Sorano Agria

Sorano Agria (ソラノ・アグリア Sorano Aguria), formerly known by the codename Angel (エンジェル Enjeru), is a practitioner of Angel Magic, as well as a former Celestial Spirit Mage. A member of the original Oración Seis, one of the most powerful Dark Guilds that once sought the destructive Magic Nirvana,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 131, Pages 18-20 she was among the few remaining members who formed the Reborn Oración Seis, and later joined Crime Sorcière along with her guildmates that formed the original Oración Seis. After the fall of Zeref and Acnologia, she later became a member of Sabertooth, joining her younger sister, Yukino Agria.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 5, Pages 3-6
==Appearance==
As stated by Yukino, Sorano was a beautiful young girl. She wore a dress which had white frills on the skirt and on the collar; a dark, short-sleeved blouse over the top of her dress; a light bow tied around her collar that fell upon her chest; and ribbons in her hair. She had light colored hair that reached just below her shoulders; the front portion was cut at about her nose level.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 303, Pages 8-9
Sorano is a young woman of relatively small stature with pale skin, brown eyes and short silvery hair, with bangs covering her forehead. As her codename suggests, Sorano's attire is evocative of the conventional image of an angel: she wears a short dress made up of white feathers with two feathery wings that hang from her back. The dress splits just above her navel and reveals much of her cleavage, becoming more reminiscent of a vest. The deep, revealing v-cut is lined by a row of long feathers on either side, thus continuing up her torso and wrapping around her shoulders to form a sort of collar; two wing-like tattoos can be found on her collarbone and her skirt is also partially split down the middle. Sorano wears a dark-blue ribbon around her head with four bows hanging from it, two on each side, that cover her ears. Her hair is cut in a short bob, with two tresses reaching over her hair ribbon to frame her face; a piece of hair at the top curls into a halo that rises conspicuously from her head. Sorano also wears long, dark blue gloves that cover her arms passed her elbows and knee-length, dark blue stockings with light blue, feathered boots.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 134, Page 6
As of X791, Sorano has become taller and her hair has grown much longer, reaching down to her back, and the tresses now reach down past her shoulders, however she still retains her blue hair ribbon, the angel wing tattoos, and the curl on the top of her hair. Her dress still has wings on the back of it, though they are smaller and jut straight out to either side, rather than hang from her back. Though more voluptuous than before, her clothing is more modest and, unlike her previous dress, Sorano's new attire is not entirely covered with feathers. Light blue fabric can be seen on either side of her waist; her feathered skirting is longer than before, reaching down to the backs of her lower legs, however, it is more open in the front, exposing her legs up to her lower thighs. The feathers taper off near her waist and continue in a single, narrow band up the middle of her torso and then split towards the top of her breasts, jutting out to either side; her shoulders are left uncovered. Instead of gloves, Sorano now wears long, wide, dark blue sleeves that are tied to her arms just below her shoulders by light blue ribbons. She has also replaced her boots and stockings with light blue, high-heeled shoes, leaving her lower legs bare. After being released from prison, Sorano is shown to return to her previous attire, retaining her long hair.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 364, Pages 19-22
As of X792, Sorano's hair ribbon now has feather-like arrangements on each side in place of bows. Her main outfit is now a bikini where the top has dark blue bands connecting the two white feathered cups on her breasts and reaching around her back, with a second band connecting the tops of those cups and reaching behind her neck. The white bottom piece has white feather-like clumps like her hair ribbon, and she wears heeled white sandals with blue platforms that include a feather band wrapped around each ankle. This outfit is complemented by a white feather choker around her neck, and one dark blue bracelet with a white clump on top worn on each wrist.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 305
==Personality==
According to Yukino, Sorano was initially a kind girl and was always supporting her little sister when their parents were scolding her.
