyzed.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: She always talks with a certain grace that only apparent to stereotypical Ice Queen 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.
• Spell My Name With An S: 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 amaryllis and as of Fate/Grand Order, 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. This led to half a decade of mass confusion concerning the anglo-roman spelling of her name, prior to Grand Order ultimately sorting it out.
• The Starscream: She dislikes BB because BB is one-upping her attempt to be an absolute being. 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.
• Status-Buff Dispel: Sarasvati Meltout’s effect of "destroying the form of anything that flows" translated as stealing enemies' status buffs and giving them to herself.
• Stripperiffic: Her top half is fully covered but the same thing cannot be said for the bottom half. Ironically, in Fate/Grand Order she describes her outfit as "chaste" when it's anything but.
• Too Kinky to Torture: 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: For the Protagonist. If Archer is the Female Protagonist's servant, she is yandere for him.

Golden White Face — SPOILERS

The evil nine-tailed fox who is Tamamo-no-Mae's original self. In truth, she is actually Amaterasu, the solar goddess of Shintoism.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: In Japanese myths, Amaterasu is portrayed as being God of Good who only did negative stuff in response to her brothers' actions. In Fate, her association with Tamamo turns her into someone who can potentially become an Evil of Humanity.
• Asian Fox Spirit: 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.
• Ax-Crazy: She is the source of her Servant incarnation's Cute and Psycho and Clingy Jealous Girl issues — as well as Tamamo's general reputation as having been an evil monster — and is gleefully bloodthirsty when interacting with Hakuno.
• Composite Character: Probably the most syncretized character in the whole franchise. Firstly, Amaterasu seems to be composited with at least two other deities: the Buddhist god Dakini and the Japanese fox-goddess Inari Ōkami. From those connections, Amaterasu is connected to Tamamo herself. And by the time of the 19th century artists such as Katsushika Hokusai had composited Tamamo with at least two other fox spirits — namely the huli jing Daji, which is where the moniker Golden White Face comes from. While Caster Tamamo vehemently denies having been Daji, several Servants who fought Daji identify Tamamo as being her in Fate/Grand Order, which elaborates that 3000 years prior to the present Daji was an Evil of Humanity known as the "Beast of Collapse". Whether Daji and Amaterasu/Tamamo truly are one-and-the-same, Daji is a separate avatar of Amaterasu from Tamamo, or they are — as Tamamo insists — separate individuals who coincidentally happen to share the same appearance and powers is ultimately left ambiguous.
• A Form You Are Comfortable With: 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.
• Future Me Scares Me: 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.
• Humanoid Abomination: As a Divine Spirit and a canditate for becoming 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. Fate/Grand Order refers to Golden White Face as the "Beast of Collapse"... but this is a different Golden White Face who Tamamo was mistaken for, or so Tamamo insists.
• I Have Many Names: Known by the moniker "the Golden White Face", in Japan she was worshipped as the solar goddess Amaterasu and her incarnation was first named Mizukume and later known as Tamamo-no-Mae. While many assume Tamamo-no-Mae to be the evil nine-tailed fox Daji — who is also an Evil of Humanity known by the moniker "Golden White Face" — due to her evil original self, Fate/Grand Order reveals they're actually separate entities who just happen to be nigh-identical... or so Tamamo claims.
• Little Bit Beastly: Like Tamamo, she appears as a woman with fox ears and nine tails.
• Literal Split Personality: Tamamo was created by Amaterasu as a bunrei, and is thus technically a seperate entity from her while also being Amaterasu herself.
• Physical God: Golden White Face (Konjiki Hakumen in Japanese) — the evil nine-tailed fox-goddess who is Caster Tamamo's original self — turns out to be the celestial emptess of Shintoism, Amaterasu.
• Sinister Sentient Sun: Amaterasu is an embodiment of the Sun itself, manifested as a humanoid Asian Fox Spirit with nine fiery tails — though according to Nasu she would have appeared as a miniature Sun under other circumstances. She's also a bloodthirsty sadist disgusted by her repentant Literal Split Personality.
• Time Abyss: She is as old as the Sun itself — making her older and more powerful than the earthborn gods and spirits. in Extella she's noted by Tamamo to have witnessed the battle between Velber 02 and the Hero who first wielded Excalibur.
• Time Master: Owing to her immense power as a Divine Spirit, she is capable of reaching through time and space to drag Hakuno back to the Age of Myths for a face-to-face chat, and contemplates smiting her wayward future self via time-space shenanigans out of sheer disgust.
• Yandere: Caster refers to Amaterasu as having been one, and the source of her present Clingy Jealous Girl tendencies.
• Villain Respect: Amaterasu had originally intended to eat Hakuno, but their refusal to be intimidated and sheer audacity impresses her enough to spare them and send them back to the present.

CCC Fox Tail Characters

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.

---

• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: She's taller than a school building.
• Expy: Of Dark Sakura, specifically, if her bandages are taken as metaphor for the original Sakura's torment throughout the years.
• Floral Theme Naming: Named after the Protea Cynaroides, or king protea.
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: 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.
• In Love with Love: She's obsessed with the idea of love, but she doesn't really understand what it is.
• Meaningful Name: Her name is taken from the Protea Cynaroides, the largest flower of its Genus. Fittingly, as she is the largest of all Sakuras.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Because BB found Kingprotea to be way too destructive after creating her, she decided to seal her inside a cube and throw her into the Cage of the Fallen where she wouldn't be able to escape.
• Token Good Teammate: 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.
• Token Mini-Moe: Her inner self looks as young if not younger than Kazuradrop.

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.

