Kingprotea

, Class Name , is an Alter Ego-class High-Servant of BB in the CCC Incident of Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail. She is also summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
==Profile==
===Identity===
A High-Servant created by BB. With the G meaning "gigantism, growing, greed", She was created from BB accessing the Moon Cell's Servant Archive and selecting goddesses compatible with Ego from inside of it. While typically created from multiple goddesses, Kingprotea was created from the essence of the Earth Mother Goddesses common throughout all mythologies, notably taking particular influence from Tiamat during her manifestation in Chaldea.
 Her ranking amongst the Sakura Five is the lowest position, but her presence in SE.RA.PH is the strongest. She was originally sealed by BB at the ends of the imaginary number space, as BB realized she was too dangerous to be left unattended.
===Components===
====Titania (Titan)====
The first component of Kingprotea is . Not to be confused with Titania.
====Airavata====
The second component of Kingprotea is from Indian Mythology.
====Tiamat====
The third component of Kingprotea is from Mesopotamian Mythology.
===Appearance===
Kingprotea is a giantified version of Sakura covered in bandages and green mosses, possibly referring to her being created from Earth Mother Goddesses. One of her eyes is pale purple; the other is usually covered by a bandage but is revealed to be orange-red in her third ascension. She has long hair that reaches down to the bottom of her body. Like other members of Sakura Five, she has a ribbon tied on the left side of her head with the color being white. 
Kingprotea's second ascension causes her to grow a large flower bud and long brown horns out of her head, while the bandages are replaced with further mossy growths. Her hands also develop red pads on their palms. She calls this her "kaiju form". Her third ascension, apparently drawing from her divine essences, lacks both the moss and the bandages, replacing them with an ornate green and white striped outfit that reveals an orange tattoo covering Kingprotea's abdomen. The flower bud on her head is now in full bloom, resembling a crown. 
Within the depths of her Maiden Coaster, Kingprotea is no larger than an ordinary girl and wears a wedding dress over her regular outfit. 
===Personality===
Kingprotea is the "Alter Ego of thirst of love."
The original Kingprotea was an "innocent little girl hungry for love" that believed that her love for Hakuno could only be filled by devouring or killing him, but the Kingprotea released at the Cyberbrain City SE.RA.PH, perhaps due to the influence of Kiara, has gained knowledge from half-way of growing up. 
She has the image of a little girl that is about 14 years old in terms of mental age, introverted, and fickle. However, she’s greedy for love, so she pulls moves like those of a late bloomer, behaves positively, and is a girl who loves skinship despite being otherwise taciturn. The gap between resembling a rabbit that won’t come out in front of others or a friendly large-breed dog is amazing. Her self-confidence is lacking, in part because she realizes that BB had discarded her. 
She is not belligerent, but it’s not as if she hates/fears fighting. When it comes to battle, she will exterminate the opponent without mercy no matter how weak (of low level) they are. As long as she doesn’t feel pain in her heart. 
For good or for evil, Protea isn’t aware about she herself being a cruel god of destruction. In her mind, she is not giant- everything else is just too small. She is not powerful- everything else is too weak. 
Her dream is to be a "cute bride", but as the concepts of "cute" and "bride" are not separate in her mind she doesn't particularly think in terms of being cute, or in terms of maintaining a human size. 
She associates being given orders with being loved, and will eagerly obey her Master as best as she can. But if the affection from her Master is not enough, her hunger for love will become uncontrollable and she will ultimately consume them. 
Protea is fond of tokusatsu movies, having learned about them from SE.RA.PH.'s database and seeing how audiences loved kaiju despite their nature as enemies of humanity. Her second ascension's appearance was inspired by the design of a kaiju.

;BB／BB Cosmos
:"BB... Mother's scary, but I don't hate her. After all, I think I'm the ego she most fears..."Fate/Grand Order Lines
:She’s the parent that created her so she calls her 「Mother」, but she doesn’t respect her.
:She thinks of her as the 『fairy godmother』 from Cinderella.
:Despite being locked away by her, Kingprotea doesn't hold a grudge against BB.
;Kingprotea Alter
;Sakura Five
:They’re sisters so they’re comparatively easy to talk to. Protea, who feels like she has been 『left out』 by the other Servants, the faces of the Sakura Five have become 『the same kind』.
