Real Name: Tamamo-no-Mae
Pseudonym: Caster
File Number: WF09
Internal name: Improve_Waifu_Fox_03
BASIC INFORMATION
Gender: Female
Age: ? (Physically she appears as a young woman between 18 and 19 years old, but we believe she is much older)
Experience: Almost a decade of marriage (Tamamo-no-Mae states that she has been Saver's wife for years and helps him in everything he does.
Normally, we wouldn't compare time spent as a self-proclaimed housewife/wife to experience.
But considering who the target of Tamamo-no-Mae's affections is and her tendencies to get into absurd trouble, we decided to go along with it.)
Place of Birth: ? (Tamamo-no-Mae, like all other members of the Black Cabal, have offered very vague information about their origin. Taking into account Tamamo-no-Mae's accent, her clothing, her habits and food preferences. We believe she is from Higashi)
Date of Birth: ? (Tamamo-no-Mae as half of the Black Cabal, that is, the half with strange names like Ruler and Berserker, refused to declare their birthday. Why don't the others have this problem?)
Race: Vulpo (de jure) (But we believe she could be something else. Considering her unique abilities and the fact that she confessed to having eight sisters, we believe she is either a Feranmut or has a Feranmut artifact)
Height: 163cm

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Profile: Tamamo-no-Mae, aka Caster, shares a lack of real backstory, like all Black Cabal Members.
Officially, Tamamo-no-Mae, made her appearance in Higashi, in the company of Rider, as a nomadic Miko and her energy companion.
At roughly the same time, remaining members of the Black Cabal appeared on the radar in various corners of the world, carrying out various tasks.
Staying focused on the subject, Tamamo-no-Mae, he traveled throughout Higashi, to the South, where the country is more commercial and free, then to the North, where the country is more military and strict.
Tamamo-no-Mae during her journey, she stopped for a few days in small places, while in big cities she stayed for a week.
At first glance, it appears that Tamamo-no-Mae was a young woman on a long vacation in Higashi with her pink-haired companion.
But, our informants discovered that Caster and Rider were visiting every temple and place with spiritual or potentially paranormal significance.
In addition to visiting these places, Tamamo-no-Mae also made a large number of purchases of archaic books devoted to the Arts, Myths, Legends and Folklore of Higashi.
During this long journey through tourist resorts and religious temples, Tamamo-no-Mae has been involved in some disputes between religious sects and conflicts between the Clans that run the country.
We do not know how or why, but the various leaders of different factions wanted to recruit Tamamo-no-Mae as their high priestess or as a bride for the Clan Chief.
None of these groups were successful.
The most sensational and disastrous refusal occurred in the capital of Higashi, when the heir of the greatest Onii Clan, tried to ask Tamamo-no-Mae to marry him and did not want to hear a refusal.
Tamamo-no-Mae used her mirror and her Arts to freeze the heir and half the hotel, as well as teach a little lesson to the Onii Clan who have to rebuild the family estate and pay a lot of medical bills.
Until the Black Cabal's public appearance as a group, Tamamo-no-Mae remained in Higashi, making herself known as an incredibly beautiful and equally powerful Kitsune female in the Arts and above all unattainable.
Then, when the Black Cabal joined Rhodes Island, everyone got a surprise when they found out why Tamamo-no-Mae was an ice queen for the most powerful and wealthy men (and some women) in Higashi.
Tamamo-no-Mae is a woman madly in love with her Goshujin-Sama (Saver), having eyes for no one else.
Clinical Analysis:
- Increase Trust to 25.
Negotiations with the Black Cabal to conduct medical examinations of the Operators (Avenger, Ruler, Saber, Archer, Lancer, Caster, Rider, Assassin, Berserker, Saber Alter, Saber Rose) was a complete failure.
These eight Operators refuse to be examined by medical personnel on Rhodes Island, but they have agreed to give us a copy of the results of a medical check-up performed by a member of the Black Cabal.
The Operator Witch of Gula, a former nun, now a close-combat witch and part-time chef, was in charge of performing the medical check-up on Caster, aka Tamamo-no-Mae.
According to the results, Tamamo-no-Mae is in excellent health and does not suffer from Oripathy.
[Many members of the Department of Medicine are not happy with the results received by Witch of Gula, who is not even a certified nurse.
