## Profile

### Identity

Saber's true identity is Ellis Philia, the third princess of the Philia Empire. She is a curious 16-year-old who longs to become a knight. Ellis is reluctant to be compared because her two older sisters are beautiful and are said to be the ideal princess. From the experience of being helped by an escort knight at the church that was entrusted to her when she was a child, she has a longing for a knight and spends her days training day and night to become a knight, but because the people around her are strongly opposed to it. Through her upbringing at the church, she was eventually able to wield the power of a great holy sword that is treasured in her kingdom (her time at church helped her into becoming a knight).

One day, Ellis hears a conversation from soldiers saying, "The Knights are trying to wipe out the bandits that are ruining the castle, but no matter how many times they chase, they disappear in a certain place in the mountains and are in trouble." To do. "If I could wipe out the bandits, I might be recognized for my achievements and become a knight." --- Thinking so, Ellis sneaks out of the castle and heads for the mountain road where she lost sight of the bandits ...

She visits an old abandoned chapel where it is rumored that people are disappearing, but when she enters, she can’t immediately find anything out of the ordinary... until she touches an old statue. A secret set of stairs appears before her when the statue moves on its own after being touched. Since Eris is a girl full of curiousity, she goes down the stairs, but the statue ends up moving back to its default position and trapping Eris. Now, she has no choice but to keep going down the labyrinth while witnessing horrific events and occassionally meeting other people.

Ellis fights of the evil phantoms inside the chapel in order to escape. Eventually she meets a young girl named Gina and found out the truth about the disappearances of other people. After finding and defeating the culprit which was a powerful sorcerer and defeating the phantoms who aim for the lives of many, she and the young girl managed to escape the chapel together in one piece.

### Personality

In a nutshell, a princess with a strong heart. Ellis is a kind young girl who wishes to help others when they are helpless. She also has a tomboyish personality, and can be quite cheerful. She can also be a bit stubborn, which tends to have her run head first into trouble and will focus on what she believes she needs to do.

## Abilities

Ellis trained during her days to become a knight herself, wielding her sword and magic.
Since Ellis grew up in the church, she can use her holy power, type of magic that is used to battle against evil spirits. Ellis's Love Sword is a heavy sword for the sacred knight. It is a long and heavy sword that is as tall as her body, but for some reason it feels light to those with holy power. Ellis is able to wield the Love Sword with such skill and able to use such skills with holy power.
(It's also effective against Demonic and Undead type enemies.)

She also can be very agile and flexible due to her training as a knight.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Holy Slash**

Ellis begins to chant a pray as her Love Sword begins to glow with a lot of holy power around it. As she finishes her prayer, she unleashes a couple of slashes of light and then sends a beam of light to her target.
