==Profile==
===Identity===
A real person, born 1805 and died 1875 due to liver cancer. Now he is remembered as one of the Three Great Fairy Tale Authors, but half his lifetime was full of frustration and agony.
Born as the son of a shoemaker, he desired to be an actor but gave up without showing any results. Afterwards, he set his eyes on being a poet but he was harshly evaluated. Finally, a book he published at his own expense began to sell and he used that money to leave the country. The book he wrote using his trip as his inspiration, the "" was finally recognized by the world. He was thirty by then.
Afterward, he switched to a writer of fairytale but his way of doing so was plainly after his more freely written works had been acknowledged, so it was a masochistic move on his part. As if to reflect that, his fairytale are full of elements of his own life: violence and misfortune, poverty, and finally a literary style that painted death as salvation. Using the form of a fairytale, he continued to paint a hopeless world where one could only grieve one's poverty and death was the only escape, all while masking all the emotions swirling his chest with those beautiful sentences.
And even after he become famous, he never had female companionship and spent his entire life a bachelor. According to one theory, he did have someone he had feelings for, but due to his pride and complex regarding his appearance, he missed the chance to confess his feelings numerous times.

At the age of 70, he died due to liver cancer. It seems that he died clutching a letter from his first love, which he would always carry around with him.
===Appearance===
Andersen appears to be a young boy around the age of 10 in formal clothing. Despite this, he has the voice of a man much older and his body is covered in scales, burns, frostbite and a myriad of other traits taken from his stories.
Though Heroic Spirits should be at the "golden age" depicted in their myths, he interprets it as his childhood being the time when he was most overflowing with sensitivity. He also gains the characteristic of sudden understanding, such as looking over materials of his former self and finding them so rambling to the point of embarrassment. Even a prodigy becomes a normal person once they're out of their twenties. He also theorizes the possibility that he was summoned at that age due to that evil woman's interests.Answer: About Andersen
===Personality===
Andersen is incredibly blunt, often pointing out people's flaws. Because of his high rank in observation, he understands their failings quite easily and points them out, but it is not because of malicious intent, merely understanding. He is not so much a bad person, as simply following his Master's directions. Although he hates his Master to the point to call her the crystallization of the ugliness that is women, he believes that a Servant is their Master's ally, even to the depths of hell.
He is not only blunt with everyone, but also with himself. He calls himself a man you could find anywhere, he says that he has no fighting ability and that basically he's useless, a third-rank Servant well-suited to his disgusting Master.
When he sees Hakuno Kishinami for the first time, he points what an amazingly ordinary face he/she has, pointing that's how a buffoon should be. He thinks that stupidity is called a sin, but as a member of the masses, to be tossed about by the world is good fortune. At any rate, one gets to enjoy both good and evil. That is called living a full life. To Andersen, we are all born from our mother's wombs simply to laugh at the ugliness of the world. One can't trust other people, and more specifically one can't trust women.
Andersen says that to say the truth is his job. Human lives have worth, every person is a leading actor, but those who produce a fine performance, who have the curtain fall on a masterpiece, are the small handful of victors.
He has an introverted, self-assured, and passive personality. As a dour, pessimistic poet, he has no intention of being liked by others, and as it no longer has any worth for him to discover, he lacks any intention of enjoying life. Andersen does not desire anything from the Holy Grail. The cause is probably that he didn't attain even one of the things he desired when he was alive.
"Let’s assume that life has value. That is probably something even lower than what people have delusions of."
And so he conducts himself as one who hates everything in the world.
"But, well, even if I hate the world, it’s not as if I detest it. If there is something worth loving, it would be fine to once again light the firewood in the fireplace of frozen affection."
He is truly a bothersome man.
Though Andersen always criticizes Kiara, he is not Hakuno's ally either. That is just the manifestation of the impartiality that distinctive to him. As Andersen is methodical like an author, being helpful is his true nature. First of all, if one does not think to entertain the readers, to serve the readers, then one is not fit to be a writer.
