Personal Skills:
Resolute Devotion B:
A skill representing one’s feelings towards a love one, where the person won’t even flinch at the thought of self-sacrifice. Applies plus-modifiers to combat-based abilities.
Lancer’s love for her Lord was great, enough so that she ended up killing herself clutching his decapitated head, once he died.
Child of Snow A+:
A skill denoting one’s body being made of snow. Allows for transfiguration of one’s body.
Similar to the Consummated Shape skill, magic energy from the land can be used to restore one’s form. Even if a limb or head is cut off, they can be easily put back together. The skill can even be used a pseudo-shapeshifting ability to slightly change one’s appearance.
The greatest ability of this skill is the power to create weapons out of snow and frost. The weapons created accordingly are just as strong and durable as normal, non-magical weapons. Depending on the weapon, the magic energy necessary varies. The naginata takes practically nothing, and the sword and bow use very little. But other weapons like a shield or hammer take much more.
While she never used something like the naginata in life, it wouldn’t be surprising if she whipped on out and wielded it with the skill of a thousand warriors. If a weapon is broken, the fragments will return to her body.
On the downside, the user of the skill is extremely weak to fire and heat. Any injuries to these methods cannot be healed or reformed. It is at the level where a moderately strong modern mage with knowledge of fire magecraft can defeat the Servant. These injuries though can be healed by coming in contact with natural snow and absorbing that.
Noble Phantasm:
Snow Woman Warrior
Yuki-Onna Bugeisha
B
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
A noble phantasm representing Lancer’s status as a great example of the Onna Bugeisha, female martial artist. It is a composite noble phantasm that grants her all the traits associated with the Onna Bugeisha, beauty, bravery and weapon mastery.
Lancer’s physical beauty is at the rank that it can be considered bewitching. Through the power of the Noble Phantasm, when one looks at Lancer, they see their own ideal image of feminine beauty. It is not only limited to romantic ideals either. An elderly couple who want children will see the perfect daughter, an abandoned orphan will see a comforting motherly figure. Naturally, it is not effective on those with Mad Enhancement or Mental Resistance.
Lancer is also given a form of the Bravery skill, negating mental interference. She is also given absolute mastery of the weapons commonly associated as feminine weapons, such as the naginata or bow. Thanks to this, she is able to use the naginata at a master’s level despite having never used one in life, hence her being summoned as Lancer.
As a downside, due to the image of the frail woman, Lancer’s strength and endurance are lowered.
Lore:
A fusion-type servant who absorbed the abilities of the Yuki-Onna phantom.
Tomoe Gozen was a famous female samurai who participated in the Genpei War. She was renowned for her beauty and strength, unmatched in combat. Tomoe served Minamoto no Yoshinaka as both lover and servant, but that came to an end when Minamoto no Yoritomo, aided by Minamoto no Yoshitsune, attacked and defeated most of Yoshinaka’s troops. Nearing the end of the line, Yoshinaka commanded Tomoe to run away as it would shame him to die with a woman. Distraught, Tomoe obeyed, taking down one last opponent before fleeing the field. It is said that once Yoshinaka died, she fought back to reclaim his decapitated head, took it with her, and drowned herself in the sea while holding it.
Yuki-onna is a famed yokai that appears in many stories across Japan. The tales of her origin, story, and powers are varied, but the general concept is of a woman made of snow. At sometimes she is an ephemeral spirit who disappears suddenly, sometimes a violent demon who freezes innocent people, or even a yokai disguised as a normal girl and living a normal life before revealing her true identity.
Summoned as Lancer, Tomoe Gozen’s feminine side as a onna bushigeisha is made more prominent, in comparison to her more militaristic Saber variant. Her beauty, love for her lord, and occasional helplessness become the core of her character. When fused with the yuki-onna, her femininity increases even further as well as gaining snow powers and corresponding weaknesses.
Personality:
“I hate it, this fate I’ve been cursed with.”
“I hate this face which is praised as beautiful.”
“I hate these breasts, which men fawn over.”
“I hate these arms which cannot lift much.”
“I hate being female. I hate being looked down upon. I hate being weak.”
“If I was male, I could’ve fought by his side till the very end.”
A cool beauty who is merciless in battle. Brave and adventurous, but kind and occasionally clumsy, the very image of a female warrior. Yet she hates her gender. She loves her Lord dearly and forever dreaded being told to leave his side because she was a girl. Her wish is to be male.
Creator Remarks: I made her FC "Ice Emiya" since I imagined she'd be Emiya-esque, but she ended being Snow Enkidu.
