    Wow--if her father was a hatter, even before her family fell apart she would have had a rough time, right from the start. You couldn't make hats in those days without absorbing mind-boggling amounts of mercury (literally mind-boggling--it drove hatters mad.) So her life must have been chaotic and traumatic from birth.

      Lol Fate is such utter fucking trash ass garbage... 🤣 It would have been MUCH better off staying as the trashy hentai visual novel it originally was (aka the story was about as important as any other story in porn... as in not at all beyond being a scaffolding to wrap the sex scene payoff's around) than getting high on its on supply and deciding it actually WASN'T the schlocky "Choose Your Own Adventure, but Porn!" it was and instead some deep, quality story strong enough to support a MASSIVE franchise. 🤷
      Without the sex scenes Fate's narrative is about as strong and enjoyable as any other porn movie with the sex scenes ripped out. Aka, not at all. (The only partial exception to this being when Ufotable realized that Fate's story is absolutely fucking trash and cannot support itself, and thus tried to replace all the sex with legitimately insane fight scene choreography instead in UBW.)

    I think the mata hari translate is not quite accurate.
    Matahari as a single word mean sun, but mata is eyes and hari means days. So its more eyes of the day hence a sun rather than dawn. Dawn in Indonesian is fajar or dini hari (early in days).
