Character PERSONALITY:
“I couldn’t have lived without Fairy Tail. A world without my friends is unthinkable. You are all just that important to me.”
During her enslavement at the Tower of Heaven, Erza was a meek child who believed that she was unremarkable in every way, even saying that her name was plain. This was until she met Jellal and the other prisoners. Despite their situation and low life expectancy, Erza was grateful to have friends. She looked up to Jellal because of his strong sense of justice and his kindness. Around this time Rob, an older prisoner whom Erza began affectionately calling “Grandpa”, told her about the wonders of magic and she began to dream of freedom. Erza believes that although she does her utmost to protect others, she is the one always in need of protecting as both Jellal and Grandpa Rob sacrificed themselves to save her. After Jellal’s fall to darkness and her exile from the Tower by him, Erza became withdrawn and quiet for some time even after joining Fairy Tail. She took to wearing armor, which became something of a safety blanket for her and seldom removed it even when she wasn’t on a mission. She would sit apart from others and rarely speak to anyone unless spoken to first and even then her responses were curt.
Erza would often get into fights with Gray because he mistook her aloof behavior for arrogance. In truth Erza would often cry when she thought no one was around to see her. One afternoon Gray questioned her about why she was always by herself, Erza told him that she was uncomfortable around people and preferred to be alone Erza, an excuse that Gray saw through easily. He asked her, “Then why are you always crying by yourself?” to which she had no response. Gray chose to sit with Erza that day so that she wouldn’t be by her herself and consequently became her first friend within the guild. As time went on Erza became more open with other members of Fairy Tail and devoted her life to the guilds principles. She developed stern attitude and took responsibility for breaking up the fights between Natsu and Gray (often by beating the stuffing out of both of them.) This same attitude earned her a rivalry with the then rebellious Mirajane and the two would butt heads often.
At age nineteen Erza has become a well respected and somewhat feared individual within abroad and within the guild for the quiet threat of her abilities. Erza approaches every situation as a challenge to be conquered, no matter how mundane the task. She never whines or shirks from responsibility no matter how menial the chore and takes great pride in being a member of Fairy Tail, believing that giving anything less than your absolute best under any circumstance reflects poorly on the guild. Accordingly she has become something akin to a disciplinarian within the guild and is never one to shy away from scolding others or enforcing the laws of the guild and there are few people unwise enough not to test her patience. Her devotion to the guild’s authority is such that Erza once hunted down Lucy and the others when they’d gone off on an S-Class job after being forbidden to do so. While she had gone to drag them back with no questions asked, she decided to help them after seeing Gray’s determination to complete the job. Even after the task had been completed she assured them they would still be punished, much to their dismay.
While to strangers Erza may come across as a serious and capable woman, her friends know that she is indeed a very kind and compassionate person as well who places the safety and happiness of her friends above everything. Erza is always ready to offer encouragement or a shoulder to cry on if someone needs it. She would give up anything without hesitation if it would make her friends smile. An example of this is that when she was younger and did not receive a piece of fake jewelry like the other girls because there was not enough, she stated that she didn’t need something like that and that the others should enjoy it; in truth she had really wanted one as well. Likewise if her friends are in danger, Erza would move heaven, earth and anything in between to protect them. Even though she is renowned as one of the strongest mages in Fiore, Erza never boasts about her strength stating that all she needs is the power to protect her comrades and that so long as she has enough strength to do that, she wouldn’t care if she was weaker than everyone in the world.
Erza is not without her quirks and has her girly moments. She has a great fondness for cake and she becomes violent when she is deprived of it. Despite her usually reserved demeanor Erza can get as rowdy as the rest of Fairy Tail if she’s pushed to it. Erza is also a fan of risqué novels but is embarrassed to admit it. Erza also has a strange view of modesty likely due to her childhood. She wears sexy, often revealing clothes if she thinks it looks cute or needs to use her sex appeal to accomplish a task. This is ironic as she has little patience for men who make romantic advances toward her, often reacting with violence in most cases. Erza has a hidden love for theatre and acting but she suffers from extreme stage fright. However she admits to sometimes putting on a costume and enacting a play she once did with her friends when she’s alone.
Erza’s girly and goofy moments are tempered by her great passion and sense of justice. She will never refuse help to anyone, will suffer any pain and fight for what she believes in. As Grandpa Rob once told her, “Freedom is within your heart.” Erza has chosen to use that freedom to live life with all her might and create a happy future with her friends and Fairy Tail.

First PERSON:
[The feed turns on to show a woman with numerous bandages across her chest and arms, as well as a few band aids on her face. Despite this she still appears dignified whilst staring at the screen.]
I’ve been informed that this devices works similarly to a communications lacrima and that it is connected to similar devices throughout this place.
I would like to know if there are any people here who are familiar with Healing Magic? I would be extremely grateful if you would spare a moment to assist me.
[She runs her fingertips over the small tattoo on her arm, her expression becomes fond and melancholy at the same time. ]
And please… If you’ve seen anyone else here with this mark, contact me immediately.
[She reaches over and cuts the feed.]
Third PERSON:
Falling.
Erza felt as though she were falling, endlessly into nothing. Erza wondered if this was what oblivion felt like; an endless darkness at the end of her life. It was different a feeling than the time she had nearly died before, it felt… lonelier.
Erza’s eyes shot open as pain flared up along her abdomen waking her from what must have been a dream. For a few moments she simply laid there, staring up at the ceiling as she tried to gather her wits. The first thing she noticed was the absence of the sea. She didn’t have to look around to know she wasn’t near the ocean at all; the tropical air and the crashing waves had been replaced by cold, stale air and the pitter-patter of footsteps drawing closer. Slowly the memory of the past few minutes flowed back to her. Erza remembered now; an immense black dragon that had attacked them and how she and the others had struggled against it to no avail. Even so they had refused to lie down and die, instead joining hands to pool their magic in one final act of defiance; Erza had never been more proud to be a member of Fairy Tail. She had heard the dragon’s roar, seen the blinding light burst from its maw and then she was here and her friends were no longer at her side.
An indescribable fear clawed at her and Erza struggled to sit up, ignoring the faint pain of her injuries that echoed throughout her body as she moved. She gazed around the room for any sign of her comrades but she was alone. Erza considered her situation for a moment as she moved purposefully from the bed toward the door. Could it have been Anima that had transported her here? If so it meant that it was possible the others had been brought to this place as well. Erza pushed the thoughts of the alternative from her mind; she couldn’t give in to despair when there was still hope. If they were here she would find them. If they were not, Erza would find a way back to them.
Just before she reached the door however, a woman in purple and black uniform appeared in her path. Erza stood her ground, glaring at the newcomer as the woman began to speak.
