Character: Saber [Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus]
Series: Fate/Extra
Character Age: Has the appearance of a seventeen year old.
Canon: In the year 2032 humans discovered a powerful artifact known as Moon Cell. To gain control of its powers, a tournament called the Holy Grail War is arranged in a virtual environment called the Serial Phantasm in order to determine who gets to control it. The protagonist, however, is different and doesn’t remember any of this; finding themselves waking up in the virtual world with no recollection of their past. They choose to compete as a Master - a Magi participant in the Grail War - only to survive, and hopefully find an answer to the question of who they were with the help of a Servant - a Legendary Soul of a figure from history or mythology to fight for them.
Saber is one of possible Legendary Souls the protagonist can choose as a Servant. Pompous and arrogant, she is a diva who demands attention and has a fondness for luxurious hot baths and beautiful things. Her royal birth is shown in her imperious manner of speech and she never wastes a chance to boast about herself or how fortunate her Master is for having her. Although she’s an accomplished warrior, she fancies herself as more of an artist with talent rivaling the gods and often makes artistic comparisons to things, such as comparing a battlefield to a stage and a fight to a performance, even though in truth her artistic ‘talent’ is pretty dubious. However, despite her selfish nature and lavish way of living, Saber genuinely cares for people and want them to enjoy the fun in life as much as she does . . . even though she can get defensive when someone criticizes her ways.

Hmmm. This will not do. This will not do at all. As soon as I stepped onto this stage - and it wounds me to even compare something this crude to a stage - I could immediately deduct the reason why Director Elizabeth Sayre felt the necessity of inviting me here. If the information presented to me about this encampment is correct, then it is supposed to be a place of learning for aspiring young artists, is it not? If so, then this insipid mess I see before me most certainly leaves much to be desired.
I must admit that when I arrived here, I found myself feeling vexed that despite asking for my benevolent guidance, the Director did not see fit to prepare a proper welcoming ceremony fit for someone of my station. As if her decision to choose an unsightly group of courtiers that literally look and behave like apes wasn’t insulting enough, the ‘cabin’ she had prepared for me seems like nothing more than a lowly street thief’s shack. However, at my core I am still an artist, and thus it’s only natural that I feel obliged to impart my superior wisdom as an inspiration to this future generation. So for the time being I shall overlook those offenses and lend my expertise . . . beginning with a few suggestions for remodeling. Since there are many things that could use improvement I’m going to start with what I deem a priority and continue on from there.
From my observation the first subject that caught my gaze was the tower and the giant monster that seems to reside in it. I can understand the desire to keep such a monstrous creature as a pet - I once possessed a rather ferocious tigress, so I’m aware that there is a certain beauty to danger. However if one desired to keep such a magnificent beast, one should also be ready to provide an adequate habitat for it. Judging from the tentacles, this Marcy must be a sea creature, therefore the best ideal location for it to reside in should have been a place with water. Such as the bath, which I hear is unfortunately outdoors, so more remodeling is in order to turn it into a proper bathhouse! Preferably one with pillars made of gold, a ceiling painted to mimic the beautiful spring sky and adorned with exotic flowers of different seasons! Not only would Marcy have a comforting habitat, she would also be able to enjoy closer interaction with the students. It might even inspire them into an artistic mood!
. . . I’m aware that this expansion will most likely exhaust the treasury of this encampment, but I can assure you that it would be worth the price! After all, one should never hold back when it comes to comfort! So if the Director wishes for both her campers and her pet to be able to relax in a hot bath as glorious as the ones in the old days of Rome, then she shouldn’t try to be cheap. A-and if there are funds left after my proposed renovation, then perhaps we can discuss potential improvements to your dining hall next . . . particularly about the Tuesday menu.
