An Amazoness queen in Greek Mythology. The daughter of Ares, starting from the eldest, Hippolyta, whose sash and life were robbed by Heracles, and her younger sister who was kidnapped and wed to Theseus, it is said that she has several more sisters.
After Hector's death, the Amazoness army led by Penthesilea went to assist the Trojans and fought against the Achaean army. And then, Queen Penthesilea ended up in a one-on-one fight against a hero on the enemy side, Achilles. The conclusion is the biggest humiliation at the end of her life.
The Amazon Queen who fought against Achilles during the Trojan War and was killed by his Diatrekhōn Astēr Lonkhē. Since then, because of an awful amount of regret when Achilles killed her with his spear, this had made him hesitant to fight against female opponents.
===Appearance===
Penthesilea is summoned in her body about 5–10 years away from her future adulthood figure during the Trojan War, of where she was a "complete incarnation of beauty."
===Personality===
The queen of the strong who combines both strength and nobility. While a Berserker, Penthesilea is completely capable in understanding, as well as employing, military strategies and leadership skills. However—■■■■■■■■. Once "that" is mentioned, everything else becomes trivial, and her every thought is painted over by "that". The only thing she doesn't recognize as "that" is herself (and sometimes, even she herself is one). For that very reason, she is a mad warrior.
Rage beyond rage evaporates her reason, and she can only sneer. At most, she can only spew curses and harassment. And so she pledged. In no matter what form, she will fight again with the man who carved this humiliation into her―to kill him. The woman who will definitely kill Achilles.
Being called "beautiful", Achilles himself was not conscious of saying such a thing. She fought as a warrior. Not to present herself as a "woman". If it had ended with a fight to the death with a true warrior, the hero would surely feel relief upon looking at their enemy. "I won." "I'm glad I didn't die." "There's no need to get up anymore." However―――he still―――
She unconsciously refuses to manifest as the figure of "complete incarnation of beauty" from her later years. As that form was what produced her greatest humiliation, it is seen as "that age holding such beauty is not me at my prime."
When she is not being engulfed by the anger and desire for revenge towards Achilles, she is a stoic and calm female warrior. She is severely brutal against her enemies. Even if one is an ally, she would rage upon them if they were to treat her as a women. Especially taboo are the words “beautiful” and “lovely” due to the trauma she has. A battle frenzy whose identity is her strength as a warrior. Due to being a queen, she is fundamentally arrogant.
Her wish upon the Holy Grail is, obviously, for a rematch against Achilles. She wishes to dispel her old disgrace, and this time once again carry out an one-on-one battle as a true warrior. She treats the Master as someone who shows her the way towards the battlefield and someone who prepares trials for her. Something like, “Now, promptly lead me towards the next battlefield.”

