->''"You just hit the Servant summoning jackpot! I'm Achilles, a Rider-class Servant. Yep, I'm the hero everyone knows for having his only weakness being his heel. But not many can even get to my heel, no way! Don't forget I'm one of the fastest people of all time!"''
An invincible demigod and the main character of Homer's ''Literature/TheIliad''. Born to the immortal sea goddess Thetis and the mortal ruler of the Myrmidons, King Peleus, Achilles was one of the strongest and most accomplished heroes in the Achaean army during the Trojan War. He was blessed with an invincible body that could not be wounded, incredible speed and skill, and a large collection of divine artifacts such as his spear and chariot. Between all these traits and his deeds during the Trojan War, Achilles was venerated as close to the equal of a god.\\\
His only weakness was a single spot on the back of his heel that, when struck, removed his invincibility and immortality. A popular myth is that his mother bathed him as a newborn in the River Styx to grant him immortality, but was forced to hold his heel above water so that he was not washed away by the current. Another account states that Thetis bathed his body in divine fire, but Peleus demanded that a single spot be unaffected so Achilles could retain his humanity. Regardless, this feature of his creation myth became widespread enough to get its own name: AchillesHeel.\\\
Achilles was killed after defeating his arch-enemy Hektor in a one-on-one duel upon the battleground. Seeking revenge against Hektor for the death of his close friend Patroclus, Achilles attached Hektor's corpse to his chariot and dragged it around while slaughtering Trojans with reckless abandon. This dishonorable act enraged the sun god Apollo, and when Achilles persisted despite his warnings, Apollo retaliated by aiding Paris- an enemy sharpshooter of the Trojan Army- in striking Achilles' weak point with a single arrow. With his invincibility removed, Achilles was overwhelmed and killed by the enemy soldiers.\\\
Achilles first debuted as "Rider of Red" from ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''. In ''Grand Order'', he makes his first appearance during Alexander's Interlude as an NPC. He made his playable debut for the ''Fate/Apocrypha'' crossover event, "Inheritance of Glory". He also appeared in Lostbelt No. 5: Atlantis as an ally.
----
* AchillesHeel: Well, [[TropeNamer yeah]]. Most of his body is invulnerable to anyone that isn't a demigod themselves or using a godforged armament, but if he's hit in the heel with an attack his immortality will be disabled and his superspeed will be partially sealed. However, he makes no effort to actually defend his heel because he likes a challenge.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Fate's Achilles is far more mellow and friendly than his infamously temperamental mythological counterpart. While the events of myth, including AchillesInHisTent still happened, the one summoned as a Servant is an all-around good guy and a reliable Servant to have... unless [[TheRival Hektor]] is nearby. He suggests, during the ''Inheiritance of Glory'' event, when Atalante brings up the whole "killing Hektor in a frenzied rage, then hitching his corpse to the back of his chariot to drive it around and desecrate it" thing, that most of his wrathful fury at the end of his life would be embodied in a Berserker incarnation, a class materials suggest he qualifies for.
* AnimalMotifs: His design notes suggest that his features, while handsome, are lean and hungry like a restless raptor. He also has a second motif in comparing himself to a shooting star, something destined to blaze brilliantly but briefly and then burning out in an instant.
* AnimeHair: Sticking up straight and spiky.
* {{Archenemy}}:
** Hektor is a complicated case. Both of them ''kind of'' want to just accept the way things shook out in life and move on... but they also still bring out the worst in each other and end up picking and starting fights.
** Berserker of El Dorado '''really''' hates him, but he's just uncomfortable around her because he feels bad about killing her before. If he weren't serving the protagonist, he'd let her kill him in apology, but can't leave his Master unguarded.
** In the case of his killer Paris, Achilles mostly treats him as an annoying brat that he has no interest in dealing with.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Achilles is about to say goodbye to the protagonist at the end of ''Inheritance of Glory'', he states why he has to go...
-->'''Achilles:''' No more battles, huh? I guess because there's no more grudge and no civilians to fall prey to tyranny and massacre... Oh, and there's no Hektor.
-->'''Protagonist:''' You hated him that much?!
* ArtEvolution: His first appearance in ''F/GO'' had his illustration in the ''Fate/Apocrypha'' light novels used as his portrait. When he turned into a playable Servant, he got a new portrait based on his Saint Graph.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The side effect of his incredible power is that his mana costs are atrocious (though not as bad as Karna's). Using his chariot alone eats up enough mana to summon another Servant. It doesn't come up in gameplay due to Chaldea's infrastructure, but in a Grail War this would make it difficult for him to cut loose unless he has an exceptionally strong Master.
* BadassTeacher: Parodied in Alexander's Interlude where he gives combat and tactical training to pirates so they'll let him mooch off of them for money and shelter... with special attention to fighting Lancers with unkempt beards.
* BladeOnAStick: He wields his Noble Phantasm, Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe, in battle. If invoked, it can create a duel field which is a PocketDimension for him and his opponent which blocks any outside interventions, including his own divine protection. He has the qualification as Lancer because of this spear and if he is in that class, the spear can inflict wounds that won't heal, similar to Gáe Bolg. However, [[WouldNotHitAGirl he cannot invoke it against a female opponent]] because of his regrets of killing Penthesilea with this spear.
* BreakoutCharacter: He was one of the most popular Servants in ''Fate/Apocrypha'', with fans clamoring for his release for years.
* BroughtDownToBadass: His introduction in Atlantis has him already shot in in the heel, resulting in him losing his invincibility and reducing his speed by 70%. He's still a powerful ally and capable of stalling Chiron and his army before dying from his wounds.
* CombatPragmatist: Although songs were sung of their clash, he really didn't enjoy how close to death his duel with Hektor brought him - so much so that, as shown in Alexander's Interlude, his strategy for ever running into the Trojan again is to just have his troops gang up on him while Achilles hangs back waiting to get a cheap shot in.
* CoolHorse: ''Three'' of them, Xanthus, Balius, and Padasos, who drive his chariot with the speed of a shooting star. Xanthus and Balius are divine horses given to Achilles by Poseidon himself, while Pedasos is simply a "fine and famous" horse he got while pillaging an enemy city. They're each about as tough as the average Servant and can trample others underneath their powerful hooves. Xanthus can also talk thanks to Hera's blessing.
* CriticalHitClass: Even when compared to most other Riders, Achilles has powerful buffs to his Quick cards that allows him to easily build up crit stars and ''keep'' doing it to hit for high numbers. Thanks to being a Rider, he also gets to enjoy those crit stars he generates, allowing him to do immense crit damage only rivaled by his fellow Rider Kintoki.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** PlayedForLaughs when it comes to Hektor. Just read the dialogue yourself:
--> "Hektor... well, if he’s an ally, it’s fine. He's tough to deal with when he’s an enemy though. I’m not going to pick a fight with—OW! '''HEKTOR! YOU THREW THAT ROCK AT ME, DIDN’T YOU!? FINE THEN! LET’S DO ANOTHER ROUND OF 1-ON-1! AND DON’T YOU RUN! IT’LL THROW MY AIM OFF!'''"
** He also responds to Orion's joke about him carrying girls home at mixers by ''taking out his chariot to run him over''.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Made his debut in ''Grand Order'' as a NPC in Alexander's Interlude. In fact, that cameo was added a whole ''two years'' (to the day!) before he was available.
* FamedInStory: In and out of universe, Achilles is one of the most famed mythological heroes in history. Even those without any exposure to mythology have probably heard the term "AchillesHeel" at least once. This works to his advantage in-story, allowing him to be summoned near the peak of his strength no matter where the Grail War takes place, but it's especially high in Europe, rivaling Vlad III even in Vlad's home country. When he introduced himself to the protagonist in ''Inheritance of Glory'' event, he mentions that the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon Achilles Tendon]][[note]]scientifically referred to as the calcaneal tendon or ''Tendo calcaneus''[[/note]] is named after him.
* {{Fanboy}}: Achilles has huge admiration for both Atalanta and Heracles. His romantic interest in Atalanta is based on the stories his father told him about her and is rendered speechless when they meet again in ''Apocrypha - Inheritance of Glory''. If you have Heracles, Achilles has to hype himself up to talk to him and even blushes when discussing over the possibility of sparring with the Berserker.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: He appears in Battle in New York 2019 event where he is an SNKBoss whose gimmicks are true to his lore like his refusal to pick a fight with women as an effect of one of his Noble Phantasms.
** It's stated that one of the in-lore reasons why Achilles is so tough is that he has no less than ''five'' Noble Phantasms at his disposal, on top of his strong-as-hell armor and naturally high combat abilities. In-game, this translates to his skills having two or more effects where most servants have at most one per skill. His wide range of skills in lore also translates to him being both a powerful farming servant and a useful Challenge Quest destroyer.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Because three of his Noble Phantasms are represented as Skills in-game, the ones that can't be used together in-story can be used together in gameplay - and, in fact, the incompatible pairs of [=NPs=] actually benefit each other.
** In-story, Achilles can't use Troias Tragoidia (his chariot) and Dromeus Kometes (his SuperSpeed) together, for the simple reason that the world's fastest legs aren't much use when riding on a chariot. In gameplay, however, Troias Tragoidia is a Quick NP and Dromeus Kometes is a 3-turn Quick boost, meaning that the latter enhances the former just by being activated.
** In-story, Achilles created Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe's Duel Field so he could have fair fights against people unable to circumvent Andreas Amarantos (his immortality) - effectively, devising magecraft to ''negate'' his invincibility. In gameplay, Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe is a taunt skill that doesn't remove the invincibility or defense buff provided by Andreas Amarantos, meaning that Achilles can combine both to soak up blows for his entire team.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: His Third and Final Ascension arts swap out his ''Fate/Apocrypha'' outfit with a set of golden armor and SensualSpandex.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Berserker of El Dorado hates him for commenting on her beauty instead of her strength as she was dying, but it's noted that he almost certainly didn't mean to offend or belittle her and was just caught by surprise. Semiramis, if the player also has her, calls him an "insensitive hero who causes nothing but trouble".
* JackOfAllStats: What makes Achilles as strong as he is gameplay-wise is the sheer flexibility he offers despite being an AOE Quick Rider. He can tank hits with two of his skills, he can spam his NP with mild support, crit enemies to death with his high hit count and natural star absorption, and he can offer mild team support thanks to being able to DrawAggro. He lacks healing and any direct team support, but he's one of the strongest Riders in the game thanks to being able to do so much at once.
* LightningBruiser: He is one of the greatest Greek heroes, boasting A+ rank Agility, A rank Endurance and B+ rank Strength.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His shield, Akhilieus Kosmos, can easily defend against anything short of an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, though [[FantasticNuke Vasavi Shakti]] was able to shatter it after it had just taken Brahmastra Kundala. This shield is his Bond CE in-game.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After defeating Penthesilea but before she was actually dead, he removed her helmet out of curiosity, since she was supposed to be a legendary beauty. He ''knew'' it would be incredibly insulting to comment on it, but he was so shocked that his mouth slipped and he said the one thing he absolutely shouldn't. As a result, his guilt keeps him from accepting a true rematch because he feels he deserves her hatred and wouldn't have the heart to fight back.
* NighInvulnerability
** His famed invulnerability lets him NoSell any attack with hostile intent as long as the user and the weapon used in the attack aren't divine. In his home series, this meant that Chiron was the only member of the Black Faction who could actively fight him, since he could literally waltz right through entire Noble Phantasms with ease for as long as they didn't strike his heel. In the game proper, it grants him invulnerability to two attacks and also increases his defense for 3 turns.
** He also has an A+ ranked shield that can outright negate any Noble Phantasms used on it unless they're Anti World and above a certain power it seems the shield will break anyway. This NP is his bond CE and increases his NP damage by 30% and gives the entire frontline a one hit three turn invincibility, most likely representing that he loaned it out at the climax of Apocrypha.
* OhCrap: When a certain Amazoness queen is mentioned to also be in Chaldea, he suddenly speaks in a robotic manner out of shock.
* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: Subverted. He states that he ''would'' invoke this in regards to the aforementioned Amazoness queen to make amends, were it not for the fact that doing so would mean he would be unable to protect his master.
* PocketDimension: Two of his Noble Phantasms (Diatrekhon Aster Lokhe and Akhilleus Kosmos), if invoked can create these.
* TheRival: Against Hektor. Though when they are on the same side, they turn into some kind of SitcomArchNemesis duo.
* SapientSteed: His horse Xanthos, a gift from Poseidon, is the only one of Achilles' three horses that can speak. [[TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson It knows about 4X strategy games for some bizarre reason.]]
* SemiDivine: He has Rank C Divinity for being the son of the human Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis.
* SensualSpandex: His armor in his third and final ascension makes no effort to hide Achilles' ripped body.
* ShipTease: Some with Atalante in the ''Apocrypha'' event and their respective My Room dialogues toward each other, following on from the teasing in their home series.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Like most Greek Servants, his name in Japan is on its Greek form "Achilleus".
* SmugSuper: He's really full of himself, though he's not a bad guy and can definitely back it up.
* StoryBreakerPower: He has ''five'' Noble Phantasms[[note]]and, if you actually count his cosmetic-only 3rd Ascension golden armor made for him by Hephaestus, it's actually ''six''[[/note]] when most only have one or two. He's also NighInvulnerable and can only be harmed by divine weapons or Servants (or attacks that are considered "friendly" like a vampire's bite) if you aren't striking his heel, is wicked fast thanks to Dromeus Kometes, and has a powerful chariot that can easily grind other Servants to paste if they're caught on the path of its charge. He's fully aware of these and outright challenges the entire Black Faction at once in his home series so that they'll know what a true warrior is like. In FGO proper, when he appears as an ally in Atlantis he's already been shot in the foot, lost his shield at some point, and gives up his armor [[spoiler:so Hephaestus can make Orion a divine bow out of it]]; he still quickly becomes the Argonauts's biggest powerhouse who can take on hordes of superhuman soldiers [[spoiler:and the Lostbelt version of Chiron]] singlehandedly.
* SuperpowerLottery: So much that his English summoning quote opens with a quip about the player hitting the jackpot. He's the second greatest Greek hero and it really shows. He has ''five'' Noble Phantasms as a Rider. One is his invulnerability, one is his superspeed, one is his chariot, another is his shield and the fifth is his spear, though he can't make full use of it unless he's a Lancer. It still lets him set up his duel field by deactivating divine blessings and other outside assistance within its radius, though this is actually intended to limit his own abilities for a fair fight, not the enemy's. In-game, his chariot is his Noble Phantasm, the duel field, invulnerability and superspeed are all skills and the shield is his bond CE.
* TakingTheBullet: His 3rd skill has a self-taunt effect that, when combined with his 2nd skill that gives him invincibility, will be able to make him safely tank even a single-target Noble Phantasm thrown by the enemy, assuming it doesn't have "Invincibility Pierce" or a way to remove his Defense buffs before damage sets in, of course. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Which fittingly makes Chiron and Paris' [=NPs=] his perfect counter]].
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: In Lostbelt 5, he and Paris hold a grudge against each other due to Achilles killing Hektor and Paris killing him afterwards, but work together to help the protagonist nonetheless.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After briefly being coerced into working for Amakusa in ''Apocrypha'' under the promise of doing so, the protagonist provides Achilles with a legitimate chance to help save the world like the true hero he always felt he never was in life.
* UndyingLoyalty: As of the trope above, he declares himself loyal to the protagonist as he got a chance to serve an actual Master (since in his home series, he wants to meet his Master but it never happened because of Amakusa), to the point that he refuses to die for Berserker of Eldorado's forgiveness if that means he won't be able to protect his Master.
* WorfHadTheFlu: By the time he appears in Lostbelt 5, his heel has already been hit, weakening him heavily. This is reflected in him being lower level then most of your allies. Given he's one of the most busted characters from a story angle, it was clearly done to balance out the team.
* WorthyOpponent: Mandricardo comments that Achilles seems to rate his own killer highly, and Achilles doesn’t deny it. He respects Paris for finding enough courage to do what he did.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is yellow-green. He's had it since childhood and it's made all the more glaring in Chiron's Bond Craft Essence which shows him teaching a trio of young would-be heroes where Achilles is the only one of his pupils with such exotic hair. It likely has something to do with his mother Thetis being a sea nymph.

UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat summoned as the innocent young prince of Macedonia both in body and mind. He still has all his memories of his exploits but it gets a bit foggy for him when it comes to stuff that happened after his adolescence.\\\
He's an antagonist in the Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire Septem.
----
* ArtEvolution: He received an animation overhaul in 2019 that included more usage of his lightning powers and his horse, Bucephalus.
* BadassAdorable: He's a very cute boy who's quite formidable in battle, and later grows up to become the big, manly, and even ''more'' badass Iskandar.
* BalanceBuff: His Rosy-cheeked Adonis was buffed into Rosy-cheeked Adonis (Lightning). It now has a roughly 20% increase in success rate, but also now removes buffs from the target. This makes him a great support Servant who can charm an enemy, and if it fails, at least remove any powerful buffs.
* {{Bishonen}}: In stark contrast to his [[{{RatedMForManly}} adult version]]. Its even reflected as a Personal Skill!
* BlindObedience: The young Alexander's dialogue(s) would have him quote some teachings of his personal tutor, the philosopher Aristotle. He evidently likes the guy at this stage of his life-- which [[TruthInTelevision starkly contrasts their relationship]] [[BrokenPedestal later in life]][[note]]due to Alexander's adoption of non-Greek customs, which [[DeliberateValuesDissonance Aristotle seemingly-loathes as it is supposedly "barbaric"]][[/note]].
* BraidsOfAction: Rare male example. It can be taken as a sign that even at such young age, he already had the spirit of a brave conqueror willing to fight anyone to achieve his dream.
* CoolHorse: His Noble Phantasm has Bucephalus trample the enemy. After his animation update, Bucephalus becomes a more active participant in Alexander's attacks and skills.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The key difference between young Alexander's Servant unit and the older Iskandar, apart from their variant card focus and skillset[[note]]Alexander is Quick-based while Iskandar is Buster-based[[/note]], would be their function in a team. For the most part, Iskandar is very good for one thing alone: pure NP damage (as well as facilitating hard-hitting NP chains). By contrast, Alexander's skills have [[SupportPartyMember significant support value]]. Hence, these do not only allow him to hit hard (as much as his low stats would allow him to, that is), but also let his teammates survive, hit hard and generate stars on their own. The fact that he is a 3-star also helps in bringing in a support Caster that can enable him[[note]]say, Waver or the more recently-released Scáthach-Skadi[[/note]], plus a main boss-killer, without too much cost to a team.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: He has his memories from his older self as well, but states that attempting to focus on them feels strange, like he's living a dream that's yet to come.
* DualBoss: Fights together with [[MythologyGag Zhuge Liang]] in one boss battle.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Unlike most charm skills in the game, Alexander's Fair Youth skill works regardless of the target's sex.
* {{Fanboy}}: He is a fanboy of the Iliad and Achilles, as seen in his Interlude.
* GrowingMusclesSequence: Apparently the effect of his other Noble Phantasm, Zeus Thunder: God's Blessing. In fact, using this Noble Phantasm is largely responsible for his future appearance.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like he's in his mid-teens but mentions having completed his studies with Aristotle in the past, which means he would have to be older than 16.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Even for someone in his mid-teens, Alexander is absolutely tiny (151cm/4'11"). This is more shocking when you compare it to his adult height (212cm/6'11"). He literally gains ''two feet'' in a few years.
* SemiDivine: He only has Rank E Divinity because he didn't start claiming he was a descendant of Zeus until he was an adult.
* ShockAndAwe: With his animation update, he now uses infuses lightning into his attacks.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ditto with his older version. In this game, the young one is called Alexander and the adult one is Iskander.
* TeenGenius: He's still only a kid, but he ''is'' the guy who would eventually become Iskandar, and even in this form possesses a great deal of Iskandar's tactical genius.
* TokenMiniMoe: In a strange case, as he's male, he's this for the Rider class.
* YoungAndInCharge: Contrasting his older version.
* UseYourHead: His updated attacks not only has one of him headbutting his enemy followed by a jumping knee to the face, but also has one that has him charge Bucephalus towards the enemy, not to trample them, but to ram them horse's head first.

->''"Merry-- Excuse me for entering from the chimney. I am the pretty Santa Claus who has answered your summon. You must be my reindeer?"''
The corrupted Altria, now on a mission to spread good cheer and the Christmas spirit. Wait, what?\\\
This Altria Alter has resolved to clear her image by acting as the ally of children, Santa Claus. The lack of futility in her behavior and cool-headedness closely resemble the normal Alter, but the admiration for Santa Claus at her root makes her a little more kind.\\\
She debuted as the free Servant for the first Christmas event, "Almost Weekly Santa Alter," and naturally has some role in the second Christmas event, "The Little Santa Alter".
According to Space Ishtar, Santa Alter is from the Servant Universe.
----
* BadSanta: She's actually enthusiastic about doing her job, but it's still an ''Alter''. [[CardCarryingVillain She even calls herself an "Evil Santa"]]. That said, she's much nicer than she publicly admits.
* BadassSanta: Despite being a welfare Servant, she has nigh-identical HP to regular Alter at max level and, while having less Attack, can still potentially out-damage her Saber self NP-wise due to the ease of maxing out said NP. Heck, she's considered one of the better Riders, full stop, due to her well-rounded skillset, the base power of her NP, and the ease with which it can be brought to max power.
* BigEater: Still on a junk food binge. Her ascension material? A bucket of fried chicken.[[note]]It's pretty much a RealLife reference to how modern Japanese families consider fried chicken buckets (particularly [[UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken KFC]]) as part of the traditional Christmas meal.[[/note]]
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Even as a Rider, she still has access to and uses Excalibur Morgan.
* TheComicallySerious: Saber Alter isn't a very emotional person. So you get to see her stoically distribute presents in a Santa dress and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4U4L-WeqoY hum "Jingle Bells" in the middle of firing sword beams of pure evil]].
* ContraltoOfDanger: Downplayed. While her voice is deeper than regular Saber Altria's, it's of a higher cadence than the other Altria Alters, to go with her trying to be a more heroic person.
* CrutchCharacter: As one of the first "Welfare Servants", Santa Alter is a completely free 4-Star Servant that can be easily maxed out provided that the player completes all the event quests and clears out the event shop. She also was invaluable early on because of how rare Buster [=AoE=] Rider's were at the time, and even today are still quite rare.[[note]]At launch, the only other [=AoE=] Buster NP Riders were Teach, Martha, and Drake. Teach though usable, was limited by his rarity, Martha did not have a high enough damage output to fit well into the [=AoE=] Buster spot until her third Rank Up Quest boosted her NP's raw damage and adding a Buster buff before activating, and Drake was rare and expensive to acquire. The next available Rider after Santa Alter was Iskander, who is rare and limited, followed nearly a year later by Rider of the Resistance, and Ivan, who are Story Locked and Limited respectively.[[/note]] As a tradeoff, her stats are noticeably lower than other 4-Stars (especially the three other Welfare Riders that come after her, Kintoki, Ryoma, and Ishtar). The sheer power of a Level 5 Excalibur Morgan helps her stay relevant for many older players, but her out of date kit and stats make her not the top dog she used to be, and Summer Ishtar generally tends to be used over her because of the latter's stats and kit.
* DeadpanSnarker: Seemingly incapable of interacting with anyone without mocking or disparaging them in some way.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Doesn't appreciate it if you address her as "Alter-chan".
* ExposedToTheElements: Subverted. Santa Alter bluntly admits that she's actually freezing her ass off in her minidress. Nonetheless, a job is a job, and she treats the cold as an unavoidable occupational hazard.
* {{Fauxreigner}}: Claims to be from Finland (aka the country of Santa Claus Village) despite being the King of the Britons.
* FriendToAllChildren: Despite being Alter, she is still working as Santa. This is best illustrated in her PetTheDog moment below.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being a Rider, her sleigh is not a Noble Phantasm.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's still the cold, callous Saber Alter she's known for, but her desire to act as Santa is bringing out a softer side to her.
* MinidressOfPower: One so powerful itself, and on a [[ActionGirl powerful enough person]], that it immediately comes up as a dialogue option for our poor abducted protagonist. They get the option to mention it several other times throughout the first Christmas event's questline.
* MundaneUtility: She scared off her reindeer because she tried to use Excalibur Morgan [[RecoilBoost as a ''jet engine'']].
* PetTheDog:
** She encounters Jack the Ripper and Nursery Rhyme/Alice, sad and cold because nobody supposedly remembers them[[note]]Jack in this continuity being the collective incarnation of London's abandoned street children and Nursery Rhyme being, well, the crystallization of fairy tales currently in a [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] universe[[/note]]. They thought they'd challenge Santa Alter for presents, which she accepted. Despite losing (and thinking Christmas will be lonely for them yet again), Alter chooses to "[[ILetYouWin lose]]" and give them the Christmas Event Craft Essences, to their absolute delight.
** In the second Christmas event, [[spoiler:she willingly goes along with the plan to let Jeanne d'Arc Alter Santa Lily become a proper Servant, even being the one to warn the protagonist about how she'll vanish otherwise and prompting the entire scheme to be cooked up.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Being no-nonsense Altria (Alter), she has a tendency to drop these on those she beats... while also giving them presents. She gives a particularly short and pointed one to Jeanne Alter, who was particularly frustrated with the holiday ridiculousness of the whole situation but was called out by Altria for being rather half-assed as a Servant. [[spoiler:This was not without consequence.]]
* TheRedMage: She has most of Saber Alter's damage-boosting skills, but eschews Charisma for Saint's Gift, which can heal an ally Servant for a considerable amount. This makes her a well-rounded unit, as well as a good source of healing for players who use a Mystic Code without a healing Master Skill.
* SexySantaDress: Her outfit is a minidress with thigh-high boots and leggings in [[LittleBlackDress black]]. Her Final Ascension art has her sitting down and her legs crossed to show that, bottom-wise, she's not wearing any undergarments aside from those black leggings.
* SmugSmiler: She sports quite the smug smirk as her happy expression, and she subtly mocks you with it should you get mostly QP and the common items from the lottery.
* SurpriseSantaEncounter: She kidnaps you from Chaldea all of a sudden and you can [[CallBack note that she's the final Servant they had to beat in Fuyuki]]. You can also accuse her of forcing you to be her reindeer as her way of acting out her being a sore loser.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: If the protagonist recognizes her from Fuyuki, she'll tell them that this is their first meeting and that she's never been beaten by them before and certainly hasn't been brooding over that fact.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Comedic example. "Jingle Bells" starts playing when she uses her Excalibur Morgan. She even hums along. She's also ''invented her own first verse lyrics'':
--> ''Dashing off we go, through the raging winds, slicing singularities, battles on ba-attleeees~''
* TerribleArtist: She claims she designed her sleigh to resemble a lion, but everyone says it looks more like a hippopatamus.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: As far as she's concerned, the true meaning of Christmas is turkey.
-->"I don't have any fond memories of Christmas, but I want a turkey. Oh yes, do I ever. That rustic, crude, oily brilliance of it--the essence of a good meal."
* {{Tsundere}}: Her nicer side comes out several times during the Christmas event, particularly with Jack and Nursery Rhyme, though she continuously tries to play it off. The protagonist can even call her "Alter-chan" at one point and her response is to quickly tell them not to say that while her portrait is in a ''flustered'' state rather than an angry one.
* WaveMotionSword: She still has Excalibur Morgan, using it as her sleigh's thrusters in place of the reindeer she scared off. As one of the first "welfare Servants", the player also has the opportunity to get it to Level 5 with relative ease, making her extremely helpful to players unwilling to shell out a lot of Saint Quartz for other 4-Stars and 5-Stars of comparable power.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: Tells Martha, Ushiwakamaru, and Jing Ke they need to stop loitering around in a cave, go outside, and find some boyfriends to spend Christmas with instead of wasting away.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade S! They reach all the way past her knees and she's clearly flustered when speaking to the protagonist.

