Character Name: Irisviel von Einzbern
Character Series: Fate/Zero
Background: Here!
Point in Canon: After Lancer's death.
Personality:

When you meet Irisviel, the first thing you will notice is that she's the kind person that is ready to listen to you. She is always the one that speaks to Saber and explains her Kiritsugu's intentions and goals and she does this with such kindness that it reaches Saber's heart. This also speaks of the great love and devotion that she feels towards that man who is almost her whole world.

Having lived trapped inside the Castle, she doesn't know many things from the outside world except from what her husband tells her. Since she's the Grail's vessel and an homunculus, there are many things she wishes to understand: the first of them is the human's heart. Even if she's not a real human, Irisviel wanted to live a human life, even choosing to give birth to a child to experience what motherhood is.

There's no doubt of the love and compassion she can show to others, particularly when it comes to children. Despite being in a war, she's really optimistic towards everything, and even when she doesn't fully understands her husband's wish, she still chooses to devote herself to make it real. Irisviel is willing to sacrifice herself if that means protecting the ones she cares about, like she did to protect Ilya from another Holy Grail War, or when she decided to face Kotomine Kirei in the forest to protect Kiritsugu.

While she can be like an innocent child seeing the world for the first time, she can be smart when she needs to be. She's sharp and determined when she was speaking with Kotomine, seeking the best outcome while trying to not leave any openings in her agreement. But when she can be herself, Irisviel often enjoys the small things of the world.

She wants to experience new things, such as walking in the city with her knight, watching the ocean or being in a Japanese house for the first time. Irisviel trusts the people with good heart such as Saber and her husband. And while she might look weak outside, she will show when she's displeased or bothered, however this doesn't mean she won't try her best to understand the other's heart.

She's truly aware of what awaits her in the end, yet she holds no regrets. It pained her to lie to her knight, but Irisviel knew what was the best and what she had to do for the sake of her husband. She's willing to accept Maiya's feelings towards Kiritsugu in the end because she knows that he needs her, despite the fact that she really disliked her at first. As an homunculus, she fills her role but cannot help but dream with a happy ending with all her family together.

Sample Entry:

[ She couldn't ignore the cry of a small child that lost her mother in the crowd. Irisviel's motherly instinct strikes again as she's holding the child's hand gently with a small smile. ]

We will find your mother soon, I promise. [ Iri said to calm the child, and she truly meant it. ] I will not let your hand go while we search for her, so there's no reason to cry, right? You're not alone anymore.

[ Her kind voice reached her heart and the kid nodded with a small smile. ] I'm Irisviel, but you can call me Iri.

[ She couldn't let that child cry anymore. She could only imagine how sad her mother would be, and that was enough for Iri to take into action right now. ]
