The strong bonds between the Fairy Tail members and the way they support each other are must-sees, and each scene is a memorable one that you can't miss.

Erza Scarlet, one of the strongest members of "Fairy Tail", is one of the most skilled S-class wizards in the guild. Natsu and Gray have a lot of trust in Erza, saying "Erza will never lose," and there are many scenes where she lives up to their expectations. Not only them, but no average magician can match Erza, and she is also excellent in both martial arts and intelligence, being able to calmly analyze the habits and characteristics of her opponent's magic.

Erza is one of the top female members of "Fairy Tail", and as an S-class wizard, she is counted among the strongest of all the members. Because of this, she is nicknamed "Fairy Queen (Titania)" and is a wizard who is widely known among other guilds. Not only does she have high magical power worthy of her nickname, but as mentioned above, she also seems to fight while making use of her intelligence in battle, so she fights in a way that lives up to her name.

Not only is Erza highly skilled as a wizard, she also has the leadership skills to bring Fairy Tail together. When Natsu and Gray fight, which is a seasonal event in the guild, she yells to settle the situation, and when the master is absent, she takes the initiative to support them. It is no exaggeration to say that Erza's high leadership has helped them overcome many difficult situations and carnage, and it can be said that it is only because of Erza's presence that Fairy Tail is united.

It is because of Erza that the order and atmosphere within the guild is maintained. However, sometimes she is too serious, and she often leads those around her to mess around. Her overly serious personality can lead her to go in the wrong direction, and she is also naive when it comes to areas she is ignorant of. She is in a position that can be called the disciplinary committee chairman of "Fairy Tail", but her occasional misguided parts make you laugh, so pay attention to her simple expressions.

Many fans would say that Erza's charm is her indomitable spirit that never breaks. Even if the opponent is stronger than her, she shows the strength to stand up no matter how many times she falls to protect her guild and friends. In "FAIRY TAIL", the best example of this is Natsu, but Erza is also inspired by his words and strength and stands up again and again. There is also the way she behaves, but everyone will feel "cool" when they see Erza like that.

Erza has stronger feelings for her friends than any other wizard belonging to "Fairy Tail". "FAIRY "Fairytail" itself has some parts that depict the bond between friends, but Erza in particular has strong feelings. This is probably due to her position as an S-class mage and the sense of responsibility she feels in a position where she has to protect her friends, but this is especially evident in battle. Her continued fight to protect her beloved guild and friends is a must-see, and is perhaps the most appealing part of Erza's appeal.
Those who break the rules are punished mercilessly

Erza, who acts as the guild's disciplinary committee member, sometimes appears without hiding her angry expression. She shows this to those who betray "Fairy Tail", those who break the rules of the guild, and those who betray Makarov, and punishes them mercilessly. It is hard to call it a demonic expression, but it is drawn with an expression that is even worse than that, so not only can you see how Erza feels about her friends, but you can also see her strong anger towards those who betrayed her.
Erza's charm 4: She spent her childhood as a slave in the Tower of Paradise

FAIRY TAIL depicts the pasts of each of the main characters, and it is revealed that Erza was abandoned by her mother and lived as a slave in the Tower of Paradise. She was forced to do hard labor to build the tower and was not even allowed to see the sunlight. However, she is depicted as behaving like a girl her age at the time, and we can see the cute side of Erza as a child.

In the Tower of Paradise, besides Erza, there was also Jellal, and the two were attracted to each other. Jellal was a presence that cheered up the other slave children, and it is not rare for them to be encouraged by his figure. Erza also appears to be on the front lines during the uprising, encouraging her comrades, and this figure can be said to be her roots depicted in the story. After the battle at the Tower of Paradise, the two slowly regain their relationship over time.

After leaving the Tower of Paradise, Erza follows Rob, who took care of her, and joins "Fairy Tail". Erza used to have a bright expression when she was a slave, but she no longer smiles out of fear that she might lose someone again, and even after joining, she spends her time without interacting with anyone. Even though she is a young girl, she closes her heart and lives an isolated life in the guild.

Young Erza always spent her time in the corner of a building, but Gray, who had been watching her, could not bear it and approached her. At first, he had no words to respond to her logical arguments, but then he witnessed Erza crying alone by the river at dusk. This exchange led to Erza gradually becoming integrated into "Fairy Tail", and she grew into a wizard who was relied on by everyone, completing various requests.

In the story, Erza is a disciplinary committee member and a strong leader, but when she was young, she was often depicted fighting, like Natsu and Gray. The opponent was Mirajane, and the two of them were at odds at the time. However, as time passed, the two became S-class wizards and no longer fought, and they began to watch over each other's daily life at the guild.

