As Fate Testarossa
Fate was an artificial mage created by Presea Testarossa, who wanted to do a replica of her deceased daughter, Alicia. However, even with Alicia's memories, Fate had a different personality. That's why Presea decided to use her to find the Jewel Seeds so she can revive her real daughter. She was really cruel with Fate, but the latter wanted to see her smile again so she obeyed her. In her Jewel Seed hunting, she met Nanoha, but she was so focused on her goal that she didn't talk to her and she fought her. Finally, Nanoha could say to her that she wanted to be her friend. Some time after Fate's mother revealed that she was not her real daughter and that she used her, resulting in Fate becoming so desesperate that she wasn't responding. But in the end, she realized all Nanoha's efforts ad she decided to help her. Then began Fate and Nanoha's long friendship.
