The legendary queen that anyone would have heard of at least once. Till today, she remains a mystery, shrouded in enigma.Fate/Grand Order Profile of the Queen of Sheba, translated by roadromancer at Reddit.
She is mentioned in the book of of the , and in the . An enigmatic queen ruling over the "", located south of Jerusalem. However, there is no precise evidence to ascertain the existence of the Queen and her kingdom. At one of the kingdom's possible sites, Ethiopia, there is a wondrous national myth that the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon wedded, and the Queen became the matriarch of their first empire.
===Appearance===
Both her ears and tail feel velvety and fluffy. An uncertain existence like a mirage; no, it is perhaps for that reason, that the Queen of Sheba is recorded as a "Peerless Beauty" in many legends, rivaling the majesty of King Solomon himself. Yes, she is indeed a beautiful woman, but for some reason, there's a rather unfortunate vibe to her... of course, no one can understand.
Also, many regions have legends about her having an inhuman figure. Arabians said “the Queen had furry legs and donkey hooves”, Southern French said “her feet were webbed like a goose’s”, etc. The correct version is the story that says that she is the daughter of a female djinn and a human man. It’s also believed that the Queen possesses a shapeshifter’s power to have a variety of appearances, as if she were a light-refracting lens.

===Personality===
First, she is one who thrives on prosperous business. There is no tolerance for greedy, pointless expenditure. Profits dealing with money and treasure; they are the very blood and breath that circulate through her mind and body. She very much lives and breathes money, treasure, business connection, and get-rich-quick schemes. Even so, the act she puts on is intentional, having seen into the future, and one must bear in mind that all of this may also be a possible sham. An optimist with a calm and carefree demeanor. Except she’s very predatory when it comes to money. She remembers clearly what people said ages ago and brings that up again the most critical moments.
She has a self-deprecating side regarding how, contrary to her glamorous legends, her own past was nothing but modest. And she strongly values modest stories of everyday life. She has powers of future precognition, originated from her djinn bloodline. It’s implied that her meeting with Solomon in the legends was actually an intense mentally draining Clairvoyance vs Clairvoyance battle, where they would go through the three enigmas adapting to what was becoming settled as the future and the past.
===Motives and attitude towards Master===
When dealing with her Master, she’s fully respectful to the relationship in their contract and finds this very refreshing. If their deepening bonds eventually cause any changes in the Queen’s heart, those will be too minor to be noticed.

When SHEBA detected Raum in the Salem Singularity, it used itself as a catalyst to summon Sheba into Salem. She was able to slow the Singularity's progress, but it cost her most of her powers.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Salem: The Forbidden Advent Garden, Section 8: Final Knot This resulted in her being manipulated into truly believing she was Tituba.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Salem: The Forbidden Advent Garden, Section 5: Fourth Knot
After being destroyed as the ghoul Tituba, Sheba is freed of the role and returns to her original self. She then set up a campsite and Bounded Field in the woods. Afterwards, she saves Mash from a pack of ghouls when the latter go lost after getting seperated from Randolph Carter. She takes her to her campsite, and from within its Bounded Field, Mash sees that time in Salem is speeding up.
Later, she arrives to help Ritsuka, Robin Hood, Nezha, Circe, and Abigail Williams with ghouls. She forms a temporary contract with Ritsuka. After the ghouls are slain, she introduces herself. She then takes the group to her campsite, where they're reunited with Mash. Mata Hari, who was hanged as a witch, is revealed to be alive. She survived thanks to taking Circe's fake death medicine beforehand, cushioning her neck, and Circe keeping the blood flowing in her head. Circe also explains there is a will controlling the Witch Trials. If Mata Hari left without atoning for her sin or facing justice, it is assumed the others wouldn't have reunited with Mash.
Mash reveals to the others what she observed from within the camp's Bounded Field. This distortion in the time stream near Salem's perimeter is why Robin lost track of Mash and Carter. She also tells the group how she and Sheba met. Circe theorizes Salem is displaced by connecting to another in a different time flow, so less energy is used. Sheba reveals someone summoned her, but she became trapped in Salem and forced into the role of Tituba. After dying as Tituba, she became a ghoul that the others destroyed. She wouldn't have stayed materialized if Ritsuka didn't temporarily contract with her. She also reveals she was manipulated into truly believing she was Tituba. Circe realizes communications with Chaldea were restored once Tituba died.
