Connacht ☆ Medb |
MedbWP (メイヴ, Meivu?), Class Name Rider (ライダー, Raidā?), is a Rider-class Servant summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.
Profile[]
Identity[]
The Eternal Lady. The queen of ConnachtWP that appears in Celtic Mythology, the Ulster CycleWP.[2] Properly married to Ailill mac MátaWP, she is a part of a long line of queens ruling the country.[3] A young girl of affairs who built engagements, marriages and, at times, nothing but carnal relations with many kings and brave warriors. The ringleader who caused the greatest war of the Ulster Cycle, she aimed at the life of the brave warrior of Ulster that defied her - Cú Chulainn.[2] It is said that she is endowed with the aspect of discord and conflict, as a Divine Spirit that rules over insanity, evil and royal authority.[1] Medb has Fairy blood in her lineage.[4]
Legend[]
After Fergus mac Róich left UlsterWP due to the kingWP having his two sons killed "out of lust for young women", he defected to Connacht out of hatred for the king. Becoming one of Medb's lovers, his influence in his desire to obtain revenge, Medb's own love of treasure, and the known curse upon Ulster causing all born there to become feeble when invaded caused Medb to start a great war, commanding the soldiers of Connacht while driving her chariot.[2][3][5]
Cú Chulainn, not born of Ulster, was the only one able to fight, so he spent his days slaughtering her soldiers until they proposed that the war be held with one-on-one duels. Due to that she was losing five thousand men per day, Medb reluctantly agreed to the terms, only advancing her army during the duels at the cost of only a single soldier per day. Medb ignored the treaty and still advanced, but only in unnoticeably small amounts due to having taken a public vow. Cú Chulainn fought through many hard battles against her, requiring even a group of untrained soldiers to sacrifice themselves to save him as he became more exhausted. Medb eventually schemed to have Cú Chulainn fight his close friend FerdiadWP, who reluctantly served his lord even if it meant fighting his closest friend. The end of the battle resulted in Ferdiad's death and Connacht's defeat, followed by further defeat as the warriors of Ulster chased after Medb's retreating army. Cú Chulainn eventually captured her, but he treated her as royalty and returned her to Connacht without killing or shaming her.[3]
At some point during this period, Medb attempted to make Cú Chulainn her own, but he held no interest in her.[2] Waging war against Ulster for a second time with the motive of revenge against Cú Chulainn, she concluded that "Fergus' existence will become a bother", not inviting him to the battlefield, and he was later killed by her jealous husband.[5] She returned after gathering many warriors with grudges against Cú Chulainn, cornering him through the use of various means. He was forced to fight her army by himself, and he died after being entrapped by the various plots of Medb.[3]
Even in modern Ireland, there are many witness reports that say "I saw her". Of course, those are by no means jokes. Even now, Queen Medb lives in the hearts of people as the Eternal Lady.[2]
Rather humorously, while she doesn't mind being called by carnal-related title, she is incredibly offended if someone points out that she has "no luck with men".[6]
Appearance[]
Medb possesses a goddess-like, perfect body since birth.[2]
Personality[]
« I don't hate being antagonized. |
(Medb) |
A pure maiden who is neat and clean. Simultaneously, an unscrupulous maiden who is a slut.[1] Pure and tidy. Lewd and devious. Both are her true faces, and it's not like either of them are a lie. It is just that the "impression" many people catch is the former. Medb just earnestly, tidily enjoys lewdness, and purely performs deviousness. She loves good men. She really loves strong men![2] She'll love a man even more if he is one who will not yield to her! For her, it will be worth the torment![1] Not going against her own desires at all, she made many men her own while alive. The owner of the magic sword Caladbolg, Fergus, was one of her lovers. She also really loves treasures, and for that reason, she triggered a great war with the entirety of Ulster as her opponent and commanded the Connacht troops while driving her own chariot.[2] Cú Chulainn describes her as a "warmongering lady" who hated having to back down.[3]
« The main character of the world’s stage, dominator of all things, that is I — Medb. |
(Medb) |
Because Medb thinks she is the center of the world, she will come along to a large event even on an occasion where she is not invited. "After all, does it not seem pitiful to not notice these things, even though I spent money for things like these? Nevertheless, do be at peace, for I am coming now! The center of the world, the chosen leading actress, this Queen Medb, the ruler of everything!" Even if it is an action according to a person who craves the limelight, the person herself is uncontrollable when considering and concerning everybody else in the vicinity.[1]
Medb recognizes the Master as a "temporary master". However, she openly perceives the system called "Master and Servant" as some kind of play, and takes into consideration of it not very seriously. She herself relatively enjoys the state of affairs around herself.[1]
Holding a great hatred for the only one who spurred her advances, Cú Chulainn, Medb sought out his death upon his rejection. Although her fixation regarding Cú Chulainn still remains, her wish for the Holy Grail is unrelated to him. That is, "to make all superb men of past/present/future into my lovers." If possible, a brave warrior who is generous, won't get jealous, and knows no fear. If the Master is a brave man who measures up to her, it is probable that Medb will lavishly slap her love onto him with all of her energies, without minding public attention. Sternly, relentlessly, just like the whip she holds.[2]
Relationships[]
- Cú Chulainn
- "Cu Chulainn. The man I could not subdue. Even right now as he appears in front of me, he still wouldn't become mine..."[7]
- "My Cú! ...Ahem. Cú Chulainn of Ulster, I have finally found you. What do you think? Don't you have anything to say! Teeheehee..."[7]
- "I'm already loved and worshipped by so many people, so I don't want you, ok?"
