"Tea is fine. Thank you. For both the company and the drink."
The girl takes a moment to enjoy the offered cup.
"The tea tastes great. Hey... You're just like me. That's pretty cool. Already I can tell your creator was better than mine. At least he gave you a name to work with. And... all of his inventions too. We could've used someone like you with your music. You're seaworthy too. Hm? Him?"
The girl pauses, as if sorting through all her emotions relating to the man. "He is... was... is... my big brother. My best friend. My..." The girl blushed.
"My boyfriend and lover. He was my everything." Then the girl's face became crestfallen. "And now he's..." She shook off the emotion to keep her smile.
"He was someone very important to me. There is not enough words in all languages across all history that can properly convey how I feel about him."

"I see, then what was your creator like and what purpose that he created you in the first place was your emotions was calculated part of his plans or that was shall we say a happy little accident. Anyway do you want any refills or maybe I can make some Turkish delight though there are bit past my time it became quite popular, where I am came from. and Let's enjoy these new found emotions that we gain, since my creator always say to me you haven't truly lived if you haven't felt something"
"Hm... where to even begin with him? He was... egotistic. Narcissistic. Full of himself. Brilliant. Ingenious. Clever. He was the greatest inventor of all Greece at the time and he made sure people knew it. I would even say the greatest inventor of all time, but that is just my bias for my creator talking. Oh thank you."
The girl helped herself to the delight. She took to how sweet it was. Her mood improved.
"To be honest... I wasn't supposed to have emotions. I wasn't even supposed to think. I was just an automata designed to help him and his son fly. Something... happened in the middle of it. It was hot. Hotter than I could describe. Unbearable even. And then I can think. That's all. My first moments of "Life" didn't end well, but I certainly felt something by the end of it."
Trust Increased.

The girl blinks while rubbing her eyes. "I... am at a loss. I am sorry, Emperor Augustus. It is just that I have been blinded by your radiance. It reminds me of St. Elmo's Fire. And my own father."
The girl struggles a chuckle while picking a cup from the offered assortment, giving a wry smile to Al-Jazari nearby.
"Where to start answering...? I was born on... an island. I believe it was Crete. Should be in what Humanity calls the Classical Era, if my memory serves. Everything can be a haze when you try to recall it all at once."
The girl adopts a soft smile. "My happiness moments are when I watch my third Captain doing his usual routine. There was just something about him I couldn't help but adore. Maybe because of how earnest he was at it. I just... miss him."
After a deep sigh, the girl's smile taints with melancholy... before remembering the Emperor's other question.
Trust Increased +.

The Girl with Regret looks upon the Rider. She may not recognize this face but it's familiar presence nonetheless
No matter what regret or sorrow one may have
They will recognize the concept that has been with them at birth 「War」
Author notes
Me picking the worse option available Also if you confuse about the question it essentially what war god do you have? Or something like that
A body. A body she recognizes.
A big brother she failed to protect from the domain of the Gods' rays.
A best friend whose tragic death she was responsible for.
A lover who could do nothing but wait for Death to take them.
"C-captain?"
The girl's voice wavers, distrusting her eyes. It can't be them, she rationalized. It can't be them.
It can't be them. It has to be the work of Ares. Her father warned her of him and yet still...
Tears welled in her eyes.
She wants to be alone.
She has been alone ever since they left her behind.

Thus in lies the Crux of this thread. It does not account for Servant Sheets with origins that do not adhere to the source material 1:1. Examples would be a recent summoned servant in this thread, Unsinkable Sam and two Servant Contest winners who have been stuck to my mind since I've read them: Laika and Abel.
Still, this has become a learning experience for me. Don't you agree?

The wax wings used by Daedalus and Icarus and/or the solar chariot tragically flown by Phaeton? I feel like the actual answer could very well be a lot more complex than that but yeah.
"Perhaps meddling with the Saint Graphs of my brothers has led to unforeseen consequences... Is this Daídalos' Genius? Daídalos' Love? Hm.
You are before a god, girl. Do not worry, tea and some of your time will be sufficient offerings for now. Your guessing game seems quite interesting."
Daedalides Theos
"Now, who and what are you... Chaldea is no stranger to the myriad of forms the actions of Daedalus are able to manifest as Servants.
Answer me, wings of Íkaros. Are you something else that was bound or defined by that genius, like myself, or did you gain your mind independently during that dreadful event?
I warn you, I won't allow you to meet the boy you dropped or my other siblings until I'm sure you'll be beneficial do their development."

After a moment, the girl's eyes showed light once again. A melancholic light, but one that reflected her life. A weak smile greeted her fellow creation.
"Hello. My brother. It is good to see you. Our creator has led quite the interesting life, hasn't he?"
The girl gazed upon the vapor of her tea.
"So did we. How have you been? Me? I... have been on quite the journey. I think you would approve of it. I grew up from the little "girl" who was born from our creator's workbench. Ever since I drowned, I saw... so many beautiful sights. In the Seas and in the depths. I even found Love if you could believe it. I made friends and spent so much time enjoying Life. Even if... it is tainted by the memory of my second Captain."
The Wings of Íkaros sighed.
"Íkaros. Jason. Nemo. In that order. I miss them so much... But... you're right. It's... for the best if I don't see him again. Humans, I've learned may never see each other again in their lives. Through one reason or another. So... I will bring their dreams with me."
A weak smile, flourishing with resolve.
"To sail the Sea of Stars."
The girl drinks her tea to soothe her nerves.
"You have asked me for who I am. What I am. My name. My dear brother, our creator has neglected to give a name to us at our conception. So... I decided to adopt one for myself. In fact, I went by many names over the course of my journeys."
"The nameless Wings of Íkaros. Pallas. The Argo. The Nautilus."
Brave Explorers of the Sea of Stars
Serra, pinetree
Congratulations on our guessers! Astra has been a long time coming. Really, Theia and Astra has been a long time coming. They and several others have been lingering in my head for a long while ever since my Patroclus sheet. So... A round of applause for pinetree and Serra!
It took a loooot out of me to plan two long posts for two different threads. If you know what I'm talking about, you know.
"From the Seas to the Skies to the Stars, shall we go undaunted."

@thepious makes me think of Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne. So... are you a contemporary of his, maybe? Someone associated with the Holy Roman Empire?
Well, I'm back after a week of being horribly sick and I cannot be bothered to go back and read everything I missed. Anyway, I'm gonna come out and guess straight. Are you King Louis VII and King Conrad III? Both fought in the Siege of Damascus during the Crusades together.