==Role==
===Fate/Grand Order===
====Subspecies Singularity II: Agartha====
Penthesilea was summoned by Scheherazade to serve as El Dorado's inauthentic ruler to increase the Agartha Singularity's fictional nature.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 16: Women of AgarthaFate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 15: The Story Comes to Fruition She and her Amazons war with Ys and the Nightless City being the most aggressive and numerous of all three major power.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 4: Resistance
She first encounters Ritsuka’s party in a town ruled by the Amazons when she went to investigate the sounds of fighting. She asks Ritsuka who sent them and where they came from, listing every faction in Agartha. She takes Ritsuka’s confusion to her question as a refusal to answer her. She then attacks the groups having decided their identities are inconsequential. She commends them for their bravery and prowess for lasting against her, expect for Fergus who refused to even to defend himself. She therefore decides that they will be taken as slaves for reproduction. However she leaves in a rage upon learning that "he" has appeared in a nearby town.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 3: At the Amazon Village
Later the Amazons launch an assault on the Nightless City. Penthesilea appears before Ritsuka's party when they prepare to escape the front gate. However to their confusion, she rushes past them in a rage towards the castle where Megalos is. She and Megalos fight evenly matched until he leaves. The Amazons take what is left of the city following his rampage.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 8: The Brilliant Fortress CityFate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 9: Temporary Retreat
Penthesilea and her Amazons surround Ritsuka’s party when they attempt to infiltrate El Dorado through the jungle. She knew Scheherazade had joined the Resistance, and used her military knowledge to predict and counter Scheherazade’s stratagem. She declares with Ys and the Nightless City gone, Agartha now belongs to the Amazons. A nation of warriors led by a single queen, where there is no economic or class distinction apart from warrior and royalty. She and her Amazons then fight the group and the Resistance to determine who’s worthy of becoming slaves. Impressed by them, she has her Amazons perform their synchronized war cry to empower themselves. They then begin to kill the men more easily, forcing the group to retreat. Afterwards, Penthesilea learns the casualities on both sides were approximately half. She orders the men who surrendered to be executed. She also permits the taking of any man who still has the will to fight despite being bested in combat. The only exception to that is Megalos.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 10: Invading El Dorado
She boards the group’s ship as it sails through the river towards El Dorado, having sensed Megalos is also there. She attacks him in a rage, calling him Achilles. However, she decides to kill the group, believing they’re keeping her from killing Megalos. To make matters worse, Megalos breaks free of Santa Maria - Drop Anchor‘s chains, forcing the group to fight both Berserkers. The force of the fight eventually destroys the ship sending everyone except Penthesilea into the river.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 11: Flames of Progress
Penthesilea is soon confronted by the group, along with Megalos who's under their command now, in her throne room. Unlike the previous times, she doesn’t go into an immediate rage upon sensing Megalos; Christopher Columbus assumes it has something with Megalos’ own bloodlust being suppressed. In her madness, though, she sees everyone as Achilles. She and her Amazons then perform their synchronized war cry. However, none of her warriors to come her side because of Astolfo and Chevalier d’Eon’s efforts. Regardless, Penthesilea fights the group and Megalos herself; Her rage recalling her humiliation boosting her stats. After being defeated, Penthesilea realizes Megalos is Heracles, though that changes nothing. Like Achilles, she determines all Greek heroes to the sworn enemy of the Amazons. She recounts all the wrongs her sisters suffered at Heracles and Theseus, vowing to kill them one day. She disappears, cursing all Greek heroes, and saying the Amazons and the goddess of fate will avenge her.Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha: The Mythical Subterranean Society, Section 13: Decisive Battle in El Dorado
==== Summer Event: Dead Heat Summer Race! ====
Pethesilea emerges from the river just before Nero Claudius can call it beautiful, furious in thinking it was directed towards her. Calming herself down, she explains to the racers that the more beautiful they are, the faster they'll go. She has no issue with this because the more beautiful they are, the less she'll be by comparison. For that reason, she will not interfere with the racers' beauty contest. She then introduces the judges: Mister B, who judges their personal beauty, and Leonardo da Vinci, who judges their vehicles’ beauty. While the racers are competing, Penthesilea swims to the end of the course. At first, she thought it was a testament to her abilities as a warrior. But when Frankenstein and  Helena Blavatsky arrive from behind, she comes to believe it was due to the river's unique properties. Enraged at the thought of being called beautiful, Penthesilea tries to force Frankenstein and Helena's teams back to the start to try as she cannot allow herself to be first. But both teams defeat her and continue the race.
==== Christmas Event: Holy Samba Night ====
Penthesilea and Hector are partners in the Santa Tag Team Tournament representing Troy. She desires to become the “true” Santa, so she may grant her wish of killing Achilles, something which Hector wouldn’t mind being granted. They are Bradamante and Quetzalcoatl’s second match. Bradamante defeats Penthesilea using Martha’s “Pacifying Raging Beasts” fighting style. Penthesilea compares the technique to the amazon war cry in that they both enhance the user’s attacks before falling unconscious.Fate/Grand Order - Christmas 2020: Samba Night, Holy Night, Day 2: Santa's Killer Instinct

====Interlude====
Fate/Grand Order - Penthesilea's Interlude, The Phantom of Troia
===Fate/Apocrypha===
Achilles remembers his fight with Penthesilea while he is fighting the maddened Atalanta. When he mortally wounded her and then called her beautiful, she became so angry that with her dying breath, she cursed him to eventually use the same spear that killed her to kill someone he loved. The curse is fulfilled when he is forced to kill Atalanta.
This flashback was cut from the anime, but she appears briefly in the anime when Astolfo activates Akhilleus Kosmos.Fate/Apocrypha - Episode 22: "Reunion and Farewell"
==Abilities==
Penthesilea is one of the strongest heroes in Greek Mythology, and one of three people Achilles never wants to fight again, whether it is before or after his death. The remaining two being Hector and Chiron.
 Supposing the grown-up version of herself from the Trojan War (generally 5–10 years later in terms of human body age) is summoned, it is believed that she can manifest in the Lancer, Archer, and even Rider classes, however, due to her raging hatred for Achilles, the Berserker class has become the very foundation of her existence as a Heroic Spirit.
===Combat===

