Master of Chaos

Sima Yi (Reines)

Sima Yi

A warrior and politician described in the Records of the Three Kingdoms.
A victor of the Three Kingdoms period who received the posthumous title of "Emperor Xuan" after death.

...that being said, just like the strategist that was his bitter rival, he has taken a certain magus girl as his vessel.
"Well, as far as operating in the modern age is concerned, it is indeed more logical to yield one's consciousness to the vessel.
But don't you people rely in logic a little too much?"

Reines (the girl who became his vessel) is the proper sovereign (Lord) of the El-Melloi faction, one of the 12 houses that administer the Magic Association.
Actually, she was supposed to take over as a sovereign (Lord), but due her age, the state of the power struggle - and also Reines' own curiosity - that position was handed over to Lord El-Melloi II while she pretended to be some sort of grey eminence.

Upon turning into a Pseudo-Servant, Sima Yi entrusted operations on the modern world to the vessel just like Kongming did. However, it seems like he does not have the same farsighted pragmatism as Kongming, so he reveals himself from time to time.

Of course, the height, weight and gender belong to the vessel.

Command of Emperor Xuan: A
A variation of the skill "Command of the Strategist", which is given to strategist-type Servants.
Due Sima Yi being an usurper of political power who was later given the posthumous title of Jin's Gaozu Xuandi(1), his skills as a strategist and as an emperor have fused together.

Supreme Mystic Code・Lunar Spirit's Cerebrospinal Fluid: B
One of the supreme Mystic Codes of the El-Melloi faction - one of the 12 houses of the Clock Tower.
Flexible and freely-transforming. Not only this is a peerless weapon, but it also changes into a solid armour that strengthens the abilities of the entire body. If necessary, it also becomes a mercury maid.
An ability originated not from Sima Yi, but from Reines. It seems that, in regard to precise manipulation of the Volumen Hydrargyrum alone, she surpasses all her predecessors.
Her STR was increased to B Rank thanks to the boost of this Mystic Code.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Hun Yuan Yizhen - Untold Formation
Rank: B++
Type: Anti-Encampment
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 500 people
To be precise, it is "Formation of Turbulent Instant".
The essence of the human called Sima Yi is not that of a strategist that employs cunning, clever schemes.
Be it at war or in disputes for political power, he naturally prepares himself, naturally bides his time, wins as if a matter of course and then sullenly murmurs a poem that he doesn't even like.

When the illusionary sun and full moon appear on the horizon, the opponent's strong point will be crushed and the weak point that he concealed will be exposed.
This is a joker-slayer that can even "produce a weak point" so long enough conditions are met - such as "being an opponent that he already defeated once" or "has already gathered the opponent's data".


(1) roughly, "high ancestor emperor Xuan".

Astraea (Luvia)

Astraea

The goddess of justice and the heavenly balance, Astraea, has chosen a suitable target for spiritual possession.
Someone born to stand above others――
She was approved under such concept.
Having accepted the Authority called justice as her duty, she will not go on a rampage as if she had the right to do so.

...still, such virtues aside, she has a quirk of considering any rare, valuable things that she finds as objects that must be put under her protection in a preferential manner.
In other words, the most elegant (hyena) in heavens.

Her origins are found in one of the three Horae sisters.
Although considered a daughter of Zeus and Themis, there are few accounts of her in mythology.
There is the legend of how, as the gods departed one after the other from the vice-rampant Iron Age, she remained on earth to the very end and urged people towards justice. There are also the tales of the scales that she held later becoming the constellation of Libra, while she herself became Virgo. Truly very few.
However, in posterity, she, her mother Themis and the Justitia of Roman mythology - which are regarded as the same as Astraea - were given a new name and meaning.
In other words, Lady Justice.
The goddess of justice. If you find an image of a goddess holding a sword and scales before a courthouse or a law office, it represents them.

Originally she possessed an inflexible disposition, with strong aspects as a function, but she now seeks to guide people herself thanks to the influence of the girl who became her vessel.
For that same reason, she is excessively fixated on hand-to-hand combat. Despite holding a sword and scale in those hands, she will throw them aside at the critical moment - barehanded grappling (pro wrestling) is her justice.
It is quite troubling, or maybe inevitable due the chosen vessel, the peerlessly tenacious Astraea matched herself to such a style, as a divine spirit possessing judgement functions, and ended up attaining foremost performance as a Servant in terms of pure grappling.

"The justice of the stars!
In other words a backdrop!"

Since she was a personification of human justice to begin with, she will spare no services to the restoration of the anthropic principle.
If her Master is inexperienced, then she will become even more inspired to guide him.
At the same time, due in part to the personality of the possessed girl, her pointing out towards the Master's conduct is strict.
If she feels that his conduct is indecent, she will probably show no hesitation in applying discipline (which will be something extremely physical that includes a dropkick).
One should not be negligent towards his training if he want to walk together with her.

In regards to this manifestation, rather than the original Astraea, her aspects as the goddess of justice (Lady Justice) of later ages is more pronounced.

Protection of the Scales: A+
A skill that derivates from the Authority of the Divine Spirit Astraea.
A skill in which the scales that symbolize Astraea dwells in her body and deploys an absolute defence against those who ought to be judged.
However, due the inclinations of the possessed human, it was revised into a skill suited for hand-to-hand combat. In other words, a pro wrestler does not fall.

Judgement of the Stars: A
By means of the authority of the stars, as long it is someone that became a subject of trial, even a divine spirit shall receive that judgement, let alone a human from this Earth.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Custos Morum - The Time of Judgement is Now. State Your Name
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Sin
Range: 1～100
Maximum Targets: 100 people
A Noble Phantasm that materializes the scales that originally were her Authority, brings out the subject of judgement to a courtroom of starry sky and pours stardusts in proportion to his sins.
In contrast with Ishtar, who fires the concept of Venus in a single blow with all of her might, Astraea dumps the concept of the many stars across the starry sky without any restrain.

Gray

Gray

A girl who inherited the secret arts of a certain cemetery.
Despite not being used with the common customs, she restlessly works at the Mage's Association as Lord El-Melloi II's private pupil.

Only a select few know about the secret hidden beneath her hood, including El-Melloi II and the queer "talking box" called Add.

Fundamentally shy and introverted.
Due being raised in the countryside, she is not used to the big city and has the habit of watching over things from afar.
That being said, her core is gentle and persevering and, due an unexpected amiable disposition, she probably can adapt herself to most environments given enough time.
...however, that is only if nobody mentions her face.
She forms a good duo with the candid, sarcastic Add.

A vessel for the king that a certain family attempted to create.
That flesh is a faithful reproduction of a hero from ancient times, displaying a performance improper for modern humans.
However, Gray herself still cannot accept her own face, which is the result of a sudden mutation that occurred when she was a child.
As a result, she built a strong relationship of mutual trust with El-Melloi II, who took her away from her hometown and demonstrates a slight evasiveness towards that face.

She manifested in the Assassin Class due to Add's special trait.

Sealing Mystic Code Release: C
The Sealing Mystic Code Ad possessed by Gray does not simply seals away the holy spear, but can also change its shape to fit the situation by means of a special release.
She has manifested as an Assassin due to this Mystic Code and related skill.

Anti-Spirit Combat: B
Having been raised as the successor of the Blackmores' grave keeper - a cemetery worthy of special mention even within the British Empire - she learned the techniques to oppose many heinous spirits.
Even Servants, who are incarnations of powerful Heroic Spirits, are no exception.

Offshoot of the King: A
A skill that stands for the qualities of a vessel of the once and future king.
Thanks to this, she implements parameters that originally would be unthinkable for modern humans.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Rhongomynyad - The Spear that Shines at the Beyond
Rank: A+ (originally A++, but suffered a Rank-DOWN due Gray being unable to handle it)
Type: Anti-Fortress
Range: 1～99
Maximum Targets: 100 people
Its true form is that of an anchor that ties up the two sides of the world, and the spear that she uses is but a shadow of that anchor.
Still, since even that shadow is beyond the capacities of a proper human like Gray, it usually remains sealed within the Sealing Mystic Code Add and is released when needed. Also, Add can change into many weapons by making use of the power overflowing from the holy spear.
Even though its power is being doubly limited by the Sealing Mystic Code and the Thirteen Restrains, this holy spear has not lost its brilliance.

Ganesha (Jinako)

Jinako Karigiri

Something big (in many ways).
An elephant-head stone statue (as you can see).
One can feel a divinity from it (for some reason).

There is nothing else to be said about it―――
At least for now.

A Pseudo-Servant that has a divine spirit dwell into a human vessel... or so it is believed, but that are many puzzles regarding how it came into existence.
To be honest, there are bugs in many details about it.
The name column of this Saint Graph seems to display the name of the human wizard who supposedly became the vessel, but for some reason a conceptual mojibake occurred and it is now in a condition that nobody can read it.
Thus, the Chaldea personnel (the Master included) call her by her self-styled "Miss Ganesha".
It is uncertain whether the Hindu divine spirit Ganesha is really inside.

Every so often, those who seem to have a connection with the vessel girl would say her name by chance, but that only occurs unconsciously and other people cannot perceive that name as something meaningful.

Given how she has manifested in an Extra Class, one can surmise that a certain superior AI somehow had a hand in the formation of this Servant... but the truth is lost in darkness, or maybe in the far-side of the moon of another world.

Broken Tusk: B
A skill that denotes the broken right tusk, which symbolizes the elephant-headed god.
There is a famous anecdote of how he broke his tusk by purposely receiving a blow from Parashurama's axe without avoiding it, after perceiving that it was something given by his father Shiva.
There are many different view on this, including that the tusk was broken from the very beginning and that it was thrown at the moon.

Vinayaka: EX
One of Ganesha's pseudonyms. It means "the best".
In addition, this is also regarded as the name of the demon god who possesses the disposition of "becoming an obstacle".
This relates to the meaning of "success will arrive if that obstacle is overcome", giving birth to a faith about a "god that removes obstacles" as a result.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Ganesh Impact - O Meat Bullet, Get Serious Starting Tomorrow
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～10

A misplaced anger Noble Phantasm that Miss Ganesha unleashes after being cornered by many things.

Ganesha Vighneshvara - Salute, For I am the God of Obstacles
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Obstacles
Range: -
Maximum Targets: -
Not employed unless there are special circumstances.
The name "Ganesha" means "lord of retainers", while the pseudonym "Vighneshvara" means "god of obstacles".
An absolutely inviolable force field, manifested by purifying the disposition as a god that removes obstacles.
If used to attack, it can push open, brush aside any obstacles that stand in her way with its absolute intensity.
Of course, it can also be used as a perfect shield that averts any kind of attack from others when defending.

In the Indian Lostbelt, she employed this (in addition to a combination with Lakshmi's Noble Phantasm, which had a similar disposition) to cover her entire surroundings and produce an "absolutely inviolable hikikomori room" that even the power of god to recreate the world could not reach.

Lakshmi Bai

Lakshmi Bai

One of the most famous ringleaders of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
Despite her position as the Queen of the Jhansi Provincial Kingdom, she guided her people from the vanguards while riding a horse and brandishing a sword.
The fight of the rebel army lead by her was so magnificent that even a British commanding officer left behind words of praise towards them, despite being enemies.

Although she continued to boldly oppose the subjugation forces that were furnished with state-of-the-art equipment, she finally died in battle at the land of Gwalior, in June 1858.

However, it has been said her bravery and wishes are still carved in the heart of people even today.

After the King's death from disease, Lakshmi opened negotiations with the British for the survival of the Jhansi Kingdom.
At the time, England was promoting the "doctrine of lapse" (which did not accept that adopted children could hold inheritance rights over a kingdom, and stated that countries without successors would be annexed to the British East India Company) that crushed Lakshmi's hopes to preserve the Kingdom by adopting a child.
When special envoy from the Governor-General of India, Dalhousie, visited to declare that "from now on, this country will be annexed as a British territory", she did not shed tears but instead resolutely asserted that "I will not abdicate my Jhansi".

Afterwards, Lakshmi became the flag-bearer​ of the insurrection movement within Jhansi.
The Jhansi rebel army (which included many female soldiers that were encouraged by her) fought with such a dauntless courage that it left the British army astonished.
In 1858, the Jhansi Castle finally surrendered to the subjugation army, but Lakshmi herself managed to escape somewhat. She rendezvoused with another rebel army and continued to resist in Gwalior.
However, the momentum of the insurrection did not spread any further than that, allowing the British army to mount am all-out attack on Gwalior two months later.
It has been said Lakshmi struggled at that skirmish as well, but received a gunshot wound while taking command of the frontlines and died in battle.

Although a modern Servant, she has been endowed with divinity due a connection formed in the Indian Lostbelt.
Due unique circumstances, an offshoot of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi came to dwell in her body, placing her half-way into a Pseudo-Servant condition.
The fact that their names match has increased their magical affinity, supporting this condition.

...however, that is not accurate, and the one dwelling within her is in fact Lakshmi's elder sister, the goddess of misfortune and sorrow Alakshmi (there are also theories that she is the same being・a different aspect of Lakshmi).
Supposedly, Alakshmi is the second wife of the demon Kali that appears in the Kali Yuga.

What lies within her is actually a portion of that goddess, so she pretty much remains as the Queen Lakshmi personality-wise.
The goddess-like components that this Lakshmi Bai has are just about "the engine (fuel) called divinity", "an impulse (from Alakshmi) that she occasionally feels from deepest part parts of her body" and "the blunder component (slight disposition as a dojikko) asa goddess of misfortune that ends up leaking out from time to time".

Charisma of the Rani: B+
A skill that denotes leadership skill of a military corps, the level of her charismatic nature.
The military leadership capacity of the Queen that brought together the Jhansi Provincial Kingdom and opposed the British army.
Rani is the Hindu word for "queen".

Charging Sipahi: B
A skill that denotes how the sipahi (also called sepoy; the Indian mercenary company established by the East India Company) became the trigger of that rebellion.
For the rebellion of the Jhansi Provincial Kingdom, the cause was the manner how British soldiers stationed in Jhansi were killed by the sipahis in response to the occupation of Delhi by the rebel army.
However, since the sipahis departed for Delhi soon after, Lakshmi had to hire soldiers with her own private funds and protect Jhansi with whoever remained behind.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Nahin Dengee - The Kingdom of Rejection that Will Not Put Up With Usurpation
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1～40
Maximum Targets: 200 people
A Noble Phantasm that gave shape to her strong resolve, wish to "never hand over her motherland".

Originally, this would be a bounded-field Noble Phantasm that generates an absolute territory that defends against enemy attacks・invasion.
This is activated by connecting the causality of "that which she protects becomes her kingdom", by means of the definition that "she is an existence that wagered her life to protect the Jhansi Kingdom".

Having been summoned in the Saber Class at this instance, this is functioning as an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm by converting the concept of "rejecting foreign enemies" into an attack.
The sword flash that carries all her feelings is the very resolve that shoulders the fate of the country. Therefore, it mows down the enemy with a brilliance and burden that is comparable to a country's future, as a blade that will never bend or break.

William Tell

William Tell

William Tell (Wilhelm Tell) is a legendary individual that supposedly lived in the Uri province・central Switzerland, during the late 13th~early 14th Century.

The anecdote of how he incurred the wrath of the local bailiff by not showing respect to his hat that hanged at the plaza and was then forced to shoot an apple placed on top of his son's head is exceedingly famous.

Although widely famous as the character of a theatrical play, the people of Switzerland accept him as the hero that symbolizes their nation-founding movement.

Just lie it is depicted in the theatrical play, he is a brave man who opposes tyrants that torment the citizens.
However, he did not move out of a political・national sense of danger. if anything, his motive was a very personal one.
As a result of doing what he was supposed to do as a hunter, as a father, as a single man, he became a warrior of justice.
In other words, a true-to-life hero.
Almost as if a personification of the concept of "my father, my hero", he possesses the boldness and composure to protect his family. Sometimes acting frivolous, sometimes considerate. Also, a scary man when angry.

The story of William Tell is famous, but episode from after he saved his son is not well known.

When the apple what shot with an arrow, the evil bailiff Gessler noticed that Tell had kept concealed one extra arrow other than the one he had set in his crossbow.
As Tell hugged his son after saving him by piercing the apple with magnificent skill, Gessler inquired him about the meaning of the second arrow.
In response, he declared that "if the first arrow had pierced something other than the apple, I intended to shoot you dead with this arrow". The raging Gessler ordered that Tell were to be arrested, but he somehow escaped as they were taking away.

And then――― in order to escape from the bailiff's vengeance, in order to protect his son from the bailiff's wrath, Tell did what he was supposed to. He sniped Gessler as he rode a horse through a narrow valley path, piercing his heart.

Peace returned to the city after the tyrant was no more, Tell was extolled as a hero and the Switzerland independence movement began gaining more and more momentum after this incident―――

Aiming: EX
A skill that denotes the ability to aim carefully with a projectile weapon.
He can even shoot through an apple placed on top of his son's head.
In addition to the high power of concentration to place even his breathing and pulse under complete control, by perfectly assimilating to the external environment so not be conscious of it, he obtains the result of "hitting naturally" instead than a simple "hit". Supposedly, this is something well understood in the mentality of Oriental archery.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Apfel Schuss - Fired First Arrow of Faith
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 1 person
The name means apple shot.
The legendary single arrow from a crossbow that magnificently shot through the apple placed on top of his son's head.
This single arrow - fired while receiving the trust of a son towards his father - shall not miss by any means, piercing its objective "without fail".
This anecdote sublimated into a Noble Phantasm can even interfere with the principle of causality, making evasion fundamentally impossible.

Zweite Schuss - Unfired Second Arrow of the Second Best Choice
Rank: C+
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 1 person
His second Noble Phantasm, invoked only in the off chance that first Noble Phantasm - which "never misses" - miss.
Derived from the anecdote of how Tell concealed a second arrow to shoot the evil bailiff Gessler, after thinking about the possibility of missing the apple over his son.
This arrow is released simultaneously "in the occasion that the first arrow misses, in order to shot what comes next". In other words, a Noble Phantasm that conceptually overlaps with the first arrow as a multi-fold existence.
So long the first arrow properly hits, it will not activate.

"Everybody will die if I miss the apple above my son's head (first target), so in case of a miss I must shot the bailiff (second target) before he gives such an order"; just like this, this is something fired while deciding where to send it according to the situation.
It is also possible to select the same object as the first target and, likewise, said object will be shot through without fail by means of interference with the principle of causality.
However, prana consumption is intense, so reckless firing becomes complicated.
...although the condition of "the first arrow that always hits" missing does not happen so often.

Arjuna Alter

Arjuna Alter

Abandoning humans, abandoning the land, he became a god and exhausted himself towards heavens.
A god of destruction that reigns for the sake of a complete, perfect world.

There is a hero in Hindu Mythology that is exceedingly close to a god, capable of ending everything and starting anew.
The one who inherited this Authority of destruction from him was this Lostbelt Servant, Arjuna Alter.
He almost lost his personality as compensation, but his ego as a natural-born hero somehow managed to prevent him from becoming a mechanical existence.

After having severed his relationship with the gods and been summoned as a single Heroic Spirit, he recovers his original humanity as the Ascension progresses.

At first, he conducts himself as a complete disciple of destruction that has almost completely lost his humanity. A compensation for being endowed with both divinity and the skill Anti-Evil as an Authority from the "one who brings about the end".

However, Arjuna can barely recover his humanity after repeated Ascensions.
In that case, the figure of a young man that is slightly more naive than Archer Arjuna will come into view.
Archer Arjuna has an aspect that is constantly forcing himself to be a Servant worthy of his Master, but Arjuna Alter lacks that.

While Archer Arjuna distinguishes the idealized image of a hero in his way of being, as a Lostbelt Servant, Arjuna Alter holds an aspiration towards Archer Arjuna as a proud hero.

In the Indian Lostbelt, he reigned as a perfect god.
Having his original personality painted out, he was on the verge of becoming a true deus ex machina... a concept that existed solely to maintain the reincarnation of the world.

However, due the fact that the personality that governed Arjuna's egoism still remained (even if that was just to the point of wanting to win against someone, to remain excellent, to hate and get angry at something), he ironically ended up recovering his humanity.
It was the wish... desire to 'win against Karna for sure this time' that managed to bring him back to being a human.
In the Indian Lostbelt, he went on a rampage due to absorbing the Authorities of all the gods and turned into a concept that showed no tolerance to anything even a little imperfect. But upon being summoned as a Servant, the only thing that he does not forgive are the evils that oppose his Master, and one can also catch a glimpse of the gentle personality that the Arjurna of pan-human history originally has.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Mahapralaya - Ring Swinging of the Sword that Arbitrates the Overturn
Rank: EX

Range: 100
Maximum Targets: Everything within range
The other power bestowed to Arjuna, along with "Anti-Evil". Such is this Mahapralaya.
In order to destroy evil, in order to put an end to the world, he is fated to brandish this sword at the end of everything.
If this sword is brandished, everything will be extinguished.
Mahapralaya denotes how the cosmos will be overturned at the occasion of Brahma's death... in other words, the saṃvartakalpa.

Even the peerless Arjurna cannot brandish this sword and fully display its powers while in a condition of being summoned as a Servant. However, this is just like "Pashupata" in terms of generating a condensed・restricted destruction, so it seems that Arjuna himself does not feel uncomfortable regarding its use.

Ashvatthaman

Ashvatthaman

The one who must rage and fight.
The strongest warrior of the Brahmin, extolled as Karna's equal in the Mahabharata.
The personification of indignation... that is Ashvatthaman.

One of the heroes of the Mahabharata.
His father is the Brahmin hero Drona.
In that great war sung in the epic poem, he took the side of Duryodhana together with his father and unfolded a lurid conflict against the Pandavas along with Karna.

Having gone into a fit of anger after all the major players of his own side died off, including Karna, he broke his oath as a warrior and carried out a night raid.
It has been said that he slaughtered thousands of men at that occasion.

At any rate, he does nothing but rage.
He rages at absurdity, rages at sadness, rages at arrogance.
Still, he has vowed not to hate them.
He constantly wishes to remain as an existence that objects against the unreasonable world.

He blows away all clever arguments and complacently blows away those he cannot agree with, no matter who it may be.
In a Holy Grail War, he is the type of Servant whose compatibility with the Master becomes essential. If their compatibility is bad, then even a self-destruct on the very first battle is possible.

Revenge incited revenge, and offence bred even further offence. Supposedly, Ashvatthaman performed a forbidden night raid due excessive rage and brought down his enemies.

Greatly Revered Warrior: A+
Something that sublimated his anecdotes of being extolled as one of the greatest warriors of the Mahabharata, comparable to Karna and Arjuna.
By means of a combination with Violation of Chivalry and Personification of Indignation, he might become more of a mad warrior than even a Berserker.

Every time he was summoned as a Servant, he held on to this giant charkra, freely employed it as a weapon and kept carving it in his records as a warrior.

In other words, his way of using a chakra is completely self-taught, an original that was not learned from anyone.

Asclepius

Asclepius

Asclepius is a Greek hero who studied medicine under Kheiron and later came to be known as the "God of Medicine".
Also, a member of the Argonauts lead by Iason.

A child of Apollon, he eventually came to possess enough power to even resurrect the dead, but was killed by the thunder of a god that viewed that as a problem.

Apollon copulated with a woman named Coronis.
However, Apollon ended up killing her out of rage when a crow informed him of her infidelity, also changing the crow's feathers (which were white until then) to black. Still, Apollon came to regret killing Coronis, so he picked up the child (Asclepius) in her belly that was on verge of being cremated and entrusted him to the sage Kheiron for raising.

Asclepius learned medicine and hunting under Kheiron, eventually coming to demonstrate even greater ingenuity in medicine than Kheiron.
His medicine would reach the point of resurrecting people by means of a medicine manufactured from the Gorgon's blood provided by Athena.
However, if men were to overcome death, the realm of the dead would lose its raison d'être.
Sensing danger, the God of Underworld Hades appealed for Zeus to deal with him (he could not interfere with Asclepius directly since he was a child of Apollon), and Zeus shot him down with a thunder.

In order to soothe Apollon's anger for having his son killed, Zeus elevated the dead Asclepius to the seat of gods (the constellation Ophiuchus).

A skill that denotes that one belongs to the genealogy of the Greek god Apollon.
While Apollon was a deity that governed over many things - such as archery, performing arts, prophecy and the sun - he was also a god of pestilence that governed over medicine as a manifestation of his dual nature.

God of Medicine: EX
A skill that denotes his existence as a god of medical science, the founder of the concept called "medical treatment​" that was transmitted until modern times.
According to another theory, Kheiron was supposedly the first to ever perform therapies by means of medicinal herbs, while Asclepius learned and further developed those into the first ever "clinical treatment".

The revival medicine to resurrect the dead produced by Asclepius.
...or so it should have been, but this Noble Phantasm is not the "real deal" and just a medicine that imitates it.
The revival medicine that he actually manufactured in the past was something that employed one-of-a-kind special ingredients, and is not something that he can automatically pull out as a Noble Phantasm even after becoming a Heroic Spirit.
Therefore, in a regular Holy Grail War, he will have to employ this mock-revival medicine.
Since it is an imitation, its efficacy is inferior to the original and many conditions must be met for it to actually resurrect the dead.
Things like the elapsed time since the death and the condition of the corpse.
Having gained modern knowledge, he describes it as "merely something akin to a well-made AED" in a self-derision manner.
Also, that imitation medicine itself is also quite precious and cannot be used many times over.

Resurrection Float Hades - True Medicine・Lamentation of the Unnecessary Underworld
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World
Range: -
Maximum Targets: -
The very own revival medicine that intruded into the territory of Hades and angered.
It has the power to completely revive humans and demigods even from very absurd conditions.
It has been said he employed this to resurrect Glaucus (son of King Minos) and Hyppolytus (son of Theseus).
The ingredient for this medicine is the Gorgon's blood that Athena handed over to him (Athena herself was given it by Perseus).
Supposedly, the blood that flowed out from the left side of Gorgon's body brought ruin to people, while the blood that flowed from her right side had the power to save people.

To tell the truth, merely being extracting blood from the Gorgon will not do the trick. Since he supposedly "received the power of Artemis" when reviving Hyppolytus, it probably can only come to completion once this blood is charged with with a god's power of high purity (on the same level as Athena and Artemis). Other things may also be necessary as secret ingredient​s. In the end, that revival medicine of the past was not produced only by his medicine, but also the intervention of many factors and coincidences. Also, it is not like Asclepius has fully mastered this revival medicine's recipe himself either.

―――naturally, this is exactly why he putting his whole heart into its reproduction even to this day.

Fundamentally not employed in FGO.

Oda Nobunaga (Avenger)

Demon Lord Nobunaga

The Demon Lord of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga. She has a Saint Graph that can be described as an aggregation of all the possible Nobunagas in the past, present and future.
An extremely unique Heroic Spirit whose manifestation was believed to be possible only within a certain peculiar space, but for some reason she achieved the current manifestation.

Oda Nobunaga: the Nobunaga whose figure is closest to that of Nobunaga's original Saint Graph. While that way of describing it may not be strictly correct, we shall leave it at that for the sake of convenience.

Although summoned in the Avenger Class, this condition is close to when she is summoned as an Archer.
However, even for a Heroic Spirit, the karma of fear and resentment from the masses that dwells in her body (as an enemy of gods, buddhas and all living things) was not something that could be completely contained within the Saint Graph from someone that "originally was just a human", causing Nobunaga's possibilities to be edified after repeated Ascensions.
While it may sound nice calling it many possibilities, but what awaits at the end of all that is a loss of meaning due diffusion. Nobunaga herself is aware of this, although she does not speak of it.

As a new weaponry, she acquired a mysterious ultra arquebus, something like a demon lord's gatling cannon. An arquebus that can rapid-fire by rotating, isn't that super amusing?

"Well, at the end of the day, don't you think that I am the most lovely and cute of all me? Or rather, isn't the tallest me kind of scary?"

Oda Kippoushi: Kippoushi is Oda Nobunaga's childhood name.
In her infancy, she performed many queer deed and was called a fool by the people around her.

The figure of a gallant young warrior that is a vivid reminder of the Fool of Owari's period, which was unprecedented and precarious of all the periods in Nobunaga's lifetime. The vigour that rise up from that body and the heated blood that gushes out displays the actual conditions of this Saint Graph, as the soldier of fortune Nobunaga who opened a new age.

Incidentally, the sword shining on her hips is the Souzasamonji plundered from Imagawa Yoshimoto, during the Battle of Okehazama.

"Actually, I didn't actually call myself Kippoushi back at that time. That being said, in such an amusing place where there are other Nobunagas beside me, this is easier to understand, right? Wahahahahaha!"

Demon Lord Nobunaga: among all the possible Nobunaga's, she is the most distant and the one closest to the abyss.
Calling herself the Demon Lord of the Sixth Heavens, she has metamorphosed into an existence worthy of being described as a true demon lord, as her body (which is both hollow and mighty) has been scorched by the fear and awe towards the Nobunagas from all ages.

However, she does not repudiates gods and buddhas on a fundamental level. Instead, this figure denotes Nobunaga's conviction that "human possibilities belong to humans. Gods and buddhas are to be respected but not relied on. Or rather, who the hell would want to become divine?".
The so called Innocent Monster, but the way of being of Demon Lord Nobunaga as an anti-hero that became an enemy of gods and buddhas and imposes a harsh life on all living things is close to the way of being of the heavenly demons, who are said to ultimately become allies of Buddhism.

"I am Demon Lord Nobunaga--- the one who surpassed the Nirmannarati and metamorphosed into an enemy of gods, buddhas and all living things!"

Also, it is important to note that this "Demon Lord Nobunaga" is not the ultimate Nobunaga. While she one of the strongest forms produced by the story called "Nobunaga", that does not mean that she is its "ultimate". If anything, she is the one who appears in the place furthest away from the "truth"--- a human-shaped flame that burns brightly at the nirvana

Something like a double-edged sword, in which she continues to burn her own body in exchange for the release of a powerful magical energy. Is that a judgement towards herself, who disappeared amid the flames, or maybe...

As If a Dream: B
Being constantly on the receiving end of the corrective force of the world due to her mighty powers and the abnormality of her way of being, the existence of Demon Lord Nobunaga is hollow and her Saint Graph itself is in a hazy condition as well.

A grotesque figure that surpasses even the demon lord of the sixth heavens, in which the fear and awe from all living things that was instilled in Nobunaga on past, present and future dwells in her body. It metamorphoses her into a true demon lord, the heavenly demon lord of the trisahasra mahasahasra that destroys gods and buddhas. The final stop of the crimson anti-hero that burns mystery to nothing, "Demon Lord Nobunaga".

Since this form originally could not possibly exist in history, its very existence is unstable and confined to a short term manifestation.

Mori Nagayoshi

Mori Nagayoshi

A military commander of the Sengoku period.
The son of Mori Yoshinari, a meritorious retainer of the Oda House, and the older brother of the Mori Naritoshi (Ranmaru) that became famous as Nobunaga's attendant.
A brave warrior who inherited his father's (who was extolled as the "Sanza(1) of attack") bravery and spearmanship, he accomplished many military achievements and became famous as the "Oni Musashi".

An individual with an extremely violent disposition, it has been said that when a checkpoint guard told him to dismount his horse and state his family name, he ragingly tried to cut him down without a second thought while saying "I might have forgiven you if we were in the presence of Lord Nobunaga, but who are you to tell this Katsuzou (Mori Nagayoshi) to dismount his horse?!", threatened to put the city on fire when people tried to restrain him and coercively forced his way through.
He has an abundance of similar anecdotes such as raging when told to dismount at a bridge that had just been completed and cutting (redacted).
Incidentally, the one who told him to dismount and state his family name was none other than Nobunaga herself. Yet, for some reason she forgave him.
According to Nobunaga---

"It cannot be helped, since he is the Oni Musashi".

In his first battle, he raided the enemy camp and obtained 27 head prizes. Due overkilling the enemy forces at the Siege of Takatou, during the Koushuu Seibatsu(2), his lower armour became bright red from their blood, which caused his allies to mistake him as severely wounded. As you can see, despite boasting to be an excellent warrior, he was also more brutal than necessary.
On the other hand, he was able to handle the management of his fief flawlessly, and one could even say he excelled at it. Practiced tea ceremony as a hobby, and also displayed an intellectual aspect that enjoyed reading. What's up with that?

Other than a Berserker, he also has the qualifications for the Lancer and Rider Classes, but for some reason the skill Mad Enhancement will invariably come along regardless in which class he is summoned.

Nagayoshi ran through the Sengoku period while behaving completely insolent, but he lost his life while still young after receiving a gun wound in the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute. Although it has been said that not only the enemy, but even his allies overjoyed at Nagayoshi's death, the authenticity of this is unknown.

