Namie Yagiri

**Namie Yagiri** is the master of Archer in the ??? Holy Grail war.

## Profile

### Background

Namie Yagiri is the former chief of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals who currently works as Izaya Orihara's secretary. She possesses Celty Sturluson's head before she is forced to hand it over to Izaya in exchange for protection.

### Appearance

Namie is a curvaceous young woman with brown eyes and long dark brown hair that she wears down. Her facial expression is usually stoic or angry. She wears a long white lab coat over a dark red mini skirt, black tights, and a green turtleneck with a lighter green ribbed neck and sleeves.

### Personality

Namie is portrayed throughout the series as a direct and strong woman - she works hard to get what she wants, and no matter what, she will get it. Her personality is seen as very demanding and cold, and she only ever shows kindness and gentleness to her little brother, for whom she holds incestuous feelings.

She believes that everything around her is fake, especially the feelings of others. People in relationships only take and never give, and the only exception lies in her feelings for Seiji. Her twisted love for him is displayed at varying points in the series, as she goes to insane lengths to protect and support him no matter what the cost may be to her and the people around them.

### Relationships

#### Shockwave

Her Servant in the Holy Grail War. On the surface, they had a relatively stable working relationship. However, Shockwave cared little for her well being beyond being his anchor to the material world and a useful tool in his plans, keeping the truth of his end goal withheld from her. In turn, she suspected there was more to him and his plans than he lets on, but didn't learn to what extent until it was too late. He saw her tendencies for letting her emotions best her as a liability, especially when it came to Seiji. When she discovered Shockwave's goal would see Earth assimilated into his Cybertronian empire and the entire human race snuffed out, her and Seiji included, she could only react in shock at the sheer magnitude of what she unwittingly helped bring about. Ultimately, when he established a way of sustaining his prana without their contract holding him down, he disposes of her after she is of no further use to him.

## Role

### Fate/Deus Ex

Namie Yagiri becomes the Master of Archer in the ??? Holy Grail War. Her wish for the grail is for her love for Seiji to be requited. She and Archer uses her resources from Yagiri Pharmaceuticals to gain whatever advantage they can in the war. However, she failed to realize the true gravity of Archer's endgame and what it entailed until it was far too late. In the end, she was betrayed by her own Servant, who promptly seized control over her assets to initiate the next phase of his plan.

## Abilities

While she has been shown to be somewhat physically capable, Namie's real strengths lie with her intellect. Namie is shown to be adept at manipulating others and turning the situation in her favor, even catching Izaya off guard at times. Her extensive knowledge of medicine also makes her extremely proficient with poison. Unfortunately, Namie is prone to letting her emotions get the better of her. This, combined with her arrogant nature, causes her to underestimate those who would pose a significant threat to her, such as Mikado Ryugamine, Mika Harima, and especially Archer.
