Illyasviel von Einzbern (Fate/kaleid)

is the main protagonist of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA. She also appears as , a Caster-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
==Profile==
===Background===
Illya differs from her Fate/stay night counterpart in many different ways. She was born directly to be utilized in the fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War. She was given the knowledge needed at birth as a result. Her parents, Kiritsugu and Irisviel, had been discussing completely abandoning the ritual and the Einzbern family, and Irisviel was given the final choice. They decided when Illya was eight months old, and sealed her magical abilities and her memories up until that point. They remained within her as a separate personality, Kuro, that continued to accrue the same memories as her.
She was brought to Fuyuki from the Einzbern castle and raised as a normal child along with her adopted brother, Shirou. Their parents were away for long periods of time, so they were left with Sella and Leysritt much of the time. She had a normal life for ten years without any knowledge of her background, and had no idea about her parents' activities.
===Appearance===
She has basically the same appearance as her Fate/stay night counterpart, even though here she is younger. Being originally an Einzbern homunculi, Illyasviel has red eyes and long silver hair just like her mother, Irisviel. She wears many casual outfits but the more recognizable ones are her regular school uniform, summer school uniform and her pink Magical Girl outfit after contracting with Magical Ruby. While using Magical Sapphire, she wears a purple outfit, a little bit different from Miyu's.
In the Zwei Form where she wields both Magical Ruby and Magical Sapphire, her outfit changes to a purplish color with and she obtains cosmic-like wings. As a Card User she is able to install Class Cards and to obtain outfits and equipment of various Heroic Spirits. She only becomes able to do it by herself during her first fight with Beatrice Flowerchild.
When she installs the Saber Class Card, instead of summoning the King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon, she brings out the Princess Knight side of her.
===Personality===
Illya exhibits a cheerful and positive attitude; but unlike her counterpart, she is shy, easily flustered, and more innocent at the beginning. In her first fight, she is shown to be agile but rather cowardly. Also, Illya is an ardent fan of anime, much to Sella's disappointment. She secretly harbors feelings for her brother, Shirou, something that Ruby highlights frequently much to her embarrassment. She is also rarely (if ever) clingy when with him unlike her Fate/Stay Night counterpart.
When interacting with her friends at school, she shares a dynamic relationship with them where she usually acts as the voice of reason, a role that is very much like a Tsukkomi (a person who throws punchlines). This is particularly expressed when it comes to suggestively lewd or comedically immoral situations. She has a rather intense fascination with maid outfits, though she does not like the official Einzbern maid outfit Sella puts on at one point.
As the series progresses, Illya matures into a strong individual who's willing to face overwhelming odds for what she cares about while also maintaining her innocent nature and strong morals. This is proven when Illya also wants to protect everyone, especially her friends. It is shown as Illya proclaims that she will help Miyu and her world, even though Julian stated that it is almost impossible.
This characterizes the immeasurable amount of kindness Illya possesses that she is considered a natural genius in becoming friends with her enemies.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 41: "Decisive Battle? Chloe Castle!" Examples include Miyu, Chloe, Bazett, Gil, and Angelica.
Despite her growth in maturity, she still holds behaviors fitting of her age such as childish tempers, trying to act mature, and being stubborn towards things she dislikes. Like all young girls her age she adores cute things like animals and stuffed toys. In stark contrast to her original version, she really likes cats.

