Hi, nice to meet you. Congrats on your first post. I must admit I am a little confused by this sheet, because for example the noble phantasm doesn't have a description. But congratulations again.

Top-level creator's note

Guess who Territory-Infringed his way to Del's European fine arts corner, while Conceptual Adaptation (Formatting) his way through WF's style at the same time?
Well, this one's not exactly a painter nor composer, but I guess she checks out. She also has a... very WF vibe to her, especially after I read Nannerl. As if something's telling me "this sounds like someone she'd write about". Maybe it's the bittersweet wholesomeness? Anyway, that explains the format.

The formatting took a while. Not as complicated as formatting my Pretenders, but still. I'll probably go back to my usual format for my next sheet... or will I? I do like the aesthetic...

Well, that's it from me. Del, WF, this one's for you.

Alter-Ego of the Sorrowful Stage
-- The Swan Princess --

"Hiii~! I'm so glad to finally meet you! I'm the idol that will touch everyone's hearts with my performances! Coming at you live, it's-"
...
"No, that's not it either... too gloomy, huh? I figured. That's just the type of shows I've been performing my entire life, after all. I should've known that I wouldn't be able to escape that curse so easily. Oh well, pleased to make your acquaintance. I am Anna Pavlova, an Alter-Ego, though you can call me Odette. That seems to be the role I'm supposed to play this time around, and though I dislike it, I don't intend on giving a half-baked performance. Now then, this prelude has gone on long enough. Please find yourself the most comfortable seat in the house, and enjoy the show."

"Huh, this is a peculiar experience. I never would have expected a humble ballerina like me to make it to the Throne of Heroes. As an Alter-Ego, no less. I don't even have any immediate connection to Tchaikovsky's play, but the world somehow deemed it fit to give me this role... No, it's not the world, is it? It's the curse of the audience. Well, not that I mind. I've spent my entire life dancing for their sake, so one more performance shouldn't be a problem. Still, Odette, huh... I wonder if we're actually more similar than we thought..."

Class Skills

Composite Saint Graph (EX)

A Class Skill denoting an existence similar to a High Servant. A byproduct of Innocent Monster, Alter-Ego's Saint Graph is comprised of two individuals; the ballerina Anna Pavlova, and the princess Odette from Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. The split is roughly 70-30 due to the latter's status as a mere phantom spirit, where the body and dominant personality belongs to the ballerina, but the two can seemingly communicate telepathically, and the princess' character may occasionally reveal itself.

"As a 20th-century ballerina with no fighting experience nor world-changing feat whatsoever, it's quite unlikely for me to be summoned independently, making Alter-Ego my most 'stable' Class. It's not my only one, though. Hypothetically speaking, if I give the princess more control over my body, I might be able to manifest as a Lover. On the other hand, any attempt to summon me without the princess would most likely result in me being a Faker, as Innocent Monster forcibly binds me to her character regardless. I'd rather not be summoned as anything other than Alter-Ego if I can help it, though. I don't have anything against the princess, but I don't want her taking credit for my performances, and the Alter-Ego Class just happened to be the most beneficial compromise we could come up with."

Object of Desire (B-)

A Skill connected to the feelings of love and obsession which this Servant inspires in someone else. It functions as a passive charm skill on the level of a mental attack. So much as being in the same place as her can incite feelings of affection, obsession, protectiveness and lust. An ethereal beauty who stands atop a glimmering stage illuminated by spotlights. One who received countless applause, flowers, and praises from the masses after every performance. The love she inspires in others is less romantic in nature and more akin to admiration and longing towards a distant star that one can never reach. Odette's influence as a fairytale princess elevated this Skill by one rank higher than it should normally be. At the same time, however, this Skill can receive a temporary rank down (which stacks) whenever Alter-Ego performs an action that contradicts her audience's image of her (making an "inelegant" mistake, cracking or laughing at jokes, making bold, crude movements, performing any genre other than slow, classical ballet, etc.).

"Ah, don't worry about me. This is of no concern. I learned to bury my true self a long time ago. The sad truth about showbiz is that no one wants to see what lies backstage. They only want to see their ideal image of you. They want to see the perfect star that shines brilliantly onstage and nothing else. Anything less than that is just unacceptable, so there's really no need to pity me. Anna Pavlova exists solely as the lone star that shines brighter and more beautifully than anything else, enough to illuminate even the darkest corners of the night. That's... all there is to it."

Personal Skills

Innocent Monster (B)

The "curse of the audience" that made her manifestation as an Alter-Ego possible. Normally, it's highly unlikely for someone as recent as her to be summoned as a Servant. Even with her fame as a ballerina, such a thing should be impossible. At the same time, it's equally impossible for Odette to be summoned as anything more than a phantom spirit, a character from Pyotr Tchaikovsky's ballet. A certain miracle managed to accomplish the impossible, however.

Anna Pavlova was best known for her solo performance, The Dying Swan. While the show was initially inspired by a flock of swans she saw at a public park, as well as a poem by Lord Alfred Tennyson, it subsequently influenced modern depictions of Odette in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Its initial depiction of a swan's final moments at death's door was gradually conflated with the princess' final moments in the latter's final act. This created an unbreakable connection between the two figures, allowing them to barely surpass the threshold required to manifest as a single Servant. The two cannot be separated, an any attempt to forcibly summon one without the other will most likely result in stranger irregularities (such as Pavlova summoned as a Faker convinced that she is Odette, or Odette summoned as a Lover in Pavlova's body). Incidentally, due to this Skill, the ballerina has also manifested at a younger age, roughly in her early twenties. Rather than the peak of her fame as a performer, her connection to Odette has seemingly summoned her at the peak of her beauty, when her audience believes her to be the closest in appearance to a hypothetical real-life Odette.

"I did watch Swan Lake a few times back when I first enrolled at the academy. It was... a masterpiece. There's no other way to describe it. The screenplay, the choreography, the accompanying music... everything about it was flawless. It was the ideal that every ballerina in the country- no, the world- aspired to be at the time. It really inspired me, even if I never did feature in that show in my entire life. Still, a real-life Odette, huh... Is that how they saw me? I'm honored, but I think they're mistaken..."

Pas de Deux (A)

One of Alter-Ego's specialties as a ballerina. A ballet-term meaning a duet performed by two dancers, typically male and female. In a single suite, the two performers move perfectly as one, synchronizing each step to their partner's movements and creating a magnificent spectacle for the audience. In Alter-Ego's case, this Skill represents her ability to understand another individual's "rhythm" and synchronize her movements accordingly after a brief period of observation. This is achieved by temporarily weakening her sense of self and following the target's lead, creating an effect visually similar to Instinct and Eye of the Mind. Through this Skill, her audiences may be treated to a sight where an enemy aggressively tries to attack her, only for her to turn it into a dance as she gracefully dodges every blow, as if knowing exactly where said enemy would strike next... in theory, at least.

In truth, there is a clear limitation to what this Skill can do. While it does allow her to "predict" an enemy's movement to a certain extent, it doesn't come with the necessary stats required to dodge or block the attack. In videogame terms, it's like knowing exactly what the enemy will do next turn, but not necessarily having enough agility to dodge or MP to cast a defense spell. It's technically possible for her to pull off a perfect "show" without a scratch, but it's much easier said than done. It's also possible for her to increase this Skill's range, affecting more than one target in exchange for accuracy, as she would be forced to constantly juggle her focus between the different targets.

"One, two, step and turn. One, two, step and turn. One, two, step, turn, and... bow. There. You see, every creature possesses a certain 'rhythm', whether they know it or not. Once you learn to grasp it, you grow one step closer to understanding them. My most famous show may be a solo performance, but ballet- and maybe showbiz as a whole- is not a one-man show. That's why it's important to surrender yourself to their whims from time to time. It's important for the sake of friendship and understanding, yes!"
...
"To what extent should you surrender, you ask? ...Ahaha, I don't think I know the answer to that, unfortunately..."

Weak Constitution (D)

The curse of frail health, which persistently followed Alter-Ego from her life to her manifestation as a Servant. Throughout her life, it was said that she had a "frail, sickly appearance", which only supported her image as a gentle, otherworldly beauty. Unbeknownst to the general public at the time, her condition brought her much hardship in life. It was due to this appearance that she was first rejected by the Imperial Ballet Academy at the age of nine. Even after she was accepted one year later, this weakness continued to plague her for the rest of her life, arguably limiting her potential as her instructors forbade her from performing more taxing shows (or even more energetic movements in general) out of concern for her health. Unlike a certain Shinsengumi swordsman, she does not have a specific illness that stayed for a significant portion of her life, save for a case of pneumonia which claimed her life at the age of 49. While there is no risk of a sudden status drop, it's easier for her to accumulate fatigue, wounds take slightly longer to heal, and she has a conceptual weakness against disease-based magecraft, Skills, and/or Noble Phantasms, especially those that restrict her movement, similar to a human with weak immune system.

