Caren Fujimura (カレン・フジムラ?) is an AI managing Akihabara in the Mosaic City in Fate/Requiem. She is part of the Caren Series.
Profile[]
Background[]
In addition to being Akihabara's management AI, Caren is also a history teacher for public classes that are open for all ages to attend. Erice Utsumi looks up to her as a mentor,[1] and mother figure.[2] Caren is Erice's boss who gives her missions for the Nightwatch.[3]
Appearance[]
Like all of the Caren Series, her appearance is based on Caren Hortensia.
Erice describes Caren as having "a slender build with voluptuous Hispanic curves". She wears no skirt or pants, leaving her underwear exposed, which everyone finds strange except Erice who thinks it's cool.[1]
Personality[]
While normally composed and slightly haughty, she becomes anxious and speaks with an oddly forced tone when speaking with Chitose Manazuru.[1]
Her tastes in fashion and food have rubbed off on Erice.[4]
Role[]
Fate/Requiem[]
The Boy Among the Stars[]
When Erice shows Caren the strange boy she found, Caren is unable to deduce either his Class or his True Name, even after checking her databases and conferring with the other Carens. Deciding to temporarily give him the moniker The Little Prince (TBD) (星の王子さま(仮)?), she asks Erice to continue watching over him. Caren's superior and Erice's grandmother Chitose Manazuru then arrives, having been called by Caren, and after seeing him also charges Erice with watching him.[1]
Caren is killed by Anubis and his companion during Nzambi's attack on the Grail Tournament.[2] As she died she told Erice that the Holy Grail War was not yet over, and if Erice wished to fight, she must go to Fuyuki.[5]
After Caren Fujimura's death, control of the Caren Series was given to Caren Himuro and management of Akihabara was distributed equally among the rest of the Caren Series on an interim basis.[2]
Other appearances[]
In Fate/Grand Order Erice mentions Caren in the 2021 Valentine's Day event. When Erice meets Caren C Hortensia she mistakes her for Caren Fujimura. During Erice's Valentine scene, she says that Caren told her that on Valentine's Day girls are supposed to hold chocolate in their mouth while naked and wrapped in only a ribbon.[6]
Abilities[]
She owns the Shroud of Magdalene. After her death it was given to Makki.
She is able to remotely run searches on databases and communicate with the rest of the Caren Series, and can do these in the background at the same time that she's talking to someone right in front of her.[1]
Development[]
In Capsule Servant, there is a baby version of Caren Hortensia who is adopted into the Fujimura family at the end of the story line.