:That said, she’s at the bottom in the Sakura Five’s hierarchy. She suffers from the curse of the Sakura family that the one with the strongest firepower gets bullied.
:She thinks of them as the 『step-sisters』 from Cinderella.
;Meltryllis
:"I'm stronger than Meltryllis. And since I'm good at swimming, I'll be fine even if Meltryllis turns into a tsunami!"
;Passionlip
:"Passionlip is probably a little dangerous. If she pulls a surprise attack, even I would end up getting turned into a cube..."
;Kazuradrop
:While Kingprotea is on good terms with the other members of the Sakura Five, Kazuradrop worries her. This is due to Kazura's nature of "I must weaken my surroundings because the world is detestable" conflicting with Kingprotea's nature of "I must grow stronger because the world is scary".
;Violet
;Kiara Sessyoin (Alter Ego)
:"Is that Sessyoin Kiara!? So she hasn't given up, has she!? Step back, Master! I'm going to beat her down! I'm not going to let this place turn into SE.RA.PH! Eh...? She's not the Beast? She's a Servant? ...Now that you mention it, she's very small... And she's an Alter Ego? I'm a little embarrassed that others might think she and I are friends..."
:The common enemy of the Sakura Five. According to Protea’s instincts, she feels she can defeat Kiara, who has become a True Daemon, by surpassing her limits.
;Tiamat
:As one of the essences that compose her, she respects her, and haves some affinity towards her.
;Ganesha
:"I've never thought of other living creatures as big. But I just met someone who I feel I'd never be able to beat... Ganesha...is very...plump..."
;Parvati
:"Being around Parvati makes me so calm. I feel a strange affinity with her... I'm sure she's the sort aspiring cute brides should look up to!"
;Gorgon
:"Master, I just met a wonderful Servant in the big storage room! So her name's Gorgon? She's so chic, so cool-looking... She's what an adult woman should look like. I strive to be more like her... Do you think I could be like her if I try?"
;Mecha Eli-chan / Mecha Eli-chan MkII
:"That iron princess... I don't like her much. A mechanical kaiju isn't cute at all. I bet she's just made out of scrap metal because of budget cuts, and she'll just destroy the town using missiles and laser beams without any real action. That's just sad! As an animal-type giant Alter Ego...I can't lose to her!"
;Paul Bunyan
:She wants them to get along as giant-type Servants. She thinks she wants to relax at an isolated island of a southern country with Bunyan and Master, the three of them alone.
;Altera
:For some reason she’s interested in her. But why? She tilts her head.
;Ivan the Terrible
:"It’s the first time I meet a Servant larger than me! And on top of that, he’s soooo cool!"
:She’s really excited after seeing Ivan’s Noble Phantasm. She seems to mistake him for a kaiju.

=== Fate/Grand Order===
==== SE.RA.PH -Second Ballet-: Cage of the Fallen====
In the process of turning Seraphix into SE.RA.PH, Kiara Sessyoin unintentionally brought over Kingprotea's prison due to being part of the original SE.RA.PH. Despite her growing power as a Beast, Kingprotea was deemed too difficult to deal with and was banished to slumber at the bottom of the Klein Cube, a digital trash compactor outside of SE.RA.PH. where unwanted junk code was dumped. Its non-existence was only possible due to the unique nature of SE.RA.PH., making it possible to contain Kingprotea and her infinite growth in the Cage of the Fallen.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - SE.RA.PH - Deep-Sea Cyber-Nirvana, Cage of the Fallen
The arrival of Ritsuka Fujimaru, who is described as wandering off out of curiosity despite the time-sensitive task of saving SE.RA.PH., ends up proving the Klein Cube's existence, alerting Kingprotea to their presence even in her sleep. Her endless yearning and sheer mass instantly create a gravitational field, leading H.C.A. to appear before Ritsuka on BB's behalf. He chastises them for their recklessness and explains that they will now have to confront and defeat Kingprotea, or she will venture from the Cage to find them, destroying all in her wake. Ritsuka is ultimately successful at defeating her, but are uneasy about having to kill what is essentially an innocent being. H.C.A. reassures them that they did what they needed to do and suggests that her craving might be appeased if she can be summoned into the real world and subsequently be bound by physical laws that would restrict her growth. 
