A tidy and pure girl. Simultaneously, a lewd and vicious girl.
Tidy and pure. Lewd and vicious. Both sets are her true images, and either one of them is said to not be a fabrication. It is just that the “impression” many people catch is the former. Medb just earnestly likes lewdness neatly and cleanly, and earnestly performs viciousness purely. She loves fine men. She loves strong men! She will love a man even more if he does not succumb to her! It will be worth the torment for some of them! Absolutely not going against her lust, she made a great number of men her own property during her lifetime. Fergus, the owner of the magic sword Caladbolg, was one of her lovers too. She also loves riches, and for that motive, she caused a great war, took on the whole nation of Ulster as her opponent, and commanded the Connacht troops while driving her chariot.
Because Medb thinks she is the center of the world, she will turn up to a large event even on some occasions where she is not invited. “After all, doesn’t it seem pitiful to not notice such things, even though I spent money on things like these? Nevertheless, do be at peace, for I have arrived now! The center of the world, the chosen leading actress, Queen Medb, the ruler of everything!” Even though this is an action according to a person who craves the limelight, Medb herself is uncontrollable within the vicinity when one considers the good of everybody else nearby.

Queen Medb. The Eternal Lady. The Queen of Connacht who appears in the Ulster Cycle of Celtic Mythology. A girl of affairs who built engagements, marriages, and at times, nothing but sexual relations with kings and brave warriors in great numbers. The ringleader who caused the greatest war of the Ulster Cycle, she was after the life of Cú Chulainn, the brave warrior of Ulster who defied her. It is said that she is even endowed with aspects of discord and conflict as a Divine Spirit that rules over regal powers, evil and insanity.
Even in modern Ireland, there are many sighting cases where people have said “I saw her.” Of course, they are not a kind of joke. Even now in the hearts of people, Queen Medb, as the Eternal Lady, lives on.
Within the case of the Archer class, she has become the embodiment of the 'fierce warrior Queen who razed Ulster', and who 'takes what she wants when she wants it'. As a result, certain traits have been emphasized. The fact she is within the Knight classes certainly doesn't help.

Class Skills:
The ability to materialize independently. Thus, it is possible to take action even without a Master. If the Master is lost (or if the contract is nullified), Medb can probably continue to materialize for around a week.
However, since Archer can efficiently obtain magical energy by application of her personal skills it is theoretically possible to extend this duration indefinitely. In such a case, there must be a conscious effort to conserve magical energy. Even if Archers abilities look flashy, she's ultimately a economical servant.
Also, even if the spiritual core sustains lethal damage, Archer can still survive for some time.

Ability of resistance to magery.
Nullifies spells that have a chant of three verses or below. Receives almost no damage even against Great Magecrafts and Greater Rituals.

Personal Skills:
The main mode of attack for Archer, throwing javelins. At the base level, it is possible to demonstrate the destructive long range firepower expected of the Archer class. However, to the violent Medb, it also acts a means of conveying love.
That is, her affection for the target will guide the javelin and increase both its accuracy and 'weight'. Disregarding normal conventions, it is best to say both Medb's affections and tastes are out of the ordinary. To a target that has earned her interest, her throws may yet seem to home in on them despite desperate evasion attempts.
In other words, it is a skill which enacts the rulers sovereignty upon a target. That which falls under Archers gaze and must be claimed- the nature of her existence as Queen is purely expressed through this wanton violence.
If this affection is pushed to its 'absolute maximum', this accuracy can surpass even special evasion or immunity abilities. Specifically in the case of a certain Dog, even his divine protection from arrows will not save him from a pure maidens punishment.

Medb's voice and breath are endowed with a honey-like sweetness, which allows her to influence the target's stats just by existing.
In the case of animals or humans without protection against magical power, she should be perfectly capable of bending them to her will.
For example, it'd be easy for her to turn a small boy into a brave warrior comparable with a veteran. Conversely, she could also take a hardened warrior and turn them into a child.
She can even freely mess with a Servant's stats if they don't have the means to resist.
A skill similar but different to "Alcoholic Fruit ". It may be resisted by both magical energy or magical resistance. Its enhancement is comparable to the original runes.

An expression of the body of Queen Medb which dominates all of Archers lovers, making them fundamentally 'hers'. In other words, a form of her bodily 'charm', which can take possession of even Heroes. A form of almost-information processing which could resemble the process by which Medb manufactures nameless Heroes from the DNA of great warriors.
Through exchange of bodily fluids, it becomes possible to both capture and grant 'attributes'.
In other words a form of sublimation, not unlike the digestive fluids of a Pitcher plant. Certainly, describing it with a sickly sweet smell is apt.
Taken to its fullest extent, it can also be used in a way not unlike an ascendant form of Synchronization, though perhaps it could be called closer to Empathy. Because of this, the efficiency of mana exchange for Archer is through the roof, at a rate other Servants couldn't possibly ever compete with.
Even the likes of the phantasmal species, the Succubi, should be. . .no, certainly are, jealous.