As they're supposed to be dead, Sheba and Mata Hari stay at the campsite while the others return to Salem. Sheba deduces Mata Hari chose to stay because she's suspcious of her. She confesses she didn't tell the truth of Salem because sharing such information is dangerous for her. She agrees to tell the truth in exchange for Mata Hari recalling her memories of Romani Archaman.
Later, Mash reveals most of the villager's names, including Carter's, aren't on the list of Salem residents. The group realize they need to keep an eye on Abigail due to her connections to the Witch Trials. Nezha then senses evil in the village, so the group (except Sheba and Mash) rush over there.
When Lavinia Whateley splashes Carter with the Powder of Ibn-Ghazi to reveal him to be Raum in disguise, it disables the town hall's Bounded Field, allowing Sheba to enter in her true form. The villagers then turn into ghouls, having been so the entire time. Raum reveals Abigail summoned the participants of the Witch Trials into Salem. Abigail transforms upon seeing Sheba. As the group hold Abigail off, Lavinia reveals Sut-Typhon is about to descend. Raum transforms into his true self. With Sut-Typhon's impending descension, magical energy is being rapidly consumed across the continent, primarly in heavily populated areas. As the phenomenon threatens the basis of magecraft, Chaldea will seal Salem from the outside with multiple bounded fields. If the group fail to resolve the situation with the limited time they have, Chaldea will destroy everything there. The group then fight and defeat Raum.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Salem: The Forbidden Advent Garden, Section 7: Sixth Knot
Raum transforms back into his raven-headed Carter self. His head tears itself off, transforming into a full raven. He mortally wounds Lavinia, and Robin fatally shoots him. He warns dimensional gates are already open everywhere. Abigail then crushes him under her heel. With the last of her humanity gone, she is now possessed by Sut-Typhon. The group fight her to stop her plan to connect everyone to each other and her so she can bring eternal pain to them. Sheba reveals Abigail is a Servant, albeit one who controls Salem's magical energy. Abigail then breaks through the bounded fields that were keeping her from the rest of the world, effectively giving her an unlimited source of magical energy. Sheba realizes Abigail isn't using the gates to their fullest potential, as she isn't yet fully fused with Sut-Typhon. She and Circe then create a barrier inside the town hall, dispelling the spell that weakened the group. With their full power restored, they fight Abigail again. After she is defeated, Abigail is disconnected from Sut-Typhon. She shares some words with Lavinia before the latter dies.
The next day, the group help Abigail bury Lavinia. The Mist surrounding Salem is also dissipating. Mata Hari deduces Raum used Abigail as the core of his fake Salem. Sheba reveals the people of modern Salem are weakened, but they'll return to normal once they cross the Mist. Circe reveals Abigail will disappear with Salem as she is a Pseudo-Servant created within it. Once it disappears, she will vanish along with it. Carter then appears, though he introduces himself as the "Gentleman Who Travels Through Time and Space". He explains that while he was dealing with another threat through his sleep, Raum possessed body. He assumes it was done to ensure no one could infiltrate Salem due his deep connection to the land. He then reveals he came to Salem because of Abigail. The fake Salem then begins to crumble, so the group head to the town center where they'll have more time.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Salem: The Forbidden Advent Garden, Section 9: Epilogue: Salem
There the Gentleman tells Abigail she is a living Sliver Key; she can open gates across space and time, and travel between them freely. He offers to seal her powers away, erase some of her memories, and take her to any period she desires. He also offers to let her come with him, and travel across space and time. After much consideration, Abigail chooses to travel with him. After they leave, Sheba disappears with Circe, essentially telling Ritsuka and Mash to keep moving forward no matter what comes.

Fate/Grand Order - Queen of Sheba's 2nd Interlude: The Three Djinn's Report
==Abilities==
Queen of Sheba is half-Human, half-Djinn. The Djiin of the desert is just a different name used to refer to Elementals, Holy Spirits, and Demon Gods. Since their blood runs through her veins, the Queen of Sheba has resistance to Demon God Pillars like Raum. She implies to have handled Demon God Pillars in the past, which may be why she is overconfident in her resistance to them. That is why she ended up getting trapped by Raum in the Salem Subcategory Singularity and turned into Tituba. Nevertheless, she claims that fighting a Pillar is just like riding a bike. 
