Fujino Asagami is asexual!
Art fill for the @nasuversekinkmeme prompt:
there's a common theme in prompts for this kinkmeme, so the opposite of that: let's get some non-Fate characters being asexual

what is your favorite fgo servant?
It has to be her.
Asagami Fujino is one of my absolute favorite characters in fiction. While anyone who has seen her source material is able to understand her as a sympathetic villain, she only makes a major appearance in her dedicated film, Kara no Kyoukai 3: Tsuukaku Zanryuu (Remaining Sense of Pain). Her inability to feel pain has left her emotionally dulled and she has difficulty relating to others, even though she desperately wants to. Anyone who has seen this movie will have a grasp on her personality characteristics, something I feel I can relate to.
Below is an excerpt from her profile in Fate/Grand Order.
Possessing feminine mannerisms, verbal expressions and personality, but her hobbies are something far removed from girlish tastes. She prefers dark things that one can secretly enjoy alone, such as viewing horror movies.
The person herself will not be aware of this until the end, but she has a latent predisposition to sadism. This is the reason why she becomes cruel, coldhearted, of bad taste as soon as she is driven to a corner.
In Remaining Sense of Pain, Fujino commits a string of murders against people that are aware of her ability to twist anything, a cruel form of telekinesis. She says that she doesn't want to hurt anyone, but she does secretly enjoy it.
Her addition to Fate/Grand Order is, by the game's admission, peculiar.
A temporary Servant manifested by the Counter Force for the purpose of acting against the incineration of humanity.
The era that Fujino lived in was turned to ash by the incineration of the anthropic principle. She too was burned to ashes, but her peculiarity was not overlooked by the Counter Force of the world. The Alaya-shiki adopted her superpower as a military asset for the sake of overturning the incineration of the anthropic principle and she was summoned by Chaldea as a transient Servant. For her, this current self is nothing but a "dream". Just like Shiki, this is an illusion of a single night that she is seeing just before being burned to ashes, and which will simply disappear if the incineration of the anthropic principle is not overturned. A person with normal sensitivities would fall in a state confusion and panic, but Fujino has smoothly accepted this abnormality. She perfectly understands her position as someone summoned as a Servant and probably will endeavor to help the Master, within the limits of what she can do.
The game essentially keeps her a secret, and her only appearance was, for the longest time, her initial banner on the Kara no Kyoukai collab event rerun. Even during this event, she does not appear in its story. Her first story appearance would not be until years later, during Summer 5 (Servant Summer Camp) where she plays the role of a ghost girl. In the epilogue of this event, we are afforded a rare glimpse into her sweet side, as she takes the protagonist, Ritsuka Fujimaru, on a date.
There are actually three endings to Fujino's date, and you can view all of them here.
There's also gameplay reasons. Her defensive skill, Remaining Sense of Pain A, makes her virtually immune to potshots offered by most enemy normal attacks for a solid 3/5 turns. Meanwhile, her main offensive skill, Mystic Eyes of Distortion EX, gives her access to defense-ignoring on a skill, which is quite rare. All of her skills, actually, last three turns. To put it simply, at higher levels, she becomes an ultimate combination of offense and defense, I find.
In conclusion, I love her, and I love fighting beside her.
Next time you see her, please treat her well.
