Fate/Servant Powerpuff (Part 1)

Chapter IX

Francis Drake, she was a ship's captain who made her name as both an adventurer and fleet commander. He was a man in historical fact, but Drake appears in this work as a woman. This is caused by the fact how nobody in her surroundings saw Drake as a woman. According to a sailor, "Ergh, we cannot call ourselves men if we look the captain as a woman; or rather, it would be rude towards her." She was the renowned explorer who successfully became the second person alive who circumnavigated the globe, the first person known to have attempted this feat was Ferdinand Magellan but he died halfway through his voyage, and so Sebastian Elcano took the lead of the expedition and became the actual first one to circumnavigate the earth. She paved the way for England to become the dominant superpower in the Age of Discovery through its substantial earnings.

During the time of Francis Drake, England was considered to be a second-rate power with no real influence beyond its borders and no colonies of worth overseas. It was primarily due to his voyages and successes on the high seas that gave rise to the British Empire. What created the opportunity for them to be reborn in the world as the British Empire were the voyages that Drake accomplished. The story goes that there were six tons of just spice in the load she had at the time of her return, and that by far exceeded the national budget of the England of that time. These commodities and the detailed maps produced during the world circumnavigation became the capital to put together a fleet that could compete with the world's champion - Spain - and served as foundation for the establishment of the East India Company.

This person was also the one who was given credit for the virtual destruction of Spain's Invincible Armada, which caused the nation once thought of as "the kingdom on which the sun will never set" to the edge of collapse. During what was to be the final confrontation between England and Spain's Invincible Armada, the name given to the Spanish naval forces during the period of history known as the Age of Discovery. The Invincible Armada consisted of an estimated 65,000 men serving on more than a hundred large warships, each of which weighed in at over 1,000 tons. Francis Drake was commissioned as a vice admiral in the English navy. Using an unorthodox strategy involving the use of fire-ships, she forced the Spanish fleet into open water where they could be bombarded with cannon fire. Spain's Great Britain Conquest Armada was defeated without being able to land. After this, the Spanish people started to fear and call Drake in the following way "The Devil" El Draque.

Francis Drake however knew someone that represented the nation England; Arthur Kirkland. The two met a few times and they fought next to each other. An oft-mentioned aspect of the Drake mythos is that of his ship, the Golden Hind. Not only was it the flagship of Drake's fleet, it was seen as a symbol of hope and a source of miracles. The exploits the Golden Hind made possible elevated Drake to a level on par with King Arthur. Both are said to dwell in Avalon, the city of the dead, and will eventually return to lead England to true glory.

In addition - and this is merely literary creation - there is also a story full of romance in which Drake was a companion of Queen Elizabeth and, just before setting sail for the world circumnavigation, switched places with the Queen, who could no longer go out in public due to receiving a wound on her face. She died of dysentery at the age of 55. Her dying wish was that she be buried in her full armor.

Of course, England (Arthur Kirkland) made sure that the legend of Francis Drake would still be male no matter what. This made Drake rather happy and even now she would die to meet him again. Drake, when summoned here in Chaldea, already began to like Bliss. After she steered her first ship the pirate loved to hang out with her.

Now that she is becoming older and more mature she knows that when she becomes an adult then they will drink until they can no longer stand! But if she had to choose between the two Utonium girls then she would rather have someone that knows how to navigate her men. Bubbles is cute and could use some work, she wonders or Buttercup can do it.
