Elisabeth Báthory (Cinderella)

Riding Skill: EX

It is what it sounds like. As Cinderella, she’s able to ride a horse-drawn pumpkin—er, carriage, automatically. Suffice to say, it’s very strong.

Snow White Princess: B

One of the fairy tale factors Elisabeth has absorbed. She gains various buffs such as Invincible for 2 turns (or 3 times Invincibility), but as a demerit, she enters a “poisoned” state. Shocking exactly no one, it comes from “Snow White.”

Red Hood Slicer: A

One of the fairy tale factors Elisabeth has absorbed. Her attack increases, but as a demerit, she suffers a defense debuff. This one’s from “Little Red Riding Hood,” if you somehow hadn’t guessed.

Glass Cinderella: EX

One of the fairy tale factors Elisabeth has absorbed. If you can’t work out where it’s from, weeell…

With the exception of her Riding Skill, each of these is a unique skill Elisabeth made to take advantage of the different fairy tale factors she’s absorbed. While each does create a poison (demerit) as well as benefit, that doesn’t stop them from being very powerful.

Fairy Tale Erzsébet: Märchen Snow Bramble Demoness

Fairy Tale Erzsébet.
An offensive Noble Phantasm that converts fear of fairy tale villains and admiration of their heroes into attack power. Its strength fluctuates depending on how well-known the fairy tale is, but in the modern world, it consistently outputs moderate to maximum damage.

In addition, when other Servants with fairy tale attributes are near Elisabeth, she gains new attack methods as well. Together, these two boosts are so effective that they fully compensate for this NP’s lack of power.

Incidentally, whether a Servant has the fairy tale attribute or not is entirely a matter of Elisabeth’s personal opinion, so any Servants who object to being classified as such should address their complaints to her.

Personality

Eli-chan has gone even further down the fairy tale rabbit hole to become a version of Cinderella who is in love with falling in love and dreams of dreaming big. In this form, she’s left her pop idol roots behind to transform into an idol of musicals (meaning of the movie and theater genre, rather than representing any ability to actually carry a tune). Which is whyyy♪ she now siiings♪ almost every chance she geeets♪ The drab, plainly clothed Spirit Origin reminiscent of pre-fairy godmother Cinderella she has when we first meet her in her pre-First Ascension is almost like a chrysalis of sorts. Upon being summoned, assuming that her prince has found her, her Spirit Origin transforms its old, raggedy clothes into a fancy ballroom gown.

Motivation · Attitude towards Master

Being Cinderella, she naturally assumes the protagonist is her prince, but soon realizes that might not be the case. Undeterred, if her Master isn’t a prince, she’ll just turn them into one. “If you’re not a prince, I’ll make you one. Let’s take over a kingdom!” Why is Eli-chan turning fairy tales into strategic simulations?

Dialogue Examples

“I am~♪ The most beautiful~ princess~ in the world~♪ And also an idol~♪”

Character Image in “FateGO”

At long last, Eli-chan has made her comeback. And this time, she’s leading a children’s story-centric charge starting with the ultimate princess, Cinderella. Now that she embodies, idols, Cinderella, and fairy tales, the three things children around the world care about more than anything, she has nothing to fear at all.

“I don’t know. That’s still not much different from my usual self.”
“Yeah. If I’m going to survive the Great Elisabeth War…”
“I’ve got it! Musicals!”

And so, Elisabeth began singing her way through every battle and indeed even every conversation. Meanwhile, Tamamo sighed, and took out her trusty earplugs.

What she seeks is to be the epitome of a princess.

Elisabeth’s essence is defined by her beautiful dress, which she considers central to her identity. She doesn’t intend to mimic anyone else. With a prince-like figure already nearby and no glass slipper left behind, there’s no need for someone to come searching for her. If she ever desires a prince, she plans to jump into a pumpkin carriage and simply capture one.

In Elisabeth’s Cinderella world, there are no stepmother and stepsisters. Any oppression would be met with tenfold retribution through her advanced torture techniques, leaving no trace but screams.

Some may point out that Elisabeth is just a version of Cinderella wearing glass slippers, and they are mostly correct.

General Armaments

She uses various props from Grimm’s fairy tales as weapons. Though she questioned if the poisoned apple counts as a villain’s weapon, she liked the idea of attacking with it and let it be.

Other Elisabeths

“We’re the same but rivals♪ Rivals but like-minded friends♪ This is the great Elisabeth era~♪”

Eli-chan avoids using Andersen’s fairy tales. Her primary concept remains within the Grimm fairy tales. “Because~ if he says something~ it annoys me♪”

Jacques de Molay

“Not quite sure, but she seems like a villain! She had an evil-looking face! So, let’s~♪ sing~♪ and stop the tragedy~♪ By covering my ears, it stopped~♪”

“Stop it~♪ Don’t fight~♪ over me~♪… They’re not fighting~♪ Well, that’s that~♪ Fight~♪ Fight more~♪”

Nursery Rhyme

Eli-chan doesn’t accept complaints about what fairy tales mean to her, but she feels a bit down about it~♪ Still, Elisabeth’s strength lies in her quick recovery~♪

Elisabeth Cinderella, your singing was wonderfully exquisite and terribly splendid!!!! I remembered the costume of Cinderella from the old-fashioned and excessively large three major fairy tale collection that was at my grandmother’s house, and I drew it while faintly recalling that image. The dress is imagined like a glass dress to match the glass slippers. I drew her a bit thinner than usual as a pitiful Cinderella, but since Eli-chan is already thin, I regret making her a bit too thin…” (WADARCO)
