Biography:

A HiME (Highly advanced Materialize Element) user, a 'princess' related to the legend of the Valkyries (see also- Lancer Brynhildr). One of thirteen maidens caged in a violent cycle of violence. HiMEs are supposed to fight each other until only one remains, in a ritual with startling parallels to that of Heaven's Feel, the Holy Grail War.

Natsuki's mother was a researcher of the paranormal, and she was killed by a mysterious stranger over her gathered data. Natsuki fought for years to locate and punish her murderer, yet her rage did not burn enough to qualify her for an Avenger. Out of the battlefield, she is still a young lady, naive in the ways of the world. It is difficult making friends with her, yet she will remain intensely loyal to those she deems worthy of her friendship.

Her legend is tied to the mythologies of Fuuka Academy and, apocryphally, Mahora. In another, radically divergent take on her legend, she grew up to become the Headmaster of magical academy Garderobe, with the authority over dozens of trained Magical Girls. This, however, is mostly the young Natsuki from her teen years.

Class Skills:

Independent Action: C-

Archer was a reckless free spirit, a lone wolf. She would have a hard time recognizing the leadership of others, and usually only accepted that of her lover, Fujino Shizuru. She is competitive and proud. She is prone to in-fighting while in a team, and while she will not admit it openly, she is jealous when it comes to her lovers or her Master.

The Servant can remain a maximum of one day in the world after a contract is severed, but during that time she is all but unable to fight until she disappears or finds herself a new Master.

Magic Resistance: B

Magically empowered herself, Archer is well used to taking part in battles of magic, often receiving major attacks of supernatural origins only to keep on fighting. She is, however, weak to holy sacraments, and powerless against True Magic and magic from the Age of Gods.

Spellcasting from mortals will rarely affect Archer in the slightest, but she is in a slight disadvantage against skilled Caster Servants. In an open confrontation, Medea would stand no chance, but she will overcome Archer easily if she can use subterfuge and may keep her distance.

Personal Skills:

Espionage: B

Servant Archer is skilled at infiltration and black ops data gathering, an ability honed through her years of looking for the killer of her mother. She can share this Skill with her Master and up to two other Servants working with her at a given them, except for Berserkers.

Golden Body: C+

A Skill that denotes the possession of a natural and perfect goddess-like body, preserving beauty. Unlike the Natural Body Skill whose body shape does not change despite how much caloric intake was taken, there is no effect on the Skill owner's Strength parameter.

Archer was desired by men and women alike during her life, and the effects remain just the same as a Servant. Athletic, fit, well toned; one could say that she was the ideal of female beauty among her peers.

Guns of Ice, Heart of Ice: D+

Archer's 'Element', that first gift which marks her as a HiME. Two small handguns that can shoot blasts of ice spending little mana. The shots freeze small areas of the enemy's body, encasing them on ice. By shooting enough times, Archer can even froze a whole adversary solid. The closer she is, the more effective each shot will be.

Given her affinity for Ice as an element, Archer also can deploy defensive barriers and shields made of ice, and she only takes miminal damage from ice based attacks.

Noble Phantasm:

Duran- Howl of the Wolf Child: B-

Archer's 'Child', and the second gift that marks her as a HiME. A huge, silver, quadrupedal wolflike creature named after Archer's deceased pet dog from her childhood. It has a pair of large cannons on its back, and in its hind legs it stores several different types of projectiles it can load and shoot through said cannons.

The projectiles Duran has in storage include:

Silver Cartridges: they create sharp icicles to be deployed in the manner of projectiles.

Chrome Cartridges: conventional explosive charges.

Flash Cartridges: they produce a blinding light, setting the enemy up for further attacks.

Diamond Cartridges: they freeze every molecule of the target, causing instant death. They are far more limited in number than the rest of cartridges.

Running out of ammo, Duran may also attack by simply lunging onto opponents and mauling them with its metal jaws, plus crushing them under its weight.

Summon: "Huh. I'm Servant Archer. I will take your contract, summoner."

Beginning of Battle: "If you walk down the path that you believe is right, you cannot be wrong!"

Victory: "Get up. I wasn't that rough."

"What do you know about my mother?!"

Defeat: "Damn you...!"

"Mother! Mother-!"

Defeat by Noble Phantasm: "Yaaaaaahhhhh!"

Noble Phantasm Activation: "By the contract linking me to my Key! I summon my partner! To my side, silver wolf, the sword of Roland! DURAN!"

Dialogue Samples:

"What? Why do you look at me that way? Do I know you? Weird girl..." (When you have Caster Saotome Haruna or Alter Ego Hasegawa Chisame).

"We seem to share something... Different as we are, I guess that, to some level..." (When you have Avenger Batman).

Birthday: "Happy Birthday... Um, I'm sorry, I don't think I have anything to give you but... my company...?"

Event: "What a bother. Well, I suppose we could learn something useful while there, at least."

Holy Grail: "I only would like... to have my mother back, but... I don't know. I refuse, for some reason, to think it ever could be that easy..."