Taking advice from Nian and using the Black Cabal Master's weakness for gambling and betting, we came up with an alternative arrangement.
If a member of the Medical Department defeats a Black Cabal Member in a competition chosen by the latter, we may give a full medical exam to the loser, if we lose we have to cosplay and put on a show.
Caster defeated Gavial in a traditional cooking competition in Higashi. As a result, Gavial had to dress up in a man's suit and perform a Step dance.
- Silence]
[Maybe I'm getting too little sleep or obsessed with the Black Cabal, but this group is hiding something big.
Mash was probably born in a laboratory as an attempt to mass-produce Super-soldiers; each of the seven witches are special cases from a clinical and Arts point of view.
But, they have done everything to prevent us from examining the "Servants", those who are the True Super-soldiers of Chaldea: Avenger, Ruler, Saber, Archer, Lancer, Caster, Rider, Assassin, Berserker, Saber Alter, Saber Rose.
I just want a drop of their blood, I'm asking too much!
I'll take a blood sample, by hook or by crook!
*sound of a magic mirror freezing a crazed vampire doctor*
- Warfarin]
[All Rhodes Island staff are deeply reminded that we have an important job and your dedication is admirable.
But that doesn't mean you have to work day and night and stop taking care of yourself and your needs.
Therefore, every so many months, anyone who is not carrying out a project or an Operator in a critical situation must take a week off.
We do not want any more incidents like what happened with Warfarin.

Tamamo-no-Mae is an Operator with slightly above average physical abilities, but she makes up for it with her enormous talent in the Arts, although it is probably the Magecraft or Magic typical of the Black Cabal.
Tamamo-no-Mae even though she calls herself Caster is an Operator Supporter.
Tamamo-no-Mae specializes in curse techniques, which weaken the enemy in a variety of ways.
Tamamo's attack patterns are basically two: 1. Strikes using her mirror and 2. Long-range attacks using Curses.
Putting aside her personality flaws and disadvantage in melee combat, Tamamo-no-Mae makes up for this with the sheer power and versatility of her Arts, being able to destroy a building, extremely weaken an enemy, or buff her allies.
[I am not as good as you think. 45% of my power is innate, 50% of my power comes from the efforts and investment of my beloved Goshujin-Sama, the remaining 5% comes from my own effort.
Back in Chaldea, there were other Servant Casters better than me. Medea a brilliant witch capable of building artifacts and potions of the highest level, Da Vinci a sorceress and inventor capable of creating anything.
But I definitely outmatch them in terms of firepower and, more importantly, I outmatch them as a woman, I'm a young married woman with a fantastic husband, while they are old single witches obsessed with magic and science.
- Tamamo-no-Mae]
[Can someone tell Warfarin to stop sending requests to the Department of Logic and focus our efforts on finding Chaldea and these Servants. We have better things to do than hunt down fallen secret organizations and Magical Super-soldiers that may be in the most remote corners of the world.

At first glance, Tamamo-no-Mae is a girl with a carefree personality, appearing silly and cheerful, being able to get along with many of the Operators on Rhodes Island.
Tamamo-no-Mae gets along especially well with Suzuran and Shamare, treating the two girls in an almost maternal manner.
Caster also gives the other younger Operators the same affectionate treatment, but Tamamo-no-Mae shows particular affection towards the two Vulpo girls.
In Suzuran's case, it's understandable, Suzuran is a little girl loved by everyone, she shares with Tamamo-no-Mae the fact of being a fox with multiple tails, the talent for the Arts, the fact of being a Miko and coming from similar cultures.
However, we were pleasantly surprised by the growing platonic relationship between Shamare and Tamamo-no-Mae.
Shamare is a fox girl with pink hair and disturbing voodoo-like powers.
When Tamamo-no-Mae isn't working as an Operator Supporter or doing her wifely chores, she dedicates her time to teaching Suzuran and Shamare how to improve their skills in the Arts and more.
Surprisingly, even the unsociable Saver has begun to contribute to the education and training of Suzuran and Shamare, becoming something of a brotherly or father figure.
[Onee-Sama and Onii-Sama, they are wonderful teachers, they remind me of my parents. I am learning a lot of new things from them both and they tell me a lot of stories about Ancient Heroes and their Amazing Feats.