He has a dark nature and is a pessimistic poet who has no desire to be liked by others. Furthermore he is no longer able to see any remaining value in himself, and completely lacks the notion that he should enjoy, or is able to enjoy his life. But he will not laugh at the efforts of people who decide "let's live correctly" and "let's achieve this all our power." Because that is what he once dreamed of, the form of a society that wished to be like that. Although he was summoned as a Servant, he has no wish or desire. This is probably because while he was alive he was unable to obtain anything he wanted.
The reason Andersen advises Hakuno who was trying to resolve the incident, even while telling them, "Your actions are futile. Just leave those girls alone," in a flabbergasted manner, and never delivered definite repudiation against Kiara who was causing the situation to deteriorate, even while cursing her by saying, "Greedy, impudent, and on top of that, a liar! Only the demon in a fairy tale could be as unsightly as you!", is because both Hakuno and Kiara were earnestly "living their lives with everything they had."
In the end.
"A final light (sentence) for that unrewarded life."
That is this Servant's foundation.
Andersen who, though he was a world-famous author, did not attain even one of the things he desired. The writer of fairy tales who, while speaking of love, never once attained it. To him, a story about "a life where one struggles then disappears without being compensated" is what should be told. Humans who become happy easily are the same as scenery to him. They can just be happy of their own accord.
"I want to give a final light to the lives of people who were abandoned by even God," is the nucleus of Andersen's soul. If someone come to a stop on the final path and then turns around, he should be able to see a fragment of this Servant's truth.
====Analysis====
====Relationships====
;Kiara Sessyoin (Alter Ego)
:"...I have a bad presentiment... You all are still fine, but don't tell me we're going to have even "that" come. "That"."
:"The woman who swallowed the moon... She's the most despicable woman, but she's a perfect subject for me to write about. However, her story is not something that the me in Chaldea should write. It should just be between the me who was in that special case and the woman herself."
;Kiara Sessyoin (MoonCancer)
:"I have absolutely nothing to do with that woman, but I'm tempted to throw some money at her at this point! And what the heck's with her being a magical girl!? Hahaha! Even if that's her character deep down, it's still too much!"
;BB／BB Cosmos
:"There seems to be an artificial demon calling herself BB. I apparently have a certain amount of history with her... A butterfly that burned the moon... But that's probably the story of a different me, who was summoned to a different place..."
;Passionlip / Meltryllis
:"There are other Alter Egos who derived from BB? I would say that you need to put a cap on all those eccentrics, but I understand your desire to rein them all in to some extent. They're all interesting in their own way. Young one...go ahead and have a few fetishes."
;Kingprotea
:"Kingprotea? Oh, you mean that eyesore of a girl who I yell at all the time because she irritates me? What about it? Is that so strange? I actually can't explain it either. Maybe it's this feeling of responsibility I somehow have? Or maybe she and I had some sort of history before... Do you know anything about it?"
;Hakuno Kishinami／Hakuno Kishinami (Male)／Hakuno Kishinami (Female)
;William Shakespeare
:"Well, well if it isn't the great theater master with the turbulent career. Has anyone told you your life is much more dramatic than any of your plays?"Fate/Grand Order Lines
:Author connection. A relationship around the extent of just-because-they're-in-the-same-circle-does-not-mean-they-are-best-friends-in-particular-but-there-is-no-other-friend-so-they-hang-out-together. Still, he frequently looks for Shakespeare's study. He will never ever say it, but his respect to Shakespeare is obvious for anyone to see.
;Nursery Rhyme
:"Tommy Thumb. A collection of nursery rhymes, huh? They are gems when you first meet, but over time they are forgotten. Holes start to form in adults' pockets. But it's not meaningless. They may not be worth a penny, but they still have some value to you. Isn't that what childhood memories are?"
;Beni-enma
:"The Tongue-Cut Sparrow? What's that? Let me read it. Ha! Plotlines are all the same no matter where a story comes from! But then again the stories of the workaholic sparrow in an inn and the crane who returns a favor are nice. The inn is like the profession of writing... requiring a diligent spirit to work. And any editors who dare peek in to check the author's progress while he writes lose everything! Keep that in mind!"
