Summary
Rider is a Servant of the Rider class who can be summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru in the Grand Orders. She initially appears as one of the Servants summoned by Gilles de Rais in a berserk state during the Orleans singularity.
Her true name is Martha, best known as the saint who tamed the monstrous dragon Tarasque. First appearing as a figure in the Bible, she witnessed the Messiah's resurrection of her brother, Lazarus, and became a woman of unshakable faith, though she never quite got over her town girl origins, retaining something of a short temper.

Noble Phantasms
| “ | O, Dragon That Knew Naught of Love... Like stars! Tarasque! | „ |
| ~ Martha using her Noble Phantasm |
Tarasque: O' Tragic Drake Who Knew Naught of Love: Martha's primary Noble Phantasm, which allows her to summon the monstrous dragon Tarasque, who she tamed after it fell in love with her for her perfect, holy radiance. The Tarasque is an immense, tyrannical dragon capable of annihilating an enemy and their camp in a single attack. It can move in both the water and on the ground with equal ease, has a tail covered in venomous spikes, and can breathe gouts of blazing fire.
Tarasque: O’ Dragon’s Shield that Shall Not Let a Blade Pass: A protective Noble Phantasm. Martha summons the dragon Tarasque's shell to shield herself and her allies from assault, significantly enhancing her target's defensive power and negating most physical damage before it expires.
Class Skills
Magic Resistance: An innate ability that grants protection against magical effects. Unlike the Resistance effect, which merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether. At this rank of A, Martha is immune to all but the strongest, oldest magics of the Age of Gods, rendering her virtually untouchable to modern magi.
Riding: The class skill of Rider and Saber class Servants, allowing them to ride mounts and vehicles with incredible aptitude. With a stellar, unparalleled rank of A++, Martha can ride all beasts and vehicles with complete, masterful control, bringing their capabilities up to a supernatural scale. While the Riding skill would not normally allow a Servant to ride members of the Dragon Kind, Martha is a special case and can ride even dragons masterfully.
Personal Skills
Divinity: The measure of one's Divine Spirit aptitude, reflected in high ranks by the user becoming part Divine Spirit. At A-rank, it is even an indicator of who has reached the Throne of Gods. Additionally, it has the effect of reducing one's "Anti-Purge protection" in proportion to their Divinity rank, enabling one to bypass protective abilities such as Protection of the Faith and Saver's Enlightenment of the Sacred Fig. Martha earned her C-rank as a result of her tales of traveling with the great Messiah and taming the dragon Tarasque, which earned her the title of saint.
Miracle: The ability to occasionally realize a miracle that makes the impossible possible, similarly to but different from the skill born by legendary pioneers, Pioneer of the Stars.
Protection of the Faith: A form of divine protection which gives "absoluteness of one's body and soul" to those who have sacrificed themselves in the name of their faith. While it is a form of divine protection, it is not a blessing given by a higher existence but a defense granted by the user's unshakable devotion to their beliefs.
Saint of the Waterside: Saint Martha is strongly associated with water, owing to her legend of riding across the water in a boat and reining Tarasque on a riverbank. When she is within view of a waterside, Martha becomes more powerful.
