Berserker (Fate/Crossover - Flandre Scarlet)

**Berserker** (バーサーカー, *Bāsākā*) is the servant of **Sion Eltnam Atlasia** in the ??? Holy Grail War.

*"I just want to destroy the indestructible. Especially you, who no one else can destroy! Here I come!"* — Flandre Scarlet

## Profile

### Identity

Berserker's true identity is **Flandre Scarlet**, the younger sister of Remilia Scarlet and the "dirty little secret" of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, serving as the extra boss of Touhou Project: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, the sixth entry in the Touhou Project series.

She knows little about the world outside due to her rarely leaving the mansion, and, until the heroines arrived during the Extra Stage of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, she had had no substantive contact with any humans other than Sakuya Izayoi. This is entirely of her own will, as she has remarked, quote, "Life down here is pretty cozy."

### Appearance

Flandre has red eyes and short blonde hair, which is tied into a single ponytail on her left side. She wears a red skirt and vest, with a white shirt underneath. She also wears a white mob cap with a red ribbon attached. Her wings appear to be made of iron and crystals. She has a black metal spear, which is apparently the mythical Lævateinn. Arranged from her back to the tip of her wings her eight crystals are presented as follows: Light Blue, Blue, Purple, Pink, Orange, Yellow, Light Green, and Light Blue again.

### Personality

Flandre is rather nice and quiet, but somewhat anti-social. She typically stays inside, thus worsening her social skills, leading to her staying inside more, creating a feedback loop of isolationism. She is said to respect her older sister a lot.

Flandre is described as being quite strange and eccentric, which makes it difficult for others to understand her. She's also described as being "normally docile" and generally pleasant to be around, but somewhat of a loose cannon if left unwatched. Because unlike most vampires, she is exceptionally bad at feeding herself. Due to her immense power, when she tries to attack a human, she vaporizes them completely, leaving their blood coating anything nearby and firmly inedible. She depends on the mansion's maids—primarily Sakuya—to feed her.

Despite the fact that she isn't very good at talking to other people, she can get rather sassy and uppity when talking with her sister. Her friendship toward humans is very low.

### Relationships

#### **Marisa Kirisame**

Her conversation with Marisa in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil leaves an impression that the two are quite friendly. However, Marisa commented, "Sometimes when I sneak into the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I run into the little sister. I had to slip by without drawin' her attention, but after goin' through all that to get into the place, I was hopin' I wouldn't run into her."

#### **Reimu Hakurei**

Though the shrine maiden promises to come play with her every so often during their dialogue in Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, the two have not been seen together since then, so it is likely she just said that to get her to calm down.

## Abilities

Flandre Scarlet is one of the most powerful beings in Gensokyo. In addition to the massive physical and magical strength of a vampire, she possesses the ability to destroy anything by finding and crushing its "eye" in the palm of her hand. The "eye" is described as a sort of spiritual center present in anything. The limits of this ability are unknown. It is known that once she destroyed a meteor that would have crashed into the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Flandre can turn into a bat to avoid dangerous attacks such as bombing. Interestingly, her bat form's wings are normal, rather than the crystal wings she normally has.

She of course has a vampire's bodily and regenerative ability. She somehow exceeds even her older sister Remilia Scarlet in brute force and durability.

However Flandre can be burned when exposed to sunlight or roasted soybeans, and cannot cross flowing water, nor approach a broken holly branch or the head of a sardine. She is also vulnerable to spiritual attacks. Flandre is also sheltered, naive and hard to control when destructive.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Mad Enhancement (E Rank): The Class Skill of the Berserker Class. Sacrifices sanity for an increase in parameters. May interfere with abilities which require complex thought. In Berserker's case, it is more of a childish personality which does not understand how to play with things without breaking them. However, should she become enraged, Strength and Endurance will rank up, and her personality will turn irrationally violent, although she still remains capable of speech and communication.

#### Personal Skills

* Shapeshift (C Rank): The ablilty to change one's appearance, or steal the body of another.

Berserker can transform into an endless swarm of bats, and so long as at least one bat remains alive, she can change back unharmed.

* Magecraft (C Rank): The ability to actualize mysteries or phenomena that do not naturally occur in the ordered structure of the world.

Despite being a five hundred year old vampire, Berserker's talent with magecraft is low due to her confinement. Most of what she does know relates to the use of her Reality Marble.

* Protection From Arrows (B Rank): Increased defense against ranged attacks by predicting the projectile trajectory.

Due to her experiences in Gensokyo, where magical duels typically prioritize volume of fire over other considerations, Berserker is easily able to track and defend against any ranged attack she is able to perceive.

* The Auspicious One (A Rank): The Crimson Moon derived Magical Foundation responsible for the various mysteries which form the basic abilities of the Dead Apostles.

At this rank, Berserker is eligible to become a member of the 27 Dead Apostle Ancestors, and she strongly expresses the intrinsic abilities shared by all Dead Apostles; immortality, regeneration, enhanced physical parameters, the ability to drain people's blood, and the ability to create Ghouls and The Dead. She is also weakened under daylight and the New Moon, and strengthened under the Full Moon.

* Mystic Eyes (Destruction) (EX Rank): The possession of Mystic Eyes that are capable of interfering with the outside world.

Berserker's Mystic Eyes are similar to Balor's, in that they are a more powerful form of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception that can actualize the death of a target at range. To do so, Berserker must identify the most tenuous point of her target's existence, and manifest it in her hand as an "Eye" which she then crushes. Because they require a great deal of concentration and focus, they are difficult for Berserker to use. (Really, it's more like she forgets she has them in the first place)

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Lävatein; "The Trickster God's Wounding Rod"**

The twisted and warped wand said to be wielded by the Norse God of Mischief, Loki, and used by the Fire Giant Surtr during Ragnarok to burn down the entire world...

In truth, it is merely a Mystic Code that Berserker has accidentally bent out of shape, and which has somehow become a Noble Phantasm due to being mistaken for the real Lävatein. Its true purpose is to increase Berserker's control over her Reality Marble, which embodies a loss of control.

Her most common use of it is to summon a massive sword made from the fires of her Reality Marble. It is considered equivalent to an A++ Rank Noble Phantasm, and can grow to as long as two kilometers, depending on how much prana Berserker invests in it.

#### **Ragnarök; "The Flames Which Burn the World to Ash"**

Berserker's Reality Marble, which embodies loss of control, and her belief that she destroys everything she touches. Its landscape is an endless, burning plane, choked with ash. Both the skies and the horizon are filled with flames as well. These flames are the "Flames of Absolute Destruction" which burn everything they touch to ash, even if the target is completely indestructible, or conceptually immortal.

Beacuse it embodies a loss of control, it will do as it pleases and burn everything away if Berserker is separated from Lävatein.
