Gareth

, Class Name , is a Lancer-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
==Profile==
===Identity===
Gareth was one of the thirteen Knights of the Round Table. She held the seventh seat. A young knight, historically regarded as male, whose older brothers are Gawain, Gaheris and Agravain.Fate/Grand Order - Camelot: The Sacred Round Table Realm, Chapter 17 She is one of the children born of and the Enchantress Morgan. This also makes Mordred, knight of treachery, her half-sister. Also known as Guerrehet or Beaumains (Beautiful Hands.)
Gareth was the newest addition to the round table, and a relatively inexperienced knight. She respected all her seniors, all the knights of the round table. She was especially attached to Sir Lancelot and often accompanied him. As an esquire, she underwent numerous trials, and after becoming a member of the Round Table, instead of aiding her eldest brother Gawain as Gaheris had before her, she chose a position similar to being Lancelot’s attendant. Gareth was well-loved as a person brimming with potential. She was highly praised not only by her siblings; the other knights would say, “She will be the greatest of knights someday,” and “She will one day become a true knight on par with her brothers”.
When Agravain hatched his plan to expose Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot of their infidelity, he approached Gareth to stand as a witness. “I will never speak anything against Sir Lancelot, who bestowed me my knighthood,” Gareth told him, and left in sorrow. The plan was sprung, and once Sir Lancelot was caught red-handed, the knight did retaliate, and Agravain ended up losing his life. Queen Guinevere was apprehended, and Gareth was ordered to stand witness at her execution. “Please understand I am not here of my own will,” Gareth flatly stated and attended unarmed and unarmored. This would be her downfall.
When Lancelot came to rescue the queen, he crushed Gareth’s unguarded, defenseless skull. A great many lost their lives in this series of events. Agravain, Gaheris, Gareth— what sorrow could Sir Gawain have felt upon losing his brothers? And thus, the Round Table did crack, and the glory of King Arthur and his knights would meet its end.
===Appearance===
===Personality===
Gareth highly reveres Lancelot. She seems to normally have a sunny, friendly disposition, and as a result she does not deal well with the stress of the slaughter performed under the Lion King during the Camelot singularity of Fate Grand Order, only wishing to be punished. She had "mummy-like bags" under her eyes after helping to defeat the knights who opposed the Lion King, and although she has "lily-white fingers that are more beautiful than anyone's", they become unrecognizably blackened from constant washing after combat.Camelot/Zero
Brave and faithful like a small puppy, a young knight of tragedy. Once she has grown attached to someone, she will never betray no matter what. Even if it means the death of her. She lives as she always has lived. Honoring chivalry, believing in justice and carrying it out. She is proud of the fact she was accepted by the Knight King, and even now she considers being selected as a member of the round table as the greatest honor of her life.
She still admires Sir Lancelot. The day everything ended. The day the knight moved to save Queen Guinevere. She would adore him even if her own form hadn’t so much as entered the knight’s eyes. She would adore him even if… he had known her, yet didn’t hesitate to kill her regardless.

==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order===
====Camelot/Zero====
During the "Camelot" Singularity, the Lion King, an alternate version of Artoria, summons Gareth along with all of the other knights with the exceptions of Bedivere and Galahad. She claims to require their service in order to perform the "Holy Selection" that will help counteract Solomon's destruction of the world. She gives the knights a half-day to ponder over serving her or going against her, Gareth fully believing that Lancelot will choose to serve the Lion King. She decides to serve along with Lancelot, Gawain, Mordred, Tristan, and Agravain, and they are inevitably forced to fight their remaining comrades who disagree with the Lion King and wish to slay her.
The knights serving under the Lion King emerge victorious, becoming the "Knights of the Lion King." The Lion King grants the knights "Gifts", Gareth's coming from a wish "avoid being defiled any further." Together, they march forward to fight the "False Crusaders" led by someone claiming to be Richard the Lionheart, although he is quite different than the real thing. Upon defeating the crusaders, only the "demonically strong" Servant calling himself "Richard" remains. Gawain believes that there is no way to defeat him without sacrifice. Gareth, whose heart had been shattered throughout their battles, killing her comrades, false knights, and the people of the Holy Land, charges forward, restraining "Richard" at the cost of skewering her own chest. Apologizing that she cannot bear with following that path they chose, she calls herself a fool and wishes to be punished. As the other knights hesitate, Agravain prepares himself, but Gawain ultimately slays "Richard" along with his sister.
====Summer Event: Servant Summer Festival!====
She’s briefly seen repulsed by a doujin depicting Sir Kay and King Pellinore as a couple... but quickly asks to buy a copy anyway.
====Avalon le Fae: Fae Round Table Domain====
This version of Gareth is from the English Lostbelt, and as such is a fairy. 
==Abilities==
Along with the other knights, Gareth is considered to be a first-class Servant. 
===Combat===
The lance that she wields is called the Gun Lance, which uses blue ether as the magazine load that Gareth carries by her waist. It has been granted multiple enhancements from Merlin, making it in a sense, a sort of Mystic Code. The lance does not shoot a beam, but rather explodes internally upon the target, and it does not carry a muzzle so Gareth feels the recoil upon impact. This is intended to help stop her momentum of her thrust. 
Even when teaming up with Mordred, Gareth is unable to defeat Percival in close range combat. Percival is able to repel their attacks thanks to using his spear and shield simultaneously.Fate/Grand Order - Percival's Interlude, O Knight, Don't Lose Your Way", Said the Holy Lance
It is implied that Bradamante defeated Gareth and Mandricardo simultaneously with Bouclier de Atlante.Fate/Grand Order - Bradamante's Interlude: Dear Ancestor!
===Skills===
====Class Skills====