I am happy to have them by my side and even happier to see that my friend, Shamare, is becoming fond of them.
- Suzuran]
[Tamamo-no-Mae and Saver are becoming my favorite people on Rhodes Island, both of them are cursed beings like me.
Tamamo-no-Mae reminds me of a powerful evil spirit, but her essence is strange, as if she were a fragment or copy of a greater being.
Saver is haunted by a hundred evil spirits, the hatred of his ancestors refuses to die.
I like them both, the three of us are kindred beings.
- Shamare]
[These two fox cubs are adorable and talented, Suzuran is a little sun, while Shamare is a cute moon. I wonder if I can adopt Shamare, she would be a wonderful daughter for me and Goshujin-Sama.
- Tamamo-no-Mae]
[We are not adopting the little girl who looks like a combination of Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Addams. The Owl House is already full of kids with complicated situations. But if she wants one of us as a guardian, I am willing to take her under my wing.
- Saver]
[Some members of the Black Cabal have come to ask for my assistance not as an Operator Defender, but as a former judge and legal expert. I believe we will soon be traveling to Syracuse.

Tamamo-no-Mae, is a very capable woman as an Operator Supporter and a motherly and supportive figure towards the younger Operators.
But one of his biggest flaws is his jealousy and his sharp tongue.
Tamamo-no-Mae has demonstrated a harsh, predatory and competitive nature towards a certain category of her fellow Operators, namely attractive women aged 18 and over who she approaches with the Operator Saver.
Fortunately for everyone, the jealousy episodes are short-lived and have never appeared during an ongoing Operation.
But many female Operators have received a "tip" to prepare for war if they want to ruin their "marriage".
After this "friendly advice" Tamamo-no-Mae went back to acting like usual, as if nothing had happened.
Unfortunately, there are cases where Tamamo-no-Mae has become fixated on certain Operators as "romantic rivals" or potential "threats" (Warfarin, Closure, Nian, Dusk, Ling, Shu, Kjera, Gladiia, Surtr, Mostima, Mizuki, Muelsyse, Mudrock).
These thirteen Operators ended up on Tamamo-no-Mae's blacklist, forcing the Logistics Department and Human Resources Department to create a program to prevent the Fox Priestess from meeting with one of her "romantic rivals."
Many Rhodes Island members feel sorry for the Black Cabal for having to live every day with a jealous woman like Tamamo-no-Mae.
[The list of alleged rivals of Tamamo-no-Mae is not interesting. Leaving aside Warfarin and Closure who were put on the list because of their academic interest in Operator Saver.
The rest are rather unique cases that stand out from the Normal Operators, especially Nian, Dusk, Ling, Shu, Kjera.
- Kal'tsit]
[In my experience, Tamamo-no-Mae will generally leave you alone if you have not harmed her, but she has no qualms about destroying those who provoke her, interfere, or have something she wants.
Fortunately, her many years at Senpai's side have mostly buried her more ruthless side. She won't seriously harm any woman on Rhodes Island unless she gets caught kissing Senpai or in a compromising position.
In that case, I highly recommend running away to Rhodes Island or hiding behind my shield.
- Mash Kyrielight]
[I have to declare two things:
First, Tama-chan is a woman with many sides: Yamato Nadeshiko, Genki Girl, Clingy Jealous Girl. But, she is not a murderous Yandere.
There are about ten women who were threatened by Tama-chan to stay away from me, but they are still alive and whole and a part of my life.
Surviving Tama-chan's jealousy is like an initiation ritual, to be able to join my close acquaintances.
Second, I don't want a Battle Harem of Operators, that's the Doctor's job.
I don't even want a relationship or a one night stand with any woman or man from Rhodes Island.
I just want to take a closer look at the unique capabilities of the unique subjects found on Rhodes Island, nothing more, nothing less.

We discovered through a discussion with Rider that Tamamo-no-Mae's mirror is called: Eightfold Blessings of Amaterasu on the Weight Stone under the Sunlit Watery Heavens.
The origins of the mirror are uncertain, Rider said it is one of the Three Sacred Treasures of a distant land, the other two treasures being a sword and a gem.
