Character from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha by Masaki Tsuzuki / Seven Arcs
Presea Testarossa's daughter — except she isn't. She's a clone of Presea's dead biological child, created to gather Jewel Seeds, loved by her familiar and no one else, until Nanoha kept shooting at her and then asked if she was okay.
Fate is serious, composed, and working very hard to be okay. She was raised by a mother who abused her, implanted with the memories of a dead girl who wasn't her, and told she was a temporary replacement for a child she never got to meet. She believed her mother loved her anyway, because she needed that to be true. After the first season she builds something real: Lindy's family, Nanoha's friendship, Alph always nearby. She becomes an investigator, then a guardian, then a person with people she is allowed to be responsible for. This is what she wanted all along — to matter to someone by choosing to be there. She worries about others often. She tends to hide her own distress until it becomes unsustainable. Lindy has called her on this. Nanoha has called her on this. She's working on it. Her magic color is gold; she is right-handed, unlike Alicia, which is the tell if you know to look for it.
Long golden blonde hair, scarlet eyes. Wears a black Barrier Jacket that fits the dark-type offensive mage archetype she fills — fast, precise, devastating at close to medium range. She moves like someone who has always been faster than the people coming at her and learned to rely on it. Her magic is gold. Bardiche is at her side always.
