Märchen Meines Lebens: A Tale Just For You (貴方のための物語, Anata no Tame no Monogatari?) is the unpolished manuscript of Hans Christian Andersen's autobiography, "The Fairy Tale of My Life". It was “the supreme commentary of all my works" according to him, who once stated that "the majority of what I write are projections of myself." It is a compilation that is a record of his way of life, the author Andersen's other self in a way, as it is a manuscript with "For an author, all works are alternate selves of that very person" as its core.[2]
Every single page of the document takes the magical power provided by all the people who love the author known as Andersen. They take the shape of "the Andersen that the readers felt they saw", and having become that personification of Andersen, they take action as that self. However, the true worth of the Noble Phantasm is not in this ability, but its ability to make "a single human" grow to "a single leading character" in the way an author does so by bringing forth a new story.[2] It is demonstrated by writing down in a copy of the book the observations of the person and their ideal life; what their life ought to be.[3]
He must wipe the book clean, and then he begins rewriting from the beginning. The result, the extent of growth, depends on how far he can progress in the manuscript. Completing a few pages will result in only a few coincidences occurring around them, but completing all the pages and finishing the manuscript will allow for the person centered on in the story to be as they imagine themselves, growing into their highest form.[2] The book is established as a Noble Phantasm if the workmanship is good, and his companion will grow into the form in accordance with what was written in the book.[3] Doing so allows Kiara Sessyoin to become the earth mother and reach a state close to that of a True Daemon after consuming Passionlip, Meltryllis, BB, and Sakura. However, she is ultimately defeated due to her lack of understanding that the girls' love toward Hakuno Kishinami is far more powerful than her selfish wish to become the embodiment of all desires.
Though it appears omnipotent as a Noble Phantasm, it is in fact very difficult to rely on, of course not mentioning that it takes time to write. Andersen himself once said, "There is no finale besides death that makes humans happy." The gloomy philosophy and negative view of life that is firmly lodged in his heart, the resignation that "there is no way things will go that well", and the pride he carries as an author which cannot allow a convenient development, all do not allow someone to reach their "ideal self" easily. The main factors depend on the workmanship of the "story" and Andersen's own motivation. It is impossible for "that person to reach their ideal self" without considerable lust having been incited in Andersen; otherwise, there is a risky consequence when the Noble Phantasm is being written without Andersen being motivated, such as that it might end up being a poor piece of work.[2][3]
In Fate/Grand Order: Fujimaru Ritsuka Doesn't Get It, at Ritsuka Fujimaru's behest (and a month of holidays) along William Shakespeare's prodding, the Noble Phantasm is used by Andersen to grant Mash Kyrielight a plethora of buffs (including Ignore Evade) to combat against the enemies, but also causes Mash to receive a Stun demerit as well, much to Fujimaru's shock.

The unpolished manuscript of Andersen's autobiography, The Fairy Tale of My Life. To Andersen who said, "Generally, what I write is projections of myself," The Fairy Tale of My Life is the culminating record of his way of life, which he compiled as "the supreme annotation of all of my works."
To put it another way, it is Andersen's other self. Although everything they produce is their other self to an author, this written manuscript forms the nucleus of that other self.
Each and every page of this book, through the magical energy provided by the people who love the author known as Andersen, takes the shape of "the Andersen that the readers see," and can take action as that other self.
But that is not the true worth of this Noble Phantasm. Just as an author produces stories, by wiping this book clean and starting over from the beginning, it becomes possible to raise "a single human" to "a single leading actor."
The result... the extent of growth increases the further the manuscript progresses. With only several pages, only a few coincidences will occur, but with all the pages, in the event of the manuscript's completion, the person who was the subject of the manuscript will grow to their "supreme form," just as they imagined.
Just looking at it, it appears to be an omnipotent Noble Phantasm, but Andersen's personal gloomy philosophy of life, which is deeply rooted in his heart, that "there is no finale that brings happiness to humans besides death"; his resignation that "there is no way that everything will turn out well"; and finally, the pride he holds as an author, which will not permit such a convenient development, will not allow someone to attain their "ideal form" so easily.
