Dark Skinned Blond is no longer a trope


* DarkSkinnedBlond: She has dark skin and blonde hair, though assuming she is [[spoiler:Yukika Saesuga]], she most likely got herself tanned and dyed her hair to hide her identity.



* DarkSkinnedBlonde: She's tan as befits her African origins, but it's contrasted by her starkly white hair.

* MagicKiss: Only briefly alluded to in ''Requiem'' proper, when Erice's narration says she has "awakening magecraft" in her lips. [[AllThereInTheManual Percival's Interlude]] in ''Fate/Grand Order]] would later reveal that her kisses have the power to enchant men. Percival was able to resist it.

I've seen few people commenting on this, so might as well add it.


* BloodyMurder: She calls it her "Branch." Her BlackBlood leaves her body through her arm and kills Servants by tearing out their Spirit Core and dissolving it. According to her, Servants killed this way don't return to the Throne of Heroes, meaning if they are summoned again, they won't have any form of "record" of their previous time summoned. She can also use her blood to form weapons like a battle-axe.
* BodyHorror: Her evil spirits twist and bulge and make BlackBlood under her skin; especially when people die. She mentions while dressing a wound that she has to be careful with the dressing or they can spray blood from the cut across the room. At one point where they get "hungry" but can't feed, they open wounds all over Erice's body, even behind her eyeballs. This is why she's horrified when Chitose tells her to stop acting as the Grim Reaper, as her blood will inevitably go rampant without something to feed on.

* WanderingJew: Like in the story she is from, ''Persifal'', and similar to Ahasuerus, she was cursed with immortality for mocking Jesus during the Crucifixion. She was charged to wander between worlds and serve men of power only to be used as a tool and cast aside until she could find true love.

* DetectEvil: The Erlkönig in her body will activate the moment a threat is present, even before Erice becomes aware of it. This makes it conveniently easier for Erice to detect threats that would otherwise go under most people's radars before they can strike, including a disguised Nzambi.

Added DiffLines:

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Her Freischütz curse, which is essentially a stronger and more upgraded version of Gandr, lets her fire off cursed bullets that get progressively stronger the more she shoots, but if she shoots the seventh, most powerful bullet, she'll die alongside the target as the core of the curse requires that [[TakingYouWithMe the user take the enemy to the grave with them]] as per the legend of its namesake, ''Der Freischütz''. Erice actually wound up in a near-death state for a month the one time she was forced to use the 7th, so for obvious reasons, she never uses the final bullet unless the stakes are ''really really'' dire. She regularly bypasses the curse's effects by simply reloading her bullets, resetting it back to a basic Gandr level shot every time she attacks.

* ClosestThingWeGot: Riefenflaus family wanted to summon the regular Galahad, but ended up failing and instead summoned the Altered version of him. In a pamphlet given out for ''[[Anime/FateGrandOrderDivineRealmOfTheRoundTableCamelot -Paladin; Agateram-]]'', Merlin says that while Galahad is a Heroic Spirit due to his regrets, he refuses to help humanity willingly as he believes that they do not need his help as he is someone free from desire and temptation. This means that regular Galahad cannot be summoned with normal means, leading to Galahad Alter needing to substitute for him.
