==Profile==
===Identity===
A woman of astonishing beauty that served as a courtesan for toward the end of the (794-1185). She is publicly known as a , and is credited for catalyzing the downfall of the , among other powerful regimes. In the , she is associated with , a tantric deity whose Japanese interpretation rode upon a fox; her power is invoked in one of 's schemes for political influence.
In the Nasuverse, Tamamo-no-Mae is a soul originating directly from the sun goddess Amaterasu as a Divided Spirit and therefore a higher order of being than the Earth Spirit of myth. Her manifested form is actually a , who suffers the fate of bearing cursory resemblance to a . She is also frequently mistaken for an , or one of the many fox spirit messengers under the employment of .
Regarding her background, she became curious about the lives of her worshipers, whose seemingly inconsequential lives were a source of fascination. Most perplexing was their devotion toward a deity with no name or shape. At first, she wanted to scold these creatures for their weakness, and enact divine retribution upon evil-doers as was wont of the kin of a goddess. However, as she continued observing the human condition, she learned of their great capacity for perseverance.
Able to smile in happiness despite the dark acts of their brethren or their frail stature, one generation could easily shrug off the regrets of the last and continue to love. Tamamo-no-Mae soon desired to become a human so that she could experience these emotions. She then relinquished her divinity and memories to reincarnate, as a young human girl, in the old province of . Her childhood name while alive was .
As a child, she was said to be the human form of a white-faced, gold-furred nine-tailed fox. At the age of eighteen, she started serving the court of Emperor Toba, who had fallen in love with her at first sight. She became a court lady and called herself Tamamo-no-Mae. She would be his lady-in-waiting under her current name and was his favorite, possessing great beauty and knowledge. However, her divine origins would eventually be her undoing.
During 1008 AD, Tamamo was known as . It should be noted that this is 100 years before her lifetime as Mizukume.
One morning, her head had sprouted fox ears; she managed to conceal them for a month.Fate/Grand Order - Tamamo-no-Mae (Caster), Translation by Master of Chaos From there, the exact accounts vary, but what is clear is that she was exposed as a fox by an Onmyouji. By her accounts, it was Abe-no-Seimei, who had been investigating the cause of Toba's mysterious illness. Whether or not Mizukume led the emperor on or their love was real is uncertain, and countless tales of the matter had differing answers.
She fled from the inner sanctum of the Imperial Court. They sent hounds after her, and it was the first time in Japan that a fox had been hunted by Hounds. She fled and cried in the fields of because she was hunted by those who claimed to love her. Foxes gathered around her, saying things like "you have come a long way", and "what a rough journey you had". She wished the foxes to understand her feelings and hoped they would encourage her. It was then she realized who she truly was when the fox comforted her, stating "aah, what a fool I was". She was betrayed and hunted by the humans who feared her. She did nothing wrong, she only tried to help them prosper. She was forced to flee the village simply because she was not human. Her infamy grew at the plains of Nasu after fleeing from the court, where she met an eighty thousand man army that was dispatched at the behest of the retired emperor to kill her. The soldier came screaming "kill the fox demon!", and she tried to apologize to them but nobody listened. She fought back, yelling "all right, let's do this!", and killed everyone.
During the second encounter against the force, she regretted her actions and tried to reason with them. It rained arrows for three straight days and night and nothing seemed to click with them. Standing in a hail of arrows covered in blood, she cried "I was not trying to fool anyone. I'll leave now so please just forget all about me." The assault continued from the humans who were filled with hatred, and she realized humans were fragile and their lives were precious. They were narrow minded, filled with hatred and self-righteousness. She was wrong from the beginning, much like the humans and religion. Her perspective influenced her belief. Even though a goddess, she was a fool and she didn't realize her mistake until her final moments. No matter how much humans respect God, and through priesthood try to understand and be one of them, their efforts are wasted. "There is no way for a human to become a god", Tamamo no Mae died screaming when shot by an enchanted arrow. She was hunted and killed as an enemy of mankind. She doesn't want revenge because there are things that even a goddess can't do. She was killed trying to defend herself against an army of 80,000 soldiers sent by the emperor.
Her corpse was said to have become the , which released a problematic cursed poison that killed approaching people and animals until it was shattered by the monk and its fragments dispersed to three places in Japan named . Furthermore, the remnants that were scattered at that occasion became Osaki Kitsunes and Inukamis and said to have been turned into familiars by many Magus from various places.
She cannot be called a human-spawned Heroic Spirit as the facet of a goddess, but she willingly embraces the role in order to "become a good wife." Accepting the limits inherent in the role of a Servant, many of her original powers have been sealed away.
 Even before becoming a servant, she killed untold numbers of people, possibly holding the world record for murder.
Despite the connection with Daji, in “Fate Extra” she is the imperial deity of Japan Amaterasu no Okami, not only that her true form is a deep fallen god who is also considered the Buddha Dainichi Nyorai Vairocana.

She has a 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 . Daji is a Huli jing from the Shang Zhou Revolutionary Period, being well known within the 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.

===Personality===
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. 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.

====Extella/Zero ====
In the retold events of Fate/EXTRA leading to Fate/EXTELLA, Tamamo was Atrum Galliasta's Servant, and encountered Hakuno and Nero during 4th round. Artrum ordered her to seduce Hakuno into giving up the war, but she fell in love with Hakuno instead. During the Elimination fight, Atrum lost to Hakuno, so he used his sacrificial magecraft to burn Tamamo as a scapegoat.

====Flame Poem====
Tamamo orders Elizabeth to invade Nero Claudius’ territory of Mare Aurum, but it’s ultimately suppressed by Nero’s forces. She reveals herself when Nero is preparing to take Hakuno to her room to heal their sudden fatigue. Nero tells Hakuno that they allied with Tamamo during the war, who was planning to take the Holy Grail for herself. Her aspirations came to nothing though as Tamamo accuses Nero of pushing her off the path to the Angelica Cage, but Nero denies the accusation. (Nero and Tamamo are in truth telling their own version of what transpired in the war’s climax due to their love rivalry with Hakuno.) Saying Hakuno will be hers soon, she agrees with Nero that Hakuno needs to rest. Declaring war on Nero, she shows she also possesses the Regalia, the ring of authority in SE.RA.PH, to Nero’s shock. Another Hakuno then appears, and Tamamo mocks Nero’s confusion at the existence of two Hakunos. She proclaims herself and her Hakuno as the rulers of SE.RA.PH. She reveals she already conquered half of SE.RA.PH within in the last few days. Telling Nero to prepare herself and she cannot be stopped, Tamamo leaves with the other Hakuno.Fate/EXTELLA - Flame Poem Arc; Chapter 2: Questioning Authority -Mare Melum, City of Lost Destiny-Fate/EXTELLA - Flame Poem Arc; Chapter 3: Sword of the Millennium Capital -Mare Luxuria, the Capital of Lust-
Later, Tamamo and Hakuno’s Soul encounters Nero and Hakuno’s Mind when they came to her territory of Mare Luxuria. Nero infuriates her for wanting to steal her Master in order to restore her own. Rejecting Nero’s request of surrender, she calls her naïve, and challenges her as she tells Mind she’ll free them from Nero. Returning to her palace, Tamamo orders her forces to attack Nero and her forces. However, she and her forces are defeated by Nero’s forces and herself. Lamenting her defeat, she waits to be executed by Nero when Soul appears to protect her. Soul’s faith in her overjoys her, and she considers herself foolish for getting them involved in her conquest of SE.RA.PH. After confessing her love for Hakuno, she is spared by Nero. The appearance of the system engineer, Archimedes, however interrupts any discussion on the Hakunos. Tamamo decides to give her Regalia to Nero, as per the terms of her surrender. She remains true to them even after Archimedes reveals unifying the Regalias means unifying the Hakunos, despite Nero’s concerns. Suddenly, Elizabeth appears and steals the Regalia from her, declaring she’ll to conquer SE.RA.PH. However, the Regalia overload after Elizabeth put in on as it rejects her. After the Regalia destroys itself, Tamamo retreats with Soul, warning Nero of her upcoming burdens as ruler of SE.RA.PH.Fate/EXTELLA - Flame Poem Arc; Chapter 4: Top Servant -Mare Origo, Stormy Sea Palace-Fate/EXTELLA - Flame Poem Arc; Chapter 5: Extella of the Umbral Star I -Mare Cancer, the Titan's Dark Tomb-
====Orchid Words====
Greeting the newly awoken Hakuno over the intercom, Tamamo orders Elizabeth to bring them to the throne room. There she speaks to them in a threatening demeanor. But seeing they aren’t falling for it, she drops the act, and properly greets them. She then orders Elizabeth to announce her as the ruler of SE.RA.PH and wielder of the Regalia. Tamamo corrects her that Hakuno rules alongside her, then tells Hakuno of their victory in the Holy Grail War. She asks Hakuno if they remember everything of their relationship, and she’s delighted to hear they do. Tamamo explains how they became the rulers of SE.RA.PH with their victory in the war, but she’s interrupted by the appearance of Archimedes. He pledges his loyalty to her and Hakuno, and Tamamo thanks him for bringing her Master back to her palace. However, she quickly threatens him for interrupting her moment with Hakuno. Apologizing for his impertinence, Archimedes tells her of the oncoming danger to SE.RA.PH, which he says only Tamamo and Hakuno can resolve. Tamamo explains to him they need to defeat all opposing Servants first. However, Archimedes tells her again she needs to resolve the threat to SE.RA.PH, which enrages her. After Hakuno calms her down, she states the danger to SE.RA.PH doesn’t concern her as she only wants to live happily with Hakuno. Tamamo electrocutes Elizabeth when she says Tamamo will keep searching for joy beyond Hakuno. She tells Hakuno she wants to live a luxurious life with them, not caring about anything else. Archimedes realizes he can’t force her to take action when Tamamo senses intruder in the palace. Medusa suspects the intruder is Assassin, calling palace security to useless. Tamamo introduces her to Hakuno as a Solo Servant she recruited as a spy. Lu Bu and Karna then appear to introduce themselves to Hakuno, which makes Tamamo concerned about their priorities when there’s an intruder. After introducing her generals, she orders them to stop the intruder.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Chapter 1: Tamamo Extella -Mare Luxuria, the Capital of Lust-
Outside the palace, Tamamo forcibly absorbs Hakuno into the Regalia to keep them safe with her as she heads into battle. After defeating Li Shuwen, she boasts to Hakuno how they’ll govern an eternally peaceful SE.RA.PH, but Nero appears to criticize her intent. Nero announces she’ll stop Tamamo, which Tamamo considers futile. She is shocked Hakuno remembers fighting alongside Nero in the Grail War. She regards Nero as an enemy though, recalling how Nero pushed off her the path to the Angelica Cage in the war's climax. Tamamo is initially left confused by the appearance of another Hakuno whose asked by Nero regarding Tamamo’s claim. However, she already knew Hakuno was split into their Mind and their Soul, which is the one she’s with. Nero states the true threat to Moon Cell approaches, but Tamamo considers everything besides Hakuno to be trivial. Nero announces to her she’ll stop her from ruling SE.RA.PH, and absorbs Hakuno’s Mind into her Regalia. Tamamo is angered that she has the other Regalia and activates her Moon Crux form to fight Nero. However, neither of them can overpower the other, even though Nero hasn’t activated her full power. Nero leaves disappointed in Tamamo following her selfish desires, which Tamamo agrees with. She and Hakuno then return to her throne room before heading to her room to rest since she used too much mana. She later disagrees with Hakuno on not wanting her to fight Nero.
