Fate/Characters/hollow ataraxia: Difference between revisions

This is a page about the characters appearing in ''[[Fate Hollow Ataraxia (Visual Novel)|Fate/hollow ataraxia]]''. Beware of spoilers.

While the cast is almost identical to that of ''[[Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Fate/stay night]]'', they tend to play different roles. Please do not add tropes from ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' to this page unless they also appear here. For the normal ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' character page, please go [[Fate/stay Stay Night (Visual Novel)night/Characters|here]] instead for the disambiguation page.

[[File:shirou_emiyashirou emiya.jpg|frame]]

The protagonist of the series, Shirou is a rather untalented magus whose only skill is basic Tracing and Reinforcement magic, which allows him to analyze the physical make-up of an object and then strengthen it. His dream is to become a "Hero of Justice", someone who can selflessly protect the lives of everyone from disaster. He inherited this dream from his adoptive father Kiritsugu Emiya {{spoiler|([[Fate /Zero (Literature)|who had given up on it]])}} and is extremely naive on what it takes to reach that ideal.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He tends to snark a lot [[FirstpersonFirst-Person Smartass|in his internal monologues]], even more than he did in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]].''

{{quote| '''Saber:''' [[Blatant Lies|These are the catalysts]]<ref>It's exercise equipment and she's playing with it</ref> [[Blatant Lies|that Rin left behind. I was testing them all one by one just in case they absorbed prana, transformed and can now exert some evil influence!]]<br />

* [[Dual -Wielding]]: He picked up Archer's dual wielding style.

* [[Expy]]: Shirou shares a character model with [[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature):|Tomoe Enjou]]; the two have similar issues regarding what is fake and what is real, as well. Also, Shirou becomes an [[Artificial Human]] like Tomoe [[Multiple Endings|in the True End of]] ''[[Multiple Endings|Heaven’s Feel]]'' in '"[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]''.

* [[The Fettered]]: Shirou's ideal of wanting to save everybody is a large source of his strength. His abilities appear to have arisen specifically because of this, as explored in the final two routes of ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]].''

* [[FirstpersonFirst-Person Smartass]]: Not very obvious. Then the realization hits that his narration is ''just as sarcastic'' as Rin's and boggling occurs. He is more of a snarker than people give him credit for, especially around Rin. Archer is basically what he would be like if he wasn't so polite all the time, is it any wonder why he and Rin have such great chemistry?

{{quote| '''Shirou''': Touei, Kaishi!}}

* [[Mega Manning]]: The whole point of Projection magic is that it lets Shirou use any weapon he has seen the original of. Also, Saber gets pissed off when she realizes that he's not only been learning directly from her and copying Archer's technique<ref>As seen in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' proper</ref> but also picked up a move from Rider and copies a bit of what he's seen Lancer and Assassin do.

* [[Nice Guy]]: Being a bit... er, [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen|overprotective]] doesn't hide the fact that he's considerate, thoughtful, and industrious.

[[File:Bazett_mug_2849Bazett mug 2849.png|frame]]

* [[Hot Chick in Aa Badass Suit]]: Of course.

* [[Infinite Supplies]]: Averted, she only has a finite amount of [[Counter Attack|Fraga]][[One -Hit Kill|rachs]] in her possession, so she has to plan how to efficiently use them in battle. Of course, because of the loop, she gets a new supply with each new life.

** Until she learns to control it, then she'll be on par of Ciel from Tsukihime.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: So is it "Bazett" or "Bazette"?

[[File:Caren_mug_4980Caren mug 4980.png|frame]]

Caren is an impassive young woman who seems to have taken Kotomine's place at the church {{spoiler|(and as Lancer and Gilgamesh's master)}} in the four-day time loop. She enjoys teasing and embarrassing others, but is very forgiving of others' wrongdoings -- shewrongdoings—she goes so far as to actually blame herself for them. Avenger eventually falls in love with her, making her the main heroine of ''hollow ataraxia''.

* [[Bandage Babe]]: Due to the [[Blessed Withwith Suck]] / [[Body Horror]] below.

* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Caren's body reacts to the presence of evil spirits, so the Church likes using her as their radar.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Caren or Karen.

* [[The Tease]]: She enjoys picking on others to the point of sexually harassing them, and her revealing battle costume is stated to be both for mobility and to [[Invoked Trope|invoke]] [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]] in her male opponents.

{{quote| '''Caren:''' Stop? Or what, you'll violently rape me? That's a bit out of character for you, isn't it Shirou?}}

* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]

[[File:rin_tohsakarin tohsaka.jpg|frame]]

* [[Born in Thethe Wrong Century]]: Rin, like most Magi, barely knows what a VCR is, let alone DVD or Blu-Ray. She hates technology with a passion since she can't understand it, although she is learning from Shirou.

** In the Type-Moon April's Fool’s joke (with various Nasuverse characters setting up their own Twitter accounts), Rin has Archer set up her account, and ''starts using that as her secret diary''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120623052153/http://nrvnqsr.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=5782&page=12 Hilarity ensues (scroll down to reply # 172)].

* [[Expy]]: It's very hard not to see similarities between Rin and [[Tsukihime|Akiha]]. They're both the young female heads of prestigious families involved in the occult with long black hair, blue eyes and essentially the same face. They even have the same [[Tsundere]] "humph!" pose, except that Akiha's lacks the flying hair that Rin has whenever she does it. Both characters are in turn partly based on [[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature):|Azaka]] -- young—young Rin and young Azaka look exactly alike. The resemblance to Akiha is even lampshaded where numerous traits they share are mentioned while speaking of Tohsaka, but the character is referred to as Tohno by a Sakura who is trying to hide her jealousy. Note: Both go to a faraway special academy, have flattish chests, act like perfect students at school, are domineering and more are all mentioned outright.

* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: In the beginning it's strongly implied that it's ''her'' fault that all the different continuities seem to be impossibly mingled.

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Her [[Super -Deformed]] version which appears in the [[Have a Nice Death|Tiger Dojos]]. Said chibi Tohsaka tends to abuse the hell out of everyone else's chibi figures.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Sort of. Different Romanizations have spelled her surname Tohsaka, Tousaka, Tosaka, Toosaka, Tôsaka, or Tōsaka. The first three seem the most popular in that order, but it still hasn't really been standardized in any way yet.

== Sakura Matou ==

[[File:sakura_matousakura matou.jpg|frame]]

Following '"[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' she has become much bolder and more aggressive, though still domestic. Shirou is horrified at the thought that she may be becoming another Tohsaka. Apart from that, she also appears to have taken over the archery club and the Matou household. She continues to serve as Rider's Master.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Again, she tries to reserve herself. It's often [[Played for Laughs|played for laughs]] with Rider's conscious attempts not to get too close to Shirou for fear of setting off this mode.

* [[Expy]]: She is similar in appearance, and shares some aspects of her back-story, with Fujino Asagami (from the earlier Nasu work ''[[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature):|Kara no Kyoukai]]''). There's also considerable overlap (especially the backstory) with Kohaku from [[Tsukihime]], also of the [[Nasuverse]].

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Matou, Matô or Matō depending on the source/transliteration paradigm used.

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Lives with Shirou and does the cooking and house work. Somewhere between the end of the last story and the start of this one, she took over Matou household without abandoning her [[Nice Girl]] personality.

* [[Expy]]: Quite possibly of [[Tsukihime|Arcueid Brunestud]]: Both have childish, selfish, catlike personalities, are associated with the color white, are referred to as "[[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses|princesses]]", and to top it all off, Ilya's hairstyle is very similar to Arc's prior to the latter's [[Important Haircut]].

* [[First -Name Basis]]: She generally prefers being called by her nickname of "Ilya".

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Let's see... [[Parental Abandonment]]? Check. Isolated from the outside world and basically ''raised'' to be a sociopath by her mother's family? Check. Put through agonizing [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] by said family so she could control Berserker and be their representative in the Grail War, despite the fact that she was mentally pretty much still a child? Check and ''check''.