- (Or so she wants to say, but can't. She really loves Cú. If he still won't look at her, then there's no choice but to resort to brainwashing. Or so she had decided, but when she finally meets Cú she just wishes he'd tell her something like 'that Saint Graph's not bad'.)[8]
- Fergus mac Róich
- "That the dreamy Ulster hero would fall madly in love with me like this, isn't it proof of my beauty and charm?"[1]
- "Fergus! Your Noble Phantasm is wonderful. It feels so good whenever I use it. It's like you're with me. Sooo... Let me borrow it a little longer, okay?"[7]
- "T-h-a-n-k-s♡
- Let me borrow your wonderful sword for a bit, ok?
- I could change my own Saint Graph if I wanted, but hey, a Saber's gotta have a sword, right?
- Yeah! Now I'm a Saber too!
- I'll go beat up Cú!"[8]
- Fionn mac Cumhaill
- "Guys who get jealous are a no. Also, even my instinct says no."[1]
- "How many times do I have to tell you, I don't want salmon...! Fine! I get it! I get it, okay? I really hate men who don't fall for me. I just get so irritated hearing all your boasting about your wife."[7]
- "I hate men who won't obey me. He won't stop talking proudly about his wife either, what's with him!?"[8]
- Scáthach
- "Teehee. I'm so sorry. Because I've changed into a swimsuit...everyone must have forgotten about you. ...Hey, wait a minute! Don't you have anything to say, Scáthach!?" [7]
- "I finally got a swimsuit! Now I can have a summer battle on even footing with that woman. ...Or so I thought but she didn't say anything and just gave me a grin. What's her deal!?"[8]
- Scáthach-Skadi
- "Eh? Who's that? You're kidding... You're Scáthach, right? But you're so cute... Wait, why are you all flushed and looking down? Seriously, what's your deal?"[7]
- "She has her same face, so how is she so different... And how come she interests me so much? Hmmm... Well for now, let's just go to the beach together!"[8]
- Manannán mac Lir
- "What’s a hotshot like Manannán even doing here? Anyway, seems like she and my dear Cú share some history. That really pisses me off... I need to keep tabs on her!"[1]
- Tomoe Gozen
- "You're cooped up in your room again... Don't you just stay there playing games... Go outside once in a while. I'm not saying you should go boy-hunting, but it'll be good for you to get some sunshine. How about we go to the cocktail bar together?"[7]
- "I can't help but be concerned about her status as widow. It doesn't seem like she's simply being faithful, but, that girl is like... I guess I have no choice but to confirm it myself."[8]
- Male Servants that she likes
- "Everyone wants to be my lover. My favourite type of guy is one who is generous, won't get jealous, and knows no fear."[1]
- "I think that would feel different when I'm a Saber, compared to when I was a Rider. So now I have to confirm ♡."[8]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Fifth Singularity: E Pluribus Unum[]
Coming into possession of the Holy Grail, Medb used it to create Cú Chulainn Alter through her wish for Cú Chulainn to rule alongside her as a strong and wicked king. She also used it to summon Fionn mac Cumhaill, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, Beowulf, and Arjuna to serve as her commanders. Leading an army of warriors that she can endlessly produce, Medb and her Servants began to conquer America to create a new Celtic nation; killing everyone who isn’t Celtic. The Americans attempted to repel the Celts, but the Celtic Horde easily overwhelmed them. By the time Chaldea arrives, the Celts have conquered the eastern half of the United States, where Medb killed George Washington and other leaders in the process. She then established the White House in Washington as her palace, changing its appearance into something more sinister.[9][10]
Medb later learns of Fionn and Diarmuid's failure to destroy the American rear base in Riverton when Fionn reports to her. She leaves the decision what to do with them to Cú Chulainn Alter. He decides to pardon them, but warns they won't get a third chance. Medb is left disappointed by his decision to spare Fionn and Diarmuid after the two left. She then sends Fergus mac Róich out to kill the Servants that Chaldea is planning to meet with. After he leaves, she ponders with Cú Chulainn Alter on how Chaldea and their allies will react. She then recounts how Eastern America has fallen under their control, but she is surprised that Thomas Edison was able to unite Western America against them. Cú Chulainn Alter reprimands her for not destroying the United Western States while they were still weak. Medb admits she didn't think Edison would go so far, feeling he has something besides the Grail backing him. Cú Chulainn Alter finds that alarming, but says he'll kill Edison in time. He then orders Medb to ensure preparations are in order.[10]