The next morning, Tamamo greets Hakuno the very moment they wake up as she lies atop of them. She declares to them she’ll stay by their side forever as their beloved. Further infatuated by Hakuno’s silence at her words, Tamamo prepares to make love to Hakuno. However, she is interrupted by Elizabeth, whose promptly electrocuted as punishment. Tamamo prepares to punish her further with fire, but she stops when Elizabeth apologizes for transgression. No longer amused by Elizabeth’s torture, she tells Hakuno to go to the throne room.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Chapter 2: Questioning Authority -Mare Melum, City of Lost Destiny-
There Archimedes tells Tamamo to defeat Nero, which gladdens Tammao to see he finally sees her way. Archimedes then explains to her how her and Nero’s Regalia can become one, and that she’ll need to invade Nero’s territory to defeat her. Elizabeth comments they need to save Mind, but Tamamo dismisses her. She says there’s no need to save Mind since she already has Soul with her. Declaring they only need to restore the Regalia to conquer SE.RA.PH, she heads to the battle with Hakuno.
Her forces invade Mare Mellum while Nero’s forces were conquering it to take over the neutral sectors before Nero’s forces do. After conquering Mare Mellum’s neutral sectors, Tamamo returns to her room with Hakuno. She prepares to make love to Hakuno again, but she is interrupted when Altera talks to Hakuno through a vision. Tamamo appears in the vision to save Hakuno and deduces Altera as the threat to SE.RA.PH. After Hakuno reawakens, Tamamo declares Altera to be an enemy, finally recognizing why Archimedes considers her a threat. She electrocutes Elizabeth twice for entering without permission. Afterwards, she orders Elizabeth to leave in response to Hakuno’s compassion for her. Later that night, Tamamo asks Hakuno if they admired Altera. Hearing their answer, she apologizes for doubting Hakuno’s love, and returning to sleeping next to them.
Tamamo congratulates her generals on their victories. Archimedes reports that her continuous victories have weakened Nero’s forces, and Nero’s base of Mare Aurum has been located. Tamamo’s forces prepare to march onto Mare Aurum, but before that she has Hakuno promise to let her make all battle decisions.
Arriving in Mare Aurum, Tamamo and Hakuno are confronted by Elizabeth. Tamamo reminds her to clean the palace, but Elizabeth reveals she resigned and her plans to turn SE.RA.PH into her personal playground. After Elizabeth says she’ll steal the Regalia, Tamamo asks her who put that thought into her head. She mocks her further by offering her a position as her court jester. After Elizabeth leaves declaring war on her, Tamamo tells Hakuno that Elizabeth is just someone’s puppet as she further insults her. She and Hakuno then fight their way through Nero’s forces, also defeating Gawain.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Chapter 3: Laughter in the Capital of Roses -Mare Aurum, the Capital of Roses-
Arriving in Nero’s palace, Tamamo dismisses Nero’s declaration that she’ll free Hakuno from her, stating Moon Cell chose her, not Nero. Declaring Mare Aurum is at its end, Tamamo and Nero fight each other. Tamamo defeats Nero and dismisses the latter’s words about saving the Earth since she lost. She prepares to finish Nero off, but Mind appears to protect Nero. She tells Mind that there’s no need to protect Nero since she lost and will lose her Regalia soon. She asks Mind to join her, but they refuse to leave Nero. She confesses how happy she was when the Regalia appeared on her finger after she failed to reach the Angelica Core in the war. However, she shocked to see the Regalia on Nero’s finger. Taking Nero’s Regalia, she declares herself ruler of all of SE.RA.PH. After Nero retreats with Mind, Archimedes appears to congratulate Tamamo on her victory. She calls him impatient for wanting to restore the Regalia immediately, not trusting his words that it’s for the tranquility of SE.RA.PH. Rather cautious of the situation, she tells Hakuno to not move. Suddenly, Elizabeth drops in from above, and steals the Regalia and puts it on. As the Regalia begins to overload, Tamamo orders Elizabeth to take it off. She is shocked it doesn’t shatter, calling it impossible that Elizabeth now wields the Regalia.
Elizabeth declares herself the ruler of SE.RA.PH; Tamamo sees herself mirrored in her. Everyone then watches in utter confusion as Elizabeth eats the Regalia. After Elizabeth is transformed from her act, Tamamo expresses her shock at what Elizabeth did. She and Hakuno then witness as Archimedes is obliterated by Elizabeth’s Báthory Erzsébet. She defends Hakuno from Elizabeth when Altera suddenly emerges from the Zero Dark. She and Hakuno then witness Elizabeth being destroyed by Altera’s Void Cells. Tamamo defends herself and Hakuno when Altera attacks them with her sword. Recognizing the strike as a regular attack and not a Noble Phantasm, Tamamo realizes Altera specializes in destruction. She isn’t surprised when another Hakuno appears next to Altera, deducing them to be the Body. She is able to recognize Altera from their prior encounter in her room and asks her who she is. Altera refuses to answer and prepares to attack again, so Tamamo uses the entirety of her Moon Crux to retreat with Hakuno.
The next day, Tamamo tells Hakuno that her territories have been destroyed, and Karna, Medusa, and Lu Bu are trying to hold off Altera’s forces. Despite being unsure of victory even with the Regalia, she chooses to fight. Elizabeth then arrives suddenly. Tamamo deduces her new appearance to be from the power of Velber, the alien threat from 14,000 years ago. She is able to recognize Velber’s power, though not the name itself, since she is an avatar of Amaterasu. Elizabeth explains how Velber nearly destroyed both Moon Cell and civilization on earth with Sefar fourteen millennia ago. Tamamo deduces from her words that the Regalia is a tool to defend the Moon Cell against Velber. She refuses to join Elizabeth and declares war on Altera, but not for the sake of SE.RA.PH. She explains her hatred for Altera, despite being an anti-hero, is because she despises inhumane monsters. She tries to attack Elizabeth, but the latter blocks it and leaves. Karna then reports that Gilgamesh destroyed the territory he was guarding.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Chapter 4: Memory, First and Forever -Mare Origo, Stormy Sea Palace-
Later in her room, Tamamo wonders why Body is with Altera and if Archimedes might’ve known something. After returning from defeating Gilgamesh, Tamamo learns Karna that Gilgamesh’s defeat saved a portion of Mare Luxuria from his bombardments. Heeding Karna’s advice, she uses the Regalia to see that her territories are still being attacked by another force, which Lu Bu is pursuing. Medusa suspects Altera leads it, but Tamamo tells her and Karna to relax. After they leave, she tells Hakuno that she’ll guarantee their safety from Altera’s army. She says their fight against their enemy will be a message that their brilliance will never fade. Later in her room, she tells Hakuno they’ll likely head into the Zero Dark to battle Velber’s forces. She continues their fight started because of her greed, not caring to protect either SE.RA.PH or Earth. Despite calling herself neither protector nor savior, she cannot abide Altera.
After Hakuno awakens from another dream of Altera talking to them, Tamamo becomes jealous of Altera when she demands the Regalia. Later into the night, she confesses to Hakuno that her and Altera’s natures are the same as they were both born to be enemies of humanity. She understands how Altera can forcibly dominate humans as they’re both monsters, and it’s easier for heartless creatures. Telling Hakuno to dismiss her words if they make them hesitate, she wishes them a good night and goes back to sleep.