At any rate, while Nagayoshi may have accumulated many ambiguous anecdotes of pointless violence, he never once pointed a spear at his lord throughout his lifetime. Even now, after being summoned as a Servant, his loyalty towards the Master that he has approved is the same as the one that he showed to his lord, so there is no worries of being betrayed by him.

However, it is impossible to say whether said loyalty will take a shape that is desirable by the Master...

Blood-Soaked Recklessness: A
A skill derived from blood-reeking anecdotes, such as dyeing his hakama bright red with the spurt of blood from his victims. His attack power increases the more the strikes at the enemy, but defensive power decreases in exchange.

Mental Pollution (Wicked): B
An abnormal mentality that is displayed in the battlefield. He rampages as it becomes difficult to properly come to a mutual understanding with all targets, including the Master. His brutality is strengthened, and he continues to fight until either the enemy has been killed off or he dies.

Testament of the Oni Musashi: C
A testament left behind by Nagayoshi. It display differing effects at two different timings - when the skill is first used and when he is put out-of-combat. The hard to believe anecdote - of not only his enemy, but even his allies overjoying when he lost his life - turned into a skill.

Nagao Kagetora

Nagao Kagetora

Extolled as Japan's unparalleled military commander in terms of warfare, the daimyo of Echigo during the Sengoku period that would later be called a War God, Nagao Kagetora.
She would present herself as an avatar of Bishamonten and spend her life trying to subdue the world of warring states by means of righteousness.

"I do not take arms out of personal bias.
Simply provide assistance to somewhere else according to proper reason!"

After consolidating the Echigo province (which was a continuous victim of domestic conflict), she dispatched troops countless times after receiving calls for rescue from other provinces and unfolded many wars against the likes of the Takeda and the Houjou.
In the battleground, she always stood in the vanguard and commanded her army by means of overwhelming charisma and tactical genius. She experienced around 70 conflicts in her lifetime, but never once lost a major battle.

She changed name several times throughout her life, calling herself Nagao Kagetora, Uesugi Masatora and ultimately Uesugi Terutora. Her most famous name, Kenshin, is in fact a Dharma name taken much later.

"Eh? The name Kenshin is more famous than Kagetora!?"

Kagetora worried daily.
"In the battlefield, would it be better to bring a sword or a spear? Which equipment is the strongest... Arquebus? That is no good since it doesn't hit."

On a certain day, she opened her eyes to the truth upon meeting a grotesque statue of Bishamonten holding eight swords - the "Touhachi Bishamonten".
"That's right, I should just bring out everything, sword and spear together!"

What appeared in the next day was the figure of the War God of Echigo as she brandished eight weapons, designated as the 'eight flowers provision', and lively rampaged on the battlefield.

The birth of the strongest, peerless Sengoku general - "Full Armor Kagetora-chan".

Calling herself an incarnation of Bishamonten, Kagetora endeavoured to protect the people as an example of the human principle called morality. But due being born with too much strength for a person, in her entire life, she never managed to understand the existence called 'weak humans'.

Unable to comprehend the subtleties of human emotions such as sadness and anger, Kagetora achieved a compromise with her surroundings by means of smiling alone. However, the retainers that were struck by her transcendental​(1) words and conduct eventually came to fear Kagetora, and that fear gradually changed into a fanatic form of faith. Thus, the even more inhuman way of life of gods and buddhas was forced upon Kagetora.

For such Kagetora, it was only possible to feel something as a human being during the deadly conflicts of the battlefield, the instants when life and death met.

After death, that transcendental​(1) way of life caused her to be set up in the seat of gods as a war god. There is no longer a way to know if that was her original intention or not.

My Luck Lies in Heavens: A
Believing in the divine protection of Bishamonten, Kenshin receives plus modifiers in all actions performed in the battlefield.

My Armour Lies Within My Chest: A
A defensive skill towards projective weapons.
A skill derived from the anecdote of how, in her previous life, she calmly drank alcohol before the enemy bullets as bullets flied about, and yet all shots passed right by her.
Since her intense self-confidence causes a phenomenon akin to event manipulation(2) and bends even the trajectory of the projective, no bullet will ever hit her unless she believes that is the case.
However, it is possible to break through this divine protection by charging such a vigour in one's shot that it causes her to believe it will hit.

My Feats Lie By My Feet: A
The tactical intuition ability of Kagetora, who was extolled as Japan's peerless in terms of warfare. In her lifetime, Kagetora experienced over 70 engagements and won in most of them, but she is somewhat weak in castle sieges.

Little Da Vinci (Rider)

Leonardo da Vinci

An artificial Heroic Spirit cast by Da Vinci.
At any rate, energetic and precocious!
Dashing across the battlefield on a roller skate, an innocent and beautiful Hybrid Servant who fights with the Ultimo Manipulator that is deployed from an almighty satchel.

"Eh, 'who are you after all?' you ask.
Well of course, I am an alter ego that the almighty genius - Leonardo da Vinci - casted in preparations for the Second Grand Order and the world's greatest secretary-type beautiful girl―――
In other words, the lassie Da Vinci-chan!"

Personality:
While fundamentally the same as Da Vinci, she has a somewhat stronger qualities as a young girl. Her speech is more gentle and she also mixes in some girlish vocabulary in the middle.
What is found at her handling of others and the basis of her remarks is not the "admonishment from above as a teacher, wise person", but an student-like nuance of "I want you to teach me, as someone who is will learn about everything from now on".
"Read this book for me!"; like a young girl who pester you in such a way.

Unlike other Heroic Spirits, Da Vinci was a personification of the spirit of inquiry・desire of self-improvement even after becoming a Servant. Regardless of being the dream of a dead person, he remained a person who lived in the present (moment).
That way of being remains the same even in the little Da Vinci. She too runs around day and night in order to achieve the greatest accomplishment that she can. That being said, she is dissatisfied・insecure about her present self and her decreased output.
"Am I as capable as my previous self?"; that she is uttering such a thing is a manifestation of that fact.
Even if she has inherited all the memories of the previous Da Vinci, those are not the experiences of the little Da Vinci.
That is why she admires it.
That "single year that my original self spent together with Chaldea's staff".
And, at the same time, she yearns for it.
A memory that is comparable to it. All while having a sense of responsibility about leaving behind an accomplishment that she can boast about even when compared to that meritorious deed​.

"An anthropic principle that was born to attend(1) to the travel of the second season"

An artificial Heroic Spirit cast by Da Vinci.
Mona Kadmon.
Da Vinci created a copy of herself in preparation for a worst case scenario, while taking into account the "dark clouds beyond the year of 2017" that naturally could be predicted after the Anthropic Principle Incineration Incident.
Da Vinci worked in Chaldea while remaining without a Master (she created a doll of herself and defined that as her Master), but that was only possible thanks to Chaldea's electric energy.
So she meant to create a "substitute" that could support the Master in her place, in the occasion that leaving for a quest outside Chaldea became necessary.
Although it was not her intention, the Third Successful Summoning Case of Chaldea - Leonardo da Vinci - departed by the hands of Rasputin.
Afterwards, Little Da Vinci would then take over for her.

Instead of a Heroic Spirit, little Da Vinci is actually a kind of homunculus, golem. She does not need a Master and can take action almost like any human. However, her lifespan is short, with all her functions being fated to to stop within a year.

Both Da Vinci and little Da Vinci were aware of that from the beginning. Little Da Vinci has no dissatisfaction or fear towards her period of activity. She simply smiled while saying "this is how lifeforms work".
Although she asks to "let me hear about something new", that is not due to sorrows of parting, lingering attachment. Rather, it is derived from her spirit of inquiry and longing - wanting to know as much "wonderful things" as possible within her allotted time.

Although her almightiness decreased with the miniaturization, this is only on the level of "a child cannot reach on top of the shelves, right? That is what this is all about". The range (genre) of what she knows does not change, but what is within the scope of her reach is more limited.
If she were to devote her undivided attention to something for a long time, it would be possible of her to do the same things as the previous Da Vinci. However, little Da Vinci simply "does not have such time left".

Her True Name is Gran Cavallo (derived from the unfinished "Gran Cavallo (giant horse)" sculpture made by Da Vinci).

Golden Rule (Body): EX
The range of her almightiness became more confined due the miniaturization, but her Golden Rule increased in exchange.
It was already fruitless to argue about Da Vinci's gender to begin with, but maybe she got closer to an "angel" (in the religious sense) by attaining a little girl's body.

Accel Turn: B
A skill that was inspired on the summer goddess Ishtar.
As an excellent driver, she can perform emergency evasion at critical moments.

Overhaul: E
By scattering nanomachines cast from pseudo-spirit particles, she can "restore" the conditions of the entire party.
At high Ranks, it would not only recover damaged weapons and injured Saint Graphs, but even bring the NP back to its starting conditions, from when the battle began. Still, the Da Vinci that is stuck on a little girl's frame cannot display that much of a performance.

A Dream to the Stars: D
The hope and conclusion embraced by those cast as transient lifeforms.
This Leonardo da Vinci has lost the skill "Pioneer of the Stars".
However, the reason for why intelligent life was born from that soul and the truth that the short lived should aim for dwell inside of her in the form of "art" (created from the "greatest intellect of mankind" named Da Vinci, the little girl Da Vinci has also inherited said intellect and achieved the truth of the "objectivity, farsightedness derived from being a manufactured, short-lived life-form" that Mash and the other homunculi possess.

Jason

Iason

The son of Aison, king of Iolkos. His name was Diomedes originally, but it got changed to Iason when he was put into the care of Kheiron.
He went through many adventures as the captain of the Argo ship.

When Iason demanded that Pelias (the half-brother of his father Aison) returned the throne that he had usurped, he requested the Golden Fleece as a condition.
Iason then built a single ship and recruited adventurers from all over Greece.
The ship's name was Argo, while its crew were called Argonauts.

Herakles, Kainis, Atalante, Castor, Pollux, Orpheus and others. At the end of the great adventure of the ship that gathered such numerous heroes, Iason took back the Golden Fleece. However, at that occasion, Iason cajoled Medea and turned her into his wife. He done it.(1)

...what happened after that goes without saying.
Jealousy invited hatred, and hatred summoned revenge.
It has been said that Iason had everything stolen from him - including his status and honor - and then died crushed by the bow of his ship when he hanged his head at the Argo's prow.

Timid, coward and yet his longing towards heroes is greater than others; for better and for worse, he has a personality that is "unbefitting" of a hero.
Still, just like how Medea once said in the battle of the Timeless Temple, he is the type of person whose "brains become more clear the more cornered he is". In the Greek Lostbelt as well, he displayed his true abilities after being driven into a predicament.
In addition, for someone that thinks about matters rationally like Odysseys, a person like Iason - who leave things to chance once he has fallen into a dilemma - is an extremely bad match.

In that sense, even after being summoned as a Servant, it might be a little difficult for him to lead the life full of glory that he desires so much.
There are even opinions that he unconsciously tries to make himself fall into a dilemma, knowingly or not.
"Don't push me, don't you dare push me!?" or something like that.

Paris

Paris

The Trojan hero Hektor, one of the Nine Worthies.
Paris was his younger brother and the one who began the Trojan War by taking away Helene (even though she was promissed to him by a goddess) from King Meneraos.
He struggled together with Hektor and, after Hektor's death, played a role in shooting down Achilleus.

Born as the son of Priamos, king of Troy, Paris was abandoned at the summit of Mt. Ide due a prophet predicting that "a child that will soon be born shall lead Troy to ruin".

However, the baby was able to survive thanks to the milk of a she-bear. Having witnessed that, Agelaos (the man who abandoned Paris at the king's orders) decided to raise him together with his own children.
In addition, the name Paris means "sack" and is derived​ from the fact that he was put into a sack when carried to the mountains.

Having grown into an impeccable pretty boy, Paris was once day entrusted with refereeing (judge) which of three goddess - Athena, Aphrodite or Hera - was the most beautiful.
Hera proclaimed that she would bestow him a throne and wealth, while Athena said she would provide victory and good looks. But Paris choose Aphrodite when she promised to give him Helene - the most beautiful woman in Greece.

However, Helene was the wife of Meneraos already, so Paris inevitably had to steal her away from him.

Furthermore, the men who once competed for the position of Helene's husband had made a pledge to cooperate with each other in the event of her being stolen.
Conflict could no longer be avoided, and a war against the Greek alliance fell upon Troy.
It was the beginning of what would later be called the Trojan War.

Pure, innocent and gallant; all are human aspects that are perceived in a positive way, but those alone make up for a bad disposition - or so his critics say.
For better or worse, he is a straightforward person. As soon as he learned that Helene was enduring an unhappy married life, he hijacked her.
Although instigated by the gods, that action in itself was righteous.

Hektor knew that the actions of his younger brother Paris would bring about some tricky troubles, but he did not stop them.
For he understood that, whatever the reasons may be, wars inconspicuously happen when they have to happen and that there is no room for compromise from the moment that both sides placed their pride at stake.

In the Trojan War, Paris met an ending filled with regret and disappointment.
Still, one could say that he is earnest in a sense, as he faces challenges with simple honesty without sulking upon being summoned.

However, one must be cautious of the Apollon that came together with him.
He thinks of Paris' preservation as foremost and does not takes anything else into consideration - not even the Master.

Gareth

Gareth

One of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. The Seventh Seat of the Round Table.
A young knight whose brothers are Gawain, Gaheris and Agravain.
One of the children born between King Lot and Morgan le Fay.
The Knight of Treachery Mordred is her younger brother by a different father.

Also goes by the name Gaheriez.
Or maybe, Beaumains (beautiful hands).

Gareth was the latest addition to the Round Table, a knight lacking in experience.
She revered all the senior members of the Knights of the Round Table.
In particular, she was very attached to Sir Lancelot and often followed him around.
While undergoing much training as an apprentice knight, and even after becoming a formal member of the Knights of the Round Table, she would not serve together with the her eldest brother Gawain like Gaheris, but instead chose a standing that was somewhat closer to Lancelot's attendant.

Gareth was cherished by many as an existence full of potential. Let alone her brothers, even the other Knights of the Round Table acknowledged her as "someone who will someday become the most excellent of knights", "eventually become a true knight, comparable to all her brothers".

When Agravain attempted to fabricate a scene to indict the infidelity between Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot, he pressured for her cooperation.
Gareth replied that she "could not say anything weird about Sir Lancelot, who invested me as a knight" and then left the scene while lost in sadness

Afterwards, although he was able catch Lancelot in the act of infidelity, Agravain ended up losing his life after having the tables turned on him. Gareth was ordered to stand witness of Guinevere's execution (who had been arrested for the crime), but she did while completely unarmed - after saying "please understand that I will not be going out of my own will". That led to further misfortune.

While completely defenceless, Gareth had her skull smashed by Lancelot, who had came to rescue Guinevere.

Many lost their lives in this series of events.
Agravain, Gaheris and Gareth―――
Who really knows of Sir Gawain's grief for having lost his siblings.
And thus, the Round Table developed a crack​ and the glory of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table met its end.

A tragic girl knight with a disposition of a courageous puppy.
No matter what happens, she will not betray someone who she came to idolize.
Even after death.
Just as denoted by her past way of life.

Prizing chivalry​, she believes in justice and abides to it.
She holds pride in being a subordinate of the King of Knights, and even now feels that being chosen as a member of the Round Table was the greatest honor of her life.

She also still revers Sir Lancelot.
Even if, on that day when everything ended.
Her own figure was not discerned by the eyes of the knight who proceeded to rescue Queen Guinevere.
Or even, if he did perceive her, yet still killed her without hesitation.

Also, when she challenged King Arthur to a jousting match at another occasion, the King praised that fighting style as like a "raging wolf".

Bartholomew Roberts

Bartholomew Roberts

Bartholomew Roberts is a great pirate that led the greatest pirate fleet in the history of piracy.
Contrary to the rough image related to the term pirate, he created extremely strict regulations and restrained betrayal and internal struggle.
The large fleet that Bartholomew led continuously produced terrific military gains, but he died in battle during a conflict with the Navy.

A smart and polished dandy. With a gentle demeanour, his handsomeness have caught the eyes of men and women alike since he was born.
However, as expected of someone who aspired to become a pirate, his personality matches that of Blackbeard.
Bartholomew often says "don't lump me together with Blackbeard", but that is only in regards to his appearance and speech; he is pretty much in agreement with Blackbeard's perception that "a pirate is someone who steals, steals, steals thoroughly, only to have everything stolen away from him in the end".

It is not like Bartholomew wanted to become a pirate from the very beginning. He originally worked as a second mate in a ship named Princess, but one day it was captured by a pirate ship led by Captain Davies. Inevitably, he had to become a pirate himself.
Still, maybe he had an inborn temperament as a pirate, he ended up being selected by the executive staff to succeed Captain Davies after his death. Surprisingly, not even six weeks have passed since the day he joined the crew.

Bartholomew accomplished a gorgeous debut as a pirate, but one day he came across some trouble when the aide that he put in charge of house-sitting ended up stealing his ship and spoils and disappearing.
In order to make sure that such a thing never happened again, he drafted a set of regulations. He then had his subordinates recite and swear to uphold them while holding a Bible.
Supposedly, other than the equal division of booty, a list of banned things - such as a ban against drinking bouts after 8:00 PM (unfortunately, not many subordinates honestly upheld this) and a ban against gambling - and even a guarantee of insurance payment in case one was forced to retire due to injury sustained during piracy were clearly written in those regulations.
In addition, although many among the crew opposed this, he would also release individuals who refused to become pirates after having their ships captured.

Since he was a pirate, his fate was naturally a gruesome one.

Upon receiving a surprise attack from a vessel named Swallow, Bartholomew attempted to rout his ship for a counter-attack, but he unluckily received a direct hit of a cannon ball in the throat during the enemy's volley firing.
Upon seeing him suddenly collapse, his subordinates called up to him while saying "try fighting like a man, Captain", but he was already dead by then.
After his death, the subordinates that instantly lost their will to fight surrendered. Most of them were executed by hanging as pirates (the musicians were acquitted, as they were just in charge of playing musical instruments and thus did not participate in actual piracy).

It is unsure whatever his covered-eyes preferences went all the way back to his previous life, but his summoned self does nothing but speak about the charms of the covered-eyes.
In case of a proper Master, it would be just right to simply turn aside his fast-talking from left to right.

Because the abilities as a leader of a crowd are necessary, this is a unique skill that also combines the effects of Charisma and Military Tactics.

A skill that indicates how excellent one's piracy is.
Going as far as lead the greatest pirate group in the world, Bartholomew performed plundering in a brilliant manner.

Among his feats, his piracy of over 42 Portuguese ships is a stuff of legends. The story goes that he obtained not only commodities such as sugar and tabacco, but also 40,000 moidores and a cross with embedded diamonds created for the King of Portugal.

Chen Gong

Chen Gong

A military commander from the closing years of the Chinese Later Han period.
An individual born in the Wuyang County, Dong Commandery, Yanzhou (by modern standards, that would be around the city of Liaocheng, Shandong province, Shenzian).
He served under Cao Cao (who would later become a hegemon) and earned his trust, yet rebelled against him and looked up at Lu Bu (the accomplished villain of those turbulent times) as his lord, competing with Cao Cao for supremacy.
After many defeats, he lost his life together with Lu Bu in the city of Pizhou.
In the end, what awaited him was Cao Cao's personal interrogation and execution.

A sadist that leaves even Lu Bu amazed.
He is aggressive despite appearing to have a scholarly temperament. A rational, iron-like person that suppresses fear with reason while on the battlefield, behaving in a dignified, detached manner.
A gallant warrior, a cold-bloodedness strategist and a stubborn person that never yield his convictions.
Although he can fight head-on, he will also employ the likes of betrayals and sneak-attacks as reasonable measures if it is for the sake of victory.

Despite impartially agreeing with the opponents' opinions・principles, he will flatly reject them by saying "but I do not think so" and thoroughly crush them. That figure, which does not care about people's feelings, would probably even look like a ruthless machine.

Although he has talent as a strategist, he was actually an expert of the bow to begin with. However, it is impossible to rule over an entire country by merely being skilful with a bow.
"An individual's military might only amounts to so much", he abandoned the bow and studied military tactics while saying such a thing.
Such a hasty conclusion was smashed to pieces when he met Lu Bu, who could aspire to obtain supremacy over the nation with just "individual might". Thereafter, he began to work together with Lu Bu.

In the world of "Fate", Chen Gong (whose true origins are unknown) is a descendant of China's oldest civilization - the Xia dynasty - and an engineer who inherited its literature and technology.
Be that as it may, the weapons of the Xia dysnasty were not something that mere humans could handle.
They were all things that could not be handled unless one had mystery (in order words, magic circuits) within oneself. Chen Gong himself ridiculed them as "such a futile knowledge" at first, but upon seeing Lu Bu and his lightning energy-overflowing body, he thought "oh, I found a qualified individual" and began to devote himself to the development of Chinese gadgets.
Supposedly, since Lu Bu felt tormented by the vigor that he himself could not control, the fact that all the weapons prepared by Chen Gong not only suited him well but also appeased his fury caused him to rely on Chen Gong even more.

His wish for the Holy Grail is complicated; although there is the ambition that he had given up on in his previous life... "to rule the country and create an ideal (as far as he is concerned) society"...., there is also the joy as a strategist... "to work for the ideal (as far as he is concerned) lord to the bitter end".

A realist that dislikes futile efforts despite his aggressive personality; so as far as Chen Gong is concerned, modern society is an answer of sorts. In his eyes, it goes like "Oh, so it became like this. In that case, isn't this acceptable? If the number of people dying pointlessly is less than half of the whole, you could say that society is working smoothly, right?"

As such, upon becoming a Servant, his wish as a strategist is being prioritized somewhat and he is placing great expectations on the Master as his employer.
"Please, be an employer that brilliantly expends the 'mechanisms' that my humble self have hoped, but once gave up on".

"As a strategist, it is only natural to be skilled at employing others. Only that in my case, the benefit of "making use of others feels simply too good" is also mixed in"

Strategist’s Advice: B++
The "++" is derived from the fact that he managed to make Lu Bu obey him.
Does this mean that, in a critical moment, he can provide "an advice to his lord" that surpasses even Kongming?

Strategist's Aspiration: A
Chen Gong; the man who ran across the battlefield together with the hero of betrayal - Lu Bu.
While Chen Gong was coldhearted・cool-headed, even he possessed the conviction, passion of a warrior.
The oath of the soul to "die for the sake of this lord", "to die together this lord". In other words, the long-cherished wish of a strategist.
A "Hero Creation" performed only on Servants of the Berserker Class.

Chen Gong's dastard Noble Phantasm that employs the leftover parts that remained when he produced God Force to apply a temporary super reinforcement on an ally... without anyone noticing, as a super small-type magic circuit accelerator... and makes him go supercritical​ while also bestowing super attack power.
It causes damage to the entire enemy camp at the cost of a single sacrifice of his own camp. In simple terms "a Stella(2) performed at the cost of someone else's life". That's the worst.

"We throw the strongest of our side against the strongest on the enemy side.
What is left after that is just a skirmish between minor troops.
Now let us put things back to how they were―――"

such is Chen Gong's stock phrase, which he refreshingly recites​ while looking down on the enemy camp that was scattered by the explosion of a military commander.

In order to mitigate this exceedingly terrible (bad) impression, he employs the illusionary arts of a magecraft scroll from the Ancient Xia dynasty to display the scene of "for some reason, the enemy camp exploded when Chen Gong fired some amazing arrow", camouflaging the truth.

Charlotte Corday

Charlotte Corday

Charlotte Corday is the woman who assassinated the leader of the Jacobin faction, Jean-Paul Marat, during the French Revolution.
She gained fame due her lovely features and dexterity to single-handedly execute an assassination plan, being extolled as the "l'ange de l'assassinat" (angel of assassination).

A lively, precocious, dynamic and yet modest young girl.
Having reading as a hobby, if nothing had happened she would probably have spent her entire life in a convent without leaving her name on history.
However, her fate changed when the convent was closed due the after-effects of the French Revolution.

The motives that led her to decide to assassinate Jean-Paul Marat are extremely complex; but to put them in simple terms, one could say that it was "to save all people".
She deemed Marat - who incited the masses and continued to shed blood of the sake of the Revolution - as the main culprit behind the chaotic France of those times.

A reckless plan that would never succeed under normal circumstances. However, all sorts of conditions - such as coincidence・good fortune・contempt - worked to her favor and she was able to accomplish the assassination in the end.

Although later investigations attempted to discern if there were any collaborators to her assassination plan, it was ultimately concluded that it was merely to the extent of a certain individual being deceived by her words to send a letter of introduction and that Charlotte Corday almost certainly planned the assassination by herself.

She was executed with the guillotine, and Charles-Henri Sanson was the one in charge at the time.
Sanson spent only two hours with her (the time it took to walk from her prison to the gallows​), but he would praise her in his memoirs saying that "she maintained a brave and gentle attitude until the end, without ever displaying fear or anger".

As far as she is concerned, her second life begins with disappointment and frustration. That is because, according to her conclusions derived from the knowledge installed in her, the assassination that she carried out was not enough to change history nor it could be said that the world became a better place thanks to it.
Consequentially, she has a slight tendency for self-mockery and self-depreciation​ during the time right after her summoning.
She will slowly regain her inherent cheerfulness as she fights together with the Master.

In the Greek Lostbelt, she ended up being summoned by Odysseus and involuntarily performed as a spy, but was released thanks to the eradication of the Zeus nanomachines.
She carried out Odysseus assassination all by herself.
She harboured faint feelings of love towards the Master, and despite managing to barely conceal them, she ended up expressing them in spite of herself after losing her memories about deciding to keep them a secret when she was just on the verge of disappearing.
That love disappeared with the sunset, without ever growing ripe.

Salome

Salome

Salome is the stepdaughter of Herod Antipas, one of the four feudal lords that ruled over Galilee and Perea during the generation of the Messiah (since Israel was under Roman dominion at the time, it would be more accurate to call them proxy sovereigns).
Having fell in love with John the Baptist, she took advantage of the fact that her stepfather, King Herod, was in love with her in order to obtain John. She seduced King Herod (who would not allow the Baptist to leave prison no matter what) and had him decapitate John―――
Thus she obtained the head of her beloved.

An insane girl, who boils with love and kisses with bloodstained lips.
A dancer clad in thin veils that ended up fascinating even her stepfather, the king.
Cruel and brutal, she gets excited by the blood of those she love.
While she was an innocent young girl in her previous life, it appears that she have manifested in a state in which her mentality was fixed at the instant of her last moments, when she went completely mad due yearning for love.

The love that should have been devoted only to John the Baptist was broadened and made to overflow generously from her Servant self. In other words, she ends up giving her heart even to those hostile to her.
If properly controlled, she will probably operate as a powerful Berserker, but Salome's mentality becomes more creaked and broken as she kills those she gave her heart to.

"The head of John the Baptist was handed over to a young girl, carried while placed in a tray" - such situation would bestow a vivid inspiration to artists of posterity, and many religious paintings were drawn about it from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods.
Throughout these artworks, many speculations were made about Salome's motives.

In the novel "Herodias (French for Herodea), written in the 19th century by the French author Gustave Flaubert, the fear of the ambitious Herodea towards John's influence was given as the reason behind the incident, with Salome being depicted in the role of a mere accomplice.
But afterwards, the Salome play of Oscar Wilde (later turned into an opera by Richard Strauss ) would be announced in 1893, allowing the dreadful image of Salome as a woman that was deeply in love with Yokhanan (John) and eventually demanded his head to take root.

She properly understands the relationship between Master and Servant.
Still, as their bond deepen and they become more intimate, she is likely to sooner or later desire to "possess" the Master.

She will demand it.
His head.

Due knowing that it will be impossible to maintain herself in this world if the Master loses his life, she will not proactively try to cut his head. But if a perfect opportunity were to present itself...
How long would she be able to resist...

John the Baptist possesses many legends of employing magecraft and his head is like a mass of mystery, having turned into a Mystic Code of sorts. Its owner thus becomes able to employ all sorts of magecraft―――even if no magic circuits dwells on her body.

When the True Name is released, this crystal skull will grow considerably huge and prey upon the opponent. Upon reaching the limits of Ascension, the skull will transmute from crystal to gold.

Miyamoto Musashi (Swimsuit)

Miyamoto Musashi (Berseker)

"Miyamoto Musashi? You fool, she starved to death!
The one found here is a single woman who loves the blue sky, an American no matter how you look at her! Yay!
With the ability to pick and choose between the blades in her two hands, a bouncer that fully enjoys summer!
For now, just call me Miyamoto Iori!"

Changing her Japanese swords for Sport chanbara, and later for yet another weapon, the Berserker of Niten Ichi-ryuu makes an unannounced visit!
As you can see, a famous master swordswoman has fallen to the evil influence called swimsuit. "I mean, it is summer after all".

Cheerful and openhearted, a swordswoman that is both dignified and vibrant.
In other words, the same old Musashi.
That being said, the charm of summer has also permeated into Musashi and she is now even more hedonist than usual.
She loves fun things. She loves jet ski. And she loves fighting strong enemies!
"This time I will spend the life of wilful bouncer while in the Western swordsman looks that I had admired for quite some time!"
or so she says with a flower-like smile, but...?

Her weapon during peaceful times is a Sport chanbara-shaped sham of a sword, but it hurts a lot for some reason.
In her third Ascension, she brings out a large sword. She has named it "damaged sword of obedience and disobedience​ - Musashi-koshirae(1)"
She had chosen the "Oar Wooden Sword" that the Musashi of Pan-Human History supposedly employed as a motif, but things did not went well as expected and it ended up getting damaged right after it was finished. But thinking that it still got some use even then, she began employing the damaged blade as a daisho.

Musashi was wandering aimlessly on North America.
After obtaining a Holy Grail by chance on the western parts of Grand Canyon, she decided to try and cook some rice with said Grail. Upon eating it, her Saint Graph split due a bad compatibility​ between the Holy Grail and the Buddha-nature that she had cultivated through training. One of the halves became a heavenly demon and started to go on a rampage independently.
Musashi attempted to walk away while pretending to not have seen the heavenly demon, but she felt responsible at the thought of the demonic Musashi causing a great disaster if left to her own devices... so she sought advice from a certain shady magus (Merlin) that she had met before.

...but Musashi-chan will not speak of such circumstances.
She thinks that "I just have to pretend that the 'mysterious heavenly demon' that is guiding the West to collapse is not me and skilfully carry on in order to bring the situation to a close."
The reason why she is pretending to know nothing of her blunder is simply because "I thought Master would get mad at me. ehehe".
She does not think that she did something bad, nor is trying to save her reputation.

Introduced in Las Vegas as a mere Swimsuit Swordmaster.
After fighting Hokusai, she began naming herself "Miyamoto Iori". Although she is playing innocent by stubbornly saying that "I am not Musashi", this also includes the implication of "my current self cannot be called Musashi. I'm so half-assed, to the extent of being in the same level as my apprentice, Iori-kun".

Also known as anti-swordsmen, anti-swordmasters great bounded-field・Ganryuu-jima.
Due becoming a Berserker, this is no longer a clever, heretic killing method in which she "converts an entire island into an anti-swordsmen fortress, activates a trap after luring the opponent to its centre and ultimately crushes the opponent alongside the island".
Instead, it became a tenshou sword that launches large amounts of sea water by means of five splendid sword drafts (of the earth, water, fire, wind and void elements), becoming cascades that surround the enemy. The enemy is then bisected alongside said cascades.

Osakabe-hime (swimsuit)

Osakabe-hime (Archer)

After less than two years of unswerving determination, she has finally accomplished it.
Swimsuit installing by means of Saint Graph transformation, complete!
Osakabe-hime, who became a little more active due undergoing a Class Change from Assassin to Archer, makes an unannounced visit!
To be specific, she got really into survival games and began carrying out battle royals every day and night.

On a whimsical moment, Okkie(1) worried: "is it really fine for the princess' (me) life to go on like this?"
A Master is like a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, so it might be better to muster some courage and get into outdoor-mode at least once in her life. In addition, it might also give her some ideas for a manga.
Thus she resolved herself.
After receiving the '70% scolding-20% flaming-10% encouragement' of her friend Kiyo-hie(2), she finally transformed into a Swimsuit Servant through her own strength.
Incidentally, by accomplishing the boxing diet arranged by a certain holy woman that was a pioneer Swimsuit Servant, her weight decreased a little.
All there is left is to withstand the rebound in preparation for the autumn season.

Her origami soldiers amount a total of 1,000 units.
Since the hermit crab-tanks and flying fish-fighter aircrafts also count as one unit each, they may seem somewhat thin in numbers, but their combat prowess has been certified.
In real combat, quantity is more important than quality; this de facto rush of surging waves has no equals.
...or rather, it is on a level that is no longer a laughing matter.