Queen of Sheba's name is known far and wide. There are many songs about her meeting with King Solomon, however, none disclose any information about her beyond her name. Georgios regards her as an individual full of wisdom and Divinity.
===Combat===
Queen of Sheba's primary weapon is an incense burner made of gold. She uses it to scatter incense smoke and manipulate it.
When forced to fight Jaguar Man to calm her down, Queen of Sheba asks Ritsuka Fujimaru for support. The two working together are able to defeat Jaguar Man.
===Magecraft===
*Clairvoyance: Queen of Sheba has powers of future precognition, originated from her Djinn bloodline. That is why Chaldea's Near-Future Observation Lens is named after her. However, Queen of Sheba's ability isn't perfect. She explains that revealing the future can change what may happen, making some things more likely than others. Part of the reason she ended up getting trapped by Raum in the Salem Subcategory Singularity is that she held on to too much knowledge and secrets. It is implied that her meeting with Solomon in the legends was actually an intense mentally draining Clairvoyance vs Clairvoyance battle, where they would go through the three enigmas adapting to what was becoming settled as the future and the past.
*Bounded Field: Queen of Sheba casted a barrier in Salem's courtroom with the help of Circe. The two Casters working together were able to seal away Abigail Williams' gates and contain the full force of all the torment she was directing at the outside World.
*Illusions: Queen of Sheba can lend some of her power to others, as shown when she created an illusion that allowed Mata Hari to disguise herself as Medea.
===Skills===
====Class Skills====
*Magic Resistance (A Rank): Negates magecraft of Rank A or lower. Modern mages can’t hurt the Queen with magecraft.
*Territory Creation (C Rank): As a magician, she can construct a territory beneficial to her. She becomes the queen of a small kingdom concealed by an ephemeral, often unstable mirage.
====Personal Skills====
*Eye of the Spirits (A Rank): The formation of a barrier in the surroundings through firm, and fair transactions. Not just the appraisal of material things, even the suspicious conduct of enemies during battle cannot escape from her eyes. Queen of Sheba explains that it's not entirely accurate to say that she has resistance to Demon God Pillars. Rather than being unaffected, she affects others. Once she focuses her attention on a specific place, it becomes impossible to make vague or otherwise ill-defined deals and agreements there. In essence, she creates a "Kingdom of Sheba" where her word is law wherever she goes. The Bounded Fields she creates are no exception. For example, she can make a deal so that as long as she is in the Salem's courtroom, nothing Ritsuka Fujimaru does will be considered unlawful by the religious precepts. In other words, his Servants and him became immune to the Mist's intelligence debuff. Queen of Sheba was able to slow down the time stream inside Raum's Bounded Field when she first infiltrated Salem. However, doing so exhausted her, which greatly reduced the potency of her abilities to the point she could be brainwashed and tranformed into Tituba. 
*Wisdom of the Demon God (A Rank): The blessed sharp wit and sagacity that made her capable of challenging King Solomon with riddles.
*Charisma (B- Rank): The legendary queen of the "Kingdom of Sheba" that captivated people even of future times.
===Noble Phantasm===
Sheba's Noble Phantasm is Three Enigmas. Djinn triplets obedient to the Queen appear and present difficult (physical) challenges to the enemy.
==Forms and Alternate Versions==

==Development==
===Creation and Conception===
Queen of Sheba was designed by Katou Itsuwa in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Meteo Hoshizora in Fate/Grand Order. 
===Comment from illustrator===
"I am Katou Itsuwa, the character designer. I remember well putting a lot of energy into this design, in gratitude to my permission to add animal years and horns right in my very first work here. There’s something of an origin story to my little djinns. At first, I considered doing them in a more “genie of the lamp” style, but I couldn’t due to circumstances including an already released character doing exactly that. This lead to me just drawing whatever I wanted and those getting used as they were. It’s very pleasant to see than in action as a real Noble Phantasm." (Katou Itsuwa)
