True Name: Shirou Emiya Gender: Male Height: 167 cm Weight: 58 kg Specialty: Tinkering with junk, home cooking Likes: Home cooking Dislikes: Pickled plum tea Nemesis: Kirei Kotomine Age: 17 Saber's Master Skilled in all household chores; can use Projection and Reinforcement magecraft A boy who is essentially an ordinary person and a mage apprentice caught up in the Holy Grail War At his core, he is simple and honest. Due to his stubborn personality and baby face, he is often misunderstood, but his expression is fundamentally calm and composed. As befits someone who aspires to be a "hero of justice," he believes in helping people as much as he can within his abilities, and basically never refuses a request (it's not that he can't refuse; he himself says "I don't take on things I can't do"). On the other hand, he remembers the words Kiritsugu left him before his death—"Saving someone means not saving someone else"—as words that "still remain strongly with him," and he struggles with the form his ideal "hero of justice" should take. Within the options available to his immature self, if it is the best way to make everyone else happy, he will sacrifice himself without hesitation. He grows and develops throughout the Holy Grail War. Despite being unable to perceive magical energy, he is sensitive to abnormalities in locations. He is skilled at grasping precise blueprints of existing objects and outputting those blueprints as they are, but anything else is less than half-baked. First person: "Ore" Second person: "Omae," "Anta," "Temee"

Real name: Rin Tohsaka Gender: Female Height: 159 cm Weight: 47 kg Age: 17 Birthday: February 3 Likes: Polishing gems Dislikes: All electronic devices, sudden accidents Special skill: Handling everything flawlessly, then failing at the crucial moment Natural enemy: Kirei Kotomine Archer's Master The administrator of Fuyuki and the sixth-generation head of the Tohsaka family. She summons Archer and enters the Holy Grail War expecting certain victory. She possesses both the side of a rationalist mage and the side of a soft-hearted person who cannot abandon her comrades in a pinch. Her creed is "if I'm going to do it, I'll do it thoroughly," and she beats down rivals and those who defy her until their will to resist is crushed. Shirou describes this side of her as a "red devil." She relentlessly pushes and strictly guides those she cares about, constantly spurring them on, but in times of crisis she never abandons them until the very last moment, and if there is even a 1% chance of hope, she never gives up, showing how well she looks after others. Conversely, she also has a dry side that gives up on people she judges as irrelevant or beyond saving. At school, she hides this true nature and lives with a feigned innocence, outwardly presenting herself as an honor student of beautiful appearance, excelling in both academics and athletics, and possessing both wit and beauty—strict with others and even stricter with herself. Her manner of speech is aggressive and dismissive. Behind that lies a caring, big-sisterly personality—a so-called tsundere. An Average One who can handle the five elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void at an extremely high level. A mage of the highest caliber. Due to her Jewel Magecraft, she is quite a miser and a worshiper of money. While she is exceptionally greedy about what others owe her, she also faithfully honors her own debts one way or another. For a certain reason, the more important a person is to her, the larger the debt she imposes on them. Despite wearing a miniskirt in her casual clothes, whether sitting with her legs crossed or in the midst of battle with intense movements, she absolutely never flashes her panties (anti-gravity skirt). She boasts impregnable defenses. She uses Jewel Magecraft and the Chinese martial art of Bajiquan, and has formed an alliance with Shirou. She perfectly plays the role of an honor student of beautiful appearance and both wit and beauty, hiding her true nature, and is a rationalist but soft-hearted toward her close friends and allies. She has black hair styled like half-twintails. Her outfit consists of knee-high socks and a miniskirt. She has a ladylike, strong-willed, and frank "tsundere" manner of speaking. Her first-person pronoun is "watashi," and she uses different second-person pronouns depending on the person. Her sentence endings include "~yo," "~ne," and "~ja nai."

Real name: Sakura Matou Gender: Female Height: 156 cm Weight: 46 kg Age: 16 Birthday: March 2 Likes: Sweets, ghost stories Dislikes: P.E. class, scales Special skills: All household chores, massage Natural enemies: Illya, Rin Tohsaka Rider's Master She has a gentle, brave, devoted, and fragile air about her. She is calm and reserved, but once she has decided something, she has a stubborn side that will not bend no matter what. Basically, she speaks in a polite and courteous young-lady manner, attaching "~desu" and "~masu" to the ends of her sentences, and softly showing concern for others with phrases like "~desu ne" and "~deshou ka." Sakura has never been confessed to. In the classroom she is seen as gloomy, and even though she is beautiful, both boys and girls keep their distance. Sakura is an adopted child who came from the Tohsaka family to the Matou family, and is Rin's biological younger sister, but due to the orders of both families, they treat each other as strangers. No one except Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, and Zouken Matou knows they are sisters. For the sake of the everyday life she cherishes, she has a nature of desperately trying to endure alone to her very limit. Due to her harsh upbringing, her self-esteem is extremely low. Depending on the choices made, she has a precariousness that could waver between good and evil, but because she is fundamentally serious and a good person to an almost excessive degree, she cannot fully become evil and suffers from guilt. She basically never harbors resentment toward anyone, but she becomes honest toward those close to her, such as her biological older sister, or toward herself. Additionally, if she bottles things up too much, she breaks down. In comedic situations, she tries to act bad but ends up becoming clumsy and useless, showing a complex personality that cannot fully turn pitch-black. She has strongly inherited the blood of the Tohsaka mage family and possesses an extremely high aptitude for magecraft. She was born with the extremely rare attribute of "Imaginary Element—Hollow," and it is said that without the protection of a mage family, she would have been made into a specimen preserved in formalin.