Geronimo, Robin Hood, Nero Claudius, and Billy the Kid later ambush Medb during a parade in Washington. Using No Face May King, the group sneaks up on Medb and isolate her in Nero’s Nuptiae Domus Aurea. However, Cú Chulainn Alter suddenly appears when Medb calls for him and attacks Nero. Medb explains Cú Chulainn Alter’s tremendous strength within the theater is because he was created through her wish for him to rule alongside her as a strong and wicked king. She then calls for Arjuna when the group tries to fight Cú Chulainn Alter. While Cú Chulainn Alter fights Nero, Medb and Arjuna fight the others.[9] During the course of the battle, following Robin's escape and Billy's death, Medb tells Geronimo she sent Diarmuid and Fionn, and Beowulf to Alcatraz to kill Ritsuka, Mash, Florence Nightingale, and Rama there. She declares she will destroy Thomas Edison's army with the Grail's power, but to her shock, Geronimo informs her that Ritsuka already recovered four Grails. He also predicts she will die soon, prompting her to kill him in a rage. She then orders Cú Chulainn Alter and Arjuna to pursue Robin.[11]
As the climatic battle between the Americans and Celts begins, Medb tells Cú Chulainn Alter about Fionn and Diarmuid being killed by Ritsuka’s party. He is more interested in what the living are doing when a soldier arrives with a report. He reports the Americans have split their armies into north and south, with the south currently heading towards them. Medb is shocked to hear that there are four Servants, including Karna, are in the south army. She is even more shocked to learn that Edison has allied with Chaldea and their allies. Agreeing with Cú Chulainn Alter’s decision to send out the troops, saying to split them into north and south armies, Medb orders Beowulf and Arjuna to put in charge of the north and south armies, respectively. After the soldier leaves, Cú Chulainn Alter deduces the American south army is the true main force, so Medb figured the north army is meant to buy them time. Cú Chulainn Alter asks Medb if her army is prepared, warning Servants are strongest when accompanying their Master. She admits Beowulf and Arjuna are strong warriors, but they barely have the will to fight. Despite that, Cú Chulainn Alter decides they’ll charge in with full force. After he leaves, Medb suspects he’ll turn on his allies after killing his enemies. She wonders if her true desire was for Cú Chulainn Alter to send the world into chaos, and to kill everyone equally.[12]
Medb confronts Ritsuka’s group whem they arrive in Washington. She summons Shadow Servants and monsters to kill them, but the group slay all of them. She retreats to the White House, hinting that she has something else up her sleeve. There she fights the group with Cú Chulainn Alter. Though mortally wounded by Brahmastra, Medb uses the Grail to summon Clan Calatin to destroy the north army. She then gives the Grail to Cú Chulainn Alter before disappearing.[13]
Event: Prisma Causeway[]
- Main article: Connacht ☆ Medb
Final Singularity: Solomon[]
Medb is amongst the "E Pluribus Unum" Singularity Servants to aid Chaldea against the Demon Gods Pillars.[14]
Summer Event: Death Jail Summer Escape[]
Medb rules the Singularity, which she considers Connacht. Using Gorgon as a cornerstone, she created a prison to house those she deems criminals and those who refuse to be her citizens. She is said prison's ward with Quetzalcoatl as vice warden, whom Medb has allowed to train the prisoners in lucha as part of their rehabilitation in hopes of getting strong warriors. Medb is a rather lax warden, however, so confident is she that no one can escape thanks to the Prison Field negating all prisoners' powers.
At some point, she had Enkidu arrested because they looked like a criminal mastermind. Enkidu tried to escape by killing, but Medb defeated them and inexplicitly revealed her conceptual weakness to projectile cheese. She then had them restrained in solitary confinement.
