tachie (fate)

A heroine of Fate/stay night introduced in Fate/unpublished material and Shielder-class Servant of Ernest Gravehill.

Known as the Stray Servant (はぐれ サーヴァント), she was a heroine candidate during the development of Fate/stay night who was left unused in the final version. She was considered along with Rider and Caster to be a possible heroine, but she was cut due to the plot beginning to stray so as to keep it manageable for the player. As Saber is a "Servant of the Sword", she was to be her rival as a Shielder, "Servant of the Shield."

The design was later revived for Fate/Grand Order in 2015 for Kinoko Nasu to allow her to be one of the main heroines along with Saber and Ruler, thus becoming Mash Kyrielight. She is featured in the doujin game Fate/Empire of Dirt.
