History Characters / MeltyBlood

* CatGirl: In terms of design, she's essentially a SuperDeformed version of Arcueid with a cat's ears and tail, catlike eyes, and a CatSmile.

* EyeBeam: The True Ancestor Beam is a pair of bright beams fired from her eyes, and her main form of any ranged combat.

* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Type Lumina''[='s=] Boss Rush mode, Neco-Arc trying to sign the whole thing off is absurdly interrupted by Shiki (implied to be Nanaya specifically) who cuts her in half before going on his own plans. Though "Lumi-Arc" after the battle assures Miyako that she will return.]]

* WrongContextMagic: The idea of Servants existing in ''Tsukihime'' timeline is already a tall order due to how weak the Human Order there is, but a fusion of a living human and a Heroic Spirit borders on impossible concept. Roa, the guy who has lived through many incarnations through {{Body Surf}}ing, finds Mash's situation abhorrent as her having to live as a [[CensorBox ██]] is a worse fate than a Dead Apostle's stolen eternity.

* ForWantOfANail: Her existence is tied to the ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' universe's possible creation. According to [[AllInTheManual extra material]], her being stillborn led her twin sister to become head of Atlas instead, being credited with Rani's, one of ''Extra's'' main heroines, creation even.

The Dust of Osiris is the BigBad and FinalBoss of ''Actress Again''. She is the TATARI of a possible future created from the portion of Sion's blood that Wallachia stole from her. [[ForWantOfANail It is effectively Sion as she would have been had she returned to Atlas and never met Shiki]] and is a WellIntentionedExtremist. Having decided that humanity could not be saved, she hoped to utilize the Unified Language, as well as a distorted space caused by the Crimson Moon's TimeTravel to [[KillAllHumans convert all life into data]] and store it in her supercomputer, Hermes, [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture leaving behind a record of their existence]], at least giving the lives of humanity significance. In all endings where she is fought she is defeated and vanishes, except in V. Sion's where [[TheStarscream V. Sion absorbs her power and becomes the new TATARI herself]].

* ForWantOfANail: See FutureBadass below.
* FutureBadass: [[spoiler: She's a potential alternate Sion created by the TATARI. When Zepia's personality was destroyed, Osiris took over the TATARI. [[ForWantOfANail It is essentially Sion had she not met Shiki and stayed with Atlas.]]]]

* ForWantOfANail: Tsukihime's version of Roa never met the Count.

* HitboxDissonance: Neco-Arc's hurtbox in ''Type Lumina'' [[https://wiki.gbl.gg/images/8/82/MBTL_Neco_5A_hb.png is about twice as tall as she is]] to make it so that can actually be hit with standing normals

* CloningBlues: In his secret Story Mode in ''Act Cadenza Ver. B'', he must fight 4 clones of himself as the mid-boss.

* AlternateUniverse: She and the other Neco-Arcs are apparently the result of Zelretch's multiuniversal travels, as Aoko mentions that Neco-Arc is the work of "the old man".

* BossInMookClothing: Specifically BonusBoss in mook clothing. In Current Code, sometimes performing too well during an arcade run (such as scoring a lot of Arc Drive Finishes) causes her to challenge you while [[SNKBoss totting her infamous Eclipse style]], which gives her insane Magic Meter boost and ''0-cost supers''. Losing to her here doesn't end your run, though.

!!!Voiced by: Creator/RioNatsuki (JP - ''Melty Blood'', ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm''), Creator/SatomiAkesaka (JP - ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'', as "[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Eltnum]]")

* GuestFighter: In ''Under Night In-Birth'' under the name [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Eltnum]]. She appears as a hidden boss character.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Even though Saber's name had been localized as being "Altria" for some time, the initial release of ''Type Lumina'' has her name be rendered as "Artoria" like in some older works. Later update changed it to be read as "Altria".

* NotSoStoic: Shiki you womanizer... In her winquote against Shiki, Sion comments that she had to fight because he distracted her from her calculations, but it wasn't his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, it was... just him.

* FinalBoss: She, [[spoiler:or rather [[TheBusCameBack the Miyako from the original]] ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'']], serves as the last opponent of ''Type Lumina'''s fourth Boss Rush and Season 2 as a whole.

* BadassBaritone: [[VocalDissonance Despite not looking badass.]]

* WhipItGood: Her Etherlite in ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'''s gameplay.

* ShoutOut: In sixth chapter of ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'', the headmaster of Reien Girl's Academy is stated to be "Mother Riesbyfe" and mentioned to have a large string instrument case in her office.

Shiki Ryougi from ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' makes a [[GuestFighter special]] [[CrossOver appearance]] in ''Melty Blood: Actress Again''. For a proper writeup, please consult the ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' [[Characters/TheGardenOfSinners characters page]]. Shiki is explicitly stated in ''Melty Blood'' to have come from [[AlternateUniverse another universe]], most likely because she and Tohno Shiki do not exist in the same universes. She was apparently brought there by Archetype: Earth, and her story mode ends with the two of them starting to fight.

* AlternateSelf: In ''Fate'' timelines including the ''LightNovel/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles'' and ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' worlds, he still became a Dead Apostle but kept his sanity, remaining head of Atlas and even adopting Sion as his daughter and successor.

** Amusingly the real Vlad Tepes appears as a Servant in ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' and another interpretation in ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''; one wonders what would happen if they encountered each other.

* SuperOCD: The notion that something might be "random" irritates her incredibly.

* FinalBoss: She, [[spoiler:or rather [[TheBusCameBack the Miyako from the original]] ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' continuity, serves as the last opponent of ''Type Lumina'''s fourth Boss Rush and Season 2 as a whole.

* AdaptationalModesty: Ushiwakamaru's design in this game has her wearing much more clothing than what she is usually depicted wearing in ''FGO''; the outfit depicted in ''Type Lumina'' does not have the black body suit in the original mobile game.

* VillainTeleportation: She can keep up with someone [[RunOrDie running for their life]] by simply [[SexyWalk walking]] after them like Arcueid, or even running, [[ForTheEvulz if she's so inclined]], but she's extremely fond of this.

* TheCameo: She appears in silhouette during the ending of ''Type Lumina's'' Boss Rush 4 to strike down Neco-Arc.

* AntiHero: Can't get any more anti-heroic than being one of the most famous ones in all of literature. He's so famous, in fact, that it makes him one of the most powerful Avegner-class servants in-universe.

* ItsPersonal: He despises Roa for, well, [[ManipulativeBastard being Roa]], and in fact killed a version of him in another life (and also [[DeaderThanDead burned his soul out of existence]]) because his incarnation at the time was one of the "three wise men" who framed his fellow prisoner in the Cheateau d'if, Abbe Faria.

* ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:''Type Lumina''[='s=] Boss Rush story is about Miyako training and trying to prove to Neco-Arc that she can be a main heroine as well, being the only character to have a proper extended story scenario]].
