Elsa Rosales

**Elsa Rosales** (エルザ・ロザレス, *Eruza Rozaresu*?) is the Master of Archer in the First Holy Grail War of *Fate/Intercession*.

## Profile

### Background

Born into the rather famous Rosales magus lineage of Spain to a Rosales father and a German mother, she was blessed with a slightly above average magic constitution. She had been trained in the Clock Tower and graduated from Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's class. However, not even three months after graduating, she cut ties with the Mage's Association despite being granted the rank of Fes. She then took on the job of a camerawoman and travels the world to document the chaos of war. As such, she has developed a distaste to war and violence.

This was further intensified when she met and married a man who had the same job as her. Their marriage lasted only one year with his death when he was killed in a suicide bombing incident while they were in the field in Israel. As a result of this, Elsa quit her job and returned to her home in Granada where she gave birth to her baby son, Luca Rosales, five months later. However, even this wouldn't stay around for long as Luca died only three months later due to various birth defects. As if the world was laughing at her suffering, she received her Command Spells and the right to participate in the Holy Grail War just three days after Luca's death.

### Appearance

As of the beginning of the First Holy Grail War, Elsa is a woman in her twenty-third year of life. She has red shoulder-length hair tied into a ponytail with a white lace ribbon and laurel green eyes. The attire she wears for most of the duration of the Holy Grail War is a green one-piece with a white jumper under it. She also wears thigh highs and white boots.

### Personality

Elsa is a kind individual who cares deeply for others. She had developed a hatred for war and violence due to her job as a camerawoman. Her wish for the Holy Grail is to "*end violence so that all mothers and children can be saved*". This was the result of the death of her son just a month prior. For the duration of the Holy Grail War, she is in a state of mourning and pain but hides all of this under a happy face which is easily seen through by her Servant.

## Role

### *Fate/Intercession*

Elsa arrives in Tokyo after flying in from her hometown with her catalyst in tow. She spent the day walking idly around the city and waits until nighttime before preparing the summoning ritual. She summons Archer and the latter affirms his contract to the former. Turning in for the night, Elsa ordered Archer to return to his spiritual form and observe the city for her so that she can at least begin drawing a game plan for the Holy Grail War.
