Castoria is honestly one of the best written characters in Fate. Part of the reason that makes her such an interesting character is how Fate fans know the history of Artoria Pendragon so well; It puts into perspective what ideals and values we expect from Castoria. Initially I thought of her as an alternative version of Artoria who was never burdened with the destiny of saving Britain and instead chose to live a normal life of a mage. But as it turns out, her history is arguably as demanding as the initial Artoria Pendragon. Her tragic and abusive backstory gave her all the reasons to forsake her destiny like Morgan did. The latter tried to save Britain with compassion and empathy but realized that it was all for naught, and the only way to keep this country from falling apart was to rule it with an iron fist. But in the end, Castoria is still an Artoria at heart. She might be a coward, but her stubbornness offsets her timidness. Even if she despises her Pendragon counterpart, she still holds the same brave and courageous traits that are shared across all Artoria's.

Avalon le Fae is such a beautiful story. A story about hope, a story about going forward despite the pain and the hardship with nothing more than a single star shining beyond the storm. Your storytelling really gave it justice👏👏👏

Got me tearing up all over again, Lostbelt 6 was truly a masterpiece 😭🙌

[@Emily848]

awwww I'm happy that the vide was able to be finished, it's definitely an experience hearing my own script and writing being read out by someone else. I'm not used to it at all, but I had a lot of fun with writing this script for my favourite type moon character and I'm really happy with this video and how well done it was. I couldn't cover everything that I wanted to, but I think what I did was more than enough and I hope that others will be able to enjoy it to the fullest and you did an amazing job with everything, thank you for all of your hard work on this video and it turned out wonderfully ❤

[@giladmachluf3663]

The script was well written, really felt kinda like a storybook. Do you plan to make any more of these, and if so, for who?

[@Emily848]

@@giladmachluf3663 Awww thank you, that's sweet of you to say and I appreciate your kind words a lot and I'm happy you feel that way. I wanted to make it a bit like a journey since that is what Castoria goes through herself and what I thought would be fitting for her character. As for the future at least I want to write for Melusine mainly, otherwise I'll have to see, but that's the only planned one I have currently

[@user-mt2cb3zb2n]

Lb6 stands next to Berserk and Xenogears, in my opinion, as the 3 best fictional tales Iv ever come across. Truly a masterpiece

[@JadedWarlock]

Sometimes, you just have to do what you got to do. Even if it is really hard to do so. Cause even if everyone doesn't understand, there will be at least one person that will.

[@jeth2517]

there really should be more fgo lore videos like this, great job mate since you did the son and the father already, how about some love for the mom (Morgan)

[@kalahana6572]

No matter what others say, barghest story took me by surprise and made her my favourite

[@Brimst0ne6800]

Definitely subbing to ya. It’s a nice change of pace to have a lore content creator that puts this much effort into finding information.

[@henriquebecker4453]

Till this day LB6 is the most prased story in the whole game, everithing from characters to setting is by far one of Nasu's greatest works, I hope for the end of part 2 of FGO to get as much love and inspiration as this chapter.

[@SpaceGoddess]

Legit teared up listening to this. Wonderful! :,)

[@gatz900]

I just beat LB6 today and gotta say the story is very much worthy of the hype. I haven't teared up a while until playing through this. All of the teammates were amazing but Castoria was the GOAT. Amazing character. Even the villians were sympathetic (well, except for one IMO). Sad, bittersweet end to the tale

[@GrilledSoup]

Already a very good video. I like your voice. Just don't end up like OtakuDaiKun and introduce too much of your avatar taking up half the screen flailing his arms around. The accent of yours is nice too. Keep this up and I'll be a long time subscriber I bet.

[@VickyKujikawa]

Really great video, your videos are very emotional. I would love to see one for Melusine, Morgan, Medb/Knocknarea, Caenis and Kirstaria! I just got to know your channel but I already subscribed and will share it with friends!!

[@Emily848]

Awww, I'm glad you liked the video, for now there aren't any plans for those characters specifically sadly, although I may write at least for Melusine in the future from the list at least.

[@VickyKujikawa]

@@Emily848 Im sure any videos you do will be great!! Will wait for them for sure! And if you ever consider doing any of those characters I will be the first one to watch them as well!

[@Emily848]

@@VickyKujikawa awwww thank you I appreciate your kind and sweet words, I only wrote the script for this video and the scripts for the others go to other people and someone else does the editing and voice work too, it's mostly split up but I'm happy you enjoy it and I'll try my best in the future to at least do melusine and write for her and the others will depend on if the others feel motivated enough to do it, I'm glad you enjoyed it thoo and I hope you keep on enjoying whatever comes out the channel no matter what ♥️

[@ataxis8951]

⁠​⁠@@Emily848is there any possibility of a video on Oberon? Imo he’s by far the most interesting servant to come out of lb6

[@Emily848]

@@ataxis8951 Oberon will definitely happen as he's the one being worked on right now, I didn't write the script for it but helped with the sourcing for it. Should happen soon and hopefully you enjoy it when it comes out ♥️

[@8002_]

crazy

[@xDreww]

Thank you for this beautiful video. I gotta ask, where is 7:40 from? The Morgan manga pages?

[@Emily848]

It's from the manga called: From lostbelt, they're a collection of stories that happen throughout the lbs into chapters, one of them focuses on Morgan, it's called "A winter's tale" which is chapter 16.

[@PGM991]

seems like most people in FGO NA community are automatically correct her name from Altria to Artoria lol well judge from japanese katana written, Artoria is the correct one.

[@hexmark21]

Also, the fan translation of the original FSN VN from way back used "Artoria" and was used ever since as the unofficial translation of her name

[@noakinn]

It's not because of the katakana, it's because the origins of the name arthur is widely accepted to have come from the roman family name "Artorius".

[@rudcol8164]

You missed a few key components to the story of her existence but on all in all you did well with the presentation

[@pranavshinde4472]

What key moments?

[@rudcol8164]

@pranavshinde4472 while alive Morgan's level is only 100 when she becomes a servant she stays at 90 even as a support character but but castoria was alive she was ranked at 100 then became 120 when she became a servant. This is even more notable when Morgan rang the pilgrims Bells multiple times but castoria only run the bells once
