Sella

is a homunculus created by the Einzbern family to serve as a maid and to teach Illyasviel sorcery.
==Profile==
===Background===
Sella is a Homunculus created by the Einzbern family, the product of a hundred different kinds of alchemy.Fate/hollow ataraxia - Other - Einzbern Castle - Ghost Gossip Glamorous She was amongst failures in the creation of the Holy Grail and originally she was meant to be scrapped, but she was given a new life as Illya's maid and teacher.
While she was made on the basis of the same shape as Leysritt, Sella was made as a pure homunculus two years ago with normal alchemy. Unlike Illyasviel and Leysritt, Sella is not a miracle of the Einzbern family, but a homunculus with perfect efficiency.
===Appearance===
Despite her appearance, she is only about two years old. She usually wears a maid outfit with a hood that makes her appear almost identical to Leysritt; in casual clothing, she is revealed to have long pale hair, a characteristic of Einzbern homunculi.

===Personality===
Sella is highly protective of Illya, whom she loves and cares for deeply, and thus is very suspicious of Shirou Emiya.
Despite her apparent coldness to everyone but Illya, Sella is actually rather fickle and insecure, particularly about her body, and Leysritt and Illya often tease Sella for her harsh personality. Unlike Leysritt's difficulty expressing herself, Sella has clear emotions and does not hesitate to show her displeasure towards Shirou.
She tends to throw away her humanity in order to protect Illya, but she is unusually friendly to plants and animals. She usually distances herself from humans and prefers to take care of the flora and fauna of the castle.
==Role==

Sella realizes that Illya has pity for Shirou.Fate/stay night [Unlimited Bladeworks] - Episode 4: "Finding the Will to Fight"
When Rin and Shirou went to the Einzbern territory to seek an alliance. Sella was against the idea to invite them and insist Illya as the lord of the castle, should drive them away. Sella lectured Illya that she should act more like the Einzbern princess and should send out invitation, and throw an evening party, in keeping with proper decorum. Sella sighs as Illya orders both her and Leysitts to capture both of them. She and Sella found Shinji Matou in the castle's garden. Sella compares Shinji to a harmless fly and decides to deal with him before capturing Shirou and Rin. Sella threatens Shinji to either jump off the roof and flee or be slain by Leysritt's halberd. As they prepare to kill him, they were interrupted by Gilgamesh. Sella instantly felt threatened by Gilgamesh's presence and Sella orders Leysitt to escape. Sella refuses to allow Shinji and Gilgamesh to pass as she is determined to protect Illya. However Leysritt was murdered as Gilgamesh fired his weapons. After the battle, Sella was impaled with several swords and was heavily injured. Sella was determined to not let Gilgamesh go near Illya, as long as she draw breath. She was decapitated by him.Fate/stay night [Unlimited Bladeworks] - Episode 14: "Princess of Colchis"

They encounter both Shirou and Shinji, Shinji tells Shirou about Celebloomers being the Capsaba champ who uses the orthodox financial-power style, famous for annihilating her opponents with a deck put together by using money.
After Shirou beats Celebloomers, Sella tries to comfort Celebloomers to not be discouraged.