*Riding (B Rank): An expert in jousting, Gareth possesses the riding skill that does not come naturally to Lancers.
====Personal Skills====
*Ring of Transformation (B Rank): Gareth possesses a ring imbued with the Magecraft of disguise. This would usually be treated as a Noble Phantasm, but in this work, it exhibits its effect as a skill.
*Battle Continuation (C Rank): Gareth possesses the Battle Continuation skill on account of her legend in which she fought a duel spanning two hours.
:*The Wolf Never Sleeps (B++ Rank): Upgrade from Battle Continuation. (Fate/Grand Order)
*Gareth Beaumains (B Rank): While working in the castle disguised as a kitchen boy, Sir Kay nicknamed her “Beaumains (Beautiful Hands)” for her fair and beautiful appearance. At the time, Kay did not realize that it was Gareth in disguise. In other words, Gareth had fair and lustrous skin, and her hands were especially beautiful.
===Noble Phantasm===
Gareth's Noble Phantasm is Ira Lupus. The sublimation of her skillful jousting techniques as a Noble Phantasm. After dealing a series of raging blows, she pierces her enemy with a lethal hit.
===Camelot Singularity===
====Gift====
Along with the other "Knights of the Lion King", Gareth received a "Gift" to aid her. Being granted , she wished to "avoid being defiled any further" after having slaughtered her comrades. The specifics of the Gift are unknown.
==Forms and Alternate Versions==
===Swimsuit===
Her megaphone seems to have been a gift from Osakabehime for her Swimsuit Saint Graph debut.
====Personality====
Her personality and mannerisms are basically the same as her Lancer version.
However, perhaps because she has stripped herself of her knightly robes, her balance as an apprentice tends to tip towards her more adventurous side, rather than her chivalrous one. Always preferring fun over her duty to protect her Sire.
Chaldea’s employees reported that she feels more like a very eager athletics club member who has come over to a sports expedition than anything else.
The skills that once bestowed her the alias of “Rampaging Wolf” under King Arthur’s command seem to be in good shape as well. Gareth is not the type to pick fights, but should the occasion arise to use her Saber-Exclusive Noble Phantasm, and she will wield her Demonic Sword with all her might.

Yet, she still worries that without a good sunscreen her beautiful albino skin might get sunburned by the sun rays (that being said, Servants fundamentally can't even get sunburn in the first place…)
*Robigus Ironside (C Rank): The Red Knight’s Demonic Sword – formerly the Noble Phantasm in possession of Sir Ironside, whom Gareth had once defeated, now sublimated into a skill.

==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
Gareth was designed by Nekotawawa in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Hikaru Sakurai in Fate/Grand Order.
===Comments from Illustrator===
"I received was to draw an “untrained squire”. She’s a hard worker who earnestly polishes cheap steel, turning it into shining armor. Her first and third ascensions have the themes kitchen/errand boy and Knight of the Round Table, respectively. The cartridges attached to her waist holder are based on grenades. I drew her final ascension with hopes that she, as a Heroic Spirit, could become [the player’s] partner in the story." (Nekotawawa)