The next day, Tamamo and Hakuno take a stroll outside for their date. Hakuno asks her how they’ll get into the Zero Dark. Tamamo answers she can create a portal to it. After creating the portal, she and Hakuno have a meal in preparation for their fight against Altera. She believes becoming a goddess would give her power on par with Velber, but that’d also remove her existence as a Servant as she doesn’t want to leave Hakuno. Afterwards, she and her forces invade Altera’s territory of Mare Origio through the portal she made.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Chapter 5: Extella of the Umbral Star II -Mare Carcer, the Titan's Dark Tomb-
Fighting her way through the enemy, she eventually confronts Altera in her palace. She questions why Altera is hesitating to kill her. She notes the contradiction between Altera’s destructive power and her doubt, which Altera herself understands. Tamamo refuses to give the Regalia to Altera, partially because of her own jealously. Refusing to listen to her anymore, she fights Altera. She defeats Altera and uses a digital decoy with Regalia’s remaining power to avoid Teardrop Photon Ray. She then uses Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu to ambush Altera from above with her strongest spell: Gyokutenhou. However, Elizabeth appears and transforms Altera into her original form of the White Titan, Sefar. Tamamo points out to Hakuno that their Body is standing on Sefar’s shoulder. Fearing it may be the end, she confesses to Hakuno she was playing the part of a tyrannical harlot out fear of loneliness. She reveals that since she is an avatar of Amaterasu she knew about the destruction Sefar caused 14,000 years ago. She knew Sefar would return beforehand, but was too paranoid of the end to say anything. Seeing that Hakuno accepts her no matter what, Tamamo fights Sefar to protect SE.RA.PH for their sake. Following Sefar and Bodyʻs deaths, she and Hakuno return to Mare Luxuria. She tells Hakuno to enjoy their peaceful days together until Velber inevitably arrives. They then go shopping together for tonight’s dinner.Fate/EXTELLA - Orchid Words Arc; Final Chapter: There Will Be a Tomorrow -???-
====Dawn====
Tamamo and her army invade Mare Origio to save Body. Deciding to speak with Altera, she is able to recognize Body when they emerge from Altera’s Regalia. She reveals Hakuno’s Mind and Body will eventually fade out of existence, and offers a surrender in exchange for Body coming with her. She reprimands Altera for allowing Body on the battlefield as even the smallest wound could mean their demise, not believing Altera didn’t know that fact. Altera ends negotiations, and her affection for Hakuno surprises Tamamo. She questions at first what kind of power Hakuno gives Altera, but decides to fight instead. Altera defeats her, but she manages to retreat.
Altera’s forces later invade Mare Luxuria. Tamamo is already prepared to face Altera when she enters her palace. Seeing negotiating won’t work again, she prepares to fight Altera again. She admits Hakuno would try to understand both her and Altera, even if they both enemies of humanity. She again offers to let Body join her, but they refuse to abandon Altera. She understands that to be Hakuno’s nature and then fights Altera without the intent to retreat. As she disappears with her defeat, Tamamo tries to say some final words to Soul, but she is finished off by Altera.
====Golden Poem====
Tamamo orders Lu Bu, Medusa, and Karna to invade Mare Aurum, but it’s ultimately suppressed by Nero’s forces. Later, she encounters Nero when the latter invades Mare Luxuria. She transforms into her Moon Crux form to fight Nero for the Regalia, but she’s eventually convinced by Mind to talk. Deactivating her Moon Crux form, she apologizes to Soul for letting her jealously towards Nero get the better of her. She and Nero then witness as their Regalias and Mind and Soul begin to fuse. She dismisses Nero’s concern for Body, believing them to impure and no longer the Hakuno they knew. She also reveals she also received Bodyʻs message from a previous parallel world, but stops talking of them so not to sully their name. Changing the subject, she tells Nero that unless Velber’s return is stopped, both the Earth and the Moon are doomed. Recalling the destruction brought about by Velber’s last visit, she declares both she and Hakuno want to prevent it from happening again. Following the fusion completing, Tamamo and Nero run to Hakuno and fight over them. Hakuno hits them both with a Code Cast to stop their arguing. Agreeing to settle the matter of Hakuno later, Tamamo and Nero witness Altera emerge from the Zero Dark.
They protect Hakuno despite their fear of Altera’s power. After blocking attack from Altera’s sword to her surprise, they fight her together. They struggle against her though; Tamamo warns Nero to be caution even with the Regalia. The fight is stopped when Hakuno emerges from the Regalia to negotiate with Altera. As Hakuno talks with Altera, Tamamo asks Nero about her current mana supply as she’s running low, to which Nero answers she’s the same. Tamamo tells her Altera’s sword isn’t magical nor divine, but she doesn’t explain any further. She lets Hakuno continue talking with Altera, believing their lives hinder on Hakuno’s words and how Altera perceives them. After Altera leaves, Tamamo states negotiations are at a standstill, but is glad to have been spared. She tells Hakuno not to be disheartened by Altera’s refusal to be saved from her fate, which they agree with.
Tamamo accompanies Hakuno and Nero back to Mare Aurum so she wouldn’t be alone. Nero explains Hakuno lives in Mare Aurum, and she wanted Tamamo to move her base to hers. Deciding to settle the matter of Hakuno’s living quarters later, Tamamo states the roman territories are the perfect point to plan their attack on Velber, as they're both easy to defend and difficult to attack. Her generals already gathered, she joins in a strategy meeting with Nero and her generals. During the meeting, she warns the Regalia lost its ability to produce attack programs for an unknown reason when she hands it to Nero. After Nero declares she’ll defend SE.RA.PH, Tamamo suggests to her generals they stay behind to defend Mare Aurum. They agree, and Nero thanks her. Tamamo tells Hakuno to leave home defense to her. After the meeting, she catches Nero kissing Hakuno, which results in her and Nero arguing over Hakuno.
The next day, Tamamo tells Hakuno and Nero that Sefar destroyed all who fought it, thus she’s surprised by the two’s plan to save Altera. Stating to leave to home defense to her, she asks Nero to protect Hakuno before they depart for their next battle.Fate/EXTELLA - Golden Poem Arc; Chapter 5: To the One I Adore -Mare Carcer, the Titan's Dark Womb- After Nero destroyed the Ark of the Stars, a fragment of Velber in the Zero Dark, Tamamo detects from Nero’s throne that Velber’s forces in the Zero Dark are gone. Nameless says it’s a result of the Ark’s destruction, confirming it means their victory. Tamamo is shocked that Nero could destroy the Ark, as not even the gods could do it. While still jealous of her, she nonetheless believes Nero earned her victory.
Later, she competes with Nero for Hakuno’s affections, with each presenting a feast of their own to them. As they argue for Hakuno to eat their individual cooking, Altera interrupts them when she inquires about the food. Tamamo and Nero decide to end their competition with a draw, and enjoy the feast with Hakuno and Altera.
===Fate/EXTELLA LINK ===
She returns as one of Hakuno's servants to fight against the new threat to SE.RA.PH.
===Fate/EXTRA Last Encore===
According to the script, she is the servant inhabiting the 4th floor (which was skipped in the anime, but the way Nero referencing it is supposed to be a hint of her talking of her rival). It is unknown if she is there alone or there is a Master with her.
===Fate/Grand Order===
====Fourth Singularity: London====
Tamamo materializes from the Demonic Fog, having accompanied Sakata Kintoki's summon. She is annoyed London is abandoned and surrounded by fog when she realizes its facing destruction. She only came so she could rehearse her honeymoon with her Master. She supports Kintoki in his fight against Nikola Tesla, but her spells aren't very effective on the activated fog. The fight leaves the pair exhausted, so they leave the rest to the recently surfaced Ritsuka, Mash, and Mordred after Kintoki used Golden Spark to disperse the fog. Tamamo commends Kintoki as truly being one of Minamoto-no-Raikou's kings. She is annoyed though that they have to leave the rest to the group.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 13: Beyond the Fog 
She and Kintoki later join the others in the chamber of the fog’s source, Angrboda. She is perturbed by Hans Christian Andersen for wanting Mordred to slay her. Suddenly a mysterious figure emerges from a Rayshift-like distortion. He expresses disappointment in Gilles de Rais, Romulus, Jason, and Tesla for their failures. Tamamo wishes to flee, feeling as if merely looking will taint her. The figure then reveals he is the mastermind behind the Incineration of Humanity, Solomon. He reveals the ring of light seen in the skies of the Singularities is his third Noble Phantasm, Ars Almadel Salomonis. Out of his interest in Mash, he summons only four of the Demon Gods and attacks the group. The group kills one of the Demon Gods, however, Solomon kills William Shakespeare, Kintoki, and Tamamo.
==== Event: Saber Wars ====
Tamamo, Nero, and EMIYA interrupt Artoria Lily's training when they come to investigate the crash site of Mysterious Heroine X‘s ship. However, they end fighting Ritsuka and the others when X suddenly attacks Nero. After the fight, Tamamo is pleased to see Ritsuka and Mash. She explains she accompanied Nero because she heard there was an appliance that could cook and do laundry. But X's ship has no such machine. X eventually allows Nero to stay when EMIYA offers to be Artoria’s training partner. In response to Nero's comment that she played a minor role in London, Tamamo claims she didn't want to steal the spotlight from Mordred. She hopes there will be a Japanese stage, and thus will remain behind the scenes until then. She then goes into X's ship since it seemed to have air conditioning.
