I was raised by the Holy Order of Ecclesia, who took me in as an orphan. Growing up, the Order taught me the long history of Dracula&#8217;s attempts to wipe out all human life in Europe. For centuries, a brave warrior of the legendary Belmont clan would vanquish the mad vampire and rid the world of his darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: With all of Dracula&#8217;s failures, you&#8217;d think he&#8217;d find a new hobby at some point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa: Unfortunately, it wasn&#8217;t to last forever. Over the centuries, the Belmont bloodline trickled away to near extinction. With no one to slay Dracula should he return, Ecclesia imprisoned his soul inside a magic vessel until they find a way to destroy him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: And is this where you came in?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa: Correct. Since I was young, my master Barlowe trained me to be the bearer of <em>Dominus<\/em>, the Glyph with the power to destroy the mad vampire once and for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: But we wouldn&#8217;t have a game if it was that easy. Didn&#8217;t some idiot in your church mess the whole thing up?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa: <em>That <\/em>would be my stepbrother Albus. Jealous that he wasn&#8217;t chosen, he sabotaged the ritual, robbing me of my powers, memories, and emotions. I was forced on a perilous quest to recover my memories, and rescue innocent people along the way. Eventually, I confronted Albus, who was driven completely mad by <em>Dominus&#8217;<\/em> power. I defeated Albus in a duel, but just before his death, he revealed that he only sabotaged the ritual to save me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: Save you? From what? I thought he was just trying to steal your power for himself?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa:\u00a0<em>(With resentment)<\/em> Our master &#8220;forgot&#8221; to tell us that <em>Dominus<\/em> would ultimately kill those who would try to use it. This whole time, Barlowe was planning to use me not to kill Dracula, but to\u00a0<em>resurrect<\/em> him! When that failed, the fool threw away his own life to restore Dracula&#8217;s. I was left with no family, and no purpose except to cast the mad vampire back to Hell! I stormed through his castle, destroying his legions of monsters before finally reaching Dracula himself. Using his own power against him, I destroyed the mad vampire and ended his tyranny once more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: But if you used <em>Dominus<\/em>, how are you still alive?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shanoa: <em>(Sadly)<\/em> That&#8230;was Albus, once again. <em>Dominus<\/em> requires only a single soul wield it.

The source of my powers come from Glyphs, magic floating runes I absorb through the markings on my skin (Points to the tattoos on her arms and back). Most of my Glyphs come from the bodies of my defeated foes. After I kill an enemy, I absorb the Glyph they leave behind and gain whatever power or weapon they were using. For example, if I kill a sword-wielding skeleton, I can use the same weapon he was using.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: So basically magic tattoos equals awesome weapons? Putain de merde, I want to meet your artist!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: I thought you hated magic, Mr. Louis?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: I rethought my opinion after Seras vs Tanya.

First off, what are your greatest strengths of being a Saber-class Servant?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Saber: For starters, all my base stats like Strength, Endurance, and Mana range from mid-B to A++, which is not only high, but incredibly balanced. Not only that, but I also have powerful skills I&#8217;ve acquired both as a Servant and the former King of Britain. These include high-level magic resistance, Charisma fit for a king, and razor-sharp combat instinct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Saber&#8217;s Stats:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">* Alignment: Lawful Good<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">* Strength: A<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">* Endurance: B<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">* Agility: B<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">* Mana: A<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">* Luck:A+<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">* N.

