"Servant Saber. Nero Claudius, I have arrived in response to your call! Umu, you have chosen the right one! You sure know how to tell the difference!"

The fifth ruler of the Roman Empire, vilified throughout history as a tyrant who earned her position through treachery and poison, and ruthlessly suppressed Christianity and the Roman Senate. It is believed the "Book of Revelation" from The Bible was written as a reaction to this situation, although more recent historians have questioned the veracity of many anti-Nero documents as propaganda; such as the famous belief that Nero did nothing but play the lyre during the Great Fire of Rome.

This Nero is a flamboyant, arrogant and utterly self-assured ruler who sincerely loved the world but demanded to be loved in kind, not realising that her love was selfish and could never be reciprocated. Despite lavishing her citizens with gifts and public works (some more ill-considered than others), Nero fell into despair when they did not rise to defend her against a coup d'etat, and committed suicide. As a Servant and polymath, her delusional self-confidence is so absolute that she forced herself into the Saber class (because it is widely considered the "best" Class) and can gain temporary mastery over a wide number of eclectic skills, as represented by her Imperial Privilege skill. Her Noble Phantasm even imitates the effects of a Reality Marble, one of the highest forms of magecraft.

She originally debuted in Fate/EXTRA as one of the three playable Servants. She appears as your main ally in the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem", and later has a minor role in "Abyssal Cyber Paradise, SE.RA.PH" where she's replaced by Gawain as one of the major allies. Nero is also the regular host of the "Nero Fest" events and she continues to play a role within its successor event "Battle in New York".

Abusive Parents: Nero's mother, Agrippina, is one of these. She forced Nero to drink from a silver cup as a child, which led to Nero's painful migraines and mental instability later in life. If not for Agrippina, Nero could have been a much better emperor. This is why her Migraine skill "upgrades" to Goblet of Wealth.
Achievements in Ignorance: In the final Singularity of Arcade, she resists the siren call of Beast VI/S because she wrote it off as another one of her migraines, which is especially funny because she never learns Beast VI/S is a Beastified version of herself. Merlin can't decide whether her willpower or her ignorance is more deserving of praise.
Adaptational Curves: Inverted. In Arcade, her bust size is much smaller to the point where it can be considered modest.
Antiquated Linguistics: Slips into these from time to time, particularly when using her Noble Phantasm.
Art Evolution: The second Nero Fest came with an update for her sprite and animations, noticeably her dress becoming a lot more billowy, skewing closer to her artwork, and picking up some of the animations she had in Extra, rather than a "generic" Saber set.
At the Opera Tonight: Invoked by her Noble Phantasm, Aestus Domus Aurea: Golden Theater of the Flamboyant, which summons a red-and-gold bedecked theater while she deals damage to all existing enemies, ignoring defense and reducing their defense for 1 turn.
Attention Whore: She just wants to be loved by everyone like she loves everyone else.
Balance Buff:
- Her Migraine was buffed to Goblet of Wealth in a Rank-Up Quest. It now provides an NP gauge boost up to 30% at max level, alongside giving her an Arts card buff when fighting on water-side or city field stages. This greatly buffs her viability since she now can get her NP up faster, and if lucky and fighting on the right terrain, her Arts cards become better.
- As part of the Lilim Harlot event, her Imperial Privilege is buffed to Imperial Privilege (Applause), which her another Arts Buff and a star regenerator for three turns.
BFS: Her sword, Aestus Estus, is taller than her.
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: How her Imperial Privilege works in canon. Since all roads led to Rome, so did all skills and trades. Thus Nero can gain virtually any skill that's not unique to a particular hero so long as she believes she can. So if she were to say, "I can definitely pilot this airplane because it's not that different from the jet-powered chariot I invented!" then she'd instantly gain the Riding skill that would let her do so. This skill is also why she's summoned in the Saber class, since she believes herself to be an amazing swordswoman and thus deserves to be in the best of classes, and Imperial Privilege skill makes it so. She can even learn skills like Altria's Prana Burst if she wanted to. There are a few limitations on this ability, though: first, there needs to be some basis for her to learn these skills, so she'd be completely lost if you tried to, say, make her cook, since she never had to do so in life and thus has no experience at all. The other limitations are the fact that her short attention span and painful migraines will make her forget what she's learned in time, forcing her to relearn them outside of her swordsmanship, which seems to be the exception to the rule. This is demonstrated in Fate/Extra Last Encore during her fight with Francis Drake, where she used Imperial Privilege on a wrecked ship to use it to combat Drake's own ship, allowing her to match the pirate simply because of the mindset of "I can, for sure, use this boat in order to win!".
Cleavage Window: Her relative lack of inhibition compared to Altria is shown by this trope.
Cool Sword: Aestus Estus: The Embryonic Flame. It's easily bigger than both protagonists and her and on fire from her second Ascension onwards.
Deuteragonist: She's the primary support character for the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem", which is built around Rome during her time being under attack by the Roman Emperors before her and her efforts to repel them.
Disability Immunity: She still has her Migraine ability, but because having an ability what would purely have negative effect on the Servant would be awkward, it not only gives her Mental Debuff Resistance when used, but heals her as well.
Doomed by Canon: An In-Universe example. She's often pitied by the protagonists during the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem" as they meet Nero in her prime well before she succumbs to madness and eventually takes her own life.
Double Unlock: Completing the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem" makes her summonable from the Story Summon gacha.
Dreaming of Things to Come: While being transported to the final battle at the Grand Time Temple from her office, Nero also experiences standing in a colosseum (the Nero Festival event), in the wastelands of a new land (her appearance in the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum" as Nero Bride), and in a place beyond the stars (her experiences in the Moon Cell).
Drives Like Crazy: In the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem", despite claiming that she's never helmed a ship before, she somehow manages to make a Roman galleon do a wheelie without any wind to help push it. Imperial Privilege at work, folks!
Dude Magnet: In the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem", Caesar, Alexander, Romulus, and even her uncle Caligula all show attraction to her and comment on her beauty.
Due to the Dead: Her last words were a comment on a soldier who covered her dying body with his cloak.
Expy: She's the first Saber-face to actually feature in a published work.^note She looks pretty much identical to Altria, but with a different sword, bigger breasts, and even shorter stature. Personality-wise, she resembles a mix between Altria and Gilgamesh, with the former's compassion and the latter's ego.
Future Me Scares Me: In the epilogue of the Arcade collaboration event, all ambiguity of how much Nero knows about her connection to Beast VI is assuaged: she's fully aware of her potential to become the Mother Harlot and it terrifies her, and her Materials spell out that she's been avoiding being summoned as other Classes (especially Rider) because of this. This confession fortunately comes after the Protagonist has "tamed" Beast VI/Draco, and Nero decides to subvert the trope and hear the story of her Beast self.
Giant Poofy Sleeves: Super poofy shoulders are probably the least ridiculous part of her outfit.
Giftedly Bad:
- She adores the arts and considers herself to be a creative savant on par with Apollo, Greco-Roman god of the arts. Unfortunately, all signs indicate that she was 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 theater devoted specifically to her own performances (likely the inspiration for her Noble Phantasm, Aestus Domus Aurea: Golden Theater of the Flamboyant), and when people started to leave in the middle of her first recital, she ordered the exits sealed.
- In Romulus's interlude, the people of Rome are so used to this that when she decides to put on a spontaneous public performance, an orchestra immediately rushes in to drown her out.
Guest-Star Party Member: She's the main party support in the game's "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem", following Jeanne before her in the First Singularity: Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragons Orleans.
Heroic BSoD: She goes through one after encountering her forebear Romulus, whose Charisma is so powerful it made her doubt her capabilities to rule the Empire.
Historical Gender Flip: Of Emperor Nero Claudius, starting the "Saber-face" trend. It's noted that she might be the ancestor of Altria.
Historical Hero Upgrade: While Nero's popularity with the people and later vilification by historians do match up with more recent interpretations of the historical figure, both Extra and her profile downplay the more unsavory elements of Roman politics and, more importantly, Nero's suppression of early Christianity. This particularly applies during the the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem", where she is notably more serious and competent than her Extra counterpart and is beloved rather than reviled by her subjects since the singularity takes place before she began suffering from her mental illnesses and hedonism. The Nasuverse's version of Nero was also stated to have contained the Great Fire of Rome to a bare minimum through swift and effective action that "exhausted the bounds of human intellect", compared to her infamous modern interpretation (that has also been disputed by historians) of Nero "fiddling while Rome burned". To compensate, Nero's mother Agrippina is made into even more of a villain than she was in history (which says a lot given how bad she was already), making Nero's actions more a result of her mother forcing her to do things she never wanted to instead of the historical Nero's unstable personality that was present even shortly into his rule.
Home Field Advantage: Her Noble Phantasm, Aestus Domus Aurea: Golden Theater of the Flamboyant, creates an "Absolute Imperial Zone" akin to a Reality Marble where everything is weighted in Nero's favour and her delusional self-image becomes reality, greatly increasing her combat ability and weakening her opponents. Within this area, she also gains access to new attacks such as Laus Saint Claudius. That's not to say she suddenly becomes invincible; however, as it's still very much possible for her to lose and even be killed while within it as shown by her Bride version falling to Cú Chulainn Alter in E Pluribus Unum, but it's going to be much tougher.
Hot-Blooded: If it's something that she's passionate about, then she will be passionate. Her art, her people's well-being, and her Master are things that usually cause this reaction.
Idiot Hair: Since she's a Saber-face, she has Altria's trademark curl, but hers is longer. She can be pretty ditzy sometimes.
Informed Attribute: A self-proclaimed "beauty in men's clothing", whose definition of masculine clothing is a red dress with a transparent skirt and a butt window.
Instantly Proven Wrong: In "Saber Wars", when she, Emiya and Tamamo-no-Mae seek out the crashed alien spaceship, Emiya worries that the owner of the ship might be hostile and they probably won't be able to communicate with them anyway. Nero dismisses him as being overly pessimistic and confidently declares that whoever the ship's owner is, she'll be able to understand them somehow (via the feelings within their hearts or a simple smile), as they are definitely a civilized person who hates war. She's attacked seconds later by a screaming, barely-comprehensible (like a Berserker) Mysterious Heroine X.
Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Unlike Altria, her dress doesn't convert into armor as much, and she remains in her Battle Ballgown all the way to max ascension.
Kind Hearted Cat Lover: Her Final Ascension art has her cuddling a lion. Despite her hedonism, she is also a very kind person who wants nothing but the best for her Master and her people.
Large Ham: This was how her people viewed her acting in her past life. She breaks out the ham occasionally during the War as well.
Leotard of Power: While at first her outfit looks as though she's giving the audience a perpetual Panty Shot, it's actually a leotard beneath her translucent skirt.
Locked in a Room: When her theater was first constructed, she ordered to doors to be sealed shut so that no one could leave during her Giftedly Bad performance. This incident carries over into her Noble Phantasm, which can't be escaped without either Nero's consent or just outright destroying the building.
Matricide: Killed her mother shortly before the events of the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem".
Misery Trigger: Just talking about the grail gives her a migraine; likely because she associates it with her mother's chalice.
Ms. Fanservice: Of the "Saber-faces", she has the most obviously titillating appearance (aside from the regular and Alter versions of Lancer Altria).
The Napoleon: At 150cm (4'11"), Nero is the shortest of the "Saber-faces" (barring Jeanne d'Arc Alter Santa Lily), and she dislikes being reminded of that.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: She drops her self-praise in the final battle for Boudicca, leading to them forgiving each other for what they've done.
Overly Long Name: Her full name, Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Since it's so long, she normally just goes by Nero Claudius.
Pimped-Out Dress: She apparently designed her dress herself, which is probably why it looks so silly.
Rasputinian Death: In her third Interlude, Nero reveals that her eventual suicide did not go smoothly. Even after slitting her throat in the desert, she remained alive for three days in feverish delirium before finally dying of exposure. This death is the source of her third skill, Thrice-Setting Sun, which grants her three Auto Revives for five turns.
Red Baron: "The Whore of Babylon" and "Fifth Roman Emperor" are her most famous titles in history. In the game, her title as the main character is "Emperor of Roses". She calls herself Red Saber occasionally, but she and Caesar are fighting for that title now (with Mordred, surprisingly, not getting involved).
Red Is Heroic: A Heroic Spirit in a dress that's almost entirely red.
Reused Character Design: The first onscreen "Saberface" to simply be a dead ringer for Altria, as opposed to another version of Altria. To explain the resemblance, Nero is stated to be a distant ancestor.
The Rival: To Tamamo (best seen in Fate/Extella and its backstory), and Elisabeth as fellow idols.
Rousing Speech: She has to give several of these to her army to boost their morale in the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem".
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Takes to the front lines to defend her empire in the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem".
School Sport Uniform: This is her alternate costume and it's played up for as much fanservice as possible in her artwork.
Shameless Fanservice Girl: True to being an Attention Whore, she likes her skimpy outfit as it is.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: She does not take kindly to Alexander's Armor-Piercing Question about the reason she started her war with the United Empire and goes on a tirade about it. Subverted somewhat in that she questions if he was right or not after their battle.
"Unnecessary... did you call this fight unnecessary? How dare you. I won't forgive you. It doesn't matter if you're my resurrected kin... or a wise ruler from the past... or a brave general from an ancient era... or even if you're a legendary king yourself... the only one suitable to be emperor is none other than Nero Claudius! Loved by the people, allowed to love them, wanted by them... There is only one! The one and only ruler! A shining star like so! Arrogant to carry all the burdens like so! Even if all the Gods of Rome descend and tell her to surrender to the United Empire, she'll never back down! How can I back down! Such is my life to believe in this philosophy, such is my fate! I won't back down, I will rule and I will prosper gloriously. I am, without a doubt, Rome itself!"
Smarter Than You Look: Nero is cheery, bouncy, easily distracted, and prone to grandiose displays of hamminess and hedonism. She can also be keenly perceptive when she wants to be and was a well-loved and effective ruler until her inevitable fall, with her actions to greatly limit the damage of the Great Fire of Rome being praised even by her critics for "exhausting the bounds of human intellect".
Something about a Rose: They pop out during some of her skills and when she activates her Noble Phantasm.
Square Race, Round Class:
- Square Character, more like, but still there. She's using her Imperial Privilege to force herself into this best and most glamorous of classes, and she can manage to hold her own, but the lore has suggested for some time that it's not really the class she'd actually be best at. She finally gives Caster a shot during the second Summer event, "Dead Heat Summer Race," and she immediately starts exhibiting skills she never has as a Saber, even with Imperial Privilege, most prominently a skill that has some kind of Beast relation.
- Side materials and lore have also suggested for a while that Nero knows Saber isn't best for her, but there's a purpose to her round classing beyond even vanity - her best classes actually bring her closer to her relationship with Beast VI, as Revelation seems to have been written, in part, about her and she'd be the Mother Harlot, Whore of Babylon when VI manifests. Rider should be her strongest class (it's what her legends are most associated with), but it's also the class where her Beast relation is strongest, so she assiduously avoids it. She's willing to go Caster for the protagonist, but that's as far as she'll go for now.
Stone Wall: She's very tanky with two heal skills and a three use guts ability. For a time, she was very popular for single Servant runs because of how much abuse she can take, and she's still popular for people who need a trooper who won't die. Furthermore, the fact she's an Arts focused Saber means she has synergy with Arts stalling teams, making her a Boring, but Practical damage dealer thanks to her NP inflicting a defense down debuff.
Stripperiffic: Her outfit does cover most of her, but it has a Cleavage Window, butt-window, and part of her skirt is transparent, showing her Leotard of Power.
Strong Family Resemblance: Caligula has commented on how she's the spitting image of her mother Agrippina.
Theme Music Power-Up: Her theme from Fate/EXTRA, "Everything is in Her Hands", plays when she invokes her Noble Phantasm, Aestus Domus Aurea.
Thunderbolt Iron: She mentions that her Aestus Estus was crafted from meteorite iron, when comparing it to Mysterious Heroine X's "star sword".
Verbal Tic: "Umu", an archaic variant of "yes" in Japanese used mostly exclusively by royalty. While she is not the only character to use it in the game, it is so associated with her in the fandom that it is left untranslated whenever she says it in the English version.
Weak, but Skilled: She doesn't really fit into the Saber class well and essentially is using Imperial Privilege to make her fit as much as can be done. This means she isn't all that strong, but thanks to Imperial Privilege, she doesn't need to be, as it allows her to match the abilities and skill needed to fight like a proper Saber would. Furthermore, if she is within Aestus Domus Aurea, she gets a decent boost in her power, allowing her to fight more evenly with her enemy.
Wholesome Crossdresser: While referring to Altria 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 claim is based on her skewered views, however, as the dress she is seeing wearing by default is her definition of male clothing.
Wistful Amnesia: Because she was actually alive during the time period the protagonists meet her, she's told that she'll forget her adventures fighting with them against Servants after they fix the singularity. When they meet her again after the "Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire: Septem" in Marie's Interlude, she has vague memories of meeting the protagonist and Shielder somewhere and has the feeling that she had met them not long ago.
Wolverine Publicity: Nero has become the face of the EXTRA series, something Tamamo's taken fault several times in this game with since she's been pushed aside in everything EXTRA-related in favor of Nero.
Wrong Genre Savvy: In "Saber Wars" when she approaches Mysterious Heroine X's crashed rocket, she says that aliens should be greeted with kindness, sincerity, and passion, since they are clearly civilized people who hate war and are "overflowing with romance, passion, and a taste of the future!" This is X's cue to emerge roaring like a Berserker trying to kill Nero, the red one (a Saber). This is mostly a one-off joke, as after the obligatory fight against Nero they become allies and by the end, X even decides to postpone killing her.
Yandere: Towards the whole of Rome. Nero loved her people, but her mental decline led to her expressing that love through destructive, oppressive actions until the populace finally turned on her.
"Nero only knew how to love one way. To demand, give, and burn away... Violently."

