Nashi Dragneel

Nashi Dragneel (梨・ドラグニル Nashi Doraguniru) is a Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild, wherein she is Gary Fullbuster's partner and the owner of Leo Minor Býleistr. She the older sister of Igneel, Luke, and Luna.

Appearance
Nashi has dark brown eyes like her mother,, and long, wavy pink hair that is usually down. She is buxom and has a curvaceous body when she grows older.

Her pink Fairy Tail stamp is located on her right shoulder. She does not wear the same outfit. However, she can normally be seen with a white scarf-type choker around her neck and a skirt. She wears a black wristband on her right wrist. She also wears black leather knee-high boots. As of now, Nashi has two indents on her shoulder blades.

History
From what is known from Nashi's past, she was eager to help out her parents in caring for Luna as well as often fought Luke. She and Gary started a rivalry (most likely out of the competitive nature of both their fathers), though Nashi often lost to Gary due to his age and Magic Power. At one point, however, in a memory of Skade's, Nashi had met Skade during his escape from the Bureau of Magical Development. It would seem he is the first one to call her "Angel", but it is uncertain.

At some point, Nashiwas psychologically and (assumedly) sexually traumatized and assaulted, resulting in hospitalization and severe manic depression. Sometime after that, she and Galileo Redfox had begun a beneficial friendship.

Magic and Abilities
Take-Over: Divine Soul (接収, テイクオーバー, Teiku Ōbā): Nashi is an amateur user of Take Over, a type of Magic, which, as the name suggests, allows her to take over the powers and appearances of creatures she really “knows”. As a requirement, she must absorb the soul of a Divine Being to use their powers.

Divine Soul (神の魂 Kami no tamashī): Divine Soul is a powerful spell, as well as the source of her epithet “The Angel”. Her power came from Guardian Angel Cael. Divine Soul allows her to take over the appearance, abilities and powers of a divine or heavenly being. Divine Soul is initiated by seemingly covering Nashi’s body in a glowing white dress that poofs out at the waist and pink petticoat and dark violet undercoat. Thigh-high pink high-heel boots are on her feet. On her hands are delicate white gloves with a pink gem on the palm of her left hand and a red gem on the palm of her right hand, representing her parents. Surrounding her are two Holy Rings with inscribed Ancient Language about Heaven and Hell. Surrounding that are seven crystals that represent the seven archangels, going from red to gold to orange to green to blue to violet, or the main colors of the rainbow. Each crystal gives Nashi the power of that archangel. There is a star gem on Nashi’s cleavage in representation of Mother Mary.

When Nashi received a blood transfusion from Kyler, Nashi’s Divine Soul armor has taken a different turn. This is a quote from Adventure 054 of a description of her new additions to her divine Soul:

“The star of Mother Mary pierced her chest. An armored dress cloaked her as gauntlets came onto her hands. Her duel Holy Rings shrunk down to become bands around her waist. A winged head dressed crafted in cold, bound by a language none could interpret, landed on Nashi’s hair, but when her hand moved over her face, the headdress extended into a plated mask that shielded her eyes. Loose hair was strapped in intricate Encan braids and extended to her waist. A triquetra appeared engraved on her back with two wings flanking it.”
 * Heavenly Hymn: Summons a harp that strums a song. Each song has a different effect depending on the situation.


 * God’s Hammer: Summons a hammer with the crest of Archangel Uriel. Hammer collects energy from nearby sources before striking the opponent.


 * Freedom Arrow: Summons a large bow and an arrow of light that will always hit the target.
 * Sword of Truth: Summons a sword with the crest of Archangel Zadkiel.
 * Holy Shield: Summons a translucent rainbow-esque shield. Due to Nashi’s power up, her shield works the same as Justin Justine’s Magic. It absorbs the blows to reuse as energy. However, once it is full of energy, the shield will explode.
 * Holy Bubble: Nashi can summon bubbles of her Holy Shield.


