- Loyal - no Pride
- Medusa is loyal to her master if she deems him proper. This also includes when he behaves without morale, as long as it is not directed against her or people she likes. Medusa is just accepting Orders quietly, albeit being in general more of the silent type.
- No Innocence
- She does not believe in the existence of innocent beings, but still wishes to believe it, having a high liking for cute things, while not necessarily sparing them from her hatred. If she has a reason to kill innocents she would not hesitate to do it. Medusa is clearly not the Knight of Chivalry. But this does not mean that she is actually a gentle person.
- Disdainful
- Medusa dislikes herself, because of her faults and is also not completely fond of humans in general. There would only be a some people that she would really treasure and defend even at the cost of her very own life.
- Succubus
- She can leech energy from people by making them have erotic dreams and consuming their 'desires'. Although she is not the kind to 'sell' her body, rather one to get easily embarrassed for more than leeching and when she is forced into a passive role.

STRENGTHS: //[/color]
Medusa is not the most powerful servant stat-wise, but still one of the most powerful, especially when her abilities are used wisely. She is extremely fast, known to be one of the fastest, if not the fastest servant on long distances. She can operate well by herself, without a master and is capable of infiltrating enemy territory mostly unseen, at least as much one could do without Presence Concealment. Basically only an Assassin would be more effective. Medusa is also not an evil servant, yet she has no concerns to also apply underhanded and dishonorable means to reach her goals, if the master wishes.
WEAKNESSES: //[/color]
Medusa is not the toughest servant, and although her strength suggests otherwise, her weapons are not suited to counter Strikes of powerful opponents, leaving her as a powerful 'Assault' Servant with very limited defense. It can't be called to be a good trait turning into a monster, either.

MY LEGEND: //[/color] Legend (Not to be taken directly though as Medusa has not much to do with the Myth.)
MY HISTORY: //[/color]
Her real name is Medusa, the Gorgon from Greek mythology. Because of the faults of gods, humans desired perfect and ideal goddesses and so Medusa and her sisters Stheno and Euryale were born. All three were blessed with extraordinary beauty. While all three sisters were born at the same time and looking very similar, Medusa was mortal and grew older and taller over time. The violet haired woman was also in other aspects different, blessed with more strength and cursed with a set of mystic eyes, the Cybele to turn flesh into stone. Unable to deactivate this effect by herself, nor unable to just close her eyes, she always had to wear a blindfold and ended up being her sisters gopher and maid for everything. Although her good-willed nature prevailed in the beginning, the continued bullying and teasing certainly left bad stains on her soul. When Poseidon out of his interest in the young Goddess grew, and he presented a winged horse, the Pegasus to her, this made some of the Gods quite angry.
Especially Athena could not forgive this, and jealous she managed to bring the worshipers of the Gorgon sisters to attack them. The only method to escape their attacks was to seek refugee on the Shapeless Isle. Medusa could not understand this, felt betrayed and hurt, while her sisters seemed less troubled and continued with their life. This pressure and disgrace made her bitter and spiteful against humans, and her original intent to protect her sisters against invaders soon grew to kill them for herself, eager to slaughter and ingest them. Her cruelty served as a basis for rumors and manifested her as a monster. This fears of the humans, who could give birth to a god or demon, just like before having given birth to her, were also corrupting her even further. Medusa turned into the powerful monster Gorgon, and became insane, only wishing to still its endless hunger and destroy.
Her sisters, realizing that they were partly at fault, and despite their teasing and mischievous actions loved her dearly, they let themselves get swallowed by the Gorgon. Finally the gods sent Perseus with many mighty items and a battle began. The champion of the gods of Olymp was lucky and his endeavor a success. The Gorgon was forced to face her own fears and darkness and finally killed by Perseus. After her existence ended, she was chosen to participate in the previous Grail War, allowed because of the Taint, and yet as her 'humanoid' self, Medusa.
She was summoned by the magus Sakura Matou and felt a strong bond between the young tortured girl and herself. Forced to work under her so called brother Shinji Matou, Medusa did her best to save Sakura from her bonds as a magus, but an unexpected catastrophe ended everything. Now, although she was not supposed to participate anymore, the servant Rider participates in yet another Grail War, unknown the Fate of her previous self.
MY GOALS: //[/color] None as of yet.
[/size][/blockquote]
Dagger and Chain
Although not too much of an impressive weapon, nor a great legend behind it, it is very old and sturdy, more than capable of standing up against the aforementioned weapons. The daggers have the form of Nails and are bound together by a very long chain, which also seems like it can extend a bit, and allows Medusa to capture targets with it.
NOBLE PHANTASM: //[/color]
Breaker Gorgon - Self Seal - Temple of Darkness
Rank: C-
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 0
Maximum Targets: 1
Effect:
Actually tied to her Mystic eyes and the method to activate and deactivate it, or better unseal it. It is a bounded field that serves as a Mystic Eye killer to suppress the powerful effect of her eyes. The field is powerful enough to rival the Temple of Blood in size and strength, the one which was said to have covered the world of the shapeless isle. Everything from abilities to skills that affect the external environment will be suppressed and individuals have their consciousness entrapped into the mind of the Gorgon. Furthermore, those entrapped will see nightmares of mixed delight and taboo, and can also be used in a less offensive manner to send dreams tied to the the delight and taboo part for erotic dreams to collect energy while in disguise. Medusa applies it in the form of a blindfold, although the field itself can be tied to whatever comes to mind. After releasing it the Eyes will perform their dangerous functions.