"Umu... I am back with a new dress! Call me Bride Saber, or Nero Bride!"

A different form of the Emperor of Roses. Due to a rebellion in AD 69 that forced her to flee Rome and commit suicide, Nero died without ever meeting her one true love. This pure-white form represents an innocent dream that was lost in the last moments of her life; a Nero who was never summoned within the Holy Grail War of a certain parallel world, and is still searching for her fated spouse.

This form first appeared as an alternative outfit for Nero in Fate/EXTRA CCC. She made her Fate/Grand Order debut in the "Chocolate Lady's Commotion" banner, and acts as an ally in the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum". This version in particular receives a swimsuit version in the second Summer event, "Dead Heat Summer Race/Death Jail Summer Escape".

Alternate Self: As mentioned in her profile, this version of Nero never met Hakuno in Fate/EXTRA CCC. She and Original Generation Nero are finally depicted in the plot as separate Servants during the Akihabara Explosion event. However, it's immediately clarified at the beginning of the same event that the Nero Bride there (called Akiba Nero) is not a Servant but rather a statue that OG Nero had commissioned and somehow came to life only to be revealed in the ending to be PHH Aphrodite in disguise
Ambiguous Situation: While her profile and materials present her as an alternate version of Nero the game own story and events have never treated her as one making it unclear which one is it, for example:
- At the end of Part 1 during Solomon all relevant servants who made their story appearance on each singularity (plus events) are summoned to help fight the Demon Pillars yet Bride doesn't make an appearance alongside the servants of the Fifth Singularity.
- During SE.RA.PH Nero, alongside Tamamo and Emiya, are set aside by BB at the beginning of the event only returning during the second part and in it Nero looks like Bride with no one treating her as a separate servant from the one at the beginning.
- In Akihabara Explosion when Nero sees Akiba Nero (a statue brought to life who looks exactly like Bride) she talks about the latter and the concept of different aspects of an individual being summoned separately as if there has never been a second Nero in Chaldea, implying that all the times Bride has appeared is just OG Nero changing clothes like how almost all summer servants are treated.
Art Evolution: The Fate/EXTRA CCC collaboration pre-event gave her new animations, which also increased her NP bar growth.
At the Opera Tonight: She can still invoke her Aestus Domus Aurea for Fax Caelestis.
Balance Buff:
- Her second Interlude rewards her with an NP upgrade, increasing both, its damage and the Burn damage.
- Her Stars for the Sky A skill was buffed via Rank Up Quest to EX-rank, now giving an additional flat NP boost. At max rank it provides 30% NP meter, making her already great skill even better.
- Her Love for the People A has also been upgraded to EX-rank via another Rank Up Quest, with the additional effect of providing the target a Special Attack of 20~30% against Heaven-attribute enemies.
BFS: Still wields Aestus Estus, the black and white-colored version.
Chained by Fashion: Nero adorns her fancy wedding dress with... shackles on her wrists and ankles with a padlocked chain around her neck like a collar. They gradually vanish as she ascends, except for the one around her neck. Her Material profile explains that this is a symbol of “what would be the most charming restraining tool for a woman?”
Cool Crown: A laurel wreath, just like any proper Roman Emperor.
Decomposite Character: In her debut in Extra CCC, Bride simply serves as an alternate costume for the original Nero, but Grand Order split them into two and gave her a backstory that is completely separate.
Demonic Possession: During her second interlude she recognizes the name and demonic source of power of a dragon that attacks you. She blinks and asks how she knew this information and then comments that she has episodes like that. Hinting at her connection to "Mother Harlot".
Fanservice Pack: The Arcade version of Nero Bride in comparison to regular Nero in Arcade. Nero Bride in Arcade has the noticeable bosom that Nero is known for, but what's makes the trope is the fact that the Arcade version of regular Nero oddly got a downsizing in the bust department to the point where she's the same size as Saber Altria. So, Nero got a Fanservice Pack with Bride... to bring her figure back to where she would normally be.
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Using a Buster-Arts-Quick Brave Chain had her spell "LOVE" with her sword slashes before her animation update.
Historical In-Joke: Her being a bride is a nod to when the historic Nero married a freeman^notea freed slave named Pythagoras and wore a bridal veil.
Idiot Hair: She still has the classic Saberface ahoge.
Insane Troll Logic: In the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum", she decides that she should be part of the group that's going to assassinate Medb because not only has she been on both sides of an assassination and her Imperial Privilege will let her imitate an Assassin for a short while, but more importantly Rama and her using the same personal pronoun and if they're in the same party, it'll throw their karma out of whack. Sadly this joke doesn't translate well, so she just states she and Rama are "too similar" in the English release without actually explaining why.
Jack of All Stats: Her skills can be used to buff anyone in her party, including herself, while she also has a respectable ATK. As a result, she can effectively play the part of both a support and a damage-dealing Servant. On the other hand, two of her skills have very long cooldowns and all of her skills can only be used on a single Servant at a time, making her less helpful as a main support than someone like Waver who can buff the entire party. In addition, her lack of emphasis on damage output means that she will lose out in raw numbers in comparison to someone like Raikou unless she uses all of her buffs on herself. Nero Bride's ability to fill either of these roles as the battle progresses still makes her a top pick in Arts teams, especially when paired with Tamamo-no-Mae, Altria Caster or the aforementioned Waver.
Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: She fights on the front lines with a sword like her original version, but she does it while wearing a luxurious wedding dress.
Leotard of Power: Her later Ascensions turn her outfit into this.
Misery Trigger: Just talking about the Holy Grail gives her a migraine; likely because she associates it with her mother's chalice.
Multiple-Choice Past: From her background profile, Bride is a "what-if" version of Nero if she never participated in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War instead of simply Nero in a new outfit. While she clearly knows both Robin Hood and Elisabeth in the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum", it can be easily explained as the three having already met each other beforehand, and Elisabeth and Robin having no reason to think that the Nero that appeared in America is an alternative version of the Nero they know due to the two having the same personality, so they assumed that she was their Nero.
Pimped-Out Dress: It's somehow even more ridiculous then her normal outfit.
The Power of Love:
- Love seems to have made her stronger. Compared to her red counterpart, her Strength and Endurance stats increased to B and C respectively.
- She gets the skill, Love for the People A (and later EX) which heals her allies and increases their DEF, and later a Special Attack against Heaven-attibute enemies.
Ready for Lovemaking: Her Final Ascension artwork is very suggestive. Giving the overall theme of her character and her attitude, that is very much the case.
Something about a Rose: She's still the Emperor of Roses, with white rose petals blowing in as she uses her Noble Phantasm and spurting from the wound she inflicts on her opponents with her Noble Phantasm until her visual update.
Stripperiffic: Her Third Ascension outfit is a corset and cape, and her Final Ascension art exposes her backside.
Theme Music Power-Up: Like her original counterpart, her theme (with a different arrangement) plays when she uses her Noble Phantasm, Fax Caelestis.
Thunderbolt Iron: Her second Interlude has her reforging her meteorite-iron sword. She admits it doesn't have a legend associated with her but she reminisces that "Simon" referred to meteorites as "tears of the stars" and "fragments of hope that even the stars themselves could not know."
Trailers Always Lie: She appears in the Fate/EXTRA CCC collaboration event trailer clashing with BB, indicating an important role for her but she never appears in the actual event story until near the end of the epilogue story.
What If?: This Nero had a much different version of history and then never met Hakuno, so she became attached to the protagonist instead.
White Mage: In comparison to the self-buffing and survivability oriented regular Nero, Bride can cast buffs on any party member, and her Aestus Estus emits light instead of the usual Flaming Sword. She still has an offensively oriented Noble Phantasm, but it's now single-target and inflicts multiple Status Effects as opposed to the original DEF-ignoring party-wide attack.
The Worf Effect: A pointedly stronger version of Nero, a proven ally in a previous Singularity, who comes and goes in the story mostly to show how powerful Cú Chulainn Alter and Arjuna are.
You Shall Not Pass!: In the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum", she pulls this on Cú Chulainn Alter within her NP in order to buy Robin Hood time to escape.
Zipperiffic: It become less so as she ascends, but it's still there.

