Lancer (Fate/Crossover - Kyoko Sakura)

**Lancer** (ランサー, *Ransā*) is the Servant of Keith Kazama Flick in the ??? Holy Grail War.

## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true Identity is **Kyoko Sakura**. Born to a struggling church family, her father was excommunicated for his radical beliefs. She made a contract with the being Kyubey to become a magical girl, wishing for her father to have followers to listen to his teachings. But when her father discovered her magical girl activities, he snapped, accusing her of witchcraft and then killing himself and everyone in his family except her. From that point on, She decided to use her powers for herself, believing that using them for others would only bring misery. It wouldn't be until learning the truth of the nature of magical girls and trying to help another magical girl Sayaka Miki from making the same mistakes she had made that Kyoko would adopt a more sympathetic outlook.

### Personality

Lancer has a very fiery temperament. In an effort to mask her feelings, she acts abrasive, stubborn, arrogant, and self-centered, espousing a Darwinist philosophy of "Kill or be killed/Eat or be eaten"; In life, she was willing use her powers for selfish benefits and would even callously sacrifice human lives if it meant obtaining Grief Seeds.

In spite of her rude, egocentric exterior, she does have a softer side, showing kindness and sympathy to those close to her; She had once tried to save Sayaka Miki from making the same mistakes she made, as she reminded her of her own past.

Due to her growing up with a starving family, she greatly values food and will berate those who waste it; Not even her own master would be spared, should they ever do so.

### Relationships

#### **Keith Kazama Flick**

Lancer and Keith's relationship can best be described as that of a grouchy uncle forced into looking after his distant delinquent niece. She found his habits to be wierd and nerdy, and his fixation on his work boring, mostly tolerating them because he was her master and his methods got results. Her habits of starting fights on a whim sometimes cause unecessary trouble that leaves Keith having to sort her and the situation out. Overtime they developed something of a rapport, as they both lost their family and grew cynical as a result.

#### **2B**

The Saber Servant of the Holy Grail War.

They were initially adversaries before becoming allies against common foes. Their relationship was uneasy due to their initial antagonism, with Kyoko's rude, brash attitude chafing under 2B's professionalism. After the defeat of Caster and his master, they learn to better work together. They find each other reminiscent of people they knew from their respective past lives; Homura Akemi for Kyoko, and A2 for 2B.

#### **Sayaka Miki**

In life, Lancer and Saber were initially enemies, as both their respective morals, personalities and ideologies clashed with each other. As they gained an understanding of each other, this animosity eventually fell and they eventually became good friends. Lancer even grew to like Saber, as she reminded her of why she became a magical girl in the first place: In her youth, she loved stories where love and courage prevail.

#### **Mami Tomoe**

Lancer was once Archer's friend and protege until they had a falling out and went their seperate ways. Now with their memories of Rebellion restored, they have since reconciled their differences and rekindled their friendship.

#### **Homura Akemi**

Throughout the innumerable timelines across their world, Lancer and Archer have remained close behind their thick walls, with Archer the one to talk sense into Lancer in one of the timelines. Now with the memories of Rebellion restored, Lancer no longer trusts Archer, keeping a close eye on her when in her presence. This is made rather difficult with Berserker returning to ally himself with Archer, as she knows full well how badly she lost the last time they fought.

#### **Madoka Kaname**

Lancer and Archer have a weird relationship, they seem to get along more than the others do with the former, but they don't seem to agree on most things. While Lancer likes to battle things out, Archer prefers to talk things out, making them contradicting opposites.

#### **Dalek Sec**

Lancer and Berserker have met in one timeline, initially as adversaries before becoming uneasy allies. Having been nearly killed by him, Lancer remains hesitant around the Dalek. With both her memories of Rebellion restored and Berseker's renewal of his alliance with Homura, Lancer remains more cautious than ever around both him and Homura.

## Role

### Fate/Deus Ex

Lancer is summoned as the Servant of Keith in the Holy Grail War when he was chosen by the Grail as a participant. She joins him in investigating a series of bizarre and gruesome murders that led him into the war in the first place. Her street smarts and experience hunting Witches help her contribute to the search. They both join up with Shuichi and Saber, another pair of participants looking into the murder case. They agree to join forces to apprehend the suspect despite Lancer's initial objections.

After solving the first case, the team follows a new lead that brings them to investigating suspicious practices tied to the War by Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.

She and Keith would help Saber combating Rider and rescuing Shuichi from his clutches after Rider kidnapped him to be a hostage to force Saber into a rigged duel. They confront Rider's master Takano Miyo, accompanied by a large contingent of drones guarding Shuichi. She proceeds to fight through the entire drone army by herself to allow Keith to rescue Shuichi and defeat Takano.

After helping to save Shuichi, she and the team discover Rider and Yagiri Pharmaceuticals were pawns of Archer in his plot to control the power of the Grail to restore his home world and terraform Earth into a colony world for a universe spanning empire.

## Abilities

Befitting her class, Lancer is a highly proficient spear fighter, having years of experience fighting monstrosities from her world known as Witches. Her spear can also split itself into multiple segments attached by chains and act as a whip, and form a barrier to both protect others and keep them from interfering.
