She's actually canon feasable as a Servant. While her origin story for Archer is ridiculous, her abilities around bodies of water actually are in canon. It's introduced in Hollow Ataraxia when Shirou takes her out to a pool, she reveals that while she never learnt how to swim, she can literally walk on water due to the blessings of the Fae. Furthermore, it's seen in Fate Zero during the fight to destroy Caster, as she runs across the Fuyuki River while trying to avoid Berserker's assault.

As such, the idea of a variant of her to do with her Fae Blessing around bodies of water isn't too unreasonable (combined with in F/HA, she says she fought a demonic Octopus-entity before, and been traumatized by it enough that she refuses to eat Octopus (apparentley it just wouldn't stay dead)).