Sometime between being abducted by Zeref's followers and acquiring her codename, Sorano, like the other members of the Oración Seis, became a cruel, sadistic, harsh and arrogant person who enjoys toying with her enemies. She does not think of her Spirits as living beings and is often seen treating them without much dignity.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 144, Pages 11-19 She expresses disgust at Lucy Heartfilia's compassion for her spirits. Ironically, her personality is the complete opposite of what an angel is despite her longing to be like one. That aside, Sorano also tends to behave more analytically than the average individual, preferring to have detailed information of her enemies before battling them.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 143, Pages 6-8 
In X791, Sorano reveals her dislike for the world, calling it filthy and only a place full of conflict. She goes as far as saying that living as a human is a sin, for she believes all humans to be impure; including herself. As a result, she has an obsession with angels (hence her alias), viewing them as beings of perfection. Her obsession with them is so great that she dreams of nothing but becoming an angel herself, and cares little of what will happen to her own life by using her lifespan to summon her angels, for she thinks she will become one if she does that. She has also expressed extreme displeasure towards anyone who speaks negatively about her dream, as shown when Gray mocked it, causing her to become angered. However, her opinion concerning the value of her life is overturned when she learns the true form of her magic, a revolting parasite growing from her lifespan, and Gray manages to convince her to survive for her own sake. As she desperately declares a desire to live, her wish is soon granted by the restoration of her lifespan thanks to Dan Straight's Habaraki.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 148 
Collectively, she, along with her guildmates, values freedom, unwilling to let anyone or anything compromise it. Sorano speaks of herself and her remaining guildmates as "us" and when she fights, she also does it for them, implying that she has a deeper bond with them than an average Dark Guild would normally have among their members. 
Sorano is also quite vain, complaining about how a cloak is unfashionable and bulky, prompting her to be chided by Meredy.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 416, Page 6 She appears to have a taste for skimpy and revealing clothing, choosing to wear a bikini to Zonia despite being aware of the snowy climate.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter Chapter 486, Page 11 Her lighter side seems to encompass a competitive streak: in the search for Nirvana, she suggests a competition and a prize to be awarded to the winner. 
After joining Crime Sorcière, Sorano displays a more carefree and rowdy disposition to the point where her companions are easily irritated by her presence (such as Erza and several Sabertooth members).Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 444, Page 11 She still maintains her more unethical tendencies, such as pulling on Lucy’s bikini to remind the latter that she killed Karen Lilica.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 444, Page 12 Despite this, Sorano is now more aware of her crimes and expresses feelings of shame for her past actions, even refusing to reconcile with Yukino as a result.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 493, Pages 12-15 However, after Hisui’s pardon and joining Sabertooth, Sorano shows extreme attachment to her little sister, showering Yukino with compliments and even embarrassing the latter. Rogue describes Sorano as “a bit noisy” although harmless.Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest Manga: Chapter 5, Page 5-6
==History==
Sorano always supported Yukino in her childhood as Yukino felt useless to her family and would always be scolded by her parents. However, one day, a group of Zeref's followers attacked her family. Her parents were killed and Sorano was captured. Her sister just barely managed to survive the attack.
After her capture by a Zeref-worshipping cult, Sorano ended up being one of the many slaves who was used to construct the Tower of Heaven, along with several other members of the Oración Seis, all of whom were children at the time. Sorano witnessed Erza Scarlet's attempted revolt and at that time she made her prayer that she would be able to fade into the sky as an angel. Later, she was recruited by Brain and left the island to join the Oración Seis, along with Macbeth, Richard, Erik and Sawyer.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 59 Her prayer to be an angel would serve as a link to Brain, and was used to contain his alternate personality: Zero; and is one of the six prayers for which the Oración Seis is named for.
