Archer (アーチャー, Āchā?), True Name unknown, is an Archer-class Servant of Jack and Nursery Rhyme in the parody work Learn with Manga! FGO.
Profile[]
Identity[]
Archer's True Name is unkown. The most compelling theory regarding Archer's identity is that she is Pecos BillWP. Her coyote features could be a reference to the fact Bill was raised by coyotes, with her Lasso and Rodeo Skills and unseen tornado Noble Phantasm possibly being related to the anecdote where Bill lassoed and then rode a twister.[1]
Appearance[]
Archer has the ears and tail of a coyote. She is seen smoking a ceremonial pipe.

Learn More with Manga! FGO[]
Archer is created from udon dough and grail mud by Da Vinci, in a bid to create chaos and keep Gudako occupied. While forming, she is found by Jack the Ripper and Nursery Rhyme, who decide to raise the newborn Servant. This creates much consternation for Altera, who assumes that the animal-eared baby is the product of a tryst between her lover Helena and the babysitter Tamamo-no-Mae. However, after Tamamo denies this, she instead becomes convinced that Archer is her own daughter, conceived with Jeanne d'Arc after they had kissed.
Meanwhile, Archer makes her first real appearance with her fellows in the Child Kingdom, attempting to snare Mash for use as breeding stock before being interrupted by Lancer. Archer rescues Rider after she is betrayed and left for dead by Lancer. She (mutely) suggests an alliance, drooling due to her primal instincts and biting one of Rider's rabbit ears as they shake on it. After regrouping with the others, she meets her "parent" Altera for the first time, who accepts her child with some confused reluctance and attempts to integrate her into their family unit with mixed results. Archer then goes on to contribute to the battle against a demi-Servant Gudako, allowing Rider to borrow one of her tornadoes to enable her Noble Phantasm. In the aftermath of the battle, the Child Kingdom holds its first election, declaring Paul Bunyan as the Presidential candidate and Archer as her running mate.
Abilities[]
She is shown capable of riding, sailing a canoe and riding a purple horse with white mane.
Her Noble Phantasm has not yet been revealed, but when Rider took some of her and Mary Anning energy to create Terror of the Croconado, the Noble Phantasm included Rider's chainsaw, Mary's PlesiosaurusWP, and a tornado, implying Archer's Noble Phantasm has something to do with tornados.
Class Skills[]
- Magic Resistance (Rank B): Cancel spells with a chant below three verses. Even if targeted by greater magecraft and Greater Rituals, it is difficult for Archer to be affected. She understands magic well.[1]
- Independent Action (Rank A): It is possible for Archer to take action even without a Master. However, to use Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the Master is necessary. At Rank A, it is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for about a week without a Master. She is a lone wolf, and might not obey commands.[1]
Personal Skills[]
- Rodeo (Rank A): She can ride every kind of being. No matter how much they rage around, she won't be shaken off easily.[1]
- Lasso (Rank A): Her lasso can capture any target without fail. Even targets as large as Ivan the Terrible can be tied up by Archer, but that doesn't mean they can't overpower her.[1]