->''"Rider-class Servant, Altria Pendragon. Now that I'm here, brace yourself to begin living your life properly! There will be no more going back to sleep once your alarm goes off, and no more letting yourself get out of shape. I will clean everything! I will do the laundry! C-cooking... Well, I'll do my best..."''
In order to make her Master’s summer even better, Altria Alter has become a maid. Her subsequent embarrassment at the idea of people seeing her dressed up as one has led her to disguise her various weapons as mere cleaning tools.\\\
First announced during FGO 2nd Anniversary Fes, she's the swimsuit version of Altria (Alter) for the second Summer event. She is Nero's teammate on team "Tyrannical Shooting Star" in "Dead Heat Summer Race / Death Jail Summer Escape."
----
* BadassLongcoat: She's wearing one for her second stage over her swimsuit. It gets even bigger and more impressive at her third stage.
* BalanceBuff: Her Coaching skill was buffed to include a delayed buff that triggers one turn later to increase the maximum HP of her target for five turns up to 3000 HP. This effectively acts as a delayed heal that compensates for the 1000 HP Demerit of the skill.
* BareYourMidriff: The swimsuit part of her outfit comes into play with a lot of the middle removed to let it function as one.
* {{BFG}}: Secace, Altria's short sword which has been turned into a gun, is normally a water pistol, but can be combined with Excalibur Morgan to turn it into an anti-material sniper rifle.
* BikerBabe: It's TwentyPercentMoreAwesome due to the fact her water walking extends to vehicles, allowing her to drift her motorcycle on ''the ocean''.
* BloodKnight: While her original self is epitomized by TranquilFury, her swimsuit version's wider range of emotions includes more enthusiasm for violence. Indeed, she's quite happy to offer her services to her master in [[DeadlyEuphemism making things disappear]], like at the beginning of "Death Jail Summer Escape."
* CoatCape: She wears her black coat this way in her third Ascension.
* CoolBike: She rides one on the ocean for her Noble Phantasm animation. This is the reason she's a Rider.
* CoolCrown: Wears a black crown at her third ascension.
* DeadlyEuphemism: She occasionally refers to killing people as "cleaning up", as befitting a maid.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: {{Averted}}. The only role of the maid she can't do is cook, which she balks at doing if asked.
--> ''(something she disliked)'' "What I dislike? Let's see... The normal me would dare not think of something like this, but cooking is difficult. I tend to cook more than necessary. I never imagined I would stoop to Gawain's level..."
* GlassCannon: Despite her high HP and low ATK for her rarity, this is how Maid Alter effectively plays. She has no defensive skills and one skill that demands 1000HP for a demerit, but what she does have is high star weight, a passive that boosts her crit damage, the demerit skill takes a turn off cooldown and boosts crit star generation, another passive for Quick damage, and a skill that provides a self Attack buff along with a party-wide Quick buff, and another that gives a strong Quick buff for one attack with an incredibly short cooldown. Altogether, this makes her a Servant who can compensate her low base Attack with buffs and crits, can generate ''and'' get the crit stars to do so, and has one of the most damaging [=NPs=] ''in the game'' when buffs are taken into account, though she won't last long in a sustained fight.
* {{Irony}}: Despite her higher rarity and having a Quick-focused deck, Maid Alter's Riding Skill is only at rank B, a rank lower than her Santa version's. Her motorcycle is not a Noble Phantasm.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Switches out her maid-swimsuit for a skin-tight black dress for her third ascension.
* LighterAndSofter: Not ''extremely'' so (it is Altria Alter, after all) but compared to her other appearances, she does come across like this. Those [[WhenSheSmiles satisfied smiles]] come out a little easier than other times, and during her debut event itself she displays a generally wider range of emotion than she typically does, with even a few moments of outright, open surprise. She's also openly happy to serve her master and all-but-admits affection for them, even giving up her title of "King" in favor of "Maid" for the race she enters explicitly for their sake.
* MakingASplash: Like vanilla swimsuit Altria, Alter unleashes blasts of water from her guns and also soaks the enemy while striking them with her mop.
* {{Meido}}: Yes, she's actually wearing a swimsuit version of a ''maid costume'', complete with [[ImprovisedWeapon a mop as her weapon]].
* TheMusketeer: Battle-style wise, she falls under here. While she definitely uses firearms as her main weapon, she normally opens her normal attacks with either [[ImprobableWeaponUser the Excalibur Morgan balloon sword, or the mop]].
* NinjaMaid: She professes to being a simple maid in this form, yet she also has no problem jumping around and beating people up with her mop and sword while shooting them with powerful jets of water from her guns.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: This version of Alter is a biker gunslinger gothic lolita maid in ''a swimsuit''. It's as ridiculous as it's awesome.
* OralFixation: Is often seen munching on a popsicle, especially in her First Ascension art.
* ParryingBullets: In her home stretch race-winning cutscene in "Death Jail Summer Escape", she manages to parry all of Professor M's machine gun fire... with a wooden mop. Babbage and Professor M are flabbergasted (the former impressed with a British maid, the latter with Britain's legendary king), and Professor M even has a ReactionShot cut-in.
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Her Final Ascension art has her pointing her pistol at the screen while glaring, though the threatening nature is mitigated by her [[BoobsAndButtPose pose]], her [[{{Stripperific}} attire]], and the fact [[SexySoakedShirt it's raining]].
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: In her third Ascension where she's wielding Excalibur Morgan proper, she can throw the sword at her target, which hits multiple times like a buzzsaw before she jumps forward and retrieves it.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Popsicles, which she's always seen munching on both in her first ascension outfit and as her skill animation. Heck, she mentions in one of her My Room lines that that's the thing she likes the most.

->''"Were you surprised? The two of us are one Servant. She is Mary Read. I'm Anne Bonny. Pleased to meet you."''
UsefulNotes/AnneBonny and Mary Read are two female pirates who from the Golden Age of Piracy. Bonny was born to a prosperous household, a natural hooligan who eloped with a small-time punk. Bonny later separated from her husband, raising a pirate flag together with John Rackham. Upon capturing a ship from Holland one day, Bonny met Read by chance, who had slipped onto the ship dressed as a man. Read joined with her under Rackham's command, and they endeavored as a duo due to getting along well as fellow women, devoting themselves to the ways of piracy. It is said in many testimonies from Rackham's crew that the duo fought with greater courage than any other.\\\
This time, the two have been exceptionally summoned as a single set Servant. There are no penalties given for this, but if one collapses the other will also be unable to fight, no questions asked.\\\
They debuted together as antagonists in the Third Singularity: Okeanos, working for Blackbeard.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Anne's shirt has a window stopping just short of her navel.
* BattleCouple: A couple in life, now immortalized as a dual Servant.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' reveals they love the protagonist because the protagonist treated them kindly despite being pirates when they were hated in life for being criminals, treating them no differently from real saints.
* {{BFG}}: Anne's rifle is longer than she is tall.
* {{BFS}}: Mary wields a cutlass that looks pretty big compared to her.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Apparently in life Mary's disguise as a man was incredibly convincing that no one realized she was a woman till she revealed it herself.
* {{Bokukko}}: Mary, alluding her disguise as a man in Calico Jack's crew, and contrasting Anne's refined ''watakushi''.
* CoveredWithScars: Mary's clothes hide most of it, but in third and final ascension we see just how many scars she has.
* CriticalHitClass: Even amongst Riders, their skill set is built around critical hits, be it increasing their critical star absorption and generation rate, increasing their critical damage, and possessing a QQAAB deck, a Quick-based NP, and a Bond 10 CE that increases the party's critical hit damage to take full advantage of that. Ironically, they don't have the Riding skill to increase the power of their Quick cards and indirectly their star generation rate.
* DesperationAttack: Caribbean Free Bird: Bond of Lovebirds gets stronger the lower their HP is. If combined with the Black Holy Grail CE, it can become one of the strongest single-target attacks in the game.
* TheDividual: They're officially one Servant. In gameplay, Mary does most of the action, while Anne merely comes in when invoking skills and for the Noble Phantasm. If Anne's in charge, they become an Archer instead (as seen with their swimsuit version).
* ExactWords: During "Chaldea Summer Memory", in order to figure out where they are, Mary convinces Blackbeard to paddle out to sea so he can get a better view of the land for them. She does this by promising him that she'll allow him to touch her anywhere once, which he agrees to immediately. When he gets back, Mary gives him a high-five for returning alive which he tiredly reciprocates. She then informs him that that counted as his reward touch.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Well, "Huge Girl, Tiny Girl" in their case. Curiously, in dialogue sequences, it's downplayed as Mary is made to appear taller than in the card art, coming up to just below Anne's shoulder, which is more accurate to their official heights, as there's only a height difference of 13 cm, or about 5 inches (which means Anne should only be OneHeadTaller than Mary). Not to mention, Mary is actually ''taller'' than Altria and Nero!
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Anne Bonny's wardrobe is miraculous in how she doesn't have a wardrobe malfunction every few seconds.
* ItsWhatIDo: They don't really have any wish for the Grail. But it's a treasure, the Grail War a fantastic adventure, and they're pirates, so they are going for it anyway.
* MsFanservice: Anne. And Mary, come that third ascension.
* OffModel: Going by the numbers in their profile, their height gap is only 13 cm, but in their card art Mary is only as tall as Anne's waist.
* OfficialCouple: Mixed with a bit of polyamory as they seem to consider the two of them and their Master one. This might be based on historical fact that both Anne and Mary got a stay of execution because they were both pregnant with Calico Jack's children.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite her looks, Mary is actually at least ''10 years'' older than Anne. The official spin-off manga ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' reveals that Mary was only summoned as a child and looked her age in real life.
* OneSteveLimit: Mary and Marie have very similar names, and to make things worse, both are also Riders. The main differences lie in the pronunciation of the letter A and the emphasis on the other syllable ('''Ma'''-ry and Ma-'''rie''').
* PirateGirl: Both of them, and they're based on two of the most famous RealLife examples.
* PlayboyBunny: Have elements of this in third and final ascension. Especially Mary. The reason why they wear bunnygirl costumes is because [[AuthorAppeal I-IV wanted to draw them in such a costume]].
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Anne's color-scheme is mainly red and black. Additionally, together they also play this trope straight, with Anne supplying more red and Mary supplying the black.
* RedOniBlueOni: Anne's red to Mary's blue. Anne is friendlier from the start, but Mary is DefrostingIceQueen. While both of them are pretty hedonistic, Anne wants more treasures and adventures when Mary just wants to roam around the world freely.
* TheShutIn: Played for laughs in "The Garden of Order", where they wind up becoming a pair of lazy slobs who never leave their apartment after [[TheCorrupter Blackbeard]] exposes them to the convenience of the internet and online shopping.
* SweetPollyOliver: ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' reveals that both Anne and Mary did this in life growing up and even as pirates due to the belief that women on the ship was bad luck.
* TogetherInDeath: Despite being functionally two Servants, when one of them dies, the other will follow not long after. The reason why only Mary is out in the field is because they have twice the hitbox otherwise (and Anne using a flintlock is detrimental to her melee). Might be an allusion from when Mary died in prison, Anne practically disappeared from the record.
* ThreeWaySex: If you max out their bond level, Anne more or less suggests a threesome with their Master.
* TokenYuriGirls: Their Stage 4 artwork leaves ''very'' little to the imagination on what their relationship is. Also, their Noble Phantasm's title is Bond of ''Lovebirds''. [[MetaGuy Blackbeard]] even refers to them as "The Yuri Couple."
* YourCheatingHeart: ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' shows that Anne had a tendency of falling in love despite being in committed relationships. She was married when she met Calico Jack but still eloped with him. She even fell for Mary while dating Calico Jack before she realized Mary was a woman.

->''"Yahoo! My name is Astolfo! Rider Class! And, and... umm, nice to meet you!"''
A character from the Matter of France, where he was one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne. Astolfo is said to have been the most handsome, optimistic and [[TheUnfettered completely lacking in sense]] out of the Twelve. A sunny adventurer at heart, Astolfo traveled all across the world getting into all sorts of fun and light-hearted adventures, acquiring a whole collection of [[ArtifactOfPower artifacts and mystical items]] such as his hunting horn, magical grimoire, and shining golden lance. He befriended many legendary mounts such as the {{Hippogriff}} and even reached the Moon in the end.\\\
Astolfo first appeared in ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' as Rider of Black, where he was practically the third protagonist of the story. He first appeared in ''Grand Order'' as a cameo in the first Christmas event, "Almost Weekly Santa Alter," and had his proper debut as part of the White Day event that followed the second Valentine's Day event. Curiously, he did not participate during the France chapter despite a number of other ''Apocrypha'' alumni having significant roles. He later appears in Agartha as a main ally.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Bradamante addresses him as "A-chan".
* AmbiguousGender: In terms of gameplay, he isn't flagged with a gender because he has a skill that prevents even a Ruler from being able to tell. That being said, he very much identifies as male and prefers male pronouns.
* AntiMagic: Astolfo has forgotten the True Name of his magical grimoire, but just having it on his person grants him immunity to the vast majority of magical spells, and even a degree of protection against Command Spells. When he remembers its True Name, "Casseur di Logistilla: Destruction Declaration", reading from the grimoire allows him to cancel ''any'' magical spell or effect, with the exception of Reality Marbles.
* AtrociousAlias: He disguises himself in a SailorFuku in the Nightless City during the Agartha pseudo-singularity, and when he gets caught by the Nightless Assassin's forces he declares himself as "Sailor Paladin." Chevalier d'Eon has no choice but to follow in his silly footsteps as "Maid Knight."
* BadassAdorable: He's cute, very girly, and also a fairly good fighter.
* BalanceBuff: His third skill got a buff to give it a 50% NP charge at Lv. 10, making it easier for him to use his NP without having to rely on his low NP generation.
* BareYourMidriff: The pink SailorFuku he dons during "Woman of Agartha" doesn't bother to cover the abdomen area.
* {{Bishonen}}: Has a [[DudeLooksLikeALady girly]] and cutesy appearance to him, complete with a slender build, a feminine dress code, and a reputation for being "[[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman beautiful beyond compare]]".
* BigEater: In his Interlude, the party decides to camp out since Astolfo had [[NoSenseOfDirection gotten lost]] anyway. He immediately demands curry, and the protagonist is all-too-happy to oblige even as Mash reminds Astolfo that as a Servant he doesn't outright ''need'' to eat. He ends up eating the entirety of the emergency rations.
* BizarreInstrument: "La Black Luna: Magic Flute That Calls Panic", one of his Noble Phantasms. When not in use it simply looks like a small horn, but when activated it turns much larger and grows [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/3/36/La_Black_Luna.png/revision/latest?cb=20121214191218 a crazy-looking bunch of pipes]], becoming a [[MakeMeWannaShout weapon of sonic destruction]] said to sound like a roaring dragon. He uses it in Agartha to counter the deafening Amazons' battle cry.
* BladeOnAStick: "Trap of Argalia: Down With A Touch!", a lance that can force an opponent to kneel simply by touching them with it, is his primary weapon as a Rider. However, it does need to contact with the body or at least armor of his opponent. Striking their weapon is not enough to activate the effect. In this game, however, he only uses it for attacking, the forced kneeling ability is instead a skill that can stun an enemy.
* BornLucky: Luck Rank A+.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Near the end of his Interlude, he yoinks Oda Nobunaga's "it can't be helped!" CatchPhrase:
--> "Well, if he's a fake, it can't be helped! [[VerbalTic (Nobbu!)]]"
* BraidsOfAction: Being a long-haired knight, naturally he's gotta have a braid!
* ButtMonkey: During his EarlyBirdCameo in the first Christmas event, he gets no respect from friend or enemy alike because he didn't show up in Orleans to fight. Santa Alter even tells him he's not getting any presents for it before finally throwing a pumpkin in his face as she and the protagonist take off, which d'Eon takes to mean that he won't show up until next year's Halloween.
* CallingYourAttacks: Besides the everyday, normal invocations of his Noble Phantasm, he also has the brilliant idea to call out "Astolfo PUNCH!" in his Interlude.
* CatchPhrase: Has a tendency to deliver a cutesy "Yahoo!" when greeting others.
* CoyGirlishFlirtPose: For his idle stance.
* CuteLittleFangs: Oddly, they appear skin-colored. He's not any sort of being that would normally have fangs; they're just there to make him look cute and mischievous.
* TheDitz: Weaponized. One of his skills, Evaporation of Sanity, gives him something akin to a sixth sense in combat similar to Eye of the Mind or Instinct from his complete lack of common sense. In Agartha, even he knows that he's not quite the "[[{{Malaproper}} sharpest bulb in the toolbox]]," and earlier he calls the pirates of Ys "tropical river pirates of the high seas" based on the Rider of the Resistance's description of them.
--> '''d'Eon:''' "Urk! Everything about that was wrong! And to make matters worse, he doesn't even care!"
* DudeLooksLikeALady: He can easily be mistaken for a girl. In fact, in Agartha when the Resistance is taking ships up the rivers to launch a surprise attack on the Amazons, him wearing his SailorFuku is enough to make the men all stare at him "like some sort of sea goddess".
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears during the first Christmas event four months before becoming a playable Servant. Everyone there admonishes him for not showing up in Orleans to help Jeanne and Siegfried defend his own country, and Santa Alter gives him a pumpkin from the first Halloween event, which as d'Eon states is supposed to represent he'll have to wait until the next year's Halloween event to be playable.
* HeavySleeper: After devouring all the party's food in his Interlude, he immediately falls asleep in the middle of a sentence. It's implied that the Master and Mash then spend the entirety of the night talking about Mash's past, and Astolfo is fast asleep throughout.
* IconicOutfit: If anything, Astolfo as seen in this game is heavily associated with the sailor fuku he's shown wearing in Epic of Remnant, second only to his default outfit.
* {{Keet}}: Cute, talkative, upbeat, and feminine.
* LapPillow: The protagonist wakes up receiving one from Astolfo when the party is [[spoiler:washed away to the Dragon Palace underwater]] in Agartha. Since [[UsefulNotes/{{Bisexual}} it's Astolfo]], the romantic overtones are intentional.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: A braid damn near as long as Jeanne's, and yep, he is amazingly pretty.
* {{Lunacy}}: According to the Matter of France, Astolfo traveled to the Moon to retrieve Orlando's lost sanity; the Moon being the place where all things lost on Earth eventually end up. Within the ''Fate'' universe, this means that Astolfo's "lost sanity" is also located on the Moon, and if the Moon is no longer in the sky (because it is obscured or during a new moon) then he regains a lot of his reasoning and tactical thinking, to the point where he can remember the True Name of his magical grimoire.
* MasterOfNone: Astolfo is ''severely'' undertuned as a Servant in ''Grand Order'', and a notorious example of how bad stats can hinder the viability of a unit. While his HP and Strength stats are okay for a Rider, his NP Generation and Critical Star Generation stats are extremely low, not appropriately compensated by his skills, and his Attack Cards have a low number of hits per card. This makes it incredibly hard to use his Noble Phantasm or generate Critical Stars, making him especially weak for a Quick-orientated Servant. He later received a number of {{Balance Buff}}s that significantly increased the power and consistency of his Noble Phantasm, shifting his niche towards that of a wave-farming Rider.
* MotorMouth: Which, "through no fault of his own," inevitably leads him to say too much.
* MulticoloredHair: Downplayed, but he sports a streak of white hair on his pink hair.
* NiceGuy: Extremely nice to just about anyone.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Early in his Interlude, he gets completely lost. The protagonist expecting this to happen really hammers in how frequently this occurs.
* NotCompletelyUseless: His lance, "Trap of Argalia: Down With A Touch!" is fairly useless when used as a combat weapon, or at the least doesn't confer any special advantages that a regular lance could not provide. Its only magical ability is to force an opponent to kneel (or cause the lower legs of a Servant to vanish) with a single hit. In ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'', this niche ability was the key to defeating [[spoiler:Adam, who was invulnerable to damage so long as one foot was on the Earth.]]
* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Being a Rider-class Servant, one of his Noble Phantasms is a Hippogriff that he rides which belonged to his cousin and fellow Paladin Bradamante. Being a Phantasmal Beast, it also has the ability to [[SpaceMaster teleport itself and its rider to the Reverse Side of the World briefly]] to avoid attacks, which is represented in-game by his NP granting him an Evade buff after use. However, [[AwesomeButImpractical because overusing this ability drains Astolfo's Mana reserves rapidly]], the Evade buff only lasts for three attacks.
* PinkHeroine: Gender inverted; he is a Servant of Black whose image colour is rose pink.
* PluckyComicRelief: Actual literature fact, no less. He barely even gets mentioned in the stories most people associate with [[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Roland]], instead he gets starring roles in more light-hearted and fantasy adventure stories written during the Italian Renaissance.
* ThePollyanna: Described as being "eternally optimistic".
* RedBaron: 12th Paladin of Charlemagne.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Male example, fitting the "cheery and optimistic" subtype.
* SailorFuku: He wears a pink one during "Woman of Agartha" to infiltrate the Nightless City in Agartha.
* SayingTooMuch: Which quickly leads to maximum awkwardness. It's a side effect of his Deprivation of Sanity skill. He simply cannot be trusted to keep secrets (Even things like True Names or Noble Phantasms) without accidentally blabbing. On the plus side it acts like Instinct in battle, letting him pick the best course of action in a fight.
* ShapedLikeItself: Astolfo manages to give a non-answer if you ask him about his Likes and Dislikes in My Room:
--> [Likes]: "Things that I like? Everything! I like everything in the world except for the things I hate!"\\
[Dislikes]: "Things that I hate? Hmm, nothing. I like almost everything in this world!"
* SignatureHeadgear: His black ribbons, which he says are "an irresistible proof of friendship" that he used to restore peace between him and his ally [[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Orlando]].
* SitcomArchNemesis: To Jeanne, as they compete for the position of the most popular character in ''Apocrypha'' and beyond, and engage in silly bickering to do so.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: In his Interlude, Astolfo tracks down Roland with the help of a horse and its rider describing how Roland had messed with them. Astolfo directly asks, "mister horse, do you know where the naked guy who rode you went?" and the horse replies with a neigh that Astolfo translates as "Follow me." Regardless of whether or not he actually understood the horse, it does indeed lead the party the right way.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: In Agartha, Astolfo is the wise guy to d'Eon's StraightMan as the pair are the master's Chaldean-native escorts. Astolfo will be playing with Fou, flirting with the master, or cracking jokes while d'Eon remains professional and diligent as a bodyguard.
* TraumaButton: PlayedForLaughs in Agartha, where the Amazons threaten to enslave the men in the party and chain them up, Astolfo mentions with a disturbed expression he remembers something from his time in ''Apocrypha'', specifically how his Master Celenike wanted to do the same to him. [[note]]Maybe downplayed in the same time because in ''Apocrypha'', that wasn't the traumatizing event for Astolfo since he managed to endure said tortures and act like nothing ever happened without mind scar. The actual trauma was being put under three Command Spells to horribly mutilate Sieg because Celenike is a completely sadistic bitch, and followed up with almost dying because Mordred murdered Celenike right after, but that left him Master-less and about to vanish for good if it wasn't for Sieg taking up the mantle. Nothing of sorts happen during the whole Agartha Sub-Singularity.[[/note]]
* TheUnfettered:
** He does whatever he wants, when he wants. If he doesn't want to use up mana for an attack, he won't. If he thinks a course of action was a good one, despite everyone around him disagreeing, he'll say so.
** It is also the reason he's crossdressing despite not being transgender or anything similar: he likes cute things, and he finds his outfit cute. So he wears it and doesn't give a damn about what others think. This trope is the main reason he's described as Chaotic in spite of otherwise being a proud [[AlwaysLawfulGood paladin]].
* WardrobeMalfunction: Almost has one of these in Agartha while adjusting the skirt of his SailorFuku. d'Eon yells at him to stop because no one wants to see what he has under there, both for decency and the fact he would out their cover.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: He wears a skirt, garterbelt, and thigh-high stockings, which combined with his long hair makes him look very feminine. The reason he dresses like this is because it amused Roland and since Astolfo didn't mind, he decided to go for it.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: [[GenderInvertedTrope Male example]]; he is stated to be "beautiful beyond compare".
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Rose pink with a streak of white.
* ZettaiRyouiki:
** While in his armour, his thigh-highs go above his knees, but leave enough space for a fair amount of skin exposure between them and his plateskirt.
** In his Memories of Trifas outfit, his pantyhose goes above his knees and beyond to the point that there's no bare skin exposed below his skirt.