;Murasaki Shikibu / Sei Shounagon
:"So now writers from the Heian period can be summoned... This place is getting desperate, I see! Not bad! And...heh. So it was "Kaoru" and "Nagiko" who came. I'm surprised that they were friends who pushed each other for inspiration. I'm a bit envious of them for have writing companions close by.
;Katsushika Hokusai
:"Hey, Katsushika Hokusai...or is it Oei? You know that spirited, beautiful woman who wouldn't be much of a subject to draw, but attractive enough to be a subject in writing? ...Would you be able to set us up to be alone one day? I'd like to meet Kyokutei Bakin."
;Oberon Vortigern
:"To take something that was once simple and embellish it so that it is recognized as something different ――that is the very definition of "Innocent Monster." William Shakespeare, the fairy tale you spoke of has grown up to be an even worse monster than you. But I can't even laugh, because the hollow space that man harbors is something that every human possesses."
;Melusine / Baobhan Sith /Barghest
:"Baobhan Sith, Barghest, Melusine... I heard about combining Heroic Spirits to make High Servants, but I never imagined Heroic Spirit names would have been given to faeries. Adding something violent to something so tragic...even a starving fairy-tale writer wouldn't think of such thing."
;Alexandre Dumas
:"Arrrgh! Vexing, yet interesting! But I'll never approve of this sort of pleasure for the sake of pleasure! (while grasping tightly the newspaper and goes all like "go read the sequel for the Count of Monte Cristo!")"Fate/Grand Order material I Hans Christian Andersen's Profile, translated by Beast's Lair User castor212.

===Fate/Grand Order===
====GUDAGUDA Honnouji====
Andersen appears under the name Takenake Andersen. Toyotomi Gilyoshi orders him and Kuroda Mephisto to give him a plan when Ritsuka and Mash’s desire to fight him angers him. Takenake says he doesn’t have a plan and complains that the world setting is low and doesn’t make any sense. After the three are defeated, he reveals he played along because he liked his given name. He is glad though that doesn’t have to hear Toyotomi’s laughter anymore. He also calls the Japanese setting bad for him since he may run into a crazy nun. He then to tells the group to do these types of events sparingly before finally disappearing.
====Fourth Singularity: London====
Andersen is a Servant that materialized from the Demonic Fog. He works with Henry Jekyll as an informant to remove the fog. Ritsuka, Mash, and Mordred meet in a bookshop while searching for the Magical Tome in Soho. He informs them that the Tome is in the study next door. Deciding it to be too dangerous to fight indoors, the group lure it outside. Their attacks are useless when Andersen reveals it’s a Stray Servant placing people into a dream in search of a Master whose psyche it can take form from. He names it Nursery Rhyme, turning it into a girl named Alice. After defeating her, the group return to Jekyll’s apartment now joined by Andersen.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 4: One Book, One Pen
When Jekyll informs the group that Jack the Ripper is attacking Scotland Yard, Mordred asks Andersen if he can make Jack easier to defeat like he did with Nursery Rhyme. Andersen replies Nursery Rhyme was an exception, so Mordred leaves annoyed with him.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 5: Helter Skelter 
He is pleased to see them return, having heard about the massacre at the police station. He tells them to rest, noticing done so in some time. He then reveals that Servants are materializing from the fog. Since Servant can’t be summoned without the Grail’s influence, he suspects the Grail created the fog. After Ritsuka, Mash, and Mordred leave, Jekyll thanks him for manipulating them into going on patrol since they were under a lot of strain.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 6: London Night
Later, Andersen requests the others retrieve data from the Clock Tower to prove his theory about the Holy Grail War. Mordred and Jekyll however reveal its entrance, the British Museum, was destroyed before Chaldea arrived. Nonetheless, the group head there joined by Andersen, William Shakespeare, and Jekyll.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 7: One More Mystery
