Luviagelita Edelfelt

, or simply as she is better known colloquially, is a character first introduced in Fate/hollow ataraxia as the rival of Rin Tohsaka. She is a recurring supporting character in Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files and The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II. As part of the El-Melloi Classroom, she is one of the many Masters of True Rider in the True and False Holy Grail Wars of Fate/strange Fake.
==Profile==
===Background===
Daughter of a distinguished lineage of magi, the Edelfelt, Luviagelita is their young and talented family head. As the Edelfelt family always have two heirs each generation, she has a younger twin sister, who is her complete opposite as a quiet introvert who stays in Finland. Her marriage has already been arranged, and it is a thing of mutual love.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 3: case. Twin Towers of Iselma (Lower) - Epilogue
She became acquainted with Rin Tohsaka after she began to study in the Clock Tower after the Fifth Holy Grail War. She finds in Rin a worthy rival due to their similarities; their encounters always result in fierce clashes. After a year together, a silent agreement was forged within the Department of Mineralogy of Clock Tower that "Tohsaka and Edelfelt must not attend classes together". The facade that she built for herself was withering away after a decade of use and her bad temper was already starting to appear, but after Rin showed up her daily life improved.
On a certain occasion, Luvia tried to reserve all 28 rooms in the top floor of the Norwich Students Dormitory entirely for herself, but that became impossible when Rin also asked for a room in the same floor. After a series of events that resulted in the recommendation letter that Rin got from a Lord being torn apart, a big fight broke out and a reception desk was destroyed in the process. Afterwards, both were forbidden from ever entering the dormitory again.Fate/hollow ataraxia - Night - Emiya's - In London So because boarding houses are too small, she bought a European-style mansion for herself to live in.
===Appearance===
Luvia has long golden blonde hair styled entirely in large coils. She physically resembles Rin somewhat, furthering speculation that the younger Edelfelt sister from the Third Holy Grail War may have married into the Tohsaka family.
Similar to Rin, she wears ribbons in her hair. In contrast to her rival, Luvia's signature colour is blue; she wears a long blue dress with sleeves that are easily detachable for combat purposes.
In Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files, she appears in her late teens and could not have been more than 17 or 18 years old. Her bright blue dress was reminiscent of the color of the sky. A ribbon of the same color kept her golden blonde hair in ringlets, and in her hand was an ivory handled parasol.

===Personality===
As long as Rin Tohsaka is not nearby, Luvia's attitude is always graceful, never blaspheming and displaying a beauty similar to that of a swan. Of course, that is all just a facade; as she is actually very competitive and suffers from perfectionist tendencies.
Although wealthy, Luvia does not tolerate excessive spending. However, she knows that such spending of money is meaningful because aristocrats are aristocrats. She understands that commoners do not have good views about the aristocrats, but loves them strongly because she understands them. She accepts that her fate is to marry a high-class gentleman of noble birth, but her personal tastes are more towards a simple man.
In the past, she had a strong immoderate hatred towards Lord El-Melloi II where Luvia went as far as to hire a Spellcaster, Flueger, to take the request in putting an end to El-Melloi II's reputation as a lord. After having her magecraft aided by El-Melloi II's advice in escaping the Castle of Separation's magic security system and listening to his personal feelings over Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's death, Luvia grew some newfound respect for the lord and requested him to become her tutor.
She has a high elitism attitude as a noble and has always seen others from above. Luvia could not help loving professional wrestling deeply.

Later, she becomes hostile to Lord El-Melloi II after he begins to openly analyze the Edelfelt magecraft. By explaining the theory and details of her magecraft, the mystery becomes weakened, which causes its power to diminish, causing Luvia to tell him to be silent.
She later attempts to take control of Geryon Ashborn's workshop using her magecraft. Though partially successful, this ends up triggering Adra Castle' defense system, which causes her to be trapped in the castle along with Lord El-Melloi II and Gray.

