### Identity

**Saber**'s true identity is that of **Lê Lợi,** he was a Vietnamese rebel leader who founded the Later Lê dynasty and became the first king of the restored kingdom of Đại Việt after the country was conquered by the Ming dynasty. In 1418, Lê Lợi and his followers rose up against Ming rule. Nine years later, his resistance movement successfully drove the Ming armies out of Vietnam and restored Vietnamese independence. Lê Lợi is among the most famous figures of Vietnamese history and one of its greatest heroes.

Many legends and stories were told about Lê Lợi, with his most famous story concerns his magical sword. Much like King Arthur and his sword Excalibur, Lê Lợi was said to have a magic sword of wondrous power. One story tells that he obtained the sword, inscribed with the words 'The Will of Heaven' (Thuận Thiên) from the Dragon King (Long Vương), a demi-god to the local people, who decided to lend his sword to Lê Lợi. But there was a catch: the sword did not come straight to him in one piece.

It was split into two parts: a blade and a sword hilt. First, in Thanh Hóa province, there was a fisherman named Lê Thận, who was not related to Lê Lợi in any way. One night, his fishing net caught something heavy. Thinking of how much money he would get for this big fish, he became very excited. However, his excitement soon turned into disappointment when he saw that his catch was a long, thin piece of metal which had somehow become entangled to the net. He threw it back into the water, and recast the net at a different location. When he pulled the net in, the metal piece had found its way back into the net. He picked it up and threw it far away with all its strength. The third time the fishing net came up, the same thing happened, the metal piece was once again caught in the net. Bewildered, he brought his lamp closer and carefully examined the strange object. Only then did he notice that it was the missing blade of a sword. He took the blade home and not knowing what to do with it, put it in the corner of his house. Some years later, Lê Thận joined the rebel army of Lê Lợi, where he quickly rose in ranks. Once, the general visited Lê Thận's home. Lê Thận's house lacked lighting, so everything was dark. But as though it was sensing the presence of Lê Lợi, the blade at the corner of the house suddenly emitted a bright glow. Lê Lợi held up the blade and saw two words manifesting before his very eye: Thuận Thiên. With Lê Thận's endorsement, Lê Lợi took the blade with him.

One day, while on the run from the enemy, Lê Lợi saw a strange light emanating from the branches of a banyan tree. He climbed up and there he found a hilt of a sword, encrusted with precious gems. Remembering the blade he found earlier, he took it out and placed it into the hilt. The fit was perfect. Believing that the Heaven had entrusted him with the great cause of freeing the land, Lê Lợi took up arms and rallied people under his banner. For the next few years, the magic sword brought him victory after another. His men no longer had to hide in the forest, but aggressively penetrated many enemy camps, captured them and seized their granaries. The sword helped them push back the enemy, until Vietnam was once again free from Chinese rule. Lê Lợi ascended the throne in 1428, ending his 10-year campaign, and reclaimed independence for the country. The stories claim Lê Lợi grew very tall when he used the sword and it gave him the strength of many men. Other stories say that the sword blade and the sword hilt came together from different places, the blade fished out of a lake, the hilt found by Lê Lợi himself.

The stories largely agree on what happened to the sword: One day, not long after the Chinese had accepted Vietnam as independent, Lê Lợi was out boating on a lake in Hanoi. The golden turtle, Kim Quy, advanced toward the boat and the king, then with a human voice, it asked him to return the magic sword to his master, Long Vương (Dragon King), who lived under the water. Suddenly it became clear to Lê Lợi that the sword was only lent to him to carry out his duty, but now it must be returned to its rightful owner, lest it corrupt him. Lê Lợi drew the sword out of its scabbard and lobbed it towards the turtle. With great speed, the turtle opened its mouth and snatched the sword from the air with its teeth. It descended back into the water, with the shiny sword in its mouth. Lê Lợi then acknowledged the sword had gone back to the Long Vương (Dragon King) and caused the lake to be renamed 'The Lake of the Returned Sword' (Hoan Kiem Lake) located in present-day Hanoi.

### Appearance

Initially thought to be a man during her lifetime. She is summoned as a blonde-tan girl wearing a traditional rice hat. She is seen wearing a blue dress with a cape attached to it.

