Lancelot

Lancelot is one of the new characters of New Sakura Wars. She is a member of the London Combat Revue's Knight of the Rounds Table division known as the Dark Knight.

Appearance
Lancelot is a young English woman with brown hair tied up in a ponytail and icy blue eyes. She is seen wearing the London Combat Revue uniform which is black and white.

Personality
Lancelot is energetic, bright, and cheerful, and never thinks about anything too deeply. She also has a self-taught air of fierceness behind her natural simple-mindedness, thus the type to always take action first.

Background
Not much is known about Lancelot other that she became the youngest marauding member of the London Combat Revue's Knights of the Round Table. A female dual swordsman of dauntless courage and belligerence, Lancelot made herself known with her sword-wielding abilities with many nicknaming her the “Dark Knight” to match her spiritual uniform.

Episode 1 : The Curtain Rises! The New Combat Revue!
In 1941, a year after Genan's defeat, Lancelot, along with Elise of the Berlin Combat Revue and Seijuro Kamiyama of the Imperial Combat Revue, were sent on a mission in Russia to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the Moscow Combat Revue. All three arrive on a train to secure Klara M. Ruzhkova, the only member of the Moscow Combat Revue to have survived the Revue's dowfall. They confront two individuals, a white-caped woman and a black-winged demon, who are both after Klara. Lancelot asks Elise which of the two individuals is the bigger threat but Elise says that it doesn't matter and that neither concern them as long as they release the girl. After Lancelot suggests White Cape to release Klara, the woman did so before leaving the scene. She then wonders what to do with the black-winged demon but the beast attacks, still insisting on retrieving Klara. After a small scuffle, Lancelot tells the demon to make things easy for itself and to come with them as she might have more answers for them. Instead, the demon flew away in the dark night. Lancelot asks Elise what to do but her comrade suggests that they have done their part. An unconscious Klara is then secured by Seijuro making the rescue operation a success as Lancelot watches and Elise says the rest is up to Kamiyama and the WLOF.

Episode 8 : Nonstop Chaos! The Combat Revue Challenge!
Lancelot and her London Combat Revue Captain, Arthur, are sitting in a hotel watching the live competition between the Imperial Combat Revue and the Moscow Combat Revue.

After Hatsuho dazzles everyone with her traditional Japanese dancing, Lancelot likes the shrine maiden's performance but Arthur says that she is going to need more than to win. After Leyla wins the round with her performance of the Black Swan ballet, Lancelot is surprised as she expected the results to be more even but Arthur says that the judges are old-fashioned European men that probably choose the dance that they knew the most.

Episode 10 : The Destruction of Tokyo? The Rage of Tunguska!
Lancelot and her London Combat Revue Captain, Arthur, are sitting in a hotel watching Valery Kaminski's live worldwide broadcast as he destroys a mountain near Tokyo with the Rage of Tunguska, a massive cannon powered by a captured Klara's powers. After demonstrating his powers, Kaminski gives all of the world governments an ultimatum : disband and recognize him as their supreme ruler or be destroyed.

After that, Lancelot joins up with Seijuro Kamiyama and Elise, with whom she worked with to rescue Klara in Russia, to confront the director of the WLOF in his office. The director jumps and attempts to attack but gets sliced in half by Seijuro. Noticing that the director looks like a machine, Lancelot asks what have they just fought with Elise saying that it was just a fake. It is revealed that the director was a mechanical puppet created Kaminski during the Genan Incident.

Episode 12 : The Grand Finale! Hope for Tomorrow!
Lancelot, along with Huang Yui of the Shanghai Combat Revue and Elise of the Berlin Combat Revue, join Seijuro Kamiyama and the Imperial Combat Revue in their final battle against Valery Kaminski. Everyone attacks the madman until Sakura succeeds in killing him with her sword. Following Kaminski's death, Lancelot, the Flower Division and the others run over to Sakura and Klara's side to celebrate their victory.

Following Valery Kaminski's death, Lancelot, along with Seijuro and Elise, are in the Imperial Theater watching Klara's first stage performance as an official member of the Imperial Combat Revue's Flower Division.

Powers and Abilities
Master Swordswoman : Lancelot's greatest strength is her prowess with the sword. She was able to overwhelm Sakura Amamiya, a highly trained swordswoman, with just one sword (although she later tells Arthur that Sakura is stronger than most opponents she faced before). She's able to wield two swords at the same time. While rescuing Klara from her assailants, she could hold her ground against a greater demon (even with Elise's help).