Reines mentions the time that Luvia and Rin fell off the Tower of London and were saved by Shirou.The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 1: The Man Who Devoured God - Interlude
Flat arrives and reminds Reines that Rin asked them not to let Luvia know about Taiga, or else Luvia may try to bribe Taiga for information about Shirou. But as soon as Flat says this he realizes Luvia is in the room, and Luvia angrily attacks Flat and chases him out.

====Legacy of the Alchemist====
Several generations ago, the Edelfelts had rebuilt a secret entrance in the Egyptian desert that leads to a secret underwater Library of Alexandria. When Luvia came to Egypt with Reines and Latio, rather than join them on Atlas and the Clock Tower's joint expedition of the library she took her ancestors' secret entrance instead to tackle the dungeon herself. Before leaving she told Sion Eltnam Sokaris about the secret entrance in exchange for information about Atlas. Though Sion calls the Edelfelts graverobbers, Luvia calls them "adventurers".
Sion, Rin, and Ergo later use the secret entrance themselves, and run into Luvia in the library's third layer where she is battling the library's mechanical guardians.The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 4: Legacy of the Alchemist (Upper) - Intermission Rin and Luvia fight Karmaglyph Meluastea Deluc, the Lord of the Department of Mineralogy in which they are both students.The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 5: Legacy of the Alchemist (Lower) - Chapter 5

Luvia is one of the representatives of the El-Melloi Classroom who travel to Snowfield during the True and False Holy Grail Wars after the death of Flat Escardos and the emergence of Thia Escardos. She is one of the masters of Hippolyta along with the rest of the El-Melloi Classroom, having been granted a portion of a Command Spell by Verner.Fate/strange Fake Volume 7 - Bridge Chapter: "Beginning of the End" In response to Rin making a pirate organization in Singapore, she made a PMC.
===Fate/unlimited codes===
She is given the title in Fate/unlimited codes. She is one of the three hidden characters in the arcade mode.
She was informed by the Edelfelt elder about their defeat in the Third Holy Grail War. She shares the same opinion with her elders that Fuyuki is a city lacking in charm and history. She decided to participate the Holy Grail War to avenge the disgrace of her predecessor in order to win the title. However she acknowledges that the previous head of the family was too interested in elegance and extravagance to which she does not share such conceit. She decided to perform her showmanship by giving everything in order to defeat the enemy and to give her fans a good show. She looks forward to challenge Rin Tohsaka as she considers the Edelfelts are the world's most beautiful hunters and her skills are not to be taken lightly. She corrects herself when she almost calls herself as the world's beautiful hyena.
She encounters Berserker and Illyasviel von Einzbern, she is impressed with Berserker's muscle as she can tell him to be skilled at combat and very agile. She identifies Berserker as a wrestler with the striking force of a heavyweight, yet the speed and explosiveness of a welterweight. She acknowledges Berserker as a famous warrior and gets excited. She asked for his name, affiliation and active location. Illya calls her an idiot but she can tell Luvia was a magus and possibly a friend of Rin or her accomplice. Luvia reacted negatively with Illya's statement and she calls her a homunculus scum. Illya further calls her an idiot and she describes Luvia to resembles Rin and question if they are two step-sisters. Luvia was so offended that she may pass out and she cannot lose her cool until she defeated her enemy, she gave Illya a chance to take back those words. However Illya refused to take back her words and questions whether Luvia can take on Berserker. Luvia can tell Illya is from a good lineage but she considers her to have an air of country bumpkin. Luvia explains that the results of a battle cannot be judged solely on strength, the winner is the one who tries their best, who challenges themselves beyond their limits and the winner is the one who ignores all sense of instinct and pride. Although Illya considers a different kind of stupid from Rin but Illya thought she was kind of cool. Luvia defeats Berserker as she considers knocking out your opponent out cold would get them to shut up more quickly. It took a lot of effort for Luvia to throw Berserker but she is grateful to have had the opportunity to fight him.
She encounters Rin in her last battle. Rin was surprise that Luvia managed to arrive even though she was not a Master, she doesn't care about the Holy Grail and Luvia just wants to challenge Rin. Rin figured Luvia was someone who could take care of herself in a fight, but she didn't predicted her getting this far. Luvia declares she is the person who was selected to avenge her family defeat to the Tohsaka family in the last generation and she has absolutely no interest in the Grail. Her goal was to simply out perform Rin on the battlefield, and defeat Rin with her two fists. Rin finds it meddlesome to be targeted by a noble family. Luvia expressed that Rin is her rival and it was harmonious to have two such extremes to go head-to-head. Rin is uncertain whether it was harmony or fate but she is certain she is incompatible with Luvia like oil and water. Rin figures all there is left is to fight and Rin makes a rule that the loser has to listen to the winner. Luvia accepts this final battle until one of them can no longer fight and she won't stand for any whining when Rin loses.
Luvia kept coming in to grab Rin no matter how many punches or kicks. Luvia had caught Rin in holds, threw her down, and tried to break her, but Rin stood up with a smile on her face every time. After Luvia defeats Rin, the two collapse on the floor. They both complimented each other and became interested in each other as they questioned what kind of diet and training they have gone through. They both laughed and built a strange friendship in this battle. They agreed that it's pretty ridiculous to be having these kinds of fights at their age and this petty stubbornness between them is a sign of immaturity. Rin wonders why Luvia nickname is "Lady Forklift" and not "Forklift Lady". Luvia decided to teach Rin about "showmanship" as she does not know much about professional wrestling.
===Capsule Servant===
She is encountered in both Shirou's route and Rin's route. She proclaims herself as a girl genius who will one day become queen of not only the Capsaba world, but also the wrestling ring.
She considers hiring Shirou as an apprentice butler when he gave her advice to start her dream small. Shirou rejected the proposition of becoming her apprentice butler because he already knew what he wanted to be. Luvia was impressed with his sense of purpose and offered Shirou to become her manager if he wins.
Rin tells Luvia that she can be only be number 2 in the world as long as Rin existed and she doesn't care about the wrestling ring. Luvia considers Rin to be her rival and challenges her to an open-weight division no-time-limit single-round electrified barbed-wire deathmatch.

