# Class Skills
Avenger B
"You've become cute these days" A skill obtained to avenge affectionate words like such from Parvati. As the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Mara, she has a reason to take revenge on the Buddha, as the God of Love, Kama, she has a reason to take revenge on Shiva. She seems to have increased the rank of this Skill by forcing this interpretation. Increases own NP generation rate when taking attack She easily gathers hatred and resentment (As a result of her bold moves this is especially true of the group that loves Master)
Oblivion Correction B
Avengers never forget. Whether it's that her body was burnt by Shiva. Or that there was someone she couldn't defeat despite all her love
Self-Replenishment (Magical Energy) A
Her magical energy will forever continue to flow until she accomplishes her revenge
Independent Manifestation E
A special skill. The corruption of love originally had the ability to appear anywhere... but now she can only manifest in front of the Master. As such the Skills rank has been lowered
Magic Resistance A
Cancel spells of A-Rank or below. Modern mages are unable to harm her with their magecraft
Riding A
All vehicles and all creatures but those of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast-rank can be used as mounts. Kama's mount is said to be a parrot. This time she'll be riding a float shaped like the sea monster Makara
Divine Core of the Demon King(?) B
Kama says that when got her summer spirit origin her "Divine Core of the Love God" changed and this new skill shows that she is a terrifying Demon King. With this she claims that her "Mara side is coming out strongly" despite that fact however it is pretty much hearsay as the impression she gives hasn't changed at all Same effect as Divine Core of the Love God
# Personal Skills
Makara Floating A
A perfect skill for summer waterplay. Kama is said to also have ties to Makara, a sea monster from Indian mythology. Makara is also the vehicle (vahana) of Varuna, the water goddess, and Ganga, goddess of the river Ganges, which means it has the power to control water. In addition to being comfortable to float on, Kama's mysterious shark and crocodile floaties can overcome even the roughest waves. At times, they can be even faster and more maneuverable than a jet ski.
Hollow Evil EX
As a result of acquiring an Avenger Spirit Origin, Kama, who was connected to the universe thanks to Shiva incinerating her, became even more deeply intertwined with the unusual magecraft temperament of the girl whose body she inhabits. Consequently, her summer version is able to attack by manipulating a unique form of magical energy. Though the fires of depravity will never disappear, this skill does help to lessen them considerably. That's why there appear to be fewer flames burning her body in her Third Ascension.
Midsummer Sea Mara EX
This skill demonstrates just how seriously the Demon King is taking summer. You can think of it as the summer version of Mara Pāpīyas. It suppresses her usual unmotivated attitude and makes Kama a little more...proactive. Who knows? It may even prompt her to respond to requests she would normally turn down because they're "too much trouble" with a more accommodating "Eh, why not? It is summer, after all."
# Noble Phantasm
『Kama Rūpāstra』
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: 2 - 10
Maximum Targets: 10
With Love Comes Summer Romance.
A version of Kama's flower arrow (Sammohana) that changed its appearance to better suit its use during summer: a cute floatie ring that couldn't be better-suited to a pretty young girl. This weapon, for a weapon it is, makes anyone who sees her fall in love. Once this NP hits its target, its sheer corruptive power bursts out in the form of a shadowy giant. Not even Kama herself knows why that happens.
"Rūpāstra" is another of Kama's names. It means "one who possesses the weapon of beauty."
『Mara Śūnyatā』
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: 2 - 10
Maximum Targets: 100
With Romance Comes Depraved Love.
An invitation to depravity, performed while Kama's Mara aspect is openly dominant, this is a dark universe that ultimately leads to love. While that part may not be meaningfully different than usual, in this Spirit Origin, it manifests as something deeper, and more hollow.
Anyone who falls into this depraved darkness will never escape it. One could say this entire space is a void transformed by flame. Instead of Love Flame, which brazenly incinerates those it touches, this dark, empty flame dissolves its targets with nary a sound.
# Character
First Person Pronoun Watashi
Second Person Pronoun Anata
Third Person Pronoun Kare/Kanojo
Master Master-san, Master (when serious)
# Personality
Compered to when she was an Assassin she wants to hang around and mess around with Master more. he wants to be by their side always and monopolize their gaze, not necessarily because that's what she wants but because she wants Master to fall in love with her. In other words a manifestation of Mara's aggressive side(or so she claims)
"Well since it a swimsuit, you can look wherever you want, so it should be an easy victory for me. I'll even help you if you run into any trouble, but I don't think you'll shift your attention to other swimsuit Servants after that, right?"
# Motivation and Attitude Towards the Master
Her basic stance hasn't changed and she still isn't conscious of wanting to be loved. (Even if such a wish exists it's deep desire that will never surface) She has completely devoted all of her attacks into corrupting Master For that reason she nervous when they counter attack
# Character Status in FGO
Kama was thinking...
"Am I not being taken seriously anymore? Are they treating me like a child, thinking they can keep me in check just by giving me cake? I mean, I'm certainly not about to start taking my job as the god of love seriously or anything, but everyone not taking me seriously kind of pisses me off, too.
Pārvatī used to be so wary of me, but now she just smiles and says things like, 'Try not to get up to too much mischief now, okay?' Well, if she's going to harass me like that, I'll just have to remind her why she was scared of me in the first place, won't I"
And so, Kama made up her mind. She was going to show everyone that she was not only the god of love, but also the terrifying Demon King of Depravity! The arrival of summer presented the perfect opportunity.
"You know, this is a good chance for me to put everything I have into corrupting Master once and for all. There's no way I can fail in a swimsuit, especially once I bring out my affectionate (laughs) side. Then I'll have my revenge against Pārvatī and everyone else who's been humiliating me by treating me like a damn kid! I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they realize their mistake!"
Kama claims that this new version of her is her Mara side showing through more than usual, which is why she's being bolder and more demonic (frankly, "impish" is a better word here) with her attempts to corrupt Master. But how is that actually different from usual? Honestly? It isn't. She's the same Kama she always is. The only real difference is that she's now more openly trying to seduce Master into depravity in a way she feels fits the summer season.
What's more, the extreme optimizations she's made for offense have left her defenses incredibly weak...which is to say, she's a pushover now. Even when she suggests things like sharing a soda with a double straw, she blushes crimson when it actually comes time to drink. This is why Pārvatī no longer considers her a threat. It hardly takes a goddess to see that her attempts to seduce Master into a life of depravity will inevitably end in abject failure.
That said, even in this summer Spirit Origin, Kama is still just as much herself and Mara as ever. That ratio is six parts Kama to four parts Mara in her usual form, and four parts Kama to six parts Mara in her Beast form. But now, incredibly enough...!
"Kama may insist she's seven parts Mara right now, but she's actually still mostly Kama, as usual." (Source: Pārvatī)

# Comment from Illustrator
The First Ascension had cute flowers, while the Third Ascension had the image of a God (Demon King) those two were set from the start but the Second Ascension was a two mouth long struggle. The work was truly weighing on my mind at that time. I didn't notice it at all when it was made, but when I looked at it again after it was implemented, I was surprised at how great the Third Ascension looked. I felt like if that was safe, I could do anything. I drew as many ideas and differences as I could and sent them to them so that they could choose and use them,and they decided to use them all. I felt so thankful(ReDrop)