She later learns the racers in Ishtar's race are placing planet texture all over Connacht without her permission. Medb is greatly angered by this, thinking the racers are well aware of the textures. So when the racers are crossing a bridge to reach the finish line, Medb orders the security system she made in Hessian Lobo's image to cut the bridge. The racers are thus sent plummeting into the ravine below. She confront them at the bottom of the ravine after they're overwhelmed by the Hessian Lobo security system. She arrests the racers for their "crimers" and sends them to her prison once they lose consciousness. Afterward, she encounters Ritsuka and Mash, who down into the ravine to search for the racers. Seeing that they're normal humans, Medb decides not to arrest them and comes to believe they're loyal citizens. She then confirms she sent the racers to her prison.
Medb welcomes the now conscious racers to her prison and informs them again why they've been arrested. Nero Claudius and Oda Nobunaga attack her, but the Prison Field negates their powers. Medb tells the racers that she locked their vehicles up somewhere outside the prison after sensing a strange power from them. Afterward, she brings them to their cells.
Following another patrol, Medb asks Quetzalcoatl if she learned anything from the racers. Quetzalcoatl answers she hasn't yet as the racers are tougher than expected and asks for more time to learn something conclusive. Medb tells her to get the racers to reveal how to remove the textures as quickly as possible. Stressed by the situation, Medb orders Quetzalcoatl to bring her her most promising trainees, saying she'll take them on herself. Quetzalcoatl is reluctant at first since facing Medb may throw off her trainees' training balance. But she goes get them after determining they can't become true warriors if she plays it safe. Medb then uses the trainees to relieve her stress.
The racers later try to assassinate her with projectile cheese while she's taking a shower. However, Medb kicks the cheese away thanks to training her body to automatically react to incoming cheese.
Medb later learns about the racers' escape attempt from an anonymous informant So when the racers manage to dig their way out of the prison, she is already there waiting for them with numerous Celtic warriors and Quetzalcoatl. Mysterious Heroine X fires at her with her cheese blaster but the shots are deflected. Medb then decides to execute the racers, accusing them of covering Connacht with textures of another place. Ishtar tries to snipe her for saying this, only for the Celtic queen to deflect the shot. The racers then defeat Medb and Quetzalcoatl in the ensuing fight. Medb disappears bemoaning that it isn't fair.
Valentine Event The Bountiful Chocolate Gardens of Valentine[]
When Cú Chulainn worries about the possible replacement for chocolate, particularly when it comes to her, Medb appears and thinks he was saying that her trying to entice him with chocolates is annoying and futile. She, therefore, changes her method to smacking him in the face with her chocolates, so he'll physically get the message. Annoyed, Cú Chulainn leaves, with Medb following after him.
Moonlight|Lostroom[]
Summer Event: Servant Summer Festival![]
Medb is taking part in ServantFes, with her entry being a photo book of herself. Per her conceited nature, though, she thought the space she was assigned wouldn't fit all of her “adoring fans” and sought to steal another club’s space. Katsushika Oei and Abigail Williams’ club had the space she desired, so she went to challenge its representative, Oei, to a combat match in which the loser must surrender their club space. But Oei was missing, leaving Medb no choice but to get what she wants by defeating Abigail.
During a photo shoot at the beach, Medb notices Ritsuka’s party and criticizes them for wanting to take pictures of someone that isn’t her. She reveals to them that she will be releasing a photo book of herself for ServantFes. She also tells them she “negotiated” with Abigail to give her club’s space to her and denies Ushiwakamaru’s accusation that she threatened Abigail for it. Ushiwakamaru describes Medb as someone who thinks they deserve everything just for being pretty and shouldn’t give anything in return, saying Lady Masako has nothing on her. In response, Medb insults Ushiwakamaru’s figure. The two of them then make it clear they hate everything about each other. Realizing a fight is about to ensue, Realizing a fight is about to ensue, Ritsuka has Robin hold Ushiwakamaru back. Medb calls upon her “Good-Looking Braves” to remove Ritsuka’s party from the beach. She and Ushiwakamaru then fight, which Jeanne d’Arc joins in on. After the others stop the fight, Medb tells her men that they’re leaving, saying it’s pointless to hold a photo shoot if Ushiwakamaru is going to ruin it. She then leaves with her men, wishing Ritsuka’s party good luck as they’re going to need it since a newbie club like theirs will make nothing good.
The day of ServantFes soon comes and Medb becomes the best seller, thereby winning the prize that is the Grail. BB, the convention’s manager, however, wanted Ritsuka to win. She therefore reversed time back six days and created a time loop, of which Risuka’s party is only aware of, that will remain until they win ServantFes.
