Biography:
Her true age and date of birth or creation are indeterminate. Asuna is known to have been used as an anti-magic defensive weapon by the kingdom of Vespertatia as early as the Bellax Schismaticus. It was during this time she met Ala Rubra, the leader of whom, Nagi Springfield, took a shine to her.
Her location during the end-phase of the war is not a matter of public record, but it was later learned that she was taken by Kosmo Entelechia to use in their plot to unmake the Magical World. Princess Arika took the blame for the later effects Asuna's part caused, leading to her disposal, imprisonment, and later escape and marriage. Asuna was eventually freed by Ala Rubra, and traveled with them across both Mundus Magicus and Mundus Vetus. She apparently became attached to Gateau Vandenburg, such that she, or another member of Ala Rubra based her later alias, Kagurazaka on his middle name, Kagura. It was also from him she gained what would later be an attraction to physically older men, smokers, and men with scraggly beards, as well as a subconscious attraction to some members of Ala Rubra, with the notable exception of Jack Rakan (also summonable as an Archer or Saber).
She was admitted to Mahora Academy an unknown period of time after the death of Gateau Vandenburg, where she was watched by the Dean, Takahata T. Takamichi (also summonable as an Assassin) and secretly Albireo Imma. It was around this time her personality began to change, possibly as a result of the memory-sealing magic used on her to block the memories of Gateau's death as well as her personal history before that point.
She lived a relatively normal life until In the middle of her second year of middle school where she abruptly became the roommate and student of Negi Springfield. After a rocky start, within a matter of weeks she had become one of his closest confidantes as well as one of his first Ministra Magi, aiding him in the many incidents that would plague him soon after. She was integral to the power struggle against Kosmo Entelechia, as her powers were central to their plans.
Class Skills:
Riding: D
Asuna, in either life, was not particularly inclined to handle and manage vehicles. Because of her affiliation with the Saber class, she can drive land motor and animal traction land vehicles reasonably well enough, and she can ride domestic beasts like horses due to association with Yukihiro Ayaka, who might just qualify for the Rider class herself, but she will never be an accomplished driver or animal jockey.
Aerial and aquatic vehicles are beyond Saber's control, much like dragons and Phantasmal beasts.
Magic Resistance: EX
A natural Skill held within Saber even from the moment of her creation. Saber can easily, and even unconsciously, cancel out spells that are cast upon her, preventing her from being affected by magic, although this doesn't seem to be the case with illusions and mirages.
This ability blocks all spells from simple love potions to the most powerful and near-omnipotent abilities used by magi such as the Lifemaker (Mage of Beginning). Chanted spells from the Age of Gods are generally useless against Saber as well. Her usage in the ancient Great Mage War was directly connected to this ability locked within her, which made her a valuable asset for the kingdom of Ostia.
Though mostly it blocks magic from the outside, Saber's Magic Cancel seems to be a little weaker from blocking magic from the inside, as seen in an ocassion when she ate some magical love inducing candies. Although the full effects of the candies never manifested themselves, some limited amount of the effects were felt over a semi-prolonged period of time.
Personal Skills:
Kankaho: B
While traveling with the Crimson Wings, Asuna learned the abilities of Kankaho, also known as Kanka or Xianguafa, from Gateau Vandenberg. Forgotten alongside her lost memories of her time with Nagi's group, her mastery of it came back to her gradually after witnessing Takahata perform it in hand to hand combat against Negi and a later encounter with Albireo Imma (also summonable as a Caster).
Combining the forces of magical energies and ki, Saber is able to fight with some magical skill, balancing it with her immunity to magic and her Pactio-enhanced abilities. She is one of the few individuals in her world who have mastered Kanka to a meaningful degree. Kanka was sometimes called the perfect battle technique, although it is relatively insufficient to compete directly with the likes of Fate Averruncus and Ialda Baoth, and it uses up more power than ki or magic alone. But it has a lot of uses depending on the way the technique is employed.
Mistress of Sword Fighting: B-
As befitting her Class, during combat Saber relies mainly on swordplay, and thus would be considered a sword skills specialist. Regardless, she is also a gutsy, resourceful and surprisingly brutal unarmed combatant, mostly resorting to devastating kicks.
Aside from her initial training with Sakurazaki Setsuna (also summonable as another Saber), she has undergone a merciless training regimen from Evangeline A.K. Mc Dowell (also summonable as Caster), but her skill with the blade has mostly developed from practical fighting rather than formal instruction, and she is quick to learn further from every fight. While usually performing right-handed, Saber appears to be ambidextrous, as she has often shown proficient skill wielding her sword in her left hand.
Divinity: E
Through her links with the Mage of the Beginning, who might as well have vague divine origins and certainly had a godlike presence, especially on the surface of Mundus Magicus, Saber has gained a low amount of this Skill, mostly pointless as it makes no real difference for her overall combat performance.
Through her sacrifice in a 100 years long sleep to preserve the Magical World's stability, Saber gained a messianic status of sorts. While fighting to protect a noble, Lawful Good cause or person she sees as worth dying for, she gains a full one rank boost on all stats and D ranked, temporary Battle Continuation.
Noble Phantasm:
Ensis Exorcizans- Bellatrix Sauciata, the Wounded Warrior: A/A++
Anti-Unit. Anti-World when fully deployed.
Ensis Exorcizans is the name of Asuna's Pactio Artifact, gained through a kiss with Negi. She can summon either a harisen or a sword, both of which are large, powerful weapons, despite the former's goofy appearance. Saber can wield the weapons with no difficulty, regardless of their size and weight. The harisen exorcises demons with a single swipe, and the sword is powerful enough to slice through stone. However, the harisen has little to no effect against opponents that possess no magic, including androids, fully human brawlers, and non-magical beasts. Ensis Exorcizans first appeared when Asuna tried to save Negi from false sharks in a tropical island; it next appeared later during the Mahora Martial Arts Tournament and on a date with Takahata. At first, the manner and type of Ensis Exorcizans being summoned was dependent on her emotional state, but that seemed to change when she learned to use kankaho.
If Saber should happen to tap on the magical core of a magic based realm, like a Singularity or Lostbelt, she can use this Noble Phantasm to rewrite the world by accessing its structure code, potentially altering reality itself. There is a strong change of this action costing her life as a Heroic Spirit, however.
