Erza Scarlet - A Symbol of Women’s Strength (Character Analysis) (Kopie)
Erza Scarlet is easily among the top-most powerful female characters in the anime realm. The headstrong icon is not only loved by the masses for her strength but is also intensely swooned over for her killer looks. It is not often that we find such women in the anime world; she is known for their incredible strength – physical, and emotional.
In this review, we will go through an extensive analysis of what makes Erza who she is, and what exactly are the reasons behind her immense popularity.
Who really is Erza Scarlet
Fairy Tail’s most powerful wizard, Erza, is a 19-year-old, S-class mage. Hailed by her peers as Titania – Queen of the fairies throughout the kingdom, Erza’s impressive ability to requip into hundreds of different kinds of armors that allow her to enhance her excellent swordsmanship is one of the key reasons behind her undying fame.
Erza is a secondary female protagonist in the anime. Her bright red hair fitting for her fiery personality, sharp eyes, and metallic armor attire are some of her visible traits that complement her personality perfectly.
The guild’s disciplinarian
Known for her strict character, Erza is feared by most of her friends. Fixing rowdy behaviors around her, and resolving fights eventually become one of her unbreakable hobbies. Her deadly glares are enough of a threat to convince anyone to not invoke her unbeatable wrath. Despite her intimidating nature, Erza has not once misused her power. This honorable and brave woman is a strong advocate of justice and would risk anything for the safety and happiness of her loved ones.
A saddening past
Contrary to her apparent character, in the letter Lucy wrote to her mother, she described Erza as a cool, beautiful, warm and passionate person, who is often into girly and cute things. Then, what made Erza put on a tough façade and take on the responsibility of some of the most vital and dangerous jobs in the guild?
Erza is known to have very personal ties with the dragon slayers. She was abandoned in the alleys of Rosemary as a child by her mother, who, when turned into a dragon, was later saved by Zeref. She eventually ended up in a village that was attacked by a Zeref-following cult, got captured, and sent into slavery for building the Tower of Heaven. There she met Jellal and Rob, with whom she planned a failed rebellion, and ended up losing her right eye from punishment torture. Jellal saved her, and Erza successfully redeemed her life back after a second successful escape attempt. She joined the fairy Tail guild afterwards and met great people who showed her love and respect.
Erza had faced enough losses. The love she discovered in her newfound family was enough of a reason for her to toughen up, and make protecting her family her life's only purpose from now on.
Erza’s unmatched skills and abilities
Erza possesses great mastery over her signature form of magic, Requip – The Knight, which is a form of spatial magic and allows her to switch between hundreds of armors at unimaginable speeds. Her noteworthy sword magic allows her to use different kinds of sword attacks and achieve great offensive techniques. Telekinesis is also among Erza’s strong suits that enable her to lead attacks using multiple swords at once. Thanks to Wendy, Erza also learnt to make use of Natsu's and Grey’s magic on her swords through Enchantment. Alongside her abilities, Erza also possesses remarkable swordsmanship, intellect, strength, durability and magic power.
Conclusion
From the color of her hair to the tone of her voice, Erza’s character is undeniably impressively designed. Her strict nature will be quick to throw you off at first but eventually, you will come to discover her sweet and even comedic sides as she goes gorilla mode over her strawberry cake.
