| With the decline in activity, I think I would attempt to spark discussion by reminding ourselves why we love Fate. I'll start, Fate had remarkable character development from S1 to Strikers starting out as this shy, sort of mysterious girl to becoming very openly caring. |
| My vision is augmented. |
| She is just so beautiful as a character. Tragic past, lonely childhood, unconventional upbringing and subsequent alienation from peers, a huge amount of sheer raw magical power, and an enduring and undeniable infatuation with Nanoha. She's someone that has been through so much, and yet always comes out a better person because of it. And to top it all off, she is absolutely gorgeous as an adult, and adorable as a loli. The Crème de la Crème of moe. Because 4 lines of text isn't enough to describe Fate: She's a character who has unwavering loyalty to a select few people(mostly Nanoha; and Precia in the first season)and I find that far more endearing than a character who tries to please and be friends with everyone. Sure, she's friendly to most people, but you can tell how much more certain people mean to her, compared to everyone else. And despite being a complete bad ass in battle she still retains a modest persona. And the dream eater sequence in A's engraved into my mind a stricter criteria for what defines a good character, because I had never before seen such unbelievable development in such short a time. She gave up the past she always dreamed of for the friend she now has in the present. Give almost any other character that same opportunity, and they would almost certainly chose the past. On a final note, I may not have brought up StrikerS Fate as much, but I love her all the same. I just feel nearly all of Fate's development happened during the first two seasons. By StrikerS she was already perfected, and put what she's learned to action. And it was glorious, but not something that can really be explained in Vivid detail. She kicks ass, okay! Yeah, I'm just rambling now. D: I could go on, but I've said my key points. |
| I haven't watched StrikerS as of yet, so I can only judge her based on the first two seasons. The moment she appeared in the first season to challenge Nanoha, I knew there was something special about her. Every time she encountered and fought Nanoha, you could see the emptiness she had inside her. However, during the scenes with Arf and her mother, some of her true feelings seem to seep through. At the end of the first season, you can see just how loyal and willing she was. Despite the brutal abuse she took from her mother, and all the help she received from Nanoha prior to that, she was still willing to take her mother's side. That moment took me by surprise, and I also found it very touching. The second season displays a more timid and tender side to her character that was only really present in the final events of the first season. While she was indeed a caring and loving character, that did not hamper her ability to kick ass during battle. Able to go toe to toe with Signum. The scene where she finally gets to reunite with her sister and mother was also bitter sweet. I usually do not get so emotionally whenever I watch anything, but I seriously felt happy for her that she was able to see them again. Fate all around is just an awesome character. From my perspective, and many others here I bet, she is above everyone else. She has her strengths and weakness you could say, but that just makes her more of a believable character and someone you can't not admire. Fate is synonymous with goddess. |

| I believe the one thing that draws me to Fate is her level of perseverance, especially during the final battle of A's where she broke free of dream world imposed by the Book of Darkness. She could have allowed the past to drag her back, but kept going to thrive in the present and future. |
| Sore wa himitsu desu. |
| Pencil_P? That's Ironic. The internet doesn't feel so massive at times. :3 |
| I am, but lets not talk about that part of the internet. :3 Well, meeting and recognizing some one under a different name in two different parts of the internet. Can't be too common. We do share a similar interest in a particular character, though. :3 |
