Key

Aries, "The White Lamb" (アリエス Ariesu) is a Celestial Spirit that is one of the 12 Golden Zodiac Keys. Her key is currently owned by Lucy Heartfilia.

Appearance

Aries' full body

Aries is a female spirit which resembles a young girl with pink hair, brown eyes and a pair of twisted horns on her head. Aries usually wears clothes based on a wool-like style, white and fluffy. Her outfit changes, however, as the story progresses. In her very first appearance, Aries did not have a satchel on her waist and her neck was covered in white wool rather than the pink wool shown in her recent appearance.

Personality

Aries is very shy and polite. She will always apologize (sumimasen), even if she didn't do anything wrong to her owner. Still, she is very sweet and nice and able to appreciate how kind an owner Lucy is. And, despite her fears, she is willing to fight for her.

History

Aries used as a shield by Karen

Three years ago, Aries was owned by Karen Lilica, who treated her terribly. Karen used Aries to keep her "boyfriends" away from her and as a shield during battles. Blue Pegasus's Guild Master Bob sees this and warns Karen to take care of her spirits. In a rage, she accuses Aries of ratting her out and physically assaults her, although all that is seen is Aries getting shoved to the floor.

As punishment, Karen tries to keep Aries in the human world for a week, but before she can act on this threat, Loke steps in by summoning himself to take Aries' place and tells the Celestial Spirit Mage to break her contracts with Aries and himself. When she refuses, Leo threatens to remain in the human world until she agrees, rendering Karen unable to summon any other Celestial Spirits. As a result, Karen was killed by Angel of Oración Seis and Aries' key was taken.

File:Aries vs. Loke.jpg

Aries vs. Loke

After an exchange in the Celestial Spirit World, Aries is summoned by Angel to battle Loke and Lucy. Despite the two not wanting to fight each other, they choose to fight for the sake of their pride. However, due to Aries' non-combative nature, she fights a losing battle with Loke.

Loke and Aries shot by Caelum

As the battle progresses, Angel summons Caelum and uses it to blast through Aries to hit Loke, causing them both to return to the Celestial Spirit World to heal. After her defeat, Angel is arrested and her contracts with her spirits are broken. Aries, along with Scorpio and Gemini, seek out Lucy and form contracts with her.

Edolas arc

Lucy summons Aries to prevent the Edolas soldiers from capturing her and her friends. Aries then proceeds to attack the soldiers with her Wool Magic, which allows Lucy and company to escape.

Aries attacks Kain with Wool Bomb

During the S-Class Trial, Lucy summons Aries to protect her and Cana from Bickslow's attacks. Aries then uses her Wool Magic to immobilize Bickslow and his dolls, allowing Lucy to finish him with her Lucy Kick. In a last attempt to defeat Kain Hikaru, Lucy summons Aries. Aries uses her charm to distract Kain and attack him with a Wool Bomb. She informs Lucy that Loke has been teaching her how to distract men in order to help her more in battle. However, this strategy fails and Kain attacks her and Lucy with Dodoskoi, sending them flying and sending Aries back to the Celestial Spirit World.

When Lucy and Michelle fall over a cliff, Aries is summoned to soften the fall using Wool Cushion. The cushion works and Lucy and Michelle are saved, but Aries apologizes, fearing the wool was too soft.

Grand Magic Games arc

Aries and Virgo protecting Lucy

Aries celebrates Lucy and her friends' return from Tenrou Island when Virgo brings them to the Celestial Spirit World. During the celebration, Aries dances with Scorpio, Natsu, Loke, and Levy. When the celebration ends, Aries says goodbye to Lucy and her friends, telling her to take good care of everybody. Aries is later summoned by Lucy during the Event of the Games' Fourth Day, Naval Battle, in which the competitors must knock each other out of a giant water sphere. When Lucy is about to be thrown out of the sphere, she summons Aries and Virgo, both of whom are wearing swimsuits. Aries creates a Wool Wall that prevents Lucy from going outside the sphere, apologizing if it was too fluffy. They later help Lucy by holding her hands after a powerful Water Magic spell from Juvia Lockser nearly sends her outside.

Aries is summoned again by both Lucy and Yukino Aguria, along with the other 11 Golden Keys, in order for them to combine their powers and seal the Eclipse Gate. Thus, Aries and the other Spirits fly towards the gate and push it, closing it once again.

Tartarus arc

Aries blinding the Tartarus members

After being confronted by Keith and Franmalth, Lucy summons Aries alongside Taurus, where Aries sends forth a flurry of wool which is further agitated by Taurus to blind the Tartarus members and allow Lucy and Wendy to escape. Later, Franmalth reappears, adopting Aries' form and abilities and after encountering Natsu and taking up Taurus' likeness, he reveals that he has absorbed both Celestial Spirits to perform Revolution. As Natsu attempts to attack Franmalth, the latter transforms his head into Aries' and lets out a weep, which hinders Natsu's assault. After Franmalth incapacitates Lucy in order to absorb her, she musters up the resolve to maintain her soul to save her spirits, and through such, she attempts to close Aries' gate by force, but not before Franmalth releases the spirit from his repertoire.

Magic and Abilities

Wool Magic: Aries' Magic allows her to manipulate wool for combat.

Aries using Wool Bomb

• Wool Bomb (ウ－ルボム Ūru Bomu): Aries conjures a massive amount of Magical wool around her opponents, in which she can ambush them in any given direction and lull them into a relaxed state, bringing the battle to her advantage.

• Wool Shot: Aries blasts little bursts of pink wool at her foes which attach to them, and, like her Wool Bomb attack, feels warm and relaxing to the recipient.

File:Wool Wall.jpg

Aries using Wool Wall

• Wool Wall: Aries conjures a thick cloud of pink wool which protects her from attacks, and like her other wool attack, feels very soft.

• Wool Cushion: Aries conjures a massive woolen cushion that spirals from the ground. It acts as an airbag which allows those falling from high ground to remain unharmed.

• 100% Fluffy-Fluffy Wool: Aries releases a thick flurry of wool towards the opponents, which blinds and obscures their vision and causes them to wheeze.

• Wool Typhoon: A combination attack used alongside Taurus; Aries attacks with 100% Fluffy-Fluffy Wool, then Taurus uses the Labrys while spinning causing the wool to whirl in a wide range attacking the opponent.

Hand to Hand Combatant: Aries has shown some skill in hand-to-hand combat, even using a jump spin kick against Leo right before Caelum shot them.

Immortality: As a Celestial Spirit, Aries cannot die, unless she is somehow forced to stay in the Human World.
