Seeing how I went from scantily clad waifus to Nazi dominatrix to this, perhaps I should see if there's something wrong with my thought train. Or perhaps not, seeing how there's a loli Jesus Christ. Whatever.

BackgroundUnder normal conditions, Hans Christian Andersen would be summoned as an adult in the body of a kid. This is because Servants are generally summoned during their prime, which in his case would be when he was a child. Or that’s what he says. Perhaps he was summoned at such a young age because it was his Master’s intention since the beginning, but we will never know the truth. Anyways, that’s not what happened during this summoning.
For whatever reason, together with Andersen, his previous Master, Sesshōin Kiara, has been summoned too. Kiara is a kind of saint that lost her place of belonging after being branded a villain by organizations that disliked them being outdone by a person who did the same as them for free. She ended arriving at an oil rig named Seraphix, where she’d work as a psychiatrist that veiled for the staff’s mental health. Eventually, Kiara would offer her body as a sanctuary for Zepar, one of the 72 Demon God Pillars of Solomon. This process of combination allowed her to see the Multiverse, including an alternate universe version of her, and she started formulating a plan to save humanity. Kiara’s desire dominated Zepar, and she became the Evil of Mankind known as Beast III/R, the Demonic Bodhisattva.
This kind of summoning is a rarity among rarities, something whose probabilities of actually happening graze zero. Therefore, it’s logical that attempting to perform it results in errors happening. In this case, Andersen and Kiara’s ages have been accidentally swapped. The writer Caster has become a full-fledged adult, and the saint that became a Beast has returned to her childhood. Incidentally, despite Kiara is a little girl, she doesn’t suffer the same disease she suffered at that age. This may be due to her still conserving her power as a Demonic Bodhisattva. Or at least part of it.
PersonalityAndersen is the same pessimistic and hateful man he used to be, a self-proclaimed third-rate Caster and average man without any worth in combat. He makes sarcastic comments and sharp remarks about people’s flaws and spares no one in that sense, not even himself. This doesn’t come from maliciousness, though, but from understanding as an observer.
As he likes to say, his work is to say the truth, so he never lies. This may make people dislike him, but he’s perfectly fine with it as he has no intention to being liked anyways. He also is the kind of person that, despite not having any kind of dreams and thinking life is a huge pile of crap, won’t laugh at people that think otherwise. This is because he was once like that, and although he won’t intend to revive that side of his, he’ll encourage others to follow their dreams.
Kiara has lost the egoism and perversion that characterized her and become pure and innocent, a girl that likes fairy tales and despises seeing people suffer. This different mentality affects greatly her wish, as she is viewing all humans as truly human and not as “beasts with human form”. Her final destination is now something for everybody’s sake, and not only for hers.
Although she acts as elegant and composed as always, Kiara has become a bit more emotional than before. She actively reacts to offenses and insults rather than just standing there and accepting everything with a smile, and may throw a tantrum if she gets very angry. No matter how mature she tries to be, at the end of the day she’s a little kid. Nevertheless, she’ll apologize for having made a scene once she gets calm.
The relation between Andersen and Kiara can be easily summarized as that of an old brother with his sister. While he is bullying and verbally attacking her most of the time and she tries to return the attacks (just to miserably fail, must be said), they both know they won’t accomplish anything by fighting each other. Independently of whether they like it or not, Andersen will bear with it and act as Kiara’s babysitter, and Kiara will try not to be much of a nuisance to him in order to not lose his support.
SkillsClass skillsItem Construction C
As a writer, Andersen’s specialty is “a love letter that conveys your feelings, 100%”. Considering his own experience with love, that’s something doubtful, what makes requesting the letter almost impossible.
Territory Creation D+
Andersen is able to bring forth a Study from which he provides support without being found by anyone. Its purpose is not to intercept enemies, but to bewilder the eyes of those who see it. This time, the created territory also includes a consult for Kiara to counsel those in need of her advise.
Logos Eater E
Code Cast Lust Bondage, a medical software developed by Kiara that invades the brain and reads the contents of both soul and mind using brain signals, communication, and reaction to stimuli. Ironically, its usage produces greater euphoria and comfort than cyber-drugs, to the point of several users refusing to return to reality.
As a Servant skill, it becomes a buff that makes Kiara deal more damage to intelligent beings with intelligence, regardless of size and shape. However, since she has now the mentality of a child, it’s hard for her to make it work properly, and the buff has become practically insignificant.
Personal skillsHigh-Speed Incantation E
