Abigail WilliamsWP (アビゲイル・ウィリアムズWP, Abigeiru Wiriamuzu?), Class Name Foreigner (フォーリナー, Fōrinā?), is a Foreigner-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Abigail Williams is an avatar of Abigail of Salem manifesting in Chaldea. She has vague memories of the events of the Salem Subcategory Singularity, and her real self can occasionally control her telepathically.
Appearance[]
Abigail is a blonde, blue-eyed 12 year old girl.[1]
Personality[]
As a follower of the Puritan sect, Abigail is an innocent girl who respects God and never fails to give her thanks through prayer. Sensitive and naive, she is merely a girl of her age.[1] Being as polite as a lady, she strives to be kind to anybody and everybody, whoever they may be. Normally, an intelligent girl full of emotions, one who is frequently surprised and is often smiling. Although it acts contrary to the belief of honourable poverty, she also holds a curiosity appropriate for her age where she shows a strong interest even in foreign topics, novels and theatre. She has acquired a habit where, in under unknown situations, she comes to a stop to level-headedly think of and decide on what to do. But still, it is easy for her to make mistakes as a result of her rashness and of her worrying too much when it concerns her friends and family.
Abigail’s favourite food is pancakes. Wheat is a valuable item in the settlement grounds, and modern pancakes are seen as a great treat to her due to that.
Abigail is not very good at dealing with dogs barking.
Relationships[]
- Abigail Williams (Swimsuit)
- "Hmm... A Saint Graph this close to me. Ufufu, I've thought of a very good idea. Nah, it's nothing, Master. I can't wait until it's time to sleep──"[2]
- Katsushika Hokusai
- "A Foreigner like me, an incredible artist from Zipang, huh...! The vigor (she) draws with really is overwhelming! Eh? I'm not jealous or anything...~"[2]
- "An amazing painter as one would imagine!…Although I can say with confidence that…her facial profile while she’s in the midst of her work is awe-inspiring too; however……Was I getting the feeling that I have to work harder?"[1]
- "Once more, I think she’s an incredible person! Yes! Katsushika Hokusai! The works that person does by sliding her brush become dreams like that. A dream you can see while awake, right, a dream that comes true! At the street, even though she’s a Servant, she can fight evenly with mages and enemy monsters."[2]
- Katsushika Hokusai (Swimsuit)
- "Hokusai-san who is skilled with katana... Ah, no, it's just when Oei-san was young, she really loves this type of fictional novel called "Yomihon", so she often reads it to me during tea time! Since she reads it with such skillful motions mixed with earnest recitation, it looks like she is even more thrilled and excited than I am! Fufu!"[2]
- "That Hokusai is matching with me on a swimsuit! Could I really be this happy?! Ah, is it better if I call her “Oei” when she wears a swimsuit, Master? Fufu, Oei seems to be restless and can’t calm down when I have the looks of an Adept. I told her I’m not a nymph, but she said “The proof is that your celestial raiment doesn’t move!”. Fufu, Oei was a very cute person since she was young."[2]
- Yang Guifei
- "For example, she’s in Chaldea, right? The one that I occasionally felt as “sometimes something’s interfering with my dream powers”. Yang Guifei, yes, Yuuyuu. That person is connected to the fleeting town that surrounds Formalhaut. It’s from beyond this planet, a really amazing thing! She said she was “a consort of the emperor that the waiting maids refrain from”, though… If I have permission, I’d like to pay her a visit once."[2]
- Gilles de Rais
- "That Gilles de Rais-san in the black coat is really kind when it comes to me. I wonder why...?"[2]
- "The Gilles de Rais with a black overcoat? Yes, he’s a friendly person. It’s helpful that you warn me with words that don’t have double meaning. I want to borrow his prized book, and listen to stories about interesting mysteries. It’s still difficult, but I’m starting to understand what he says. Sometimes his stories change too much, and when it comes to the topic of offering sacrifices, he goes into the minutest details, and sometimes it’s a disgrace that it takes so long because he’s so specific."[2]
- David
- "Haa~... To think the valiant King David was that uninhibited gentleman... My faith is being shaken at its foundations... He is a good-natured person... When he’s playing on his harp."[2]
- "Day after day, the courageous King David tests me with strategies I couldn’t even imagine. My faith tends to be wavering ever since I left my hometown, and God is measuring it… probably. No, surely. Even though he’s saying, 'Heey, even though the Queen of Sheba SCORNS me for these, it’s no problem for you, yeah~?'… I’ll do my best."[1]
- "T-The brave king David... Please, irresponsible king David... I must have a proper talk with him once, yes! About God..., about the peace of mind..., about how he feels about Abishag, whose name he keeps saying easily..."[2]
