Appearance Edit

Obra is an extremely tall and massive man with an outlandish appearance, sporting pale blue skin and round, beady, reflective and mildly protruding black eyes, which have no seeming sclera, being completely dark like those of a rodent, or a bird. He has very long, straight blue hair, which flows down to his shoulders, where it is gathered in a ponytail.^[2] The features of his face are just as distinctive, with it being elongated frontwards, culminating in a very long, protruding and vaguely hooked nose, under which Obra's wide mouth, with thick pinkish lips, sits. He has a fairly long neck, and passing just above his nose are two white belts covered in round studs,^[3] with a larger section secured by buttons sitting on his nose's upper part.^[4]

Most of Obra's body is hidden away by a very large, poncho-like black cape, whose collar, reaching up to his face and obscuring his chin, is adorned by a white pattern consisting of several white circles linked together by a line passing below them. Below his neck, secured to it by straps, are three white bow ties, placed one below the other, and linked together by smaller straps. Sprouting from below such cape are four, limb-like appendages covered in dark and light stripes, somehow reminiscent of a bee's sting, with two of them being placed at each of Obra's sides.^[2] His attire is completed by a high, large-brimmed top hat, circled by two bronze-colored stripes right above the brim and some inches below its top.^[3][4]

PersonalityEdit

Obra is a man, who hardly talks, in fact he hasn't talked at all, since his first appearance. According to Nullpuding, Obra has to be forced to use his full potential during a fight, indicating a lazy side.

SynopsisEdit

Grand Magic Games arcEdit

Obra is first shown alongside Ivan Dreyar and some fellow Raven Tail members in the guild's headquarters.^[5] He is later chosen to participate in the Grand Magic Games as one of the five members of Team Raven Tail. Before the Preliminary Event, the little creature that is alongside Obra managed to pre-occupy Wendy from the Preliminary Event, ambushing her and causing her Magical Power to dissipate.^[6]

His team successfully ranks third during the preliminary contest, Sky Labyrinth.^[7] When the team enters the Games' field, they meet the Fairy Tail members, and Alexei states that Wendy was "a way to say hello". After this, the black creature jumps onto Obra's shoulder, and stays there during the Games.^[8]

During Flare Corona's battle with Team Fairy Tail A's Lucy Heartfilia, he somehow negated the latter's spell Urano Metria, despite the fact that he wasn't fighting, which is against the rules. Yajima, however, seems to have noticed his Magic in action.^[9]

On the third day of the Grand Magic Games, Obra is chosen by his leader to represent Raven Tail for the day's event, but is warned not to do anything unnecessary because the Magic Council is watching them. The event, Pandemonium, consists of defeating monsters of different levels to earn points and progress. However, the event is finished by Erza Scarlet alone, which amazes the entire audience.^[10] When the Magic Power Finder is announced, Obra later steps and, instead of using any spell, he sends out his black creature to strike the MPF machine, gaining a meager score of 4 points. When Flare asks him what he is doing, Alexei replies that he can't show his power in front of people.^[11]

During "Alexei's" matchup against Laxus Dreyar in the third day's battle portion, Ivan Dreyar is revealed to be Alexei while using an illusion to fool the audience. Ivan then orders Laxus to tell him Lumen Histoire's location, and the rest of Team Raven Tail comes to threaten Laxus. However, Laxus shows determination to defeat them all.^[12] When Ivan attacks Laxus with his Magic, he orders Obra to take away Laxus' Magic power, attacking Laxus with his Magic. But before Obra could even release his Magic, Laxus attacks Obra, knocking him out.^[13] After the spectators discover that Raven Tail played a dirty game, the members of Custody Enforcement Unit arrest Raven Tail and an unconscious Obra. As he is picked up, the black creature from inside him comes out, saying that it will meet Fairy Tail again.^[14]

Magic & AbilitiesEdit

Magic Canceling: By unknown means, Obra was able to cancel out Lucy's Urano Metria spell, leaving her completely powered out. He managed to do so from a far distance and completely unnoticed by anyone.^[9] When pointing at him as the one responsible for the ambush on Wendy Marvell and Carla, Carla also went on to state that Obra's power allows him to reduce the target's Magic Power to zero in an instant.^[15]
