Rider is a supporting character featured in Type-Moon's visual novel Fate/stay night. She is a participant of the story's "Fifth Holy Grail War", appearing as the Servant of Shinji Matou, the arrogant rival of protagonist Shirou Emiya. As such, Rider is often fought by Shirou Emiya and his friends in the first two routes of the visual novel, and is among the first Servants to be defeated. In the third and final route, "Heaven's Feel", Rider takes on a more significant role when it is revealed that her true Master is actually Sakura Matou, the route's main heroine. Rider betrays Shinji and switches her allegiance to Sakura, thus making her an ally of Shirou's party and allowing the Servant to realize her full potential.
Rider's true identity is Medusa, the famous Gorgon (snake girl) from Greek mythology. Like her namesake, she has the special ability to petrify things just by looking at them, but this ability is rarely shown since she is always seen blindfolded. The Servant prefers to fight indirectly, utilizing subversive tactics such as ambushes, and her weapon of choice is a pair of "Nameless Daggers", which is essentially a thick nail tied to a chain similar to kusarigama (chain sickles).
Since the release of the Fate/Grand Order game, Medusa has also appeared as a younger Lancer-class Servant named Ana. This incarnation has been entered in various character tournaments, but for the purposes of this Wiki, her tournament history will be shared with Rider.