Arriving at the Museum, the group digs through its rubble to find the underground entrance to the Clock Tower. They find it and head down to find the mages were killed. They soon come across a warded library door, so Andersen and Jekyll investigate inside while the others guard the door. The spells on the books prevent them from leaving with them, so the others must defend them until Andersen gets the information he’s after. Andersen eventually finds the data he was after, so the group return to the apartment.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 8: The Death of the Mage's Association
Back at the apartment, Andersen reveals the Servant Summoning Ritual was adapted from one that summons seven of the strongest Heroic Spirits to fight a powerful enemy. He suspects that someone predicted the group’s coming and placed the information about the ritual for them to find. He doesn't think it was a mage, and he doesn't why a Servant would do it. Suddenly, the apartment is attacked by a group of Helter Skelters. Though they won't break in, Andersen finds them a nuisance, and demands the group dismantle them.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 9: Opportunity
Andersen and Shakespeare later go to the chamber of Angrboda, the source of the fog, after Ritsuka, Mash, Mordred defeated Nikola Tesla and Artoria Alter, with Sakata Kintoki and Tamamo no Mae helping with the former. He disagrees with Shakespeare’s assessment of Mordred’s character as someone who kills any who pity her. He explains she is easily taken in by a certain type of person, such as Frankenstein. He seems to recognize Tamamo and demands Mordred slay to her before Shakespeare. However, a mysterious figure appears from a Rayshift-like distortion. Andersen agrees with Shakespeare that they need to flee, haven’t expected the mastermind to reveal themselves at this stage. The figure expresses disappointment in Gilles de Rais, Romulus, Jason, and Tesla for their failures. He then reveals he is the mastermind behind the Incineration of Humanity, Solomon. He reveals the ring of light seen in the skies of the Singularities is his third Noble Phantasm, Ars Almadel Salomonis. Out of his interest in Mash, he summons only four of the Demon Gods and attacks the group. The group kills one of the Demon Gods, however, Solomon kills Shakespeare, Kintoki, and Tamamo. Mash implores Romani to rayshift them home, but Solomon’s presence makes that impossible. Solomon declares he outranks all Servants, regardless of their ranks as Heroic Spirits. He then tries to kill Mordred, but Andersen blocks his attack. Andersen explains the original Heroic Spirit summoning system created by the Counter Force summons them as Grand Servants to protect humanity from a threat born from humanity. Solomon confirms the system used in the Holy Grail War is a degradation of the original. He then declares he is the Grand Caster and kills Andersen.Fate/Grand Order - London: The Death World in the City of Demonic Fog, Section 13: Beyond the Fog 
====Final Singularity: Solomon====
Andersen is amongst the "London" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillars.Fate/Grand Order - Salomon: The Grand Time Temple - Act 05: IV / Control Tower Barbatos
====Subspecies Singularity I: Shinjuku====
Andersen hides out in an abandoned waiting for the moment he's needed. That moment comes when he joins Jeanne Alter, Edmond Dantès, and William Shakespeare to confront James Moriarty in Barrel Tower. The writers then combine Märchen Meines Lebens and First Folio to summon the Great Detectives. After Moriarty's defeat and the meteor Bennu's destruction, Andersen and Shakespeare soon disappear together.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Shinjuku: Malignant Quarantined Demonic Realm, Chapter 18: Great Detective's Great Deduction
==== Subspecies Singularity EX: SE.RA.PH -Second Ballet-: Cage of the Fallen ====
