Kiara Sessyoin (Alter Ego)

, Class Name is an Alter Ego-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order. She also appears as an enemy-only MoonCancer-class Servant.
==Profile==
===Identity===
Also known as and . She appears in “FGO” as a staff of the offshore oil platform Seraphix. While she was exasperated upon being allocated to the Western church despite being a Buddhist, she wholeheartedly endeavored in her professional duties. At this point of time Kiara was unmistakably a saint. But on January 2017, having escaped alive from the Temporal Temple, the demon pillar Zepar ended up hijacking her body and turning her into a puppet in order to rule over the Seraphix as a demon underling. Zepar plan failed and at some point Zepar itself was dominated by Kiara, who turned into a Demon that could freely manipulate demon pillars and in the end metamorphosed into a Beast. Kiara discovered her most excellent self among the many parallel worlds and fused with it. Bringing up the imaginary phenomena of the CCC world to the FGO world, she turned her own body into a SE.RA.PH and grew by making Servants into source of nutrients. Ultimately, she schemed to become one with the Earth, but her climax was obstructed by Meltryllis, BB, Passionlip and Chaldea's Master. As she was about to die, she felt doubt for the first time in her life and chose to produce an Alter Ego of herself to let Chaldea summon her.
Kiara's connection to the SE.RA.PH Subcategory Singularity and her nature as Beast III/R are forgotten by everyone other than BB and her Alter Egos. Within Chaldea, Ritsuka's and Chaldea's acknowledgement of Kiara's existence is hazy, not even recalling when and how she was summoned.
===Appearance===
===Personality===
She became more obedient by turning into an Alter Ego. To be specific, she vowed to herself to lead a life of contentment until her contract ends. Therefore, even though her personality has not changed, she no longer thinks of preying on everyone she lays eyes upon. Her attitude towards the Master is just like the enemy of Buddha - the Mara. Even while awaiting in anticipation for the moment when the Master will lose to his desires and indulge in her, she cheers on so that he does not lose to her temptations.
Her personality is introverted, timid and active. A graceful and elegant woman, but by no means strait-laced. Possessing the nonchalance and tolerance to respond to any joke with an smile, her personality is warm and tender. Despite showing a chaste sense of values and speech, her words sometimes have a strange eroticism. Gentle yet assertive. Vigorous despite feeble-looking. Empathetic and filled with compassion. She possess the thoughtfulness to perceive the truth of things, read the hearts of all people and properly understand their standpoint・anguish.
Her true nature is that of a bewitching bodhisattva who did nothing but thoroughly investigate narcissism and pleasure until she reached nirvana. A tender sadist and a hard masochist. Although speaks from the bottom of her heart that she “loves humans”, she is a monster of narcissism that speaks of morals simply “for her own sake”, speaks of the preciousness of life simply “for her own sake” and also protects the world simply “for her own sake”.
For Kiara, she alone is “human” and all other humans are merely beasts or insects that had taken human form. As such, despite directing her love towards the whole outside world, its final destination is something “for her own sake”.
A pervert not only in regards to sexual pleasure: she consumes all surrounding lives “for her own sake” and feels the greatest sensuality in seeing them self-destruct. Because of that, she thinks that it is OK to be raped or killed. Also thinks that it is OK to rape or kill. At any rate, it is fine so long as the life of that human ends by means of the female body called “Sesshouin Kiara”. Kiara will attentively watch that image and simply smile while feeling ecstasy. That state is like a bodhisattva who watches over people's lives in pity. Even if that is a path towards destruction for those who are trifled with while on the palm of her hand, this process is undoubtedly a heavenly pleasure.
She obeys her Master for the time being as a result of a vow of devotion she made to serve them. However, she only intends to remain as a Servant until her Master is either killed or corrupted by her temptations, at which point she will become Beast III/R once again.
====Relationships====
;Kiara Sessyoin (MoonCancer)
:"Becoming a MoonCancer not merely by consuming mermaid flesh but by feasting upon other abyssal aberrations... Although I was the one to undertake such a deed, I can't help but wonder where my head was at the time—Excuse me?! Because the Little Mermaid is my childhood hero?! M-M-M-M-My, how silly of you! That's just silly! Stupid! First and foremost, where has one ever seen such an overgrown Little Mermaid? Kindly educate yourself!"