"I've arrived! Shinsengumi's First Unit Captain, Okita Souji! Are you my Master? ...What? My haori? I... must have misplaced it..."

Captain of the First Unit of The Shinsengumi, a public order organization that was mostly active in Kyoto during the twilight of the Edo Period, and considered the cream of the crop even amongst this select group of master swordsmen.

She normally wears her traditional Japanese outfit to conceal her conspicuous original clothes. She has a cold side, but she's also a cheerful girl who is fond of children. Although she's a genius swordsman, she has low endurance and magic resistance.

She is first introduced as part of a joke in that Takashi Takeuchi was supposed to introduce a new Servant in KOHA-ACE, but instead drew another version of Saber. She debuted in the GUDAGUDA Honnoji event as one of its main characters and is featured again in all subsequent GUDAGUDA events. She also has a cameo in the second Summer event to hang out with one of its stars, her friend Oda Nobunaga as a Berserker. Outside of FGO, Okita has been featured as one of the main characters in KOHA-ACE's spin-off Fate/KOHA-ACE and its subsequent remake Fate/Type Redline.

Animation Bump: Okita got an animation renewal in October 2020 and a newer sprite.
The Artifact: The reason why Okita possesses the Riding Skill despite having no anecdotes of horse riding is because she's a Saber, which was mandatory for the class back then. This is also why her Riding Skill is only at rank E. As the years went by and new Servants got released, mandatory skills aren't as mandatory as they used to be, and newer released Sabers like Musashi, Muramasa and even her own comrade Saito don't possess the Riding Skills.
Badass Adorable: She's a scarily strong swordsman, but she's also quite cheerful and friendly, and has plenty of dorky moments.
Badass Longcoat: Her "Coat of Oaths" Noble Phantasm (i.e. the iconic haori of The Shinsengumi), which she wears in later Ascensions.
Badass Normal: Considering most Sabers (except her, Caesar, and Gilles) normally carry a Wave Motion Sword or something similar, it makes them this by comparison.
Balance Buff:
- Her first Rank-Up updates her Shukuchi "B" to Shukuchi "B+" that adds an one-turn effect where before each time Okita does a normal attack, Extra Attack included, her attack is increased by 20%.
- Her Interlude from the Interlude Campaign 17 buffs "Weak Constitution" to "Peerless Blade", which adds a 20~30% NP Charge alongside a one-turn 30~50% Crit Damage buff. This can combo with her "Mind's Eye (Fake)" for high crit damage or be used if you don't want to possibly waste Okita's Evasion.
Beware the Nice Ones: Okita is friendly, peppy, and adores children. She was also an infamously successful manslayer during the Bakumatsu era in the brief periods she was able to remain in combat. Best exemplified by one of her quotes at the start of battle.
"In battle, there is no good or evil... only killing."
Beware the Silly Ones: Her gag character status makes her come off as merely a joke character, with her trying to keep up with Nobunaga's antics and stuff like her tuberculosis being used for comedic timing. But at the same time, she was still a member of a rather ruthless Secret Police group who still operated with the best of her abilities. While this is at first shown with her battle lines, later GUDAGUDA events would show her becoming increasingly more serious with her "comedic" moments making her look more unhinged than silly. For example, when the rest of the Shinsengumi were discussing overthrowing Serizawa, Okita's reaction to hearing about it is her asking when they're going to do so with a smile on her face.
Bifauxnen: The fifth GUDAGUDA event introduces a Simple Spiritron Dress for her that gives her a ponytail and a hakama to go along with her haori, making it much easier for her to pass for a pretty man like Bedivere than before.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Briefly in GUDAGUDA Final Honnouji thanks to the special restraining "armor" (heavily implied to just be a set of underclothes) created by Maxwell's Demon for Kaiser Nobunaga, which also comes with the benefit of suppressing Okita's Incurable Cough of Death, though it doesn't quite work as well as the latter wants since Okita's consumed by a burning desire to destroy all Nobunagas (including her) and can't stop ranting about how she still hasn't gotten her swimsuit.
Breakout Character: Just like Nobunaga, she was popular enough that the developers of FGO promised (jokingly) to add her after they had reached the number of pre-registrations required for them to be in the game... then their event actually rolled around and was one of the early turning points for the game undergoing huge improvements, which cemented fan love for her even more.
Butt-Monkey: She's treated like a gag character who tries to be happy only to be interrupted by her Incurable Cough of Death. She's constantly denied of having a swimsuit variant (something that she's also aware of) until the 4th Summer event, and she's a character whose kit have stayed constant, not receiving any strengthenings or interlude until past the 5th anniversary. Additionally, when Okita Alter came to the scene, Okita can't help but get jealous that Okita Alter is healthier and has bigger boobs.
Clingy Jealous Girl: She is less than thrilled when Okita Alter starts to cling to the protagonist.
Cool Sword: In a twist, she's the only one of the Saber-face servants to carry a normal, non-magic (though well-made) sword,^note a fact that gets lampshaded in her profile.
"Um... I don't shoot beams."^note
Critical Hit Class: Okita is a self-sufficient Critical Star generator and user. Her Quick-based deck with high hit counts on her Quick cards let her generate as many Stars as a typical Assassin, which she can then absorb easily with Weak Constitution and then buff her critical damage by up to 40% with Mind's Eye (Fake), or 90% when comboed with Weak Constitution's Balance Buff.
Defeating the Undefeatable: Before their first meeting, Hijikata was effectively an unbeaten swordsman who would go dojo to dojo and beat up all of the trainees there until there was no dojos left to oppose him. And then the nine-year old Okita came to his life and defeated him in combat time and time again due to how Hijikata refuses to stand down. Hijikata considers himself to be the overall winner as he was able to rile up emotions from Okita, much to her chagrin of him trying to cover up his defeats.
Dissonant Serenity: Her interlude shows that she has no issues with playing with children the morning after she massacres an entire building full of people or executes her own co-workers. The other members of the Shinsengumi are unnerved by how carefree she can be even after killing so many people.
The Ditz: Shows shades of this at times. Notably, she only wears her beloved haori in her final ascension because she just remembered where she put it. She also fails to notice that Hijikata Toshizou is a Berserker until it is explicitly pointed out to her, despite how obvious it is that he isn't exactly rational in this incarnation.
Dog Got Sent to a Farm: In her interlude, she tells the children at Mibu Temple that Serizawa and then Yamanami have left on business trips after they've been assassinated/forced to suicide.
Eye Colour Change: In her cut-in while performing Mumyou Sandanzuki, her pupils turn white with black outlines, giving her a fiercer expression.
Expy: She is a Saber-face, making her one of Altria's many expies. It's an intentional spoof on how she doesn't really have anything to do with Altria and inexplicably has her face anyway.
Failed a Spot Check: She failed to notice that Hijikata was a Berserker for the entire Meiji Revival event, simply assuming that he must be an Archer or Saber, since his personality is still the same he was in life.
Fighting Clown: In-lore, Okita's stats outside of Agility are laughable for the so-called "strongest class" and she can be crippled by her Weak Constitution skill. She's even referred to as a "failure" along with Nobunaga during the GUDAGUDA Honnouji Event, and a good chunk of her time on-screen is just coughing up blood. In-gameplay, she's considered one of the most powerful Sabers you can summon due to her heavy-hitting Noble Phantasm, high attack stat, and a simple but strong skillset designed for critting hard and often.
Flash Step: She has the skill Shukuchi, which allows her to do this. She incorporates it into all her attacks within Fate/Grand Order.
Foil: The release of Okada Izo (as well as their clashing portrayals in Fate/type Redline) helps highlight their contrasting personalities, despite their both being shadow hitmen and their respective sides typically presented as being Mirroring Factions in many historical fiction surrounding the Meiji Restoration. Okita, despite having her own traumas as an assassin and soldier who died without fulfilling her mission, at least has The Power of Friendship and her True Companions to fall back on. Izo, by contrast, remained an isolated Manchild who was mostly been used and discarded by his employers—despite his side actually winning the war (and thus appearing more justified) in the end.
Fourth-Wall Observer: A shared trait with her friend Nobu, but she's not nearly as wall-breaking. Still, during "Dead Heat Summer Race," she's annoyed that the GUDAGUDA title card is thrown up at the start of Nobu's Team Formation cutscene ("This isn't that kinda event!"), she shows off her ability to change outfits and Ascension forms "to show off the difference between a 5* like me and welfare Servants," and later she's in the audience at the start of the race muttering about a Summer Okita that she expects will come out next year (which doesn't happen).
Fragile Speedster: Her A+ Rank Speed and Shukuchi skill means that she's nearly impossible to pin down. But her E Rank Endurance means that it'll only take one good hit to take her out of commission.
Friend to All Children: Her fondness for children is mentioned in one of her bond lines. This is actually accurate as Okita in real life was also mentioned to be fond of kids.
Fun Personified: She's a gag character from a gag manga, built from the ground up so Type-Moon could make fun of itself. Not only is she a completely unnecessary genderflip, she also looks like Altria for no apparent reason except that Takeuchi likes to draw her. Despite being a Saber, her stats are also rock bottom. Further, even when she tries to get serious, her Weak Constitution skill kicks in and makes her start coughing up blood. It won't kill her, but it's also incurable because it's become part of her legend. While latter GUDAGUDA events would start to shed light on her more serious side, there's a reason she's never made an appearance in the serious main story outside of her appearance in Solomon with other event-based Servants.
Gameplay and Story Segregation:
- In-lore, she's pretty much a joke because of her terrible health and general mundanity compared to some of the semi-divine overpowered freaks that make up the ranks of Heroic Spirits. In-game, her "Weak Constitution" (read: tuberculosis) is a powerful star absorption skill and her Eye of the Mind allows her to crit harder. Coupled with her high star generation and NP gain, she was for a time the best Saber in the game before Power Creep caught up to her - and "caught up to her" means she went from being the best Saber to merely "very good but not compatible with all the best supports"^note.
- Conversely, Okita is considered in-lore to be a natural enemy of Nobunaga, as she doesn't have the Divinity or Mystery that Nobu is advantageous against and can dodge her muskets very easily with Shukuchi. However, in-game, this is reversed due to class affinity, as well as the fact Okita's Riding passive means she's vulnerable to the Anti-Riding effect of Nobu's NP (something she wouldn't have to worry about in-story because of her general Fragile Speedster fighting style). Material books show that Okita is fully aware of this game-mechanic-induced reversal and is distraught over it.
- Okita has poor parameters, including a C-rank in strength which is very average for a Servant. However, in FGO, Okita has one of the highest attack stats in the game. In fact, she's actually third place among the Sabers for overall attack power, with Altera being second and Arthur and Sigurd tied for first place.
Guns vs. Swords: Discussed in a one-sided conversation with Nobu in Solomon's Temple, as the pair fight Demon Pillars. Okita demonstrates her swordsmanship and then promptly starts coughing blood again.
Handicapped Badass: Her Weak Constitution has given her terrible stats and a chance of simply collapsing in the middle of a fight and rendering her helpless. But she's still a Servant and a nearly unrivalled swordswoman who can pierce through virtually anything with her greatest technique.