At any rate, the miniature-sized soldiers fly on the air in fighter aircrafts and dash across the land in tanks, preparing to attack with bombs and cannonballs.
Furthermore, not only their numbers are great, but they fluttering evade physical attacks due being made of paper.

Still, even with their numbers, they are still weak against fire due being made of paper.

While she is somewhat more active due putting on a swimsuit, her true nature has not changed much.
In other words, rather than working up a sweat, she prefers to have fun playing. Someone who becomes immersed in events through and through; that is Osakabe-hime.

Although her military equipments are all toys and the like (as indicated by their colors), since the bullets are a mass of magical power, their destructive power is greater than genuine articles of inferior quality.

Incidentally, her attitude towards the Master is also the same as when she is an Assassin. A maiden's heart is complicated and mysterious, like groping in the dark, so there is no need to have mercy on her.

She occasionally tries to avoid attacks by jumping repeatedly, but you shouldn't pay attention to that.

Princess Summer Vacation (False): A
"This is me we talking about, so why there is a (false) included?!
I can assert with confidence to be a perfectly legitimate princess!!
Eh, the (false) actually refers to the vacation part?
Manuscript? Eh? ...Eh?"

Chiyogami Battalion Leader: EX
By manipulating small animals made out of origami, she set the preparations for volley firing・support bombing・bombardment and the likes.
"See, the princess' troops can form a beautiful geometric pattern, right～?"

Hakuro-jou・Senshiki Mili-Mili Night Fever(3)

Range: 1～10
Maximum Targets: 1000 units (each unit is an origami)
A volley firing・support bombardment・main battery shooting that makes full use of a single battalion (1000 units) of origami.
Incidentally, Mili-Mili is an abbreviation for "Million Military", and senshiki=million.
...Okkie has yet to realise that sen means 'thousand'. The Master who received such explanation noticed that mistake, but could not bring himself to correct her.

Carmilla (Swimsuit)

Carmilla (Rider)

An impeccable, gorgeous swimsuit celebrity of high society.
Despite emanating a scent of danger, one cannot help but be captivated by her fascinating look.
However--- upon waking up from this midsummer night's dream, you will probably notice that the precious treasure that should have been safely locked away disappeared without a trace.

Yes, this woman is no mere celebrity.
No mere female vampire.

She is without a doubt the beautiful shadow that recently began to disturb the nights of Vegas.
The mysterious female phantom thief, "Mistress C"!

To tell the truth, she was always looking at her "other self" while bitting her finger.
Halloween? Hero? Mecha? And to top it off, an oriental gothic!?
Why is she the only one with so many patterns?
"At any rate, I can't let her increase the lead any further---!"
When such frustration popped, her Saint Graph transformed into the deeply wished Swimsuit Servant.

Feeling relieved after wearing a swimsuit, she obtained an increased degree of "adult composure" - in other words, the sense of a celebrity.
Becoming generous, she followed an impulse to establish her position as "Elizabeth, the wonderful female feudal lord" and came up with a certain plan.
To reconstruct the Csejte Castle.
"It is preposterous to use it as the amp of a live show, like that little girl does. That 'Prison Castle Csejte' is both naive and mistaken.
It needs to be more gorgeous, more suited for torture; I need to complete the construction of a "Torture Castle Csejte" so to speak.
If I manage that, the difference of rank between me and that little girl will surely become even more apparent...!"

But then, budget becomes an issue.
It was necessary for her to think of a budget accumulation method that a celebrity overflowing with charm could perform.
To earn money through arduous work or business transactions is not elegant. Nor something a celebrity would do.
For her, it was more suitable to collect the necessary jewels, high class paintings, necklaces... "beautiful treasures" such as these... and obtain fortune as a result.
In short, such method was?

...well, it is as you see.

Height/Weight: 168cm・49kg
Source: Historical fact
Region: Hungary
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Gender: Female
A wicked woman of a different kind than usual.

Femme Fatale (False): A
A skill that makes possible for her to quite naturally slip into the vicinity of her target.
This is something that indicates the proficiency of the preliminary investigations necessary for the theft, and a composite skill that includes analysis, Secret Intelligence, Pheromone, disguise techniques, covert operations and others.

She possesses the bewitchingness to make the person that she approached in order to steal from naturally fall in love with her (regardless of said person being of the opposite or same sex).
However, that is an illusion which exists only during the time it takes for the phantom thief to steal her trophy.
Even if said love were to seem irreplaceable, of good compatibility and comfortable, it will not be fulfilled.
No matter how much her partner may wish it so.
And even if--- she herself were to wish it too.

Advance Notice of the Phantom Thief: A
An audacious message card sent by the mysterious female phantom thief, "Mistress C", before the crime.
It has the picture of a patterned dog drawn on it.
It has a note like "On (a specific day and time), I will be taking the xxx" written on it, and she never fails to fulfil that promise.

Supposedly, there is a peculiar ecstasy... or rather, a catharsis behind the deed of delivering this advance notice. Encouraged by her initial success, she began to throw cards at every opportunity while in middle of a conversation, so one must be careful.

Mistress C: EX
A skill for transforming the swimsuit celebrity, Mrs. Carmilla, intro the mysterious female phantom thief, "Mistress C".
Among the general public, nobody knows her true identity.

"Her figure is too elegant... thoroughly refined... and unabashedly se-xy... (sigh)"

Mistress C is a hyper lady who is well versed with all sorts of high-tech devices, possesses an overwhelmingly nice body, is endowed with driving techniques to easily handle a red supercar and is a little bit competent in torture.
She does not like to kill people during her thefts.
That is not because she is a righteous phantom thief, but because carelessly hearing their dying wails can cause her to become entranced and lose concentration in her work.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Testarossa Maiden - Iron Maiden that Dashes on the Dead of the Night
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit～Anti-Army
Range: 3～100
Maximum Targets: 1～500 people
A charge attack in which she jumps on the maiden of steel" that she possesses (which has been remodelled into a red, high class supercar) and kills the target by running them over with the appropriate elegance of a celebrity.
Simply put, as far as Swimsuit Carmilla is concerned, this car itself is a "maiden of steel".
"Testarossa" means "red head" in Italian, and there is no relation to the real-life supercar.
Probably.

To begin with, since her torture devices are "illusions" and not "possessions", their meaning does not change even if their shape does.
This is merely her making an small arrangement on the shape of the illusions that she can freely handle.
"Something that makes the faces of the maidens she likes warp in fear", "something that makes people scream", "once you ride (get into) it, it becomes impossible to escape"... one could say that these aspects of it remain the same.

O young women; no matter how much the beautiful, celebrity lady invites you for a party, you must not enter in this car carelessly.
For you will have your heart and body stolen away, becoming unable to ever getting out---
A new ghost story such as this is currently being born, or something.

Katsushika Hokusai (Swimsuit)

Katsushika Hokusai (Saber)

The child is father to the man, right!
In her childhood, "Katsushika Ooi" was super crazy about yomihon and eventually began to admire the xiannu!

"An extraordinary female ukiyoe artist, absurdly strong and with a sharp mind!
In addition, there will be nothing left to complain if she is also wearing a glamorous kimono!"

...aren't you exaggerating too much, Miss O-Ei? (her father is also here)

A condition in which Ooi grew up while retaining the dreams of her girlish age: "rather than an ukiyoe artists, I want to become a 'xiannu'".
Having experienced neither setbacks as a painter nor the divorce from after she got married, she has a foolhardy confidence in her drawing skills and is acting conceited by saying things like "I'll eventually become better than my father, Hokusai!"

Due being wholehearted about surpassing her father, she assumed his professional name on her own accord and started introducing herself as "Katsushika Ooi", but she is still a novice. That being said, she conceals something that the adult Ooi does not have.

Due taking Hokusai's tall story about their lineage being related to a samurai vassal of House Yoshinaka from Chuushingura seriously, she completely began to put on airs as a "swordmaster". Furthermore, this was also the result of reading a large amount of cheap literature by Kyokutei Bakin and other reference materials such as the Chinese Water Margin.

Although there are legends of Katsushika Hokusai being the great grandchild of Kobayashi Heihachirou (the swordmaster vassal to the Yoshinaka House that was killed during the raid of Chuushingura), their authencity is unknown. In the event that they are true, Ooi would be his great-great grandchild.

Instead of the other disciples, she wanted to inherit herself the artistic name of her father, Katsushika Hokusai, and raise its fame even further.
And also, she wished for her father to watch over her success.
Despite understanding that her techniques are immature, she brags to not lose in terms of inventiveness. Brimming with curiosity, she says that the input is more convenient for Servants than the output.
Although still the same mannish, true Tokyoite Ooi as always, there are times when she inadvertently shows a naive reaction and becomes bashful.

Having obtained inspiration from the shape of many famous waterfalls, this great sword skill puts the boundless heavens flight(2) into practical use.

Arturia (Lancer-Swimsuit)

Arturia Pendragon (Ruler)

Swimsuit Lion King.
This name has three meaning included to it.
First, the manager of Casino Camelot, which stands at the top of the casino group that rules the gorgeous Las Vegas.
Second, the sponsor who watches over the Seven Matches of Swimsuit Swordmasters, also known as Contest(1) of Swimsuit Swordmasters, and its cause--- in other words, the Swimsuit Swordmasters that compete with each other with their swords and swimsuits as a single summer memory.
Third, the Lancer Arturia who changed her guise to a summer dress.

Please be careful, for she is a completely different person from the "Lion King" that appeared in the Sixth Singularity.

Basically, the same individual as her Lancer self. However, since she is unconsciously thinking that it should be fine to have some fun as this is her day off, her behaviour in places unrelated to the Seven Matches of Swimsuit Swordmasters is somewhat lenient.

Incidentally, since she is no longer a Lancer, her favourite horse Dun Stallion is not by her side.
It is not like that white horse has disappeared, and it can be seen resting in the barn area of Chaldea.
What about the prank necessary to keep it in this world? Nobody knows.

Swimsuit Lion King, Arturia Ruler intends to earnestly enjoy her vacation.
This is unusual.
After all, she is basically a Heroic Spirit who is constantly battle-ready, without days off, and single-mindedly continues to fight diligently.
Still, this is...
Thanks to a prank-like gambit by the mysterious young man, Merlin, she ended up becoming the Swimsuit Lion King that challenges a vacation with all her might.

The Master must be mindful.
She is serious.
As she intends to enjoy her vacation to the utmost, while retaining her usual seriousness, she will not cut any corners.
Very well---
Completely devote yourself! And go play!

Royal Bunny: A
Look, what is that shinning thing on top of the king's head?! A beast-like ear! So are you saying that a grudge, curse of sorts from the barking beast that once appeared in Britain has assaulted King Arthur?! Agh, that terrible barking beast, to stick its fangs at the King even after thousands and hundreds of years...
---no, you are wrong. Our King is harbouring some interest about the thing called bunny girl.
Oh, so could it be that figure is?
---yes. It is just a costume.
I see.

Royal Card: C+
That thing which the King just threw was a dagger of sorts; maybe not. A playing card?
---yes. According to the King, a casino dealer must excel in the handling of cards.
Incidentally, I hear that a casino is a place for amusement.
---indeed.
Yet that throwing manner was clearly meant to exterminate an enemy.
---maybe she intends to employ in that way when repelling drunkards.

Knight of the Lion: B
In the past, Sir Ywain fought together with a lion.
If so, there is nothing strange about our King, his liege, manipulating a lion of light.

On the other hand, in regards to the bombardment, there are suspicions like "isn't that performed by the Rhongomyniad that has been installed into it", "isn't that the same Noble Phantasm from when she is a Lancer". In regards to those, she remains completely silent.

Meltlilith (Swimsuit)

Mysterious Alterego, Lambda

A mysterious Servant that appeared in Las Vegas.
While her true identity is simply too obscure, she flaunts to be a first-class ballet dancer, a goddess that governs over fine arts and, at this time, also have talent even for figure skating - a Servant of water and penguins.
The owner of one Vegas' five great casinos - the Suitengyu.
Said casino mainly works with slot machines, but rumours go that its wind speed... rotation is fast, generally speaking.
The whereabouts of the customers (Servants) that became penniless and were out in the cold is completely unknown, and rumours say that they were taken captive by Lambda and turned into experience points.

A prima donna on water, and an famous(1) figure skater. She introduces herself as a queen of the sea that dispatches various waves.

Belligerent and merciless. A queen-disposition that also possesses sadistic tastes.
Having a liking for structural beauty, she is a fastidious person who does not tolerate ugly things.
Her pride is great, as she thinks of herself as a perfect existence and brags that she alone can obtain everything.
...this would be her usual self, but she has sealed (a little) of her sadistic tastes in order to have the pleasure of exciting the audience as a professional figure skater.
Be as it may, her core of "holding her own beauty as absolute, by means of her own standards" has not changed.
No matter how beautiful and popular the other Swimsuit Swordmasters may be, she simply elegantly laughs while saying "Huh, I see. Still, I am the most beautiful, right?"

She hides her identity due being a star. She does not reveal her private life out of kindliness for her enthusiastic fans; a reward of sorts.
Claims to be a mysterious Alterego, and not Meltlilith.
Although, she usually does not pretend to be a someone famous(1) due being in the presence of her sisters (really?)
In this Saint Graph that she introduces herself as the performer・Lambda, her professional awareness is strong.

Furthermore, she passes herself off as having turned into a more "jealous" person due an influence from Leviathan, but since her attachment・affection towards "the only thing that she loves" was as heavy as a black hole to begin with, she was already jealous by nature.

Leviathan was giant magic beast that lives in the sea, recorded in the Book of Job from the Old Testament.
God created two giant magic beasts for the purpose of becoming nourishment for mankind after the Last Judgment.
Those are the magic beast that lives on land, Behemoth, and the magic beast that lives on the sea, Leviathan (Livyatan).

Leviathan and Behemoth are regarded as a couple, with Behemoth being a gentle herbivore, while Leviathan is a ferocious beast.

All sources portray Leviathan as female, and it would later be drawn after the image of a giant snake.
Since before the Middle Ages, the sea was a place where death was always present as far as humans were concerned. It came to be regarded as a devil due its ferocity and, in addition, its existence was disseminated as an archdemon that symbolised one of the "Seven Deadly Sins" - "Jealousy".
In demonology, Leviathan is ranked right after Satan and Beelzebub and is endowed with authority over the navy of hell as a grand admiral. In the Book of Job, it was described as so big that it created whirlpools and raging waves in the sea just by swimming.

"But no matter how ferocious, a young woman with divinity is a goddess.☆"

An explosion from BB-chan's super-interpretation.

A skill that denotes being a perfected goddess from birth.
Since her main essence changed from Saraswati to Leviathan, it suffered a Rank-DOWN.

Swan Lake: A
A variation of Crime Ballet that came to be due suppressing the skill "Predisposition to Sadism".
In exchange of diluting aggressiveness and evasion, she became a dancer that can fascinate the audience even longer and more beautifully.
The chances of performing the "greatest triple axel" also increased.

Complete Fluid: B
The Authority of Leviathan. Changing herself into a fluid and filling the world with ocean water. The only thing that can defeat Melt when she is in this state are attacks that can pierce through invincibility.

Melt Envy: EX
A contamination by means of one of the Seven Deadly Sins, jealousy.
A variation of Melt Virus caused by influence of Leviathan. It steals prana from the Servants in her party and increases the power of her Noble Phantasm.
At a glance it may seem like a powerful skill, but this is an evil skill that disrupts the pace of the party when it counts the most.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Blue Summer Palladion - That Summer Dew is Like a Glass
Rank: B+

Range: 10～50
Maximum Targets: 1 person
According to Lambda, "'summer dew' should be read simply as 'summer', and 'glass' as 'star'".
It encloses the target into a water sphere, binding him. She then dives into a great tidal wave that she herself invited, moves at high-speeds underwater together with the leviathans(2) that are her attendants, shoots herself out like a missile by means of that acceleration and pierces the water sphere together with the target.
Supposedly, the figure of Lambda as she jumps over the surface like an elegant flying fish looks even like the spear of legends that destroys a city.

Leviathan Melt Purge - Great Tsunami Seven Sins Elegy
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World
Range: 50
Maximum Targets: 500 people
According to Lambda, "'Seven sins elegy' should be read as 'summer elegy'(3)". Was she trying to make an allusion to a 'summer indiscretion'...?
It fill heavens and earth with the sea and provokes great tidal waves.
Those swallowed up by the tidal waves gathered into a single place by whirlpools, locked up inside water drops (prisons) and then crunched by Meltlilith (who imitated the form of a dragon while in a complete fluid state), turning it into a watery grave. The sea that surrounds Las Vegas was created by the constant deployment of this Noble Phantasm.



(1) original text uses the term charisma, but that is because it became a synonym for 'celebrity', 'idol' in the Japanese language

(2) yeah, she really likes to treat those penguins as mini-leviathans, huh...

Okita Souji (Swimsuit)

Okita Souji (Assassin)

Look at that swimsuit figure soaring across the summer sky!
That light of avidya(1) that sparkles at the daybreak, that surely is, is... who?

Her name is "Okita J. Souji".
A mysterious female Shinsengumi that employs a galaxian countryside swordsmanship of unknown details called Jet Tennen Rishin-ryuu.
Soaring in the sky with the jetpack installed in her back, it seems that she is hunting down the rebellious ronin that are running rampant in Vegas today as well.

"Ms. Swimsuit Okit..., or rather, Ms. Okita J Souji is in perfect form! My body is also a bombshell, right?
Eh? 'What about the jet?' Don't say that..."

"Jetpack User's Manual: Regular Form"
A marvellous gadget that is thoroughly​ equipped (to the point of being excessive) with a mysterious universal technology. Thanks to the super-acceleration, super-braking from an ether jet propulsion system, it accomplishes galaxy-levels of space supremacy. As fixed armaments, it possesses the Kiku-ichimonji Blade, photon vulcans, photon missiles, etc.

"Jetpack User's Manual: Second Form"
A special equipment for covert operations that fully displays her original performance. It is equipped with various functions that are suited for assassination, such as a "stealth mode" and a "Miburou instant-kill style".
The haori-like vestment is actually a brand new costume that combines the sundriness of a jersey with the covertness of a a striped black haori - a jersey-haori so to say. Its conversion armament is a Kiku-ichimonji Blade, Version β.

Even after reading all this, you still don't understand what exactly is being explained here? Don't worry. I don't understand either.

Incidentally, it seems that there is also a lovely, unrivalled 'Ms. Summer Swimsuit Okita-mode' that completely conceals this equipment.
She uses this mode when going out to play.

The enigma-style of this summer topic; a concept-lost in which the swimsuit-wearing Ms. Okita gets a jetpack.

Personality-wise, she is no different from her usual self. However, her Class changed from Saber to Assassin.
Since she originally had a high aptitude for the Assassin Class, in terms of performance, it seems that she is displaying a combat strength in no way inferior to the Saber Class.

Maybe this is in someway related to changing to the Assassin Class, but in the covert operation-purpose second form, her aspects as a no-nonsense man-slayer becomes strongly apparent. A condition similar to her man-slayer self, back when she would indiscriminately slaughter those without resolve while being feared and scorned by her opponents.

Let me explain! (narration: guest appearance by Mr. R) While Ms. Okita had her dearest wish of being implemented as "Ms. Swimsuit Okita" fulfilled, she suffered a galaxian collision accident with Heroine XX just as she was running on the hallway in euphoria. Sadly, Ms. Okita ended up dying... (did not in fact died)

"This is bad!? I got in contact with a primitive native, and to top it off killed her... At this rate, it will reflect badly on my bonus assessment!!"

As she became flustered while holding this wrong assumption, Heroine XX installed a life-support system (jetpack) irresponsibly put together with the leftover parts she had at hand, giving birth to this mysterious female Shinsengumi as a result. As a matter of fact, Okita had just lost consciousness. A Shinsengumi soldier of the future that was revived after incorporating universal technology due to Ms. XX misunderstanding.

Not only her Weak Constitution skill was temporarily removed thanks to the life-support system, but she also obtained an overly healthy body due to this equipment theoretical uptime limit of 800 years. Yet, Ms Okita became convinced that she only had 3 days left to live due a misunderstanding.

For her, who was once wrapped in the warm light of the veranda and ephemerally disappeared in the waves of the age on that day, this figure that freely soars across the blue sky might be like an irreplaceable summer dream.

Of course, the dimensional disturbances caused by XX are a charm that exists only during summer, so everything will turn back to how it was before once the summer ends.
Isn't that great, Ms. Okita

Putting the jet aside, what does that "J." even stands for?

Jet Tennen Rishin-ryuu: A+
The sole swordsman who mastered the legendary galaxian countryside swordsmanship "Jet Tennen Rishin-ryuu", which supposedly nobody had managed to master since the dawn of history. Some also say that nobody felt inclined to master it. There are various theories about it.

In terms of instantaneous speed, she may fit into the top 10... no, top 20 of the entire galaxy. At least I hope so.

Eye of the Mind (J): A-
Other than the natural talent for the premonition of danger (danger avoidance by means of intuition・sixth sense) that she originally had, the jetpack's OS - "Miburo System" - performs extreme near-future forecasts and relays them directly into her brain. However, since she is fundamentally a vague-type intuition-style of man-slayer, there are times when the forecast results get into her way instead.

M. Drive: EX
A mysterious engine that is equipped with an operating system built on the assumption of combat against all sorts of space rebellious ronin, space revolutionaries.
It is possible to set it into overdrive in order to bring out a power that surpasses the machine's performance, but she will end up falling into a dangerous situation in which it wouldn't be strange for the fuselage to break down due an overload to the frame.

Due the overload that surpasses her limits, she will be randomly rendered out of combat after use.

Space Ishtar

Space Ishtar

A Divine Spirit Servant that came from the Servant Universe, who is freewheeling and powerful about living.
Although she pretends to be an Archer, her Class is Avenger for some reason.
Due some sort of fate, she formed a team with Jane and became a bounty hunter that chases after rascals all day long.

"My name is Ishtar. The goddess Ishtar.
What? You want me to add 'Space' otherwise it would get confusing?
I refuse! 'Space' is not cute at all!"

A heroine of justice, yet an outlaw.
She is in a strange position in which, even though playing the part of a villain, everything that she does is for the sake of other people.
Her alignment changed to "Evil" due awakening as a "threat to mankind", but this does not mean that she is a rascal・evil-doer.
Her personality is pretty much the same as the Ishtar from Pan-Human History, but she does not toy with others for fun.

She boastfully approves the good deeds performed by individuals as "something righteous", rejoicing about it in secret, and glares in hostility at the evil deeds performed by individuals as "something unsightly", brazenly​ speaking ill of it (and if the other party is a rascal, she will mercilessly extort his assets, life force and fate).

Just like the normal Ishtar, S. Ishtar has a freewheeled personality that looks down on the harshness・shallowness of human society. That being said, she shows consideration for people's livelihood​ in her own way, becomes concerned over virtuous humans in her own way, and ultimately gives precedence to everyone's success over her own reward... in other words, she has an inclination that is unbecoming of Ishtar.

For example, while Ishtar attempted to sacrifice others during the Summer Race in order to revive Gugalana and restore her own privileges, S. Ishtar would probably repent in the end, break Gugalana with her own hands and distribute its resources among the participants.
"True, this is such a waste that I want to go in a rage, but I felt that this was the right thing to do! I can't lie to myself, you see?"
Just like this, although fundamentally Ishtar herself, she will not become an enemy of humanity at the very end...
In a sense, S. Ishtar is a goddess who "is bad at being Ishtar".

*Motivation・Attitude Towards the Master
She has a keen interest in the very existence of a "Master", who can form a contract and employ Servants even though he is just a human.
"What, this kind of post exists in your world!? Isn't that too amazing for a human!?"
as you see, she is honestly impressed that a human (who she perceives a "weakling") can understand Servants.
Despite not respecting the Master, she does see him as "something important" and smiles like an imp while thinking "I will listen to him so long my humour doesn't change♡".
As he is a life-form from a different world・different universe, she is making an effort to not become more emotionally invested in him than necessary. Still, since the guards of her heart (romance flags) are weak, it is pretty much a given that she will go astray at some point.
The normal Ishtar feels like "an older girl from the neighbouring house" thanks to her intimate sense of distance, but S. Ishtar lacks that due to her acting unduly distant. In exchange, there is a strong feeling of "although out of my league, she is shinning really close by".

A cerebral body(1) cut away by the "primordial goddess" herself.
A Divine Spirit Servant that was reincarnated in the blue sparkling galaxy in order to obtain new experiences.
Space Ishtar is the latest version of "real-life goddess" from the Servant Universe.
Not a "Venusian goddess that governed Venus, as Earthlings saw (observed) it", but a "Venusian goddess generated by an ancient civilization of Venus". Thus, from the point of view of Earthlings, one could say that she is pretty much an alien.

The term primordial universe denotes "the universe in which humans existed as humans" from way before the blue sparkling galaxy (Ether Universe; the current Servant Universe world).
Back in the early days of that old universe - a time when mammals weren't even born on Earth - the goddess Ashtart was worshipped by the prehistorian, ancient civilization of the universe.
At that time, people did not possess the concept of worship and 'goddess' was a word that denoted the very "sector of space where life-forms live".
It is unknown whether she is a concept given shape or if her way of being was turned into a concept instead, but the Ishtar・Ashtart from the primordial universe became "a galaxy in human form". Originally, she is neither something that could be handled by human hands or something that could turn into a Servant.

By coincidence, Professor Tokiomi discovered the spiritual core of that goddess and raised her as the "good half". Also, after his death he entrusted the fate of his daughter to his faithful assistant.
"Even if I manage to teach her textbook goodness, Ishtar will soon see through its inherent hypocrisy (since she is a clever child). It might be fine while I remain by her side, but she may become fed up with goodness and turn to her original evil self eventually.
However, if she were to watch Jane (who is an unfeigned, virtuous person by nature that arrives at the truth in the most succinct manner, albeit at the cost of occasionally bringing about chaos and destruction to the surroundings) and come to understand that good and evil are not always two sides of the same coin​, she will probably not sink into evil so easily at the very least."
Just as the Professor predicted, S. Ishtar was forged into an outstanding straight man without falling into evil, wholesomely(?) growing into a savage dog bounty hunter that protects the weak and bites at the strong - although she is somewhat easily angered and fussy about cost-benefit calculations.
Incidentally, Jane herself has (surprisingly) not changed at all.

Region: Servant Universe
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Gender: Female
Also called "S. Ishtar".
Saint Graphs 1 to 3 are all different individuals, but one could also say that they are the same person since they share a common root. Just think of them as the cool #1, the tomboyish #2 and the transcendental #3.
The trick to skilfully associate oneself with a goddess is "to be both as earnest and sketchy as possible"

Independent Action: C
Having been born as a goddess, raised as a human and awakened as a Servant, S. Ishtar does not expend prana to remain in this world even if she is not contracted with a Master.

Divine Core of a Goddess: A++
Having inherited the divine core of an "ancient goddess of war and good harvest" that is the archetype of many goddesses similar to Ishtar (Ishtar, Astarte, Anat), her rank in this skill is pretty much the highest possible.

Revenger: EX
Something that jumbled the anger, suffering and grief of "...looking back, I did something really inexcusable..." that were born from ultimately being looked down as a demon for some reason, even though she was a great goddess in the past.
The goddess who accepts herself as being evil despite standing on the side of justice (Lawful) feels somewhat unfit to be an Avenger.
*In the Old Testament, this goddess was called "Ashtart" and treated as general term for all foreign goddesses, goddesses of good harvest. However, that name born in the Old Testament would later be degraded as that of a demon (Astaroth) in Western Europe

Devil's Sugar: A
Despite fretting over being degraded into a demon, she perfectly handles its powers of "fascination and arousal" - surely, she is a true demon.
S. Ishtar's smiles and blown kisses improve the morale of allies and allows them to draw out a power beyond their limits while disregarding the burden to their bodies. Since this is a charm (curse) to be employed on allies, it negates fascination from the enemy since they are already charmed.
One might as well call this a demonic charisma, which combined the aspects of a goddess of victory with those of a demon that brings ruin to people.

Venus Driver: B
One who moves Venus. Or maybe, one who spurs beauty.
The divine protection of Venus improves the destructive power of her Noble Phantasm and allows her to freely change its attributes. A skill befitting the "primordial goddess", whom many goddesses would later derive from.

Multiple Starling: EX
A single great crown.
Something derived from the goddess whom Ishtar is based on, the crowns of the various goddesses praised as "Queen of Heaven" have overlapped and returned to their complete shape.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Edin Shugra Quasar - Crown Shining in the Primordial Universe
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Star
Range: 10,000～her mood
Maximum Targets: her mood (changes in accordance to her mental exaltation)
An Anti-Alien Invasion Noble Phantasm that summons the Temple of Bel Maanna (that was regarded as her "proof as a goddess" in the primordial universe), releases the soul of a higher-dimension that composes the Temple - the Galactic Saint Graph - and converts it into energy to burn an entire sector of space to nothing.
S. Ishtar is not "constantly riding on a boat" like Ishtar.
What S. Ishtar summons is a temple (the Temple of Baal that Anat supposedly built) of ominous shape and an aggressive form... or so it has been said...

By the way, Edin means grassland, plain in Akkadian・Sumerian. It is regarded as the etymology of the Eden that appears in the Old Testament.
Shugra(2) is the crown found in that Edin. Something bestowed to Ishtar when she entered Edin.
Quasar is a modern astronomic terminology. It holds the meaning of quasi-stellar object.
Located in a sector of space far away from Earth, it is described as "brightest of celestial objects" due the strong light it releases.

Calamity Jane

Calamity Jane

Coming from the Servant Universe, a cheerful space☆cheerleader that do things at her own pace.
Someone who loves new things and never thinks deeply about complicated stuff.
As for exactly how thoughtless Jane is, she is the sort of person who completely forgets about yesterday's grudges and debts.

"What, you dropped your cellphone in the gap between those rocks?
Leave it to me! For now, let's try blasting our way through.☆"

Er, this damn happy-go-lucky.
Also, it seems that she was once one of the most distinguished​ reconnaissance units (scout) in the universe or something.

History tells us that she was a scout, gunman from the Western Pioneering period, in America.
Although not exactly an outlaw, there are many claims that her achievements are exaggerated or of unknown authenticity. Even back when she was alive, her career was filled with public criticisms. The fact that she has many debuffer-like skills despite her positive personality originates from that dual nature.
An individual from the American West who called herself "Calamity" and lived in the same era as Billy the Kid.
An expert gunslinger and an outstanding scout, she was crowned with the nickname "Queen of the Plains" due being the lover and comrade in arms that lived through many predicaments with Wild Bill Hickok, the "Monarch of the Plains".

Opinions diverge on the reason why she earned herself the name Calamity. Some say that it derives from the legends as a "rescuer from calamities", when she rescued a cavalry squad from an Indian attack. Others that it came from the fact her lovers would always lose their lives in battle, a "woman that invites calamity". There are even some that say both theories are true.

A mood maker who prefers to support a "hard worker" rather than "herself".
Possessing an extremely positive way of thinking, she sees the future as something that exists as a matter-of-course. Even when the fate of the universe hangs on the balance, she never falls into despair and continues to believe that survival is possible in a carefree manner.
Although her motivations all originate from good intentions, there are times when she behaves in a way that cause people to doubt if she is really a good person.
For example, upon realizing that "there is a bridge about to fall! That's dangerous!", she would end up cutting down a pillar from a neighbouring house and bringing it over.

Never criticizing others, and yet she rejoices over and praises people's accomplishments, no matter how small they may be.
Thanks to this, she has a good compatibility with S. Ishtar - who easily gets carried aw... or rather, who improves whenever praised.
A capable space scout, her survival abilities are exceptional.
However, her capacity to earn a livelihood is zero.
Although her skills in (impromptu) sabotage and disturbance strategies that do not target people are remarkable, her capacity in direct, anti-personnel combat falls behind somewhat.

Subversive Activities: B
The skill of an excellent scout.
Effectiveness of enemy attacks is decreased by detecting small openings and placing oneself in the blind spots of the attacks. The same sort of Subversive Activities as Fuuma Koutarou.

Galactic Messenger: EX
A skill based on the historical fact of swimming across a cold river in order to bring back a missive.
It decreases the morale of enemies and increases that of allies.
However, since one "cannot tell if the message is true or not", the effectiveness towards allies is based on chance (Jane herself receives a power up for sure, as she believes in it).

O Pole Star, Show Me the Way: B
A minimum version of the Noble Phantasm that she can no longer use at the moment.
A unique skill whose effectiveness increase in proportion to the number of critical stars.
Supposedly, it was originally a Noble Phantasm for the sake of finding a single hope, a chance of reversal against a "threat of a whole different level, which humanity cannot possibly defeat".