"Back when I was diagnosed with pneumonia, there was actually one way to save me. A surgery. The success rate was high, and money was not a problem, but... I didn't want to. The doctor said that I'd never be able to dance again afterwards. That's why I refused. I spent my entire life onstage, I invoked smiles and tears in equal measure, and every night I could hear the audience's thundering applause in my dreams. Just... what would my life be like without the one thing that made me 'me'? That's why I danced. I danced as my lungs burnt up and my throat felt like it was swallowing broken glass with every breath. I danced until every last organ failed me, until I could dance no more."

Swan Lake (A)

The final act to Tchaikovsky's legendary ballet. Turned into a swan by an evil warlock and heartbroken after the prince was deceived into declaring his love towards the warlock's daughter, Odette chose to take her own life by drowning herself in a lake. The prince profusely apologized, but his actions could not be undone. Finally, the prince chose to die alongside his love and jumped into the lake, where they would stay together forever. Their pure love broke the warlock's spell, turning the princess' spirit into a human before the two ascended to heaven. At the same time, a flock of swans- fellow victims of the warlock who accompanied the princess- mourned the couple's deaths, gracing the stage with a beautiful dance before returning into humans one by one and leaving the stage, concluding the performance.

A Skill usable by temporarily increasing the princess' influence within Alter-Ego's Saint Graph, allowing feats similar to Illusionism and Mana Burst, esentially releasing mana and illusions in the form of swans. Examples include dissolving into a flock of mana-based swans to avoid damage upon being attacked, conjuring swan apparitions to surround and confuse enemies, conjuring their feathers and using their softness to minimize physical impact or hardening them to use as projectiles, and more. At her best, Odette can manifest a pair of wings using their feathers, temporarily allowing her to fly. As a downside, however, manifesting this form and all its effects for too long gradually reinvokes the curse of "drowning" on her Saint Graph, causing chest pains and difficulty breathing which could end poorly combined with her Weak Constitution. Thus, this Skill is more akin to a special power-up she can only use in short bursts.

"I still have questions on the nature of 'Odette' in my Saint Graph. I mean, is she the same Odette as the one in the play? A real individual with the same name who inspired Tchaikovsky? The people's perception on 'what the character Odette should be like if she truly exists'? It's all very vague, but one thing for sure... she regretted that part. That's what she told me. She doesn't want to sacrifice anything anymore. She wants everyone to be happy without sacrificing herself and losing those she held dear. That's her wish."

...
"Ah, it's wonderful to have such a goal in mind, huh? As for me, I don't know... There's so many things I'd like to wish for, so many new things I'd like to experience and different performances I'd like to try out, but... it just doesn't feel right. I'm nowhere as decisive nor determined as that princess. That's why I believe it's a mistake for the world to cast me in this role."

Noble Phantasm(s)

Surrender to the Gentle Call of Eternal Rest, O' Dying Swan
Le Cygne

"I see, it's time for another performance... Then take a seat and behold. I shall show you a splendor like no other. The swan shall soar just one more time before embracing the penultimate fate that awaits us all. I present to you, my masterpiece; The Dying Swan."

~ ♬ ~

Type: Anti-Heart
Rank: B
Range: 1-200
Max Targets: -

Alter-Ego's most famous performance. A four-minute ballet solo that she performed over 4000 thousand times throughout her entire life. The short performance follows the final moments of a swan as it frantically struggles and flails in vain before succumbing to death, accompanied by Camille Saint-Saëns' musical composition Le Cygne. A reminder on the inevitability of death, and the futility in resisting it. It was said that the ballerina's beauty and talent worked amazingly in conveying this message. The audiences left the theaters in tears, shaken and convinced that their lives would never be the same again afterwards.

A technique that kills the heart, the body, and finally the soul in that order, all without a drop of hostile intention. Calling it an "attack" would be a mistake, as it is closer to a harmless performance. Thus, most defensive measures would fail to trigger, simply because the world does not recognize it as an attack.

Upon its activation, targets are transported into a reality marble; a moonlit lake in the middle of a forest, where the calm waters acted as her stage, and the pale moon as her spotlight (this may be due to Odette's influence, manifesting a stage that invoked memories of her final moments as opposed to the stages that the ballerina actually performed on during her life). From there, Alter-Ego began to dance, putting the audience into a bewitched trance with her enthralling performance. This performance fills their hearts with serene, bittersweet acceptance. They become acutely aware of their demise, yet see no point in resisting it, similar to the swan who fought death in vain.

After the heart is pacified, the body comes next. Targets would feel their bodies weakening, parameters dropping, and movement slowed, akin to the simulated effects of advanced aging. Alter-Ego does not possess the ability to invoke this weakening effect. Rather, it came entirely from the targets themselves. In simple terms, their hearts had sympathized so hard with the swan's depicted condition of "dying" that it started to affect their bodies. These targets had effectively "placed their feet in the shoes of another" to the point where their minds successfully convinced their bodies that if the "swan" onstage is dying, then they too must be dying.

Lastly, the soul is extinguished at the conclusion of the performance, where if they fail to completely shake off the bewitching effect by the four-minute mark, all their organs would cease their functions, while Servants would instantly return to the Throne, all of them fully believing that they are dead, and accepting this outcome with a calm expression of bittersweet resignment on their faces.

This entire performance must be done perfectly from start to finish, without a single interruption. Things such as loud noises, heckling, or even something as small as a premature applause from the audience before the performance is concluded is treated as an "interruption", instantly cancelling this Noble Phantasm and sealing it for the next few hours. Of course, the difficult part is shaking off the trance to perform those interruptions to begin with once the performance has started. In that case, one must be able to temporarily suppress humanity, or be someone who cannot register sympathy in the first place, as the moment one perceives "beauty" from this Noble Phantasm, they would almost certainly succumb to all of its effects.

Encore: Return and Illuminate the Dazzling Stage, O' Undying Star
Le Cygne

"I see, so that's all it was... I really did overthink this entire thing, huh? The people's judgment, my public image, and so on... none of those matter now. It's nowhere as complicated as I made it out to be! I just want to keep dancing, not as the ballerina in everyone's dreams, but simply as myself! So... please feast your eyes on this renewed performance, an encore from my liberated heart. Le Cygne! I shall dance until all life leaves me!"

A different application of this Noble Phantasm, achieved by inverting the "curse of death" and applying it at Alter-Ego herself. According to one famous modern reinterpretation of the dance, the performance does not represent the inevitability of death. Rather, it shows an elderly swan stubbornly resisting the effects of illness and aging, dancing beautifully until the very end. This reinterpretation introduces bolder, more upbeat movements as the dance now runs on the theme of hope rather than despair. While it has been accepted as a creative reinterpretation by modern ballet communities, it completely went against the original's intended message, an act that would have been deemed as heresy by the older generations. To perform this dance would mean throwing away her established image, as well as her instructors' teachings of a "pure" ballet, which is why Alter-Ego would first need to learn to fully accept herself before even entertaining the thought of performing this interpretation.

Upon its activation, this Noble Phantasm "locks" all of Alter-Ego's bodily conditions in one state. Reminiscent of the swan who still strove to raise its frail wings, and the woman who still chose to dance even as her body crumbled from illness, this dance is a defiant "rebellion" against the concept of death itself. So long as she keeps dancing, she is effectively invincible; her health will not decrease and status effects will not affect her. This is far from immortality, however, as her mana cost is doubled for the duration of this dance. Combined with her Weak Constitution, it's unlikely for her to be able to keep up this dance for more than a few minutes, after which all the exhaustion and damage she should have received during that time frame would finally catch up to her, greatly weakening if not killing her outright.

A dance that focuses not on the inevitability of death, but the human capability to create something beautiful before the inevitable moment arrives. In simpler terms, while the original declares that "death awaits us all", this interpretation declares that "death awaits us all, but that doesn't mean we can't create a wonderful life worth remembering before that time comes".

Lore

Swan Lake

Prince Siegfried is celebrating his birthday with his tutor, friends and peasants. The revelries are interrupted by Siegfried's mother, the Queen, who is concerned about her son's carefree lifestyle. She tells him that he must choose a bride at the royal ball the following evening. Siegfried is upset that he cannot marry for love. His friend Benno and the tutor try to lift his troubled mood. As evening falls, Benno sees a flock of swans flying overhead and suggests they go on a hunt. Siegfried and his friends take their crossbows and set off in pursuit of the swans.

Siegfried has become separated from his friends. He arrives at the lakeside clearing, just as a flock of swans land. He aims his crossbow, but freezes when one of them transforms into a beautiful maiden, Odette. At first, she is terrified of Siegfried. When he promises not to harm her, she explains that she and her companions are victims of a spell cast by the evil owl-like sorcerer Rothbart. By day they are turned into swans and only at night, by the side of the enchanted lake- created from the tears of Odette's mother- do they return to human form. The spell can only be broken if one who has never loved before swears to love Odette forever. Rothbart suddenly appears. Siegfried threatens to kill him but Odette intercedes – if Rothbart dies before the spell is broken, it can never be undone.