Later, as Nero gives her "Only Heroic Spirits of the now can alter the past and future" speech, Tamamo points out that Charles Babbage, Nikola Tesla, and Sakata Kintoki have come. She comments that Kintoki's attitude is why Shuten-douji drinks, though it's more for entertainment. Kintoki notices Tamamo and asks her not to call Shuten. Tamamo replies she wouldn't call Shuten even if Kintoki asked her to. She prefers Kintoki and Shuten's relationship to remain private.
When X reveals she traveled from the future to save it. Tamamo wonders if Nero holding a world tour in the future is the cause. Nero is insulted, believing her concert would save the future. But X reveals it destroyed Space Rome, adding that it even caused Altera to flee. X then reveals that the future is in economic crisis due to the oversaturation of Sabers. Thus she came to the past to destroy the Saber class before that can happen. Nonetheless, she will spare Artoria Lily since they’re alike, unlike Nero. She is then shot by Ultra Heroine Z while protecting Nero. Z is a paradoxical version of X and fights the group. With the others supporting her, Artoria Lily defeats Z. 
==== Event: Onigashima ====
Unable to wait any longer for her to be in a Japanese-themed event, Tamamo goes to Onigashima and forces herself into the event.  But she couldn't do it sober out of self-respect. So she got herself drunk on wine at Shuten and Ibaraki-douji's teahouse. She then decided to guard the second gate with the great oni Wazahamimaru.Fate/Grand Order - Onigashima: The Great Tale of Demons, Act 8: The Second Great Oni Appears
When Ritsuka's party comes to the second gate, Tamamo complains about not having a major role, even though they're on Onigashima from the tale of Momotarou. So on the subject of Momotarou, she asks why she isn't the dog companion. Then, explaining why she came, Tamamo fights the group for the dog role.
After she and Wazahamimaru are defeated, Tamamo confesses she only wanted a chance to play a role in the story. But she also wanted a new  Noble Phantasm, a new Skill, a new Craft Essence, and a new costume. She then hears a revelation telling her there will be more Japanese-themed events for her to participate in. Though she is doubtful, Tamamo says she'll wait and disappears.Fate/Grand Order - Onigashima: The Great Tale of Demons, Act 9: Wazahamimaru Repelled
====Summer Event: Chaldea Summer Memories====
Tamamo and several other of Ritsuka’s Servants are accidentally rayshifted to a remote island where they’re unable to contact Chaldea. She has no recollection of the island.
As the group waits for Blackbeard's observation report of the island, Tamamo wants something to keep herself preoccupied. Karna tells her that all her dreams are about to come true, directing her to look at the shore. Tamamo is disappointed when it turns to be more giants crabs. After the crabs are killed, the group learns from a near-dead Blackbeard that their location is still unknown, and it’s nearly impossible to leave by ship. Agreeing with Artoria Pendragon‘s suggestion to leave the island to contact Chaldea, they decide to build a ship capable of leaving the island. Scáthach alters their Spirit Origins to give them swimsuits to accommodate their current environment. The group goes to gather materials for Scáthach to build their escape ship and other facilities.
Later, the group discusses what their first task of island life should be when a storm suddenly rolls in. They enter a small cave spotted by Mordred to escape the rain, but they run out due to a massive swarm of bugs. Outside the cave, the group decides they need to build a cabin to take shelter in. Tamamo and Kiyohime both agree on a wood cabin. Artoria accidentally insults them, though, by comparing a wooden dwelling to stables. 
After that is built, followed by a water supply system, Ritsuka, Mash, Tamamo, and Marie Antoinette go fishing with Cú Chulainn. While finding it relaxing at first, Tamamo soon gets frustrated that she hasn't gotten a single bite. She considers trying her hand at spearfishing but realizes that isn't something a sophisticated woman would do. Soon, though, she and the others help Marie reel in what turns out to be a monster, which they promptly slay.
Tired of barbecue, the group decides to build a proper cooking facility. Tamamo recommends a hearth, calling it the perfect embodiment of practicality and versatility. She also says it's perfect for cooking rice. She finds Artoria useless for her indecisiveness, saying only Ritsuka's opinion matters at this point. If the hearth is built, she and Tamamo serve Ritsuka rice balls. They stare at them intensely until Ritsuka gives a positive reaction to their cooking.
Next, the group decides to build a bathing facility. Tamamo suggests an open-air bath. When Martha worries inappropriate situations may ensue if men and women bathe together, Tamamo assures nothing of the sort regardless of what is chosen.
If the open-air bath is chosen, Tamamo enjoys it with Ritsuka. She claims them bathing together is to assess if they can make proper use of the bath. For that reason, she brought along a few things. One such item is a flask, which Ritsuka downs after being assures it's only water. Tamamo believes their moon-viewing party would be lively if Shuten was around, though she can see it quickly getting out of hand. She then says she'll answer any question Ritsuka asks her, including about what she's doing with her tail. She even offers to let Ritsuka go around and touch it.
Next, after cultivating a vegetable field, the group decides to make a grain field. Tamamo calls rice supreme to Japanese Heroic Spirits, and it is love itself. She then says, "The boughs that bear most hang lowest!" a proverb that says even the greatest people should be humble. Tamamo used it because it sounded good.
If the rice field is cultivated, Tamamo says the color of the rice matches her tail. So she hopes Ritsuka will want to stroke her tail whenever they're eating rice balls. She is glad to see that Sasaki Kojirou is eager to help, saying harvest season is always a pain. She then nearly wishes Tawara Touta was here until she remembers his Noble Phantasm creates infinite rice. It may be convenient, but Tamamo feels it takes the fun out of harvesting. So she's glad to hear Ritsuka say rice tastes best when harvested by hand. When Sasaki starts to recall Touta's Noble Phantasm, Tamamo tells him it's pointless to complain about something they don't have. She then compares rice to a child, which prompts Kiyohime to appear. She thinks Ritsuka had a child with another woman. Tamamo tells her that isn't the case and asks her to stop spewing flames.
Afterward, the group decides to raise some livestock. Tamamo suggests sheep since they use their wool to make clothes and their meat for provisions.
If sheep are chosen, Tamamo says she can use their wool to make a futon. She gets embarrassed by the implications, though. Martha then arrives and remarks sheep need a shepherd. Tamamo forgot there was such an occupation, though she sees herself as sheepdog if anything. As for a shepherd, she believes David would be ideal if he was here. But she believes that'd be too boring and asks if there are other shepherds with them. Artoria then shocks her and Martha by saying she heard Romulus was a shepherd. Tamamo imagines it and finds she wouldn't entrust Romulus with sheep.
The next night, Tamamo joins the others in chasing the boar piglet accused of eating their crops. The group eventually finds the piglet with two others defending the crops from a demon boar. Realizing it is the true culprit, the group kills the demon boar. Afterward, Scáthach contracts the piglets to protect the crops. Tamamo agrees only because of Ritsuka and warns the piglets she may hunt them if she's hungry or if they ever walk by her.
The next day, the group builds a pathway. If the wooden path is built, Tamamo finds it so rustic as if there's a farm ahead. If she's not careful, her feral nature will trigger, and she'll start running. Mash asks her if she'll start running around cheerfully like Tamamo Cat. Tamamo answers yes, but she's holding it in out of embarrassment and declares her swimsuit version is entirely different from Cat. However, unable to hold back any longer, she decides to start running to vent her wild side. If she comes across a rabbit or otherwise, shell bring back to Ritsuka.
After building a more efficient water system, the group constructs a bridge for Ritsuka, as Tamamo suggested.
Later, Tamamo takes Ritsuka and Mash out on a picnic. All the food was prepared by her personally. While Scáthach knows what is edible or not, Tamamo is confident in her ability to turn those ingredients into a delicious dish. On that note, she asks Ritsuka and Mash to try her acorn cookies and acorn bread. Ritsuka asks if it's possible to eat acorns. Tamamo answers it's not normally due to acorns' high toxicity inducing a bitter, astringent sensation. She then shows mochi tochi made from horse chestnut and tea made from medicinal herbs she gathered herself. Ritsuka gets curious as to why she's cooking from than before.  Tamamo admits she was originally going to have a relaxed style before realizing Ritsuka would potentially ignore or even forget her if they didn't have any physical contact. So she rerouted all her magical energy to strengthen her body and became an elegant socialite.
After the picnic, Tamamo brings Ritsuka and Mash to a demon boar and a poisonous swamp. She caught its scent and found it before the piglets did. After the demon boar is slain, Tamamo is relieved she can return to being an elegant socialite while suppressing her wild side. She declares the one who ailed to notice her will realize they always loved her by summer's end. She then goes to fetch Scáthach and Martha to cleanse the swamp.
Later, the group decides to make a garden. Tamamo is surprised by Kiyohime's choice of a normal, unremarkable garden, expecting her to arrange the stones to spell "MASTER LOVE" or have a totem that consists only of Ritsuka's face.
Sometime after the play area is built, Ritsuka, Mash, Tamamo, Martha, and Kiyohime notice C and Karna sneaking off somewhere again. They follow the men and eventually come across Sasaki wearing a mask, calling himself Island Mask. After they defeat him, he brings him to a secret village built by the men. Kiyohime and Tamamo are somewhat jealous that the men’s buildings are better constructed than theirs.
