Minamoto no Raikou

Minamoto no RaikouShe is so serious it borders on excessive, loyal to her duties as a warrior, and in battle she has the temperament of a cold, ruthless professional soldier. Yet at the same time, she is a worrier and quick to tears, a sensible person who values peace above all else. A warrior from an age of kill or be killed, she also carries the blood of ancient gods, giving her a detached, somewhat otherworldly sensibility. Even so, her affection for those she comes to care for runs deep. In everyday life, she is a rational, compassionate woman. Though she can be a little inflexible, she is generally willing to understand if you talk things through with her. Perhaps because she served so long as a clan leader, or because she mistakes romantic love for familial love, she is ignorant of matters of romance. Behind this striking gap between a sense of responsibility like tempered steel and the purity of a young child lies not only her unusual birth, but also her relationship with her father, Minamoto no Mitsunaka. From as early as she can remember, she dreamed of having children and becoming a mother, following the example of her mother, who stayed by her side and protected her even though she was supposed to be disposed of as a kind of monster. But her father, who had his eye on her hidden power, brought her back to the family home on his own authority, forcing her to live as the head of the Minamoto clan—in other words, as a man. Toward her Master, too, she is fundamentally kind and sincere, though she does show a harsh side. But if her Master is kind enough to believe in and rely on her despite her being a half-demon with immense power, her affection goes beyond that: her "love" gets the better of her, and she begins to dote on them as if they were her own child. However, perhaps because she served so long as a clan leader, or because she mistakes romantic love for familial love, she is utterly ignorant of romance, with a naive, pure, and secretly lecherous streak. Overall, she is remarkably obedient for a Berserker and an extraordinary force on the battlefield. But true to her class, once she loses her sanity, she becomes uncontrollable, and her trigger points are hard to identify. In a sense, she is one of the most difficult Servants to manage. To get along with her well, maintaining an appropriate distance and providing mental care are essential. That said, at her core she possesses undeniable goodness, and her pride in the belief that "a mother is one who protects her children" is genuine. She would almost never answer the summons of a truly evil person, so there is no doubt that she will wield her destructive power as a protective blade for her Master.
