Her true name is Ishtar, the Mistress of Heaven and the Goddess of beauty, lust, discord, war, destruction, harvest, love, fertility, and Venus in Sumerian Mythology. She is a great Goddess that possesses many rights and authorities given to her by the Gods of Mesopotamia.

Durability: Large Island level+

Stamina: Virtually limitless

Range: Kilometers with Maanna (Can snipe targets from above the clouds), Interplanetary with warping (Can transport herself to Venus in the Age of Gods)

Standard Equipment:

  • Heavenly Boat Maanna: Ishtar's main weapon, the boat of the gods, soars across the Mesopotamian world. While it's called a boat, it functions as an airship that doubles as an enormous bow. It also serves as a teleportation gate between Earth and Venus, allowing Ishtar to warp to Venus at will. Although her status as a Pseudo-Servant has limited her to only being able to use the warp function when utilizing An Gal Tā Kigal Shē. Its' "Divine Raytribution" (ugh), a beam attack that can encompass all of New York, can turn even most Servants into jewels or sheep.
  • Ishtar's Seven Treasures: Each gives Ishtar powerful effects and abilities. The treasures are as follows: the Charming brooch, the Reed Measuring Rod, the Crystal Accessories, the Lapis Lazuli Necklace, her Noble clothing, and the Crown of the Wilderness, presumably the Shining Crown she wears that contains her Divine Authorities. It's unknown if Ishtar has all these treasures when summoned as a Pseudo-Servant.
  • Seven-Headed Warhammer Sita: One of Ishtar's primary weapons in Sumerian Mythology, a mace with a seven-head snake's appearance. It's a powerful weapon of destruction that Inanna used to strike down other Goddesses in battle and use her Authorities. Ishtar does not possess this weapon when summoned as a Pseudo-Servant.

Intelligence: Ishtar is an ancient and powerful goddess of great intellect known for her stubborn nature, pride, and great willpower in the face of adversity. One of her most famous feats was her deed of invading and annihilating the sacred mountain, Ebih, in a contest of brute force simply due to her anger and the prospect of its riches. Another tale has her tricking the Abyssal God Enki into getting drunk and giving her all his divinity and treasures. Despite her intelligence, she is known for her violent and spiteful rebukes when she does not get her way, nearly destroying Uruk when Gilgamesh rejects her. Her host's influence has kept her cruelty in check, and she has become more rational than she would normally be. Nonetheless, Ishtar remains rather proud and arrogant, overestimating her own influence.

Weaknesses: Ishtar is rather prideful, arrogant, and stubborn. Due to the influence of her host, she is also prone to mess up at crucial times due to carelessness. She cannot utilize her warp function unless she is utilizing An Gal Tā Kigal Shē. Ishtar can't show off the total control of her divine energy and use it to boost the attack strength of her weapons because of her host body, so she's confined to utilizing it on jewels that take 30 seconds to charge. She cannot use Gugalanna strike because her alternate self summons it in Fate/Strange Fake. Her Manifestation of Beauty skill has lost most of its powers due to her host body. Ishtar is just barely able to utilize her Authority as a Pseudo-Servant. When using them, she harms and strains herself. Ishtar does not have access to all her treasures or her Seven Headed-Warhammer as a Pseudo-Servant.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Authority: As a Goddess, Ishtar possess Divine Authorities, special powers distinct from Code Casts, Noble Phantasms, and Skills in that while they achieve outcomes based on some logical process or principle, an Authority realizes a result simply because the user has the right to do so. Authorities are powers on the level of world construction. They can be powers such as event shifting, time manipulation, causality manipulation, kingdom-building, and other capabilities. The Gods originally used their Authorities during the Age of Gods to shape the world, build kingdoms, and advance civilization. But as time went on, humanity progressed to the point that Authorities became unnecessary. When summoned as a Servant, Ishtar cannot utilize her Authorities without harming and straining herself. Furthermore, her Authority as a Pseudo-Servant is far weaker than her normal self, only barely being able to use her Authorities. Ishtar possesses seven Divine Authorities, and she also can take the Authorities of other Gods and Goddesses. Her known Authorities are:

  • Authority over Venus: As a Goddess of Venus, Ishtar has management rights over it, allowing her to take its concepts and create a copy that she can fire as a conceptual planet when using An Gal Tā Kigal Shē.
  • Authority over the Harvest: As a Goddess of Harvest, Ishtar has power over the Earth's fertility in Mesopotamia. She is able to cause famine over the entirety of the mortal realm in Mesopotamia or cause bountiful harvests. She can also use this Authority to control floodwaters and tides.
  • Authority over the Bull of Heaven: Ishtar has control over the greatest and strongest Divine Beast of Sumer, the Bull of Heaven, Gugalanna. The Bull of Heaven's known capabilities includes controlling storms that may exceed 800 kilometers in diameter, releasing immense heat that can dry up the Tigris River, and cause floods.
  • Other unknown Authorities: Ishtar possesses other Authorities that allows her to cause sandstorms and create hordes of locusts. She is also mentioned to have the original Earth Mother Goddess's power of creation.
  • Regression to the Age of Gods: The ability to perform mysteries dating back to the Age of Gods before the existence of True Magic. Ishtar can use it to temporarily regain some of her original godly power, allowing her to be as powerful as possible in her current Saint Graph. Upon regressing to the Age of Gods, Ishtar gains gold accessories and black tattoos.