Hidden Buxom: She's bit more stacked than you might think under that kimono, as shown by her swimsuit version. Material art shows that this is because she uses a Sarashi. And her Alter Ego reveals that she still has plenty of room to grow.
Historical Gender Flip: Not exactly a surprise for the Saber class at this point. Okita, however, is something of a unique case compared to her fellows: even in historical records of the period, the real Okita was noted as being very good-looking (and his tuberculosis probably "helped" him with the standards of beauty of the time, and Okita dying in his early twenties also helps contribute to popular perception) and as a result, many works of popular fiction depict him as beautiful in a feminine way, portray him with actresses or have even outright gender-flipped him prior to this. F/GO's Okita is similar to Sanzang in this regard.
Hitman with a Heart: Elements of Fate/type Redline were introduced with her update as well as the "Gudaguda Yamataikoku" event. While it was never avoided in F/GO, the update and characters in the event noted that she could be scary as hell in her Shinsengumi days and that her current more relaxed persona default is due to Chaldea and its Master being peaceful and kind.
Hypocritical Humor:
- In one of her new My Room lines, she earnestly welcomes Musashi as a fellow swordswoman... only to do a double take when she realises the implications of what she said.
  "Eh? Musashi-san was a woman?!"
- At the epilogue of GUDAGUDA 6, she complains that Mysterious Ranmaru X is one of the most absurd things she's ever seen^{Explanation (spoiler)}, only for Saito to point out how absurd her swimsuit form is.
I Can Still Fight!: Played for Laughs. Anytime she claims she's healthy and having a great victory, she'll claim this... only to have an Incurable Cough of Death soon after. Also played more tragically as these words are also one of her defeat quotes, reflecting how she desperately wanted to fight alongside the other Shinsengumi in life rather than remain bedridden due to illness.
Idiot Hero: Okita is bright, cheery, skilled... and kind of slow in the head. There's a lot of her lines in My Room where she assumes certain things... only to stop a bit, say "Eh?" (almost often enough to be a Catchphrase) and then realizes that things aren't as she assumes or missing out some details. As befitting as someone from a gag manga.
(Summoned) "Shinsengumi's first unit's captain, Okita Souji arrives. Are you my Master? ... Eh? Haori? ... It seems to have gone somewhere..."
(About the Holy Grail) "My illness can be healed? Thank goodness! Eh? Skills obtained as a Heroic Spirit don't heal? You said my wishes would come true!"
(Meeting Kojirou) "An unavoidable magic blade... Indeed, I, too, have a great deal of interest in his sword techniques. I would like to request instruction, but... Eh? Start by slaying a swallow? Hahhh... A swallow... You mean, THOSE swallows?"
(Meeting Musashi) "You're that famous Niten Ichi-ryū Miyamoto Musashi-san, right!? As another female swordsman, please take care of me! ... Eh? Musashi-san was a woman!?"
(Meeting Hijikata) "Oh, Hijikata-san. So Hijikata-san came here too! Eventually, Saito-san and Nagakura-san too... Eh? "That's enough"? Once again, you're not being honest..."
(Meeting Chacha) "So you're Nobbu's niece. Ah, I do see some resemblance. Eh? Are you asking if I'm the rumored feeble and worthless Saber? Who would say such a thing!? Eh? Nobbu said that? Well then, I'm going to go and slice her up!"
Instantly Proven Wrong: Anytime she exclaims her body's fine, Incurable Cough of Death will follow. Her updated voice lines now include a variant of that phrase where the cough doesn't happen.
Incurable Cough of Death: She often coughs up blood when talking, usually after loudly declaring that she's healthy at the moment. One of her new skill animations after her animation update is her coughing.
Instant Expert: She's a born warrior, possessing absurd natural talent at swordfighting (notably possessing an A-rank Eye of the Mind (False) skill, meaning she reads her opponent's movements to an insane degree through pure instinct rather than the decades of battle experience the True version requires) but low actual experience, as her health didn't let her use her skill as much as she wanted. She's even referred to as a "genius among the genius swordsmen of the Shinsengumi".
Katanas Are Just Better: Wields Konjiki Kiyomitsu^noteTranslation: Poor Kiyomitsu in combat. After activating her Coat of Oaths (which is reflected by her 3rd Ascension) it gets swapped out for the Kiku-Ichimonji Norimune, a famed katana that she is popularly believed to have wielded in life.
Last-Name Basis: She's always referred to by her last name "Okita" when she's not called "Sakura Saber".
Let's Get Dangerous!:
- Outside of battle, Okita is cheerful and ditzy, speaking in a high-pitched voice. During battle, she speaks in a much lower tone of voice and talks like a stoic, battle-hardened fighter. She only sometimes drops this side of her after the battle's ended.
- In the middle of the GUDAGUDA Honnouji event storyline, she temporarily drops her comic act when pushed into a corner, declaring her True Name and activating her Coat of Oaths, jumping twenty levels as a Support Servant for that one battle.
Meaningful Appearance: She wears Western-design boots in her First Ascension sprite. She swaps them for more traditional sandals when she begins taking up her Shinsengumi uniform.^note She continues to wear those sandals even when wearing her Shinsengumi hakama. Since her sandals are distinct from the classic sandals that Hijikata and Saitou wear, and she lacks tabi, her toes and heels are always exposed whenever she's not wearing her boots (as a Saber).
Medium Awareness: She breaks the fourth wall multiple times. Mash has no idea what she's saying.
Master Swordsman: Par for the course given her class, but Okita is referred to as a "genius among genius swordsmen" who was nearly unparalleled on the battlefield during her time and only fell due to her own terminal illness. Unlike the other katana wielders in the game, Okita specializes in the use of her own version of Hirazuki, a sword-style focused on thrusting that was developed by her commander, Hijikata Toshizou. Saito Hajime's profile specifically notes that Okita was considered among the best swordsmen in the Shinsengumi, a title not handed out lightly and only matched by Saito himself and their fellow captain Nagakura Shinpachi.
Odd Friendship: With Hijikata. Okita is an eccentric ill girl and Friend to All Children. Hijikata is a dour Colonel Badass and Torture Technician. Okita is chaste, friendly and cheerful. Hijikata is not.
Power Creep: Was considered the single best Saber in the game at the time of her release, but as the metagame shifted more towards Buster-oriented Servants with the release of Merlin, she has gone from being on top to being merely "pretty good." However, she rose back to her top tier position with the release of Scathach-Skadi, who revived the Quick metagame back from the dead.
The Power of Friendship: Her second Noble Phantasm, Flag of Sincerity, is effectively a small-scale Ionioi Hetaroi, summoning the captains of the Shinsengumi to fight alongside her once more due to their shared bonds of camraderie. However, their appearances and personalities are shaped by Okita's perception of them. Thus, Hijikata Toshizo will appear as a wicked man, while Kondou Isami is a far more trustworthy man. In addition, due to the limits of being summoned by a Servant, none of them have their Personal Skills or their Noble Phantasms. They can only be active for a short time due to having the equivalent rank of E- Independent Action, and the Shinsengumi technically don't have to respond to Okita's call. Luckily for her, she was very popular amongst her fellows, meaning that many will respond to her summons to fight alongside her.
Red Baron: Before her identity is revealed, she calls herself Sakura Saber. She was also known as the "genius among the genius swordsmen of the Shinsengumi" or the "Fierce Sword" per Saitou Hajime's profile.
Sarashi: Material work reveals that she wears this to cover her chest beneath her Kimono. Not in place of underwear, though; she just wears regular panties with a front tie (if you're wondering, they're black).
Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Her wish for the Grail is "to fight to the bitter end" alongside her comrades rather than end up bedridden again.^note
Shown Their Work: Although exaggerated in its effectiveness here, Okita's sword technique and the name of her greatest technique are all based on actual evidence.
Simple, yet Awesome: She has a very simple skillset as one of the first event-only SSR ever released^* but she still holds up thanks to intrinsically good base stats and effects. She has the honor of being one of the very few Servants to not receive any Balance Buffs since release (as of the 5th Anniversary of the game), keeping her skillset plain. When she finally got a buff of any kind shortly after and just before the release of the 5th GUDAGUDA event, all it did was give her an attack buff, but that buff compliments her so well that it works perfectly.
Simultaneous Blade Spam: Mumyou Sandan-zuki^noteLightless Three-Stage Thrust has the same "three strikes at the same time" properties as Sasaki Kojirou's Tsubame Gaeshi. However, her version focuses on attacking a single point, causing reality to collapse in on itself at that point. This is a case of Shown Their Work, in that Okita actually developed the technique by modifying The Shinsengumi's Hira-zuki^noteParallel Thrust signature attack invented by Hijikata Toshizo.
Sword Beam: It has been a long-running joke within Fate that Okita averts the trope to the point that she takes offense to Altria's claims that "Saber that can't shoot beams aren't Sabers!" in the "Fate/GUDAGUDA Order Drama CD". Her second animation update finally plays it straight, where the final hit of her Extra attack has her firing a quick beam when stabbing the opponent.
Third-Person Person: When feeling particularly happy or proud she discards her usual watashi and starts calling herself "Okita-san".
"It's Okita-san's great victory! Yes, my body is fine! I can still fight- cough"
Tomboyish Ponytail: Her Simple Spiritron Dress "Pale Turquoise Haori and Hakama" replaces her girlish ribbon for a gender-neutral hairtie and her girlish ponytail has been replaced for a less feminine ponytail, giving her a more boyish look. In addition to that, she now wears a hakama. The combination of the two makes it more believable for her to be confused for a man.
Too Long; Didn't Dub: In the North American localization, the names of Okita's "Shukuchi" skill and her Noble Phantasm "Mumyou Sandanzuki" are not translated. The official reasoning for this is that they are considered martial arts techniques, which are rarely translated into English.
Throw the Dog a Bone: After complaining about not having a Swimsuit variant during the 2nd Summer Event and the GUDAGUDA Final Honnouji event, she finally gets her wish in the 4th Summer Event (Even moreso, her voice actress channeled her character during the 4th Anniversary live stream event just to complain about it, since the event was held when Okita hasn't been revealed as part of the second batch of the Summer Servant).
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Saitou states in life Okita used to be a nice child that always smiled but slowly lost that smile when she joined the Shinsengumi.
Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Nobunaga are always bickering but they're actually good friends. In GUDAGUDA Meiji Revival, they don't want to fight each other despite being on opposite sides and Hijikata has to pressure her into fighting the Oda Clan.
Weak, but Skilled: In-story. Despite her terrible stats outside of Speed (an excellent A+) and weak constitution, Okita is a "genius among genius swordsmen" who is so ridiculously good with a sword that her signature technique collapses causality at the tip of her blade, allowing her to pierce through virtually anything and destroy things beyond the material level, which more than makes up for her relative low Strength rating. Then there's the fact that she also has a high rank in Shukuchi, allowing her to Flash Step into range to utilize her killing move and quickly dodge most attacks.
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: One of her bond lines has her wondering why she feels so strange around the protagonist, due to never having had that feeling towards anyone else in her life.
Yamato Nadeshiko: A subversion, since she appears calm and focused at first but wears her heart on her sleeve and can quickly turn into a cheerful girl depending on her mood.