Later, Tamamo suggests they build a lookout tower, which she imagines as a romantic building. She recommends a five-story pagoda, praising it as the epitome of Japanese high society. 
If the pagoda is built, Ritsuka asks what the halo-looking decorations on the top are. Tamamo explains they're called Kurin, and they represent the Five Wisdom Buddhas and the Four Bodhisattvas. That includes Vairocana, which Tamamo claims to mean Amaterasu. She then further claims that because Ritsuka noticed the Kurin first, it means they're concerned about her above all things. She then calls the pagoda a dedication of faith to her, albeit a roundabout one. Liking even more if she thinks of it that way, Tamamo asks Ritsuka to take care of it as if it was her.
Next, the group decides to upgrade its residence. Tamamo suggests a samurai residence. However, she also agrees with Marie's suggestion of a castle.
If the castle is built, Tamamo declares herself suited to castle life. She wouldn't even consider it strange for there to be portraits of her. When Marie recounts Versailles' size made her feel like she was always encountering strangers, Tamamo agrees that a castle becomes less "homey" when they require more people to maintain it. Then, when Artoria declares Ritsuka the castle's king, Tamamo declares herself to be their ideal wife shrine fox maiden, who'll cast deadly curses on their enemies when needed.
Afterward, the group prepares to construct a statue as they reach final preparations for their escape ship. A giant demon boar suddenly arrives, but the group forces it to retreat. Afterward, they construct the statue. 
If the statue is of Tamamo, she says she cannot fully express her feelings. She thanks Ritsuka and calls herself truly fortunate. With nothing holding her back, all of her energy and attention are laser-focused. She then tells Ritsuka to feel the loving blessing of her statue.
The next day, the ship has finished construction.  The group then fights the giant demon boar to protect the piglets when it returns, despite its wounds. However, its stamina proves to be tremendous and charges at the ship to destroy it. The group is able to make it to the ship, thanks to the piglets protecting it. After defeating the giant demon boar, the group and the men board the ship and set sail.
====Summer Event: Chaldea Heat Odyssey====
The group eventually makes landfall on a desolate wasteland. They hear a cry for help, which to their surprise, is coming from a boar piglet. They defeat the Shadow Servant chasing the piglet, showing itself to be a demon boar in disguise. The piglet calls the group goddesses and asks them to save this world.
The piglet leads the group to city ruins, where they meet the boar piglet chief. Hearing of their circumstance, the chief thanks the group for saving his grandchild. He tells them the buildings were from advanced civilization built by the piglets. Unfortunately, it ended when the demon boars and Shadow Servants arrived fifty years ago. The chief recounts a legend in his clan about nine goddesses called the Nine Sisters who gave the piglets civilization. As they were said to take human forms, the chief’s grandson assumed the group were the goddesses. In exchange for the piglets’ help, the group agrees to redevelop the island. When the chief's description of a tenth goddess who eats boar piglets matches her, Tamamo insists that it's a coincidence. Artoria tries to comfort her by saying her being summoned as a Servant is proof she changed her ways. She then calls Tamamo her comrade regardless of how many piglets she may have eaten. Tamamo insists it wasn't her.
As the group rebuilds the piglets' civilization, Tamamo helps construct a building. The piglets suggest either a skyscraper, a Japanese-style building, or a neon-sign building. If the skyscraper is built, Tamamo asks the piglets how they can even build, which they refuse to answer.
Tamamo later joins Scáthach’s search party to the coast, along with Ritsuka, Mash, Marie, and Mordred. Along the way, she asks if she's only imagining the piglets' fear of her. Scáthach assumes it's because she is the devil who eats piglets. Tamamo insists she only ever thought about eating one, blaming it on her animal instincts. The group then encounters and destroys automatons followed by a giant demon boar that transformed into Heracles. After it's slain and Scáthach reveals it was guarding an ash tree, the group move on to the coast.
There they see the broken remains of the statue they built, making them realize they’re on the same island from before. Scáthach explains they sailed on a straight course away from the island only to return after 2,000 years passed on the island. She further explains time doesn’t progress normally on the island; an hour on the island equaling a tiny fraction of time passing everywhere else. The island has been cut off from the rest of the world for 2,000 years, which means no heroes of mage existed here. It was only a world where the piglets lived in peace until the group arrived and established civilization to be later worshiped as the Nine Sisters.
Returning to the others, Scáthach tells them of what her search party learned. She then reveals the ash tree the giant demon boar was guarding is the same one she planted 2,000 years. After the tree absorbed all the poison in its soil, the island became a perfect habitat for the piglets. Scáthach points out sailing away from the island will cause another thousand years will pass on the island and the piglets may be extinct when they return. She then states they need to discover why the island’s space-time is distorted as they continue to redevelop the island and make contact with Chaldea. The group later learn Beowulf is on the island as an enemy.
Sometime after constructing an amusement center, Tamamo is invited to the piglets' concert by Marie. She declines, but Marie rejects her refusal. She confirms to Tamamo that she will stuff the invitation into her hands after knocking her out with her beach ball. This prompts a fight with Tamamo, which she loses, and Marie forces the invitation on her. At the concert, Tamamo suspects the piglets' songs will not be fit for the ears of humans and Servants. Her suspicion is proven to be correct when the piglets perform songs of a dark nature.
Later, Thomas Edison, who gave the boar piglets electricity 100 years ago, is woken from cryosleep by Ritsuka, Mash, Scáthach, Artoria, and Mordred. The group learns he needs the Holy Grail to build an escape device to contact Chaldea.
Completing more construction projects, the group goes to the demon boars’ lair as they likely have the Grail. As they near their destination, they notice many demon boars guarding the cave. Since the demon boars outnumber them, the group goes with Mordred’s plan to break through the enemy line and hold them off so Ritsuka, Mash, Scáthach, and Edison can enter the cave.
After the escape device is built, the group leaves the island. As they do, they're contacted by Romani Archaman. They learn they were only gone for an hour before rayshifting back to Chaldea.

====Subspecies Singularity: SE.RA.PH====
Tamamo and Nero visit Ritsuka’s room, both excited that spring break is here. Tamamo is surprised Nero doesn’t have a swimsuit, wondering if she lacks confidence in her figure. Nero dismisses her words, claiming she gave up her place for Mordred‘s sake last time. she boasts of her swimsuit figure and decides to bide her time on the same deserted island Ritsuka was on for a month in 2016 until summer. Tamamo warns her it wasn’t nearly as fun as she might think. EMIYA then enters the room and reprimands Nero and Tamamo while offering to continue Ritsuka's magecraft training. Nero and Tamao agree his crafty nature is why he’s still Ritsuka’s tutor. Everyone then hears Mash over the intercom announcing Chaldea will receive their regular report from Seraphix. Nero asks what Seraphix is, so Tamamo and EMIYA explain what it is. Tamamo gets an ominous feeling from the name Seraphix, but she nonetheless agrees to accompany Ritsuka there. Everyone then goes to the command room.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - SE.RA.PH. - Deep-Sea Cyber-Nirvana, Prologue
Chaldea attempts to contact the facility, but they receive no audio or visual, despite both feeds being active. They receive an SOS message (sent by a staff member with BB’s help), saying everyone is being digitized. When the connection is abruptly cut, Leonardo da Vinci authorizes the use of SHEBA to observe that Seraphix no longer exists. Chaldea soon receives a video message from BB, who instructs them to check the Mariana Trench in 2030 A.D. The staff confirms Seraphix is 200m below the surface, along with the existence of a Singularity. BB tells Chaldea to save Seraphix's staff before the facility sinks 10,000m while dealing with the Singularity manifesting there. While rayshifting to the future is normally impossible, Da Vinci realizes BB can verify the existence of Ritsuka's party since 2030 is her present. BB warns Seraphix will reach the bottom of the trench in a few hours, at which point the water pressure will destroy it. Ritsuka, Nero Claudius, Tamamo, and EMIYA then rayshift to Seraphix. However, BB supposedly hacks the rayshift to separate the group to random locations in the facility (in truth, it was Kiara who was responsible for the separation).
Tamamo, Nero, and EMIYA are captured by BB/GO and made into her Sentinels. They're eventually freed from her influence by Ritsuka.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - SE.RA.PH. - Deep-Sea Cyber-Nirvana, Bottom Black Encore! Everyone then goes to the central area after a series of adventures which EMIYA claims couldn't be shown due to "time constraints". Confronting BB/GO, Nero expresses her frustration at her for not getting a part in the Kiara incident. Tamamo feels as if she played a bigger role in that than she actually did. She expects EMIYA feels the same way because EMIYA Alter played a role.

