Biography

Origin

Juvia Lockser (Japanese: ジュビア・ロクサー, Hepburn: Jubia Rokusā) was a female human born in the year Year X767 in the Earthlands. From a young age, she had manifested her magic power that allowed her to manipulate water with this often manifesting as a rain cloud around her. This resulted in other children shunning her for making it rain around her and in an effort to cope she began to use teru teru bozu dolls. These were used in an attempt to stop the rain but this simply caused the other children to tease her even more.

As she grew older, she would overhear other people commenting on the gloominess of the rain around her, making her feel increasingly depressed. At one point in her life she was in a relationship with Bora, but he broke up with her because he could not stand the rain. Eventually, she was accepted into the Phantom Lord Guild, noting that it was the first time anyone had accepted her, and formed a quarter of the guild's elite Mage team: Element 4.

The Phantom Lord Guild later proclaimed war on Fairy Tail by destroying their guildhall and hurting their Shadow Gear team. After the attack, Jose Porla tasks Juvia and Sol with capturing Lucy Heartfilia, the duo found her as she leaves the infirmary where the members of Shadow Gear are being treated. Juvia initially does not recognize Lucy and walks past her after a brief meeting, prompting Sol to identify their target for her. Lucy prepares to fight the two members of the guild that hurt her friends, but Juvia captures her with her Water Lock spell. With their mission complete, Juvia and Sol bring Lucy to their master. Later, during Phantom Lord's attack on Fairy Tail, Juvia is stationed inside the guild's mobile fortress, which has transformed into a giant robot -the Super Mage Giant Phantom MK II- to help cast the forbidden Abyss Break spell. She appears before Gray Fullbuster, who has infiltrated the base in search of a way to stop the robot. Upon laying eyes on him, Juvia becomes attracted to him and is reluctant to fight him, instead asking him to bring Lucy to her to spare herself from having to hurt him. However, Gray refuses, saying he would give up his life to protect her. Juvia immediately misinterprets Gray's resolve and is under the impression that he and Lucy are an item, which prompts her to declare Lucy as her unforgivable rival in love. During the fight that ensues, Gray manages to freeze Juvia's body, but accidentally gropes her breast and unfreezes her in embarrassment. Moved by his apparent kindness, she tries to confess her fondness of him, but instead causes it to rain even harder; Gray thoughtlessly remarks on the gloomy weather. Now thinking Gray to be as uncaring to her as everyone else who has teased her throughout her life, Juvia attacks him in a vengeful fury, but Gray, determined to win, manages to once again freeze her boiling body with his Ice Geyser. The shock of her defeat snaps her out of her anger and depression, causing it to stop raining. For the first time in her life, Juvia is able to see the clear, blue sky, the beauty of which moves her to tears. She then spontaneously falls in love with Gray all over again and, overwhelmed, passes out. Her defeat subsequently slows the casting of the Abyss Break spell, which stops entirely after all four members of Element 4 are defeated. Following Juvia's defeat, Phantom Lord loses the war against Fairy Tail and is consequently disbanded by order of the Magic Council, leaving Juvia as an Independent Mage. However, her obsession with Gray remains, causing her to stalk him and leave him boxed lunches at any given opportunity.

Fairy Tail

Juvia followed Gray and his friends on a vacation to one of Fairy Tail's most extravagant seaside resorts. She musters up the courage to speak to Gray again, and reveals her intentions to join Fairy Tail now that she is an Independent Mage. As Gray discusses the idea with her, the two are suddenly attacked by Simon, a Dark Mage searching for Erza Scarlet. Juvia defends Gray and tells him to search for Erza, but Simon uses his Shadow Magic to darken the entire room, moving to attack whilst they are momentarily blind. However, Juvia manages to protect Gray by hiding him inside her water body, whilst Gray leaves a clone of himself for Simon to attack. Simon attacks the fake and proceeds to leave, though Juvia notices something off about his actions: because he is a user of Shadow Magic, he would also have the power to see in the dark; he thus wouldn't have been fooled by Gray's Ice Clone, which he had attacked anyway. Determined to verify Simon's motives, Juvia accompanies Team Natsu as they head towards the Tower of Heaven, where Erza and Happy have been taken after being kidnapped by Simon and his allies. She helps the three infiltrate the tower through an underwater passage, giving them her oxygen-filled Water Bubbles for them to breathe with, and effortlessly fights off the guards they encounter inside. No sooner do they enter one of the tower's main halls do they run into Erza, who has already freed herself from her captives. Juvia becomes nervous that Erza will object to her joining Fairy Tail as a former member of Phantom Lord, but Erza overlooks her and tells everyone to leave - save Natsu, who runs off to find Happy. When the group refuse however, Erza is talked into revealing her tragic past as a former slave of the Tower of Heaven, and how her former friends, including Simon and Jellal Fernandes, intend to use her as a sacrifice to revive the Dark Mage Zeref. Shortly after Erza finishes her story, the group are approached by Simon, who confirms Juvia's earlier suspicions that he had attacked Gray's Ice Clone on purpose. Saying that his true loyalties lie with Erza and not Jellal, Simon joins the group to help them find Natsu and stop Jellal, as does Shô, another of Erza's former friends. As they ascend the tower, Jellal broadcasts a challenge to defeat him, revealing the presence of three additional challengers, Trinity Raven; he also adds that the Magic Council's ultimate weapon, Etherion, is set to destroy the tower and everyone in it. Shô, seeing Jellal's true colors for the first time, snaps and runs off to kill Jellal by himself, sealing Erza inside a Magic card and taking her with him for her protection. Though Juvia is eager to travel together with Gray, he sends her together with Lucy to search for Natsu while he follows after Erza.