NOBLE PHANTASM

Space Dead Man's Hand - Black Hand(1) that Invites Death
Rank: D

Firing a bullet with the words "Bad Luck" carved in it and piercing the enemy's head from behind.
Even if she fires right in front of him, this shot will always go around the opponent's back.
Supposedly, the those shot by this will have a visual hallucination of a "two pair composed of As and 8s of Clubs and Spades" as they die.
A special move that bestows to the opponent the same kind of death as that of the "Monarch of the Plains", Wild Bill Hickok - her lover and comrade in arms.

According to history, Wild Bill was murdered from the back by Jack McCall as he played poker in a bar of Deadwood City, South Dakota.
The cards that he held at the time were two pairs of As and 8s of Clubs and Spades. Afterwards, this black-colored two pair was named the Dead Man's Hand

Sentinel Stellaris - O Pole Star, Shine On My Enemy
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Goddess
Range: 1～99
Maximum Targets: 1 deity
Jane's second Noble Phantasm.
One of the Four Cards, the Noble Phantasms once employed as clearing procedures by the unit (team) that defeated the "primordial goddess".
It "discovers" a weak point in the enemy, fixing said condition as a "reality".
Having received a curse due defeating the "primordial goddess" once, this Noble Phantasm can no longer be employed.

◆

In the Servant Universe, she participated in the "primordial goddess sealing team" of 2,000 years ago as a scout.
Although the operation was successful thanks to the accurate surveillance intel that she provided, she received a curse of "immortality" as compensation for killing a goddess and ended up becoming incapable of dying until the time came for the goddess to awaken once again.
Under normal circumstances, the mind would grow weary and degrade after a long time of wandering, but Jane did not yield to this curse thanks to her inherent cheerfulness​.

Astolfo (Saber)

Astolfo (Saber)

The unexpected Saber Astolfo.
Utterly rejected as having no motive, reason or sense; but, at any rate, he became a Saber, extolled as the most excellent of Classes.
"Yeah! Did you see that!? Yeah!"

One of the Twelve Peers of Charlemagne if nothing else, so he had the qualifications for the Saber Class.
However, it seems that those whimsical enough to summon Astolfo (rumored to be the weakest among the Twelve Peers) as a Saber (the most excellent of Classes) are quite rare.

His alignment remains unchanged as Chaotic Good. In other words, one can say that the usual Astolfo has merely picked up a sword.
Even if he was originally in the Rider Class, since he holds a sword, his skills with it must be a little above average.

Maybe turning into a Saber has powered up his knightly qualities somewhat, for he is currently 5% more polite than usual and can remain rational for 5 seconds longer.
The angle of his bowing is 5 degrees deeper, and he graps people's hands with 5 times more strength.

The reason why Astolfo became a Saber stemmed from the Christmas Event of 2019.
Having forcibly received the wish-granting Holy Grail (bell) from Nightingale, Astolfo ended up unconsciously fulfilling his wish of becoming a Saber, which he had a usual admiration for.

He had lost his powers as a Saber when Nightingale obtained the Holy Grail.
But upon seeing the dejected Astolfo, Nightingale turned him back into a Saber - that was the public debut of Astolfo Saber.
Incidentally, when Astolfo was turned back into a Saber, the first thing he did was to turn to his Master and shout:

"I am your sword!"

He wanted to boldly say those words as a Saber.

His admiration for the Saber Class could be roughly summed-up to just about that.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Vulcano Caligorante - Capture Net of Windfall

Maximum Targets: 1 person
A net that can catch even a god, which was set against the giant Caligorante.
...or so it was said, but Caligorante had just fallen into a panic and taken flight after hearing Astolfo's magic flute.
He then ended up getting stuck in this net in a self-destructing manner.
After many twists and turns, this net was reforged into a sword when Astolfo's Saint Graph changed into the Saber Class.
The so called whip-sword or snake-sword, this is the romantic weapon of all warriors (declaration).

Crazy Trip Drive Idol - Imprudent Idol Rampage
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Unit (self)
Range: 0～99
Maximum Targets: 1 person
His sealed, second Noble Phantasm.
Something that invokes the power of the Hippogriff, which becomes usable when he is summoned as a Rider.
Disturbing the enemy camp by becoming an imaginary(1) existence that is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
To be specific, Astolfo divides himself into many clones(2) and then delivers attacks while the enemy is lost wondering where the real one might be.
The worst thing is that, after a certain amount of time has passed, Astolfo will begin to increase himself like compounding interests(3).
The sight of almost a hundred of Astolfos chattering and making a fuss would seem like a nightmare to some Servants.


(1) as in "imaginary numbers"

Nightingale (Santa)

Florence Nightingale (Archer)

The angel of Crimea who holds servicing and dedication as her creed. A conviction of steel. The one who saves people. The Little War Office.
Her character is "roughly" the same as her Berserker self.
Holding a large firing weapon that looks like both a gun and an umbrella, her Class changed to Archer.
Based on the red attire that she is wearing... she is Santa-type Servant... or so it seems?

Archer Nightingale believes that all sweets in the world should turn into medicines (like sweet cold medicine).
However, she will never place that wish on the Holy Grail.
Archer Nightingale believes that she has to do it herself.

If asked if "don't you think it would be better if all medicines in the world turned into sweets", she would probably reply "what is the point!? Of turning medicines!? Into sweets!?"
This is a point she is quite particular about.
"Sure, there is something romantic about turning sweets into medicine. However, medicines should stay as medicines".

A perception that is somewhat out of sync with her surroundings and a medical treatment that does not hear to any arguments.
Those alone remain pretty much the same as the usual Heroic Spirt Nightingale...
But on a closer look, you will probably notice that her speech is somewhat more ladylike than usual.
Although not often, she also expresses some romantic words on occasion.
Nightingale's mentality from when she was a young girl (a time before she entered the field of nursing・medical treatment) is mixed within Archer Nightingale. Thus, when compared to her time as a Berserker, there has been a small increase in the frequency of expressions that show a glimpse of her well-bred background.

The change in her Saint Graph at this occasion was derived from the interference of Nursery Rhyme.
Archer Nightingale came to accept herself as a young girl by the end of this incident, so she will probably become more active as a new Santa-type of Servant.
To be specific...while praying in the holy night...she will fight on in order to improve nursing and defeat all sorts of diseases.

...'that is the same as always', you say?
It might actually be the case, but not quite.

Height/Weight: 165cm・52kg

This Nightingale perceives all Servants as "young soldiers". They often get injured. In other words, nursing subjects.

Independent Action: A+
An abiltiy that allows one to remain independent for a while even after the prana supply from the Master has been severed.
If it is for the sake of her duty, she will fight alone against injuries and sickness.

Mad Enhancement: EX
Rank-UP to parameters in exchange for robbing away most of reason.
It is unknown this is left overs from the disposition of her original Saint Graph as a Berserker or instead a peculiarity of Heroic Spirit Nightingale.
Although somewhat gentler words may come out, the basic style of conversation has not changed all that much when compared to her Berserker self.

Assault Medicine: C+
The "gun-like syringe" that Nightingale possesses shoots ampoules that bring about many effects, almost like a long range weapon. Rate of fire is 20 shots per second.
Subjects of nursing・medical treatment will probably recover in an instant upon receiving a direct hit.
Targets of disinfection・sterilization will probably be exterminated upon receiving a direct hit.
A constantly active-type of Noble Phantasm, but it is being presented as skill in this work.

The Bell Rang by an Angel in the Holy Night: EX
Although Archer Nightingale shows little interest in the event called Christmas, her way of being is deeply connected with that holy night.
The crimson garment and the golden bell fastened in her traveling bag are a proof of that.
That being said, she herself has no idea where they came from. "By the time I realized, things became like this".

A constantly active Noble Phantasm.
The reason why its shape resembles a gun is probably an influence of her experience in military service.
It has been presented as a skill in this work.

Superman Orion

Orion

Class Archer. A superman who claims to be the greatest hunter of Greece.
His manly and lively body possesses the physical strength to bring down any sort of beast, be it with a bow or bare-handed.
Also an inveterate playboy, but...he was loved by the Moon Goddess Artemis of all people. An extremely pleasant...and pitiful... human whose life was full of ups and downs.

With a name meaning "he who urinates", Orion was a child born between the Sea God Poseidon and Euryale (a different person from the goddess Euryale).
Boasting of being able to bring down any beast, he ended up having his eyes stolen due being involved in troubles with a certain woman.
Relying on the sound of hammers, he set sail on a small boat and managed to recover his sight through the influence of the Goddess of Dawn Eos,, who he had met along the way.
...please take notice that he had already set a dangerous flag with a goddess at this point.

Sensing danger in the fact that his younger sister had grown in love with Orion, the Sun God Apollon instigated Artemis to shoot down Orion while he was at sea by saying: "you claim to be an expert of the bow, but can you shoot that man called Candaon".
Artemis ended up flawlessly shooting through her beloved Orion and supposedly grieved as she held tight to his dead body.
She thought about asking Asclepius (who supposedly could resurrect the dead) to bring Orion back to life, but Asclepius himself died by means of Zeus' thunder before he could try.
Having no other choice, Artemis sublimated Orion to the stars.
During winter, look up to the sky in search for three bright stars (tristar). They are called the Belt of Orion.

Blessings of the Sea God: B
A child of Poseidon.
A variation of the skill Divinity. Other than being able to run on the sea, he can also perform underwater indefinitely.
Furthermore, it is also possible to freely invoke rain and Orion frequently employed this - mostly in order to captivate women by creating a situation in which "an incessant rain pours on a normally cheerful man in a manner that makes it seems like he is crying" (apparently, it did not worked very well).

Curse of the Heavenly Scorpion: D
One of the many causes of death for Orion.
He is weak against scorpions, to the point of being said that the constellation of Orion withdraws when the scorpion approaches.

Force of the Moon Goddess: EX
He is receiving a strong pressure dubbed as affection by his lover(?), the goddess Artemis. That extremely strong pressure applies plus buffs on him, naturally tempering his body. All parameters (including MGI and LCK) are Rank-UP, with STR in special receiving a double boost.

Strong Arm of Animality: B+
A strong arm(1) that supposedly can strangle lions to death.
When facing such a straightforward form of violence, even demonic beings and magical beasts run away in fear.
It is simple to tear apart a coin, and even the jaws of Cerberus can be smashed.
A brute strength that can be described as truly peerless.

Bowman of the Three Stars: A+
Extolled as the greatest hunter in Greece, his proficiency is the very best thanks also in part to the blessings of Artemis.
By acquiring the anecdote of the three stars (Tristar) as a constellation, he obtained a skill with the bow that surpasses even those of heroes that lived in a different age than him.

...however.
A fatal trap lies in here.
In simple terms, the one loved by these stars is also loved by the gods (especially goddesses)
His end was likely determined at this point, point, point...

NOBLE PHANTASM

Artemis Hagnos - Pure Love of the Moon Goddess
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army (Self)
Range: 0
Maximum Targets: 1 person
Artemis' love rains down and attempts to greatly strengthen his body, even if just temporarily. That love is heavy, something physically heavy.
As for why it is classified as Anti-Army, that is because this Noble Phantasm is such a blessing that can change a single person into something that rivals an entire army.
Its side effects would cause a normal person to burst apart, but Orion experiences nothing more than some muscular pain.

Mandricardo

Mandricardo

A former king and adventurer!
After obtaining the armor of Hektor at the end of an adventure, I triumphantly travelled around in search for Durandal.
And...throughout the conflict over Durandal and many other things, I ended up realizing the vanity of the world. Anyway, I'm Mandricardo, pleased to meet you.

A young man who realized the vanity of the world and attained a somewhat gloomy disposition.
Self-conscious over the fact that he is a minor hero, self-deprecating remarks often pop out from him.
The so-called "type that places insurances on his abilities", he carry matters in a cautious, conservative manner.

In his previous life, he went on a rampage with a haughty, "I'm the strongest"-kind of spirit. Still, it seems like the fact that he couldn't defeat Rogero (Bradamante's lover) even though he had both Durandal and Hektor's armor became a severe trauma for him, so he interacts with the Master with an attitude that is constantly lacking in self-confidence.
In a regular Holy Grail War, he would act as a man who holds many anxieties over important communications.

If nothing else, in order to also encourage himself, he displays some confidence during battle.

Brigliadoro's Neigh: A
A skill that sublimated the anecdote of stealing and skillfully managing the famous horse Brigliadoro.

Whatever he holds in his hands, no matter what sort of weapon it might be, will possess the same sharpness as the Durandal that he once carried.
Something that closely resembles Lancelot's Noble Phantasm (Knight of Owner), but this one surpasses it on the point that any weapon will be treated in the same way as Durandal, possessing the same destructive power as Durandal.
However, since this copies only Durandal's normal attack power, the durability will depend on the weapon that he holds (mostly E Rank).

Europa

Europa

A princess that appears in Greek Mythology.
Widelly known as a divine consort that was married to the Chief God Zeus.
The daughter born between the Phoenician king Agenor and Telephassa. Also told to be daughter of Phoenix (Agenor's son), but that does not change the fact that she was born a princess.

Europa was granted with three gifts by the Chief God Zeus.
Those are the bronze Talos, a hunting dog and a throwing spear.
Europa was deified after death, and the white bull that she rides turned into the constellation of Taurus.
According to some theories, Europa's name is regarded as the etymology​ for "Europe".

A compassionate, fluffily princess.
Calm and carefree. A good-natured person who does not care about minor details.
Smiling gently; behaving with levity; somewhat drowsy; under normal circumstances, her reaction will be any of those. She won't be (much) perturbed even if a divine beast or giant appears before her. That disposition to not become flustered even when kidnapped by the chief god - should it be seen as being absent-minded, or as being endowed with the style of a divine consort that snuggles up to a supreme being...

A certain goddess and fellow divine consort once stated: "it is dubious whether she is properly perceiving reality".
Supposedly, she herself smiled friendly even after hearing that.

Height/Weight: 155cm・44kg
Source: Greek Mythology
Region: Europe
Alignment: Neutral Good
Gender: Female
Rather than a divine consort, the awareness as a grandmother is quite strong in her. She perceives all European Heroic Spirits that lived in later ages as her "grandchildren" or "great-grandchildren".

Affection of the Chief God: A+
Europa is deeply loved by Zeus, the supreme being of Greek Mythology.
A skill that brings about many divine protections. At the same time, it conceals the danger of inviting the indignation of the goddess Hera, Zeus' wife, but――― Europa herself gives no heed to that. As far as she is concerned, Hera is a magnificent goddess that ought to be respected.

White Bull of the Chief God: C
The Zeus that met with Europa - in other words, the white bull - is a Divine Beast endowed with a powerful fascination effect. The constellation of Taurus itself, said to instantly charm those who looked at it.
Rather than Europa herself, this is a skill related to the bull that she rides.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Chionis Tauros - Beloved White Bull
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 100 people
A constantly active Noble Phantasm.
The white bull regarded as an avatar of the Chief God Zeus――― a Noble Phantasm whose appearance is quite similar to it.
A Noble Phantasm bestowed by the Chief God Zeus in order to protect his beloved Europa, it originally looked like a hunting dog as explained before, but its shape was changed once she said "I prefer something that looks like you. Quite lovely and perfect to be used as a pillow."

It constantly protects Europa as she rides on its back.
It can gallop anywhere, even over water. This Noble Phantasm is the reason why Europa has manifested as a Rider.
If the True Name were to be released, it would probably run bravely around the enemy camp, but that is fundamentally not done in this work.
In addition, she was bestowed with the skill "White Bull of the Chief God" by this Noble Phantasm.

Sfyri To Talon - Super Heavy Mallet of the Bronze Giant
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 100 people
One of the Noble Phantasms bestowed by the Chief God Zeus.
An autonomous machine from the Age of Gods. The monster of bronze, Talos.
Cast(1) by Hephaestus (one of the Twelve Olympians), a super weapon bestowed to Europa by the Chief God. A Noble Phantasm whose raison d'être is the absolute protection of Europa. Its durability is tremendous and not even the gods can destroy it with ease.
Originally, this would be a "monster" instead of a giant, but it acquired the current shape of a "giant" due being commonly mistaken with the Colossus of Rhodes.

It senses and exterminates enemies automatically.
Once angered, it swoops down on the opponent as its limbs become red hot. An ordinary living creature would probably evaporate in an instant.
In this work, it is summoned during a portion of her normal attacks and when the True Name is released, sensing the existence of enemies and raging instantaneously. It then strikes at the enemy camp with a large, incandescent iron fist that became red hot.

Once upon a time in Crete, Europa would often have fun while riding on Talos shoulder, but Talos was extremely troubled by this due its condition of becoming red hot once angered.
"Master, please come down soon".
The witch Medea is among the things it has difficulty dealing with. That is because, back in the Age of Gods, Medea attacked it on the heels (its weak point) and caused the divine blood ichor that served as its source of magical energy to leak out, resulting in it stop functioning.

Yang Guifei

Yang Guifei

The beautiful consort that flared up the fire of civil war in the great country of Tang and became the main cause behind the downfall of a dynasty.
A Foreigner that fickly changes her facial expressions: from a childhood friend-type town girl overflowing with charm to a bewitching favourite princess that is eager to be spoiled.
What she conceals is the dark hell fire of an evil god that dwells in the stars...?

"I exhaustively offered my beauty to the country. My love to the Emperor. And my heart to my blood relatives.
Still, just this biwa, just the joy that come from singing and dancing are mine alone―――"

Her True Name is "Yang Yuhuan".
A childhood friend-type high-spec beautiful girl? The type that is not very self-aware, even after becoming instantly famous when a relative arbitrarily enlisted her in a national beauty contest.
Her forte are singing, dancing and playing the biwa. An unequalled lover of hot springs and lychee.
Honest and positive. A hard-worker who feels joy in devoting herself to those she is close to.
She became the consort of Emperor Xuanzong, who ruled at the climax of the Tang Dynasty, in its 300 years of history. Xuanzong was Wu Zetian's grandchild. Thus Wu Zetian is Yang Yuhuan's grandmother-in-law... or so you may say, but the subject would create an instant hell.

Since she was little, her beautiful face was a source of trouble that attracted scoundrels and magical beasts, causing the person herself to become introverted. However, it also what saved her when she and her siblings became adrift in the streets after their parents' death. Henceforth, she started to proactively employ her physical appearance as a tool to make people happy, even becoming conceited about it.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Nishang Yuyi Biyi Lianli(3)
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Country
Range: 1～6
Maximum Targets: 1 person
A verse from the Chang hen ge, the poem written by Bai Juyi about the undying love between Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei.
The ˜Nishang Yuyi˜ is regarded as a song that Xuanzong created for Yang Guifei. Shunned as a forbidden song that symbolises the fall of a country, its musical score was scattered and ultimately lost.
Before being married, Yang Guifei temporarily entered the priesthood as a nuguan, being initiated in the art by the Taoist priest Luo Gongyuan(4) and earning herself the title of "Priestess Taizhen". It has been said that her soul became a xiannu of Penglai after death, waiting for a reunion with her beloved Emperor.
The star of the abyss secretly chants a song that does not reach the ears of the common masses.




(1) roughly, "3000 favorites-worth of love in a single person"

(2) the Japanese term used here is clearly an allegory of 傾国の美女 (keikoku no bijou; roughly 'siren beauty'), a trope from classical Eastern fiction. Basically, a woman who can make men lose their way by means of her beauty alone, often causing the ruin of the society where she lives. The closest Western example I can think of would be Helen of Troy.

(3) roughly, "feathered robe of rainbow-colored skirts, marital vows"

(4) trivia: according to Japanese sources (couldn't find any English ones, sorry), this guy was a rival of Xuanzang.

Anastasia (after change)

Originally, Anastasia would be an existence of negligible strength even if summoned as a Servant. However, she attained unmatched force thanks to obtaining the powers of Viy by means of the interference of the Lostbelt.
As a descendant of the Romanov Empire, she agonizes in the threshold found between a sense of duty towards guiding her people and the hatred over the fact that same people slaughtered her family.

Her choice between these two will depend on her Master, but in most cases she will decide for the thorny path of carrying out her duty even while hating them.
She is not so weak to the point of continuing to hate someone whose face she does not even know.

Gao Changgong (after change)

Prince Lanling was blessed not only with good looks, but also with gallantry. There are even anecdotes of him having supposedly broken through a tight besiegement​ formed by over 10,000 enemy soldiers and conquering a castle with only 500 cavalrymen (the song "Lanling Wang Ru Zhen Qu" was composed at this occasion).

Still, as the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" goes, the slanders from people who shunned him for his too great of a reputation flied about and caused the Emperor to send him a poisoned drink.

"I devoted myself faithfully and never did anything to feel ashamed before Heavens, so why am I forced to drink poison...?"

...he supposedly lamented like that.
Soon after his death, Northern Qi lost its military superiority and collapsed.

Qin Liangyu (after change)

The ruling Emperor at the time, Chongzhen Emperor, was a man highly suspicious of others and known for his overly hasty political purges.
However, there are also indications that political corruption in the Ming dynasty had already reached its limits and Chongzhen could not trust anyone in the first place.
That being said, his execution of Yuan Chonghuan (a rarely seen great commander) became one of the causes why the Ming dynasty perished in Chongzhen's generation.

But even said Chongzhen received Qin Liangyu with a kind hospitality, to the point of presenting her with a poem.

His assessment of her was proven correct, as Qin Liangyu continued to faithfully serve the Ming and the Southern Ming (its successor state) until her death of old age, at 74 years-old.

Reve de Durandal - Peerless Fleeting Sword

An anti-unit Noble Phantasm that can only be invoked upon sealing away and discarding Serment de Durandal.
Obtaining the peerless sword Durandal that he once held.
In addition, it also demonstrates an exceptional improvement in his defenses thanks to the Armor of the Nine Worthy (which is usually nothing but a skill) being sublimated as one of Hektor's relics while in this condition.

In a regular Holy Grail War, this Noble Phantasm cannot be invoked unless he has enough confidence to think that "in my current state, I would be able to truly handle Durandal". Even the very information regarding the Noble Phantasm is being sealed, so not even his Master can be made aware of it.

In the fifth Lostbelt, this Noble Phantasm could be invoked thanks him being bestowed with Durindana (Durandal) by Hektor and having obtaining a purpose in "saving the friend he made in this trip". He then vanished after accomplishing the miracle of keeping Artemis's arrow at bay.

Europa (after change)

Despite manifesting in the fifth Lostbelt as a Servant of the anthropic principle, she was unable to oppose the King of the Lostbelt (the Chief God Zeus) and had to rule over the people of the interstellar urban mountain range Olympus as a priestess that speaks in the name of Zeus.
However...
As a matter of fact, she was lending her strength to the Deicide Alliance despite understanding the risks to herself.

Upon manifesting in Chaldea, it seems that she has no recollection about what happened in that Lostbelt, but...

Should she learn about the events of the fifth Lostbelt, she will undoubtedly close her lips and shake her body in tears.
All for the sake of the many lives lost...
And the heartfelt wishes of the pair who snuggled up to her.

Sei Shounagon

Sei Shounagon

The daughter of Kiyohara no Motosuke, one of the Five Men of the Pear Chamber who compiled kundoku readings of the Manyoushuu.
A talented woman who made her existence known in a male-dominant society by means of a dynamism that could only be described as mould-breaking.
Having Empress Teishi - the consort of Emperor Ichijou - as her lifetime's patron, she continued to snuggle up to her until the final moments.
After her death, the many proses she offered to Teishi were summarized in "The Pillow Book".

A writer, poet from the Heian period.
She left behind many mold-breaking anecdotes for a woman of her time - such as being familiar with Chinese poetry・classical literatura (which was regarded as something only men would learn) and being able to talk down men with her abundant knowledge.
Even in the Diary of Lady Murasaki, it is possible to see that Murasaki Shikibu was considerably conscious about her.

She first began to serve Empress Teishi as a court lady around her late twenties.
Despite the age gap between them, Teishi greatly favoured Shounagon, who continued to live up to the expectations of the beautiful and wise Empress.
Shounagon would write down about the daily lives in the Imperial Court in a humorous manner and eventually consolidated those many proses in a collection of essays.
This would become the first essay of Japanese history - "The Pillow Book".

One would think she would always be in a good mood for no reason... but, contrary to expectations, she becomes sulky quite easily.
Despite pushing around the surrounding people like a whimsical cat, she is an avant-garde Servant that fundamentally prioritizes fun things.
A sparkling girl who is greatly fond of "queer (emo)" stuff and was overly ahead of her time.

An oddball who dropped the manners of a poet somewhere behind but, in her case, this results in an much too high affinity with the modern youth culture.
Also due to the historical fact that she is concerned about her age, there was nothing unnatural when she was summoned at the Teishi Salon in the figure of a high school girl.

In Chaldea, she maintains a good relationship with Murasaki Shikibu (or so she thinks).

Originally, Sei Shounagon is not a being that would be recorded in the "Throne of Heroes" as a Servant.

After finishing compiling the The Pillow Book, she left the Imperial Court.
Abandoning even the feelings of love and hate, she went on living while thinking back upon her gorgeous past life and holding on a single star to her chest--- but this also meant that another star had to disappear.
She was not deserving of becoming a Guardian that protects the anthropic principle.

However, due an irregular summoning performed during a certain incident, a turning point was bestowed to "Sei Shounagon".
By establishing an emotional bond with trustworthy individuals and undergoing many experiences---
She was finally accepted into the "Throne of Heroes" after obtaining both her previous identity as a poet (that she herself had sealed away) and an entirely new possibility.

Thus, her summoning was achieved.
Even if he/she has not yet experienced those troubled days spent together with "Nagiko"---
It doesn't change the fact that Sei Shounagon has been longing from the bottom of her heart for the moment when she would once again meet him/her.

Nevertheless, the poems that she composes will sometimes touch people's hearts and boldly make insolent men move aside.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Emotional Engine, Full Drive - Makura no Soushi・Shunshoshou(4)
Rank: D++
Type: Poetry Noble Phantasm
Range: 1～20
Maximum Targets: 50 people
A particular state of mind, achieved not through martial arts nor onmyou, but simply by continuing to write down one's feelings.
By letting the fountain of emotions gush out as it pleases, she materializes the imagined landscape that was constructed within "The Pillow Book" that she wrote over the real world.
In other words--- a Reality Marble.

The world that was repainted by Sei Shounagon becomes a "nostalgic scenery saw once upon a time, at somewhere else" and erodes the hearts of those entrapped within the bounded field.
Sorrow, nostalgia, melancholy---
If one allow his heart to be disturbed by the strong emotions that arise and forget about fighting even for an instant.
He will probably be unable to avoid the strong (and irrational) attack released by her, who took control of this territory.

In addition, although "Makura no Soushi・Shunshoshou" is the title of the annotated edition produced by Kitamura Kigin during the Edo Period, the fact that the feelings she invested into her work overcame time and became cherished even by the people of later generations was godsend for Sei Shounagon.
She regards "shunshoshou" as a symbolic word that connects past and future. Furthermore, as it is a word that perfectly expresses her Noble Phantasm - almost as if singled out the lines of haru wa akebono - she has sublimated the name of her Noble Phantasm as "Makura no Soushi・Shunshoshou".

Odysseus

Odysseus

A hero from Ancient Greek Mythology.
The protagonist of Homeros' long epic, "Odysseia".
His participation on the Trojan War is portrayed in the Ilias.

During the Trojan, he makes great accomplishments as the foremost ingenious commander of the Achaeans.
After the death of Achilleus, he caused Troia to fall by means of the clever scheme that was the wooden horse.
After the war, he crossed the seas in order to return to his beloved Penelope, encountering many trials along the way. The fierce, one-eyed giants Kyklopes. The curse of the Sea God Poseidon. The temptations of the witch Circe and the sea spirit Kalypso. The songs of the magical bird Seiren. The channel of the sea monster Skylla. The rage of the God Helios. And yet, despite having to make many sacrifices at times, he was able to overcome everything in the end.

"I am somewhat aware---
About how agonizingly heavy that one step for the sake of moving forward can be."

An individual possessing an indomitable will.
A hero of the Trojan War and one of the greatest adventurers of Greek Mythology.
A man who relentlessly overcame many adventures, trials in order to make good to his promises. The fact that he became the etymology for odyssey (journey of adventures) is not just for show.

Even if he were to brag about something, he would in fact act accordingly.
If he were to declare he could take Troy, he would take it.
If he were to declare he could escape a carnage, he would escape it.
If he were to declare he could defeat a magical beast or monster, he would defeat them.
And, if he were to declare to return to Penelope's side--- he would certainly return someday.

In the fifth Lostbelt, Atlantis, he manifested as a Servant of the pan-human history and fought against the "Odysseus from the Lostbelt" that stood by the side of the gods.
They were equal in strength. It even looked like that the Odysseus from the pan-human history (who was endowed with the experience of many battles and adventures) had the upper hand, but it ultimately ended with victory of "Odysseus from the Lostbelt" thanks to the activation of the kleronomia bestowed by Zeus.

The Odysseus summoned by Chaldea has no memories of the battle in the Lostbelt, but...
It seems that he was able to grasp the outline of the incident upon coming in contact with the records stored in Chaldea.
Apparently, he has vowed in his heart to surely return the great debt that "his Lostbelt self" (who had a different birth, and reached different end) incurred towards Charlotte Corday one day.

Favor of the Gods: B+
A skill that denotes the favor of the Olympian gods.
Its brings about many effects.
Above all, the love from Goddess Athena is strong. Thanks to this, it is exceptionally possible for Odysseus to employ the Noble Phantasm Aigis, which is a defensive armament of the gods.
In this work, it is fundamentally not employed as a skill.

Single-Mindedness (Love): A
The absoluteness of the mind. The source of his indomitable will.
The heart that he dedicated to his beloved wife Penelope will not waver no matter what.
Odysseus was coveted by many women... the nymph Kalypso; the witch from Aiaia Isle, Circe; the whimsical princess Nausikaa. Even the divine protection from the Goddess Athena is, in a sense, a result of him being "popular".
Although Odysseus had a career that was pretty much that of a lady-killer...
The person himself remained committed.
Still, as he travelled to return to his beloved Penelope, for some reason he ended up coming across many women.
(At the very least, this is how he perceives)

NOBLE PHANTASM

Aigis - Divine Body Bounded-Field
Rank: A
Type: Bounded Field
Range: -
Maximum Targets: 1 person
A defensive armament manufactured by the Olympian gods.
It has been described as both an armor and a shield.
Originally, it was thought to be a conceptual protection produced by divine hands - an extremely powerful bounded-field of sorts - but Odysseus can exceptionally clad his body in this as a physical "armor" thanks to the deep affections of the Goddess Athena.
In other words, this is an invincible armor of divine metal that is endowed with conceptual protections.

A constantly active-type of Noble Phantasm.
In this work, it is being portrayed as a skill.

Troia Hippos - Great Wooden Horse of Demise
Rank: B++
Type: Anti-Country
Range: 2～80
Maximum Targets: 400 people
In the closing years of the Trojan War, Odysseus devised a plan so that a wooden horse was carried inside Troy. Countless Greek soldiers (Achaeans soldiers) were hidden within said wooden horse---
As a result, Troy invited the enemy into its own home and fell after receiving an attack from the inside. The Achaean army finally achieved victory.
In some depictions, Odysseus himself was also inside the wooden horse and fought side-by-side with the soldiers.

The actual condition of the wooden horse as a Noble Phantasm is that of a large-sized mount covered in an armor of divine metal (which is probably a result of Aigis' blessings from the Goddess Athena). By having the wooden horse that was summoned through the release of True Name change into its extermination form (which resembles a giant), it will probably bring about a large destruction that gives a clear impression of how severe the Trojan War was.

Castor & Pollux

Dioskouroi

A certain pair of twins (Dioskouroi) ascended to heavens and became the shining Gemini constellation---
The name Dioskouroi means "child of Zeus".

According to the 3rd century BC Katasterismoi, the Gemini constellation was called Dioskouroi - Castor and Pollux.
They appeared in Lakonia (in the southeast region of the Peloponnesus peninsula) and eventually ascended to heavens.
Someone who could rival the love these siblings had for each other never again appeared.

Wishing to record their relationship for eternity, the Chief God Zeus united the stars of two independent constellations into one and named them Gemini.

Supposedly, the archetype for the Dioskouroi are the ancient Divine Twins that take the figure of youthful horsemen (or maybe even of horses themselves) and rescue people that encounter perils such as wars and voyages.
The Divine Twins were regarded as "two gods in one", but for a long time neither had their own individual names. The names Kastor (Castor) and Polydeukes (Pollux) could only be first verified in a collection of eulogies to the gods that was produced in the age of the minstrel Homeros.

