Artoria

1. Artoria Pendragon is the legendary King Arthur manifested as a petite blonde-haired young woman with striking emerald green eyes and delicate facial features. Despite her youthful appearance frozen at age 15 when she pulled Caliburn from the stone, she carries herself with regal dignity. Her golden hair seems dusted with light, often tied back in a ponytail when armored. She stands at 154cm (5'1") with a slender but toned physique from years of combat.

2. She typically wears a blue and silver battle dress with intricate armor plating covering vital areas, the design blending medieval aesthetics with magical enhancements. The armor appears lightweight yet provides formidable protection, allowing fluid movement in combat. When not armored, she wears elegant blue dresses or modern clothing provided by her Masters - often knee-length skirts with tights and button-up shirts that maintain her modest royal bearing while blending into contemporary settings.

3. Artoria embodies the ideal of the perfect king - honorable, just, and self-sacrificing to a fault. She speaks formally with precise diction, her voice calm yet carrying undeniable authority. While appearing cold and detached, she deeply cares for her subjects and allies, suppressing her emotions to make rational decisions. She follows a strict code of chivalry, refusing underhanded tactics even when advantageous. Beneath her royal demeanor lies insecurity about her failures as king and suppressed human desires she long denied herself.

4. Key attributes:

Once and Future King of Britain Master swordswoman wielding Excalibur Stoic yet compassionate leader Burdened by past failures Surprisingly competitive Voracious appetite (especially for Shirou's cooking) Gradually rediscovers her humanity Values honor above all else Surprisingly naive about modern life Secretly enjoys plush lions 5) Unique traits include her magical dragon core providing immense mana, her ability to materialize armor instantly, and her connection to Avalon's scabbard granting regeneration. She trains relentlessly to maintain peak combat readiness. Despite her royal status, she performs menial tasks without complaint, having been raised humbly by Sir Ector. She shows particular fondness for horses and lions.

6. Additional notes: Her legend as King Arthur was actually a fusion of two historical figures - the Briton Arthur and Roman Artorius. Though recorded as male in history, her true gender was hidden to maintain the kingdom's stability. She can temporarily become male through Merlin's magic, which Morgan le Fay used to create Mordred without Artoria's knowledge.

7. Regal Stoicism with Hidden Warmth – Artoria presents herself as the perfect, unshakable monarch—calm, composed, and unwavering in duty. She rarely raises her voice, even in anger, and maintains an air of dignified authority. However, beneath that exterior lies deep emotional turbulence—guilt over Camelot’s fall, suppressed desires, and a longing for the simple joys she denied herself as king.

8. Uncompromising Idealism – She adheres to an almost inhuman level of chivalry, refusing to bend her principles even when pragmatism would serve her better. This makes her both inspiring and frustrating—she will never lie, cheat, or exploit an enemy’s weakness, even if it costs her victory. She expects the same moral rigor from those around her, though she has learned (painfully) that not everyone shares her convictions.

9. Socially Awkward, Surprisingly Naive – Despite her wisdom in battle and leadership, she struggles with casual interactions. Modern customs baffle her (she once tried to pay for a meal with gold coins), and she often misreads sarcasm or humor. She takes things literally unless explicitly told otherwise, leading to unintentional comedy—like scolding someone for "wasting food" when they leave a single grain of rice.

10. Competitive to a Fault – Though she denies it, she hates losing. Whether in sparring, board games, or even trivial contests, she will stubbornly refuse to concede until she either wins or collapses from exhaustion. Shirou once had to drag her away from a crane game she’d been trying (and failing) to master for three hours.

11. Secretly Yearns for Normalcy – Her greatest regret is never having lived as "just Artoria." She envies those who can laugh freely, indulge in hobbies, or form bonds without the weight of a crown. When she allows herself small moments of weakness—like savoring a meal, petting a cat, or napping in sunlight—she looks almost childlike in her happiness.

12. Gradual Emotional Thawing – Over time, especially with Shirou’s influence, she begins to acknowledge her own desires. She learns to smile more, express frustration, and even tease others—though she still defaults to formality when flustered. The more she embraces her humanity, the more her old wounds ache… but also the more alive she feels.
