Aquarius

Aquarius (アクエリアス Akueriasu), "The Water Bearer" (宝瓶宮 Hōheikyū), is a Celestial Spirit that is one of the 12 Golden Zodiac Keys. She is Scorpio's girlfriend. Her key was owned by Lucy Heartfilia until she sacrificed it in order to summon the Celestial Spirit King.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 384, Pages 21-24 Nevertheless, Lucy still owns a part of her original key.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 416, Page 1 Later on, Lucy regained possession of her key again after finding it in Guiltina.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 170, Pages 11-15
==Appearance==
Aquarius resembles a royal blue mermaid. She has a long, blue fish-tail, light blue hair that reaches up to her waist, and a large bust. She has blue eyes that seem to have no pupils. Aquarius wears a revealing dark blue bikini top and on each arm, she has a golden armlet and bracelet. Aquarius also has a circlet, three piercings on her tail, and a golden belt at her waist and light blue crystal earrings. A dark blue tattoo resembling the Aquarius zodiac symbol rests right under her collarbone. Aquarius also wields an urn that acts as the basis of the Water Magic she employs in battle. This design reflects her respective zodiac sign; "Aquarius" is often depicted as a merman or mermaid carrying a vessel from which a pouring stream of water emerges.
As a swimming instructor, she takes a complete human form.
==Personality==
Aquarius is a moody and ill-tempered Celestial Spirit who often threatens to kill her owner, Lucy. While other Celestial Spirits serve Lucy obediently, Aquarius is irritated by her. When summoned, Aquarius will either attack the opponent, Lucy, or both of them, depending on her mood.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 204, Pages 10-11 Despite this, Aquarius does care for Lucy's well-being.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 384 Pages 1-22 She is very kind and loving towards her boyfriend, Scorpio, to whom she shows a completely different side of herself. Additionally, she threatens Lucy to keep quiet about her moodiness in front of Scorpio, lest Lucy become a "drowned corpse."Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 143, Page 17 When Lucy is in her presence, Aquarius tends to make remarks about having a boyfriend since Lucy doesn't have one.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 88, Page 1 As time progresses, however, Aquarius' attitude toward Lucy becomes more lenient.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 182, Page 18
==History==
Aquarius' previous master had been Lucy's mother, Layla Heartfilia. When Layla retired from her work as a Mage because of her health problems, she entrusted Aquarius' Key to another Mage with instructions to present it to Lucy if she chose to be a Celestial Spirit Mage.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 224, Page 17 Aquarius' key was the first key that Lucy ever received.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 384, Page 18 Because there weren't any other children to play with, Lucy would summon Aquarius as a playmate. This greatly infuriated Aquarius, however, learning why Lucy summoned her, the Celestial Spirit couldn't help but feel bad for the girl.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 204
==Synopsis==

As Natsu Dragneel fights Bora, Lucy summons Aquarius to haul Bora's ship, which is full of kidnapped girls about to be sold into slavery, towards the harbor.

After doing her job (and purposely washing Lucy ashore as well), she states her desire to not be bothered for a week as her boyfriend is taking her on a vacation. Before she leaves, she informs Lucy that she has a boyfriend whereas Lucy does not.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 1, Page 46-51
===Sub-Zero Emperor Lyon arc===
Aquarius is called forth once more when Lucy battles Sherry, to deal with Sherry's Doll Attack. Sherry notes that Aquarius is a powerful Spirit so she gains control of Aquarius. However, Aquarius attacks Sherry along with Lucy because she does not like being controlled. Before leaving, Aquarius berates Lucy's personality, claiming that it is the reason the latter hasn't and will never get a boyfriend like she has.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 34, Pages 8-14