『FAIRY In Fairy Tail, various enemies appear, and Erza fights on the front lines alongside Natsu and friends. Her main fighting style is wearing armor, which she can freely take out from the magical space and switch between depending on the battle situation. She defeats various strong enemies with a magic called "The Knight," leading Fairy Tail to victory.

Erza owns over 100 types of armor, so many that even she seems unable to keep track of them all. There are many variations, such as armor specialized for attacks and armor that is resistant to certain attributes. Sometimes she wears maid and nurse uniforms that do not seem suitable for combat, but this is apparently due to Erza's hobby of cosplay.

Everyone in "Fairy Tail" recognizes Erza's strength and relies on her in times of emergency. In order to live up to her friends' expectations, she has fought many deadly battles with hostile forces in the story. She also sometimes becomes a shield to protect her friends, and fights for a place to return to. Everyone is attracted to her, not showing off her own strength, but using her power for the guild and her friends.

In Fairy Tail, Erza fights with firm conviction, and it is not uncommon for her companions to rise up in response to her feelings. Her leadership gives courage in desperate situations. Above all, she fights not for herself, but for her companions and the guild, and you can really feel how much Erza cares for her companions. She never abandons Natsu, who always causes trouble, so she can be said to be a motherly figure in Fairy Tail.

As a child, Erza lived as a slave in the Tower of Paradise, during which she suffered the misfortune of having her right eye gouged out. However, after joining Fairy Tail, Makarov arranged for her to have Porlyushka assimilated and have her make a prosthetic eye. This not only restored her eyesight, but also made it possible to nullify magic that affected her vision. However, if she looked with both eyes, only half of the magic would be affected, so she was depicted fighting with only her right eye open.

The prosthetic eye in her right eye allowed her to see the world as it was before, but she was unable to shed tears. However, after the incident at the Tower of Paradise, Erza was able to shed tears from her right eye again after facing her past and Jellal. Until then, Erza had acted strongly as the leader of the guild, but from then on, there were more scenes where she shed tears, which became memorable and touching scenes.
Erza's charm 9: Becoming the 7th master of "Fairy Tail"

Due to Makarov's schemes, Fairy Tail was temporarily disbanded, and Erza then worked with Jellal's Witch's Sin (Crimsol Ciel) to track down information about Zeref. When the guild was eventually rebuilt, she became the temporary 7th Master of Fairy Tail and did her best to rescue Makarov. It is clear that she is trusted by her comrades, and above all, she is acting for the sake of her benefactor, Makarov.

Erza has absolute trust in Makarov, who serves as the master of "Fairy Tail". He sees the guild members as "children" rather than companions, and even those who were enemies are welcomed with a generous heart, making him a person everyone adores. Erza feels a great debt of gratitude towards Makarov, who welcomed her warmly and helped her deal with the matter of her right eye prosthetic. With this background, she stands out for her faithful actions to protect the guild, in order to repay Makarov with all her might for what he has done for her.
Erza's charm 10: Relationship with Jellal

The last charm of Erza that I will introduce is her relationship with Jellal. They are friends who grew up in the same Tower of Paradise, and Erza is always by Jellal's side, such as when he lost his memory after fighting Jellal and when he was working as "Witch's Sin". They are attracted to each other, but they act while respecting each other's needs, and the way they move forward while suppressing their own feelings is somewhat sad.

Erza's family name is fake, and the name "Scarlet" was given to her by Jellal when she was in the Tower of Paradise. The name comes from Erza's beautiful scarlet hair color, and when she loses her memory after the Nirvana incident, she remembers at the last moment that she was his godmother. She herself treasures the name given to her by someone important to her, and this gives us a glimpse of her bond with Jellal.

『FAIRY In the final episode of "Fairy Tail", Jellal, who had committed a mortal sin, is granted a pardon and is able to live a life free from ties. Erza is also able to live a peaceful life, and is depicted as living as a woman, rather than as a strong female mage. Unlike Lucy, Erza never dressed fashionably, but after the battle, she starts to take care of her hair and gradually begins to behave more like a woman.
Summary

We have summarized Erza Scarlet, one of the strongest members of the Fairy Tail team. Everyone will find her cool, as she values discipline and order, and punishes even her friends without mercy. However, she also shows a feminine and cute side, so you will be fascinated by the gap between her battles and everyday life. Of course, Erza is cooler than anything else when she is fighting, and her actions for her friends and the guild are a must-see!