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: She just barely reaches her servant's knee.

* [[LittleYounger SisterSibling HeroineFetishization]]: Now that her relation to Kiritsugu is known to the cast, she ''really'' plays it up. However, there is still no sex involved, much to her (probable) dismay.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Some of the time, anyway. Generally, if the narration starts focusing on her eyes, bad things are about to happen.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: "Ilyasviel" or "Illyasviel".

* [[Token Mini MoeLoli|Token Loli]]

* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]

[[File:soichirou_fsnsoichirou fsn.jpg|frame]]

After '"[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' he and his Servant Caster married, meaning that both are now perfectly satisfied and unlikely to cause any problems.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: As there are two long vowels in his name, there's quite a lot of possible permutations to it. It's usually spelled Souichirou, Soichirou or Sōichirō in ''Fate/stay night'' media.

[[File:shinji_matoushinji matou.jpg|frame]]

{{quote| ''"If you want me to drop the barrier, you'll have to get on your knees and beg."''}}

Sakura's brother and Shirou's friend from middle school. At school, he's a popular ladies' man, and appears to have calmed down from his incredibly unsympathetic start in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]].''

* [[Jerkass]]: Though not nearly to the extent as in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]].''

[[File:Zouken_298Zouken 298.jpg|frame]]

[[File:kirei_kotominekirei kotomine.jpg|frame]]

The former big bad of ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]],'' Kotomine is now very dead. He is occasionally mentioned, though it is bluntly stated that he has no connection to the current happenings of Fuyuki. Because he's dead.

Originally summoned in the Third Grail War, the Avenger class is considered forbidden because it specifically summons either an [[Anti -Hero]] or [[Villain Protagonist]]-type Servant. The original Avenger -- theAvenger—the only one summoned so far -- wasfar—was Angra Mainyu, [[The Devil]] of Zoroastrianism. At least, that's what the Einzbern family thought.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: His name is not ''actually'' Angra Mainyu. He says he has no name anymore because it was taken from him. Rather, Angra Mainyu is a title and a way of projecting the villager's 'evil' onto an appropriate source. The logic is that they make him into the devil of their religion and then treat him as the container of all the evils in the world. Because the evil is contained within him, [[Insane Troll Logic|it is therefore impossible that the villagers themselves could contain any evil, and it is justifiable to torture him in order to punish the source of all evil.]]

* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]

* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: He regularly makes an idiot of himself around Caren -- thisCaren—this entails flailing when she picks on him, trying to pick on her back (she just [[Moe|pinches his face]] to retaliate!), and [[Victim Falls For Rapist|raping her]]. Initially, he even mistakes this for ''hate''. {{spoiler|After much fail and consternation, he eventually gets it right}}.

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: His Noble Phantasm. The ability to project all the pain of an attack back at the attacker? Great. The fact that he has to ''take'' that attack AND stay conscious through the agony of getting the crap kicked out of him in order to do so? Less great. It works in certain situations though, like {{spoiler|taking an attack at full force and then reflecting the injury on the attacker to let Bazett finish them off}}. It may count as a [[Death or Glory Attack]] depending on how you look at it.

* [[Wisdom Fromfrom the Gutter]]: When he's serious, he can say some pretty insightful things to Bazett.

[[File:saber_fsnsaber fsn.jpg|frame]]

* [[Anti -Magic]]: An innate ability of the Saber class is practical immunity to magic.

* [[Bad Liar]]: She's not used to being embarrassed, so when she lies about something embarrassing it's really obvious. Like claiming that she was testing exercise equipment for demonic possession.

* [[Jeanne D 'Archetype]]: She's unexpectedly a very straight example. She is an expert swordswoman, was born humble but became the leader of her people, pretended to be male, and was eventually betrayed by her people. It's often the first guess as to her true identity, including [[Fate /Zero (Literature)|in-story]].