On the 60th floor of the Oni Pagoda, Tamamo, Kiyohime, and Osakabehime are having a party arranged by Shuten. Osakabehime freaks out when Ritsuka arrives as she thought the party was supposed to be an online friend-only IRL meetup and accuses Tamamo of tricking her. Tamamo tells Osakabehime she wouldn’t have left her room if she didn’t. Ritsuka tries to speak to Osakabehime, only for her to scream and hide. Kiyohime and Tamamo then get a text from her, asking them to buy her time while she makes herself more presentable. Tamamo reminds her not to text them when they’re next to her. She also tells her it’s pointless to hide from Ritsuka since they already know what they’re like. She then describes the party as a singles mixer and a girls’ night out combined, thus everyone is welcome. Tomoe Gozen tells them she has no time for chitchat. In response, Tamamo describes their discussions as a battle and an exchange of collaborative information, calling it the Deadly Spider Lily Romance Talk Murder Party. She strongly insists Ritsuka and Tomoe stay. She then realizes Kiyohime has been drunk the whole time, which explains why the latter is already doing her yandere talk. Tomoe says talk of romance gives her enough reason not to take part. Tamamo finds it unhealthy and morbid for her, a widow, to spend her time playing violent video games. Tomoe tries to correct her misconception by saying that besting her opponents always makes her smile. She then declines Osakabehime's offer for them to stay and game together, as they need to proceed to the next floor. But Tamamo says she and the others are obligated to Shuten since she organized the party to not let anyone pass without a fight. Ritsuka's party then proceeds to defeat the girls. Tamamo declares girls' night out as officially over. Osakabehime sends her a text expressing how much fun she had, which annoys Tamamo as she's right next to her. She then asks Osakabehime to send Kiyohime down on one of her origami cranes, which Osakabehime agrees to.

====Interlude====
===== E-Pal Wars =====
Tamamo drags off Ritsuka and Mash to a beach so she can send selfies of them being "lovey-dovey" to Kiyohime and Osakabehime. While she insists she remains committed to Hakuno (despite not remembering Hakuno's name or even the circumstances in which they met), she wants to take the time to show her friends how well she gets along with her Master. The beach turns out to be a Lamia spawning ground, and she and Ritsuka fend off the attack.
Unfazed by the battle, Tamamo brings Ritsuka and Mash to a mountain inn to relax. Tamamo receives another text from Kiyohime about a shopping trip with her Master, provoking Tamamo to go on a tangent about Kiyohime's tendency to see love where it doesn't exist. They are again interrupted, this time by wyverns, and Tamamo uses the opportunity to vent her frustrations in battle.
The next day, Ritsuka and Mash are asked by Tamamo to help her calm down Kiyohime, who is on a rampage following a breakup.

==Abilities==
Tamamo-no-Mae is a soul that was created from the essence of the sun goddess Amaterasu, and as such, she is not a mere Earth spirit, but an actual unique facet of the goddess from which she came. Her true form is that of a Divine-class Spirit, and as such, it'd be a monumental mistake to classify her as one of the many human-spawned Heroic Spirits. However, she willingly embraced the role of a Servant so that she could, in her own words; "become a good wife." By deliberately accepting the limits inherent in that role, many of her original powers have been sealed away, putting her on the same level as other human Heroic Spirits. Tamamo is also an Anti-Hero, as she is considered one of Japan's Three Great Monsters. It is said that a hero by the True Name of Abe-no-Seimei defeated the white-faced nine-tailed fox in the past, although further detail is not given.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant Shimosa: Section 14 Ultima Cantica: The Stage of Carnage, Onriedo (Middle) Since the number of Heroic Spirits related to foxes is quite limited, Suzuka Gozen was able to successfully hypothesize Tamamo's True Name. Tamamo states that having her true identity exposed to the enemy doesn't pose much risk for her.
===Nine Tails===
Supposing that we represent an A rank Servant with a numerical power level of 100 (not including Noble Phantasms), Tamamo with 1 tail would have 9% of its power. However, when the number of her tails increases and her spirit rank goes up to the highest level, it becomes impossible for humans to comprehend her full power. This is only natural, as the foundation of her being came from an offering to the sun. Thus, the scale of her existence is equivalent to it. For each tail that Tamamo grows back, her power is multiplied by 9, giving her nine-tailed form a power of 387,420,489, just like Amaterasu. Whereas she could never hope to defeat an A rank Servant with just one tail, as the number of tails increases, it becomes ridiculous to even compare the two. In fact, if Tamamo got serious, she'd become an Evil Spirit capable of easily beating 100 or more Heroic Spirits.Fate/EXTRA CCC - Tamamo-no-Mae's Secret Garden 3 Where she to transform into such a hideous monster, she would become a great demon strong enough to destroy 3,000 worlds. An avatar of the apocalypse itself and a threat great enough to rival the King of Magecraft and his Human Incineration Order. 
The White Titan Sefar possesses a power level of 300,000,000 in her seventh stage, which is comparable to that of the legendary Golden White Face’s nine-tailed form. Altera has a bonus modifier against the world, so gods who embody the aspects of nature are at a disadvantage against her. Most god's Divinity comes from Earth, but the Sun belongs to the universe. In terms of raw force, Tamamo states that She could be on par with Velber. However, Tamamo later stated twice that she was among the gods that were vanquished by Sefar. When Sefar was finally released in the Moon Cell, she stated that there is no way to stop Sefar, and that she had known she wouldn't be able to save Hakuno Kishinami all along. As the embodiment of the Sun, Tamamo knows everything that happened 14,000 years ago. Thus, she admitted having lost to the White Titan before, and that she knew in her very bones that they would be no match for the Umbral Star. Out of all the gods that fought Sefar, none were able to bypass her Magical Energy Absorption skill, which converts the Magical Energy of her opponent's attacks into fuel and energy for Sefar's use. Only the Holy Sword and Zeus after combining with the other Olympians were powerful enough to defeat Sefar.

As a Servant, Tamamo-no-mae is usually summoned with just 1 tail. In Chaldea, even after reaching the limits of Ascension in Grand Order, she will only return to a three-tails form. During the CCC Incident, in order to save Hakuno Kishinami from being deleted by the Moon Cell, Tamamo was forced to grow back all her nine tails. By going through 1000 years of "sage training to level up", Tamamo was able to regain her past strength, conquering the Moon Cell in the process. In order to reach the Moon Cell Core, one must first break through the Time Barrier, a 404 light-years space located between the 7 arenas and the core. BB had been able to achieve this by expanding the Sakura Labyrinth and moving through the Imaginary Number Space at the speed of light to break through this perfectly spherical spiritron defense wall that cuts through 8 dimensions. However, Tamamo was able to crush it effortlessly in an instant thanks to her "Thousand Light Years Dash," by ignoring the time axis, laws of cause and effect, consistency, and so on. After reaching the core, she simply kicked it, immediately shutting it down. The official name of the spinning kick she performed is called "FLARE SKIRT BUNKER BUSTER", an attack capable of causing extremely high preassure on underground constructs. Once she had saved her Master, Tamamo traveled with Hakuno to a remote countryside on the edge of SE.RA.PH that even commercial mails traveling at the speed of light can't reach. After doing so, she cut off her tails, which surprisingly do not only have tremendous power but can also act as independent Heroic Spirits. Hakuno calls them the “Tamamo Nine”. For all these reasons, Tamamo is essentially a "cheat character." The other characters to have ever been referred as such are Arcueid, BB, and Gilgamesh.
===Combat===
Despite being such a great Divine-class Spirit, at the start of the Moon Holy Grail War, Tamamo is the weakest Servant in the entire game. With her paper-thin Endurance and inability to use her Noble Phantasms it’s an easy game-over if you let your Guard down. Throughout a large part of the War, Tamamo could not access her full power. Due to Hakuno Kishinami's deficiencies as a "pseudo-Magus", Tamamo was unable to manifest her full glory. Although all of her parameters are an extremely low E rank at the beginning, with Aoko's and Touko Aozaki's help they gain a medium growth rate. By performing an Alteration of the Soul, Aoko was able to link Hakuno's and Tamamo's Souls. Through Hakuno, they are able to modify Tamamo's Magic Circuits, so that as long as Hakuno increased her rank as a Master, they would be able to strengthen their link by hacking into each soul and choosing what to improve. Sculpting their spiritual bodies maximizes the flow of Magical Energy from Master to Servant. However, due to being a Caster, even at full power, Tamamo-no-Mae lacks brute Strength, and her physical attacks are not worthy of praise. This is especially true in her Endurance, which is still ranked E. During the CCC Incident, Tamamo's rival is Passionlip. Under normal circumstances Tamamo is on the verge of death after taking a normal punch attack, so Passionlip’s huge one-shot lip attack means that she is an instant death monster as far as Tamamo is concerned. The reason Lu Bu is known as "Tamamo Killer" is that he can kill Tamamo in one hit even if she Guards.
Being a Caster, Tamamo's true strength are her Curses. Due to being a specialist in cursing techniques, Tamamo was able to repel a fragment of Kingprotea's Infantile Regression. Some of these curses can be used to keep other Servants under control by electrifying them with a lightning bolt. Elizabeth Báthory says she is able to endure them thanks to being a Demi-Dragon, and that she'd definitely be super-dead otherwise. Elizabeth was able to train herself to be completely lightning-proof, to the point where Tamamo would need to hit her with a million volts to actually injure her. This lightning curse returns in Fate/EXTELLA LINK as one of her active skills in battle, called ​; and in the collaboration event between Fate/EXTRA CCC and Fate/Grand Order, Tamamo Cat utilized the skill ​ to lock Suzuka Gozen in place. Meltryllis recognized that it's Caster Tamamo's "final secret technique" and was surprised that Cat could also use it.
