Name: Minamoto no Raikou
Title: Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Ushi-Gozen, Kālasūtra Hell Rider
Class: Saber
Gender: Female
Birth and death dates: 10~11th century
Alignment: Chaotic evil
Attribute: Sky
Place of origin: Japan
Talents: doting on her beloved, fighting with sticks, listening to her parents
Enemy: Shuten-Douji, Ibaraki-Douji
Likes: Shuten-Douji, humans, cooking
Dislikes: Shuten-Douji, Oni, parents
Armament: Doujigiri Yasutsuna
Personality:
Raikou, since birth, has continually suffered for she had thought of herself as something “close to a demon”, even if she has the blood of a god. Below her devotions, such as responding to the expectations of her father, and defending the Imperial Capital, she is constantly bearing a viewpoint that “I am not a human being.” She cannot live as a human being, and she also cannot live as a demonic being.
This in turn has caused her to view herself as lesser than the people around her; she gets emotional fast, is easily startled, and is generally very jealous of both oni and humans who are comfortable in her skin, with her inner demons only enlarging her emotions and feelings.
One day a new demon appeared in the Imperial Capital. That was Shuten-douji. Boasting “freedom as a demonic being” and doing as she likes, Shuten-douji enjoyed herself in the world of humans, and that very state was “what I wanted to be.” Raikou became infatuated with the drunken-oni, her oni-side feeding her jealousy, and even though she later learned to control it, in her Lily state, she is left with that burning jealousy.
Her wish is to be human, but depending on the course of her story...she might wish for what she despised instead.
Bio:
Parameters:
Strength: B
Endurance: A
Agility: B+
Mana: A
Luck: D
Class skills:
Magic resistance: A
Magic Resistance grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.
At rank A, it cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a 'Magus Killer'.
Riding: A+
is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. It is said that dragon type mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding.
At rank A+ all vehicles and all creatures up to the level of Phantasmal Beast and Divine Beast can be used as mounts. However, that does not apply to members of the Dragon Kind.
Personal skills:
Prana burst(lightning): A
Because Gozu Tennou is the incarnation of Śakra, Minamoto no Raikou possesses the power of Kitano; the ability to wield lightning. As a Servant, it is expressed as a Mana Burst Skill of immense prowess.
Raikou is able to infuse her body with lightning to drastically increase her speed and strength. It can also be used to infuse her weapon with lightning, as well as release bursts of it in any direction around her. When reverse impulse is completed, this skill is brought to the rank of A+.
Eternal Arms: A+
Eternal Arms Mastership allows Raikou to wield any weapon from any class, be it, bow, spear, gun, or sword. It also prevents the degradation of fighting skills when under the effect of mental hindrance.
Minamoto no Raikou was a natural genius warrior from birth, able to quickly learn and develop the skill to wield any and all weapons she could get her hands on.
Charisma: E
Charisma is a composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Increases the ability of allies during group battles.
Maybe it is part of her inner-oni, or maybe her natural beauty is to blame, but there is no denying the charm that oozes of Raikou, which only heightened as she grew up due to her leading the four guardian kings. however in her Lily version, she still has a bit of childlike wonder about her, only later in her life developing into a seductively charming woman who leads her own crew.
Inversion Impulse(Oni kind): -
Inversion Impulse is a state of being where one's mind is overpowered by other factors of their body. With the case of half-breed humans with Oni blood, it is that their non-human blood, their instincts, overpower their human blood, their reason.
Raikou was the heaven-sent child of Gozu tennou, branding her as the child of an oni. Although both her parents were human, this oni which was placed within her was lurking in the dark, always gnawing away at Raikou until she gave in to the urge to shed her human skin. But Raikou was strong, she never released the demon and always found ways to suppress it. Yet it was still a part of her, and if she were to only waver once, it could all be in vain.
If Raikou uses this skill too much, she slowly turns into an Oni, and once it surpasses it's apex, she can no longer turn back into her old self permanently replacing this skill with “Oni-Kind A” and removing the skill blossoming journey; unless she seals the Oni-side in time.
