There is also Arturia's own opinion about herself so her legend isn't perfectly clear anyway compared to the stories that are out there. after all the fact that gender wasn't mention makes it perfectly fine that in another timeline King Arthur is male with no change to the prophecyĪlso in the Visual Novel Shirou notes the legend of King Arthur is ambiguous who Arthur was saying that one legend suggested that Arthur was actually a group of people. So for the most part while Merlin never said that the child would be a boy effort was made to make it seem as if Arturia was one because of the age she was in. to "help" Merlin used his magecraft to make Arturia into a pseudo-male capable of producing sperm for an unknown duration of time. Arturia was made into a Psudo-male by Merlinĭuring this time Arturia had to deal with the problem of being able to produce an heir.he also also revealed Arturia's gender to Kay making him swear to secrecy. While being raised by Ector Merlin also visited teaching Arturia and acting as a sort of foster father figure to her. Kay could tell that Arturia would grow up to be a beauty woman but his father told him to guide her like she was his brother and decided to treat her in that manner, though he did not believe it would be kept secret. Merlin was delighted because the sex of the child had never mattered in those times a King could not make a child that was not male his successor even if she was fated to one day become a king. However when Arturia was born Uther despaired as she was born a girl, not a boy. Merlin, an Human/Incubus Hyrbid and a powerful Magus, had prophesied that their next child would be Uther's successor as king and Uther believed this. Merlin's prophecy never stated that the King had to be a boy.