Tamamo's attack patterns are basically two: 1. Blows using her mirror, and 2. Long range attacks using Curses. Since Tamamo isn't that resilient to damage, her blows with her mirror are mainly meant to keep her enemy in check. She needs to take some distance in order to make the best use of her Curses. During Tamamo's first fight with Suzuka Gozen, Tamamo was weakened due to having low Magical Energy and Hakuno Kishinami having lost all his Experience Points. Since Tamamo is a Caster and has E rank Endurance, fighting a Saber such as Suzuka means that things will only get worse for her the closer her opponent gets. Although Tamamo's mirror can be used for both offense and defense, it isn't enough to shake off Suzuka's three sword style. When Suzuka finally uses the Heavenly Demon Rain, Hakuno states that there's no way for Tamamo to dodge all of the projectiles and that all she can do is grit her teeth and bear the attack. However, considering her low Endurance, she would die even if she used Guard. Tamamo was able to block it by combining the two Curses; Mantra Aphotic Cave, which lowers damage and absorbs MP from the enemy's skill, and Mantra Bestial Sky, which greatly increases magic ability for one turn. Although Kazuhito Sakagami tried to finish Tamamo off by boosting Suzuka's Agility with a Codecast, Hakuno reacted in time and used Heal on Tamamo. With all of Tamamo's wounds healed and the Aphotic Cave still activated, Kazuhito orders Suzuka to withdraw.
Although Tamamo's first battle with Suzuka Gozen proved that Tamamo can fight at close range with her to a certain degree, during their rematch, Suzuka is able to read Tamamo's moves thanks to her Blessing of Wisdom Noble Phantasm, which grants her the wisdom of a Bodhisattva. Suzuka is able to counter Tamamo's Curse: Fiery Heaven with Water Kneading, an attack performed with Daitsuuren. However, since she is a Saber, Tamamo states that such makeshift Caster-like attacks can't match a true caster like herself. Although Tamamo tries to attack Suzuka again, Suzuka simply evades midair by using her floating swords as footholds, and breaks through Tamamo's Guard with Guard Break. She's able to accurately attack every opening in Tamamo's defense, overwhelming her pretty rapidly. Although Suzuka is better at anticipating her enemy's moves, Tamamo is better at controlling the battlefield. Tamamo uses the recoil of Curse: Chaos Heaven to jump into the air and evade what would have been a fatal blow otherwise. Then, she uses her mirror as a foothold like Suzuka had done previously, and propels herself back at Suzuka, breaking through her Guard. Tamamo states that had she been alone, she would have used Fiery Heaven and it would have been blocked and halved by Suzuka's guard. It was only thanks to Hakuno Kishinami that she was able to arrive to this solution. Before Tamamo can finish Suzuka off, Karna intervenes and sends Tamamo flying back with just a light touch of his hand, despite being extremely weakened under Jinako Carigiri.
During Tamamo's fight with Violet, Violet is not receiving Magical Energy from her Master, however, she is still able to dodge Tamamo's Fiery Heaven and Chaos Heaven without much difficulty. Although Violet is able to freeze Tamamo's movements with her Crack Ice, giving her an opening to attack Tamamo, Tamamo didn't take fatal damage from her consecutive strikes, and could keep fighting thanks to Hakuno Kishinami using a healing Codecast. Thanks to Tamamo's and Hakuno's coordination, Tamamo is able to block Violet's whips with Chaos Heaven. After Tamamo uses her mirror to pin them down, Tamamo kicks Violet and sends her flying several meters away. It is here revealed that Tamamo can use proficient close quarters skills thanks to the muscle training she had gone through in the first six rounds of the previous Moon Holy Grail War, following the path to the "Master castration fist required for smashing the harem route." The reason she had been keeping them hidden is that she wanted to maintain Hakuno's image of her as a frail lady. Violet says that having grasped Tamamo's reaction speed, she can now raise her speed so that Tamamo can't counter her attacks. Shinji Matou however warns Violet that fighting Tamamo in close quarters is a bad idea, and that she should still keep using the hit-and-run strategy. Tamamo can escape from the time paralysis by hiding out of Violet's view, but her attacks can easily be dodged in that position. Although Violet has superior Parameters, Tamamo has greater battle experience. Since Violet's attacks are too simple, Tamamo is able to predict where she opens her worm-holes, taking advantage of them to attack her. When Violet uses Crack Ice once again, Tamamo reflects it back with her mirror, freezing Violet in place. She then fires Curse:Frigid Heaven, Fiery Heaven, and Chaos Heaven, seemingly overpowering Violet. Before Tamamo can finish her off, however, Violet partially transforms into the Gorgon, gaining the upper hand. Tamamo then counters with her secret move, Land of Eternal Bane, which causes magic damage and a poison effect. For its activation, Tamamo's HP must be below 30%. This grants Tamamo the victory, as she claims that "the one who shows their trump card first loses." That little bit of wisdom decided this battle.
===Skills===
====Class Skills====
*Territory Creation (C Rank): This skill allows one to create a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Unfortunately for Tamamo-no-Mae, her personality is ill-suited for the task of manipulating reality and she has great difficulty even creating a small-scale crafting studio for creating minor amulets and other types of low-level talismans.
*Divinity (A Rank): Because she is a Divided Spirit of the Divine Spirit Amaterasu, Tamamo-no-Mae boasts top rank Divinity. After seals after seals, the rank became this.
====Personal Skills====
*Curse Arts (EX Rank): Caster uses is all physical phenomena performed with her own body. While common Magecraft is a program that "recomposes what exists around", Curse Arts is a program that "recomposes the raw materials in one's own body." It is related to , and includes methods to discern one's time of death, secret arts to obtain influence, methods to attain status and fortune (for men) and methods to gain the favor of influential individuals (for women). Due to a number of very harsh lessons impressed upon her in the past, Tamamo-no-Mae no longer makes use of her still formidable skills in these areas.
:*Cursed Layer: Broad Sunshine (A Rank): Upgrade from Curse Arts. Tamamo is also capable of using the Cursed Boundary Layer, as she explained that it was a world turned inside out with hatred only to kill a target and he could not get out of it unless removing the cause.
*Shapeshift (A Rank): This refers to the abilities of either changing ones appearance or borrowing the physical form of another. As a kitsune, or fox spirit, Tamano-no-Mae is able to alter her appearance and even species at will. However, due to a traumatizing event in a past incarnation that resulted in her death and temporary damnation, she rarely, if ever, uses this ability.
*Fox's Wedding (EX Rank): The Skill Item Construction that received various of her own peculiar tampering. She invented this skill after seeing the Noble Phantasm of a certain JK rival. “Tenkiame is MY specialty!!!”. By one-sidedly declaring a wedding, a sun shower of blessings is shed and souvenirs are pushed on ally-like individuals in congratulations; truly a Cheat-Skill that can only be described as miko-fox. Please, restrain yourself, Amaterasu.
===Noble Phantasm===
Tamamo-no-Mae's Noble Phantasm is her mirror called Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu. This ability would allow Tamamo to counter Violet's Crack Ice, however, she choses not use it against her in fear of revealing her True Name to Hakuno Kishinami.
===Gameplay===
==Forms and Alternate Versions==
===Mythological Mystic Code of the Sun===
In the final arc of Fate/EXTRA CCC, Tamamo-no-Mae unlocks her Origin in order to fight BB, just like Hakuno's other servants (Nero Claudius, No Name or Gilgamesh depending on the player's preferences) do in their respective paths.
====Appearance====
In this form, Tamamo's outfit resembles Amaterasu's. The only notable differences between the two, other than the size, is that Amaterasu has 9 tails, whereas Tamamo only has 1.
====Abilities====
The moment BB gained complete control over the core of the Moon Cell, there was nothing Tamamo and Hakuno Kishinami could do against her, and they were forced to retreat immediately the moment she started erasing the space they were on.Fate/EXTRA CCC - Chapter 6: Critical Pleasure - Alter Ego/S Although they didn't find a way to seal BB's "Ten Crowns", the student council was able to devise countermeasures. As a result of analyzing the data from the Ten Crowns they gained from Robin Hood, Rani VIII and Rin Tohsaka acquired rights to access "original power" from the Moon Cell. The Ten Crowns is the beginning of human history, the dawning of the light of civilization. To summarize, it is the power of the Origin that began the human genome. It is something all human beings hold within them. By entering Tamamo's virtual mind/body to access the Heroic Spirit core directly, Hakuno was able to reach the heroic spirit's root that the Moon Cell had sealed away, and release the Mythological Mystic Code. This is an origin that even the person themselves, in this case, Tamamo, can never know. The farthest point that became the cause of the birth of the entity known as Tamamo. In other words, zero. 
By removing the limiter placed on her, Tamamo would be able to acquire the same level of "fundamental truth" as BB due to now being able to raise her spiritual rank according to her will. Because this is a very powerful engine, this power places much burden on the Servant. Sakura claims that the basic Servant frame is not capable of withstanding the power output of the Mythological Mystic Code, and she asks Hakuno to limit its use to one time only. With this power alone, the student council estimated that Tamamo and Hakuno would have a 0.9999% chance of victory against BB. In order to help Tamamo and Hakuno in the final battle, even if just a little, Rin Tohsaka redirected all the power that had been previously protecting the school building to stop BB and the Alter Egos from entering, and all the resources that comprised the building were transferred to Tamamo, to further empower her. By the point Tamamo finally faces BB, her power is increased to the same rank as hers. Being able to match BB in capability and rank of powers wielded, the battle between the two becomes rather competitive. In the Bad Ending, where BB gets to use her Noble Phantasm Cursed Cutting Crater, Tamamo loses and is vanquished. Hakuno blames themselves, saying they were just one step short, and that they're sure that if they were given another chance, they'd definitely be able to corner BB. In the Good Ending, Hakuno and Tamamo are successful in preventing BB from using her Noble Phantasm by severing her connection with the Moon Cell, defeating her in the process. 
