MarthaWP (Santa) (マルタ〔サンタ〕?), Class Name Caster (キャスター, Kyasutā?), is a Caster-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile
Identity
Through modification of her Saint Graph by Scáthach-Skadi's Primordial Runes, Martha possesses the aspect of her childhood self as a young village girl.
Appearance
Santa Martha appears as a teenage Martha wearing a Christmas themed dress, apron, mits, and a hat modified to look like a Santa hat.
Personality
Bright and gentle by nature, Martha never loses her cheerful demeanor, and her skill at housework perfectly embodies the spirit of the young village girl she used to be. But her gentle, positive demeanor hides incredible power, which she used later in life when she single-handedly subdued the evil dragon known as Tarasque.
Martha firmly believes that violence is wrong, which is why she is so strict with those who are quick to rely on it.
Her memories are somewhat obscured. While she acknowledges Ritsuka Fujimaru as her Master and is aware of her role as a Heroic Spirit in Chaldea, she is less aware that she is Saint Martha. She's in a similar position to young Alexander with Iskandar, though in her case, she's not quite convinced she really is a saint and feels like that is someone else's business.
She originally did not feel like Santa Claus, but has grown into her role after her first year.[1]

Role
Fate/Grand Order
Abilities
Unlike her other versions, Santa Martha forgoes combat, instead preferring to support her allies by cooking meals for them. This is exemplified in most of her Skills and Noble Phantasm, which either boost or aid her ability to cook. This has been extended to Tarasque, who no longer seems to possess combat focused capabilities and has been turned into a mobile kitchen, allowing Santa Martha to cook anywhere. She is also good at setting up parties where the invitees can enjoy the fruits of her labor.
Skills
Class Skills
- Item Construction (B Rank): The ability to create objects for everyday use. Her skill is confined to crafting kitchenware, but she can produce utensils that were unknown to her in her previous life.[3]
- Territory Creation (D Rank): The Skill needed to create a territory that is advantageous to one's being as a magus. In Martha's case, she can create a kitchen that allows her to cook anywhere at any time.[1]
- Riding (EX Rank): The ability to operate mounts and vehicles. Although Martha only tamed Tarasque as an adult, the teenage Santa Martha's Saint Graph is the same as that of her adult Rider-class version. As such, she retains the Skill and its rank.[1]
Personal Skills
- Martha's Home Cooking (EX Rank): This Skill lets Martha prepare anything in the kitchen with the skill of an expert, including ancient Eastern cuisine, modern Western dishes, and pastries. Her bread in particular is noted to be of high quality. Those who eat her meals are imbued with high spirits and boundless energy, with Servant gaining a boost to their magical energy. The skill is difficult to evaluate accurately thanks to its multitude of effects, thus earning itself EX rank.[1]
- Big Sister's Meddling (B Rank): Martha's natural tendency to stick her nose into other people's business manifested as a Skill.[1]
- Santa Claus' Invitation (C+ Rank): A Skill that increases the excitement of Martha herself and the invitee when she gives them an invitation to a Christmas party. Martha spares no effort, pouring her heart and soul into preparing the finest Christmas feast anyone has ever seen. She draws an energy boost whenever she welcomes someone, and they also gain a similar lift in return.[1][3]
Noble Phantasm
Santa Martha's Noble Phantasm is Happy Merry Christmas. When summoned along with this Noble Phantasm's True Name release, the new mobile kitchen Tarasque appears to let Martha cook at full capacity. Once she's done cooking, Martha wastes no time decorating a Christmas tree and putting out presents to set the stage for the upcoming party.[1]
