Stories
7Character details
Adventurer, privateer, and captain of a fleet.
The woman who traveled around the world, and in doing so made England the ruler of the Age of Exploration.
She was also the one who destroyed the "Invincible Fleet" of Spain, and brought down the so-called "Empire On Which the Sun Never Sets."
This is why she is called "The Woman Who Brought Down the Sun."
Profile 1
Height/Weight: 162cm, 55kg
Origin: History
Region: England
Alignment: Chaotic-Evil
Sub-Attribute: Star
Gender: Female
A lady pirate who's more manly than any man.
Profile 2
Her personality makes her treat both good and evil equally.
A hedonist who loves glitz and glitter.
She prefers momentary pleasure, and both in war and her private life, prefers to act like a tempest that blows through anything and everything, until there's nothing left behind.
She loves gold and treasure, but not the hoarding aspect of it, she loves to spend all of it.
Profile 3
『Golden Wild Hunt』
Rank: A+
NP Type: Anti-Army
Night of the Golden Hind and the Storm.
Summons a fleet of ghost ships with the flagship, the ship Drake was in command of, the "Golden Hind."
Then the fleet will destroy all enemies with its overwhelming firepower.
Profile 4
Pioneer of the Stars: EX
A special skill given to heroes who became a "turning point" in human history.
Any and all difficult missions or difficult sails
will remain "impossible" yet become "achievable."
Profile 5
Francis Drake was the first person in history to successfully navigate the globe alive.
(Magellan, the first to try, died along the way.)
The historical Drake was male, but in this game she appears as a woman.
The reason for this is that no one around Drake would treat her as a woman. According to her crew:
"You know, if we call her a woman, then I don't know how we could be men... and it'll be rude to her, too."
Additional profile
A hedonist who prefers momentary pleasure, and at the end, her last moment was dazzling.
This Heroic Spirit was not obsessed with life (One's own life, the meaning and pride as a human,) and rather accepted the idea of death (the eventual end that awaits all humanity.)
At the age of 53, she fell victim to illness.
It's said that just before her death, she strangely tried to wear her armor in bed.

- Birthday
- So it's your birthday! Then I hope this day is without equal!
- During an Event
- I smell treasure... Shall we seek victory, Master?
- Conversation 1
- Hey! This is no time to be sleeping! We've got work to do!
- Conversation 2
- Huh? I'm to be below you? Well, that sure sounds promising!
- Conversation 3
- We divide our agreement and spoils fifty-fifty! Does a master-servant relationship get any better than that?
- Likes
- What do I like? A stiff drink! That's what! I like partying the night away with lovable rascals!
- Dislikes
- What bothers me? Ah, a sense of justice, I'd say. Dampens my mood. That and having no ear for music. Though that only applies to women.
- About the Holy Grail
- The Holy Grail? What the heck is that? Don't you think it sounds too good to be true? I rather have a grail full of pepper personally.
- Bond Level 1
- I've got rules on my ship but not at the helm. I'm always up for a dangerous journey!
- Bond Level 2
- Looks aside, I'm really just a trader. I love get-rich-quick schemes. It's really a shame. Just a little further, and I might have ripened into a fine wine.
- Bond Level 3
- Men? Ah... I just don't seem to have any luck with nice men. I mean, I'm a woman too. If I could find a partner I wouldn't mind spending time on dry... No, I guess that's never happening for me. I am El Draque, a woman born for the sea!
- Bond Level 4
- Ooo... I drank too much. No good. Sorry, just let me rest my head on your lap for a minute.
- Bond Level 5
- It's been a long journey... This adventure is worth more than money can buy. My journey may be over, but yours will continue. The end is in sight though. Set sail, Master!
- Conversation 4
- Huh? Teach? Didn't they call him the last pirate after I died? Of course I'd take notice of him. But then again, look at him... Honestly I'm relieved. It's good to know that no matter how much time passes, pirates will always be scum!
- Conversation 5
- Huh...Columbus? That's one dangerous Servant to let hang around. He's one of my great predecessors. First-class merchant. Horrible human being. Of course I like him. He has tons of money, after all. How do you think I should steal it from him?
- Conversation 6
- Wow, is that the real King of the Storm!? In my head, I imagined her to be a beast the size of a mountain! ...Then again, hmmm... (Hehe) If that's what it takes, maybe being the King of the Storm wouldn't be so bad. Although...having to have a ghost entourage would be a bit...scary.