Tamamo-no-Mae's mirror once activated its main function, summons a circle of levitating Ofuda surrounded by a series of glowing Torii, charges the mirror with energy and stops there in the center of the circle to attract the energy.
The absorbed energy allows Tamamo-no-Mae to use her curses without the need to expend magical energy for a limited time, comparable to acting as if she had an infinite supply of magical energy.
According to further information obtained by Rider, Tamamo-no-Mae cannot use her mirror to its full power and possesses other abilities that are unknown even to Tamamo-no-Mae herself.
[The mirror of Tamamo-no-Mae, Eightfold Blessings of Amaterasu, resembles the unique weapons of two Operators, Laevatain and Mostima.
Laevatain wields a flaming sword that burns everything it touches and does not obey the normal rules of the Arts.
Mostima wields two staffs, known respectively as the "Black Lock" and the "White Key", both capable of casting spells that can cause widespread destruction.
I ask permission to closely examine Tamamo-no-Mae's mirror to discover its hidden abilities or the materials it is made of.
- Closure]
[Request denied. If Tamamo-no-Mae's mirror resembles the weapons of Laevatain and Mostima, tampering with it or taking it from its rightful owner could spell disaster.
Additionally, our contact with the Black Cabal prevents us from examining their equipment without the owner's explicit permission.
- Kal'tsit]
[But can we ask them how or where they found weapons and armor that seem to come from myths?
As a blacksmith I am very curious to discover the techniques behind the creation of Lord Camelot, Eightfold Blessings of Amaterasu, Kavacha and Kundala, Arondight, Photon Ray.
Whoever built such weapons must be a master blacksmith who dedicated his life to the art of weapon forging.

Doctor, do you want to hear an old story?
Long ago, in a far away land, a powerful fox spirit took an interest in humanity.
Giving up her power and memories, she transformed into a little girl who was found and raised by a loving farmer couple.
At the age of eighteen she began serving at the court of the emperor, who had fallen in love with her at first sight.
Happiness was short-lived for the girl, because of fear and misunderstanding of the people, she had to escape from the emperor's court.
At the end of her escape, the girl encountered an army of eighty thousand men who were sent at the behest of the retired emperor to kill her.
It rained arrows for three days and three nights straight, many people died, the girl thought she would die without loving anyone.
But a miracle happens and the girl suddenly finds herself in a small temple in the city of Fuyuki in the presence of a young and charming traveler.
Soon, the girl fell in love with the traveler and began accompanying him on his numerous trips around the world.
Unfortunately, the girl was not the first or last woman to be attracted to the traveler.
Many rivals appeared on the girl's path, most of them were defeated, but some were as tenacious and stubborn as the girl herself.
With a heavy heart, the girl had to accept the idea that she will only be the legitimate wife and will have to tolerate the presence of the concubines.
Years have passed, the family has grown, many things have happened, some bad, some good.
But the girl ended up loving her new life and accepting the presence of the concubines.
One day, the girl promised herself that she would do anything to protect her new extended family.
That girl, if forced, would become an evil nine-tailed fox and destroy every threat, not even a nice doctor and his operators would be safe from her fury.
DIALOGUE
Appointed as Assistant: I am a fox priestess of unparalleled beauty and for today I will be your assistant, but only for today, I have a husband to support.
Talk 1: My beloved Goshujin-Sama is a complicated man who often gets into all sorts of trouble. Before Rhodes Island, there was Chaldea, Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other wacky groups. At least they end up seeing unique landscapes and meeting all sorts of people.
Talk 2: My old career at the Imperial Court is coming in handy, the work is more or less the same. Although more scientific and logistical in nature. Surely Oda Nobunaga would be perfect for this position.
Talk 3: Doctor, I'm tired of working on paperwork, can't we sit down at a table and have a nice cup of tea, we could talk about the latest news.
Talk after Promotion 1: Doctor, I came to Rhodes Island just to be close to my Goshujin-Sama, I didn't care about the infected or the Oripathy.
But, things have changed, I have become closer to many of you, especially little Suzuran and Shamare, now I hope that we will find a cure for Oripathy as soon as possible.
I want to ensure a bright and safe future for those little girls.
Talk after Promotion 2: Doctor, decided to use Rhodes Island as my wedding venue.