Luvia specializes in Jewel Magecraft just like Rin, and is a Finn who is an expert in the use of the Gandr shooting curse and also in Reinforcement Magecraft as it does to fight Rin in the epilogue of Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works].
She is also trained in the England-original Lancashire-style of martial combat (which is quite similar to pro-wrestling) and received the nicknames of "Hunting Dog of the Ring" and the "Forklift Lady" for it. Usually wears a blue dress, the sleeves of said dress are optional attachments that can be easily and quickly removed in times of battle.
She has one hundred Magic Circuits, though how many are natural or part of her Crest is unknown. She also showed the ability to gather enough magical energy to "obliterate even the likes of lower ranked Phantasmal Species". She used this energy in conjunction with some of her jewels that she gathers at her fingertip to launch an attack called "The Edelfelt's Kaleidoscope" to test Flue, destroying an entire wall and the floor in doing so.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 1: case. Adra Castle Separation - Chapter 3 translated by TwilightsCall
Her Element Affinity is Earth. Unlike Rin, she is not an Average One with an affinity for all five elements, but her ability to unleash a wide variety of magecraft through the use of a plethora of gems gives her a level of skill that is not at all inferior.
Under the tutelage of Karmaglyph Meluastea Deluc, she and Rin develop together a shared synegetic spell, Royal Circuit, based on the magecraft Luvia uses in tandem with her twin sister. They both cast three jewels into a shared magic circle, turning them into magical energy supplies for each other. By making their gems into external Magic Circuits for each other, hence the name, the two can perfectly analyze each other's spells and choose a spell that adds to what the other built up or covers up the previous composition's shortcomings. In short, power multiplied by positive synergy.The Adventures of Lord El-Melloi II Volume 8: Fem's Casa (Lower) - Chapter 5