->''"Fufu, quite fortunate. You are, that is. Bartholomew Roberts. I have come in response to your summons. Now then, let us devote ourselves to the deeds of a pirate in an orderly manner."''
The most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy who is said to have plundered 400 ships throughout the Carribean Sea. He's known to be a bold, charismatic and fearless captain and loves to wear fine clothing and jewelry. He was killed by grapeshot while he stood on deck. His crew conducted a burial at sea as his last request.\\\
He first debuts in "A Study in the Dubious Meiho-sou", claiming to have lost his memory and joins up with Chaldea's film project under the name of "Salazar", the character he plays. It's not until the fourth anniversary special that he first becomes playable. He also appears in Lostbelt No. 5: Atlantis as an ally.
----
* AffablyEvil: While almost relentlessly genial and courteous, he's still a ''pirate'', and one of history's most prolific, no less.
* AlphaStrike: He commands his ships to surround and fire cannons at enemies in his Noble Phantasm.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Since he was born in Wales, it is hard to tell if he either has really dark tan or if he is naturally dark-skinned. ''A General History of the Pyrates'' describes him having a dark complexion.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's very handsome in a pretty boy-sense, with a slender figure and not-too rugged face.
* ChivalrousPervert: Polite, friendly, always helpful, and really, ''really'' outspoken about his fetishes. He could honestly give Blackbeard himself a run for his money in that regard, but he presents himself a lot better.
* CriticalHitClass: {{Inverted}}. His skill set encourages him to help generate crit stars, but his second skill helps him reduce his own star absorption, enabling his allies higher chances to use them instead. Given his class is Rider, which are high star stealers, this makes him someone who works best ''without'' critical stars for himself, but instead provide them.
* TheDandy: Quite fussy about his appearance and badgers the protagonist about getting him new clothes in his ascension lines.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Salazar and his missing memories serve as a major driving force behind the Meiho-sou event, with Salazar himself receiving a good deal of focus in the process.
* DressedToPlunder: And gets moreso with each ascension.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Protagonist and Jeanne d'Arc Alter can't help but remember something Blackbeard told them during the 2018 summer event, where he described a pirate with an interest in girls with hair covering one eye. "Salazar" having an interest in Mash along with the sound of cannon fire serving as a trigger for his memories bring to mind the pirate in question: [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfPiracy Bartholomew Roberts]], his true identity.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler: Disappears towards the end of Atlantis after one hell of a naval chase scene, content with having carried Orion to the destination against Lostbelt Artemis.]]
* HasAType: Loses his train of thought if women with PeekABangs talk to him and immediately becomes slavishly devoted to their every word. His profile says that [[ExtremeOmnisexual he doesn't care about gender or if they are even human]], as long as they have bangs that cover one or both eyes, he is attracted to them.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Atlantis, he gives his all and burns himself out to get Orion in firing position against Lostbelt Artemis. Afterwards, [[GoOutWithASmile he fades away content with having carried hope to its destination.]]]]
* IdentityAmnesia: In the Meiho-sou event, he claims that he lost all of his memories, so he goes by the name "Salazar".
* NiceHat: Gains an impressive pirate hat for his 2nd and 3rd ascensions.
* NoodleIncident: He takes time in Atlantis to explain ''why'' he's so obsessed with bangs covering eyes to the protagonists, but it's an OrphanedPunchline that doesn't elucidate anything.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Salazar" is merely the name he took after his character in Murasaki's script. His real name is Bartholomew Roberts.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Gains an impressive one for his 3rd ascension.
* ShipperOnDeck: He admires Mash for her PeekABangs, but at the same time, he tells the protagonist to ''never'', ''ever'' lose such a wonderful girl from their side.
* SituationalSword: His Noble Phantasm has one of the strangest special damage targets in the game, which is that it does more damage against ''Bronze rarity'' enemies. The Noble Phantasm's description says that it can't reach its full power if the target is a famous captain or a military officer.
* StockholmSyndrome: How he got his start in piracy. Roberts originally was a second mate on a merchant ship who was taken prisoner in a pirate raid. He wound up getting on with the crew so well that, when the original captain died a mere six weeks later, they decided to make Roberts captain in his place.
* SwordAndGun: He wields a swords and a pistol in combat.
* SupportPartyMember: His skills are focused around providing support to Quick allies. His first skill increases damage and NP damage, his second skill buffs the parties crit damage and cuts off his star absorption for three turns so other allies can use them, and his third skill buffs Quick cards and provides stars. His support utility for his rarity makes him very useful.
* TraumaButton: During filming, he is made to act like he is having war flashbacks when hearing cannon fire. However, since Roberts was killed by cannon fire, it ends up returning his memories and causes his Spirit Origin to rapidly change until he becomes a giant ghost, forcing others to calm him down.
* YouRemindMeOfX: He notes that Mash reminds him of someone, specifically her eyes and hair.

->''"My name is Boudica, nice to meet you! Don't mind the formalities."''
[[UsefulNotes/{{Boudica}} A young warrior-queen]] of the British frontierlands that held off Roman might for decades before she was finally overwhelmed by Nero, after which she either killed herself to spare herself further disgrace or died of an illness. Her name has resurfaced in Victorian Britain as the "Queen of Victory". This version represents her younger, more idealistic self before being worn by Rome.\\\
She appears as an ally in Rome, serving as Nero's main general.
----
* AllLovingHero: She says if she could get a wish on the Holy Grail, she would wish that Britain would be peaceful and that everybody: the British, the faeries, the Celtic gods, and the people of different nations as well as their children would be able to laugh and live together in paradise.
* BadassCape: Third ascension decks her out with a really fancy one of white and red, complete with fur lining.
* BadassInCharge: Upon her husband's death, she was to be named inheritor to his title of chief of the Iceni tribe, only to be denied that title by the occupying Roman forces. Needless to say, she didn't let that stick for long, and led a revolution that left its impact on Britain and Rome for all of time. In Rome, she serves as a general in Nero's army and is respected by almost everyone.
* BalanceBuff: Her Oath of the Goddess was made into Queen of Victory via Rank Up Quest to now provide a party wide damage buff when fighting Romans and a crit damage buff for three turns. While this doesn't make her all that useful still, she can now be used for specific fights to provide extra damage against enemies with Roman traits and provide her allies with a flat damage buff.
* BerserkButton: She really hates Romans, especially Nero, for what they did to her family and people, though she is willing to grudgingly work with them against a greater threat.
* BigDamnHeroes: She shows up and uses her Noble Phantasm in conjunction with Mash's in order to save the party from being annihilated by Altera's Noble Phantasm near the end of Rome.
* CleavageWindow: Present throughout her entire Ascension line.
* CoolBigSis: Seems to act like and sometimes refers to herself as one. In the Rome segment this is especially prominent towards Mash, who she says [[YouRemindMeOfX reminds her of her little sister]]. It also doesn't help that when you look at it, their Noble Phantasms are almost virtually identical. In fact, according to her Materials, she acts like a Big Sister towards all British Servants, especially the Knights of the Round Table. Considering she’s the oldest known British Heroic Spirit, this kind of makes sense.
* CrutchCharacter: A weird and bizarre example of this and LethalJokeCharacter. While she can tank well with her high HP, Noble Phantasm and Battle Continuation can provide an excellent tanking against enemies that aren't Assassins, Alter Egos or Berserkers, along with her Interludes and Rank Up quests that improved her and with the release of Romulus-Quirinus, can hit hard as well. However, compared to Mash, who eventually gets an upgrade to her Noble Phantasm that provides both offensive and defensive buffs, but also has no deployment cost compared to Boudica, and later is outclassed by Mash in skills. That said, she's still a great damage dealer due her arts buffs and synchronization with Romulus-Quirinus, and while Mash does get nerfed to a rather unimpressive damage-tank in ''Cosmos In The Lostbelt'', she still retains enough utility to be useful.
* EnemyMine: In Rome, she states that the reason she's fighting for Rome and Nero, the very enemies she fought against in life, is because she sees the United Empire as something far worse.
* GreenEyedRedhead: Though like many Nasuverse characters, her eyes can also be viewed as either teal or aqua.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: She admits to Nero in Solomon that she can never forgive Rome for what they did to her daughters, her lands, and her people... but she also admits that in taking her revenge, [[NotSoDifferent she committed similar acts on many Roman men and women, particularly in Londinium]], so perhaps no one was truly innocent.
* {{Irony}}:
** Her first skill increases damage against enemies with the Roman trait, which includes Spartacus, who also fought against the Romans in life.
** Thanks to Romulus-Quirinus, who has the ability to turn enemies into Romans, one of Rome's greatest enemies pairs quite well on-paper with it's founder.
* JokeCharacter: Mechanically she's one of the worst characters - her first skill is even ''more'' situational than Siegfried's third even before the latter skill received a [[BalanceBuff Rank Up Quest]], and like him, the majority of enemies it can target (enemies with the Roman trait) are part of the three Knights class - who Boudica, a Rider-class, deals normal damage to[[note]]and even if you only look at Servants who naturally have the Roman trait that she has a class advantage against, she still loses out to Siegfried - he has 6 targets (both versions of Kiyohime, both versions of Lancer Artoria, Elisabeth Báthory, and Mysterious Heroine X Alter), whereas Boudica only has 3 (Caster Nero, Caligula, and Spartacus)[[/note]]. Her attack is very poor without her first skill, and while she does have a defense-based Noble Phantasm, high health, and the somewhat useful Battle Continuation, the lack of a Taunt skill and defense bonus pretty much make her a watered down version of Mash - who not only is the first servant you get in the game, but costs ''0 MP'' to use. Even if you take Mash out of the equation[[labelnote:spoiler note]][[spoiler:which does happen in the game during the Solomon Singularity]][[/labelnote]], she's still inferior to another Rider built to be a tank, St. George, who lacks the defensive NP, but more than makes up for it by having a Taunt Skill that doubles as a defense buff, and also has Battle Continuation - and he's a ''2 star''. Events treat her as a female version of Blackbeard, with the first Summer event having her swimsuit version be a 3-star CE, and the second one had her change class into an Avenger because while said CE was one of the more popular 3-stars, she didn't get a swimsuit version. Nobunaga even outright says that she needs to stop with reasoning like that or no one will ever take her seriously again (and noting she herself has long since given up any hope of being serious).
* LethalJokeCharacter: However, after the release of Romulus-Quirinus, her [[CripplingOverspecialization incredibly niche]] kit has skyrocketed in overall effectiveness because of his ability to pass the Roman trait onto enemies. Suddenly, her first skill which was entirely situational is now applicable all the time and the damage values on it are absurd, with a 60% ATK and 50% Crit Strength increase at max level for 3 turns for ALL allies after her BalanceBuff. This coupled with her 3 turn Arts Buff and her NP boosting ATK and Def and suddenly everyone, even Boudica herself, is capable of dealing high damage to the enemy. It is not hyperbole to say that she is far more useable now than she ever was, even in Septem.
* LegendaryWeapon: Her Sword of Boudica is actually a complete subversion. It's just a fancy sword, explicitly pointed out to NOT have properties like Excalibur's. It can fire bolts of energy, but they're not that impressive. It's not holy or made by fairies, it doesn't have a promise of victory, or anything amazing. All its power comes from Boudica's own belief that her sword will bring her victory.
* LoveConfession: Her bond five line has her stating that she doesn't hate the protagonist before reprimanding herself for speaking so unclearly and coming out and saying that she loves them, both as a Master and person.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: More of a buckler in her case.
* MamaBear: Definitely qualifies as this, considering her backstory. When Rome denied her the inheritance of tribal leadership following her husband's death, then publicly flogged her and raped her daughters, she responded by uniting the other tribes of Britannia and leading a revolution that nearly pushed the Romans out of their territory. Her forces razed Londinium (what is now modern-day London) with such ferocity that there are still scorch marks four metres below London, which archaeologists refer to as "The Boudica Destruction Layer." To say she is not to be trifled with is an understatement.
* MarshmallowHell: Briefly subjects Mash to this upon declaring herself [[CoolBigSis her sister]] in Rome.
* MasterOfNone: A victim of early game bad design. She's specialized in fighting Romans and being a defensive support Servant, but she's the wrong class to fight the largely knight class Romans, she doesn't have the stats to pull it off anyway and her support options are pretty weak. Namely, once her NP upgrade rolled around people floated the idea that maybe she could be a budget Mash since their [=NPs=] have very similar effects, only to realize that she can hardly be budget Mash when she uses ''more'' cost. As a result, for a while she was generally considered to be a contender for worst Servant in the game let alone for her rarity. After her BalanceBuff and, much more importantly, the eventual release of Romulus-Quirinus, this no longer holds true since at the very least, she cannot be considered nearly as bad as Servants like Phantom or Caster!Gilles.
* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Victory".
* MyGreatestFailure: States that part of the reason she fights to protect Rome may have to do with her guilt for the deaths of the innocents in Londinium and she seeks to spare Rome's citizens a similar fate.
* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: Has Battle Continuation, which manifests as [[BackFromTheDead resurrection]] after taking a lethal hit in the game.
* NotAfraidToDie: In "Dead Heat Summer Race," during a GameOfChicken race to the mouth of a volcano, she declares she doesn't care if she dies as long as she wins. She wins by driving her chariot into the volcano itself, but Nero saves her from falling in.
* NotCompletelyUseless: The release of Romulus-Quirinus and his ability to impart the Roman trait onto enemies turns her into a very potent party damage support with her first skill.
* OfCorsetsSexy: From her second ascension card onwards. Before that she is wearing what appears to be a [[{{Stripperiffic}} bikini]] and sleeves.
* PowerCreep: She was never ''good'', but she's the go-to example for why early-game Servants tend to be really bad or at least required a lot of buffs to make them workable. Newer Servants tend to have much more synergy in their kits and less terrible SituationalSword abilities.
* PsychologicalProjection: In "Dead Heat Summer Race", she reveals she assumed the other British Servants like Altria Alter hate the Romans just like she does. She is thrown for a loop when Altria Alter says she has nothing against the Romans.
* RageBreakingPoint: PlayedForLaughs in "Dead Heat Summer Race," and Boudica herself is treated zigzaggedly serious. The reason why she changed from a nice older sister Servant to a furious Avenger this time is because [[BreakingTheFourthWall she's angry that she was a mere 3* Craft Essence last Summer event and still doesn't have a swimsuit version]]. She also brings up her historic past against Nero and the Romans and the loss of her daughters and land, but the sheer length of the swimsuit rant (and her apologies later for bringing up old history) shows that ''this'' is what triggered her transformation.
--> "I was told to wear a swimsuit and sit in a hammock, where numerous photos were then taken of me! I was a little embarrassed, but I agreed because I thought it would make everyone happy. And when I was then told that the resulting photos were some of the more popular 3* entries, I dared to believe that when this year's summer event rolled around... I might even get a playable swimsuit version of myself!"
* RapunzelHair: From third ascension onward she has waist-length hair. Her Arcade incarnation was also given a wearable costume that gives her a modified appearance: it's her second ascension's appearance, but has the long hair of her third, and gives her the hair flowers she has in her Formal Outfit.
* RetiredMonster:
** There's a notable discrepancy between her Servant personality and the account of living witnesses in Rome. The Boudica as Servant is notably a kind-hearted older sister type who tends the wounds of her hated enemies, while the Boudica Nero remembers was the barbarian queen whose shadow was so large for the Roman, Nero doesn't even realized she already died several years prior Septem storyline. Most telling is her Noble Phantasm; the wheels of her chariot, AKA the dreaded [[SpikedWheels Boudica Spikes]], are used to shield her comrades, not to maim her enemies. It is hinted that the stark difference is because of the nature of Heroic Spirits which makes them AllPowerfulBystander by default because their 'story' as a hero ended by their death, thus old revenge is below them. She's also rather ashamed that [[HeWhoFightsMonsters in the end she invited the very same injustices on otherwise-innocent Romans in the name of vengeance]].
** That said, she has several lines that imply she still has hard feelings against Nero and that if the United Empire [[EnemyMine wasn't a bigger threat]] she'd be right back to fighting her during the Rome singularity. It's implied her vengeance towards the Romans qualifies her for the Avenger class. Her lines in "Garden of Order" show her darker emotions of fury at the Romans.
---> "I won't go back. There's no place for me to go back to. That's because... everything... YOU TOOK EVERYTHING. We were the king's only family. My daughter and I were all he had. That's why I was going to inherit the throne... Yet I was told women have no right to inheritance... YOU BASTARDS! YOU ROMANS TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! I had forgotten. I tried to distract myself with the cause of "saving humanity." However... this anger. This hatred. This vengeance... I won't let anybody get in my way, no matter who it is!"
* SituationalSword: Even worse than Siegfried, who at least has a damaging NP, the occasional Lancer Dragon to work with and post-[[BalanceBuff Rank Up Quests]] is competent even outside his niche. She has a skill that lets her deal extra damage to Romans, but since most of them are knight classes this is pretty much worthless with only Nero Summer and Caligula being weak to her. And since she has no damaging NP and BAAQQ deck, she's not much good for that either. To add insult to injury, Nero Summer has a skill that removes her class disadvantages, so Boudica has still a hard time to fight her arch-nemesis. To put this in perspective, when the skill was finally buffed, it was made into a ''party-wide'' buff.
* SquareRaceRoundClass: From a story perspective, she doesn't really seem to hit in the Rider class, something brought up in several different events. She uses her infamous SpikedWheels for defense rather than offense, and is more friendly and cheerful then one with her infamy in history would lead you to believe. Its been hinted several times she actually would be at her best as an Avenger, but doing so would make her the vengeful person history documented her as, implying she is purposely limiting herself.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's one of the game's tallest female characters at 174 cm, and has an impressive figure. [[MarshmallowHell All the better for hugging Mash!]]
* StoneWall: She has high HP, her Noble Phantasm gives the party a two layer defensive buff that lasts for one and three turns respectively (and after being upgraded will provide an attack buff for three turns), and her Battle Continuation skill means she can quickly bounce back from a fatal hit. On the other hand, she has low attack and an incredibly situational skill that only provides bonus damage against Roman enemies (which only mostly appear in Rome and come in one of the three Knight classes).
* {{Stripperific}}: Her first ascension outfit lacks any kind of protection for her lower body and leaves very little to your imagination.
* SwordBeam: Not part of her animations in-game, but her profile in the Materials book says she can do this with her second Noble Phantasm, Sword of Boudica. Unlike other examples in ''Fate'' such as Excalibur, hers are small mana bullets like something out of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''.
* SupremeChef:
** She is very good at cooking as mentioned during the Valentine event by Shakespeare and EMIYA, and her chocolate gift is an ''entire cake'' that she originally meant to share with others before giving the entire thing to the protagonist. Even Altera went to her for help for making chocolate.
** In Septem, she was responsible for the soldier's meals, and she's one of the staff members of Chaldea's kitchen, which also include EMIYA, Tamamo Cat and Raikou.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Boudica, [[MasterOfNone for all of her many faults from a gameplay perspective,]] has always been useful against Roman enemies. This has meant that certain types of quests make her useful such as the fight against Romulus in Battle of New York.
** This is taken UpToEleven in Lostbelt 5 Part 2 in the fight against [[spoiler: Zeus because you have a forced story-support in Romulus Quirinus and have to have Mash in your front line. The fight itself is very gimmick-based, with a player needing to take out two bow-like extensions. While Romulus can deal a lot of damage, he's a bit of a GlassCannon because of how much damage Zeus can deal out and while Mash receives minimal damage, her offense is so poor that a bad hand could cause a Master to fail to take out a bow-like extensions in time. However, Boudica's Arts buff and party-wide anti-Roman damage after her BalanceBuff really helps boosts Mash's offense especially since Romulus Quirinus will frequently be applying the Roman trait to the enemy. And Boudica's NP will add additional defense to keep Romulus Quirinus alive.]] Other supports work too of course but Boudica is a very friendly option for free-to-play Master since all players are likely to have her at this point.
* YoungerAndHipper: Nero claimed she might be younger than the barbarian queen she remembered. Boudica herself insists to be a CoolBigSis instead of a MamaBear.

The vampire countess realized that unlike her younger self Elisabeth, she lacks her own castle. So in order to get herself money to buy one, she used her beauty to pose as a summer celebrity at day, as well as her wits and sneakiness to be a phantom thief named "Mistress C" at night.\\\
One of the summer Servants for the fourth Summer event.
----
* BerserkButton: She strictly follows her code of elegance and manners, so she doesn't take overly brash women like Drake very well.
* CallingCard: She has a simple red card with a stylized Doberman and her title. A unique sound cue plays to emphasize it as her signature warning.
* CanineCompanion: She's accompanied by two Dobermans, though her second and third ascensions reveal that they're actually {{Robot Dog}}s with both Mecha-Elisabeths' coloration.
* CarFu: Her Noble Phantasm is her Iron Maiden revamped, now named "Testarossa Maiden" to be her getaway car, which she uses to run over enemies.
* CriticalHitClass: All over the place. For starters, she's a Rider with the naturally highest Critical Star Gather weight, and she has high hitcounts on a Quick-leaning card deck. Her first skill debuffs an enemy's Critical Resistance (effectively, an up-to-50% critical damage buff against this one target) and conjures a burst of Critical Stars. Her second skill decreases a single enemy's own chance to critically hit. Her Noble Phantasm debuffs all foes' Quick resistance, meaning the entire party's Quick cards create more Stars, do more damage, and generate more NP gauge. She even has two passives, with a ''buffed'' Presence Concealment increasing Critical Star Drop Rate and Independent Action buffing critical damage.
* FemmeFataleSpy: She's posed like a female agent who lurks at night, although she is actually a phantom thief.
* LifeDrain: Her Mistress C skill allows her to drain health from all enemies and then heal her, the first playable Servant to be able to do so.
* LighterAndSofter: It's clear that Carmilla has mellowed out ''immensely'' since joining Chaldea. Not only is her My Room and ascension dialogue lacking her usual sadistic tone, she starts very casual before becoming coyly affectionate. She's very obviously in love by Bond 4.
* LittleUselessGun: Carmilla uses a very short pistol.
* MarilynManeuver: She does this in the Las Vegas Tournament trailer, though she expresses little emotion at the wind suddenly lifting her dress up.
* NiceHat: She wears a large hat that complements her night dress.
* NoblewomansLaugh: She laughs "Ohohoho!" before making fun of Elisabeth and her ChainmailBikini.
* PhantomThief: She decided to reinvent herself as one for the summer, committing several thieveries in Las Vegas.
* PunnyName: CAR-milla anyone?
* ShesAllGrownUp: Mysterious Alter Ego Λ's reaction to her in My Room. Λ is shocked to learn that Elisabeth's grown-up version is such an elegant and fashionable lady.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After being overshadowed by Elisabeth in almost any event they appeared in, she finally gets one over on her by getting a swimsuit variant before her, and she's ''very'' happy about it.

