Kingprotea

The Alter Ego of yearning.

Formerly sealed away as waste at the edge of Void Space, she is a High Servant who was extracted and recreated within the Abyssal Cyber City, SE.RA.PH, just like her fellow Alter Egos Meltryllis and Passionlip. This Alter Ego is a giant capable of growing infinitely, and has the highest output of the entire Sakura series.

Alter Egos are typically an amalgam of several goddesses, and Protea is no exception; she is composed of the essence of the archetypal mother goddess that most mythologies have in common. This even includes Tiamat, the grand mother of ancient Mesopotamia.

"...Please embrace me. Hold me. Touch me. Because I am...(very) fluffy."

She may not have much to say, and most of the time she sounds unsure of herself, but at times she talks in a commanding tone.

One of the Sakura Five, a cyber lifeform born from BB's excessive and clingy emotions. As demonstrated by her massive physique, she possesses a giant Spirit Origin and terrifying ego that grows infinitely. Had she simply been left to her own devices, she would have become a cosmos-level catastrophe, so BB sealed her away in the bottom of Void Space.

The original Kingprotea was an innocent girl craving love, but when she was unleashed in the Abyssal Cyber City, SE.RA.PH, she gained a developing intellect, likely because of the person who replicated SE.RA.PH. She has the mental age of a fourteen-year-old, and is the epitome of a shy, frail girl. However, because she is hungry for love, she is aggressive even while acting innocent, and is very touchy-feely. It's like she gives off the vibe of a shy rabbit, but in actuality she's like a very friendly big dog.

She is not combative, but that doesn't mean she either hates or fears battle. Should she go into battle, she won't hesitate to annihilate her targets no matter how weak or low level the target is, and she will feel no pain in doing so. Fortunately (or unfortunately) Protea is not aware that she is a brutal goddess of destruction.

『Airāvata, King Sized』

Rank: E

NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Range: 100

The Giant Shadow That Emerges from the Sea of Life.

A Noble Phantasm that is based off the story of Samudra Manthana in Indian mythology. In the myth, it is said that the gods sought the nectar of immortality, the Amrita, in order to survive on the desolate surface land. To create the Amrita, the ocean of milk (Kshirasāgara) surrounding the world needed to be churned. The gods formed an alliance with their enemy Asuras, and began churning the ocean of milk, using Mount Mandara as the axis, and created many life-forms and elixirs. Airāvata is the name of one of the giant elephants that was created from the ocean of milk during that process.

The Kingprotea that has been summoned for a limited time in Chaldea is perpetually suppressed. This is due to the world's repressive power, set by the limitations of the physical world, which do not exist in the cyber world.

This Noble Phantasm is a reality marble that temporarily throws off this suppression to allow Protea to revert to her true size. Protea, as a giant so large that no normal human can see her entirely, flails her arms and legs to annihilate the enemy. In the original, she herself was treated as a Noble Phantasm, but she was able to manifest her own Noble Phantasm in the cyber world in exchange for her Spirit Origin's rank decreasing.

Introverted, active.

A ditzy girl. No one is really sure what she's thinking. She's constantly hungry for love, and so she is a glutton who would devour everything around her.

Her personality is closest to her sister Passionlip (withdrawn, timid when outside her comfort zone), but since she has no sense of shame, she may appear forward or pushy. Though she may say little, she is like a big dog seeking communication and physical contact. Approaching her is like walking towards a bird that one thinks small and cute, only to realize the little bird is absolutely massive on getting closer...

Basically she is like a loyal giant robot...er, an obedient Servant. Since she craves love, wishes to be chosen, and wants to be treated kindly by others, she seeks interaction from Master subtly and silently.

Her dream is to become a cute bride. The terms "cute" and "bride" aren't mutually exclusive to her. Rather, she thinks that cuteness is a given when one becomes a bride. It's strange to think that she doesn't associate cuteness with maintaining normal human size...

Huge Scale: C

An id_es skill, born from her desire for growth, based on the Self-Modification skill. It enables her to scale up infinitely. When she reaches maximum level, her specs are increased to enable further level cap growth. This can be repeated infinitely, and is also called infinite growth. She is a cosmically massive catastrophe capable of destroying planets, but the larger she grows, the more she loses her intellect and complex function. Thus, her normal intellectual form would self-destruct from the inability to tolerate this skill.

This skill used to be a nonstandard rank EX, but its rank has downgraded since Chaldea's summoning system was unable to replicate it. Growth begins the moment it is used, and the value caps that are increased are permanent until Infantile Regression is used.

Infantile Regression: C

The shackle BB placed upon Kingprotea. A safety device put in place to restrain her infinite growth. It returns her to her original size and stats, and resets her enlarged ego. When this skill is used, the growth from Huge Scale is reset to zero, though she gains NP corresponding with the growth stage she had reached.

Field Pulverization: A

When that giant Spirit Origin is used to its fullest to attack, it not only smashes the enemy unit, but the entire field is considered to be the target. Even spells cast in the spatial realm are pulverized by her punch. Really, this skill aims to resolve everything with her fists. However, as Protea gained a heart, she has sealed this skill.

The Alter Ego of yearning.

When Kiara's SE.RA.PH evolved within the Abyssal Cyber City, she was recreated as something that accompanied SE.RA.PH.

(*Kiara deliberately extracted Meltryllis and Passionlip to use and synchronize with herself, while Kingprotea's recreation was not something Kiara intended.)

Under normal circumstances, she would never have been found, and would have vanished like a bubble along with SE.RA.PH Kiara without ever meeting a single soul.

But since becoming a Servant, she waits for Master's orders...or rather, she grows to love receiving orders. This is because she has no self-confidence, and so she takes joy in believing that being ordered around is the same as being loved. Protea is constantly ashamed of herself, since she is aware that she is a waste byproduct.

She has no interest in the outside world nor other humans, and simply seeks for Master's love. Calling it an innocent advance or blind devotion sounds nice and all, but in reality, it's a dangerous relationship, like walking a tightrope. Protea does not love Master because she has feelings for them, but simply because Master loves her, which shows that Protea only knows love without understanding true feelings of endearment and closeness. Should Master's affection run out, she will cease to feel love, and she will quickly become unsatisfied. Should that ever happen, Protea won't be able to endure her thirst for love, and will devour Master.

Ultimately, Protea is just like any of the other Alter Egos, born with a twisted sense of self. She will obediently follow Master's orders, but her submission is not total. In order for that to happen, Masters who form a contract with Kingprotea will need to further develop her mental state and essence as a being. This is also necessary for Masters to be able to escape Protea's inexhaustible, deep yearning. She will need to learn that her incessant coveting only devours and exhausts her targets, and that a healthy relationship means both parties partake of mutual love for one another.
