Name: Hippolyta Gender: Female Approximate apparent age: Somewhere in her 30s Personality: Archer is everything one would expect of a leader of fierce warriors. She's strong, fearless, and cares greatly for the women under her command. She's also compassionate; she treats every amazon like her sister, and will go to great lengths to keep them safe from harm. Like attacking the capitol city of a powerful nation, for example. This is pretty much the only thing that can really set her off! Archer is a true Mother to her Girls. She's prideful but not to the point where she boasts about her combat prowess, led her followers with a stern hand, and generally had a good head on her shoulders. She's capable of kindness, and isn't one whose temper can be set off at the drop of a hat.
... All of this applies only when she's in female company, however. She has a great contempt to anyone of the male gender, a trait common among amazons. Her opinion of men had started to change, once upon a time, but it was soured again almost instantly by the actions of one huge jerkface as mentioned below. She treats men as far inferior to those of her own gender; to Archer, they're no better than dogs.
Class: Archer Fighting Style: Focuses mostly on her bow, though as the leader of a race of warriors, she is able to wield other weapons as well. Focuses more on face-to-face fighting rather than stealth. Attitude towards the Holy Grail War: Neutral. Her main focus is to protect her Master.
Noble Phantasm: Belt of Ares - With it, all her physical stats are boosted up one rank. Call to Arms - Can summon reinforcement Amazons. These Amazons are significantly weaker than Archer, and any who are destroyed in battle will not reappear until the next time she uses this Noble Phantasm.
Angst-filled AU historical backstory: Hippolyta's backstory is more or less the same as her mythological background. She was the leader of the Amazons, a race of all-female warriors. She was visited by the hero Heracles, who needed to retrieve her belt for the daughter of King Eurystheus, as the ninth task in his fabled Ten Labors. Despite him being a man, Hippolyta was impressed with his strength and skill, and agreed to hand the belt over. Things would have ended peacefully, but Theseus, one of Heracles' companions, thought it would be a smart idea to capture one of Hippolyta's fellow amazons, a woman named Antiope. This was actually a Very Bad Idea, and the amazons quickly attacked. Heracles and his companions were able to flee, but the amazons tracked them down, eventually attacking the city of Athens itself. This was a Very Bad Idea on the Amazons' part, and most of them died in the battle, including Antiope and Hippolyta herself. However, in an attempt to bring her some peace before she died, her surviving warriors did not tell her of Antiope's death, and so she passed on with the fake knowledge that she was able to give her life for another's safety.
