Background / History
Sixth Singularity
Da Vinci accompanies Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight during their investigation of the Sixth Singularity. Her observation of Li Ye fighting Siegfried leads her to question his identity: despite not being a Servant, he can contend with a dragon slayer on equal terms. 83
Using Li Ye's reports and Chaldea's scans, Da Vinci reconstructs the Singularity's anomalies. She determines that Ozymandias replaced the Holy Land with his Ancient Egyptian domain, recognizes the Hermes system as a prototype of Chaldea's Trismegistus, and identifies Li Ye as a human modified with Artoria Pendragon's Dragon Blood. 85 92 97
After Li Ye confirms Tristan's identity, Da Vinci concludes that the Lion King is Artoria Pendragon and that her Knights of the Round Table are enhanced by the Holy Grail of Arthurian legend. 98 109
Cooperation with Li Ye
Da Vinci directly confronts Li Ye about his origins, deducing that he is not native to the Singularity because he acts with knowledge of humanity's future. Li Ye confirms that he came from 2016–2017, and Da Vinci explains that ordinary Spiritron Transfer cannot remove a living person from a Singularity. 115
Their exchanges become mutually beneficial: Da Vinci receives detailed intelligence on the Singularity, while Li Ye learns basic magecraft, including Projection Magic and Reinforcement. 116 135 She also assesses his damaged Shining Sword of Ruin, criticizing its crude construction and warning that it has little remaining combat use. 127
Da Vinci remains wary of Li Ye after he acquires Rhongomyniad. She recognizes that removing the Holy Lance from its proper place in history may have altered Human Order, and fears he could replicate the Lion King's plan to isolate an era from the planet. 208 209 210
Chaldea's Fall and the Lostbelts
During the takeover of Chaldea, Da Vinci prioritizes Ritsuka and Mash's escape. Li Ye keeps Da Vinci behind, stating that he needs her intellect and technical assistance; she remains with him as Chaldea's surviving members flee. 412
Da Vinci assists Li Ye in preparing a Lostbelt-compatible Holy Grail system for wish granting and Heroic Spirit summoning. Although she cannot stop his plans, she recognizes that her expertise accelerates their implementation. 418 419
A child-form backup body, Little Da Vinci, awakens after the connection to the original is severed. It retains Da Vinci's memories up to that point but has reduced energy consumption and reduced output; it subsequently supports Ritsuka's group aboard the Shadow Border. 412 464
China Lostbelt Investigation
While traveling with Li Ye through the China Lostbelt, Da Vinci surveys the orbital Mega-structure, identifies the First Emperor's technological supremacy, and investigates the Immortal Arts underlying Great Qin's machinery. 444 446 449
Her analysis of Ying Zheng's research reveals that he seeks to create an artificial Grand Class Spirit Core: an immortal, spiritron-based existence equivalent in “height” to a Grand Class Servant. Da Vinci later helps organize the resulting data for Chaldea's use. 457 464 465
Appearance
Da Vinci's primary body is depicted with blue hair and a beautiful, composed appearance. Her backup body manifests as a child-sized version carrying a magic staff. 115 412
- Blue hair — visible during her conversation with Li Ye. 115
- Little Da Vinci — child-form backup body with reduced capabilities and output. 412
- Magic staff — carried by the backup body during its first appearance. 412
Personality
Da Vinci is confident, playful, and unabashedly proud of her own genius. She introduces inventions theatrically, calls attention to her “masterpieces,” and treats difficult technical problems as opportunities for discovery. 94 362
Behind this flamboyance, she is perceptive and cautious. She persistently investigates inconsistencies in Li Ye's story, monitors the danger posed by his power, and remains concerned about the consequences of allowing an uncontrollable present-day human to move freely through society. 115 208 360
She is also pragmatic and protective of Chaldea's personnel. During the attack on Chaldea, she places Ritsuka and Mash's survival above her own escape, then accepts the necessity of working with Li Ye to gather information and preserve a path forward. 412 414
