Lesser Grail: Irisviel was designed to hold the spirits of Servants upon their defeat. If she is close enough, she can choose to intercept their return to the Throne and store them inside herslef instead. However, the more she contains the less functional she becomes. At five Servants, her body shut down and she will be unable to maintain functionality as a human, and at six her body disintegrates completely and becomes the Lesser Grail.
Body of a Homunculus: Irisviel is a homunculus, this provides her body with numerous advantages as compared to a normal human being. Her body allows her to live without breathing, eating, or sleeping provided she has enough prana.
Alchemy: Irisviel has a superior understanding of the Einzbern arts of transmutation and manipulation of the noble metals. She can use this skill to mold her metal wires into any form, whether it be for combat or elsewise, it is only limited by the extent of her imagination.
Origin:
“Can you hear me, woman?”
"..."
Irisviel opened her eyes, breathing faintly. Her vision was blurred, but she still recognized the voice of her nemesis.
“Kotomine… Kirei. Like I thought, you’re the one…”
“The victor of the Heaven's Feel is about to be decided. Perhaps I will be the one to complete the ancient wish of your Einzbern house. You still have an attitude and are so uncooperative. Are you so displeased with me?”
“Of course… There’s only one person I will entrust the Holy Grail to… and that would never be you, Executor.”
Although she found it difficult even to speak, her voice was filled with hatred.
“I don’t understand. You’re nothing but a doll that carries the Holy Grail. The completion of the ceremony should be your only concern, rather than who may win the war. Why are you so bent on certain Masters in your current condition?”
“Yes, how could you possibly understand?... You’re the kind of person who doesn’t even have a wish to bestow upon the Holy Grail.”
“Kotomine Kirei… you’re an empty man who doesn’t even understand the meaning of battle. You’ll never win against that man… Be prepared; my knight, my husband will surely destroy you…”
“… Why are you talking about me?”
“Hah, scared? Fine, I’ll tell you… Emiya Kiritsugu has seen through you. He is alarmed by you and therefore regards you as his greatest enemy … Kiritsugu will fall upon you in a way more cruel and merciless than anyone else. Be prepared…”.
“Thank you, woman. That is a blessing for me. The man Emiya Kiritsugu is truly just as I had imagined.”
Upon hearing this, Irisviel laughed.
“… You’re such a foolish man. You’re saying you understand Emiya Kiritsugu? … Hmph, don’t make me laugh. You aren’t even up to his heel in worth.”
“– What did you say?”
“True… Emiya Kiritsugu can see through you, but you’ll never see through him… Kotomine Kirei, you don’t have any of the things that man has in his soul.”
Irisviel felt a strong hand grab her neck.
“… I admit it. True, I’m an empty man. I have nothing. But what’s the difference between Kiritsugu and me? Between me and that man who only devoted himself to senseless war – a man who never got anything out of it but only repeated his slaughter?! He departed so much from common sense and he got absolutely nothing. What is he, if not a lost soul!?! Homunculus, answer me if you can. Why does Emiya Kiritsugu seek the Holy Grail? What is the wish that man bestowed upon the all-powerful wish-granting vessel!?!”
Irisviel felt the tight grip loosen from her throat, apparently to allow her to respond, as she fell to the floor, gasping for air, she didn't show even a modicum of fear. The only thing that the look she gave Kirei was one of utmost derision.
“Alright, I’ll tell you – Emiya Kiritsugu’s lasting hope is to save humanity. It is to end all wars and bloodshed and achieve eternal world peace.”
After a few seconds, she heard Kirei burst out in laughter.
“– What was that?”
“You can’t understand it. That is the difference between you and him. You believe in nothing while he does.”
“… Woman, what are you to Emiya Kiritsugu?”
“I gave birth to his child as his wife. I’ve looked into his heart and shared his worries for the past nine years… unlike you, who has never seen him.”
“Irisviel von Einzbern, were you always a good wife in those nine years? Did you win Emiya Kiritsugu’s love?”
“… Why do you care?”
“I don’t understand the bond between you two – you took pride in having Emiya Kiritsugu as your husband and trust him as if you’re a real couple. However, if Emiya Kiritsugu is a man who seeks the Holy Grail, you should have been just a tool with which to fulfill his wish. He has no reason to give you something as unnecessary as love.”
“… I won’t forgive you if you laugh at him for being stupid.”
“… I have no parents, and I’m not a product of love. Therefore, I can’t understand what a ‘good wife’ is. Even so… the love he gave me is my entire world. No one can humiliate that.”
“Then, Irisviel, you’re a perfect wife.”
“But I can’t understand Emiya Kiritsugu because of that. Since he loves you as a wife, then why… why would he want eternal world peace? Why would he sacrifice his loved one for such a pointless aspiration?”
“… Such an odd question. For you, a man who has admitted that he has no reason for existence… You’re mocking others and saying their aspirations are meaningless?”
“Any sensible adult would have laughed at him. Combat is instinctive of humanity. Eliminating it is no different from eliminating humans. What else could be more pointless? This so-called aspiration of Emiya Kiritsugu’s – it shouldn’t have been called an aspiration to begin with, but the dream of a child!”
“… That is why he could only rely on a miracle…”
Irisviel tried her best to keep her cool and continued speaking.
“He lost everything for the aspiration he sought… He always suffered through his punishments for wanting to save those that could not be saved, and everything around him was robbed… I am also someone taken away from him. He has been forced to discard his loved ones many times…”
“You’re saying it’s not just limited to this once – but that this is the way of existence for this man?”
“Yes. Kiritsugu is far too gentle. He doesn’t hold back on his love even though he knows he will lose those around him sooner or later…”
"I understand."
Irisviel felt the hand return to her throat, just before her neck was snapped.
