Caster (Fate/Crossover - Blair)

**Caster** (キャスター, *Kyasutā*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

"*I never said I was a witch did I? You just made that assumption all on your own. I'm really just a cat with a ridiculous amount of magical power.*" - Blair

## Profile

### Identity

Caster's true identity is **Blair**, a monster cat who was once mistaken for a genuine witch by Maka Albarn and Soul Eater. She later would take residence at Maka and Soul's Apartment due to them destroying her house and works as an employee at Chupa♡Cabra's. She also occasionally works alongside the DWMA, Maka, and Soul on their various quests.

### Appearance

#### Human Form

In human form, she takes on the appearance of a young, tall woman with very large breasts and an alluring figure. She has short violet hair with long strands on each side of her face that curl up and around to resemble her tail. The bauble she wears in her cat form can be seen below her neck. She has a set of purple cat-like ears with pink tips instead of human ears, which are initially hidden by her hat. Her black witch's hat coils around at the end and retains her bright yellow cat eyes. She also has a curled up purple cat tail that resembles her cat form one. Her lips are curled like the shape of a "3" to represent those of a cat. She also has two little sharp fangs in her mouth in human form like a cat's. She dresses in many types of revealing clothing such as tank tops and bikinis, but her signature witch outfit consists of a black-blue dress that shows off her shoulders and wraps around her neck, long, open sleeves that reveal her hands and shoulders, a short skirt with a white frill and long high-heeled boots that curl upwards at the toes. When fighting against Mizune's human form, she keeps her hat and boots but switches her dress for a black-blue bikini top under a similar-colored coat with a fur collar, and matching shorts. The coat's bottom hem is notably short, ending just below her breasts, exposing her stomach and lower back.

#### Cat Form

In cat form, she is a purple cat with large yellow eyes, ears with pale bushy tips and a long curly tail. She wears a smaller version of her witch's hat and a collar with a round bauble that has three triangles etched into it to resemble a jack-o-lantern's face.

### Personality

Blair is very good at understanding other people and even showing kindness to others who are troubled. She is always looking for some fun, whether it is harmless or not. Playful and fun-loving, she is quite an affable person. Blair has exhibitionist qualities and usually has a very sexually-focused mind, as she enjoys exposing her naked body in the presence of both males and females to see their reactions, and often makes very sexual comments while doing so. This is exemplified by when she pulls down her towel in front of Soul and Maka's guests and asks if anyone wants to bathe with her. Her exhibitionism and seductiveness goes even further when she tries to seduce Soul, which she enjoys doing very often. She usually uses her sizeable breasts to her advantage, doing things such as appearing out of her cat form in front of Soul wearing little to no clothing and squeezing her naked or barely clothed breasts against his face. In addition to exhibitionism, her preference for being naked is likely at least partially due to the fact that she is always naked in her cat form. Blair's clothing preferences always tend to show off as much of her body as possible; her more casual outfits often only consist of a bikini or underwear. Blair is often seen taking bubble baths, which is ironic because of the stereotype that cats dislike baths. However, she is always in human form when she bathes.

## Abilities

Blair's capabilities allowed her to hold her own and defeat Maka Albarn and Soul Eater on several occasions, forcing the aforementioned weapon to employ deception in order to defeat her. Despite her great fighting power, however, Death speculated that either a single Shinigami Chop or a single scythe swipe from Death Scythe could defeat her. In her cat form, she was able to physical overwhelm the Mizune sisters individually.

Her fighting power is stated to be very high, and Blair's health points and base attack power surpasses that of Killbell and potentially can surpass that of Nars Garnier and Alone.

According to Blair, she is a cat with immense magical power and as such, is capable of several abilities unusual for a cat capable enough to mistake her for a genuine Witch. Even in her cat form, Blair possesses extraordinary strength enough to kick a Mizune sibling away at an incredible height. Of Blair's own admission, she has kept herself in top physical shape in case she gets into an altercation. This has allowed her to battle the likes of the Mizune Family without being damaged by any of their Beam Whiskers while performing incredible feats such as somersaults.
'
Blair was fast enough to not only dodge Maka's scythe attack at the last minute, but to the point where Maka lost track of her movement in the moment she swung her scythe at her during their battle.

As a Monster Cat, Blair possess a high amount of magical power in which can enable various of magical-related feats, with her offensive powers great enough to contend with EAT Class-level student like that of Maka Albarn and genuine Witches such as the Mizune Family. One of her skills in using magic includes an unnamed magic that allows her to levitate objects to perform tasks such as cooking.

