Irisviel von Einzbern | Fate/Zero | Not reserved

[personal profile] grails_vessel 2012-07-28 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Player Info:
Nickname: Sen
Age: 28
Personal LJ/DW: n/a
Method of Contact: Either character journal or notyourchambermaid @ plurk
Characters Played: The Archive (Dresden Files), Vriska Serket (Homestuck)

Character Info:
Name: Irisviel von Einzbern
Age: Body in her twenties, actually nine
Canon: Fate/Zero
>Pull Point: The morning before Irisviel and Saber move to the Japanese house

Background Info:
History: Right here
Personality: Irisviel is a very kind, gentle, innocent woman. When Saber is summoned, she takes Saber in as if she is the Master instead of Kiritsugu, She treats Saber with respect and kindness, acting as her second in battle as she tries to heal all of Saber's wounds during her fight with Lancer. When Kotomine comes to attack, she puts herself into harm's way against him to try and save Kiritsugu. Even her pretending to be Saber's Master is more than being kind to Saber; it's protecting Kiritsugu from those who would try to kill him to take out Saber.

Irisviel also knows only the basics how to defend herself, furthering the fact she is kind and gentle. She doesn't try to hurt anyone, and is in fact horrified when she sees what Kiritsugu did to take out Lancer, Kayneth, and Sola-Ui. She uses wires that she shapes, creating a bird to attack Kotomine and wind around him to immobilize him instead of trying to kill him or hurt him so badly he can't move.

She's very innocent, having been in the Einzbern castle most of her life. Irisviel had been kept away from the world, and in fact would have been completely ignorant of everything in the world if Kiritsugu hadn't entered the picture. As it is, she knows certain things (like how to fight and drive), but it's a very innocent type of knowledge. She knows of to defend herself using very defensive moves, but not how to properly attack and kill. She knows how to handle a car from driving one at the castle, but she doesn't know the rules of the road nor how to drive sensibly, seeing the car and the road like a new toy. She knows that Kiritsugu is a killer, but she's never seen it happen until he takes out Kayneth and Sola-Ui.

Game Specific:
Arcana: Star
Justification: The Star is about calmness, free-flowing love, tranquility, generosity, joy, optimism… perfectly Irisviel


Samples:

First Person Sample: [Suddenly. Video. It looked like someone had dropped the phone, and slim white fingers fumble over it] Oh, oh! How do you use one of these…? [The fingers fumble a bit more, then manage to pick up it, fingers shaking] A light's on… does that mean it's already working? Um, how do they do this… [A woman was looking curiously at the screen, pale face and red eyes framed by long white hair. She carefully brought the phone to her ear] Kiritsugu? Maiya? Are you there? Saber? [She pulled the phone away from her head to look at it, dropping it again in the process] Oh no! [The video turned off as she fumbled with the phone again, making lightly distressed noises as her fingers lack the strength to hold onto the device]

Third Person Sample: It was a tough full moon. Irisviel looked up at the Shadow with determined eyes, her fists clenched. She couldn't really fight it, but that wouldn't stop her from standing with the rest of the inhabitants of Prospero. She could help with her Persona, try to lead other smaller Shadows away from the fighters so they wouldn't get hurt. Heal those that were hurt.

This was something she could do for all of Prospero. Irisviel tensed as the Shadow started attacking, wishing for her wires again. She could bind the Shadow for a bit, to help out. But not having them would be okay. She clasped her hands together, concentrating to feel the movement of her Persona within her. The power she could use to bring it forth, to fight in the way she could. She wasn't helpless.

She would make Kiritsugu proud.

Justification: Irisviel has a lot of gentleness about her, and constantly optimistic about Kiritsugu winning the grail. There's rarely a moment she's panicked (finding out she was losing her strength after Servants starting dying only caused her to try to hide it so she wouldn't worry Saber or Kiritsugu), and she always has love for those she cares for. The biggest example is how she was more a Master to Saber than Kiritsugu was, to the point that her bond with Saber has been remarked by fans as almost romantic.

Personality: Despite all of her looking as if it was weakness, Irisviel is very strong. Her strength comes from her emotional stability and her kindness. She had enough inner strength to continue standing and being Saber's Master despite her physical strength was waning with the defeat of each Servant and to stand up to Kotomine despite being of Einzbern make and thus not very good with offense. Despite not being a fighter, Irisviel took over the role of Master for Saber, and put herself into harms way. She never gave up, sticking to her faith in Kiritsugu and Saber. She's not a fighter, but that doesn't mean she's weak.

Irisviel is also very loving. She has a daughter, very rare for an Einzbern homunculus, which gives her another reason to have faith in Kiritsugu's wish for a world where fighting (and thus, Kiritsugu's job) wasn't necessary. She wants a world for Ilyasviel where Ilya can live without worry. Her love for Kiritsugu is shown throughout the series in ways, from allowing him to stay in the shadows by pretending to be Saber's Master to trying to divert Kotomine from him when he was fighting Kayneth to simply having a daughter with him. She even has a bond with Saber, reaching out to the woman known as King Arthur.