As Rothbart disappears, the swan maidens fill the clearing. Siegfried breaks his crossbow, and sets about winning Odette's trust as the two fall in love. But as dawn arrives, the evil spell draws Odette and her companions back to the lake and they are turned into swans again.

Guests arrive at the palace for a costume ball. Six princesses are presented to the prince, as candidates for marriage. Rothbart arrives in disguise with his daughter, Odile, who is transformed to look like Odette. Though the princesses try to attract the prince with their dances, Siegfried has eyes only for Odile. Odette appears at the castle window and attempts to warn Siegfried, but he does not see her. He then proclaims to the court that he will marry Odile before Rothbart shows him a magical vision of Odette. Grief-stricken and realizing his mistake (he vowed only to love Odette), Siegfried hurries back to the lake.

Odette is distraught. The swan-maidens try to comfort her. Siegfried returns to the lake and makes a passionate apology. She forgives him, but his betrayal cannot be undone. Rather than remain a swan forever, Odette chooses to die. Siegfried chooses to die with her and they leap into the lake, where they will stay together forever. This breaks Rothbart's spell over the swan maidens, causing him to lose his power over them and he dies. In an apotheosis, the swan maidens, who transform to regular maidens, watch as Siegfried and Odette ascend into the Heavens together, forever united in love.

Anna Pavlova

Anna Pavlova (1881-1931) was a Russian prima ballerina of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Pavlova was born as a premature child who regularly fell ill for most of her childhood. Due to her weak constitution, her parents sent her to live with her grandmother in the countryside south of Saint Petersburg, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. It was here that Pavlova first found her passion for ballet, when her mother took her to a performance of Marius Petipa's The Sleeping Beauty. The show left quite an impression on her, and her mother took her to an audition for the renowned Imperial Ballet Academy at the age of nine. She was rejected due to her youth and her frail, sickly appearance, but she was accepted just one year later in 1891.

Young Pavlova's training years were difficult. Her severely arched feet, thin ankles, and long limbs clashed with the small, compact body favored for the ballerina of the time, not to mention how she frequently fell ill during practice and performances due to her condition. Other students frequently mocked her with nicknames such as the broom and le petite sauvage (the little savage). Even so, the girl was undeterred. She would practice extensively on her own after every lesson, claiming that "No one can arrive from being talented alone. God gives talent, work transforms talent into genius". She took lessons from many notable ballerinas and choreographers such as Christian Johansson, Nikolai Legat, and Marius Petipa himself. Finally, she graduated in 1899 at age 18, after which she entered the Imperial Ballet Corps and performed publicly in her teachers' works. Her official debut was in Pavel Gerdt's Les Dryades Prétendues (The False Dryads), where her performance drew praise from most critics at the time.

Pavlova's early years as a ballerina was a turbulent one. She was undeniably talented, yet she still lacked a certain image that would properly cement her status in the entertainment industry. Her enthusiasm occasionally led to her making mistakes, such as one time her quick, energetic movements caused her to lose her balance and fall out of the stage. She also tried to improvise her movements during a performance of Sleeping Beauty, surprising the Ballet Master and disrupting the choreography of the other performers. She also tried too hard to imitate legendary Italian ballerina Pierina Legani, to no avail. It was said that when her clumsiness led to another accident onstage, her teacher, Pavel Gerdt flew into a rage and harshly scolded her, saying "Leave acrobatics to others. It is positively more than I can bear to see the pressure such steps put on your delicate muscles and the severe arch of your foot. I beg you to never again try to imitate those who are physically stronger than you. You must realize that your daintiness and fragility are your greatest assets. You should always do the kind of dancing which brings out your own rare qualities instead of trying to win praise by mere acrobatic tricks".

After applying Gerdt's advice, Pavlova rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a favorite of old maestro Petipa. What critics considered as her greatest weaknesses- her small ankles and lithe legs- she gradually turned into an advantage as the audience fell in love with her frail, ethereal image, which perfectly suited slower, more melancholic performances.

In 1905, with the help of choreographer Michael Fokine, Pavlova created her magnum opus, The Dying Swan. Inspired by the swans she saw at a public park, a poem by Lord Tennyson, and Camille Saint-Saëns' musical number, she created a four-minute solo performance that would define her career for years to come. It was first performed in Saint Petersburg in 1905, and it soon became a symbol of a renewed era of Russian Ballet as a whole. Pavlova would perform this dance for more than 4000 times in her life, making her frail, gentle figure synonymous with the swan depicted in the performance.

Pavlova's fame only grew following her masterpiece. In 1911, she formed her own ballet company and toured the world, with a repertory consisting primarily of abridgements of Petipa's works, and specially choreographed pieces for herself. Throughout her travels, she also learned a number of "ethnic" dances which she learned from local teachers, including Mexican, Japanese, and East Indian traditional dances. She also starred in a few silent films, most famously The Dumb Girl of Portici (1916) where she played the role of Fenella, a mute girl betrayed by an aristocrat.

Anna Pavlova died in January 1931 at the age of 49, after 20 years of world tours and 32 years of her career as a ballerina. A few months prior, she was diagnosed with pneumonia, and was offered a surgery that could save her life, at the cost of never being able to dance again. Pavlova refused, saying "If I can't dance, I'd rather be dead". Thus, she spent what was left of her lifetime dancing until her body could no longer move. It was said that her final words were "Get my swan costume ready".

Description

Dislikes:
"Nothing really comes to mind now. Back then, I hated this body for all the limitations it imposed on me. How it continuously limited my potential, and how it crumbles bit by bit despite my fervent wish to keep dancing... Ah, but I suppose that's wrong. For all its weaknesses, this body also turned me into the person I am now, for better or worse, so I don't think it's right for me to hate such a thing..."

Likes:
"Um... dancing, of course. I believe art in general- be it painting, singing, poetry, or dancing- allows us to convey such profound themes that our usual tongues cannot. The fleetingness of life, the gentle inevitability of death, the human struggle to find meaning in their lives before they are claimed by the hands of mortality... I think it's wonderful how my dance could move the audience's heart like that. Oh, aside from that, I'm also fond of animals! Did you know I keep more than a dozen pets at home back then? There was a Siamese cat, a few dogs, birds, and even swans there. I took a few pictures with them, but most of them didn't make it to the press. Management and all that. Oh, let me tell you about Jack, my favorite swan. Eh? Did I really name my swan 'Jack'? Why, yes I did! He was a fine gentleman, that one. There was this one time when-"

Wish to the Grail:
"I already left my mark in the world. The Dying Swan earned worldwide acclaim, ballerinas in the present day look up to me as their perfect idol, and I still have an army of dedicated fans admiring my every performance. What else is there to wish for? If you ever happen to get your hands on one of those Grails, I think I'll just give it to Odette. I think she'd be able to put that to good use."

Bond 5

Dislikes:
"It pains me to say this, but... I hated the woman named Anna Pavlova. No, not the person standing in front of you now, but the person who stood before that brilliant stage then. The perfect prima ballerina admired and beloved by all... I don't hate my fans and teachers, mind you. They had good intentions, and they supported me with everything they had, but at some point, I feel like their perception of me had become a little... suffocating. No, it's no one's fault in the end, but... I wonder if things could have been different."

Likes:
"Dancing, of course! No, really. This time I'm not just talking about The Dying Swan, but dancing as a whole. Be it ballet, flamenco, tango, kabuki... Dancing just feels a thousand times more liberating once you've truly set yourself free from those expectations! Oh, and I think I've finally realized it now; dancing is more than a way to confer those themes I mentioned before. More importantly, they're a way to share the contents of your heart to the rest of the world! They define myself better than any word ever could, and upon realizing that there's no need for me to restrain myself anymore, you can be sure that I'll give 200% more effort in my next performance!"

Wish to the Grail:
"What else is there to wish for? A chance for me to take the stage once again, an opportunity for me to dance simply as myself rather than the perfect idol the people saw me as, this wonderful, liberating feeling that I've secretly desired for who knows how long... Each and every one of my wishes have already come true, thanks to you and everyone in Chaldea... So I'll give it to Odette. I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for her after all, so I owe her a lot. As for what she'd wish for... a happier ending to her story. A happy ending for herself, the prince, and her friends, all achievable without the need to sacrifice herself in the process. Even now, I can't say I fully understand the things she went through in that story, but I'll wish for that as a symbol of my gratitude. Her wish is my wish now."

