**Assassin** (アサシン, *Asashin*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Margaret Moonlight**, the 4th-ranked assassin of the United Assassins Association. Known as the Goddess of Death, she wields Le Croissant du Ange ("the crescent of the angel"), a powerful pair of modified rifles that can be used as scythes, and displays the supernatural ability to teleport. Her appearance takes after the Gothic Lolita style with a black and white color scheme and a fancy frilly dress. Her weapons and Gothic Lolita clothing ties into her motif of the Grim Reaper. Margaret has a knack for poetry and songwriting. It shows from her personal song titled 'Philistine' that she created herself.

She appears as the 4th rank fight that Travis Touchdown would do atop Supermarket Guan's grocery store. After Travis fights his way through the parking lot and the isles of the store he'll find and fight her on the rooftop. She is also the younger sister of Alice Twilight though not many even know that fact.

The song she sings as she fights, called "Philistine", is the last thing her victims ever hear.

#### History

Once, Margaret Moonlight was approached by Travis Touchdown while she on top of the roof of Supermarket Guan's as he wanted to kill her. She whistles her theme and asks him if he's heard of it, but he just replies with "Nope". She then says how sad that is and offers to teach him her song implying that he'll learn the song before he dies. She puts up a tough fight, but after losing both her weapons she is impaled by Travis's beam katana. She then asks him what he thought of the song, with his reply being that it was "catchy as hell". He then slices out her midsection, disemboweling her as she asks if he remembered the song with her dying breath. He claims that he remembered it "100 percent". As she began to fall, she replies saying "That's so...sublime.".

### Appearance

Margaret has pale blonde hair with light blue eyes and a beauty mark on her left lower cheek. Margaret's outfits has many qualities of classic gothic Lolita, such as: the heavy use of make-up, the color theme being dark colors with white, but is not actually a Lolita coordinate due to the exposed underwear. The pouches around her waist are adorned with crosses. Her outfit and weapons all have a grim reaper motif.

### Personality

Margaret seems to be honorable and enjoys music and fighting. She has an extensive vocabulary and shows no fear of death. Even when Travis ultimately slays her, she is instead more concerned about her song, asking him whether he memorized her song or not and dies happily when he confirms that he had. According to her song Philistine, she kills people that she believes are sinners.

Unlike most assassins, Margaret rarely speaks so doesn't get much time to showcase her personality. Instead she gets most of her characterization handled in her song. When Travis fought her, she sang "Philistine". Margaret spends a few lines describing herself before dedicating the rest of it to taunting Travis, making fun of his lifestyle, and his quest for revenge.

### Relationships

#### Her Master

As an assassin-class servant, Margaret is dutiful yet somewhat causal. She will listen every single command he has, especially if it revolves around assassination. On the other hand, she doesn't care about her master at all, not even bothered to help them if not command too. She also never enters her spirit form even if she is command to do so though she can hide her aura thanks to one of her personal skills.

If she likes her master, she perhaps would be more willing to help them if not command too.

## Abilities

Margaret's weapon of choice is a pair of anti-material rifles with long scythe blades attached to the stocks called "Le Croissant du Ange" or "The Crescent of the Angel" in English. At range she can snipe her opponent with ease and spends most of the battle keeping her distance, sometimes by teleporting around. If she has to fight up close, she flips over her weapons and uses the bladed ends for close combat. She can also take up position on areas high above and take shots at her opponent from extreme range. This attack comes with a noticeable laser sight right before she fires.

Margaret has abilities similar to a ghost in that she can teleport by slowly fading and reappearing somewhere else. She may be also able to defy gravity for a short period of time since she is seen to float for a certain amount of time during the battle.

When Margaret wins in a clashing battle, she will launch her opponent up in the air with her scythes. She then changes into her gun mode and shoots her opponent for a few times before letting them fall. Aside from her gun mode, all of her melee moves covers a wide radius. While Margaret does fairly damaging attacks with her melee moves, her real strength actually lies in her gun mode.

She uses 12.7 x 99 mm hollow-point bullets in her rifles for maximum damage.