Blossoming Journey(Mystery Slayer): -
Blossoming Journey is a blessing towards the Oni-human who began facing her inner demons. As Raikou learns to control her Oni-blood, she slowly becomes more human, which increases her ability to slay Mystery as she is no longer a mystery herself.
Raikou’s journey began when she was born, but only really kickstarted at her 15’th birthday, when she was brought to the capital to become a warrior, and receive the name Minamoto no Raikou. she became a military commander who drove away many mysteries, including the oni of mount Ibuki. However, one of the mystery’s she was sent to slay, was the oni within her. she was ready to take her own life, but the four guardian kings found a different way; seal Ushi-Gozen within her one last time.
As a Lily she eventually learns to seal her inner beast and maximize the potential of Mystery slayer permanently, replacing this skill with “Mystery slayer A” and removing reverse impulse from her skill list; unless her Oni-side takes over.

Bio:
The child of Minamoto no Mitsunaka, who was born as the heaven-sent child of Gozu Tennou, was left in the care of a temple as an unwanted child and was raised in secret because of his abnormal birth (being the child of an Oni). On the occasion of turning 15 years old, the unwanted child gave himself the name “Ushi-Gozen”, and he built up a demonic country for himself at Suzugamori, Shinagawa. The ones who departed to exterminate him was Minamoto no Raikou, a samurai who has the same father as him, and the Four Heavenly Kings that were commanded by Raikou.
Meanwhile, it was Sakata no Kintoki who decided in his mind to save only Ushi-Gozen’s life during the extermination in any way possible. Away from the capital for a mission, Kintoki proceeded towards the base of Ushi-Gozen instead, but negotiations broke down. The subordinates of Ushi-Gozen were closed in and destroyed by the Four Heavenly Kings, as well as by Raikou, who were all accompanying Kintoki while hidden.
Already up to this point, Gozen entered into the Asakusa River (Sumida River), and it would become the shape of a huge ox with a bodily height of approximately ten shaku, before it would spout water at the enemy armies, drowning many people to death. Ushi-Gozen was aware that the figures of the Four Heavenly Kings were not in sight among the enemy ranks, so he broke into a gallop towards the enemy camp, eight travelling horsemen, and seven strong samurai, before submerging to the bottom of Asakusa River and leaving these words behind: “One year, thunder will nominate someone in the capital.”
In Reality, Raikou is a woman. This person is the true figure of Minamoto no Raikou, and “Ushi-Gozen” is the younger sister of Minamoto no Raikou in the old Joururi, “The True Form of Ushi-Gozen”
The way of these things came from an interpretation. The daughter of Minamoto no Mitsunaka, who was born as the heaven-sent child of Gozu Tennou, was left in the care of a temple as a male and was raised in secret because of her abnormal birth (being an Oni child).
On the occasion of turning 15 years old, she was brought back to the capital to play an active role, being gifted the name Minamoto no Raikou. Her name was established as a military commander who, on the surface, drove away many mysteries, taking on in the beginning Ushi-Oni (who is close to her in a sense). Consequently, the episodes of “Sakata no Kintoki protecting Ushi-Gozen, who had fallen into a predicament of being driven into a corner”, “the life and death struggle between Minamoto no Raikou and the demonic Ushi-Gozen”, etc., as depicted in “The True Form of Ushi-Gozen”, were somehow actually speaking of the events…
… of the conflicts with herself. For the purpose of launching herself to the center stage of history as a central figure of the Minamoto clan, Minamoto no Raikou was attempting to detach “Ushi-Gozen”, who is by definition the aspect of her demonic nature/strange form. Speaking of the modern era, the land that corresponds to Tokyo was where Raikou contended against her tempestuous self by means of a deep meditation. Raikou faced with “Ushi-Gozen”… the demon inside her, and Ushi-Gozen finally separated from Raikou, manifesting as an avatar of Gozu Tennou. The sky became a storm, the thunder roared chaotically, and the earth broke apart. Raikou was to “kill herself” together with the Four Heavenly Kings in order to defeat this being.
