I mean it's sometimes a little weird to me how unseen/underpromoted (I guess?) some of these characters are, like Aoi or Maiya or Kariya. Like beyond her son in Strange Fake, have we seen hints of Maiya in adaptations or media beyond Fate/Zero? And I don't mean stuff like she was on a Craft Essence image.
Granted it's kind of interesting, now that I look back on it, how Rin seems to never mention her mother in the VN.
I'm wondering if she'll be the completely normal heroine route.