Bellerophon - Bridle of Chivalry
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 2~50
Maximum Targets: 300
Effect:
Medusa can summon her 'gift' Pegasus at any time without given handicaps, although it itself would be on the level of a Noble Phantasm. It is also not a 'normal' Pegasus being placed at the Rank of a Phantasmal Beast than a Monstrous Beast, and possesses a Magical Protection above Rank A+, capable of shrugging of modern Thaumaturgy with ease, and by itself already possessing about 100 times as much prana as an average magus.
It is in fact close to a dragon and shares the same defensive stats. Pegasus is summoned by Medusa by slashing her neck with her dagger, allowing the blood to spray out and stop in the air to form a magic circle. The circle, which displays a creature-like figure, swells with a large amount of magical energy far surpassing Blood Fort Andromeda. Pegasus then emerges from a giant eye bound by blood. It must be fastened after the mount is summoned or simultaneously as it emerges from the summoning circle with the Girdle and raises all attributes of the saddled creature by one, acts as a flying fortress to fly with it and kill her enemies, if the area allows flight.
The wings are capable of creating shock-waves to damage infrastructures or lacerate living beings apart. She can use Bellerophon to cancel all limiters of Pegasus for one final attack rush, raising raising the Armor Class by 100. The maximum speed that the charge can reach is 400-500 km/h, the ram able to kill any Servant, making it hard to dodge or grant them time to defend. On the ground, she can utilize it in an only partly summoned form, literally unleashing it as a beam of light at the target, rather than allowing it to use it constantly. This also reduces the effective range and number of targets, apparently.
Blood Fort Andromeda - Outer Seal - Temple of Blood
Rank: B
Type: Anti-Army
Range: 10~40
Maximum Targets: 500
Effect:
A bounded barrier of blood and symbolizes the Temple of Blood that surrounded the Shapeless Isle, which was once her home. It dyes the surrounding in crimson red, not allowing sunshine to seep through. It is capable to store mana, and even the souls of servants, preventing them from getting consumed by the Grail. The full form expands greatly, also able to remain invisible to the normal human eye and turning humans into blood and organic ooze to absorb them as magical energy, like they were in her stomach. Servants or people with high prana like magi are usually able to resist its effect. She sets it up by using her very own blood as a material component, and it is difficult to destroy it because it restores damaged trigger points and establishes new ones constantly appear, but destroying them will still delay its full activation. With Rider's abilities she is able to activate it within 10 days, but it can be activated at any point, even if incomplete.
Medusa can not suppress the malice in the barrier, making some people aware that something is odd, while being unable to trace the whereabouts of Rider or the locations of her setup points (usually), and it also damages the leylines once it is set up, so it cannot be used continuously. When it is activated, it is NOT invisible anymore, rather than a bounded field on the level of Sorcery appearing like a crimson dome resembling her Gorgon Eye. Everything in it will be tainted in bloody red. The powerful field is strong enough to cut the area completely off from the surroundings, closing off all Routes outside, while still remaining invisible to everyone outside.
The fully established Field is able to make people collapse, to kill and transmute normal humans almost instantly, while an incomplete one will delay the effect by several minutes. Victims will get partly vaporized, eaten, have effects like they are rotting while they are still alive, or cooked alive etc. The ones closest to the origin will receive the harshest treatment, while those at the edge the least. By cutting her throat she can unleash the currently stored prana in one big explosion.
CLASS ABILITIES: //[/color]
Magic Resistance: B
Nullifies sorcery below spell length three. It is difficult to damage her even with greater sorceries or rituals.
Riding: A+
The talent to ride vehicles or animals. She can ride anything from mystical to divine beasts, however not dragons.
SKILLS: //[/color]
Independent Action: C
Capable of remaining in this world for one day without a established contract.
Divinity: E-
Medusa was originally a goddess, but her divinity was reduced greatly after turning into the Gorgon.
Monstrous Strength: B
An ability possessed by monsters and beasts, temporary boost of the Strength parameter by one rank for a time limit determined by the ranking of this skill. The Gorgon was a huge monster towering several times over even the tallest of heroes, including Herakles. The longer Medusa is under the influence of this skill, the more she turns into the legendary monster Gorgon. (Worsening Personality, eventually raising stats before 'vanishing' and getting replaced by the monster.)
Mystic Eyes: A+
Possession of Mystic Eyes that are capable of interfering with the outside world. In Medusa's case they are named Cybele and one of the most powerful eyes possible. The eyes are shaped similar to crystals and the retinas composed of Ether. She cannot close her eyes, and everything in her field of vision is affected, a very powerful petrification curse cast on everyone, something that does not exist otherwise. Although they are powerful they can still be avoided by closing off their senses entirely to not perceive her in any way, because it does not matter if she is looked at with the physical eye or perceived in any other way. The chances of fighting her when the eyes are activated are close to Zero. Alternatively, they require a high amount of Prana to survive. Those who possess Rank C or lower in Mana will be immediately petrified, while those with Rank B depend on the situation. Rank A will receive a one rank down on all stats due to the pressure. Petrified nonetheless means unable to move, turning to stone itself takes a bit longer. Although noteworthy to be its own Noble Phantasm, the categories were interchanged, the safety mechanism Breaker Gorgon being tied to it and stated as actual Noble Phantasm.
