The hugely popular app game "Fate/Grand Order". It has been downloaded over 13 million times and is currently a very popular smartphone app. In fact, it has been decided that "Fate/Grand Order" will be made into a TV anime in 2019! It will be called "Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia". I'm sure fans of the original app are excited by this news. In this article, we will introduce the main heroine of this work, "Mash", also known as "Mash Kyrielight", in detail. Let's take a look!
The main heroine of this work! What kind of character is Mash Kyrielight?
Mash, also known as "Mash Kyrielight". This is a girl from the "Human Order Preservation Organization (Chaldea)" that appears in "Fate/Grand Order" and the heroine of this work.
She is the first person the protagonist, who was selected as a Master candidate, meets in Chaldea. She calls the protagonist "senpai" and treats him kindly. A cute girl whose trademark is glasses.
Suddenly falls seriously ill!
Mash suddenly falls into a serious crisis at the beginning of the story. She was assigned to Team A during the rayshift experiment to "Singularity F", but she gets caught up in the explosion that followed. It's a pretty big deal, and even the protagonist, who has no medical knowledge, can tell at a glance that it's too late. Her lower body was crushed by rubble, as expected, but in the midst of the burning flames, Mash asks the protagonist to "hold her hand."
What is Mash Kyrielight's personality like?
From here on, I will explain her personality. Mash has a serious and gentle personality, and is very polite. Although she sometimes shows a natural side, she also has a kind heart that is considerate and caring for others. However, on the other hand, she gives the impression of being a cool girl. Furthermore, she doesn't say much. Although she is often thought of as a quiet girl by those around her, she is curious and has a very active side. Although she may seem modest at first glance, she can sometimes be surprisingly pushy. However, perhaps because she has little experience in communication, her lines can sometimes be a little unique, and as a result, she can sometimes be quite straightforward. By the way, her hobby is reading. Since it was one of her few entertainments, she seems to have read a lot and has a wealth of knowledge. Her favorite genre is mystery.
What is Mash like in battle?
So, what is Mash like in battle? This is a matter of her qualities and aptitude, but she is basically afraid of battles. She is not originally a person who fights, so it can't be helped. However, even though she has always had a fearful side, she struggles to protect her senior (the protagonist). When Mash faces a problem in her own heart, she often worries for a long time, but in the end, she can be said to be the type who even uses that to her advantage. Therefore, she knows that running away just because she is worried is not good for her.
Other facts
By the way, it's hard to tell from her usual appearance in her white coat, but she actually has a very good figure. Because of this, sometimes the servants around her react in a way that seems like sexual harassment. She also seems to have a weakness for alcohol, and in the high-difficulty events "Rashomon: The Demonic Demonic Capital" and "Tenma Otogi Zoushi: Onigashima", she was exposed to a high concentration of "demonic alcohol" and was seen to become intoxicated.
What is Mash Kyrielight's interesting background?
From here, we will introduce Mash's interesting background. According to Romani Archaman at the beginning of Chapter 6, Mash was born in the year 2000. And she has been working as an employee at Chaldea since she was about 15 years old. Previously, she was the top of Chaldea's Master Candidate A Team, and had a very good record. Then, on the morning of her 16th birthday, she has a fateful encounter with the protagonist who came to Chaldea.
Why do they call her "senpai"?
Mash calls the protagonist "senpai" and adores him. It is not known why she calls him "senpai". However, Professor Lev says that "everyone around her age is a senior to her". However, the protagonist was the first person to call her "senpai" explicitly. She started working at Chaldea about two years ago, and her knowledge of Chaldea is limited to "a crocodile that sneaked in leisurely." Mashu's birth also seems to have a complicated history, and the hospital scene in the opening video, her meaningful smile, and the words of Professor Lev and Dr. Roman deepen the mystery.
The protagonist's dream
A Master (protagonist) who has made a contract with a Servant dreams of the Servant's past memories. When the protagonist made a contract with Mashu, a scene appeared in which someone in what seemed to be a hospital room was called "Number Two" by a familiar figure, who said that he had lived for about 14 years and was "allowed to exist today as well." Furthermore, in the dream the protagonist had in Chapter 5, he learned that he no longer feared losing his memory, that his body was unable to survive unless he was in a sterile room, that he had never actually been outside the outside world and only knew about it in virtual space, and that he would soon be able to live outside the sterile room.
About the spelling of the name
By the way, we also found out something about the spelling of "Mash". According to the event "Much Ado About Nothing with the Chocolate Lady - Valentine 2016-", her spelling was "Matthew". It is of Hebrew origin and means "gift from God". In fact, this was the spelling of Matthew, a saint who was one of the twelve apostles. However, after this, the spelling of Mash that appeared in other media was different from this. Therefore, it is not quite clear which spelling represents her personality.