Sorano eventually became a Celestial Spirit Mage and often wiped out other Celestial Spirit Mages to take their keys for herself, thereby increasing her power;Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 58 one such case was the killing of Blue Pegasus' Karen Lilica, after which Sorano took her keys, most notably the key to Aries.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 144, Pages 2-3
==Synopsis==
===Oración Seis arc===
Angel corners Blue Pegasus member Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki and knocks him unconscious as he uses the bathroom before using Gemini to copy the man's appearance and memories. In copying Ichiya, Angel learns that the Allied Forces are planning on trapping the Oración Seis in their base and wiping them out with the Magic Bomber: Christina. Once she finds this out, Angel ends up using Gemini to subdue Jura Neekis, effectively removing their most powerful fighter from the battle.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 133, Pages 15-20
She then rejoins the rest of the Oración Seis after they intercept and destroy Christina. Angel taunts the alliance, stating that the Oración Seis saw through their entire plan before it even began; the group of six engages the Allied Forces in combat, wherein Angel uses Gemini to copy and defeat both Lucy Heartfilia and Gray Fullbuster.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 134, Pages 9-18
When Brain stops his casting of Dark Rondo on the Allied Forces, Angel questions him on this, but the man then proceeds to identify and capture Wendy Marvell. After Brain finishes casting his spell, the Oración Seis leaves.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 135, Pages 1-9 Later, in the cave that serves as their headquarters, Angel expresses her doubt that Wendy's capture has much to do with Nirvana, but Brain tells his fellow guildmates that Wendy is a practitioner of Sky Magic, much to Angel's surprise. After Brain expresses his desire to revive Jellal Fernandes, Angel, Hoteye and Cobra are ordered to look for Nirvana in case his new plan does not work out. Angel suggests to her guildmates that they make finding Nirvana a race; before she can state what she thinks the prize should be, Hoteye interrupts, suggesting that the winner receive one million Jewels, an amount Angel finds outlandish.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 136, Pages 2-6
Before setting out, Angel instructs members of one of the Dark Guilds that report to the Oración Seis to recapture Ichiya of Blue Pegasus so she can retrieve more information from him.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 137, Page 15 She continues her search and later stands in awe of Nirvana's power after Jellal activates it.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 141, Page 1 Despite her guild's goal have been met, Angel does not immediately regroup with the rest of the Oración Seis as she encounters members of the Allied Forces. She uses Gemini to transform into Gray Fullbuster, whose appearance, memories and abilities Gemini had previously copied and stored. Using this appearance, Angel uses Gemini as bait to lure in Natsu Dragneel, as well as do battle with several other alliance members.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 143, Pages 2-11
Angel then reveals herself and tells Gemini to cease their attack, explaining that Wendy is no longer a priority for the Oración Seis, as her role in reviving Jellal is over. After explaining Gemini's powers to Lucy and identifying herself as a fellow Celestial Spirit Mage to Lucy, Angel tells Lucy that she likes her keys, and that she will wipe her out and take them. Lucy quickly summons Aquarius to attack Angel, but, knowing that one of her spirits, Scorpio, is Aquarius' boyfriend, Angel closes Gemini's gate and summons him to distract Aquarius. Lucy is shocked by this, and Angel criticizes her for not knowing the relationship between her own Celestial Spirits before kicking Lucy in the head. After Lucy summons Loke, Angel critiques Lucy yet again, explaining that the most important part of being a Celestial Spirit Mage is understanding the relationships of Spirits. She then proceeds to summon Aries, knowing that she is a very close friend of Loke, as they were both formerly contracted to Karen Lilica, whom Angel had killed.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 143, Pages 12-20
Lucy demands to know how Angel came to possess one of Karen's former spirits, and Angel reveals that it was her who killed Karen and took her keys, much to the shock of Lucy, Loke and Hibiki. Much to Angel's surprise, Loke insists on staying and fighting Aries; while Angel had not planned on using Aries to fight, only to force Loke to back down, she finds the situation amusing and allows them to do as they please. However, noticing that Loke is gaining an advantage over Aries, Angel summons Caelum: The Chisel.
Angel orders Caelum to target Loke and wait until Aries stops his movement before firing, ultimately watching as the Spirit fires a blast that incapacitates both of them, which Angel laughs at. Angel then proceeds to counter Lucy's beratement by stating that Spirits can't die, making their pain is irrelevant. When Lucy angrily summons Taurus, Angel re-summons Gemini and uses Lucy's form to stop Taurus' assault and defeat him.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 144, Pages 2-8
