Obviously, her secret identity is Sakura.

Brawler: Shirou saves Caster after Rin kills her master, and she falls for him. Caster likes her men...physically fit, so she teaches him some spells to enhance his strength. The nature of the particular spells Caster uses allow a bit of the residue to remain after each incantation, so the more Shirou trains with her, the more inhumanely strong he becomes. This is shown especially in his sparring sessions with Saber when he puts down the training sword and holds his own with his bare hands. He learns to reinforce his own body and even manages to take that to a new level, with fists that tear past layers of solid titanium and disintegrate skin without contact. In this world he fights as a defender, who doesn't even kill his enemies, just disables them. The future of this world isn't as dreary as many other worlds, mostly because Shirou doesn't make more enemies by killing their family and friends. But in the end, it is Taiga who kills him in his own home, for sparing the murderer of her newborn son.

Shirou Emiya: The seventh path takes place before the Grail War. In fact, in this life the Grail War doesn't exist. Shirou has these strange dreams about living and dying, servants and masters, love and war(Also, in this life he didn't learn anything about the magi from his father). He tracks down Rin Tosaka, And discovers she's just a spoiled girl from a distinguished family. He finds Ilya and sees none of the mature woman he discovered in his dreams, just a playful child happy with a handsome stranger to speak with. Sakura isn't related to Rin in any way, just a cheerful and shy girl who loves her family and has a crush on her sempai. Shirou is just glad to see them, yet he feels a bit incomplete without Saber.