During the second loop, Ritsuka’s party asks Medb if they could take pictures of her for reference material, but she immediately denies their request. Robin recalls that she said they could take as many pictures of her as they pleased before. But Medb doesn’t recall ever saying that, given that she is affected by the time loop like nearly everyone else. She calls the group weak and pathetic, and is mad that they stand out more than her. It makes her want to squish them like bugs, especially Ushiwakamaru. Ritsuka tries to stop Medb and Ushiwakamaru from fighting when Mysterious Heroine XX arrives. However, to her and Medb’s surprise, the photographers who once surrounded Medb start taking pictures of XX, amusing Ushiwakamaru and upsetting the Celtic queen. The photographers soon flee in response to Medb’s anger. Medb then helps the others force XX to retreat. After XX is gone, Medb gets an explanation from Mash who XX is, though she doesn’t care. She then leaves to cool off by the pool, telling Ritsuka that they’re free to join her club if they’re willing to become a slave to her beauty.
The next day, Medb sets up a beauty contest for herself called the Medb Contest, where both the audiences and judges are her adoring fans. She soon notices Ritsuka’s party has come, specifically Ushiwakamaru, whom she mocks. She denies she is using her contest to garner attention and gain an advantage at ServantFes, boasting that her photo book will sell more than anything, regardless. But seeing Ushiwakamaru doesn’t believe her, she challenges her to beat her at her own contest. Ushiwakamaru accepts the challenge despite the others’ objections. She gets relatively good scores, but the judges still like Medb better. After Medb gives her a backhanded compliment about not getting all zeroes, however, she criticizes Medb’s contest for not having any other contestants. Medb replies that more contestants are coming, though she still feels her victory is assured. Other swimsuit Servants then arrive to take part in Medb’s contest; Mash also takes part after it was announced Medb wanted her to. Medb, however, puts herself back in the contest as a last-minute entrant three times, using her regular outfit, warden outfit, and swimsuit, and gets perfect scores across the board. She denies that she cheated, saying she never said contestants couldn’t enter multiple times. She then leaves the group with a condescending compliment that they may sell a tenth of what she’ll sell.
ServantFes soon comes, and Medb wins, doing so for multiple loops.
In another loop, Medb is taking a stroll when multiple Servants ask for her autograph. Though impressed by how many there are, she gets bored and heads back to the beach. There, however, she discovers that Ritsuka’s party changed her contest from a beauty contest to a beach volleyball match with Yan Qing and El-Melloi II’s help. Because she cannot disappoint her fans, who are her pride and source of power, she has no choice to accept the group’s challenge, especially since betting has taken place. It also tics her off that James Moriarty bribed her sponsors. She confronts Ritsua’s party and summons Cú Chulainn, who was handcrafting elsewhere, for the volleyball match. She loses and gets upset at Cú Chulainn for not playing dirty. Cú Chulainn asks her why he’d ruin sports by cheating. Medb concedes that he’s right, admitting that she hates losing. Cú Chulainn tells her that losing every now and then is good since it keeps one focused and leaves. Medb tells Ritsuka’s party that they haven’t won yet and leaves, saying she’ll see them at ServantFes.
In the final loop, Medb challenges Oei, who wasn’t killed this time by XX thanks to Ritsuka’s party, for her club’s space. Oei accepts the challenge, deciding to fight Medb and her men alone, since she doesn’t want a dainty girl like Abigail involved. Fortunately for Oei and Abigail, Ritsuka’s party arrives to help. Medb soon gets frustrated that her foes aren’t giving up and decides she’s done for today. She tells the group that they’ll settle things fair and square in three days at the Medb Contest. She then leaves, letting out a laugh typical of a stuck-up rich girl.
She later has her men and chariot block and/or delay Ritsuka’s party from reaching the convention center in time for ServantFes. It nearly looks like her photo book of selfies with best seller, but then Ritsuka and Jeanne Alter arrive and get their story printed. It becomes the best seller, so Ritsuka’s party wins ServantFes. Despite her frustration that she lost, Medb exchanges books with Jeanne Alter, though she says the value of hers won’t last since she’ll make a better one next year.
