Class Skills

Territory Creation: A
Creates a “Workshop” that is an advantageous position to oneself as a magus. Because she possesses A Rank in this, it is possible to create a “Temple”, which is superior to a “Workshop”.

Item Construction: B
The production of devices that carries magical energy. Upon manifesting, Blavatsky will always create multiple copies of miniature automata patterned after “Colonel Olcott”, the right-hand man who once served her, conveniently using them for this and that instead of maids. Incidentally, they are not very suitable for combat.

Personal Skills

Mana Tuning: C
Drastically stimulates, simultaneously, the mana of herself and other people that are in tune with her magical energy.

Mahatma: A
She calls the pioneers who had reached the Root as “Mahatma”, stipulating that they are beings of a higher order. She employs a multitude of Thaumaturgy Foundations that are engraved into the World, thinking that————she is manipulating powerful magecraft by borrowing power from Mahatma. It is unknown if it is true that some higher being is providing her that power, or if she just has extremely special Magic Circuits. The magecraft that can be used include Summoning, Black Magics, Alchemy, Formalcraft (Elemental Conversion), Rune Magecraft, Ancient Egyptian Magecraft, and so on, covering many divergences. It is also possible for her to employ the Holy Church’s Baptism Rites.

Also, by employing multiple Thaumaturgy Foundations simultaneously, she can even "miraculously" succeed in manipulating extremely powerful magecraft. Because it is essential for a lot of luck and chance to factor in this as well, it can be concluded that this simultaneous employment does not always work every time, so the effect becomes as such: “the invocation of extremely powerful magecraft sometimes occur.”

Pursuit for the Unknown: B
A direct marketing from Ms. Blavatsky who aims for the Root (Truth). It is also a fleeting dream, of her wanting to share with others, in one way or another, the bond with the unknown that she once encountered in the middle of her dream.

Noble Phantasm

Sanat Kumara: Venusian God, Heavenly Lord of the Flame
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1~50
Maximum Number of Targets: 150 people

A giant clad in shining Ether reveals its form alongside a flying object, before burning the surroundings with flames.

  • “This is an inner mystery of theosophy that works as the temporary “recreation” of the power of Sanat Kumara (Demon Lord Defender), who is one of the Earth’s creation deities and a deity who came flying in from Venus to the Earth!”
  • “The flying saucer? Um, that was floating by my bedside when I happened to wake up in the morning one day.”
  • “My Noble Phantasm? That, uhh, appeared out of some letters that were delivered to me from Mahatma. In the beginning, it was so small. It had really cute eyes too.”
  • “I met it by chance in the wastelands, during the time when I was travelling through the southern part of Nevada. Yes, the state of Nevada in the United States of America. With a ‘woosh’, my consciousness was transferred to somewhere around the Alpha Centauri, where it was experiencing something a little amazing… and when I realized I came back, I got it. The flying saucer.”

Finally, although she speaks of several origins, the true identity of the giant as well as the flying object is unknown.

Personality

An eternal magical girl who is kind to others and yet strict to herself. In her lifetime, Helena wandered from place to place throughout many high societies, networked with geniuses endowed with a strong individuality such as Bell and Edison, and occasionally argued with the Mage’s Association and authorities in every direction, having excelled at mediating these sorts of things. In addition, if in a place where many Servants congregate, Helena’s nature is seemingly reflected as that of a “meddlesome mother/elder sister that is helpful in taking care of others.”

However, one should not forget that Helena too is still a genius endowed with a strong self-assertion. Towards an “ordinary person” who does not understand the concepts of Mahatma and Hierarchy, it seems that they will not particularly attract her interest, but if in the case where once she recognizes them “having promise” of understanding those concepts, it seems she will not let her target get away easily.

##Motivation/Attitude towards the Master

It appears————Helena has many wishes she would like to make on the Holy Grail. She says that she cannot narrow them down to one, but it is unknown what is actually the case.

“Don’t you think that a woman of many mysteries is fine? Yes, that’s not it. There is only one truth, which the people cannot perceive; everything is known by Mahatma!”