->''"My goodness! What a coincidence! Fahaha! Blackbeard has come to see you! Green is the enemy!"''
Edward Teach, better known as "UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}}", was probably the most notorious pirate in the world, with records of his acts of savagery throughout the West Indies striking fear to sailor and pirate alike, even his own men. It took a surprise attack from the Royal Navy to finally put an end to his reign of terror, with the dreaded pirate defiant to the bitter end.\\\
He's an antagonist in the Third Singularity: Sealed Ends of the Four Seas Okeanos and a minor "[[TheFriendNobodyLikes ally]]" in the first Summer event, "Chaldea Summer Memory". He also sneaks into the first half of the second Summer event, "Dead Heat Summer Race."
----
* BadassCrew: His ship, ''Queen Anne's Revenge'', gets stronger when boarded by heroes. With more heroes boarding the ship, its reputation as ''the'' most fearsome vessel in the world becomes more assured and the ship as the Noble Phantasm will gain a popularity boost according to this. With Eric, Bonny, Read, and Hektor as its crew, ''Queen Anne's Revenge'' is stronger than the ''Golden Hind''; that's a C rank NP being stronger than an A+ rank NP.
* BareFistedMonk: He uses his fists, and a ''wicked''-looking hook after second ascension.
* BeardOfBarbarism: Although replacing barbarism with piracy.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He is the most famous of all pirates, no matter how much of a dork he can be, and can prove to be a fearsome opponent. Except in the comedy-based events, where his main role is to be the ButtMonkey of the cast.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He gains a wrist-mounted hook in his first ascension.
* BoringButPractical: Love him or hate him, Teach fills a very specific and niche spot as an [=AoE=] Buster NP Servant in a class where the number of said types of Riders can be counted nearly on one hand. He can buff the parties NP damage and attack, buff his own as well as provide himself Guts, and heal allies. All of this from a low rarity Servant. If you missed out getting Altria Alter (Santa), he's the most readily available Servant to fill this niche.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When the party learns the amnesiac Bartholomew Roberts' true identity, Moriarty comments that if they had Blackbeard with them, he could have identified Bart right away since they knew each other. Tristan points out that wouldn't have worked; since he only cares about women, he never bothers to remember men's faces.
* ButtMonkey: While not without his strengths, he's more or less the game's Dan Hibiki during the main story and side events. By the third iteration of "Nero Fest", he's paired up with Hektor and instead of getting a formidable moniker like every other squad, their team is named ''Enjoy Nero Fest'' and then put on the very bottom rung of the tournament's preliminaries.
* ComboPlatterPowers: He's this trope during the initial release of the game. His Voyager of the Storm Skill (also shared by Drake and Columbus) has traits of Charisma and Military Tactics. Pirate's Honor, a Skill he shares with Anne Bonny and Mary Read, combines Bravery with Battle Continuation. [[{{Powercreep}} As the game progressed]], combining weaker Skills together like this became commonplace to the point of being hardly noticeable.
* ComedicLolicon: His interest in little girls like Illya is mostly played for laughs and he never actually does anything besides proclaim how much he loves little girls and would like to meet them. The closest he's ever come to actually doing anything physical is in the first Summer event with Mary Read and he's easily repelled by the others. This personality quirk might be caused by [[InJoke a myth that Edward Teach's wife, Mary Ormond, was 14 years old when they married]]. However, there isn't any historical evidence supporting this.
* CoolBoat: His Noble Phantasm, [[MoreDakka Queen Anne's Revenge]]: Revenge of Queen Anne.
* TheCorrupter: Parodied during "Garden of Order" where he turns Anne Bonny and Mary Read into lazy, slobbish shut-ins after introducing them to the cheap, sedentary thrills of the internet.
* DirtyOldMan: He harasses Mash and Euryale with his eyes and his reason for getting the Grail is dubious.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Blackbeard is set up to be the main scourge of the Okeanos segment of the game, but is defeated and stands down halfway through the segment, being replaced as an antagonist by [[spoiler:Jason.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:He doesn't seem too upset at all as he dies in Okeanos despite being betrayed by Hektor. In fact, he's rather jovial through his LastWords, laughing about how he got to keep his head and flirting with Drake.]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Pretty much everybody in Okeanos treats him without respect, including his own crew. Anne Bonny & Mary Read in particular think he's a perverted idiot and more than once express their desire to kill him or get killed just to be done with him (though they give him the half-assed compliment he's not "the worst" captain they've had to put up with), and Eric [[TheBerserker is too crazy to really care]]. Hektor is the only one who's actually sane and somewhat respects him, if only [[ObfuscatingStupidity because he respected Blackbeard's hidden craftiness in keeping his Grail safe]]. [[spoiler:Not even [[EvenEvilHasStandards the Demon Pillars, the ones enacting the whole incineration-of-humanity plot, think of him as anything but trash]].]]
* FriendToAllChildren: Besides his [[ComedicLolicon unabashed and somewhat creepy love]] of girls who are OlderThanTheyLook (a la Mary, Euryale, and Helena), he really likes actual children, which unfortunately gets him MistakenForPedophile by the protagonist. One of the more wholesome displays of this trope is in the Christmas Craft Essence Snow Pirates, where Blackbeard dressed in a snowman outfit is happily chasing around and playing with Bunyan and the (less-pleased) Assassin of Nightless City. Mary, however, is still as antagonistic as ever towards Blackbeard in the background.
* TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson: His references come out of nowhere.
* GreenEyedMonster: He conscripts Spartacus and Mephistopheles to wage war on "normies" during the first Valentine's Day event because he didn't receive any chocolates. (In the Japanese, this was against "riajuus", which is a term that explicitly refers to people with fulfillment in real life, ie., a significant other. "Go explode, riajuu!" is a Japanese internet meme, thus his "NORMIES EXPLODE!")
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: During his Valentine's Day cutscene, he is vertically bisected by Altera when he attempts to share his private collection of "photo books" with the protagonist.
* HaremSeeker: His reason for getting the grail is this.
* HiddenDepths: If Semiramis' doves are to be believed, Teach wrote an avant-garde science fiction novel that became a number one best-seller.
* HonorAmongThieves: Seems to be implied with one of his Personal Skills, Honor of Pirates.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: While he normally targets girls, it's implied that he's attracted to Astolfo and [[AmbiguousGender d'Eon]]. His third skill has a bonus heal on female Servants, which also works on both Astolfo and d'Eon (keep in mind that due to their in game genders, they aren't usually affected by things that would only affect females), and when both of them are in a schoolgirl outfit and a maid outfit respectively [[spoiler:and they are trying to conceal their true names in the Nightless Castle by calling out ridiculous names for themselves]] the protagonist has the option of asking Mash to send a recording to Blackbeard. Due to Blackbeard's Otaku status, it was probably an intentional reference to the Otokonoko genre. While the skill works on other Genderless Servants besides Qin Shi Huang (who is male in a genderless body), the other Servants are more geared towards being female[[note]]Enkidu has NoBiologicalGender, Avenger Nobunaga's gender confusion only revolves around Kippoushi, Dioscuri are a SiblingTeam and Caenis is at the very least summoned in a female body[[/note]].
* InSeriesNickname: During Okeanos, Mash refers to him as "Mistah Blackbeard" after he introduces himself as such.
* LastChanceHitPoint: Pirate's Honor gives him an Attack Buff, decreases his Mental Debuff Resistance, and gives him an ''infinite'' Guts. If that last effect is activated, however, he will be revived with only 1 single hit point no matter how high the Skill is leveled.
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:While dying, he asks Drake to hold him until he finally dies. She obliges. This is changed in the English version to them bantering together as he dies.]]
* MadeOfIron: As stated above, he's got an A rank in Endurance. He's so confident in his durability that he offers to be Altria Lily's training dummy for her Noble Phantasm training during "Saber Wars" (with [[DirtyOldMan perverted ulterior motives]], of course). To his credit, he manages to get back up after being [[GroinAttack hit in the groin]] by Lily's Caliburn ''twice in a row''.
* MightyGlacier: Stats-wise, with an E-ranked Agility and the rest of his physical stats clocking in at B+ for Strength and A for Endurance.
* MoreDakka: Summoning ''Queen Anne's Revenge'' allows him to devastate his opponents with a barrage of cannonfire.
* MotorMouth: He can talk really fast at times. Usually when saying something ridiculous.
* NoShirtLongJacket: After getting a coat in his third ascension stage.
* ObfuscatingStupidity:
** He's definitely weird, but it's implied at several points he intentionally plays it up to keep people from taking him seriously as a threat. Hektor himself praises him in Okeanos for always keeping the Grail on his person and always having one hand on a gun, to the point he had to wait until Blackbeard was at death's door fighting the protagonist to finally steal it off him.
** He also appears during Rider of the Resistance's Interlude, [[spoiler:where he's present amongst Moriarty and Mephistopheles as the 'villains group' that Columbus is a part of and confessed his two-faced nature with. Considering this is [[BitchInSheepsClothing Columbus]] we're talking about, Blackbeard seems to be ''really'' good in this trope.]]
* OffWithHisHead:
** He mentions during Okeanos that this was how he died in real life. [[spoiler:When he does die in Okeanos, he's rather happy about keeping it this time.]]
** It actually happens to him again in "[=ServaFes=] 2018" when he makes the mistake of sneaking up on Ushiwakamaru. He's able to activate Pirate's Honor in time and survives, confusing everyone who saw his head go flying.
* OrnamentalWeapon: He is stated to wield a gun just like pirates do, however his artwork doesn't depict him possessing one nor he does use one for his in-game attacks outside of the ''Arcade'' spin-off.
* {{Otaku}}: Enjoys looking at cute girls a bit too much, his interlude is about looking for {{Doujinshi}} at Pirate Comiket, he speaks like he's typing on ImageBoards, and then there's his stage 4 art. No one, not even his profile, is quite sure of where that comes from. Even his Valentine presents are explicit doujin!
* RedBaron: Blackbeard, it being his most famous moniker and what people tend to remember him as.
* RedemptionDemotion: Mash grumbles that while he was a troublesome enemy, he became a nigh-useless ally once he was actually summoned to Chaldea. Blackbeard wholeheartedly agrees with her in "Saber Wars".
* SillinessSwitch: His Stage 4 artwork is this in spades. As he goes from the downright intimidating Stage 3 artwork to playing with figures of Mash and Marie.
* SupportPartyMember: In practice he functions better as a buffer since his skills include an Attack and NP Buff as well as a heal that has bonus effect on females (as well as other certain other characters).
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: His ''Arcade'' version utilises explosives with his combos.
* TheUnfought: Inverted during Kara no Kyoukai - you have to fight him as a part of the fight against Anne Bonny and Mary Reed, but he's presented as a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere - he's mentioned during the cutscene, but he doesn't appear at all outside of the fight.
* UnroboticReveal: His cameo in "Dead Heat Summer Race" is supposedly as a mere robot with Blackbeard's personality uploaded to be a beauty judge. His verbose rants on swimsuit exposure and [[ComedicLolicon obvious biases]] anger most of the ladies enough that he predictably gets attacked and revealed as the same old Blackbeard just wearing a suit of armor pretending to be a robot.
* TrueLoveIsExceptional: His BelligerentSexualTension with Drake actually seems more serious than his [[ComedicLolicon lolicon thing]], and she's [[GagBoobs very much]] not his usual type. He repeatedly brings this up as a diss against her, but he's clearly just hiding his true feelings. [[CrazyJealousGuy The fact that he pulls out a dagger]] on when Bartholomew makes a move on Drake on the former's My Room Dialogue only furthers this.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Even after getting a BadassLongcoat in his third ascension artwork, he still bares his chest.

->''"I am Europa. How do you do? Ahh, let's see... right, what was it again... Ri.. Riden... That's right, Riden! I have materialized under the Riden class--yes, what is it, Talos? Hm... that's wrong? It's not Riden, but Rider? Oh my, ahem, once again... I am Europa, materialized under the Rider class. I am one of the concubines of Lord Zeus. Nice to meet you, Master of Chaldea."''
A young woman who Zeus lured by turning into a white bull and motioning her onto his neck, before he swam her to the Isle of Crete, and then (depending on the source of the myth) either made love to her or raped her, leading her to mother three of his sons. Although assisted by a white bull normally, her Noble Phantasm also has her summon the guardian of Crete, Talos.\\\
She debuted in the gacha for Lostbelt No. 5: Atlantis, and appears in Olympus.
----
* AdaptationalConsent: Unlike many myths, here she was not raped by Zeus.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In Olympus, she was brainwashed by Zeus to attack the protagonist against her will.
* BrutishBulls: One of her Noble Phantasms is Chionis Tauros: Beloved White Bull, which is the main reason why she is a Rider. Originally a hunting dog, she wanted it to appear more like how Zeus looked like when the two first met. Tauros is constantly active, protecting Europa as she rides on the bull's back.
* ChoosingNeutrality: While originally summoned as a Servant of Proper Human History, upon arriving at Olympus she comes face to face with Zeus, who begs her to [[FusionDance fuse]] with the dying Hera just so he can still have his wife live and love her, while also being able to love Europa. In exchange, Europa would be permitted to retain her consciousness and individuality, and just have to sit on the sidelines. She agrees to it and spends most of her time in the garden rather than picking either side, though Talos is unfortunately taken to be used for the forces of Olympus.
* ClosetKey: Zeus helped Europa realise that she has a specific bestiality fetish involving bulls.
* CompositeCharacter: Talos originally wasn't as gigantic as it currently is. Its size is the result of later legends confusing it with the Colossus of Rhodes.
* CuddleBug: She enjoys giving hugs to everyone she considers a son, daughter, granddaughter, or grandson (which is to say everyone from Europe). She's especially doting on children and immediately rushes to give them all a big hug before running to get them candies and treats.
* DamselInDistress: She was kidnapped by Limbo when he found out she was helping the protagonist against Zeus and brought her to him for some questioning.
* DotingGrandparent: Similar to Romulus priding himself as the progenitor of all Romans, she considers herself the grandmother of all Europeans, and she's loving to non-Europeans as well, seeing them as friends to her grandchildren. She treats Asclepius with kindness and considers him one of her grandchildren despite them not being blood related, while being especially doting on Asterios, since he's something akin to a grandson to her through King Minos.
* DumbBlonde: She's a bit air-headed, forgetting what class she's been summoned into and initially comes to the conclusion that she's a "Riden-class" Servant until Talos corrects her.
* FingerFirearms: Talos can fire giant bullets from the tip of his fingers, though he only does it when he is fought on his own.
* TheFool: Europa reacts to most situations by either smiling gently, behaving with levity or drowsing off, even if a beast or a giant would appear before her or being kidnapped by a god. However, it is this that what made Hera not be sure if Europa even perceives reality normally, allowing her to avoid her wrath and get multiple gifts from Zeus.
* FriendToAllChildren: If you have any short, young or Lily servants, she's overwhelmed by how cute they are and wants to hug them and even cook them a meal.
* FusionDance: In Olympus, Zeus fused the remains of Hera (who was heavily damaged from their civil war and deemed dead) into her so he could keep loving Hera while she's "alive" and keep Europa around him at the same time, in exchange Europa could keep her consciousness and her identity.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: During her DualBoss battle when she and Talos are fought separately, if Talos goes down first, Europa will suffer permanent NP seal and her Buster attack animations will be disabled as she no longer have Talos to execute them.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Europa has blonde hair and is extremely kind in her My Room lines.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Her My Room lines show she's very aware that she's not a very powerful Heroic Spirit on her own and her power comes from Talos and Tauros.
* HumongousMecha: Her main offensive power comes in controlling Talos, the guardian of Crete, who is effectively a giant metal automaton that crushes foes with the sheer weight of his arms or legs or firing giant laser beams.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Like Caesar, her profile states her name is pronounced as "E-oo-ro-pe" in Greek and "Yo-ro-pa" in English.
* KidWithTheRemoteControl: Unlike most other Riders, who are warriors specializing in mounted combat, all of Europa's fighting power comes from Tauros, the mechanical bull she rides, and Talos. As a result, all of her attack animations have her siccing them on her foes rather than attacking directly.
* LikeASonToMe: Her final bond line reveals that she considers the protagonist and Mash as her grandchildren and is protective of them as a result. Her My Room lines reveal she essentially considers every European Servant the protagonist has as her grandchildren and Zeus' children as her children due to her relationship with him. She specially states she sees Orion (Superhuman) as her son-in-law/son due to his relationship with Artemis.
* MaamShock: Averted; unlike Circe, she's perfectly fine being called grandmother by Asterios and even asks he call her that when he retorts they're not blood-related.
* MagicMusic: She plays a lyre to call down [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] and control Talos.
* NiceGirl: Her My Room lines are filled with her being kind and loving to every Servant, and she doesn't want to talk about her dislikes out of fear of it actually happening.
* NonActionGuy: She admits that she has little to no combat power on her own and relies on Tauros and Talos, lamenting that if it weren't for them, the only thing she could do for the protagonist is being a HumanShield.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes down to her ankles.
* SemiDivine: In Olympus, she's a demigod due to being fused with Hera's remains.
* ShockAndAwe: One of her animations has her strumming her harp to signal Talos to bring down a bolt of lightning on her foes.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is spelled as "Europe" in Japan, but the pronunciation isn't the English reading of the name, but in Ancient Greek.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her dress offers a very friendly look at her cleavage, and in later Ascensions her panties are exposed from the front! Her Third Ascension gives her a coat, but it only covers a little of her cleavage, and her panties are still exposed!

'''Origin:''' England (16th century)\\

->''"Are you the new Master? I'm Francis Drake. Well, I hope we can work well together."''
[[UsefulNotes/SirFrancisDrake An adventurer, privateer and fleet commander]]. Her feats include living to tell the tale of circumnavigation of Earth, and opening the path for England to become supreme ruler of the Age of Discovery. She is also famous for defeating the mighty Spanish Armada, causing the ''de facto'' collapse of Spain. As Spain was described as "an empire upon which the Sun will never set", this earned Drake the title of "The Woman Who Brought Down The Sun".\\\
Although a man in history, Drake is female in the ''Fate'' universe. A possible reason could be that no one in her time treated Drake as a woman, leading historians to assume she must have been a man. According to one sailor at the time, it would be have been considered a sign of disrespect.\\\
Drake first appeared in ''[[VideoGame/FateExtra Fate/EXTRA]]'' as the Rider-class Servant of Shinji Matou. She's the main ally for the Third Singularity: Sealed Ends of the Four Seas Okeanos. A twisted version of her calling herself Dahut, Pirate Princess of Ys, appears in Pseudo-Singularity II: Women of Agartha as an antagonist. She also appears in Atlantis.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Despite being considered male by her crew, her normal outfit leaves little to the imagination and is open right down to the top of her stomach.
* AccidentalHero: Actually saved humanity before when she defeated Poseidon who was going to drown humanity. She didn't do it out of any good intention, but because he was annoying her.
* AffablyEvil: She's a pirate mostly motivated by getting more and more treasure, but she's pretty friendly about the whole thing.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Barring his Noble Phantasm's teamwork quirk (and middling chance to reduce an enemy's NP charge) and his unique Gentleman's Love Skill, Blackbeard is painfully inferior to Drake, who not only has a stronger version of Voyager of the Storm in her repertoire, but also didn't have to sacrifice her Class' Riding ability to use it.
* ArchEnemy: She seems to have become this for all versions of Poseidon. In Okeanos, she defeated him off-screen and took his Holy Grail. In Atlantis, she fought him again and took one of his cores, which [[spoiler:made him go mad and view anyone as "Francis Drake", and relentlessly attack them.]]
* ArtEvolution: As part of promotion for Agartha, her sprite and animations were given an overhaul.
* AscendedExtra: In ''EXTRA'' she was all but a tutorial boss. In ''Grand Order'', she gets the starring role of the Okeanos chapter, and turns out to be a lot stronger without Shinji holding her back.
* BerserkButton: Don't call her "old" unless you want to be shot out of a cannon.
* BestHerToBedHer: After the Protagonist beats her, she mentions they can do anything they want with her since she lost. This includes having sex with her.
* {{BFG}}: Her usual flintlocks, while strangely free of ammo problems, are relatively normal sized. Her ship's culverin cannons, however, are huge even by cannon standards, and she can summon them out of thin air to blast her opponents, Gate of Babylon-style.
* BraidsOfAction: In her third ascension, meaning she's gained access to more of her power, her previously loose hair is tied into a braid.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: During Agartha, [[spoiler:the Francis Drake that's canonically in Chaldea whether you've rolled her or not is dragged into the Singularity. When you run into her again, the party initially concludes that the heroic spirit Dahut has hijacked her Saint Graph. However, it turns out that it really ''was'' Drake, but she honestly believed she was Dahut thanks to the influence of Scheherazade's Noble Phantasm.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When Mash questions her about her Holy Grail in Okeanos, Drake tells her that she just happened to pick it up. One of her crewmen incredulously interrupts and reveals that they got it after Drake and her crew sailed through a maelstrom and giant whirlpools for seven days, found the lost city of Atlantis, and defeated Poseidon himself. After he finishes recounting the tale, Drake asks, "Was it really that epic?"
* CardCarryingVillain: Well, she doesn't actually do anything villainous, but she calls her Master and herself villains.
* CelibateHeroine: Her bond five line has her musing that while a relationship is not a completely unappealing idea, she'd never pursue one because it might get in the way of her pirating fun. That being said, nothing about that rules out the possibility that she can have casual sex. She ''is'' a pirate.
* ChallengeSeeker: Befitting her daredevil nature as a pirate, Drake loves adventures, and battles even more than money, the more difficult and dangerous it is, the more fun it is for her. In fact, her profile in [[AllThereInTheManual Fate/Grand Order Materials II]] reveals that she shows her true strength in battles against those that are stronger than herself, it even says that part of the reason she lost to Hakuno in ''Fate/Extra'' was because their lack of an identity didn't make them a threat to her.
* ClosestThingWeGot: In Agartha, [[spoiler:this is why she gets dragged in. Scheherazade ''wanted'' to summon the Pirate Princess of Ys Dahut specifically, but her legend was too weak to become a proper Heroic Spirit. So she got Drake and used her Noble Phantasm to implant Dahut's values onto Drake's Spirit Origin to create an effective knockoff.]]
* CoatCape: She wears it for third and final ascension.
* CoolShip: Her other Noble Phantasm, ''Golden Hind'', summons her ship for a massive cannon barrage.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: {{Invoked}}. She offers to join the protagonist only if they can best her in combat. When they do, she not only accepts her loss, she's even willing to give up her Grail (which she got from defeating Poseidon) without a fuss.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She's the primary support character for the Okeanos chapter, which is built around solving the conflict created by the two Holy Grails (Drake's and the antagonist's) existing in the same timeline and creating imbalances in the oceans. Drake gets pulled along because she's the owner of the Holy Grail that's meant to exist in this era and if she dies the whole world goes up in flames.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: She beat up the fading Divine Spirit Poseidon and stole his "sippy cup" (a Holy Grail) [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome before Chaldea arrived in the Singularity]]. And Roman confirms it was an actual event in the timeline that actually did happen.
* EvilIsHammy: Thinks that villains should act as flamboyantly as possible. Since she considers herself one...
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:During Atlantis, she decides to drink some wine as the Artemis laser approaches Heracles Island and wish Chaldea well in their travels before being vaporized.]]
* GagBoobs: She's practically the Rider Class's answer to Raikou in this regard.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has one across her face.
* GunFu: Uses her two pistols and physical skills together in battle.
* GunsAkimbo: A pair of flintlock pistols that she [[BottomlessMagazines never has to reload]].
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: To celebrate Mash and the protagonist joining up with her crew in the Okeanos chapter, she immediately starts chugging loads of alcohol. She even gives you a chocolate beer mug filled with rum jelly for Valentine's Day.
* TheHedonist: Believes in always enjoying life to the fullest and what you have, which is why she uses the Grail for an infinite supply of food and drink and as an actual cup.
* HistoricalGenderFlip: Apparently, she was so manly that her men spoke of her as if she were male, thus confusing the historical records. In ''Fate/EXTRA'' it was hinted the original Francis Drake and Queen Elizabeth may have switched places at some point, but this may simply be a case of CharacterizationMarchesOn since this detail has never been elaborated on any further.
* IdiotHair: It's covered by her hat.
* KingIncognito: Possibly, ''Fate/EXTRA'' raised the possibility that she could actually be Queen Elizabeth in disguise, though this idea has never been addressed again.
* TheLadette: She's a stereotypical pirate, which means she drinks and swears heavily. In fact, she's so manly, her (male) crew are intimidated by her manliness to the point of they can't treat her like a woman, or else they don't feel manly themselves.
* LuckStat: Notable in that hers is [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale EX-Rank]], which is likely connected to her Pioneer of the Stars ability given that the luck stat seems to refer more to destiny that simply being fortunate.
* MundaneLuxury: During Mash's setting a summoning circle in an island, Da Vinci discussed the information about Drake and the Age of Exploration, and mentions that during her time, spice had more worth than gold. She asked the protagonist to hand a bottle of pepper to Drake which knocked her unconscious out of happiness.
* MundaneWish: She used the Holy Grail only for plenty of food and booze.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Briefly in Agartha as Dahut. [[spoiler:She's the first "queen" of a faction to be defeated by the party, but they're interrupted by the Nightless Assassin before properly finishing Dahut off, assuming her dead as she and the rest of her city are washed away by a flood. Astolfo [[DiscussedTrope lampshades this trope]] saying "Oooh, yeah. No body, no death!" when [[NotQuiteDead they meet her again much later in the story]], underwater, in the Dragon Palace.]]
* NiceHat: Probably the most striking part of her redesign in this game is the wicked-looking pirate hat. It even grows jewels on her final stage.
* OddFriendship: To an outside observer, she appears to be close friends with Lancer Altria (Alter) as both are leaders of the Wild Hunt. How much they actually consider each other friends for real is unclear, however, as that version of Altria is noted to be rather aloof.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She managed to defeat ''Poseidon'' and swipe his Holy Grail. However, the most you get to experience of this is a recollection told by one of her crew.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: She actually gets stronger as she gets more loot and she's been noted to have terrible compatibility with Gilgamesh because while both hoard treasures, Drake spends all her money as fast as she gets it. One of her win quotes is even declaring her intention to split the loot in the fight.
* PirateGirl: Francis Drake has been genderflipped with the explanation being that she was so manly that the crew refused to acknowledge that she was a woman basically because it made them insecure of their own masculinity. Still, her outfit does not exactly downplay her looks. However, despite her masculine attitude, she's actually surprisingly short.
* RedBaron: El Draque.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Possibly, as it's hinted that she may be Queen Elizabeth in disguise.
* SleevesAreForWimps: After second ascension.
* SmarterThanYouLook: She's noted to be more well educated and knowledgeable than you'd expect a pirate to be. She knows the history of Chaldea, a fair amount of mythology as well as more about Vikings and such than the likes of Mash. Granted, Drake was a ''privateer'', an official government officer. Her travels also would have allowed her to pick up a lot of information and knowledge from the ports she visited and the ships she's raided.
* SuperEmpowering: In Okeanos, the Drake that becomes Chaldea's primary ally is the real Francis Drake the human, not a Heroic Spirit. Part of why she's so strong is because the Grail in her possession can merge with her body to give her the power to fight equally with enemy Servants.
* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:In Atlantis, she deliberately engineers Odysseus detecting Chaldea despite the fact that her curse means she can't leave the island when it gets blown up because Jason ''needs'' to get into CorneredRattlesnake mode with Odysseus' impending arrival to snap out of his funk.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For all her toughness and brash demeanor, there's one thing capable of freaking her completely out: ghosts. Seeing a few up close in Okeanos is enough to make her "[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl shriek like a maiden]]" to the surprise of the heroes. This also doubles as an IronicFear, as Drake becomes a leader of the Wild Hunt after her death and thus the captain of ''legions'' of ghosts.
* TheWildHunt: There is a legend that Francis Drake went on to become its leader after his passing. This became one of the main components of her Noble Phantasm, Golden Wild Hunt: Night of the Golden Hind and the Storm[[note]]strangely adapted by Aksys as Hunt of the Golden Hind: Golden Stag and Eventide Tempest, [[DubInducedPlotHole dropping the Wild Hunt references]][[/note]], as the ones she led in both life and death merge into a roaring thunderstorm full of battleships.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is neon pink.

