- Modest
- Ogier never fought for herself, but only for superiors and friends. She gave up on personal freedom, the crown and was also for a while living as another person, unwilling to reveal her real identity. A victory might be won, but it does not always require a death, nor it is required to trample the enemies honor.
- Stubborn but forgiving
- Ogier acted quite rash at some moments, which are not always accredited to just being young, and almost killed Charlemagne in a rage, which was quite unnecessary. She insisted on justice to a point where it was self destructive, just to let the treacherous swine go after very little punishment. Although Ogier might do something stupid, rash and act like a zealot to reach her goal, that might others think that she will rip someone apart, the knight of noble birth might cease the attack in the last moment to just slap the target lightly.
- Caring
- Caring to friends, to a point where she would sacrifice herself for them and also the main reason to actually bring Ogier to rage and loose her countenance. She would do her uttermost best to keep her friends, family, superior and of course her master save and sound.
- Honorable and Friend maker
- Ogier with her high luck, blessed from the moment of her birth and yet often befallen strange ill fates, always kept her honor and this attitude not only made her able to make friends out of enemies, but make complete strangers trust her or fall in love with her. She is a king of hearts with a sultry voice, that could almost make her an enchantress, but she never once abused anything for her own gain.

STRENGTHS: //[/color]
Ogier is a knight of upstanding valor, unrelenting in combat and loaded with strength that are worth to be mentioned with the greatest of heroes. She is a paladin with sturdy armor and bestowed with luck
WEAKNESSES: //[/color]
Ogier is a horrible cook for one and can be blinded with rage. Some of her alliances make it quite clear that she is a bit too trusting and assumes too often that everyone is holding their honor in high regards like herself, but the greatest issue is that she is not an ordinary servant and can't turn into spirit form.

MY LEGEND: //[/color] Short History
MY HISTORY: //[/color]
Already during birth many women were swarming around the baby and one adoring it more than the others, they were powerful fairies and among them also the enchantress, Morgan le Fay, who already had set her eyes on that child to later have it at her side. Then after kissing the child it was baptized, but the family could not hold her too long, Charlemagne fearing the Danish King to revolt against him, taking the young Ogier as a prisoner. She turned into a princess in the cage and during her capture her own mother died, her father only remarrying another to get a son.
The tensions between Geoffrey and Charlemagne grew, but although the Frankish King wanted to let his anger out on the young girl, her foster father Duke Namo always managed to speak into his consciousness and it was good of the Emperor to listen to his friends, for this would later save his life, more than once. She also gained some freedom and was allowed to wander freely as long as she did not leave the court without being allowed to. War broke out, when Pope Leo asked for help against Saracenes and Charlemagne raised an army to fight them. A knight, called Allory was banner bearer but not worthy of such glory and a coward as one should not be found under Charlemagne's paladins. Not even Duke Namo, his commander thought highly of him.
When the knight fled the battle field cowardly, leaving his comrades behind. Ogier, who was taken and trained as a squire but condemned to watch, took a club and raced against the mounted knight to fell him with a mighty blow, and friends come to her aid to seize the coward and help her to switch into his gear. Ogier had become Allory, mounted the horse and took the banner. Following after her, the entire group of youths broke through the rows of the enemies, and took their arms and armor. Duke Namo was impressed and could never have assumed Allory being so full of strength and Valor.
The tide of battle turned to Charlemagne's favor and he could behead the enemy commander with his sword, but too focused on bathing in victory was open for a vicious attack by 2 Saracenes, who killed his horse and were about to end the Emperor's life if not for Olgier's rescue. She tackled the enemies horse and took the attack on herself, aiding Charlemagne mounting another horse, while finishing the attackers off. His thanks was hers, he bathed her in words of praise, unaware of her real identity, but she remained quiet only to later present the banner before her emperor.
