3 points to: Pukjinskwes. I have trouble putting it into words, but something about this sheet just works for me. Also, I can appreciate the effort that has to go in when dealing with a figure where you have to work with multiple stories about them (plus, nice touch with taking the mistranslation and spinning something out of it). Also, I can't unhear Taokaka's voice when reading this sheet.
2 points to: Handsome Fellow/Hobbythacco. Not a figure I'd ever even heard the slightest whisper about in the past, but this sure is an interesting one to hear about. Plus, the Riyo-themed comedy really works for me. It was tough figuring out whether to give this one my gold or silver ranking.
1 point to: Maria Lionza. The sheet is interesting, but it doesn't quite hook me as much as the above two did.
And an honourable mention to La Malinche. Among the other entries that didn't get points from me, this sheet is the one that I most liked.
Hear me now, O heart of the World:
Light of Man, Dawn of Life
Reaching Antiquity, Seizing the Future
I call upon the stories of heroes long forgotten
With this hand I will make thee whole.
Hear me now, God of Prophecy,
I take up thy Mantle:
He's just putting the bone of his sword into other people until it explodes and lets out parts of him inside them.

Congrats to Zikari8 for winning this month's contest!
Another hearty well-done for gyrowins for getting second place!
Both were amazing Servants and I'm looking forward to the next contest.
I hope you've got a good idea in store for us Zikari8!
And of course...THIRD PLACE!? I GOT THIRD PLACE ON MY FIRST EVER CONTEST ENTRY!?
Honestly, I didn't even think I'd get fifth place with the amount of amazing Sheets you guys seem to produce.
But wow...thank you very much. I mean it.
Next time, I'll aim for even higher! I'll go beyond!
Pronouns - She/Her
Winner of the Legendary Jack-Off
TRANS LIVES MATTER
I think this is the first time the winner was somebody I hadn't voted for at all. Still, congrats zikari! I was torn a lot on how to vote this time around, since all the entries were super good.
Huh, that was unexpected. That said, however, zikari8's Handsome Fellow was extremely good in both idea and writing so congrats to the win.
Although I didn't submit on time this month, hope I can participate again in February.
On another note, happy New Year, everybody.
The Act of dozing off in the afternoon is a luxury indeed. Coffee would be nice, though.
First place!? Is this okay? Is it really okay for Armpit Santa to win anything? Can't say I'm not jumping in joy though.
Lots of great sheets this time around with an interesting prompt. Sorry I didn't get my vote in; I stupidly thought I had a few more hours.
Either way, great big thanks to everyone for all the wonderful sheets both this month and for the whole year. I hope we'll have another great year with more great sheets to come.
Happy New Years!

Reason: Typos
I know I'm super late for this, but I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me and congratulate Zikari8 on their victory!

Hear me now, God of Prophecy,
I take up thy Mantle:
Since this month marks the 15th anniversary of Stay Night, I think it’d be good to return to our roots with a more simple and flexible prompt. Something that allows for creativity and variety while paying tribute to one of the iconic trademarks that has come to define the Fate franchise as a whole. This way everyone can truly bring their best to the table and celebrate this memorable occasion.
And so, to commemorate these 15 years of Fate, this month’s prompt will be ‘Female’. All servants must be female; no male, gender neutral, or non-binary servants. However, in the spirit of Fate, the servant does not have to originally be female. Gender-bends and other similar shenanigans are allowed. As long as the end result is a female servant, everything is fair game!
I hope this will allow everyone to bring out their best of the best. Go wild and have fun!
Deadline for submissions is 22nd of February