Andersen makes a small appearance as "H.C.A": an electronic Fairy summoned by BB, who monitors the Cage of the Fallen, Klein Cube which contains the Alter Ego and member of the Sakura Five, Kingprotea. Ritsuka meets him after they accidentally wandered into this area. He explains to Ritsuka that the Klein Cube is located in a sort of failed timeline, a pocket of nonexistent space separate from SE.RA.PH that is used to dispose of unwanted objects. He explains that it was part of Her meticulous recreation of the original SE.RA.PH and mocks her intelligence as well as her looks because of this act of recklessness. Then he moves on to insulting Ritsuka's intelligence as well, as their recklessness to enter this domain caused Kingprotea to detect their presence and create a strong gravitational field from both her size and strong feelings of yearning, which could spell complete annihilation to them and everyone else in SE.RA.PH. Understanding the graveness of this situation, Ritsuka and H.C.A. team up to defeat Kingprotea in order to save SE.RA.PH. Right before they could start, Ritsuka asks why he's here specifically, to which H.C.A. sarcastically replies that She blocked him from manifesting in SE.RA.PH in order to prevent him from finding any secrets she's trying to keep hidden.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - SE.RA.PH -Second Ballet-, [High Difficulty] Cage of the Fallen (1/10)
Once they made it to the bottom of the cage, H.C.A. tells Ritsuka of the origin of Kingprotea, explaining exactly what makes her a threat to everyone. Then they finally meet her, H.C.A. exclaims to attack her everything they have to take her down, as Kingprotea recognizes Ritsuka as the one who found her, proclaiming her love for them and asking for theirs in return. After a hard fought battle, she ultimately finds solace that Ritsuka was not afraid of her and was able to be stronger than her too. Ritsuka is overcome with the feelings of regret, asking H.C.A. if they really did the right thing. H.C.A. explains that in the digital world; her love was like a hunger that could never be satisfied no matter how much she was fed, but were she to be summoned by a "certain Master with freakishly weird taste" in the physical world, perhaps she could be saved and find a chance in love. In the end, Ritsuka and H.C.A. head their separate ways. Ritsuka offers H.C.A. to join them, but he declines saying that he'd rather not join Ritsuka and cause an anti-climax in the story with his presence and start an endless bout between him and that "cow". Giving his best wishes, H.C.A. cheers for Ritsuka's victory against Her.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - SE.RA.PH -Second Ballet-, [Ultra High Difficulty] Cage of the Fallen (10/10)
==== Subspecies Singularity IV: Salem ====
When Leonardo da Vinci learned the Singularity's interior was a recreation of 17th century Salem, she asked Shakespeare and Andersen to write a scenario for infiltrating it. The scenario they wrote was for Ritsuka's party to a troupe of traveling performers. Da Vinci chose Robin Hood, Charles-Henri Sanson, Nezha, and Medea (she refused) to accompany Ritsuka for this scenario, taking Shakespeare's opinion into account.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Salem: The Forbidden Advent Garden, Prologue
After Da Vinci reveals a medieval automaton returned from the Singularity, Andersen is annoyed she didn’t lead with that instead of the failed attempts of the U.S. Army. He then complains that he’s exhausted from writing a manuscript on such brief notice. He tells Thomas Edison that he can’t join the expedition into Salem after the former said he’d go in first. Shakespeare then explains he and Anderson the scenario they wrote. Andersen complains it was frustrating to devise a scenario for amateurs, yet he is proud of the script. He dismisses Edison’s concern about sending Medea into Salem, though he is surprised she changed her mind about joining the expedition. Later, when Mash demands to accompany Ritsuka, Andersen is impressed that she memorized the script, and asks Shakespeare if his script needs support. Shakespeare replies that Mash can be the troupe’s prompter. After Ritsuka’s party rayshift to Salem, Andersen dismisses Da Vinci’s concern that Mash is a little young to experience humanity’s dark side, pointing out Ritsuka and Mash have seen nearly every side of humanity by now. He calls the notion of a traveling troupe into a puritan village to have been insane from the beginning. He is then shocked to see that Medea didn’t actually accompany the others.
