Sella (セラ, Sera?) is a homunculus created by the Einzbern family to serve as a maid and to teach Illyasviel sorcery.
Profile
Background
Sella is a Homunculus created by the Einzbern family to be Illya's maid and teacher.
While she was made on the basis of the same shape as Leysritt, Sella was made as a pure homunculus two years ago with normal alchemy. Unlike Illyasviel and Leysritt, Sella is not a miracle of the Einzbern family, but a homunculus with perfect efficiency.
Appearance
Despite her appearance, she is only about two years old. She usually wears a maid outfit with a hood that makes her appear almost identical to Leysritt; in casual clothing, she is revealed to have long pale hair, a characteristic of Einzbern homunculi.
Personality
Sella is highly protective of Illya, whom she loves and cares for deeply, and thus is very suspicious of Shirou Emiya.
Despite her apparent coldness to everyone but Illya, Sella is actually rather fickle and insecure, particularly about her body, and Leysritt and Illya often tease Sella for her harsh personality. Unlike Leysritt's difficulty expressing herself, Sella has clear emotions and does not hesitate to show her displeasure towards Shirou. She usually distances herself from humans and prefers to take care of the flora and fauna of the castle.
Role
Fate/stay night
As Illya travels to Fuyuki city for the Fifth Holy Grail War, she brings along her two maids Leysritt and Sella. Leysritt and Sella role is to provide care for Illya when Illya absorbs all servants. Sella would help Illya to wear the Dress of Heaven when Leyritt sacrifice her life to become the dress.[1]
Abilities
The ability of her body is inferior to others, but she makes up for it with superb magic circuits. As a magic teacher, she is superior, but as she is a fragile homunculus, Sella is unsuitable for battle.

Q: What is Illya’s capacity as a Grail? Hypothetically, if the Einzbern won the War, Illya absorbed the other 6 Servants besides Berserker, and had some shred of human will left, could she still don the Dress of Heaven and initiate the Grail ritual?
A: That’s what Liz and Sella are for. Ilya can only take up to 4 - I would think that absorbing a fifth Servant wouldn’t allow her to function as a human any longer.
