What would Madora's Noble Phantasms be? How would they differ between classes?

This became so fucking long im so sorry @everyone

In a regular Holy Grail War, Madora would definitely be in possession of at least two Noble Phantasms - her Holy/Demonic Sword, Jörmungandr, and her dragon form.

However, something like Grand Order makes it easier to conceptualize her as she is a being who exists - no, whose existence is defined - by repeating timelines. Her Noble Phantasms for each class are as such:

Saber: Vanilla Madora - a Madora in the process of becoming a hero. Far be she from being inexperienced, and while she is aware of the many paths and ends (and even dead ends) she may face, this Madora represents a piece on the cusp of fate, whose path is mutable, and infinite possibility lies ahead. Her Noble Phantasm is her Holy Blade, Jormungandr: God Eater. It was forged from the pieces of the Demon Sword, Ganglari, and the pieces of her old training armor, with her own hands, and baptized in her own blood. Though in this sense it is “man made” the power of the Invisible Kingdom lingers on through it, commanded by her own force of will, and it was recognized as a true Holy Weapon and Yatogami’s equal, by the Rainbow Sage himself. The sword was made as a direct conceptual counter to Yatogami, whose legend originates from kami who would end a family line, and is one half of the puzzle used to slay Anankos - thus the sword has god-slaying properties.

Lancer: A Madora who has chosen to walk with Hoshido. Make no mistake - she did this to provide an escape for her Nohrian siblings. Alas, this is a Madora who understood half the heart of her Nohrian siblings, who understood their desire for a better life, but overlooked their chains of duty. This is a Madora who only knows tragedy - who has cornered herself, and forces herself to trudge down a path she does not believe in through delusion. A poor girl that even Ophelia would take pity on. Her Noble Phantasm is the culmination of the delusion imparted upon herself, her desire to go back into the past, and the climax of this existence - a reenactment of killing her beloved elder brother. La Divina Tragedia: Remember the Past, and Plunge into the Depths of Hell. An extremely strong anti-unit Noble Phantasm that ignores all buffs through the creation of a minor reality marble that strongly denies the reality of the world. Alas, all dreams end, the curtain closes on all plays, both comedy and tragedy. Awaken, child, and know your sin. The user sustains damage and is stunned through the next turn.

Archer: Not a true “Madora”. Rather, the conceptualization of “Victory” given Madora’s form through the belief of the Nohrian people after her death. In other words, the deification of a human being; a composite existence between the person, Madora, and the concept of “Victory.” In this way, she can be regarded as a divine spirit by Fate standards, although her existence is probably something closer to a Witch, whose territory is her beloved hometown. In this sense, this Madora is something a guardian deity of Nohr. This position is not something special, and any “special” human can reach this point through commendable deeds for the country, though it is a position typically gained by rulers. Her husband has been similarly deified posthumously. Her Noble Phantasm is the blessing of an absolute victory. Well, that’s what it is simplified to it’s base, and what she believes it to be. In reality it is a Reality Marble; so long as she stands with you, the whole of Nohr, past, present, and future, stands with you too. Because they stand with you, because they lend their strength to you, you will certainly be victorious. A support Noble Phantasm that buffs herself and allies with all card type damage up, an attack up, and giving all enemies 1.5% damage taken modifier.

Rider: Madora Lily. A earnest and spirited young woman who wants nothing more than to follow in her elder brother’s footsteps and bring glory to her homeland. In reality, such a Madora isn’t a single Madora from before a certain point in her life…….. She is made from two parts - Firstly, the hindsight acknowledgement from the true Madora as an entity separate from herself. Another person that she is no longer and can no longer return to, a “her” that was cast away in return for the power to change her own fate. And secondly, the sincere wishes of those who knew that cast away girl to save her. This contradiction of the person herself saying “this person cannot exist within me any longer” and others wishing to bring back that beloved girl’s smile created a paradox Madora….. Because the real thing fought earnestly to ensure a happy future. Because the real thing sacrificed herself to challenge fate. Because the magic she received opened countless possibilities, she can exist, in theory. Because the others cannot see this contradiction, because they cannot see inside the catbox, that the pure-hearted girl is no longer there, the truth that she could still exist remains in their hearts.