Voiced by: Aoi Yūki (Okita Souji Alter), Yūichi Nakamura (Rengoku)

Illustrator: Takashi Takeuchi

"It's been a while, Master. I am Majin Saber, back from the boundless beyond. Hm? Wait a minute...what the heck's happening?
...''
Rengoku: Wh-what just happened? Is this some kind of joke?
Okita Alter: Are you...Rengoku? You're so cute now.
Rengoku: What do you mean, cute? What the hell!? I even sound like you, Wielder!
Okita Alter: Hey, I think I've shrunk a little too...Whatever. Please take care of both Rengoku and me, Master.
Rengoku: We really shouldn't just breeze by this. Hey, I think you're even acting differently, Wielder.
Okita Alter: You think so? Now that you mention it, you may be right, but maybe not.
Rengoku: Argh, this is nuts! Anyway, I'm really counting on you on so many levels, Wielder's Master!

Okita Souji Alter was originally a Heroic Spirit born to fulfill one magnificent task before burning out. But now that Chaldea is fighting in the southern islands, she has modified her Spirit Origin to match the summer environment, changing her basic status and receiving new armaments where she is now a brand-new Heroic Spirit. She is now a rebirth of the warrior who went by the name Majin Saber.

Who is the child she appears with, you may ask? That is Rengoku, the spirit of Rengokuken who was born when Miss Majin's blade was empowered by a certain Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. Her change in Spirit Origin has made it so that the spirit has now taken a physical form, dividing Majin Saber's physical form to accompany them. Though they wonder why they have materialized as a small girl who sounds like their Lord.

She debuted in the "Chaldea Summer Adventure!" event.

Ambiguous Gender: The game is not certain just what Rengoku's gender is. The sword has a male personality and talks with a masculine voice, but has manifested in the body of a little girl. It's to the point where this servant's gender is listed as "Unknown" (even though the gender of Okita Alter herself is clearly female here)
Anthropomorphic Personification: Rengoku here is a Touken Ranbu-style personification, being the spirit of Rengokuken given physical form while the blade itself is still in Okita Souji Alter's possession.
Bait-and-Switch: She's initially already in her Third Ascension when summoned but she's quickly reverted into her First Ascension after Rengoku is forcibly split from her and manifests.
Beam Spam: In her Third Ascension, every attack she does generates a beam. This is a reference to the famous “Sabers who can’t shoot beams aren’t Sabers” quote from the GudaGuda Drama CD.
BFS: Okita Alter continues to use Rengokuken like her Alter Ego version, this time discarding the complication of continuously unsheathing it by just keeping it unsheathed all the time. Rengoku themself wield a sword that would be considered a short sword to a regular human, but is almost as long as they are tall in their hands. This also doesn't stop the two of them from switching out each other's weapons.
Big Eater: Some things don't change. Okita Alter's first thought after killing an octopus is to take its legs for takoyaki later, and she's even carrying soy sauce on her. Rengoku immediately lampshades this.
Defrosting the Ice Queen: Rengoku hates all of the world for what it did to Okita, the Master included and it takes up until Bond 5 before they stop giving them the cold shoulder and start trusting them.
Literal Split Personality: The situation with the two is portrayed in this matter as Okita Souji Alter first gets summoned in Third Ascension, only for her and Rengoku suddenly splitting up into two individuals. This transformation is noticeable as Okita Souji Alter is both shorter and lighter (and less endowed) than her Alter Ego self, seemingly because Rengoku is inhabiting her Spirit Origin. She returns back to normal when using her Noble Phantasm or reaching Third Ascension.
Misanthrope Supreme: Rengoku is a downplayed and justified example, as they hate the world for what it did to Okita, slowly stripping her away of all that made her an individual to make her a weapon, so they only care for one person, Okita, and later two. This is is shown for how they refer to the Master, their lord's Master rather than their own, and in their Bond Lines, that centers not around gaining Okita's trust and deepening the relationship between her and the Master, she is from start to finish firmly in Bond 5 mentality, but rather around solely in gaining Rengoku's trust.
Power Dyes Your Hair: Combined with Power Makes Your Hair Grow. In her third ascension, the tip of her ahoge along with her now excessively long ponytail, that is even longer than when she was an Alter Ego, turn a brilliant shade of gold.
Sleepyhead: One of the skill activation animations while in first or second ascension will have Rengoku dozing off for a second before waking up and insisting that they weren't napping.
Split-Personality Takeover: Rengoku does this storywise during the Gudaguda FINAL event before this Summer Alt was a thing. A more benevolent version occurs with her costume during the Shin Yamateikoku event where she gains an ascension that's fully his personality, even in My Room. Her body's gender also becomes more vague.
Took a Level in Badass: Gameplay-wise, Okita Alter's Saber version is more or less a complete upgrade over her original version gameplay-wise. In addition to retaining her sky-high attack stat, her Majin Sword skill includes a standard attack buff on top of slightly weaker versions of her original Kyokuchi, which stack multiplicatively to provide a higher damage buff overall. Persistance has been replaced with Rengoku, which increases critical damage on top of Persistence's effects of increasing NP gauge and star weight. Lastly, Boundlessness has been replaced by Sun and Moon, which grants a 2-hit, 3-turn invincibility, removing her Glass Cannon issue where she was forced to choose between an NP damage buff and survivability. It also comes packed with an NP gain buff along with eight hits on her AOE Quick NP, allowing her to be a powerful farmer with the help of Scathach-Skadi. Her Noble Phantasm's pre-damage Quick buff and defensive ability strip are just the icing on the cake, making her an extremely consistent damage dealer even for boss fights and challenge quests. The trade off is that Okita Alter no longer has the many class advantages that she had as an Alter Ego.

"Servant, Saber. I, Prince of Lan Ling, have come to answer your summons. While I do know it is insolent for me to show up with a mask covering my face, I do hope you understand..."

Real name Gao Changgong, formal name Gao Su, he was a high-ranking general of the Northern Qi dynasty and the cousin of Gao Wei, whose incompetence as an emperor caused the Northern Qi to later collapse. He repelled the Turkic Khaganate with a force of only 500 men, and in celebration his soldiers composed the song and dance "Prince of Lan Ling in Battle", which is still performed in Japan to this day after it made its way there during the Tang Dynasty. Due to his extremely beautiful face, he had a hard time being recognized as a great warrior and so began wearing a demonic mask to the battlefield. However, his incredible ability and reputation led to his death when his Emperor, fearful and jealous of his capability, ordered his suicide.

He is working as a Servant of Akuta Hinako in "Lostbelt No. 3: The Synchronized Intellect Nation, SIN". He appears as a Rider Servant of Lainur Guison in Ordeal Call I: Paper Moon.

