Rider (Fate/Crossover - Judith)

Rider (ライダー, *Raidā*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

Judith was born and raised in Temza, a Krityan village located on Mt. Temza, where her father Hermes was a genius blastia researcher working for the Empire. As a girl, she befriended Ba'ul, a young Entelexeia that lived at Mt. Temza's peak. Together with Judith's father, the trio traveled often. However, when Judith was nine, she was caught in the crossfire of the Great War as it erupted near Temza, destroying the village and resulting in the deaths of her parents. She was rescued and taken to the Krityan city of Myorzo, but traumatized by the events she had witnessed, she withdrew from others and suffered from insomnia.

Exasperating this was the fact that she was not able to adapt to the radically different culture of her new home, and she quickly became restless. Judith was accustomed to fighting, which was unusual for the docile Kritya. She eventually made an oath on her "Brionic" spear that she and Ba'ul would traverse the world together, destroying Hermes blastia, which her father invented, realizing the dangers it caused. She relied on Ba'ul's natural ability as an Entelexeia to sense disturbances in aer and find the destructive Hermes blastia. It was at this point that she left Myorzo and began her journey prior to the events of the story. Due to the armor she donned and creature she rode, Judith became recognized as the "Dragon Rider" to those who witnessed her.

### Personality

Judith is one of the more mysterious, mature, and rational members of the group. She is gentle-looking, perceptive, composed, receptive, and often acts without explaining her actions, frequently failing to gain an impression of the current situation. She is also decisive, persistent, witty, somewhat impulsive, and quite bold, preferring to wear revealing outfits. Judith is also very flirtatious and enjoys teasing the male members of the group, often making suggestive comments about "showing a little more" of her already impressive figure. Estelle has humorously shown to be jealous of Judith's physique and power over men she possesses. Judith has stated she is "not a very good liar", and this fact is evident in several conversations. She also enjoys fighting a great deal and becomes excited at the prospect of a battle, almost to an extent that it unnerves other members of the group, and she is disappointed when unable to fight. Judith is also shown to be somewhat fastidious as she states she must shower at least once a day.

## Abilities

Judith is a very skilled fighter, holding herself real well with her spear and impressive acrobatics.
She also rides Ba'ul, an Entelexeia that she traveled together with.

Judith fights with long weapons, primarily spears and staves, granting her a safe distance from enemies despite conducting artes in a close-ranged style. In addition to this, Judith focuses on aerial-based techniques, often attacking with her legs as well, and she is capable of performing multiple-hit combos on her target while airborne. Being the fastest of all playable characters in the game, Judith is able to swiftly approach and strike enemies numerous times before the enemy is able to properly respond. All of Judith's artes are physical-based and possess a lunar theme, frequently containing references to the moon. Despite lacking any magical-based artes, she can use the flexible Moonbeam from anywhere on the field, appearing above her target to attack and vanishing before the target has an opportunity to retaliate.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Ba'ul**

Ba'ul is the flying, whale-like Entelexeia partner of Judith and the youngest known Entelexeia.

Ba'ul and Judith have been companions since she was very young. The Krityans who lived on Mt. Temza feared Ba'ul, believing him to be a dangerous monster, but Judith did not view him this way, befriending him instead. Ba'ul saved Judith during the Great War, which occurred ten years prior to the events of the story. Ba'ul is Judith's transportation, and when she speaks of her partner, she is referring to Ba'ul. He travels with her, sensing the disturbance of aer and bring her to blastia, which she destroys. Later, when Ba'ul is trying to evolve at Mt. Temza, Judith guards him, knowing he is vulnerable due to his injuries. Tison and Nan attempt to kill him, but the group protects him, and he evolves into a large enough form to carry the Fiertia.

#### **Dragon's Moon Spear**

Judith kicks her opponent in the air, performing several other aerial attacks before sealing them in a sphere. As she lands back on ground, she throws her spear at the target, which the spear pierces through them.