As Gemini brutalizes Lucy, Angel laughs at her, however when Lucy remains determined, Angel expresses her scorn at the girl; when Lucy demands that Angel release Aries from her contract, Angel becomes surprised, but then orders Gemini to beat Lucy more, saying that her method of asking for favors is flawed. As Lucy bows her head and pleads for Angel to release Aries once more, Angel states that in place of her keys, Lucy's life will be the price and orders Gemini to kill her. However, when Gemini refuses to kill Lucy, Angel forces their gate closed and calls them useless.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 144, Pages 8-14
Just then, Hibiki appears behind Lucy and begins to strangle her, which causes Angel to laugh at the "ironic" turn of events, until, that is, Hibiki reveals that he was actually transferring a high-level Magic to Lucy: Urano Metria. Realizing that she has been tricked, Angel attempts to kill Lucy with Caelum, but she is stopped and defeated by the powerful spell, and falls into the nearby river; defeated.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 144, Pages 14-20
However, despite sustaining heavy injuries, Angel rises to her feet and tries once more to kill Lucy with Caelum. The shot, however, veers around Lucy, missing her entirely. Aghast, Angel reluctantly succumbs to her wounds, utterly exhausted, and falls into the river. As she does so, she releases her prayer to fade into the sky like an angel, then reacts crossly when she actually falls into water.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 145, Pages 2-5
Meanwhile, when Brain feels her defeat via his Six Prayers and assumes her to be dead, Angel senses this as she drifts downstream and dryly retorts that she is still alive.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 145, Page 7 Angel is later arrested by the Rune Knights after the Oración Seis is defeated by the Allied Forces, thus breaking her contracts with her Spirits and forfeiting her keys, after which all of them, sans Caelum, voluntarily contract themselves to Lucy.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 165, Page 5
===Key of The Starry Sky arc===
Seven years later, during the fight between Natsu Dragneel and Byro Cracy, the five parts of the Infinity Clock begin to resonate before spontaneously combining. After the dust settles, the Reborn Oración Seis appear.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 139
thumb|left|200px|Dan Straight asks Angel for her name
Angel watches as the members of Fairy Tail and the Legion Corps are baffled by their appearance. After the reborn Dark Guild places their mark on the Infinity Clock, Lucy complains that they stole it, which prompts Angel to explain that "people of the darkness" such as herself and her guild would be incapable of touching the pieces of the clock, so they manipulated Fairy Tail and the Legion Corps into assembling the clock on their behalf. After Cobra claims that they are wasting their time, Angel reminds Midnight that they have a "grand aim," which Midnight concedes to. Then, when Cobra and Racer defeat the foes before them, Dan Straight attempts to face off against the whole group; Angel chides him for being so dull-witted, but Dan is immediately overwhelmed by his attraction for her and takes her hand, asking her name. Uncomfortable, Angel reluctantly identifies herself, but then tells Dan that she dislikes men who are too straight-forward.
When Angel points out that the Oración Seis was obviously much more powerful than their foes, Cobra again repeats that they are wasting their time; Midnight instructs Angel to wipe Fairy Tail and Legion out altogether, which she agrees to, promptly using her Magic Coins to trigger her new Angel Magic. As she does so, she taunts Lucy Heartfilia, claiming that when they first fought, Angel was only a child, and that now Lucy's Spirits could not stand up to an angel like herself. Angel proclaims that she will show them all her "beautiful Angel Magic," but that prior to this, people would grovel before her, with despair, and sacrifice their lives. With this, Angel summons Barakiel, who destroys the entire building in a brilliant flash of light, after which the Reborn Oración Seis leaves with the Infinity Clock.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 140
Later, Angel is with the rest of the Oración Seis in their base with the apprehended Infinity Clock. Knowing that the clock is still incomplete, Midnight orders the other members of the Reborn Oración Seis to roam the country, destroying Zentopia churches and searching for disciples of Will Neville to activate the Anti-Link amplitude limiter. Overlooking a town from a hill, the group sees that the Fiore Knights guarding the church nearby are unaware of their presence; Angel states that they should split up to complete their work faster, and tells a confused Erigor that his memory means nothing, and that he needs only to fulfill his duty as a member of the Dark Guild.