She then tries to give her jewel to the group, unconcerned that the Echoes will attack her without it. She also informs Illya of the truth of Miyu's kidnapping. Illya refuses to take the jewel, but Helena reveals the jewels are needed to bypass the black wall as they’re the crystallized emotions that grant wishes. She warns though the First Lady is likely gathering the jewels to use them to escape to the outside world. But she advises against fighting her as the First Lady’s power in the Reality Marble is absolute. She then demands Illya take her jewel, forcing Illya to fight her.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, 3rei!: the Land of Dead Bookshelves III After she's defeated, Helena accepts Ritsuka's offer to join their group.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, World End Match: Mahatma Helena

He reestablishes contact but reveals Chaldea's Servants just repelled an assault on the facility using its leyline connection. He gives Ritsuka and Mash five minutes to decide whether to return to Chaldea or stay with Illya. Suddenly it starts to snow, signifying that Medb is attacking the surrounding lands. Ruby has Mash return to normal as her power is solely dependent on Ritsuka’s magical energy with the connection with Chaldea now cut. After the group decides to stay and help Illya, Ruby has Illya teach Mash how to recharge her magical energy through kissing. Romani then reestablishes contact to hear Ritsuka and Mash’s decision.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, 4ier!!!: The Land of Snow and Honey II
After Ritsuka and Mash tell Romani of their decision, the group travels to the Land of Sweets, which has been assimilated into the Land of Snow and Honey. There they fight Mini Cu's monsters despite Mash being weakened in Medb’s territory. After his monsters are slain, Mini Cu prepares to unleash his Noble Phantasm, Gentle Bite Coinchenn, on Illya, even though he knows Medb wants to recruit her. Mash protects Illya when Magical Sapphire suddenly appears. Sapphire agrees with Ruby’s request to temporarily contract with Mash since she is Illya’s ally. After Sapphire contracts with Mash, Mini Cu retreats as Helena tells him to tell Medb that Illya has two jewels. Sapphire then plays a message from Miyu. Miyu reveals she is imprisoned in the First Lady's castle, and the latter has been luring Magical Girls from different worlds into the Reality Marble. She suspects it's for a nefarious purpose, and it's related to her captivity. She then ends the message warning Illya not to come. Sapphire believes Miyu doesn’t want Illya to come because she knows something about the First Lady’s true identity. Helena only heard that the First Lady was the first Magical Girl.
After Helena gives her jewel to Illya, the group enters Medb's castle without Helena. Inside the throne room, the group confronts Medb. She tries and fails to convince Illya that Ritsuka and Mash are secretly trying to conquer her world. She then offers to help Illya save Miyu in exchange for them joining her, saying they'll make Ritsuka and Mash into their slaves. Ritsuka realizes Medb is fighting against despair after she mentioned her servitude under the First Lady led to the deaths of many Magical Girls. Illya refuses to believe that, however, as Medb's attack on her and Miyu made it possible for Miyu to be kidnapped and states Medb is also trying to invade Chaldea. Ritsuka says the First Lady is at fault, not Medb, which greatly enrages the latter. Mini Cu launches his Noble Phantasm at Ritsuka, but Mash and Illya block it. Reinvigorated by Mini Cu, Medb fights the group.
After being defeated, Medb confesses her army was for those Magical Girls who had nowhere left to go. Illya realizes Medb considered the Magical Girls who disappeared her comrades. Medb's heart finally breaks, and as a result, her castle begins to collapse. Ritsuka and Illya plead with Medb to come with them. But Mini Cu tells them that's impossible as Medb can no longer bear the strain of forcibly interfering with parallel worlds. The group then escapes the collapsing castle, leaving Medb and Mini Cu to disappear together. Medb’s jewel appears in Mash’s hand. Illya returns Helena’s jewel to her. With all four jewels, the group can now bypass the black wall.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, World End Match: Connacht★Medb
Returning to the Neutral Zone, the group watches the black wall disappear. Illya, Ruby, and Sapphire fly up to get an overview of the First Lady’s kingdom. Sapphire senses a change in the castle. Illya asks what is when the First Lady's familiars approach. She, Ruby, and Sapphire rejoin the others and warn them of the approaching familiars.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway,Ietztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals I They eventually breakthrough and enter the First Lady's kingdom.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway,Ietztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals II
As they head closer to the First Lady's castle, the group is attacked by a large enemy force. Using power borrowed from Ruby and Sapphire, Illya initially tries to hold off the enemy herself so the others can go on ahead. She eventually exhausts herself, though, fighting so many enemies. Helena tells her to pull herself together and spanks her on the behind. She then confesses her surprise at how much spirit she has shown, having thought she was a fake Magical Girl before. Impressed by it, she takes over for Illya so the latter can meet with the First Lady with Ritsuka and Mash.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway,Ietztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals III
