    Any prominent Greek character is fine. I'm already tired of Caenis. Like he was a fucking nobody that only mentioned in Ovid's Metamorphosis but in here acting like some big fucking name.

    T-M has been scraping the bottom of the barrel with many obscured characters for no reasons when more well-known characters are still waiting for their turn

    No, she'd be a Pseudo-Servant like Waver/Zhuge, Rin/Ishtar + Rin/Eresh, Taiga/Jaguar Man, Illya/Ainu girl I can't remember name, and any others I'm forgetting about. Demi-Servants aren't supposed to happen, like a human and a vampire having a kid, as per Waver's first interlude.

    I still wonder why they even bothered giving her the attila name when she would‘ve worked just as fine without it.

    Making Caenis into a brown, whiteheaded delinquent lady was the best possible outcome they could've made, I dunno 'bout you.

    Point is, if I looked that good I'd be a cocky shit, too.

    Still on the fence about Caenis. Her story could be pretty controversial no matter which version you used (she's either a rape victim or a slut who spread her legs for a wish from Poseidon; and either way she became a cocky jerk who got literally pummeled to death despite being invulnerable), and it doesn't help with her ridiculous stripperiffic design. Like, that's almost Ushiwakamaru levels of bad design.

    The reasons I'm hesitant to call her a pseudo servant is her name having that = in it, implicitly putting Scathach and Skadi on equal ground. And she can summon Gae Bolgs.

    Demi-servants may not be something supposed to exist but we do have three examples regardless (though the LE ones could be handwaved as lol Mooncell).

    Demi-Servants are test tube babies not Polymerization summons

    Who besides Mashu is called a Demi-Servant?

    Oh right, that explains why Rin was able to do the Cu stuff in LE. I don't remember Rani being described in the same fashion though unless this was something that was done on the website or cd drama.

    I'm pretty sure the website called them demi-servants yeah. Rani was Lu Bu mode in the last episode.

    Still sounds like a different case than Skadi's unless there was something about making Scathach and Skadi do some sort of fusion thing. My understanding is that one was summoned through the other as Waver described in his first interlude, not there were separate Scathach and Skadi that were fused into one being like what happened with Mashu.

    It's a Pseudo-Servant case since Scathach's not using Skadi's powers, but Skadi's using Scathach's body, and AFAIK there's no Scathach in there at all unlike with Zhuge/Waver or Rasputin/Kirei.

    I guess so. I just go back to the Gae Bolgs in her animations. Genuine question, could Muramasa use Projection? I suppose Ishtar does have jewels.
