Rider (Fate/Crossover - Mipha (BotW))

**Lancer** (ランサー, *Ransā*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

*"I was thinking... this reminds me of the time we first met. You were just a reckless child... always getting yourself hurt at every turn. Every time, I would heal you. Just as I'm doing right now. I thought it was funny how, being a Hylian, you looked grown-up so much faster than I did. I was... I was always willing to heal your wounds. Even back then. So, if this Calamity Ganon does, in fact, return, what can we really do? We just don't seem to know much about what we'll be up against. But know this: that no matter how difficult this battle might get... if you—if anyone ever tries to do you harm... Then I will heal you. No matter when, or how bad the wound... I hope you know... that I will always protect you. Once this whole thing is over... maybe things can go back to how they used to be when we were young. You know... Perhaps we could spend some time together."* - Mipha

For the Lancer version; here's the link to Age of Calamity Mipha

## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Mipha**, the firstborn daughter of King Dorephan and the elder sister of Prince Sidon, who was chosen as a member of the four Champions of Hyrule who pilots Divine Beast Vah Ruta.

Despite being the firstborn daughter of the king of the Zora Tribe and the future queen of her people Mipha led a happy childhood. Doted on by her father and his advisors she won the hearts of the people with her grace and compassion.

When she was close to reaching adulthood Mipha became friends with Link the son of the Hyrulian Queen’s appointed knight and captain of the royal guard. As well as the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda. It was this friendship that led to her becoming the champion of the Zora tribe in the buildup to the resurrection of Calamity Ganon.

She was slain in battle with one of the imitation champions, Waterblight Ganon, and her divine beast, Va Ruta, was subverted by the Calamity and her soul trapped within. However, one hundred years following the calamity some say that the revived Hylian champion freed her soul from her prison and together they used the power of the Divine Beasts to annihilate the Calamity Ganon.

### Appearance

Mipha, like all members of her race, is a humanoid dolphin being half-human and half-fish. Her skin is scaly and of different shades of red and white and she has a fish fin on her head as hair. Mipha is shorter than the average Zora. She has a serene face, with thin red lips and yellow eyes.

Originally she only wore jewelry and ornaments of Zora royalty, but after she officially became a Champion she began to wear a robe with the emblem of Hyrule.

### Personality

Although usually demure and introverted, Mipha can be courageous when needed and does whatever she can to assist Link and her allies in any way she can - especially in their battle to stop the Calamity Ganon's return. She is also very protective of her family as shown in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, where she goes out to search for her brother who disappeared and finds him on the forbidden Ploymus Mountain holding a spear against a Lynel, a monster known for wielding a bow and use of Shock Arrows, which the Zora tribe is extremely weak to. She can sometimes be a bit stubborn and will refuse to retreat when she knows that her people are under attack, even from electric foes and goes out of her way to ensure their safety and goes out to even blast an electric Moblin that came close to killing her father. She cares about her family and a century after losing her life, she longed to see her family one more time and apologize for making them all worry for her, given that King Dorephan made her promise to return home alive when the Calamity is dealt with.

Mipha is known to be extremely kind, treating both her people and strangers with equal kindness. Her cutscene in the Champion’s Ballad shows that she was a nurturing elder sister to Sidon and ingrains "I believe in you." into his mind which he would say to Link a hundred years later. She also charges him to protect Zora's Domain with his life if in the event she doesn't come home alive. Her death would have a major emotional impact on the Zoras who knew her. While soft-spoken for the most part, she is rarely seen losing her cool and she intensely despises the thought of anybody reading her diary and during a secret dialogue with Link in The Champions' Ballad, she tells Link that if he finds her diary, she suddenly bursts out in anger, warning him not to read it, but she soon catches herself and hopes that Link would respect it.

Mipha is also known to be in love with Link, promising to heal him whenever and no matter how bad the wound may be. She shyly tells him that after the Great Calamity was dealt with, she wants to spend time with him, like they did in their childhood. Due to her timid nature, she doesn't directly confess her feelings to him, but instead gives hints without making it clear as she lacked the courage to actually tell him. When she does try though, she loses her will by either goes around the reason why the Zora Armor (made by Zora Princesses to give to their future husbands) fit him perfectly or longing to tell him something but instead tells Link to dismiss it and at one point, she almost makes Link aware of her feelings in Age of Calamity and in an embarrassed panic, tries to outwardly deny it. Mipha is also aware of Link's relationship with Princess Zelda and due to his being appointed as her top knight who guards her wherever she goes, she was a bit envious of them being together regularly, but she never tries to get in their way. She remains polite and thoughtful to the princess and at one point tried to console her and provide some advice but doesn't finish as Ganon breaks out of his seal.

