AstraeaWP (アストライア?), Class Name Ruler (ルーラー, Rūrā?), is a Ruler-class Pseudo-Servant in the body of Luviagelita Edelfelt summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Astraea is the goddess of justice, innocence, purity, precision, and Libra. She is closely associated with the Greek goddess of justice, DikeWP (daughter of Zeus and Themis).
Her origin is that she is one of the Horae's three sisters from Greek Mythology.
Although she was supposed to be Zeus' and Themis' daughter, there are few accounts of it in legends.
The legends go that she remained on Earth, since the Iron Age where corruption is rampant, until the very end where the Gods were leaving one by one, and brought justice to the people. After that, her scales became the constellation Libra, and she herself became the constellation Virgo, which very few tales tell of a different story. However, later on, she and her mother Themis, who was equated to her, were given a different name and connotation that is Justitia of Roman Mythology. Namely, Lady Justice. The Goddess of Justice.
If you see a female statue holding a sword and a scale in front of courthouses or law firms, that would be them.
Astraea took on a form of a Pseudo-Servant in the body of Luviagelita Edelfelt.

Personality
Astraea, the goddess of justice and the balance, chose the right destination.
A person who was born to stand on a person-if she admits such a concept, it is her. She accepts the authority of justice as her duty and does not run away as a right.
Of course, she is the embodiment of justice for human beings. If you are an inexperienced master, you must be guided. At the same time, because of the character of the girl who has been ordered, it is difficult to point out the master's behavior. If you feel the master's behavior is vulgar, you will begin teaching without any hesitation (very physical, including a drop kick). If you walk with her, it is better not to be disciplined.
If you haven't noticed the concept, then the idea of a person who was born to stand above humans would be her.
One who is responsible for the authority called Justice like her doesn't have the privilege of acting rashly.
....However, aside from those virtues, if she finds any rare or valuable objects, she would think of them as objects to be protected first. In other words, she is the most graceful (hyena) even in Heavens.
In this manifestation, rather than the original Astraea, she shows more of the later era's Lady Justice aspect.
Originally, she has very rigid features, and is someone with inflexible nature, however, she is influenced by the girl who is her vessel, and now she is leading humans by her own self.
It is the same reason as to why she is fixated on hand-to-hand combat, even though she is a Servant who held a sword and scales, at that time, to both toss and throw, and to fight bare-hand (professional wrestling) is surely her justice. Whether it is a troublesome thing, whether being chosen as Astraea's vessel is inevitable, the fact is that this style matches Astraea, who possesses unparalleled strength as a Divine Spirit of Judgement, results in one of the best Servants proficient in straightforward hand-to-hand combat.

Interlude
Abilities
Astraea is a Pseudo-Servant. She only exists in this form because a Divided Divine Spirit possessed Luviagelita Edelfelt.[6] Although Astrae is not on the level of the Twelve Olympians, she still has enough power to stop Jason's Argo in its tracks if she wanted to.[4]
Combat
Astraea wields a golden sword and scales, showing herself adept at using the former. She uses Jewel Magecraft, utilizing the scales as a conduit at times.
Astraea is able to pin down Mecha Eli-chan with three consecutive pro-wrestling moves, forcing her to retreat back to Chaldea. She also defeated Bedivere. Sakata Kintoki can seemingly fight evenly with Astraea. He is happy that he doesn't need to hold back around her, just like he doesn't with Minamoto-no-Raikou.[6] Martha and Astraea are evenly matched in close quarters combat.[5]
Skills
Class Skills
- Independent Action (A Rank): The ability to remain independent for a while even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from one’s Master. As Astraea has Rank A in this, it is possible for her to maintain materialization in this world for a week even if she is without a Master.[1]
- Territory Creation (A Rank): One can create a “Workshop”, which is an advantageous position for themselves as a Mage. Because Astraea possesses Rank A in this, it is possible to create a “Temple”, which is superior to a “Workshop”.[1]
- Divine Core of the Goddess (B Rank): A Skill that expresses one being a perfected goddess since birth. It has the effect of preserving the absoluteness of the mind and body. It mitigates almost all mental interferences, prevents the body from growth, and prevents the figure from change no matter how many calories are absorbed. It is a composite Skill that comprises the Skill Divinity. Since Astraea is a Pseudo-Servant, it results in the Rank stopping at B.[1]
Personal Skills
- Protection of the Scales (A+ Rank): A Skill that originates from the Authority of the Divine Spirit Astraea. A Skill where the Scales – which is the symbol of Astraea – dwell within her body, deploying an absolute defense against the targets that should be judged. However, due to the inclinations of the possessed human, it has been modified into a Skill that is oriented towards hand-to-hand combat. In other words, a pro wrestler cannot be toppled over.[1]
- Mana Burst (Star) (A+ Rank): A Mana Burst Skill unique to Astraea, who is called a star maiden. It should be possible for her Magical Energy – which stems from the nature of the gods and the stars – to change its property, but perhaps due to the influence of the possessed girl, it is inclined to change into an extremely offensive-oriented property.[1]
- Judgment of the Stars (A Rank): A Skill where as long as one has become a target of judgement, not to mention a human on earth, but even a Divine Spirit can receive judgement via the power of the stars.[1]
Noble Phantasms
Astraea's main Noble Phantasm is Custos Morum.
Astraea's second Noble Phantasm is Iam Redit et Virgo.
Development

Comment from Illustrator
"I am regretful as I wanted to draw Astraea more diligently, even if I had to draw without sleeping, as there were a large number of jobs with short-term deadlines being piled up over the schedule period I had originally planned for drawing her." (Toh Azuma)
