Here's one for Tomoe Gozen, from the Genpei War of Japan.

Name: Tomoe Gozen Class: Lancer Gender: Female

Stat Parameters:

STR : B // END : C+ // MAG: D // AGI : B // LUK : D // NP: A

History: A warrior woman of the Genji Clan of Japan, Tomoe was well regarded as a warrior. After the death of her husband, she gave up the sword and fell into obscurity as a nun. During this time, she told stories to the other sisters of the war, each recording fragments that would one day be collected into the Heike Monogatari, the epic poem penned by many authors across the era, detailing the events of the Genpei War and the great deeds performed therein.

Noble Phantasm:

Heike Monogatari

Rank: A

Type: Anti Unit

A ancient book bound with thick red rope around Lancer's waist. When activated, the rope is removed and the pages scatter. Laying themselves over her Naginata, they transform it into a giant Zanbatou, emblazoned with the crest of the Minamoto clan on one side, and the Taira on the other. Embodying the spirit of the tale, the Buddhist law of Impermanence (Mujo) and the fleeting nature of all things, physical structures hit with this blade will instantly cease to exist, scattering into gentian flowers, whilst ethereal structures, like barriers, spells or conceptual constructs become clouds of butterflies. A weapon nearly impossible to defend against, single use defenses or evading Lancer are the best options.

Personal Skills:

Disengage

Rank: Ex

Based on when Tomoe was ordered to flee combat by her husband, and claimed an enemy's head whilst doing so, should Tomoe attempt to flee combat and be attacked, she can pre-emptively counter with a killing blow to the enemy target.

Riding

Rank: B

Capable of riding most vehicles, but Phantasmal creatures are a no go. Based on Tomoe's ability in life to ride unbroken horses into battle.