Inside the First Lady’s throne room, the group sees Chloe von Einzbern on the throne. Chloe reveals that she and Miyu have been in the Reality Marble for a very long time, though she’s been in it since the beginning. The group finds Miyu restrained by the Anti-Magical Girl Mystic Code, Voile de Deuil, part of which turns into hostile familiar when Mash tries to check Miyu’s condition. Chloe reveals that she secretly followed Illya and Miyu into the Mirror. She ended jumping into the Reality Marble but became trapped, arriving during the Magical Girls conflicts. She hid her presence but her magical energy soon depleted. That was when she met the First Lady through her familiar. She calls her appearance in the Reality Marble an inevitability as the First Lady turned her against Illya by calling her an accessory to Illya. Illya denies that, but Chloe projects a weapon in response and fights her.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway,Ietztes: The Land of Stars and Crystals IV
Their shared pain puts Chloe at a disadvantage when she reveals she is the First Lady’s vessel. The First Lady then possesses her. She explains her history and how her desire to spread the Magical Girls’ magic of love and hope throughout the world attracted Echoes to the Reality Marble. She attempted to use them to grant her wish by giving them temporary bodies and bodies, but it failed because they weren't real Magical Girls. That is when she met Chloe and made her into her vessel. With Miyu’s power, the First Lady will incarnate the Echoes into Magical Girls and spread them across parallel worlds to save people. She’ll soon absorb Miyu as Chloe resists assimilation with her. Miyu asks Illya to help Chloe and the First Lady both, saying the latter has an impossible wish in her heart. Chloe briefly takes back control of her body before the First Lady retakes control. The First Lady reveals her and Chloe’s desire for Miyu allowed her to break through the latter’s mental wall and fully control her body. Once Miyu is emotionally broken by seeing the group dead before her, she’ll use Miyu to reach infinite parallel worlds. The group then fights the First Lady to save her from herself.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, World End Match: First Lady
With the First Lady defeated, Chloe slowly regains control of her body, and Miyu is freed. Urged by Miyu, Illya confesses to the First Lady that she would be overwhelmed if she had the power to save the world. But if her friends and family are in danger, she will use her magic without hesitation. The First Lady sees her old self in Illya and recalls how she killed her best friend to protect the world when she refused to be a Magical Girl. Helena then arrives and takes everyone outside.Fate/Grand Order - Prisma Causeway, Epilog: The Windflower Blooming in the Breeze
There they encounter the passive Echo from before. Ruby has it possess Illya; the First Lady recognizes her as her friend Mila. Mila became an Echo since she was a Magical Girl, even if it was for a brief time. After Mila explains her circumstances, Helena convinces the First Lady to give her ownership of the Reality Marble so it can serve as a refuge for wounded Magical Girls to stop them from becoming like the First Lady. The First Lady and Mila then reconcile and disappear. Illya and Chloe find themselves holding hands. Illya expresses admiration for how Ritsuka and Mash can help others, even though they're suffering more than anyone. She believes only someone like that can save the world. Afterward, everyone uses the power of the jewels to return their respective worlds.
==== Parvati Trial Quest ====
Jaguar Man drags Illya with her when she confronts Parvati in a bamboo forest about joining Chaldea. Illya is confused that Jaguar Man calls her "Student Ex". Jaguar Man convinces her to help test Parvati's resolve to join Chaldea by saying she'll do her homework for a week if they win. They lose, leaving Illya disappointed that she has to do her homework herself. She is also left exhausted by Jaguar Man's antics, finding that she seems familiar. She leaves after Ritsuka says they'll do her homework.
==== Hokusai Trial Quest ====
Illya and Chloe appear in Ritsuka's dream of Edo under the names of Illysue and Kakuloe respectively. They are taking a leisure trip through the country with Old Meowster.
Old Meowster purchases a ukiyo-e from a suspicious merchant who claimed it was a genuine Katsushika Hokusai piece. She sensed it was painted by Hokusai's daughter, Oei, yet it had Hokusai's signature. So she sends out Kakuloe and Illysuke to find Oei to verify the piece.
Kakuloe and Illysuke eventually find Oei with Ritsuka and Suzuka Gozen on their way to Hosshou Temple. Calling Old Meowster, they have Oei verify the ukiyo-e. Oei confirms it is real, leading Old Meowster to believe that her appraisal was correct. Her feral instincts then kick in, as if ready for a fight. Illysuke tells it's too early for that, only for Old Meowster to shove her toe beans in her face. While Illysuke deals with that, Kakuloe tells Oei why they sought her out. Unfortunately, she triggers a fight with the group when Oei is angered by the implication that she is lying to herself about not caring whether the piece was made by Hokusai or not.
The fight stops though when Oei suddenly collapses. After being tended to by Suzuka and Illysuke, Oei confesses the piece was a collaboration between her and her father. Ever since then she has painted many pieces under her father's name. Illysuke wonders if that means some sections of the paintings are counterfeit, but Suzuka explains ukiyo-e are collaborative efforts in general. Therefore, the name "Katsushika Hokusai" is closer to a brand name. Oei then signs the piece as per Old Meowster's request after Ritsuka and Suzuka convince her. Ritsuka then asks about the art dealer that sold the piece. Illysuke recalls there were two and carried things labeled "Seiseidou" and "Kitsurudou". Oei recognizes those names as publishers from the Utagawa School, but she doesn't recall selling any Hokusai work to them. Learning she overpaid for the piece, Old Meowster asks Illysuke and Kakuloe to do a bit of erotic modeling for the Hokusai, for which they'll sign a royalty agreement. Illysuke and Kakuloe refuse, though Kakuloe jokes Illysuke may enjoy it.