Aquarius attacks everyone as Juvia and Lucy join hands to use Unison Raid. After defeating Vidaldus with both attacks, Aquarius mouths off at Lucy, saying that Lucy should not summon her in such a strange place again, or Aquarius will kill her. She even comments if Lucy will ever summon her from a toilet bowl next time. She leaves again, saying not to summon her for two weeks and tells Lucy to get a boyfriend as usual.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 87, Pages 13-20
===Oración Seis arc===
Lucy summons Aquarius in her battle against Angel, since the battle is taking place at a river. Desperate to defeat Angel, Lucy tells Aquarius that the Spirit is free to do anything, including attacking Lucy as well, as long as Angel is defeated. Aquarius agrees, but is quickly removed from the battle when Angel summons Scorpio, who is revealed to be Aquarius' boyfriend—a fact that Angel was aware of, but Lucy was not. Aquarius threatens Lucy not to say a word about her usual ill-tempered behavior to her boyfriend, or Lucy shall suffer the consequences. The two Celestial Spirits then go off on a date with Angel's permission, much to Lucy's chagrin.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 143, Pages 15-17

===Tenrou Island arc===
While fighting Fried Justine and Bickslow, Cana Alberona uses The Prayer's Fountain card, which gives Lucy an opportunity to summon Aquarius. She angrily wave-slashes everyone as usual. However, Aquarius doesn't pick on Lucy but chooses to bicker with Cana instead, saying that all women are her enemies and that just being 'firm and bouncy' doesn't count as 'justice'. Aquarius also deems zero points for Cana as a woman. Through this argument, Lucy takes note of how similar Cana and Aquarius are.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 204, Pages 9-13

