Fate Graphite/Relationships

Roxy Hart:

Fate and Roxy have a longstanding history. Roxy was Fate’s savior from the clutches of the Vlericks. Initially, their relationship leaned more towards master and servant, given Fate’s admiration for Roxy, who was the Head of the Hart Family—one of Seifort’s esteemed families—while Fate was an outcast. When Fate’s Gluttony skill emerged, he kept it hidden from Roxy, fearing that revealing his true self would make her despise him, causing a strain on their connection.

Everything shifted when Fate vanquished the Divine Dragon, laying bare his secrets before Roxy. She declared that she would never hold hatred for him, regardless of his identity. Their bond has since flourished, and they now stand as best friends. At one point, Fate confessed to Myne that he loves Roxy, though he hasn’t yet revealed his feelings to her and remains steadfast in his devotion.

Fate is Aaron’s adopted son, a relationship formed when they crossed paths in Hausen. Aaron imparted the techniques of Holy Sword Mastery, including the “Grand Cross,” to Fate. Their bond solidified when they joined forces to defeat the Lich Lord, emerging as victorious allies. Subsequently, Aaron formally designated Fate as his heir.
