    She's also short and has a small chest size.

    @Arrow: To clarify, the concept of fate and destiny definitely exists within written stories because it's all written out linearly, and things can only play out one (or one of several, in some games) way(s). So yes, your characters are tied to certain paths and have to follow them no matter what; they cannot escape their destiny.

    However 90% of the time I've encountered fate/destiny in a story, it's merely used as an excuse to make something happen. That tells me that you could think of literally no other legitimate reason to make something happen than you wanted it to happen, or you thought it should. Which of course, is lazy writing at its finest.

    "Oh, let's have her wander around naked."

    Mostly that. Yet another character designed from the ground up to appeal to romantic/sexual (okay more romantic in her case, my apologies) interests. If you haven't guessed already, sexual appeal is, to me, the lowest and laziest form of appeal you can use. Romantic is considerably more profound, but it still doesn't give her character IMO.

    I love toying with fate and destiny. I love the idea of someone having the idea that they are not in control of their life, but realizing that they are the only ones who can speak for them. The whole discussion "Did I chose this, or was it destined?" really turns me on.
    It's not a dealbreaker for me; I loved Brave and they drop fate/destiny bloody everywhere. It's just a (big) pet peeve; refer to my response to Arrow above if you wanna know where I'm coming from. (@Ziru: If you're messing with the theme of fate and not just using it to handwave things, you're fine, I won't have any problems with it.)

    She isn't muscular at all, at least she doesn't look muscular to me. And most people consider short as a good thing.

    Intended. Similar to how Kariya is far less creepy-looking in the anime adaptation than in the original light novels, Saber's design is specifically made so you won't pay much attention to it, not even in the second sex scene. Hell, even there you can see some clear hints of it.

    From a sexual PoV? I have serious doubts about that, and this is coming from someone who really likes short people.

    It's just funny when she says no fate and then goes to do something to change fate.

    If a character looks like this.

    I'm sorry I kicked your OCD's balls for like two years.

    You should change it to something you like. As long as you let us know who you are we'd get used to it
    but

    I always laugh at your name so I might be a little sad to see it go.

    That...

    ...only...

    ...happens...

    ...once...

    ...and it's in the bathroom after Shirou makes a seriously stupid mistake, one that is often utilized in such works.

    If it happens multiple times in the anime then it's not even canon, and yet another thing that defines how terrible the anime adaptation is compared to the original. Unless I'm somehow forgetting stuff again.

    If you want characters that are truly designed to cater to other people's desires, sexual or not, Rin and Sakura accomplish that in ways that almost fully complement each other.

    Her appeal isn't of sexual nature at all. If anything, rin is more sexualised than her. I don't really see where you're even getting this from.

    If they believe that, then that's that, although exploring it would be better.

    But about the episode, since they swap destinies around, it would appear that "destiny" is in this case something specific.

    Saber is short. Massa is short.

    Hell, I myself am probably pretty short at 1.75m compared to other threadders.

    Why do I only like short people