;Hans Christian Andersen
:"Oh. So that boy is named Andersen? I do not know. I do not know of that person at all. Melons, cow-woman, a whore who crawled out of a sewer... No, I do not remember those words at all! As such, please do not invite him into the same room, or especially the same party as me. Do you understand? ... For mercy's sake."Fate/Grand Order Kiara Sessyoin (Alter Ego) Lines translated by Reddit user JunnaMoonlight
:"It's not like I'm concerned or anything like that, but isn't that person in bad shape? After all, there is no sharpness to his abusive language. That is just a nice person who's simply hard to understand! He used to be way worse than this. Laughing at the private parts I was the most conscious about without holding anything back and driving me away without giving a damn, such a useless person... Eh? It depends on the other party, you say? In other words, that is... Pardon me, I remembered an errand I have to take care of so I'll be excusing myself here, alright?" (Kiara absconds while blushing furiously)
;EMIYA Alter
:"Ah. So he also turned into a Servant as well. White hair, a twisted mind, dual-wielding guns... Hehe...what ill fate. The great hero of justice who drenched his own hands in blood, destroying my many followers... All to defeat my own evil. Hehe...how amusing. A fall from grace, and all that remains is the decay. Am I right?"
;Hakuno Kishinami (Male) / Hakuno Kishinami (Female)
:"I may be mistaken, but could that be the Master of the Moon? Quite frankly, he doesn't seem to embody the right virtues of one who could have cast down my counterpart from the Parallel World that rose to the status of an Intrinsic Devil... No, in truth, I surmise it was precisely this thoughtless notion that led to my undoing. It seems that, irrespective of the shape I take and regardless of the world, I fail to grow past this habit of drowning into my own misconceptions."
;Kama
:"Ah...I never expected the Beast that has paired with me is Kama instead of Mara... There's no denying that she's younger than me, but isn't she a bit...too graceless?"
:"I see, so that was L. I'm a being that receives love from all. They are a being that gives love to all. This means we'll never be able to stand together, no?"
;BB Pele
:"My... I have achieved eclosion by my own karma, but it appears she had such grounding since the beginning. For her to get along with a God from Deep Space, she is truly a heretic among heretics at her core. As fellows with similar circumstances, let's get along, shall we?"
;BB Dubai
:"MoonCancers as a new breed of humankind that emerged on the Moon? Now I am most shocked. You live up to the label of monster that the Human Order has placed upon you. An umbrella of stars that has settled above the surface to observe it intently. Who knows who or what might have been able to thwart you?"
;Meltryllis
:"Her pleasure and the pleasure of a woman, that alone could be called the difference, but that Ego and I are opposite existences. If there is a next time, yes, not just her hands, I'll smash her legs too and throw her away at a garbage dump."
;Tamamo-no-Mae
:"To think a bunrei like that would be created by the principal object of my worship, I am astonished. No, rather, I am deeply moved. It's the most optimal way to enjoy life. Fufu. Fine things, aren't they? The Tamamo Nine. Should I also follow their example in secret?"
;Sodom's Beast/Draco
:"My, you have even managed to draw a true Beast to your side. Aww, that charming red frock to covet and scales forged into a cutting edge that penetrates any substance... Not to mention the proverbial cup in her hold! How intoxicatingly alluring! She seems to belong to the Logos of Lapse. However, preceding the Lapse is desire. In other words, pleasure forms the foundation of all. In that case, I'd be thrilled to have you at... Excuse me, forget that just now. Almost forgot that I happen to be currently engaged in asceticism... Ohohoho!"
;Space Ereshkigal
:"So, in a future yet to unfold, humanity will have vanquished mortality? Well, this is exceedingly clear. After all, should mankind fail to achieve that, it shall have no role to play on the cosmic stage. Indeed! Merely "not perishing" is an accomplishment that even the most mundane of vermin can attain. The true question lies not in "if," but rather how you will transcend over death."
;Archetype: Earth
:"May I have a moment, Master? Have you been faring well with Lady Archetype?... Is that so? How delightful! In that case, I'd like to request that you present us! Fellowship is certain to blossom. After all, the neural and erogenous zones of the Planet are cut from the same cloth, don't you think?"
