Yang Guifei[]
She who came to be known as the source of the Tang Dynasty’s downfall and the rebellion that set the empire ablaze, Guifei. From a cute town girl of childhood to a beautiful bewitching spoiled princess, a foreigner of changing appearances and personalities. Hidden inside are the blinding flames of a malignant god who resides within a star….?
"My beauty is for the Empire, my love is for the Emperor, and my heart for my relatives. Though as that may be, the sound of my lute, the happiness from my songs and dance are only mine, and not for others."
Within the 300 years of history that the Tang Dynasty lived, she became the consort of Emperor Xuanzong who ruled during its peak period. Xuanzong was the grandson of Wu Zetian. As this is the case, we can say that Wu Zetian is her grandmother-in-law, but they seem to have some issues.
From a young age, as a result of her beauty she became withdrawn because of all the scum and monsters she attracted to her. However, on the other hand, when she and her siblings lost their parents and were wandering the streets, they were able to be saved due to her beautiful appearance. Since then, she decided to proactively use her beauty as a tool to become a source of happiness for others and gained a newfound sense of confidence and pride in herself.

Relationships[]
- Wu Zetian
- "Waaahhh! I was mercilessly tortured after I accidentally called her Nightless Nai Nai... She said, "Did I hear wrong? Shouldn't it be Nightless Jie Jie?" So scary! Saws are scary!!!" [1]
- "Fuuya Jiějie is my great Emperor's esteemed grandmother! Even though we are not blood-related, I believe we are a proper family. She works very hard and even managed to become the emperor. When she's angry, she's really scary and makes you fear for your life, but that can be quite addictive too... No, no, no, Yuuyuu will also work hard from now on so she will approve of me!"[2]
- Qin Shi Huang
- "Kyah! It's the great Qin Shi Huang!!! They are truly the emperors of all emperors!!! To think that the great First Emperor who built a hot spring retreat after frolicking with a goddess... Come again? The Great Wall? What's that? (Sigh) I wonder if we could have a hot spring here too..."[1]
- "The emperor among emperors! Though I say that, I feel ashamed of myself since I do not know everything about that reign of his. The legend that Huaqing PoolWP, a famous complex of hot springs that I also loved, was created by the great Qin Shi Huang to flirt with a Celestial Maiden, is quite famous. Unexpectedly, we had a connection through hot springs!"[2]
- Xuanzang Sanzang
- "The great Xuanzang Sanzang!? Yes, I know her! She's the great monk who traveled all the way to India to bring back a ton of sutras to fill up the southern tower in Chang'an, right? The previous Imperial Highness thought highly of her, and she is the venerable person who elevated the Capital of Chang'an's prestige as well as becoming the cornerstone for bringing peace to the Tang dynasty! But then...(sniff)...I-I ended up ruining the nation... (Sob)"[1]
- Li BaiWP
- "Li Bai-san was a complete drunkard, but he was also an amazing poet and a somewhat elusive personage. It's about time I ask for his forgiveness for materializing him as "Imaginary Li Bai-san" when I'm dead drunk...just kidding. Please, at least make it clear whether you resent me for the case where you got banished from the imperial court or you're just having fun teasing me~."[2]
- Abe no NakamaroWP
- "The envoy sent to Tang, Abe no Nakamaro-kun is Li Bai-san's drinking buddy! E~verything I know about Japan was taught to me by Abe-kun! I see, even though he worked so hard, he couldn't return to his birthplace... I pray that at least his soul managed to return to Japan."[2]
- Kuukai DaishiWP
- "The Kuukai Daishi who visited Tang is a very famous personage in Japan known as Koubou Daishi, right? He is the number one Servant this Yuuyuu would want to come to Chaldea! After all, he is an expert when it comes to opening hot springs! ...Eh? "Daishi-sama is an existence that has attained immortality so he might not be a Heroic Spirit"? No way~!?"[2]
- Tamamo-no-Mae
- " Tamamo-no-Mae... Ever since we've met, you've been giving me strange glances... Yes, I completely understand... I understand that I'm never to mention the word "Daji." And as we both carry the same type of sins... ...Huh? ...Now you're shaking your head... Are you trembling with excitement? What could that mean...? You're not trying to twist the truth so that you can convince people that Yang Guifei was actually the Daji...are you? Hmmm..." [1]
- Tamamo-no-Mae/Taigong Wang/Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya
- "Could it be that I am suspected of being Daji-san's reincarnation or that I'm someone related to her? I-it's true that we share the intense common feature of being "country-ruiners"... Yes...I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry."[2]
- BB Pele
