I don't see her being "Sakura-obsessed" as bad, I see it as a fundamental and important part of her character.

So, yeah, we do have a serious problem here....

the word obsessed is a key warning some thing is wrong. concerned is fine, obsession is not

Well, I'm not sure that you could actually call Rider "obsessed" with Sakura. It's not like she spends every waking moment thinking about her, or is incapable of having feelings that don't relate to her. She just cares very deeply for her, and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her.

I'd say Rider is more like a very protective big sister, really. She cares a lot for Sakura and will do whatever she must to protect her, but she's not "obsessed" in the sense you claim. In particular, in HA she doesn't just follow Sakura around all the time or anything, she does have her own interests.

i won't be writing her as such, point is we need something for rider beyond sakura, we have something for saber and archer already.

Well, perhaps, but splitting her off from Sakura won't achieve that. She won't magically forget all about her....

The problem is that your idea doesn't work either. I actually do not think it is at all better than what I've got, not least because it heavily limits Sakura's involvement in the story.

Perhaps, but I really do not like your idea, at least as you're selling it right now. I do not like the idea of Rider having little connection to Sakura, and I don't like the idea of Sakura not being a master.

i think the master servant think is a relationship crutch, I mean seriously it makes their relationship less textbook, still like i said fine, give her rider back, it'll be kinda dull imo but whatever.

I understand that, the problem is that it's a Grail War, if you don't have a servant you cannot do very much.

If you can find a satisfactory solution to that that also addresses my other issues (specifically, Rider's feelings for Sakura not just being ignored or eliminated, as well as the practical issues with finding someone else as a master that isn't going to just look contrived), I would be OK with it, but right now you're not coming up with any useful suggestions.

Yeah, OK.

I guess we can resolve this later, when we have a clearer idea of the plot.