---

• The Assimilator: Combining her Riding skill with her Transformation skill, she can assimilate anything to be her ride.
• Exotic Eye Designs: 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.
• Floral Theme Naming: She is named after the Violet flower.
• Heel–Face Turn: 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.
• Height Angst: Based on her reaction to Shinji's line about her height, she's also sensitive about it like Medusa was.
• Kick Chick: She has a tendency to use kicks because her arms turn into whips when fighting.
• Ms. Fanservice: 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 Ms. Fanservice of Fate/stay night.
• Mythology Gag: Her teaming up with Shinji is one to Fate/stay night where one of her base Servants was his Servant. Her tendency to mock him is a reference that Medusa really disliked Shinji.
• Not So Stoic: She tries to come off as serious but deep down she's sad that she looks like an adult and thus can't be cute. She even changed her hair to pigtails to get a reaction out of Hakuno.
• Sexy Backless Outfit: Her outfit doesn't even have a back, only barely covering her butt.
• The Stoic: She keeps a still face no matter the situation.
• Strong, but Unskilled: 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.
• Time Stands Still: Her id_ese skill "Crack Ice" freezes time in the area she sees.

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.

---

• Antagonistic Offspring: She considers BB her mother and is currently trying to eat BB and kill the person she loves most.
• Berserk Button: Bugs and imperfections.
• Big Bad: Turns out she's the real main villain of the Fox Tail manga who stole most of B.B.'s power.
• Body Motifs: Her mouth and tongue get a lot of focus. It ties into her Insect Eater skill and Pitcher Plant motif.
• Cannibalism Superpower: Her Insect Eater skill lets her use the powers of any Sakura she consumes.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: She spent 207 days torturing Hakuno in her Bug Space until Hakuno used his last command seal to summon Caster to his side. She intended to repeat the process later on, only to be foiled by Julius and Kingprotea.
• Expy: Of young Sakura. But once we meet her, her personality is closer to Dark Sakura and she's shown similar powers.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: She's an adorable Token Mini-Moe free from the fan service of her family that's currently attempting to wipe out all of humanity when not indulging in her torturing hobby.
• Fan Disservice: 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 the original Sakura's experience with worms and resentment toward Rin.
• Floral Theme Naming: She appears to be named after the Arrowroot (Kazura) flower. She's actually named after the Pitcher Plant (Utsubo-Kazura).
• Foreshadowing: 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.
• Incredible Shrinking Man: Bug Space is a special space that shrinks her targets to the size of a bug, afterwards she is free to do as she pleases with them for however long she desires thanks to it having a self-contained time zone.
• Informed Attribute: The Alter Ego of Kindness is probably the cruelest of them all.
• Irrational Hatred: 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.
• Just Eat Him: "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 A.I.s 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.
• Meaningful Name: She is, by origin, a virus-cleansing program, named for the pitcher plant — in other words, for "bugs" in the system to be dropped into and erased. Following her whiplash Face–Heel Turn, this is re-purposed for her entire new ''modus operandi''.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Her goal is the extinction of humanity.
• The Perfectionist: A big part of her personality is her desire to be perfect. 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.
• Plot-Relevant Age-Up: After eating Kingprotea she ends up looking like a teenager in comparison to her previous child form.
• Right Under Their Noses: She was pretending to be normal Sakura since the start of the manga.
• The Starscream: Betrays and absorbs seven-eighths of BB's powers before the start of the manga.
• Thou Shall Not Kill: Her origin of Kindness prevents her from killing Masters. She's trying to overcome this.
• Token Mini-Moe: The one with the youngest appearance of the Sakura Five.
• Too Much Alike: Her id_es Repulsion For One's Kin causes her to hate her fellow AI or anyone who reminds her too much of herself.
• Walking Spoiler: Virtually her entire existence in Fox Tail is a game-changer, if all the above hadn't made it apparent.
• With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: When she absorbed BB to get her powers, she also got exposed to the thing that BB had been using as a power source; all of the human malice that the Moon Cell had been dumping into the Imaginary Number Space. This combined with her already twisted love for humanity lead to her wishing for the annihilation of humanity.

Saber (Suzuka Gozen)

Master: Kazuhito Sakagami |

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

---

• Affectionate Nickname: She calls her master Kazu-kun; he doesn't like it at all.
• Back from the Dead: Her myth has her dying at the age of 26 and Tamuramaro traveling to the underworld and reviving her.
• Boring, but Practical: 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.
• The Ditz: She's quite the airhead, with Caster saying her swordsmanship is more her flailing around than a martial art.
• Dumbass No More: Her second Noble Phantasm, Shoutouren, greatly increases her intelligence. She even states that as a result of this Noble Phantasm, she can 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. 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.
• Flying Weapon: In battle, she wields one katana in her hands and two others with her mind.
• Going Commando: She has this in common with Rani and appears equally nonchalant about accidental flashing.
• I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: When she realizes Kazuhito will never be hers, she gives up on her dream of being together forever in favor of his decision to move foward. ...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.
• Little Bit Beastly: She also has fox ears and a tail, but (unlike Caster's) they're not genuine.
• Love at First Sight: 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.
• Mind over Matter: One of her skills is to levitate items she has on her body.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: 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, thus why she's siding with Kazuradrop despite seeing her brainwash Kazuhito as it lets her spend more time with him.
• Odd Friendship: She and Rani became friends because they both don't wear underwear.
• Poor Communication Kills: Suzuka never actually told anyone that she was faking her betrayal. By time Sakanoue no Tamuramaro found her, he was duty-bound to kill her.
• The Rival: To Caster.
• Seers: 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.
• Storm of Blades: As one of her Noble Phantasms, her first sword Daitouren.
• Too Much Alike: Caster and Saber are honestly nearly identical in their ideals of love but it only causes more strife between them.
• Willfully Weak: 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.
