Character from Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara
An Integrity Knight who fights behind a helmet because the men she commands can't take her seriously without it — the second-strongest Knight and the one who resents needing to hide.
Fanatio is furious about the specific injustice of being one of the most powerful warriors in the Underworld and still being dismissed because of her gender. She hides behind armor not out of shame but out of strategic necessity — the male Knights fight harder when they don't know they're being led by a woman, and she hates that this is true. She is proud, disciplined, and channels her anger into combat excellence. Her fight against Kirito in the Cathedral is one of the series' best — she doesn't hold back, doesn't monologue, and nearly wins through sheer skill and fury.
Tall and powerfully built, she wears full Integrity Knight armor with a visored helmet that conceals her gender. When the helmet comes off, she has long dark hair and sharp, beautiful features. She wields the Heaven Piercing Sword — a blade of concentrated light.
Also known as: Fanatio, Vice Commander Fanatio
