Still Better than Black Keys.

Biography:
Leonardo Da Vinci, the greatest of all European Renaissance artists. A peerless genius and pioneer of many modern scientific and artistic developments that only would reach full fruit decades if not centuries past his death. This visionary ahead of his time was summoned to Chaldea in the guise of the Mona Lisa, his favorite ideal representation of ultimate beauty, and would serve a long career as a guiding hand behind mankind's defense against their greatest threats.
Now, that beauty gets to shine under the bright sun of a summer vacation! Called forth to take the South Seas by assault from above, Leonardo has changed her Class to Rider on her own account and sets out to have fun for a weekend, away from the workshop and depicting the great outdoors lifestyle from personal observation. This has turned the Servant into a maniac of parachuting, air gliding, and related forms of traversing the clear sky.
Class Skills:
Magic Resistance: C
Rider is knowledgeable on the particulars and logistics of the manipulation of the supernatural, even if she is not a practitioner of the magical arts herself. However, she can defend herself against the specifics of offensive magecraft to a degree. Her Skill can protect her as much as a high performance anti-magic amulet from her time, traded in secret by the magi of the period, possibly could.
Rider is mostly defenseless against holy and divine relics, as well as godly magic and spells from the Era of Gods.
Riding: B
Unlike the Riding specific to Da Vinci's child form, this Rider is more oriented towards the usage of air vehicles, especially those related to summer relaxation, and preferably light in weight. Regardless, Rider still retains a high amount of technical and practical knowlege on the driving of land and water vehicles as well, and even normal beasts are not below her capacity to control and steer.
However, Rider lacks any capacity to ride dragons or phantasmal beasts.
Personal Skills:
Golden Body: A
The perfect body to enjoy summer with under the scorching heat of a tropical sun. The flawless woman, now exhibited in all her tempting glory.
The skimpy red bikini supplied by the new Saint Graph enhances the Skill's rank from Da Vinci's Caster form, and renders most men in her wake defenseless and witless, open to seduction and manipulation. Not that our good Director in functions would do that, not... or would she? The Director's ways may be subtle, but she definitely has them. As expected from such a person with resources.
Inherent Wisdom: EX
Even in the heat of a vacation, Rider doesn't lose sight of what is truly important. She can see the large picture in any given situation and formulate complex plans and schemes on how to deal with pretty much any problem. She has a gift with people and understanding her feelings and struggles, even if this will often not be evident.
Pioneer of the Stars: A+
A most unique Skill, given to heroes and heroines that served as major turning points in human history. All difficult enterprises and challenges which would otherwise be considered impossible turn into events that can and 'will' be realized.
The Skill's rank is lowered slightly from her Caster EX qualification due to Rider being on a summer break mentality, somewhat apart from work.
Accel Turn: B
A skill inspired by fellow summer goddess Ishtar. As a skilled pilot, this allows Rider to perform an emergency dodge at critical moments and even in midair and at full speeds.
Noble Phantasm:
1505 Codex on the Flight of Birds: A
Rider had, during her mortal existence, a lifelong fascination towards the nature of flying, and long wished to master the mechanics of tripulated flight. As a man, Da Vinci designed several machines intended to allow a man to traverse the airs, to several degrees of success.
However, as a Servant, now the sky's the literal limit! Through this Noble Phantasm, Rider can summon one of a variety of devices intended to allow for a safe flight during the times of summer and beyond. There is a miniature helicopter, perfect to overlook the island domains of a patron or benefactor, and which can carry up to two passengers with Rider.
There is a modified air glider, able to only carry one passenger attached to Rider's figure, and which can be used, much like the helicopter, to bombard enemies from above while reaching speeds the helicopter could not achieve.
Finally, there is a design of 'bat-wings' which allow for a higher maneuvering and precision, but are best employed during an escape, as they possess no offensive abilities and cannot carry any passengers. When using this device, Rider gains an A ranked Evasion skill.
Summon: "Proudly introducing the new fashion of Rider Servant for this holiday! Oh? Don't be nervous, I am still the same as before! Or might it be that you just are stunned by this beauty, uncovered to this degree? How flattering..."
Start of Battle: "I'll take you on a flight of fancy!"
"The higher I take you... the harder your fall!"
Victory: "The result, my dear, never was in any doubt."
"What a moment to immortalize! Bring me my canvas!"
"I just love painting by the sea..."
Defeat:
"Merda..."
"This did not result as planned..."
"This is okay. After all, I have a backup plan..."
Defeat by Noble Phantasm: "I only request for you, Master, to keep on fighting for Chaldea in my absence..."
Noble Phantasm Activation: "Implementing the 1505 Protocol! Taking it to the sky! The authorization to perform a full aerial strike is granted!"
Extra Dialogue:
"Holmes, just the same as ever... Look, I know these are the tropics, but you shouldn't be asking around for THAT kind of merchants. This isn't Colombia and you know it." (When you have Ruler Sherlock Holmes).
"... take this person away from my presence immediately!" (When you have Assassin Rasputin).
"She is a holiday Rider from the snowy North, and I'm one from the sunny South. I suppose it was to be expected, that she wouldn't like me very much. My Mediterranean sensibilities must have offended her." (When you have Rider Sitonai).
"... no, I'm not offended. Far from it. As a matter of fact, I'm somewhat flattered! I believe..." (When you have Saber Leonardo the Ninja Turtle).
"The greatest genius of the galaxy? Oh well, if you say so... This isn't a competition, you know?" (When you have Caster Hakubi Washu).
"Eh? Who has let you out yet? What is going on here, who has tampered with the schedule?" (When you have Rider Da Vinci Lily).
Birthday: "Happy birthday, Maestro! Come with me, I will take you to the greatest heights a Servant can show you!"
Event: "Oh ho ho! They're always so lively, aren't they? Let us go. We may learn something interesting along the way!"
Holy Grail: "No, my thoughts on this matter have not changed in the slightest. Hmmm, it might be interesting, to perform a study on this new one..."
To be Continued.
