Francis Drake emerges as a female pirate captain, her long crimson-pink hair and piercing blue eyes marked by a distinctive facial scar. Summoned as a Rider despite historical male records, this discrepancy stems from contemporaries who dismissed her true identity, deeming acknowledgment of her womanhood incompatible with her fearsome legacy. A master navigator who circled the globe and shattered Spain’s Invincible Armada, her triumphs catalyzed England’s naval supremacy and the British Empire’s dawn. Her flagship, the Golden Hind, transcends mere vessel status, embodying hope and miraculous resurgence—a symbol likened to Arthurian myth, echoing Britain’s eternal promise. Charismatic and unapologetically self-indulgent, Drake pursues hedonistic pleasures with a storm’s fervor, scattering riches as fleeting tokens of joy. She flaunts her villainy yet meets defeat with wry acceptance, embracing life’s impermanence. Her disdain targets those obsessed with permanence: Gilgamesh’s hoarded eternity and Tamamo-no-Mae’s endless existence draw her mockery, while pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read earn her respect for their audacious defiance. Across narratives, she shifts roles with cunning pragmatism. In Fate/EXTRA, she allies with Shinji Matou, masking mentorship under mercenary pretense, yet subtly shielding him as a sibling. During Last Encore’s lunar conflict, she initially backs Shinji’s pacifist rule over the Moon Cell’s first layer before challenging Hakuno Kishinami in a climactic sea duel, her tactical brilliance shining even in concession. Her Noble Phantasm, Golden Wild Hunt, summons ghostly armadas to bombard foes, mirroring her historic maritime dominance. Skills such as Voyager of the Storm amplify allies’ battle fervor, while Pioneer of the Stars fuels her self-reliant combat style, generating critical opportunities and accelerating her devastating assaults. Her attire oscillates between practicality and theatrics—Stormy Seas Outfit balances rugged seafaring utility with flamboyant flair, while El Draque’s Pirate Clothes evoke roguish elegance. Complex dynamics define her ties to figures like Christopher Columbus; she grudgingly admires his mercantile cunning yet schemes to plunder his fortunes, embodying rivalry laced with opportunistic respect.
