A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Caren Ortensia
Canon: Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya
Age: Somewhere in her 20s, presumably
Timeline: End of Prisma Illya Zwei
Personality:
"It's a hobby. I enjoy getting a close look at children that get injured." - Caren, on why she decided to pose as a school nurse.
Basically Caren is... twisted. Knowing who her parents are results in this making a lot more sense, so to summarise: she is the daughter of Kirei Kotomine, a priest and Executor for the Holy Church who can only derive joy from other people's suffering and Claudia Ortensia, a sickly woman who would forgive her husband anything and died willingly in a (failed) attempt to prove he had emotions.
Caren as such is something of a combination of the two; she completely fails in the empathy category and enjoys messing people about whilst feeding off their schadenfreude and pain whilst being perfectly capable of forgiving anything... in an extremely judgemental, suspicious way. Much like her father, she has come to realise and accept her twisted personality; she acts completely without shame (that quote is her candidly explaining why she was working as a school nurse whilst observing for the Holy Church, and she doesn't bother with the skirt on her Guardian uniform because it's 'fashion') and doesn't seem to hold regrets or doubts on anything.
On her mother's side, she picked up her illness in a 'symbolic' manner (see the abilities section) and her ability to forgive anything; to the point she will often blame herself for other people's transgressions... though unlike Claudia she is most likely not being serious and just being an arsehole. She also apologises to God rather than other people when she is genuinely at fault. Completely sincerely.
As might be gathered, she's a little sadistic, finding fun in other people's panic (when she's not complaining about people panicking in the first place) and is always calm, almost amused and detached from a serious situation. When things aren't going to hell, she's generally bored and openly hopes someone will be injured (in an interesting way) just so she'll have something to do.
That said, it's not as if she lacks a conscience. She takes the matter of the Grail War seriously and has a good working relationship with Bazett. She just doesn't really sweat the little things. Or I should say; encourages the little things... she does her job, she just likes confusing the hell out of other people in the process. She is entirely aware of her own twisted personality, and uses it as much as a mask as she does just behave that way genuinely.
Background: Ahaha this is where I'd normally cheat and link to the Type-Moon wiki but unfortunately she's literally a Canon-AU so it's time for words words words and a little bit of guesswork.
In Fate/ proper, she is the daughter of Kirei Kotomine and Claudia Ortensia... but also much younger than the Caren we see here. When Claudia died, Kirei effectively abandoned her and left her with the Ortensias (hence the surname). She wound up following in his footsteps anyway, joining the Holy Church and assisting in exorcisms and daemon hunting due to her rare ability.
Prism!Caren is much older, by at least 5 to 8 years, and has most likely followed the same path; she is an agent of the Holy Church described as a 'Guardian' and Bazett's backup in the card recovery operation ...she has, also, become the school nurse in Illya's school, for the reasons mentioned in the personality section.
Where things get potentially interesting is that her father Kirei is presumably still alive and has never taken part in the Holy Grail War. Her mother presumably died much as regular canon and as a result she was abandoned in the same way. Most likely he is still alive and somewhere in Italy (the only Kirei we've met in Prisma Illya is in another another alternate world, where he is a tofu chef).
In any case, she was responsible for observing the mess revolving around the Cards in Fuyuki and to a degree observing the Einzberns owing to their connection to the Holy Grail War (likely the reason she obtained a position in Illya's school, though nurse specifically was... yeah...) as well as backing up Bazett, as noted. Her role was strictly as an observer, which makes sense given her 'ability'.
Abilities: She possesses an odd and extremely rare genetic ability named "Masochistic Pneumatic Automatism Diathesis" which basically makes her a living radar for daemons; she experiences physical pain when near them and if anyone is possessed by a daemon in the area, she will share their injuries. This is the main reason she assists in exorcisms for the Holy Church; she's extremely useful for tracking them down. She cannot however fight them herself; she possesses no magic circuits and obviously the effects of her ability can incapacitate her all on their own.
She does however possess the Shroud of Magdalene, a magical red cloth that can be used to forcibly bind men, though if they are physically attacked the effect will fail. She can more or less direct it telekinetically, but only for its stated purpose.
Finally, thanks in part to the constant injuries her ability makes her pick up, she has a lot of practical experience in first aid, though she doesn't appear to have any formal training or qualifications in the matter.
First Person: Caren on the RC Testdrive meme
Third Person:
The sun was shining, the City's sparse-ish bird collection was singing, the pews were empty and Claudia Ortensia was utterly bored.
This was not, in particular, anything new. The Church had made life interesting - and periodically painful, but that was the demons' fault - so she had followed the Church, and that meant sitting around in the local Cathedral hoping someone would walk with a broken leg or two.
Not that she wished broken legs on anyone of course, but if such was God's will she would prefer to be in its vicinity. It would be her duty as a woman of God to aid such unfortunates, after all.
...How suddenly she missed Bazett. That woman could always be counted on to bring her the most interesting injuries. That berserker woman would have had a field day in this place...
Ah... what to do...
Why, a lazy day such as this almost demanded that some desperate soul would barge in any moment n-
