Yasuke (YAH-soo-kay)
Weapon-Bearer 弥介 (a.k.a. Sakura Berserker)
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Yasuke is a tall and muscular woman. She has dark skin, and her hair ranges from medium to long length.
Special abilities
Yasuke's Noble Phantasm is the Kashingatana Ultimate Strike. Upon activation, Yasuke enters her berserker's rage with her odachi in hand. During this rage though, Yasuke is channeling all of the incoming damage that she receives into stored energy. This energy is eventually released in a very wide and devastating sweep with her blade. The more damage she has taken while in this special rage state, the more damage that the slash does. This slash is capable of slicing through hardened steel and destroying multiple targets at a time.
Yasuke is also a rare instance of a servant having a secondary Noble Phantasm. Not much is known about this secondary Noble Phantasm, beyond that it is a move that transports her and the ones that she cares for into a demi-plane, also known as a Reality Marble. Why this ability exists and how it activates is a mystery.
Apparel & Accessories
In combat, Yasuke wears a set of form-fitting scale mail armor. Out of combat, she wears a set of robes and shorts that she received while serving under Oda Nobunaga. Her shoes are traditional wooden sandal-type shoes.
Specialized Equipment
Yasuke carries an odachi with her as her primary weapon. Alongside that, she also carries a second katana with her that she can dual-wield thanks to her incredible strength. Both of these weapons were gifted to her by Oda Nobunaga herself as a symbol of her weapon-bearer status.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Yasuke was a tribal member that was captured by people working in the slave-trade. Yasuke was brought to a particular country that have never seen a person like Yasuke. While these countrymen had fair to tanned-colored skin, Yasuke's was charcoal-black. She was tall and was quite muscular. General and Lord Oda Nobunaga quickly took an interest in her and purchased her from the traders.
Yasuke would spend the next many years of her life working as Oda's retainer, bodyguard, and even received the title of Weapon Bearer. While she was still viewed by many people as a strange oddity, Oda enjoyed interacting with Yasuke and vice-versa. They had a very strong bond with each other.
Later on, during an enemy clan's massive raid against Oda's palace, Yasuke was there alongside the other guards to fight off the attackers. As Oda took her own life, Yasuke and the other guards would continue to fight until they were ultimately captured by the attackers. The rest of Yasuke's life all the way until her death has been lost to the sands of time.
Sometime later in the year 499, just days before the beginning of the 4th Holy Grail War, Yasuke was summoned as a servant. Yasuke would be fighting for the Kingdom of Bukatelia. However, she would soon realize that one of her enemies would be the most unexpected person.
Mental Trauma
Yasuke was forced to witness her lord, Oda Nobunaga, take her own life while being surrounded by attackers around a burning building. This event lingers with Yasuke even after being summoned as a servant.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Yasuke's motivation to even fight in the Holy Grail War is to hopefully gain the wish to reunite herself with Lord Nobunaga. Until that time comes, she must continue to serve her current master, no matter the circumstance.

Virtues & Personality perks
Yasuke is determined, dutiful, and well-disciplined. This allows her to excel on the battlefield as a warrior, for she will fight on until the battle ends one way or another.
Vices & Personality flaws
Due to her trauma of seeing her master die during a fortress assault, she continues to live with a lot of self-doubt. She sees herself as if she doesn't deserve any happiness or love and that she is simply just a tool or weapon to fight with. On top of this, she can come off as emotionally inept, having a lot of trouble showing any personal emotions.
