Saber, also known as Red Saber or Saber Extra, is one of the deuteragonists of the video games Fate/Extra and Fate/Extra CCC. She is one of three playable servants that are available to Hakuno Kishinami, the other two being Archer and Caster. She bears a striking resemblance to the more well-known Saber found in Fate/Zero, Fate/stay night and Fate/hollow ataraxia.
She is voiced by Sakura Tange in Japanese and Cassandra Lee Morris in English.
Profile[]
Identity[]
fifth ruler of the Roman Empire, vilified throughout history as a tyrant who earned her position through treachery and poison, and ruthlessly suppressed Christianity and the Roman Senate. It is believed the "Book of Revelation" from The Bible was written as a reaction to this situation, although more recent historians have questioned the veracity of many anti-Nero documents as propaganda; such as the famous belief that Nero did nothing but play the lyre during the Great Fire of Rome.
Personality[]
This Nero is a flamboyant, arrogant and utterly self-assured ruler who sincerely loved the world but demanded to be loved in kind, not realising that her love was selfish and could never be reciprocated. Despite lavishing her citizens with gifts and public works (some more ill-considered than others), Nero fell into despair when they did not rise to defend her against a coup d'etat, and committed suicide. As a Servant and polymath, her delusional self-confidence is so absolutethat she forced herself into the Saber class (because it is widely considered the "best" Class) and can gain temporary mastery over a wide number of eclectic skills, as represented by her Imperial Privilege skill. Her Noble Phantasm even imitates the effects of a Reality Marble, one of the highest forms of magecraft.
She gives off the impression of a valiant young man in crimson, and she has a masculine bearing and tone of voice, leading the Protagonist to think she may have been raised a boy. She acknowledges that the reason she wears men's clothes is not that she is trying to project an imperial image, but because she actually enjoys wearing men's clothes. While her brusque attitude and gallant actions would imply that she values valor above all, she actually identifies her core as a maiden due to her adoration for beauty. She still does not allow gender to sway her preferences, and believes the true orientation of her soul to be half and half. Firmly routed in the middle of the two genders, she personally finds her ability to go either way admirable. She becomes attracted to the Protagonist regardless of their gender, and eventually even declares her love for them.
She often refers to her Master as Praetor. She comes to develop feelings for the Protagonist, and discloses her true identity to them for that reason. She is worried about the negative connotations that come with her identity, and does not mind if she is called a tyrant or the Whore of Babylon by them. Even if she is disliked, she will simply work hard to become worthy of the Protagonist's love and take their heart. While she claims to be able to endure the pain, she looks like a child who is trying really hard not to cry while stating it.
Appearance[]
Saber is a blond-haired young woman of short stature, who typically appears dressed in a military-styled red dress with a translucent portion in the front of the lower skirt. She claims the dress itself is not see-through, but rather she is letting people see. She has a great resemblance to another Saber, King Arthur.
In Fate/Extra CCC she has an alternate outfit that is a modified bridal gown with a zipper down the front and legs.
Role[]
Fate/Extra[]
Saber is one of the selectable Servants in Fate/Exra along with Archer and Caster. After the Saber class is selected, she first appears upon hearing the Protagonist's will to continue striving to live. She admires and respects their attempt to embrace the fear of death and fight on regardless of the fate that may await them. Deciding that she'll hear it even if the world doesn't, she exclaims their destiny begins right at that moment. She finds their first fight together against the effigy to be unsatisfying given how long she had waited for such a moment. After explaining the details of the Holy Grail War, she says she will keep her identity a secret for the time being to avoid having enemies find out. She will eventually reveal it as she gets to know them more. She turns the private room into her audience chamber to answer any grievances they may have for her.
She is set to appear in Fate/Extra CCC with her original costume and a new alternate costume called "Saber Bride."
Carnival Phantasm[]
Saber makes a brief appearance in Episode 8, during Taiga Dojo segment, under the name Red Saber unlike her other appearances where she is just called Saber. Like in Fate/Extra, she is arrogant, proud and shamelessly flaunts her sexuality, noting that her transparent skirt does not bare her flesh, but rather 'deliberately allows others to see it'. She was also disappointed that the delayed release of Fate/Extra made her too late to enjoy the huge carnival she had rushed to join and that she will not be in the third season.
Abilities[]
Saber wields a scarlet long sword called Aestus Estus: The Embryonic Flame. It is a hand-crafted crimson sword brought with her when summoned under the Saber Class by a Master. It has the following inscription carved on it: regnum caelorum et gehenna (the kingdom of heaven and hell). She feels it is the ultimate instrument, and that muses would bow before the sound it makes. While she is a skilled charioteer that "rivals the solar deity Sol", she feels that she would not be suitable for the Rider class because of her general dislike for them. Even before becoming a Heroic Spirit, she had the skill and strength to grapple a lion and asphyxiate it with her bare arms.
Due to the Protagonist's status as a "pseudo-magus" who didn't actively enter the Grail War, all of her parameters are an extremely low E rank at the beginning. She has lost use of much of her power, including her Noble Phantasm. She can be returned to her proper level of power by increasing the bond between their souls. Aozaki Aoko offers Alteration of the Soul to increase this bond and her parameters by hacking their souls. Her Noble Phantasm is the Domus Aurea, an "absolute imperial zone" that resembles a Reality Marble and allows the owner to achieve their aspirations.
