Saber Lily

Saber Lily (セイバー・リリィ) is a Saber-class Servant able to be summoned by the Protagonist in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order. She is an alternate version of Saber.

Identity
Saber's identity is Artoria Pendragon (アルトリア・ペンドラゴン), better known as Arthur Pendragon (アーサー・ペンドラゴン) and Āsā Ō (アーサー王).

Appearance
Saber Lily is often called White Saber (白セイバー).

Fate/unlimited codes
Saber Lily appears as an unlockable costume for Saber. Differing from Saber Alter who is a unique alternate character, Saber Lily is simply a costume that changes nothing else about the character. Unique from other alternate costumes, her name changes along with the costume, and although her artwork shows her wielding Caliburn, she still wields Excalibur in-game.

Other appearances
In Chibichuki!, Saber Lily is part of the Saber 4~8 (セイバー4～8)

When Illya installs Saber Class Card in Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, she wore Saber Lily armor instead of the original.

Abilities
Saber Lily wields Caliburn.

Creation and Conception
First appearing in Fate/unlimited codes as an alternate costume, Saber Lily was designed by Takashi Takeuchi as another form of the King of Knights with an "emphasis on her girlishness." In contrast to the blackened Saber Alter, she is called the pure and sweet "Princess of Knights" who is shown to carry Caliburn rather than Excalibur. Her design was inspired by the dress Caster placed on Saber after she was captured during Unlimited Blade Works. The design was filled with the feminine qualities that Saber lacks, and "Lily" in her name refers to her skirt being designed to resemble the petals of a lily flower. She originally had no background information within unlimited codes or other side materials, but Nasu Kinoko and Gen Urobuchi joked about her being a version of Saber fully tamed by Caster during a discussion.

Reception

 * In the Type-Moon's 10th Anniversary Character Poll, Saber Lily from Fate/unlimited codes was ranked 46th.