Alternate Self: The playable version of Lan Ling has no memories of the version of him in the Chinese Lostbelt. He needs to be brought up to speed during Yu Mei-ren's interlude, and all the Servants pity him for having to deal with Akuta's atrocious tactics.
Anti-Villain: In the third Lostbelt, he and Xiang Yu are Akuta's primary means of destroying Chaldea. But while Xiang Yu enters battle to mercilessly destroy anything the Emperor commands, Lanling Wang's loyalties are to Akuta alone. He remains courteous of Chaldea throughout their clashes and can't bring himself to assassinate the protagonist while they're watching the moon.
Benevolent Boss: His most notorious trait as a general, partially expressed in the game in his support Noble Phantasm.
Birds of a Feather: He gets along surprisingly well with Berserker of El Dorado, the two of them having a long conversation about their masks and struggles with having their strength recognized because of their appearances.
Bishie Sparkle: He can emit sparkles from revealing his face so bright that it could hurt enemies.
Blue Is Calm: The most striking color in his outfit is blue, and he provides calm, measured leadership, reason, and compassion to any group he's a part of.
Brutal Honesty: His close friendship with Akuta means he will not mince words with her. When she asks for his honest advice with how she should deal with the awkwardness in the relationship she shares with the Protagonist, Gao pointedly demands she put on some appropriate clothes first before they could have any serious discussions, in other words change into her first ascension instead of her Stripperific second ascension. After she changes, he quickly points out how selfishly and comfortably demanding she gets once she no longer has to fear people discovering her true nature and how it makes her look like a lunatic to everyone around her.
Cannot Tell a Joke: He's so serious and focused most of the time that most of his attempts at levity tend to fall flat, as people are used to taking his words at face value.
Cool Horse: He rides his white horse in battle, and is glad that he doesn't need to be a Rider for it to be summoned with him.
Cool Mask: It's gold-plated with horns and a blue jewel in the center. He stops wearing it in his Third Ascension, and it later gets featured on his bond CE.
Crutch Character: Despite being a Cosmos in the Lostbelt character, he only requires materials from Observer on Timeless Temple for all his Ascensions and Skills, making a great option for late starters.
Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: Referenced in his Extra Attack quote, as he chastises his foes for wanting to learn what's under his mask as he takes it off to weaponize his Bishie Sparkle.
"Curiosity killed the cat!"
Dance Battler: Yagyu describes Lan Ling's swordsmanship as "sword dancing" between Lan Ling's constant acrobatics and poised grace while sacrificing none of the weight of more traditional swordsmanship. Lan Ling says that he had no teacher and devised this style himself on the field of battle, as he was too busy studying military stratagems and commanding from the front to devote time to traditional training.
Decapitated Army: In life, his prodigious skills in battle as both a leader and a warrior were the only thing keeping Northern Qi afloat. Once the emperor forced him to commit suicide, the nation was quickly overrun.
Even the Guys Want Him: Up to and including Blackbeard.
Evil Feels Good: Parodied in Chaldea Summer Camp. He revels in becoming "Dark Lan Ling" under Xu Fu's influence and unleashes all his secret frustrations on his old friend Yu... which take the form of constructive criticism she can't refute and loving complements he knows will make her very self-conscious. Even after disabling him, he grunts out regrets he can't bombard her with even more.
Face Death with Dignity: He's amazingly calm and at-ease when ordered to commit suicide by drinking poisoned wine. Even though he could have easily chosen not to drink it or even take vengeance upon his incompetent cousin, he followed his lord's wishes to the end even as his best friend, Yu Mei-ren, begged him not to and offered to kill the ones who gave him this foolish command.
Fights Like a Normal: The only thing really supernatural about him is his shockingly beautiful face. Everything else comes down to his skills as a warrior and a general, lacking any kind of magical sword or mystical technique to turn the tide in his favor.
Foil: The Prince of Lan Ling acts as this to Xu Fu during the finale of the "Chaldea Summer Camp" event. Both of them care deeply for Yu Mei-ren and want her to be happy. But the Prince has been her close companion for years, does not mince words with her, and will even tease her for his own amusement. Meanwhile, Xu Fu placed her on a pedestal after meeting her and seeing her plight, becoming obsessed with granting her the release of death she longed for after 2,200 years.
Frontline General: In life, he was an esteemed military general who managed to break through an army of 100,000 soldiers with just 500 cavalrymen. He takes far more pride in his leadership skills than his martial ability and is astonished that he can't defeat Chaldea in their second battle even with the Lostbelt King's Puppet Warriors at his command.
Gameplay and Story Integration: While Lan Ling is a skilled warrior, he's far more invested in the leadership part of warfare. This is emphasized by his supportive skillset, offering a plethora of valuable party buffs as well as NP charge for himself or an ally. His Noble Phantasm is also non-damaging, instead neutering the enemy's offense by lowering their NP gauge and critical attack chance while increasing the attack and defense of his allies.
Heroic Sacrifice: An antagonistic version. In the third Lostbelt, Akuta is critically injured by one of Koyanskaya's bombs. To save Akuta's life, Lan Ling demands she drink his blood and devour his Spirit Core to restore her lost powers as a Xian, knowing full well that it would kill him. Even Akuta is aghast at this, both because of her pride and the thought of devouring her closest friend. But he insists she do it anyways to ensure that she won't be separated from her beloved Xiang Yu. She's clearly in anguish as she does so, and she wields her True Ancestor-level powers with seething fury for what Chaldea made her do.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: Despite his accomplishments in life, he believes that ultimately he was an unworthy Servant to Akuta in "Lostbelt No. 3: The Synchronized Intellect Nation, SIN" who failed her when she needed him the most and is part of why he's so willing to throw away his life to give her a power boost. Akuta disagrees with the sentiment and views herself as the unworthy Master to an amazing Servant.
Honor Before Reason: He's devoted to serving his lord at all costs and will never go against orders even at the expense of his own life. Even though he had every reason and every opportunity to defy the emperor's orders for him to die, he still drank the poisoned wine anyway because of his sense of honor. In his My Room lines, this is the source of a bit of grief for him, as he admits that the one thing he truly dislikes is the idea that his allies can't trust him, as it's what killed him in life.
Hypocrisy Nod: In the "Chaldea Summer Camp" event, he asks Yu Mei-ren to not be so nonchalant about their Resurrective Immortality and to be more concerned about the people who have to watch them die. He then catches himself and does a Verbal Backspace, realizing that he's the last person who should be saying that given how he died in life.
Hypocritical Heartwarming: He finds insults to Akuta's strategic incompetence unforgivable, but he never actually tries to refute them since he knows that she's not very good with tactics.
Ideal Hero: In life, he was revered as a man who is simultaneously kind and modest, as well as dauntless and brave. His men loved him and he faithfully served his lord to his dying breath. He's not remotely angry when he's ordered to drink poisoned wine, simply remarking that his life has come to an end and that he's lived it out to the fullest. Lanling's virtue and ability are actually what killed him in the end, as the emperor was so jealous and insecure about it that he ordered his cousin to die for the sake of his own ego. His boundless kindness and bravery made him one of the few men willing and able to get close to Yu Mei-ren, who cherished his companionship so dearly that it became the catalyst for his summoning after becoming a Crypter.
Informed Attractiveness: His lore mentioned that he was so attractive that both his army and the enemy's would stop to admire him. However, he doesn't look any more or less attractive then any of the more handsome looking male Servants or the more beautiful looking female Servants.
Interspecies Friendship: In life, the Prince of Lan Ling was very close to Yu Mei-ren, an immortal xian and high-level elemental. He never bore romantic feelings for her but always found her a joy to be around because of her oddities rather than in spite of them. Their mutual feelings of companionship persist almost 1,500 years after his death, serving as a catalyst for his summoning in the Chinese Lostbelt.
Irony: The Prince of Lan Ling and Akuta Hinako have very high compability due to their friendship with each other, even moreso when compared to other Crypter-Servant pairs. However, Akuta is absolutely terrible as a Master and cannot command him properly whereas Lan Ling is so loyal to her that he would not act by himself, even if it would benefit both of them. This is especially contrasted by Ophelia and her Saber, who both are incompatible personality-wise, yet are significantly more dangerous due to not only being the better mage and Servant respectively, but also because of Ophelia being the far superior Master.
Lightning Bruiser: He has A+ rank Agility and B rank Strength and Endurance. In-combat, his swordsmanship resembles fencing, but includes acrobatic flair like jumping on and off his horse or leaping past his opponent while cutting them down with a spinning slash. Averted in gameplay, since he's mainly a support Saber.
Loophole Abuse: When he launches an assassination attempt on Mash and the protagonist, he states that the current truce was only made between Chaldea and the emperor, not his Master or himself who never said anything about agreeing.
Luminescent Blush: When you reach his Third Ascension and remove his mask, he blushes in a rather adorable manner.
Magnetic Hero: His kindness, gentlemanly personality, and bravery make him quite popular when he's summoned to Chaldea, striking up friendship with everyone from Yagyu to Jason to even Blackbeard. Berserker of El Dorado also considers Lan Ling a Worthy Opponent and they have a long conversation about their shared complexes about their appearances.
Master Swordsman: In his interlude, Lan Ling's swordsmanship is praised by both Yagyu and Berserker of El Dorado, who both see Lan Ling as a Worthy Opponent through the strength of his sword arm. Yagyu is actually disappointed that Lan Ling cut their spar short, with Yagyu privately admitting that his blood was boiling enough for him to turn it into a real duel to the death.
Murder by Suicide: He was the victim of this in life, having been ordered by his cousin, the emperor, to kill himself because of said emperor's insecurities over the prince's accomplishments.
Muscles Are Meaningless: He has a very lithe physique suiting his Pretty Boy appearance, but he has B rank Strength and manages to cross swords with both Mordred and Spartacus and live to tell of it. Berserker of El Dorado, a warrior from ancient Greece and a demigod child of Ares, also praises the strength of Lan Ling's sword arm.
My Master, Right or Wrong: His brilliant tactical acumen would have allowed him to point out the numerous flaws in Akuta's plans to score a flawless and effortless victory. However, he's far too loyal to her to ever go against orders and suggest something different.
National Weapon: He wields a jian, a traditional double-edged sword whose design dates back to Imperial China.
Nice Guy: He was beloved by his followers as a Father to His Men, and he's impeccably polite and courteous to his Master as a Servant. Blackbeard spends an entire day following him around in an Interlude and is forced to admit that he really is just a perfect gentleman.
No Name Given: In contrast to the numerous named horses in Chaldea, Lan Ling's horse doesn't have an official name. Even the totally not horse Red Hare realizes that he forgot to ask if his horse has a name.
Not What I Signed Up For: He briefly confides with Akuta that the China of the third Lostbelt disturbs him to a degree as it's radically different from the one he lived in.
Occult Blue Eyes: His eyes are a haunting pale blue, which underscores his uniquely beautiful appearance in-story.
Older Than They Look: He's 33 years old, but don't look a day over his early twenties, at most.
Platonic Life-Partners:
- In life he was dear friends with Akuta, with her (despite still pining for Xiang Yu) begging him not to go through with his suicide and even offering to wreck bloody vengeance on everyone responsible if he only asked her, and he (while married) admitted that he treasured her presence in his life more than anything else and if he had one wish it would be to see her again. Their bond of friendship was so strong she was able to summon him using their kinship as the catalyst in an environment that should've made that impossible.
- In the "Chaldea Summer Camp" event, the Prince of Lan Ling has a conversation with the protagonist where he does nothing but ramble on and on about all of Yu Mei-ren's eccentricities. It isn't until Atalante Alter points out that he protagonist has fallen asleep that the Prince stops himself.
Poke the Poodle: When Xu Fu in Chaldea Summer Camp attempts to unleash his darkest frustrations and secret desires on Yu and Chaldea, he just deliberately makes her feel extremely self-conscious with sincere complements and loving constructive criticism.
Pretty Boy: He was famed for his beautiful face, to the point that entire armies on both sides would stop to gaze at it. To earn their respect as a warrior, he hides it behind a demonic mask, and it's even weaponized as his Noble Phantasm.
Random Number God: His third skill, Demonic Mask, provides a small 20% Arts Effectiveness buff to the entire party at Rank 10 while having a 60% chance to bolster his entire party's critical star generation and critical damage. His second skill, Vigorous Like The Breaking Bamboo, can avert this should it be raised to Rank 10 and used on himself, as can Ozymandias's Protection of Ra skill.
Red Baron: Like Edmond Dantès, he isn't called by his real name in-game but as Prince of Lan Ling (Lanling Wang). In fact, his real name is only mentioned four times: Once in his profile, once in a flashback right before he killed himself, once when Holmes deduces his True Name and once when he asks Akuta why she summoned him. Otherwise everyone, including himself, calls him by his title. And unlike Dantés, this persists to the official English translation.
Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: In Lan Ling's interlude, Blackbeard is convinced that Lan Ling must have some kind of darker side or embarrassing secret beneth his perfectly gentlemanly and honorable exterior. After stalking Lan Ling for an entire day, Blackbeard concludes that no, Lan Ling really is just an honorable and kind warrior.
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: He is notorious for being one of the most beautiful people in the world, but he's so darn pretty that it distracts his colleagues and subordinates. His hypothetical wish on the Holy Grail? To erase beauty standards, so people will stop fawning over him!
Square Race, Round Class: Akuta tries to use him like an assassin in the Chinese Lostbelt, but it fails due to incompatibilities with his skills, appearance, and ethics.
Strong and Skilled: He has great stats all-around, and is a skilled enough warrior to briefly take on Mordred, Spartacus, and Jing Ke at the same time, though he admits he's being pushed back and retreats before anything decisive can happen.
Support Party Member: Gameplay-wise, his Noble Phantasm reinforces this style. It does not cause direct damage, but it does cause debuffs against enemies while reinforcing the team's ATK and DEF. He also has a variety of supportive buffs, ranging from Critical Strength buff to increase of Buff Success Chance to Arts Effectiveness buff. This reflects his pride in his abilities as a commander rather than a warrior.
Taught by Experience: In his interlude, the Prince of Lan Ling says that his personal style of swordsmanship is one he devised himself in the heat of battle and perfected over the course of many engagements. According to him, he was too busy studying military stratagems and handling the administrative portion of his role as a general to devote himself to conventional training. Despite this, he's a Master Swordsman capable of being summoned as a Saber whose skills are praised by Yagyu, a famed swordsman himself, as well as Berserker of El Dorado.
Trailers Always Lie: His reveal trailer depicted him with two swords, but he only wields one when he makes his proper appearance in-game.
Undying Loyalty: So loyal that he would attempt to assassinate Mash and the protagonist on Akuta's orders despite his misgivings. Heck, he willingly lets Akuta drink his blood to power up, knowing full well that he will die in the process.
Villainous Friendship: More antagonists than villains, but Akuta and Lan Ling are true friends amongst the Crypter-Servant pairs, thanks to their connection in their past life. However, despite having such high compability with each other, they are a highly ineffective team because of Akuta being a terrible Master.
What Beautiful Eyes!: His demonic mask calls special attention to his shockingly blue eyes, and taking it off causes them to sparkle as part of his infamous beauty.
The Worf Effect: After previous story events and interludes emphasized his badass credentials as an incredible warrior and leader, he's held in a Neck Lift by Phantom of the Opera, who should not be nearly strong enough to beat the Prince of Lan Ling in a straight fight, to emphasize the peculiarities of the Singularity in "Chaldea's Thriller Night".
Worf Had the Flu: It's implied in Yu Mei-ren's Interlude that a major reason why he ends up losing in "Lostbelt No. 3: The Synchronized Nation, SIN" was due to Akuta being a terrible tactician. During a mock battle where the Master commands the Prince while Yu commands the Story Servants that he canonically fought he ends up faring a lot better until Yu calls it quits.
Worthy Opponent: Yagyu and Berserker of El Dorado both consider Lan Ling a worthy foe. Both of them praise Lan Ling swordsmanship and crossing swords with him gets Yagyu's blood boiling enough to nearly turn it into a duel to the death.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In the flashback depicting the last moments before his suicide, he outright name-drops the trope to show he understands why his Emperor is ordering his death.
You Shall Not Pass!: In the "Chaldea Summer Camp" event, the Prince saves the rest of the heroes from being captured by Xu Fu's minions by staying behind to hold the line, getting captured in the process.

Rama

Seventh Avatar of Vishnu

^{April Fool's Fate/Grail League}

Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro

"Servant, Saber. I am the Great king of Kosala, Rama. It's okay, leave everything to me!"

The incarnation of the god Vishnu and hero of a great Indian epic, setting out to save his consort Sita from the fearsome demon Ravana. This version is the manifestation of Rama's wish to return to his youth, long before a blunder cost him any semblance of joy with Sita due to a curse.

He debuted as an ally in the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum", and again in "Lostbelt No. 4: Saṃsāra of Genesis and Terminus, Yuga Kshetra". He also appears in the Moonlight/Lostroom OVA, where he was a brief antagonist who wanted to have all of Humanity be in a caste system that decided their role at birth.