Possessing the title of "Anakes (princes)", their aspect as guardian deities of sailors would be emphasized as time went by - in part thanks to becoming well known as crew members of the Argos ship, through stories such as the Argonautica.
The light cast by the tip of a ship's mast during storms - the so called Saint Elmo's fire - came to be worshiped as their manifestation as guiders of ships.

Given that they are essentially Divine Spirits of old, these two manifest in the modern age with a unique disposition.
Although a single being, they possess two bodies, each carrying the dispositions of a different Class. In other words---

The elder brother Castor - who in later generations obtained legends as a "human child" that does not have the blood of Zeus - converted the humiliation of being demoted from a god to a man into a deep-seated hatred and became an Avenger.
The younger sister Pollux - who in later generations obtained legends as an "immortal" due being endowed with the blood of Zeus - became a Saber that keeps fighting with fierce sword techniques and a body that cannot be injured.

Although registered with the Saint Graph of a Saber, it would be more accurate to say they are a sort of Servant with Double Class.
This peculiarity is probably an exception derived from being Divine Spirits Servants.

When they first appeared in the fifth Lostbelt, they came into existence as living gods.
The twin gods that were defeated in battle by Kirschtaria Wodime lost their lives for a time and later forged a contract with Kirschtaria as Lostbelt Servants.
Having learned about the legends of "their pan-human history's selves" through said contract, the brother Castor harbored a great hatred towards the humanity that caused his decline - regardless of that being an event from the pan-human history.
The sister Pollux also came to hate the humanity that held her brother in contempt.

As a result, the siblings became endowed with a fire of deep hatred and consistently kept showing a violent behaviour towards the Chaldea party and the citizens of Olympus.

◆

On the other hand, the twin gods that were summoned by Chaldea as Servants of the pan-human history do not have the severe violent nature of their Lostbelt's selves.
Although the elder brother Castor possesses the mentality and background required to come into existence with the Saint Graph of an Avenger, the personality of the younger sister Pollux is especially more gentle when compared to that of the Lostbelt Servant. Since the sister will end up rebuking him, there should be no problem in leaving the brother alone to some extent.

The Dioskouroi are never apart, always snuggling up to one another. Putting in another way, they cannot be separated. They are "a single Heroic Spirit made out of two people".

Divine Core of the Twin Gods: B
A skill possessed by both of them.
Given that they are originally twin gods of old, the rank of this should be either A or out-of-scale. However, as a result of receiving the influence of the legends of the twins from Greek mythology that took shape in later years, it is being restricted to B Rank.
In particular, one can infer this is caused by the elder brother Castor being regarded as "not having the blood of gods" by the legends of later generations.

Star of the Chief God: A
A skill that denotes the way of being of the twin gods, who became a constellation as an existence of two individuals fused into one.

Guardian of Voyages: B
Bringing about protections to those who travel in ships.
The existence of the twin gods invigorates the surrounding people as a hope for overcoming hardships.
Something similar to Voyager of the Storm, it was originally a composite skill that includes Military Tactics and Charisma.

Prana Burst (Light/Ancient): A
These twin gods have been regarded as the very light of "St. Elmo's fire" that flickers on the sea.
A skill falsely similar to the variation of Prana Burst possessed by a portion of the saint-type of Servants.
By emitting magical energy in the form of light, they augment their fighting power.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Dioscures Tyndaridae - Twin Gods Eugoly
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit

Maximum Targets: 1 person
The skills of Pollux (regarded as an expert of the sword) and the power of Castor (who resents being demoted from a god). A complete・perfect combination attack released by the twins who kept snuggling up to each other even in heavens.
This coordinated special technique given birth by their tremendous trust on one another has being sublimated to realm of a Noble Phantasm.

Also, only when performing the release of True Name, the two regain their divinity as an ancient deity almost completely, with their divine core being temporarily raised to the highest rank. An attack that employs the magical energy in the scale of a pure Divine Spirt can probably disregard all obstacles (be them physical or magical) and pulverize its target.

Caenis

Kainis

A warrior and usurper that appears in Greek Mythology.
As a member of the Argonauts, she underwent adventures together with many heroes.
It has been told that she was a woman, but became a man.

A genuine woman in the past, supposedly she possessed great beauty and was extolled as a graceful maiden from Thessalia.
She kept refusing many marriage proposal, at one point, she received the love of the Sea God Poseidon (Neptune).
She had her chastity stolen.
The legend says that, feeling satisfied, the Sea God said "I will grant any wish of yours", to which she answered "make that I am not a woman, so that I never suffer like this again" - and thus Kainis became an invincible man.

It is uncertain whether she actually became a man.
Although it has been told that she became a bird with golden wings after death, disappearing in the skies, there are also anecdotes of her corpse as a woman being left behind.
In either case----
Kainis/Kaineus turned into a sturdy warrior after that incident, ruling over the land as an usurper.

A warrior who conceals rage in her body.
She hates the sea.
She hates the gods.
A rage of such a kind that she possesses Class Aptitude as an Avenger.
However, normally she does not give that impression.
If she is in a good mood, it may be possible to feel some cheerfulness.
Even if she is in a bad mood, she will still reply when talked to and go along with some silly chat.
She loves sweets, so she would probably be greatly delighted someone began to talk about pastry and the likes.

That being said.
It becomes impossible to control her once her rage has been ignited.
This frenzy - in which she is not reluctant to even kill her Master - is sometimes comparable to that of a Berserker.

She manifested as a female Servant.
Even her True Name became Kainis, from back when she lived as a woman.

...it has been said that, in her deathbed, Kainis changed into "a bird with golden wings".
Said anecdote has been furnished as a Noble Phantasm in her current manifestation, but there is a possibility that the special trait of "free transformation of the body" that said Noble Phantasm includes is going on a rampage.
Maybe this is the cause for her manifestation in a female flesh and the animal traits possessed by her body.

By advancing her Ascensions, the blessings and divine protections that compose her Noble Phantasm (in this work, it is being treated as a skill) start to emerge more pronouncedly and Kainis obtains a figure that is closer to what she had while alive.
Namely, clad with a sublime armor that is a close resemblance to the great Sea God Poseidon, the shining being with no equals---
Her figure as an "immortal warrior".

In addition, as a result of having received a particularly strong favor from Poseidon, her Saint Graph was composed while in a state in which her spiritual core has been drastically improved.
No longer fitting into the rank of a Heroic Spirit...
Upon her summoning, the warrior Kainis has achieved a manifestation as a Divine Spirit Servant.

She appears in the second season as the Servant of Kirschtaria Wodime.
The reason why Wodime was able to make Kainis (who hates, detests, loathes any form of divinity) serve him obediently is not just because of his exceptional charisma.
Wodime conveyed in detail the truth about his intentions - the "revision fo the Age of Gods".

Revise the Age of Gods by turning all humans into gods---
In short, all gods from ancient ages would lose their way of being. Of course, that also applied to the old gods of Greece, including the Sea God Poseidon, who was the target of Kainis rage!

"Perfect, that is the greatest form of settlement!"

Kainis highly endorsed Wodime.
"In that case, I shall fully wield the blessings and divine protections of the Sea God that have been endowed in this body as a Noble Phantasm!"

Mad Enhancement: EX
Kainis, the hero of tyranny, possesses an peculiar form of Mad Enhancement in this manifestation.
She usually is endowed with reason, but if her accumulated rage has exceeded a certain point, she turns into a gale of spear to whom all sorts of mutual understanding becomes impossible.
Not only she might be capable of killing her Master, there is even a tendency of proactively trying kill her Master in order to put an end to her own manifestation.

Divine Core of the Sea God: B
Given she is a Heroic Spirit, originally Kainis would not possess a divine core, but the Sea God Poseidon has bestowed a special grace to her Saint Graph.
As a rare exception, Kainis is endowed with a pseudo-divine core upon being summoned as a Servant, thus possessing the spiritual rank of a Divine Spirit Servant instead of a Heroic Spirit.

Romulus Quirinus

Roma means romance---
That which defines humans, who outgrew the Age of Gods and obtained the heart to love people as people.
The symbol for all of that.

The figure of the nation-founding king Romulus in his younger days - who was born between the War God Mars and the beautiful princess Silvia, raised while having animals as friends and would eventually build the cornerstone of the great Rome. At the same time, his figure from after ascending to heavens as the deified concept called Quirinus, one of the three supreme deities of Rome, given shape.

A being worshipped as a god, upon manifesting he became a symbol for "the development and expansion of civilization" in particular - one of the more harsh phenomena of the Ancient Roman civilization in human history.
Just like the homonymous Heroic Spirit that denotes reign and prosperity, he is an existence that exemplifies the possibilities of the humans that have departed from the Age of Gods.

At times cutting open the world, at times clearing a path for civilization, he who loves humans as a human.
If you were to liken his romantic arms as a "spear", they would be too big and too sharp.
A regular Saint Graph is simply not enough; he can only truly be welcomed by means of a Grand Saint Graph.
Namely----
Grand Lancer.

Although he became a regular Lancer upon his manifestation through the Chaldea-style of summoning, that doesn't change the fact he is an extraordinary existence.

The nation-founding hero of Rome, Romulus kept himself contained within the framework of a human, but this figure has finally revealed his aspects as a god.
Normally, it would be impossible for a Divine Spirit to be summoned with the Saint Graph of a Grand Class. But, as a very exceptional existence who has a deep connection to human history and became a supreme deity despite being human, he was summoned as a Grand Lancer in the fifth Lostbelt as a result of many miracles.

In the fifth Lostbelt, several Heroic Spirits of the anthropic principle opposed the King of the Lostbelt Zeus, but they were all defeated.
In order to entrust hope to the Chaldea that would eventually arrive, these Heroic Spirits mustered their last strengths to leave behind one great project.
Such was the "Operation Deicide".
The summoning of Romulus Quirinus, a Heroic Spirit/Divine Spirit who possessed aspects as a human despite being the supreme deity of a single mythological cosmology, took the side of the anthropic principle and concealed a power of the same nature as the thunder wielded by the Greek Chief God Zeus - at times referred as omniscient and omnipotent.

And thus, "Operation Deicide" was accomplished with the arrival of the Chaldea party.
Romulus Quirinus manifested in the Lostbelt, fought together with Chaldea and defeated the machine-gods of Olympus.

He disappeared after the Deicide.
It was though that he would never again manage to manifest...
But having form a bond with the Master, it became possible to summon the Saint Graph that was temporarily recorded by the Trismegistus of Novum Chaldea in a state other than the Grand Saint Graph.
Upon being summoned, he once again wields the arms that are like spears of light for the sake of the anthropic principle.

Divine Core of the Chief God: B+
As a child of the War God Mars who became Quirinus (a supreme deity of the Roman mythological cosmology) after death, Romulus is exceptionally endowed with a divine core in this Saint Graph.
Originally its rank would be out-of-scale, but it has been confined to B+ Rank at his summoning by Chaldea.

A Great Noble Phantasm that shares the same essence as the Noble Phantasm "Magna Voluisse Magnum", possessed by the homonymous Heroic Spirit.
Something that has sublimated the concept of "development and expansion of civilization" into a Noble Phantasm.

His romantic arms that cut open the world, clear the way for civilization and attempt to reach the sky of stars (space) one day are almost like spears of light---
At the same time that it is an embodiment of people's arrogance in attempting to command all creation, this is also an expression of people's brilliance in constantly attempting to develop while dreaming of an yet unseen tomorrow.
It brings about severe destruction when employed to attack.
It should be possible to witness even greater brilliance if this is employed for the sake of defense or creation--- but that is fundamentally not done in this work.

Both Holmes and Da Vinci conjectured about the possibility that this is an aspect (or maybe a practical application) of a downsized nation-building Authority.

Voyager

Voyager

In 1977, the unmanned space probe Voyager was launched by rocket from an Air Force base in Florida.
It performed examinations of planets within the Solar System - such as Jupiter and Saturn - and later departed for an endless interstellar mission.
Even now, he continues to fly in the sea of stars away from the heliosphere.

Voyager is an immature Servants by two different meanings.
He is a Heroic Spirt from modern times with an extremely short history; and possesses the body of a young boy of about 8 years-old.
Originally an assembly of observation equipments made out of aluminum alloy, he acquired an spiritual body equivalent to humans in order to fight through the Holy Grail War and attempt to reach a mutual understanding with his Master.
As a backlash of this miracle, the common knowledge installed in him is deficient, his vocabulary is somewhat lacking and his flesh is far from sturdy.
The outline of his external appearance was greatly influenced by the subjectivity of "Utsumi Erice" - a Master with a deep connection to him.

Nevertheless, in the present Chaldea, one can guess that he will achieve a growth suitable for a Guardian of the anthropic principle through repeated Ascensions.

Typical of a space probe, his curiosity is full of energy.
He is eager to take the initiative and experience many things.
The sense of smell and taste are a fresh stimulus for him, so he has a weakness for delicious cuisine and curious desserts.

Even in unknown locations, he exhibits an absolute sense of direction and spatial awareness ability.
His sense of hearing is also excellent, and he can commit to memory everything that he sees and hear.
Although his vocabulary is scarce, he understands many languages.
Likes to hear music from all genres and unintentionally ends up getting attracted to any live performances he encounters.
Seems to have some dislike for baths.

Kijou Kouyou

Kijou Kouyou

A folkloric demoness.
Supposedly defeated by Taira no Koremochi in Mt. Togakuchi, during the Heian period.
At the same time that she was the leader of band of thieves that opposed the Imperial Court, it has been told that she performed as a noblewoman who taught reading and writing and cured the illness of the countryfolk.
Her story is widely performed in noh, joururi and kabuki through the program Momiji-gari.

---the life of Kijou Kouyou.
It has been said that her childhood name was "Kureha", but she changed it to "Kouyou" upon moving to the capital.
Naturally wise and overflowing with beauty, she fascinated many people by skilfully playing the koto, eventually being recognised by the midaidokoro (legal wife) of Minamoto no Tsunemoto.
Soon she began to receive Tsunemoto's favor, but was then suspected of attempting to kill the midaidokoro by means of a curse and sentenced to death. However, due to having already conceived Tsunemoto's child by that time, she was exiled to Shinano instead.
Welcomed by the villagers of the Minase village (later called Kinasa village), Kouyou eventually became feared as a "demoness" that had the bandits of the region under her control.

The military commander appointed to subjugate her - Taira no Koremochi - would encounter Kouyou in the mountains, but he had a very hard fight. After being granted a spiritual sword for vanquishing demons by praying to the gods and buddhas, Koremochi disguised himself as a travelling priest and challenged Kouyou by himself, finally defeating her.

Supposedly born due to the prayers that her parents (who were not blessed with children) made to the Demon King of the Sixth Heavens, Kouyou possessed the qualities for sorcery since her early days.
The Mt. Togakuchi of Shinano that she had been exiled to was a mountain of Shugen where devotees had founded a temple after receiving a manifestation the Kuzuryuushin.
Also, the neighbouring Mt. Iizuna is well known among the enthusiasts of tengu worship as a land of sorcery・supernatural.
With this background, Kouyou was able to put another demoness - the "Oni no Oman", a remnant of Taira no Masakado's group who resented the Imperial court and was well known for her superhuman strength - under her command.

Utsumi Erice

Utsumi Erice

A Japan from a near future, after the conclusion of a Holy Grail War.
In its mosaic city "Akihabara", this 14 years-old girl served as a night watchwoman (night watch).
Due to her relentless work style when hunting Servants, she ended up being shunned while fearfully called "Grim Reaper".

In a future history different from the one Chaldea is proceeding to, she threw herself into a Holy Grail War along with Voyager - the last Servant to be summoned in that world. Not even she herself knows its conclusion.

She has been possessed by evil spirits referred as "haunts"(1) since her early childhood.
That spiritual wound manifests itself as a pseudo-material that oozes out from her body surface like a black mucus.
Although said spiritual wound gets aggravated from time to time, she got used to dealing with it and even became able to employ it at will - to the point of calling herself a "demon lord (Erlkonig)".
In exchange for also being effective as a supernatural sense that perceives signs of death and bloodlust, the haunts constantly demand sacrifices, eating into Erice's own body if not satisfied.

A person who prioritizes efficiency. She prefers simple and sturdy things, tools and garments that are both practical and functional.
As for food, she likes spicy meals and those full of nutritional value.
She couldn't care less about flavor.
Bearing certain prejudice against magi, she regards herself as a "spellcaster", but well...

She is very knowledgeable about Heroic Spirits from all times and places.
Spends her spare time mostly scanning over books and video documents related to Heroic Spirits. Despite capitilizing on said knowledge to ruthlessly deal with them as a "Grim Reaper", she respects the career those Servants built in their previous lifetime, displaying a deep reverence for them. Above all, she admires voyagers and adventurers who discovered unknown worlds.
"Not really... they were quite common in the mosaic city..."
Although pretending to be calm in such a manner, it actually seems that she is secretly quite excited about the everyday life in Chaldea, to the point of blood rushing to her head and producing nosebleeds.

Artoria Pendragon (Caster)

Artoria Pendragon (Caster)

A prophecized child, chosen along with the "Staff of Selection".
These are her "spare time", "en route" and "interval" figures, from before she reaches Camelot.

"Hoorayyy, it is finally my turn!
Caster Artoria.
I shall do my best within the scope of my powers!"

An splendidly pure and energetic girl.
A sore loser who is strong in face of adversity, due to cherishing the surrounding mood above all else, she hides her true feelings without telling anyone - just like any ordinary young girl.
Spending her time doing nothing but studying magecraft, she is a practical researcher who runs around the fields just like a young boy.

When her Saint Graph reaches its third stage, she becomes able to employ a great number of treasured swords and magic catalysts.
Such as the Carnwennan of Shadow Step, Spumador of the Lightning, and the mythological formal wear Marmyadose.
The giant staff that Artoria wields in the third stage of her Saint Graph is the great sword that was supposedly forged by a god of fire and then bestowed to a great hero. Said to surpass Excalibur in terms of might alone, allegedly there was even a time when King Arthur lent Excalibur to Gawain and used this great sword instead.

An Artoria who was summoned to Chaldea slightly before everybody else.
Rather than "a hero and a magus", her relationship with the Master is that of "reliable friends" instead.

Opening her eyes wide upon seeing the King of Knights Artoria, getting depressed upon seeing the tyrant Artoria and smiling cheerfully and thinking "I'm so jealous!" from the bottom of her heart upon being the swimsuit Artoria. She is such Artoria.

Sesshouin Kiara (Swimsuit)

Sesshouin Kiara (Swimsuit)

A mysterious beauty who claims to be the Pseudo-Servant of Yaobikuni, the legendary Buddhist nun who became immortal by eating a "mermaid's flesh"---
Other than this, nothing else is known about her.

"Ha ha ha. Swimsuit Saint Graphs look quite fun, right?"

Sesshouin Kiara does not change even after turning into Yaobikuni.
"I am the only human in this world.
There is no difference in the good and the evil of insects. No matter what they might be, I shall simply pity, comfort and love them---"
That being said, this "love" is nothing but something to please Kiara herself. Even if that great love was a salvation for the concerned person, in the eyes of a third party, it would look no more than a hell where you are being toyed around with.
A bewitching existence that employs the talents of a "messiah" only for the sake of her own pleasure... that is who Sesshouin Kiara is.

...still.
Maybe something happened this time, for she is just a little bit more concerned with the attention from the surroundings than usual.
It might be that the way of being as Yaobikuni has bestowed her with some amount of "self-restraint", even if just a little.

・First Ascension
As her first swimsuit, first summer event, Kiara has upped in both purity and gracefulness when compared to her usual self.
There is also a certain levity in her feelings, as she is secretly in high spirits for going in a summer vacation, something she wasn't able to in her youth.
...consequentially, this causes a fearsome bug(1) in which she looks as nothing but "an elegant (and sometimes girlishly cute) young lady that he met on a summer resort" in the eyes of the Master.

・Second Ascension
A (self-styled) magical girl that Lily transformed into by using her compact.
She becomes slightly more sadistic and cruel than the usual Kiara. A dreadful police queen(2) that mercilessly tortures the weak points of slovenly pigs, masochists pigs that reap what they sow (regardless of being men or woman), causing them to become even more hopeless.
Why things turned out like this? The darkness that Lily carries is truly deep.

・Third Ascension
The same old Kiara... or so it seems; but due the effects of her long-awaited Little Mermaid cosplay and a strong "Lawful" attribute in this instance, her wickedness was temperated and her cleanliness became more apparent.
How exactly would that writer of fairy-tales criticize her over the fact that her character as a "bodhisattva full of compassion" comes out more when she is fused with a monster?

Sesshouin Kiara obtained a Swimsuit Saint Graph out of casually thinking "Swimsuit Saint Graphs look quite fun, right?"
Sensing the abnormality that occurred at the lake, she performed an independent manifestation almost as if going on a excursion, ended up being assaulted by Xu Fu's immortal-slaying mask and disappeared... or so it seemed, but Xu Fu's attack wasn't able to annihilate her due to it being of the instant kill-type (thanks to Independent Manifestation, she has resistance against instant kills), so she was reborn in the Mariana Trench where she was once defeated.
There she found a clam fossil and fused with it by gobbling it up.
On her way back to the surface, she ran across a swarm of mermaids in the depths of the sea and decided to also take in the attributes of a mermaid while she was at it. A High Servant who was reborn in the shape of a young girl by virtue of the good-for-nothing notion of "since I will be reborn anyway, let's try to start over from infancy!"

Kiara became a Lily mostly because it seemed fun, but that was also a means to deceive Xu Fu.
Her girlish (Lily) state was setup under the basis of having lost her memories, not even knowing her own name.
Due to that, Lily believed herself to be a Pseudo-Servant of Yaobikuni.

Having returned to the lake in order to even the scores with Xu Fu, Kiara concealed her identity and ended up remaking the rules of the death game into an enjoyable environment for herself.
When the fake Master (Xu Fu) from the lakeside Mt. B said "let's solve this situation", that meant "not exposing the truth of the lakeside, but rather exposing the identity of the individual who usurped Mt. B".

When she was Lily, she truly attempted to become of assistance to the Master, even using the magic compact (seashell) when he was in a predicament to transform into Kiara Police (the Second Ascension of her Saint Graph) and defeat evil.
However, turning into Kiara Police caused her to assess the entire situation, so she changed back to Lily due thinking that "it wouldn't be fun if the trick's secret was disclosed this early".

As a result of absorbing a certain apparition, she can produce a netherworld over the present world.

Logos Eater: D
A special trait as a Pleasure Deva. An ideology that treats intelligent lifeforms as toys. It received a Rank DOWN when compared to the usual Kiara.

Divine Power (Ink): B
Was she jealous, or maybe just self-conscious?
She originally had an ordinary Divine Power, but it seems that she ended up imitating Katsushika Hokusai (Saber) upon seeing her cheeky and fashionable variation.

Mermaid's Flesh: EX
It has been said that those who eat a mermaid's flesh become immortal.
In Japan, mermaids are conveyed as mere "fish in human shape", possessing no intelligence and incapable of understanding human speech.
In other words, they have no soul.
Since eating souless fish does not constitute as killing, it does not harm the girl's vows at all.
...even if, the number of mermaids she has eaten is equivalent to an entire swarm.

This is a digression, in work of a certain writer of fairytales, mermaids still don't have a soul even though they endowed with intelect.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Nirmanarati・Heaven's Foam - Kerakuten・Hamaguri Mandara(3)
Rank: A
Type: Anti-World
Range: 1～333
Maximum Targets: 1000 people
When she turned into a bewitching bodhisattva, Sesshouin Kiara placed mankind on top of her palm and toyed with them. This Noble Phantasm is a variation of that.
Although her Saint Graph does not reach the level of a bodhisattva, she can produce a spirit world over a wide range due to having devoured the largest class of divine beast that creates illusions - the clam.
In simple terms, the great devil's sea Sesshouin.
The "illusionary capital" displayed by the clam absorbs the targets and deprave them by getting rid of the boundaries between reality and illusion...
In other words, the moment they feel like "even if it is an illusion, it is fine so long I am fulfilled", they will be converted(4) (put on the same existential rank as the illusions) and cease to be living beings from reality.
Afterwards, Kiara will smile kindly - as if to say that it can't be helped that such trash-like illusions exist - and blow the people of the illusionary capital away with a sigh, causing them to vanish.

Also, nirmanarati is a term that refers to a "world" instead of a "god". The bodhisattva that devoured a clam became a paradise of the desire realm, just as that name indicates.

◆

In ancient China and Japan, the clam is regarded as a divine beast that is the source for the illusions that occur in the surface (shinkirou). A giant clam (Orient clam) that lives in the bottom of the ocean, its sigh (bubbles) was said to reach the surface and become the shinkirou.
The 'rou'(5) of shinkirou refers to a multistoried building; a picture book from the Sesshouin library painted it as "a castle much like a red light district that appears in the surface, leading people astray in its illusionary capital・illusionary pleasure - sowaka sowaka"

Illyasviel (swimsuit)

Illyasviel (swimsuit)

"Even a magical girl wants to play around!"

Throwing off her own identity, this magical girl bided her time to turn into a mere elementary school student at this summer.
Her tension is higher than usual, and both her IQ and luck continue to decline.
In short, this is Illya in her comedy mode.
Despite mostly ending up experiencing something unpleasant, she will probably scatter smiles and tears without being discouraged this time around as well.

Ruby has currently switched to its "splash mode", in the form of a hose and nozzle.
But even if its appearance changed, the troublesomeness to wilfully fly about and disturb the surroundings is still the same as ever.

Also, they left the Cards in their private room.

On that day, Illya suddenly realized:

"So long I remain in Chaldea, wouldn't this be like an eternal summer vacation...?"

Illya is the type to properly make plans and finish her homework within the first half of the summer vacation, but that always caused her to have nothing else to do during the latter half.
And now, she is in a situation where said latter half has been extended to infinitely stupid levels.

"It should be fine for me to start playing now, right...?
What about my swimsuit...?"

A desire of unknown cause to behave as it pleases her increases day by day.
Come to think of it, every year a portion of Servants become somewhat feebleminded whenever summer comes around.

Miyu's opinion was "maybe it is some kind of endemic disease".
That is a pretty scary thought.
According to Kuro "the symptoms are more severe on those who are usually diligent people".
Stop trying to intimidate others.
And then Ruby said "as a precaution, I am giving you a vaccine shot".
Wow, in that case everything will be fine.

"-wait, Ruby?! What is that injection...hot!
My body...!
My Saint Graph... will turn into summer...!"

And thus, the young girl was transformed into a Swimsuit Saint Graph.

Circumstances aside, Illya had her mind and body dyed in the summer colors and began regarding "wholeheartedly playing to exhaustion during the summer vacation" as a supreme notion.
No matter where you take her, she will gladly play around.

Incidentally, other than her reasoning, it seems that the restraint of her appetite also got loose and she will randomly start talking about food.
She can basically eat anything. Food is delicious.
She is not fat. This is a healthy growth.
"...I said that I'm not fat!"

Illya performed the indispensable role for any horror movie - a screaming personnel.
Let her rest her throat and heart for a while.
After taking a nap, she will probably be energetically flying about once again.
An elementary schooler is invincible during summer after all.

Making many memories during this summer.
Putting it bluntly, Illya's wish at this instance can be summed to just that.
In that case, it was fulfilled more than enough.
The days that she spent together with everyone on that lake probably will remain forever in her heart as vivid summer memory.

"Though I want to forget about that vivid color of blood as soon as possible..."

Probably will remain forever in her heart.

Everything in this world has an ending.
From the moment something begins, the countdown towards its ending has also started.
The treasures obtained, the emotions felt at those moments, the precious memories - all that will surely end up disappearing one day.
But even if you try to stop the hands of the clock out of fear of loss, the treasures you hold in your hands will only grow dull.
That is why we cannot stop on our tracks.
We move on towards the future, all while still losing, putting an end to something.
The old treasures that we leave behind will surely turn into constellations, and the trails of our progress turn into a rainbow that color the sky...

...or something along those lines. She ended up obtaining something akin to an important life lesson like that. I would prefer that she came to understand this on a more serious story.
In any case, Illya turns things such as summer memories, her bonds with everyone, and etc. into power to convert herself into "Prisma☆Illya Splash Rainbow!"
The resolve to put an end to the summer vacation summons the Illyas from different timelines, who then become a light bullet endowed with seven times the normal temporal density and break apart stagnant things.

Let's work hard starting the new school term.

She and the great hero Sigurd behave like a couple madly in love - intimately, innocently and gentle to the point that makes the instability of her usual Saint Graph seem unbelievable - but...

A scream that resounds in the night.
Sigurd is down on a pool of blood.
And Brynhildr is basked in blood herself.
What could possibly have happened...?!

Sigurd stubbornly does not speak about the identity of the criminal (he stands up no matter how many times it takes).
Brynhildr is nothing but flustered.
And in her hand is a bloodstained, new Noble Phantasm.
What could possibly have happened...?!

She is mostly the same as the normal (Lancer) Brynhildr.
Quiet and devoted.
However, unlike usual, her affections towards her beloved Sigurd have been completely unleashed.
Rejoicing love without any scruples, she intends to enjoy this vacation on a midsummer lake shore.
Surprisingly, she does not say dangerous lines such as "I will kill you" or "I am going to kill you now, okay?"
It almost looks like this Saint Graph has completely sealed away her automatic murderous impulses towards her "beloved one (Sigurd)".
However...

The truth is the following.
Thanks to a forceful adjustment of her Saint Graph by means of overlapping Original Runes, she is able to harmoniously spend time with her beloved Sigurd during the day. But once nighttime comes, a murderous intent that is much greater than the one from her normal Saint Graph swells out of Brynhildr... causing her to kill him.
Sigurd has been brazenly receiving this every night.

Sigurd originally suggested this Saint Graph based on Brynhildr's wishes (that of "even if just a few days, I want to spend some time with you without being tempted by my murderous intents"), but her murderous intent (love) ended up becoming inflated by the repeated contacts with Sigurd as a result and she had the bitter experience of going into a rampage for a while.
Although her rampage was suppressed by the combined efforts of Sigurd and the Master...
In any event, this loving pair cannot remain together forever.
This is but a transient Saint Graph, which lasts only a single summer.

"You're adorable in this Saint Graph too. But, as expected, it is your usual self that I love the most."

Supposedly, Sigurd said such a thing at the end of that summer.

Receiving such words from her beloved, Brynhildr smiled.
And while smiling, she cried ever so slightly.

If asked, she will surely answer that she is happy.

Mad Enhancement: D-
Although her Saint Graph changed into that of a Berserker, the rank of the Mad Enhancement skill that she was assigned is low.
Reaching a mutual understanding by means of words is possible.

Swan Formal Wear (Summer): A+
A white bikini.
No. This is indeed the Svanhvit - the garments of a battle-maiden that conquer the skies - which has been reshaped into something befitting the midsummer lake shore. It is endowed with flight capabilities.

Wisdom of the Midsummer: B
The crystallization of the wisdom of the gods, who know almost everything there is to know about summer.
A pair of glasses that she made together with Sigurd.

Summer Time Lovers: EX
"I will end up killing Sigurd... my beloved."
Even if she cannot change her established foundation as a Heroic Spirit, until the tragic moment that is yet to come (that is, "until nighttime"), Summer Brynhildr can behave innocently like a young girl that knows nothing, enjoying her rendezvous with Sigurd.
This is also a unique skill that applied the Original Runes.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Maximum Targets: 1 person/50 people
After Heroic Spirit Brynhildr has temporarily summoned・materialized a blue and transparent giant sword, Heroic Spirit Sigurd swings it downward, butchering the opponent.
An instantaneous combination attack/combination Noble Phantasm.

Summoning of a large-sized weapon that Brynhildr cannot wield by herself, and wielding a large-sized weapon that Sigurd cannot summon by himself.
The summoned giant sword is an imitation of the divine sword that the great god Odin bestowed to the war god of old, Tyr - produced by Brynhildr herself through the effects of the Original Runes. Although just a replica, it is endowed with a destructive power befitting a weapon of god.