The Queen of Connacht's voice, endowed with the crystallization of royal authority. Just by simply breathing, it is possible for Medb to take possession of and impose her will on anything she sets her sights on.
This is expressed through the decrees of prohibition and limitation through the concept of Tynged- in other words, a form of Geasa. At face value, it is an idiosyncratic form of curse which affords even physical manifestation- resembling the instant contracts found within mundane magecraft.
Acting as royal decree, it manifests a contract with a willing target which burdens even their spirit.
At its fullest extent this skills strength could be called supreme and unconditional, so long as participation was willing on behalf of the target. Operating upon the principals of Tynged, this alteration of the targets fate(the conditions imposed) increase the targets spiritual power vastly, so long as the conditions imposed are observed. Violation will see the opposite.
This is the embodiment of the Eternal Queen who enacted her absolute will upon all men with but simple words. It is based on certain mythological episodes wherein Medb was the hag whose machinations with Geasa sent the Child of Light to his doom.
Through proper employment of this skill it may also be possible to apply lesser contracts with flexible but weaker fates, even against unwilling targets. However in such a case, the target may diminish the effects with the usual methods of curse resistance.

NOBLE PHANTASMS
Title: My Dear Romantic Wroth
Rank: A+
NP Type: Anti Army~Anti Fortress
Range: 5~40
Maximum Number of Targets: 28 people
Description:
Twenty eight spears which manifest as a crystallization of the Formorian menace known as Clan Calatin. As they are something approximating a living thing, with their employment Archer has reached the level of Archers who can adjust trajectories mid-attack. Because of their quality, they are spears balanced and useful in both melee or long distance throws.
The culmination of both 'Clan Calatin' and her very own nature are put on full display with a true name release. Activated with a single spear toss, it will swiftly become twenty eight spears- which will in turn become 'one' with themselves at the target. It is a strike that firmly scourges whatever it hits, renacting the devastation of Archers Táin Bó Cúailnge.
However, that is not the true nature of this Noble Phantasm, as that is only its manifestation. Its true power is put on display when used alongside other Heroic Spirits.
Archer is fundamentally someone who 'takes others into her possession'. Those who are her lovers, those who hate her, those who desire her, those who admire her. She, who is the Heroine of this world- is the unequivocal center for all. That is what it means to be the 'Eternal Lady'.
Especially if someone is a Hero, it is only natural for them to become the possession of Archer. That is the culmination of her legend and various anecdotes of sovereignty over Heroes.
Because, it's in Medb's nature to be a Queen who brings Heroes together and one-sidedly bends them to her pure and violent will. Those who stand beside her naturally become the Eternal Lady's whip.
When activated alongside allied Noble Phantasms, it will sublimate them into itself as the twenty eight spears separate.
When these spears come together on contact with the target, the effectiveness and destructive force of the Noble Phantasm will increase drastically based on the sublimated Noble Phantasms. Theoretically, it's possible to exceed even the listed rank under proper conditions.
However, the power of this Noble Phantasm only corresponds to A rank when used alone.

Title: My Dear Blessed Mead
Rank: C+
NP Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1~15
Maximum Number of Targets: 1~50
Description:
The meaning of the name Medb is 'she who intoxicates'. Drinking mead is key to the inauguration of the legendary Irish Kings. It is the woman who embodies the land itself that selects the King by offering him an alcoholic drink.
Medb is a Hero who represents the sovereignty Goddess that grants authority to great Kings and Heroes through her intoxication.
It is an ability related to the Queen Mab, who finds their basis in Medb- the blessings of the Fairy Queen who grants greatness to legendary Heroes and Kings from the 'Other side'.
It has become crystallized as a simple golden cup. Within it lies liquor infused with the very concept of the blessings and boons of the land(Ireland) itself. Without a true name release it is possible to bring it forth in a golden-pink torrent, with only a small 'drink' needed to receive its benefits.
In the case of a true name release, only a single target may gain its benefits. Its effect in this case is fundamentally different from normal support Noble Phantasms.
It becomes an 'enhancement' from the Eternal Lady, which is capable of raising the targets spiritual power and rank greatly. Not only that, but buff effects used or already on the target will correspondingly become more efficient. It is a crystallization of the targets 'true value'.
This effect can only be realistically sustained for several turns, and overreaching will result in self-destruction.

_________________________________________________________________
As a Knight class, Medb express' the usual level of fighting competence of the premier classes- both at melee and range. Because Archer is fundamentally deceitful, she is at her strongest when employed with some forethought. She is not an Archer well aligned to super-long range attacks(outside of specific conditions), and is best at medium or short range. Though her parameters are low, she is still very much a Warrior-Queen whose defeated Heroes in duels, and seriously injured the teacher of Fionn in a single blow.
The main limitation for her ranged attacks falls to visibility, a problem to be solved through the employment of nameless soldiers or allies.
Through fire support, nameless soldiers, and various buff and debuff abilities, it becomes possible to support a team of Magi and Servants in various ways. Though it is less efficient, Archer could also simply buff herself and try to smash through the opposition as well.
In the case of her Nameless Soldiers specifically, their quality is a bit higher than those employed under the Rider container. It would be like comparing a mook to an elite mook, if you looked at their base level of abilities.
As an aside, her twenty eight spears may shift their form according to Medb's will, as they are 'living things'.
Buffs may always be resisted.