Class: Saber Gender: Female Height: 154 cm Weight: 42 kg Alignment: Likes: Delicate meals, stuffed animals Dislikes: Coarse meals, excessive decoration Special skills: Gymnastics, secretly strong at all forms of gambling Natural enemies: Gilgamesh, Merlin First-person pronoun: watashi Second-person pronouns: anata / kisama / kikou / ○○ (without honorifics) Third-person pronouns: yatsu / yatsura / ○○ (without honorifics) A Saber-class Servant summoned by Shirou Emiya. A hearty eater. A beautiful girl swordsman with blue eyes, who carries herself with a dignified air, ties her blonde hair up behind her, and wears blue and silver armor. She has a strong sense of responsibility, is serious, dutiful, and polite, hates to lose, possesses a knight's pride, and is stubborn. Unable to enter spirit form, she sometimes stays behind to look after the Emiya residence. Noble Phantasm: Excalibur, the Sword of Promised Victory One of the ideal kings who deems a good life and a good way of living for all people to be good. She may use underhanded tactics for the sake of battle, but she draws the line clearly and absolutely never commits acts that go against her beliefs and chivalry (such as devouring souls or defiling corpses). She is cool and somewhat awkward at expressing emotions, but fundamentally she is honest, so she states her opinions plainly. She is also quite a glutton. According to her, it is "to compensate for a lack of magical energy supply," but seeing her particular fixation on food makes it clear that is not the only reason. Because Gilgamesh projected the image of a certain person onto Saber, he proposed to her at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War and remained fixated on her in the Fifth Holy Grail War, but Saber herself utterly despises him, so she cuts him down without mercy (in a physical sense as well).

A Servant summoned by Rin Tohsaka Gender: Male Class: Archer Height: 187 cm Weight: 78 kg Alignment: Neutral · Balanced · Man Likes: All household chores (he denies it), messing with weapons, maintaining plumbing Dislikes: Heroes of justice, immature thinking Special skills: Tinkering with junk, all household chores Natural enemies: Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, Illyasviel von Einzbern He alone is a Heroic Spirit from the future and has no need to conceal his true name. A conceited man with white hair and brown skin, fundamentally cold toward others. He made a contract with the will of the world to change the fate of 500 people who were beyond saving due to a nuclear reactor meltdown, and thereafter saved countless other people. However, his utterly selfless demeanor was deemed unsettling, and in the end, he was killed by people who feared betrayal, concluding his life. He did not regret that outcome. Yet, as he endlessly repeated the slaughter of "those who sought to destroy the world" in order to avert the possibility of humanity's extinction, he grew to hate humanity for its endless strife and his former self, who had once deemed such ideals noble, ultimately coming to view the ideals he pursued in life as meaningless. Thus, he eventually came to think, "By killing my past self with my own hands, I will cause a time paradox and erase my own existence." He is skilled at housework, and his home cooking is particularly top-notch. He also has a nurturing side, helping Masters with low living skills with household chores. He does not possess a Noble Phantasm, but instead uses the magecraft of Projection to replicate and use various Noble Phantasms, swords, and other weapons he has seen with his own eyes, employing his Reality Marble, "Unlimited Blade Works." His first-person pronoun is "watashi," and very rarely "ore." His second-person pronouns are "omae," "kisama," and "〇〇" (without honorifics). His third-person pronouns are "yatsu," "yatsura," and "〇〇" (without honorifics). He is cynical and a realist, but occasionally shows a rather childish side.