Kal'tsit can officiate the ceremony; Doctor, you can walk me down the aisle; Amiya can take care of the rings; Suzuran and Shamare can be the bridesmaids; the rest of the Operators can be the witnesses.
I've planned the entire wedding perfectly, I just need to get your permission, send the rest of the Black Cabal Members away in a Fake Operation, and tell Goshujin-Sama to dress nicely.
Talk after Trust Increase 1: Doctor, I was originally a Nine-Tailed Fox. Now, I only have 3 tails, and therefore, a power of 729. If I were to obtain all my tails again, I would have a power of 387,420,489.
Talk after Trust Increase 2: Here is a very important advice for you, Doctor. Harems are very dangerous for the physical and mental health of an individual. You should choose only one woman and stay faithful to her only, your life will be happier and more complete. Personally, I advise you to choose Amiya, she is perfect for you.
Talk after Trust Increase 3: Doctor, this time I am the person who needs advice. Should I have a Western or Eastern style wedding? Should I wear a beautiful wedding dress or a fantastic ceremonial kimono? Maybe I should try to find a middle ground? Doctor, I need your opinion to sort out the final details.
Idle: The Doctor fell asleep, that means I can go stay with my Goshujin-Sama!
Onboard: I am Caster of the Black Cabal, I have come to Rhodes Island mainly to support my beloved Goshujin-Sama. But do not worry, my curses and wiles will be at your service.
Watching Battle Record: An entire archive that allows me to observe my beloved Goshujin-Sama in his element, he is too charming when he fights, I could spend all day watching him.
Promotion 1: I am a happy Foxgirl, I have been promoted, now I am part of Rhodes Island Elite. I hope I will end up in Long-term Missions with my dear Goshujin-Sama.
Promotion 2: Another promotion? I think I will have to start fighting not only for my beloved Goshujin-Sama and my extended family. Now, I will commit myself for the sake of my fox cubs, if I grow a fourth or fifth tail, it will not be a problem.
Added to Squad: I see, the team needs the presence of a beautiful and charming woman capable of working miracles. I am exactly what you need, Doctor.
Appointed as Squad Leader: The role of leader is not something I do often. I am more of a consort or wife, my purpose is to support and advise my beloved Goshujin-Sama. However, I believe I can give some useful advice to my teammates, both in love and in battle.
Begin Operation: It's time to show that my beauty is matched only by my power.
Selecting Operator 1: I am a Fox Priestess not a soldier, but I can put ugly country people in their place.
Selecting Operator 2: I'm a newlywed, I'm supposed to be by my husband's side and have fun on our honeymoon, but I'm stuck here fighting.
Deployment 1: The perfect place to show off my awesome skills. My Goshujin-Sama won't be able to take his eyes off me.
Deployment 2: I'm going to tear you to pieces so I can get home as soon as possible, I won't let any slut take advantage of my absence.
In Battle 1: Curse: Thunderclap !
In Battle 2: Curse: Chaos Heaven !
In Battle 3: Curse: Fiery Heaven !
In Battle 4: Eightfold Blessings of Amaterasu on the Weight Stone under the Sunlit Watery Heavens !
Operation cleared (4-star): I did better than expected in this Operation, we must return to Rhodes Island as soon as possible, I must report and receive a well-deserved reward from my Goshujin-Sama. I am his favorite not only for my looks, but also for my skills.
Operation cleared (3-star): I am Tamamo-no-Mae, the most beautiful and elegant Foxgirl in the world, the legitimate wife of the King in Black of Chaldea, don't be surprised that I completed the Operation without ruining my clothes.
Operation cleared (2-star): I don't like it, to complete the Operation, I had to use my fists, I hope Goshujin-Sama didn't see me, I want to maintain my image as a beautiful, frail woman who needs to be protected.
Operation failed: My beloved Goshujin-Sama will be disappointed in me, I failed the mission, I lost points and I am behind in the concubines. But, it will not happen again, next time things will happen differently!

Tap: I understand that I have the softest fox ears and tail in the world, but don't overdo it or you'll pay dearly.
Trust Tap: Damn womanizer, I am a married woman, touch me one more time and I will curse you, then I will tear you to pieces!
Greeting: Welcome back Doctor, have you come to get more love advice?
