Sima Yi (Reines)

A military general and politician of the Three Kingdoms who was posthumously given the title of emperor.

...Or that's who she's supposed to be. Just like her rival and fellow tactician, she has manifested by using a certain mage girl's body as a vessel.

"While it is logical to yield one's consciousness to the vessel in order to operate here in the modern world... Aren't you being a little TOO logical?"

Height/Weight: 149cm, 42kg

Origin: Romance of the Three Kingdoms, etc.

Region: China

Alignment: Neutral-Balanced

Sub-Attribute: Human

Gender: Female

Height, weight, and gender are obviously all the vessel's stats.

The girl who acts as the vessel, Reines, is the original Lord of the El-Melloi family, one of the twelve families that operate the Mage's Association.

Under normal circumstances, she would have succeeded the previous holder of the Lord title. However, considering her age and the ensuing power struggle...as well as for Reines's own personal amusement, she transferred her position to Lord El-Melloi II. She has since taken to playing the mastermind in the background.

Upon becoming a Pseudo-Servant, Sima Yi left all operations in the modern world to the vessel, much like Zhuge Liang. However, unlike Zhuge Liang, who is more open-minded and rational, Sima Yi often rises to the surface.

Emperor Xuan's Command: A

A variation of the "Tactician's Command" skill given to Servants who were master tacticians. As Sima Yi was a usurper of authority, and because he was posthumously awarded the title of Ancestral Emperor Xuan of the Jin dynasty, the tactician and emperor skills have fused together.

Supreme Mystic Code, Volumen Hydrargyrum: B

One of the supreme Mystic Codes from the El-Melloi family of the Clock Tower's twelve houses. Expandable and elastic, it can transform into a powerful sword or impregnable armor capable of reinforcing its wearer's abilities. It can even turn into a maid composed of mercury if necessary. This ability originates from Reines, not Sima Yi. Her precise command of Volumen Hydrargyrum is said to exceed even her predecessor's. It is thanks to this Code that her STR is boosted up to B Rank.

『Unspoken Formation』

Rank: B++

NP Type: Anti-Formation

Range: 1 - 50

Maximum Targets: 500

Its proper name is the "Formation of Primordial Chaos". It is not in Sima Yi's nature to come up with cunning strategies. Whether it be during war or a power struggle, Sima Yi will position forces cleverly, will wait patiently, will win naturally, and will mutter some poetry that they detest while looking sullen.

When the illusory sun and moon appear from the horizon, the opponents will lose all advantage and instead have their hidden weaknesses exposed. As long as proper conditions align, such as if it is someone they have already defeated, or if the opponent's data has already been collected, this Noble Phantasm becomes a devastating strategy that creates weaknesses in the user's opponents.

Sima Yi was summoned as a result of Zhuge Liang having been summoned into Lord El-Melloi II. A sort of chain summoning, in essence... With the backing of Zhuge Liang's Noble Phantasm Chu Shi Biao, "Dispatch Troops," the chain summoning selected Sima Yi, who had ties to Zhuge Liang, and Reines, who had ties to El-Melloi II.

This is what brought Reines to Chaldea, and since she was the de facto Lord of the Clock Tower given a tremendous responsibility of her own, she is quite sympathetic to Master, who suddenly had the burden of being humanity's last Master thrust upon them. She typically enjoys Master's predicament, but when things are at their worst, Sima Yi's abilities are sure to make her a truly powerful ally.