Angel goes with Cobra to attack one of the town's churches and as explosions engulf it, the knights take notice of the duo's presence and prepare to defend the church. Angel tells them that unattractive men cost 20 and summons the Hammer Angel, which wipes them out. When they finish up, Angel remarks that she finds these attacks distasteful, to which Cobra replies that there is no such thing as "tasteful" on the path they follow. He asks her if she took care of the Anti-Link, and she says that she did and that he's a cold man as always, but she likes that about him. Cobra responds, claiming that all he needs is Cubellios and that once he finds her he'll kill her, granting him a certain "power," according to Angel. Cobra elaborates, stating that the misery he feels is a driving force that gives him power and that, until the world ends, the pain in his chest will not disappear. Angel agrees, saying that in order to achieve their objectives, the Reborn Oración Seis will convert anything into power, including their failures, frustrations and years of being humiliated. Later, during another attack, Cobra replies that there was only one disciple on the land, "the one from before." Angel states that they'll have to rely on information to locate the last disciple, since blindly attacking churches is no longer an effective strategy. Cobra says that "she" should be brought before him, but Angel rebukes him, stating that that isn't their job.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 141
Angel later appears in a crystal cave, searching for a disciple of Will Neville so that she can activate the Anti-Link, where she encounters Fried Justine and Gray Fullbuster. Unfortunately for Angel, Dan Straight also reveals himself and claims that he is now devoted to her; she asserts that she hates clingy men, clearly annoyed. Fried, however, is confused, and asks if Dan is also one of the Six Generals, to which both Gray and Angel indignantly reply that he is not. Gray then asks Angel where the Oración Seis is keeping the Infinity Clock, to which she replies that this is a stupid question and summons Shamsiel, who proceeds to fight the trio, though Dan is quickly knocked out of the fight within seconds.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 143
Shamsiel proves completely resilient to the remaining duo's attacks, and effortlessly defeats them. Angel then sends Shamsiel to find the Celestial Spirit Mage and capture him. Shamsiel brings the disciple to her, and Angel triggers the Anti-Link, sealing his body in a hundred-year stasis. Angel says that only two more Mages remain and that her Guild's plan is almost complete, a prospect which prompts her to laugh darkly.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 144
Later, Angel links up with the Reborn Oración Seis on board the Infinity Castle. Midnight senses that Fairy Tail is attempting to attack the clock to save Lucy,Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 146 who was captured by Byro, under orders from the Reborn Oración Seis' secret sixth member, Imitatia; he orders Cobra and Angel to stop them. She confronts Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Elfman and some others in the Infinity Castle's conservatory. Seeing that Gray has elected to fight her, Angel finds the prospect of a rematch boring, though Gray, however, promises that he will make things interesting for her.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 147
Angel opens the battle by summoning Shamsiel but Gray defeats it by using an ice decoy. Shamsiel's defeat causes Angel physical pain, which makes her lose her balance and fall off the tower she was standing on. Gray confronts her with his Ice-Make: Death Scythe, telling her that she's lost, and Angel pleads Gray to kill her, so that she can become an angel and go to heaven. Gray is surprised by this and refuses outright, destroying his scythe and telling her not to say anything crazy. Angel smiles grimly, telling him that if her wish to fade into the sky as an angel cannot come true, she will instead destroy him.
With this, Angel summons Barakiel, who easily obliterates Gray's defenses, but Dan comes in and saves him. Dan flirts with her, but she ignores him and instructs Barakiel to destroy them both; Dan defeats Barakiel, causing Angel immense pain once again. Dan then flirts with her once again but she pushes him off a ledge, telling him that she is disgusted. Desperate to destroy her enemies, Angel jumps to cost 100 to summon Raguel, after which Dan professes that he would die for Angel's sake, but she tells him that she would rather leave him wounded and has Raguel knock him unconscious. Gray criticizes Angel for acting superior to Dan and disdains her desire to disappear; Angel answers that she is an angel, but clarifies that she is a girl who wants to be an angel. After explaining her reasons for wanting to become an angel, Angel tells Gray that her Magic shortens her lifespan, but that this is a necessary sacrifice in order for her to become an angel and that Angel Magic has shown her the true ugliness of the human world.
Gray tells Angel that she may be alive, but inside she is already dead because she has sealed off her heart. Angel, filled with rage at having her pure wish mocked by Gray, commands Raguel to destroy him once and for all. Raguel explodes into a formless blob that attempts to absorb both Angel and Gray, but Gray protects Angel, telling her that her "angel" is not an angel at all and that he doesn't want her to disappear. When Angel finally decides that she wants to live, Gray destroys the blob and Dan throws his lance at her chest, destroying the parasite and restoring the life force used up by her Magic. Angel asks why they would do this for an enemy, and Gray merely says that he wouldn't like to see her die. Angel then finally accepts that she has lost. After admitting she lost, Angel rests with Dan.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 149
