Artoria Pendragon

This article refers to the NPC Artoria Pendragon. For the Koishi based off of the same character, see Koishi Pendragon.
Artoria Pendragon, aka Finder, is a character who debuted in Find the Koishis II.
== Canon Facts ==
Artoria hails from the Nasuverse, the shared writing bodies created by the company Type/Moon, and does not exist in Touhou canonicity. 
Saber (named as such because knowing her True Name, i.e. who she actually is, is a strategic weakness for her) is a Servant; a reincaration of a historical figure, usually a hero or otherwise force of good. In her case, she is the actual identity of King Arthur; her genderbent status actually has a role in Fate lore and storylines, but that's a tale for another day. At the end of her life, Artoria faced her treacherous "son" Mordred, who despite her felling managed to mortally wound her "father". Saber's death granted her room for the Servant system, as she had not yet gotten a room in the Throne of Heroes.
In the modern day, Saber's presence was invoked by a stray Shirou Emiya, who took her in as her Master in order to be protected from an onslaught by Lancer (who was attempting to execute Shirou as the then-beginning Holy Grail War needed to have no witnesses (despitethefactyoucantreallycoverupthedamageitcaused)). From that point on, the story of her debut game Fate stay/night diverges depending on the route the player takes.
She is the wielder of Excalibur, among the strongest Noble Phantasms (associated equipment) in existence; however, it's mere status as being corporeal is Saber's weakness, so she has to conceal it with a secondary Noble Phantasm known as Invisible Air.
== FTK Facts ==
No explanation is given for why Artoria is present in New Heresy. Even then, it is implied the player is merely speaking to a variant of Artoria, given that her class is not "Saber", but rather "Finder". 
For whatever reason, Finder-Artoria is identical to Saber-Artoria, other than a more abrasive personality.
Finder's only set of dialogue is asking the player for something to eat, as she apparently forgot to consume anything before going out, though all of her options lead to her either disappointingly musing to herself or rejecting whatever the player had planned to give her.
== Dialogue ==
=== "Yeah, sure, I got some." ===
=== "None." ===
=== "You're that King I've heard about? Wouldn't you be more of a queen?" ===
== Trivia ==
* Finder's dialogue is written in stereotypical English slang, likely to reinforce her British nationality (even though King Arthur apparently predates the concept of England or a unified British nation).
* SEIBAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
* Finder's status as being a fully identical copy of Artoria is in reference to Fate's "Saberface" phenomenon, in which characters are drawn to resemble Saber (examples include Nero Claudius, Jeanne d'Arc and Mordred) simply because character designer Takashi Takeuchi enjoys Artoria's design. 
** This seems to be something the series is embracing, as the game Fate/Grand Order includes multiple variants of Artoria to collect, including Artoria in the Lancer, Rider, Berserker, and Caster roles, and Artoria's "Alter" form first encountered in the Heaven's Feel route (which itself has two sub-variants).
** It is worth mentioning there is a "Saberface" in the game Azur Lane (a game that FTK2 references plentifully) in the form of HMS Renown. Likely intentionally, she is also voiced by Ayako Kawasumi (Saber's Japanese VA in essentially all Fate media).
* She is currently the sole non-Touhou NPC in Find the Koishis II that can be interacted with.
* When first greeted, Artoria mentions a place known as "Fuyuki" presumably comparison to the horrendous state of New Heresy. Fuyuki City is the primary setting of the "primary timeline" of the Fate franchise, which includes Fate/Zero and Fate/hollow ataraxia.
* Finder's response when taking the "You're the King I've heard about?" dialogue option is a reference to this video.