* [[One -Handed Zweihander]]: You can unlock a wallpaper of her dual wielding Excalibur and Caliburn. While the swords are of a fairly realistic size and not the hugely exaggerated sort that is often seen for this, you also have to take into account that Saber barely hits five feet tall and has a rather waifish build. But it sure looks cool.

* [[Pimped -Out Dress]]

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: ''[[All There in the Manual|Fate/complete material]]'' gives the official romanization for her name as ''Altria'', while mirror-moon's translation gives ''Arturia''.

* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: This is rather hilarious, because she can actually [[WalkWalking Onon Water]], since she's got the blessing of the Lady of the Lake.

* [[Super -Powered Evil Side]]: Saber Alter seems to be back. Sort of.

{{quote| '''Saber Alter:''' Lunch. [[Gratuitous English|NOW]]! ''<munch>'' Like always, your food is terrible.}}

* [[WalkWalking Onon Water]]: Saber was given this ability by the Lady of the Lake, but as a result she can't swim. Her trip to the water park with Shirou to learn is both hilarious and heartwarming.

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: She seems absolutely horrified by a simple octopus in Shirou's fridge. Her statements of the matter imply she thinks that they're the same abominations summoned by Caster in the Fourth War. Upon seeing what she has been eating up until this point she refuses to eat them anymore, marking the first well cooked food item that she won't touch.

==== Voiced by: [[Junichi Suwabe]] (JP), [[Liam O 'Brien|Liam O' Brien]] (EN) ====

[[File:archer_fsnarcher fsn.jpg|frame]]

* [[Dark -Skinned Blond]]: Though it's not natural.

* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Kanshou and Bakuya.

* [[Jerkass]]: [[Badass|Badassery]]ery aside, Archer can be a real dick sometimes.

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]

* [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]

[[File:lancer_fsnlancer fsn.jpg|frame]]

* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]

* [[One -Hit Kill]]: The entire point of Gae Bolg's activated ability.

* [[One -Man Army]]: Literally. As told in the story of his life he tells to Shirou, he was the ''only'' person able to fight for Ulster due to a Geas on the male populace that he escaped via loophole. And he ''won'' the war, killing thousands of people per day or winning every duel he came upon.

* [[Red BaronSobriquet]]: "Cú Chulainn" means "Culann's hound". In-game, he's also referred to as "Ireland's Man of Light" on top of this. Caren amuses herself by referring to him as "dog".

* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]

* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: The final result of him unleashing Gae Bolg on Bazette, who has used Fragarach. Anyone else going against her would die via Fragarach upon unleashing his Noble Phantasm.

* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: You can see him doing any number of jobs about the town as well as fishing. [[The Ace|He's still good at everything, even being a florist.]]

[[File:rider_fsnrider fsn.jpg|frame]]

The [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|tall, dark, silent, gorgeous]] Servant of Sakura, Rider seems to have relaxed greatly after the Grail War. While a very nice person, Rider's first priority is still Sakura and would [[Poisonous Friend|absorb the entire town using Bloodfort Andromeda to keep her safe if necessary.]] Her identity and backstory as Medusa is expanded on as compared to ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]].''

* [[Anti -Magic]]: Rider has innate magic resistance as part of her class, although it's not quite Saber's level.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: And she even has the [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor]] best known for [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] characters (see above)!

* [[The Tease]]: Rider loves teasing Shirou... provided Sakura isn't around. With ''hollow ataraxia'' following more [[Unwanted Harem]] tropes than ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'', you can bet [[Moment Killer|Sakura]] walks in just about every single time.

* [[What Beautiful Eyes!]]: Apparently, they're really fascinating. There ''is'' the whole problem of them being eyes of petrification, but the effects can be lowered.

[[File:berserker_fsnberserker fsn.jpg|frame]]

{{quote| ''"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!"''}}

* [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]]: Referred to in-game as an ''axe''-sword, and for good reason.

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Extreme height difference between him and his Master, Ilya. He's around nine feet tall, and she's roughly four. And due to scaling up with size, he's a lot wider as well.

* [[Screaming Warrior]]: To the point that he punctuates practically ''every other blow'' with a roar.