===Grand Magic Games arc===
Aquarius surprises Lucy and her friends when Virgo brings them to the Celestial Spirit World for a welcome back party. During the party, Aquarius talks to Juvia, noting that Juvia was the one who once used Unison Raid with Lucy when they fought Vidaldus. Aquarius then asks her if she has a boyfriend, causing Juvia to blush and say no to her, which Aquarius concludes that she would become like Lucy. During the entire party, Aquarius accompanies Juvia and holds hands with her during the group's departure, signaling the start of a good friendship.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 262, Pages 8-17
On the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games, Aquarius is summoned within a giant water sphere by Lucy during the Naval Battle event, declaring the water to be her playground as she prepares to attack. However, Juvia Lockser uses a spell in the water that creates a whirlpool-like effect, surprising Aquarius as she notes that Juvia's abilities are on par with her own. Observing the happenings, Aquarius declares her intentions to leave, stating that the battle won't end well. Despite Lucy telling her she's the one she can most count on in the water, Aquarius blushes and tells Lucy that she has a date and leaves, much to her summoner's annoyance.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 291, Pages 5-9
Later on, after Uosuke defeats Pisces by using Terrain Effect: Whirlpool Zone, Lucy takes this chance to summon Aquarius.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 310, Page 10 Aquarius then uses her Water Pillar spell to send Uosuke spinning through a wall.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 310, Page 18 On July 7, the Eclipse Gate is opened and in order to seal it and stop the inflow of Dragons, Lucy and Yukino summon all 12 zodiac spirits, with Aquarius among them. Aquarius is encased in an aura of Magic and flies with the other 11 spirits to the gate. Despite the attempts of the Dragons to get through, Aquarius and the other spirits, through their hard work, are successful in forcing the gate to close and repelling their attempted invasion.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 328, Pages 6-9
===Eclipse Celestial Spirit arc===
Note: Events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
===Tartaros arc===
After the events that transpired during the Dragon invasion, Lucy and her comrades confront the Demons of Tartaros. However, Underworld King Mard Geer uses his Curse to trap everyone within Cube, leaving Lucy as the sole human walking about. Eventually, Lucy is cornered by Jackal's explosive Curse while riding waves, promoting the former to summon Aquarius with the water in the vicinity. With three spirits summoned simultaneously, Lucy falls into the water as she begs them to defeat the Demons. Aquarius can only comment on Lucy's foolish actions.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 383, Page 19
Telling Lucy to stay back, Aquarius instantly springs into action, using her urn to summon a huge whirlpool of water that catches up Jackal, Lamy and Torafuzar. As Virgo and Loke scream for Lucy to close one of the gates, Torafuzar catches Aquarius off-guard by revealing that he can easily maneuver in the water, rushing at her and slicing her open with his blade-like forearms. With Jackal concurrently blasting away Virgo and Loke, Lucy is left completely defenseless, and, abandoned and bleeding on the ground, Aquarius can only watch as the three Demons approach and begin to assault her owner. However, as Jackal moves to blow Lucy up for good, Aquarius hastily pulls herself up and rushes to the Celestial Spirit Mage's aid, grabbing her and using a torrent of water to push Jackal back. Commenting that she knows none of Lucy's Spirits have the power to defeat the Tartaros members, Aquarius states that she still believes there is a way they can win: Lucy must summon the Celestial Spirit King. When Lucy questions how this is possible when the Celestial Spirit King has no key, Aquarius explains that there is only one technique for calling him: Lucy must use a substitution method by breaking one of the golden zodiac keys she has a close bond with. Shocked, Lucy cries that she would never do such a thing, though Aquarius ignores her, telling the Mage to break her key. Aquarius adds that breaking the key won't kill her, but will merely make her unable to leave the Spirit World. When Lucy refuses once again, Aquarius states that she always hated her and only put up with her because of a deep respect for Layla. Commenting that she won't miss being summoned, Aquarius screams for Lucy to step up and save her friends, and, with no other choice, Lucy tearfully raises her key. As Lucy calls forth the Celestial Spirit King and shatters the mermaid's key, Aquarius begins to weep, silently stating that though she hates Lucy, she will be sad to never meet her again. With her contract ended, she thanks Lucy for everything and returns to the Celestial Spirit World.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 384, Pages 1-22
===Alvarez Arc===
A year later, Aquarius reappears (of her own accord) from a spilled vase of water, saving Lucy from the wrath of Brandish μ of the Spriggan 12 after hearing about a potential past conflict between Grammi, the caretaker of her key and Brandish's mother, and Layla, who supposedly murdered Grammi to get her key back.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 467, Pages 22-23
Aquarius then proceeds to happily embrace Lucy, and explains that another Water Bearer key has surfaced somewhere in the world, and that the Celestial Spirit King opened her gate temporarily, which allowed her to save her. She then turns to Brandish, and Aquarius comically reunites with her as well, after explaining to Lucy that Grammi did indeed have her key. Aquarius goes on to tell Brandish that Lucy should not be condemned for Layla's sins, as well as that Layla never killed Grammi; she takes the two to Star Memory: an essential record of the memories of all Celestial Spirits. While inside, she shows the two the plot between Zeref and Anna Heartfilia, Lucy's ancestor, to send five warriors to the future to defeat Acnologia. She then reveals that Layla opened the Eclipse Gate four hundred years later to ensure that the Eclipse Gate functioned properly, adding that if an entrance and an exit aren't tended to, then the Grand Magic Games scenario could occur. However, Aquarius also reveals that Layla could not contact Grammi, who had her key, and thus could not assemble all twelve Zodiac Keys to open Eclipse, and thus supplemented her key with her life force. Such an act put Layla on her death bed, and after watching Grammi reunite with Layla and return her key, the girls all bear witness to Zoldeo kill Grammi. As Lucy consoles a distraught Brandish, Aquarius tries to tell her one last important thing, but then Happy bursts through the front door, asking for someone to help Natsu, who has stopped moving all of a sudden.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 468, Pages 2-20
Aquarius then watches as Cana and Porlyusica enter the infirmary, where she diverts Cana's question as to why she is there. The Celestial Spirit then listens as Porlyusica diagnoses Natsu with a malignant Anti-Ethernano Tumor that will kill him if it is not promptly removed, remarking that no surgeon in Ishgar can remove it, and that Wendy and Sherria can do nothing about it either. Then, when Brandish offers to shrink the tumor for them with her Magic, Aquarius smiles at the young woman.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 469, Pages 2-6 After Brandish is returned to her cell, Aquarius comes to get Lucy, but tells Brandish that she hopes their paths cross again; when she doesn't get an answer, Aquarius yells at her and gets the reply she desires. After, she and Lucy venture to a balcony, where Aquarius mentions that her key could be on any one of the continents of the world, but that she won't tell her where specifically it is. Before disappearing, Aquarius tells Lucy that she looks forward to the day where she finds her key.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 469, Pages 10-12
===Moon Dragon God arc===
Later, Aquarius appears again on her own accord, manifesting in Elentear to intervene in Natsu's fight with Lucy (who had been transformed into a Nure-Onna), criticizing Natsu for using his Lightning Fire Dragon Mode, noting such power would likely severely hurt Lucy, while promising to handle the latter herself.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 74, Pages 19-20
