Biography

Shirou Emiya (Japanese: 衛宮 士郎, Hepburn: Emiya Shirō) was a male human who lived in Japan by the modern age where he was with his family in Shinto. Around 10 years ago, the Fourth Grail War resulted in a great fire erupting that consumed the city which killed his parents whilst leaving Shirou mortally wounded in the blaze. In that state, he was found by Kiritsugu Emiya who came to save the child after feeling responsible for the events of the recent disaster. Unknown to Shirou, he embedded within the boy Avalon which was responsible for saving his life and then asked to adopt him after revealing that he was a magus. The young Shirou agreed where he took the last name of Emiya and for the next 2 years came to persistently ask Kiritsigu to teach him Magecraft. Kiritsugu though disapproved of teaching him his craft but relented though only taught Shirou the basics and asked that he applied it in secret to help people in a way that would not draw suspicion.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Shirou Emiya was a human male who as a teenager had auburn hair and golden-brown coloured eyes.

One of his hobbies was cooking where one of his forte's was Japanese cuisine.

After the last Grail War, the orphaned Shirou was adopted by Kiritsugu Emiya (衛宮 切嗣, Emiya Kiritsugu?) thus becoming his son. This also made him the adopted brother of Illyasviel Von Einzbern.

It was shown that he was initially attracted to Saber from the moment he saw her after she had been summoned.

The characters relationships varied depending on which route had been taken.

Powers and abilities

Whilst living with Kiritsugu, he was trained as a magus though his training was not formal leading to him now following the typical path of a magi. As such, he had been taught Magecraft (魔術, Majutsu?) though he only had the most basic training. This was to the point that Emiya's basic training in Magecraft was noted for being extremely lacking.

His unorthodox training led to him developing a very specialized version of projection magecraft.

Notes

• Shirou Emiya was created by Kinoko Nasu where he featured in the setting of TYPE-MOONs Fate universe.

Alternate Versions

• In an alternate future timeline, Shirou made a contract with the World (Alaya) and became the Heroic Spirit EMIYA. He acts as a Counter Guardian for the world as payment for the contract. Rin intended to summon a strong Saber class servant without a catalyst. Unknowing to her, the jewel pendant was used as a catalyst which summoned the Heroic Spirit EMIYA. Rin's Pendant, a one-of-a-kind jewel kept by Emiya as a keepsake of his unknown savior over the years. Differing from normal, it was not the pendant Rin owns in the present that acts as the catalyst. Emiya is instead a case where he holds a catalyst with a connection to his summoner. Archer crash landed in one of the mansion' rooms after the summoning process was completed. He is disappointed by her first impression of him, to which she questions what he is "supposed" to be. After the two of them confirm their relationship as Master and Servant, Archer begins to question Rin as a master. He judges her worth as a master, and even goes so far as to announce he will not follow her orders, regardless of their importance. Archer makes sarcastic remarks about Rin which aggravated her to use one of her command seals to force Archer submit to her. Afterwards, Archer scolds her for being so careless, and asks whether or not she knows the importance of Command Seals. Once their argument is settled, Archer agrees to stay with Rin. He blames Rin for his vague memories due to her incomplete summoning but also acknowledges her talents and skills. Archer then tours Fuyuki City with Rin acting as his guide. As they venture through the city, Archer learns that Rin has no actual wish for the Holy Grail, other than her desire to win it. One night, after informing Archer of a strange Bounded field around the school grounds, Rin goes to the school in an attempt to destroy it, only to encounter another servant, who she identifies as belonging to the Lancer-class. When Lancer tries to attack Rin, Archer intervenes. The two servants then engage in a fight. While Lancer tries to disarm Archer, he becomes quite agitated at Archer's ability to reequip his swords. During in their fight, Shirou Emiya was a pedestrian who witnessed the two Heroic Spirits battle for the first time. Before their fight can continue, they are disrupted by Shirou's presence. Lancer stops the fight and pursues Shirou, Archer and Rin follow him. Lancer pursues the student, and impales him before fleeing. Archer and Rin stumble upon the student's body. Rin orders Archer to track down Lancer, but he was unsuccessful. Rin uses the magic in her pendant to revive Shirou. Before the boy can regain consciousness, the pair flee. Archer gave his own pendant back to Rin making her think that Archer returned to the scene to retrieve the pendant. Shortly after, Archer and Rin come to the conclusion that Lancer's master will gain knowledge of the boy's survival, and have Lancer finish him off. Deciding to protect the boy, the pair travel to the suburbs. However, before they can enter the grounds, they are attacked by a servant, who Rin identifies as belonging to the Saber-class.
