Personality: She's a shrewd young girl who mostly acts according to her own sense of logic and humor. She can be a bit of a tease that enjoys making fun of others as also poking at their nerves without any sort of consideration, yet she can be thoughtful enough to know when to stop. She's playful, yet not childish, she loves poking at the nerves of others yet she is considerate of their situations to know when to stop, also she's boastful and prideful yet not arrogant. One can say that she's the epitome of the how the nobility is usually like, at least those with good morals. Aside from those, she's pretty much of a earnest young lady who upholds duty and she's a hardworker that puts a lot of effort than anybody else. She still holds her regal demeanor that anybody can see even when she's not acting like royalty she once was. Her loyalty to the Master depends if they hold the potential to live up to either their ideals or dreams.

History: Formerly known as Justinian Flavius Justinianus I. She was the Byzantine emperor from 527 to 565.
Her reign is marked by the ambitious but only partly realized renovatio imperii or "restoration of the Empire". This ambition was expressed by the partial recovery of the territories of the defunct Western Roman Empire. Her general, Belisarius, swiftly conquered the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa. Subsequently, Belisarius, Narses, and other generals conquered the Ostrogothic Kingdom, restoring Dalmatia, Sicily, Italy, and Rome to the empire after more than half a century of the rule by the Ostrogoths. The praetorian prefect Liberius reclaimed the south of the Iberian peninsula, establishing the province of Spania. These campaigns re-established Roman control over the western Mediterranean, increasing the Empire's annual revenue by over a million solidi. During her reign, Justinian also subdued the Tzani, a people on the east coast of the Black Sea that had never been under Roman rule before. She engaged that Sasanian Empire in the east during Kavad I's reign, and later again during Khosrow I's, this second conflict was partially initiated due to her ambition in the west.
A still more resonant aspect of her legacy was the uniform rewriting of Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is still the basis of civil law in many modern states. Her reign also marked a blossoming of Byzantine culture, and her building program yielded works such as the Hagia Sophia. She is called "Saint Justinian the Emperor" in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Because of her restoration activities, Justinian has sometimes been known as the "Last Roman" in mid-20th century historiography.
In the world of Fate. Both Justinian I and Theodora, the recorded wife of the Emperor, are in fact the same person. The true identity of the Emperor all along is that of Theodora who used the name 'Justinian I' in order to act as the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. Justin I, her uncle and later adoptive father, saw in her an immense potential which led him to adopt Theodora, but since she was a girl, the young Theodora was forced to take up a new identity as Petrus Sabbatius, later as Justinian I after ascending to the throne.
She made up the fact that she married a woman called 'Theodora'(her real name) in order to save up face as the emperor, she even took up Magecraft in order to change her appearance at will and to create a proxy Theodora, which was just an emotionless homonculus. Only a few knew of this secret, Belisarius, her most trusted general, being one of the few.
This is one of the reasons of the why Justinian I could never conceive a child in her reign.

Corpus Juris Civilis: A: The rewriting of the book of the Roman law had manifested into an skill.

