Rider (Fate/Grand Order - Quetzalcoatl)

Rider (ライダー) is the Rider-class Servant able to be summoned by the Protagonist in the Grand Orders of Fate/Grand Order.

Identity
Rider's True Name is Ketsaru Koatoru (ケツァル・コアトル). Quetzalcoatl is one of the highest deities in from Central America. The god of life, harvest, culture, rain, and wind. Legend also tells that she ruled the sun, for a time.

The name “Quetzalcoatl” means “feathered serpent” or “winged serpent.” She is worshiped as a god who rejects sacrificial rites, and conflated with both — the god of Venus, the morning star — and the Mayan god.

Quetzalcoatl was a righteous god under whom humans prospered. She was destroyed by the god, and disappeared from the Aztecs, leaving behind only a prophecy of her return.

Personality
She is a kind, carefree, and wise goddess. She despised human sacrifice, and loved humans.

The reason for Quetzalcoatl’s fascination with (professional wrestling) is simple. Apparently, she witnessed lucha libre when she was summoned in some time and place, and the sight shocked her so deeply that it even lit Quetzalcoatl’s main body aflame in the seat of gods.

"Yes, the flesh! In a fight to the death, one should avoid using weapons as much as possible! Lucha is the best tactic in dialogue, too!"

Fate/Grand Order
A portion of Quetzalcoatl has been given form and incarnated as a Servant. This is an incarnation of a copy of one of the highest beings. The gods of Central American mythologies differ greatly from the deities of other mythologies in the sense that they acted through human vessels. Due to these abnormal circumstances, Quetzalcoatl has taken the appearance of a completely unknown woman, descending upon the modern era as a god who loves the proud Mexican sport of. It’s not as if she’s particularly worshiped as a god of lucha libre. She just really likes lucha. Quetzalcoatl was originally a male god, but has acquired the aspect of a goddess in this current incarnation. According to her, maybe she was influenced by her long association with the planet, and  was a goddess of beauty, after all. Just as the many attributions of Quetzalcoatl depended on the region in which she was worshiped, perhaps, in some era, this woman was once Quetzalcoatl’s body.

Abilities
She loves the luchador. As the god of the wind and Venus, the sight of this wingless luchador (female wrestlers are luchadoras) soaring through the air moved her to tears, and she even glimpsed the future, or something. Fortunately, Quetzalcoatl’s tenacious and diligent nature allowed her to become a Lucha Master in the blink of an eye.

Quetzalcoatl boasts that she can headlock any Divinity or monster into submission if she felt like it, but as a lucha libre proponent of primarily aerial maneuvers, she has sealed her locking techniques which form the soul of lucha.

Magic Resistance (rank A) (対魔力, Tai-Maryoku?, localized as "Anti-Magic") grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Cancel spells of A-Rank or below, no matter what High-Thaumaturgy it is. In practice, the Servant is untouchable to modern magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant a 'Magus Killer '.[11]

Riding (rank EX) (騎乗, Kijō?, localized as "Dragoon") is a Class Skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, denoting the ability to ride mounts and vehicles. Rider-class Servants will typically possess a high rank. It is said that dragontype mounts are an exception, requiring a different ability other than Riding.[1]

Charisma (rank A+) (カリスマ, Karisuma?) is a composite Skill consisting of a person's charm as well as the natural talent to command or unify an army or country. Increases the ability of allies during group battles. A rare talent, and an ability inherent to Servants of the Saver class. At this point, it is no longer popularity or skill, but rather a kind of spell (curse) in itself. An army led by him or her will have a tremendous increase in abilities.

'Goddess's Divine Core'  (Rank EX), (女神の神核 , 'Megami no Kami Kaku'?) is a Skill that expresses one being a perfected goddess from birth. A composite Skill that comprises the Skill Divinity, preserves the absoluteness of the mind and the body, repels all mental interference, prevents the body from growth and prevents the figure from change no matter how much calories are absorbed.

'Good God's Wisdom' (善神の智慧, Zenshin no Chie?) with Rank A+.

'Lucha Libre' (自由なる闘争, Jiyūnaru Tōsō?) with Rank EX.

Her Noble Phantasm is Xiuhcoatl, Quetzalcoatl and Piedra Del Sol.

Gorgon mentions that Quetzalcoatl has the qualifications to be summoned under the Avenger class.

Aside from wielding the macuahuitl, she is an enthusiast of, which she utilizes in both normal attack and Noble Phantasm.