Of course, the craftsmanship of the "story" also changes depending on Andersen's motivation. Basically, attaining "the supreme form of that person" is impossible without a subject that incites considerable passion in him.
The Three Great Authors
The great writers of fairy tales whose names reverberate throughout the world... Grimm, Aesop, Andersen... He is one of them, but he is the only one among them who wrote original works.
Compared to the others, who were editors and collectors who compiled folklore, legends, and the like, he is the only one who, by producing new stories, was an "author" in the truest sense of the word.
His masterpieces include: "The Little Match Girl," "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Snow Queen," and "The Ugly Duckling," as well as others.
Also, it is said that the model for the "girl" in the "The Little Match Girl" was Andersen's mother, who worked without pause in order to send Andersen to higher-level schooling and left the world while poor and having never once experienced pleasure.
Human Observation
Andersen's personal skill. Rank A.
The skill to observe and understand people. It is not simply observing but also hypothesizing the livelihoods and preferences, all the way to their life, of people he may not even known the names of. This requires a tremendous memory that does not forget easily.
Though Andersen is known as a pessimist, the lies at its foundation is not rejection but understanding. The only thing he can do is spin stories, but it is for that reason that he continued to swear that only with what he speaks of will he be more sincere than anyone else.
Though he criticizes the way BB and the Alter Egos go about love as "unsightly," "in bad taste," and "conceited," at every opportunity, underneath that is a profound understanding and identification, as well as a reprimand. It goes without saying that most of the abusive language he spills onto them is not to completely deny them but to serve candid advice filled with warnings.
...Well, that he hates woman is also an unchangeable truth.01 - 貴方のための物語(メルヒェン・マイネスレーベンス)
アンデルセンが書いた自伝、『我が生涯の物語』の生原稿。
『我が生涯の物語』は“私が書いたものはその大半が私自身の投影である”と述べたアンデルセンをして“私のあらゆる作品における至高の注釈”と述べた、彼の集大成にしてその生き様の記録である。
言ってしまえば、アンデルセンという作家の分身―――
作家にとって作品はすべてその当人の分身であるわけだが――の核となる書稿である。
この書の1ページ1ページが、アンデルセンという作家を愛する人々から供給される魔力によって“読者の見たがっているアンデルセン”の姿を取り、その分身となって行動できる。
だが、この宝具の真価はそんなものではない。
作家が物語を作り出すように、この本を白紙に戻し一から執筆する事で、“ひとりの人間”を“ひとりの主役”に育てる事が可能となる。
その効果……成長の度合いは原稿が進めば進むほど高まる。
数ページ程度ではほんの少しの偶然しか起こせないが、全ページ……脱稿したあかつきには、その対象となった人物が思い描く通りの、“最高の姿”にまで成長させる。
見ようによっては全能に思える宝具だが、アンデルセン自身の“人は究極的に死以外では幸せになれない”といった心に根深く宿る暗鬱な人生哲学と“物事はそう上手く行きはしない”という諦観、そして、彼の持つ作家としてのプライドが都合の良い展開を許容できず、そう簡単には“理想の姿”には到達しない。
当然、“物語”の出来もアンデルセンのやる気によって変わってくる。
“その人間にとって究極の姿”に至るには、よほど情欲を刺激する対象でなければ不可能、という事だ。
02 - 三大作家
世界にその名の鳴り響く三大童話作家……
グリム、イソップ、アンデルセン……のひとりであり、その中で唯一の創作作家。
他が民話や伝説などを編纂した編集者や収集家であるのに対し、彼だけが新たに物語を作る本当の意味での“作家”だった。
代表作に『マッチ売りの少女』『人魚姫』『裸の王様』『雪の女王』『みにくいアヒルの子』等がある。
また、『マッチ売りの少女』における『少女』は、アンデルセンを進学させるために働き通し、貧しいまま、何の楽しみもなくこの世を去った、彼の母親がモデルと言われている。
03 - 人間観察
アンデルセンの固有スキル。ランクはA。
人々を観察し、理解する技術。
ただ観察するだけでなく、名前も知らない人々の生活や好み、人生までを想定し、これを忘れない記憶力が重要とされる。
厭世家で知られるアンデルセンだが、その根底にあるものは拒絶ではなく理解である。
彼にできる事は物語を紡ぐ事だけだが、だからこそ、誰よりも語る事だけに真摯であろうと誓い続けた。
◆
事あるごとにBBやアルターエゴたちの愛の在り方を「醜い」「悪趣味」「ひとりよがり」と批判していたが、その裏にあったものは深い理解と指摘、そして叱責である。
彼がこぼしていた罵詈雑言の数々は彼女たちを全否定してのものではなく、忠告をこめた苦言だったのは言うまでもない。
……まあ、女性嫌いなのも動かぬ事実だったろうが。Skills High-Speed Aria [E]
A skill that hastens magic incantations. In his case, it seems to give a small benefit to his writing speed rather than his magic.