==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order===
====Event: Tokugawa's World-Changing Labyrinth====
==Abilities==
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to summon Kiara Sessyoin as a Servant, however, during the events of the Edo Singularity, Beast III/L’s stench causing the world to go astray allowed her to manifest as an Alter Ego. In this form she is considered a "fluke" that shoudn't exist, and her power is just a fragment of her true self. Although she doesn't quite seem to fit the mold, she could be considered an Anti-Hero, just like Shuten-douji. There is something inside her that is entirely separate from anything related to faith. Parvati claims that, depending on the situation, she may be forced to act quickly and decisively, as due to being a goddess, Parvati is able to pick up on Kiara's true nature and her connection to the Tokugawa Labyrinth.Fate/Grand Order - Tokugawa Restoration Labyrinth Act 1: Tokugawa's Invitation Out of all the servants that aided Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Ooku, Kiara was the only one that would have had any chance of defeating Kama/Mara.Fate/Grand Order - Tokugawa Restoration Labyrinth Act 10: Ooku, Part 1 Kiara claims that if she were to break her vow to exist only as a Servant of Chaldea and fight Kama as Beast III/R, she should be able to defeat Kama. Though she isn't sure if defeating her once would put an end to it.Fate/Grand Order - Tokugawa Restoration Labyrinth Act 7: God of Love
Despite not being a proper Heroic Spirit, Kiara still boasts a notable powerful Saint Graph. This reminds Mash Kyrielight of other Servants, like Assassin Emiya, who can’t operate in the open, and makes her wonder if Kiara was chosen by the Counter Force for a similar purpose. Albeit in a different way from Parvati, Kasuga-no-Tsubone claims that Kiara is quite the formidable figure. Although Kasuga knows a number of monks with Buddhist names like Kiara’s, she states that Kiara is on a completely different level from them, and she speculates that Kiara may be something of a monk guru. Having already met a goddess, Parvati, Kasuga says that she wouldn’t be surprised if Kiara turned out to be an avatar of the Buddha himself. Even in her wildest dreams, Kasuga never imagined that there was anyone in the world who could do the things Kiara can, who uses powers and combat techniques Kasuga has never seen before. This reminded her of a "shady" old monk by the name of Tenkai that was part of the shogun’s inner circle. Although he is famed for using some suspicious techniques himself, Kasuga never paid those rumors much attention because of how ridiculous they sounded. Seeing Kiara was her first time actually seeing evil dispelled with the power of the Buddha.Fate/Grand Order - Tokugawa Restoration Labyrinth Act 2: The Audience, Extra
===Skills===
====Class Skills====
*Authority of the Beast (D Rank): A skill that can surely be called Anti-Humanity. Due to changing from a Beast into an Alter Ego, the rank has dropped significantly. Benefits similar to those of a regular B-rank Independent Action are obtained.
*Independent Manifestation (E Rank): Self-sealed due to changing into the Alter Ego class. "Self-restraint" is how one could put it. Nonetheless, she possesses the "instant death resistance" and "charm resistance" that comes with Independent Manifestation. In particular, she is 300% resistant to the charm debuff. This skill makes her slightly different to the other Extra Class Servants, and it was thanks to it that she was able to ellude Kama’s reverse summoning during the events of the Edo Singularity. Due to not knowing Kiara's true nature and abilities, Sion Eltnam Sokaris assumed that she was able to accomplish such a feat due to possessing high ranked Independent Action, and she speculated that there must be a very powerful story behind Kiara.Fate/Grand Order - Tokugawa Restoration Labyrinth Act 0: Prologue
*Logos Eater (C Rank): The special trait of the Pleasure Deva. Provides a damage buff against any sentient being that possesses intelligence (pleasure), regardless of scale or structure. However, due to her current state as an Alter Ego, this skill also had its rank lowered. Currently, even that special trait is only comparable to touching. It's no different from foreplay. Since Beast III is the love for humanity, naturally, it loves humans. However, for Kiara, she, alone, is human. To Kiara, other people are nothing but toys used to satisfy herself, the human.
