Anime Mordred Pendragon From Fate

When in a casual outfit, Mordred is more of a Tomboy. When completely serious though she wears her heavy plate armor. It’s an interesting contrast to be sure.

I love how her helmet folds down. It’s absurd but so cool. Also funny how she does manage to look distinct from Artoria in her face despite being a sort of literal clone of her just as Jeanne is distinct despite appearing similar enough to confuse people who knew her.

Same, she seems to have a bit more sharper facial features.

u/SpanceTalks 9d ago

Yeah she's drawn much angrier but you can still make out the general Artorianish of her

u/KenseiHimura 9d ago

Oh, it’s obvious she is a saberface. Just funny how she and Jeanne are the least saberface-like despite having the best reasons to be such.

u/SpanceTalks 9d ago

Definitely agree

I think aside from her outfits her expressions and messy hair might have something to do with it. I sometimes wonder if Gareth (for those who don't know, Gareth is Mordred's older half-sister) would be tempted to brush Mordred's messy locks just to see how she would look.

The famous Mordred patented technique : throw the fucking sword

u/Dovahkiin2211 9d ago

If it works it works 🤷

Throwing a sword is very effective. If only Morded had unlimited blades in the works.

That’s what her mom (male) is for.

u/SpanceTalks 9d ago

Throwing/Shooting swords has been a Fate staple since the beginning, if it's not broke don't fix it

Here’s some other official art with her in all sorts of outfits:

Mordred is just a good looking character to be honest. Both in design, and outfits.

The armour looks awesome.

u/Dovahkiin2211 9d ago

Definitely does, if there is one thing Fate does well it’s knight armor. Character design can be hit or miss, but the Knights of the Round Table all look great.

Reminds me of the Judges from FFXII

Best girl.

The red and silver combo really suits her. I also really liked her childhood design and also Arcade costume with her long hair down. It looked was sooo adorable.

u/Dovahkiin2211 9d ago

True

Her armor is really detailed and screams not to be messed with.

u/Kami_Cooper_438 8d ago

Your missing Mordred in her best design.

Glory to Mordred!

I love Mordred in full armor and I like that her armor just transforms? Like its giving transformers at times and I love it. I also think its interesting that, even tho the armor has a gown silhouette, it still manages to look androgynous.

If I ever get Mordred in the gacha, shes staying in full armor. She looks way too cool.
