CHARACTER INFO
Sei Shounagon's father was Kiyohara-no-Motosuke, one of the scholars of the Five Men of the Pear Chamber who helped to compile the kun-doku (the Japanese reading of Chinese characters) version of the "Manyoshu" waka poem anthology.
She was a woman of outstanding intellect whose forward behavior (some would say "unorthodox") made her stand out in the male-dominated society of her lifetime.
She faithfully served Empress Teishi, consort of Emperor Ichijou, until the Empress's death. The many prose writings Sei Shounagon wrote in offering to Empress Teishi were later collected to become "Makura-no-Soushi." (The Pillow Book)

PROFILE 2
An author and poet of Japan's Heian period, she immersed herself in Chinese classics poetry (which were studied exclusively by males at the time). Many tales tell of her arguing down men with her vast knowledge, making her one of the more unconventional female figures of her time. Even in excerpts from "The Diary of Lady Murasaki," it's clear that Murasaki Shikibu saw Sei Shounagon as a force to be reckoned with.
She served as a lady-in-waiting to Consort Teishi during the latter half of her twenties. The young Teishi was very affectionate to Shounagon, even though Shounagon was significantly older, and Shounagon reciprocated by loyally serving the beautiful, intelligent consort.
While in court, Shounagon recorded her own observations and musings on court life, and these were later gathered into a collection. This is considered Japan's first essay anthology, "The Pillow Book."
PROFILE 3
As soon as you think she’s always running around having a blast in a great mood, you notice that there are times where she suddenly feels down.
Similar to a cat she can be fickle to her surroundings, however, for the most part she focuses on having fun more than anything else. She’s a party girl servant.
Sei Shōnagon was a girl that was ahead of the times and lit up her surroundings while musing about her love for the beauty of things around her.
Though there is the question of where exactly her poet-like appearance has gone to, in her case due to having such a strong connection with the culture of today’s young people she ended up
being summoned in her current appearance.
As there is the historical fact that when she was within Teishi’s inner circle she was concerned about her age, her current appearance as a high school girl isn't that unexpected.
She gets along with the Murasaki Shikibu in Chaldea. (According to Sei Shōnagon personally)

○Song of the Poet: B
Though being part of the “Thirty-Six Heian-era Immortals”, “Thirty-Six Female Immortals of Poetry”, and having appeared within “Ogura Hyakunin Isshu”, she continues to tell herself and everyone around her
that she finds it difficult to write poetry.
It could be said that there wasn’t much compatibility between age-old conventions and her way of life which was too early for her time.
Even still, the verses she composes at times would raise the spirits of people, while scaring away unruly men at others.
○Afusaka no Seki: A
Hangu Pass may open with singing birds,
However, the gate of love is not so simple.
This unconquerable Afusaka-no-seki,
First of all to get through it, unsurprisingly…
○Starry Skies: B
As the night grows in darkness, the stars shine ever so bright.
Subaru, Hikoboshi, Taihakusei, Nagareboshi...
The power she unleashes is full of radiance like the stars.
PROFILE 5
『The Pillow Book: Annotated』
Rank: D＋＋
Type: Poetic Noble Phantasm
Range: 1~20
Maximum Targets: 50
Neither onmyōji abilities nor martial arts. Rather this Noble Phantasm is the end result of her just writing away.
Letting herself overflow with emotion and creation, the Noble Phantasm is the materialization of the world she created within “The Pillow Book” brought into reality.
In other words, a reality marble.
The world rewritten by her holds this feeling at its core “The view of something nostalgic that I saw once upon a time.”.
From this, the souls of enemies that become trapped within the reality marble will slowly be eaten away at. Sadness, nostalgia, sympathy… The overwhelming burst of emotions makes their hearts fall into chaos if they are to forget about the battle for even a glancing moment.
Even if they were to be released from the girl who is in full control of this domain, they would suffer a devastating(ridiculous) attack without even attempting to dodge it.
Furthermore, “The Pillow Book: Annotated” is the title of an annotation of the original “The Pillow Book” brought to life by the writer Kigin Kitamura during the Edo period.
Though this may be, her own work filled with her thoughts and feelings overcame the passing of time. Becoming loved by generations to come, this ended up being an unexpected lucky thing for her.
The title of the annotation became a symbol connecting the past to the future.
As the title for the annotation extracted one of her most important lines “Haru-wa akebono” she manifested her Noble Phantasm as “The Pillow Book: Annotated” since this perfectly expressed it.
PROFILE 6: Clear Interlude: Complete Valentine 2020 - Wonderful Valentine main quest
Under normal circumstances, Sei Shounagon would not have been registered into the Throne of Heroes as a Servant. When she completed writing "The Pillow Book," she gracefully departed court life. Discarding both love and resentment of her previous lifestyle, she continued to live the rest of her life carrying the one hopeful star within her heart as she looked back at her incredible past life. Closing that door also meant that her star's light went out, and she did not have the means of becoming a guardiant of humanity. However, due to an irregular summoning caused by a certain incident, Sei Shounagon was given another chance. Through the many connections she formed with the people she trusted an the many things she experienced, the long-dormant poet within her awoke, creating new possibilities within her that ultimately resulted in her being inscribed upon the Throne of Heroes. And so it became possible to summon her. Even should they never have experienced those wild times with her, Sei Shounagon surely anticipates the day she can finally reunite with them.

