Tamamo-no-Mae

Description \ Bio

Tamamo-no-Mae, Class Name Caster, is the Caster-class Servant available to be chosen by Hakuno Kishinami in the Moon Cell Holy Grail War in Fate/EXTRA and Fate/EXTRA CCC. She is one of the Servants of Ritsuka Fujimaru of the Grand Orders conflicts of Fate/Grand Order. Tamamo is a therianthrope being with the appearance of a human possessing fox characteristics such as the ears and tail. She doesn't mind being called a fox since she thinks they are cute especially their fluffy ears. Tamamo has yellow eyes and long pink hair that she keeps tied up. She has a Shapeshift skill that allows her to borrow and change to appearances with other people, however she does not feel like making much of using this skill due to a trauma of the past that resulted in her death. It is said that she is equivalent to China's thousand year old Huli jing. Daji is a Huli jing from the Shang Zhou Revolutionary Period, being well known within the Fengshen Yanyi Chinese novel. Daji also possesses this skill and the ability to somehow identify with Tamamo-no-Mae. Assassin, whose origin is from China identifies her to be Daji, calling her uncivilized and vicious fox. A beautiful half-human half-beast girl with fox ears and tail who is always seen smiling, but is also known for her sharp, sometimes biting remarks. Often serving as comic relief, she embodies a light-hearted personality, appearing goofy and cheerful. She uses contemporary speech and presents herself as an enthusiastic "Gal-type" Servant, although her cheerfulness can sometimes be a facade to mask her underlying feelings of loneliness. In contrast to her carefree demeanor, she takes in-game weekly battles and situations seriously, and tends not to dwell on the consequences of combat. She occasionally makes remarks that may be challenging to comprehend, stemming from a perspective that values freedom and a pragmatic, realistic view of the world. Her sardonic and cutting way of speaking, delivered in a caustic manner, leads some to perceive her as possessing an "evil" or "lustful" nature. However, in the context of the Master and Servant relationship, she displays a completely contrary demeanor. She readily forms attachments and displays unwavering loyalty to the individual she serves. Her dedication to Hakuno remained steadfast until the conclusion of their journey, aspiring to stand by their side beyond the cycle of reincarnation. She develops romantic feelings for Hakuno, assuming the role of a devoted partner, irrespective of their gender. Her deepest desire is not linked to the attainment of the Holy Grail, but to be a devoted partner to Hakuno, prioritizing love above all else. Her understanding of love was shaped from observing humans, finding it peculiar in how they found joy in revering her representation of Amaterasu. Witnessing this adoration inspired her to reciprocate that devotion to someone else. Reflecting on her own experiences, she values the intentions behind one's actions, considering them crucial. She is resolute in her commitment to serving only those with genuinely good intentions, regardless of their identity or reputation. This principle is unwavering and fundamental to her character. Despite her fame, her desire is to serve her loved one contentedly. She takes immense pleasure in preparing meals for her partner, finding joy in watching them relish the food. Additionally, she appreciates receiving gifts from her partner, although she prefers thoughtful offerings over those of trivial value. Tamamo is prone to jealousy, citing frustration over Hakuno's relationship with Rin/Rani and refusal to lose to them. She is often quite suggestive to Hakuno and can make crude remarks. When angered or insulted, she exhibits a tendency to respond vehemently, often resorting to hurling hostile insults and threats toward those who offend her or Hakuno. Additionally, she expresses surprise at Rani's exceptional proficiency in astrology, surpassing her own, stating a desire to meet Rani's instructor. In the wider spectrum of her character, it is speculated that Tamamo and Arcueid Brunestud could have a harmonious relationship owing to their shared basic origins.[13] When referred to as Daji by Assassin, Tamamo takes offense, retaliating by labeling Daji as an "evil, sadistic mongrel." At one point, Tamamo feels a connection to Vlad III, recognizing similarities in being misunderstood as a result of excessive love, quoting, "When you love too much, nobody can understand you anymore. And what people don't understand, they fear." Moreover, within the broader context of her personality, she derives enjoyment from trips to hot spring resorts, excluding the hot spring baths, and finds satisfaction in the act of cooking meals imbued with affection. Additionally, she takes pleasure in treating herself to presents. Conversely, she holds a dislike for dogs, individuals who disrupt her private moments with her Master, and only has a partial fondness for somewhat handsome men. She does not particularly appreciate excessively naive or airheaded personalities. Furthermore, it appears she has come to the realization that her somewhat feigned airhead persona falls short in comparison to genuine sincerity.
