Character

Mata Hari

Mata Hari

A female spy who operated in the shadows of the world, Mata Hari may well have been the most wondrous individual among her kind. Until she was executed for espionage while posing as an exotic dancer, she enthralled military officers with her alluring figure. From the beginning of her life, Mata Hari stumbled into futile circumstances. Her father’s company went bankrupt, and repeatedly cheated on his wife. Mata Hari’s mother fell ill with anxiety, and died when her daughter was 14 years old. Mata Hari’s marriage failed because her husband was a violent, drunken adulterer. This young woman, who spent most of her youth abused by the greed of men, seems to have taken well to being a spy who was terribly skilled at enthralling them. -- even if execution was all that awaited her in the end. If Mata Hari had a wish for the Holy Grail, it would probably be for a beloved partner and a happy household. More than anyone, she knows how weak she is as a Heroic Spirit, and has given up on that wish ever being granted.