- "Master? Master!? Oh no, no! That person is bad news. I'm talking about that Luluhawa BB who keeps saying "aloha!" Whether she's the real deal or she's borrowing someone else's form is beside the point... Just don't ask any questions. If Master's not careful, your SAN will no longer be able to END this world... B-b-b-but! Rest assured. Worst-case, I will personally burn her up. I'll go ahead and burn up all of Chaldea on trash day! Leave it to me!"[1]
- "BB-san is a curious being. My instincts tell me we need to burn her to a crisp with high-calorie genuinely strong flames! ...Such a sense of purpose is driving me, but, hmm, I wonder what's this Nyarl-y sensation? It's different from when I want to pester Fuuya Jiějie...could it be...a heartfelt feeling of sentiment for a friend?"[2]
- Katsushika Hokusai
- "There's something bothering me, Master. This artist, Katsushika Hokusai, who keeps following me around... She always keeps a certain distance while she grinds ink... In the morning, at night...when I'm at the cafeteria, at the bath, and even when I'm in the toi...ahem... Uh-huh... She wants to build a relationship with me because we're both Foreigners...? I honestly doubt that. She's probably like Li Bai, thinking she can do anything at all as long as it's in the name of her art." [1]
- Abigail Williams
- "Miss Abby. Yes, she's taught me a lot about Chaldea. Hm? You're asking if she's acting like a bossy sister-in-law? Not at all. She's very endearing to me. Her golden hair and blue eyes remind of the Persian maidservant who served me when I was in the inner palace. That girl was also brazen like Abby, and she would never mince her words... She often ridiculed and kicked me around, calling me chubby... (Grumble, grumble...)"[1]
- Cleopatra
- " I-I'm one of the Three Great Beauties of the world!? Th-that's quite the honor...but I feel bad for the other two being associated with a country bumpkin like me... Oh...but maybe I should consider myself lucky. I'm going to use this golden opportunity to exchange information on beauty with the great Queen Cleopatra. Yes, that's right! Pearls are a drink!" [1]
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri
- " Ah...it was great...that was such a wonderful ensemble... I joined in a trio that consisted of a piano, violin, and my pipa. I can now rest in peace. Please go ahead and kill me while I'm still floating in this wonderful bliss. Whaaa...? I can play again tomorrow? ...That's wonderful... Then, would you care to join, Master? How about you be the vocalist?" [1]

Abilities[]
Yang Guifei makes use of her instruments in conjunction with the powers of the Outer God connected to her to fight her enemies. She can play them to summon apparitions, who were once her attendants who used to serve at Yang Guifei's lunar mansion's inner palace, where she calls the said ladies-in-waiting as flame spirits or "Fire Vampires", which assault the enemy with blue flame and make use of these blue flames to empower her on physical attacks or engulf her biwa in them to use as a melee weapon. As she gets closer to the Outer God, she is able to fire laser beams from her flutes and also link them together to use as a whip. She can also play her biwa to rain down blue flame upon her enemies, as well as manifest a miniature blue sun to launch at her enemies.
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Existence Outside the Domain (EX Rank): The Descender from Outer Space, from the Void. One that was enthralled by an Evil God, dancing and strumming while adorning their body with a scale of that authority.
- Divinity (B Rank): Having become the precursor of a higher-order existence lurking within Outer Space, she was adorned with strong Divinity. Though it's as if it had no effect at all on Yang Guifei, who reigns as a symbol of beauty in Human History...Perhaps her compatibility with the Evil God was way too good.
Personal Skills[]
- Affection for Three Thousand in One (A Rank): The emperor's love that was to be lavished on the three thousand beauties waiting on him in the harem was received by Yang Guifei alone and she wouldn't relinquish it even after her death.
- Consort of Devastating Beauty (A Rank): The fate decided for Yang Guifei. The femme fatale of calamity who corrupted and ruined a nation.
- Sun of a Calamitous Star (A Rank): Like how the wick of a candle burns until its very end, it is an indestructible aspect that continues to shine, unceasing even within the maelstrom of a rebellion.
Noble Phantasm[]
Her Noble Phantasm is Marital Vows of Rainbow Skirts and Feather Robes. The star of the abyss secretly recites a song that can not reach the ears of mortals.
Development[]
Creation and Conception[]
Yang Guifei was designed by Kuroboshi Kouhaku in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Meteo Hoshizora in Fate/Grand Order.
Comment from Illustrator[]
"I designed her with an emphasis on the gap created by advancing from the modest first and second ascensions to the third ascension. In exchange for making the body modest, I tried to make the silhouette flashy with the biwa and flute. In fact, there are various theories, such as that she was plump or that she had an outstanding figure so I took the middle ground and made only her thighs thicker." (Kuroboshi Kouhaku)[2]
