Tachie

, Class Name , is the Shielder-class Servant, imbued with Heroic Spirit , of Ernest Gravehill in the Fifth Fuyuki Holy Grail War of Fate/unpublished material. She is an unused heroine of Fate/stay night, originally only detailed in Fate/side material.
== Profile ==
=== Identity ===
Galahad was placed inside the resurrected body of a girl who died in the Fuyuki Fire at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War. Ernest Gravehill, a necromancer, performs this ritual to help reduce Magical Energy expenditure while summoning Galahad as his Servant.
=== Personality ===
Shielder initially displays no personality, being like a robot who follows her Master Ernest's instructions. The two personalities of Tachie and Galahad emerge as time progresses, and she becomes increasingly savage as she regains her identity. Tachie's personality switches randomly with Galahad's, making it seem as if she has a double persona. She holds a grudge against Shirou Emiya because she felt that he abandoned her when she called for help in the fire.
== Role ==
The plot outlined in Fate/unpublished material describes first an anime series similar to the Fate route but featuring Tachie and her Master as the seventh Servant instead of Assassin, and then a movie that would have an original route highlighting Tachie's backstory.
Ernest and Shielder would have made their first appearance when Shirou, Saber, and Rin Tohsaka first visited the Fuyuki church. They were already present at the church by the time Shirou, Rin, and Saber arrived. At some point Ernest would have dropped out of the Grail War, leaving Shielder as a Masterless Servant wandering Fuyuki.
In the anime series, Tachie would have died to Gilgamesh after he interrupted a battle between her and Saber. The movie would have ended with Tachie coming to terms with her death and Shirou's survival, and saving Shirou before disappearing.Fate/unpublished material

===Creation and Conception===
Known as the , Shielder was a heroine candidate during the development of Fate/stay night who was left unused in the final version. She was considered along with Rider and Caster to be a possible heroine, but she was cut due to the plot beginning to stray so as to keep it manageable for the player. As Saber is a "Servant of the Sword", she was to be her rival as a Shielder, "Servant of the Shield."Fate/Grand Order interview She would have been an "abandoned puppy" type heroine who killed her Master during the Fourth Holy Grail War and went on a rampage, surviving into the Fifth Holy Grail War in a similar manner to Gilgamesh.
Her scrapped role for the visual novel was originally only detailed in Fate/side material, but later it was planned that she would be a character in what was to be the original story of 's Fate/stay night adaptation. Her character design by Takashi Takeuchi was completed at that time, but the anime was later changed to an adaptation of the Fate route and the character was again abandoned. There was a plan for an anime original film featuring the character, but the storyline and designs went unused. Despite the scrapped plans, the mention of a Stray Servant is mentioned by Saber in Episode 17, just prior to Shirou and Saber heading out to Ryudou Temple.
The design was later revived for Grand Order in 2015 for Kinoko Nasu to allow her to be one of the main heroines along with Saber and Ruler, thus becoming Mash Kyrielight.
The notes from the anime original film were collected and revised in the Fate/unpublished material booklet released on the fifteenth anniversary of Fate/stay night in 2019.
