Biography

Mavis Vermillion (メイビス・ヴァーミリオン, Meibisu Vāmirion) is the first and founding master of Fairy Tail,[ch. 203] nicknamed the "Fairy Strategist" (妖精軍師, Yōsei Gunshi) as a child prodigy with vast military and illusory skill.[ch. 255] Mavis also has knowledge of the Three Great Fairy Magics (妖精三大魔法, Yōsei San Dai Mahō), a trinity of spells that can only be used by members of her guild;[ch. 233] besides Fairy Law, these spells include Fairy Glitter (妖精の輝き, フェアリーグリッター, Fearī Gurittā), an attack that eradicates any enemy,[ch. 232] and Fairy Sphere (妖精の球, フェアリースフィア, Fearī Sufia), an impenetrable force field that suspends time for those inside.[ch. 255] She is later revealed to possess the same immortality and life-stealing curse as series antagonist Zeref Dragneel, her former friend and lover, which also halts her outward physical maturity when she is first afflicted at thirteen years of age,[ch. 449] but retains her physiology as an adult woman in later life.[ch. 526] Raised on Sirius Island by a harsh guild master who takes her shoes away, Mavis develops the habit of walking barefoot.[13][14] At age 13, she encounters a group of treasure hunters who later become her co-founders of Fairy Tail.[13] While accompanying them on a journey to recover a stolen artifact, Mavis befriends a wandering Zeref, who teaches her a forbidden prototype of Fairy Law that triggers her curse when she performs the spell to save her friends' lives.[15][ch. 449] Eleven years later, Mavis continues to empathize with Zeref and falls in love with him, causing Zeref's curse to unwittingly send her into a deathlike state following a brief period of intimacy that results in the conception of a son, August.[ch. 450, 526] Her body is preserved in a lacrima crystal beneath Fairy Tail's guild hall, where it produces a source of limitless magic known as Fairy Heart (妖精の心臓, フェアリーハート, Fearī Hāto),[ch. 451] codenamed Lumen Histoire (ルーメン・イストワール, Rūmen Isutowāru),[ch. 258] with Precht Gaebolg building a false grave on Sirius Island to hide this secret.[ch. 203] Mavis consequently appears as an astral projection that can only be seen and heard by those marked with Fairy Tail's emblem.[ch. 268] She is eventually revived by the destruction of her stasis crystal to personally confront Zeref, and lifts their mutual curse by accepting her love for him despite also hating him, which enables both of their deaths.[ch. 489, 537] One year later, a girl who shares Mavis's appearance named Mio (ミオ) surfaces and encounters a young man named Alios, who resembles Zeref.[ch. 545] Mavis's background was included in the very first concepts of the series.[vol. 31:195] Mashima conceived her as an elderly male character, later changing her into a young girl after being informed that "Mavis" was a female name.[16] He also expanded the character's involvement in the story because of her "immense popularity", remarking that he had "no idea" she would become so popular.[vol. 32:191] Mashima said that many readers were surprised by Mavis's relationship with Zeref, which he had decided on "quite a long time ago" before revealing it.[vol. 53:189] He intended to draw a detailed kissing scene between the two characters, but amidst concerns regarding Mavis's appearance, he decided that depicting the scene in a silhouette would be "more beautiful and effective".[vol. 53:189]
