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

Identity
Rider's True Name is Marī Antowanetto, the Queen of France of the 18th Century whose genealogy is related to the. The consort of. An ephemeral lady. Born between, a person originating from the and who was also the Duke of Lorraine, and , who is the descendant of the great aristocratic German household, the House of Habsburg, Marie was born and raised as an existence that symbolizes the "rule of the nobility" of the European world, and during a chaotic period of human history where the right of monarchy was no longer absolute, she lost her life in a.

History
Loved as a symbol of royal authority, being blessed while living—Destested as a symbol of royal authority, shown contempt as she ended up dead. Protruding eyes of the nobility, political marriage, living the royal court life, and then, revolution and execution. It is possible to say that Marie's way of life and manner of death is the embodiment of royal authority as an evident "idol".

Although a target of hatred by many people before, during and after the, Marie's reputation has been restored in modern France; during famines, she reduced court expenses to make donations, demanded personally for the nobility to provide support to the people and such—it has thus being confirmed that she was a woman that thought of the people.

There was a tragedy. Still————

Marie will never wish to the Holy Grail, for the erasure of her tragedy. She will only fulfill her own role. In other words, radiance to the sky. Blessings to the earth.

————Happiness to the people.

Personality
An image (idol) from birth. Soothing the masses with a smile, earning adoration with a gaze. Marie was born to be loved, and this is not a theory, but her actually feeling this as an instinct. Finding joy on and accepting the fact that she is an image, she is set on conducting herself just as it is expected of her. Such mentality is already close to some sort of goddess.

Marie never hates the people. As she was born to be loved, she therefore loves the people. If the people deem her to be unnecessary, and even if they shout at her, capture her, and kill her, she will smile at them even at the moment of her death. However, her mentality as a Servant have fundamentally stopped at "the moment she married Louis XVI, visited France as its queen, and was loved and blessed by the many citizens", and she does not easily display her aspect as the queen of a tragedy. (It cannot be concluded that she has no memories after the aforementioned moment, but the stage of her character and mentality is simply at "that time".)

Honest. Spontaneous. Marie speaks whatever she thought of. She will say the things she likes are what she likes, and the things she dislikes are what she dislikes.

Marie loves baths. Similar to and influenced by her mother,, she awfully loves being clean. That's because, the perfumes she uses aren't that strong (For her, the light ones that are similar to herbs and flowers are good).

Marie is a spendthrift. She wastes money on one thing or another as she pleases, and she does not understand even herself about this habit.

As the bond with the protagonist (Master) deepens, it appears that she will display the aspect of her tragic side. It is very evident that she is "the very idol that continues to scatter love, yet whose body and mind are scarred." And yet, she still smiles beautifully. Never, will Marie desire for the erasure of the tragedy.

Relationships

Around the time when she was seven years-old, on the occassion of a six-year-old genius, who was invited as a performing musician to the palace of Vienna, fell down, she kindly extended my hand to him. As a matter of fact, this genius boy was later known as Amadeus Mozart, and he proposed marriage to the beautiful Marie (who at that time had the name Maria). The answer at that time was... Even now when she became a Heroic Spirit, she recognizes this matter as "love" and that event as enjoyable and sincere. That is, nothing about this "love" have changed whatsoever from when she felt it around that very youthful time.

Abilities

Swimsuit
Having manifested on a swimsuit, she is not concerned at all about the high-degree of exposure. Lovely, enjoyably and gorgeously, Marie Antoinette continues to glitter. Rather, due being too unaware about her own appearance, she may come out as rather bold in the eyes of others. Regardless of being on a palace or on a beach, a queen consort is a queen consort. Still, maybe due being in somewhat high spirits, comparing from when she manifests as a Rider, the number of smiles has increased a very little bit than.

While it seems like she employs a beach ball during combat, it's possible that Marie herself is simply playing around with a ball at the beach, without being aware of the battle.

A charismatic nature in regards not to leadership, but the capacity to charm the people around her. By means of a composite effect with the Beach Flower Skill, Marie is revered and protected as a princess of the beach just by existing. ...please, take a good look. Those who protected Marie from the enemy just now were not just a musician, an executioner and a knight of white lilies under disguise that coincidentally passed by...

Creation and Conception
Ginka is the character designer for Marie Antoinette. Her scenario was written by Hikaru Sakurai in Fate/Grand Order.

Her concept is an "Idol Queen". An idol who flew down to 18th Century France. Or, a glass angel. (As an embodiment and symbol of a pure and fleeting thing, and not as a religious motif.)