While in her cat form, Blair has displayed great proficiency in unarmed combat during her battle with the Mizune Family. She was able to easily damage one Mizune sister with only the use of her hand-to-hand combat skills.

Blair can perform magic in which can allow her to change the size of objects at will by pointing her finger at the desired object after chanting her mantra and shrinking it in size as a result. Blair can use her magic to summon her outfit while naked in order to instantly get herself dressed.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Item Creation (C- Rank): Caster was not known for creating items, nor even using magical items in general. However, she still created her home out of magic, as well as enchanting things like brushes to clean her with only some instruction. She can only make items that are small, and their effects are limited in what they can do. The bigger the object she creates, the more likely it will fail spectacularly, typically in a great explosion that looks or smells like pumpkin. So... It might be a good idea to not use anything she creates.

* Territory Creation (E+ Rank): She has never created a territory, nor properly maintained it. Even her home only had herself as a defense, no wards or bounded fields.

However, she can 'create' a 'territory' through usage of her other skills, if only in the sense that she can endear people into doing what she wants. Making that area her "turf", so to speak.
It is still lacking in any other qualities to identify it as a territory.

#### Personal Skills

* Blair's Magic (A Rank): A specific type of magic that belongs solely to Caster. And is the main go-to in any battle she may engage in.

That magic primarily takes the form of pumpkins of all magnitudes. Whether literal pumpkins, projectiles shaped like pumpkins, or even an attack loosely based off of pumpkins, pumpkins are the center of Caster's type of magic.
But, beyond that magic, she has... nothing else. That is not to say she can ONLY make pumpkins; she is capable of changing the shape of items and even instantly changing her own wardrobe. But, when it comes to attacks, all of them are vaguely based around the idea of Halloween. Even if it may be quite destructive if used right, a Caster should not be fighting on the frontlines in the first place. Especially against other servants who may have magic resistance, that would render her attacks near useless.

Yet... Caster will fight them anyways, even if it would surely lead to her demise.

* Discernment of the Distracted (C++ Rank): A skill that acts as a strange deviation from 'Discernment of the Poor', which would typically allow one to grasp the true nature of their target even if they attempt to conceal it and to see past any lies directed at the user.

This skill does not allow that, in fact, it cannot even see any through lies directed at Caster. What it can do, however, is to completely reveal the history and abilities of a servant, down to the most minute detail... only if they are distracted by Caster, in the most primitive sense. If that condition is met, Caster is instantly given knowledge of who the target is and what they are capable of, making it an incredible information gathering tool if the servant in question is someone known to be controlled by their desires. The obvious downside is that a servant who doesn't care for such matters simply won't trigger the skill, no matter Caster's attempts. However, the most likely scenario is Caster keeping that information to herself, and never actually telling her master that she had come into contact with another servant. "It would ruin the fun she would have if she revealed all that, so why bother?" is what she will always respond if asked about it.

* Femme Fatale (True) (B+ (D-) Rank): A skill derived from her 'ability' to naturally enter the vicinity of a target and for them to reveal sensitive information through various means. Allowing for even the most stubborn and tight-lipped individuals to spill their guts about their plans or dreams. In that sense, it is a perfect information gathering tool as long as it's user doesn't reveal their true nature. As even mages are likely to fall under the skills influence. As the saying goes, loose lips sink ships, and in the face of a skill like this, such a thing is quite likely. It acts as a charm that can 'bypass defenses against it', simply due to the fact there is technically no magical component in this skill. It is simply a 'natural talent' at seduction. Unlike others that may possess a skill related to this, however... Caster never uses it for its intended purpose. Indeed, she only uses it to get free food or to mess with some unfortunate soul, rather than attempting to gather important information that could turn the tide of the war. Even if demanded by her master, Caster would more likely half-ass it and be discovered despite her natural talent at the act. As a result, the only effect of the skill is more so just D ranked. If only she used it properly...

* Evaporation of Reason (C Rank): A skill that denotes that one's reasoning dissipates, rendering you unable to keep secrets.

