Erza Scarlet

Erza Scarlet

"Titania" Erza Scarlet (エルザ・スカーレット Eruza Sukāretto?), named after Eru, a character from Mashima's one-shot manga that served as a pilot for Fairy Tail,[vol. 2:afterword] is a 19-year-old swordswoman with a guild ranking of S-Class. She is widely considered to be the most powerful female member of the guild. Using the re-equip magic "The Knight" (ザ・ナイト Za Naito), she can summon different weapons and change armor and clothes at will.] Additionally, she has an artificial eye, which can make her immune to illusions and eye-based magic, and halves their effects if used on both of her eyes. Erza initially sheds tears from her real eye due to a defect with her artificial eye, but Mashima eventually abandoned this aspect after accidentally drawing some scenes where Erza has tears flowing from both eyes. She usually chastises slackers and serves as Fairy Tail's punisher, but eventually becomes friendlier towards her guildmates.
Erza is enslaved and forced to build the Tower of Heaven when she is 11 years old; while there, she befriends several slave children, which includes Jellal Fernandez. After Jellal is taken away for rebelling against their captors, Erza leads a slave revolt to save Jellal. Jellal is brainwashed into serving Zeref and continues the tower's construction, forcing Erza to escape and make a name for herself as a Fairy Tail wizard.[ch. 83,89] Later, Erza helps Jellal atone for his misdeeds and eventually professes her love for him. She is voiced by Sayaka Ohara. In the English dub, her voice actress is Colleen Clinkenbeard.
