This is a page about the Original Characters appearing in the Fate/Grand Order fanfiction, Fragments of Chaldea.
Gabrielle Rutherford (Gudako)
Gabrielle moved to Florida at an early age and became quick friends with the timid neighbor, Gudao Fujimaru. Though their parents were initial worried and distrusting of the other family, their bond connected the two families in a strong, everlasting alliance. Their parents would even joke they’ve become one family, and that their kids are destined to marry each other someday.
As someone who wore every emotion on her sleeve like a badge, Gabrielle acts on her intuition and desire to set things right. She cares deeply for those she loves, and she staunchly defended and helped Gudao in their early years. Her spitfire nature had a tendency to bring her into drama, but she still remained one of their school’s most popular girls because of her loyalty. The teachers didn’t appreciate her willingness to literally fight for those she cared for though.
Her magus family line is promising, though still fledgling. Her Magic Crest was inherited from her father, and contains her family’s current expertise on manipulating fire without causing damage to oneself. She adapted it further by using it to enhance her chosen fighting style: Close Combat through reinforcement and elemental attunement. It’s high risk, and many classmate mages at the Clock Tower scoffed at the ridiculousness… until they got hit with it the self-defense classes.
Though she qualified as a Master Candidate, she was only accepted into Chaldea as a temporary Magus Employee for the summer. She still came to watch over Gudao and ensure he was fine around the “elitists.” She wound up becoming Chaldea’s 49th Master after Gudao finally stopped trying to shoulder everything.
Her forward attitude and willingness to do what’s necessary to set things right in her eyes has caused friction on several occasions. All the servants are wary how stubborn and seemingly reckless she can be, but no one doubts she’s willing to do what it takes to get the job done. They’re also aware her actions mean well, even if the outcomes aren’t exactly what anyone was expecting. Though universally accepted, she’s the polarizing wild card of the Chaldean masters.
- Broken Tears: Started crying these out of her own perceived weakness after narrowly surviving Dulaqua's elbow drop thanks to Andersen.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: On the receiving end from Delaqua, but she does get in some blows. This causes Kiyohime to suffer a major My God, What Have I Done? on seeing just how badly Gabby was beaten out of Kiyohime's "stupid wish for petty revenge".
- The Determinator: She refused to give up against Delaqua, insisting that Delaqua needed to knock her out even though Gabby had very bad injuries after thirty minutes.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Defied. Delaqua kept telling Gabby she needed to do this, but Gabby refused, insisting that Delaqua needed to knock Gabby out.
Naomi Stolarz
Naomi is the former tailor and best friend of the late Olga Marie Animusphere, hired by her father. She shut herself further away from everyone after her horrific death and believed to have come to terms through her strict adherence to discipline and work. She earned the nickname “Stitch Witch” due to her magecraft background and stringent attitude as supervisor of the Furniture Department.
Her attitude shifted upon unknowingly befriending Medea and Vlad through knitting sessions during lunch. Since then, she’s become more relaxed and happier thanks to their company. She and Medea now openly declare themselves as the Stitch Witches as a friendly joke. Boudica had recently joined their knitting party, making her the next closest friend she has within Chaldea.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Thankfully Averted. During Who We Are, she used the last of her willpower to impale Flauros with a pole, unintentionally poisoning him and successfully incapacitating him. Afterwards, she falls into a coma, but eventually recovers as of Fragment 82
- Tragic Keepsake: Wears a bright red crocheted rose in her hair, a secret birthday present from her late friend, Olga Marie.
Tyler Fields
Tyler is the most laidback employee in Chaldea, and everyone knows it. His consideration for anyone often wins him new friends easily. He’s more than happy to help out where he can, especially when it involves friends like his coworker Anton. When he’s not working, he’s almost always found playing games.
He earned a friendly rivalry with Lord El-Melloi II. Their gaming group slowly grew to expand more servants with the help of Tyler’s welcoming and friendly personality. Even after being placed under Da Vinci’s direct supervision with Anton, not much has changed. He remains a stable anchor that allows servants to wind down when talking to him.
- An Arm and a Leg: Lost a leg after Lev sliced it off during the events of Who We Are. Gains a prosthetic leg, courtesy of Da Vinci.
Rena (Designation R1-N4)
As a prototype from Babbage and Da Vinci’s curiosity, Rena was often left alone on a shelf. After it came to life of its own accord, it hid in Serenity’s room where it quickly bonded with the sad assassin. They became absolute friends, keeping each other company as the robot’s life-like personality programming began to bloom.
With Da Vinci’s permission, Rena was reprogrammed and refitted to become Serenity’s ideal assistant. She holds the only antidote for Serenity’s poison which is administered by a dart gun embedded in her chassis. Inseparable, both as friends and by need, the robot’s goal and desire is to learn as much as it can about living a life while enjoying the company it keeps.
- Carrying the Antidote: R1-N4's original role, to clean anything Serenity touched and administer an antidote when needed. Even after Serenity was given a talisman that neutralized her poison, she still carries an antidote.
Elsa Santini
After being invited by Da Vinci at her uncle Leandre’s insistence, Elsa dared to be one of the first new employees to travel all the way to Antarctica for a job, working as a therapist. Her circumstances remain mysterious, but most understand she was running away from financial problems. Due to her friendly and helpful personality, plus her adorable baby, Giovanni, she was quickly considered a Chaldean Celebrity.
They say no one has a heart of gold like mothers, but Elsa stands taller above the rest. Often doing too much to help out those she’s come to like; she’s known for often forgetting her own wellbeing. Even so, any little trouble with her baby has her running to his side immediately in panic. Some call it a mother’s true love, but some feel there’s more to that fear she isn’t revealing.
- There Are No Therapists: Averted. After the traumatic events regarding the Incineration of Humanity, Elsa was called in to serve as the therapist for the traumatized Chaldean Staff and even some of the Servants as well.