Dialogue Examples

“———Excellent. This Caster will guide you!”
”I’ll teach you anything you want. Old things, new things, I comprehend them all!”
“That time when we barbequed, I wonder why you child prodigies didn’t learn your lesson. No matter how old you grow to be, you are still children. Although, I do not even dislike that sort of thing.”
“Lemuria in the sea, Hierarchy in the sky, and this me on the Earth!”
“… Yes? Me during my lifetime? I was in this form all the way until I died. What of it?”

Historical Character Image

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. A female occultist of the 19th Century, a founder of theosophy. One of the leaders in modern occultism. Although she married a Russian aristocrat at a young age, she would immediately elope to live gorgeously in the magic world. Popularly known as Madame Blavatsky. Immersing herself in mysticism out of belief of the existence of the Lemurian continent that was said to be a land erased in the ancient times, she came in contact with a higher existence, “Mahatma”, and its collective body, “Hierarchy”, having acquired many wisdoms in the process————If that is surely the case, it may not be known that she might have caught sight of a possibility towards the Root.

Character Image in "Fate/Grand Order"

A prodigious magus born as a mutation. She called the pioneers who have reached the Root as “Mahatma” and “Hierarchy”, and stipulated (assumed) that they are higher existences. Helena herself says that she always felt their messages, but for others to feel the same thing, it seems that the same kind of ability (special Magic Circuits) she possesses is needed. It is highly likely that neither the Lemurian continent nor Mahatma actually exist, and she is “merely a prodigy who performed a peculiar interpretation of the world.” Up to her last moments, she could not reach an agreement with London’s Mage’s Association.

As a Servant, Helena materializes as an all-rounder Caster who manipulates many magecrafts, of the ancient times to the modern era, that became a foundation for theosophy. Although she can even so far as manipulate the Holy Church’s Baptism Rites to the Ancient Egyptian Magecrafts, as expected, it seems that those ancient magecrafts are not really her forte.

General Armaments

She can perform magical attacks by means of chanting. She can also perform distant magical attacks not because of using attributes such as wind and fire, but by means of projecting pure magical energy. Specifically, a book (secret doctrine) floats around and fires beams with a ‘bang!’

Connection with Characters

Edison and Nikola Tesla

Like as how it was before, Helena is on good terms with Edison who lived in her lifetime and had a connection with her. She regards the relationship between Edison and Nikola Tesla and their eternal rivalry. “Seriously now, even up to becoming Heroic Spirits?...” was her comment from an elder sister’s point of view.

Nursery Rhyme

At any rate, remembering “Alice in Wonderland” when she looks at her, she feels complicated. To say it plainly, it is not a pleasant feeling. This is because of the time when she met Charles Dodgson, also known as Lewis Carroll, the author of “Alice”, who was a warm supporter of the SPR (the United Kingdom’s Society of Psychical Research). As a Heroic Spirit, Helena Blavatsky is relatively calmer, but she cannot get used to being kind to those authorities who chased after her during her lifetime. Regarding this matter, she says “Even now, I still detest them.”

Arthur Conan Doyle

Although Sir Conan Doyle was a supporter of the SPR, no matter how many times, his reaction is always kind. “Mr. Doyle is by no means a bad person. Uhh, but of course, he… was an official of the SPR, huh… Eh? Of course, I understand that Mr. Holmes isn’t a bad person!”

Indian Heroic Spirits

To Helena, India is her second home… or rather, it is even like the home of her soul. She wants to do something like getting along with them.

Comment from Illustrator

At first, I was designing a concept of a beautiful Russian girl in a military uniform, but I settled down with the current design after having a briefing session with Mr. Takeuchi. Concerning the results, I think it resulted in her appearing more like a Caster, but I did not think her Noble Phantasm would unexpectedly become something like that (LOL).


For reference, here was Matsuryu's original military uniform design.

Next on the list should be Phantom, so look forward to that Phantom NA Player!
