CHARACTER INFO
......I see.
I have been summoned, then... huh.... (sigh)
You should know to use the right tool for the task.

BOND 1
Height: 168cm
Weight: 58kg
Origin: One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights)
Region: Persia
Alignment: Lawful Balanced
Gender: Female
There is no one other than herself, who knows all the truths of "her own tale".
BOND 2
"A Thousand and One Nights", a collection of stories structured with embedded narratives.
In that outer-most frame story, Scheherazade fulfills the role as the narrator.
Whether the "Scheherazade" that is here is a character from the stories, or the actual person who served as the character's model―――no one can be sure.
BOND 3
King Shahryar had repeated a cycle of killing maidens he married every night.
In order to stop that evil act, the vizier's daughter, Scheherazade, offered herself up for marriage.
As Scheherazade spent her first night with the king, a plan was set where her invited sister, Dunyazade, would beg her to tell a story.
The King would listen to Scheherazade's narrated stories which Dunyazade spoke of with fascination, and plead for her to continue but, by then dawn had already arrived.
Scheherazade announced "Please hold onto that excitement for tomorrow's story".
For that purpose, the King continued to let Scheherazade live so that he could listen to her stories, and eventually―――
......the approximately thousand stories that have been read until now, its vast majority was added by preceding translators.
One theory surmises that the original number tales which formed the core were no more than two-hundred and ten stories, with no conclusion to them.
BOND 4
"A Thousand and One Nights"
Rank: EX, Anti-King Noble Phantasm
Alfu Laylatin wa-Laylah.
From its origin, it carries a special trait against the King attribute.
Even if they are not strictly a King, as long as they are of similar existence, there are cases where they are deemed equivalent to what she regards as "King".
This is a Reality Marble that is defined by "her narrated tales".
From the world's belief of the impressive and realistic narrations, that "tale" is able to materialize.
Summoning and giving form to characters, tools, spirits, and the like that appeared within A Thousand and One Nights.
Historically, things that did not exist in the actual A Thousand and One Nights, preceding works, the absorbed tale of Aladdin, and the episodes of Alibaba etc., can be used due to their benefits for her existence as a Heroic Spirit. What's most important is not their validity. It is whether the King can be entertained or not.
Naturally at the end of the tale (Noble Phantasm), it can be concluded like this.
"―――and such, was this story."
BOND 5
Storyteller/Narrator: EX
A skill that displays one's amazing eloquence with verbally narrating tales and legends.
It is completely different from the written craft of literature, and adapts to the mood and mental state of the listener, a storytelling ability specialized in improvisation.
It is likely that a Rakugo storyteller Heroic Spirit also carries this skill.
Counter-Hero: A
Her skill is limited to only "Kings".
That is also why it achieved A Rank.
In her case, especially with those that display their "presence through the attachment of King to their names", she can comprehend the King's mood, personality, abilities, principles, physical condition etc.,
and by utilizing various forms of coaxing, even with the most whimsical of Kings, at the very least, she can conduct herself from being killed.

CHARACTER INFO
……そうですか。
喚ばれて、しまいましたか……ふぅ……(溜め息)。
適材適所、はご存じの筈。
戦場よりは、あなたのお部屋で──。
BOND 1
身長/体重:168cm・58kg
出典:千夜一夜物語(アラビアンナイト)
地域:ペルシア
属性:秩序・中庸
性別:女性
『彼女自身の物語』の全てを真に知る者は、彼女以外にはいない。
BOND 2
入れ子構造の説話集である『千夜一夜物語』。
その最外枠の物語において語り手の役割を果たすのがシェヘラザードである。
ここにいる『彼女』が物語の登場人物であるのか、
それともそのモデルとなった実在の人物であるかは―――定かではない。
BOND 3
シャフリヤール王は処女と結婚しては一晩で殺すという事を繰り返していた。
大臣の娘であったシェヘラザードはその悪行を止めるために自ら王と結婚する。
シェヘラザードは王と一夜を共にした後、
呼び寄せていた妹ドニアザードが話をせがんでくるよう計画していた。 王はシェヘラザードがドニアザードに語った話を気に入り、続きを求めるが、
夜が明けてしまった。シェヘラザードは
「明日のお話はもっと心躍りましょう」と告げる。
このため王はシェヘラザードの物語の続きを聞くために彼女を生かし続け、そして―――
……現在まで読まれている千近くの物語は、その大部分が後世の訳者たちの手によって付け加えられたものである。一説には、核となった最初期の説話数は二百数十話程度しかなく、結末も存在していなかったとされる。
BOND 4
『千夜一夜物語』
ランク:EX 種別:対王宝具
アルフ・ライラ・ワ・ライラ。
由来から、王属性特攻を持つ。
厳密にはそうでなくとも、類する存在であれば、
彼女の中では「王」と見做されている場合がある。
これは「彼女の語る物語」という固有結界である。
世界が信じるほどの圧倒的な存在感・現実感で語る事により、その「物語」を具現化させる。
千夜一夜物語内の登場人物や、道具や、
精霊などを召喚する形となる。
本来の(歴史的には正当な千夜一夜物語には存在せず、
後世の創作・吸収されたとされるアラジン・アリババなどのエピソードも、英霊としての彼女の生存には有用なので使用できる。重要なのは正しさではない。王が面白がるかどうかだ。
物語(宝具)の最後は当然、こう締めくくられる。
「―――という、お話だったのです」
BOND 5
○語り手:EX
物語や伝説をいかに上手に口で語れるかを示すスキル。
書物に物語を書き記すような技術とはまったく別の、聞き手の気分や精神状態も加味して適切な語り口を選ぶ、即興性に特化した物語伝達能力。
おそらく落語家の英霊も持っている。
○対英雄:A
彼女のこのスキルは「対王」に限定されている。
それゆえにAランクを得ている。
彼女の場合、特に「王と名がつく存在に対する生存力」を示すものとなっており、王の機嫌、性格、能力、主義、体調などを把握し、あらゆる手練手管を用いることで、どれだけ気紛れな王相手であっても、
少なくとも殺されることはないように立ち回る事が出来る。
???
現在読まれている『千夜一夜物語』の結末の中には、
「最終的にシェヘラザードは三人の子をもうけ、王は寛容を身につけたのであった」という形で締められているものがある。
前述の通り、これは元々の話にはなかった結末、
ここにいる『彼女』が体験したものではない可能性が高い。
なのにこれが今、まことしやかに語られているということは―――
幻想の都市を砕く虹の中、在ったものと同じく。
誰かが、願ったのだろう。
彼女以外の誰かが―――彼女自身の、救いのかたちを。
