Random fate question.
Why does Arturia(any) have the dragon trait?
There are several reasons why.
1. The last name is probably the most popular reason as his/her full name is Arthur Pendragon. Pendragon means Dragons Head and was given to the most powerful person of that time.
2. Due to Excalibur making her nigh immortal they likened her to a dragon in human form since both were timeless creatures of great power.
3. In fate lore, Uther asked Merlin to imbue his heir with the power of a dragon. Just quoting the wiki for the detailed explanation here.
"Saber was born with the magical energy of a dragon, shown by the "Pendragon" name, as Uther ordered Merlin to grant his successor the factor of the dragon (ç«œã®å› å, ryÅ« no inshi?).[1][7] She is the holder of the Element of the Red Dragon who carries the blood and very magical power of a phantasm in a human body, granting her a heart and unique Magic Circuits that transcend what can be achieved by normal humans and magi. Saber's Circuits are called a Magic Core, which is fundamentally different from those of a normal magus. While a magus' body can be considered a machine which creates magical energy, hers acts as a factory which creates magical energy. It functions as an enormous magical energy core with tremendous capacity that generates energy independent from her body simply through breathing like dragons.[7] This allows for a case where she herself is so out of energy that she is unable to access the energy without a proper "starting key" to get the extra energy flowing. Due to the characteristics of a Dragon, she has trouble with existences such as Siegfried, who is associated with tales of culling Dragons and weapons with an anti-dragon attribute such as Arondight.