->'''Rarity:''' SSR (5*)\\
'''ID:''' No. 206\\

->''"You just hit the Servant summoning jackpot! I'm Achilles, a Rider-class Servant. Yep, I'm the hero everyone knows for having his only weakness being his heel. But not many can even get to my heel, no way! Don't forget I'm one of the fastest people of all time!"''
An invincible demigod and the main character of Homer's ''Literature/TheIliad''. Born to the immortal sea goddess Thetis and the mortal ruler of the Myrmidons, King Peleus, Achilles was one of the strongest and most accomplished heroes in the Achaean army during the Trojan War. He was blessed with an invincible body that could not be wounded, incredible speed and skill, and a large collection of divine artifacts such as his spear and chariot. Between all these traits and his deeds during the Trojan War, Achilles was venerated as close to the equal of a god.\\\
His only weakness was a single spot on the back of his heel that, when struck, removed his invincibility and immortality. A popular myth is that his mother bathed him as a newborn in the River Styx to grant him immortality, but was forced to hold his heel above water so that he was not washed away by the current. Another account states that Thetis bathed his body in divine fire, but Peleus demanded that a single spot be unaffected so Achilles could retain his humanity. Regardless, this feature of his creation myth became widespread enough to get its own name: AchillesHeel.\\\
Achilles was killed after defeating his arch-enemy Hektor in a one-on-one duel upon the battleground. Seeking revenge against Hektor for the death of his close friend Patroclus, Achilles attached Hektor's corpse to his chariot and dragged it around while slaughtering Trojans with reckless abandon. This dishonorable act enraged the sun god Apollo, and when Achilles persisted despite his warnings, Apollo retaliated by aiding Paris- an enemy sharpshooter of the Trojan Army- in striking Achilles' weak point with a single arrow. With his invincibility removed, Achilles was overwhelmed and killed by the enemy soldiers.\\\
Achilles first debuted as "Rider of Red" from ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''. In ''Grand Order'', he makes his first appearance during Alexander's Interlude as an NPC. He made his playable debut for the ''Fate/Apocrypha'' crossover event, "Inheritance of Glory". He also appeared in Lostbelt No. 5: Atlantis as an ally.
----
* AchillesHeel: Well, [[TropeNamer yeah]]. Most of his body is invulnerable to anyone that isn't a demigod themselves or using a godforged armament, but if he's hit in the heel with an attack his immortality will be disabled and his superspeed will be partially sealed. However, he makes no effort to actually defend his heel because he likes a challenge.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Fate's Achilles is far more mellow and friendly than his infamously temperamental mythological counterpart. While the events of myth, including AchillesInHisTent still happened, the one summoned as a Servant is an all-around good guy and a reliable Servant to have... unless [[TheRival Hektor]] is nearby. He suggests, during the ''Inheiritance of Glory'' event, when Atalante brings up the whole "killing Hektor in a frenzied rage, then hitching his corpse to the back of his chariot to drive it around and desecrate it" thing, that most of his wrathful fury at the end of his life would be embodied in a Berserker incarnation, a class materials suggest he qualifies for.
* AnimalMotifs: His design notes suggest that his features, while handsome, are lean and hungry like a restless raptor. He also has a second motif in comparing himself to a shooting star, something destined to blaze brilliantly but briefly and then burning out in an instant.
* AnimeHair: Sticking up straight and spiky.
* {{Archenemy}}:
** Hektor is a complicated case. Both of them ''kind of'' want to just accept the way things shook out in life and move on... but they also still bring out the worst in each other and end up picking and starting fights.
** Berserker of El Dorado '''really''' hates him, but he's just uncomfortable around her because he feels bad about killing her before. If he weren't serving the protagonist, he'd let her kill him in apology, but can't leave his Master unguarded.
** In the case of his killer Paris, Achilles mostly treats him as an annoying brat that he has no interest in dealing with.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Achilles is about to say goodbye to the protagonist at the end of ''Inheritance of Glory'', he states why he has to go...
-->'''Achilles:''' No more battles, huh? I guess because there's no more grudge and no civilians to fall prey to tyranny and massacre... Oh, and there's no Hektor.
-->'''Protagonist:''' You hated him that much?!
* ArtEvolution: His first appearance in ''F/GO'' had his illustration in the ''Fate/Apocrypha'' light novels used as his portrait. When he turned into a playable Servant, he got a new portrait based on his Saint Graph.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The side effect of his incredible power is that his mana costs are atrocious (though not as bad as Karna's). Using his chariot alone eats up enough mana to summon another Servant. It doesn't come up in gameplay due to Chaldea's infrastructure, but in a Grail War this would make it difficult for him to cut loose unless he has an exceptionally strong Master.
* BadassTeacher: Parodied in Alexander's Interlude where he gives combat and tactical training to pirates so they'll let him mooch off of them for money and shelter... with special attention to fighting Lancers with unkempt beards.
* BladeOnAStick: He wields his Noble Phantasm, Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe, in battle. If invoked, it can create a duel field which is a PocketDimension for him and his opponent which blocks any outside interventions, including his own divine protection. He has the qualification as Lancer because of this spear and if he is in that class, the spear can inflict wounds that won't heal, similar to Gáe Bolg. However, [[WouldNotHitAGirl he cannot invoke it against a female opponent]] because of his regrets of killing Penthesilea with this spear.
* BreakoutCharacter: He was one of the most popular Servants in ''Fate/Apocrypha'', with fans clamoring for his release for years.
* BroughtDownToBadass: His introduction in Atlantis has him already shot in in the heel, resulting in him losing his invincibility and reducing his speed by 70%. He's still a powerful ally and capable of stalling Chiron and his army before dying from his wounds.
* CombatPragmatist: Although songs were sung of their clash, he really didn't enjoy how close to death his duel with Hektor brought him - so much so that, as shown in Alexander's Interlude, his strategy for ever running into the Trojan again is to just have his troops gang up on him while Achilles hangs back waiting to get a cheap shot in.
* CoolHorse: ''Three'' of them, Xanthus, Balius, and Padasos, who drive his chariot with the speed of a shooting star. Xanthus and Balius are divine horses given to Achilles by Poseidon himself, while Pedasos is simply a "fine and famous" horse he got while pillaging an enemy city. They're each about as tough as the average Servant and can trample others underneath their powerful hooves. Xanthus can also talk thanks to Hera's blessing.
* CriticalHitClass: Even when compared to most other Riders, Achilles has powerful buffs to his Quick cards that allows him to easily build up crit stars and ''keep'' doing it to hit for high numbers. Thanks to being a Rider, he also gets to enjoy those crit stars he generates, allowing him to do immense crit damage only rivaled by his fellow Rider Kintoki.
* DisproportionateRetribution:
** PlayedForLaughs when it comes to Hektor. Just read the dialogue yourself:
--> "Hektor... well, if he’s an ally, it’s fine. He's tough to deal with when he’s an enemy though. I’m not going to pick a fight with—OW! '''HEKTOR! YOU THREW THAT ROCK AT ME, DIDN’T YOU!? FINE THEN! LET’S DO ANOTHER ROUND OF 1-ON-1! AND DON’T YOU RUN! IT’LL THROW MY AIM OFF!'''"
** He also responds to Orion's joke about him carrying girls home at mixers by ''taking out his chariot to run him over''.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Made his debut in ''Grand Order'' as a NPC in Alexander's Interlude. In fact, that cameo was added a whole ''two years'' (to the day!) before he was available.
* FamedInStory: In and out of universe, Achilles is one of the most famed mythological heroes in history. Even those without any exposure to mythology have probably heard the term "AchillesHeel" at least once. This works to his advantage in-story, allowing him to be summoned near the peak of his strength no matter where the Grail War takes place, but it's especially high in Europe, rivaling Vlad III even in Vlad's home country. When he introduced himself to the protagonist in ''Inheritance of Glory'' event, he mentions that the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon Achilles Tendon]][[note]]scientifically referred to as the calcaneal tendon or ''Tendo calcaneus''[[/note]] is named after him.
* {{Fanboy}}: Achilles has huge admiration for both Atalanta and Heracles. His romantic interest in Atalanta is based on the stories his father told him about her and is rendered speechless when they meet again in ''Apocrypha - Inheritance of Glory''. If you have Heracles, Achilles has to hype himself up to talk to him and even blushes when discussing over the possibility of sparring with the Berserker.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: He appears in Battle in New York 2019 event where he is an SNKBoss whose gimmicks are true to his lore like his refusal to pick a fight with women as an effect of one of his Noble Phantasms.
** It's stated that one of the in-lore reasons why Achilles is so tough is that he has no less than ''five'' Noble Phantasms at his disposal, on top of his strong-as-hell armor and naturally high combat abilities. In-game, this translates to his skills having two or more effects where most servants have at most one per skill. His wide range of skills in lore also translates to him being both a powerful farming servant and a useful Challenge Quest destroyer.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Because three of his Noble Phantasms are represented as Skills in-game, the ones that can't be used together in-story can be used together in gameplay - and, in fact, the incompatible pairs of [=NPs=] actually benefit each other.
** In-story, Achilles can't use Troias Tragoidia (his chariot) and Dromeus Kometes (his SuperSpeed) together, for the simple reason that the world's fastest legs aren't much use when riding on a chariot. In gameplay, however, Troias Tragoidia is a Quick NP and Dromeus Kometes is a 3-turn Quick boost, meaning that the latter enhances the former just by being activated.
** In-story, Achilles created Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe's Duel Field so he could have fair fights against people unable to circumvent Andreas Amarantos (his immortality) - effectively, devising magecraft to ''negate'' his invincibility. In gameplay, Diatrekhon Aster Lonkhe is a taunt skill that doesn't remove the invincibility or defense buff provided by Andreas Amarantos, meaning that Achilles can combine both to soak up blows for his entire team.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: His Third and Final Ascension arts swap out his ''Fate/Apocrypha'' outfit with a set of golden armor and SensualSpandex.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Berserker of El Dorado hates him for commenting on her beauty instead of her strength as she was dying, but it's noted that he almost certainly didn't mean to offend or belittle her and was just caught by surprise. Semiramis, if the player also has her, calls him an "insensitive hero who causes nothing but trouble".
* JackOfAllStats: What makes Achilles as strong as he is gameplay-wise is the sheer flexibility he offers despite being an AOE Quick Rider. He can tank hits with two of his skills, he can spam his NP with mild support, crit enemies to death with his high hit count and natural star absorption, and he can offer mild team support thanks to being able to DrawAggro. He lacks healing and any direct team support, but he's one of the strongest Riders in the game thanks to being able to do so much at once.
* LightningBruiser: He is one of the greatest Greek heroes, boasting A+ rank Agility, A rank Endurance and B+ rank Strength.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: His shield, Akhilieus Kosmos, can easily defend against anything short of an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, though [[FantasticNuke Vasavi Shakti]] was able to shatter it after it had just taken Brahmastra Kundala. This shield is his Bond CE in-game.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After defeating Penthesilea but before she was actually dead, he removed her helmet out of curiosity, since she was supposed to be a legendary beauty. He ''knew'' it would be incredibly insulting to comment on it, but he was so shocked that his mouth slipped and he said the one thing he absolutely shouldn't. As a result, his guilt keeps him from accepting a true rematch because he feels he deserves her hatred and wouldn't have the heart to fight back.
* NighInvulnerability
** His famed invulnerability lets him NoSell any attack with hostile intent as long as the user and the weapon used in the attack aren't divine. In his home series, this meant that Chiron was the only member of the Black Faction who could actively fight him, since he could literally waltz right through entire Noble Phantasms with ease for as long as they didn't strike his heel. In the game proper, it grants him invulnerability to two attacks and also increases his defense for 3 turns.
** He also has an A+ ranked shield that can outright negate any Noble Phantasms used on it unless they're Anti World and above a certain power it seems the shield will break anyway. This NP is his bond CE and increases his NP damage by 30% and gives the entire frontline a one hit three turn invincibility, most likely representing that he loaned it out at the climax of Apocrypha.
* OhCrap: When a certain Amazoness queen is mentioned to also be in Chaldea, he suddenly speaks in a robotic manner out of shock.
* PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou: Subverted. He states that he ''would'' invoke this in regards to the aforementioned Amazoness queen to make amends, were it not for the fact that doing so would mean he would be unable to protect his master.
* PocketDimension: Two of his Noble Phantasms (Diatrekhon Aster Lokhe and Akhilleus Kosmos), if invoked can create these.
* TheRival: Against Hektor. Though when they are on the same side, they turn into some kind of SitcomArchNemesis duo.
* SapientSteed: His horse Xanthos, a gift from Poseidon, is the only one of Achilles' three horses that can speak. [[TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson It knows about 4X strategy games for some bizarre reason.]]
* SemiDivine: He has Rank C Divinity for being the son of the human Peleus and the sea nymph Thetis.
* SensualSpandex: His armor in his third and final ascension makes no effort to hide Achilles' ripped body.
* ShipTease: Some with Atalante in the ''Apocrypha'' event and their respective My Room dialogues toward each other, following on from the teasing in their home series.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Like most Greek Servants, his name in Japan is on its Greek form "Achilleus".
* SmugSuper: He's really full of himself, though he's not a bad guy and can definitely back it up.
* StoryBreakerPower: He has ''five'' Noble Phantasms[[note]]and, if you actually count his cosmetic-only 3rd Ascension golden armor made for him by Hephaestus, it's actually ''six''[[/note]] when most only have one or two. He's also NighInvulnerable and can only be harmed by divine weapons or Servants (or attacks that are considered "friendly" like a vampire's bite) if you aren't striking his heel, is wicked fast thanks to Dromeus Kometes, and has a powerful chariot that can easily grind other Servants to paste if they're caught on the path of its charge. He's fully aware of these and outright challenges the entire Black Faction at once in his home series so that they'll know what a true warrior is like. In FGO proper, when he appears as an ally in Atlantis he's already been shot in the foot, lost his shield at some point, and gives up his armor [[spoiler:so Hephaestus can make Orion a divine bow out of it]]; he still quickly becomes the Argonauts's biggest powerhouse who can take on hordes of superhuman soldiers [[spoiler:and the Lostbelt version of Chiron]] singlehandedly.
* SuperpowerLottery: So much that his English summoning quote opens with a quip about the player hitting the jackpot. He's the second greatest Greek hero and it really shows. He has ''five'' Noble Phantasms as a Rider. One is his invulnerability, one is his superspeed, one is his chariot, another is his shield and the fifth is his spear, though he can't make full use of it unless he's a Lancer. It still lets him set up his duel field by deactivating divine blessings and other outside assistance within its radius, though this is actually intended to limit his own abilities for a fair fight, not the enemy's. In-game, his chariot is his Noble Phantasm, the duel field, invulnerability and superspeed are all skills and the shield is his bond CE.
* TakingTheBullet: His 3rd skill has a self-taunt effect that, when combined with his 2nd skill that gives him invincibility, will be able to make him safely tank even a single-target Noble Phantasm thrown by the enemy, assuming it doesn't have "Invincibility Pierce" or a way to remove his Defense buffs before damage sets in, of course. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Which fittingly makes Chiron and Paris' [=NPs=] his perfect counter]].
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: In Lostbelt 5, he and Paris hold a grudge against each other due to Achilles killing Hektor and Paris killing him afterwards, but work together to help the protagonist nonetheless.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After briefly being coerced into working for Amakusa in ''Apocrypha'' under the promise of doing so, the protagonist provides Achilles with a legitimate chance to help save the world like the true hero he always felt he never was in life.
* UndyingLoyalty: As of the trope above, he declares himself loyal to the protagonist as he got a chance to serve an actual Master (since in his home series, he wants to meet his Master but it never happened because of Amakusa), to the point that he refuses to die for Berserker of Eldorado's forgiveness if that means he won't be able to protect his Master.
* WorfHadTheFlu: By the time he appears in Lostbelt 5, his heel has already been hit, weakening him heavily. This is reflected in him being lower level then most of your allies. Given he's one of the most busted characters from a story angle, it was clearly done to balance out the team.
* WorthyOpponent: Mandricardo comments that Achilles seems to rate his own killer highly, and Achilles doesn’t deny it. He respects Paris for finding enough courage to do what he did.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His hair is yellow-green. He's had it since childhood and it's made all the more glaring in Chiron's Bond Craft Essence which shows him teaching a trio of young would-be heroes where Achilles is the only one of his pupils with such exotic hair. It likely has something to do with his mother Thetis being a sea nymph.

UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat summoned as the innocent young prince of Macedonia both in body and mind. He still has all his memories of his exploits but it gets a bit foggy for him when it comes to stuff that happened after his adolescence.\\\
He's an antagonist in the Second Singularity: Eternal Madness Empire Septem.
----
* ArtEvolution: He received an animation overhaul in 2019 that included more usage of his lightning powers and his horse, Bucephalus.
* BadassAdorable: He's a very cute boy who's quite formidable in battle, and later grows up to become the big, manly, and even ''more'' badass Iskandar.
* BalanceBuff: His Rosy-cheeked Adonis was buffed into Rosy-cheeked Adonis (Lightning). It now has a roughly 20% increase in success rate, but also now removes buffs from the target. This makes him a great support Servant who can charm an enemy, and if it fails, at least remove any powerful buffs.
* {{Bishonen}}: In stark contrast to his [[{{RatedMForManly}} adult version]]. Its even reflected as a Personal Skill!
* BlindObedience: The young Alexander's dialogue(s) would have him quote some teachings of his personal tutor, the philosopher Aristotle. He evidently likes the guy at this stage of his life-- which [[TruthInTelevision starkly contrasts their relationship]] [[BrokenPedestal later in life]][[note]]due to Alexander's adoption of non-Greek customs, which [[DeliberateValuesDissonance Aristotle seemingly-loathes as it is supposedly "barbaric"]][[/note]].
* BraidsOfAction: Rare male example. It can be taken as a sign that even at such young age, he already had the spirit of a brave conqueror willing to fight anyone to achieve his dream.
* CoolHorse: His Noble Phantasm has Bucephalus trample the enemy. After his animation update, Bucephalus becomes a more active participant in Alexander's attacks and skills.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: The key difference between young Alexander's Servant unit and the older Iskandar, apart from their variant card focus and skillset[[note]]Alexander is Quick-based while Iskandar is Buster-based[[/note]], would be their function in a team. For the most part, Iskandar is very good for one thing alone: pure NP damage (as well as facilitating hard-hitting NP chains). By contrast, Alexander's skills have [[SupportPartyMember significant support value]]. Hence, these do not only allow him to hit hard (as much as his low stats would allow him to, that is), but also let his teammates survive, hit hard and generate stars on their own. The fact that he is a 3-star also helps in bringing in a support Caster that can enable him[[note]]say, Waver or the more recently-released Scáthach-Skadi[[/note]], plus a main boss-killer, without too much cost to a team.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: He has his memories from his older self as well, but states that attempting to focus on them feels strange, like he's living a dream that's yet to come.
* DualBoss: Fights together with [[MythologyGag Zhuge Liang]] in one boss battle.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Unlike most charm skills in the game, Alexander's Fair Youth skill works regardless of the target's sex.
* {{Fanboy}}: He is a fanboy of the Iliad and Achilles, as seen in his Interlude.
* GrowingMusclesSequence: Apparently the effect of his other Noble Phantasm, Zeus Thunder: God's Blessing. In fact, using this Noble Phantasm is largely responsible for his future appearance.
* OlderThanTheyLook: He looks like he's in his mid-teens but mentions having completed his studies with Aristotle in the past, which means he would have to be older than 16.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Even for someone in his mid-teens, Alexander is absolutely tiny (151cm/4'11"). This is more shocking when you compare it to his adult height (212cm/6'11"). He literally gains ''two feet'' in a few years.
* SemiDivine: He only has Rank E Divinity because he didn't start claiming he was a descendant of Zeus until he was an adult.
* ShockAndAwe: With his animation update, he now uses infuses lightning into his attacks.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ditto with his older version. In this game, the young one is called Alexander and the adult one is Iskander.
* TeenGenius: He's still only a kid, but he ''is'' the guy who would eventually become Iskandar, and even in this form possesses a great deal of Iskandar's tactical genius.
* TokenMiniMoe: In a strange case, as he's male, he's this for the Rider class.
* YoungAndInCharge: Contrasting his older version.
* UseYourHead: His updated attacks not only has one of him headbutting his enemy followed by a jumping knee to the face, but also has one that has him charge Bucephalus towards the enemy, not to trample them, but to ram them horse's head first.

->''"Merry-- Excuse me for entering from the chimney. I am the pretty Santa Claus who has answered your summon. You must be my reindeer?"''
The corrupted Altria, now on a mission to spread good cheer and the Christmas spirit. Wait, what?\\\
This Altria Alter has resolved to clear her image by acting as the ally of children, Santa Claus. The lack of futility in her behavior and cool-headedness closely resemble the normal Alter, but the admiration for Santa Claus at her root makes her a little more kind.\\\
She debuted as the free Servant for the first Christmas event, "Almost Weekly Santa Alter," and naturally has some role in the second Christmas event, "The Little Santa Alter".
According to Space Ishtar, Santa Alter is from the Servant Universe.
----
* BadSanta: She's actually enthusiastic about doing her job, but it's still an ''Alter''. [[CardCarryingVillain She even calls herself an "Evil Santa"]]. That said, she's much nicer than she publicly admits.
* BadassSanta: Despite being a welfare Servant, she has nigh-identical HP to regular Alter at max level and, while having less Attack, can still potentially out-damage her Saber self NP-wise due to the ease of maxing out said NP. Heck, she's considered one of the better Riders, full stop, due to her well-rounded skillset, the base power of her NP, and the ease with which it can be brought to max power.
* BigEater: Still on a junk food binge. Her ascension material? A bucket of fried chicken.[[note]]It's pretty much a RealLife reference to how modern Japanese families consider fried chicken buckets (particularly [[UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken KFC]]) as part of the traditional Christmas meal.[[/note]]
* BlackSwordsAreBetter: Even as a Rider, she still has access to and uses Excalibur Morgan.
* TheComicallySerious: Saber Alter isn't a very emotional person. So you get to see her stoically distribute presents in a Santa dress and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4U4L-WeqoY hum "Jingle Bells" in the middle of firing sword beams of pure evil]].
* ContraltoOfDanger: Downplayed. While her voice is deeper than regular Saber Altria's, it's of a higher cadence than the other Altria Alters, to go with her trying to be a more heroic person.
* CrutchCharacter: As one of the first "Welfare Servants", Santa Alter is a completely free 4-Star Servant that can be easily maxed out provided that the player completes all the event quests and clears out the event shop. She also was invaluable early on because of how rare Buster [=AoE=] Rider's were at the time, and even today are still quite rare.[[note]]At launch, the only other [=AoE=] Buster NP Riders were Teach, Martha, and Drake. Teach though usable, was limited by his rarity, Martha did not have a high enough damage output to fit well into the [=AoE=] Buster spot until her third Rank Up Quest boosted her NP's raw damage and adding a Buster buff before activating, and Drake was rare and expensive to acquire. The next available Rider after Santa Alter was Iskander, who is rare and limited, followed nearly a year later by Rider of the Resistance, and Ivan, who are Story Locked and Limited respectively.[[/note]] As a tradeoff, her stats are noticeably lower than other 4-Stars (especially the three other Welfare Riders that come after her, Kintoki, Ryoma, and Ishtar). The sheer power of a Level 5 Excalibur Morgan helps her stay relevant for many older players, but her out of date kit and stats make her not the top dog she used to be, and Summer Ishtar generally tends to be used over her because of the latter's stats and kit.
* DeadpanSnarker: Seemingly incapable of interacting with anyone without mocking or disparaging them in some way.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Doesn't appreciate it if you address her as "Alter-chan".
* ExposedToTheElements: Subverted. Santa Alter bluntly admits that she's actually freezing her ass off in her minidress. Nonetheless, a job is a job, and she treats the cold as an unavoidable occupational hazard.
* {{Fauxreigner}}: Claims to be from Finland (aka the country of Santa Claus Village) despite being the King of the Britons.
* FriendToAllChildren: Despite being Alter, she is still working as Santa. This is best illustrated in her PetTheDog moment below.
* {{Irony}}: Despite being a Rider, her sleigh is not a Noble Phantasm.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's still the cold, callous Saber Alter she's known for, but her desire to act as Santa is bringing out a softer side to her.
* MinidressOfPower: One so powerful itself, and on a [[ActionGirl powerful enough person]], that it immediately comes up as a dialogue option for our poor abducted protagonist. They get the option to mention it several other times throughout the first Christmas event's questline.
* MundaneUtility: She scared off her reindeer because she tried to use Excalibur Morgan [[RecoilBoost as a ''jet engine'']].
* PetTheDog:
** She encounters Jack the Ripper and Nursery Rhyme/Alice, sad and cold because nobody supposedly remembers them[[note]]Jack in this continuity being the collective incarnation of London's abandoned street children and Nursery Rhyme being, well, the crystallization of fairy tales currently in a [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] universe[[/note]]. They thought they'd challenge Santa Alter for presents, which she accepted. Despite losing (and thinking Christmas will be lonely for them yet again), Alter chooses to "[[ILetYouWin lose]]" and give them the Christmas Event Craft Essences, to their absolute delight.
** In the second Christmas event, [[spoiler:she willingly goes along with the plan to let Jeanne d'Arc Alter Santa Lily become a proper Servant, even being the one to warn the protagonist about how she'll vanish otherwise and prompting the entire scheme to be cooked up.]]
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Being no-nonsense Altria (Alter), she has a tendency to drop these on those she beats... while also giving them presents. She gives a particularly short and pointed one to Jeanne Alter, who was particularly frustrated with the holiday ridiculousness of the whole situation but was called out by Altria for being rather half-assed as a Servant. [[spoiler:This was not without consequence.]]
* TheRedMage: She has most of Saber Alter's damage-boosting skills, but eschews Charisma for Saint's Gift, which can heal an ally Servant for a considerable amount. This makes her a well-rounded unit, as well as a good source of healing for players who use a Mystic Code without a healing Master Skill.
* SexySantaDress: Her outfit is a minidress with thigh-high boots and leggings in [[LittleBlackDress black]]. Her Final Ascension art has her sitting down and her legs crossed to show that, bottom-wise, she's not wearing any undergarments aside from those black leggings.
* SmugSmiler: She sports quite the smug smirk as her happy expression, and she subtly mocks you with it should you get mostly QP and the common items from the lottery.
* SurpriseSantaEncounter: She kidnaps you from Chaldea all of a sudden and you can [[CallBack note that she's the final Servant they had to beat in Fuyuki]]. You can also accuse her of forcing you to be her reindeer as her way of acting out her being a sore loser.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: If the protagonist recognizes her from Fuyuki, she'll tell them that this is their first meeting and that she's never been beaten by them before and certainly hasn't been brooding over that fact.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Comedic example. "Jingle Bells" starts playing when she uses her Excalibur Morgan. She even hums along. She's also ''invented her own first verse lyrics'':
--> ''Dashing off we go, through the raging winds, slicing singularities, battles on ba-attleeees~''
* TerribleArtist: She claims she designed her sleigh to resemble a lion, but everyone says it looks more like a hippopatamus.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: As far as she's concerned, the true meaning of Christmas is turkey.
-->"I don't have any fond memories of Christmas, but I want a turkey. Oh yes, do I ever. That rustic, crude, oily brilliance of it--the essence of a good meal."
* {{Tsundere}}: Her nicer side comes out several times during the Christmas event, particularly with Jack and Nursery Rhyme, though she continuously tries to play it off. The protagonist can even call her "Alter-chan" at one point and her response is to quickly tell them not to say that while her portrait is in a ''flustered'' state rather than an angry one.
* WaveMotionSword: She still has Excalibur Morgan, using it as her sleigh's thrusters in place of the reindeer she scared off. As one of the first "welfare Servants", the player also has the opportunity to get it to Level 5 with relative ease, making her extremely helpful to players unwilling to shell out a lot of Saint Quartz for other 4-Stars and 5-Stars of comparable power.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: Tells Martha, Ushiwakamaru, and Jing Ke they need to stop loitering around in a cave, go outside, and find some boyfriends to spend Christmas with instead of wasting away.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Grade S! They reach all the way past her knees and she's clearly flustered when speaking to the protagonist.