"Greetings, Master. Servant Archer, St. Lucia has answered your call in the name of the Lord. I promise as long as I'm by your side, the path of victory will shine clearly for you."
Armament: A white and gold longbow etched with prayers in angelic script. The two halves of the bow can also be broken apart and wielded as shortswords in close combat.
Strength- D
Agility- C+
Endurance- B+
Mana- C
Luck- C
NP- A+
Personality
A quiet and reserved girl. Archer enjoys quiet hobbies she can easily do by herself like sketching pictures and reading. Because her father died at a young age and the rest of her experience with men came from the boorish Pagan suitors who tried to marry her for her family's wealth, she's naturally wary around men. Even if Archer meets a genuinely kind and respectful man, she'll be at first regard him with quiet suspicion, wondering if his kindness carries some hidden strings attached. But this suspicion will gradually soften as Archer spends more time with the man, slowly opening up and letting down her guard around him.
Archer's shy demeanour belies an incredibly strong willpower and faith. She truly and sincerely believes that the Lord God is sovereign and all phenomenon and events are dictated by His hand. Fortune and disaster, wealth and poverty, health and sickness, everything is given by God and can be taken away just as easily. This belief gives Archer an equanimity in the face of suffering that's almost incomprehensible to those around her. She can endure any burden and torment for the sake of her ideals, all the while bearing a resolute smile that doesn't admit any regret or sadness.
As the patron sight of the blind, Archer deeply appreciates the gift of sight. In her free time, when not fighting or praying, Archer enjoys spending her time simply walking around the environment where she was summoned and marvelling at the beauty of God's creation. She cherishes every sight as unique and irreplacable. A single snowflake falling from the sky, the smile on a child's face or a solitary flower blooming through cracks in the pavement.
Despite the injustice of her death Archer has no regrets over the course of her life and hence harbors no personal need for the Holy Grail. She'll only accept summoning to answer the prayer of a Master whose plight reminds Archer of her own past self, like an innocent young girl suffering persecution from her family.
Likes: prayers and contemplation, the light of God, beautiful scenery
Dislikes: lascivious men, the shadows of ignorance
Hobby: sightseeing
Natural Enemy: Paschasius
Class Skills:
Independent Action- B
The ability to sustain oneself in existence without a supply of magical energy from one's Master. At this rank, Archer can linger in the world for two days in the absence of an active contract. She can also survive for a short time after suffering extensive damage to her spiritual core. A fiercely independent girl who rebuffed multiple attempts to persuade her to abandon her Christian faith, Archer has a high rank in this Skill.
Magic Resistance- B
Confers protection against magical effects. At this rank, spells with a chant below three verses are cancelled. Even if targeted by the likes of High Thaumaturgy or Greater Rituals, it is difficult for the Servant to be affected. Archer's high resistance stems from her life of unyielding piety and devotion. For that reason, it is ineffective in defending against Magecraft originating from her own religion like Church Sacraments.
Personal Skills:
Mana Burst (Light)- B
As a Servant, Archer can wield her namesake light as a weapon. She mainly imbues it into her arrows, making them explode like a flashbang grenade upon piercing the target. For fast travel Archer can also create wing-shaped jets of light from her back that propel her forward, resembling an angel in flight. Being the physical emanation of her overwhelming faith, the light produced by this Skill burns hotter and inflicts doubled damage against existences Archer deems anathema to her faith, such as demons, vampires and other unholy creatures.
Pure Eyes Of Truth- EX
After Archer gouged out her own eyes to escape the advances of a lascivious Pagan suitor, legend says that God repaid her sacrifice by granting her a new set of eyes of pure light, far more beautiful than any on earth. In return for a loss of ordinary sight, Archer's newfound eyes can see the "truth" of things on a conceptual level.
Illusions, feints, deceptions and anything else aimed at obscuring or distorting the truth will be completely nullified within Archer's gaze. This serves as an equivalent rank in the Instinct and Discernment Of The Poor Personal Skills. Her eyes also let Archer perceive phenomena that lack any material existence, such as Servants in spiritual form, the flow of Mana in Bounded Fields and when a Noble Phantasm is about to be activated.
Divinity- C
Having consecrated her flesh to God, Archer obtains a modest level of divinity. It has been further boosted by her veneration as a saint after death.
To Stand Firm- C+
When Archer refused to renounce her Christian faith, the enraged governor Paschasius sentenced her to be defiled in a brothel. As his guards arrived to take her away, Archer knelt down and began praying to God for a miracle to protect her chastity. God heeded her request, sending divine intervention on behalf of the persecuted maiden. No matter how hard the guards tried to push her, Archer's body refused to budge a single step. Even when they hooked entire plows of oxen to her, Archer remained rooted firmly to the spot.
Reproducing this anecdote, Archer can plant herself into the ground and gain an enormous boost to her defensive capabilities as long as she doesn't willingly move from the spot. As an additional effect, Archer's impregnable body imparts a fascination effect on nearby enemies, making them direct their attacks toward her. This lets her serve as an excellent escort in defensive battles, drawing enemy aggression away from her allies and on to herself.
Noble Phantasm
Oculus Sanctis
Oh Lord, Bathe This World In Thine Light
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army/Anti-Evil
The maximal release of Archer's Pure Eyes of Truth. Upon invoking this Noble Phantasm with the mantra "God, I offer these eyes to you once more", Archer's eyes undergo a metamorphosis from Pure Eyes, capable of only affecting the user, to Mystic Eyes that can interfere directly with the outside world.
Applying her ability to reveal the "truth" behind something, Archer reveals the truth of God's light to the world, designating a sliver of space along her line of sight where God's light can pervade unmediated by the Sephirot. Since mortal beings aren't able to receive the "truth" of God in such a pure form, even this partial release is incredibly destructive, appearing as a crackling stream of pure white light fired from Archer's eyes that scorches and burns away everything in its path.
Much like her Mana Burst (Light) Skill, this Noble Phantasm deals greater damage to unholy and Evil-aligned enemies, who have their very existence seared away by the radiance of God. Conversely, ownership of Skills like Divinity, Saint and Protection Of The Faith can severely mitigate the damage received.
Reflecting Archer's veneration as a patron saint of curing eye diseases, anyone (whether enemy or ally) who witnesses this Noble Phantasm's activation will be purged of any optic ailments they suffered and have their eyes restored to perfect health. After using this Noble Phantasm, Archer's eyes will be burnt out and become unusable for the next 24 hours, sealing both it and her Pure Eyes Of Truth Personal Skill. This naturally makes Archer incredibly vulnerable, requiring she find a safe place to rest until her sight recovers.
First submission of the new contest, whoot whoot! The theme this month is a very broad one, so it wasn't hard to come up with a fitting entry. I also could've cheated and genderbent any of the other male Servants in my WIP file, but I wanted to stay true to my artistic vision and only resort to a genderbend if it genuinely fit my imagination of the character. Definitely looking forward to seeing what other cool ideas people cook up!