Roland, one of the greatest of paladins, was unable to watch this any longer. In a bout of slight anger, he threw his own helmet away, approached Ogier and removed her helmet. Her little army of squires, all brave men, who had followed her lead since she first took up Allory's armor, all laid the helmets aside, revealing their identity. The surprise within family, friends and Charlemagne himself could not have been bigger, but he was overjoyed to make Ogier into one of his paladins and slung his arms around her like a father a daughter and bathed her with his tears. Charlot, the son of Charlemagne hated her to receive so much attention and his twisted personality became even more twisted.
The entire court was celebrating, but he, and Roland, as well Oliver also hugged their comrade in arms, swearing brotherhood. Everyone was knighted and granted armor, and Charlemagne personally gave them weapons, everyone but Ogier. She received hers from an armament that was not ordinary, and the emperor was astouned to get a sword of Morgan le Fay to hand his new paladin, the sword Cortana. Carahue, a saracene commander and King of Mauritania, who Ogier had unmounted in the earlier battle wished a duel and it was accepted. Charlot continued to attack Olgier's because of her status as a prisoner, which almost made her attack the youth, but Charlemagne with a gesture of fatherly friendliness, no more than a look vanquished her anger and silenced his own son. But more importantly, the prisoner Ogier was now set free, only bound by her oath and loyalty to her emperor. The duel was supposed to take place and a witness by the name Sadon was all that was required. Ogier and Carahue were facing off against each other, not knowing that the dastardly Charlot had prepared a squad of killers.
The group attacked and Carahue and Ogier knowing well that neither had a hand in this, joined forces. Both felled attacker after attacker, but the king's sword broke and his saddle too. Falling down and hanging in peril, open for all attacks, Ogier rushed to his aid and used her own shield and sword to fend off attacks and help him back on horse. This moment could have been her end, as Charlot seized the opportunity to dash at the young paladin to stab her from behind, but Sadon interfered making the treacherous prince retreat. This made a strong bond grow between the Saracene and the Christian, overcoming mere belief, they were enemies no longer. Unfortunately the joy was short lived, another army approaching and knowing well of Olgier's heritage as the next in line for the Thrown of Dane took her prisoner, despite Carahue's and Sadon's vehement requests to stop the dishonorable behavior.
The King of Mauritania could not stand this and headed to Charlemagne, handing himself in, after telling him about Olgier's fate. But he was treated with respect and as a friend by the Emperor of the Franks. The chaos in the Saracene ranks could not have been stronger, when the King's forces not only denied to follow orders but were even willing to turn on their former comrades. The Christians were victorious and Ogier and Carahue likewise were set free. They swore eternal friendship and went each others way. Only one piece was imperfect, that Geoffrey had not sent any reinforcements or support, the emperor was more than just bitter. At least, until he heard of the bad situation and that the King of Denmark needed help.
Charlemagne was not really eager to support him, but thought that he had caused too much problems to Ogier already and that it should be left to the heavens and her to decide. "A child can never be excused from helping her father by any cause short of death." The emperor placed an army of 1000 knights under her command and she dashed to her father's support, but it was too late. Regretful and mourning, one of the few times of really sharing tears she regretted more than anything, that she could not have heard his last words, or simply spoken with him. She had hardly known him and yet she was supposed to become the heir.
Nevertheless, a voice spoke to her that she should leave the throne to her half brother and move on. Indeed, she had no other desire, and Ogier told her Step Mother that she was contend with her life as one of Charlemagne's paladins and that the crown was her brothers. She hugged him and left, fighting many years for her emperor. Many years passed and she found happiness in battle and love, a good lot were attracted to the strong woman, females and man alike, but she was faithful to her one love and bore him a son, named Baldwin.
He was her pride and joy and coming fully after his parents, if anything, his intelligence was higher than that of Ogier and he was great in chess. After he was old enough, Ogier showed him to the court and everyone was fond of him, even Charlot, but this would change as the young Baldwin became more and more like his mother. In one bout of anger, he smashed the heavy chess board into the young child's head and it hit him so unfortunately that he died. Shocked about this, he could not hide it and ran to his father, scared of Olgier's wrath and this thirst of revenge was about to come.