- Thomas Edison
- "Massachusetts became a part of the federal state called America, right? Lion-san taught it to me. ...In the end, listening to that story took 6 hours."[2]
- Geronimo
- "I’m still scared of Geronimo-san... But, he looks like a very earnest person so I’d like to be able to have a talk with him eventually."[2]
- "When I met him for the first time, he was scary, but… even so, I became familiar with him as a friend! That’s my commemoration day!"[1]
- Queen of Sheba
- "I have a chat with Tituba...no, with the Queen of Sheba frequently. But, when I ask about King Solomon, she immediately dodges the question. “From this point on, I’ll be charging you”, just what is that. Fufu, I’m sure she was embarrassed."[2]
- Mysterious Heroine XX
- "Ufufuh, Heroine XX. When you get hungry late at night and creep into the kitchen, we’ll bump heads 80% of the times. Teasing us while slurping noodles together, going wild and calming down, relaxing your face with glittering eyes... It’s so noisy I never get tired of it."[2]
- EMIYA / Jaguar Man / Artoria Pendragon
- "“It smells soft and strange...”? Fufu, that’s because of this! Pancake Bowl, also called Pancake-don! Jaguar Man taught me and I tried making it! She said it was a traditional food from Zipang! It was originally okonomiyakiWP on top of a rice bowl, though... Jaguar Man said “What, it won’t change much with pancakes ”! But Jaguar herself was dragged away by the bowman EMIYA and His Majesty Artoria, who appeared abruptly, and she disappeared immediately... For some reason both of them had an indescribable expression... Right, just like Master’s right now... H-How about Master tries one too?"[2]
- Edward Teach
- “It seems that we were born in the same year; that’s a wonderful thing, don’t you agree?! Can I call you Teddy? …Wait, please, I’m begging you to stop; for you to suddenly convulse and hit your head against the wall hard enough for blood to come running out… you could’ve sweetly smiled and declined. Um, I’m sorry…”
- (This moment just now is what will secretly remain in their hearts. A moment between people who know the same ocean.)[1]
- Paul Bunyan
- "Honey-colored pancakes alliance!"[1]

A Dream of a Thousand Stars and One Hundred Nights[]
The Abigail of Salem uses the alignment of the stars to connect with the Abigail of Chaldea. Having foreseen Ritsuka's journey into Imaginary Number Space, where even she would not be able to reach, Abigail attempts to take Ritsuka away, only to be stopped by Geronimo and Nezha.[7]
Ritsuka later finds her in the room of Abigail of Chaldea, bringing an offering of pancakes to console her. In tears, Abigail admits that she misses Lavinia greatly, prompting Ritsuka to share that there is also someone they miss. The conceptual entities of the Sanson who died in Salem and Lavinia watch over them as they cry themselves to sleep, briefly meeting the Gentleman as he emerges to collect Abigail.
Abilities[]
Combat[]
Mash Kyrielight explains that Foreigners can turn the laws of the World on their head, however, Abigail has kindly agreed to keep herself on check to help Chaldea with their mission.[5] This is likely the reason why Abigail usually manifests in her first Ascension.[citation needed]
- First Ascension: Oei Katsushika claims that despite Abigail Williams and her both being Foreigners, they aren't cut from the same cloth. Due to this, she is confident she can handle Summer Medb and her soldiers on her own. To her surprise, it took the combined efforts of Summer Jeanne d'Arc Alter, Ushiwakamaru, Abigail, and Oei to match Medb's army.[3]
- Second Ascension
- Third Ascension: Abigail's ultimate form. During the events of Imaginary Scramble, she was capable of voluntarily transforming into her Summer Saint Graph.[6]

Forms and Alternate Versions[]
Swimsuit[]
Dreams are true. Hatching from the swaying sword If it becomes a cage of truth that embraces and nurtures a hump. I'm a dreamy Adeptus, A servant of God the Father.
At the end of the 17th century. In the Massachusetts that was under British rule. There, a 12-year-old Puritan girl, Abigail Williams was the central figure of the gruesome incident known as the "Salem Witch Trials" where a large number of villagers were accused and hanged.
Abigail, who was summoned as a Servant, due to several factors overlapping, established a connection with an evil god from outer space────"The All-in-One and One-in-All" whose existence was yet to be proven in our universe.
The young girl wields the mighty power of Those Who Descend (Foreigners) as the "Gate of Dreams", the faithful vessel of an Outer God.
The modest wish such a girl conceals within her heart is to spend a quiet and graceful Summer holiday with the Master...
"...That's what a vacation is like, no? It would surely be something unavoidable if the hidden desires that have piled up day after day were to overflow..."
Those who crawl out from outer space──── Those Who Descend (Foreigners) are heretical and foreign to the Holy Grail War.
