archer didn't display any female characteristics in the anime, so why is there a female version of him called "archerko" ?

So many spoilers and so convoluted I can't really get into it.

If you really want to know (the explanation would destroy most of that arc) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate/stay_night_scenarios#Heaven.27s_Feel

oh.. so it's all cg-game related

that's why i don't know any of the f/s-n or tsukuhime stuff..

Are you fucking retarded or what? Nice spoiler for the kids, while adding no information for anyone who wanted to find out.

Lol 5 years later I respond. Anyways, I'm pretty much convinced that this Archerko is not the actual female version of Archer. I think Himura created this Archerko from Heaven's Feel ending, in which Illya sacrifices herself and he made Archerko the Heroic Spirit Illyasviel Von Einzbern.

This is the reply 10 years later. Archerko is actually Illya from Archer's timeline that diverged from Archer's own past due to 'that timeline's' Shirou being able to save Illya from dying by using the re-energized Avalon(which Saber left behind after disappearing) and transplanting some of his Magic Circuits to her body.
