Name: Arturia
Race: Human/Servant
Age: Late 20s - Early 30s
Height: 5’1
Weight: Around 93 lbs
Appearance:

Physical Attributes
Strength: Fantastic
Agility: Incredible
Constitution: Incredible
Magic Resistance - High: Lived during a time of much stronger magi and was apprenticed to Merlin, one of the most powerful magi to exist. The resistance she has built up from exposure to magic on his level means that no modern magi in practice can hurt Arturia.
Other Abilities:
Healing: Heals her body and armor at the cost of magical energy
Magical Energy Burst: Transfers magical energy into one’s weapon and body, and by releasing the magical energy instantaneously, it increases one’s ability. Arturia made use of these abilities in life and in the Holy Grail War to fight Fantastic level warriors such as Heracles in direct combat, as well as fantastic beasts like dragons. Usage requires a powerful weapon with divine protection, otherwise the weapon will be destroyed by the infusion of such a strong surge of magical energy. Due to Saber’s current lower level of magical energy, she cannot readily use this ability without reserve due to focusing what she has on her healing abilities. It may be possible in small bursts but she cannot continuously use it in an actual fight.
Instinct: The ability to always “feel” the best course of actions for oneself during combat, close to precognition levels.
Riding: Natural skill for riding things. Arturia can ride most vehicles with above average skill, even those of which she has never seen before in her time such as a modern motorcycle. She cannot ride holy or demonic beasts however.
Invisible Air: Layers of magical wind that are wrapped around her sword, changing the refraction of light to make her weapon invisible. This allows her to more easily conceal her true identity from others in addition to confusing her enemies by denying them knowledge of the shape and size of her weapon as she fights, it also increases the damage done by her weapon. The wind can be released from the blade to create a vacuum state which can be used as a one shot projectile attack. The initial release of the wind also can circle around her with enough strength to shake large trees around her, even with so little released that her blade still appears invisible.
Blessing of the Lady of the Lake:
Saber is unable to be hindered by bodies of water. She an walk over water without even being aware of it, however she can still choose to submerge herself in water if she wishes. Outside influences such as pushes or pulls can forcibly submerge her however.
Equipment:
Knight Armor: As a Servant, Arturia’s armor is formed from her magical energy. The armor offers substantial protection, however it costs magical energy to form. The benefits of this are that she can summon her armor instantly on her body and she can repair it instantly after it is damaged, however repairing the armor costs her much more magical energy than healing her own body. She also has to will the armor away on her own, it will not disappear on its own if she falls unconscious, however it can be removed from her body like regular armor.
Excalibur: The Sword of Promised Victory given to King Arthur by Vivian, The Lady of the Lake, it is one of the most famous weapons in mythology, said to be the planet’s weapon of defense, an assembly of its light, and the crystallization of the wishes, hopes, and dreams of warriors on the battlefield. The weapon displays its true power only when the planet as a whole is threatened, however its power outside of this circumstance is still very high. It transforms the possessors magical energy into “light”, increases its kinetic energy by converging and accelerating it, and allows for output comparable to sorcery on the level of divine spirits. To those who observe, it looks like a beam of light but its target point is the tip. It is the “ultimate slash” that cuts through everything in the “area” that the light goes through. Its enormous power heats around the tip, and as a result it is interpreted as a wave of light that mows across the earth. You could call it a directed energy weapon.
Weaknesses: While Arturia’s natural abilities are impressive, many of the powers she uses to supplant them are based on magical energy, so if she runs low then she will be unable to use those abilities effectively and if she runs dangerously low then she runs the risk of becoming incapacitated until she recovers enough. Her healing and repairing her armor combined cost her about 1/6th of her total magical energy reserve during the multiple fights she took part in on her first night in the 5th Holy Grail War. Using Excalibur is especially draining, and under normal circumstances, she does not have enough magical energy to use it twice in a row without recharge, and doing so would kill her. Additionally those who possess certain weapons, such as Gae Dearg, which dispels magical energy have advantages against her armor and her Invisible Air. She is also extremely attached to Emiya Shirou, which while a source of great emotional strength, can also be used against her as he would generally be her priority in most if not all situations. She also is a sore loser and highly competitive.
Likes: Well structured meals, Shirou, sports and other competitive physical activities, small animals, lions, plushies, swordsmanship, seeing other people smile and be happy
Dislikes:Poorly structured meals, Shirou’s tendency to put himself in danger, losing in competitive activities, dressing up too much, battles where people die, seeing other people suffer in misery.
Bio: The legendary King Arthur Pendragon, unknown to most was actually a woman whose real name was Arturia. Living in adopted poverty in the dark ages, she wished to become strong and help all those who were suffering around her. She became the king of England and disguised herself as a man named Arthur. She adopted a mind state of suppressing all human emotion in order to be the perfect tool for her country and people. After 10 years of success, a rebellion by her illegitimate son left her mortally wounded and her kingdom in ruins. Unable to cope with this result, she made a contract to enter the Holy Grail War and use it to change the past. After failing in the 4th Holy Grail War, she entered the 5th as the Servant of Emiya Shirou. Over the course of the war she grew closer to him, eventually falling in love with him. She also was consumed by the corruption of the Grail midway into the conflict, but was later freed. On the final day of the Holy Grail War, she was offered the chance to obtain the Holy Grail if she killed Shirou, but was unable to do so, and resolved to accept the outcome of her life for what it was, be proud of her efforts, and act with her human emotions, putting her loved ones over intangible ideals and cold efficient logic. After a final battle, the Holy Grail was destroyed, however due to having a physical body from the previous Grail corruption, she was incarnated into the present world. She will return to her original time when she dies in her current existence, facing death in her real body, however until then she continues to live with Shirou and help his growth as a human being.