Mipha's relationship with the Champions is also positive. She forms a brother-sister bond with Daruk in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity as they travel with the princess to calibrate the Divine Beast and wants to start her training with him in order to prepare and improve to stand a better chance at fighting tougher enemies and Daruk seems to be aware of her crush on Link, but in respect doesn't point it out, though given his amused look it seems he’s actually supportive of them being together. Mipha and Revali rarely interact despite being together with the others and aware of each other's existence; but when they do, they work quite well with one another. She doesn't openly chastise him for his callousness towards Link, but instead shoots him a dirty look, which Revali doesn't seem to notice. Revali does show concern for her when she's nervous and when she settles down, he smiles in relief. If the two of them are paired in Age of Calamity, Mipha is very respectful to Revali and praises him for his prowess and Revali is surprisingly very gentle with her and will remind her to look after herself as he knew of her power to heal wounds which being the team medic is pivotal in a life and death scenario. Mipha has little interactions with Urbosa, but the Gerudo Champion noticed how she, Link, Zelda, and Revali are still very young and Hyrule's future, and she and Daruk wanted to help them see that future. When paired, they both seem to get along fine and are courteous of each other.

## Abilities

Mipha has the unique power to heal others, an ability that no other Zora has. In fact her ability Mipha's Grace - a power that's bestowed to Link after freeing her, which can revitalize his hearts whenever they are depleted (not only restore Link to full health, but gives him four to five extra hearts).

Other than healing, Mipha is a prodigy in spearmanship and is said that her skills are to be in a class of her own, Mipha owns a trident that is referred to as the Lightscale Trident.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Magic Resistance (D (B) Rank): Though shy and timid, Mipha is known to possess an incredibly strong will. As a servant, this great willpower has manifested as a resistance to all forms of mystical attack. At this rank it will protect against mysteries that require an aria of three or fewer verses, including rituals and high thaumatuergy.

However, when struck by a mystery that possess the lightning element she is affected as if her magic resistance were only D rank. This is only for determining the effects of lightning-based mysteries, all other mysteries are affected as normal.

#### Personal Skills

* Charisma (C Rank): Though a shy soft spoken individual Mipha was the crown princess of the Zora tribe and was beloved by her people because of her kindness. There is a sort of presence about her that compels others to listen when she speaks and that draws them to her.

* Magecraft (C (B) Rank): Mipha possesses an innate talent for magecraft with the ability to heal others, as well as the manipulation of water.

(Note: this skill may be modified by a Noble Phantasm(s))

* Swimming (A Rank): As a Zora Mipha possesses her peoples innate affinity for swimming. Whilst in water her agility is increased to A+ and she is able to perform feats that should be impossible, such as the act of swimming up a waterfall. The effects of this skill are also partially related to the magecraft skill.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Mipha’s Grace**

Mipha’s innate magical power, can be used to heal the most grievous of wounds, even to the point of death. Should Mipha or her master perish this Noble phantasm will automatically heal all of their wounds and grant her a boost of one rank to all attributes for a short period of time. However, doing so will leave Mipha unable to access her healing abilities for a quarter of an hour.

Modifies the Endurance Attribute and the magecraft skill.

#### **Lightscale Trident**

A spear of peerless grace wielded by the Zora princess Mipha. When carried by someone of the Zora tribe the opal stones set into the trident head allow the wielder greater control over water. Increases the magecraft personal skill when being used for water based magecraft.

#### **Vah Ruta; "Divine Beast of Water"**

A great machine created by the Sheika tribe in an age long past as a weapon against the calamity. It was built by melding magic with technology.

Resembling an elephant, Va Ruta is the size of a small castle and can easily move through bodies of water, though she is slow on land. Through an unknown method she is able to generate an almost infinite amount of water, enough to cause floods or even change the weather of a region, and can create and manipulate ice. It can also form a magical barrier around itself, however, in order to use any of its more powerful or active functions Va Ruta must first lower the barrier.

Her main weapon is a high-power particle beam canon located below the trunk just in front of the mouth. While the full capability of this canon is unknown it is believed that an identical weapon was used to blast a large hole through the peak of Mt. Hebra. Its maximum range is unknown, but it can cover a distance of several hundred kilometers with ease.

While in use, this noble phantasm grants the Territory Creation skill. The interior of the Dvine beast acts as a pseudo Reality Marble, for all of the water and the machines that occupy the interior are under Mipha's complete control.

(Note: Because of its enormous power this noble phantasm may only be activated when specific conditions are met. Only when facing a threat that could described as a calamity, or a disaster, participating in a battle to save the world, or she is able to gather the appropriate materials (Similar to Semiramis’ Hanging Gardens)).
