But outside of combat, she was said to have not known the hearts of others; having only nurture her fighting spirit but not of her “humanity” as well as only fighting for her lord and not for herself, causing her to eventually be chased by her brother and being lead to her death along with her many retainers.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
===Noble Phantasm===
Shana-oh's Wandering Tales: The Noble Phantasm of Ushikwakamaru. The embodiment of numerous legends that were born after she became known by her later name as Minamoto no Yoshitsune and traveled to Oshu in her lifetime, manifesting in the form of five special techniques:
*Eye of Shiva - Detecting the Six Secret Teachings: This technique allows Ushiwakamaru to forcibly relocate everyone on the field, including herself and her allies. This is used in order to create an overwhelming advantage for allies while putting her enemies at a staggering disadvantage.
*Usumidori - Short Steps With The Heavenly Blade: A brilliant and simple slash using her sword, Usumidori. As she was taught the martial arts stepping technique, Shukuchi, by a Tengu, she incorporates it into this technique, making it an extremely fast and difficult to avoid slash as she is able to quickly reduce the distance between herself and the opponent.
*Benkei - Steadfast Position: A technique Ushiwakamaru can use to recreate an imitation of Musashibou Benkei's body alone. Its defense increases the more faith Ushiwakamaru has in Benkei, allowing it to be made into a strong and sturdy shield that can block up to even B-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasms.
*Jumping the Eight Ships at Dan-no-ura: The manifestation of Ushiwakamaru's feat of leaping eight boats displayed at Dan-no-ura. No matter how difficult the terrain, leaping movements are possible as long as there is even the slightest foothold. This technique also enhances Ushiwakamaru's jumping power, granting her tremendous jumping power and enable her to leap at great leagues.
*Hoemaru - Spider Slayer: Ushiwakamaru's ultimate technique which unleashes her true power, repelling demons in the area and inflicting damage according to its sonic attack.
* Kikenjō - Icicle Cutting: A secret technique of Ushiwakamaru's that is apart of her Noble Phantasm despite not being listed as such, based on the feat of cutting down arrows shot at her as if she was cutting down icicles falling down on her. It is a primary defense attack able to cut apart any attack thrown her way, mainly in the form of projectiles, which is powerful enough for Ushiwakamaru to cut apart even those made from Ibaraki-douji.
===Class Skills===
*Magic Resistance: A passive ability that grants protection against magical effects. It cancels magical effects used against the target altogether, including indirect attacks such as Petrification and Mind Manipulation. Ushiwakamaru's C-Rank allows her to cancel spells with a chant below two verses, but cannot defend against Magecraft on the level of High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals.
*Riding: The Class Skill of Rider and Saber, is the ability to ride mounts. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank, and A-rank can allow for Phantasmal Beasts and Divine Beasts to be mounted. Having ridden into battles with horses in her life including a horse mount of her own named “Tayuuguro”, Ushiwakamaru holds an A+ rank in this skill. Thus allowing her to ride all vehicles and beasts including those on the level of Phantasmal Beasts and Divine Beasts, though Dragons are beyond her reach and control.
===Personal Skills===
*Charisma: The natural talent to command an army, which increases the ability of allies during group battles. As Ushiwakamaru was a famous commander once described as a "monster", it was said that she possessed a feeling of which no one liked yet those who got close to her were charmed to fight alongside her, denoting this skill to C+-rank.
*Tengu's Art of War: Ushiwakamaru's personal skill, formed from the anecdote of being taught the art of war from a Tengu, an inhuman existence, during the time when she spent living inside a temple in her younger life. This skill provides bonuses to close-combat power such as swordsmanship, archery, and spearmanship, as well as Skills such as Military Tactics and Magic Resistance.
*Quick-Witted Swallow: A skill that represents the nimble and light body of Ushiwakamaru, which has been said to be compared to that of a swallow. This is denoted due to her battle in life against Benkei at Gojo Ohashi, where she was able to trade slashes with the latter while avoiding all of his attacks before eventually defeating him in their encounter