"The speed at which I write is slow. Before that, I basically have no motivation so there's no way I'd write professionally!"
says the person himself.
Innocent Monster [D]
An indication of the extent to which gossip has distorted the truth, without concern for the actual person's will or appearance.
In Andersen's case, it is "the curse of the reader." Having become too famous as a writer of fairy tales, Andersen's original personality is being painted over by the image of a writer of fairy tales.
Andersen, who has materialized as a Servant, is having his limbs eroded by the images of fairy tales that represent him. It's hidden by his western-style clothing, the skin underneath is afflicted by merman scales, match burns, and frostbite, and when he speaks, his throat is sliced with intense pain.
Item Creation [C]
The ability to construct various implements through magecraft. While he does not know magecraft, by putting his Noble Phantasm to practical use, it seems he can more or less produce what can be found in his literary works.
It appears his specialty item is "a love letter that conveys your feelings, 100%," but considering Andersen's own experience with love, although not impossible, it's hard to request.
Again, when he was alive, he had a strange habit:
"Isn't it possible for me to be mistaken for dead when I'm sleeping and be buried?"
was his fear and it is said that he was so overwhelmed with anxiety that he always had a note with, "I am not dead," written on it on his body.01 - 高速咏唱 [E]
魔術詠唱を早める技術。彼の場合、魔術ではなく原稿の進みに多少の恩恵があるようだ。
「俺の出筆スピードは遅いぞ。そもそも基本的にやる気がないので執筆なんざしないがな!」とは本人の弁。
02 - 無辜の怪物 [D]
本人の意思や姿とは関係なく、風評によって真相をねじ曲げられたものの深度を指す。
アンデルセンの場合は“読者の呪い”である。
童話が有名になりすぎ、アンデルセン本人の性格が童話作家のイメージによって塗りつぶされてしまった。
サーヴァントとして現れたアンデルセンの手足は、彼を代表する童話のイメージに侵食されている。
洋服で隠してはいるが、その下の肌は人魚の鱗やマッチのヤケド、凍傷に侵され、喉は喋るごとに激痛を刻んでいる。
03 - 道具作成 [C]
魔術により様々な道具を作り上げる能力。
魔術は修得していないものの、宝具を応用した詩文により多少の作成はできるようだ。
得意なアイテムは『100パーセント想いが伝わる恋文』らしいが、アンデルセン本人の恋愛歴を考えるととてもではないがお願いできない。
◆
また、生前の彼には妙なクセがあり、“眠っている時、死亡したと間違われて埋葬されるのではないか?”と恐れ、不安のあまり、つねに“死んでません”と書いた手紙を身につけていたという。Setting Personal Background I
A real person. Born 1805, died 1875 of liver cancer. Now, he is one of the three great authors, but half of his life was full of setbacks and suffering.
