Erza Scarlet

Erza Scarlet (エルザ・スカーレット, Eruza Sukāretto) is one of the female main protagonists of Fairy Tail. She is an S-Class swordswoman of Fairy Tail who is nicknamed as "Titania" for her notoriety as one of the guild's most powerful female wizards, referencing the Fairy Queen from A Midsummer Night's Dream. She uses magic called "The Knight" to instantaneously "requip"—exchange and equip—various weapons and armors that alter her already tremendous strength and magic ability.

Abandoned at infancy by her mother, Irene Belserion, Erza is enslaved at the Tower of Heaven at age 11 and befriends Jellal Fernandez, who gives her the surname "Scarlet" after her red hair. She first activates her magic power while leading a slave revolt, only to be betrayed by a brainwashed Jellal and forced to escape from the tower alone.

Her experiences lead her to join Fairy Tail and become a serious-minded but compassionate disciplinarian who temporarily becomes the guild's seventh master in Makarov Dreyar's absence when the guild is reformed one year after Tartaros's demise. Over the course of Fairy Tail, Erza grows fond of her friends during their adventures.