Lostbelt No.6: Avalon le Fae[]
- Main article: Cnoc na Riabh
According to Oberon Cnoc na Riabh and Medb are different versions of the same person, with Medb being "what happens when that woman lives for love."[15]
Interlude[]
Other appearances[]
Medb is mentioned within Lancer's flashback in Fate/hollow ataraxia.[3]
Abilities[]
Medb has been referred to as the mother of many soldiers, but it is not like she actually gives birth to those soldiers. After taking in the genetic informations of warriors, she reproduces those inside her body. By wounding the tip of her index finger with a blade and having that blood fall on the ground, what was no more than a single drop becomes a great puddle of blood and soldiers are "manufactured" along with the blood foam. Medb is literally the "queen" and ruler of nameless soldiers.[2]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Magic Resistance (B Rank): Nullifies magecraft spells that were done with a chant of three verses or below. One practically does not suffer damage from magecraft even if it was a Great Magecraft or Ritual Spell.[1]
- Riding (A Rank): One can freely handle all vehicles and beasts except for those with a Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast ranking.[1] She bluntly says that she qualifies for this skill and for the Rider class in general because she "rides men".
Personal Skills[]
- Golden Rule (Body) (A Rank): One possesses a perfect goddess-like body since birth. No matter how many calories one absorbs, even their figure will not change. Unlike the Natural Body Skill, there is no effect on one’s Strength Parameter. In the end, it is said that it is no more than one’s beauty being preserved.[1]
- Charisma (B Rank): Medb has the charismatic nature to manipulate many brave warriors as a military force.[1]
- Queen's Discipline (A Rank): Upgrade from Charisma.[1]
- Alluring Euphony (C Rank): A natural constitution of having a beautiful voice. It works as a magical charm effect towards males, but evasion is possible with the Magic Resistance Skill. Even if one does not have Magical Resistance, they can abate it to some extent so long as they maintain a will to resist.[1]
Noble Phantasms[]
Medb's main Noble Phantasms is Chariot My Love. Chariot with two bulls that embodies her own powerful influence and performs a charging attack. Her chariot room has already changed into a Reality Marble by then, a love nest that will not set them free until the deed is finished.
Medb's second Noble Phantasm is My Red Mead. Her golden liquor honey infused with her legend of charm. If one gulps it down his mouth, by then, it is even the same as a man who became her property.
Medb's third Noble Phantasm is Conchobar My Love the ability of future vision possessed by Ulster King ConchobarWP.
Medb's fourth Noble Phantasm is Fergus My Love the magic sword Caladbolg possessed by Fergus.[1]
Forms and Alternate Versions[]
Swimsuit[]
Pure and clean.
The lewd and unscrupulous Queen Medb. A single flower that blooms beautifully at the centre of the world. Or maybe, a large flower attempting to blossom in full glory as if to cover the world. In addition, this time she is an existence akin to a bikini model――― someone highly self-conscious as a flower that charms people.
Exactly because she accurately understands how much value and power her body possesses, one could say that it was only a matter of time before she was installed as a gorgeous Celebrity Servant adapted to modern times.
Abilities[]
Class Skills:
- Magic Resistance (B+ Rank): Nullifies all magecraft with less than 3 incantations. Receives almost no damage even from rituals and greater magecraft. After changing her Saint Graph to Saber, it seems some of her skills have also been upgraded.[16]
Personal Skills:
- If I Change into a Swimsuit (A+ Rank): Her ability to enchant the masses or specific people. At A+ its power is tremendous. (Usually this would be a composite skill that includes Golden Rule (Body), but in FGO its effect is a bit different)[16]
- Eau De Toilette - White Honey (B Rank): Medb's voice and breath are endowed with a honey-like sweetness, which allows her to influence the target's stats just by existing. In the case of animals or humans without protection against magical power, she should be perfectly capable of bending them to her will. For example, it'd be easy for her to turn a small boy into a brave warrior comparable with a veteran. Conversely, she could also take a hardened warrior and turn them into a child. She can even freely mess with a Servant's stats if they don't have the means to resist. A skill similar but different to "Alcoholic Fruit ". When using this skill, she applies perfume to herself, so if one were to interrupt her, the skill could maybe be interrupted...But one must wonder how many people are out there who can actually stop Medb.[16]
- Queen's Discipline (Sea) (A Rank): Medb's Charisma as a queen has now reached the level of violence.[16]
Noble Phantasms:
- Medb's main Noble Phantasms is One Shot, My Love . The normal Medb possesses the special attribute of having the Noble Phantasm of every hero who fell for her, but having changed her saint graph with a swimsuit, she also gained a new Noble Phantasm. This is a Noble Phantasm that works by using her charm, but surprisingly it doesn't apply a continuous charm effect.
- Medb's second Noble Phantasm is Fergus, My Good-Looking Brave. Fergus was one of Medb's lovers during her life, and now she's taken his demonic sword Caladbolg to use as a weapon.
