* ObliviousToLove: She has no idea that the human Timi is attracted to her based on her appearance. When the protagonist and Mandricardo point this out [[HypocriticalHumor she says that's weird to fall for someone just like that, completely oblivious as she obsessed over the protagonist from the moment they met]].

When the protagonist and Mandricardo point this out [[HypocriticalHumor she says that's weird to fall for someone just like that, completely oblivious as she obsessed over the protagonist from the moment they met]]. When pressed, it's made pretty clear that she doesn't really care anyway.



* OvershadowedByAwesome: On her own merits, Charlotte Corday is a good budget Servant with a very complete kit... but unfortunately, Arts-based single-target Assassin is a rather crowded niche, and many ''excellent'' budget Servants already do much of what she can do, including one powerful event Servant in Shiki.

Though if you've been playing long enough to ''have'' Shiki, your need for budget Servants is likely fairly low.



* VitriolicBestBuds: In "Lostbelt No. 5: Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnought Gods, Atlantis", she and Jason argue a lot, but they still care for each other. One of the reasons why Jason is not that fond of Corday is because she reminds her of Medea, but he trusts her enough to give her the important mission to assassinate [[spoiler:Lostbelt Odysseus]]. For her part, she trusts him to be [[BrutalHonesty brutally honest]] even when that's not what she wants to hear, and accepts his advice to pick up a [[WalkingSwimsuitScene new swimsuit]] for the coming BeachEpisode Summer event.

* {{Foil}}: To Carmilla, as a fellow noblewoman strongly associated with torture and decadence. While Carmilla is unafraid of the phantoms of her victims coming to challenge her for revenge, Wu is absolutely terrified at the prospect of the same thing happening to her, even though as a Servant she would have the means of combatting them to an extent.

PointOfDivergence: The "Fate/Accel Zero Order" event where he debuts is an AlternateUniverse of ''Literature/FateZero''. In this Singularity, he wasn't hired by the Einzberns and didn't start a family with Irisviel so he formed no attachments and was in the right mindset to make a contract to become a Counter Guardian. This is PlayedForDrama in his own Interlude: while nearly every Servant in-game who had a role in ''Literature/FateZero'' remembers him/wants to reconnect with him (among them, of course, [[spoiler:Irisviel]]), his own internal monologues show he doesn't know any of them, [[DoNotCallMePaul he doesn't recognize the Kiritsugu they know as himself]], and he doesn't want to bother doing anything about it.

Times were not always peaceful for Charles. During the French Revolution, he executed all sorts of men. He conducted further executions with the guillotine, eventually witnessing the execution of his beloved royalty, King Louis XIV and his wife, Marie Antoinette.\\\

* ProfessionalKiller: Professional Executioner. The ''Professional'' part of that vocation is especially important because his callous murder of innocent French citizens, since it went against his very nature, actually weakened him significantly to the point that Marie Antoinette (who had several disadvantages when it came to confronting Charles) was able to defeat him in a duel.

* InconsistentSpelling: One of his skills can be translated as Death Bell, Death Knell, Vesper Bell, or Bell of Demise (or, if you want to get a bit punny, [[DoubleMeaning Death Toll]]). His Noble Phantasm can also be spelled as either Azrael, Azazel, or Azra'Il, depending on which source language one believes is appropriate.

The Mausoleum he resides in is even named after this title, and his own OneHitKill Noble Phantasm is even crowned with the name Azra'il: The Angel Who Announces Death, in contrast to all his successors whose Noble Phantasms are all named Zabaniya.

* GoodIsNotNice: It should be noted that, though he willingly fights alongside Chaldea to save humanity, he's canonically listed as Lawful Evil for a reason. He's perfectly fine with killing ''anyone'' should the Evening Bell toll for them, and is known to kill his successors should they prove too corrupt or if their skills were declining; the mere gesture of ''asking for his help'' alone is a sign to him that a Hassan can no longer lead the Hashashin. In fact, he would kill any of his followers just for encountering him. Personality-wise, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold while he's not unnecessarily cruel]], First Hassan doesn't mince words and comes off as being harsh to many. Furthermore, as the Great Founder, he's notoriously difficult to please when it comes to the other Hassans. Anything a Hassan does that displeases him is sure to result in him demanding that they offer his head.

* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: More recent archeological studies about her reign indicate that she wasn't the epitome of evil that her successors made her out to be. Under her reign, China was an economic powerhouse that received visiting dignitaries from as far as the Byzantine Empire. She also expanded the meritocracy, fought for women's right's [[MoralPragmatist (though this also helped legitimize her own reign)]], cut taxes, provided pensions, raised salaries for deserving officials, and turned over unused imperial lands to farmers. While she was ruthless to her political rivals as her penchant for torture shows, she was also a skilled and adept ruler who kept China peaceful and prosperous. But given that Heroic Spirits are colored by the stories about them, it's understandable that Wu would show her crueler side more openly as a Servant.