Yu Meiren (Swimsuit)

Yu Meiren (Swimsuit)

"A summer resort! A vacation with Lord Xiang Yu!"
You Meiren had thus transformed her Saint Graph into a swimsuit by means of pure enthusiasm, but Xiang Yu had to remain in Chaldea due to unavoidable circumstances.
-First Chapter, Closure-

That being said. Although Yu Meiren's ambitions fell apart, the investigation of the singularity had not been completed.
Holding onto the single spear that was leant by the mechanical general, Xiang Yu (which was meant to serve as precaution against the "evils of summer" that he had calculated), that extraordinary beauty gorgeously, glamorously departed to the frontlines of the summer singularity.
-Second Chapter, Closure-

Yu Meiren came to know that the "evils(1) of summer" mentioned by Xiang Yu was a term that included nuances such as "summer temptations", "a summer fever towards flirting".
"You mean... that he was worried other men would flirt with me?!"
This conversely caused her to feel his love and become excited.
After that, all that was left was a Yu Meiren who was a little more inflamed by Xiang Yu's love, and a little more merciless towards flirtatious men.
-Yu Meiren's Summer, Fin-

*Personality
She is mostly the same as the normal Yu Meiren, but somewhat more enthusiastic due being lent Xiang Yu's spear.
Also, since she is feeling her connection to Xiang Yu a little more strongly than usual, while her overall misanthropy remains mostly the same, her lack of tolerance towards flirtatious men that try to coax her in special is all the more greater. Playboys ought to perish.
This will be invoked against those who (she arbitrarily feels that) leer at her, even if they don't actually try to flirt.
In other words, there is a chance that a spear will come flying your way just by looking at her swimsuit-clad silhouette. Her argument is that: "it can't be helped, as I have to preserve my chastity to Lord Xiang Yu".

'Both me and her held on to a single wish for a long time.'

'I had halfway resigned myself that it was impossible, yet wandered for eternity due being unable to fully give up on it.
She vowed to fulfill it almost as if cursing herself, and thus assembled eternity as her own blood.'

'To set foot into the realm of eternity just for the sake of such wish; I couldn't help but think of if as both foolish and futile.
Still... regardless of whether it was foolish or wise, I understood that she probably would be unable to stop once she got started.
Because that pure, honestly simple way of being was just like trees that survive by entrusting just a single wish to their seeds.
Regardless of meaning, regardless of good and evil, those are things that end up lasting.'

'So I do not hate her. Nor do I have contempt for her.
I can only sigh in exasperation.'

'In short.
I cannot fulfil her wishes, but...
Her existence itself.'

"...well, I don't particularly hate her.
Though I think that she could change the manner how she addresses me."

She would do anything for the sake of the order that exist between herself and Xiang Yu.

Incarnated Spirit of Summer: A+
Of course, the fact she is an incarnated spirit does not change.
Still, by changing her Saint Graph into a swimsuit, her way of being was somewhat optimized towards the summer.
The efficiency of mana absorption increases in proportion to the presence of summer-like nature... that is, the water of a summer resort's lake shore and a brilliant sunlight.
This becomes a style improper for the image of a bloodsucking species, but of course that she pays no mind to that.
It is not like her preferences have changed, so you'll end up seeing her sunbathing while murmuring complaints such as "it's so hot!"

Dance of Bygone Days: EX
A skill for the sword dance she once performed before Xiang Yu.
Despite holding the conviction that human civilization is detestable, worthless of even imitating, she might bend it sometimes for the sake of Xiang Yu.
She does not care if it can be objectively described as skillful or not. Nor does she care how others would evaluate it. Those are inconsequential.
It is just that it was necessary for her to dance sometimes.
What sort of evaluation he made, what sort of expression appeared in his face - those are things that only she knows.
Those have all been deeply engraved in her Saint Graph in the form of precious memories, together with this skill.

Originally, this skill would be either sealed away or outright inexistent unless Xiang Yu is close by - thus impossible to be employed.
At this instance, the seal on this skill has been lifted due to the shock of having been lent his spear. Consequentially, said spear functions as a proxy of sorts and makes the employment of this skill possible.
Currently, it has been arranged into a spear dance.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Anti-Fling Rondo - Spear Dance of Summer Evil Mortality
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1～10
Maximum Targets: 20 people
The word "fling" is a slang for "extramarital affair" or "a summer's love", which in turn points to the evils of summer.
An anti-evils of summer compulsory removal technique by means of the spear lent by Xian Yu, which is the embodiment of his love (or so she thinks). It is endowed with a special efficacy towards men due to an extreme, arbitrary decision from her part.

Although Yu Meiren has no knowledge of martial arts or tactics, as a result of getting excited over Xiang Yu's love, she remembered about the sword dance once performed for him.
This is the result of setting her mind in making use of that and then arranging it into a spear dance.
As a consequence, it turned out into something akin to pole dance for some reason.

Just like her original Noble Phantasm, Eternal Lament, this is something that causes abnormal weather by letting magical energy go on a rampage as she destroys her own body. However, the motions of the spear dance that uses Xiang Yu's spear as an axis added the vector of "rotation" to it, consequently leading to the occurrence of tornado-type curse instead of a rain of blood.
The eternal lamentation (lament) changed its shape into a round dance (rondo) of death.

Abigail Williams (Swimsuit)

Abigail Williams (Swimsuit)

Dreams are surely reality.
After all, they hatch out from the cradle of consciousness(1) and are the cage of universal truth that embraces and nurtures consciousness.
I am an adeptus of the dream-like boundary, a servant of the Lord Father...

End of the 17th century. In the English-controlled Massachusetts.
Abigail Williams, who was only a 12 years-old Puritan girl at the time, became a central personage of the melancholic incident in which many villagers were prosecuted and executed by hanging - the "Salem Witch Trials".

Due to many overlapping factors, the Abigail that was summoned as a Servant established a connection with the wicked god of outer space - the "All-in-One and One-in-All" - whose existence still cannot be verified in this universe.
This young girl wields the mighty power of a descender (Foreigner) as a "gate of dreams" - the faithful vessel of an Outer God.

The modest wish that such girl harboured in her chest was to quietly, gracefully spend the summer holidays together with her Master...

"...isn't that right? This is a vacation after all.
Surely, it can't be helped if the feelings that were kept concealed everyday end up overflowing..."

Despite being fundamentally endowed with the same Saint Graph・personality, her nature and tastes differs elaborately in accordance to the stage of her Ascension.

[First Ascension]
If likened to a trio of sisters, this would be the eldest. Contrary to her scary appearance, she interacts with the Master in a tolerant manner.
An unexpectedly reasonable person(??) that sometimes mutters things in a mature, understanding resignation.
[Second Ascension]
If likened to a trio of sisters, this would be middle one.
The version whose diligent nature is the closest to the Puritan girl, Abigail.
Studious and rimming with curiosity. A methodical person with a firm character.
[Third Ascension]
If likened to a trio of sisters, this would the youngest. Naive and somewhat childish.
Due to this purity, she stands side by side with insanity.
A new aspect that Abigail had never displayed until now.
A boon from the charms of summer.

The name of the black cat that follows her around is "Nosh"(2), while the white cat is called Luthar.
Whenever Abigail is out of sight, they are always friendly trying to kill each other.

That which comes crawling from outer space...
The descender "Foreigner" is a foreign object and a heresy in the Holy Grail War.

Supposedly, the privileged have a duty to wield their power in service of the world.
But this young girl does not think that is the case.
For it is those who declare themselves to be righteous that catch a glimpse of insanity.

Supposedly, it is the responsibility of the erudite to pursue the path of divine revelation.
But this girl does not believe in that.
Rather than the wisdom lying dormant in a graveyard, she finds value in the passion of those who visit in order to request an apprenticeship.

Supposedly, a king must remain aloof even as he lives in the hearts of the masses.
But this girl does not wish for that.
She simply hopes to be a resort for the heart that rejects a peaceful rest.

The underprivileged. The uneducated. The untouchables.
Stopping at the edge of the world (divided almost like a wave lapping onto the shore), she wishes to guide those who driftingly arrive at that place.

Foreigner is a foreign object and a heresy.
Humans spin the future while interweaving even with such a menace.

Tomoe Gozen (Swimsuit)

Tomoe Gozen (Swimsuit)

"It seems that, every time summer comes by, a portion of Chaldea's Heroic Spirits end up forgetting about moderation...
Why would that be?"

Just as she was wondering about such things, Tomoe Gozen would finally have a firsthand experience with its cause in this summer. Namely...
Passion that overflows from inside oneself. A power that is almost like like a fire, a sun. In short, a "sense of liberation"!
Although the talks about the sea never really hit her during the past years, it seems that something flipped inside of her this time around - possibly because the stage in this summer is among the mountains.
She awakened to the Swimsuit Saint Graph.

That being said.
Leisure is not the only form of pleasure in summer.
Yes.
There is also games!

...come, summer has began.
In that case, let us now play until we drop, without sparing time for sleep!

Her outfit is an easy-going summer swimsuit!
Dual-wielding VR controllers in both hands!
By no means she has completely abandoned moderation, but being on a mountain causes a "sense of liberation" to gush out and stimulate her, constantly pushing her back. And so, Tomoe Gozen plunges into entertainment in this summer.

Her personality is mostly the same as the usual (Archer) Tomoe Gozen.
However, as she is in her off-mode, her intent to play around is on full throttle.
While she will naturally get concerned if some abnormality occurs, her intent to play will not disappear.
"All that aside, we must enjoy this summer."

Midnight of Summer Night: A
"It shames to admit this... but Tomoe is somewhat, different, than usual during the summer nights."
"How exactly?"
"I can play games as much as I like!"
A skill that makes one stronger when staying up late. So long the concerned person is enjoying herself from the bottom of her heart, it is possible to temporarily postpone fatigue and prana consumption.
A variation of Battle Continuation, but its effects became quite different from that of the original skill.

VR Shinkage-ryuu: B+
A skill that denotes proficiency in VR sword play that employs stick-shaped controllers.
She is specially proficient with dual-wielding.
In the beginning, she was endowed with D Rank in this skill, but there was a change in the skill's name and a remarkable improvement in its rank after she received Yagyuu Tajima-no-kami's personal instruction.
Tomoe's testimony was that "The many techniques bestowed by Lord Tajima-no-kami can suddenly be applied in real dual-wielding, not only VR".
"Isn't that just the normal Yagyuu Shinkage-ryuu?" retorted Chiyome dubiously.
Still, it seems that the sword techniques that she wields are something very different from those of the Yagyuu Shinkage-ryuu.

VR Shinkage-ryuu Secret Technique・Dual-Wielding Laser Blade
Rank: C

A constantly active-type of Noble Phantasm.
Originally, a VR laser blade is something limited to just VR and does not function as a sword in reality, but Saber Tomoe can mold her own magical energy in the form of a laser blade. It is employed in attacks.
Naturally, the blade emits a super-high heat.

Even now, Tomoe does not hesitate to say that this paranormal ability is "derived from the powers of Lord Yoshinaka, who was dubbed the Asahi Shogun(2)". But, as expected, this probably comes from her own abilities - pronouncily revealing her oni blood.
The influence of this Noble Phantasm is the reason why the actual swords (long swords) that she uses in her Second and Third Ascension also emit a super-high heat.

VR Shinkage-ryuu Secret Technique・Sun Sword of Tomoegafuchi
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 40 people
An anti-army attack that employs the aforementioned Noble Phantasm.
Tomoe herself affirms that "I awakened to the deeper mysteries of the VR Shinkage-ryuu", but its veracity is uncertain.
To be specific, she just equips the VR googles and charges at the enemy camp.
After having swinged the two swords to her heart's content, a pseudo-sun that symbolizes her feelings towards Kiso Yoshinaka appears in the sky based on the "circle" produced by the tracks of the scorching blades - performing the finishing blow against the enemy camp with a irradiation of magical energy.
If she feels like it, it is possible to launch not just one, but two, three, four, five... a true multitude of pseudo-suns. Still, in this work she fundamentally produces just one.

Murasaki Shikibu (Swimsuit)

Murasaki Shikibu (Swimsuit)

A widow clad in an enigmatic, dark colored swimsuit.
The words that spill from her lips are enigmatic and chilly, giving off the premonition of a creeping bizarre.
Will there be any survivors in this summer journey...?

...that is purely the impression her outfit gives.
It is not like Rider Murasaki Shikibu is the criminal or mastermind behind some incident.
"A widow in a glamorous black swimsuit".
"A young girl in a suspicious sailor uniform".
"A woman clad in a Showa Era, idol-style swimsuit".
The many appearances chosen by Murasaki Shikibu in this summer are merely disguises based around such themes.
Simply put, she is enjoying dressing herself like that.

In other words, this is cosplay!

As a result of repeatedly reading all sorts of stories related to summer, Murasaki Shikibu became somewhat knowledgable about mystery and horror novels, and even horror movies.
Once summer is over, she should softly turn back into the usual librarian-like Murasaki Shikibu, but...

Surprisingly, she may end up acquiring a penchant for those attires and wearing them indefinitely.
Of course, it is not like she will turn them into her everyday clothes, but rather enjoy herself by secretly changing into them on the depths of the underground library, or maybe in the private area behind the reception desk.
Should you witness that by accident, try saying "it's okay to wear them normally, without reservations". She will surely be delighted.
Should you instead say "it's okay to cosplay in public, without reservations", you'll probably see a Murasaki Shikibu that says "that's not it!" and denies cosplaying for some reason.

Summer Night Black Widow: EX
A skill that is deeply concerned with the appearance of her First Ascension.
A widow that suspiciously smiles in the summer night, also known as the Black Widow!
This appearance takes the enigmatic mistress of a mansion from mystery novels (particularly, that which is equated with the "criminal") as its motif, but it is not like she herself is the criminal behind some incident.
She is merely enjoying this sort of cosplay.

Incidentally, it seems that Murasaki Shikibu herself is very little aware of the fact she is cosplaying, so she will make a very flustered expression once that is pointed out.

Literary Maiden (Summer): A
The summer Murasaki Shikibu is particularly committed to summer stories.
From Sci-Fi to historical dramas, she has read a great variety of tales related to summer.
As a result of having repeatedly read many mystery and horror novels set on summer, the summer Murasaki Shikibu reacts very sensitively towards tricks and horror contents.

As far as movies go, she understand them a little, but seems to be kind of biased towards horror movies from the 80s and 90s for some reason.
(Apparently, she has a "mentor" in Chaldea that taught her about horror movies).

A skill that is deeply concerned with the appearance of her Third Ascension.
As a result of coming in contact with many old movies, summer Murasaki Shikibu became interested in Japan's Showa idols, especially their summer outfits.
"I see, so this is the modern summer outfits..."

Bizarre Preferences: (Summer): C++
A skill that is deeply concerned with the appearance of her Second Ascension.
As a result of becoming familiar with mystery and horror novels, summer Murasaki Shikibu acquired a particular preference for attires.
"I see, so this is the modern summer outfits..."

This is why she is holding to a crutch even though she had not twisted her legs, and is covered in bandages even though she is not injured.
Anyone who mets her ends up asking "did you got hurt?", but Murasaki Shikibu carefully starts explaining "No, you see...", ultimately leading them to comprehend things.
'I see, in other words... this is cosplay...?'

NOBLE PHANTASM

Sotoorihime・The Deed of a Spider
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 1 person
A poem recited while pouring her feelings into it. By comprehending the poem once read by Sotoorihime - who is sometimes counted as one of the three deities of waka - she temporarily manifests a monster. A summoning Noble Phantasm of sorts.

My dear comes tonight, for a spider has spread its net on the roots of bamboo grass(1)

Originally, the spider mentioned in this poem should be unrelated to the tsuchigumo monster, but...
Once the True Name is released, a single variant of tsuchigumo that was once sealed by her former teacher of onmyodou, Abe no Seimei, is summoned at that place to perform a charge attack. Murasaki Shikibu mounts on the tsuchigumo during the charge, and that is believed to be the cause of why her Saint Graph was established as a Rider.

Supposedly, this is more effective towards targets that know of romantic love and passion.
There is very little effect against existences who do not know of romantic love and passion.


(1) from what my research told me, this is based on an old Chinese superstition that a spider near human belongings is a sign of an impending, unexpected visit.

Himiko

Himiko

The queen of Yamatai, a country that once existed in ancient Japan.
It has been told that she skilfully bewildered and managed the masses by means of a form of magecraft called kidou(1).
A queen full of mysteries, who suddenly appeared in ancient Japan (which was then split in many small nations and continuously plagued by wars) and established a nation by means of a power of oracles.

It has been told that Himiko took residence in the depths of a giant temple, never appeared in public and that her words were conveyed to the people by her nameless younger brother.
She excelled in diplomacy, having dispatched an envoy to the Kingdom of Wei and obtaining the seal of Qinwei Wowang(2).
After Himiko's death, Yamatai would suddenly disappear from the stage of history, being last confirmed in the records of Himiko's pupil, Iyo.
Even now, there are many mysteries surrounding the country of Yamatai, and even its location cannot be determined.

According to the testimony of the concerned person: "I wasn't able to freely go out anymore after becoming a queen. So frankly, I don't really know myself~"

By looks alone, she appears to be just a carefree, energetic and moody girl. However, the power of mystery concealed within her body is amazing, befitting the arbiter of light that she professes herself to be.
Sometimes through oracles, sometimes through brute forc... no, forget about it. Let's just say that she subdued conflicts through many means such as that.
One might not be able to sense this when she is behaving as a queen, but she was originally a compassionate girl that prized living together with nature and felt delighted by sunlight, the fruits of the earth and people's smiles.
Incidentally, for some reason she has an abnormal disposition as a ame-onna.
Since it would start raining whenever she tried to go out, she was also valued as a rain-making priestess as a result.

"...ugh, another heavy rain. Why do we only have downpours like this when I try to go out... What? It nurtures the crops? Yeah, yeah. Into the storage it goes."

By the way, the fact that her signature move is heavy punch tempered through bone-smashing fortune-telling is regarded as the greatest secret of Yamatai.

"Finishing move! Himiko Punch!"

The celestial bodies represent the abyss, and the abyss is also an infinite mirror that is patterned after the celestial bodies.

She heard "that" on a certain night.
It seemed very far away, yet very close by. Shouting as if whispering. Cheerfully as if despairing about it. Almost as if she herself was a reflection, or as if the reflection went deep within herself. Before long, eternal wisdom connected the perpetual distance that she could see with this place.

A primeval psychic, who was born as an infinite mirror that reflects wisdom beyond humans in the present world and holds more power that humans can handle within her body.

She threw aside the ordinary life as a human and devoted her body for the sake of people's smiles. She has no regrets about that life and even accepted the darkness that would arrive at the end of it. Even if it meant eventually vanishing beyond time...

"So you see, I don't particularly have any wish for the Holy Grail... No! I'm lying! I have one! A wish!" To be honest, as you well know, I was pressed by my duties as a queen in my previous life and, you see, how can I say this, I never had any luck with things like, well, fateful encounters? Err, things would completely smoothly when doing love fortune-telling for others, like 'yeah, yeah, I see it. Maybe not perfectly, but I can see it. I wish you well~', but I became completely hopeless whenever trying to do it for myself - in other words, a hopeless priestess. As such, I request an dramatic and exciting fateful encounter with my soul mate! Please!"

...yes, this is the arbiter of light, the First Queen of Yamatai, Himiko.

In addition, while this Noble Phantasm is active, a mysterious surge that revitalizes the strengths as primitive humans of surrounding allies is emitted.

At its greatest release, it also becomes possible to change the very outcome of the prediction, even if just slightly.

"This is the voice of Heavens, right?!" or so Himiko thought. But not even she herself truly understood what exactly this deed called oracle really was.

Incidentally, supposedly this voice of Heavens never once made any allusions about her soul mate.

"Sigh... even though I can learn about everything that does not involve me. Who made a Himiko like this?"

Saito Hajime

Saito Hajime

Saito Hajime. The captain of the Third Company of the Shinsengumi, a police organization that operated mostly in the Kyoto of the Bakumatsu.
Together with Okita Souji and Nagakura Shinpachi, he was regarded as one of the most prominent swordsmen even among the Shinsengumi, but there are many unknown matters about him - such as his origins and sword style.

One of the few members of the Shinsengumi who fought to the bitter end, from the turbulent times of the Bakumatsu until the Meiji era, and lead a fulfilling life.
His skill with the sword was head and shoulders above the rest even within the organization. The captain of the Second Company, Nagakura Shinpachi, once said this: Okita Souji had the sword of a warrior, and Saito Hajime an invincible sword.
Supposedly he performed many missions that could not be made public (such as purging dissidents within the regiment), and there are even theories that he was a spy of the bakufu or the Aizu Domain sent to infiltrate the Shinsengumi.
As a matter of fact, there were many questionable aspects about his behavior during his time in the Shinsengumi, and it is believed that he was placed in a special station of sorts among the regimental soldiers.

At a glance, he appears as a frivolous man who is both handsome and fun, but sometimes one can se his aspect as a sharp and able person of keen discernment.
Prone to falling into anachronistic sense of values, among the regimental soldiers of the Shinsengumi, he alone held the creed of living flexibly without being trapped by preexisting values.

"Or something like that. Truth is, I just prefer to stick to what seems most interesting."

Be as it may, since he basically just behaves in this manner, his coworker Okita ended up giving him the over-the-top nickname "flippant Shinsengumi".

His favorite dish is noodles. He has a special taste for korokke soba.

"How can I put this, the korokke soaked in soba tsuyu tastes somewhat cheap, yet delicious. I simply can't get enough of this."

A member of the Shinsengumi since its early days, he was highly trusted by the Director Kondo and the Deputy Director Hijikata and was tasked with numerous important missions. Despite having struggled through many fierce battles, he eventually parted ways with the regiment and supported the new government, ultimately leading a fulfilling life.

He would become a man of few words in his final years and left this world without telling others about much of his life, his time in the Shinsengume above all.

Rather than a swordsman, most of his works were that of a spy. When you add to that an easygoing way of life that never revealed his true feelings to others, he would consequentially often be slandered as a man without convictions as a warrior - by both his enemies and even his fellow regimental soldiers.

"Well, they are not exactly wrong. I would aimlessly wander that way, and then aimlessly wander in the opposite direction, always following whatever seemed most interesting at that moment. Death means defeat for humans, so you've not truly been defeated as long as you don't die. That is the secret behind the invincible sword. Not that I care."

...still, who would know. Until the very end, he lived through the new era while constantly hoisting a single flag within his heart.

Invincible Sword: A
The words used to evaluate Saito's sword, deemed to be one of the strongest even among the Shinsengumi. Saito's swordsmanship does not abide to a clear style. Although told to belong to either the Mugai-ryuu or the Ittou-ryuu, it is in fact a free swordsmanship that is not bound to anything.

Liberal Sword Draw: B
A phantasmagorical battoujustsu that can be unleashed from left and right, with either hand. A swordsmanship with no kata, which continuously changes freely starting from the point. A peculiar combat technique that makes predictions derived from seeing through his attacks and the likes extremely difficult.

"My dominant hand? Well, I am just drawing in the way that seems easiest at the time. To being with, if one had enough spare time to think about that, he should instead be slashing already, right?"

The sure-kill, upwards diagonal slash to the shoulder of Saito Hajime, whose sword was evaluated as invincible. A free sword that has no kata.
Instantly cutting down the opponent by approaching with a unique stepping (which is unlike simple speed) that disturbs the his sense of distance and time perception, causing him to miscalculate the ma-ai between them. Since the opponent is being cut down from a distance he thought it was impossible to be reached, he falls into a hallucination of already being cut by the time he realized.

As a general rule, it is possible to ignore the target's reach and make the first move from any ma-ai, so long the opponent is employing a melee weapon (regardless of it being a spear or whatever).

"...thus, my sword is invincible!"

Oda Nobukatsu

Oda Nobukatsu

The younger brother of Oda Nobunaga, the famous Hegemon of the Warring States.
Other than being Oda Nobunaga's brother, there are very little historical mentions about him in particular, so he has a very fragile, meagre Saint Graph.
Originally, it should be impossible to summon him as a Heroic Spirit, but he was able manifest after obtaining a Saint Graph due certain reasons.

Unlike Nobunaga (who was called the 'Fool of Owari'), Nobukatsu was well known as for his sagacity since his childhood. Not only he was doted by his mother, Dota Gozen, but the other family members also had great expectation on him as the next head of the Oda Family. Before long, Nobukatsu consolidated the vassals that supported him and rose in revolt against Nobunaga, claiming that he himself was the head of the Oda Family. However, the two rebellions he attempted ended in failure and ultimately he would be deliberately murdered by Nobunaga.

The brother of Nobunaga, nothing more and nothing less. That is all there is to the human called Oda Nobukatsu.

He is fundamentally a sociable young man.
If pressed to say, his capacity and resourcefulness as a military commander could be regarded as outstanding, but he cannot properly evaluate himself due to his sister being too much extraordinary.
His elder sister is everything to him, so he resented the Sengoku era that did not approve of her and carried out the crazy deed of instigating the family members who could become an obstacle to her and set them up to be purged alongside him.
This is merely an assumption, but had they been born as common citizens instead of children of a daimyo, there might have been a future in which the two siblings lived together in harmony.

This is a digression, but in this manifestation, those mysterious RPFs(1) have also been summoned as optional parts for Nobukatsu (maybe they are fragments of Nobunaga's Saint Graph or something). According to Nobukatsu, they have discreetly been given the latest technical specifications, so trying to find the differences between the older models might be a good way to pass the time.

Elder sister is amazing! She saved me when I was being bullied in the castle town and then left those ruffians half dead!

Elder sister is amazing! She climbed a really tall tree in the blink of an eye and then threw kaki at me!

Elder sister is amazing! In the riverbank, she spoke about the shape of a new era that I never dreamt of!

Elder sister is amazing! She told me about a form of warfare that someone like me could never have even imagined!

Elder sister is amazing! Mother doesn't see how amazing elder sister is, but she will surely understand one day!

Elder sister is amazing! Why don't you guys understand? In which way could I possibly excel over elder sister?!

Elder sister is amazing! Oh I see, I finally see new, these guys are idiots!

Elder sister is amazing! There is no way guys like these are fit to be elder sister's vassals, and of course neither do I!

Elder sister is amazing! I will burn down everything that could become a hindrance to elder sister, including myself of course!

Elder sister is amazing! Why would I be forgiven? Why won't you kill me?!

Elder sister is amazing! She will finally kill this incompetent, good for nothing that I am!

...thank you very much, elder sister!

Van Gogh

Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh was painter that was active in the Europe of the 19th century.
His works became highly valued after his death, earning him enthusiasts all over the world. History tells us that he was male, and his name, portraits and few remaining photographs also make that fact evident.

On another hand, this Foreigner that appeared while dressed as a boy and calls herself Van Gogh is different from the historical one in both appearance and gender.
Still, her artistic talent is truly that of Gogh himself.
She devours large meals, tells jokes and gloomy smiles while drawing pictures all over the place.

Sure enough, her identity is...

The historical Vincent van Gogh was born in 1853, in the family of a Dutch minister.
An art dealer, clerk of a bookshop, and when even his aspiration to convert into an evangelist was met with failure, he set his eyes on becoming a painter. He studied the Hague School, and would later acquire his own distinctive style upon receiving influence of the Impressionists.

After changing residences to Arles, France, he worked on a various masterpieces (such as the "Sunflowers"), but the deterioration of his relationship with his flatmate Gauguin resulted in him losing his mind and cause the incident in which he cut off his own ear.
Afterwards, he spent all of his time painting while enduring attacks of mental illness, until he took his own life on 1890, at the young age of 37 years-old. It has been said that there are inexplicable details about his death.

He was fond of sunflowers, and the yellow color that symbolizes sunlight. He also collected ukiyo-e as a hobby, even attempting to adopt its designs into a portion of his paintings.
He became charmed by cypresses in his later years, but some theories say that they were a theme that symbolized his views on life and death.

Her True Name is Klytie van Gogh.
Klytie is a water nymph described in Greek mythology. One of the Okeanides, the daughters of Okeanus and Tethys. Although once a lover of Apollon, she went mad when his favor was stolen by Leucothoe (daughter of the Persian king Orchamus) and lead her rival in love to ruin by means of slanders.
However, she was unable to regain Apollon's love and continued to look up at the sun, eventually changing into a single flower.

One could say that most of Gogh's character and body are derived from Klytie.
This is why motifs surrounding flowers and jellyfish start to appear as you repeat Ascensions, and the outfit that resembles a mourning dress in her second Ascension is derived from her deep regret and sadness.
Her low self-esteem and the smile that appears to be flirting with you are a result of self-loathing, which in turn is due to the fact she lost everything to her own folly.
She is probably unconsciously continuing to unreasonably insist that "I'm Gogh" in order to avert her eyes from that "part of herself that is not Gogh".

As a "patchwork", she constantly have anxieties about her identity.
That anxiety eventually invites madness, causing her own Saint Graph to change into the "Evil God of Flowers" and cause the crisis of leading the anthropic principle to eternal sleep all by herself.
Can you give her a stable identity before that happens? The responsibility imposed on her Master is just too heavy.

...however, contrary to expectations, the Servant Klytie van Gogh is stubborn and very cunning.
Upon learning about her troublesomeness, slyness, moral fiber and strong sense of duty at the end of many adventures, the Master who cultivated a bond with her will probably be able to guide her as a faithful and reliable adviser, without letting her degenerate into a mad god.

Although Gogh suffered from attacks of an inexplicable mental disease in his later years, he continued to hold on to the paintbrush while seeking faith and virtuous things.

Nemo

Captain Nemo

Triton, the mermaid that was lovingly raised by the God of Seas.
The Prince Dakkar that was described in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", or maybe the individual who became his model.
This "Nemo" is a combination of these two.

"Phantom" could only come into existence in the Variant Singularity・Shinjuku, but after she hacked into its data, the alchemist of Atlas Sion summoned this peculiar Servant.

In Novum Chaldea, he is in charge of transporting and supporting the tactical team.
Land operations are under the jurisdiction of little girl Da Vinci, but sea operations are under the jurisdiction of Captain Nemo, and by looking from that angle one could say that those two are rivals.

Honest and gentle, Triton was loved by all.
Meanwhile, Prince Dakkar was a man of conviction and a personification of dynamism.
As a "Phantom" that combined these two Heroic Spirits, Nemo's character slightly deviates from either the originals.

This Heroic Spirit who is both Triton and Nemo obtained a single conviction. That is "resistance against domination and trampling".
Even if the opponent is his god father, he will not allow the weak to be oppressed. Ironically, that also lead to a backlash against modern human society (the consumption culture).
Even now, he gets a little sullen when facing European culture. Of course, Greece is no exception, but according to him "the world of seas have no national borders".

When he first appeared, Nemo tried not to show his emotions to Mash and the protagonist.
That is because, by obtaining the memories of Prince Dakkar, he started to instinctively become wary of the "humans" that give birth to tragedies. As such, he displayed a terribly curt manner of speaking, but...

Since he has been entrusted with a ship, Nemo remains strict to both himself and others, not allowing spoiled behavior or selfish actions.
A hard-line Servant with the temperament of a military soldier, truly befitting the name of Captain.

...still. As Triton, he is also someone who gives blessings to adventurous journeys.
By the time he is formally summoned as a Servant of Chaldea, he will probably consider the protagonist as an adventurer・traveller, giving him many blessings and indicating his path.

At first he would stick to his role - saying that "I am but a submarine" - and never reveal his true self to anyone, not even the Master.
Once he deems someone trustworthy and lifts is caution, he will conversely become extremely attached to that person.

His original character is honest and amiable, never abandoning someone he took a liking to.
A Heroic Spirit that takes pity on people, even if he cannot see through their journey to the very end, he will continue to bestow the greatest blessings as far as his eyes can reach.

Operating a submarine, much less a military ship, all alone is impossible even for Nemo. Knowing that Nemo would eventually find his own ship unmanageable, Sion incorporated the fundamental, secret skill of the Atlas Institute - "segmented thinking" - into Nemo's summoning.
As a result, by breaking up his magical energy, Nemo became capable of creating "offshoots that are mostly identical to himself, but specialized in their own respective tasks".
These are the Nemo Series that work on the dock.

-Nemo Marine
The most numerous of the Series. There are about 12 of them (a standing force of 12, a maximum of 24 if you count the reserve), all with the same personality and appearance.
The labor force that perform all sorts of tasks within the ship such as cleaning, steering, maintenance, etc. Their personality is all but bright, never hating anyone (though they might show some distaste) and, in a crisis, put all their efforts in finding a solution even while complaining. The Series in which Triton's unadorned aspects come out most noticeably.

-Nemo Professor
Whenever addressing to males, he always calls them 'Mister'. Due to that, Blackbeard feels a small sense of affinity to him.
The academic authority within the ship. In charge of analysis, measurement, drafting strategies, etc.

-Nemo Engine
The stubborn chief engineer that administrates the engine section and takes pride in his work.
The reason why he takes command of the engine section (the most severe and dangerous of the entire ship) is due to a conviction akin to a mother's love.
"If it is for the sake of protecting people!"
Also, since he possesses a "self" on the same level as the Captain, he seriously think they should exchange roles if he makes a blunder.
His love towards people is strong, but so is his love towards the Nautilus.