An otherworldly, ethereal beauty. The type that everyone admires, but few dare to approach due to the impression that she gives off; a fragile, delicate flower that could crumble with the slightest touch. This impression also invokes a feeling of protectiveness from her surroundings, as if protecting a precious object that could fade away and disappear at any moment. Not counting this impression, Alter-Ego just feels highly unapproachable, not because she is unpleasant to be around, but because just standing near her feels like standing before a brilliant star who lives in a completely different world from everyone else. She speaks in a gentle, soft-spoken manner, but one just can't shake off her overwhelming "prima ballerina aura".

Very rarely, Alter-Ego may display a different side to herself. She may try to crack jokes, speak in a chattier, more casual manner, or dance in a wildly different style when no one is watching, but she tends to suppress this more energetic side of hers before long, believing it to be "disrespectful" and getting flustered whenever the topic is brought up. Anyone who sees this side of her would be left completely flabbergasted by what modern audiences would call "gap moe". She'd prefer to pretend the entire incident never happened.

In truth, Alter-Ego is someone who felt trapped by her established "image". For so long, the world saw her as a dainty, yet peerless beauty best known for slow, melancholic performances, thanks to The Dying Swan, and the teachings she received from her instructors, and her poor health. Thus, anything that goes against that image is considered "disrespectful" to the fans who supported Anna Pavlova (specifically, the gentle, perfect idol image of her), as well as the teachers who taught her to embrace that image all those years ago. As things are now, there's nothing she'd like more than to break free of that suffocating image she found herself trapped in, but she still believes that doing so is much more complicated than it seems. On one hand, she doesn't want to alienate her old fans and teachers by throwing away her old persona. On the other hand, she knows that she can only maintain that facade for so long before she breaks, potentially hurting her more than pneumonia ever could. Thus, in order to fully realize her potential, Alter-Ego must learn to accept her true self, one that differs from the prima ballerina that performed onstage during her life. Should she realize that it's okay for that part of her to exist, her potential could soar tremendously.

On another note, her Saint Graph also contains the phantom spirit Odette. It's hard to consider her personality, considering she only communicates telepathically with the ballerina. However, if the ballerina's words are anything to go by, she's best described as a (literal) princess with her head on the clouds. She's especially fond of giving (unwarranted) romantic advice like a chatty, annoying gossiper active in your head 24/7. That said, she seems to reveal a more serious side of herself in the presence of an evil that would separate two lovers apart. She especially enjoys hearing stories of couples who overcame all matter of obstacles to finally earn their happy ending. Sometimes, she also takes something of a mentor role to the ballerina, telling her that it's possible to achieve her happiness without sacrificing her fans nor her sense of self.

Camille Saint-Saëns:
"The maestro who wrote

The Carnival of Animals

Le Carnaval des Animaux

, including the piece eventually used in The Dying Swan... Ah, um, if you don't mind, would you mind providing the accompanying music in my next performance? I believe hearing it played by the hands of the original composer would provide a different experience like no other..."

Other classical musicians in general:
"Other maestros of old... It would be an honor for me to dance alongside your accompanying music. Some of these styles I am less than familiar with, so I humbly ask for your guidance in the matter."

Daniel Auber:
"I-Is that Fenella? She... sure exudes a different presence compared to how I pictured her. So that was a mistake, huh... Well, allow me to fix that! The era of silent films may have long passed, but I just can't rest easy knowing I've completely misinterpreted a character! Besides, um... getting back into acting doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Now, tell me all about yourself! By pantomime, if you must!"

Rothbart:
"I'm free from that curse now, you damned warlock. Oh? That wasn't what happened? You think I would accept your half-hearted apologies now? I should make sure that the same tragedy would never happen again. That no other love would end in despair by your hands, by strangling you right-"
...
"Oh, I'm sorry, what was I doing? For some reason I tend to black out for a few moments whenever I get too close to you. Maybe my condition is acting up again..."

Marie Antoinette, Hans Axel von Fersen:
..."Kyaa, there's always something sooo romantic about childhood-friends-turned-star-crossed-lovers, isn't there!? Like, the realization that the person most precious to you has been by your side all along, aah, I'm just weak to those types of things, you know!?"
"Shush, you're being too loud."
..."Ahem, in all seriousness, I do feel bad for what happened to them... and there wasn't even some great evil that could be blamed for their tragedies. Life really is just that cruel sometimes..."
"That, we can agree on."

Robert Dudley, Queen Elizabeth I:
..."The one you love is over there, and now you're both free from the royal obligations that prevented you from getting together back then! What are you waiting for!? GO GET HER, LOVER BOY!"
"Hey, hey! Indoor voice! Or, um, in-mind, telepathic voice or whatever! Besides, you know they can't hear you, right?"
"Excuse me, miss, but are you feeling okay?"
"Oh dear, it probably looks as if I'm talking to myself again... AAAAHH, THIS IS SOO EMBARRASSING!"
..."You know you're only making things worse for yourself now, right?"
"Apologize! Apologize for ruining my image!"

Alcina:
A witch who deviously stole love from others. At the same time, a maiden in love who only wanted a chance at true love.
*Odette.exe has stopped working*

Ludwig van Beethoven (Caster):
"There are and will be a thousand princes, but only one Beethoven... For all the tragedies that befell the maestro, I still envy him. He may not be Mozart, but he still created such beautiful masterpieces. To exist as something more than 'the second coming of Mozart' and break free from those expectations imposed on him... I wonder if I could ever do the same..."

Madame Tussaud:
"A different art form to depict the gentle inevitability of death, huh... I don't know anything about sculpting, but I think it's impressive just how far you went in pursuit of your art. On another note, I'm not new to the world of modelling either, but I appreciate your company in these sessions."
...
"Oh? What's that? My mask does not seem to fit my 'true' expression? ...Ahaha, what's that supposed to mean? I really have no clue on what you're talking about."

Bond 5

Izumo-no-Okuni:
"You know, I actually did learn a thing or two about kabuki during my world tour. Just the basics, though. I think it's a wonderful art form, but I considered it too flashy for my image and didn't give much thought to it at the time. Now's a different story, though, and I'd be delighted to learn from the founder herself!"

Meltryllis:
"The Alter-Ego of Pleasure. Just as I thought, she... looks absolutely stunning! It's like having a little sister or kouhai who shares your passion, and even Odette seems happy with this turn of events! Please, would you rather call me 'onee-san' or 'senpai'? I'm fine with both, though I'm more partial to the former. It gives off a more intimate feel, you see. Anyway, we have much to talk about! Your performance was an amazing sight to see, and I'd like to learn more about your techniques. To begin with, your perfect triple axel, just how did you do that!? I tried to do something similar before, but I always got dizzy by the second spin, and one time I ended up crashing into a pile of stage props. My teacher got very mad at me that day, and-"

Nannerl Mozart (Gatekeeper):
"Another one who could not quite escape society's gazes during her lifetime... How tragic. I don't know if it's right for me to say this, considering I was the same not so long ago, but the people's expectations, how they wanted you to act, and all that... none of those should define who you are! Your talent is genuine, and the work you put to hone it, even more so. It would be an honor for me to dance to your accompaniment. Shall we begin?"

Pyotr and Petrolina Tchaikovsky:
"Well, this is awkward. It's more than just meeting your idol, it also feels like... meeting a friend's parent? In any case, I see that even someone as talented as the great Tchaikovsky still faced their fair share of hardship during their life. It's nice that they're finally free to be themselves in this second life. Um, anyway, if it's not too much trouble... would you mind providing the music for my first performance of Swan Lake? It's always been on my bucket list, you see, and meeting you here just feels like a sign. I mean... when else would I make this dream come true, if not with the great maestro themselves? Oh, and while I'm at it, can I get an autograph!?"

Ascensions

Ascension 1

"So this is how idols of this day and age dress... Not bad. There's a difference in aesthetics between now and then, but the I can still see some similarities in the basics. Anyway, what do you think, Master? I asked Miss Crane and Miss Bertin to whip up a more 'contemporary' outfit for me, with some help from Miss Angelica, and this is what they came up with. To be honest, I'm not sure the image suits me. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing their performances, but that sort of stage... just feels too bright for someone like me. It clashes with my character, you see."

Ascension 2

Source

"Purple, huh. Now this is a bit closer to the kinds of outfit I wore in life. The skirt feels a little too long, but I suppose that's fine. Most ballerinas prefer it to be higher up so as to not restrict their movements as they prance and skip around the stage, but such bold movements aren't really my style. My teacher always said to leave the acrobatics to others. He said I should 'do the kind of dancing which brings out my own rare qualities instead of trying to win praise by mere acrobatic tricks', so that's exactly what I did."
...
"What I want? Gosh, I... never really thought about it, now that you mention it. I mean, is it okay for me to just throw away the image I've built up my entire life for the sake of my own personal enjoyment? A ballerina should always dedicate their performances for their audience, you know? Doing any less than that would be selfish."