Seeing her dead son and knowing too well the assailant, she rushed to the throne room, her sword in hand, threw a cup of wine into the emperor's face for bringing such a monster into this world and was about to slay Charlot in cold blood, but the rest interfered and stopped Charlemagne from killing Ogier and restraining the fierce paladin, betraying her off her revenge. Charlemagne was unfortunately stubborn and loved his son too much, unwilling to hand him over to Ogier, who demanded to get her hands on him, and instead Namo managed to convince Ogier to leave.
The enraged Emperor demanded that the traitor would be brought before him, but her friends were already at her side and fighting for her rather than for the emperor, she had many on her side and when Charlemagne took it on himself to get his hands on her, it was her who remained victorious. Not once, but many times she took him prisoner to just let him go without any wishes, until she could have even gotten a pardon, but she did not want the pardon, nothing was on her mind more than getting Charlot. Yet, the love to his son remained strong. After the loss of his most trusted Paladin Roland, years before, he had turned a bit weird, repeating the same mistake of driving his own paladins away from him, and this should be done once more.
Unfortunately Olgier's luck did not last forever and she also became tired of losing friends. She did not want to have trusting knights lose their lifes for her sake and sent her little, nonetheless quite growing army away. Tired, she was found asleep by Archbishop Turpin, more of a knight than just a Holy Man, also believed the princess and knight to be one of the most virtuous and was a good friend, unfortunately his men captured her and she was brought before Charlemagne who was so fed up with her , he only wished to kill her, but once again his peers spoke sense into him, and he also had to fear the King of Denmark and all of Olgier's allies.
She was to be placed in the Archbishop's care, once more as a prisoner and not to get any food other than a very small minimum, to hunger to death and rid himself of bad talk about killing one of his paladins. Turpin followed the kings wishes, but only the first half and treated Ogier like a friend with the common food and support, while her horse was brought to an Abbot. Unfortunately the horse had been so used to Ogier and her heavy armor that the Abbot's weight was so little that it accidentally almost killed the man on their first ride. His revenge was to reduce her to a stone carrier for a stone mine.
Years passed, and Charlemagne soon heard that Guyon, king of Denmark, and her halfbrother as well as Carahue were preparing armies to free Ogier and even worse, a saracene army under a certain Bruhier was marching towards Paris. He demanded to either have a duel with Charlemagne or his champion, which the old emperor was willing to accept, but his peers berated him to stop this and instead pardon Ogier and let her fight. Because he feared for Charlot's life and also wondering how a weakened Paladin, not fought for a while and hardly having eaten could be useful, and Ogier was unwilling to fight, despite her friend's pleads, if she could not get the hated prince, still remembering her son dying in her arms.
Because time was running short and be it a reinstatement of justice and valor, that sprung forth once more in Charlemagne he accepted and Ogier was pardoned, brought forth before the emperor and Charlot pushed to her. She immediately grabbed him and pushed him to the ground to kneel before her. The Emperor of the Franks closed his eyes and screamed in despair, expecting the head of his son to be next, when Ogier drew her sword, but instead of cutting him apart, only raised him up by his hair, cut his bonds and kissed him on the mouth. A deep, and passionate kiss, he had been forgiven, but unfortunately it did not change his nature. Charlot was only happy to have survived.
Charlemagne was impressed by her noble behavior and only then realized that she was in fact quite healthy, but instead of anger, he was happy for his good friend's wisdom and it was time to get the 'Dane' ready for combat, but no available horse could carry her in her armor, none other than her trusted horse, who was finally brought back to her. Broken and grown old, it seemed anything but useful, but after recognizing its master, it's thunderous spirit awoke anew and it appeared as if turned young again. The two went to battle and fought an enemy, they have not expected so far.