Amazing Technicolor Population: Surprisingly averted, considering Rama is almost always depicted with blue skin in illustrations.
Animation Bump: Gets one with the release of Yuga Kshetra that allows him to show off his full arsenal of weaponry.
Badass Adorable: Is summoned in his early teens, making him physically younger looking than most other Servants. He can still stalemate Karna in a fight.
Balance Buff: The Rank Up Quest Campaign 13 buffs his NP, increasing its damage and allowing him to apply a 3-turn Buster Resistance Down after use (allowing a Buster Brave Chain to hit even harder) as well as decreasing the NP gauge if it has the Demon trait..
Critical Hit Class: He's considered one of the best SR Sabers because despite his overly specialized Noble Phantasm, his first skill increases his star absorption by 500% and double his critical damage. Making it even better is that the cooldown is only four turns at max level.
Demon Slaying: His Noble Phantasm, the Brahmastra, is made for it, and it commands "absolute power" when facing demons. This makes him ideal against oni such as Ibaraki-douji.
Determinator: After getting a lethal hit from Cú Chulainn (Alter), he pushes on through the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum" in order to save Sita. Once he finally saves her from Alcatraz does he lose strength and he prepares to die. Sita instead gives up her own life to save him.
Difficult, but Awesome: Rama, as far as Sabers go, is one of the harder Servants to invest in because he has a very specific role in combat as an Critical Hit Class with a somewhat poor ability to generate critical stars for himself naturally, and can easily seem overshadowed by other 4* Sabers like Gawain and Lancelot. With a bit of work and team setting up, Rama can absolutely devastate enemy Servants, and take advantage of a good Noble Phantasm to deal some of the best damage available.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Looks very feminine (including some very impressive hips) and has an equally feminine voice.
Fiery Redhead: A bit cheeky for someone who goes by titles such as the "Lord of Virtue".
Gameplay and Story Integration: A part of Rama's lore involves how he and his wife Sita are cursed to be separated to the point where they have a personal skill pertaining to said curse and that under normal circumstances they cannot be summoned together. As playable Servants, Rama is only available in the mobile version of Fate/Grand Order while Sita is only available in the Arcade version.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: In his Interlude, he inadvertently admits to Vishnu that he has completely forgotten about his second Noble Phantasm, Vishnu Baazoo, something he tries to salvage by claiming that he hasn't met an opponent that would warrant him to draw out his other weapons. While this works well enough with his original attack animations, his Animation Renewal makes him utilize weapons created out of electricity more than Brahmastra, something that in hindsight makes his Interlude not make as much sense as it did previously.
Growing Up Sucks: He prefers his youth self because that era is his prime, where he went demon-slaying, glory-seeking, and princess-saving as a way to show his love to his wife Sita, and wasn't a Slave to PR who exiled his faithful spouse because his people were vindictive.
Hartman Hips: A very weird example and perhaps one of the only male examples of this trope ever. Rama has a rather noticeable pair of child-bearing◊ hips◊, probably due to being one of multiple avatars of the same god, one of which is a woman.
Heroic Willpower: He's explicitly only able to survive Gáe Bolg's curse on his heart for so long due to his sheer willpower.
I Am Not Left-Handed: Summoned without his full power, but even so he's still an equal to Karna, assuming he isn't bothered by injuries. Saber isn't even his best class, but he's still one of the top examples seen so far.
"Leave Your Quest" Test: The final trial of his interlude has a Sita look-alike promise they can be together if he breaks his contract with the protagonist and gives up on restoring humanity. He refuses, having learned his lesson on abandoning the people he cares about.
Lookalike Lovers: Him and Sita look very alike. It does kind of make sense, as they are somewhat related (Rama being an avatar of Vishnu and Sita of Lakshmi, who is both Vishnu's wife and part of his soul). Sita even says that they are both Rama. The out-of-universe reason is because their artist initially didn't realize Sita was supposed to be Rama's wife and thought she was meant to be Rama transformed into a girl, resulting in Sita's design looking very similar to his.
Master Archer: While Rama is proficient at arms in general, his true skills lie in archery. However, the curse of separation between him and Sita means he can't be summoned as an Archer, as that ritual will always summon Archer Sita instead.
Master of All: In F/GO Material III, it's explained that his second NP is his arsenal of weapons. He can use his spear and bow-like Noble Phantasms even as a Saber, making him like all three of the Three Knight Classes in one. Given that he's already on par with Karna as a Saber, this makes him both very deadly and versatile.
My Greatest Failure: How he sees what he did to Sita when he chose his people over her.
Official Couple: As in the original myth, he and Sita are in love. Also like the original myth, they've had quite a bit of trouble actually being together.
Oh, Crap!: His reaction during his interlude when Vishnu, disappointed for his lack of use of his other Noble Phantasm Vishnu Baazoo, decides to take it away and also his Brahmastra.
Red Baron: Refers to himself as the "Rightful King of Heaven and Earth" in his My Room lines.
Rule of Three: During his interlude, Vishnu threatens with taking away his Noble Phantasms, but then changes his mind and decides to make him complete three trials. This rule is half of how he deduces Sita offering to be together and she telling him that Lord Vishnu managed to lift the curse that keeps them apart is a lie. He has yet to pass the third trial that Vishnu spoke about.
Shock and Awe: His animation update gave his attacks powerful electric effects.
Situational Sword: His Noble Phantasm deals increased damage to enemies with the Demonic trait. While very few Servants have that trait, it's a very common one on opponents that end up becoming mini-bosses or Elite Mooks. Post Rank Up Quest, it also inflicts NP Charge Down on those with the Demonic trait.
Smug Super: Genial as he is, Rama struggles with a humongous ego that, similar to Gilgamesh's, prevents him from taking any fight too seriously until it's too late.
Square Race, Round Class: By his own admission, he's better at archery than swordsmanship, so he'd be at his best as an Archer. However, Sita only qualifies as an Archer, so in the vain hope of reuniting as Servants, Rama intentionally manifests as a Saber to leave the Archer class vacant for her.
Star-Crossed Lovers: A curse prevents Rama and Sita from reuniting. When he finally finds her in the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum", he collapses from his wounds and she ends up giving her life to save him. Which is why whenever he gets summoned for a Holy Grail War, he prefers to be a Saber so Sita who can be an Archer has a chance at meeting him again.
- Though apparently not even being summoned in separate Classes would help as, only one of them can be summoned as "Rama" per normal Holy Grail War. Singularities are strange enough affairs that they can be summoned at the same time, but something will cause it so they never meet regardless.
- To rub salt in the wound, the one time Sita actually appeared to participate in a Holy Grail War was in the Arcade version, where Rama wasn't playable in that continuity.
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: As part of his Noble Phantasm, where he spins it so much it basically turns into a glowing Kienzan. It's supposed to be an arrow, but Rama made it into a sword when summoned as Saber more or less only because he thinks it's cool. Maybe an allusion to Vishnu's own weapon of choice, which is basically a giant circular saw blade.
Trademark Favorite Food: Bananas; he can be seen chewing on one during his updated skill animation. It's both a reference to the Ramayana (as the Monkey King Hanuman is one of his greatest allies), and this game (as his Valentines return gift and because his anti-demon NP makes him eat oni — such as Ibaraki-douji — for breakfast).
Willfully Weak: He's stronger as an Archer, but because Sita also qualifies for that class he always tries to be summoned as a Saber instead in case she shows up. Despite this weakening, his Saber incarnation can fight Karna to a standstill in the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum".
Worf Barrage: In "Lostbelt No. 4: Saṃsāra of Genesis and Terminus, Yugakshetra", his Brahmastra doesn't even scratch God Arjuna. Arjuna wasn't even trying to defend himself, it simply bounced off him while he was charging his own attack.
The Worf Effect: He's noted to be strong enough to stalemate Karna, but the very first scene in the "Fifth Singularity: North American Myth War: E Pluribus Unum" has him getting the shit kicked out of him by Cú Chulainn Alter and struck with Gáe Bolg's curse to the heart to set the stakes for the inevitable battle with the Berserker.

"Servant, Saber! It’s Roland! A toned bod, serious strength, handsome face, and a penchant for stripping! As soon as Master gives the okay, it’s all coming off!"

One of the members of Charlemagne's Twelve Paladins, and probably the one member you have heard of. There are many things you can say about Roland, was it his virtuous personality who will strike down those who are too stubborn to accept his offering of peace, his indestructible skin or the legendary sword Durendal. If he is on your side, you are surely to achieve victory, even if he were to strip down naked!

...Of course if you were to ask any of his fellow Paladins what kind of person Roland is, you would realize that he has few screws loose on his head. Normally this means that he does outrageous things to achieve his goals and insisting to go naked whenever he can. But if a beautiful maiden such as Angelica would be involved, he will drop everything to chase after them. And if they would reject Roland, then he will most likely lose his sanity and go on a rampage. But as long as his weakness for women or his honor doesn't get in his way, you can surely rely on him.

He, or rather remnants of his emotions, appear in Astolfo's Interlude. His first main story appearance is in "Parting Memory Manifestation Realms, Traum".