-Nemo Nurse
The one in charge of the sickbay.
The most mature among the Nemos, this "adult Nemo" has been specialized for reasoning and tolerance. In a crisis, he executes his professional duties in a composed and cool-headed manner.

-Nemo Bakery
The Nemo that runs the mess deck (bakery), indispensable in any battleship. Since meals is what maintains the morale of the troops, this Nemo is ultimately the strongest.

The reason why Sion summoned Nemo as a Phantom is due to her not having employed the Chaldea-style of summoning.
Since the chances of success were unstable, she transmuted a Saint Graph that could operate as a Servant by combining the Saint Graphs of two Heroic Spirits.
As a result, he possesses both the names of Nemo and Triton, and also ended up becoming one with the "Noble Phantasm of the seas" that is associated to him - the submarine Nautilus.

When Sion first summoned him at the beginning of the second part, he was still in a state of being both a "mermaid" and a "prince". But upon joining forces with Chaldea and making up his mind about being of assistance to them, his way of being as a "mermaid" was sealed away and he settled on the way of being as "Captain Nemo" for the sake of capturing Atlantis.
Later, he would become the captain of the Dimensional Boundary Drilling Ship, Storm Border, and give his support to Novum Chaldea's struggles.





He loves parfaits (the concerned person regard this as a top secret).

Voyager of the Storm: C++
A captain purveyor skill. Since Triton was not a captain and Nemo had no experience in "getting through a storm in a tattered vessel" due to the high performance of his ship, his rank is lower than other captain-type Servants.
However, Nemo's performance greatly improves in a "waterside" field. The inclusion of a "++" in the rank is due to this special trait.

Indomitable Tenacity: B+
The mentality, conviction of Heroic Spirit Nemo given shape.
It provides Battle Continuation and NP charge, but its true worth is displayed when the guts is invoked. A captain must burn the fires to come up from behind when he falls into a dilemma.

Guide of a Journey: C++
Having once lead the way for the Argos ship, Triton is endowed with the disposition to guide heroes.
Since he protects and received the hopes of people that head towards unknown lands, worlds never seen before, Triton has a good compatibility with the way of being of the little girl Da Vinci, who "surpasses boundaries and head towards a better world".
This too has better efficacy when in a "waterside" field.

Although it can be employed even in places with no water (on land or in the sky), both accuracy rate and destructive power greatly improve when underwater, in the sea.
An unusual Noble Phantasm whose performance increases when in the field: waterside.

Ashiya Douman

Ashiya Douman

His eyes are like polished obsidian, and his cheeks are always risen in a perfect, cruel smile.
A gruesome body that can easily tear apart his enemies even barehanded.
A bewitching beast in human form, which causes those who look at him feel even a beauty of sorts...

A bonze onmyouji from the Heian period.
Also called Bonze Douman, or Priest Douman.
The fiend who vied with Abe no Seimei, the strongest Heian spellcaster.

Rather than a hero that protects the people, he is categorized as an anti-hero that brings harm to people by means of craftiness and leads the Heian world to peace by means of his own extinction.
It has been told he once tried to harm the head honcho of those times, Fujiwara no Michinaga, by means of a curse.
Unlike Abe no Seimei, who was affiliated with a proper government agency (the Onmyouryo), Ashiya Douman was a priest and thus belonged to a "private practice" in a sense.
It seems that they were in a cooperative relationship at first, but... at some point Douman began looking at Seimei and the Onmyouryo with animosity and opposed them at every opportunity. In the Heian Japan where mystery still lingered strongly, the clash between these two men who had mastered spellcasting was probably terrific.

Also, if one were to take the legendary episodes seriously, Douman had died many times over.
This work regards that, having utterly mastered the secrets arts of Hakudou Jounin(1), Ashiya Douman had already obtained a form of pseudo-immortality in his previous lifetime.

Alterego Ashiya Douman is a being falsely similar to the onmyouji Ashiya Douman that once existed.
Upon coming into existence as a Alterego, he incorporated three divine spirits and vengeful ghosts into his Saint Graph and turned into a High Servant.

The incorporated divine spirits and vengeful ghosts are the following:
First, the goddess from Aztec mythology - Itzpapalotl.
Second, the evil god from Slav mythology - Chernobog.
Third, the vengeful ghost of Heian Japan - Akuryou Safu.

In this work, Ashiya Douman is a clear enemy of the "capital" and its "people" that were protected by Seimei.
Behaving like a transcendental being that have delved deeply into the Wu Xing and can even manipulate nature (the gods) at times, he ridicules small things, fleeting things, the common people who humbly live their daily lives.
He enjoys trampling down on people's dignity, convictions just for fun (consequentially, the female Musashi utterly hates him).

Since he has manifested in the Alterego Class, it is believed that he is not the very Ashiya Douman that actually existed in the past, but a being that caricatured one aspect of him.
However, according to Caster Murasaki Shikibu, it seems like the past Douman was very much a fiend・troll.

The Alterego Ashiya Douman that was summoned by Chaldea has no memory about acting as a servant of the "God from Another Planet" or the fact of having opposed Chaldea again and again... or at least, that is how he behaves.
When questioned why he was summoned as an Alterego possessing a variety powers that he never had in his previous life, he simply says "well, I don't have the slightest idea".

Of course.
That is all bullshit.

He was unmistakably summoned by Chaldea while possessing the memories of the Alterego Limbo - the Douman who endeavored to shine like a black sun - that once opposed Chaldea.
The question now is: was this an accident-like coincidence caused by the connection he formed with Chaldea? A decision from the Pan-Human History, which holds no regards for one's origins so long he has power? Or maybe, did Alterego Ashiya Douman himself desired that "things turn out this way"?
(In addition, even if a Heroic Spirit were to desire so, there is no way to proof what sort of influence that would have in the summoning・manifestation)

Were he successful, the capital probably would have instantly fallen into ruin, the citizens would have been assaulted by misfortune and the streets would have been completely covered with people starving to death. Of course, the authorities would also have been ruined.

In regards to casting this curse as a Noble Phantasm, the vengeful ghost the Minister of the Left, Fujiwara no Akimitsu (the "Akuryou Safu" that fused with Alterego Douman) is temporarily summoned. Thanks to that, the success rate of the spellcasting rises by a substantially large amount.

The black sun that covers up the sky at the very end is an embodiment of Douman's arrogance and evil nature - a virtual composite manifestation of the goddess of darkness Itzpapalotl and the dark god Chernobog, which were absorbed as components for this Alterego.

Watanabe no Tsuna

Watanabe no Tsuna

Watanabe no Tsuna, a warrior that was mostly active during the mid stages of the Heian period.
A subordinate of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, together with Sakata Kintoki, Usui Sadamitsu and Urabe no Suetake, he would operate under the banner of the Raikou's Big Four.
Among them, Tsuna was a warrior that received great trust from Raikou and was cherished by the other three as if an older brother.

An extremely formal, straight-laced person.
Sociable despite being somewhat taciturn, he won fame as a level-headed oni-slayer.
He performed his job flawlessly and, in private, was dispassionate to the point it would be hard for a third party to even imagine it.
Supposedly, the surrounding people would trust him from the bottom of their hearts not due to his words, but by means of his demeanor and attitude.
He kills oni out of a sense of duty, not hatred.
...but a certain oni is an exception.

For Tsuna, oni were not something to hate, nor something to save, but simply something to kill.
He would show no pity or compassion; no hatred or joy.
In simple terms, it was his job. He would report to work every morning, patrol Kyoto, kill any oni that appeared and then go back home. Next day, he would repeat that cycle.
If born in modern ages, he would be a businessman that performed his job flawlessly (and always leaves work at the designated time).
A monster-like human that was never negligent in his training, no matter the situation, and continued to improve his skills.

Although he understands human livelihood, he does not feel like associating himself with it.
Although he understand human emotions, he is uncertain whether that exists within himself or not.
To make matters worse, it is not like he has no emotions. While he may risk his life to protect his colleagues and innocent people, Tsuna does not help them as a form of expressing intense emotions. To put it simply, he is like a robot that has been programmed to aid others.
According to the person himself, he "does it" because he "cannot help doing so", and that is all there is to it.
Maybe due not placing himself within the framework of humans, he feels that it is more difficult to kill people than oni.
He grumbled such a thing to Kintoki and the others once in the past, and they were naturally at lost for words.

A deficient, deviant(1) since his childhood. He perceives himself as someone who barely shows some humanity by struggling to be a proper member of the Raikou's Big Four, a proper warrior, and kill oni.

However, the brutal yet luxuriant oni with golden hair is the one and only exception.
Right now, only she can disturb the emotions that lay deep within Tsuna.

An impossible birth by natural causes. Having been given life as an onigo, Ibuki Douji grew in the mountains and eventually obtained fearsome paranormal powers.

After moving to Mt. Ooe, she turned into the great monster "Shuten Douji", who would come down to the capital and enjoy herself in slaughter and pillage...

Her disposition as a "deity" is strong, and her self-consciousness as a part of nature (world) is high.
She behaves in accordance to primitive desires.
She doesn't appear to have any intentions of getting along with humans and their culture, civilization.
Making a face of someone who does not yet know the depths of alcohol, the delicacy of human life, or the pleasure of indulging in a momentary madness, but...
Once she immerses herself in her desires, there will be no leniency.
Harmless if not provoked, but one could say that she is even more dangerous than Shuten Douji in a sense.

She has a strong fixation with anything that catches her interest once.
She frequently keeps staring at the target her interest, so long it continues to exist.
In most cases, she reaches out with her long fingertips, touches it and ends up breaking it to pieces... or maybe, ends up bringing about its corruption and leading it to death.

In particular, it is very easy for her to become interested in the oni species that are her own different aspect. Naturally, her eyes will probably sparkle towards an existence similar to herself (the child of a dragon god).

◆

...this would be Ibuki Douji's original temperament, but something is different in the one who manifested in Chaldea.

She is being completely influenced by modern culture.

Even if she cannot completely stand on the same point of view as humans, as her roots are those of a god, her behavior is that of "a young lady Heroic Spirit/Divine Spirit that spends her time fitting in modern society".
The attitude of someone who has learned quite a lot regarding what humans are all about.

She also makes provocations and attempts at seduction on others, including the Master.
It seems like she learned about modern society from somewhere. Although it is impossible to tell if it is true or not, the Heroic Spirit Sherlock Holmes made the conjecture that "maybe she met another Heroic Spirit that had similarly grown accustomed to modern society, and then took advantage of the peculiarities of the Chaldea-style of summoning to forcibly carry over those records."

Although it seems that she turns back to her inborn disposition, the conduct as a god whenever she gets serious (like when releasing the True Name of the Noble Phantasm), she usually just enjoys herself as the "lady snake" in an easygoing manner.

◆

Incidentally, whenever she is in her pubescent form (the first stage of Ascension), she displays the behaviors of both "Ibuki, the lady snake" and "Ibuki, the deity".
When she herself said "it could be dangerous if I shed my skin", she is probably referring to "Ibuki, the deity".

A divine spirit, and a different aspect of the anti-hero "Shuten Douji".

Divine Core of the Snake God: A
A composite skill that includes Divinity.
It should be difficult for her to be endowed with a divine core, as traditions say she is a mixed-blood of humans, but...
As a child Yamata no Orochi, Ibuki Douji exceptionally possesses this skill at a high rank.
If she ever gets demoted to an oni, this skill would be lost and probably get transposed as Divinity at low rank.

Surging Waves of Eight Veins: B
She inherited one of the aspects that Yamata no Orochi is endowed with as a god - the disposition as a deity of floods.
The immutable body that goes hand in hand with an intense aggressiveness destroys all things.

Fingertip of Corruption: A
Loss of purity, lack of honor, and death.
Those touched by Ibuki Douji's fingertips are impure, and thus not allowed to remain before gods and people.
Although categorized as an offensive skill, it obtains plus effects when attempting conversations outside of combat with targets such as spirits of the dead, magical beasts and demoted gods.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Divine Sword・Long Sword of Kusanagi
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army/Anti-Fortress
Range: 1～60
Maximum Targets: 500 people
According to the legends of Susanoo in the Kojiki, the god Susanoo no Mikoto descended upon the land of Izumo after being exiled from Takamagahara. There he supposedly saved the Princess Kushinada from being turned into a living sacrifice and exterminated a giant monster.
Said monster was none other than Yamata no Orochi
The red-eyed apparition possessing eight heads and eight tails.
A giant snake, boasting an enormous size that spanned eight peaks and valleys.
The greatest calamity dragon of Japan.

Susanoo defeated that giant snake (dragon) and obtained a single divine sword from one of its tails.
The name of that sword was Kusanagi no Tachi.
Also known as Kusanagi no Tsurugi, Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi and Tsumugari no Tachi.
Later, it would be dedicated to the Atsuta Shrine and established as one of the Three Sacred Treasures.

Ibuki Douji can employ this sword that her father, Yamata no Orochi, held within his body as a Noble Phantasm.
The single slash from the release of True Name is a fearsome thing that can cut through eight peaks and valleys and bring forth eight new large rivers... However, according to Ibuki Douji, this divine sword is something she temporarily borrowed with only a fraction of its brilliance. Its true worth is not something of this level.

Vritra

Vritra

A serpent evil spirit (alternatively, a wicked dragon) spoken about in the Rig Veda and the Mahabharata.
With a name meaning "obstacle", it has been told to possess the power to dam up waters and induce droughts.
The one to defeat Vritra and release these waters was the god Indra. Vritra was constantly depicted as Indra's enemy, and their conflict was supposedly repeated many times over in mythology.

Indra's alias of Vṛitrahan means "he who kills Vritra".

Dragon of the dammed region(1), Vritra.
A draconic species and a divine spirit that embodied the concept of "obstacle" itself.
Something that dams up the world.
Upon manifesting as a Servant, that has been minimalized into a human form.

Although often depicted as an evil god that brings about droughts, it has also been interpreted as a "giant of winter".

If Vritra embodies the very "condition where water is absent (has been dammed up)" - such as a severe winter - then the Thunder God Indra that opposes it embodies the very "condition where that (the hardships from droughts and winter) was defeated, and a merciful rain falls after water has been released".

The reason why it has been summoned in a female body is a mystery.
Given the episode of how it died after becoming spellbound by the beauty Rambha, who was dispatched in accordance to one of Indra's schemes, it may be imitating said Rambha. Or maybe, by becoming a beauty herself, she is displaying her determination of "not falling for Indra's coward tricks again".

Fundamentally, it is a being that transcended the concept of gender. Since its true nature does not change either way, Servant Vritra has nothing but a female disposition that is just enough to match its current form.

Having an absolute necessity such a water dammed up is, of course, an agony for humans.
It is wicked and evil. Thus, she is a wicked dragon.
However, as a matter of fact, that was also something necessary for the world.
Just like the discharge of a dam, the breath of a sprout in spring, in this world there is such a thing like "a vigor only born after being held back once".
What she truly governs over is the "obstacle that is a necessary evil for the sake of evolution", "evolution that surely awaits beyond a surmounted obstacle".

More than anything else, she finds pleasure in seeing people (or even the world itself) grow after overcoming the hardships and obstacles that she prepared.
This is not affection, but a sense of enjoyment that is unilateral and condescending - truly befitting of a god.
That is why she does not hold back nor shows any reservations.
Despite preparing an obstacle that could even be seen as an absolute evil, that is not because she has any wishes to exterminate humans in particular.
She just wants to see a stronger future, stronger world, stronger humanity.
In other words, a sadism towards the entire world.
Putting in another way, she is an overly harsh world trainer and audience.
Someone who believes in the strength of people while being "in the evil side".

Although Ganesha was also a god of obstacles originally, due to the effects of religious beliefs, his current disposition was mostly converted into that of a "god of fortune that removes obstacles".
That is not the case with Vritra, who stoically "produces obstacles" to the bitter end.
There is no leniency in her actions. Much less compassion.
She simply wants to enjoy herself in her own self-indulgence--- that of seeing the figure of people, the world as they surmount her obstacles and grow.

She holds the vajra that was once shot into her mouth.

Destined Divine Enemy: A
Although Vritra is depicted in many forms across legends, her role itself never changes.
Fundamentally a being that opposes god; this skill denotes her immutable position and meaning of existence.

Eternally Indestructible Demon: EX
Supposedly, even if defeated by Indra, Vritra will once again revive after enough time has passed and begin her conflict with the god anew.
A skill that denotes such eternal repetition, indestructibility that could be even likened to a natural phenomenon.
The confrontation between "Vritra, who dams up water (brings about droughts, or maybe imprisons it on mountains and clouds)" and "Indra, who releases it by means of thunderstorms" was not a one time thing. Rather, it is something that has been repeated since the remote past and will also continue on eternally in the future.
Possibly, this is the very primordial religious belief in regards to gods and nature.
By means of an intensity equivalent to the reverence that people had towards nature when they turned it into a god, Vritra rules as an indestructible demon.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Asura Shreshtha - O Demon, Completely Cover Heaven and Earth
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World
Range: 9～99
Maximum Targets: 1000 people
A Noble Phantasm crowned with one of Vritra's aliases, meaning "best among the Asuras".
By employing an army of demons (be them underlings or offshoots of her own self), she covers the world in accordance to her own meaning of existence, causing the target to become isolated. Just like how the "mountain" in the legends of "Vritra imprisoning waters in a mountain with its own body" can be interpreted as a "cloud", that appearance is much like an ominous cloud falling across the world.

At the same time that she is a wicked dragon, Vritra has also been depicted as an Asura (demonic being), even possessing the name of Asurendra (king of Asuras).
In the Mahabharata, there are descriptions of Vritra leading a large army of demonic beings (such as Kalakeyas and Rakshasas) to harass the Indra and the other gods. Consequentially, she can also employ this as an army of pure violence, and not just as an Authority to "dam up something".




(1) the Japanese term 堰界 (ikai) has no direct equivalent in English and this is the closest translation I could come up with. Most likely, this is a completely original word born out of a pun with the term 異界 (ikai; spirit world)

Karna (Santa)

Karna (Santa)

Karna turned into a Santa due many circumstances.

Christmas is a once in a year occasion when everybody "wish for a present".
Once he realized that Santa Claus is the very being who take on those wishes upon himself, and that he had the power to meet those expectations, Karna naturally had no hesitations about shouldering that role.
"Santa, please give me a present". He quite naturally answer to such wishes from the children with a "I see. Then I shall present you". The type of Santa Claus who grants wishes neither too much or too little.
Cool and with a lack of friendliness, but he is by no means cold. It is just that his kindness is hard to be conveyed.

For some reason, his fighting methodology turned into a strait-laced boxing style.
Thanks to that, he ended up remembering the training period in which he practiced diligently bare fists along with his brethren, and that apparently increased his "feelings of desire towards pure martial training and his own growth".

Although it may appear as if he is no different from usual, in a sense one could also say that his mentality became "younger".
Despite maintaining himself always cool, he can also behave in a passionate manner akin to the protagonist of a shonen manga just like that.

His AGI parameter has been optimized for factors such as the punching speed and stepping speed of his boxing style.

Riding: -
Due having acquired a boxing style, he has lost the Riding skill despite being in the Saber Class.
Although he is a Santa, Karna does not ride a sleigh. A boxer should just silently walk (do road work).

Divinity: A
The fact that he is the son of the Sun God Surya does not change even after he became a Santa.
"Santa is the sun of the children. If anything, one could even say that Surya himself is a Santa".
There was a Santa who indifferently said such a thing at the cafeteria.
And behind him, Arjura kept making a puzzled face from beginning to end while eating curry.

Hard Puncher: EX
A skill that denotes the sheer might of his punching attacks.
He possesses a sure-kill fist that can knock out the enemy with a single blow.

Foot Santa: A
A wondrous skill that combined together footwork and Santa Claus.
The foundation of Santa Karna's fighting style.
A skill that denotes the footwork, stepping techniques seen in boxing.
In addition to things such as appropriate distance control in accordance to the situation, a high-speed stepping that does not miss even the slightest opening from the enemy, attack evasion by means of footwork and etc, this also allows him to walk as a Santa Claus that delivers presents on foot with certainty, no matter in what sort of dangerous location the recipient might be (such as fields of lava or heavy snow).

Fist of Flash: A
This Karna does not possess a spear, grasping only a fist.
However, that does not mean a decline in fighting power.
Having been trained by Drona - a master proficient in all sorts of martial arts - Karna is also familiar with bare-handed combat.
If anything, the accumulated past recollections of having diligently studied martial arts together with Arjuna, Ashvatthaman and the others gave birth to a fresh sensation, causing his body to become lighter than when it was being dragged by the weight of his spear.

The fastest speed of the punches that he can unleash surpasses the speed of light, so those who face against him will only be able to catch a glimpse of the traces of a fist that is much like a flash... perhaps.
This also resembles an unwavering sword flash; in other words, his fists are truly like a drawn blade.
"That is why the present me became a Saber."
There was a Santa who resonantly said such a thing at the cafeteria.
And behind him, Ashvatthaman kept making a puzzled face from beginning to end while eating chicken.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Winning Arkaputra - Saint Consecutive Fist
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～2
Maximum Targets: 1 person
A finish combination that Santa Karna unleashes for the sake of victory.
After performing an agile weaving so to not let the opponent focus on him, he steps in one go and blow away the enemy with a barrage of hooks from left and right, then two consecutive left jabs, followed by right straight and a upper punch in the end.
Of course, all these punches have both the Santa Power and his strength as a son of Surya fully charged into them, with nothing held back. In special, in that upper launched at the very end, the surplus energy is expressed in a sublime manner by becoming wings of light, or a halo. The destructive power of this combination is on super galactic levels, and those who receive it fall flat on the mat with an impact akin of being struck by a meteorite.

Arkaputra is one of Karna's aliases, meaning "child of the sun".

Graharaja Santa Cross - Saint Crossing Fist
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～2
Maximum Targets: 1 person
A one-hit one-kill cross-counter punch, which this Karna devised as his finishing blow.
This was created because, in addition to awakening to a boxing style as soon as he became a Santa Claus, Karna learned about the existence of a sure-kill punch in boxing called cross-counter and for some reason reached the conclusion that "the knockout blow of a Santa is the cross-counter, and surely that is the reason why his name is Santa Claus".
It is impossible to perceive this technique by sight.
The fist released in perfect match to the enemy attack will strike at the chin of said enemy like a beam, drawing a single trace of light akin to the glimmer of the sun.
That appearance resembles even a slash from the holy sword of the planet; in other words, this is a sure-kill fist and a sure-kill sword(1).

"Graharaja" means "king of constellations" and is one of the aliases of the Sun God Surya.



(1) this is a pun. The Japanese terms for "sure-kill fist" (必殺拳) and "sure-kill sword" (必殺剣) can both be read as "hissatsu ken"

Senji Muramasa (Shirou)

Senji Muramasa

A swordsmith from Kuwana, Ise Province.
His pseudonym during the Bunki period was Uemon no Jou.
Regarded as the founder of the swordsmith clan that produced blades of most excellent sharpness during the Sengoku period (although there are documents from the Edo period indicating the existence of three earlier generations of Muramasas - from the supposed founder of the Jouji period until the one from Ouei - the oldest sword that can be confirmed as a work of the Muramasa clan belongs to the early Bunki period. As such, this work regards the Muramasa of the Bunki years as the founder).

He appears in the “Seven Contests of Master Swordsmen Heroic Spirits” as a Heroic Spirit dispatched by the Counter Force, while in the blanked Earth he is a Heroic Spirit summoned by the "God from Another Planet".
Really, what is his truth, inner feelings....?

"Huh? There is nothing strange or mysterious about it!
So long I can perform my job in an acceptable manner, I'm fine either way!"

-Personality
An old man who devoted his life to the manufacture of swords.
His appearance in this manifestation is very much that of a virile young man, but his mentality is instead closer to someone in his final years.
His personality is vigorous, showing no hesitations nor concerns about the future.
His speech is mostly curt, and one cannot call him friendly by any standards.
At a first glance, it is easy to think of him as a coldhearted person, but once you get to know him you discover that he very good at looking after others.
A man with a chivalrous spirit.

While indeed the personality of Muramasa himself, this is also the personality of the body that became his vessel.... Or maybe, the young man who became the vessel might have attained this personality if he were to lead a fulfilling life until his old age.

A (workaholic) person who takes pride in "completing" the job he was commissioned with to a point that he finds acceptable - regardless of the contents of said commission or who the client is.
Although he can choose to take cruel・cold-blooded measures for the sake of his job at times, it seems that he simply cannot bring himself to perform heretic deeds.

Back in the Sengoku Era (a time when a vast number of blades were forged), many great swordsmiths had set up shop all over Japan.
On occasion, they would even join the battlefield and repair the blades that were damaged during combat.
Among them, the swordsmith of Kuwana in the Ise Province - Senji Muramasa - was well known as a skilled artisan, and his blades were especially sought by the warriors of Mikawa.

There are legends about the blades of the Muramasa clan.
Supposedly, they were bewitched swords that brought calamity to the family of the Tokugawa shoguns.
The blade employed in the assassination of Ieyasu's grandfather, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu.
The blade that cut down his father, Hirotada.
The blade that assisted in the suicide of his eldest son, Matsudaira Nobuyasu.
And the blade that injured Ieyasu himself...
Supposedly, all of those blades bore the name "Muramasa".

A famous sword, and also a Tokugawa-slaying bewitched sword. The fearsome Muramasa.
In many narratives・kabuki plays, the name "Muramasa" is used for bloody bewitched swords.
It also appears in legends regarding antagonists of the Tokugawa.
In 1651, Yu Shousetsu was supposedly in possession of a Muramasa when he plotted to overthrow the shogunate. In the "Meishou Genkouroku", Sanada Yukimura was also described as the owner of a Muramasa.

During the Bakumatsu, many patriots intent on overthrowing the shogunate sought for Muramasa blades, including Saigou Takamori. When the Boshin War broke out, the commander-in-chief of he Eastern front, Prince Arisugawa Taruhito, was supposedly carrying a "Muramasa".

"Although my heart is that of an old geezer in the brink of death, I got a body that I can treat as unreasonably as I want.
Is this what they call feeling rejuvenated?"

Territory Creation: A
Senji Muramasa operates while based in his own workshop--- his smithy.
Of course, this is something completely different from those employed by the magi, but it appears that he has been granted the Class Skill of a Caster due an interpretation made when he manifested as a Servant.
As a chief of craftsmen, he possesses an extraordinary Territory Creation ability.

Appreciation for Swords: A
A skill falsely similar to Appreciation for Fine Arts.
An understanding towards armaments. Just by taking a single glance at ordinary weapons that are not Noble Phantasms, he is able to grasp how it should be used in a fight. At A Rank and above, he is also able to understand weapons other than swords.
It works as an accurate advice towards allies, and he is also able to see through the weak points of enemies.

Inauspicious at Present: B
A skill derived from the legends surrounding the blades endowed with the name of Muramasa, the so called "Bewitched Sword Muramasa" legends.
Supposedly, the swords produced by Senji Muramasa and his clan brought calamity to the ruling Tokugawa House.
In FGO, it works as a "special efficacy towards statesmen・kings".

Test Cutting: B+
Also called tameshi-giri, tameshi kenjutsu.
A technique to measure the performance, sharpness of a sword.
Senji Muramasa can freely draw out the destructive power that the weapon in his hands is furnished with. If he feels like it, it is even possible to draw out the maximum force that would cause said weapon to break itself in a single swing.

Eyes of Karma: A
A latent ability of his body. A variation of the skill Clairvoyance.
It improves both motionless and dynamic vision.
Powers of observation that are specialized for only combat maneuvers.
With this body, it is impossible to perceive fate like a proper Clairvoyance... or so it should have been. But, thanks to Muramasa's own sense of values (who spent his entire lifetime staring at the "karma" found amidst the flames), these eyes of the falcon reached a point where they can pierce not only the prey, but also the causality that lies ahead.

Blaze: EX
Casting exercises in which he invests his body and soul, to the point of burning himself to ashes.

"All convergences(1), all longstanding desires, all untimely deaths---
Those were all for the sake of reaching this single sword."

NOBLE PHANTASM

Tsumukari Muramasa - Sourceless Sword Creation
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～10
Maximum Targets: 10 people
A Noble Phantasm that manufactures the ultimate sword.
After generating a wasteland of countless swords by means of the deployment of a peculiar Reality Marble (supposedly, that scenery somewhat resembles the "Unlimited Blade Works (Infinite Sword Creation) of Heroic Spirit EMIYA"), all these swords crumble and scatter as if snow crystals until a single blade remains in Senji Muramasa's hand.
Its slash severs time space and causality altogether.
The blade's name is "Tsumukari Muramasa".
Tsumukari comes from the "Tsumukari no Tachi (also called "Tsumuha no Tachi")".
In other words, it denotes the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi/Kusanagi no Tsurugi - the divine treasure that appeared from the tail of the greatest calamity dragon of Japan, Yamata no Orochi. A red-eyed apparition possessing eight heads and eight tails that boasted an enormous size, spanning across eight peaks and valleys, it was ultimately killed by Susanoo no Mikoto.

Yoshitsune (Avenger)

Taira no Kagekiyo

An enigmatic character that appears in the Heike Monogatari.
In the Battle of Yashima, he came to be known as "Akushichi Byoue(1) Kagekiyo from Kazusa" by the army of both sides, but his personal history remains unclear.
Although he claimed to come "from Kazusa" in the Heike Monogatari, his specific origins differ among the various sources.

"Akushichi Byoue Kagekiyo from Kazusa" would soon be called "Taira no Kagekiyo", the avenger of the Heike...
Eventually reaching a point that he became known as a onryou-like existence, always plotting revenge against the Genji.

Something that kills the Genji.
A Genji slaughtering device.
Its mentality is already like that of a machine that acts automatically, better described as an onryou of revenge.

In regard to the joys and pains as an individual, it does not demonstrate an attitude of someone who experiences them.
Whether that is because it already abandoned them, or simply became "difficult to feel them"---

A being that, for some reason, has condensed both the military exploits accomplished by the samurai of the Heike and the deep-seated grudge of fleeing soldiers towards the Genji into the individual called "Taira no Kagekiyo".
In fact, Yorimoto suffered 37 attacks from Kagekiyo and failed to capture him at every time.
Whoever it may be, anyone who holds desire for vengeance against the Genji will eventually turn into Kagekiyo and bare their fangs at the Genji.

Regardless if they are truly Kagekiyo.
Regardless if they are truly from the Heike.
It no longer matters if they are the person himself.
Those who resent the Genji are absorbed into "Taira no Kagekiyo".
The real Kagekiyo may have actually fled to the Chuugoku region and even spent his remaining years in relative happiness. But unrelated to that, "Taira no Kagekiyo" takes revenge on the Genji while bearing a deep-seated grudge.

The Kagekiyo legends are numerous, and historical landmarks that are (allegedly) related to Kagekiyo exist all over the country. Just like, when speaking of the Genji, you similarly find historical landmarks that are (allegedly) related to Yoshitsune.
In this manifestation, Kagekiyo has evidently became one with Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

In other words...
"The warrior called Minamoto no Yoshitsune is actually Taira no Kagekiyo".

Was Yoshitsune absorbed as one of Kagekiyo's component materials due to "possessing deep-seated grudge towards the Genji"? Or maybe, Yoshitsune's enormous hatred became the core for Kagekiyo as an Avenger...?

For a time, Yoshitsune was the step-son of Taira no Kiyomori. One might probably say that the means by how Yoshitsune (who harbored a deep-seated grudge) became one with the onryou of the Heike had already been arranged since her previous life.

Shogyou Mujou・Jousha Hissui(2)
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～20
Maximum Targets: 1 person
An attack of malediction, unleashed by imbuing the deep-seated grudge of the Heike in the sword.

Nothing in this world is omnipresent, immutable. Thus, an immortal warrior or a perpetual nation are also impossible--- Such natural order shaves off the target's existence itself as a blade.
Maybe due to the sublimation of the anecdotes of it employing a very long sword, once the True Name is released, its weapon changes from two Azamaru into a single, giant blade.
Although this is also effective against those other than the Genji, as expected it is most effective against the Genji.


(1) roughly, "vile seventh byoue". This 'byoue' mentioned here was a government official of sorts in the old Ritsuryou system.

(2) roughly, "all worldly things are transitory・even the prosperous inevitably decay". These are generally regarded as the "moral of the story" for the Heike Monogatari.

Kiichi Hougen

Kiichi Hougen

A Buddhist onmyouji and a strategist.
A being told to be the founder of the Kyouhachi-ryuu, the oldest style of swordsmanship in Saigoku(1).
She imparted combat techniques to the young Ushiwakamaru, teaching even the innermost secrets of strategy from the Liu Tao and the San Lue... but not out of her own volition. A fearsome great mentor who once tried to kill Ushiwakamaru out of indignation upon discovering that he seduced her daughter in order to steal a glance at these texts.

