Caster (Scheherazade)

==Summary==
Caster is a Caster-class Servant Ritsuka Fujimaru can summon in the Epic of Remnant chapter of Fate/Grand Order. She initially appears as the primary antagonist of the Agartha sub-singularity, working with the Demon God Phenex to dismantle the Servant system so that she would not have to die again.
Caster's True Name is Scheherazade, the famous narrator of One Thousand and One Nights, telling the tyrannical king Shahryar tale after tale without concluding any of them to stave off death night after night. While the story claims that she was eventually accepted by Shahryar as his bride and taught him the virtue of patience, Scheherazade herself says that no such thing happened to her in life.

Standard Equipment: Her scroll
Intelligence: An unparalleled teller of stories, she managed to stave off death for hundreds of nights by leading king Shahryar on by never concluding a story and leaving him eager to hear the next one. She is also an able tactician and manipulator, pitting the various factions of the Agartha singularity against each other while providing sound tactical advice to hasten the downfall of her foes. However, as a Servant suited to the bedroom rather than the battlefield, Scheherazade has virtually no battle potential, leaving her helpless against other Servants once found. Also, she is utterly terrified of death, going so far as to make herself as pathetic as possible to get the protagonist and their party of Servants to spare her
Weaknesses: Scheherazade is an abysmal fighter and is utterly terrified of the prospect of death, willingly prostrating herself at her aggressor's feet and begging them not to kill her at the first sign of actual danger. Cannot attack or use her abilities while in Spirit Form. Creating more of her tales in large quantity will consume a lot of her mana
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Noble Phantasm===
Alf Layla wa-Layla: One Thousand and One Nights: Scheherazade's Noble Phantasm, a Reality Marble she possesses as a Heroic Spirit due to how her incredibly detailed and engrossing narration blurred the line between reality and fiction in the minds of countless readers as well as the World itself. Upon activation, she can manifest the characters from any one of the many tales she is said to have told, even those she had not told in life, in One Thousand and One Nights due to the very world itself being fooled to believing them to be real.
As such, famous heroes and monsters from her collection of tales will spring to life to fight for her along with the tools, spirits, and settings of their respective stories. She has been known to frequently summon Ali Baba, Aladdin, Djinns, and other creatures to do battle in her place. Due to the nature of her tales, this Noble Phantasm is particularly effective against those she believes to have the disposition of a "King", becoming a special attack to be used against them. Even those that she can consider a king, such as Oda Nobunaga who is known for her title as the "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven", will become more susceptible to this Noble Phantasms special effect. While of limited usage under normal circumstances, Scheherazade's deal with Demon Pillar Phenex allowed her to greatly expand her Noble Phantasm's power, range, and influence, causing the world of fiction to encroach upon reality and bringing about the Agartha Singularity in the process. When bolstered by this power, she was able to summon settings and figures as famous as El Dorado and Christopher Columbus and modify the Saint Graphs of other Servants, such as Heracles, to her advantage.
===Class Skills===
*Territory Creation: The ability to modify an area into one advantageous to oneself as a magus. Although Scheherazade was not a magus in life, her A++ Rank in this skill allows her to create a "Sleeping Quarters" for her own survival.
===Personal Skills===
*Narrator: The ability to recite and narrate a story with outstanding eloquence and grace, adapting to the mood and preferences of the listener to select the most appealing way to tell a story in a way completely separate from written works of literature. Due to the nature of her own story, Scheherazade has an EX-Rank in this skill, being an unparalleled narrator of tales and legends.
*Bedchambers of Survival: By combining her physical charm, that of the place around her, and the allure of her actions with her Territory Creation skill, Scheherazade can create a space where she is least likely to be killed compared to anywhere else in the world.
*Counter Hero: The ability to rank down the parameters of other "heroes" in the user's presence. Scheherazade's version of this skill is exclusively for "Kings", reading their mood, character, abilities, doctrine, physical condition, and other characteristics to best determine a means of staying alive in the face of their presence, denoting her rank in this skill as an A. In the moment when she has decided to confront a king as a storyteller with “a heroic tale that is about to be erased”, or in the moment when she has carried out a justifiable confrontation with a story of “a hero who secretly saved the world”, this is sublimated into a special Skill unique only to her known as "Counter-Hero (Story)".
