[h3]Skills[/h3][b]Einzbern Knowledge:[/b] As one of the last homunculi of the Einzbern Family, Philia is one of the few remaining possessors of Einzbern’s two thousand years’ worth of knowledge and improvements. As a result, she possesses an incredible repertoire of information that she can apply to numerous situations, but its true purpose is to serve as the basis of the recovery of the Einzbern’s ultimate goal.

[b]Swordsmanship:[/b] Over her journeys, Philia managed to obtain a longsword made of Rhenium. She is particularly skilled in its usage, and when coupled with her strength as a homunculus, is a very frightening foe in close quarters for even the strongest of magi (and even against a Servant not of the Knight classes).

[b]Driving ([s]Rank EX[/s]):[/b] In her twenty years of travel in search of the Vessel, it has been necessary for Philia to grow familiar with all sorts of vehicles. As a result, there are few vehicles she is incapable of operation, although she is most familiar with a car, having been made with the purpose of driving the Einzbern caretaker around in her earliest days.

[b]Firearms:[/b] Although not somebody who uses firearms on a frequent basis, Philia is at least familiar with their usage.
[h3]Thaumaturgy[/h3]As an Einzbern homunculus, Philia was created with the ability to make use of the factory’s specialty: alchemy, the manipulation of the flow of matter. It was through this magecraft that the Einzbern were to produce homunculi and construct the Grail, but it can be turned to combat uses via the field of Transmutation. Philia can fluidly transform materials for her own purposes with ease, such as forming weapons from even a random branch.

While not her main specialty, Philia is also familiar with the usage of Healing Magecraft, especially due to her knowledge of the inner workings of the human body.
[h3]Backstory[/h3]A creation of the Einzberns. The homunculus named Philia was one of the many homunculi birthed for the sake of reproducing the Third, and while a result of the advances made in the process of creating Lesser Grails, she herself was not a Justeaze-model. Instead, she was a liaison, a being whose purpose was to obtain knowledge and resources from those outside the Einzberns. 

And it was due to this role that she was able to survive the factory’s destruction.

When the Einzberns fell, Philia had been far from the castle, buying reagents from a magi contact. She felt the loss of her creators immediately, and rapidly returned to home to find all she knew in rubble. Bereft of her primary purpose, Philia shifted her priorities towards reviving the Einzberns, scouring the ruins for anything that remained of the Terminal and taking them into herself. She knew not the specifics of any other survivors besides her, but there was one thing she could feel:

That there was a Lesser Grail still alive.

For the next twenty years, Philia scoured the globe in search the Justeaze-model she knew would assist her in the revival of the Einzberns, all the while gathering as much information and resources as possible on any remnant of the Fuyuki Grail’s location. Her recent creation before the Einzberns’ destruction and given purpose had allowed her to live longer than most of her ilk, and thus she found herself doing odd jobs here and there during her long search.

It was in those long years that Philia worked as a spellcaster, a career that contributed greatly to her familiarity with combat. She logically assumed that by choosing a position that would allow her to meet magic users all across the globe, the likelihood of finding any sign of the Lesser Grail would be far greater. Indeed, it would be when she was serving as a bodyguard for a Clock Tower archaeology expedition that she heard rumours of a Grail ritual being held, and after several weeks of research was able to confirm its existence in Austria. Any other information, however, was beyond her abilities to obtain.

Yet knowing the power behind the Grail, and the fact that its presence would mean that the Lesser Grail could possibly be near, Philia made the decision to leave her work and participate in the Grail War. The risk was great, but the probability of being able to successfully activate the Third for human salvation was higher than it had ever been before. By handing over Einzbern homunculus creation techniques to members of the archaeology expedition, she was able to acquire a catalyst for a powerful Servant, an Assyrian king, for the sake of the war.

Her purpose was clear: bring back the Einzberns and achieve salvation via the Third.
