Talk:Artoria Pendragon (Alter)/@comment-37515341-20191116172829/@comment-35539022-20200201180235

From what I understand, she's Man trait because "Artoria became her Alter" through her actions as a human being. Man means a heroic spirit earned their place in the throne through deeds they did as humans while alive, while Earth is for spirits who lived fantastical legends that tie directly to who they are.

OG Artoria is tied to those legends, pulling Excalibur from the stone of selection, blessed by the fair of the lake, led the almighty round table, etc. Yes Alter is still the same Artoria, but down a different path. She is the Artoria who ruled ruthlessly and almost tyrannically with her power, no different from any other human tyrant hence that part of her history ties her to the Man trait, it was her own actions and not her legends that turned her into who she is.
