Kama, a character appearing in various forms in Fate/Grand Order (FGO), initially manifests as a Pseudo-Servant of the Assassin class, residing within the body of Sakura Matou. She is the Indian god of love, also known as Kamadeva. Originally a male deity, Kama manifests in this work as a female, which is related to the peculiarity of the girl she possesses and the presence of another goddess who is also a Pseudo-Servant. She wields a bow made of sugarcane and arrows decorated with flowers, said to arouse lust in those who are struck. Kama's most famous story is how she was tasked by the gods to shoot an arrow of desire at Shiva, who was deep in meditation, to make him notice his wife Parvati's love. However, this action enraged Shiva, resulting in Kama being burned to ashes by his third eye. In FGO, Kama exhibits a complex personality, being both a god of love and Mara from Buddhism, symbolizing desire and depravity. She loathes being treated as Cupid and enjoys teasing others, particularly disrupting happy romances. Her multiple class forms and ascensions reflect her multifaceted personality and the mythology behind her.