For Caster, this skill manifests in a separate manner. Rather than being unable to keep a secret, she has moments where she is unable to focus on the 'bigger picture' as it were. In life, it came down to her simply not caring much about the escape of the greatest evil, even with that escape happening a mere hundred or so meters away. And even when she got personally involved, she still refused to take it seriously. In a grail war, she will occasionally refuse to do as her master orders, instead favoring to wander the city for no other reason than "She wanted to explore". Another extension of this, that surprisingly works well with her previous skills, is her tendency to... 'tease' her master or others she gains interest in through almost exclusive display of her body. Which, in most cases, would create an opportunity to gain valuable information if she was to target a master or their servant... Unfortunately, she would much rather scam a shop owner to get free fish than to use her skill to win a war. The one benefit such a skill brings, fortunately, is that it gives Caster a sort of pseudo-Instinct. Allowing her to anticipate and dodge attacks even if she didn't properly notice them at first.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Pumpkin Cannon: "Halloween Cannon"**

Perhaps Blair's most powerful, offensive attack. The spell is a magical projectile used as an offensive attack that upon contact explodes. The user fires a magical pumpkin from one of her hands that results in an incredibly destructive blast upon contact with the opponent. This spell also has a linear blast version which can be fired. It has incredible destructive power upon contact and is capable of downing Maka Albarn in one-hit during their first battle. There's a linear version of the blast in which can be fired from Blair even in her cat form powerful enough to push back the Flying Dutchman with ease.

#### **Zukun: "Loyal Magic Hat of the Cat"**

A Magical Lifeform (Phantasmal Beast) that Caster has tamed. It takes the form of her signature witch's hat and can freely shapeshift itself in accordance with Caster's orders. It is utterly and completely loyal to Caster and doesn't require sustenance like most others of its kind. Despite its rather unimpressive appearance, it is actually rather strong, capable of wrenching weapons out of people's grips and throwing people great distances when it takes the form of a hand. It can also stretch great distances at great speeds, wrapping around a skilled opponent in moments and disarming them before they could react. Due to its nature as a magical lifeform, it can survive and come back from most manner of punishment as long as Caster is still alive. However, the downside is rather simple, but still unfortunate. Zukun is still made of cloth like the hat it takes the form of. Meaning most attacks, especially of a fire-like nature, can easily render it destroyed. Of course, it's purpose was never combat in the first place.

Caster had tamed it just so it could pick up objects on the top shelves for her due to her being too lazy to do it herself, so it not being skilled in combat is to be expected. Thus, Zukun is better used as a utility or a surprise attack, instead of any other option.

#### **The Cat Witch: "A Magical Monster Cat's Nine Lives"**

Caster's 'True Nature' in the form of a Noble Phantasm.

Instead of a witch as she was mistaken to be by many (Even the mighty God of Death), she is instead a 'Monster Cat' with enough magical power to rival and exceed actual witches. Possessing the ability to shapeshift into a human form and back into her original form as a cat. This transformation technically seals off most of her skills, as they act in accordance with her human appearance. But she is still capable of using her magic in this state, perhaps with even more ease than her human form. Despite the great difference in appearance, Caster's stats do not change as a cat or as a human, allowing her to perform effective sneak attacks... if she felt like it at the time.

There is one thing that makes this "worthy" of being a Noble Phantasm at all, and that thing makes up for most of Caster's other 'lacking' attributes.

As a Monster Cat, Caster has nine lives. If she were to die by any means (even normally 'immortal killer' attacks) she will pop back up perfectly unharmed and without a sound. Even if you were to directly destroy her soul or eat her spiritual core, she will come back as long as she still has a life left. These lives do not regenerate, unfortunately, unless one was to provide her with a strong enough soul or another spiritual core.

Of course, she would rather lounge about then use such an ability to her advantage. So, her defeat is almost guranteed.

## Trivia

* Though not a genuine member of the witch race, she is still classified as a witch.
* Blair's self-ascribed nickname, "Bu-tan", is a shorter, cutesy abbreviation of "Blair-chan"/"Burea-chan". "-Tan" is a babytalk variant of "-chan", making "Bu-tan" roughly translateable to "Little Miss B".
* Blair was ranked 15th in the Official popularity poll and ranked 17th in the second.
* Blair tends to refer to herself in the third person. For example, in Chapter 0.1, Volume 1, Yen Press translation, Blair says "Blair's just a cat with really strong magical powers! ♡" She also says "Nya ha! You'll never be able to defeat Blair! ♪" and "...then why don't you be Blair's instead? ♡ Blair will forgive eeeverything you do. ♡" along with other numerous instances. This habit persists in later chapters. In Volume 3, Chapter 12, Yen Press translation, she says "Aww! Blair's bored!" and "Play with Blair!! ♡"
* Her name is a reference to the movie *The Blair Witch Project*.