====All In! Las Vegas Championship Match (Summer 2021)====
Kingprotea appears in Las Vegas, working with Meltryllis in her casino.Fate/Grand Order - All In! Las Vegas Championship Match - Seven Duels of Swordbeauties!, Third Casino "Sword or Art"
====Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue====
Kingprotea appears in the South American Lostbelt as one of the Chaldean Servants chosen to help Ritsuka. She becomes corrupted by Camazotz and is transformed into Kingprotea Alter. Ritsuka later breaks Camazotz' control over her with the aid of Rasputin, reverting her to her usual self.
==Abilities==
On one hand, Kingprotea is the lowest-ranked of the Sakura Five, but on the other hand, she is the strongest within SE.RA.PH. In the digital world, she has complete unrestricted growth potential, thanks to her Huge Scale skill, which grants her infinite growth.Fate/Grand Order - Kingprotea character profile If left unattended, Kingprotea would become a walking disaster capable of consuming SE.RA.PH and the Moon Cell. Eventually, she would become a threat of universal scale that could destroy whole planets, contaminating the ocean of stars. When BB realized Kingprotea was way too dangerous, she placed a firewall, known as Infantile Regression, around her to restrain her and sealed her away in the Fallen Seraphic Cage. BB then discarded her into the Imaginary Number Space where she could do no harm.Fate/EXTRA CCC Fox Tail - Chapter 64.5: Divergence Point I During the events of the SE.RA.PH. Singularity, Hans Christian Andersen states that Kingprotea is a monster so awful that even BB threw her hands up pretending not to see it, and so dreadful that even Kiara Sessyoin gave up on it when she planned to take over Seraphix. He further explains that if she were to be released, everyone on SE.RA.PH would be destroyed. According to Kingprotea’s instincts, she feels she can defeat Kiara Sessyoin (Beast III/R), who has become a True Daemon, by surpassing her limits.
Kingprotea in the material world on Earth has her growth restricted by several factors, so her Saint Graph has been ranked down and her minimum height has been reduced to five meters. She constantly is faced with "pressure" from both the Counter Force of Earth and the laws of the material world that has built-in limits. Beings are presented with factors like "There’s no longer anything to eat" and "There’s no more growth to be had," so she can experience her vessel being filled. Even in this state she is so powerful that the combined efforts of Siegfried, Summer Nero, Fuuma Kotarou, Katsushika Hokusai, Mash Kyrielight stand no chance against her. Mash states that she could hold Kingprotea back for a while thanks to being a Shielder. Thanks to Passionlip arriving to aid them, they manage to defeat Kingprotea.
===Combat===
Kingprotea grows larger with every passing second, so the more a fight drags on, the greater advantage she will get. That is why Hans Christian Andersen recommends to blast her with a full power attack right from the start in order to defeat her. That way, she will take damage faster than the speed at which she is growing. Another option, though Hans doesn't recommend it, is to hold out for as long as possible, since even a monster such as Kingprotea has limits. He says that there should be a moment of vulnerability when she's transitioning to her next growth phase. 
The interior of Kingprotea’s body is a sea of Imaginary Number Space that even the “First” BB can’t grasp. It is impossible for someone who has been devoured by her to return to the outside world. She can also send the people she eats to her "heart", where her true form bound by BB's curse lies. The skill restraining her heart is so strong, that it can be seen by the naked eye, taking the form of electricity. Having had that curse in her heart for so long, Kingprotea managed to analyze it to the point she could use it on others, as seen when she attacked Tamamo-no-Mae with a portion of it. However, being an expert on casting curses herself, Tamamo was able to repel it without much difficulty. Having gained such a deep understanding of the curse binding her, Kingprotea was able to undo it herself thanks to "First" BB using Domina Coronam to prevent Hakuno Kishinami from escaping the Bug Space after having summoned Tamamo with a Command Spell. This chain of events created an alteration in both Domina Cornam's field and the Bug Space, linking them both to the normal time axis. Thanks to this, Kingprotea was temporarily detached from the Cursed Field. Kingprotea wouldn't have been able to do this were it not for her extraordinary strength, the fruit of her Grow Up Grow skill, which allowed her to break through the seal with sheer strength. With the Infantile Regression skill that served as Protea’s shackles undone, she got free from Kazuradrop's control.