What exactly are Mash Kyrielight's abilities?
Although she tends to be scared in battle, Mash is a hard worker. What are her abilities? In fact, Mash's physical abilities themselves are not that good to begin with. Because of this, she always had to stay after training for combat, and she was at a level where she couldn't even do a back flip. However, it is surprising that at that time, her master aptitude was the top of Class A.
She has a lot of knowledge
Mashu is attached to the mysterious creature "Fou". Because of this, she cannot even converse with it, but she can somehow communicate with it. By the way, her hobby is reading, so she has a lot of knowledge and is good at studying. She seems to have a wide range of knowledge, from the era of the Rayshift to the knowledge of Heroic Spirits.
When she is involved in an explosion accident
When Mashu is involved in an explosion accident, she fuses with a Heroic Spirit whose true name is unknown due to the emergency situation. She then officially becomes a Demi-Servant. By the way, her class is Shielder, and as her name suggests, her main ability is to protect. Since the name of the original Heroic Spirit is unknown, the Noble Phantasm is used as a virtual Noble Phantasm, "Pseudo-Deployment/Foundation of Humanity (Lord Chaldeas)". By the way, the name of this Heroic Spirit will be explained in detail in Chapter 6.
A thorough explanation of the people around Mash!
From here on, we will thoroughly explain the people around Mash.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, a reliable "senior"
Fujimaru Ritsuka is the name of the protagonist in the game. By the way, this name will be used for both male and female protagonists. For Mash, the protagonist is her most trusted "senior" and her lifesaver. By the way, when the protagonist is friendly with other Servants, she has a sulky attitude, but Mash herself does not recognize it as love. By the way, the level of the bond between the protagonist and Mash will grow as the main scenario progresses.
Romani Archaman
Romani is Chaldea's doctor. Mash cuts him off, calling him a "useless person," and when there is a communication problem during a mission, she directly complains about her dissatisfaction. Although she treats him so badly, she actually has a side to her that trusts his personality. By the way, at the beginning of Chapter 7, there is a scene where she consults him about the meaning of life and existence. She is encouraged by his words and replies, "I want to thank you for all the kindness you have shown me so far."
Da Vinci-chan
Da Vinci-chan is the third initial summoned Heroic Spirit of Chaldea. Mash also recognizes her excellence and is grateful for her consideration. However, she seems to be wary of her troublemaking ways.
Olga Marie Animusphere
Director of Chaldea. Mash herself clearly acknowledges his bad personality, calling him a "villain who is not a villain". However, he also seems to have a certain sympathy for her, given her excellence and the many worries she has.
Fou
Fou is a mysterious small animal that runs around Chaldea. By the way, Mash calls him "Fou-san". Until the main character arrived, he was rarely seen in front of anyone other than Mash, and seems to be attached only to Mash and the main character.
Lef Rainol
Lef Rainol is an advisor to Chaldea. He used to be Mash's magic instructor. Perhaps because of this, even after his betrayal was revealed, Mash is unable to completely hate him.
Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes is a servant who later joined Chaldea. Mash loves reading, especially mysteries, so she couldn't hide her excitement when she met him.
Unexpected! A little story about Mash Kyrielight
Mash was originally the heroine who was supposed to appear in the PC version of "Fate/stay night." She was supposed to be a beautiful girl with an "abandoned puppy" look, and by this time her current appearance was already reflected in her design. At that time, Mash's prototype was a design with a sad atmosphere, with one eye hidden by her hair. By the way, the setting at that time was that, like Gilgamesh, she was a servant who survived the Fourth Holy Grail War, and furthermore, she was a stray servant who killed her master and went berserk.
She was a character that was originally going to be scrapped!
However, as those who know the whole series will know, there are quite a lot of characters in the work, so Mash (the prototype) was not allowed to appear. After that, it was eventually scrapped. After that, in the TV anime produced by Studio Deen, it was planned for her to appear as a replacement for Kojiro in an original story for the anime. But it was scrapped again. Now she is a very popular main heroine, but she has been scrapped twice. However, when the anime project was underway, the detailed design of the shield and other parts had been firmly decided, so it was thought that it would be a waste not to use her as she was, and she was the first to see the light of day in this work.
Summary of introductions about Mash Kyrielight!
That's all for the introduction of the heroine of this work, "Mash Kyrielight"! As the main heroine, she's very cute. She has a modest and kind personality, but her appearance when she stands up to protect her senior (the protagonist) is very touching. I'm sure we'll be able to see her in various other roles in the future. I'm really looking forward to seeing Mash move in the anime!