Madora’s corruption from this individual started as soon as she etched those markings onto her face. But, she could only decide that retroactively, and the period recognized as the point of no return, where that acknowledgement was felt by those around her, only happened after she was taken to Hoshido. Thus, while if that person could exist, she could be no more than 10, she exists as a concept as a girl of unidentifiable age, from 15-18, and embodies traits spanning all across that of her younger self. Her noble Phantasm, as such, is something that “could not exist” yet also something that did, against all odds, but once in her youth. La Primavera: Come, O Wind, Let Spring Bloom Once More. Despite it’s name, Madora was always Madora. This is not a gentle spring that comes on mild weather, but a spring brought about by rain spilt like tears by heavens sliced open by determination. Flowers as fruits of one’s labor. A command of nature itself through the powers of the Dragon’s Vein. An anti-army Noble Phantasm that lowers attack and defense, and gives a minor full-party heal. As a multi-hit full-party quick NP, it also produces many stars.

Caster: While Madora could originally use magic, this Madora is not simply that. This is a Witch Madora, the Madora sacrificed for the sake of a chance of a happy future. Or, should I say Madoras. She is the summation of every failed Madora, of every timeline where she could not achieve her absolute victory. She is the Witch of Fate, able to see into any and all fragmented universes of “her” existence. She was created, not from something like “I want to live,” or even “I want to save everyone,” in the void after her death, but simply the small wish of “I don’t want to lose.” Thus, that singular world was smashed into bits, and each fragment of that existence struggles to gain victory - the victory of everyone being saved, the victory of a happy future. However, because those Madoras are allowed to persist on in those timelines, the witch is someone who can “never win” and who has “never experienced victory.” The direct anti-thesis to Archer Madora. She holds immense power, but both the laws of whatever universe she participates in and her own self imposed status as an “observer” limits her power. ……….Like any witches born as she is, she is exceptionally cruel. Her NP is “O Fortuna: Vae Invictus”. She takes the beings of her opponents into the birth of a new universe and forces them to witness the cruellest fate she could seek for them, and their eventual deaths - not just physically, as that wouldn’t be enough to impact a Heroic Spirit, but the collapse of timespace itself, until the Throne of Heroes itself is wiped from existence. Thus, she forces them to live through the cruelest fate possible for them, and experience their very consciousness being obliterated, before taking them back to their own timeline. Of course, if she wanted to, she could just leave them there, and their physical forms would turn to dust in the timeline she stepped from, as a more practical attack, but that wouldn’t be as fun, now would it? :)

Assassin: Assassin Madora is perhaps the simplest Madora, but important nonetheless. She symbolizes, perhaps not the most important aspect, but an aspect that sets her apart from other “Kamui” existences. The will to commit herself fully to Nohr, body and soul, enough to become a servant to the country, though her existence as a “Kamui” defines her as nobility. As a person, however, perhaps even moreso than Madora Lily, this is a woman who can clearly see her situation, yet chooses to exist like this in a vain attempt for acceptance. Indeed, perhaps this feeling is the apex of girlhood. In any case, this Madora is both eager to please, and ruthlessly efficient, like the best kind of guard dog. Her specialty is slaying anyone who would threaten the Nohrian Royal Family - an assassin to slay assassins. Her NP is Semper Fidelis: My Blood is My Bond, an anti-unit NP good against assassins. Since it represents her protection of Castle Krakenburg, she imparts invincibility and instadeath resistance up upon her comrades. 

Berserker: A Madora who has, due to some circumstance, embraced her draconic blood and urges. Madora forsakes her draconic blood as something unnecessary, and perilous. So what, I wonder, would mark this change…….? Her NP is a complete return to her draconic form, and the havoc it can wrought. “Beast of the Ruined Throne: The Gods Whisper Through Blood”. A trump card that lets her face off against an enemy NP to NP. It automatically triggers an enemy’s NP, but only against herself. If she survives, she unleashes her own beat form upon them.

