CRAU INFO: N/A
SUITABILITY:
☽ LEADERSHIP
In game you learn that Shousetsu is the leader of a military academy which takes in wandering ronin and allows them to hone their skills. Shousetsu's students are... rough around the edges to say the very least, more likely to give you the stink eye than anything else. However, the admiration they have for their teacher is unmatched, going as far as to give her the title of Grandmaster. Ready to defend their teacher at the drop of a hat, their loyalty shows that Shousetsu is a fair and just leader, one that manages to take even the unruliest samurai and make him a student. She is patient yet stern with them, understanding yet ambitious. In terms of leadership Shousetsu knows a thing or two about taking the lead.
☽ MAGECRAFT
In the Fate universe mages are humans with particularly adept "magic circuits" or cultivated from families with high standings in the mage society. In Shousetsu's case her magical energy is particularly powerful, enabling her not only to summon an extremely powerful Servant but also to use element-based offensive attacks to repel enemies. Shousetsu is able to use this ability to her advantage, allowing her to fight alongside her Servant when crossing swords with an opponent.
☽ DETERMINATION
If determination is what LILITH wants, Shousetsu has it in spades. She sort of needs to in light of her circumstances- that being chosen as a participate in a ritual that promises an omnipotent wish to whoever comes out the victor. It's about as bloody as you'd expect with an all-powerful wish granting item on the line and Shousetsu's wish is particularly ambitious. In order for her to see it fulfilled she does what she needs to do, which has included (but not limited to!) pushing her physical body to the limits, playing pretend to trick her enemies and assisting in kidnapping. She'll get her hands dirty and play the villain to make sure she gets her results, because the eventual outcome in the end will be well worth the scheming.
☽ TACTICAL
This touches a little bit on what I mentioned before in regard to "playing pretend." Shousetsu is a samurai to be certain, but she is also a masterful tactician, often trying to think two steps ahead of her opponent. An example of this arises when the Servants participating in the ritual are suddenly taken over by a strange spell and turn against their Masters. Shousetsu-- having caught wind of these events-- comes up with a ploy to fool the opposing Masters by pretending her own Servant has betrayed her, even going as far as to make sure her Servant attacks her in front of them. Under the guise of having been similarly betrayed Shousetsu is able to outwit them and soon her and Rider find the wish-granting vessel. She prefers to plan out her actions before leaping into them, although this method is not without its conditions.
☽ SWORD FIGHTING
The two swords at her hip are hardly for show. As mentioned earlier she teaches and is the founder of a military school, so sword practicing is a daily activity. When Shousetsu isn't tutoring her students she's crossing blades with opponents in the waxing moon ritual. Her swordsmanship is nothing to scoff at, though one might argue that she relies on her mage craft more so than her katana. Regardless she is adept in close combat and lives by a very strict moral code.
Her wish? To create a just and equal world free of pain and injustice.

☽ Homunculus:
Shousetsu appears and acts human but is actually a homunculus-- a living doll created by means of alchemy. Despite being able to be injured and bleed her body reacts different from a human's. Because of Shousetsu's amplified magic circuits her wounds are able to heal faster than a human's and she is able to sustain her stamina far longer as well. From the wiki here:
☽ Magecraft:
In Fate magecraft is closely tied to one's ability to maintain "magic circuits", in which Shousetsu has an abundance in. Shousetsu's magecraft- which is uniquely tied to her physical and magical energy- is merely a type of combat style for her and not necessarily an occupation. In combat Shousetsu can use magecraft as mainly a use of offensive attacks. Her elemental magic includes:
- Fire. Shousetsu can release fireballs from her hand and direct them at enemies. This doesn't seem to be something she can do consecutively and often alternates between elemental attacks.
- Earth. She can pull stone and earth from the ground and use them as temporary shields, as well as obstacles to throw or use against enemies. These stones are particularly big and can be used to cause quite a bit of damage. She can summon a wide berth of them to throw enemies aside or to defend herself against attacks.
- Water. Shousetsu can summon several waterspouts across a small radius and strike enemies with it, either taking them by surprise or dealing heavy damage. Another one of her water-based attacks include forming a large body of water around her to trap enemies in. The radius of this isn't particularly large but it's enough to buy her time to recover.
Essentially, Shousestu is a talented elemental magic user capable of basic spells most magus can do.
Some of these abilities include and are not limited to: deciphering hidden codes, using mystic items, controlling elemental spells and manipulating items. Such skills are often the standard in magus training and in game we can see Shousetsu utilizing these skills.
☽ Sword skills:
As specified above, Shousetsu is a samurai closely watched by the shogunate. In addition to leading a military academy that takes in wayward ronin she is a skilled swordswoman and carries two swords with her at all times during battle. She relies primarily on her elemental magic for battle but still uses her swords when fighting humans and other samurai.
☽ Tactical:
Despite Shousetsu's impressive abilities her main ace is her Servant: Rider. While Rider is fully capable of fighting alone and dealing with opponents with her own powers sometimes she and Shousetsu collaborate. For example there is a move they utilize where Shousetsu quite literally leaps off Rider's levitating armor to deal several strikes to an enemy before Rider delivers a final fatal blow.
NERFED POWERS: After reviewing I don't think Shousetsu's abilities need to be nerfed because none of her abilities are game breaking or over powered.
PERSONAL ITEM: Two Muramasa swords- she carries them with her constantly.
ALTERNATE IDENTITY: Mori Souiken
CODE NAME CHOICE: Moon Hare, if it is acceptable. If not, Liberator.