Born as the son of a cobbler, he aspired to be an actor but gave up without showing any results. After that, he aimed to become a poet but received harsh criticism. Finally, the book he published at his own expense began to sell decently well, and using that money, he set out on a trip outside the country.
His name-making work, "The Improvisatore," which had the inspiration he found abroad as its source, was finally acknowledged by the world. He was thirty.
Thereafter, he shifted to being a writer of fairy tales, but he clearly became a writer of fairy tales because those works were appreciated more than his more freely written works, meaning it only caused him pain.
As if to represent that, his fairy tales are full of naturalistic elements: violence and misfortune, poverty, and finally, are painted in a literary style that sees death as salvation.
Borrowing the appearance of fairy tales, he continued to depict the grief of being desperately poor and the hopelessness of how death was the only escape from that. ...While masking all the feelings swirling in his chest with the beautiful presentation of his composition.
Still, even after he became famous, he lived out his life as a bachelor, not associating with women. According to one theory, it seems there was someone he had feelings for, but due to high pride and a complex regarding his own appearance, he missed the chance to confess countless times.
He died of liver cancer at the age of 70. It is thought that he died grasping a letter from his first love which he always had on his person.
Andersen as summoned by the Moon Cell manifested, of all things, as he was as a boy before he became famous.
His alignment is Lawful Neutral. He has a introverted, self-assured, and passive personality. As a dour, pessimistic poet, he has no intention of being liked by others, and as it no longer has any worth for him to discover, he lacks any intention of enjoying life. Andersen does not desire anything from the Holy Grail. The cause is probably that he didn't attain even one of the things he desired when he was alive.
"This is assuming that life has value. Most of it is probably lower than people's delusions!"
he says, acting as if he hates everything in the world.
"But, well, while I hate the world, it is not as if I detest it. If there is something worth loving, then it would be fine to one again light the firewood in the hearth of frozen affection."
...Truly, what a bothersome man.
Personal Background II ("Blank Page" before clearing the CCC route)
"I will depict your life. You are truly the crystallization of the ugliness that is women. It is a story that makes me want to vomit everything."
Though Andersen always criticizes Kiara from beside her, he is not [the PC's] ally either. That is just the manifestation of the impartiality that distinctive to him. As Andersen is methodical like an author, being helpful is his true nature. First of all, if one does not think to entertain the readers, to serve the readers, then one is not fit to be a writer.
Andersen is hardened as a pessimist, but he will not laugh at the efforts of people who decide "let's live correctly" and "let's achieve this all our power".
Because that is what he once dreamed of, the form of a society that wished to be like that.
The reason Andersen advised [the PC] who was trying to resolve the incident, even while telling them, "Your actions are futile. Just leave those girls alone," in a flabbergasted manner, and never delivered definite repudiation against Kiara who was causing the situation to deteriorate, even while cursing her by saying, "Greedy, impudent, and on top of that, a liar! Only the demon in a fairy tale could be as unsightly as you!", is because both [the PC] and Kiara were earnestly "living their lives with everything they had."
In the end.
"A final light (sentence) for that unrewarded life."
That is this Servant's foundation.
Andersen who, though he was a world-famous author, did not attain even one of the things he desired. The writer of fairy tales who, while speaking of love, never once attained it. To him, a story about "a life where one struggles then disappears without being compensated" is what should be told. Humans who become happy easily are the same as scenery to him. They can just be happy of their own accord.
"I want to give a final light to the lives of people who were abandoned by even God," is the nucleus of Andersen's soul.