Moving together through the tower, Juvia and Lucy encounter Vidaldus Taka, one of the members of Trinity Raven. Immune to his flailing hair attacks, Juvia uses her Water Lock on Vidaldus, but he absorbs it with his hair. Vidaldus then casts Rock of Succubus on her, transforming her into his slave and forcing her to fight Lucy against her will. However, Juvia's true voice reaches out to Lucy during their fight, saying that she doesn't wish to hurt anyone in Fairy Tail, not even her "rival in love;" she has come to love Fairy Tail, but now despairs that she is only bringing them sadness as she has done to many others throughout her life. Moved by her sincerity, Lucy ensures Juvia that she will surely be accepted by Fairy Tail and summons Aquarius inside Juvia's water body, freeing her from Vidaldus' control. Juvia and Lucy grab each other's hands and perform a Unison Raid against Vidaldus; the man tries to absorb Aquarius' water, but ends up being defeated. While resting after their hard-earned victory, Juvia and Lucy put aside their differences and become friends. Juvia and Lucy are both found by Wally Buchanan and Millianna, two of Simon's other friends who have turned against Jellal. They regroup with everyone else and board a small boat to escape the tower while Natsu, Erza, and Simon remain inside to stop Jellal. Etherion fires as they sail away, unleashing a wave of water that destroys the boat, but Juvia rescues everyone with a Water Dome. The group worry about their friends inside the tower who were hit by Etherion, but are shocked to see that the attack does not destroy the tower; rather, it is absorbed by the Lacrima hidden inside. Juvia and the others watch from afar as Natsu defeats Jellal and destroys the tower, and joyfully embrace him and Erza as they escape safe and sound; however, they are saddened to hear that Simon lost his life protecting the two from Jellal. As Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Team Jellal return to the resort to recover from the event, Juvia goes to the newly renovated Fairy Tail guildhall to meet with the guild's master, Makarov Dreyar, now prepared to ask him for guild membership.

Successfully becoming a member of the Fairy Tail Guild with Master Makarov's full blessing, Juvia greets Gray and his friends when they return to the guild, her hair cut and her clothes changed to mark her new beginning. She then reveals to her new friends that she invited Gajeel Redfox to join as well. When a reporter from the Sorcerer Magazine comes to interview the members of Fairy Tail, Gray asked who the reporter was where Juvia reminded him of what Makarov told them yesterday regarding the man. When the reporter comes to talk to Gray, he is in his underwear, which Juvia hastily points out. When Gajeel later performs on stage in front of Fairy Tail, Juvia cheers him on, telling him to try his best. To start the Harvest Festival, a beauty contest takes place at the Fairy Tail Guild, and Juvia decides to compete in it alongside Lucy, Erza, Cana, Mirajane, Levy, and Bisca. When the Thunder God Tribe arrive, Evergreen turns all the contestants, including Juvia, into stone, rendering them immobilized as the panicked members of Fairy Tail all run off to track down Laxus and his gang to reverse the spell. After Erza defeats Evergreen, Juvia, along with the other girls, is released from Evergreen's stone gaze. Makarov and Natsu update Juvia and the other girls on what is going on, explaining how Laxus is making Fairy Tail members battle each other through the use of Fried Justine's Jutsu Shiki Magic. When Laxus announced that, due to the recovery of the girls, he was going to use Thunder Palace, Juvia goes outside with everyone else and sees orbs of lighting Lacrima surrounding Magnolia.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Juvia Lockser was a slender teenage human girl with azure blue hair, midnight blue eyes, a snow-like skin complexion and a curvaceous figure. Originally, she kept her long hair tightly curled at the base but began to wear it longer. Originally, she used to wear a sapphire blue coat, a cream coloured furry trimmed navy blue shawl that had a pure white teru teru bōzu attached to it along with a matching Russian Cossack hat. She was known by a number of aliases that included Juvia of the Great Sea (大海のジュビア Taikai no Jubia), Juvia of the Deep (ディープのジュビア Dīpu no Jubia) and as the Rain Woman (雨女 Ame on'na).

At first, Juvia was shown as being a secluded figure even amongst the ranks of the Phantom Lord Guild who had an emotionless face. This changed though after she joined Fairy where she showed a more happier demeanour.

After her defeat at Gray Fullbuster's hands, she began to obsess over him and saw him as her one true love.