In this way, it became obvious what the reason was for Sakata no Kintoki to start protecting Ushi-Gozen in the middle of this battle. Kintoki pondered about Raikou, his substitute parent when he was being brought up, and he understands that killing Ushi-Gozen will also kill Raikou as the two are linked. Kintoki, in order to save Raikou, needs to “kill while keeping alive” Ushi-Gozen————in other words, preaching the power and love of the bond between parent and child, he saw the conclusion as Ushi-Gozen was sealed (returned back) inside of Raikou.
Though as Raikou got summoned as a Lily, she is currently in her 15 year old state of mind, never having released Ushi-Gozen nor sealed it within her with the help of the four kings.

Name: Sakra’s Vajra
Title:Shakudai Kan'in Kongousho
Rank: A+
NP-Type: Anti-army
Range: 1~40
Maximum number of targets: 200
Description:
Sakra’s Vajra is the full power, released form of her lineage, a transformation into a sacred sword that Raikou wields. It is not the proper nature of the sword, but a manifestation of Sakra. It is an application of Mana Burst that allows her to send Gozu tennou’s avatar into the sword in the form of magical energy, and then the sword amplifies it and allows it to be launched as an attack. It manifests as violet lightning, her cursed lineage being amplified by the sword, and directs it at the opponent. Raikou feels the weapon possesses a "curse‐like glory", not allowing herself to become an oni. Upon utilizing it, she takes a stance, while at the same time, her reverse impulse is activated due to the requirement of it being released before she can use the attack, which changes her appearance temporarily to a complete oni. The space around her and the sword becomes enveloped in violet light and thunder, and the blade of the sword, enveloped by the radiance of lightning, gives off strange, otherworldly and furious sounds and begins to transform. Changing from the clear beautiful shape of her blade Doujigiri Yasutsuna, it transforms into a literal manifestation of Indra for the duration of the attack. Upon raising the sword, she releases the lightning upon the enemy as a flash of light, a surging wave with the simple purpose of destruction. It releases a straight line of violet lightning from the tip of her sword, destroying all in its path. Utilizing it takes a great deal of energy, giving her intense pain throughout her body.

Name: Kami no Doku
Title: Oni slaying poison of the divine
Rank: B
NP-Type: Anti-unit(self)
Range: ~
Maximum number of targets: 1
Description:
The potent elixir stored within flasks was always one of Raikou’s go to weapons when wielding subterfuge and infiltration. In her life, this very poison proved to be the end of the legendary “drunken oni” Shuten Douji. It’s contents are able to wreak havoc on the body, at high enough concentration it would melt flesh faster than a steaming oven; it was the poison that could kill Oni after all.
In its current form, Raikou can apply the poison to a multitude of tools, including arrows, swords, daggers, armor, and even cars.

Name: Kumo-Kiri
Title:Spider-cutter
Rank: C
NP-Type: Anti-unit
Range: 1
Maximum number of targets: 1
Description:
When Raikou suffered from malaria, and lay on a bed, a strange tall monk appeared, released some rope, and tried to capture her. Raikou, despite her sickness, cut him with her famous sword, the Hizamaru, causing the monk to flee. The next day, Raikou led her Four Guardian Kings to chase after the blood trail of the monk, and arrived at a mound behind Kitano jinja where there was a large spider. Raikou and the others caught it, pierced it with an iron skewer, and exposed it to a riverbed. Raikou’s illness left her immediately, and the sword that cut the spider was from then on called the Kumo-kiri. The sword had collected Raikou’s illness, stored it into the sword, and released it into the spider.
Kumo-Kiri is effectively a “Impurity" collecting sword, capable of absorbing any illness, poison, or curse and storing it into the sword. Raikou is then able to release the same impurity when cutting something else. It is also able to store multiple impurities at a time to release at the same time.