==Abilities==
While she wields the Kaleidostick, Magical Ruby, she is granted A~Rank Magical Barrier, Physical Protection, Accelerated Healing and Increased strength. Due to her free spirited nature, Illya was also able to learn how to fly, a difficult technique, without effort, because she believes that "all magical girls can fly". This level of imagination can even allow her to move and speak in the body of a stuffed animal that her mind was transferred to.
Illya unlocking her powers as a Lesser Grail.gif|Illya unleashing high amounts of Magical Energy as she unlocks her powers as a Lesser grail.
Illya protecting Iri and Miyu.gif|Illya using pyramid to defend Iri and Miyu from Chloe.
As a Lesser Grail, Illya possesses unnaturally high magical output, though it is greatly reduced after Chloe was created. To compensate the loss in output, she devised ways to refine the shape and utilization of her attacks. An example is a technique called Schneiden, a thin blade of magical energy with high cutting power and low cost. Another example is how she has demonstrated a clever usage of her magical barriers. She created a barrier technique called Pyramid where she deployed a forward physical shield in the shape of a pyramidFate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 10: "The far side of lies and deceit" and used her barriers as forms of restraints.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 2wei! - Chapter 14: "Solo fight"
When wielding both Magical Ruby and Magical Sapphire, she is able to enter a new powerful form called Zwei Form. This transformation grants her an immeasurable boost in her magical girl abilities that makes her a match against Gil and Gilgamesh together. However, this takes an extreme toll on her body as it turns every part of her body, primarily the muscular, nervous, vascular and lymphatic tissues, into a Magic Circuit. Ruby points that such a form can potientially cease all her body functions, killing her which makes it a last resort.Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 5: "One Pinnacle"
She possesses a strong mental fortitude that makes her immune to brainwashing and can protect her memories and emotions in a conceptual space that Chloe left when the two separated. This strong will has also made her more resistant against Berserker's Mad Enhancement. 
After sacrificing herself to reset the timeline using Starlog, Illya now has reality warping powers, at least within the new world Darius Ainsworth sought, as shown when she destroyed a part of her house to show Darius the consequences of his wish. She is able to even restore Darius' whole, younger form. Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 74.2: "Welcome" 
===Skills===
====Class Skills====
*Magic Resistance (B Rank): A powerful magic boundary granted to the transforming Illya. Invalidates Magecraft with chant 3 verses or less.

Furthermore, during her transformed status her physical protection, healing acceleration, and physical ability and such are strengthened, exerting an effect to each of her status.
*Infinite Mana Supply (C Rank): A literally infinite supply of Magical Energy from the Kaleidostick. But due to the output being restrained by the user's own Magic Circuit's ability, Illya still yet to be able to show the stick's original power.
====Personal Skill====
*Cheerful Model Mystic Code (A Rank): The self-proclaimed Ruby. Formal name "Magical Ruby." It is made by the old geezer sorcerer of the jewel. Within the sorcery stick dwells a natural man-made Spirit. Unnaturally obsessed with magical girls; although it supports its user, it stubbornly refuses to accept things other than magical girls. As long as it's having fun, everything's fine. So, cheerful-type.
*Child of Nature (B Rank): A miracle born of her father, Kiritsugu Emiya and her mother, Irisviel, hoped to to live a normal life. Those miracle and love is bundled within the pure Illya, granting a blessing unto her.
:*Shining into the Future (A Rank): Upgrade from Child of Nature (Fate/Grand Order)
*Suspicious Medicine (A Rank): Ruby's handmade magic potion. Its effect is quite extraordinary, but you just can't have any confidence in it. At least until you drink it yourself anyway.
===Noble Phantasm===
Illyasviel's Noble Phantasm is Quintett Feuer.
==Forms and Alternate Versions==
===Swimsuit===
Even Magical Girls want to play!
Taking off and throw away her identity, the Magical Girl turns into a simple elementary school student who is fully prepared for this summer. She's somewhat more excited than normal, while her IQ and good luck is on the decline. To sum it up, it's Illya-san in comedy-mode. Although it general won't fare well for her, she would still not be deterred from showering people with her smiles and tears.
