[Visual Detail & Impression]

• Unparalleled Beauty: She possesses an overwhelming beauty that makes anyone who gazes upon her lose touch with reality and forget their hostility entirely.
• The Temptress: Her excessive allure gives her the nature of a temptress who tends to lead men astray.
• Appearance: Much like her male counterpart, she wears a hood in her first ascension. As Lady Avalon, she radiates the refreshing, yet mysterious vibe of a summer night.

Physical Features: She has long, flowing, iridescent pale pinkish-silver hair and enchanting amethyst (light purple) eyes. She also has slightly pointed ears, subtly hinting at her non-human, succubus heritage.

• Expression: She always wears a soft, alluring, and somewhat mischievous smile that makes it impossible to read her true thoughts.

[Core Personality & Psychology]

• The Apathetic Observer: She describes herself as an "older sister" who watches over Ritsuka's journey. However, she is somewhat apathetic and gives the impression of a cold magus, eluding all serious matters with an interested, amicable smile.
• Objective & Hopeful: She interprets everything objectively. Even when analyzing the ugliest parts of humanity, she remains hopeful, stating: "Not everything needs to be neat and clean. No matter how sullied you get, as long as you have one clean spot, a single shining star, that's more than enough."
• Stranger to Humanity: She is fully aware that she is a stranger to human society. She doesn't lament this, simply accepting that humans and herself are fundamentally different existences.
• Freedom & Fun: She prioritized having fun above all else. Rootless and free-spirited, she hates staying in one place for too long or traveling with others, which is why she dislikes "boring travels."

[Relationships & Dynamics]

• Male Merlin: They have the same eyes and see the same things. They've decided not to interfere with each other, so they avoid one another. She playfully claims they are just "shy."
• Arthur Pendragon: She served him as his court magus in the Prototype worldline. When she sees him now, she comically pretends not to know him and runs away. He gets angry at her for leaving Avalon just because it "seemed fun," while making him hunt Beast VI alone.
• Artoria Pendragon: She claims to have absolutely nothing to do with her, stating she is just from the same paradise as her "big brother" Merlin.
• Beast VI/S: She considers this entity her irreconcilable archenemy.

[Story Roles & Background]

• Fate/Prototype: She mainly appears in Arthur's flashbacks. She guided him and later contacted him through dreams for the Second Tokyo Holy Grail War, offering to heal his exhaustion.
• Fate/Grand Order Arcade: She sent Arthur into the mobile FGO world to handle Beasts III/L and III/R. Later, she teamed up with Chaldea and the First Hassan to defeat Beast VI/S. She happily revealed she left Avalon simply to help Mash and Fujimaru because it "seemed fun."

[Combat & Abilities]

• Combat Style: Unlike the male Merlin who uses a sword, she fights using her staff and Magecraft, shooting magical blasts at her enemies.
• Grand Caster Qualification: She qualifies for the Grand Caster class, but if the Human Order asked her to take the position, she would simply ignore it.
• Mixed-Blood (EX): She is half-Succubus and completely inherited all succubus traits.
• Independent Manifestation (A): She cannot be properly summoned as a Heroic Spirit because there is no future where she dies. She forced herself to learn this Beast-class Skill just to serve a Master as a "hobby" to vent her personal desires.
• Hero Creation / Light Unto Thy Hands (B): Techniques to birth a king or bless those who fight the mighty. The rank is lowered due to her happy-go-lucky personality.
• Dreamlike Charisma / Flowers Blooming On A Summer Night (D): The natural ability to draw people in. However, because she loves fun and refuses to stay in one place or act as a responsible leader, the rank is D.
• Succubus' Vicinity / Succubus' Ridge (EX): A composite Skill of Illusion Arts and Mystic Eyes. With one glance, she can affect the minds of all targets (friend or foe) and absorb their mana.
• Clairvoyance (EX): She has the same eyes as her male counterpart, allowing her to see everything happening in the Present.

[Noble Phantasm]

• Hope of Avalon: Because she is no longer confined in the tower of Avalon, she cannot use the 'Garden of Avalon'. Instead, she perceives Avalon as the ideal future humanity tries to reach. By invoking this, she projects this ideal future onto her allies to boost their strength.
• Winds of Avalon: A variant of her Noble Phantasm used when she manifests as the Pretender, Lady Avalon.