He was not only disgusting, but also mocking them, the enemy's horse was faster, stronger and the enemy's skill quite high, but Ogier still managed to keep the upper hand and wound her opponent badly, thanks to her skill and Cortana. She cleaved through his helmet and part of his head and he fell. It was time to celebrate, but something was off, he twitched and took some item, putting a bit of its content over his head and healed up. It was as if nothing had ever happened and Ogier stared on in shock. After mocking her and telling her how this item was made with the so called origin of her faith, the battle continued and Ogier slaid him countless times, just to see him revive over and over again.
The battle tore on her stamina, her armor and she also received wounds, albeit nowhere on her enemy's, it was a losing battle. In the final stage she swung hard enough to destroy the Saracene's Buckler and cut his arm off, but he just used the balm again and also could land a fatal hit on Olgier's horse. Struck in the head it died and fell, but the paladin recovered and fueled by rage and thirst for revenge began to hammer down at her enemy, driving him away from his horse and the balm, which was always on the saddle.
Charlemagne watched from far away, heighted up, how his knight might lose, but the Archbishop praid to the heavens like Moses for a miracle and he received it, even if it might not have been by god, either done by Fairies, by Morgan le Fay or just Olgier's desire for victory, she cornered her opponent, tore his helmet off and beheaded him.
After the victory, she claimed his horse and the balm and restored herself. Meanwhile the armies of her halfbrother and Carahue were also approaching and began to support Charlemane's forces. They routed the enemy together and drove them back. Receiving an army of her own, she joined the troops of Denmark and her old friend and they fought together, a long and hard, but glorious campaign. They drove the saracenes out of Ptolemais, Judaea and made it into a kingdom, making Ogier the new ruler, before returning to their own territories. Another couple of years passed, but she was displeased and began to adopt people, and decided to give one of them the throne before stealing herself away in a night and fog mission, to return to the court and her friends.
But her boat was destroyed and she was swept somewhere ashore, not knowing the area, until two monsters with diamond scales and a horse, definitely of demonic nature, and breathing fire, approached her. Ready to fight, she drew her sword, but the horse bowed down and desired to be mounted by her. Not knowing what to do, she just did it and was brought to another area, so strange and beautiful that it was probably another realm. She did not know what it was, but who was awaited her was Morgan Le Fay, she had landed in Avalon, named such by Morgan. The very same realm, at least by name, meant to be King Arturia's.
Instead of a loving couple of a redhead and a young maiden, finally able to live her youth, this area of the Holy Land was inhabited by an enchantress in love and Ogier. She restored the paladin's youth, put a crown on blue eyed woman's head, one made of flowers, which held a powerful spell and Ogier lost her memories, only to be happy with her newfound 'love'. But during an accident of an overjoyed and happy Morgan, the crown was removed and so the memory restored.
Although Ogier, continued to love her, she wanted so more and asked to return to the mortal realm to visit her friends and look at how they were doing, while promising to return. Dressed in Armor and with her horse, she set out, without knowing that the world had changed. Many years had passed and she would run into her great niece and hear from the changes, that Charlemagne's line was no longer and the Saracene's still a danger. Supporting them, she rode on her Papillon once more and brought death upon the enemy, either the fire claimed their life or her powerful sword on her 'invincible' sword arm.
The battle won, it was time for yet a feast, but her time was out and Morgan Le Fay summoned her again to be never seen again in the mortal realm. In the fleeting moment before disappearing, there was only one wish, the wish to be truly free and her pleading was heard. Ogier made a contract with the Grail.
MY GOALS: //[/color] Being finally free.
[/size][/blockquote]
Cortana and Sheath
Too often fighting with big shields and applying two handed fighting strategies, the sheath is coming as a valuable part of Cortana, which in itself has engraved "My name is Cortana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal." Although it puts itself in the shadows of those great weapons with those comments it is actually an equal to them. Some legend claims that it was originally the weapon of another and cut down or even completely cut up to fit Olgier's smaller size. It still was obviously quite usable in the legend and of Rank A. She sheath basically replaced the shield along the way.
