* BerserkButton: Once made it a point to slam [[LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners Touko Aozaki]]'s. The infuriated Touko massacred more than ''two and a half dozens'' of Francesca's bodies and destroyed several of her safehouses for the insult.

* CuteAndPsycho: A pretty girl that acts cutesy at times, but the things she says about wanting [[spoiler: to see a [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha certain]] [[UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc female saint]] suffer]] says a lot about her sanity.

* NoodleIncident: When she tried to enter Fuyuki during the [[LightNovel/FateZero Fourth Holy Grail War]] to [[spoiler:reunite with her old friend Gilles]], she was confronted by Zouken Matou. What happened is a mystery, besides her complaining after the fact that her illusions don't work on bugs and that she had to give up her [[BornAgainImmortality current reincarnation]] during the confrontation.

* AscendedExtra: Sigma was nothing more than a backdrop as part of [[LightNovel/FateZero Maiya's backstory]] but here he's now a character in his own right.

* MythologyGag: He's the son of [[LightNovel/FateZero Maiya Hisau.]]

* YouKilledMyFather: Kiritsugu Emiya and Natalia Kaminski killed her grandfather Odd Borzak back in ''LightNovel/FateZero'''s backstory. Without Odd's protection, her family was slaughtered by their Magus rivals and she was the only survivor. This is the reason why she wants to ruin Magus society by destroying the Masquerade.

* AscendedExtra: Mary Lil Fargo, who originated as a one-off character from the ''LightNovel/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles'' anime for a MysteryOfTheWeek episode, is now one of the Masters of True Rider.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Many of them, notably Rin who was one of the three main heroines of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Svin who was part of the main cast in ''LightNovel/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles'', and Caules who was one of the protagonists in the AlternateTimeline of ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Just like how she appeared in the epilogues of ''Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks'' and ''Anime/FateStayNightHeavensFeel'' as well as in ''[[LightNovel/LordElMelloiIICaseFiles The Adventures of El-Melloi II]]'', Rin has grown into a beautiful young woman by the time of ''Fate/strange Fake''.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is very reluctant to enter elevators, as that's when her visions of the little girl's ghost are most likely to appear.[[spoiler:Well... before she arrived in Snowfield anyway.]]

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Shows up only in a flashback where she gets to show off her combat abilities [[spoiler:before being beaten by Rin and having her Command Seals taken]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Verner Caesarmund, Org Rum, the Pentel twins, Roland Berzinsky, and Fezgram vor Sembren were all mentioned in passing in the first volume as examples of successful students of El-Melloi II who graduated at the highest ranks of Pride or Brand. Later, in the sixth volume, those who would have become Red Masters in the ''Fate/Apocrypha'' timeline are said to have been saved by El-Melloi in a NoodleIncident of MassHypnosis at an auction, and, in thanks, entrusted their relatives (most of the aforementioned students[[note]]Verner is the son of Orlocke Caesarmund from the first ''El-Melloi Case Files'' novel.[[/note]]) to him.

* AmbiguousSituation: Her involvement in the War itself, or if she's in Snowfield at all, is in question. Volume 7 reveals that [[spoiler:she managed to do little more than summon her Servant before getting her Command Seals taken]].

* GenderBender: Is the female reincarnation of [[spoiler:Francois Prelati]].

* GroupieBrigade / InstantFanClub: Can pretty much be described as Waver's adoring fans, though they also acknowledge his flaws and mock him for it.

* RedHerring: The forces behind the True and False Wars (and us by connection) are led to believe she's True Rider's Master.

* NoodleIncident: Apparently, at some point, [[AnimalMotifs Svin and Roland]] lost to a [[Characters/{{FateGrandOrderCrypters}} Zemlupus]] beast hunter due to [[ElementalRockPaperScissors bad compatibility]] from facing an anti-beast expert when they embody wolves and snakes respectively.

[[folder:Doris Lusendra]]
The Master of True Rider. She is said to be from a clan that boasts mastery of Reinforcement magecraft.

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:She's clearly not True Rider's Master, but her involvement in the War itself, or if she's in Snowfield at all, is in question. Volume 8 reveals that she managed to do little more than summon her Servant before getting her Command Seals taken.]]
* TheChosenMany: [[spoiler:Averted. She's True Rider's Master, however she's also not the ''real'' one. Turns out, the rest of El-Melloi's class (Except Flat who became False Berserker's and Yvette who was denied from being one beause she'd betray them when she got bored) are all True Rider's real Master, which should be impossible in any normal war. Snowfield's war, however, is clearly ''anything'' but normal, and Verner Caesarmund used his family magic to split the Command Seal across the students.]]
* IWorkAlone: She refuses to work with or even contact the group behind the war. [[spoiler:Most likely since she already has a team to work with, and they all follow the teachings of a man who doesn't want to see any more Grail Wars in his life, or she isn't involved with the war at all.]]
* RedHerring: [[spoiler: The forces behind the True and False Wars (and us by connection) are led to believe she's True Rider's Master... But instead El-Melloi's class (except two people) shares that distinction.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: One can't mention her involvement in the War without dealing with her involvement[[spoiler: (or rather, the lack of)]] in it.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Shows up only in a flashback where she gets to show off her combat abilities before being beaten by Rin and having her Command Seals taken.]]

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:She's clearly not True Rider's Master, but her involvement in the War itself, or if she's in Snowfield at all, is in question.]]

* TheDrago: Becomes this to Ishtar, as her High Priestess.