Her primary weapons are the spiked Balls and Chain, but she also attacks using the claws and spikes on her armor. In her third ascension, she gains a pair of Kopis Swords. 
As a Berserker, Penthesilea has taken the appearance of her younger self to prevent Achilles from making any comment about her beauty should she lose against him ever again. Penthesilea is able to fight Astolfo and Chevalier d'Eon simultaneously and compliments them as strong warriors. Penthesilea is equally matched with Amazoness CEO in combat. For comparison, Amazoness CEO was powerful enough to defeat Super Orion while suppressing her rage with her company anthem.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Save Amazones.com! - CEO Crisis 2022, Heroes Will Not Get Special Treatment! Bradamante states that Penthesilea is strong and decides to face her with a fighting style she learned from Martha called "Pacifying Raging Beasts". By focusing her Strength to enhance her attacks, she defeats Penthesilea with a single blow.
===Skills===
====Class Skills====

Penthesilea's Madness.jpg|Penthesilea's Madness that was develop from her hatred of Achilles
*Mad Enhancement (EX Rank): It is possible to reach a mutual understanding with her under normal circumstances. However, her reason blows away when she faces Achilles. As expected, it is also blown away to some extent in regards to the hated Greek Heroic Spirits. Due to her trauma, there is a possibility for it to be blown away if you call her beautiful. While enrraged, Penthesilea is able to equally match Megalos multiple times, a modified version of Berserker Heracles whose size and Strength far outclass the bounds of any normal Servant. Hector states that if Penthesilea went berserk and attacked Ritsuka Fujimaru he would be forced to use Durindana at full strength to keep him safe. If it came to that, either Penthesilea or Hector might end up dying.
*Divinity (B Rank): As a demigoddess daughter of the God of War Ares Penthesilea boasts high Divine Spirit aptitude.
====Personal Skills====
*Charisma (B Rank): Having B Rank in this Skill is sufficient to lead a nation as its Queen. The morale of military forces she commands is extremely high.
*Golden Rule (Beauty) (A Rank): Indicates the fate of growing up into an existence that possesses a goddess-like flawless beauty, no matter in which manner she is raised. Supposedly, at the time of the Trojan War, she was endowed with a beauty that would make people mistake her for a true goddess. That is why, when Achilles removed that helmet...

*Roar of the War God (A+ Rank): A roar that awakens the blood of the War God Ares that flows in her body. As if being lead by a war god, allies that stand by her side as warriors are bestowed with bravery by that shout. It has been said that, during the Trojan War, enemies trembled violently at the war cry of the Amazónes troops. When she stands before heroes of Greek Mythology (or possibly those whose origins lays there, making her feel a similar scent), causing her hatred to gush out--- this roar will probably not stop until that life has been wiped out.
===Noble Phantasms===
Her main Noble Phantasm is Outrage Amazon. The desire of vengeance against Achilles that sleeps within her, her soul as a warrior that seeks strength, the blood of the war god Ares, all of those are momentarily excited. She deliberately transform herself into a beast who had thrown away all reason, a true mad warrior.
Her second Noble Phantasm is Trojan Reinforce. Summons her 12 subordinates, the Amazons troops that she had once led in order to save Troy: Clonie, Polemusa, Derinoe, Evandre, Antandre, Bremusa, Hippothoe, Harmothoe, Alcibie, Antibrote, Derimacheia, and Thermodosa.
Penthesilea also possesses the sash, Goddess of War, wearing it around her waist rather than on either arm. It is said that the power of the War God Ares, the bloodline ancestor of the Amazon tribe, resides in this sash. However, it is uncertain whether the sash she holds is the same one possessed by her older sister, Hippolyta.Fate/Grand Order - Penthesilea's Bond Craft Essence: War God's Military Sash

Penthesilea was designed by Shinjirou in Fate/Grand Order. Her scenario writer is Hazuki Minase in Fate/Grand Order.
===Comment from Illustrator===
"When I met Takeuchi-san, he said to me to please draw a female Servant around 14 years old of age. And I was like with immense gratitude do I accept this request as you demand it. The muscular specification was really unexpected, but perhaps this too, is a part of karma. My Amazons (misprinted) CEO is the greatest." (Shinjirou)