Later, after Midnight is defeated and the Infinity Clock is once more separated, Angel is apprehended by the Magic Council along with all the other members of the original Oración Seis and is taken back to prison.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 150
===Tartaros arc===
Angel, alongside the rest of the Oración Seis, is released from prison by Cobra. As they stand out in the wilderness, Angel remarks upon Cobra's comment about the air. She watches quietly, yet looking somewhat worried, as Brain is struck down by Cobra. Discussing what they should do next, with Angel wanting to take a shower, Cobra informs them of the arrival of their first job as Jellal and Meredy approach the group. When Meredy offers to help but Jellal tells her that he will suffice against the revived Dark Guild members, Angel comments on his rudeness. As they prepare to face off against Jellal, Angel notices Hoteye's easygoing nature and wonders if he is still under Nirvana's effects, but he tells her that this is his true personality.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 365, Pages 17-18 She proceeds to attack Jellal with an unnamed Angel Magic spell, but after he calls her by her real name, he proceeds to evade her attack with ease, much to Angel's disappointment.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 365, Pages 22-23 After the fight drags on for a while, Angel mentions that now she is done warming up.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 365, Page 27
The fight continues, with Angel downing Jellal with her Angel Magic. As her teammates also attack Jellal, Angel yells out that no chains bind them anymore. However, Jellal lands a hit on Racer and states that their freedom is fake, intending to get rid of their darkness, much the surprise of Angel and others.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 367, Pages 8-13 Angel then, however, bears witness to a fully rejuvenated Zero interrupt Jellal's claim to be able to free the Oración Seis by defeating them by attacking him with his Magic, shocking her.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 368, Pages 15-17 Seeing Jellal fall to the ground and Zero ferociously attack him further, Angel watches on, quietly commenting on the fact that Zero has made Jellal completely disappear. However, it is revealed soon after that what Angel was actually viewing was an illusion created by Midnight, as Jellal, figuring out the ploy, manages to break free from the Magic by maiming his own eyes. Seeing him break free of the spell, Angel's eyes are cast to her surroundings, where huge pillars of light begin to form. Before she can react, both she, Racer, Midnight and Cobra are all struck with Grand Chariot. Downed, Angel has no time to react as Jellal continues his advance, casting Sema and completely defeating her and her friends. From the ground, a battered Angel asks Jellal if he intends to return them to prison, becoming shocked when the man replies that he wants them to join his Independent Guild and help him take down Zeref.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 369, Pages 2-14
After their strife with Jellal, Sorano and the other members are seen following the Crime Sorcière Mages, with the angelic Mage speaks of the little to no tension that is present. Later as the Mages rest, Sorano comments that Jellal's goal of defeating Zeref is very ambitious and admits to Erik that his comments on hearing the screams of people are scaring her.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 245
A while later, Sorano and the other Oración Seis convene at a deserted village. Sawyer goes back and forth with her from the suggestion she made on the rain and their next motives, leading the former to question why they should follow Jellal and his objectives, with Sorano acknowledging that she is willingly going to follow Jellal, which garners disapproval from Sawyer. Nevertheless, Sorano states she made up her mind on following Jellal, looking towards Erik afterwards wondering what he's laughing about. Erik points out he heard a voice which turns out to be Rustyrose; Sorano running towards the latter to engage him, recognizing he is one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory. The Dark Mages surround him as they force him to him to talk of the events that he encountered while at Tartaros. The latter talks, later leaving after telling the Mages of an existing evil lying behind the demonic guild; Sorano stating in between that if this was some misadventure he had that it isn't interesting. Jellal meets up with Sorano and the others, declaring that they are going to Tartaros to prevent the Demons from accomplishing their goal, but Macbeth declines stating they won't break the pact between the Balam Alliance, with Jellal continuing anyway, mentioning that they'll meet again one day.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 246
Sorano and the other Oración Seis members are seen walking through a wasteland, as Jellal describes Sorano's prayer to Meredy of wanting to become an angel. Erik shrugs listening to the conversation, with Sorano relaying that he is very shy, garnering retaliation from the Dragon Slayer. Later the Mages save Jellal from Rustyrose's attack, with all of them agreeing to follow the former and take down Zeref.
Along their journey to Magnolia, Sorano and the others follow Jellal in a hurry amidst the Dragons destroying the Faces.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 263
Note: End of anime only section.
