As a family of magicians with a history of over 200 years and five generations, the Tousaka family has some heritage and history.
Generally speaking, such families will have principles extracted from blood, culture, and order, that is, "family precepts", and the Tohsaka family is naturally no exception.
The family motto of the Tohsaka family is as follows:
First, you must not let down at the critical moment.
Second, stay away from the Matou family.
Third, no one with the last name Emiya is a good person.
Fourth, Archer is the most unreliable.
Fifth, no matter how hard life is, you cannot go without magic, and no matter how poor you are, you cannot go without gems.
Sixth, I hate the master’s treasure the most.
Seventh, don’t touch the machinery.
Eighth, Tokiomi was not wrong.
... ... .

... ... .
Well, the above are the summaries of those bored moon chefs in Shinji's previous life. No family would use such things as family mottos.
The true family motto of the Tohsaka family is "Always be graceful while having enough space." Translated into Chinese, it means "Always be calm and elegant."
Objectively speaking, the level and concept of this family motto are very good, and all the successive heads of the Tohsaka family have achieved this.
The current lord always dresses decently and maintains an aristocratic demeanor. In the eyes of many people, especially women, he is a perfect man.
Although the future headmaster Rin is only seven years old, she has already shown a maturity and demeanor far beyond her peers. She has excellent academic performance and is good at sports. Both teachers and classmates like her very much.
Of course, there are some naughty boys who go against Rin, but everyone knows that they don’t really hate Rin, but they are using this method to attract girls’ attention, and there is no malicious intent in the behavior itself.
Being so trusted and respected by her classmates is a source of pride for Rin, and it is also a way for her to practice her family motto.
Rin has a best friend named Kotone. The two are always inseparable at school, doing everything together and looking like sisters.
The opportunity for the two girls to become friends was very ordinary. Once, a group of naughty boys bullied Qin Yin. Rin couldn't stand it, so she helped Qin Yin drive away those boys. Since then, the two became friends.
Perhaps because Kotone's quiet personality is similar to Sakura's, Rin always feels that she can't be left alone. Whenever Kotone encounters a problem, Rin will help her, and the friendship between the girls becomes unbreakable.
Qinyin didn't come to school today.
The head teacher said that she was on sick leave at home, but the rumors in the class were not like that. They said Qinyin was missing.
Rin called Kotone's home several times, but Kotone's parents were unwilling to say anything more to Rin, and later even stopped answering the phone.
This increased Rin's worry.
If I were an ordinary child, I would only worry about my friend secretly and would not be able to do anything.
But Rin is not an ordinary child, she is the heiress of the magician family, the Tosaka family. She can use magic and she knows the hidden undercurrents in Fuyuki City.
Seven magicians, including my father, are waging war.
In the night streets lurks a deadly eerie threat.
Because he knew a certain truth, Lin felt an even greater sense of responsibility.
Now, Kotone must be waiting for Rin to save her, just as Rin has always done.
She could have turned to her father, a magician, for help, but he was a participant in the "war," and her mother had strictly forbidden her to disturb him, as if she was saying "you must not go out at night."
Rin has always obeyed her parents, but she can't just sit back and watch her friend in danger.
Just this time, I will not listen, for the sake of my friends and the family motto of the Toosaka family.
On a sleepless night, driven by a sense of duty or conscience, Rin quietly left her room.
Compared to the strong barrier of the Tousaka residence, it was much easier to sneak out of Zenjo's room.
He climbed out of the dormitory window, slid along the terrace pillars to the courtyard, and then went out of the wall through a small door.
It took less than five minutes to get out, but I couldn't use the same method to get back. It was easy to slide down from the terrace support, but it was difficult to climb up again.
Thinking that she couldn't hide her secret going out tonight and her parents would definitely criticize her severely afterwards, Rin said to herself that she didn't sneak out for any shameful reasons, but because she was a member of the Tosaka family, she had to do this. She must take Kotone with her when she goes back. No matter how her parents scolded her at that time, she must still be proud of herself in her heart.
Rin has three pieces of equipment.
The most trustworthy thing is the magic pointer that my father gave me on my birthday. In terms of appearance and structure, it is just an ordinary compass, but it does not point to the north, but to the direction of strong magic. Although it is just a very simple magic tool, Rin has learned from this pointer that even the flow of wind and the rise and fall of tides are subtle changes in magic. If you want to find the place where something strange is happening, this pointer will definitely come in handy.
There were also two crystal pieces that Rin had refined during her training in gem magic. She picked out the two best crystal pieces she had made. If she released the magic power in them all at once—although she had never tried such a dangerous thing—it should cause a small explosion, and she could use it as a self-defense weapon in case of danger.
Relying on these equipment and his own strength, Lin believes that he can find Kotone and bring her back.
If someone asks, no problem, she will definitely nod.
If someone asked, is it really okay? She might nod a little depressed.
But if someone asked her if she could really guarantee that there wouldn't be any mistakes, she might not dare to do so and didn't know how to answer.
But such questions were malicious and meaningless to Rin. If she really wanted to ask, she should first ask if Kotone was okay. If Kotone could no longer come to school, would Rin be okay? She would definitely answer such questions without hesitation.
Mustering up her courage and self-esteem, Rin told herself that she was not one of those ordinary timid children.
She pushed away the cowardice in her heart and walked towards the nearest station.
No problem, Fuyuki Shinto is only one stop away and the change in my hand is enough to pay the fare.
At this time, Rin had no idea what kind of monsters gathered in Fuyuki City at night, and what kind of crises were lurking. It was an undercurrent that could easily devour her young body, and it was a war that even a first-class magician had to be cautious of.
She stepped into this land that had become a battlefield in her ignorance, simply wanting to find her best friend.
The two of them go home together, go to school together, attend classes together, read together, and play together.
She had already lost her sister and couldn't lose her friend again.
PS: Although Tokiomi is the King of Pots in this world and everything is his fault, he is very popular in Japan. In the voting event held by the UFO Club on Valentine's Day, Tokiomi topped the list of gifts received, with Winky and Director Ken tied for second, young Weber third, Kiritsugu and the protagonist of "Tales of Zestiria" Sorey tied for fourth, Red A and the Great tied for fifth, Big Dog sixth, adult Weber and Shirou tied for seventh, Kariya eighth, Brush ninth, and Rudgar from "Tales of Zestiria 2" and Mikleo from "Tales of Zestiria" tied for tenth - by the way, isn't Mikleo the heroine of "Tales of Zestiria"