PROFILE 2
平安期の作家・歌人。
男性が学ぶものとされていた漢文・漢詩に親しみ、その豊富な知識をもって男性達をやり込めるなど、当時の女性としては型破りであった逸話を数々残す。
かの『紫式部日記』においても、紫式部が相当に彼女を意識していた事が読み取れる。
中宮定子の女房として仕え始めたのは20代後半の頃。
若き定子はひと回りも歳の離れた少納言を寵愛し、少納言もまた、美しく聡明な定子の期待に応え続けた。
彼女はそんな宮廷での暮らしを面白おかしく書き綴り、散文の数々は後に随筆集としてまとめられる事となる。
これが日本初のエッセイ、『枕草子』である。
PROFILE 3
何が楽しいのかいつも上機嫌……かと思いきや、すぐにふて腐れたりする。
猫のような気まぐれで周囲を振り回すが、基本的には楽しい事を最優先する新感覚パリピ系サーヴァント。
「をかし（エモい）」をこよなく愛する、時代が早すぎたキラキラ女子。
歌人の風格をどこに置いてきたのかという変わり様ではあるが、彼女の場合、現代の若者文化との親和性が高すぎた結果なのだろう。
定子サロンにおいて年齢を気にしていたという歴史的事実からも、女子高生の姿で召喚に応じた事には、何ら不自然な点はないのである。
カルデアにおける紫式部との仲は良好（本人談）。

○歌仙の詩歌：Ｂ
中古三十六歌仙、女房三十六歌仙に名を連ね、小倉百人一首に歌を採られながらも、清少納言は和歌を不得手と自嘲する。
苦手意識もあるだろうが、古色蒼然としたルールが彼女の新しい感性と相性が悪かったともいえるだろう。
それでも彼女の詠む歌は時に人々の心を打ち、時に不埒な男達を堂々と退けたのである。
○逢坂の関：Ａ
函谷関は鶏の声で開けども、恋の関所はそう簡単に開かない。
難攻不落のこの逢坂の関、最初に通り抜けるのは、はたして――。
○星はすばる：Ｂ
夜の闇が深いほどに、星の光は輝きを増す。
すばる星、彦星、太白星、流れ星――。
そしてまた、彼女が放つ光も星のように。

『枕草子・春曙抄』
ランク：Ｄ＋＋
種別：詩歌宝具
レンジ：１～２０
最大捕捉：５０人
エモーショナルエンジン・フルドライブ。
武芸や陰陽の術ではなく、ただ書き綴る事だけで辿り着いたひとつの境地。
感情の泉の湧き出すに任せ、自著『枕草子』の内に構築した心象風景を現実世界へと具現化させたもの。
すなわち――固有結界である。
清少納言によって塗り替えられた世界は、『いつか、どこかで見た懐かしい風景』となって、結界内に取り込まれた相手の心に侵食する。
哀愁、ノスタルジィ、いとあはれ――
湧き上がってくる強い感情に心をかき乱され、ほんの一瞬でも戦いを忘れてしまったのなら。
この場を支配した彼女から放たれる、強烈（で理不尽）な攻撃を避けられはしないだろう。
なお、『枕草子春曙抄』は北村季吟により江戸時代に制作された注釈書のタイトルではあるが、自著にこめた想いが時を越え、後の世においても人々に愛されていた事は清少納言にとって僥倖であった。
彼女は『春曙抄』を過去と未来を繋ぐ象徴の言葉とし、また、春はあけぼの（春曙）の段を抜き出した（抄）かのような自身の宝具を見事表現した言葉として、自ら宝具名を『枕草子・春曙抄』へと昇華させている。

PROFILE 2
An author and poet of the Heian period (794 - 1185) in Japan.
Being an oddity during this period in Japan, Sei Shōnagon was well versed in reading Chinese characters and the world of Chinese poetry.
There are many stories passed down through the ages of her using her vast knowledge to go head to head with the men of the time in debates and intellectual discussions.
For a woman of this time, she was clearly not run-of-the-mill.
From "The Diary of Lady Murasaki Shikibu” we can see how Murasaki Shikibu clearly kept the existence of Sei Shōnagon in her mind.
As a lady of the court she began to serve Teishi in the later part of her 20s.
The young Teishi came to deeply care for Sei Shōnagon and in return she loyally served the beautiful and bright Teishi, without betraying any of her expectations.
She would enthusiastically write about the going ons of the royal court where she lived,
later these writings were compiled into a Zuihitsu book.
This would turn out to be Japan’s first collection of essays “The Pillow Book”.
