Stories

Character details

The Queen of the strong, who possesses both might and virtue.

But...■■■■■■■■. The moment THAT topic comes up, even in passing, her entire being is consumed by rage.

Whatever makes her associate something with HIM is known only to her...or perhaps even she does not truly know.

That is why she is a Berserker.

Must. Kill. Achilles.

Profile 2

Penthesilea is an Amazonian queen of Greek mythology. She is the daughter of Ares, and is said to have multiple sisters, including Hippolyta, whose girdle was stolen by Heracles.

After the death of Hektor, the Amazon military led by Penthesilea sided with Troy, and fought against the Achaean forces.

And thus Queen Penthesilea engaged in a duel with the enemy's hero, Achilles. Its conclusion resulted in the greatest humiliation of Penthesilea's life.

Profile 3

Calling her "beautiful" was probably reflexive on his part.

She fought as a warrior. She was not showing her feminine side. If her fight to the death was against a true warrior, such a hero would have felt relieved from seeing their enemy defeated. "They're defeated." "I'm glad I didn't die." "Won't get up ever again." Yet he...unbelievably...

Rage beyond comprehension or description exploded within her.

There was nothing else to do but laugh. At the end, the only thing she could do was hurl curses at him to provoke him.

And so she vowed: "The man who had humiliated me so...no matter what shape or form, I will hunt him down to battle once again...and kill him."

Profile 4

Golden Rule (Beauty): A

Indicates that she is destined to be a perfect beauty, like unto a goddess, no matter how she is raised.

Her beauty was said to have made many mistake her for a goddess during the Trojan War. That's why, when Achilles removed her helmet...

Madness Enhancement: EX

It is generally possible to communicate with her.

However, whenever she is confronted by Achilles, her sense of reason evaporates. She has a similar, if not as powerful, response to seeing any of the loathed Greek heroes.

Calling her beautiful may also elicit a similar response.

Roar of the God of War: A+

The roar that calls up the blood of Ares that courses through her veins.

Warriors that fight by her side are emboldened and strengthened by the roar, as if led by the God of War himself.

During the Trojan War, it was said that the battle cry of the Amazons caused the enemy to tremble in fear.

Whenever she comes face-to-face with the cause of her rage (a Greek hero, or anything similar derived from the Greeks) her roar will sound until she, or her enemy, is killed.

Profile 5

『Outrage Amazon』

Rank: B NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Perish Within My Rage, Ye Hero.

Her vengeful hatred for Achilles, her warrior spirit striving for strength, and War God Ares' bloodline...all of these things are roused in her fury, and she purposefully transforms into a beast, a true Berserker who has lost all sense of reason.

She charges forward, screaming "Achilles!!!" even if the target is not Achilles, as she can think of nothing else. She attacks with everything she has, whether with weapons or barehanded, and in the end, finishes everything by biting like a beast.

An anti-Achilles ultimate kill move.

Additional profile

She unconsciously refuses to manifest as the perfect incarnation of beauty she was seen as in her later years. Said form is what caused her great humiliation, so she considers herself when she possessed such beauty to be outside her prime.

If she was summoned as an adult from the Trojan War, an estimated five to ten years later, she would have likely been summoned as a Lancer, Archer, or even a Rider.

Bond Level 1(True Name Known): I am a queen. You may be my Master, but you'll need to be mindful of your behavior. Those who show disrespect will pay a price most dear.
Bond Level 2(True Name Known): I see. So that is your strength... It is...something I do not possess. How intriguing.
Bond Level 3(True Name Known): What I have is unflattering muscle and the stubborn pride of a queen. Are you sure you want to invest so much in a Servant like me who is neither friendly nor interesting? ...You truly are a curious one.
Bond Level 4(True Name Known): I beg of you, do not see me as a woman. I am tired of being seen that way. My once in a lifetime one-on-one combat against a renowned hero was interrupted by that treatment... Do you now understand my resentment?
Bond Level 5(True Name Known): Tsk...you're such a fool. But I have changed my way of thinking. If you can't help seeing me as a woman, and as beautiful...I just need my strength to eclipse both! Brace yourself, Master! You will have a front row seat to witness my power...for eternity!
Conversation 1(True Name Known): Serve your role as my traveling partner, Master. Let's head out in search of powerful enemies we have yet to meet...and my one nemesis whom I will never forgive.
Conversation 2(True Name Known): You are the Master of this queen. I expect you to demonstrate the appropriate strength and dignity for such a role.
Conversation 3(True Name Known): The strong rule the weak. What other way could there be?
Likes(True Name Known): Things I like? A true, earnest battle, training, capable subordinates, my sisters... And powerful enemies I have yet to meet.
Dislikes(True Name Known): Heracles, Thēseus, and Achilles... Hmph. Heroes, heroes, and more heroes. They are the reason for the fall of the nation of Amazons. ...Though I do admit they are powerful enemies.
About the Holy Grail(True Name Known): My wish upon the Holy Grail could be only one thing. You should know very well what it is. Once more... With that man... And this time...!
Conversation 4(True Name Known): Heracles...! I will avenge my older sister, Hippolyta!
Conversation 5(True Name Known): So that's Hektor of the Shining Helmet... If only I had arrived earlier, I could have lent him my strength. We might have led Troy to victory. How regrettable…
Conversation 6(True Name Known): Achilles! ACHILLEEES! Where the hell are you!? I'll kill you!
Conversation 7(True Name Known): It matters not if our limbs are crushed or even ripped off. Amazons continue fighting. We have no use for healers. Then again... I suppose he did revive my nephew. I should thank him for that.
Conversation 8(True Name Known): Prince Paris, is that you? I never thought I would be fighting alongside you once again. That former disgrace will be erased in battle. I vow that you will not see such an unsightly display ever again.
Conversation 9(True Name Known): Odysseus is here!? Yes, I know him. I also know that it was not the sword or spear of a hero that ended the war, but some dirty scheme of his! One of these days I'll have to teach him the proper ways of war!
During an Event(True Name Known): Don't get left behind in the event, Master. Isn't it where all the strongest gather?
Birthday(True Name Known): Oh? That is a joyous occasion. Would you like to try my tribe's ritual to celebrate one's growth? It'll only kill you if you fail.