* [[The Voiceless]]: While insane, he only roars -- androars—and the visual novel makes a point of emphasizing the wordlessness of his roars by always denoting them with "▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!". No "GRAAHH", no "RRAAARR", no any of the usual "stock" SFX for screaming/yelling/roaring. Just '''blank rectangles'''.

* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Being incapable of any strategy more complicated than [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]] usually doesn't matter when you can shatter buildings with a single blow and move faster than the human eye can follow. [[The Worf Effect|In theory, anyway]].

[[File:caster_fsncaster fsn.jpg|frame|[[Beautiful All Along|Yes, that's Caster without the hood]]]]

Currently both Servant and newly wed wife of Kuzuki Souichirou, Caster appears to have calmed down a great deal in ''hollow ataraxia'' though she still comes across as being slightly evil. Though she is the Servant most inclined towards plots and grand schemes, Shirou knows that she has everything she wanted in the first place and thus has no cause to start trouble. Since she is much less troublesome than she was in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' she's somewhat more friendly with the cast in general, viewing Sakura as something of a little sister and treating Shirou like a complete annoyance in her daily life while appearing to actually respect him.

Caster is the physically weakest Servant except maybe for Avenger and relies mostly on her powerful anti-Army magic, her boosted master and skeletal [[Mooks]] to fight for her; [[Squishy Wizard|she does less well in single combat]]. She also has a Noble Phantasm called ''Rule Breaker'', a dagger which can [[Anti -Magic|dispel any sorceries]] on anything it pierces, including contracts between Servants and Masters.

* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]/[[Otaku Surrogate]]: Has an interest in dressing people up in interesting clothing. There's even a subtle reference to the [[Go -Go Enslavement]] scene from ''Unlimited Blade Works'' where she sends clothing to her former victim that horribly embarrasses her, but it goes undescribed. Mid conversation, she thinks it might be fun to dress up Issei instead. [[Imagine Spot|It's very... frilly.]]

* [[Neutral Evil]]: [[In -Universe]] alignment.

[[File:assassin_fsnassassin fsn.jpg|frame]]

* [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]]: His Monohoshizao, which is 170 &nbsp;cm long.

[[File:gilgamesh_fsngilgamesh fsn.jpg|frame]]

* [[Fan Nickname]]: "Kin-Pika/Goldie", thanks to an [[In -Series Nickname]] by Rin.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]

{{quote| '''Ko-Gil:''' Aaah.....I see, nurture over nature....You have my condolences.<br />

'''Ko-Gil:''' You must have had some boss and some coworker for you to turn out into such a straight ma.... (Talking to Lancer)<br />

'''Gilgamesh:''' What are you doing? Why don't we hurry this up and take a, break....., oh, ooooooh ooooooooooh!!!!??<br />

'''Gilgamesh:''' I'm in the Brilliant Blind Date Zone of Absolute Destiny! Lancer, what is that adorable little thing!? Is it God!?<br />

'''Ko-Gil:''' ......<br />

'''Caren:''' I wouldn't have expected any less of you, King of Heroes. As long as it's blonde and has the body of a child, anything's fine right. But, that's a boy you know?<br />

'''Gilgamesh:''' Mrph. Fool, don't underestimate me peon! As long as it's cute, it's A-O-K. The true hero is not concerned with the likes of male and female!<br />

'''Caren:''' Oh my. Not only are you self-righteous, exclusionistic, self-centered, and imperialistic, but to think that you're also narcissistic....<br />

'''Ko-Gil:''' Ahahahaha. Everyone, let's finish this guy off first.<br />

* [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]: To the point where after reverting himself to that age, even he is appalled at what a jerk he turned out to be. Though he still does have a bit of an edge to him.

[[File:taiga_fujimurataiga fujimura.jpg|frame]]

Taiga's life and connections are more expanded upon than in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' but is otherwise basically the same as can be seen in her entry here being almost exactly the same.