They say those who are blessed are obligated to wield their power for the sake of the world. However, the young girl does not agree. You can only see the madness in those who proclaim that this is just.
They also say that it is the duty of the knowledgeable to follow the road to revelation. However, the young girl does not believe in that. Instead of the wisdom slumbering the graveyard, there is more worth in the zeal of the visitor banging on the gate.
They say a king is among many people yet they are in solitude. Even so, the young girl does not wish for such a thing. She wishes to become the resort for a heart that refuses peace and repose.
The have-nots. Those without knowledge. Those who can not come in contact with others. She wants to guide the visitors hesitating at the boundary of the world that is divided like a beach ravaged by the waves.
Those Who Descend are heretical and foreign. Even these threats will spin the future that is interwoven with the people.
Personality[]
Although, in essence, her Saint Graph and personality are one and the same, based on her Ascension, her character and preferences differ in a complex and diverse manner.
- First Ascension: If we were to liken her ascensions to three sisters, this ascension would be the eldest sister. Contrary to her terrifying appearance, she treats the Master with a magnanimous attitude. Sometimes she would also maturely relent when she needs to, so, unexpectedly, she might be someone with common sense??[8]
- Second Ascension: In terms of the three sisters analogy, she would be the middle sister. With an earnest personality, she is the closest to the Puritan girl that is Abigail. She's brimming with curiosity and quite hardworking. She's also meticulous and reliable.[8]
- Third Ascension:In terms of the three sisters analogy, she would be the youngest sister. One with a somewhat childish innocence. Consequently, that purity is adjoined with madness. A new face that Abigail hasn't shown before. A boon due to the magic of Summer.[8]
The name of the black cat she takes along is "Nosh". The grey cat is "Luthar". When they are out of Abigail's sight, they are always getting along well with each other as they try to kill one another.
Relationships[]
- Abigail Williams (Chaldea)
- "There are times when the another me is unpleasant and I can’t look at her. Truly self-hatred. There isn’t a better way to reflect on yourself than this, though... I’m a kid after all."[2]
- "While she has doubts too, the me with earnest feelings may be stronger than the me that became more intelligent after being struck with knowledge... As Master’s Servant, I wonder if I haven’t become weaker?"[2]
- "The Foreigner Abigail... She’s the same me, so if we exchanged our Western clothes and swimsuit, we would be completely undistinguishable, and Master would be in trouble. Well, Master would easily understand...? Hu~m, in that case, which Abby am I? If you don’t give a correct answer, we may punish you a little."[2]
- Nosh and Luthar
- "The black cat that often rests on my shoulder is called "Nosh", and the gray, kinda fat one is "Luthar". They are both my familiars I encountered in the dreamworld. Nosh is very elegant and handsome, while Luthar is super smart. That said, I'm a bit troubled by the fact that they keep sneaking away someplace I don't know to fight each other. I feel the need to pray to God. Yeah...is there some sort of reliable cat god who can help, you think?"[8]
- Ozymandias/Nitocris
- "I think Nosh and Luthar have taken an interest in the little sphinxes that follow Your Highness Ozymandias around. Awlad, was it? They're so mysterious and adorable. My favorite has to be...well of course, it's Medjed!"[8]
- Archetype Earth
- "What's wrong, Luthar? Hm-hm? You went to the very end of the dreamworld and found a very short but stout little princess in the form of a cat-like creature, who was spending her days cat-fighting with Mash? A-aha... I see, I guess even such an incoherent dream must exist within that boundless world."[8]
- Kyokutei Bakin
- "I don't like dogs who bark at nothing all the time. I just can't understand why they are like that. I guess the dogs with Bakin are a bit different, though. Still, a friendly meeting with Gilles de Rais' sea monsters would be way more fun."[8]

Comments from Illustrator[]
Abigail Williams[]
"I tried to design Abigail in a cutely grotesque style for her three stages where they have the look that the things that have been wrapped up would momentarily swell up before they would burst open. The butterflies and ribbons represent lost souls, and they are of the impression that they are closely coiling around Abby-chan’s surroundings. The butterflies will become moths as her Foreigner level rises during her last Ascension." (Kouhaku Kuroboshi) [1]
Abigail Williams (Summer)[]
"With this design I tried to do something like "something human-like clad in a veil of human form". I designed the buns in Abby-chan's hair as heads wearing veils, to give more of a "what am I even looking at?" feeling to her overall appearance. Her staffs are the hinges to a gate. The butterfly connection was already a common thing for her. The jacket shown in her third Ascension is actually a different one from the Jersey jacket she wore in her traveling outfit. I was happy to see that gag made it into Aoi Ohmori's manga adaptation, as well." (Kouhaku Kuroboshi)[8]