Ruler: This is the union between Madora, and her husband Marx. Madora fights as a queen to protect those she reigns over. Her husband joins her for their NP. This is a Madora who has succeeded in securing a future, at least for Nohr, and reigns as Queen. She wields Caduceus, a staff made from combining Jormungandr and Yatogami with her old training lance. It is both a staff of healing and a spear to harm. Her NP with her husband is the conceptual ushering in of Nohr’s Golden Age. While Archer Madora’s NP is “Nohr stands with you,” their’s is akin to “Nohr embraces you.” A combination of Marx’s Rider NP, Stella Polaris: The Light that Pierces the Endless Night, and Madora’s Twin Snake Paradox: Let the Past Revive to form The Embrace of the Dark Night: The Stars Shine for You. Marx lays down his Noble Phantasm to create a Nohr that will protect the player and power Madora up. Madora then deals party-wide damage with her Caduceus, with a chance to stun.

Avenger: A Madora whose repeated existences bear down upon her soul. In her instability, Anankos tried to posses her, only driving her further into her dark wishes. This is a Madora who has reached the extremes of her being. The echoes of Anankos resound through her blood, awakening the powers of an elder dragon within her. Her blood sings to Marx’s own draconic blood, and awakens it within him, turning him into a draconic monstrosity fused with his armor, and resulting in the sublimation of his core, hidden ideals to be followed, without anything obstructing them. This is a Madora who lashes out against the world who denies her happiness time and time again, and a Marx who she wants to lash out with her. Unfortunately for her, Marx’s inner wishes are simply “to protect her.” But as that is the only thing his draconic urge allows him to follow, things like “speech” are insignificant to him, making him seem nothing more than her lifeless puppet, though that is far from the truth. Marx fights while she commands. With no moral barrier, he can wield Siegfried to its full potential. Their Noble Phantasm is a result of Madora killing Anankos prematurely and devouring his flesh in the hopes of curing the madness he himself inflicted upon her. It is simply called Madora: God Eater, though in reality, it’s a double attack from her and Marx wherein he loans her Siegfried’s destructive power, and he powers him up through Beast of the Ruined Throne: The Gods Whisper Through Blood.

1, 3, 7, 14, 20, 39, 49, 63, 82 ^_^

(Alright, I’m back with answering these since I now have time….as we ALL do~)

Again, I apologize this question was asked 4 years ago…SO, I’m gonna TRY my best to answer this based on the archive that my beautiful blog has xD 

Thanks @rathgir​ for asking this question!! I’m so sorry I never answered it on time! ;w; (Also I think some of these questions are the same which is ok xD)

1: Is there a boy/girl in your life?

A: OK, I could answer this a million ways, but I think the context of this question is clear. So, my answer would be no and not for a long time. I’m honestly happy the way things are, but if we’re talking about my handsome, bishonen boys than…*dead* I mean, in that context you could say I have LOTS of boys in my life ;) xD

3: What do you think of when you hear the word “meow?”

A: I think I’ve already answered this one, but that’s ok. I have to say that I still think about characters with cat ears saying meow xD This still has not changed which is hilarious because I really stay away from half animal/half human characters for obvious reasons. (I mean, whatever’s your tea xD)

7: Have you ever slept on a couch with someone else?

A: This is a funny question because I have many times. There are many reasons for this and all of them are not what you would think. xD Lots of times I do because we need to share because someone’s over. Other times I end up crashing after watching a show with my family. I have never slept with anyone else though :o

14:Which hurts the most, physical or emotional pain?

A: Based on my personal experience, I would say emotional pain. I just think emotional pain scars more and lasts longer. THEN AGAIN, you can argue having your limbs cut up would hurt a ton. I’m speaking from a more metaphorical point of view I guess? 

20:When did you last talk to the last person you shared a kiss with?

