"All I need is the power to be able to protect my comrades. So long as I can have the strength to do that, I don't care if I'm weaker than everyone in the world."Erza Scarlet is an S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail who is famous for her usage of Requip Magic. She is also a member of Team Natsu, as well as one of the main female protagonists of the series.— Erza Scarlet to Azuma in "Tenrou Tree"
Appearance
Erza is a young woman who has long scarlet hair and brown eyes. She has an artificial right eye made by Porlyusica(replacing the one she lost as a child). She has a slender figure that Lucydescribes as amazing and, like most females in the series, she has large breasts. Her most common attire consist of custom-made armor by Heart Kreuzsmiths, a blue skirt, and black boots. Her Fairy Tail stamp is blue and located on the middle of her left upper arm. Erza specializes in requip magic, and uses it to requip not only armor, but different outfits as well, allowing her to change her attire at any given time.
Personality
Erza is a very strict person, often criticizing the bad behavior and habits of the other guild members, causing most of them to apologize, fearing that they might invoke her wrath. She is also very impatient disliking people who don't answer her questions quickly enough. This, coupled with her own tragic childhood, caused many of her guildmates to avoid her due to her social awkwardness. However, she has a great sense of justice and pride in being a member of Fairy Tail.
Natsu describes her as "strong, mean and scary"; Lucy says that she's "cool and beautiful, warm and full of passion". Jellal, when he had lost his memories, remembering nothing but the name "Erza", said her name was "full of kindness, brightness and warmth".Makarov called Erza the "Female Knight who doesn't know how to hold back".
Erza described herself as someone who was always crying, since she wasn't able to protect those dear to her. Several examples are when Rob tried to shield her from destruction, and when Jellal was captured because he saved her and was brainwashed by "Zeref". Also, Erza has stated that she feels uncomfortable and insecure when not wearing armor.[3] However, when Erza encounters Ikaruga, she overcomes her fear behind and battles her without her armor.
Despite her reserved personality and mostly dressing in her conservative Heart Kreuz armor, Erza has shown to have very little modesty or inhibitions. Many of her armors are skimpy, revealing and feminine, and when out of armor she has an affinity for sexy and revealing clothing. Such examples are the sleek evening gown she wore at the casino during the Tower of Heaven arc, and when Team Natsu was working at former council member Shitou Yajima's restaurant, where they worked as waiters. Though Lucy was embarrassed about wearing the skimpy maid outfit, Erza showed no discomfort, taking orders with seductive poses, and after the job was over, she did not take the uniform off, leading Happy to state that she liked it. During the guild war with Phantom Lord, Erza felt no shame or fear at racing out to see the moving guild hall in nothing but a towel. Finally, Erza seems to have no problem with men (or at least her male guildmates) seeing her naked. She felt no discomfort stating her desire to shower with Natsu and Gray or the fact that she used to shower with them when they were younger. When they were at the hotspring, when she learned that the boys may have been peeping on her and the other girls, she wanted to invite them to bath with them much Wendys shock and Lucys strong objection. This side of her personality shows that her former dependance on her armor was purely psychological, and not out of any issue of modesty.
History
Early in her childhood, Erza was enslaved by a black magic cult and forced to build the Tower of Heaven, a structure developed for the purpose of resurrecting the dark mage Zeref.[4] She was imprisoned together with several other slaves, most of them children; among these children were Jellal Fernandes, Shô, Simon, Wally Buchanan, and Millianna. While they were asking each other for their names, she said her name was just "Erza," so Jellal decided to give her the surname "Scarlet" after her scarlet hair so they would never forget it.[5] Despite the harsh conditions of her enslavement and labor, Erza became close friends with the other children. She also formed a strong bond withRob, an elderly mage from the Fairy Tail guild, who taught her about magic and his guild.[6][7]
One day in X776, Shô came up with a plan for the ten-year-old Erza and all their friends to escape from the tower. They were unfortunately caught by the guards, who decided to send the escape's mastermind to the tower's disciplinary chamber while the rest would be deprived of food for three days (which, according to the guards, was a far more lenient punishment). Seeing how fearful Shô was, Erza prepared to take the blame herself, but Jellal announced himself as the mastermind instead. However, the guards reasoned that Erza was the one responsible and sent her to the disciplinary chamber,[8] where she was tortured to the brink of death and lost her right eye. Jellal rescued her, but was captured soon after. Finally fed up with their torment, Erza staged a revolt against their captors so they could escape and save Jellal.[9]
The revolt appeared to be successful at its inception[10] until the tower's mages arrived to repress the slaves, causing most of the other slaves to retreat. During the attack, Erza watched in horror as her friend Simon's lower jaw was blasted off by a magical attack, while Rob sacrificed himself to defend Erza from another mage's attack. In her rage, Erza's latent magical power was activated for the first time, and she used it to turn all of the weapons and tools around her against the guards, finishing the revolt.[11][12]
As the other slaves boarded ships meant to ensure their freedom, she reunited with Jellal, but discovered that he had changed; the kind and compassionate boy she knew him to be was suddenly twisted and violent, using magic to slaughter the defenseless guards around them. Jellal had been possessed by what he claimed to be the spirit of Zeref, and decided that the only way for them to attain true freedom was to complete the Tower of Heaven and revive Zeref. Erza refused to help him, prompting Jellal to cast her out of the tower by herself, only letting her live because she helped take care of all the guards who would have opposed him. Before letting her escape, Jellal told Erza to keep the Tower of Heaven a secret from the government, as well as to never return to the tower, threatening to destroy the tower and kill everyone in it, including their friends, if she disobeyed.[13]
After washing up on the shores of Fiore, Erza made her way to and joined the Fairy Tail guild.[7] She habitually began to wear armor and acted distant from the other members, still traumatized by Jellal's betrayal.[14] AfterGray, who tried picking fights with the reclusive Erza, saw her crying by herself and questioned why, she began to open up to her guildmates more.[15] Around this time, Fairy Tail's master Makarov brought Erza to seePorlyusica, who gave her an artificial eye to replace the one she lost. With her eye healed Erza shed tears of joy, which only came out of her real, left eye, though Erza didn't mind as she said she had already shed half of her tears.[16]
As the years passed, Erza became more and more strict until she could be called the guild's disciplinarian. She took responsibility for breaking up fights between Gray and Natsu. At the same time, however, she was driven to constantly fight and bicker with fellow member Mirajane, which eventually ended after Mirajane greatly mellowed out in the wake of her younger sister Lisanna's apparent death in X782. In the year X780, Erza passed Fairy Tail's annually held S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial, becoming the youngest member of the guild to do so at fifteen years of age.[17]
