The MP-443 , also known as the PYa (Pistolet Yarygina, or 'Yarygin's Pistol') or the ''Grach'' ('Rook', Russian: Грач), is the official Russian military designation for of a 9x19mm calibre semi -automatic pistol type handgun produced by Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (Now now part of Kalashnikov Concern), .<ref name = "grach wiki">[[wikipedia:MP-443 is sometimes referred to by it's designer's name as Yarygin Pistol, but it is also known as Grach (Rook) from |Wikipedia entry on the military trials. Design finished around 2000, it was adopted as the standard service sidearm for Russia's military and law enforcement. The weapon was produced in small batches prior to 2011 and supplied to selected units, the financial situation at the time and the large amount of stockpiled Makarov pistols dissuaded the mass production of Grach. Eventually in 2011, Grach entered mass production and is speculated to completely replace Makarov MP-443 pistol by 2019.]]</ref>
The Grach is chambered for the 9×19mm 7N21 cartridge, the Russian loading of the ubiquitous 9mm NATO pistol cartridge. The 7N21 features a semi-armour-piercing bullet with a tempered steel core. The weapon can also use standard 9×19mm Parabellum/9mm Luger/9×19mm NATO cartridges, including civilian loads such as hollowpoints for law enforcement (only full metal jacket bullets are permitted for use in military weapons). In 2003, testing was concluded, and the MP-443 was officially adopted as a standard sidearm for all branches of Russian military and law enforcement. Initial production and procurement of the Grach would be slow. By 2008, it had only been supplied in small numbers to select special forces units, presumably those in the North Caucasus. Production would be increased starting in 2011, with officers of the Western Military District receiving their new pistols in 2012. Large-scale deliveries of PYa pistols to the Russian Armed Forces would begin shortly afterwards. Today, the MP-443 shares a spot in Russian military service alongside other Soviet/Russian handguns such as the Makarov PM, GSh-18, and SPS. Owing to financial issues and the availability of the PM pistol, the Makarov remains the primary police service pistol in Russia. | design=In-game, Grach appears to be around 150-155cm of body in height, when using her weapon as a 's size for comparison scale model. Grach appears not only taller, but also overall more girly than her sister {{doll name|MP-446|HG|2}}, due to her pink hair and her short skirt. She can commonly be seen carrying gem stones gemstones with her, even to the battlefield, and she carves gem stones these gemstones into what appears to be a prism shape to resemble stars(or Saint Quartz for any FGO players).

| trivia =*The Russian nickname given to the MP-443, 'Grach' ('Rook'), is derived not from the chess piece, but rather from the name of a species of bird known as the rook (''Corvus frugilegus''). The rook is member of the crow family of birds, and is a common sight in much of western Russia.*Initially, Grach MP-443 was intended to be the February 2018 login reward Doll on the CN servers; however. However, it was this ended up being changed to {{doll name|CZ52|HG|3}} at the last minute. Grach was **MP-443's introduction to the game would be delayed until her eventual release as June 2018's login reward.*One of her voiced MP-443's voice lines (currently unused in-game, but included in the game files) has her saying ''"yukkuri shite ne!"'' (roughly translating as "take it easy!"), . This is possibly as a reference to her artist Yóukùlí (derived from the Japanese "yukkuri", using Mandarin pronunciation) and , as well as potentially being in reference to the catchphrase of the ''yukkuri'' critters from the ''Touhou'' fandomseries of fanworks.