->''"Rider-class Servant, Altria Pendragon. Now that I'm here, brace yourself to begin living your life properly! There will be no more going back to sleep once your alarm goes off, and no more letting yourself get out of shape. I will clean everything! I will do the laundry! C-cooking... Well, I'll do my best..."''
In order to make her Master’s summer even better, Altria Alter has become a maid. Her subsequent embarrassment at the idea of people seeing her dressed up as one has led her to disguise her various weapons as mere cleaning tools.\\\
First announced during FGO 2nd Anniversary Fes, she's the swimsuit version of Altria (Alter) for the second Summer event. She is Nero's teammate on team "Tyrannical Shooting Star" in "Dead Heat Summer Race / Death Jail Summer Escape."
----
* BadassLongcoat: She's wearing one for her second stage over her swimsuit. It gets even bigger and more impressive at her third stage.
* BalanceBuff: Her Coaching skill was buffed to include a delayed buff that triggers one turn later to increase the maximum HP of her target for five turns up to 3000 HP. This effectively acts as a delayed heal that compensates for the 1000 HP Demerit of the skill.
* BareYourMidriff: The swimsuit part of her outfit comes into play with a lot of the middle removed to let it function as one.
* {{BFG}}: Secace, Altria's short sword which has been turned into a gun, is normally a water pistol, but can be combined with Excalibur Morgan to turn it into an anti-material sniper rifle.
* BikerBabe: It's TwentyPercentMoreAwesome due to the fact her water walking extends to vehicles, allowing her to drift her motorcycle on ''the ocean''.
* BloodKnight: While her original self is epitomized by TranquilFury, her swimsuit version's wider range of emotions includes more enthusiasm for violence. Indeed, she's quite happy to offer her services to her master in [[DeadlyEuphemism making things disappear]], like at the beginning of "Death Jail Summer Escape."
* CoatCape: She wears her black coat this way in her third Ascension.
* CoolBike: She rides one on the ocean for her Noble Phantasm animation. This is the reason she's a Rider.
* CoolCrown: Wears a black crown at her third ascension.
* DeadlyEuphemism: She occasionally refers to killing people as "cleaning up", as befitting a maid.
* FeminineWomenCanCook: {{Averted}}. The only role of the maid she can't do is cook, which she balks at doing if asked.
--> ''(something she disliked)'' "What I dislike? Let's see... The normal me would dare not think of something like this, but cooking is difficult. I tend to cook more than necessary. I never imagined I would stoop to Gawain's level..."
* GlassCannon: Despite her high HP and low ATK for her rarity, this is how Maid Alter effectively plays. She has no defensive skills and one skill that demands 1000HP for a demerit, but what she does have is high star weight, a passive that boosts her crit damage, the demerit skill takes a turn off cooldown and boosts crit star generation, another passive for Quick damage, and a skill that provides a self Attack buff along with a party-wide Quick buff, and another that gives a strong Quick buff for one attack with an incredibly short cooldown. Altogether, this makes her a Servant who can compensate her low base Attack with buffs and crits, can generate ''and'' get the crit stars to do so, and has one of the most damaging [=NPs=] ''in the game'' when buffs are taken into account, though she won't last long in a sustained fight.
* {{Irony}}: Despite her higher rarity and having a Quick-focused deck, Maid Alter's Riding Skill is only at rank B, a rank lower than her Santa version's. Her motorcycle is not a Noble Phantasm.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Switches out her maid-swimsuit for a skin-tight black dress for her third ascension.
* LighterAndSofter: Not ''extremely'' so (it is Altria Alter, after all) but compared to her other appearances, she does come across like this. Those [[WhenSheSmiles satisfied smiles]] come out a little easier than other times, and during her debut event itself she displays a generally wider range of emotion than she typically does, with even a few moments of outright, open surprise. She's also openly happy to serve her master and all-but-admits affection for them, even giving up her title of "King" in favor of "Maid" for the race she enters explicitly for their sake.
* MakingASplash: Like vanilla swimsuit Altria, Alter unleashes blasts of water from her guns and also soaks the enemy while striking them with her mop.
* {{Meido}}: Yes, she's actually wearing a swimsuit version of a ''maid costume'', complete with [[ImprovisedWeapon a mop as her weapon]].
* TheMusketeer: Battle-style wise, she falls under here. While she definitely uses firearms as her main weapon, she normally opens her normal attacks with either [[ImprobableWeaponUser the Excalibur Morgan balloon sword, or the mop]].
* NinjaMaid: She professes to being a simple maid in this form, yet she also has no problem jumping around and beating people up with her mop and sword while shooting them with powerful jets of water from her guns.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: This version of Alter is a biker gunslinger gothic lolita maid in ''a swimsuit''. It's as ridiculous as it's awesome.
* OralFixation: Is often seen munching on a popsicle, especially in her First Ascension art.
* ParryingBullets: In her home stretch race-winning cutscene in "Death Jail Summer Escape", she manages to parry all of Professor M's machine gun fire... with a wooden mop. Babbage and Professor M are flabbergasted (the former impressed with a British maid, the latter with Britain's legendary king), and Professor M even has a ReactionShot cut-in.
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Her Final Ascension art has her pointing her pistol at the screen while glaring, though the threatening nature is mitigated by her [[BoobsAndButtPose pose]], her [[{{Stripperific}} attire]], and the fact [[SexySoakedShirt it's raining]].
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: In her third Ascension where she's wielding Excalibur Morgan proper, she can throw the sword at her target, which hits multiple times like a buzzsaw before she jumps forward and retrieves it.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Popsicles, which she's always seen munching on both in her first ascension outfit and as her skill animation. Heck, she mentions in one of her My Room lines that that's the thing she likes the most.

->''"Were you surprised? The two of us are one Servant. She is Mary Read. I'm Anne Bonny. Pleased to meet you."''
UsefulNotes/AnneBonny and Mary Read are two female pirates who from the Golden Age of Piracy. Bonny was born to a prosperous household, a natural hooligan who eloped with a small-time punk. Bonny later separated from her husband, raising a pirate flag together with John Rackham. Upon capturing a ship from Holland one day, Bonny met Read by chance, who had slipped onto the ship dressed as a man. Read joined with her under Rackham's command, and they endeavored as a duo due to getting along well as fellow women, devoting themselves to the ways of piracy. It is said in many testimonies from Rackham's crew that the duo fought with greater courage than any other.\\\
This time, the two have been exceptionally summoned as a single set Servant. There are no penalties given for this, but if one collapses the other will also be unable to fight, no questions asked.\\\
They debuted together as antagonists in the Third Singularity: Okeanos, working for Blackbeard.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Anne's shirt has a window stopping just short of her navel.
* BattleCouple: A couple in life, now immortalized as a dual Servant.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' reveals they love the protagonist because the protagonist treated them kindly despite being pirates when they were hated in life for being criminals, treating them no differently from real saints.
* {{BFG}}: Anne's rifle is longer than she is tall.
* {{BFS}}: Mary wields a cutlass that looks pretty big compared to her.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Apparently in life Mary's disguise as a man was incredibly convincing that no one realized she was a woman till she revealed it herself.
* {{Bokukko}}: Mary, alluding her disguise as a man in Calico Jack's crew, and contrasting Anne's refined ''watakushi''.
* CoveredWithScars: Mary's clothes hide most of it, but in third and final ascension we see just how many scars she has.
* CriticalHitClass: Even amongst Riders, their skill set is built around critical hits, be it increasing their critical star absorption and generation rate, increasing their critical damage, and possessing a QQAAB deck, a Quick-based NP, and a Bond 10 CE that increases the party's critical hit damage to take full advantage of that. Ironically, they don't have the Riding skill to increase the power of their Quick cards and indirectly their star generation rate.
* DesperationAttack: Caribbean Free Bird: Bond of Lovebirds gets stronger the lower their HP is. If combined with the Black Holy Grail CE, it can become one of the strongest single-target attacks in the game.
* TheDividual: They're officially one Servant. In gameplay, Mary does most of the action, while Anne merely comes in when invoking skills and for the Noble Phantasm. If Anne's in charge, they become an Archer instead (as seen with their swimsuit version).
* ExactWords: During "Chaldea Summer Memory", in order to figure out where they are, Mary convinces Blackbeard to paddle out to sea so he can get a better view of the land for them. She does this by promising him that she'll allow him to touch her anywhere once, which he agrees to immediately. When he gets back, Mary gives him a high-five for returning alive which he tiredly reciprocates. She then informs him that that counted as his reward touch.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Well, "Huge Girl, Tiny Girl" in their case. Curiously, in dialogue sequences, it's downplayed as Mary is made to appear taller than in the card art, coming up to just below Anne's shoulder, which is more accurate to their official heights, as there's only a height difference of 13 cm, or about 5 inches (which means Anne should only be OneHeadTaller than Mary). Not to mention, Mary is actually ''taller'' than Altria and Nero!
* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Anne Bonny's wardrobe is miraculous in how she doesn't have a wardrobe malfunction every few seconds.
* ItsWhatIDo: They don't really have any wish for the Grail. But it's a treasure, the Grail War a fantastic adventure, and they're pirates, so they are going for it anyway.
* MsFanservice: Anne. And Mary, come that third ascension.
* OffModel: Going by the numbers in their profile, their height gap is only 13 cm, but in their card art Mary is only as tall as Anne's waist.
* OfficialCouple: Mixed with a bit of polyamory as they seem to consider the two of them and their Master one. This might be based on historical fact that both Anne and Mary got a stay of execution because they were both pregnant with Calico Jack's children.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite her looks, Mary is actually at least ''10 years'' older than Anne. The official spin-off manga ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' reveals that Mary was only summoned as a child and looked her age in real life.
* OneSteveLimit: Mary and Marie have very similar names, and to make things worse, both are also Riders. The main differences lie in the pronunciation of the letter A and the emphasis on the other syllable ('''Ma'''-ry and Ma-'''rie''').
* PirateGirl: Both of them, and they're based on two of the most famous RealLife examples.
* PlayboyBunny: Have elements of this in third and final ascension. Especially Mary. The reason why they wear bunnygirl costumes is because [[AuthorAppeal I-IV wanted to draw them in such a costume]].
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Anne's color-scheme is mainly red and black. Additionally, together they also play this trope straight, with Anne supplying more red and Mary supplying the black.
* RedOniBlueOni: Anne's red to Mary's blue. Anne is friendlier from the start, but Mary is DefrostingIceQueen. While both of them are pretty hedonistic, Anne wants more treasures and adventures when Mary just wants to roam around the world freely.
* TheShutIn: Played for laughs in "The Garden of Order", where they wind up becoming a pair of lazy slobs who never leave their apartment after [[TheCorrupter Blackbeard]] exposes them to the convenience of the internet and online shopping.
* SweetPollyOliver: ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' reveals that both Anne and Mary did this in life growing up and even as pirates due to the belief that women on the ship was bad luck.
* TogetherInDeath: Despite being functionally two Servants, when one of them dies, the other will follow not long after. The reason why only Mary is out in the field is because they have twice the hitbox otherwise (and Anne using a flintlock is detrimental to her melee). Might be an allusion from when Mary died in prison, Anne practically disappeared from the record.
* ThreeWaySex: If you max out their bond level, Anne more or less suggests a threesome with their Master.
* TokenYuriGirls: Their Stage 4 artwork leaves ''very'' little to the imagination on what their relationship is. Also, their Noble Phantasm's title is Bond of ''Lovebirds''. [[MetaGuy Blackbeard]] even refers to them as "The Yuri Couple."
* YourCheatingHeart: ''Teach Us FGO! The Greats and Legends of Grand Order'' shows that Anne had a tendency of falling in love despite being in committed relationships. She was married when she met Calico Jack but still eloped with him. She even fell for Mary while dating Calico Jack before she realized Mary was a woman.

->''"Yahoo! My name is Astolfo! Rider Class! And, and... umm, nice to meet you!"''
A character from the Matter of France, where he was one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne. Astolfo is said to have been the most handsome, optimistic and [[TheUnfettered completely lacking in sense]] out of the Twelve. A sunny adventurer at heart, Astolfo traveled all across the world getting into all sorts of fun and light-hearted adventures, acquiring a whole collection of [[ArtifactOfPower artifacts and mystical items]] such as his hunting horn, magical grimoire, and shining golden lance. He befriended many legendary mounts such as the {{Hippogriff}} and even reached the Moon in the end.\\\
Astolfo first appeared in ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' as Rider of Black, where he was practically the third protagonist of the story. He first appeared in ''Grand Order'' as a cameo in the first Christmas event, "Almost Weekly Santa Alter," and had his proper debut as part of the White Day event that followed the second Valentine's Day event. Curiously, he did not participate during the France chapter despite a number of other ''Apocrypha'' alumni having significant roles. He later appears in Agartha as a main ally.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Bradamante addresses him as "A-chan".
* AmbiguousGender: In terms of gameplay, he isn't flagged with a gender because he has a skill that prevents even a Ruler from being able to tell. That being said, he very much identifies as male and prefers male pronouns.
* AntiMagic: Astolfo has forgotten the True Name of his magical grimoire, but just having it on his person grants him immunity to the vast majority of magical spells, and even a degree of protection against Command Spells. When he remembers its True Name, "Casseur di Logistilla: Destruction Declaration", reading from the grimoire allows him to cancel ''any'' magical spell or effect, with the exception of Reality Marbles.
* AtrociousAlias: He disguises himself in a SailorFuku in the Nightless City during the Agartha pseudo-singularity, and when he gets caught by the Nightless Assassin's forces he declares himself as "Sailor Paladin." Chevalier d'Eon has no choice but to follow in his silly footsteps as "Maid Knight."
* BadassAdorable: He's cute, very girly, and also a fairly good fighter.
* BalanceBuff: His third skill got a buff to give it a 50% NP charge at Lv. 10, making it easier for him to use his NP without having to rely on his low NP generation.
* BareYourMidriff: The pink SailorFuku he dons during "Woman of Agartha" doesn't bother to cover the abdomen area.
* {{Bishonen}}: Has a [[DudeLooksLikeALady girly]] and cutesy appearance to him, complete with a slender build, a feminine dress code, and a reputation for being "[[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman beautiful beyond compare]]".
* BigEater: In his Interlude, the party decides to camp out since Astolfo had [[NoSenseOfDirection gotten lost]] anyway. He immediately demands curry, and the protagonist is all-too-happy to oblige even as Mash reminds Astolfo that as a Servant he doesn't outright ''need'' to eat. He ends up eating the entirety of the emergency rations.
* BizarreInstrument: "La Black Luna: Magic Flute That Calls Panic", one of his Noble Phantasms. When not in use it simply looks like a small horn, but when activated it turns much larger and grows [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/typemoon/images/3/36/La_Black_Luna.png/revision/latest?cb=20121214191218 a crazy-looking bunch of pipes]], becoming a [[MakeMeWannaShout weapon of sonic destruction]] said to sound like a roaring dragon. He uses it in Agartha to counter the deafening Amazons' battle cry.
* BladeOnAStick: "Trap of Argalia: Down With A Touch!", a lance that can force an opponent to kneel simply by touching them with it, is his primary weapon as a Rider. However, it does need to contact with the body or at least armor of his opponent. Striking their weapon is not enough to activate the effect. In this game, however, he only uses it for attacking, the forced kneeling ability is instead a skill that can stun an enemy.
* BornLucky: Luck Rank A+.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: Near the end of his Interlude, he yoinks Oda Nobunaga's "it can't be helped!" CatchPhrase:
--> "Well, if he's a fake, it can't be helped! [[VerbalTic (Nobbu!)]]"
* BraidsOfAction: Being a long-haired knight, naturally he's gotta have a braid!
* ButtMonkey: During his EarlyBirdCameo in the first Christmas event, he gets no respect from friend or enemy alike because he didn't show up in Orleans to fight. Santa Alter even tells him he's not getting any presents for it before finally throwing a pumpkin in his face as she and the protagonist take off, which d'Eon takes to mean that he won't show up until next year's Halloween.
* CallingYourAttacks: Besides the everyday, normal invocations of his Noble Phantasm, he also has the brilliant idea to call out "Astolfo PUNCH!" in his Interlude.
* CatchPhrase: Has a tendency to deliver a cutesy "Yahoo!" when greeting others.
* CoyGirlishFlirtPose: For his idle stance.
* CuteLittleFangs: Oddly, they appear skin-colored. He's not any sort of being that would normally have fangs; they're just there to make him look cute and mischievous.
* TheDitz: Weaponized. One of his skills, Evaporation of Sanity, gives him something akin to a sixth sense in combat similar to Eye of the Mind or Instinct from his complete lack of common sense. In Agartha, even he knows that he's not quite the "[[{{Malaproper}} sharpest bulb in the toolbox]]," and earlier he calls the pirates of Ys "tropical river pirates of the high seas" based on the Rider of the Resistance's description of them.
--> '''d'Eon:''' "Urk! Everything about that was wrong! And to make matters worse, he doesn't even care!"
* DudeLooksLikeALady: He can easily be mistaken for a girl. In fact, in Agartha when the Resistance is taking ships up the rivers to launch a surprise attack on the Amazons, him wearing his SailorFuku is enough to make the men all stare at him "like some sort of sea goddess".
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears during the first Christmas event four months before becoming a playable Servant. Everyone there admonishes him for not showing up in Orleans to help Jeanne and Siegfried defend his own country, and Santa Alter gives him a pumpkin from the first Halloween event, which as d'Eon states is supposed to represent he'll have to wait until the next year's Halloween event to be playable.
* HeavySleeper: After devouring all the party's food in his Interlude, he immediately falls asleep in the middle of a sentence. It's implied that the Master and Mash then spend the entirety of the night talking about Mash's past, and Astolfo is fast asleep throughout.
* IconicOutfit: If anything, Astolfo as seen in this game is heavily associated with the sailor fuku he's shown wearing in Epic of Remnant, second only to his default outfit.
* {{Keet}}: Cute, talkative, upbeat, and feminine.
* LapPillow: The protagonist wakes up receiving one from Astolfo when the party is [[spoiler:washed away to the Dragon Palace underwater]] in Agartha. Since [[UsefulNotes/{{Bisexual}} it's Astolfo]], the romantic overtones are intentional.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: A braid damn near as long as Jeanne's, and yep, he is amazingly pretty.
* {{Lunacy}}: According to the Matter of France, Astolfo traveled to the Moon to retrieve Orlando's lost sanity; the Moon being the place where all things lost on Earth eventually end up. Within the ''Fate'' universe, this means that Astolfo's "lost sanity" is also located on the Moon, and if the Moon is no longer in the sky (because it is obscured or during a new moon) then he regains a lot of his reasoning and tactical thinking, to the point where he can remember the True Name of his magical grimoire.
* MasterOfNone: Astolfo is ''severely'' undertuned as a Servant in ''Grand Order'', and a notorious example of how bad stats can hinder the viability of a unit. While his HP and Strength stats are okay for a Rider, his NP Generation and Critical Star Generation stats are extremely low, not appropriately compensated by his skills, and his Attack Cards have a low number of hits per card. This makes it incredibly hard to use his Noble Phantasm or generate Critical Stars, making him especially weak for a Quick-orientated Servant. He later received a number of {{Balance Buff}}s that significantly increased the power and consistency of his Noble Phantasm, shifting his niche towards that of a wave-farming Rider.
* MotorMouth: Which, "through no fault of his own," inevitably leads him to say too much.
* MulticoloredHair: Downplayed, but he sports a streak of white hair on his pink hair.
* NiceGuy: Extremely nice to just about anyone.
* NoSenseOfDirection: Early in his Interlude, he gets completely lost. The protagonist expecting this to happen really hammers in how frequently this occurs.
* NotCompletelyUseless: His lance, "Trap of Argalia: Down With A Touch!" is fairly useless when used as a combat weapon, or at the least doesn't confer any special advantages that a regular lance could not provide. Its only magical ability is to force an opponent to kneel (or cause the lower legs of a Servant to vanish) with a single hit. In ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'', this niche ability was the key to defeating [[spoiler:Adam, who was invulnerable to damage so long as one foot was on the Earth.]]
* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Being a Rider-class Servant, one of his Noble Phantasms is a Hippogriff that he rides which belonged to his cousin and fellow Paladin Bradamante. Being a Phantasmal Beast, it also has the ability to [[SpaceMaster teleport itself and its rider to the Reverse Side of the World briefly]] to avoid attacks, which is represented in-game by his NP granting him an Evade buff after use. However, [[AwesomeButImpractical because overusing this ability drains Astolfo's Mana reserves rapidly]], the Evade buff only lasts for three attacks.
* PinkHeroine: Gender inverted; he is a Servant of Black whose image colour is rose pink.
* PluckyComicRelief: Actual literature fact, no less. He barely even gets mentioned in the stories most people associate with [[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Roland]], instead he gets starring roles in more light-hearted and fantasy adventure stories written during the Italian Renaissance.
* ThePollyanna: Described as being "eternally optimistic".
* RedBaron: 12th Paladin of Charlemagne.
* RoseHairedSweetie: Male example, fitting the "cheery and optimistic" subtype.
* SailorFuku: He wears a pink one during "Woman of Agartha" to infiltrate the Nightless City in Agartha.
* SayingTooMuch: Which quickly leads to maximum awkwardness. It's a side effect of his Deprivation of Sanity skill. He simply cannot be trusted to keep secrets (Even things like True Names or Noble Phantasms) without accidentally blabbing. On the plus side it acts like Instinct in battle, letting him pick the best course of action in a fight.
* ShapedLikeItself: Astolfo manages to give a non-answer if you ask him about his Likes and Dislikes in My Room:
--> [Likes]: "Things that I like? Everything! I like everything in the world except for the things I hate!"\\
[Dislikes]: "Things that I hate? Hmm, nothing. I like almost everything in this world!"
* SignatureHeadgear: His black ribbons, which he says are "an irresistible proof of friendship" that he used to restore peace between him and his ally [[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Orlando]].
* SitcomArchNemesis: To Jeanne, as they compete for the position of the most popular character in ''Apocrypha'' and beyond, and engage in silly bickering to do so.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: In his Interlude, Astolfo tracks down Roland with the help of a horse and its rider describing how Roland had messed with them. Astolfo directly asks, "mister horse, do you know where the naked guy who rode you went?" and the horse replies with a neigh that Astolfo translates as "Follow me." Regardless of whether or not he actually understood the horse, it does indeed lead the party the right way.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: In Agartha, Astolfo is the wise guy to d'Eon's StraightMan as the pair are the master's Chaldean-native escorts. Astolfo will be playing with Fou, flirting with the master, or cracking jokes while d'Eon remains professional and diligent as a bodyguard.
* TraumaButton: PlayedForLaughs in Agartha, where the Amazons threaten to enslave the men in the party and chain them up, Astolfo mentions with a disturbed expression he remembers something from his time in ''Apocrypha'', specifically how his Master Celenike wanted to do the same to him. [[note]]Maybe downplayed in the same time because in ''Apocrypha'', that wasn't the traumatizing event for Astolfo since he managed to endure said tortures and act like nothing ever happened without mind scar. The actual trauma was being put under three Command Spells to horribly mutilate Sieg because Celenike is a completely sadistic bitch, and followed up with almost dying because Mordred murdered Celenike right after, but that left him Master-less and about to vanish for good if it wasn't for Sieg taking up the mantle. Nothing of sorts happen during the whole Agartha Sub-Singularity.[[/note]]
* TheUnfettered:
** He does whatever he wants, when he wants. If he doesn't want to use up mana for an attack, he won't. If he thinks a course of action was a good one, despite everyone around him disagreeing, he'll say so.
** It is also the reason he's crossdressing despite not being transgender or anything similar: he likes cute things, and he finds his outfit cute. So he wears it and doesn't give a damn about what others think. This trope is the main reason he's described as Chaotic in spite of otherwise being a proud [[AlwaysLawfulGood paladin]].
* WardrobeMalfunction: Almost has one of these in Agartha while adjusting the skirt of his SailorFuku. d'Eon yells at him to stop because no one wants to see what he has under there, both for decency and the fact he would out their cover.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: He wears a skirt, garterbelt, and thigh-high stockings, which combined with his long hair makes him look very feminine. The reason he dresses like this is because it amused Roland and since Astolfo didn't mind, he decided to go for it.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: [[GenderInvertedTrope Male example]]; he is stated to be "beautiful beyond compare".
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Rose pink with a streak of white.
* ZettaiRyouiki:
** While in his armour, his thigh-highs go above his knees, but leave enough space for a fair amount of skin exposure between them and his plateskirt.
** In his Memories of Trifas outfit, his pantyhose goes above his knees and beyond to the point that there's no bare skin exposed below his skirt.