Even under the influence of the Curse implanted by BB restraining her infinite growth, Kingprotea is completely abnormal - something on the level of a natural disaster. Normally, as with Amaterasu, a group of several Servants working together would be needed just to have a chance at beating her. Her natural enemy is Passionlip, as in theory, Lip’s Trash & Crush skill makes it possible to seal Kingprotea away. The Alter Ego sisters seem to enjoy a triangular power relationship where Passionlip beats Kingrotea, Kingprotea beats Meltryllis, and Meltryllis beats Passionlip. Without the seal restraining her, she becomes able to grow endlessly, and thus, Kazuradrop’s Bug Space is unable to miniaturize her. No matter how much Kazuradrop tries, it is futile, and it just increases the risk and burden on her. Kazuradrop states that she is an opponent with the worst possible compatibility for her. Kazuradrop used BB's shadows and Meltryllis' All Drain to momentarily restrain Kingprotea, but they were still ineffective against her great physical strength. Kazuradrop took this instant to activate Domina Coronam so that she could buy herself just enough time to widen the distance between them. Once she was at the right distance, Kazuradrop used Trash & Crush on Kingprotead, successfully terminating her.
===Skills===
====Class Skills====
*Grow Up Grow (EX Rank): This is her cheat skill Experience Point Bonus further evolved by going out of control “Experience Point Bonus” is supposed to increase the amount of XP gained from battle by a certain percent, but Kingprotea further hacked the skill so that she is "Always gaining Experience Points." Although this skill seems rather threatening, there is an upper level limit set for all programs. Anyone who obtains this skill can effortlessly achieve the highest level in the game; however it only increases the target’s level, and does not improve their stats. If you compare a character who achieved max level through fair play to a character who used this cheat skill to achieve max level, the cheater character’s stats will be far lower. This is, in other words, a so-called “trap skill.” Thanks to the strength this skill grants Kingprotea, she was able to break through the strengthened firewall that Kazuradrop had prepared in anticipation of a surprise attack from Julius B. Harwey to the Bug Space as if it were a fragile piece of paper. Even when she is reset to level 1, her "newborn" state, she's powerful enough to create a gravity fluctuation. 
*Mad Enhancement (A+ Rank): Protea, being a giant and a harmful existence to the world no matter how favorable she is with humans, can’t share her values with humans in the fundamental parts. Protea’s acknowledgment of thinking that she’s not big but the surroundings are just small, and that she’s not strong but the surroundings are just weak, is nothing but a disaster for humanity.
*Independent Action (B Rank): Protea, who has a powerful Mana Core, can preserve her own Saint Graph even without a Master. For Protea, the Master is not 『a necessary keystone to bound her / a source of mana supply』, but just 『the one who summoned her』. In the case that a Master succeeded in summoning her in a Holy Grail War, the 『duty to supply the Servant with mana』 would disappear for that Master. It depends on the Master whether they see it as an advantage or as a predicament.
*Territory Creation (EX Rank): She possesses an abnormal Territory Creation skill. Protea herself, who keeps hypertrophying her own Saint Graph, is a Temple ——— synonymous with a territory.
*High-Servant (EX Rank): Alter Egos are complexes of multiple goddesses, but Kingprotea was made from the essence of the Great Earth Mothers common to all mythologies. She has the essence of Titania (Titan), Airavata, and Tiamat, but her true nature… The Cerebral Corpus sleeping in the interior of her Saint Graph, is said to have the figure of a childish little girl.
*Divine Core of the Goddess (A Rank): A skill that represents that one is a perfected goddess since birth. It has the effect of preserving the absoluteness of mind and body. It mitigates most mental interference / no persuasion would change her perception, and the body doesn’t grow / no magecraft can make her body human-sized.