*Nega-Saver (A Rank): The fate of the beast who tried to bring salvation only to her own world, while possessing the qualifications to be a messiah (Saver). Every skill possessed by the Saver and Ruler class is nullified, targets with magic stat not exceeding A rank are charmed with a 300% probability and the effect of buffs cast by Kiara are increased by 200%. Although the scale of the existence of the Pleasure Deva that was born once on the moon is superior to Beast III/R, they say that she had no choice but to withdraw when faced with a messiah since she did not possess this skill.
====Personal Skills====
*Clairvoyance (Beast) (D→D++ Rank (Upgrade)): The rank of her Clairvoyance is low so she cannot see far without obstruction. Nevertheless, she can see through and reveal the desires and true nature of the humans before her eyes....That in itself would be the skill of a sage, but by revealing the animalistic and true nature of the other party, Kiara is aroused, gaining overwhelming joy from the procedure. Just like a poisonous snake licking her lips in front of her prey. In FGO, it drastically reduces a single target's debuff resistance and charges one's own Noble Phantasm gauge. Moreover, it's even capable of reducing their Arts resistance.
*Five Approaches to Meditation (A→A+ Rank (Upgrade)): Gojoshinkan. Health-care software developed by Sesshouin Kiara. With the cyber magic formula (Codecast) developed with the purpose of taking care of one's mental health, it measures the stagnation and disturbances of the spirit and then physically removes them to stabilize it. Originally created in order to produce a map of the patient’s spirit to help understand it. By nature, the tumor of the consciousness' depths (SG) is something meant to be slowly brought to the surface, but with the Thesis of the Still Heart it is possible to detect it and swiftly pluck it out. Although the SG is a secret, it is also a matter to be disclosed. Anybody would want to guard their secrets, but, at the same time, they would also want someone know about them. A heart that persists in guarding its secrets is "pitiful". Humans are creatures who want comfort. Because it's a secret they don't want anyone to know about, they have to confide in someone, be understood and ask for forgiveness. The Thesis of the Still Heart was created with the goal of granting the desire held in the depths of the heart, the true mutual understanding of the people...is what Kiara claims. In FGO, it reduces the NP gauge of every enemy and their defenses.
*Goddess Metamorphosis (EX Rank): A skill where one undergoes metamorphosis into a god. A treasure trove of powerful buffs. Similar to Tamamo no Mae (Swimsuit)'s Goddess Metamorphosis. However, this has no stun the following turn; it reduces her HP instead.
**Demonic Metamorphosis (B Rank): Upgrade from Goddess Metamorphosis in Fate/Grand Order.
*Human Order Ascension Ritual (A Rank): By absorbing Zepar and raising Demon God Pillars inside her body, Kiara turned into a person with supernatural powers that can control Demon God Pillars. The ones Kiara controls are not the "72 Demon God Pillars", but "Demon God Pillars who possess no name or personality". However, these numbers that one could call infinite, Kiara can control at will.
*Masochistic Constitution (— Rank): Passionlip's id_es. Converts 60% of physical and spiritual damage to one's own HP. This becomes an additional value. (Not used in FGO)
*Sadistic Constitution (— Rank): Meltryllis's id_es. Snatches away the opponent's buffs, making it one's own. (Not used in FGO)
*Bondage Preference (— Rank): Violet's id_es. The freezing of space. An enemy not possessing a Magic Resistance exceeding C rank, becomes stunned just from being in the surrounding space. (Not used in FGO) 
*Growth Desire (— Rank): Kingprotea's id_es. Infinite growth (no level cap). (Not used in FGO)
*Repulsion For One's Kin (— Rank): Kazuradrop's id_es. Predating on one's own species. (Not used in FGO)
===Noble Phantasm===
Kiara's Noble Phantasm is Amitābha Amidala - Heaven's Hole.
==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
Kiara Sessyoin was illustrated by Arco Wada in Fate/Grand Order.
===Comments from Illustrator===
:"Awright, Ms. Kiara~ let's make your final ascension amazing! And so -「a cross-section view of a woman pregnant with the Earth」 or 「a naked portable shrine in space」 or 「an ordinary wide leg-spread」- three amazingly rough concepts, where nothing is shown and nothing is worn, were assembled, but they were really, really, really, completely out of the question. I learned a lot from this. Ain't that right!!!! I drew her standing pose in the image of Buddhist pictures. Can I make the background a little more Mandala-like? Or would that be too much trouble??"