Game Effects; Stuns all enemies for 1 turn. Lowers all enemies defenses for 3 turns. Removes all enemies buffs. Decreases all enemies debuff resistance for 3 turns.
Noble Phantasm~
Hagia Sophia~Church of the Sacred Wisdom of God: Anti-Team: EX: The very epitome of Byzantine architecture, said to have changed the history of architecture forever. Once the world's largest building, the focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the principle setting for Byzantine imperial ceremonies and the largest cathedral for millennian. This grand structure that surpassed Solomon's temple was dedicated to God's wisdom, The Logos, The Son, and to Jesus Christ. The Greek Orthodox Christian Patriarchal Cathedral is Justinian's greatest masterpiece and pride to her contributions to Christianity.
The Hagia Sophia, as a Noble Phantasm, has been given form and reproduced through magical energy with a method extremely similar to Reality Marbles. It is yet different from a Reality Marble, which covers the current World with a different World, because instead the Sophia Hagia can overwrite the laws of the world, probablities, casualty, and karma, by an extended periods of times, in other words, using the very Authority of God Almighty since the cathedral is dedicated to him and all Sacred Treasuries were stored in it. Rather than being a materialization of her inner world, this is a High-Thamaturgy on the level of True Magic that only Justinian can perform.
This mighty cathedral is summoned at its prime. Not only is it a gallery of incredible art and architecture. It also serves to hold numerous Holy Relics of Christendom that can be used as individual Noble Phantasms. Including the relics of Christ, it also contains a well and the Weeping Column, both of which are capable of healing. Those that drink from the well are healed of minor wounds and illnesses. The Weeping Column however, staying ever moist, ever damp even in the heat of summer, the moistness is of the tears of the Virgin Mary thus it can heal the most grievous of wounds, diseases, and even magical afflictions. The columns has bronze plates in the lower section and a hole in the middle of one of them. The faithful who seeks healing must put one of their fingers in the hole then rub it to the afflicted area of their bodies. It is said that Justinian had once a terrible headache that was cured by merely leaning on this column.
In legend, this mighty archievement of Byzantine architecture, of Christian faith, was believed to have impriosoned the Devil underneath the cathedral, deep within the crypts of Hagia Sophia. Thus it holds conceptual advantages against demon kind, those who enter are trapped and unable to leave.
The final supernatural treasure of the cathedral is none other than the Emperor's door. It is the largest door in Hagia Sophia and it was said to be made with the wood of Noah's Ark. As Noah and those before him that shared the legend as the sole survivor of a great flood such as Zissudra. The door retains a portion of the Ark's conceptual power. It holds the ability that when opened, by the will of the opener, can summon beasts on the level of Common, Phantasmals, to Divine beasts or Dragon-kind. The greater the beast, the more difficult they're to control, as the mystery they hold exceeds that of the opener.
As a normal Servant, when deployed against enemy Servants they will be weakened by having their parameters lowered by one rank, only those righteous and of Christian faith are immune to this effect. Its attack method is both similar to the Gate of Babylon and Kazikili Bey, by summoning all weaponry to pierce, slash or crush all enemies inside the Noble Phantasm.
If she were to be a Grand Servant, it could hold the authority to block and deny any Beasts Authorities for a for a extended periods of time, but due to Justinian herself not being a Grand Servant she can only do this for a very short period of time, exceeding that timelimit means breaking her Saint Graph to pieces. Even the almighty Potnia Theron, or any other similarities, is not immune to this effect. Game Effects; Deals heavy damage all enemies. Increases own attack for 3 turns. Enhances own Buster and Arts performances for 3 turns. Heals all allies by 3500. Removes all allies debuffs. Lowers all enemies attack and defenses for 5 turns. Buster NP.
Sanctus Lustitia~Sword of the Saints: Anti-Unit: B+: Once belonging to the Apostle Peter who in the defense of christ, drew it from its sheath to slice the right ear of one of the servants of High Priest Caiaphas, named Malchus. Recovered by Saint Joseph of Arimathea who took it to Britain and kept it safe in Glastonbury Abbey until gifted to Saint George. This once unnamed sword that belonged to Peter that would later be used by George has become interwined with the history of its legendary counterpart, Ascalon. The holy energy produced by this sword is enough to take on entire armies by itself, but due to Justinian being summoned as a Caster and not a Saber, she's only capable of using it on individuals, though she's still capable of doing such feats by using a conceptual magecraft that extends the blade into a lenght that can penetrate defenses. It is used as the main weaponry of Justinian in battle.

3: "About my wife? Ooohh! Well, the funny thing is, that I was never really married in my life.

Which... is one of my many regrets... is not having being truly married, thus not conceiving ak heir... In other words I'm still virgin!"
4: "(She had a saddened look on her face)My greatest regret... was not being able to realize my dream... my dream of restoring the empire to its former glory... If... If only I had more time...