Development[]
Creation and Creation[]
Medb was designed by Kisai Takayama in Fate/Grand Order.[1][2] Her scenario writer is Hikaru Sakurai in Fate/Grand Order.[1]
Comment from Illustrator[]
"Given that Medb’s design concept needed the impression that her clothing is going to be undressed in succession rather than saying that they’re being changed, it resulted in the concept of Medb’s transformation being seen as a small amount of clothes being worn underneath her outer layers."
"Stage 1: It’s a snugly specification that won’t let her catch a cold even if Cú-chan stands up his Christmas date with her. When drawing a derived work, this is the recommended stage to be drawn since it’s the most comfortable for one to draw, right? Also, because I’m pleased with this one the most, I personally keep her battle sprite in this state."
"Stage 2: Because I received the specification called a white female knight, this stage was imagined first. The other stages were created by adding and subtracting from here."
"Stage 3: Although I imagined sexy underwear, she’s somewhat like a powerful princess, no, a “reigning champion of the ring”, isn’t she? I certainly want her to start up something like a New Celtic Pro Wrestling promotion! Entering gaudily while being accompanied by an assistant wearing a bull costume!"
"Hey, with that sort of feeling, I’d like to see Medb’s actions in FGO, no matter how surprising they are!" (Kisai Takayama)[1]
"I was instructed to make Caladbolg into a weapon that could change and turn into a whip, then I also got some really extreme Medb-like suggestions from Takeuchi, and well after I kept stacking things on her the design was obviously rejected (lmao). As for Medb's swimsuit, her first one's the only one suited for swimming comfortably, her second stage is for beachside photoshoots, and her third stage is for indoor studios.

Profile
The queen of Connacht that appears in Celtic Mythology, the Ulster Cycle.
A young girl of affairs who built engagements, marriages and, at times, nothing but carnal relations with many kings and brave warriors. The eternal lady.
The ringleader who caused the greatest war of the Ulster Cycle, she aimed at the life of the brave warrior of Ulster that defied her - Cu Chulainn.
Level 1 Bond
Height/Weight: 154cm・41kg
Source: Celtic Mythology
Region: Ireland
Alignment: Chaotic Evil Gender: Female
She possesses a goddess-like perfect body from birth.
Level 2 Bond
Pure and tidy. Lewd and devious.
Both are her true faces, and it's not like either of them are a lie. It is just that the "impression" many people catch is the former.
She just earnestly, tidily enjoys lewdness, and purely performs deviousness. She loves good men. She really loves strong men!
Not going against her own desires at all, she made many men her own while alive.
The owner of the magic sword Caladbolg, Fergus, was one of her lovers. She also really loves treasures, and for that reason she triggered a great war with the entirely of Ulster as her opponent and commanded the Connacht troops while driving her own chariot.
Level 3 Bond
"I don't hate being antagonized.
However, I cannot tolerate the fact that, among the men of Ulster, there is one man - and one alone - who did not become mine even though I thought "I want him". Even though I called out to him, tempted him. That attitude in which, let alone be swayed, simply said 'what the heck are you doing?'"
"I won't forgive him. Won't forgive, won't forgive, won't forgive, won't forgive, won't forgive! Absolutely, not him!"
"Cu Chulainn of Ulster!
By the name Medb, the lover and ruler of all men, I swear! I'll surely make you succumb to me!"
Level 4 Bond
Medb has been referred as the mother of many soldiers, but it is not like she actually gives birth to those soldiers.
After taking in the genetic informations of warriors, she reproduces those inside her body.
By wounding the tip of her index finger with a blade and having that blood fall on the ground, what was no more than a single drop becomes a great puddle of blood and soldiers are "manufactured" along with the blood foam.
Medb is literally the "queen" and ruler of nameless soldiers.
Level 5 Bond
Even in modern Ireland, there are many witness reports that say "I saw her".
Of course, those are by no means jokes.
Even now, Queen Medb lives on the hearts of people as the eternal lady.
Interlude
Although her fixation regarding Cu Chulainn still remains, her wish for the Holy Grail is unrelated to him.
"To make all superb men of past・present・future into my lovers".
If possible, a brave warrior who is generous, not envious and knows no fear.
If the Master is a brave man who measures up to her, it is probable that Medb will lavishly slap her love onto him with all her energies, without minding public attention.
Sternly, relentlessly, just like the whip she holds.女王メイヴ - ライダー

無垢にして清楚。淫蕩にして悪辣。
どちらも彼女の本当の姿であり、どちらかが偽りということではない。
多くの人間が受け止める「印象」が前者であるというだけのこと。
ただひたすらに、清楚に淫蕩を好み、無垢に悪辣を成す。
いい男大好き。強い男大好き!
