Aria Aquarius

**Aria Aquarius**「アリア・アクエリアス, *Aria Akueriasu*?」is an acquaintance of Spica Virgo, and student of Royal Diana Academy assigned to Pandora's Box, the coven Claude Sirius teaches.

## Appearance

Aria's hair is long and purplish dark blue with a few lavender-colored strands, and her eyes are pink. She is often depicted with prominent canines,

During school, Aria wears a standard Royal Diana Academy school uniform with an Aquarius badge on the left side of her chest. She also wears thigh-high socks with white and lavender stripes. Her most prominent accessories are candy-shaped earrings with diagonal white and red stripes.

Her casual outfit consists of a short and loose dress with a ribbon below her chest, and short puffy sleeves. She keeps wearing striped thigh-high socks and candy-shaped earrings though.

Her wand is light blue, making it look like it is made of water. Its base is decorated with a silver wave pattern.

## Personality

Aria enjoys teasing other people and is often seen with a smirk, making condescending comments or outright laughing at other people failing. Most of it is directed at her childhood friend and rival Spica Virgo. Spica knows that Aria doesn't mean it in a malicious way and definitely sees her a friend, but is still often annoyed by her. Despite constantly teasing her, Spica means a lot to Aria. She gets worried when Spica puts herself in danger, actively supports her in fights and is also very clingy towards her childhood friend.

She is very confident in her own abilities, even calling herself a genius. Aria actually knows a lot about magic, even before enrolling at Royal Diana Academy. She also gets perfect grades and is praised by her teachers for her creative and advanced use of magic. Aria is also confident enough to confront big monsters all on her own. Her confidence often borders on recklessness though.

She is not only talented when it comes to magic though, but in many other subjects too. No matter if it's drawing, cooking, horse riding or embroidery, all of it apparently comes natural to Aria. However, in reality she has to put in a lot of effort and works hard to excel at anything she tries out. Aria always wants to be the very best due to a deep desire for attention.

Aria often shows at least physical interest in other girls, especially Spica but also her other classmates like Io and Hana.

## Abilities

#### **Aquarius Magic**

(水瓶座魔法アクエリアス・マジック *Akueriasu Majikku*)

Aria uses Aquarius Magic, which lets her create and control water. She often uses it to form objects that are made of water, including cannons, hearts, flowers and simple spiral-like patterns.

She is a very talented mage and already knew a lot about the topic before enrolling at Diana. Even Claude commends Aria for her advanced and creative use of magic.

* **Hydro Cannon** (ハイドロキャノン *Haidoro Kyanon*): Aria forms water into a cannon, which can then fire a big water cannonball. The projectile has enough destructive power to shatter a big golem. It consumes a lot of mana though, so Aria can use it only once before running out.
* **Aqua Sphere** (アクアスフィア *Akua Sufia*): Aria forms a water sphere that encloses her target to form a shield. The shield is strong enough to intercept rocks thrown from a golem.
* **Hand of Poseidon** (ポセイドンの手て *Poseidon no Te*): Aria forms a hand shape of water, and have it catch her target. The hand can outmanuever and overwhelm Lophorns, which are known for their great speed. Claude also comments on the "incredible range" of this spell.

#### **Cross Magic**

(クロス・マジック *Kurosu Majikku*)

Cross Magic allows users of two different Zodiac signs to combine their powers, forming a synergy.

* **Aquarium Sphere** (アクアリウム・スフィア *Akuariumu Sufia*): A Cross Magic spell with Merrow's Pisces Magic. Aria uses her magic to create a big sphere of water, which Merrow then uses to summon a large quantity of sea creatures. As the name suggests, this creates something akin to an aquarium.

## Trivia

* Aria is named after the zodiac sign and constellation of Aquarius.
* She is an only child.
* Initially she had no interest in magic, but started to learn after Spica aspired to become a mage.