====Summer Event: Servant Summer Camp 2020/2022====
Summoned within this singularity, a now older looking Andersen finds himself meeting the young "Kiara Sessyoin Lily". Deciding to give himself the role of "Parental Guardian" to her, Andersen settled on a haunted and abandoned apartment complex within the Singularity for peace and isolation. There, he was taken care of by Kiara with various conveniences and amenities in exchange for writing "The Little Mermaid 2". Eventually meeting up with "Ritsuka Fujimaru" and their allies, Andersen gives advice for them to survive the singularity, before brushing them off in order to procrastinate more until the day of his work's deadline.Fate/Grand Order - Servant Summer Camp! ~Chaldea's Thriller Night~, Section 3: Ghost Apartment (1/2)
Uncovering the true identity of Kiara Sessyoin Lily but unable to defeat her, the real Ritsuka and their allies retreat to Andersen's apartment for information on Kiara's strengths and weaknesses. After being caught up on the group's story and predicament, he reveals that he knows nothing of her besides her false name "Lily" and her request for a sequel to The Little Mermaid. Initially refusing to aid them, he changes his mind after listening to their entertaining story. Together they deduce Kiara's powers of illusions and how to counteract them. However, he refuses to assist in finding the true name of Kiara's source of power, convinced that they could figure it out themselves. Presumably proving him right, Yu Mei-ren deduces Kiara's True Name and devises a plan to beat her. Her plan being them using Andersen as proof that Kiara is in love with him and wanted to recreate the story of , much to everyone's confusion and Kiara's ire. Transforming into her "invincible" form, Andersen grows impatient and reveals the True Name of Kiara's new power: Shen, the Divine Beast of the sea floor. He continues and reveals that Kiara ate it's corpse as well as a Mermaid in order to achieve her new form. After this revelation, Andersen retreats to his apartment to work on his manuscript, unwilling to tell Kiara how much progress he has made since they last saw each other.Fate/Grand Order - Servant Summer Camp! ~Chaldea's Thriller Night~, Section 9: Secret Little Mermaid
After the singularity was solved, everyone begins celebrating in Chaldea's Mess Hall. Chaldea's child-form Andersen and William Shakespeare, congratulate an embarrassed Murasaki Shikibu for her work in solving the situation. Meanwhile, Kiara returns to her room in Chaldea, eager to read the completed manuscript of "The Little Mermaid 2" that the singularity's Andersen gave to her before he ultimately disappeared with it. Murasaki talks to Anderson about the Young Adult version they met in the singularity, but suddenly, a question brews within her mind and she asks whether Andersen could write a book with the suitable arrangements Kiara made for him. To which Andersen scoffs, explaining that he could never get any work done in such an hospitable environment, unknowingly being verbally cursed by Kiara down the hall after she opened the book and only found blank pages and a loose note that read: “Sorry. I just couldn't write it.”Fate/Grand Order - Servant Summer Camp! ~Chaldea's Thriller Night~, Final Section: Sequel to the Aftermath of Sadness and Joy
====Interlude====
=====Human Observation=====
Andersen demands Ritsuka give him inspiration for a new story. With Mash, the two travel to France. Andersen is inspired to write when ghosts of soldiers from Hundred Years War manifested by the Grail’s power approach. After destroying the ghosts, the group head for Rome at Andersen’s demand. There he throws a mud-ball at a passing soldier and mocks Roman soldiers as being absent-minded. This triggers a fight between the group and the soldiers. Afterwards, they board a pirate ship, where they’re immediately surrounded by its crew. After defeating the pirates, they return to Chaldea. Andersen explains his reasoning for visiting different eras was to observe its people, the weapons they used, and how they fought. He states even primitive combat reflects human thought. He considers the differences between each era to be a great reference. After his proclaiming disinterest in mankind, he considers writing a book about Ritsuka and Mash.
==Abilities==
Andersen has the form of a young boy for an unknown reason, and as he was summoned that way, not even he knows for sure. He's one of the , , and Andersen. While he is one of them, he is the only one who produced his own literary works as the others are editors and collectors who compiled folklore and legends, he was the only one who created new stories, so an author in the truest sense of the word. Among his masterpieces are "," "," "," "," "," as well as others. It's still said that the model for the "girl" in “The Little Match Girl,” was Andersen’s poor mother who worked tirelessly so that her son could be educated and left the world without once enjoying it.
