Well, still, feel free to guess if you want. I won't hold it against you if you're wrong.
Well, she'll be different than Megami. Less serious, more enigmatic. Still, she'll be fun.
Yeah. It's fun thinking up characters though, and having to research historical/legendary figures for them to represent just makes it cooler.

Heh, well I'll consider it the next time I remember my guesses.
Regardless, it should be fun.
It is. It's just that so many figures could actually be a Servant one way or another, so it's really that there's so many choices, it's almost impossible to just stick with just one.

Alright. Cool.
It should.
It was hard for me to settle on some. On others it was hard for me to come up with anything. There are only so many female legendary warriors.

Yeah, history's lacking some kickass female warriors.

Yeah. Made if difficult to come up with some since I wanted at least half the Servants to be female.

Well, let see: there's Joan of Ark from France, the Amazons of Ancient Greece and/or Rome, the Trưng Sisters of Vietnam, maybe Jack the Ripper of England (could be good for an Assassin role, but hell if I know).

There is Tomoe of Japan, a female samurai. Legend has it that Empress Jinguu lead an army to Korea. Shen Yunying was a female martial artist in China. Princess Pingyang of China had an all-female army.

God... I'm beginning to think I didn't put enough Asian Heroic Spirits into this thing...
You wouldn't happen to know of a good fit for a female Assassin, would you Rabukurafuto. My second Assassin is the one who's identity is the least set for me.
I considered using Joan of Arc but decided against it. She was too similar to Saber in how I envisioned her, and it was almost too obvious.
Amazons also seemed a good idea. I might have went for one (probably Hippolyta, who seems to be the most significant) if I hadn't found other characters I liked more.
Jack the Ripper is an interesting idea, and a very enigmatic figure, but I instead went with a couple other murderers and villains for my darker Servants.

Erm...Charlotte Corday assassinated Jean-Paul Marat in 1793 and became known as "the Angel of Assassination". Too late?

Welll... yeah... she seems interesting and stuff and is a strong possibility...
However, I was more asking you in particular hoping I'd get some Japanese or Chinese figure or something. Really at this point it does seem like I've focused a little much on European figures.

I was thinking a little about Empress Wu of China, but she was never a professional assassin, and she killed very defenseless people. Unfortunately, there are no famous kunoichi, either because they may never have existed or they hid themselves very well.
Edit: No, there is Chiyome Mochizuki, a woman who gathered other women to train as spies and assassins, and Mochizuki supposedly came from a ninja clan. I think we have your woman!

Damn. I was hoping for some famous kunoichi or something. But if there aren't any, that's too bad...
The false Assassin in Fate/Stay Night is a swordsman rather than any sort of actual assassin, come to think of it though, so the class seems a little broad.

AH, I missed that. Just looked her up.
I guess can have my sexy kunoichi after all.