In the Sakura route after defeating BB, Tamamo and Hakuno face Kiara Sessyoin, who by absorbing Passionlip, Meltryllis, BB, and Sakura Matou to form her core, taking complete control of the Moon Cell, and Hans Christian Andersen pouring all his Noble Phantasm into her, metamorphosed into a divine Daemon, becoming a similar existence to a True Daemon and Buddha. With her new powers, Kiara blasted Tamamo away to the ends of the galaxy, only for her to return shortly after. Although the world inside the Moon Cell may be a conceptual space, it's not a distance Tamamo on her own should be able to close off in a single instant. To do so, she flew faster than the speed of light. Tamamo claims that the reversal of time is nothing special as well, and that she just reduced to zero the distance from the to in order to perform that feat.Fate/EXTRA CCC - Hakuno's Servants surpassing the speed of light against Kiara translated
Although Kiara Sessyoin had ascended to the position of a god after gaining complete control of the Moon Cell, she ended up defeated by Hakuno Kishinami, a mere human, and Tamamo. Being regarded by Andersen as an omnipotent being, there surely was no reason for her to lose against them. Surprisingly, Hakuno just happened to be the only person she couldn't use her "omnipotence" against. Kiara had not only based her powers in BB and Sakura, but the Alter Egos as well. It was because those girls whom she had taken as her core kept opposing her desperately inside her to protect their own love that Kiara lost. She fought head-on all confidently while being unaware of her own weak points. Had she know this beforehand, Kiara claims that she would have just blown them away to some random realm, just to later destroy that realm alongside them.
Noble Phantasms:Tamamo-no-Mae's Noble Phantasm is Eightfold Blessing of Amaterasu.
===Moon Crux===
Tamamo possesses a Spiritrons-enhancement Mystic Code that can wear with the power of the Regalia in Fate/EXTELLA. Moonlight Mystic Code. The Moon Cell version of the “Big Crunch.” It is made by collecting all of the pseudo-spiritrons (light cells) within the Moon.
====Appearance====
Tamamo-no-Mae's Form Change combines the luxuriousness of a dangerous beauty with the duality of yin and yang. No matter how you slice it, she looks like the boss of an expensive hostess club. Back in the planning stages, there was also a yakuza wife-themed outfit, a kimono with chest bindings and tattoos from the neck to the shoulder, but that was unfortunately scrapped.
====Abilities====
The Regalia is an Anti-Velber defense mechanism created by the Moon Cell. At the core of its concept, the Moon Cell is built to survey and observe, not to fight or defend, even if it can see a threat coming. That's why it chose Nero Claudius, the winner of the Moon Holy Grail War, as its defender. However, due to Archimedes' plot, the Regalia was split in three, allowing Tamamo to gain one one-third of the Regalia's Authority. The Moon Crux transformation is a hidden power from the Regalia with which Tamamo temporarily gains special admin access to the Moon Cell, drawing Magical Energy from it to power herself. It is also infused with Anti-Velber technology.
Despite Tamamo having a seemingly physically fragile body, thanks to this form, her great power allowed her to single-handedly defeat Li Shuwen in combat. However, fighting him left her exhausted. Normally, Gilgamesh's Spiritual Core outclasses Tamamo's by leaps and bounds. Howerver, she states that with the Regalia's Royal Authority and the support of her destined husband she would have better reasons to win. In a similar way, Tamamo is confident that despite Nero Claudius having access to her own Regalia, she would have nothing to fear from her. However, she still lost to Nero. According to Archimedes, due to Nero’s superior experience and skill, her defeating Tamamo was a mathematical certainty.
Karna warns Tamamo that fighting Gawain powered by the Sun would be unwise, and recommends her leading Gawain to Lu Bu instead, who should be on par with him. While Lu Bu keeps him occupied, Tamamo destroyed the markers that were empowering him by drawing sunlight into the Moon Cell. After Gawain loses the sun buff, Tamamo defeats him.
Even with the Regalia, under normal circumstances, Tamamo would be unable to defeat Altera due to having no way to get close enough to strike her down before being blasted away by her Noble Phantasm, Teardrop Photon Ray. However, during their fight in the "Orchids Words" arc, Tamamo defeated her by using a decoy that allowed her to pull off a perfect surprise attack. Tamamo played on Altera's knowledge of her recklessness, then tricked her into lowering her guard. By using most of the Regalia's resources, Tamamo constructed a perfect body double that got hit by Teardrop Photon Ray. The real Tamamo took this opportunity to hide and expend all the remaining resources of the Regalia to give herself an ability similar to an innate presence-blocking skill, at the cost of destroying the ring. When the moment to sneak attack Altera arrived, she used her most powerful spell, Gyokutenhou, to strike Altera five times consecutively, defeating her in the process.
===Swimsuit===
Even while wearing a swimsuit, as expected, she still the usual Tamamo-no-Mae. However, thanks to being in a vacation this time around, she has completely exhausted her magic energy and turned into a beast of summer.
That is the reason behind her abnormally high physical ability. Maybe due to an overflowing complacency, she seems more refined and high-society than the usual Tamamo. She herself seems to under the assumption of an elegant mannequin. But a true lady wouldn't be cheerfully carrying a swim ring, with the full intention of playing around.Fate/Grand Order - Tamamo-no-Mae (Lancer), Translation by Master of Chaos
When talking about summer, it is the beach. When talking about beach, it is the parasol. When talking about parasol, it is yours dependable miko-fox. This is, surely, the common sense of the ...! A solar explosion. Making a wet T-shirt and a swim ring as her weapons, Lancer Tamamo-chan, sunshining on the southern countries!
Tamamo-no-Mae is a good-wife-aspirant, extravagant miko shaman. In the deathbed of the Heian Period, this peerless beauty served the retired emperor Toba. It has been said that she is the disguised appearance of the nine-tailed fox Hakumen Kinmou, and also said to be a Divided Spirit of Amaterasu Oomikami. Since she has that much of a career, it should be fine to come about a life of fully enjoying a vacation in the southern countries... so thought Tamamo-chan.
====Abilities====
Class Skills:
*Riding (A Rank): Talent for riding. It is natural for the Lancer class, but it feels like the rank is very high.
*Territory Creation (A Rank): What “trauma from the past”? Summer beach is my hunting ground, needless to say it’s the power to create territory. Be elegant at any time and any place, the beach parasol is not just for show.
*Divinity (A++ Rank): A Divided Spirit of a Divine Spirit...or avatar, or incognito...that is what supposed to be. But this is the result of summer. Shining like the sun on the beach! As if that sexy pose is the normally suppressed Divinity. What is going on, good wife fox?
Personal Skills:
*Beach Flower (EX Rank): Truly, the incarnation of a sunflower. A goddess of summer has descended here. "No no, I am in fact a deity." While the Tamamo of summer appeals her beauty as a woman, this is not the attitude of making love-traps whenever she has a chance. When it comes to summer・beach・parasol, it is about a chance to appeal her refinement. A strategy of putting up more charms than usual in the summer beach, so that the other party is already madly in love by the time they return to their ordinary days. "Instead of a lady, isn't that a hunter already?" "Indeed, that's exactly right master. Despite being the original, she is a Tamamo-no-Mae who stuck one foot into the Tamamo-Nine... the hunter of the sea, also known as Tamamo-Shark". Is she really the incarnation of a sunflower? Attack power of allies are raised and additional effects are granted for male Servants. Her figure is just like a goddess of summer. “No no, I am an actual deity right?”
*Midsummer Curse Arts (A Rank): Powerful charm ability. Although the enemy suffers from various debuffs, at the same time charge gauge increases due to their mood being lifted. A skill that requires getting used to, but a very powerful and convenient skill when used right. Turning demerit into merit!
*Goddess Metamorphosis (B Rank): Highest form of Shapeshift skill. User transforms into a goddess, gaining a feast of buffs. But then she is stunned afterwards. Apparently there was a holy woman in a certain cyberspace who acquired this Skill. Incidentally, Tamamo's Divinity has casually became A++, but that is because her aspects as Amaterasu leaking out under the summer sun modifiers, or something like that.
Noble Phantasm:Tamamo-no-Mae's Noble Phantasm is Everlasting Summer Sunlight.

It was thanks to Kazuya Niinō who helped Nasu design the character, he said to Nasu "I hope Caster is a very cute girl with Japanese style furry ears". Nasu thought it would be a good occasion to debut a character with cute animal ears for the male players. Nasu further explains that if he wrote Caster, she'd become a character with a lot of neurotic attributes, so he decided to pass it along to other writers to write. However Nasu gave Caster the top priority to start scripting because Archer already has a high popularity in "Fate" but his role was weak.Fate/EXTRA Visual Fanbook - Nasu interview, p.080
Tamamo-no-Mae was designed by Takashi Takeuchi and refined by Arco Wada in Fate/EXTRA. Arco Wada didn’t expect a character with fox ears to come to life like she did, so Arco was very surprised about that and personally thinks Caster is an adorable character.
Tamamo-no-Mae was illustrated by Arco Wada in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Kinoko Nasu in Fate/Grand Order.Fate/Grand Order material II - Tamamo-no-Mae, p.206-213 translated by WaifuHunter at reddit