Final Ascension

Source

"Aah, so this is what that princess has been trying to tell me this whole time... Sacrifices aren't always necessary. It's okay to be selfish and seize your own happiness from time to time. Their voices, their demands, their expectations on how I should act... None of them can change the fact that I'm me, and nobody else! I'm the only one capable of defining myself, and I won't let anyone else say otherwise!"
...
"Now then, allow me to reintroduce myself before the audience. I am Anna Pavlova, star of the Imperial Russian Ballet, the swan that finally learned to take flight. I'm nowhere as graceful or perfect as you may think, but I shall dedicate this next dance to all of you, my beloved fans who helped me realize the dreams I've kept buried for so long."

Spiritron Dress: Witch's Night

Source

"Ta-dah! How is it? Do I look like a Caster yet? I recently had this one made for our upcoming production, 'Alcina'. Not Handel's version, mind you. You know how even mentioning that one gets her in a bad mood for the rest of the day. Mr. Andersen and Mr. Jonson laughed themselves to tears after reading the revised script, though, whatever that means. Anyway, opera is a new thing for me. Combining vocals and choreography together sounds like a whole new challenge, but I think I did pretty well in the rehearsals so far, so I do hope you'll attend the premier."

Spiritron Dress: Casual Practice Attire

Source

"Ooh, this one takes me back. I remember how I used to sneak out of the dorm rooms at night to practice alone in the main hall. Well, on the bright side, there's no way I'd end up being found passed out from exhaustion the next morning and receiving a scolding from the headmaster here, right? I know my own limits now, hahaha..."
...
"That said, Master, on the unlikely, probably impossible chance you find me passed out in the halls during the early hours of the morning, can I trust you to bring me back to my room? And not tell anyone else? Oh, not that I'd actually get myself into that situation, of course! That was a hypothetical question, and I'm sure Odette would scold me before I get to that point... right?"
..."Hey, why are you making this my problem?"
"Yep, she totally agreed to it, so there's no point worrying about me!"

Extra: Valentine's CE

Strawberry and Salted Caramel Pavlova


Source

Valentine's gift from Anna Pavlova (Alter-Ego)

"A dessert named after me? Really? I understand how my performances redefined the world of ballet, but to think it affected the culinary arts as well... Now that you mention it, there's no way I couldn't try my hand at baking, right? I mean, it's a nice new hobby that shouldn't be too hard, think of it as a relaxing break from my usual performances!"

It was, in fact, not a relaxing break, especially for the other kitchen staff.
It was unclear what happened exactly, but apparently Odette had to take over to keep her from accidentally starting a fire in the kitchen?
Whatever the case, the end result is actually pretty good.
The salted caramel and whipped cream comfortably melts in your mouth, while the strawberries add just the right amount of sourness to the dish.

This is a gift not from Anna Pavlova, the perfect ballerina , but from Anna Pavlova, the girl who can't cook to save her life.
And Odette, the princess who did 75% of the work.
She refuses to take any credit for it, though, saying that it's her duty to help a friend in need during something as special as Valentines' day.

Bond CE

​Dance of the Imperfect Swan

Ah, there it is; my masterpiece.
The one show that defined Anna Pavlova to this day.
Even now, I can still recall every step as easily as I breathe.

...But I'm more than that. I've finally realized it now.

This footage actually helped me realize something.
Swans... on the surface, they appear to be gracefully gliding over the water like angels. It was the image that first inspired me then.
But underneath the water, their feet must be paddling like crazy down there. And have you ever seen a swan angrily chasing after a pedestrian in the park? Their noisy honking noises are the farthest thing away from graceful!

Point is, swans are beautiful, but there's more to them than what people see.
They're more than peaceful angels quietly residing on the lake's surface.

I'm the same.
The real me is clumsy headstrong, bold, eager to experiment with new things... and nowhere as perfect as my audience believe me to be.
But that's okay.
After all, despite all my imperfections, I can still create something beautiful, and that's enough.

Creator's Notes

Someone who's so well-known with their ability to perform sad, angsty shows, to the point they feel like that's all there is to them, and it would be wrong to perform anything else because that would betray the people's expectations towards her... Wait, guys, I can explain! This is definitely not a subconscious cry for help from me, I swear!

• This is mostly me experimenting with a new format. I had to add some extra stuff such as the costumes and Valentines' CE to put the bond CE exactly at bond 10, and while for me it does help add to her character, your mileage may vary, as I know some people might consider it unnecessary. You be the judge.
• Apparently there was already a canon Skill called Swan Lake which belongs to Summer Melt. Its effects are still vague, though, so I decided to put my own spin on it. There's also a Skill called Pas de Deux in Drangle's Tchaikovsky, with a completely different effect compared to the one here. I... have no excuse for that one, unfortunately. Just realized that when I was writing the relationships section.
• Credits to everyone in the Womb Thread for helping me with the NP. This one... really involved a lot of flavor text, just like Del's advice.
• Speaking of the NP, there's actually some sort of psychological basis to it, called sympathy pains, where you feel other people's pain or discomfort due to a high level of, well, sympathy. Obviously nowhere as wack as how the NP depicted it, but there's some truth to it, at least.
• Just in case you miss it, click the "..." on Odette's dialogue whenever it comes up.
• In my earliest versions of her, her components are Odette and Leda, as fellow swan-related characters. I couldn't figure out how Leda could contribute to the sheet, though, and after reading the connection between Swan Lake and The Dying Swan, I figured both Pavlova and Odette already has a powerful enough connection to be summoned together, and putting Leda there would just be forcing it.
• FC is Shizuku Hinomori from Project Sekai, an idol rhythm game. I think I just hit an untapped fc goldmine there. The thing about rhythm games is that while there's only the same 20 or so characters, each of them has dozens of costumes, which would be ripe for costumes, ascensions, and alts.

I would love to see her as an official servant in the game

[BnEl15]

Ay, great to see more people liking Pavlova. Related to what Alex said, I believe one of the sheet's high points was me actually integrating her character development into it, something I won't necessarily be able to reproduce in every other sheet.

And awww WF, you're too kind! Glad to have you back, queen, and looking forward to more of your masterpieces. Using your format was a real learning experience, and I can't wait to see where you'll go next after the amazing work that was Nannerl.

Also, welcome, Bathory! Not familiar with the figure, but I'm looking forward to see how you'll expand him, as well as your future sheets.

[Glazy]

The clouds gather
The seas brew
Bow to his presence!
Susanoo-no-Mikoto

Y’know you didn’t have to introduce me like that
It’s what you deserve!


Saber of the Storms


True Name: Susanoo-no-Mikoto
Region: Japan
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Wish: The safety of Japan


Stats
Strength: A
Agility: B+
Endurance: A+
Magic: B
Luck:B
Noble Phantasm: A++


Profile
The legendary storm god of Japan and slayer of the fearsome Yamata no Orochi. Although normally a Divine Spirit he is summoned when he was banished from the heavens from Amaterasu. Saber is a figure who lives to his legend. Heroic, Chaotic, The Storm, Forester, Brother, Husband, and Father. Like a storm gentle at some times, wild at others.


Despite his image, Saber isn’t as arrogant as one would think. Confident but always looking for ways to change the tide of battle to his favor. Having experienced what it is like to be a human Saber sword is for humanity. This is in contrast with his sister who believes they are higher than the plights of humanity. No surprise that they have never gotten along.


Class Skills

Magic Resistance: B
Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by greater magecraft and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for them to be affected

Despite most of his godhood taken away. Saber was still born in the Age of Gods which allowed him to have strong resistance to modern magecraft.


Riding: C++
One can flawlessly manage beasts and vehicles if they have received the proper training and adjustments. Most vehicles and animals can be handled with above average skill. However, they cannot ride the likes of Phantasmal Species such as Monstrous Beasts.
Although Saber has no anecdotes of being a rider, his former existence as a

perfect being

God

boosts his rank more than he should normally have.


Personal Skills

Divinity: E
The measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. Can break through skills such as tection of the Faith and Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig.

Although banished from the heavens. Saber has never felt more whole before.


Mana Burst (Storms):A
The increase in performance is caused by infusing one's weapons and body with Magical Energy and instantly expelling it. This is technically a composite skill as Saber can infuse his attacks with water, lighting, and wind.

This is his remnant of his Divinity as the storm god of Japan. It’s a deadly skill that can provide deadly combos.

Item Creation: B
Normally a skill belonging to the Caster class. It is the Skill to manufacture magical items, from implements of war to items for daily use.

Saber despite being a storm god is quite crafty from making good Sake, to trees, to even fully fledged gods.


Noble Phantasm


Kushinadahime: The Princesses Comb
Type: Anit Unit (Self)
Rank: B
Range: 1
Maximum Target: 1
The last daughter of Tenazuchi and Ashinazuchi and the wife of Saber. She acts like a sort of guide in a video game giving out advice and giving out info on items Saber comes across. Of course how she knows about things she has never seen before is a mystery.


You’re just using Wikipedia aren’t you?
Am not!