NOBLE PHANTASM: //[/color]
Cortana - The Split Sword
Rank: C+
Type: Anti-Personnel
Range: 3-40
Max Targets: 5
Ogier was often at the right time at the right place and struck quite successfully at places which would have required extraordinary speed. She was certainly a fast paladin, but while wearing the heavy armor, some things required a bit more help. The sword is said to have been cut apart and also downsized to fit her. This weapon given by Morgan le Fay allows the user to strike at long range with a serpent like sword. The slash comes more like a whip and is due to the high range and often hard to calculate motion quite dangerous. Otherwise it is no more than a slash attack at high speed, yet totally ineffective at 0 range.
Papillon - Flame of Absolution
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 1-30
Max Targets: 250
Olgier's horse and it can spew flames as strong as hellfire itself. A demon horse truly, it instills fear on anyone unlucky to meet it in combat, before it unleashes its deadly flame to turn everything ablaze. Although riding would be possible the actual attack is the Flame and she would never risk her precious mount to get hurt during a trample attack. The Dane is not one of the most typical servants either and her horse is still alive. The Knight will prepare herself to unleash the flame thanks to the strong bond between herself and Papillon and turn the enemy to ash. The attack causes fear, which can paralyze the enemy in motion, thus dropping enemy AGI one Rank. Bravery B nullifies the fear entirely. C would mean a 50:50 chance to break free from the fear.
Arimathea's Balm - You are too Noble to die
Rank: B+
Type: Support
Range: -
Max Targets: Self
The balm that Joseph of Arimathea used on Christ, said to bestow great healing abilities to whoever uses it. Ogier fought Bruhier who was in the possession of this miracle. She cut him to bits, parts of his head off and he only applied a few drops to heal completely, even mocking her that it would not even matter if she cuts his arm off. In the end she was able to deal a mortal wound and took it up to heal her own fatal wounds. Can be applied to others. The containment never seemed to run out.
But now that Ogier is a servant, the effect is less amazing. The miracle to heal a human is one thing, a miracle required to heal a miracle needs to be stronger. Every application will cut the efficiency down by one fourth of the original potential, if it is applied within fast succession. This means that she needs to take a break from using it for a while to restore its effect and that it is useless after the fourth time and as good as useless after the third.
The bag is big and is on Papillon's saddle which requires to call out to him for the actual prana costs and also a bit of time to open it and then apply it. The overall speed of the NP is thus slower than regular ones. The use itself, has no cost.
CLASS ABILITIES: //[/color]
- Magic Resistance: A
Cancel spells below A-Rank. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi. - Riding: A
Although she did not ride anything great during most of her life, other than her trusted horse Beiffror, she was granted the demon horse Papillon by Morgan le Fay and it followed on word.
SKILLS: //[/color]
- Battle Continuation: B
Capable of ignoring all penalties that damage might cause while still suffering in the end through amassed battle damage. Ogier wore relatively heavy armor, that could sustain a lot of damage and only her horse could ever hope to carry her. The END stat was dropped according to fit the high Battle Continuation. - Bravery: B
Immunity to psychic and psychological ailments. Ogier already ran into the fiercest of battles, riding in front of everyone, despite being no more than a child with Zero Battle Experience. - Charisma: B
Suitable for a king of a country. Ogier already inspired the youngest of squires to follow her into battle and plow destruction and faith into the rows of the enemies. She found allies in mighty kings and was later crowned herself, worthy of a ruler, indeed. - Protection of the Fairies: A
A blessing from Elementals, the capacity to increase one's Luck in dangerous situations. Activation limited to only battlefields, where is possible to perform feats of arms. Increases Luck depending on the situation.