Being a Servant comes with plenty of perks. I&#8217;m strong enough to throw a 80,000 trailer truck, cause damage to hard steel and concrete, and even collapse an entire building with a swing of my sword! Furthermore, I&#8217;ve been quick enough to run up sheer walls and dodge machine gun fire. I could even outrun a possessed F-15 fighter jet!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: You can actually outrun a bloody <em>fighter plane<\/em>!? Edward would be so jealous!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis:\u00a0<em>(Laughs)\u00a0<\/em>Yeah, I would LOVE to see the look on his face!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: <em>(Ignores him)<\/em> But what if you end up getting hurt in battle? Would you be able to keep going?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Saber: Of course! My armor is enchanted with Mana, which is essentially the source of my world&#8217;s magic. Should my armor be damaged, I can use some of my Mana to repair it. Certain enchanted weapons like Lancer&#8217;s Gae Dearg spear can pierce it, but that&#8217;s an extremely rare case. Even without my armor, I&#8217;ve survived getting slammed around by Berserker, and even took a direct hit from Gilgamesh&#8217;s sword Ea!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: What&#8217;s Ea?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Saber: It&#8217;s a blade whose power can warp reality by creating Reality Marbles&#8211;pocket dimensions based on the user&#8217;s memories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">NOTE: At the time Saber was struck, Ea was severely-handicapped. Even then, it has crippled high-level servants with a single hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: Pocket dimen&#8211;what the hell is this!? Are we being visited by Dr. Strange now?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: Don&#8217;t get upset, Mr. Louis.

Reality-bending bullshit aside, what other skills do you have?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Saber: This doesn&#8217;t have much to do with fighting, but the Grail gifts Servants like me certain information about the modern world. I also have the gift of Riding, meaning I can tame beasts and drive vehicles with relative ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: You know about the modern world?

Turns out that it was not the omnipotent wish-granter we thought it was. Long ago, a Babylonian Dark God named Angra Mainyu filled the Grail with evil power.

You treated the guests politely, you followed the script well (mostly), but weren&#8217;t afraid to improvise a little bit. You even threw in a couple of your own jokes like the Monty Python one!

Look, I&#8217;ve known my brother for 189 years! He can be stubborn, pushy, even a bit arrogant sometimes! But do you think you don&#8217;t act like that yourself!? You two have a lot more in common than you realize. But you can&#8217;t see that because you&#8217;re too caught up in your stupid debate over weapons and magic!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: Maybe that&#8217;s true, but do you know how aggravating it is to hear him talk shit about weapon users like me or Hiro!? Calling us shit like &#8220;uncivilized&#8221; or &#8220;barbaric!?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: And you always call him &#8220;weak&#8221; or &#8220;cowardly&#8221; because he&#8217;s a magic user like me! This narrow-minded behavior you share is why you always end up fighting! My family has existed in Europe for 4,000 years. In all that time, we&#8217;ve seen countless wars and conquests waged by people&#8217;s greed and distrust of each other. As centuries passed, technology grew, and so did the number of lives taken in such atrocities! Some people in my family began to see as a symbol of people&#8217;s greed and desire for destruction! See, <em>that&#8217;s<\/em> why Edward hates weapons so much!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: <em>(Gives a look like he finally understands)<\/em> Alright, I get where you&#8217;re coming from. But he should learn that technology is only a tool. Carrying a sword or a gun does not make someone a psychotic warlord or mass murderer out to destroy people. In fact, having one is an enormous responsibility requiring someone to have the training and discipline not to abuse it. As a Knight, I believe the only time one should draw their weapon is in self-defense or in defense of another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: Aye, I agree with you! And Edward feels the same way about magic! He uses his magic as a tool to defend himself or others, but only uses it to fight as a last resort. He also believes that one should have the wisdom to find other ways to solve conflicts without violence. And as a medical witch, I use my magic to heal people suffering from wounds, curses or sickness. Anything can be good or bad, depending on how one uses it. Being a magic user does not make you a spineless, pompous blowhard anymore than being a weapon user make you a murderous, trigger-happy madman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">(Pause)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: So, bottom line: Promise me that you&#8217;ll end your childish bickering with Edward, and be nicer to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Louis: <em>(Sighs)<\/em> Okay, I promise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Emily: I need your word. <strong>Promise<\/strong> me that you&#8217;ll be nicer to him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">(Louis sighs again and draws his sword.
