Biography:
Very little is known about the early life of Tatsumiya Mana. She is the child of a half-Japanese, half-Puerto Rican man and a female demon, and likely a princess of sorts rumored to have many older 'pure blood' sisters in Venus. Treated as the runt of her litter and probably abused, she escaped and became a gunslinging bounty hunter when she was only a child. The chronicler of her life once said her story would take a whole manga of her own but he prefered to pursue a lucrative career in politics and never share that tale with the rest of the world.
She had a partner she loved very much, who was killed, and she joined the student program of Mahora Academy in Japan while working as a shrine maiden and guard for Headmaster Konoe Konoemon. She studied in Class 2-A, later 3-A, when Negi Springfield (also summonable as a Berserker or Caster) became their English and homeroom teacher.
Her natural rival was the laid-back shinobi Nagase Kaede (also summonable as an Assassin). Mana first helped Negi and his budding Ala Alba team when they rescued Konoe Konoka from her kidnappers, Amagasaki Chigusa and Fate Averruncus, in Kyoto. During the Mahora Festival, she was paid by Chao Lingshen to help her, a duty Mana fulfilled to the spirit of the letter, fighting Ku Fei in a martial arts tournament and later stalling Ala Alba from halting Chao's plan to reveal magic to the world.
When Kagurazaka Asuna (also summonable as a Saber) was kidnapped in Mundus Magicus by Fate, Mana helped Ala Alba to rescue her. At the culmination of that conflict, the Mage of the Beginning was revealed to be possessing Negi's father, Nagi Springfield the Thousand Master.
In a possible future where Negi, Ala Alba and Ala Rubra failed to stop Ialda Baoth, Mana became the headmistress of Mahora and helped Konoe Touta and the rest of the UQ Holder team. At one point she was captured by Ialda, and used as one of her controlled pawns. Even though she was rescued by UQ Holder and helped turn the tide against Ialda, surviving that final battle, there are no records of her living with Negi and the rest of his companions in 'Planet Shinobu'.
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: C
Archer has endurance against several manners of magecraft, due to her demonic heritage, but sacred instruments turn penalties on her. Generally speaking, most spells less than three lines long fail to affect her negatively.
Independent Action: A+
The ability to act independently for a period even if magical energy supply from the Master is severed. At A+ rank, even if she loses his Master he is able to stay materialized for a period of a week and a half.
Mana was a loner, and did fine by herself for decades without contact with Ala Alba.
Personal Skills:
Demon Eyes: C
A form of Mystic Eyes hailing from a demonic bloodline. It allows Mana to perceive demons and evil spirits, however it cannot perceive weak spirits just trying to remain in the world, as she did not notice the presence of Aisaka Sayo in her classroom until Negi revealed it to her.
Rakansen: B-
A style of Chinese hidden weapon Archer may have learned from Chao, basically carried through by the throwing of coins. This may look and sound like a ridiculous technique, but it is actually very efficient in one on one combat. The coins are charged with Archer's supernatural chi, and they cause small explosions on impact. Mana used it against Ku Fei to devastating effect, as the rules of the martial arts tournament forbade her from resorting to guns. She fires the coins with the relentlessness of a machine gun.
Ikuudansou- Alternate Dimensional Ammo Storage: A
A little studied manner of magecraft that makes it possible to resort to hyperspace for storage of items. Its origins are unknown. As used by Archer, she can store her ammo and several guns in a pocket dimension of her own. This skill lessens the mana demands of pulling weapons from the Saint Graph of the Servant herself.
Marksmanship: A
Archer is, despite her youth, a surprisingly apt and even cold blooded long distance sniper, but when corraled into short range combat, she changes into using two small revolvers at once. She is skilled with any other guns she is handed.
Archer seldom ever fails, and only against extremely fast moving targets.
Noble Phantasms:
BCTL- Bullet of Compulsory Time Leap: C
Time-Displacement ammo of Martian design.
Dubbed the 'ultimate bullets' by Chao, they were used by Mana and Chao's Tanaka robot army during the 'Mahora Mage Order versus Mars' game of the Mahorafest, Ala Alba's cover-up to deploy their attack on Chao. These bullets, shot from a normal looking rifle or handgun, send their target three hours into the future, where they can be received by a more prepared Archer and any allies she can call forth in the meantime. They also can be used for mere evasion purposes.
The bullets also can nullify magical barriers ranked C or below, and will displace the target even if they would be cut or deflected by a sword or another weapon or shield directly connected to or held by the target. The only known defenses against them are dodging tem or to shoot/block them with another projectile from a safe distance. They are not lethal on their own, but they have high tactical values.
Electromagnetic Projectile Gun: A
Anti-Army. Up to 90 enemy units at a time.
A massive railgun resulting from Mana's Pactio with Negi Springfield. When shot, it unleashes an enormous discharge of positron energy seen as a white wave.
Servants of weak power and humans are instantly vaporized. The blast chips large amounts of energy from Beasts of Mankind and Calamities, but it has little damage input on Holy and Blessed adversaries.
The access of Mana to her full demon form is sealed when she is an Archer, but she could transform into it as a Berserker Heroic Spirit.
Summon: "Archer, the trigger happy Servant. The only things I demand from you are humanity and bravery. The terms of my payment will be discussed after completion of the job, Master."
Start of Battle:
"Don't ever think of touching my teammates with that filthy hand of yours."

"Jackpot."

"I'll take that from your hide."

Victory:
"There are no weak distances for me."

"You might have won with more concentration."
"That'll be 800,000 yen, Master."
Defeat:
"There's no point in getting angry."
"Negi-sensei, please keep on looking after our cause."

Extra Dialogue:
"How many times do I have to say it... There's no need for men in my battlefield..." (When you have Rider Blackbeard, Saber Julius Caesar, or Lancer Fionn mac Cumhaill).
"Why are you trembling like that? Have we ever met before?" (When you have Pretender Munakata Shiho).
"Old man... You're making an embarrassment out of yourself even here." (When you have Saber or Archer Jack Rakan).
"Well, but if it's Chisame-san! I never thought you'd make enough merits to make it here. Ah ha ha, don't get mad. I'm only teasing you. You are here only for Negi-sensei, aren't you? Mad again... There's no pleasing you." (When you have Alter Ego Hasegawa Chisame).
"Negi-sensei! There's no need to be so formal. No, don't salute me like that! It's nice to fight on the same side again!" (When you have Berserker or Caster Negi Springfield).
"Sensei's mother? I don't know what to say..." (When you have Ruler Arika Anarchia Enteofushia).
Birthday: "Happy birthday, Master. Sorry I can't be more effusive, that kind of display is more like something from Asakura or Haruna. But I'm smiling inside."
Event: "It's just like Mahorafest... But the rest of the girls from the classroom already told you that, didn't they?"
Holy Grail: "I'm not sure I can make a decision on this for now. We'd better think about it more carefully. "
