## **General Information**

**Rosemary Irene Fernandes** is an S-class mage of Fairy Tail and one of the deutoragonists. She is the daughter of Erza and Jellal and the younger sister of Reiki Fernandes. She is an advanced user of Requip. Currently, she is a member of Team Trials along with Luke Dragneel, and Jay Fullbuster. In X820 she won all three trials of Fairy Tail's First Annual Grand Magic Games Tryouts. She was then selected to be a member of the Grand Magic Games team. Whether or not she was going to be selected prior to Ozzy's interference is unclear, however very likely.

## **Appearance**

Rosemary is a young woman of average height. At only sixteen she has a voluptuous body. She inherited Erza's scarlet hair and brown eyes.

Due to her magic, she wears multiple outfits, however, she is always sporting a large bow. It is normally white in color but changes depending on the armor used. The bow strong yet silky and can hold her heavy hair back in a half-ponytail without falling out.

Recently, she has opted for a low ponytail, as that was more grown-up.

Her regular outfit is a blue dress with a matching skirt that has darker blue flaps over it. She picked this specific color out because it matched her father's old fur coat. She also wears dark, knee-high boots.

Her outfit changes for the week of the X820 Grand Magic Games. She wears a dark red, sleeveless dress. Underneath the dress are dark capris tucked into brown, knee-high boots. Her hair remains in the low ponytail with her white bow holding it back. Her bangs have also changed to being parted in the middle rather than swept to one side or the other.

Her blue guild mark is on her left arm in the same place as her mother.

## **Personality**

Rosemary is a very cheerful person. She is happy to train and always enjoys watching guild fights with her brother. She is very passionate, tenacious, and hard-working. Unlike Reiki, she has more energy overall and doesn't mind talking to people nearly as much. Although she does struggle with social interactions. She enjoys challenging her friends and sparring casually as a way of holding conversations.

The teenager is also very caring and perceptive. After Jay's loss in the Tryouts, she encourages him to use the failure as a boost. She also understands the family situations of Chancey and Luke and tries to respond to each one accordingly. She is well aware of Luke and Jay's competitive crush, but does not see a worthwhile long-term relationship with either.

While she is usually smiling, Rosemary is not afraid to express when things are frustrating, whether it is her parents, teammates, or even her brother. This stems from the fact that Reiki keeps his own feelings hidden, and she has witnessed first-hand the emotional consequences.

Rosemary is very honest. Like her father and older brother, she is a terrible liar and admits it. As much as she trusts Reiki, she does not like all of his secrets. She also comes close to completely disowning her father after he revealed his horrendous past.

## **Magic and Abilities**

**Requip: The Knight**

 Much like her mother, Rosemary can change into outfits with weapons within seconds to match her opponents. Unlike Erza, Rosemary's version uses shields that can turn into various weapons rather than using swords. It is also worth noting that she has mostly different types of armor than her mother.

*Sea Empress Armor*

*Celestial Spirit Armor*

*Archer Armor*

*Venomous Armor*

*Lightning Empress Armor*

*Combination Armor*

*Martial Arts Armor*

## **Family**

**Erza Scarlet-Fernandes:** Rosemary's mother. Their mother-daughter relationship is closer than it appears. Rosemary is willing to talk to her mother about serious subjects when she feels it necessary to bring them up. Likewise, Erza always trusts that her daughter will find her son and relay important information. While she is not outwardly cheering, Erza is very proud of her daughter and encourages her to keep trying for her goals. This is most prominent by the fact that Rosemary is extremely proficient with her magic and hand-to-hand combat.

**Jellal Fernandes:** Rosemary's father. The father-daughter relationship was strained as Jellal was rarely home during her childhood. Unlike Reiki, Rosemary made an effort to try and bond with her father when he was around and cried when he left. She greatly admired him. However, it was still thing as when Jellal revealed his past, her trust in him was almost completely shattered. This was saved partly by Reiki reminding her of all of Jellal's efforts, including giving Rosemary her current bow and source of pride for her ninth birthday. After she accepted her father's history, Rosemary has since made an effort to continue building their relationship.

**Reiki Fernandes:** Rosemary's older brother and best friend. The two siblings share an incredibly strong bond with each other. This is partly due to Erza threatening them (out of love) to stick together. He is overprotective of her, but has since backed off a little once she was promoted to S-class. Rosemary is incredibly trusting as she is willing to keep his secrets from even their parents. The exception being about Reiki's strange encounters and their possible connection to Jellal. At the same time, Rosemary is not above chastising her brother. She recognizes his golden heart and requests that he open up to strengthen his own relationships further. Reiki himself noted that she is always there for him, which made him question if he was actually present for her needs.

## **Friends**

**Luke Dragneel:** Rosemary's current teammate. She considers him a friend and always encourages him. Rosemary is well aware of the Dragneel situation and understands how much it affects Luke. After the second Tryouts trial, she recognized his solemn attitude as a result of Nashi not paying attention. Instead of scolding, she gently encouraged him to come inside when he was ready.

**Jay Fullbuster:** Rosemary's current teammate. She considers him a friend and cares for him in that way. After he fails at the Tryouts, Rosemary points out his complete lack of motivation and lesser magical strength than Luke. This is immediately followed up by her encouragement for him to set a goal for himself.

**Chancey Alberona:** Rosemary's guildmate and friend. Chancey comes by to help or observe Team Trials during training. The two women like to spar while having conversations. It is unknown if Rosemary has ever played a card game against Chancey.

**Jace Hebio:** Rosemary's guildmate. Interactions between these two involve taunting from Jace and a fighting response from Rosemary. His motives for being annoying are unclear.