She also acts as Saber’s extra eyes on the battlefield. In addition she sort of acts like a mental resistance with her scorning Saber if he's under any influence.


Susanoo! How are you getting charmed when I’m right here!!


Overall she’s a useful assistant to Saber. Although the Master might have a small problem with them.

Wow look at you hunk~ so strong and mighty
Oh Kushinadahime you making me blush

They are very lovey dovey with each other and as the Master has a telepathic link with servants. The master will have to be forced to bear their love dovey conversation with each other.

After the Storm

The Snake God was dead. Its lingering poison still affects the air but slowly being washed out by the passing rain cloud. A man walked through the mountains carrying the proof of his labors.

“Huh I can’t believe you actually survived that.” The comb princess said

“Oi you think I’m the god of storms for nothing ! “ The former god retorts

“Forgive me Lord Susanoo I guess I was just surprised. From what I heard I thought you would just run in and try to fight that thing. I didn’t expect, well, an actual strategy.” The comb princesses said in a half genuine half teasing.

“Hmph”

The man looked down at the divine blade. This will surely bring him back to Takamagahara yet he felt empty looking at it. Why? This is what he always wanted ever since he got banished but….

“Something wrong Lord Susanoo?”

“Nothing, I'm just wondering. Do I want to become a god again?”

“What! Lord Susanoo isn’t that what you wanted? Isn’t this why you helped us?

“You think I helped you because it would help me become a god again?”

“I..”

“It’s okay I get it. I’m the problem god, the one always making trouble in heaven. I can’t really dispute those claims because well they're true.” The man said in a self deprecating tone

“Lord Susanno… is that why you are afraid of being a god again? Because you think you’ll be bad again?”

“Yeah.. As a god you don’t see the consequences of your actions because you’re “perfect”. You don’t see the harm you cause or damage you done just because that’s how being a god works. It’s in our nature. That kind of mindset plus the power attributed to being a god is corrupting, and I’m just afraid that I’m not strong enough to resist it.”

“Well… I believe you can do it. Mean you’re the mighty Lord Susanoo-no-Mikoto the thunder god of japan! Besides, if you start doing any evil stuff I will personally scold you! She exclaimed loudly “Mean we are husband and wife I can’t let you do bad stuff y’know.”She said softly

“Heh” The man smiled “Kushinadahime can you do one thing for me”

“Yes my lord?”

“Stop calling using lord we suppose to be husband and wife, so we should be equal in name”

“H--huh but but”

“Mean if you don’t want to stop that I guess I can use “Lady Kushinadahime”. Man imagine my sister's face if she had to call a mortal girl "lady".

“It’s fine! It’s fine! No need .”

“Hahah”

“Susanoo! You jerk!”

Kusanagi-no-Tachi: Offering to the Sun God
Type: Anit Unit (Self)
Rank: A++
Range 1
Maximum target: 1
The legendary sword of Japan and one of the Imperial Regalia. Found within the dragon god Yamata-no-Orochi. Normally a sword with great power it cannot be used by Saber as there’s no recorded instance of him using the sword. Instead he can offer the sword up to Amaterasu symbolizing his completion of his journey as a human. He will then be granted all of his divinity back and be the great thunder god of Japan once more.

Unfortunately due to how much power is flowing within Saber the servant container will probably break destroying saber from the war. Like a lightning bolt strong but quick.

[Comun]

Oh I loved every single bit of Kushinada in this. It really makes the whole sheet a delicious read.

[Glazy]

D.B. Cooper:
Well, this is something. I love the concept. He feels kinda Watcher-y, and those NPs could really screw up your average HGW. A very situational Servant who's generally weak, but could be really good in the right circumstances.

Thank you I really appreciate you putting DB in your robin hood sheet

DB Cooper is an interesting idea, yet i feel like it was treated too much like a servant than a wraith/phantom. Even being a rider, 3 np are too many of a recent anecdote.
I wouldve respected you tho if you went the Marvel Loki route tho.

Eh Rider's are suppose to have multiply NPs in exchange for low stats. This is has been since f/sn

Oh I loved every single bit of Kushinada in this. It really makes the whole sheet a delicious read.

Thank you.

Euclid[/B]: Pretty interesting concept and mechanic, especially the first NP. I kinda wish you explored more of his seething against mystery though. Still, despite being on the sparse side, it's pretty solid.

Also, since you touched the Non-Euclidean Lovecraft meme, it reminds me of my concept of Foreigner Euclid in which since modern science has proved that the universe is technically "Non-Euclidean", that makes the "Euclidean" reality technically an alien world, or something along these lines.

- - - Updated - - -

also just noticed that both of these sheets' FCs are my recommendations from the Faceclaim thread, i'm kinda touched lol

Noted as you can see that I added more short stories in my servant sheets. Also thanks for the face claims it just fitted with the description of Cannon euclid.

[RoydGolden]

"Servant Archer, Lyudmila Pavlichenko. It appears even beyond death I've been called on to serve my country. Now then, how many heads will I need to shoot?"

Servant Archer:

Appearance:

Source

True Name: Lyudmila Pavlichenko "Lady Death"

Alignment: Neutral Good

Alternate Classes: Assassin, Avenger

Armament: A Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle.

Strength- D
Agility- C+
Endurance- B
Mana- E
Luck- C
NP- A

Personality

Cold and austere, hardened by the trauma she endured. Archer shows little emotion apart from her morbid work, giving her an unapproachable demeanor that can be misconstrued as heartless. She is actually a passionate woman with a wealth of emotions, having been a tomboy who dedicated herself to various sports like skydiving, aviation, sprinting and polevaulting in her youth. However when her university at Kiev was bombed Archer forcibly suppressed those emotions to defend her homeland, becoming a

reviled

revered

demon of the battlefield.

While sniping Archer can display a more vicious and sadistic persona, treating her foes as mere prey that exist to be claimed by a superior huntress like herself. The more engrossed she is in a "hunt", the further this side of herself comes to the surface, at which point it wouldn't be uncommon to see Archer flashing eager grins as she tracks her prey. Initially a coping mechanism to deal with having taken so many lives it's now become close to a secondary personality that awakens when Archer goes behind a scope.

Despite her coldness Archer will return kindness shown to her. She values people who stand up for their convictions even if they lack the strength to do so on the battlefield, recognizing not all are meant to fight and sometimes words alone can be enough to save a person. After all, her beloved mentor Eleanor Roosevelt was such a person, and Archer still looks up to her as a shining figure who saved her when her heart was numbed by despair. For that reason she gets along well with other female statesman-type Servants. Conversely Archer is disgusted by pampered fools who know nothing of war, such as those who continually questioned her over makeup and the fashionability of her uniform when she arrived in America. While she fought to protect a world where everyone can live in peace, Archer feels a gnawing temptation to personally show such individuals the hell of the battlefield.

Archer naturally feels a burning fury towards Nazis and Fascists. If she encounters any Servants of those ideologies in the Grail War Archer intends to fully enjoy making them wallow in agony and experience every last drop of the persecution her comrades felt before finally ending their lives. She'll resort to far more brutal and sadistic tactics like deliberately shooting the opponent's limbs to maim them before going in for the kill. In these moments her mentality is virtually on the level of an Avenger or Berserker-Classed Servant.

On a related note while Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union in her era Archer's loyalty is squarely towards the former rather than what would now be called Russia. In fact she's disgusted by her former country's current governance and if summoned amidst a certain conflict in the present day, would respond by simply loading her rifle and stating that she has a single bullet to deliver to "that man's" head and end his senseless ambitions.

Archer has quite an appetite and enjoys wolfing down large meals. As she's mainly used to meager battlefield rations she takes time to appreciate the food of the era she's summoned into. She'll definitely give a murderous glare at anyone who tries to lecture her for "unladylike" eating habits. Incidentally it seems she's particularly fond of sweets such as chocolate, though after experience with one particularly foolish German officer she feels the need to insist she'd never betray her side just to get some.

For her wish on the Holy Grail, while Archer underwent many tragedies in life- greatest of these being the death of her second husband- she ultimately overcame them, and regards it would cheapen the sacrifices of all her comrades to revive only those she held personal attachment to. As such were Archer to obtain the Grail she would merely wish for the everlasting freedom and prosperity of Ukraine, the country she was raised in and loved.

Likes: Ukraine, equality between the sexes, large portion sizes, her husband, Eleanor Roosevelt
Dislikes: sexism, frivolous fools with no awareness of the battlefield, Nazi Germany, Russia's current state
Talents: sniping, war propaganda
Natural Enemy: Adolf Hitler, Simo Hayha

Class Skills:

Independent Action- A
The ability to sustain oneself in the World without a supply of magical energy from one's Master. At this rank the Servant can linger in the World for up to two days in the absence of an active contract. As a sniper used to operating for long periods without support Archer possesses a high affinity for this Skill.

