Character: Ritsuka Fujimaru
Current Canon Point: Post-Solomon
Updated Canon Point: Post-Salem
Updated Background: Following Chaldea's bittersweet victory at the Temple of Time, it was discovered that a few of the Demon God Pillars had escaped and were attempting to establish Psuedo-Singularities in a last-ditch effort to achieve their goals. These were as follows:
Shinjuku
A singularity in a twisted version of 1999 Japan, Ritsuka had to deal with temperamental allies, deception, and even being forced to choose whether to sacrifice a life beyond saving for the sake of the greater good. (She chose to go through with it, incidentally.) Not to mention the betrayal of someone who'd befriended her as an ally, to boot. It was a harsh struggle full of difficult decisions for what was ultimately a singularity doomed to collapse on its own anyway, rendering all that effort and heartache arguably pointless. Still, she chose to press on and overcome, even once again gladly welcoming former enemies into Chaldea after all was said and done.
SE.RA.PH
Once a year, Chaldea makes contact with its sister facility, an oil rig called Seraphix. This time, however, something goes wrong, so naturally Ritsuka and a few Servants proceed to rayshift there to investigate and solve the problem. This promptly turns into a romp through cyberspace and a battle against one of the Beasts that represent the Evils of Humanity. So all and all a pretty typical mission... Except for the whole uncovering a few of the skeletons that Chaldea's founder and original director had in the closet. That was a bit disturbing, and reason enough that once the Beast was defeated to let what little remained of Seraphix cease to exist.
Agartha
A peculiar singularity located deep underground, and populated only by women. Or more specifically, ruled by women, with men relegated to being mere property. Ritsuka and her Servants pretty much fought their way through until finding the mastermind and defeating the Demon God Pillar to end the singularity. Oh, and there was some getting betrayed along the way, because even after the Shinjuku incident Ritsuka's still quick to trust. (No, this didn't change that either.)
Shimousa
Not actually a singularity per se, but something a little different, that Ritsuka became trapped in via a dream. After meeting up with the world-hopping Musashi, the two have to do everything from fighting monsters to helplessly listening while a village is slaughtered to fighting powerful foes on a literal field of bones. Not to mention at one point, an enemy(?) Servant decided to shove a hand into her belly and fiddle around with her guts. Ew. At least Ritsuka and Musashi managed to keep the two children they befriended safe, even if they were confronted with seemingly endless death and slaughter, and were able to defeat the powers behind the not!singularity at the cost of Musashi's life. But, as luck or fate would have it, Musashi would end up summoned to Chaldea as a Servant after, much to Ritsuka's delight.
Salem
Chaldea was getting close to wrapping up its operations, when suddenly the near-future observation lens Sheba goes berserk. As it turns out, a strange phenomenon has engulfed the area of Salem, Massachusetts, and in order to resolve it Ritsuka, Mash, and a select team of Servants are rayshifted in. There, they encounter Salem just as it was at the beginning of the infamous witch trials... Except, not exactly. Abigail Williams is defending Tituba, there's a strange albino girl name Lavinia Whateley, and soon Britain's infamous "Witchfinder General" shows up to take charge of matters. What's even more peculiar, however, is that Ritsuka and the others from Chaldea can't seem to recognize these discrepancies from the correct history, or at least if they do, the knowledge just doesn't stick. Thus, Ritsuka tries to fight a seemingly futile effort to curtail the accusations and executions, not just of people of the village, but even some of her Servants.
Turns out, everyone's just been playing into the hands of the Demon God Pillar running the peculiar singularity, in a ritual intended to summon an evil god from the abyss into the world, using Abigail as its vessel. Thankfully, barely, Ritsuka and the Servants manage to overcome even this, freeing Abby from the evil god's control, after which she chooses to learn how to properly use her newfound powers. With this, the singularity collapses and Ritsuka and the others are rayshifted one last time to return to Chaldea.
In addition to these singularities, as usual there were a number of odd events to spring up inbetween them:
Valentine's Day returns: Once again, the Servants decide to celebrate Valentine's Day... and this time the guys are getting into things too! Ritsuka ends up with far, FAR more chocolate and assorted return gifts than is healthy.
Gudaguda Meiji Restoration: Nobu and Okita are at it again! This time striking up a rivalry during the Meiji era. After the two have gotten that out of their system, they team up along with Ritsuka to put an end to the mini-singularity.
All the Statesmen: A strange adventure in the American frontier with a cute loli Paul Bunyan, and a peculiar and twisted version of Ritsuka acting as the final boss. Honestly, Ritsuka's still not sure this wasn't at least partly some kind of fever dream induced from eating months-old leftover chocolate.
Dead Heat Summer Race/Death Jail Summer Escape: There's a mini singularity and Ishtar has just the way to fix it! A special race between Servants to act as a ritual. Too bad they got caught and thrown into Medb's prison midway through, but luckily Ritsuka could still advise them from afar until they break out. Of course, things can never be easy, and Ritsuka and the others wind up having to fight a partially-manifested Bull of Heaven (it's... just one of its legs, actually) to destroy it and stop Ishtar's real plans. All in all a fun summer adventure with excitement, drama, and Ishtar getting her comeuppance in the end.
Return of Nerofest: The previous Nerofest went over so well, Nero's doing it again! It's literally just a big tournament again. Good way to
grind for matslet off steam.Himeji Castle War: Apparently, dropping a pyramid onto Castle Csetje wasn't enough, now Himeji Castle, home to the reclusive Osakabehime, has been added to the mix! Which naturally means Ritsuka and the party have to climb (fight) their way up and defeat the castle's giant mecha guardian. And Osakabe, who was apparently behind the whole thing. And her army of mecha. At least Mecha Eli-chan comes over to Ritsuka's side to help! And of course all is resolved in the end, minus the fact that the pyramid and Himeji Castle are still there. But did we mention there's mecha??
Updated Personality: Some of the things that come up, such as the need to possibly kill one person to save others, have already come up in Empatheias, so at this point there won't be any huge drastic changes. Mostly Ritsuka will be just a bit more weary emotionally from the things she's seen and done, a little more prone to bouts of self-doubt and negativity. While Chaldea always managed to pull through, after all, it was generally not without cost, and Ritsuka had a rougher time in these psuedo-singularities than she did in the earlier singularities. It won't be enough for an alignment change, but there's definitely a stronger presence of the despair/hope dynamic than there was before.
On the other hand, though, she's being taken from a point where as far as she's aware, Chaldea's mission is finally well and truly finished, the lingering loose ends all tied up. While in some ways it's sad, in others it's definitely a relief, and Ritsuka will be a bit less restless and have less of a pressing need to get back to Chaldea. At least for now.
Updated Abilities: None, really. She's probably learned a bit more about the fundamentals of magecraft, but she still couldn't cast a spell to save her life. And while her physical fitness is commented on in Shimousa, it's implied this isn't exactly new at this point, just a natural consequence of all the walking and hard work the various singularities have required, so no change to speak of there.
