## Synopsis

### History

In her younger years, Zera's parents died causing she and her siblings to rely on themselves. At around the age of 9, her older sister Mirajane helped the townspeople by defeating a Demon that had taken over the church. But unaware of her own power Mirajane and Zera both grabbed onto that demon's soul and became what they believed to be cursed. Mirajane of course dealt with all the people's hatred and shielded Zera from the townspeople. Mirajane learned quickly how to hide her demon side and quickly became a master of her own magic as she trained everyday in hopes of continuing to defend her siblings. But one day a demon by the name of Prometheus, attacked their hometown setting everything ablaze including their home. In an attempt to save her siblings, Mirajane went to face off against the demon alone. As Mirajane fought for her siblings' lives Zera watched in terror as the demon tore off Mirajane's arm leaving her defenseless. Scared of losing her sister, Zera had awakened her power, turning into a demon unlike anything Mirajane had ever seen but after slaying the demon Zera nearly lost control but was knocked out by Mira soon after. Awoken to their town burnt down Zera was comforted by her older sister relieved that Mirajane had slayed the demon but was saddened by the lost of Mira's arm. Zera and her siblings decided to try and rebuild their home from what little resources they had left until one day they had met Master Makarov, who had come to the town see all of the destruction but was surprised to see 4 survivors left, children nonetheless. Seeing their scared selves he offered them a home in Fairy Tail, hesitant, Mirajane at first thought to refuse but looked at Zera who she remembered almost losing control agreed to his offer.

Settling into Fairy Tail was hard for Zera as she remained quite distant compared to her sibling who fit in just fine but was always glad seeing Mira and Elfman bring something home after their long days of questing. And when the day when Zera turned 11, she asked if she could join Mira and Elfman on their mission, hesitant to answer Mira agreed to it that she could learn a few things as long as she promised to stay out of danger. Later that day after their first day of questing Zera came home feeling more hopeful than ever and went to sleep that day being more excited than ever. That night, Mira had formulated a spell that would block Zera's full power as she feared that one day Zera would truly hurt someone and was scared of her breaking herself.

Two years after the promotion of Zera becoming an A-Class witch, she went on a quest with all her siblings, Mirajane, Elfman, and Freya, they all went to face off against a renowned demon trouncing along the trees of the East Forest of Magnolia but they didn't understand the full power of this demon which almost killed both Elfman and Mirajane whom of which were quite powerful and nearing the strength of an S-Class witch. In a fright of fear, Zera's body was able to dispel all of her Mira's enchantments which blocked out Zera's true power and so her true Satan Soul was revealed. She was able to obliterate the demon with mere ease that it even scared Mira, and when Freya tried to show affection to Zera saying that even though she was a demon now she still loved her, Zera killed Freya devastating both Elfman and Mira. Elfman tried to attack Zera but couldn't seeing the sister he still loved in front of him and so Mira teleported him as far as she could as she stood up to face her younger sister. Zera, still under the demon's influence, charged after Mira and both had a battle of demons which concluded to Zera supposedly killing Mira and with Zera waking up unconscious.

The shock of Freya's and Mira's loss caused Zera's personality to shift dramatically; she abandoned her her prideful and tough persona and has reverted back into the timid and loner self she was. This also caused a major shift in Zera's and Elfman's relationship causing Elfman to become more distant towards his sister and with Zera believing that her older brother hated her now and would probably never forgive her. After the incident, Zera went towards Makarov and Porlyusica for help in binding her true power as even she feared her own power as well. And now Zera continues on only being able to use what is said by Makarov "a tenth of her true potential."

## Appearance

Zera has the appearance of a petite, teenage girl. She has purple eyes and long silvered hair. She is considered quite beautiful. Originally, she wore a large, brown traveling cloak with a thick brown belt, but due to Mercenary's observation that she stands out too much, and her insistence, she changed her outfit. She now wears an open black coat with purple accents and big, white cuffs along with a white undershirt that shows her midsection, black shorts with a small, white belt, pink stockings that go up to the middle of her thighs, and thick, knee-high brown boots.

Zera also has her witch's mark which appeared the same moment Touya arrived onto Earth Land, which is shaped much like heart broken in half on the on top of the right side of her back.

## Magic and Abilities

### Magic

**Take Over**: Zera is a skilled user of **Take Over**, a type of Magic which, as the name suggests, allows her to take over the powers and appearances of particular creatures she really "*knows*". She shares such Magic with her sibling Elfman, something which made them known as the "*Take Over Siblings*". The particular form she employs shares the name of her signature spell Satan Soul. Due to the nature of Zera's Take Over, she has the ability to control Demons and manipulate them to do her bidding.

* **Partial Take Over**: Initially, Zera, unlike her sister, could only utilize Demon Arms, which exclusively transforms her body parts into different demon form even being able to add additional demon parts onto her body such as wings, something she knew what was going to happen after the binding of her powers.
	+ **Demon Arms: Prometheus**: This specific demon's soul was brought to Zera when she was merely a chil when her older sister tried to kill the demon herself. Using the power from a previously killed demon by the name of Prometheus, Zera primarily uses this demon as her right arm which allows her to access the power from the demon Prometheus to do fire magic and control it's flames. It's shown that Zera can shoot massive fireballs and streams of fire with this power.
	+ **Demon Arms: Ferafur**: The demon known as Ferafur was killed by her older brother Elfman during a quest which Zera followed her brother on which she was able to harness part of it's soul. Ferafur allowed Zera to access wind and storm magic but it's shown she primarily uses it's power to grow wings to fly.
	+ **Demon Arms: Adabbon**: Abaddon was the name of the demon which attacked her hometown but after destroying their village and majority of the forests nearby was shortly killed by her deceased sister Mirajane who also shared the same power as Zera. This demon allows Zera to access the power of destruction allowing Zera to instantly destroy any inanimate object she touches. It can also grow and extend it's parts. This is primarily used to duel wield with her other demon arms.
* **Full-Body Take Over**: Her first attempt to do so resulted in a catastrophe, with Zera losing her will to the creature she tried to completely take over, running wild and seemingly causing the death of her younger sister Freya and supposedly causing the death of her older sister Mirajane as well, something which prevented her from attempting to use Full-Body Take Over ever since. (ADD ONCE SHE DOES DO A FULL BODY TAKE-OVER)
	+ **Satan Soul**:

**Witch's Mark**: It's ability has yet to be known.

**Heaven's Eyes**: Though Zera found it ironic that with her demon powers she would have an eye magic based on the heaven's, this type of eye magic allows Zera to look at certain things in a certain vicinity. It was seen when she used it to locate the vulcans on Mount Hakobe.

### Abilities

* **Extensive Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Zera has proven herself proficient in close combat with the aid of her Demon Arms and when she devoloped her full body take over, employing such style as her main form of offense. She was able to move extremely fast and accurate strikes.