====Personal Skills====
*Huge Scale (EX→C→C+→B Rank): An id es skill born from Growth Desire that evolved from using Self-Modification as a base. It enables unlimited expansion of Kingprotea's size and scale. Due to limitations imposed by the force of gravity on Earth, life forms have an upper limit on their size. Even in the sea, the size of a whale is more of less as big as it can get. The same goes for buildings, due to limitations of construction technology and financing; there is nothing that can be infinitely enlarged. This also holds true in the cyber world where the laws of physics don’t apply. All programs have a limit on their level, and no matter how greatly a program excels, in order to surpass its boundary it must separate and optimize itself. (As a rule, when a program gets bigger the speed of communication with the hardware terminal drops, so a program needs to be split into various specialized parts. So called Divine Spirits are an example of this, having successfully split up their processes into multiple avatars.) However, the owner of this skill, Kingprotea, can grow without end. When her level exceeds the limit, she expands the boundary herself and sets an even higher max limit. This can be repeated infinitely. Kingprotea has no desire to complicate things, it’s just that she has specialized in “swallow” therefore she is unable separate from her ability to enlarge which is vital to her specialization. The result is that she is unable to create duplicates of herself (avatar) that are of normal size and limitation, and as a lone Ego she is destined to continue to enlarge. If left alone, she will end up becoming a disaster on a universe scale capable of destroying planets, however she would not destroy the universe itself. This is because the speed at which the universe is expanding is faster than the speed at which Kingprotea is enlarging. Since the more she is gigantified the more the complexity of intellect · functions is lost, an ordinary intelligent being would be unable to endure this skill, and would self-collapse. In the past it was an EX rank out of the norm, but Chaldea’s summoning system can’t recreate it and it’s ranked-down. The maximum HP increase from the turn it’s used. This is permanent until Infantile Regression is used.
*Infantile Regression (C Rank): Shackles put by BB. A safety device that suppresses the infinitely growing Kingprotea. Once Kingprotea’s age (Saint Graph) has surpassed a predefined value this curse restores her to the state she was in at a younger age, and resets the hypertrophied self. It’s a protective process that prevents her from ever reaching an adult age. The opposite of aging. This curse starts to take effect when Kingprotea reaches age 20, and restores her back to her 8 year old state. When returned to the age of 8 her growth resumes again, so this cycle is a repeating loop. Using it turns the extra maximum HP obtained by 『Huge Scale』 to zero, gains NP depending on the reduced HP, and speeds up the skill charge. Protea keeps shrinking if 『Infantile Regression』 is used after Huge Scale, but miniaturization beyond the default value of 30 meters is impossible. Endlessly repeating this loop caused Kingprotea to lose his mind.
*Area Crushing (C Rank): Changes normal attacks to AoE damage. The vast range attacks that large size enemies or above have. If Huge Scale reaches an extreme, she would display enough suppressive power to attack not enemy individuals, but the space itself. (Not used in Fate/Grand Order) 
*Monstrous Strength (EX Rank): The average 『Monstrous Strength』 skill that 『demonic entities』 represented by Anti-Heroes have. But Kingprotea using it, that alone, makes her a threat. At the moment, the only Servants that have Monstrous Strength at EX Rank are Tiamat and Kingprotea.
**Great River Beast (B Rank): Upgrade from Monstrous Strength in Fate/Grand Order.
*Self-Suggestion (EX Rank): Suggestion applied to oneself. A skill that raises resistance against mental interference. At A rank "I do not age = Truly stops aging" level of assumption is possible. At EX level, whatever is going on in that mental world is outside of understanding.
===Noble Phantasm===
Originally, Kingprotea doesn't possess a Noble Phantasm. In fact, Her self can be treated as a Noble Phantasm, in specific, her Huge Scale skill essentially qualifies as such.
As a Servant of Chaldea, it has become possible for her to display a separate Noble Phantasm, known as Airavata King Size, in exchange for her Saint Graph being ranked down. With this ability, Kingprotea temporarily gets rid of the pressure on her body caused by the Counter Force and the laws of physics of the material world. This manifests as a Reality Marble in which Protea uses the Mana Core in her interior, deploys the cybernetic world SE.RA.PH, and returns to her original size.
==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
Kingprotea was originally meant to be a character in Fate/EXTRA CCC before being cut in development. She was planned to cause chaos while Hakuno was traveling through Sakura Labyrinth for a long time; she would try and prevent Hakuno from passing onwards by breaking the passage.
Kingprotea was designed by Arco Wada in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Kinoko Nasu in Fate/Grand Order.
The bonus scenario in which she appears in the Fate/Grand Order event, SE.RA.PH -Second Ballet-, is based on the original notes of her planned appearance in Fate/EXTRA CCC as detailed in the respective material book.
===Comment from Illustrator===
"At the time of CCC, I couldn’t put her but since the Sakura Five are established let’s try a rough drawing as an experiment03:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC)~~! To think that the day in which I would seriously wake up the children I drew with a loose mood…! Me from that time… Think about… The details…! Wish I could borrow a bit of the cuteness of the version drawn by Takenoko Seijin-sensei in Fate/EXTRA CCC FoxTail. My Room’s really huge." (Arco Wada)
