Artoria's hometown was on the coast among green hills, where the Hidden Earth
wind raged and the sea bristled like the manes of a thousand Attribute:
galloping white horses. If one were to gaze at the faraway land from
atop a cliff, they would see a long coast shrouded in mist, running as Armaments: Armor, Sword[1]
far as the eye can see.[14] There, Merlin placed Artoria in the care of Yamaha V-Max (Fate/Zero)
Sir Ector, a simple and wise old knight, who raised her as his
adopted child and successor. Though Ector did not believe in the Summoning Avalon (F/sn & F/Z)
prophecy, he did feel the same air from the girl as he did his king. He Catalyst:
felt that he must raise her as a knight, and he wished for her to grow.
He never needed to wish for such a thing, as she trained day after Qualified Servant classes
day to become stronger than anyone. She swore to bear her sword
for the only reason that "only a king can save a ruined country
headed for death" without ever being told such.[13] During this time, Master: Shirou Emiya
she was raised with Sir Kay as her brother, but they still loved each
War: Fifth Holy Grail War
other as siblings after she learned the truth of their relationship. She
acted as his squire and received training from him, while also doing Series: Fate/stay night
other chores such as pulling along his horse. She was better than
him in terms of swordsmanship, but she never beat him in a fight Parameter
due to his arguments declaring himself the winner rather than actual
skill.[9] Class skills

Once the day of prophecy arrived, knights and lords from around the Personal skills
country gathered to be selected as king. Each expected the
Noble Phantasm
selection to be through jousting to select the most superior one to
become a king, but the only thing prepared at the place of selection
was a naked sword stuck in a stone with a golden inscription on the Master: Rin Tohsaka
hilt reading "Whosoe'er pulleth out this sword of this stone is
rightwise king born of England." While many knights grabbed the War: Fifth Holy Grail War
sword trying to follow the command, none were able to pull it out. As
they began the expected method of selection by jousting, Artoria, Series: Fate/stay night (UBW)
only an apprentice not qualified for jousting, neared the deserted
stone of selection and reached out for the sword without Parameter
hesitation.[13] Class skills

Before grabbing it, Merlin appeared before her to tell her to think Personal skills
things over before taking it. He told her she would no longer be
human upon taking hold of the sword, but she only responded with a Noble Phantasm
nod because she has been prepared for the fact that "becoming a
king means no longer being human" ever since she was born. She
knew that a king is someone who kills everyone to protect everyone. Master: Kiritsugu Emiya
She thought about it every night and shuddered until morning came.
War: Fourth Holy Grail War
While not one day passed where she did not fear that fact, she said
that it would end this day. The sword was pulled out as if it were only Series: Fate/Zero
natural to do so, and the area was filled with light. She became
something not human in that instant. The king's gender doesn't Parameter
matter, and no one will care about the king's appearance or even
notice it as long as the king acts like a king. Even if anybody did Class skills
notice the king was female, it would not be an issue if she was a
good king. This started the time of the king who would become a Personal skills
legend.[13] She stopped aging at 15 years old, back when she pulled Noble Phantasm
Caliburn from the stone.[3]

Artoria secured her strength and rallied followers for ten years, Master: Ritsuka Fujimaru
among them such storied knights as Gawain. Ten years after she
pulled Caliburn from the stone she slew the usurper king Vortigern War: Grand Order
and was crowned King of Britain.