自分の欲望に一切逆らうことなく、生前には数多くの男たちを我が物とした。
魔剣カラドボルグの所有者であるフェルグスも恋人のひとり。
財も大好きで、それが理由でアルスター全土を相手取った大戦争を起こし、自ら戦車を駆ってコノートの軍勢を指揮した。

「敵対されるのが嫌なのじゃないわ。
ただ、アルスターの男たちの中で、唯一、私が『欲しい』と思っても、私のものにならなかった男がいることが我慢できない。
声を掛けたのに、誘ったのに。
なびかなかったどころか、何してるんだオマエ、とでも言わんばかりのあの態度!」
「許せない。許せない許せない許せない許せない許せない! 絶対、アイツに──」
「アルスターのクー・フーリン! すべての男の恋人にして支配者であるメイヴの名にかけて! 絶対、屈服させて見せるんだから!」

多くの兵士の母、と言われるメイヴだが、実際に兵士たちを出産している訳ではない。
彼女は戦士から遺伝情報を取り込んだ後、体内でこれを複製するのだ。
人差し指の先を刃物で傷つけ、その血が地面に落ちた時、ひと雫にすぎなかった血は大きな血だまりとなり、血泡と共に兵士たちが“製造”される。
メイヴは文字通り、名も無き兵士たちの“女王”にして支配者なのである。
アンロック条件:絆レベルを5にすると開放
現代アイルランドにおいても「彼女を見た」とする目撃例は数多存在している。
勿論、冗談の類ではない。
人々の心には今も、永遠の貴婦人としての女王メイヴが息づいているのである。
アンロック条件:「女王の躾」をクリアすると開放
クー・フーリンに対してのこだわりはまだ残っているものの、聖杯にかける願いは彼にまつわるものではない。
「過去・現在・未来すべての素敵な男を恋人に」
できれば、気前よく、嫉妬せず、恐れを知らない勇士がいい。
マスターが彼女のお眼鏡にかなう勇者であれば、メイヴは惜しみなく全力で、衆目を気にする事なく愛を叩きつけてくるだろう。

A brave warrior from the Celtic, Ulster era (Cycle).
A member of the Knights of the Red Branch, a magic sword-user that is also known as the friend and foster father of the hero Cú Chulainn.

Level 2 Bond
"Rainbow Sword"
Rank: A+ Type: Anti-Army
Caladbolg.
Also known as Spiral Rainbow Sword. Or just Spiral Sword.
An Anti-Army Noble Phantasm that boasts high-power and wide-range, which makes even landscape destruction possible. Its sword-shimmer when brandished "cut off three hills" - such fearsome power has been denoted in legends.
Level 3 Bond
In legends, it cut a hill by means of "a sword-shimmer that extended like rainbow", but when wielded as a Noble Phantasm, Caladbolg's aspects as a landscape destruction weapon becomes pronounced. Namely, a no-questions-asked great attack that breaks the earth.
It has been said that, in later ages, it became the model for the magic swords・holy swords that many heroes obtained. Also, the model of Excalibur Galatine.
The "kougei (虹霓)"*** in its name means "rainbow".
Level 4 Bond
A man who established a corner of the Knights of the Red Branch, but he left the knight order out of rage from the betrayal of Conchobar, king of Ulster. At the outbreak of the greatest war in Ulster legends, he stayed beside his lover Medb, queen of Connacht, and displayed his valour.
He was kept from revealing his true prowess due the fact Cú Chulainn was in Ulster, but still reached the point where he was one step away from slaying King Conchobar.
Level 5 Bond
Due the pledge (geis) exchanged with Cú Chulainn at this occasion, he will achieve victory almost unconditionally in case there is a rematch with him.
At the time of the second invasion of Ulster, Queen Medb - who was scheming her revenge against Cú Chulainn - concluded that "Fergus existence will become a bother" and did not invite him to the battlefield. Afterwards, he was assassinated by a jealousy-driven King Ailill, Medb's husband.
Interlude
His wish for the Holy Grail is to "once again "get along" together with my wife and Medb".
Get along. Together.**
By the way, his wife is a goddess of the forest-- a Divine Spirit. There are not that many humans who can compare to his peerlessness!
*by the way, the original term can also be translated as "endless sexual stamina"
**this is actually a pun, as it can also be understood that he wants a three-way with the two of them.
***don't look at me! It was like that in the original!!
****I tried to find a good synonym for rainbow to put here, but it didn't work out. I'm leaving like this then.フェルグス・マック・ロイ - セイバー
