Astolfo.

Appearance of Rider of Black (Astolfo)

Standing amidst the fading glow is a slender knight in ornate silver armor trimmed with pink and white, a short cape fluttering behind them. Long, rosy-pink hair flows down their back in a braid tied with black ribbons. Their features are delicate and androgynous — beautiful enough to make anyone hesitate to guess their gender.

They carry themselves with casual, almost theatrical confidence, resting one hand on their hip and smiling brightly at their new Master.

Personality and Introduction

Astolfo gives a quick, lively bow and introduces themself with enthusiasm:

“I am Astolfo, one of Charlemagne’s Twelve Paladins! Pleased to serve as your Rider!”

Their tone is light, upbeat, and distinctly carefree — totally unlike the stern, formal introductions of the other Servants being summoned at the same time.

looks momentarily surprised — she expected a fierce, obedient knight, not this bubbly, flamboyant spirit. She eyes Astolfo with a mix of intrigue and disbelief. Despite her dominant personality, Astolfo remains cheerful and unbothered, grinning as if everything’s perfectly fine.