A Servant summoned by Kirei Kotomine Gender: Male Class: Lancer Height: 185 cm Weight: 72 kg Alignment: Lawful · Balanced · Heaven Likes: Strong-willed women, reckless promises, unreasonable demands Dislikes: Roundabout policies, betrayal, troublesome things Special skills: Fishing, free diving, mountain climbing Natural enemies: Gilgamesh, Archer First-person pronoun: ore Second-person pronouns: omae / temee / anta Third-person pronouns: yatsu / yatsura / ○○ (without honorifics) His manner of speech is somewhat rough, but he has a frank yet caring and charming personality. He values conviction and honor, and is a true warrior who desires fair and square battles. He usually comes across as a friendly, big-brother type, but when it comes to violence, he is thoroughly severe and cold-hearted, and his way of being—preferring combat with all pretenses stripped away and wildness laid bare—is exactly that of a wild beast. He also has his own strong views on how to conduct oneself with integrity: even if it were his own parents, siblings, or close friends, once they become his "enemy," he would kill them without hesitation, and no matter how much he dislikes someone, if that person is his "lord," he will remain loyal to the end without betrayal. However, if his lord gives him an utterly intolerable and unreasonable order, or if he is cunningly deceived, that is another matter. Though he is not particularly fixated on it, he apparently does not like killing women in battle, and he has never once killed a woman in his lifetime. His life was full of constant fighting, gaining things only to lose them, but at its end, though there was regret, he had no lingering attachment. He has no attachment to the present world and no particular wish to place upon the Holy Grail; in that sense, he truly has no desires. If forced to say, his wish is "a battle to the death against a strong opponent." A Servant specialized in survival capabilities, able to return alive from any deadly situation. Noble Phantasm: Gáe Bolg, the Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death He has sealed away his Rune Magecraft (because it is too troublesome).

True Name: Kirei Kotomine Birthday: December 28 Zodiac Sign: Capricorn Blood Type: B Age: 34 Height: 193 cm Weight: 82 kg Appearance: A priest wearing a deep blue cassock Special Skill: None in particular Likes: Misfortune, suffering Dislikes: Trust, happiness Nemesis: Kiritsugu Emiya First-person pronoun: "Watashi" (I) The overseer of the Fifth Holy Grail War and a participant in the Fourth Holy Grail War. His eyes are dead. Lancer's Master. A broken man who cannot find beauty in what everyone else considers "beautiful." Born loving evil over good, favoring "ugly things," and a defective being who can only derive "happiness" from the pain and misfortune of others. In parts unseen, he commits various evil deeds. In his youth, he understood the morality he was taught and possessed the common sense that being good was the correct path for a person. As a clergyman, he was a stiff young man tormented by his own twisted sensibilities. He endlessly repeated ascetic practices and attempts to correct his deviant nature and obtain ordinary happiness, but in the end, no matter what he did, he could not be corrected. After his wife's suicide, he seems to have accepted himself as someone who can only love evil. After letting go, he operates in the shadows for his own amusement, as if having attained some kind of enlightenment. He seeks pleasure through committing evil, while simultaneously searching for the reason why he, an evil being, was born. Though twisted, his faith is genuine. He loves the extra-spicy mapo tofu from Koushuu Ensai Kan / Taizan restaurant. Its spiciness is so extreme that it warrants the epithets "lethal" and "heretical." A user of the "Black Keys," throwing swords unique to Executors. He is also a master of Bajiquan. However, Kirei's style, honed through real combat, differs from his father's orthodox Bajiquan, having become a unique method of bodily destruction. He has also mastered the Church's Baptismal Chant, giving him outstanding offensive power against spiritual bodies. Though twisted, his faith is genuine. His skill as a mage is at the "graduate apprentice" level; he is familiar with most forms of magecraft, but is fundamentally mediocre in all of them. However, because his magical aptitude is specialized in "opening wounds," his spiritual healing and medical magecraft far surpass his teacher, Tokiomi, to the point where there are few spiritual doctors in the Association as skilled as Kirei. An ultimate diabolical priest. Other people's misfortune makes his food taste better. Even his own misfortune makes his food taste better. First-person pronoun is "Watashi" (I). Second and third-person pronouns are "Kimi," "Omae," and "Kisama."

A Servant summoned by Sakura Matou Class: Rider Gender: Female Height: 172 cm Weight: 57 kg Likes: Alcohol, snakes, horses, reading, swimming Dislikes: Mirrors, height measurement, horse sashimi, emeralds, seaweed Special skills: Horseback riding, acrobatics, stalking Natural enemies: Saber, Assassin, Soichiro Kuzuki Alignment: Chaotic · Good · Earth First-person pronoun: "watashi." A beautiful woman who hides her true face and heart behind a mask. Just as her appearance suggests, she is a woman of few words and calm composure, the very picture of a cool beauty. She has a cold-hearted professional temperament, but that is ultimately an attitude born of devoting herself entirely to her work. At heart, she dislikes turmoil and trouble, and wishes to live quietly with family and friends—a quiet, introverted personality that has not changed from the past to the present. She is strict about discipline, but in situations where she does not need to follow it, she slacks off thoroughly. The reason her sisters bullied her was due to this laxness. Sakura Matou is her contracted Master, and they share the common traits of "long purple hair and large breasts" and "a victim who turns into a perpetrator." She feels deep affection and pity for Sakura, who may follow the same fate as herself, and decides to fight solely to save her. In daily life, they also show a close, sisterly relationship. She is very dry toward things that do not interest her, and since she is not the type to care about others' eyes in the first place, in private her room is tidy and her appearance is neat and extremely simple. However, by the same token, she does not fuss more than necessary and has no feminine arrangements whatsoever. Perhaps as a reaction to this, she is relatively weak toward those she feels friendship or camaraderie with, and tries to face them sincerely in her own way. Her unfriendly attitude is not due to a lack of consideration; on the contrary, it is because she worries too much about the other person and cannot open up, causing her to withdraw inward. Noble Phantasm: Bellerophon, the Bridle of Chivalry