A: Well define “kiss”. If you mean any type of kiss then I’ll say we talked just a few minutes ago. If we’re talking like a kiss from your lover or significant other than I’d say 4 years ago? I don’t remember how long whoops xD (Wasn’t that memorable tbh… :P)

39:Has anyone upset you in the last week?

A: Actually, yes and many people. I would say a big one happened in between this week and the last. It was really painful, (still is…) but I’m slowly getting over it. 

49:Does your bedroom have a door?

A: Yes it does! (Thank god for that xD I hate open doors/spaces that are open at night)

63:Where will you be 5 hours from now?

A: STAYING UP and possibly on the computer. IF not, I’ll be asleep earlier than I normally would xD (Then again, it’s almost 11pm)

82:Has anyone seen you in your underwear in the last 3 days?

A: Yes…but only because I was running around to find my pajamas xD

Alrighty, that’s the end of the ask! Thanks so much for reading this if you did and thanks to @rathgir​ for being so sweet by sending this ask.

Distract me pls (again xD)

Take care

3, 16, 25, 59, 73 ^_^

Hello~! Back again with more asks~! I have yet another one from the lovely, @rathgir~! (Thank you for sending me asks all the time, I can’t thank you enough <3)

I believe these ones are from the “distract me pls” meme so here we go~!! (Tell me if it’s the wrong one and I will re-answer it ^^; I have many asks in my inbox that don’t match the dates so that plan is not working as smoothly…Sorry about that! :’o)

3: What do you think of when you hear the word “meow?”

I’d like to say the obvious and say a cat xD but I mean what fun would be in that, right? :P 

Well, I don’t really know cause a million things come to mind at once. I kinda have a clip of a cat from an anime or tv show playing in my head saying, “meow”. (If that makes any sense) I honestly don’t know xD. OR an upset cat when they yell or hiss. ;w; 

16: Are you tired?

Well, three years ago when you asked this, I would’ve been REALLY tired xD 

As of now, I’m not tired. I’m more in lazy mode since school is gonna start up in a week or so and I’ve done nothing xD I mean, I did lots of drawing and painting, but they don’t feel eventful to me…

If we’re talking about life or something particular, I don’t really know. It’s just that sad feeling of the day ending and you did nothing so to speak xD 

Maybe something I didn’t get to do, but I don’t know what. That’s what probably makes me feel exhausted. 

25: What’s on your mind?

I feel like what to do tomorrow and my hesitation of posting on IG is on my mind… I’m pretty simple-minded, but some things really stick and then I get stuck worrying about it when it’s nothing… 

I just can’t find it in myself to do anything when it comes to the IG problem. I mean, art’s gonna be my life so I have to stay focused and get stuff done!! That’s what I have to keep telling myself ^^;

So, pretty much random anxiety. Other than that, I’m just floating like a cloud~ xD

59: Green or purple grapes?

This one was actually tricky for me when I read it! It’s because I’ve had both types, but I never had a favourite. Having to pick one over the other now has made me see that I might like one over the other ^^;

I only had Green grapes a few times in comparison to purple ones and I feel like purple is the winner.

Ironically, a week ago when my family was over to visit us, I was killing my dad’s grapes xD Funny thing is, I don’t ever touch fruits! So, it was funny to hear my uncle notice and asking me, “If I’m enjoying them”… 

73: How old will you be in 5 months?

Well, in five months my age will not change!

I’m a March baby, so this won’t affect me! I’ve finally reached the big 20 and honestly, I don’t feel any older. xD 

Oh, but the good news is I finally passed the driver’s test thing so I’m good now for round two! So, I guess I feel a bit more “adultish” xD lol

Alright, that concludes the questions for the “distract me pls” ask meme! Gosh, I’m so sorry it took so long for me to answer, @rathgir!! 

I feel bad cause so many nice asks are just sitting in my inbox collecting dust! AND, knowing me I can’t write fast enough so I apologize for it being REALLY late and SUPER long!! ^^; 

Thank you to anyone that stuck around to read all this~ xD You are truly the MVPs here. \^0^/

I hope this gets to you, @rathgir!
