Lancer (Fate/Crossover - Ruby Rose)

**Lancer** (ランサー, *Ransā*) is the Lancer-class Servant available to be chosen by Fiona in the ??? Holy Grail War.

## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Ruby Rose**, leader of the Huntress Team RWBY. Raised on stories told by her half-sister Yang and late mother Summer about the Huntsmen defending mankind from the monsters known as the Grimm, Ruby idolized them since childhood and desired to join their ranks. Mentored by her uncle Qrow Branwen, her skills attracted the attention of Beacon Academy Headmaster Ozpin, who accepted her into Beacon Academy for her outstanding talents.

### Personality

Kind, optimistic and cheerful, Lancer has a strong sense of moral justice, striving to be like her Huntsmen idols. A self-admitted dork when it comes to weapons, Lancer is highly knowledgeable in her field and is quite excitable when analyzing exotic weapons. Her naivete and social awkwardness can make her appear immature, and she doesn't like to be the center of attention, preferring to be alone, or around her circle of friends. However, she also has a surprising understanding of people and leadership abilities that have made her leader of her team.

### Relationships

#### **Yang Xiao Long**

Lancer's older half-sister. When they were young, Yang read stories of the Huntsmen and their heroic deeds to Lancer, inspiring her to become one herself.

#### **Weiss Schnee**

One of Lancer's schoolmates, teammates and friends. They first got off to a bad start, with Weiss's arrogant and bossy demeanor and Lancer's hyperactivity and lack of forethought both got on each other's nerves. Overtime, they learn to work together as team members and tensions between them softened, and they eventually reconciled their differences.

#### **Blake Belladona**

One of Lancer's schoolmates, teammates and friends, they have developed a strong bond as teammates, though their relationship was colder to start off with.

#### **Ragna the Bloodedge**

Lancer and Saber have met before in an alternate reality where the fates of different worlds merged, and in order for the champions of each world to return home, they had to fight each other for the Keystones. The two of them have since become good friends, and she finds his Blood Scythe a cool weapon, even if it isn't also a gun.

#### **Fiona**

Lancer is the first person in the real world to ever consider Fiona a friend. After defending her from her parents, Fiona became immensely grateful of Lancer and the two grow to become close companions throughout the war. Their friendship is what gives Fiona the emotional support to become more outgoing and cope with her depression. Fiona even starts to see her as like a younger sister, a sentiment she acknowledges, given her relationship with her own sister.

## Role

### Red Like Roses

Summoned when Fiona was randomly chosen by the grail to serve as a master in the ??? Holy Grail War, she gives Fiona a new lease on life by becoming the first real person to ever become her friend. When her parents enter her room to investigate the commotion caused by the summoning, Lancer politely introduces herself to them. Her parents however, remain suspicious and try to order her out of their house, but she refuses, as she starts seeing them for what they really are. When they try resorting to force, she easily repels them, tossing them around and calling them out for their poor treatment of their daughter.

Over the course of the war, their bond grows stronger, and Lancer becomes like the little sister Fiona never had. In that time, she teaches her master about the war and using her newly awakened magecraft.

## Abilities

Having trained in armed combat under her Uncle Qrow since youth, Lancer is a highly proficient fighter with her Crescent Rose with an extensive knowledge of weapons. She could slay entire hordes of Grimm single-handedly, utilizing the different functionalities of her weapon in tandem with each other and her Semblance. She is capable of analyzing a weapon she's never seen before right down to its functions and the material it's made of just with one look, even when under intense pressure. Her fighting style is very reckless, aggressive and highly developed around her Crescent Rose. This, however, can be used against her, as her recklessness has gotten her in danger several times and her dependency on her weapon leaves her all but completely helpless in unarmed combat.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Crescent Rose** - "*Scythe of the Silver Eyed Huntress*"

Lancer's signature weapon. Built by Lancer herself during her time at Signal Academy, it is a High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe (HCSS) - a hybrid between a scythe and a sniper rifle. It can covert between regular scythe, war scythe, gun and storage modes. Lancer can also equip different types of Dust ammunition, such as Fire, Ice, Electric and Gravity.

#### **Petal Burst**

The manifestation of Lancer's innate power, known as a Semblance in her world. She can increase her speed in a flurry of rose petals so fast, that it appears akin to teleportation.