During the events in the Shinjuku Singularity, it is shown that Andersen is capable of fabricating Phantoms.Fate/Grand Order - Shinjuku Phantom Spirit Incident: Malignant Quarantined Demonic Realm
Differing from other Servants, he is a non-combatant that never directly engages in battle. He lacks fighting ability and even calls himself useless in that regard. He takes the role normally reserved for the Master after Kiara's transformation, providing healing magecraft and utilizing his Noble Phantasm to support her. In Fate/Grand Order, he summons central aspects from , , , , , and to fight.
===Skills ===
====Class Skills====
*Territory Creation (D Rank): Creation of a territory that is advantageous to himself as a magus. In Andersen's case, it is not a type of territory created for intercepting incoming enemies, but one that bewilders even the eyes of the foolish enemy Master. In the Study he created in a place no one can found, he skips out wo-, no, continuously moves his brush. A certain Master had had her patience run out with this style of overtruanc-, no, procrastination; she then made a small box, locked him inside, and make him write as fast as he can. 
*Item Construction (C Rank): The ability to create various tools by means of magic. Although he does not know of any magic, it seems like he can more or less write up things by his literary works that put his Noble Phantasm to practical use.
====Personal Skills====
* Human Observation (A→A++ Rank (Upgrade)): Andersen has the ability to observe and understand human beings with his personal skill. This is the ability to observe and understand human beings and it's not just limited to observing people, as he can even hypothesize the livelihoods, likes and lifestyle of people whose names he doesn't know. For this skill, something resembling eidetic memory is required. While Andersen is a pessimist, the basis of that pessimism is not rejection but understanding. The only thing he can do is spin stories, but it's for that specific reason that he has continued to swear that he would approach reciting those stories with more sincerity than anyone else. 
*Innocent Monster (D Rank): He is currently being corroded by his own stories, suffering damage from the gossip of his admiring readers due to this skill. In Andersen's case, it is . Having become too famous as a writer of fairy tales, Andersen's original personality is being painted over by the image of a writer of fairy tales. The readers decided "The person wrote this is like this, no doubt." whenever he wrote a book, so he is personally affected as such. His legs are covered in merman scales from , his arms are covered in burn scars from and his throat is sliced with intense pain. He says his "heart is a demon who loves bad ends", and that is the price of fame from the readers grasping the true essence of it. Their view of the person depends on their own opinions.
:*The Little Mermaid's Love (EX Rank): Upgrade from Innocent Monster in Fate/Grand Order.
*High-Speed Incantation (E Rank): The ability to hasten magic incantation speed. It seems like in his case, instead of magic it benefits the progress of writing his manuscript.
===Noble Phantasm===
His Noble Phantasm is Märchen Meines Lebens, the German title of Andersen's book "The Fairy Tale of My Life", originally titled "Mit Livs Eventyr" in Danish. The book is an unpolished manuscript of Andersen's autobiography, he calls it "the supreme commentary of all my works," the compilation that is the record of his way of life, his other self. With this, it is possible to grow someone from a "human being" to a "main character." With a few pages written only a few coincidences will occur but with the work completed said human being will grow into their ideal self. This way was how his Master, Sessyoin Kiara was able to become an earth mother reaching a state close to that of a True Demon. While said like this it would seem an omnipotent Noble Phantasm, the gloomy personality of Andersen and his pride as an author will not allow someone to reach their "ideal self" so easily. Also, it is needed to be someone that incites considerable lust in Andersen to this to work.

Similar to how the various Lancers are related to vampires, the team wanted to link Caster to nursery rhymes and make him a märchen-like character. Eventually the team settled on the current “who would think there could be such a hateful fairy” version of him.
Hans Christian Andersen was illustrated by Arco Wada in Fate/Grand Order. His scenario writer is Kinoko Nasu in Fate/Grand Order.

"The glasses with super long sleeve is here! But I regret a bit that as expected, maybe the white robe looks too simple. Each time I put Andersen in the party I'm like hmm isn't there any other clothes that would fit him better? Even now I'm still thinking about it. Something with overly long sleeve... padded kimono... pijamas..." (Arco Wada)