Noble Phantasm

Here we go, Maanna! Gate open!... Fufu, think of it as an honor. This is my full throttle...!
Be crushed to pieces, An Gal Tā Kigal Shē!!

~ Ishtar activating her Noble Phantasm

An Gal Tā Kigal Shē: Mountain Range-Shaking Firewood of Venus: Also known as the Jabal Hamrin Breaker, it is the reproduction of the most “devastating” and “atrocious” deed that Ishtar carried out in Sumerian mythology. It's from the anecdote where she trampled down and annihilated the Sacred Mountain Ebih (Which even the King of the Gods feared and respected) simply due to her dislike of it. According to legend, Ishtar pushed her way through Mount Ebih, increasing her heavenly power with each step, until she reached the peak and destroyed the leyline with her spear, causing the entire mountain range to collapse. Based on that anecdote, she replicates her feat, which the Gods feared. First, she activates Maanna's warp function to send herself to Venus in outer space during the Age of Gods. She acquires its concept via management rights and creates a replica of the conceptual planet, which she loads and discharges from Maanna's magazine as an incredibly powerful bullet. After firing the shot towards Earth's surface, Ishtar utilizes displacement magecraft to warp it into the modern era's airspace. Upon impact, it can destroy the mountain range that was a nuisance to the Earth and Venus.

Gugalanna Strike: Bull of Heaven: A Noble Phantasm that allows her to temporarily summon the Bull of Heaven, the greatest and strongest Divine Beast of Sumer. When releasing its True Name, there are words being spoken similarly to those expressed when utilizing a portion of the Authority possessed by the (original) source of the goddess Ishtar. Once summoned, the Bull of Heaven appears in the sky and pulverizes everything below it with its hoof, causing massive destruction similar to a meteor strike. Its large golden hoof crushes everything in the space between the sky and the ground. Anyone except Ishtar caught in the attack suffers massive damage and has their parameters temporarily ranked down. The Bull of Heaven is not required to be physically materialized; as such, it's possible to utilize the Noble Phantasm within confined spaces without destroying any structures.

Ishtar is unable to utilize it in Fate/Grand Order due to her incarnation in Fate/Strange Fake summoning it instead.

Class Skills

Goddesses Divine Core: A skill that denotes Ishtar as a perfected goddess from birth, it preserves the absoluteness of her mind and body, repelling all mental interference while preventing her body from aging or changing no matter how many calories she consumes. It's a composite skill that also includes divinity allowing her to reduce "Anti-Purge defense" in proportion to the rank of her Divinity, allowing her to break through defensive abilities such as Protection of the Faith and Saver's Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig. Due to her status as Pseudo-Servant it is only at B-rank.

Independent Action: The ability to remain independent and exist in the world without the magical energy supplied by a Master, allowing the Servant to act autonomously and the Master to save their own magical energy for spells. Ishtar's A-rank enables her to work without a Master except when it comes to high-cost Noble Phantasms, and she can remain in the world for a week without a Master.

Magic Resistance: An innate ability that grants protection against magical effects. Unlike the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Ishtar boasts a stellar A-Rank in this ability as a Goddess, allowing her to nullify virtually any magecraft known to the modern age, with only mighty spells from the Age of Gods being powerful enough to affect her.

Personal Skills

Shining Great Crown: A skill that imitates Authorities and represents her Shining Great Crown which contains all her Authorities. When activated, it brings out various different effects.

Mana Burst (Jewel): An ability that allows her to increase her attack power by adding excessive magical energy to her weapons. Originally, Ishtar had complete mastery over her divine energy, which was considered almighty. Still, due to the influence of her vessel, she became unable to accumulate magical power on anything but jewels for some reason. Despite being a powerful damage amplification skill, the necessary process of charging the gems before shooting them makes the skill somewhat tricky to use due to the 30-second charge time.

Manifestation of Beauty: Due to her nature as a Goddess of Beauty, Ishtar possesses a powerful, charismatic character that allows her to captivate others. It was originally a composite skill that consisted of abilities such as curses and skill sealing while having a powerful seduction effect at its core. However, her vessel has removed those abilities, leading to the skill turning into a simple Charisma skill while reducing the rank from EX to B.