Usually employed to accelerate the chants of incantations, Andersen uses this skill to slightly improve his writing speed. Besides being a slow writer, his lack of motivation makes the work unprofessional, says one of the three greatest fairy tale writers ever.
Innocent Monster D
For Andersen, this skill acts as the curse of readers. His body is covered with frostbites and burns, his legs have mermaid scales, and his heart is a demon fond of bad ends. This is the result of people thinking “He must be like this because this is what he wrote” after reading his stories.
Goddess Metamorphosis C
A remnant of what Kiara would turn into in the future. This skill is the maximum expression of Shapeshift, in which the user metamorphoses into a deity. Kiara receives an indecent amount of low-rank buffs, but the process strains her body, leaving her unable to move after the buffs have dissipated. Furthermore, there’s a risk of her becoming corrupted by the power and going wild. Kiara is well aware of it, and prefers to rely on Andersen’s support rather than on this skill.
Thesis of the Still Heart D
Code Cast Thesis of the Still Heart, used for mental maintenance. Originally made to reproduce a map of the patient’s mind and understanding its connections, stagnating or disturbed areas are determined and physically removed. This skill also considers secrets a disturbance, as there’s always the desire to reveal them to others so one’s situation is understood.
In this state, Kiara uses it for its original purposes and attempts to help people with it, removing mental debuffs for example. But just like with her other Code Cast skill, she is unable to use it properly, resulting in a much lower rank.
Clairvoyant Observation (Beast) B
The capacity to analyzing humans’ behaviors and deducting anything about their lives of Andersen, and the ability to see through the desires and truths of men of Kiara are combined in a sole skill. As long as the opponent is human, its heart is completely exposed.
Noble Phantasm
Type: Anti-UnitMärchen Meines LebensA story just for you
Rank: C
Description:
“Let’s see… How should I title this one?”
“I wish Andersen writes a happy ending this time…”
Andersen’s Noble Phantasm and manuscript of his autobiography, a book in which he compiled and recorded his way of life through the reflections of himself in his works. Its core is the concept of all works being alternate selves of their author.
Every single page of the book is filled with mana provided by those who love Andersen and his stories, and they take form and action as the Andersen readers felt they saw. However, its true worth resides on using its concept of “story = reflection of self” to make an individual grow and develop into a leading character. Andersen wipes the book clear and starts writing a story from scrapes, using his observations about the individual of choice to design their ideal life.
This Noble Phantasm may seem omnipotent, as it has the potential to make people obtain an unimaginable power, but it’s actually very unreliable due to its limitations.
First of all, the life of the individual and the life described in the manuscript will coincide in an amount of aspects depending on the extension of the story. A few pages will just result in a bunch of coincidences happening around the person, while finishing the story will make the one chosen as the main character grow to their peak form, their ideal aspect.
Second, the quality of the work depends greatly on Andersen’s own mood. Given his pessimism and pride as a writer, he can’t just think “everything is going to be fine”, or give the character plot armor. The ideal self of one can’t be easily reached because the author won’t allow it. Andersen must be motivated in order to make him write a satisfying work.
Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-Planet
Amitābha Amidala – Heaven’s EmbracePleasure Heaven – Snuggle Realm Mandala
Rank: EX
Description:
“Perhaps what the world needs is a big, biiiiig hug!”
“That’s stupid, but hey!, it’s better than what you tried to do last time. Congratulations for improving.”
By choosing Kiara as the leading character of his story, Andersen makes her reach a power almost equivalent to that she possessed in the past. Since this Kiara’s motivations are far more altruistic than before, the final result ends up as something different from the original.
Kiara becomes a sacrificial martyr that takes the ailments of those embraced by her into the Sukhāvatī, the paradise her entrails have become, where those negative aspects are erased. Visually, this action is represented with Kiara growing to literally astronomical proportions and hugging the Earth.
This act of kindness, as worthy of a saint or a messiah as it is, isn’t other thing than assuming the role of a disposal hole that will consume anything that isn’t needed for the good of humanity. No matter how good this practice may look, it isn’t far from that performed by an ancient tribe that blamed a single individual of all the known evils and made them responsible of them.
While Amitābha Amidala – Heaven’s Embrace is listed as a Noble Phantasm, it is only a formality. Strictly speaking, this is just a special attack performed by assigning a specific target for Märchen Meines Lebens, what in a game would be comboing a character’s abilities with those of an ally’s to do a high-caliber attack.

“That’s rude, Andersen. Look, you’ve made her cry.”

I could have given Kiara Authority of the Beast and/or Independent Manifestation, but if I was going to make their rank E-, I might as well not include them. Thanks to You for clarifying the differences of her Code Casts.