## Abilities

She was a well-known general, who implemented effective guerrilla tactics, including constantly moving her camps and using small bands of irregulars to ambush the larger Ming forces. By being blessed by Long Vương and being given the legendary sword Thuận Thiên her skills with a blade and general swordsmanship cannot be overlooked.

### Noble Phantasm

**Thuận Thiên --Split Blades of Promised Peace--**

## Thuận Thiên(Split Blades of Promised Peace)

### Maximum number of targets:

1-5

According to legend, the blade she wields was initially given to her in 2 separate pieces (the blade and the hilt). However, this Noble Phantasm interprets it a bit differently, rather than it being in 2 separate pieces. The sword initially appears as 2 blades that has seemingly been split in half.

This allows her to dual-wield her 2 blades together, however, this comes at the cost of her not properly being able to deploy her sword's full strength. This initial restraint does not however hinder her abilities and proficiency with the blade. This not only makes her seemingly faster and agile, but it also allows her to create omnidirectional attacks to overwhelm and weaken the target enough for a decisive blow.

It's noted that the structure of the blades and the hilt are very unstable and can easily break, but when charged with enough mana, this allows her to eject her blades like a speeding bullet, easily catching up and piercing the target at a far. She can eject her blades in seemingly different directions and can even telepathically control them in the air. Even when the blade is lost the bond of the two pieces of the sword shall never be separated from one another. Thus, this not only allows them to attract to each other but it is also said they will return to their owner even if events cause them to be lost. If one is thrown or if the blade of one is ejected while the other is held, the thrown sword or ejected blade will return to the wielder or reattach to the hilt much like a boomerang.

**Thuận Thiên --The Sword of Promised Peace--**

## Thuận Thiên(The Sword of Promised Peace)

### Maximum number of targets:

1000

When merged into one, Lê Lợi can call upon the sword's true name and unleash its full potential. The full power that Thuận Thiên can yield is said to even be comparable to that of the legendary Excalibur, as both swords were created to be Divine Constructs, thus it is impossible to reproduce or be replicated with *Projection*.

Similar to the myths, it is said that Thuan Thein enlarged Le Loi to a giant and gave him the strength of 1,000 men. Not only will it boost her Strength parameters to that of *B+ Rank,* but the sword will gather all the surrounding mana as well as utilizing the one given to her by her master. She will project a giant construct of herself entirely made out of light. The size of this construct can vary depending on the amount of mana given to her, but it is said that it can reach 1,000 meters in height. This giant version of her can copy and mimic her movements, as the construct is made entirely of mana her surroundings will initially be burned to a crisp.

However, Thuan Thein's true strength lies when she takes a stance and mutters the chant

*"Long Vương lend me your strength... Peace and prosperity shall bless this land. The shine of my blade shall guide them onto that path!"*

The construct surrounding her will surround the sword's tip essentially converting its user's magical energy into offensive power and releasing it. Once the sword is swung. To an observer, it looks like a giant beam of light, but the attack's target point is only at the tip. It is the "*ultimate slash*" that cuts through everything in the "*area*" the light goes through. Its enormous power heats space around the tip, and as a result, it is interpreted as a wave of light that mows across the surface of the earth like a directed energy weapon. Even if it is dodged, those in close proximity can still be temporarily distracted by its intensity. Its destructive power can leave behind scorched areas and can easily burn away whole city blocks.

However, this comes with a catch, once the blade's true name has been uttered and it's full potential has been used. It shall disappear like a flicker of light similar to the myths. When the turtle asked Lê Lợi to return the sword to the lake. Thus, she uses its true potential sparingly as its power can only be used 3 separate times.

## Trivia & Notes

### Trivia

* She has the same look as Artoria Pendragon (the saberface virus is spreading!!!)

### Notes

* Her design and appearance is based on her look in the animated special *Fate/Grand Order x Himuro's World: Seven Most Powerful Great Figures Chapter*. Aside from the Pseudo-Servants, they are all from the *Fate/school life* Servant creation contest. The Holy Grail War is revealed to have been a story by Yukika, so it is unknown how they apply to actual series' lore.