Ruby is in the process of shifting into "Splash Mode" in the form of a hose reel and nozzle. Even if its appearance has changed, the nuisance that, as always, flies about on its own here and there and disturbs the place, is still going strong. 
She also left the Cards behind in her room.
Illya had a sudden realization that day.
"While you are in Chaldea, you can have unlimited summers.....?"
The smart Illya-san is someone who made proper plan and would finish her homework in the first half of the summer vacation, however, that left her with nothing to do in the later half. Now, that later half is stretching on infinitely.
"It's fine to play now, isn't it......? Time for swimsuit......?"
The unexplainable desire to make merry and forget about her troubles is increasing every day. Speaking of which, during summer every year, a portion of the Servants gets a little loose in the head.
Miyu said it was "Some sort of endemic disease." What the, it's scary. Kuro said "The more serious the person normally is, the more serious their symptoms." Please stop scaring me. Ruby said "I'm going to give you a vaccination to prevent that." Wah, in that case I'm relieved.
"So you said but Ruby!? What was that injection...... It's hot! My body is......! My Spirit Origin is...... becoming Summer......!" 
Thus, she was transformed into a Swimsuit Spirit Origin.
====Personality====
Regardless of the circumstances, Illya, whose body and mind has changed into Summer, made it her top-most challenge to "go all out on the summer vacation with everything she has".
No matter where you bring her, she would gladly play around. It seems together with reasons', her restraints for food has also loosened, and she does things like talking excessively about food. "Basically I would eat anything. The meals are delicious." "I'm not getting fat. This is healthy growth." "......I said I'm not getting fat!"
====Abilities====
Class Skills:
*Magic Resistance (A Rank): A powerful magical barrier given to Illya during her transformation. Nullifies spells A rank or bellow. Modern day mages can't harm elementary school students who are having fun during summer vacation!
*Independent Action (B Rank): Ability to stay in the world for a while even if the supply of magical energy from the Master has been cut off.
*Infinite Mana Supply (C Rank): The kaleidostick literally supplies an infinite amount of magical energy. Illya suspects that her (slight) increase in weight has to do with an excessive supply of magical energy.
Personal Skills:
*High Pressure! (A Rank): A skill that raises the discharge power of the hose, increasing its water pressure. By the way, even though it's called "water", it is actually something that Ruby manufactered using its magical power to give it that summer feeling, what comes out of the nozzle changes from time to time as well.
*Summer Vacation! (Child) (A Rank): Elementary school students during summer vacation are invicible. (They feel) They could do anything, and (they feel) that they have all the time in the world.
*Regal Shower! (B++ Rank): Filled with Ruby-chan's carefully made herb extract (deadly poison). The volatile ingredients come into effect not only via skin contact, but also from inhaling them even just a little. "However, due to the sophisticated selective toxicity, it's not only harmless to Illya-san, but comes with the effect of raising her power of concentration!" While it contains ingredients that would make even a Hydra recoils in shock, it is totally harmless, so her parents can also be relieved.
====Noble Phantasm====
Illya's Noble Phantasm is Prisma☆Splash Rainbow!.
==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
Illyasviel von Einzbern and Illyasviel von Einzbern (Archer) were written and designed by Hiroshi Hiroyama in Fate/Grand Order.
===Comments from Illustrator===
====Illyasviel von Einzbern (Fate/kaleid)====
"Uniform -> normal form -> Zwei form. Because there're already stages of form change that fits the game system, curiously I didn't need to puzzled over it too much and just put the orthodox finishing touches. Because the normal form is the design from back then, I feel like some parts are really shoddy. But still, now that I have drawn for many years, I no longer fumble with the balance. The big mantle is a respect of sort to the first generation Kaleido Ruby. By the way, Illya already has, like, 8 different battle costumes already, so...wouldn't there be a Costume Dress unlock in the future? Please?" (Hiroshi Hiroyama)
====Illyasviel von Einzbern (Archer)====
"With the theme of Summer + Archer I knew I had to get fired up and think of something, but it felt like I had already run out of ideas! So after much thought I came up with the hose reel. Ruby's mood has been steadily getting worse yet she has become more and more popular. The mysterious cat headdress is made out of toweling not fur. The initial idea for her second ascension was a graceful style called "wrap towel" but for some reason the boss didn't approve of it. Damn! I think I overdid it with the facial expressions, but I drew the faces that I thought were necessary for Illya's role in the story, and this is what I came up with. I am grateful that they were able to be used effectively." (Hiroshi Hiroyama)