->''"Fufu, quite fortunate. You are, that is. Bartholomew Roberts. I have come in response to your summons. Now then, let us devote ourselves to the deeds of a pirate in an orderly manner."''
The most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy who is said to have plundered 400 ships throughout the Carribean Sea. He's known to be a bold, charismatic and fearless captain and loves to wear fine clothing and jewelry. He was killed by grapeshot while he stood on deck. His crew conducted a burial at sea as his last request.\\\
He first debuts in "A Study in the Dubious Meiho-sou", claiming to have lost his memory and joins up with Chaldea's film project under the name of "Salazar", the character he plays. It's not until the fourth anniversary special that he first becomes playable. He also appears in Lostbelt No. 5: Atlantis as an ally.
----
* AffablyEvil: While almost relentlessly genial and courteous, he's still a ''pirate'', and one of history's most prolific, no less.
* AlphaStrike: He commands his ships to surround and fire cannons at enemies in his Noble Phantasm.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Since he was born in Wales, it is hard to tell if he either has really dark tan or if he is naturally dark-skinned. ''A General History of the Pyrates'' describes him having a dark complexion.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's very handsome in a pretty boy-sense, with a slender figure and not-too rugged face.
* ChivalrousPervert: Polite, friendly, always helpful, and really, ''really'' outspoken about his fetishes. He could honestly give Blackbeard himself a run for his money in that regard, but he presents himself a lot better.
* CriticalHitClass: {{Inverted}}. His skill set encourages him to help generate crit stars, but his second skill helps him reduce his own star absorption, enabling his allies higher chances to use them instead. Given his class is Rider, which are high star stealers, this makes him someone who works best ''without'' critical stars for himself, but instead provide them.
* TheDandy: Quite fussy about his appearance and badgers the protagonist about getting him new clothes in his ascension lines.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Salazar and his missing memories serve as a major driving force behind the Meiho-sou event, with Salazar himself receiving a good deal of focus in the process.
* DressedToPlunder: And gets moreso with each ascension.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Protagonist and Jeanne d'Arc Alter can't help but remember something Blackbeard told them during the 2018 summer event, where he described a pirate with an interest in girls with hair covering one eye. "Salazar" having an interest in Mash along with the sound of cannon fire serving as a trigger for his memories bring to mind the pirate in question: [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfPiracy Bartholomew Roberts]], his true identity.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler: Disappears towards the end of Atlantis after one hell of a naval chase scene, content with having carried Orion to the destination against Lostbelt Artemis.]]
* HasAType: Loses his train of thought if women with PeekABangs talk to him and immediately becomes slavishly devoted to their every word. His profile says that [[ExtremeOmnisexual he doesn't care about gender or if they are even human]], as long as they have bangs that cover one or both eyes, he is attracted to them.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In Atlantis, he gives his all and burns himself out to get Orion in firing position against Lostbelt Artemis. Afterwards, [[GoOutWithASmile he fades away content with having carried hope to its destination.]]]]
* IdentityAmnesia: In the Meiho-sou event, he claims that he lost all of his memories, so he goes by the name "Salazar".
* NiceHat: Gains an impressive pirate hat for his 2nd and 3rd ascensions.
* NoodleIncident: He takes time in Atlantis to explain ''why'' he's so obsessed with bangs covering eyes to the protagonists, but it's an OrphanedPunchline that doesn't elucidate anything.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Salazar" is merely the name he took after his character in Murasaki's script. His real name is Bartholomew Roberts.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Gains an impressive one for his 3rd ascension.
* ShipperOnDeck: He admires Mash for her PeekABangs, but at the same time, he tells the protagonist to ''never'', ''ever'' lose such a wonderful girl from their side.
* SituationalSword: His Noble Phantasm has one of the strangest special damage targets in the game, which is that it does more damage against ''Bronze rarity'' enemies. The Noble Phantasm's description says that it can't reach its full power if the target is a famous captain or a military officer.
* StockholmSyndrome: How he got his start in piracy. Roberts originally was a second mate on a merchant ship who was taken prisoner in a pirate raid. He wound up getting on with the crew so well that, when the original captain died a mere six weeks later, they decided to make Roberts captain in his place.
* SwordAndGun: He wields a swords and a pistol in combat.
* SupportPartyMember: His skills are focused around providing support to Quick allies. His first skill increases damage and NP damage, his second skill buffs the parties crit damage and cuts off his star absorption for three turns so other allies can use them, and his third skill buffs Quick cards and provides stars. His support utility for his rarity makes him very useful.
* TraumaButton: During filming, he is made to act like he is having war flashbacks when hearing cannon fire. However, since Roberts was killed by cannon fire, it ends up returning his memories and causes his Spirit Origin to rapidly change until he becomes a giant ghost, forcing others to calm him down.
* YouRemindMeOfX: He notes that Mash reminds him of someone, specifically her eyes and hair.

->''"My name is Boudica, nice to meet you! Don't mind the formalities."''
[[UsefulNotes/{{Boudica}} A young warrior-queen]] of the British frontierlands that held off Roman might for decades before she was finally overwhelmed by Nero, after which she either killed herself to spare herself further disgrace or died of an illness. Her name has resurfaced in Victorian Britain as the "Queen of Victory". This version represents her younger, more idealistic self before being worn by Rome.\\\
She appears as an ally in Rome, serving as Nero's main general.
----
* AllLovingHero: She says if she could get a wish on the Holy Grail, she would wish that Britain would be peaceful and that everybody: the British, the faeries, the Celtic gods, and the people of different nations as well as their children would be able to laugh and live together in paradise.
* BadassCape: Third ascension decks her out with a really fancy one of white and red, complete with fur lining.
* BadassInCharge: Upon her husband's death, she was to be named inheritor to his title of chief of the Iceni tribe, only to be denied that title by the occupying Roman forces. Needless to say, she didn't let that stick for long, and led a revolution that left its impact on Britain and Rome for all of time. In Rome, she serves as a general in Nero's army and is respected by almost everyone.
* BalanceBuff: Her Oath of the Goddess was made into Queen of Victory via Rank Up Quest to now provide a party wide damage buff when fighting Romans and a crit damage buff for three turns. While this doesn't make her all that useful still, she can now be used for specific fights to provide extra damage against enemies with Roman traits and provide her allies with a flat damage buff.
* BerserkButton: She really hates Romans, especially Nero, for what they did to her family and people, though she is willing to grudgingly work with them against a greater threat.
* BigDamnHeroes: She shows up and uses her Noble Phantasm in conjunction with Mash's in order to save the party from being annihilated by Altera's Noble Phantasm near the end of Rome.
* CleavageWindow: Present throughout her entire Ascension line.
* CoolBigSis: Seems to act like and sometimes refers to herself as one. In the Rome segment this is especially prominent towards Mash, who she says [[YouRemindMeOfX reminds her of her little sister]]. It also doesn't help that when you look at it, their Noble Phantasms are almost virtually identical. In fact, according to her Materials, she acts like a Big Sister towards all British Servants, especially the Knights of the Round Table. Considering she’s the oldest known British Heroic Spirit, this kind of makes sense.
* CrutchCharacter: A weird and bizarre example of this and LethalJokeCharacter. While she can tank well with her high HP, Noble Phantasm and Battle Continuation can provide an excellent tanking against enemies that aren't Assassins, Alter Egos or Berserkers, along with her Interludes and Rank Up quests that improved her and with the release of Romulus-Quirinus, can hit hard as well. However, compared to Mash, who eventually gets an upgrade to her Noble Phantasm that provides both offensive and defensive buffs, but also has no deployment cost compared to Boudica, and later is outclassed by Mash in skills. That said, she's still a great damage dealer due her arts buffs and synchronization with Romulus-Quirinus, and while Mash does get nerfed to a rather unimpressive damage-tank in ''Cosmos In The Lostbelt'', she still retains enough utility to be useful.
* EnemyMine: In Rome, she states that the reason she's fighting for Rome and Nero, the very enemies she fought against in life, is because she sees the United Empire as something far worse.
* GreenEyedRedhead: Though like many Nasuverse characters, her eyes can also be viewed as either teal or aqua.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: She admits to Nero in Solomon that she can never forgive Rome for what they did to her daughters, her lands, and her people... but she also admits that in taking her revenge, [[NotSoDifferent she committed similar acts on many Roman men and women, particularly in Londinium]], so perhaps no one was truly innocent.
* {{Irony}}:
** Her first skill increases damage against enemies with the Roman trait, which includes Spartacus, who also fought against the Romans in life.
** Thanks to Romulus-Quirinus, who has the ability to turn enemies into Romans, one of Rome's greatest enemies pairs quite well on-paper with it's founder.
* JokeCharacter: Mechanically she's one of the worst characters - her first skill is even ''more'' situational than Siegfried's third even before the latter skill received a [[BalanceBuff Rank Up Quest]], and like him, the majority of enemies it can target (enemies with the Roman trait) are part of the three Knights class - who Boudica, a Rider-class, deals normal damage to[[note]]and even if you only look at Servants who naturally have the Roman trait that she has a class advantage against, she still loses out to Siegfried - he has 6 targets (both versions of Kiyohime, both versions of Lancer Artoria, Elisabeth Báthory, and Mysterious Heroine X Alter), whereas Boudica only has 3 (Caster Nero, Caligula, and Spartacus)[[/note]]. Her attack is very poor without her first skill, and while she does have a defense-based Noble Phantasm, high health, and the somewhat useful Battle Continuation, the lack of a Taunt skill and defense bonus pretty much make her a watered down version of Mash - who not only is the first servant you get in the game, but costs ''0 MP'' to use. Even if you take Mash out of the equation[[labelnote:spoiler note]][[spoiler:which does happen in the game during the Solomon Singularity]][[/labelnote]], she's still inferior to another Rider built to be a tank, St. George, who lacks the defensive NP, but more than makes up for it by having a Taunt Skill that doubles as a defense buff, and also has Battle Continuation - and he's a ''2 star''. Events treat her as a female version of Blackbeard, with the first Summer event having her swimsuit version be a 3-star CE, and the second one had her change class into an Avenger because while said CE was one of the more popular 3-stars, she didn't get a swimsuit version. Nobunaga even outright says that she needs to stop with reasoning like that or no one will ever take her seriously again (and noting she herself has long since given up any hope of being serious).
* LethalJokeCharacter: However, after the release of Romulus-Quirinus, her [[CripplingOverspecialization incredibly niche]] kit has skyrocketed in overall effectiveness because of his ability to pass the Roman trait onto enemies. Suddenly, her first skill which was entirely situational is now applicable all the time and the damage values on it are absurd, with a 60% ATK and 50% Crit Strength increase at max level for 3 turns for ALL allies after her BalanceBuff. This coupled with her 3 turn Arts Buff and her NP boosting ATK and Def and suddenly everyone, even Boudica herself, is capable of dealing high damage to the enemy. It is not hyperbole to say that she is far more useable now than she ever was, even in Septem.
* LegendaryWeapon: Her Sword of Boudica is actually a complete subversion. It's just a fancy sword, explicitly pointed out to NOT have properties like Excalibur's. It can fire bolts of energy, but they're not that impressive. It's not holy or made by fairies, it doesn't have a promise of victory, or anything amazing. All its power comes from Boudica's own belief that her sword will bring her victory.
* LoveConfession: Her bond five line has her stating that she doesn't hate the protagonist before reprimanding herself for speaking so unclearly and coming out and saying that she loves them, both as a Master and person.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: More of a buckler in her case.
* MamaBear: Definitely qualifies as this, considering her backstory. When Rome denied her the inheritance of tribal leadership following her husband's death, then publicly flogged her and raped her daughters, she responded by uniting the other tribes of Britannia and leading a revolution that nearly pushed the Romans out of their territory. Her forces razed Londinium (what is now modern-day London) with such ferocity that there are still scorch marks four metres below London, which archaeologists refer to as "The Boudica Destruction Layer." To say she is not to be trifled with is an understatement.
* MarshmallowHell: Briefly subjects Mash to this upon declaring herself [[CoolBigSis her sister]] in Rome.
* MasterOfNone: A victim of early game bad design. She's specialized in fighting Romans and being a defensive support Servant, but she's the wrong class to fight the largely knight class Romans, she doesn't have the stats to pull it off anyway and her support options are pretty weak. Namely, once her NP upgrade rolled around people floated the idea that maybe she could be a budget Mash since their [=NPs=] have very similar effects, only to realize that she can hardly be budget Mash when she uses ''more'' cost. As a result, for a while she was generally considered to be a contender for worst Servant in the game let alone for her rarity. After her BalanceBuff and, much more importantly, the eventual release of Romulus-Quirinus, this no longer holds true since at the very least, she cannot be considered nearly as bad as Servants like Phantom or Caster!Gilles.
* MeaningfulName: Her name means "Victory".
* MyGreatestFailure: States that part of the reason she fights to protect Rome may have to do with her guilt for the deaths of the innocents in Londinium and she seeks to spare Rome's citizens a similar fate.
* NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow: Has Battle Continuation, which manifests as [[BackFromTheDead resurrection]] after taking a lethal hit in the game.
* NotAfraidToDie: In "Dead Heat Summer Race," during a GameOfChicken race to the mouth of a volcano, she declares she doesn't care if she dies as long as she wins. She wins by driving her chariot into the volcano itself, but Nero saves her from falling in.
* NotCompletelyUseless: The release of Romulus-Quirinus and his ability to impart the Roman trait onto enemies turns her into a very potent party damage support with her first skill.
* OfCorsetsSexy: From her second ascension card onwards. Before that she is wearing what appears to be a [[{{Stripperiffic}} bikini]] and sleeves.
* PowerCreep: She was never ''good'', but she's the go-to example for why early-game Servants tend to be really bad or at least required a lot of buffs to make them workable. Newer Servants tend to have much more synergy in their kits and less terrible SituationalSword abilities.
* PsychologicalProjection: In "Dead Heat Summer Race", she reveals she assumed the other British Servants like Altria Alter hate the Romans just like she does. She is thrown for a loop when Altria Alter says she has nothing against the Romans.
* RageBreakingPoint: PlayedForLaughs in "Dead Heat Summer Race," and Boudica herself is treated zigzaggedly serious. The reason why she changed from a nice older sister Servant to a furious Avenger this time is because [[BreakingTheFourthWall she's angry that she was a mere 3* Craft Essence last Summer event and still doesn't have a swimsuit version]]. She also brings up her historic past against Nero and the Romans and the loss of her daughters and land, but the sheer length of the swimsuit rant (and her apologies later for bringing up old history) shows that ''this'' is what triggered her transformation.
--> "I was told to wear a swimsuit and sit in a hammock, where numerous photos were then taken of me! I was a little embarrassed, but I agreed because I thought it would make everyone happy. And when I was then told that the resulting photos were some of the more popular 3* entries, I dared to believe that when this year's summer event rolled around... I might even get a playable swimsuit version of myself!"
* RapunzelHair: From third ascension onward she has waist-length hair. Her Arcade incarnation was also given a wearable costume that gives her a modified appearance: it's her second ascension's appearance, but has the long hair of her third, and gives her the hair flowers she has in her Formal Outfit.
* RetiredMonster:
** There's a notable discrepancy between her Servant personality and the account of living witnesses in Rome. The Boudica as Servant is notably a kind-hearted older sister type who tends the wounds of her hated enemies, while the Boudica Nero remembers was the barbarian queen whose shadow was so large for the Roman, Nero doesn't even realized she already died several years prior Septem storyline. Most telling is her Noble Phantasm; the wheels of her chariot, AKA the dreaded [[SpikedWheels Boudica Spikes]], are used to shield her comrades, not to maim her enemies. It is hinted that the stark difference is because of the nature of Heroic Spirits which makes them AllPowerfulBystander by default because their 'story' as a hero ended by their death, thus old revenge is below them. She's also rather ashamed that [[HeWhoFightsMonsters in the end she invited the very same injustices on otherwise-innocent Romans in the name of vengeance]].
** That said, she has several lines that imply she still has hard feelings against Nero and that if the United Empire [[EnemyMine wasn't a bigger threat]] she'd be right back to fighting her during the Rome singularity. It's implied her vengeance towards the Romans qualifies her for the Avenger class. Her lines in "Garden of Order" show her darker emotions of fury at the Romans.
---> "I won't go back. There's no place for me to go back to. That's because... everything... YOU TOOK EVERYTHING. We were the king's only family. My daughter and I were all he had. That's why I was going to inherit the throne... Yet I was told women have no right to inheritance... YOU BASTARDS! YOU ROMANS TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! I had forgotten. I tried to distract myself with the cause of "saving humanity." However... this anger. This hatred. This vengeance... I won't let anybody get in my way, no matter who it is!"
* SituationalSword: Even worse than Siegfried, who at least has a damaging NP, the occasional Lancer Dragon to work with and post-[[BalanceBuff Rank Up Quests]] is competent even outside his niche. She has a skill that lets her deal extra damage to Romans, but since most of them are knight classes this is pretty much worthless with only Nero Summer and Caligula being weak to her. And since she has no damaging NP and BAAQQ deck, she's not much good for that either. To add insult to injury, Nero Summer has a skill that removes her class disadvantages, so Boudica has still a hard time to fight her arch-nemesis. To put this in perspective, when the skill was finally buffed, it was made into a ''party-wide'' buff.
* SquareRaceRoundClass: From a story perspective, she doesn't really seem to hit in the Rider class, something brought up in several different events. She uses her infamous SpikedWheels for defense rather than offense, and is more friendly and cheerful then one with her infamy in history would lead you to believe. Its been hinted several times she actually would be at her best as an Avenger, but doing so would make her the vengeful person history documented her as, implying she is purposely limiting herself.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's one of the game's tallest female characters at 174 cm, and has an impressive figure. [[MarshmallowHell All the better for hugging Mash!]]
* StoneWall: She has high HP, her Noble Phantasm gives the party a two layer defensive buff that lasts for one and three turns respectively (and after being upgraded will provide an attack buff for three turns), and her Battle Continuation skill means she can quickly bounce back from a fatal hit. On the other hand, she has low attack and an incredibly situational skill that only provides bonus damage against Roman enemies (which only mostly appear in Rome and come in one of the three Knight classes).
* {{Stripperific}}: Her first ascension outfit lacks any kind of protection for her lower body and leaves very little to your imagination.
* SwordBeam: Not part of her animations in-game, but her profile in the Materials book says she can do this with her second Noble Phantasm, Sword of Boudica. Unlike other examples in ''Fate'' such as Excalibur, hers are small mana bullets like something out of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''.
* SupremeChef:
** She is very good at cooking as mentioned during the Valentine event by Shakespeare and EMIYA, and her chocolate gift is an ''entire cake'' that she originally meant to share with others before giving the entire thing to the protagonist. Even Altera went to her for help for making chocolate.
** In Septem, she was responsible for the soldier's meals, and she's one of the staff members of Chaldea's kitchen, which also include EMIYA, Tamamo Cat and Raikou.
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Boudica, [[MasterOfNone for all of her many faults from a gameplay perspective,]] has always been useful against Roman enemies. This has meant that certain types of quests make her useful such as the fight against Romulus in Battle of New York.
** This is taken UpToEleven in Lostbelt 5 Part 2 in the fight against [[spoiler: Zeus because you have a forced story-support in Romulus Quirinus and have to have Mash in your front line. The fight itself is very gimmick-based, with a player needing to take out two bow-like extensions. While Romulus can deal a lot of damage, he's a bit of a GlassCannon because of how much damage Zeus can deal out and while Mash receives minimal damage, her offense is so poor that a bad hand could cause a Master to fail to take out a bow-like extensions in time. However, Boudica's Arts buff and party-wide anti-Roman damage after her BalanceBuff really helps boosts Mash's offense especially since Romulus Quirinus will frequently be applying the Roman trait to the enemy. And Boudica's NP will add additional defense to keep Romulus Quirinus alive.]] Other supports work too of course but Boudica is a very friendly option for free-to-play Master since all players are likely to have her at this point.
* YoungerAndHipper: Nero claimed she might be younger than the barbarian queen she remembered. Boudica herself insists to be a CoolBigSis instead of a MamaBear.

->''"Oh my, what a coincidence... I look different? Hehe, I see. Even so, don't think that I've changed from being a dangerous woman. Be careful, Master."''
The vampire countess realized that unlike her younger self Elisabeth, she lacks her own castle. So in order to get herself money to buy one, she used her beauty to pose as a summer celebrity at day, as well as her wits and sneakiness to be a phantom thief named "Mistress C" at night.\\\
One of the summer Servants for the fourth Summer event.
----
* BerserkButton: She strictly follows her code of elegance and manners, so she doesn't take overly brash women like Drake very well.
* CallingCard: She has a simple red card with a stylized Doberman and her title. A unique sound cue plays to emphasize it as her signature warning.
* CanineCompanion: She's accompanied by two Dobermans, though her second and third ascensions reveal that they're actually {{Robot Dog}}s with both Mecha-Elisabeths' coloration.
* CarFu: Her Noble Phantasm is her Iron Maiden revamped, now named "Testarossa Maiden" to be her getaway car, which she uses to run over enemies.
* CriticalHitClass: All over the place. For starters, she's a Rider with the naturally highest Critical Star Gather weight, and she has high hitcounts on a Quick-leaning card deck. Her first skill debuffs an enemy's Critical Resistance (effectively, an up-to-50% critical damage buff against this one target) and conjures a burst of Critical Stars. Her second skill decreases a single enemy's own chance to critically hit. Her Noble Phantasm debuffs all foes' Quick resistance, meaning the entire party's Quick cards create more Stars, do more damage, and generate more NP gauge. She even has two passives, with a ''buffed'' Presence Concealment increasing Critical Star Drop Rate and Independent Action buffing critical damage.
* FemmeFataleSpy: She's posed like a female agent who lurks at night, although she is actually a phantom thief.
* LifeDrain: Her Mistress C skill allows her to drain health from all enemies and then heal her, the first playable Servant to be able to do so.
* LighterAndSofter: It's clear that Carmilla has mellowed out ''immensely'' since joining Chaldea. Not only is her My Room and ascension dialogue lacking her usual sadistic tone, she starts very casual before becoming coyly affectionate. She's very obviously in love by Bond 4.
* LittleUselessGun: Carmilla uses a very short pistol.
* MarilynManeuver: She does this in the Las Vegas Tournament trailer, though she expresses little emotion at the wind suddenly lifting her dress up.
* NiceHat: She wears a large hat that complements her night dress.
* NoblewomansLaugh: She laughs "Ohohoho!" before making fun of Elisabeth and her ChainmailBikini.
* PhantomThief: She decided to reinvent herself as one for the summer, committing several thieveries in Las Vegas.
* PunnyName: CAR-milla anyone?
* ShesAllGrownUp: Mysterious Alter Ego Λ's reaction to her in My Room. Λ is shocked to learn that Elisabeth's grown-up version is such an elegant and fashionable lady.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After being overshadowed by Elisabeth in almost any event they appeared in, she finally gets one over on her by getting a swimsuit variant before her, and she's ''very'' happy about it.