* [[Badass Normal]]: [[Word of God]] states that her mastery of Kenjutsu (Japanese Swordsmanship) is equal to that of Ryougi Shiki, the most fearsome warrior the [[Kara no Kyoukai (Literature):|Kara no Kyoukai]] sub: [[Nasuverse]]. Too bad she's definitely a normal.

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: Of sorts, to Kiritsugu; she reminded him of [[Fate /Zero (Literature)|his deceased childhood friend, Shirley]].

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Taiga seems to be actively trying to hook Shirou up with Sakura, which may explain her prior disapproval of allowing other females into the Kiritsugu household. Unfortunately, since Sakura doesn't approve of her more blunt attempts and teasing and has grown bolder, this has started to backfire on her.

[[File:issei_ryudoissei ryudo.jpg|frame]]

{{quote| ''"What’s so good...? What’s with you doing all this for nothing?!"''}}

* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: Caster mentions being disappointed at having no one to dress up in pretty clothes and Shirou mentions that she could always use Issei, leading to a brief imagine spot as she considers the idea. Granted, we only see Shirou's imagination of what he might be wearing... But it's [https://web.archive.org/web/20170918235510/http://imgh.us/fha_issei.png awfully frilly].

* [[First -Name Basis]]: With Shirou

* [[He -Man Woman Hater]]: His relationship with Caster appears slightly strained and he gets along better with her than most. He does seem to like Saber though and Shirou seems to think he has [[Foe Yay]] with Tohsaka.

* [[Shy Blue -Haired Girl|Shy Blue Haired Guy]]: He's supposed to be really shy. Of course, all his scenes are with his best friend.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Issei is fairly standard, but Ryuudou can and has also be transliterated as Ryuudou, Ryudou, Ryūdō, or Ryûdô depending on source.

[[File:Luviagelita_Edelfelt_2805Luviagelita Edelfelt 2805.png|frame]]

* [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign]]: Luviagelita? Really?

* [[NoblewomansNoblewoman's Laugh]]: Mostly in ''Unlimited Codes''.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Some people call her Luvia Zeritta instead of Luviagelita.

[[File:SellaLeysritt_5712SellaLeysritt 5712.jpg|frame|Yup, they look like this under that [[Meido]] outfit.]]

* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Leysritt is as strong as a Servant, and her [[Weapon of Choice]] is a huge halberd. As Archer points out in an amusing rant in [[DevelopersDeveloper's Room|the Tohsaka shrine]], the weapon would be far too large to be practical for her size unless she also had insane strength. Sella, on the other hand, is either normal or fairly flat and similarly possesses merely human strength.

* [[Non -Standard Character Design]]: As noted in the Tiger Dojo they're drawn somewhat differently than the main cast.

[[Those Two Guys|Those three girls]] of the track team of Homurabara High School, they have one brief appearance in the ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' proloque as Rin's friends. After establishing that, they disappear for the rest of the game. In ''hollow ataraxia'' their roles have been expanded upon greatly: Yukika is the manager, Kane is the star jumper, and Kaede is the star sprinter. [[DevelopersDeveloper's Room|Tohsaka shrine]] revealed that the creators quite liked Yukika, but had to be restrained from stuffing her into many more scenes.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: They make two appearances throughout ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'': one in the actual game, one in [[Have a Nice Death|Tiger Dojo]]. They have quite a few scenes in ''hollow ataraxia'', though.

* [[Red BaronSobriquet]]: Kaede likes to be called the "Black Panther of Homurabara".

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Barely more important than the three girls above in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'', she becomes a more recurring part of the cast in Ataraxia and even gains a little brother.

* [[Club President]]: Archery club captain in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'', she handed down the position to Sakura, who turns out to be surprisingly good at it. This leads to a power dynamic that is compared to rock paper scissors: Sakura scolds Taiga, Taiga uses her kendo credentials for sympathy from Ayako and Ayako uses her experience to shut Sakura down on the basis of not being able to control Taiga.

* [[Green -Eyed Monster]]: Obviously jealous of Shirou, though he also seems to respect him and is not above asking him for help about a good gift for Sakura.