Magic Resistance- E+
Confers protection against magical effects. At this rank it doesn't negate magic at all, but merely reduces the damage a little. As a heroine from the modern day who never brushed against the occult in life she obtains only a measly shard of resistance by virtue of her Class Container. However due to her experience enduring harsh conditions on her career as a sniper Archer has a bonus in defending against Magecraft derived from adverse elements like storms or cold. As "Lady Death" there is also a minor resistance towards instant-death effects.


Personal Skills:

Determination Of Steel- B
A composite Skill, combining the effects of Bravery and Calm & Collected, that allows one to completely ignore pain and endure superhuman speeds. While a kind girl who loved her home and family Archer chose to suppress her emotions and become a ruthless killer to protect her country. Allows her to ignore mental interference like pressure, doubt and fear that would disrupt her sense of aim while also blocking out the physical pain of waiting hours in harsh conditions to line up a perfect shot. In a duel with another sniper Archer once spent an entire winter's afternoon hidden in a patch of sharp briars that cut her skin, enduring the freezing cold and sound of artillery fire roaring around her to wait for her target to make a false move. Their patience broke first, and the Queen of Snipers lived to claim another kill.

Clairvoyance- C
Connotes enhanced visual perception. The most awarded female sniper in history, known for pulling off shots at impossible distances and in heavy rain that obscured visibility. Her unerring eye that earned infamy amongst the German ranks has been further exaggerated as a Servant, giving Archer the ability to accurately aim in a two-kilometer range. Also able to track moving targets with considerable ease.

Ghost Of The Battlefield- A+
A variant of Presence Concealment that denotes the ability to completely vanish one's presence and stalk foes like a ghost across the battlefield. Having hunted in the rain and amidst artillery barrages to mask the sound of her gunfire Archer became a ghost that terrorized the German army, striking fear as a specter out to take back the blood shed by her countrymen. As well as the effects of C-ranked Presence Concealment while Archer is "on the hunt" this Skill emits a curse-like mental interference that destabilizes the psyches of enemy forces, imprinting the primal sensation of being watched by an implacable predator. This can provoke a target into revealing themselves and sows disorder into enemy ranks during group battles. Both these effects are boosted should the confrontation be taking place amidst adverse environmental conditions like storms.

Sadistic Constitution- D
A Skill that augments one's aggression in battle. It appears to be a positive Skill, but the longer its owner stays in battle, the more their abusive disposition will grow, causing them to lose their usual composure. It's possible to say that this is just one step short of the Skill that drives Berserkers to sink into madness. The more one attacks, the stronger one becomes, but on the other hand, one's defensive abilities drop.

After her husband's death she grew crueler, shooting German soldiers in the leg to keep them alive while picking off any allies who came to rescue them. Corpses begat more corpses, feeding the Queen of Snipers' rage. As she loses herself in her work Archer becomes more brutal and cruel, a demon that luxuriates in the carnage of the battlefield. However as she usually won't lose her composure enough to reveal herself Archer has only a low rank in this Skill.

Great Multicultural Exchange- C
A Skill granted to those who metaphorically "unified" the world by facilitating an exchange of culture. A unique variation of Human Observation and Eye For Art, there is a chance that the user might be able to deduce an enemy Servant's True Name, Skills, and Noble Phantasm(s) by observing traces of their "culture", consisting of their clothing, accent, speech patterns, and armaments. After her tour of duty, Archer was sent as an ambassador to America to build support for the war's European front. There she met the First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt who became Archer's lifelong friend, partially thawing the shell of ice around her heart...

Noble Phantasms

Chervoni Strichky

Ghost's Crimson Shadows

Rank: D+

Type: Support

A Noble Phantasm crystallizing Archer's strategy of tying cloth strips to flutter in the wind disorienting her enemies. It allows Archer to form red ribbons from her Mana that when tied to any surface can at will be transformed into a duplicate of herself. While indistinguishable from Archer in appearance these doubles are merely hollow shells of Mana that are unable to move or attack, yet they can momentarily distract an enemy to allow her to line up a shot. Upon taking any damage they melt away into red shadows.

Another usage of this Noble Phantasm activates automatically when Archer receives what should've been a fatal blow, creating a double of herself to take the wound in her place. Said fake corpse lingers on the battlefield before dissipating into Mana as is normal for Servants while Archer herself enters spiritual form to escape. However this is only usable once per week and Archer can't leave spiritual form for the rest of the day afterwards, being vulnerable if she's caught in that state. This represents how Archer faked her death by falling backwards off a tree when fired on by an enemy sniper and lay on the ground until nightfall to make her escape.

Eleanor

My Eternal Summer Memory

Rank: A

Type: Support

A single shining memory locked away within Archer's heart, that of one woman who showed her kindness when the world was cold and cruel. By reminiscing on the ephemeral yet unforgettable time they shared together Archer momentarily enters her personal "happy place", becoming enveloped in summery yellow light. Attacks and interferences cannot reach her in that place, as nothing may sully her memory of perfect happiness. However Archer is only able to maintain this equanimity for a few seconds at a time, only enough to nullify a single attack before returning to a reality of pain and loss. Even so, she can exploit that moment of seeming intangibility to expose herself and line up a perfect shot.

This Noble Phantasm can be likened to a weaker version of a certain British king's scabbard. However as it is merely fueled off her personal happiness rather than the paradise extolled in mythology attacks ranked A or higher will bypass this protection. It also costs a heavy amount of Mana to use.

So the talk of banning Russian Servants recently made me think of writing a Ukrainian one in solidarity with the war going on. Got inspired to do her after coming across her name on the Rejected Princesses site (a good source for finding lesser-known female Heroic Spirit candidates). Thanks to BnEl for his Great Multicultural Exchange Skill. As usual comments and critiques would be welcome. Thanks for reading y'all!

[jishara]

WOW - Oh my gosh I had her on my list but couldn't think of a Noble Phantasm. You just blew me away! Amazing job!

[RoydGolden]

WOW - Oh my gosh I had her on my list but couldn't think of a Noble Phantasm. You just blew me away! Amazing job!

Thanks man. Coming with NPs for sniper figures can be a bit hard because the obvious "super shot that pierces defense/instant-kill" NP is well... obvious and not that interesting. So in this case I tried to take more peripheral parts of her legend and make them into interesting NPs.

[BnEl15]

Pavlichenko: Cool sheet with creative NPs aside, you have my thanks for pointing me towards Rejected Princesses. Now excuse me, as I have a fair bit of reading to do.

Marie Antoinette: "Ah, how can you get along with him?"
Child servants: "So, this note goes here, this note goes here... Oh hey master, I was just teaching the kids some music theory."

Creator Notes: Update!

[WhiteFrenzy]

we were blessed with a WF comment! thank you, im glad you liked them
I hope you are doing fine, Queen. Your contest prompt created great sheets

YEEEES I SAW THAT. So proud of you guys and of all your amazing creations, I swear y'all inspire me so much.

And awww WF, you're too kind! Glad to have you back, queen, and looking forward to more of your masterpieces. Using your format was a real learning experience, and I can't wait to see where you'll go next after the amazing work that was Nannerl.

OMG I'm so honored you liked her, king! I hope I won't disappoint with the next servant.



Lyudmila Pavlichenko: What is this sound? Is this the Best Girl Alarm I'm hearing? What a great Servant she is. You've managed to take something that would be bland in anyone else's hand and transform into an interesting concept. Parroting others' opinions, I think the NPs are the strongest part of her character, I was even taking notes on them. What a cool concept they hold, especially the first one.

Sergei Prokokiev: I've seen you're trying to expand your Servants with quotes and such, that's amazing. Experimenting with your formatting would do wonders for your sheets and make them easier to read too, like playing with colors or using bold/italic letters sometimes in titles and such. But those are my only gripes, as for the Servant itself I think it's a strong concept. You're definitely far ahead in the game than I was when I started doing this, at least.

[DesReploid]

Hello, long time Create-a-Servant accountless-lurker here. I've finally gotten through to properly formatting my first Servant and I hope it is alright that I just let myself in by dropping the sheet in here.

《 ~~ ★ ~~ ❆ ~~ ★ ~~ 》

Twas a frosty Xmas morning
In our trenches on the Lys
And a fog was hanging thick along the fields

You could hear the Bosches singing
But no Xmas bells were ringing
’Cept the tinkle of the bullets on shields.

When the fog at last had lifted
And the Bosches glances shifted
On our parapet in front of them they saw;

On a notice board in writing
From the men that they were fighting
“Merry Xmas” and Kaisers heads galore.

Then the Bosches started shouting
“Will you come and take an outing?”
And a row of heads along our line appear

For two Saxons greatly daring
To our trenches were boldly faring
With a barrel of the most indifferent beer.

Independant Action D+ The two of them are well acquainted with disobeying orders and not following their masters. Stockwell and von Sinner can remain without a master for a few hours. If the reason that they are without a master is that they refused to follow their orders, they gain the ability to remain materialized for about a day, although fighting is not possible during this time.

