Pino (ピノ?) is a homeless child living in London during Kirschtaria Wodime's youth.[1]
Profile
Background
Pino was a homeless boy in London who lived in a shed under a bridge. Kirschtaria Wodime surmised that Pino had been living there since he lost his guardian, though didn't know if his parents had abandoned him or if he had been an orphan since birth. He owned a Mystic Code of concealment created by Witches, an amulet that rendered him almost completely invisible. Pino lived on stale bread that he stole without being seen due to his amulet, and dirty water from the river.[1]
When Kirschtaria was fifteen years old he often crossed the bridge where Pino lived in his commute to and from the Department of Spiritual Evocation. Pino would see the young genius crossing the river, but Kirschtaria didn't even acknowledge him. When Kirschtaria's father tried to have him assassinated and he fell into the river, Pino saved him and brought him into his shack. Being a spoiled noble Kirschtaria was initially put off by the homeless orphan, but Pino nursed him to health the best he could, feeding him from his reserves of stale bread and keeping them hidden from Kirschtaria's enemies with his Mystic Code.[1]
After several weeks Pino had run out of food and left to get more, but left his amulet behind to keep Kirschtaria's location concealed. Without his amulet he was seen when stealing a basket of fresh rolls and was brutally beaten by who he stole it from. Though he returned to give Kirschtaria the food, Pino died soon after from a combination of the beatings and his own malnutrition.[1]
Though Kirschtaria never even learned his name, the selfless display of kindness that Pino had shown Kirschtaria had a significant effect on him, dramatically changing his worldview for the better.[1]
Appearance
Personality
Pino had a very basic grasp of speech, which Kirschtaria attributed to him never having a meaningful conversation with an adult in his life. He didn't seem to understand what a name is, as he reacted in confusion when Kirschtaria asked for his name. He valued his treasure, the cloaking amulet, and was very kind and selfless to a dangerous point, caring so little for his own well-being while taking care of Kirschtaria that he died from malnutrition due to not eating himself.[1]
Role
Fate/Grand Order
Olympus: Interstellar Mountain City
Abilities
Pino's amulet of concealment was a Mystic Code crafted by Witches. It not only kept him hidden when he wore it, but also kept his shack hidden as long as it was inside. Kirschtaria's attackers, who would normally have been able to track him easily, were unable to find him for the several weeks he was under Pino's care due to the amulet.[1]
Development
Creation and Conception
Pino was designed by Eri Takenashi in Fate/Grand Order.

« Pino is the name I secretly gave at the time of writing, and it is not present in the main story itself. The design and sprite was by Takenashi Eri-san. Yeah, I made use of my connections to the max! He shouldn't feel any more important than a mob, he should be fundamentally eerie and servile, and that final expression. A character with a very difficult yet important role, so no matter what I wanted Takenashi-san's touch. » |
