Erza Scarlett : Fashion As An Armor

Fashion As An Armor


Scarlet Erza also known as Titania is one of the tritagonists from the famous animated series “Fairy Tail” franchise. She is an S-Class Mage from the Fairy Tail guild and is the de-facto leader of her inner friendship group. Though this character is not my favourite in the franchise I can still appreciate the variety of her armors. Her magic is called ‘Requip Magic’ in which she changes into different armors that she creates according to the most suitable. Her armors can give her extra powers like telekinesis, enhanced strength and many more. She is also a very talented swordsman and a pro at hand to hand combat. Her power bloomed when she needed to defend herself in her childhood. Her armors are not traditional armors but has a sense of herself in each one of them. I will be going through 3 of my biased ones.


Clear Heart Armor

Her outfit is primarily red with some gold, black and white. The outfit consists of a white sarashi 

( Sarashi is a kind of cloth made from cotton mostly but rarely linen used to make various garments in Japan) round the upper chest and a red hakama with a gold flame-like pattern at the bottom with black highlights, tied by white strings and no shoes to cover her feet. Erza's hair is tied up in a high tail at the back by a green headband. 


This outfit is just normal clothes without any special properties. As her armors represented the walls around her heart, donning these clothes represented her opening her heart and breaking down the walls she'd built up to protect herself. While in this outfit, she discards defense, instead focusing primarily on offense.


Heaven's Wheel Armor

Almost every part of this armor is seemingly made of silver metal. The upper part of this armor only consists of a small, revealing breastplate that extends along her hips. Her waist is circled by large, decorated plates reminiscent of feathers that lie on a long skirt. She wears a pair of plated boots which is partially hidden under her skirt, each sporting metal ornaments shaped like wings. The armor also sports two pairs of large metal wings which adorn her back, composed of metal feathers which get longer and larger at the edges.


This armor grants her the ability to fly and summon a large amount of swords from 100 to 200 swords and launch weapons at her opponent in a variety of different ways. The armor is meant to be used for facing multiple opponents.

Nakagami Armor

The Nakagami Armor is an elegant armor composed of a short blue robe trimmed gold which is largely open in the middle, revealing much of Erza's chest. The robe is tied together at the waist with a simple red ribbon held together by a gold bead. The robe has elegant multi-layered trim. She wears two large blue gloves which have gold trims flaring out in the ends.  She wears a large golden pauldron over each shoulder, bearing the image of a lion with an open mouth. She has blue and gold leggings which match the gloves in their pattern and design. Around the leggings are a pair of gold greaves.  Atop her head sits a tiara and each piece has a gold adornment inside. Behind her is a large white sash which loops above her head with the ends hanging out towards the ground with a bead on each end.


The Nakagami Armor consumes a vast amount of magical power, which has prevented anyone from wearing the armor in over ten years; however, the ones who are able to wield it are capable of dispelling Magic, and are granted a peerless sword, which can cut or slice through anything, even "space".
