Fate Grand Order is the creation and intellectual property of Nasu Kinoko and Type-Moon.

Still Better than Black Keys.

Chapter Six.

Okay, this may be kind of cheating, even moreso than with EMIYA Lily/Shirou. However, please listen me out! While this Servant is technically canonical, and most of her stats sheet remains the same as in Fate Grand Order, there's a basic major difference regarding her identity. This is not Mash Kyrielight, lab-created child who later was merged with Sir Galahad's spirit. She is Sir Galahad herself, recorded by history as male but who was actually a young woman in life, much like Arthur herself. Because, other than Lancelot, Gawain, Kay, Agravain, and a couple of others, my version of Camelot was pretty much a Pink Bishoujo Ghetto. Once it leaks your king is actually a woman, every formerly neglected woman who was skilled with weapons and brave and would have been otherwise neglected and rejected by society saw a chance there.

So yes, this is the version who would exist in the backstory of my fanfiction Unequally Rational and Emotional, but not the Mashu seen in You Broke my Heart with Fanservice, who came from another dimension with Chaldea's forces, and who had the same origin as in canon. This is the Galahad native to my main universe, as she would be summoned for a Grail War set there.

Shielder.

True Identity: Sir Galahad of Corbenic.

Alignment: Lawful Good.

Attribute: Human.

Titles and Aliases: The Knight of the Shield, Mash Kyrielight (when traveling with Saber and Irisviel von Einzbern and under the employ of Chaldea.)

Parameters:

Noble Phantasm: A.

Strength: C.

Mana: B.

Endurance: A.

Agility: D.

Luck: C.

Natural Enemy: Morgan Le Fay.

Liked things: "The blue sky, the green earth, camping with friends and listening to songs… those are the things I like…"

Disliked things: "I definitely don't like it when Father is acting foolishly. Honestly, he can be so embarrassing…"

Class Skills:

Magic Resistance: A.

Galahad, the illegitimate child of Sir Lancelot du Lac, has been blessed with resistance to diverse type of magic continued possession and prolonged contact and mastery of Lord Camelot, the invincible shield forged from the foundation of the Round Table itself, meant to repel the vile and powerful arts of the King's half-sister Morgan Le Fay. The shield's properties have been passed onto her to some degree, once allowing her to rescue her father from the enticing spells of Castle Anthrax. However, as Galahad never drank liquor in life, she didn't have the chance to develop immunity to magics consumed through liquids. Otherwise, she could even withstand the touch of Hassan of Serenity with no ill effects.

Riding: C.

Like other Knights of the Round, Galahad engaged into regular long spans of horse riding through the King's military campaigns and assorted crusades. She will be similarly apt at driving modern land vehicles, although Legendary Beasts, aerial and water means of transportation are beyond her control.

Personal Skills:

Transient Wall of Snowflakes: C.

A power born from Galahad's selfless devotion to her comrades and their cause, and her willingness to protect them. When protecting allies or an allied territory, she will convert her mental fortitude into a buff of global defense, boosting her overall protection range.

Obscurant Wall of Chalk: D.

Another defensive skill, this one has a more concentrated rank, centering onto a single target. This person or object will be protected to such a degree all attempts to strike at them will be futile unless backed up by skills or Noble Phantasms ranked A+ or above. However, getting this skill to work correctly in the first place may be difficult; Galahad's strong instincts to protect everyone make it hard for her to concentrate on a single individual overlooking everybody else.

Shield of Rousing Resolution: A.

A skill that temporarily raises Galahad's self defense and draws in an opponent's attack. Used along Galahad's Noble Phantasm, it can increase its rank to A+, A++ or even EX, depending on Galahad's own resolution and drive at the moment.

Noble Phantasm:

Lord Camelot: The Now Far Off Ideal Castle: A.

The ultimate measure of protection provided by the Round Table. In accordance with Galahad's faith and courage, her shield will work as a barrier extending far beyond its own physical limits, covering a much wider area even if logically it shouldn't be blocking it from damage.

As long as Galahad holds the shield, this Noble Phantasm will remain in effect until the threat has passed. In extreme cases, even if the attack should surpass the shield, the damage will be transferred to Galahad's body exclusively, and the shield itself will keep on functioning to protect others even for several moments after the destruction of Shielder's own physical form—the ultimate sacrifice of a knight for her kingdom.

Summoning: "I am Servant Shielder, at your service, Master. What are your orders?"

Beginning of Battle: "For Camelot! For the King! For Master!"

Victory: "You have fought bravely and giving all your own. It has been a honor."

"Please don't get back up. Not yet..."

Defeat: "I'm sorry... Master..."

"Please carry on without me..."

Defeat by Noble Phantasm: "I surrender... to the superior power of your miracle..."

Birthday: "Happy birthday! We should be telling all our friends about this, shouldn't we? I'm sure we can throw you the party this occasion merits!"

Event: "I have just received intelligence a special phenomenon is occurring, Master. We should be getting there at once! It's a unique chance to get rare items, you know!"

Holy Grail: "Hadn't I sent it to the Heavens once? Why, after that, would they bother creating more of them? A copy never could surpass the original!"

Extra Dialogue:

"Assassin, uh… Ugh, sorry, I've never felt comfortable when that person's around…" (When you have Assassin Lobo.)

Author's Notes:

This version of Shielder takes from the original, unused concept for the character from way back into the preliminary design stages for Fate/Stay Night, where she would be the 'Stray Servant' originally summoned for the Fourth War with her own route. I also took some inspiration from Kamenhero25's Fate Harem Antics fanfic, in that there Galahad was always a female in life. Give it a read!

Additionally, in the backstory I had for the Camelot of Unequally Rational and Emotiona, Kay and Merlin were basically the versions from Walt Disney's The Sword in the Stone, although Artoria's nostalgia must be coloring her view of Kay; while after her being crowned Kay indeed became much more loyal and protective of her, he never stopped being a big idiot, not that much better than Perceval (see below.) Taking a page from T.H. White's The Once and Future King, Merlin ages backwards, so while he would have been an old man indeed around the times of Camelot, by present day he should have his much more youthful and hormonal self from Grand Order.

Sir Jason is Jason Blood of the DC Universe, later punished by Merlin, who bonded him to Etrigan the Demon. Sir Perceval is based on the version from, all things, Capcom's arcade game Knights of the Round, where he was the big strong and slow guy to go along with Arthur's Jack of All Stats and Lancelot's Fragile Speedster. To reflect this, I think of him as a huge, stupid hulking brute of a dude, good hearted but with all the intellectual and vocal range you'd expect from a big lug from a fighting game of the nineties. If you don't know Sir Robin from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I'll have to sic Shadow Crystal Mage on you. Palamedes, Tristan, Ywain (not to be confused with Gawain), Bors, Balin and Beldivere are all from the videogame Eiyuu Senki, a.k.a. 'You Thought Fate was Bad with the Gender Swaps? Here, Hold my Beer While I Show You'. Agravain, Lancelot, Mordred, Gareth and Gawain are all from proper Fate Lore. I especially like the Type-Moon version of Agravain and I hope the Camelot stage of Cosmos in the Lostbelt makes him playable at last.

To be Continued.