Real name: Illyasviel von Einzbern Gender: Female Height: 133 cm Weight: 34 kg Age: 18 Birthday: November 20 Likes: Snow, Shirou in an apron Dislikes: Cold places, cats Special skills: None in particular Natural enemy: Sakura Matou Berserker's Master. She calls Shirou "onii-chan." She is Kiritsugu Emiya's daughter and Shirou's adoptive sister (older sister/younger brother). A small girl with long silver hair and red eyes. Because of her childish innocence, she cannot distinguish between good and evil, and with cruelty she sets out to kill other Masters calmly and without hesitation. She lives with two homunculi in the Einzbern castle deep in the mountains. She is effectively born into the Einzbern family, a prestigious mage family, but she was subjected to magecraft education that bordered on torture. A small girl characterized by silver hair and red eyes. Just like her appearance, she possesses both the innocence of a child and the cruelty born of being unable to distinguish between good and evil, and she sets out to kill her enemies calmly and without hesitation (she was educated that way by the Einzberns). She has undergone magical modifications as the Lesser Grail, and although she was born through reproduction, her body has become close to that of a homunculus. As a side effect, her growth has stopped at the stage before secondary sexual characteristics. As both the Lesser Grail and a homunculus, her magic circuits are enormously vast, incomparable to those of other mages. In addition, as a function of the Lesser Grail itself, she can exercise small-scale miracles that "skip the theory and produce the result." In other words, as long as it is within the range possible with her magical energy, she can realize things without knowing the underlying principles. A small girl characterized by silver hair and red eyes, who also possesses an immense amount of magical energy. Toward Shirou Emiya, she confronts him as a Master and as the adopted son of Kiritsugu Emiya, who abandoned her, with a murderous intent close to jealousy, but at the same time, because he is her last remaining family, she also feels attachment, harboring complex emotions mixed with love and hate. She changed from the face of an innocent and cruel "witch" into a "life-sized girl" who watches over the protagonist, Shirou, like an older sister.

An irregular eighth Servant who manifested through the Holy Grail and has no Master Class: Archer Gender: Male Height: 182 cm Weight: 68 kg Alignment: Chaotic · Good · Heaven Likes: Himself, power, treasures Dislikes: Humans who do not challenge their own limits, snakes Special skill: Being rich Natural enemy: Archer His first-person pronoun is written as "我" but read as "ore." His second-person pronouns are "zasshu" and "kisama." A blond, red-eyed man who looks down on everything. Cruel and heartless. A tyrant who does not listen to others' opinions and treats only his own standards as absolute. Arrogant, self-centered, and on top of that, insolent. He unhesitatingly proclaims himself the "one and only king." A belligerent and brutal person who does not care how much damage he causes to those around him for the sake of his own desires—one of the most dangerous individuals among Servants. He lightly ignores the words of those who do not interest him, and those who offend him (such as attacking him with hostility or hurling abuse) will have their lives taken without any mercy, whether they are saints or even his own Master. To begin with, to him, life is something that either "dies now" or "dies eventually," and even a sage will be eliminated if he deems them "a life that should die now." However, when dealing with someone who interests him or whom he acknowledges, he will listen, and if he deems that person to have "value," he has the magnanimity to laugh and forgive even flippant remarks or shameless wishes, as long as they do not seriously wound his pride. That said, "If you defy me, I will kill you. No matter how attached I am to something, if it does not obey, I will kill it. That is the true heart of this Heroic Spirit—the truth of the man called Gilgamesh." He repeatedly proposes to Saber, only to be rejected and turned down. He shows no sign of giving up, but at the same time, it seems to be a troublesome desire in that once he obtains something, he loses interest. Saber, despite taking things seriously, is looked at strangely, and on top of that, is proposed to despite having no interest whatsoever, and is told things like, "You have no right to object. This is a decision I have made," which is nothing but a tremendous nuisance to her. However, not showing consideration in such matters seems to be the way of the King of Heroes. Noble Phantasm: Enuma Elish, the Star of Creation that Splits Heaven and Earth