Her name is Kiichi Hougen.
And her true identity is---?

Simply broadminded.
She laughs off at small details without paying much attention to them.

At a first glance, she appears as tolerant and humane, a good-natured person with a trustworthy behavior.
However, she is actually endowed with sensitivities far removed from that of humans. Upon spending a long time talking and taking care of her, it will probably become apparent that she is "different from humans on a fundamental level".

She is not human.

The superhuman being called Kiichi Hougen is often equated with the daitengu known as Kurama Tengu, aka. Soujoubou of Mt. Kurama.
In the "Kiichi Hougen Sanryaku no Maki" (a joururi from the Edo period), it has been recorded that Kiichi Hougen's true identity is Soujoubou, the tengu of Mt. Kurama.

In this work as well...
Kiichi Hougen is not human.
But a daitengu.

A spiritual species affiliated with natural elements such as mountains, the sky, wind, fire and etc. Although different from the so called divine spirits, she is an existence closer to them than human beings.

Although a being that originally would have no relations to humans, depending on circumstances, she would occasionally get in touch with people and bestow something to them - just like in cases such as Ushiwakamaru and the Kyouhachi-ryuu.
Things that she bestow include knowledge, technology, secret techniques and esoterica... but not limited to those.
Once displeased, she will probably end up sending them to hell - quite literally.
For a daitengu on the level of Soujoubou of Mt. Kurama, opening the gates of hell is not much trouble.

She has no grasp on the finer details of the livelihood of the human species.

That being said, when she feels like it, she sometimes grants the wishes of those small beings and even fosters individuals who conceal dormant talents, such as Ushiwakamaru.
Although she does not quite understand people, she "does not hate" them.
In addition, she also "does not hate" animals and insects to the same extent.

She loves banquets.
Her pet saying is "kah, ka, ka"(2)

Supposedly, the Kyouhachi-ryuu are the eight schools of combat techniques that Kiichi taught to her eight best pupils, which in turn became the origins for all forms of kenjutsu in Saigoku. In addition, one among those best pupils was Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Ushiwakamaru).

NOBLE PHANTASM

Liu Tao San Lue・Demon Lord's Pompous Feather Fan
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Fortress
Range: 1～50
Maximum Targets: 500 people
A feather fan is a fan produced out of the feathers of a falcon or eagle.
It was often used as a tool to command military forces but, on the other hand, it also appears in legends and paintings as a tool concealing vast supernatural power--- a Noble Phantasm employed by tengu and xianren.

The so called "tengu's feather fan".
What Assassin, Kiichi Hougen employs as her Noble Phantasm is also one of those feather fans (hauchiwa).

Its destructive power can be described as simply tremendous.
Rather than Kiichi Hougen's dispositions as an onmyouji or strategist, this is a Noble Phantasm that strongly embodies her disposition as the Kurama Tengu, aka. daitengu Soujoubou of Mt. Kurama. The winds released together with the True Name are already on the levels of storms, natural disasters that can split mountains and shake the earth.


(1) an ancient denomination for Japan's westernmost territories, mostly forgotten in modern times. Its exact boundaries differ among the many sources, but most tend to include all lands between Kyushu and Kansai.

(2)or something like that. Basically, a weird sort of laughter that is characteristic of the tengu.

Amor (Caren)

Amor (Caren)

A "god of love" from Roman mythology.
A Pseudo-Servant that has the young girl Caren Ortensia as the vessel. As a result of the Authority of the God Amor being a great match to Caren's personality, she was reborn in the figure of the miraculous perfect fusion divine spirit Caren-chan (or so she says).

Upon the incineration of the anthropic principle, this human sacrifice in the form of a young girl was chosen as a Servant from the anthropic principle. Although her behavior is eccentric, the basis for it all is a "devotion towards the world".

Frankly speaking, the personality of the young girl called Caren is "dry, cool and cynical".
While her true nature is that of a young girl, she will never speak any sweet words.
A devil that is almost like a holy woman.
Or maybe, a holy woman that is almost like a devil.
Bitter, resigned, merciless, a harlot with a wicked tongue.
On top of that, she is a holy woman endowed with the heart of a "pure young girl".
She possesses a strong conviction and faith, truly believing that her life is to be dedicated to the Lord and that she is meant to offer her services the Lord in Heavens and the people that He loves.

When such an young girl was put in charge of the post of the God Amor, what ran through her whole body was not a repulsion towards "a deity that does not belong to her creed", but a sense of duty that was much like a lightning strike.
Even if it is from a different religious sect, the post of a "evangelist of love" is something wonderful.
"Wouldn't I simply be answering to the Lord's love by performing this duty to my utmost?"---
"Of course that unilaterally amending the fate of others makes me excited!"---
Just as she was burning up in this manner, Caren renamed herself as Caren C. Ortensia and stood up in order to make Chaldea's Valentine's Day into something good.

Her spiritual core is composed by Eros (the God of Love from Greek mythology) and Amor (the God of Love from Roman mythology).

Despite introducing herself as Amor while in her angel form, upon reaching Second Ascension (which is actually her default condition), she stops claiming to be Amor and completely rejects (finds fault) in Eros. And yet, she still disguises herself as the angel of love Cupid, which is often described as the symbol of these two deities.

This is all because Caren's own deep piety defines "love" as "uncompensated love"(1). Amor aside, this is a fundamental rejection of Eros (sexual love).

There are four different variations of love in Greek philosophy: sexual love, neighbourly love, familial love and the uncompensated love towards others.
The uncompensated love that she knows... the "God's love (Agape)... does not comprise sexual love, which is regarded as vulgar form of love.

Consequentially, although Caren is a Pseudo-Servant of the "God of Love" known as Amor, her roots are those of the evangelist of an even greater love that rejects both Amor and Eros.
The antinomy of this queerish idiosyncrasy as a Servant can be said to be very typical of Caren, who possesses sadistic tastes despite having a predisposition to masochism.

Rather than the Caren from "Fate/Hollow ataraxia", she is closer to the one seen in "Fate/Tiger Colosseum".
Whenever she is attending to her Church duties as a supervisor, Caren remains taciturn young girl that never speaks of "her opinion, her convenience". But in cases like this one, when she is not bound to her "post as a sister", she behaves like the mastermind of an incident - speaking, working and plotting quite a lot.
(Although we're calling her a mastermind, she does not causes incidents out of wickedness in her heart, but rather is simply doing things that should bring good results to people).

...that being said, putting all that aside, she has a truly bothersome personality in which both sadism and masochism coexist. She loves to see people suffer and also loves how her own body suffers. Because of that, even as she plans a good livelihood for people, she single-mindedly prepares hard tortures for the sake of its achievement.

She approves of money collection, but that is because money "rules over people" and is a "symbol of authority".
God was wished upon so people would have something to love and rule over them.
For Caren, who became one with the Lord's will by means of the limits of prayers (or so she says), accumulating money is a joy in itself.

Although the Church teaches that "one must not amass wealth in the land", Caren does not think that "money = wealth", nor does she have any attachments to the collected cash.
She simply gets excited in seeing it accumulate and does not particularly think of "using money to buy something I like" or "enjoying luxuries with this money" at all. Instead, it seems that she even feel that "maybe I should just burn it after I done with it".

◆

In order to exorcise demons, she devoted her body to a great variety of people・animals, always wishing for their happiness. Still, it seems that there is only one person for whom she held a simple, human-like love... whom she wished happiness to for her own sake. Even now, she still holds on to the memories and wishes of that love in the bottom of her heart.

"No matter what figure I might take, I remain a sister that serves the Lord. Still, currently I am also performing the job of the God Amor.
Isn't that a change of religious sect, you ask?
Rest assured. The love of the Lord is surely infinite.♡"

Item Construction: A
She is a professional in regards to tools that affect the heart - the "arrow of love" for example.
She produces a lot of wonderful items that make the human heart function even better - such as giving a small push on the back of someone fainthearted.

Independent Action: A
For an "evangelist of love" such as Caren C. Ortensia, the Master is not the only one that she must serve.
Given both the Lord's will and the duty to deliver love to many people, she is not bound to the Master's circumstances. Freedom.

Predisposition for Spiritual Medium Affliction: EX
A physical constitution that causes the evil influences in the surroundings to take a hold of her body, regardless of her own will. It reproduces demons as phenomena and, depending on circumstances, causes them to incarnate.
It becomes easy for her to be afflicted by bad statuses such as poison, curse and burn. Also, Caren's own attack power increases while she is afflicted by such bad statuses.
From a masochist, she turn into a fearsome sadist. Still, it is not something that she can intentionally produce.

Divine Core of a Goddess: B
Originally, this would be the "Divinity" of Amor, but it became a Divine Core of a Goddess due to the strong convictions of the young girl that is his vessel.
For this young girl, the only one who has true "divinity" is the Great Father.

Faith of Steel: A
Caren's version of the Craft Essence "Training of Steel".
This albino girl, who was originally supposed to die soon after she was born, grew while defying people's expectations.
"I am alive"--- she believes that fact itself is a miracle and a proof that the "Lord's love" exists.
She has acquired resistances to fear, charm and Buster attacks as a passive skill.

Holy Shroud of Valentinus: A
Eros (sexual love).
Caren originally made habitual use of the "Holy Shroud of Magdala", but she is currently employing a "holy shroud of lovers".
It seems that she named it Valentinus in order to match with Chaldea's Valentine's Day.

Golden Arrow: A
Philia (neighbourly love).
An angel's arrow that fills the hearts of pierced humans with love. Compulsorily.
"Love is always sudden, right?"

Prana Burst (Love): A
Storge (familial love). Also known as God Caren.
A super buff mustered for the sake of a beloved, someone who ought to be protected, a unique existence. Somewhat amazing.

NOBLE PHANTASM

The Greatest Hits, "Calling Agape" - Universal, Uncompensated, Infinite Love
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1～99
Maximum Targets: Unknown
A Noble Phantasm that wraps herself into a shell of prayers and ascends・advents as a brand-new, more universal spokesman of "love". Ascension.
She becomes not Amor, but the "heavenly love" that originated it and then shines over the world with uncompensated, infinite love in a divine punishment-type of attack.
No matter how you look at it, this is an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, but she insists in calling it an Anti-Unit to the bitter end.
The "love" that Caren speaks of is the God's love that loves all of humanity unconditionally and without compensation. In other words, the Agape.

In "Tiger Colosseum", Caren once used a morning star "whose weight was proportional to the size of the love of the owner". Supposedly, since Caren loves all of humanity, the hammer's weight equals the weight of Earth. This Noble Phantasm is a FGO variation of it.

Also, it is the "beam of love" that is infinite, while the uncompensated part denotes Caren's feelings of "giving it free of charge".



(1) I refrain from calling this "free love", least it get confused with an entirely different concept

Galatea

Galatea

A character from the story of King Pygmalion, one of the Greek myths.

Pygmalion was the king of Cyprus Island and a sculptor. Despite remaining single due becoming disillusioned with real women, he once carved his "ideal woman" on a white ivory. Falling deeply in love with this sculpture that he himself had created, Pygmalion presented it with clothes and jewels. Even began talking to, embracing and kissing it as if a lover.
He wished from the bottom of his heart that the sculpture would become a living woman.
Upon seeing that (or maybe receiving his prayers), the goddess Aphrodite accepted Pygmalion's prayers and bestowed life upon the sculpture.
Supposedly, after that sculpture turned into a human, she became Pygmalion's wife and even bore him a child---

○Likes
King Pygmalion
People who loves inorganic substances
Carving, fine arts

○Dislikes
Earthquakes (for they are the archenemies of sculptures)
Dust
People who handle objects roughly

Without a doubt, she was born due to King Pygmalion's love for dolls.
A love so strong that would even lead a god to grant his wish, possibly being no different from madness.
Having been born from the King's overly strong love (madness) and spent her entire life with Pygmalion, it is only natural that Galatea herself would eventually that love (madness).

Consequentially, Servant Galatea is summoned as a Berserker.

"I was born from King Pygmalion's love, and exist to convey that love. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you too can find true love..."

The one who gave life to the sculpture called Galatea and turned it into a human was the Goddess Aphrodite.
Now, where did the "life" bestowed here came from?

...actually, what lies at her roots is "Aphrodite herself".
Of course, not the main body of the deity, but merely a small fraction that was detached and made independent, so it could act as the core of her component materials.
Still, a deity is a deity.
If anyone possessing eyes on the level of a god were to look closely, it would become clear to them that the basis for the being called Galatea is hopelessly Aphrodite.
The power that she employs in battle is also originated from Aphrodite's divinity, but since Galatea herself is not self-aware that she belongs to Aphrodite's genealogy, she perceives this as "Lady Aphrodite continues to bestow me with her divine protection even now".
Galatea believes that Aphrodite is a wonderful deity of love that even now bestow her with divine protection, a goddess that she is greatly indebted to.

It is uncertain why Aphrodite - who lives for the sake of extravagant love - did such a thing, but...
Aphrodite is regarded to have a dual nature - the aggressive Pandemos that governs over death and the likes; and the Urania that governs over pure love. It has been conjectured that the latter aspect might probably have felt something about the "love" of King Pygmalion.

Due possessing the disposition of a sculpture, she is relatively heavier than a human.
As the person herself is in fact mindful about it, she refuses to step on a bathroom scale.

Pygmalion's Love: EX
A skill that denotes the fact that she was born while receiving the love of Pygmalion, King of Cyprus Island.
As her fundamental raison d'être, this love has genially taken root within her heart and will never be forgotten.
In addition, this skill is also involved with the use of the techniques obtained during the happy days that she shared with King Pygmalion - such as housework and the carving skills that she learned from the King.

Sculpture Maiden: A
A skill that denotes the fact that she is a being born from a sculpture produced out of carved ivory.
Her spiritual body as a Servant also possesses the disposition of inorganic substances.
This is because the mystery components of the anecdote engraved in human history are originated from the fact that "she was a sculpture".
In other words, she is fundamentally in a condition of conceptual overlap, in which she "is both a person and a sculpture".
Even if her body is damaged, it is possible to restore it to what it was before simply by putting her back together. During combat, she can also become more solid than your average Servant by steeling herself.
Supposedly, the proportion of "person" to "sculpture" is controlled by her will.
It is possible to become both 100% human and 100% sculpture.

NOBLE PHANTASM

Pygmalion Chisel Out - The King's Chisel that Carves an Ideal
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Materiel
Range: 1～30
Maximum Targets: -
The embodiment of the divine skill with a chisel wielded by King Pygmalion, an extraordinary sculptor.
As both his wife and a being born from that chisel, Servant Galatea possesses it as a Noble Phantasm.

To begin with, what he carved out of ivory was a maiden of such shape and quality that it seemed like she was actually alive.
A divine skill with a chisel that produces sculptures with a workmanship beyond human understanding - capable of making anyone who sees it believe it's actually alive; of causing even the very person who carved it to fall in love; and leading a deity to think it would be fine to bestow life to it.
Aphrodite's blessings have been infused in this Noble Phantasm, so things carved out with it are given life and begin to move around - almost like a reproduction of Pygmalion's legend.

A carved bird will spread its wings to the sky. A snake will extend its tongue and crawl. A rose will blossom amidst its thorns. Just like Galatea, these will all be "both sculptures and lifeforms" (in regards to their colours and material smoothness).
However, they cannot live forever and will turn back into mere exquisite sculptures once Galatea cuts off their supply of magical energy.
Also, no matter how exquisite the carving, it cannot produces lifeforms on the level of "humans".

Galatea herself believes this to be caused by "my lack of love towards the object". Conversely, it also results into her respect for Pygmalion increasing.
"King Pygmalion is truly incredible!"

Miss Crane

Miss Crane

"Let me tailor some clothes to you.
However, just promise me one thing.
By no means look upon my figure as I work"

Poh. Poh. Whooh. (Spin a thread)
Tok. Tok. Shaah. (Weave a loom)
Let us then tailor a lovely attire with the perfected fabric.
Maybe an evening dress of the latest fashion? Or even gentlemanly three-piece suit?
You can also leave things avant-garde to me.
No matter what sort of clothes, I shall make them as you wish.
After all, this is my repayment.
A repayment of kindness, to recompense you.

Polite, kind and hard-working. And, above all, someone who possesses a sense of obligation that is way too strong. She is that sort of character.
She becomes deeply impressed by even the most trivial favour and tries her utmost to recompense it. Or rather, she simply cannot stand not returning that favour.
The greatest repayment that she can do is to "make clothes".
She performs everything herself, from spinning threads to tailoring, and her skill can be described as truly god-level.

What she likes is "idols".
If there is a live performance occurring on the east, she will participate in high spirits. If there is a handshake event in the west, she will come rushing while carrying a present.
Should her favorite wear a costume that she tailored, she may even be deported back to the Throne due to overwhelming feelings of gratitude and reverence. So be careful!

In addition, she is the type that does not clean her own room.
Although she neatly tidy up the "places where others pass by", the bedroom and storage room that are only for herself end up in truly terrible conditions.
They have the atmosphere of a bird's nest that just exploded, with used clothes, notes about design, fashion magazines from many nations, empty bottles of high-class alcohol (she is quite the heavy drinker) scattered about... this sort of cluttered room is not something you should peek into, okay?

There is a type of narrative technique called doubutsu houontan(1).
Stories whose plot involves birds and animals that have been saved by humans bringing about befitting fortunes in order to recompense that favour.
In Japan, the "Tsuru no Ongaeshi" is particularly famous.
Miss Crane is a being shaped while having the crane from said "Tsuru no Ongaeshi" as her core image.
Devoting herself from the bottom of her heart to her benefactor, she works to weave a loom made out of the feathers extracted from her own body. Should you see her figure as she works, she will turn back into a crane and depart.
The only difference from the folklore lies in the fact she can pull off everything from weaving up a fabric to tailoring clothes. This is clearly a characteristic that belongs only to "her" who has manifested here and now.

After materializing in this era due to certain circumstances, she has been wandering around all over the world until now. While traveling, she met with and was saved by many people (there were even some Servants among them). She remembers all those debts of gratitude, and has solemnly pledged in her heart to "repay them someday, without fail".
The piece of bread that was given to her, on that day.
The warm futon that she was allowed to sleep in, on that day.
The front premium seat that was yielded to her, on that day.
She has not forgotten even a single one of them.

Let's return the favour.
Let's sincerely recompense them.
Indeed, to "you" too.

...I had grown tired of everything, and my magical energy had also dried up.
"It's no good. This is as far as I go."
Still, my fate is to "come across" a helping hand exactly when I'm in a predicament.
Suddenly, a soft voice called out to me.
When I looked up, there was a gentleman with lovely features. He seemed kind but, at the same time, had a somewhat soft, easygoing and even sloppy aura.
Yet, for some reason... he also seemed to be working awfully hard for something. At any rate, he was a curious gentleman.
It is very unusual for me to be perplexed on how to interact with someone in our first meeting. While I was at loss, he gently took me into his care.

◆

---Chaldea, was its name.
A place where a very difficult, important work was being done.
I ended up residing in one of its lodgings, a chamber called "Lostroom".
Apparently, it was a place nobody gets close to, nor tries to peek into.
Oh, that skylight... it reminded me of my lodging in Paris.
I decided to rest my feathers here for a while.
Still, still, my new benefactor. One day for sure, please let me return this favour.
Even if you don't need a dress tailored, I shall devote all my efforts and magecraft in order to grant your "wish".
...why do you laugh, in a such a troubled manner?
Truly, you're a strange person.

◆

Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
He has been lost. He disappeared. Why? Why again?
He won't come back. It is impossible for him to come back.
Still, at least. At least, at least. Let this reach him.

Even if the "Throne" has forever forgotten you.
I won't forget.
Everyone at Chaldea, probably feel the same.
So... I shall present a "proof" for you, who was once here.

Something to be lost, to someone who was lost.
Something brilliant, to someone who is far away.

The supreme costume, weaved and tailored while pouring her soul into it.
This Noble Phantasm manifests in the present era the ideal clothes, the final goal that all tailor craftsmen and fashion designers pursue, even if just for a while.
Its degree of perfection is not something that human intellect can understand, boasting a beauty and comfort to wear akin to the "Tennyou's feathery robes" that appear in the Tennyou legends from all over Japan. It is quite literally, flawless.

The power possessed by this costume is exceedingly simple: "giving hope to whoever wears it".
It really is just that.
Hope, hope and even more hope.
If there is hope in their hearts, then people can move forward.
They can surmount any hardships and horrors... this costume bestows sufficient basis for them to believe in that, which is felt through their skin.

The one who lost her way into the idol-supremacist Singularity was, in a sense, the "movie version" of A-chan(1).
Compared to her normal condition, she is a little bit more emotional and energetic. Also, the cost for drawing her is higher.

A greedy Singer Song Foreigner of musical composition・lyrics writing, singing, musical performance and battle performance.

If you further trace back her origins, the original model of "Mysterious Heroine X (Alter)" comes from a reality TV show that won a reasonable amount of popularity in the Universe world.
There were the "1st Season, Academy Volume" (in which she partnered with Mysterious Heroine X) and the "2nd Season, Villain Volume" (in which she aspired to revive the Dark Rounds while implicitly obeying the Villains Alliance).

The "movie version" was a special episode that occurred between them.
In which she had to work hard in order to become the #1 Idol Servant of the Universe due to unexpected circumstances, but...?

Well... you see... as expected, something like a moonwalk robot that attacks by turning the Milky Way into cymbal is simply too much of an inflation.

While her easygoing attitude and verbal expressions haven't changed much when compared to her Berserker, once a villain-self, her emotions have been lightly untied, becoming capable of smiling spontaneously and even telling jokes herself.
The feelings of wanting to entertain and make people happy were brought to the surface.
On the other hand, she unintentionally ends up showing the weaknesses and irritations that she had been trying to not expose to others.
The fluctuations of the heart that were nothing but hindrances when brandishing a sword.
She was surprised to find out that emotions like those also existed within her, and that musical compositions and lyrics writing might be enjoyable once you got the gist of them...
...she started to become aware of such things.
That if it is possible to influence people through songs and music, without relying on the fear and violence of a villain, then it might be fine to try and become more honest with herself.

Morgan le Fay

Morgan

The Queen that dominates the Lostbelt・Fairy Nation Britain.
She established an absolute monarchy in the Lostbelt Britain and enforced a tyrannical rule for 2,000 years, tormenting the fairies.
A fairy of the highest order, and a genius magus that obtained the Spear of the Beyond, Rhongomynyad as a magecraft.

In the Pan Human History, she was a fairy child - a scion of the British Isles - conceived by Igraine, the daughter of Tintagel. Later, she and Artoria would be treated as sisters as a formality (Morgan's mother, Igraine, married with King Uther).(1)

"Artoria is nothing but a "king of the people", manufactured by the schemes of humans.
I am surely the "true king" that inherited the mystery of the British Isles." Aware of this fact, Morgan would eventually come to hate her father King Uther, her younger sister Artoria and all the humans who did not obey her. This became the main cause for the ruin of the British Isles.

In the Pan Human History, she gave birth to several children, many who became Knights of the Round Table.
Gawain, Gaheris, Gareth and Agrarian were the children of Morgan with the King Orkney. Mordred was a homunculus created by employing Artoria's blood and semen, for the sake of defeating her.

A cruel queen that believes only in her own power.
It is not like she doesn't believe in people, but she expects nothing out of them.
Regards the "lawful domination of the British Isles" as foremost.

She hates humans, hates fairies, hates the weak, hates the ugly, hates equality and hates peace. From the perspective of the masses, her personality is like the very "personification of evil".

Still, although described as "hate", that does mean she sees them "unnecessary", but merely "things that are incompatible with her".
Morgan views justice as the "condition of being under control", while evil is the "condition where those who disturb my control exist".
As such, Morgan's personal "likes・dislikes" are unrelated to to her "good・evil" as a ruler.
Even if it is something that she hates, she will fairly accept and pardon anything that is necessary for domination. The extremeness・absoluteness of those standards is almost like that of a heartless machine.

Be as it may, Morgan has a heart as well.
She just no longer can strongly experience things such as joy, sadness, hatred, indignation, desire and love.
After a long time of single-mindedly safeguarding Britain, Morgan's heart has grown completely cold.

There is just one passion that is still lit in her chest---
The wish that her past self continued to crave for.
Even now, it is only the purpose of "dominating Britain" that continues to stimulate her.

...even though, during a long journey, she came to realize the fact that this is not human-like childhood dream, but something derived from being born that way.

◆

Supposedly, the Morgan from Pan Human History was lewd, cruel and self-centered. Her personality was truly the model of a wicked woman. But this Morgan turned into a talented woman after having those components beaten and quieten down during a long journey.
Something like a femme fatale that grew frustrated, or maybe repented of her ways.
The pleasures between man and woman, the excitement of abusing others, the delight of having her own way; according to Morgan, those are all "boring. I've already lost interest in such things." (her own words).
However, since those traits have merely quieten down, it might be possible that her past cruelty, bad taste can relapse if she were to face a situation・dilemma that can drive her into a corner.

She was described as the "good fairy of the lake" in ancient English fairy history, but was turned into a wicked woman that opposed King Arthur after the Arthurian Legends were compiled.
At the same time, she has also been equated with the fairy Viviane, which bestowed a holy sword to King Arthur and protected him after death.

Charisma of Craving: B
The power of a ruler who - after many failures, many disappointments and much despair - chose the path of dominate the masses by means of fear.

Protection of the Lake: C

NOBLE PHANTASM

Roadless Camelot - The Already Unreachable Utopia (2)
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-Fortress
Range: 10～99
Maximum Targets: 100 people
Camelot - the castle of white walls that Morgan spent her lifetime wishing to enter, but was never able to.
The very rules of the world... in other words, the "anthropic principle" itself decided to not make Morgan the king of Britain.
That unfulfilled wish changed into grief, and finally turned into hatred.
A twisted desire to dominate and sense of entitlement.
A burning nostalgia and rage against humans.
And also, the rancor towards Artoria - who sat in the throne of Camelot despite being the same existence as her - ended up turning Morgan into the "one who leads the Round Table to ruin".
This is such way of being expressed as a magecraft.
Morgan's love and hate that attempts to traverse and destroy in an instant a road whose end simply cannot be reached.

The one Morgan must defeat is not King Arthur.
She returned from the beyond and became a witch that curses the world in order overthrow the very fate that once attempted to destroy the fairies of Britain for the sake of humans - the "anthropic principle" itself.



(1) seems like that whole thing of Morgan being Uther's legitimate daughter was retconned.

(2) given Galahad's Noble Phantasm, I considered translating this as "Lordless Camelot". But now I am beginning to fear that "Lord Camelot" is the wrong one....

Fairy Knight Gawain

Barghest

One of the Knights of the Round Table from the Fairy Nation Britain.
A fairy knight labelled(1) with the Saint Graph of Gawain, a Knight of the Round Table from Pan Human History.
Despite belonging to the "Fang Clan" that are endowed with tenacious bodies, her outward appearance is that of a humanoid Saint Graph.
The most feared fairy knight in the Fairy Nation.
Also called "Gawain, the philanderer", "Gawain, the glutton".

Her name as a fairy is Barghest.
In Pan Human History, this is the name of a fairy that appears in the north of England.
It materializes in the form of a chained dog, possessing burning eyes and horns.
In the city, it is known as a fairy that notifies a death, supposedly appearing whenever someone dies.
Also, when a person possessing an important role in the city dies, it parades across town while bringing along many subordinates (dogs).

Outside the city, it transforms from a fairy that announces death to one that bestows death, appearing frequently in the plateaus.
It devours the travellers it comes across.
Believed to be a variation of the black dog, a fairy folklore handed down all over England.

○Personality
Diplomatic and passive.
She declares her will in a straightforward manner, without concealing her own feelings, and also confirms the feelings of the other party.
A knight that boldly throws out her chest without feeling ashamed of anyone, but her actions (especially military actions) themselves are those of a prudent who moves after properly assessing the situation.
She draws her sword only after assessing the circumstances of both parties (not just one side's convenience) and deciding "very well, let's exterminate the weaker one".
Due the manner how she mercilessly tramples down the weak once she stands in the battlefield, she has been portrayed as a ruthless knight.

Despite her stiff personality, since she was raised as a noble (receiving a scrupulous education), she fundamentally has a gentle way of thinking and there is even enough flexibility to appreciate jokes.
However, clever jokes and parlance that appease the general mood are not her strong points, so she never takes the initiative to crack jokes herself.

Maybe due to regarding the laws of the jungle as absolute, she tends to let her guard down towards those she sense as "strong", growing intimate and eventually becoming lovers. She is actually lonely person with a propensity to fall in love.
In the past, she had liaisons with lovers of several races (making no distinction between man and woman, fairy or human). But those relationships never lasted more than a month, and she soon found herself single again.
This resulted in rumours of her being a philandering fairy, but Fairy Knight Tristan sarcastically says that "I just grow bored easily; it's not like I have a propensity to fall in love like you".

Born from a fairy lineage, in human terms she would be something akin to the daughter of an earl.
Although she behaves stout-heartedly・cold-heartedly as a fairy knight, her true nature is kind and easily moved to tears.

"No matter what kind of parallel universe, the law of the jungle is an absolute rule. The weak have no choice but to obey the strong."

Once assailed by this impulse, she will grow insane unless swiftly dealt with, becoming a Berserker that indiscriminately repeats massacres.

Black Dog Galatine - Horn of the Sun that Preys Upon Others
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1～100
Maximum Targets: 100 people
An enormous attack that employs her blazing horn - "Fairy Sword Galatine".
The horn in Barghest's forehead is an antenna that controls the growth of her own Saint Graph, and extracting it will cause her reason to die and make the remaining instinct the driving force of her body.
Barghest will undergo "atavism" upon extracting her horn, expanding a fairy body clad in dark fire and bringing down Galatine on the enemy camp.
The fire that burns up from the ground looks like a fang that crunched and preyed upon the enemy camp.



(1) the Japanese word used here has no direct equivalent in English (pretty sure it is an original term they came up with). Given the context, I believe this to be the best possible translation.

(2) this is not a mistake; the original Japanese text was also written like that.

Fairy Knight Tristan

Baobhan Sith

One of the Knights of the Round Table from the Fairy Nation Britain.
A fairy knight labelled with the Saint Graph of Tristan, a Knight of the Round Table from Pan Human History.
The "daughter" of Queen Morgan that dominates Lostbelt Britain, she receives a favourable treatment as her successor.
In the Lostbelt Britain where there is no need magecraft, she was one of the two fairies who were raised as a witch.

Her name as a fairy is Baobhan Sith.
A female fairy transmitted in Scotland.
With a name that literally means "fairy woman", it supposedly appears during the night to absorb the life of humans, leading them to die. It enjoys blood and is weak against sunlight.

Many fairies bring both "benefits" and "harms", but Baobhan Sith is a malignant fairy that brings nothing but harm.
Its appearance is just like that of a beautiful human female, but only the legs it hides beneath a long skirt are that of a fairy - with its heels being like "deer hooves".

○Personality
Diplomatic and passive.
She possesses the temperament of a ruler that impudently speaks her own desires and pushes around the surrounding people in order to make them come true.
An ephemeral hedonist who cares only for feeling good in the present time.
As typical of fairies, she prefers fun things. However, since the only "fun" thing she knows is the cries of suffering from the weak, she consequentially tends heavily towards deeds that trample and trifle with the weak - regardless of them being humans or fairies.
(Due to never being loved by anyone, and also receiving praise from her "mother" Morgan "only when oppressing the weak", she ended up learning that those were fun things)

A witch child that combined the image of an admirable young girl that endeavours to be loved by her mother, with the haughtiness of a princess that sees the kingdom that will one day be hers as nothing but a toy.
She seriously feel sick upon seeing benevolence and whitewashing, thoroughly disparaging them. When asked for a reason, her answer is "Isn't it obvious!? Because it makes me bored!"

Baobhan Sith lacked interest in most things, and souring the general mood was only hobby she truly had. However, the stories told by Beryl about the "civilization from Pan Human History" made her eyes sparkle, so imitating the Pan Human History ended up becoming a personal obsession of her.

"Wouldn't it be fun to have a tournament of military movements in a historical castle?
Of course, everyone other than the first place would be massacred as penalty.☆"

In the course of that, she became possessed by the charm of the "shoes (heels)" from Pan Human History, turning into a shoes collector.
If it is for the sake of shoes, she is willing to put on genuine efforts and even dreams about, in the future, producing shoes more stylish than any craftsman from Pan Human History.
...in the bedroom of such Baobhan Sith (princess), a collection of fairies' bare feet that have been cut off at the heels is enshrined like a treasure.