If you come to a stop on the final path, if you have the opportunity to turn around--you should be able to see a fragment of this Servant's truth.01 - 人物背景Ⅰ
実在の人物。1805年生、1875年に肝臓癌にて没。
今でこそ三大作家のひとりだが、その半生は挫折と苦悩に満ちている。
靴職人の息子に生まれ、役者を志すも芽は出ず諦める。
その後は詩人を目指すも評価はさんざんであった。
ようやく自費出版した本がそれなりに売れ、その費用で国外旅行に出発。
旅行にて得たインスピレーションを元に、出世作『即興詩人』にてようやく世に認められる事となる。
30歳の時であった。
以降、童話作家に転向するが、その在り方は明らかにより自由な創作が認められるから童話作家になった、と自虐するようなものだった。
それを象徴するかのように、彼の童話は性に満ち、暴力と不幸、貧困、そして死こそを救済と見る作風に彩られている。
彼は童話にその姿を借りて、ひたすら貧しさへの嘆きとそこからの脱出には死しかないという絶望を描き続けた。
……その美麗な文章表現で、自らの胸に渦巻く想いすべてを覆い隠しながら。
また、高名になった後も女性との交際はなく、生涯独身。
一説によると想う相手はいたようだが、プライドの高さと自らの容姿へのコンプレックスで幾度となく告白の機会を逃したとも。
70歳にて肝臓癌にて死去。
肌身離さず身につけていた、初恋の相手からの手紙を握っての死だったとされる。
◆
ムーンセルにて召喚されたアンデルセンはあろうことか、有名になる前の少年の姿で現れた。
アライメントは秩序・中立。
性格は内向的、強気、受動的。
根暗で厭世的な詩人で、他人に好かれる気がなく、また、自分にも価値を見いだせなくなっているため、人生を楽しむ、という考えが欠如している。
アンデルセンは聖杯に何も求めていない。
生前、望むものは何一つ手に入らなかった事が原因だろう。
「人生の価値があるとしてもだ。
そんなものはたいてい、人間が夢想するものより下だろうよ」
と、このように世の中すべてを嫌っている言動である。
「だがまあ、
世を嫌っているだけで憎んでいるワケでもなし。
愛するに足るものがあれば、凍りついた愛情という暖炉に、もう一度マキをくべてもいいだろうさ」
……まったく面倒くさい男である。
02 - 人物背景Ⅱ
「おまえの人生を描こう。
おまえこそ、女そのものといえる醜さの結晶。
反吐をぶちまけたくなる物語だ」
◆
キアラの横で常に彼女を批判していたアンデルセンだが、かといって岸波白野の味方でもない。
あれは彼ならではの公正さの現れだっただけだ。
アンデルセンは作家らしく几帳面で、根は面倒見がいい。
そも、読者を楽しませよう、読者に奉仕しよう、なんて考えがなければ物書きは勤まらないのである。
アンデルセンは厭世家として固まってしまったが “正しく生きよう”“全力で事を成し遂げよう”とする人間の努力を笑わない。
それはかつての彼が夢想し、そうあってほしいと願った社会の姿だからだ。
事件解決に奔走する岸波白野を「無駄な事を。あんな女どもは放っておけ」と呆れながらもアドバイスをし、事態を悪化させていくキアラを「貪欲で厚顔でオマケに嘘つき! 童話の悪魔でさえおまえほど醜くはあるまい!」と悪態をつきながら決定的な否定をしなかったのは、ひとえに岸波白野もキアラも“自分の人生に一生懸命”だったからだ。
◆
最後に。
“酬われない人生に、最後の一文(ひかり)を”
それがこのサーヴァントの根底にあったものだ。
世界に名だたる作家になりながらも望むものは何一つ手に入らなかったアンデルセン。
愛を語りながらも愛を手に入れられなかった童話作家。
そんな彼にとって、“あがいた末に酬われず消える人生”こそ語るべきもの。
簡単に幸福になれる人間は彼にとっては背景と同じだ。
それらは勝手に幸福になればいい。
“神さえ見捨てた人間の人生に、最後の光を与えたい” それがアンデルセンの、魂の核である。
もし貴方に最後の道で立ち止まり、振り返る余裕があるのなら―――
このサーヴァントの真実、その一端を見る事ができるだろう。 - ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 Fate/Grand Order material I - Hans Christian Andersen, p.294-303