A week after her defeat, Sorano walks along with Jellal's group through Magnolia, complaining about the robes that Crime Sorcière wear, for which Meredy reprimands her.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 416, Page 19
===Alvarez arc===
A year after joining Crime Sorcière, Sorano meets with the members of Fairy Tail aboard her moving temple, Olympia. She turns her chair around and introduces herself as captain of the ship. The Fairy Tail Mages are surprised to see her and Happy makes the connection that she is the spy they were told to meet, which she confirms. The other members of the guild then piece together that her cover was blown, and so she came to Caracole Island to hide and because of that the island is now gone; causing her to yell that it took her everything she had to escape. She then states she owes Mest a favor, but adds that they are not comrades. Lucy thanks her, calling her Angel at first before correcting herself, referring to her by her birth name instead. Sorano grabs Lucy's bikini top and pulls it towards her. She tells Lucy she is the one that killed Karen Lilica and that she should not forget that. Erza tells her it's enough and Sorano releases Lucy. As a motion-sick Natsu and Wendy ask where they are going, Sorano states they are headed to where Makarov is. Everyone expresses their shock over her knowing Makarov's location as she slyly asks how they like her now.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 444, Pages 10-13 Later after the rescue mission was a success, Sorano relays to Mest that she was waiting for them to arrive, annoyed that they took a different method to escape.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 448, Page 4
Later, Sorano and her comrades arrive in the north, at Zonia, to assist in the war against the Alvarez Empire; Sorano wonders aloud why Zonia has no snow, prompting Sawyer to ask her why she wore a bikini to a cold climate in the first place.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 486, Page 6 Before she and her comrades can do anything, however, Sorano is caught in the light of Irene Belserion's Universe OneFairy Tail Manga: Chapter 489, Page 17 and is warped to a new location.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 490, Page 13
Her new location turns out to be a forest, and as she walks, Sorano eventually happens upon Elfman, Lector, Frosch and her sister Yukino, the latter of whom she is shocked to see.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 492, Pages 10-11 The reunion quickly proves itself to be awkward, with Sorano declaring that she has no little sister, and that Yukino is mistaking her for someone else. Angered by Sorano's attitude, Yukino pours her heart out to her sister, even revealing that she tried to turn back time to get her back, and upon being questioned about her cruel words, Sorano reveals that her honest little sister doesn't need a felon who has committed terrible crimes as an older sibling. Then, when Sorano tearfully says that when her sins are atoned for she will come back for Yukino, Yukino asks if that is a promise, something which Sorano affirms.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 493, Pages 10-14 Before long, Sorano and her group arrive at the Fairy Tail Guild to assist in the battle against Alvarez.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 495, Page 14 A bit later, as the newly arrived Rogue and Minerva attack the advancing Bloodman and Wall, Sorano swoons over Sabertooth's valiant fight to protect a guild that is not their own, much to Yukino's embarrassment.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 496, Page 13
As the battle rages on, Irene, in search of a runaway Mavis, projects her voice from an eye in the sky, the volume of which hurts Sorano's ears.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 504, Page 16 Later, Angel tells Yukino not to call her a sister when Yukino does so whilst admiring the sheer number of enemies defeated by Makarov's Fairy Law. In the midst of celebrating, however, Larcade appears and Angel remarks that he must be foolish to think he could defeat both her and Yukino at once, but she is quickly incapacitated by his Magic.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 508, Pages 4-8 Sorano remains asleep right up through Larcade's defeat at Sting's hands, wherein she has audible lewd dreams that embarrasses her little sister.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 513, Page 4
===Water Dragon God arc===
Sorano meets with Jellal, who is inquiring about Touka, alongside her guildmates. Sorano has no information about her, but comments that Touka is cute after seeing a picture of her. When she and her guildmates head to Fairy Tail Headquarters, she notes that the guild being empty is suspicious.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 23, Pages 19-20 
===Gold Owl arc===
Sorano is reading a book in the guild library and tells the recently-arrived Team Natsu to follow library etiquette after they start becoming noisy. She is confused by Jellal's absence, as she had summoned him with the intention of sharing intel of both his and Team Natsu's interest. After Jellal arrives, she joins him, Sting, and Erza in another room. She initially teases them about their relationship before briefly flirting with Sting. Changing topics, she recalls that Jellal was originally searching for Touka, and after Jellal recounts his encounter with her, he brings up Rebellious, which Touka infiltrated. Sorano interjects, saying she has a lead on the organization, but Jellal's apparent lack of interest causes her to become upset. She tells them after Jellal "begs" for her intel, directing them to Gold Owl where the true White Wizard Athena resided.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 125

Angel Coins: The coins that Sorano uses in order to use Angel Magic. On one side they each have a wing-like symbol, identical to the tattoos on her collarbone. Each coin is equivalent to a "cost" of 10, which has an unspecified link to the amount of time left in her life. Continued usage of this Magic will, as a result, shorten her life, though the cumulative amount she had used up was "refunded" by Dan Straight. Sorano uses these coins to summon angels; more coins will summon a proportionately stronger angel. The strongest to be summoned was Raguel, through the use of ten coins, a cost of 100.