The Ace: He was the leader of Charlemagne's Twelve Paladins and the mightiest warrior of the group, to the point that Charlemagne's profile says that Roland would win in a head-on clash between them.
Achilles' Heel:
- Similarly to the actual Achilles, Roland possesses an extremely tough body that grants him Nigh-Invulnerability to attacks except for the soles of his feet. Though given his strength and skill, most combtants would be hard-pressed to exploit it.
- Roland also falls in love extremely easily and is Not Good with Rejection, having gone insane after learning that Angelica, the love of his life, married another man. As such, he's described as a "surefire win" in most Holy Grail Wars unless there are attractive women present. The chances of there not being a single beautiful woman present are, given the franchise's history, slim to none. Gameplay-wise, this is represented by his Bitter Tears from a Love of Love C, which gives him a three turn debuff that lowers his charm resistance by 50% in exchange for a Buster performance buff while removing his debuffs and the enemies buffs.
Anchors Away: His profile mentions a legend of him beating an orc by the seaside with an anchor, which comes up in his Extra Attack where he pulls out an anchor to attack with.
Berserk Button: He went insane after Angelica rejected him and married another man in the Orlando Furioso. As a Servant, his ability to quickly fall in love with beautiful women and inability to take rejection is one of his two biggest Achilles Heels.
Blow That Horn: Roncevaux Olifant: Heavily-Delayed Horn, is the hunting horn he blew in Roncevaux to alarm Charlemagne at the cost of reducing his brain to mush, even if he didn't want to use it. He can blow the horn to create a break in any situation, but it will damage Roland the harder he blows into it.
Breaking Old Trends: Previous playable versions of the Twelve Paladins have been largely Quick-focused. Roland, however, is the first Paladin to not be Quick-focused as he is instead Buster-focused.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: He's the strongest, unbreakable leader of the Twelve Paladins wielding a holy sword held in the same regard as Excalibur. He's also a vain Casanova Wannabe and a goofball eager to strip down whenever possible to the point that Astolfo looks like the Straight Man between them.
Cast from Hit Points: His third skill is quite loaded: it grants him up to 20 critical stars, buffs his star absorption, charges his NP gauge by 10%, and has an extremely short cooldown of 3 turns at max level, all for the low cost of 500 HP.
Casanova Wannabe: The fake Roland formed from his leftover emotions instantly flirts with Mash. Mash turns him down since she doesn't like men who run around naked. His profile mentions that he falls in love extremely easily, as his mad chase for love in the Orlando Furioso is what led him to abandon his post and then lose his sanity over being rejected.
Cloudcuckoolander: Just like his underling Astolfo, he's a little weird, which is why he encouraged Astolfo to wear women's clothing. Notably, the Roland remnant that the party engages in Astolfo's Interlude does insane things that traumatize the civilians around him (including climbing and mounting a saintly statue and yelling out that he's "the king of the world" while naked) and Astolfo does not skip a beat or ever think that they're chasing a fake instead of the real Roland. As a Servant, he's prone to stripping off his clothes even when he isn't insane, declaring that he'll take it all off the minute his Master gives him the okay. Charlemagne has to order him to stop stripping while they're having a conversation in his My Room lines.
Composite Character: Of the Roland found in Orlando Furioso and The Song of Roland. Having the eccentricities of the former and, as the Fate/Apocrypha manga adaptation showed, the tragic demise of the latter.
Cool Sword: Durendal, an indestructible sword imbued with numerous holy relics, making a powerful and practical conventional and conceptual weapon. It's even able to enact miracles if provided enough energy, though the cost for doing such a thing is incredibly high.
Did Not Get the Girl: Roland along with everybody else who fell for Angelica is this, as she falls in love and marries Medoro, a wounded foot soldier.
Early-Bird Cameo: His appearance in Astolfo's Interlude was mainly to give out a design to him, with him technically not appearing in it in person. It would take them years for him to finally become relevant in Traum.
Everyone Has Standards: Roland is quick to insist on stripping down every chance he gets, but he also respects other people's wishes to not to see him naked. If one out of ten people wouldn't want to see him naked, then that one vote is worth eight votes.
Extreme Omnivore: According to Astolfo while tracking Roland through the wasteland, first Roland climbed a tree and ate a bird's egg raw, then he fought and ate a wyvern raw. But then he got food poisoning from the raw wyvern meat and threw it back up.
Heroes Prefer Swords: He wields the Durendal.
Honor Before Reason: As in The Song of Roland, Roland did not blow his horn to call for reinforcements from Charlemagne above the pleas of his ally and fellow Paladin Oliver until it was far too late and his allies were routed to a man. While the song indicates that Roland was simply too prideful and was afraid of being called weak, his profile adds an additional element to this. Roland privately admits that he was reluctant to sound the horn because it would mean the death of his stepfather Ganelon, whose betrayal was unthinkable to Roland.
Hypocritical Humor: Roland tells Saber Astolfo not to make a fool of himself... even though Roland is even more cuckoo than Astolfo and is prone to stripping naked at a moment's notice.
Lighter and Softer: Notably, while his remnant still goes on a nude rampage, he doesn't kill any humans like his literary counterpart did.
Mr. Fanservice: Eccentric behavior and questionable fashion sense aside, Roland is still a handsome, well-built man who fights half-(or fully) naked.
My Greatest Failure: One of only things what can cause Roland to mellow down is him reminiscing his fall in Roncevaux, as his refusal to blow the olifant due to his honor meant that he died without achieving anything with his own death.
Naked People Are Funny: Astolfo has teased him before for running around naked. His debut in Astolfo's interlude has him run around naked and harass French townspeople. When given a description of Beowulf walking around half-naked, the protagonist immediately assumes it's Roland. His playable version continues this gag, as he's the only one of the Paladins to lose armor upon Second Ascension^note while his Bond CE shows off his bare legs and is titled "Ballsack Sunning". Charlemagne also demands he stop stripping in a middle of a conversation.
Not Good with Rejection: When the love of his life Angelica rejected him due to him being merely a knight, Roland went mad, stripped naked and started rampaging all around France. When Mash rejects the remnant, this combined with Astolfo obliviously pouring salt on the wound causes it to declare they can all die together, transforms into a Huge Ghost, and goes on the attack.
Proud Beauty: As part of his Casanova Wannabe tendencies, Roland is rather vain, bragging about his handsome face and muscular body while preparing to strip all his clothes off the moment he gets the go-ahead. He's confused when the protagonist isn't impressed by him removing his shirt as part of his Ascensions.
Ret-Gone: To break into Revenge Realm's castle which Retribution Gate is being constantly reinforced by Casters, Roland offers his existence to Durendal's hilt so that it will create a miracle that will open the gate. Doing this not only kills Roland, but also erases everyone's memories and records of him even being in the Singularity.
The Rival: To Mandricardo, but it's chiefly one-sided on Mandricardo's end. Roland only knows him as an arrogant child who would go around swinging Durendal around like a toy, not knowing about the Humble Pie he had eaten after becoming a Heroic Spirit. When you tell him how Mandricardo was like in Atlantis, Roland gives his respect to him.
Super-Toughness: Roland is blessed with a body that is hard as diamonds, meaning that most conventional weapons are useless against him. The only weak spot in his body are his soles, though how one should approach this weakness depends on one's tactics. In gameplay, his Diamond Body skill grants him one-turn Invincibility and also one-turn Defense Up that maxes out at 100%, meaning that hurting him during that turn is really hard.
Unbreakable Weapons: The basic idea behind Durendal: Ultimate Unbroken Hallow, is that it cannot break. Even when Roland was trying to shatter it by slamming it into a mountain, all it did was split the mountain in two. And here in Fate, the then-called Durindana was used by Hektor and Mandricardo to block Anti-Planet Noble Phantasm arrows from Lostbelt Artemis without any damage done to the sword while the wielders themselves lost an arm or were outright disintegrated respectively.
Walking Shirtless Scene: While Roland does decide not to strip fully naked, he does remove his shirt after First Ascension.

"Saber-class Servant, Ryougi Shiki. I have answered your summons. ...Hehe, I wonder if this is good enough? I know there's a limit to being unique, but I am counting on you Master."

The true form of Ryougi Shiki and the embodiment of the Spiral of Origin. She has a completely different personality from the Shiki who wears a leather jacket over a kimono. If Ryougi Shiki is a girl named "Shiki", this individual is a woman named "Ryougi Shiki". Since she is not something that can come out in this world, she continues to sleep within Shiki from her birth until her death. "Shiki" cannot perceive "Ryougi Shiki", and "Ryougi Shiki" also cannot take the place of "Shiki".

Despite being listless, she is gentle. An invincible elder sister who knows everything, yet doesn't say anything meaningful and enjoying meaningless talk. She is an exceedingly feminine character, but her being is like a little girl. So her Master won't feel saddened when they wake up from the dream and disappear from her side, she - who is nothing more than an illusion - will not leave behind any meaningful memories.

She debuted in Garden of Order as a momentary ally and was the event's limited Servant.

Art Evolution: Garden of Order -revival- came with a slight update to her animations.
Anthropomorphic Personification: The Kara no Kyoukai light novels and Word of God state Shiki's body has a connection deep to the Akasha, the Spiral of Origin and the source of everything in the Nasuverse, so deep that she can even be considered a physical manifestation of it.
Balance Buff:
- Her NP was buffed via a Rank-Up Quest in honor of the Arcade crossover with The Garden of Sinners. The buff now gives her a team-wide 10% NP refund, which greatly helps her usefulness as if she uses her NP on a Arts chain, she can, with some minor CE help, regain most of her NP back so she can use it again. This helps her to be a strong AoE Arts NP spammer that very few Sabers can actually accomplish. The damage of her NP has also significantly improved.
- Shiki would be given another Rank Up Quest for the 7th anniversary, specifically for her Yin-Yang skill, which not only gives her an NP battery, but also makes the heal and NP drain demerit targetable to an ally.
- To commemorate her Assassin self's release in Evocation, her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception skill has been replaced with The Star, as not only are all three effects extended to last for her turns, but also the instant death resistance down has been increased from 80% to 100% at max level. In addition, this particular Evocation also altered how her NP's instant death works, as it is no longer preemptive and is calculated after damage, making her refund more consistent.
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Being an entity from The Root; her priorities and definitions are skewed to match. Her only declared motivations are having fun as a Servant and making sure Assassin Shiki is relatively okay.
Composite Character: This version of Shiki is her third personality from Kara no Kyoukai's epilogue, but her class is taken from regular Shiki's fight with Araya Souren in the fifth movie. Also doubles as a Mythology Gag to her appearance in Melty Blood.
Cool Big Sis: Acts like an "invincible elder sister" to the protagonist.
Curtains Match the Window: Her eyes are the same brown color as her hair unless her Mystic Eyes are active.
Death Glare: The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are active at all times in her Third Ascension.
Demoted to Extra: Like Assassin Shiki, Void Shiki hasn't received almost any story content after the end of "Garden of Order" event. She still appears in guaranteed SSR summons and has received additional content like a Rank Up Quest and simple costumes, but otherwise, she is merely a Servant who still just exists. That said, due to her Story-Breaker Power noted below, her actually caring enough to do anything would resolve the story fairly quickly.
Does Not Like Spam: She mentions she does not like ice cream because it is too sweet and too cold. This is something that she shares with regular Shiki, albeit she tries to iron through her dislikes due to her liking strawberry ice cream.
Early-Bird Cameo: This version of Shiki was the very first character in the game to possess the Independent Manifestation skill... which was later revealed to be a signature skill of the Beast class.
First-Name Basis: She calls Fujino by her given name (with the -san honorific), as opposed to "Asagami".
Glowing Eyes of Doom: The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. At her Third Ascension, they're active at all times.
Happiness in Slavery: Some of her My Room lines come across as this. Among things she outright asks the protagonist to use more Command Spells on her, saying its fun to be commanded. This seems to tie into her Blue-and-Orange Morality, as she has little motivations of her own.
Idiot Hair: In regular Grand Order, she only gets it at her Third Ascension, but in Arcade she has it present at all Ascensions, even her second one where almost all her hair is tied up in a bun.
Katanas Are Just Better: She wields the Kanesada Kuji, so her Class is Saber. The sword is an ancient katana that's so sharp it can cut magical barriers just by drawing it from the scabbard.
Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Even more than her Assassin counterpart, as her kimono gets more and more elaborate as the ascensions go by.
Kimono Is Traditional: Being a more feminine Ryougi Shiki, she wears various more refined kimonos through Ascensions compared to her Assassin self, who sticks to her plain blue kimono.
Lady of War: She's more distinctly feminine and far more graceful than Assassin Shiki, a fact that pisses off Asagami Fujino to no end.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Her identity and powers are a major plot point in Kara no Kyoukai.
The Omniscient: Explicitly described as such on her profile, since the Root simply provides her with information whenever she wants to know about something.
One-Hit Kill: Her Noble Phantasm, Amalavijñāna - Boundary of Emptiness can instantly kill opponents. This can be combined with her first skill that reduces opponents' Instant Death resistance. And of course, she still has the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Power Dyes Your Hair: A minor case. Her hair is brownish black compared to her "normal" self's greenish black, and it's not merely lighting difference in their Saint Graph artworks.
Theme Music Power-Up: M24 from Paradox Spiral, which played when normal Shiki fought Araya Souren with the Kanesada Kuji.
Stone Wall: She has high HP and her Ying Yang skill heals her for up to 5000 HP over a 4-turn cooldown in exchange for only 10% of her NP gauge, with no requirement that you even have that 10% charge. However, she has low attack, mediocre NP gain and no particularly valuable skills like instant NP charge or the ability to hand out heavy crits. As a result, she struggles to find a niche beyond trying to wave clear with instant death effects, which usually doesn't work on Servants or minibosses.
Story-Breaker Power: As the physical manifestation of Akasha, she's very close to omnipotence. She could probably solve the plot of the entire game if she felt like it with only the Beasts themselves giving her serious competition. Being what she is though, she's got a serious case of Blue-and-Orange Morality going on, so it's safe to say that she'll never feel like helping out beyond being a Servant. The Garden of Order eventually has her admitting that she would probably lose against a true "Beast of Gaia" but they were fighting a "failed Beast of Alaya." Considering it was in indirect reference to Primate Murder, who we know to be Beast IV, that probably means she wouldn't be able to take on any of the Beasts beyond that by herself.
Useless Useful Spell: Like her Assassin version, Shiki's Instant-Kill ability will only reliably work on mooks, dealing only mediocre damage otherwise. Though the fact that her Noble Phantasm is an AoE attack as oppose to Assassin Shiki's single-target Noble Phantasm makes the instant-kill more reliable when it comes to clearing mooks.
Willfully Weak: She pretty much could do anything she wants to; like turn Assassin Shiki (and Archer Fujino) into a dream and then call them as Servants. Blue-and-Orange Morality means it's literally impossible to get her to "want" to do anything.
Yamato Nadeshiko: Beautiful, demure, soft-spoken, and wears beautiful kimonos.
