Fate Grand Order, Fate Zero and Fate/Stay Night are the creations and intellectual property of Nasu Kinoko and Type-Moon.
Here she is, Artoria! Once again a canon Servant whose personal version of a character sheet I had around for another project, so I'm just tossing it here for completions' sake and so it doesn't go to waste. Don't expect much in the way of novel stuff in this one, but then again, what kind of Fate roster would be complete without at least one Artoria?
Still Better than Black Keys.

Biography:
The illegitimate daughter of Uter Pendragon, King of the Bretons, raised in tumultuous dark times after the King's death by noble Sir Ector, along his son Kay. Brought up as a boy, and given the nickname 'Wart', Artoria was found and educated by Merlin the Archmage, who molded her into a fine gallant knight, eventually able to pull the fated sword Caliburn out of its stone, granting her the non-democratic right to rule over Britain, under the assumed name of Arthur.
When Caliburn was shattered in battle, she replaced it with Excalibur, the blade forged by fairies and gifted by the Lady of the Lake. Artoria was an apt, justice loving king who took great efforts to be a perfect sovereign, but eventually managed to alienate many with her larger than life approach to governing. She nonetheless gathered several of the finest warriors of her time, the Knights of the Round Table, under her guidance, and with them she embarked into many successful military campaigns, including one quest to retrieve the Holy Grail itself.
Artoria's kingdom came to an end when her bastard son Mordred, spurred by his mother, Artoria's half sister Morgan (it's complicated), led a rebellion against her, right while the Royal House was still reeling over the infidelity of Queen Guinevere with Sir Lancelot. At the battle of Camlann, Mordred and Artoria killed each other, but it has been foretold Artoria will return to save her country someday.
Class Skills:
Riding: B.
Saber is extremely competent at horse riding, and whenever she is on a horse this Skill is ranked A+. She is also quite skilled at handling all manners of wheeled vehicles, including motor based ones from the modern era. She is even capable of piloting aircrafts despite having no personal experience with them. However, she cannot ride Dragons or Phantasmal Beasts.
Magic Resistance: A
In life, Saber was not particularly durable against magic, but the prestige and magnificence of her legend has greatly raised this attribute of hers. Saber can easily plow through most unchanted spells and shrug off curses of non-divine origins.
Personal Skills:
Instinct: A
A veteran of many military campaigns and well used to surviving court intrigues, Saber has become an expert on determining the best course of action through most situations, especially those related to combat. She is highly qualified at seeing through others' techniques and reading their weaknesses and strong points alike.
Charisma: A
Holding the position of a King and conqueror for years, Saber held a tight sway over most masses and armies under her command. Her speeches can move almost anyone into action no matter the odds. She has a high power of conviction and even seduction, should she ever put her mind into it. Most individuals will come to greatly respect Saber even if they do not share her viewpoints.
Mana Burst: A
This is an ability meant to gather and channel magical energies from the environment into one's own body and weapons. During warfare, Saber becomes one with her surroundings, and through gathering and then releasing the energy gained from the World's will, she may greatly enhance her physical stats and attacks for short spans of time.
Noble Phantasms:
Invisible Air: C
This Noble Phantasm acts as an invisible sheating barrier meant to both protect Saber's primary weapon from being identified through invisibility and make its strikes harder to predict, block or parry. Additionally, the air field it creates around Saber's sword increases its reach, and can be employed as a blunt tool to strike at large groups of enemies at once.
Avalon: The Ever Distant Utopia: EX.
Saber's sheath for her main offensive Noble Phantasm, which was said to render its owner invulnerable to all physical damage. Its origins hail from the Land of Fairies, the King's final resting place from where she will return someday to lead her people once again. Also offers additional defenses against magic. Regrettably, not only this Noble Phantasm can only protect one person at a time, but it was also lost to Saber some time ago.
Excalibur: The Promised Sword of Victory: A++
Saber's best known and most offensively destructive Noble Phantasm, forged and delivered to her by the mysterious Lady of the Lake to replace Caliburn, Artoria's first blade, the famous Sword in the Stone, after it was shattered in battle. When released, Excalibur's full power will manifest itself as a massive thermic blast covering a gigantic area in all directions around Saber, but mostly directed towards wherever the blade is pointing. Excalibur has holy properties, being a symbol of the passage from the pagan eras to the Age of Christianity.
Summoning: "I ask of you, now- Are you my Master?"
Start of Battle: "Come at me with all your might!"
"To the count of five! One, two... five!"
Victory: "I apologize. But the oath of a king to achieve victory cannot be broken."
"You still lack training. Push your body and mind further, and then come back to me. I might even grant you knighthood."
Defeat: "Even if you defeat me... a second Artoria will come, and then a third one, and then..."
"No... Not like this..."
"I'm sorry, Master..."
Defeat by Noble Phantasm: "I will return... when Britain needs me the most..."
Noble Phantasm Activation: "Sheathed in the breath of stars. A torrent of shining life. Hail! The Sword of Promised Victory! EXCALIBUR!"
Extra Dialogue:
"Shirou...! I... Shirou...!" (When you have Archer Young Emiya.)
"To be able to even form a contract with the King of Heroes... you are something, Master. He is... well... a Heroic Spirit who poses certain problems, but his ability is exceptional. You might become used to his behavior... Though, I never did." (When you have Archer Gilgamesh.)
"The Archer cloaked in red... To be able to fight with him is pleasing, but also sad. Whatever path in life he has chosen, that Heroic Spirit is destined to continue fighting." (When you have Archer EMIYA.)
Birthday: "Happy birthday, Master. May it be a good one."
Event: "Hm. I have just had a premonition I had not felt in the longest of times. A celebration of harvest, perhaps. Let us investigate, Master."
Holy Grail: "To undo the mistakes of the past. To repair what I foolishly wrecked through my blunder. That, if ever possible, would be the greatest relief and expiation I could ever reach…"
