This is clearly just Saber Alter. It's the same character. If we don't like trees of implications then we should unimply saber alter from artoria pendragon (fate), not try to force these obvious skins of defined character apart. At the moment it's really hard to find all variants of just Saber Alter with a single search.

remove implication santa_alter -> artoria_pendragon_(fate)
create implication santa_alter -> saber_alter

This is the same. She's literally Saber Alter with a fake mustache.

If this goes through its worth taking another look at Saber vs Artoria Pendragon (Swimsuit Archer), Artoria Pendragon (Lancer) vs Artoria Pendragon (Swimsuit Ruler), Mysterious Heroine X vs Ultra Heroine Z, and Mysterious Heroine X Alter vs Mysterious Idol X Alter.

(As I've offhandedly mentioned previously it might be a good idea to continue keeping Mysterious Heroine X and Mysterious Heroine XX separate cuz of the aged up aspect. Same applies to MHXA and MHXXA.)

And the flattening of implications. These are all different costumes, I don't think we should be lumping them together. There's around 100 posts under saber_alter_(swimsuit_rider) -saber_alter_(swimsuit_rider)_(*) that would have to be sorted out first.

This is MHXA in a fancy new dress.

Palette swap.

Remaining posts here (more specifically using the query saber_alter_(swimsuit_rider) -saber_alter_(swimsuit_rider)_(*_ascension) to avoid false positives for cosplay tags) are ambiguous adapted costumes and/or cosplays. Usually the main way it’s identifiable is the maid headdress which she arguably shares with her carnival phantasm maid appearance so… shrug