Magic Resistance E As Stockwell and von Sinner were born after the age of magic, the rank of their Magic Resistance is as low as it can be. The only magic resistance they have is that which comes along with existing as a Servant of the Archer class.

《 ~~ ❆ ~~ Personal Skills ~~ ❆ ~~ 》《 ~~ ❆ ~~ Personal Skills ~~ ❆ ~~ 》

Our Christmas Carols E+++ Originally, Stockwell and von Sinner found together after Stockwell and his men had overheard Christmas carols being sung in the German trenches. Eventually, Stockwell and his men joined in the singing, and the Germans shouted to them that they won't shoot if the British also wouldn't. Stockwell and von Sinner can, through singing Christmas carols, cause an effect comparable to fascination magecraft. Although, when they sing alone this skill barely has an effect. When they sing together, not only does the fascination effect grow stronger, but they also receive a small boost in their own abilities.

Tomorrow, the bullets fly C Despite the unbreakable bond that was forged between Stockwell and von Sinner that day, they returned to their own trenches and they fought each other the next day again. They both knew at all times that they would be firing at one another again come the next morning, there were no illusions about it. This skill raises Stockwell's and von Sinner's physical parameters when they fight an enemy with whom they had an alliance or truce before. It is, however, important, that the end of the agreement that they had is clearly communicated and that the now enemy is aware Stockwell and von Sinner are their enemies again. If Stockwell and von Sinner attempt to ambush or betray someone they had a truce with, this skill will actually lower their physical parameters instead.

Disengage C Though the Christmas Truce saw soldiers celebrating, playing football and sharing food and drink many also took the time to refortify their trenches and bury their dead. Others used the time to hold Christmas sermons. But overall, morale was raised and many of the disadvantages from the long days of fighting were undone.

《 ~~ ❆ ~~ Noble Phantasm ~~ ❆ ~~ 》《 ~~ ❆ ~~ Noble Phantasm ~~ ❆ ~~ 》

The Christmas Truce For one day, they let the guns rest The British Captain Clifton Stockwell and the German Baron Maximillian von Sinner were the first men of each side to meet in No Man’s Land and the ones that agreed on the famous Christmas Truce. Instead of fighting, they chose to sit together, share food and drink and play football. This Noble Phantasm, once activated, suppresses fighting spirits in a large area surrounding Archer to the point that attacking at all becomes practically impossible. Affected Servants also aren’t directly aware that they are being affected by this Noble Phantasm, instead, they will rationalise their behaviour however it makes sense for them. An arrogant hero may rationalise that they wish not to fight because they would rather be humoured by lowly Servants like Archer, while an empathetic king may instead be reminded of the horrors they subjected their armies to and lay down their arms in respect to this. Skills such as Mental Pollution or others that specifically block or cancel mental manipulation can allow Servants to resist the effects of The Christmas Truce to some degree. Depending on how powerful the opposing Skill is, the Servant may be aware that they are affected by this Noble Phantasm, instead of rationalising why they feel unwilling to fight. If such a skill is powerful enough it may even be enough to resist the fighting spirit suppression. However, even in the case that a Servant is able to attack despite being affected by The Christmas Truce, their attacks may still be weakened to some small degree. The Christmas Truce immediately ceases to be active once anyone attacks within its effective range. The truce has been broken, the war may commence again. To recreate the festive setting, the Noble Phantasm is also capable of creating some decorated Christmas trees, footballs as well as beer and plum pudding to share with those willing to.

《 ~~ ❆ ~~ Background and Description ~~ ❆ ~~ 》《 ~~ ❆ ~~ Background and Description ~~ ❆ ~~ 》

BACKGROUND On December 7th, 1914 Pope Benedict XV asked the leading powers of Europe to at least lay down their arms on the night the angels sang. However, there was very little interest in his words from the country’s leaders. The German Kaiser Wilhelm II sent Christmas trees to the front lines, in an effort to boost morale. On the 23 of December, German troops began placing them atop their trenches and loudly singing Christmas carols. The British troops began hearing more and more of the songs carrying over to them. Some of them responded by singing their own Christmas songs. Eventually, they heard someone shout from the German trenches, in broken English. On the 25th of December, if the British wouldn’t shoot, the Germans won’t shoot either. Cliffton Stockwell was initially suspicious of the Germans and demanded to speak with someone of his rank. Baron Maximillian von Sinner stepped forward. Cliffton told him they were under direct orders not to fraternise with the enemy, von Sinner said he was too, but that he’d rather not shoot on Christmas. Von Sinner offered that they had a lot of beer in the German trenches and were willing to share. Stockwell gifted von Sinner some plum pudding in return and suggested that they all play football. The Christmas Truce was eventually broken up, as Generals, safe behind the lines, ordered artillery to fire at the soldiers. Although in some spaces, the Christmas Truce lasted until the 1st of January in some areas. Any future attempts at a Christmas Truce were quickly stopped afterwards. However, no court-martials or punishments were ever linked to the Christmas Truce.

DESCRIPTION Two men, arch-enemies and yet they share more similarities than anything that divides them. Clifton Stockwell and Maximillian von Sinner, two relatively ordinary men, with ordinary lives at least, for the war-ridden times they lived in. They would barely be eligible for the position of a Phantom if it weren’t for one very key event. On the 25th of December 1914, these two ordinary men approached each other in No Man’s Land, agreed to stop fighting, shared gifts, food and drink, and played football. The significance of this event, now known as the Christmas Truce, is what allows these two ordinary men to stand amongst kings and warriors of old. Two men, with nothing more but rifles, beer, some plum pudding and a football. Clifton Stockwell is the more serious of the two. He is careful and calculated and a bit of a stickler for rules. Clifton is an artist at heart, he likes to draw, although he will readily admit that he’s no good at it, he’s started and scrapped countless novels and written a few poems here and there. When it comes to the military, he is much better at marksmanship and strategy than von Sinner and generally worries about picking their enemies off from afar. Stockwell somewhat feels like an older brother to von Sinner and is very protective over him. Maximillian von Sinner is a passionate, hotheaded and impulsive individual, a bit of a troublemaker known for breaking rules when he likes. Although he is the more physically able of the two, something which he would say is just an exaggeration and the one that generally handles close combat encounters when necessary. Maximillian loves sports and is often busy training. He particularly enjoys football, handball and boxing. Stockwell considers him reckless, as he was the first to climb into No Man’s Land and move toward his trench which would have been a death sentence on any other day.

LIKES Stockwell: "Well, what does Max like? Running, I suppose. He’s always running, keeping himself in good shape. He likes fighting, too. Although I would rather he didn’t, he’s the kind of person that somehow looks worse than the guy he just knocked out. Oh, he’s also great with kids and animals. You should see him around dogs, he has that magic touch that makes them trust him." Von Sinner: "Something that Clif likes? Ha! Beer and candy, like anyone! He also really likes his quiet time, sits around a lot and reads, or writes, or draws. He says he’s bad at it, but I don’t think so, he’s quite good. Especially poems, he really loves writing poems! He wrote one for me, or well, one about the Christmas Truce, but he says it’s for me, anyway."

DISLIKES "Ironically, he loves to fight, but he hates the war. Although, I suppose most people don’t like wars. He’s really just a good soul. You should have heard him curse when the artillery came in. I didn’t understand a word of what he said, but if he had yelled any louder he might’ve drowned out the artillery shells entirely. If you lie to him or betray him somehow, you should get ready to be hit in the head by a trench shovel." "Clif hates it when I take and read his poetry and the bits of stories that he writes. Don’t tell him, but I’ve taken his latest work already, I just need to get it back before he notices. He also dislikes how heated I can get. I swear, sometimes, during that football game, he looked like he was going to run away. We were losing really badly in the beginning and I got really into it, you know?"

WISH FOR THE GRAIL "No more wars…?" "No more wars." "Probably never going to happen. Even with a wish from the Grail." "I know, but we old soldiers can dream."

《 ~~ ❆ ~~ Notes ~~ ❆ ~~ 》So, here is my very out-of-season, given that we're slowly but surely heading toward Summer, Christmas Truce servant.
I absolutely love that historical event and, at least as far as I've seen, nobody has ever gone and made a Servant based on it.
The picture isn't very anime, I know, but there is unsurprisingly little anime-esque art of that event, so I took what I could get. (Now please nobody notice that those are two German soldiers.)
If I keep posting maybe I'll eventually develop my own style so that I can stop butchering DelRey's older sheets for design inspiration. Sorry for that.
And once again, I really hope it's alright for me to just burst in here like that... and also for immediately making a Servant that falls into two regions instead of just one.

Hi WhiteFrenzy, thank you so much for the kind comment.

Hi DesReploid, welcome. Nice to meet you. I really enjoy the sheet. Great job!
