Saber (Fate/Crossover - Leina Vance)

**Saber** (セイバー, *Seibā*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

*"You were really strong, I enjoyed myself."* - Leina Vance

## Profile

### Identity

Saber's true identity is **Leina Vance**, the middle daughter of the Vance family and the heir to the Count's throne. She runs away from home to follow in her mother's footsteps as a warrior and make her own way in the world in hopes of becoming a stronger warrior by entering the Queen's Blade Tournament.

Leina is an adventurer wandering throughout the world. She's covered in sand by the harsh travels, but her dignified presence stays strong.

Through the various villages and cities she's passed by, Leina has gotten rid of the trouble-making bandits and monsters, as well as eradicated an evil sorcerer residing in ancient ruins. However, her acts weren't driven by money or prestige, but by her devotement to refine her skills and her sense of justice. Even the current Queen's Blade is but a mere test of her physical abilities.

She's the second daughter of Count Vance, a family that controlled the Continent before the Queen's Blade was instaured, and is now a powerful entity that controls the forces opposed to the Queen.

But Leina had no interest on the huge influence she'd have someday, or in the suffocating life of an aristocrat, and always devoted herself to training her swordsmanship to show her own power.

She once crossed swords with Risty, but Leina forfeited the fight when she discovered that Risty had a strong sense of justice and was a protector of the weak.

### Appearance

Leina is almost exclusively adorned in armor with a distinct breastplate that gives her protection and immunity to certain demonic attacks. On her right arm and neck is a series of long brown straps wrapped around her that dangle about freely. For added protection, she carries a full-arm, armored gauntlet on her left arm with a buckler mounted on it.

In Rebellion, Leina wears black coverings on her upper body and legs, and wears a white and blue breastplate, arm-guards, thong, and shoes.

In Unlimited, Leina's outfit remains practically the same, but she now has longer hair.

### Personality

Leina is a headstrong woman, who likes to do as she wants, but is also easily led to admire others, as seen with her first encounter with Risty. She is very determined to fight, and eager to branch out and fight different opponents, so that she may become stronger to become Queen.

Despite her eagerness to fight, however, she is prone to fear, and is frequently shown wetting herself in terror when an opponent overwhelms her.

## Abilities

Leina is no doubt a skilled warrior and most definitely a resourceful one. With sword and shield at hand, Leina is the all-around combatant in the Queen's Blade gauntlet. Her breastplate carries magical defensive properties that prevent her from being exposed should she sustain damage in the heat of battle, its durability so great that it can even resist Melona's breast milk. When she has gained the upper hand in a battle, she utilizes her signature move (Dragon Tail) to finish off her opponents in a flash.

She can also use her sword energy to reflect powerful attacks, as seen when she reflected Queen Claudette's powerful lightning beam, beams that were shown to easily destroy the Hyper-vibration armor, an armor which withstood demon Annelotte's power for a moment, and her lightning destroyed the top of the large castle tower.

When the sword she inherited from her mother broke and was reforged with Iron Mountain ore, it became known as Evindil, the "Wind of Destiny" (in the anime, Ymir said this was dwarvish). It was thanks to this sword that Leina managed to exorcise Delmore off Aldra, and take away most of her powers.

She is in great physical condition, having the strength to send a powerful energy charged kick towards the red demon Belphe, heavily damaging him even in his giant state. She has the ability to copy the abilities she's encountered in her battles, or from observing them first hand.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Dragon Tail; "The Phantom Dragon of Golden Flames"**

An energy attack that Leina used to either thrust forward with a powerful golden glow, or send the beams forward as a projectile with slashes. In rebellion, the attack is larger and more powerful, now being green energy in the shape of a large japanese dragon, and being blasted forward as a destructive energy beam. It is powerful, as it can destroy large portions of castles and cause massive explosions. It was also strong enough to defeat the demon that was giving Annelotte andi Izumi lots of trouble in a single hit.

Leina tosses her shield and then grips her sword with both hands, she attacks twice before the sky darkens and her eyes glow red. She then does a flurry of attacks before somehow sending her sword spinning in the air. Leina then jumps and grasps it for a overhead strike and slashes through the targeted enemy.