->''"My goodness! What a coincidence! Fahaha! Blackbeard has come to see you! Green is the enemy!"''
Edward Teach, better known as "UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}}", was probably the most notorious pirate in the world, with records of his acts of savagery throughout the West Indies striking fear to sailor and pirate alike, even his own men. It took a surprise attack from the Royal Navy to finally put an end to his reign of terror, with the dreaded pirate defiant to the bitter end.\\\
He's an antagonist in the Third Singularity: Sealed Ends of the Four Seas Okeanos and a minor "[[TheFriendNobodyLikes ally]]" in the first Summer event, "Chaldea Summer Memory". He also sneaks into the first half of the second Summer event, "Dead Heat Summer Race."
----
* BadassCrew: His ship, ''Queen Anne's Revenge'', gets stronger when boarded by heroes. With more heroes boarding the ship, its reputation as ''the'' most fearsome vessel in the world becomes more assured and the ship as the Noble Phantasm will gain a popularity boost according to this. With Eric, Bonny, Read, and Hektor as its crew, ''Queen Anne's Revenge'' is stronger than the ''Golden Hind''; that's a C rank NP being stronger than an A+ rank NP.
* BareFistedMonk: He uses his fists, and a ''wicked''-looking hook after second ascension.
* BeardOfBarbarism: Although replacing barbarism with piracy.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He is the most famous of all pirates, no matter how much of a dork he can be, and can prove to be a fearsome opponent. Except in the comedy-based events, where his main role is to be the ButtMonkey of the cast.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: He gains a wrist-mounted hook in his first ascension.
* BoringButPractical: Love him or hate him, Teach fills a very specific and niche spot as an [=AoE=] Buster NP Servant in a class where the number of said types of Riders can be counted nearly on one hand. He can buff the parties NP damage and attack, buff his own as well as provide himself Guts, and heal allies. All of this from a low rarity Servant. If you missed out getting Altria Alter (Santa), he's the most readily available Servant to fill this niche.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When the party learns the amnesiac Bartholomew Roberts' true identity, Moriarty comments that if they had Blackbeard with them, he could have identified Bart right away since they knew each other. Tristan points out that wouldn't have worked; since he only cares about women, he never bothers to remember men's faces.
* ButtMonkey: While not without his strengths, he's more or less the game's Dan Hibiki during the main story and side events. By the third iteration of "Nero Fest", he's paired up with Hektor and instead of getting a formidable moniker like every other squad, their team is named ''Enjoy Nero Fest'' and then put on the very bottom rung of the tournament's preliminaries.
* ComboPlatterPowers: He's this trope during the initial release of the game. His Voyager of the Storm Skill (also shared by Drake and Columbus) has traits of Charisma and Military Tactics. Pirate's Honor, a Skill he shares with Anne Bonny and Mary Read, combines Bravery with Battle Continuation. [[{{Powercreep}} As the game progressed]], combining weaker Skills together like this became commonplace to the point of being hardly noticeable.
* ComedicLolicon: His interest in little girls like Illya is mostly played for laughs and he never actually does anything besides proclaim how much he loves little girls and would like to meet them. The closest he's ever come to actually doing anything physical is in the first Summer event with Mary Read and he's easily repelled by the others. This personality quirk might be caused by [[InJoke a myth that Edward Teach's wife, Mary Ormond, was 14 years old when they married]]. However, there isn't any historical evidence supporting this.
* CoolBoat: His Noble Phantasm, [[MoreDakka Queen Anne's Revenge]]: Revenge of Queen Anne.
* TheCorrupter: Parodied during "Garden of Order" where he turns Anne Bonny and Mary Read into lazy, slobbish shut-ins after introducing them to the cheap, sedentary thrills of the internet.
* DirtyOldMan: He harasses Mash and Euryale with his eyes and his reason for getting the Grail is dubious.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Blackbeard is set up to be the main scourge of the Okeanos segment of the game, but is defeated and stands down halfway through the segment, being replaced as an antagonist by [[spoiler:Jason.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:He doesn't seem too upset at all as he dies in Okeanos despite being betrayed by Hektor. In fact, he's rather jovial through his LastWords, laughing about how he got to keep his head and flirting with Drake.]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Pretty much everybody in Okeanos treats him without respect, including his own crew. Anne Bonny & Mary Read in particular think he's a perverted idiot and more than once express their desire to kill him or get killed just to be done with him (though they give him the half-assed compliment he's not "the worst" captain they've had to put up with), and Eric [[TheBerserker is too crazy to really care]]. Hektor is the only one who's actually sane and somewhat respects him, if only [[ObfuscatingStupidity because he respected Blackbeard's hidden craftiness in keeping his Grail safe]]. [[spoiler:Not even [[EvenEvilHasStandards the Demon Pillars, the ones enacting the whole incineration-of-humanity plot, think of him as anything but trash]].]]
* FriendToAllChildren: Besides his [[ComedicLolicon unabashed and somewhat creepy love]] of girls who are OlderThanTheyLook (a la Mary, Euryale, and Helena), he really likes actual children, which unfortunately gets him MistakenForPedophile by the protagonist. One of the more wholesome displays of this trope is in the Christmas Craft Essence Snow Pirates, where Blackbeard dressed in a snowman outfit is happily chasing around and playing with Bunyan and the (less-pleased) Assassin of Nightless City. Mary, however, is still as antagonistic as ever towards Blackbeard in the background.
* TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson: His references come out of nowhere.
* GreenEyedMonster: He conscripts Spartacus and Mephistopheles to wage war on "normies" during the first Valentine's Day event because he didn't receive any chocolates. (In the Japanese, this was against "riajuus", which is a term that explicitly refers to people with fulfillment in real life, ie., a significant other. "Go explode, riajuu!" is a Japanese internet meme, thus his "NORMIES EXPLODE!")
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: During his Valentine's Day cutscene, he is vertically bisected by Altera when he attempts to share his private collection of "photo books" with the protagonist.
* HaremSeeker: His reason for getting the grail is this.
* HiddenDepths: If Semiramis' doves are to be believed, Teach wrote an avant-garde science fiction novel that became a number one best-seller.
* HonorAmongThieves: Seems to be implied with one of his Personal Skills, Honor of Pirates.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: While he normally targets girls, it's implied that he's attracted to Astolfo and [[AmbiguousGender d'Eon]]. His third skill has a bonus heal on female Servants, which also works on both Astolfo and d'Eon (keep in mind that due to their in game genders, they aren't usually affected by things that would only affect females), and when both of them are in a schoolgirl outfit and a maid outfit respectively [[spoiler:and they are trying to conceal their true names in the Nightless Castle by calling out ridiculous names for themselves]] the protagonist has the option of asking Mash to send a recording to Blackbeard. Due to Blackbeard's Otaku status, it was probably an intentional reference to the Otokonoko genre. While the skill works on other Genderless Servants besides Qin Shi Huang (who is male in a genderless body), the other Servants are more geared towards being female[[note]]Enkidu has NoBiologicalGender, Avenger Nobunaga's gender confusion only revolves around Kippoushi, Dioscuri are a SiblingTeam and Caenis is at the very least summoned in a female body[[/note]].
* InSeriesNickname: During Okeanos, Mash refers to him as "Mistah Blackbeard" after he introduces himself as such.
* LastChanceHitPoint: Pirate's Honor gives him an Attack Buff, decreases his Mental Debuff Resistance, and gives him an ''infinite'' Guts. If that last effect is activated, however, he will be revived with only 1 single hit point no matter how high the Skill is leveled.
* LastRequest: [[spoiler:While dying, he asks Drake to hold him until he finally dies. She obliges. This is changed in the English version to them bantering together as he dies.]]
* MadeOfIron: As stated above, he's got an A rank in Endurance. He's so confident in his durability that he offers to be Altria Lily's training dummy for her Noble Phantasm training during "Saber Wars" (with [[DirtyOldMan perverted ulterior motives]], of course). To his credit, he manages to get back up after being [[GroinAttack hit in the groin]] by Lily's Caliburn ''twice in a row''.
* MightyGlacier: Stats-wise, with an E-ranked Agility and the rest of his physical stats clocking in at B+ for Strength and A for Endurance.
* MoreDakka: Summoning ''Queen Anne's Revenge'' allows him to devastate his opponents with a barrage of cannonfire.
* MotorMouth: He can talk really fast at times. Usually when saying something ridiculous.
* NoShirtLongJacket: After getting a coat in his third ascension stage.
* ObfuscatingStupidity:
** He's definitely weird, but it's implied at several points he intentionally plays it up to keep people from taking him seriously as a threat. Hektor himself praises him in Okeanos for always keeping the Grail on his person and always having one hand on a gun, to the point he had to wait until Blackbeard was at death's door fighting the protagonist to finally steal it off him.
** He also appears during Rider of the Resistance's Interlude, [[spoiler:where he's present amongst Moriarty and Mephistopheles as the 'villains group' that Columbus is a part of and confessed his two-faced nature with. Considering this is [[BitchInSheepsClothing Columbus]] we're talking about, Blackbeard seems to be ''really'' good in this trope.]]
* OffWithHisHead:
** He mentions during Okeanos that this was how he died in real life. [[spoiler:When he does die in Okeanos, he's rather happy about keeping it this time.]]
** It actually happens to him again in "[=ServaFes=] 2018" when he makes the mistake of sneaking up on Ushiwakamaru. He's able to activate Pirate's Honor in time and survives, confusing everyone who saw his head go flying.
* OrnamentalWeapon: He is stated to wield a gun just like pirates do, however his artwork doesn't depict him possessing one nor he does use one for his in-game attacks outside of the ''Arcade'' spin-off.
* {{Otaku}}: Enjoys looking at cute girls a bit too much, his interlude is about looking for {{Doujinshi}} at Pirate Comiket, he speaks like he's typing on ImageBoards, and then there's his stage 4 art. No one, not even his profile, is quite sure of where that comes from. Even his Valentine presents are explicit doujin!
* RedBaron: Blackbeard, it being his most famous moniker and what people tend to remember him as.
* RedemptionDemotion: Mash grumbles that while he was a troublesome enemy, he became a nigh-useless ally once he was actually summoned to Chaldea. Blackbeard wholeheartedly agrees with her in "Saber Wars".
* SillinessSwitch: His Stage 4 artwork is this in spades. As he goes from the downright intimidating Stage 3 artwork to playing with figures of Mash and Marie.
* SupportPartyMember: In practice he functions better as a buffer since his skills include an Attack and NP Buff as well as a heal that has bonus effect on females (as well as other certain other characters).
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: His ''Arcade'' version utilises explosives with his combos.
* TheUnfought: Inverted during Kara no Kyoukai - you have to fight him as a part of the fight against Anne Bonny and Mary Reed, but he's presented as a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere - he's mentioned during the cutscene, but he doesn't appear at all outside of the fight.
* UnroboticReveal: His cameo in "Dead Heat Summer Race" is supposedly as a mere robot with Blackbeard's personality uploaded to be a beauty judge. His verbose rants on swimsuit exposure and [[ComedicLolicon obvious biases]] anger most of the ladies enough that he predictably gets attacked and revealed as the same old Blackbeard just wearing a suit of armor pretending to be a robot.
* TrueLoveIsExceptional: His BelligerentSexualTension with Drake actually seems more serious than his [[ComedicLolicon lolicon thing]], and she's [[GagBoobs very much]] not his usual type. He repeatedly brings this up as a diss against her, but he's clearly just hiding his true feelings. [[CrazyJealousGuy The fact that he pulls out a dagger]] on when Bartholomew makes a move on Drake on the former's My Room Dialogue only furthers this.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Even after getting a BadassLongcoat in his third ascension artwork, he still bares his chest.

->''"I am Europa. How do you do? Ahh, let's see... right, what was it again... Ri.. Riden... That's right, Riden! I have materialized under the Riden class--yes, what is it, Talos? Hm... that's wrong? It's not Riden, but Rider? Oh my, ahem, once again... I am Europa, materialized under the Rider class. I am one of the concubines of Lord Zeus. Nice to meet you, Master of Chaldea."''
A young woman who Zeus lured by turning into a white bull and motioning her onto his neck, before he swam her to the Isle of Crete, and then (depending on the source of the myth) either made love to her or raped her, leading her to mother three of his sons. Although assisted by a white bull normally, her Noble Phantasm also has her summon the guardian of Crete, Talos.\\\
She debuted in the gacha for Lostbelt No. 5: Atlantis, and appears in Olympus.
----
* AdaptationalConsent: Unlike many myths, here she was not raped by Zeus.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In Olympus, she was brainwashed by Zeus to attack the protagonist against her will.
* BrutishBulls: One of her Noble Phantasms is Chionis Tauros: Beloved White Bull, which is the main reason why she is a Rider. Originally a hunting dog, she wanted it to appear more like how Zeus looked like when the two first met. Tauros is constantly active, protecting Europa as she rides on the bull's back.
* ChoosingNeutrality: While originally summoned as a Servant of Proper Human History, upon arriving at Olympus she comes face to face with Zeus, who begs her to [[FusionDance fuse]] with the dying Hera just so he can still have his wife live and love her, while also being able to love Europa. In exchange, Europa would be permitted to retain her consciousness and individuality, and just have to sit on the sidelines. She agrees to it and spends most of her time in the garden rather than picking either side, though Talos is unfortunately taken to be used for the forces of Olympus.
* ClosetKey: Zeus helped Europa realise that she has a specific bestiality fetish involving bulls.
* CompositeCharacter: Talos originally wasn't as gigantic as it currently is. Its size is the result of later legends confusing it with the Colossus of Rhodes.
* CuddleBug: She enjoys giving hugs to everyone she considers a son, daughter, granddaughter, or grandson (which is to say everyone from Europe). She's especially doting on children and immediately rushes to give them all a big hug before running to get them candies and treats.
* DamselInDistress: She was kidnapped by Limbo when he found out she was helping the protagonist against Zeus and brought her to him for some questioning.
* DotingGrandparent: Similar to Romulus priding himself as the progenitor of all Romans, she considers herself the grandmother of all Europeans, and she's loving to non-Europeans as well, seeing them as friends to her grandchildren. She treats Asclepius with kindness and considers him one of her grandchildren despite them not being blood related, while being especially doting on Asterios, since he's something akin to a grandson to her through King Minos.
* DumbBlonde: She's a bit air-headed, forgetting what class she's been summoned into and initially comes to the conclusion that she's a "Riden-class" Servant until Talos corrects her.
* FingerFirearms: Talos can fire giant bullets from the tip of his fingers, though he only does it when he is fought on his own.
* TheFool: Europa reacts to most situations by either smiling gently, behaving with levity or drowsing off, even if a beast or a giant would appear before her or being kidnapped by a god. However, it is this that what made Hera not be sure if Europa even perceives reality normally, allowing her to avoid her wrath and get multiple gifts from Zeus.
* FriendToAllChildren: If you have any short, young or Lily servants, she's overwhelmed by how cute they are and wants to hug them and even cook them a meal.
* FusionDance: In Olympus, Zeus fused the remains of Hera (who was heavily damaged from their civil war and deemed dead) into her so he could keep loving Hera while she's "alive" and keep Europa around him at the same time, in exchange Europa could keep her consciousness and her identity.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: During her DualBoss battle when she and Talos are fought separately, if Talos goes down first, Europa will suffer permanent NP seal and her Buster attack animations will be disabled as she no longer have Talos to execute them.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Europa has blonde hair and is extremely kind in her My Room lines.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Her My Room lines show she's very aware that she's not a very powerful Heroic Spirit on her own and her power comes from Talos and Tauros.
* HumongousMecha: Her main offensive power comes in controlling Talos, the guardian of Crete, who is effectively a giant metal automaton that crushes foes with the sheer weight of his arms or legs or firing giant laser beams.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Like Caesar, her profile states her name is pronounced as "E-oo-ro-pe" in Greek and "Yo-ro-pa" in English.
* KidWithTheRemoteControl: Unlike most other Riders, who are warriors specializing in mounted combat, all of Europa's fighting power comes from Tauros, the mechanical bull she rides, and Talos. As a result, all of her attack animations have her siccing them on her foes rather than attacking directly.
* LikeASonToMe: Her final bond line reveals that she considers the protagonist and Mash as her grandchildren and is protective of them as a result. Her My Room lines reveal she essentially considers every European Servant the protagonist has as her grandchildren and Zeus' children as her children due to her relationship with him. She specially states she sees Orion (Superhuman) as her son-in-law/son due to his relationship with Artemis.
* MaamShock: Averted; unlike Circe, she's perfectly fine being called grandmother by Asterios and even asks he call her that when he retorts they're not blood-related.
* MagicMusic: She plays a lyre to call down [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] and control Talos.
* NiceGirl: Her My Room lines are filled with her being kind and loving to every Servant, and she doesn't want to talk about her dislikes out of fear of it actually happening.
* NonActionGuy: She admits that she has little to no combat power on her own and relies on Tauros and Talos, lamenting that if it weren't for them, the only thing she could do for the protagonist is being a HumanShield.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes down to her ankles.
* SemiDivine: In Olympus, she's a demigod due to being fused with Hera's remains.
* ShockAndAwe: One of her animations has her strumming her harp to signal Talos to bring down a bolt of lightning on her foes.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is spelled as "Europe" in Japan, but the pronunciation isn't the English reading of the name, but in Ancient Greek.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her dress offers a very friendly look at her cleavage, and in later Ascensions her panties are exposed from the front! Her Third Ascension gives her a coat, but it only covers a little of her cleavage, and her panties are still exposed!

->''"Are you the new Master? I'm Francis Drake. Well, I hope we can work well together."''
[[UsefulNotes/SirFrancisDrake An adventurer, privateer and fleet commander]]. Her feats include living to tell the tale of circumnavigation of Earth, and opening the path for England to become supreme ruler of the Age of Discovery. She is also famous for defeating the mighty Spanish Armada, causing the ''de facto'' collapse of Spain. As Spain was described as "an empire upon which the Sun will never set", this earned Drake the title of "The Woman Who Brought Down The Sun".\\\
Although a man in history, Drake is female in the ''Fate'' universe. A possible reason could be that no one in her time treated Drake as a woman, leading historians to assume she must have been a man. According to one sailor at the time, it would be have been considered a sign of disrespect.\\\
Drake first appeared in ''[[VideoGame/FateExtra Fate/EXTRA]]'' as the Rider-class Servant of Shinji Matou. She's the main ally for the Third Singularity: Sealed Ends of the Four Seas Okeanos. A twisted version of her calling herself Dahut, Pirate Princess of Ys, appears in Pseudo-Singularity II: Women of Agartha as an antagonist. She also appears in Atlantis.
----
* AbsoluteCleavage: Despite being considered male by her crew, her normal outfit leaves little to the imagination and is open right down to the top of her stomach.
* AccidentalHero: Actually saved humanity before when she defeated Poseidon who was going to drown humanity. She didn't do it out of any good intention, but because he was annoying her.
* AffablyEvil: She's a pirate mostly motivated by getting more and more treasure, but she's pretty friendly about the whole thing.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Barring his Noble Phantasm's teamwork quirk (and middling chance to reduce an enemy's NP charge) and his unique Gentleman's Love Skill, Blackbeard is painfully inferior to Drake, who not only has a stronger version of Voyager of the Storm in her repertoire, but also didn't have to sacrifice her Class' Riding ability to use it.
* ArchEnemy: She seems to have become this for all versions of Poseidon. In Okeanos, she defeated him off-screen and took his Holy Grail. In Atlantis, she fought him again and took one of his cores, which [[spoiler:made him go mad and view anyone as "Francis Drake", and relentlessly attack them.]]
* ArtEvolution: As part of promotion for Agartha, her sprite and animations were given an overhaul.
* AscendedExtra: In ''EXTRA'' she was all but a tutorial boss. In ''Grand Order'', she gets the starring role of the Okeanos chapter, and turns out to be a lot stronger without Shinji holding her back.
* BerserkButton: Don't call her "old" unless you want to be shot out of a cannon.
* BestHerToBedHer: After the Protagonist beats her, she mentions they can do anything they want with her since she lost. This includes having sex with her.
* {{BFG}}: Her usual flintlocks, while strangely free of ammo problems, are relatively normal sized. Her ship's culverin cannons, however, are huge even by cannon standards, and she can summon them out of thin air to blast her opponents, Gate of Babylon-style.
* BraidsOfAction: In her third ascension, meaning she's gained access to more of her power, her previously loose hair is tied into a braid.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: During Agartha, [[spoiler:the Francis Drake that's canonically in Chaldea whether you've rolled her or not is dragged into the Singularity. When you run into her again, the party initially concludes that the heroic spirit Dahut has hijacked her Saint Graph. However, it turns out that it really ''was'' Drake, but she honestly believed she was Dahut thanks to the influence of Scheherazade's Noble Phantasm.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When Mash questions her about her Holy Grail in Okeanos, Drake tells her that she just happened to pick it up. One of her crewmen incredulously interrupts and reveals that they got it after Drake and her crew sailed through a maelstrom and giant whirlpools for seven days, found the lost city of Atlantis, and defeated Poseidon himself. After he finishes recounting the tale, Drake asks, "Was it really that epic?"
* CardCarryingVillain: Well, she doesn't actually do anything villainous, but she calls her Master and herself villains.
* CelibateHeroine: Her bond five line has her musing that while a relationship is not a completely unappealing idea, she'd never pursue one because it might get in the way of her pirating fun. That being said, nothing about that rules out the possibility that she can have casual sex. She ''is'' a pirate.
* ChallengeSeeker: Befitting her daredevil nature as a pirate, Drake loves adventures, and battles even more than money, the more difficult and dangerous it is, the more fun it is for her. In fact, her profile in [[AllThereInTheManual Fate/Grand Order Materials II]] reveals that she shows her true strength in battles against those that are stronger than herself, it even says that part of the reason she lost to Hakuno in ''Fate/Extra'' was because their lack of an identity didn't make them a threat to her.
* ClosestThingWeGot: In Agartha, [[spoiler:this is why she gets dragged in. Scheherazade ''wanted'' to summon the Pirate Princess of Ys Dahut specifically, but her legend was too weak to become a proper Heroic Spirit. So she got Drake and used her Noble Phantasm to implant Dahut's values onto Drake's Spirit Origin to create an effective knockoff.]]
* CoatCape: She wears it for third and final ascension.
* CoolShip: Her other Noble Phantasm, ''Golden Hind'', summons her ship for a massive cannon barrage.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: {{Invoked}}. She offers to join the protagonist only if they can best her in combat. When they do, she not only accepts her loss, she's even willing to give up her Grail (which she got from defeating Poseidon) without a fuss.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: She's the primary support character for the Okeanos chapter, which is built around solving the conflict created by the two Holy Grails (Drake's and the antagonist's) existing in the same timeline and creating imbalances in the oceans. Drake gets pulled along because she's the owner of the Holy Grail that's meant to exist in this era and if she dies the whole world goes up in flames.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: She beat up the fading Divine Spirit Poseidon and stole his "sippy cup" (a Holy Grail) [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome before Chaldea arrived in the Singularity]]. And Roman confirms it was an actual event in the timeline that actually did happen.
* EvilIsHammy: Thinks that villains should act as flamboyantly as possible. Since she considers herself one...
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:During Atlantis, she decides to drink some wine as the Artemis laser approaches Heracles Island and wish Chaldea well in their travels before being vaporized.]]
* GagBoobs: She's practically the Rider Class's answer to Raikou in this regard.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has one across her face.
* GunFu: Uses her two pistols and physical skills together in battle.
* GunsAkimbo: A pair of flintlock pistols that she [[BottomlessMagazines never has to reload]].
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: To celebrate Mash and the protagonist joining up with her crew in the Okeanos chapter, she immediately starts chugging loads of alcohol. She even gives you a chocolate beer mug filled with rum jelly for Valentine's Day.
* TheHedonist: Believes in always enjoying life to the fullest and what you have, which is why she uses the Grail for an infinite supply of food and drink and as an actual cup.
* HistoricalGenderFlip: Apparently, she was so manly that her men spoke of her as if she were male, thus confusing the historical records. In ''Fate/EXTRA'' it was hinted the original Francis Drake and Queen Elizabeth may have switched places at some point, but this may simply be a case of CharacterizationMarchesOn since this detail has never been elaborated on any further.
* IdiotHair: It's covered by her hat.
* KingIncognito: Possibly, ''Fate/EXTRA'' raised the possibility that she could actually be Queen Elizabeth in disguise, though this idea has never been addressed again.
* TheLadette: She's a stereotypical pirate, which means she drinks and swears heavily. In fact, she's so manly, her (male) crew are intimidated by her manliness to the point of they can't treat her like a woman, or else they don't feel manly themselves.
* LuckStat: Notable in that hers is [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale EX-Rank]], which is likely connected to her Pioneer of the Stars ability given that the luck stat seems to refer more to destiny that simply being fortunate.
* MundaneLuxury: During Mash's setting a summoning circle in an island, Da Vinci discussed the information about Drake and the Age of Exploration, and mentions that during her time, spice had more worth than gold. She asked the protagonist to hand a bottle of pepper to Drake which knocked her unconscious out of happiness.
* MundaneWish: She used the Holy Grail only for plenty of food and booze.
* NeverFoundTheBody: Briefly in Agartha as Dahut. [[spoiler:She's the first "queen" of a faction to be defeated by the party, but they're interrupted by the Nightless Assassin before properly finishing Dahut off, assuming her dead as she and the rest of her city are washed away by a flood. Astolfo [[DiscussedTrope lampshades this trope]] saying "Oooh, yeah. No body, no death!" when [[NotQuiteDead they meet her again much later in the story]], underwater, in the Dragon Palace.]]
* NiceHat: Probably the most striking part of her redesign in this game is the wicked-looking pirate hat. It even grows jewels on her final stage.
* OddFriendship: To an outside observer, she appears to be close friends with Lancer Altria (Alter) as both are leaders of the Wild Hunt. How much they actually consider each other friends for real is unclear, however, as that version of Altria is noted to be rather aloof.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: She managed to defeat ''Poseidon'' and swipe his Holy Grail. However, the most you get to experience of this is a recollection told by one of her crew.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: She actually gets stronger as she gets more loot and she's been noted to have terrible compatibility with Gilgamesh because while both hoard treasures, Drake spends all her money as fast as she gets it. One of her win quotes is even declaring her intention to split the loot in the fight.
* PirateGirl: Francis Drake has been genderflipped with the explanation being that she was so manly that the crew refused to acknowledge that she was a woman basically because it made them insecure of their own masculinity. Still, her outfit does not exactly downplay her looks. However, despite her masculine attitude, she's actually surprisingly short.
* RedBaron: El Draque.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Possibly, as it's hinted that she may be Queen Elizabeth in disguise.
* SleevesAreForWimps: After second ascension.
* SmarterThanYouLook: She's noted to be more well educated and knowledgeable than you'd expect a pirate to be. She knows the history of Chaldea, a fair amount of mythology as well as more about Vikings and such than the likes of Mash. Granted, Drake was a ''privateer'', an official government officer. Her travels also would have allowed her to pick up a lot of information and knowledge from the ports she visited and the ships she's raided.
* SuperEmpowering: In Okeanos, the Drake that becomes Chaldea's primary ally is the real Francis Drake the human, not a Heroic Spirit. Part of why she's so strong is because the Grail in her possession can merge with her body to give her the power to fight equally with enemy Servants.
* ThanatosGambit: [[spoiler:In Atlantis, she deliberately engineers Odysseus detecting Chaldea despite the fact that her curse means she can't leave the island when it gets blown up because Jason ''needs'' to get into CorneredRattlesnake mode with Odysseus' impending arrival to snap out of his funk.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For all her toughness and brash demeanor, there's one thing capable of freaking her completely out: ghosts. Seeing a few up close in Okeanos is enough to make her "[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl shriek like a maiden]]" to the surprise of the heroes. This also doubles as an IronicFear, as Drake becomes a leader of the Wild Hunt after her death and thus the captain of ''legions'' of ghosts.
* TheWildHunt: There is a legend that Francis Drake went on to become its leader after his passing. This became one of the main components of her Noble Phantasm, Golden Wild Hunt: Night of the Golden Hind and the Storm[[note]]strangely adapted by Aksys as Hunt of the Golden Hind: Golden Stag and Eventide Tempest, [[DubInducedPlotHole dropping the Wild Hunt references]][[/note]], as the ones she led in both life and death merge into a roaring thunderstorm full of battleships.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is neon pink.
