Class skills
Magic Resistance B: No matter what large spell, magecraft lower than B is nullified.
Since the draconian heart hasn’t awakened yet, it’s been reduced one rank from the grown-up
Artoria.

Riding C: If it’s been trained and adjusted properly, she can ride it perfectly.

Personal skills:
Instinct B: Ability to always “feel” the most suitable course of action for oneself in battle.
A sharpened sixth sense that is already close to future sight.
Halves interference blocking vision/hearing.
However, intuition is also a thought. Anyways, since she feels sensitive to the troubles of
people, when she encounters people, she’ll help them.

Mana Burst A: By wrapping weapons, or the own body, with mana, and releasing it, allows to
temporarily increase abilities.
In other words, it’s jet propulsion with mana. This Heroic Spirit applies it in sword fights for
defense and movement, demonstrating high performance in every aspect.

Blossoming Journey EX: A blessing (Gift) for the girl knight that started walking the path to
kingship.
That road is filled with hope, making the hearts of those who fight along her positive.

Noble Phantasm:

Caliburn
Golden sword of assured victory
Rank: B (conditionally A+)
Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~30
Maximum number of targets: –

Caliburn.
Originally a sword to select the king. The 『Anti-Unit』 of Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm isn’t
aimed to the enemy, but to the current owner.
When that proprietor is corrected and completed as a king, its power will become suitable for a
holy sword.
Despite being inferior to Excalibur, this holy sword also converts the user’s mana into heat
values, releasing it as particles of light.

Character:
First person pronoun: 私 (watashi)
Second person pronoun: 貴方 (anata) / 貴様 (kisama) / 貴公 (kikō) / 〇〇 (without honorifics)
Third person pronoun: 奴 (yatsu) / 奴等 (yatsura) / 〇〇 (without honorifics)

Personality:
An Artoria that has pulled the Sword of Selection and began walking the path to kingship. A
what-if.
Honest, positive, does everything with utmost effort.
Her being a rather unconfident late bloomer since she’s aware that she’s still half-baked is the
fly in the ointment.
Pleasantly happy and joyful when having fun,
saying straightforwardly that sad things are sad, the shape of a young girl that wasn’t allowed to
the original Artoria.

Motivation · Attitude towards Master:

With a “Since I was called as a Heroic Spirit I’ll serve Master with all my strength!”, she
expresses motivation and joy through her whole body.
She trusts her Master and doesn’t hesitate if she thinks the fight is good. She doesn’t think at all
about a reward for herself.

Dialogue examples:
『Nice to meet you, Master. Since I’m still a half-baked knight, please call me Saber Lily. From
now on, thanks for your continued support.』
『I-is that so…… I think that A rank is an exaggeration… But, I’m happy with flattery. When
Master says that, my self-confidence springs out!』
『Master is still growing too. I’m glad to somehow have made a friend. Fufu. It’s a competition
about who will become an adult first.』
『And ―― This holy sword (sword) shines to protect the loved ones! Ready your sword,
Heroine Z……! Saber Lily will lead you to death!』
Role in the game:
The appearance of Artoria after pulling the Sword of Selection and just having begun walking
the path as a king. Still a half-baked knight girl.
That appearance is like a lovely lily and those eyes are filled with bright hope.
Wandering around the country in order to experience lots of things, she left behind many
adventures. Those who were helped by her seemed to praise her as a knight princess for her
gorgeousness.

A romantic knight that, in order to become an ideal king, studies every day.
Since she’s still half an adult that can’t sweep away her girlishness, that heart and those dreams
are still filled with hope.
The tour round the country with the party consisting on her stepbrother Sir Kay and her retainer,
the mage Merlin, usually started with Artoria’s meddling, became a big deal with Merlin’s
jeering, and ended with Kay wiping her buttocks.

The leading Servant of the special event 『Saber Wars』.

Having set up the 『alliance of undeveloped Noble Phantasms』 with Mash, she admirably
devoted herself to practice in order to raise the power of her Noble Phantasm.
Studying under the mysterious Servant that called herself Saber among Sabers, Heroine X, she
fought fierce battles against the strange Servants that kept attacking one after another.
What about the Artorium? What about the Servant Universe? What about Heroine X’s hidden
goal?
Saber Lily’s fight has just begun! To Be Continued! (※ This has absolutely nothing to do with
the Arthurian cycle)

Despite the difference in style of acting and worldview, she respects her as a teacher of the
sword.

Merlin
The masked pretty boy that gallantly appears when Saber Lily is in a pinch. His identity is still
shrouded by mystery.

Comment from illustrator:

It’s a basic rule of evolutionary designs that equipment and decorations become more luxurious,
but there are also some characters like Lily that become more lightly dressed.
Although I liked Lily’s design from the start, I liked even more fully the mini-skirt dress of the
third Ascension. (Takeuchi Takashi)