 * Healing Magic: Nashi can use Healing Magic while in Divine Soul.
 * Healing Sand: Summons a teapot that pours out sand that heals all and any mortal wounds no matter how fatal and can give a slight energy boost, leaving no scar tissue. However, the Healing Sand cannot heal broken bones. How well the sand works also depends on what condition Nashi is in at the time.

Divine Soul: Seraphim (セラフィム Serafimu): A Divine Soul forms that allow the user to take over the appearance, abilities and powers of Heavenly Counselor of the Seraph. While using this spell, Nashi attains six wings that blaze with fire. Her face is covered in armor with the cross on the front. She gains light armor impervious to all attacks rather than donning regular clothes. The armor is silver and blue with inscriptions in ancient text that light up when she is using magic. On her cleavage is a golden gem called the Seraph Gem. She can transform at will or use a mantra (Of the four realms of Kabbalah, the seraph resides in Beri’ah as the protector of justice. You have broken the laws and, for your defilement, I pass judgement now. I pass judgement with…execution. And let justice…prevail!)
 * Soul Resonance Evolution: Nashi has the capabilities of sliding between her Seraphim Soul, her Ikisat Mode, and her Divine Soul by saying “Ascend” or “Descend” and into the form she so chooses.
 * Seven Stars: Nashi fires seven super-heated spheres of sacred light at the opponent.
 * Fire Magic: Nashi has the capabilities of using Fire Magic
 * Fate’s Hands: strikes opponent with fists of shining gold flames.


 * Swords of Justice: produces swords Urim and Thurimm, both with crests of light and perfection in Ancient Language on themselves respectively.

Divine Soul: Seraphim Ikisat Mode: This mode of Divine Soul: Seraphim allows the user to momentarily ascend to a higher power. This can be invoked at a mantra (“Gabriel, I ask of thee for your assistance. For I am a faithful servant and the protector of justice, grant me my prayer. I invoke your name, O Gabriel, to allow me to ascend. Come forth and grant me my wish! Ascend me into Divine Soul: Seraphim – Ikisat Mode!”) or if Nashi receives more Angel blood. Her Magic Circle shifts into a pink and gold with six wings still surrounded the Holy Trinity Eye still and an Ouroboros wrapped around the circle. The description below comes from Adventure 028 in regard to the Ikisat mode:
 * Flight Magic: Nashi can conjure six wings on her body to fly with.
 * Soul Resonance Evolution: Nashi has the capabilities of sliding between her Seraphim Soul, her Ikisat Mode, and her Divine Soul by saying “Ascend” or “Descend” and into the form she so chooses.

“Wind and light and fire and pink surrounded Nashi as her Magic Circles closed in on her, drowning her in Magic. Each piece of armor was stripped off her very being. Her gauntlets slid off her. The helmet she donned to cover her head lifted off her. Her loincloth dissolved. Her six wings disappeared. Ancient Language burned onto her glowing body with her citrine gemstone the only thing that remained on her person. Magic burst from the Seraph Gem and began to wrap around Nashi. Boots clung to her feet and legs. Gauntlets pieced themselves on Nashi’s hands with blades coming out of the sides. A new breastplate was formed, thicker than her last one, and she donned back a skirt and belt. Her loincloth dropped down with the symbol of a scaly serpent on it—a dragon. She arched her back as two angelic wings burst from her back, glowing in all things light and holy with fire touching its edges. A tail appeared from Nashi’s backside, lashing itself in high anger. The last pieces of Nashi’s new armor fell onto her head as a helmet, covering from her eyes to the middle of the back of her head once again. This was no ordinary helmet. It looked more like a mask one would get for Halloween. The top of a muzzle stretched before her with a top row of sharp teeth and even sharper canines. Horns appeared on the top of the helmet.” Celestial Spirit Magic: Nashi is still a novice in regard to Celestial Spirit Magic. She inherited the use of this Magic through Lucy and her Heartfilia bloodline.
 * Testament of Divine Hope: This spell opens the mouth of the dragon head with gold light that has purifying qualities.
 * (Unnamed Meteor Shower Move):  This spell creates meteors of fire and light that can extinguish any impurity.

 * Staff of the Ikisat: The staff is gold with the head of a Dragon. The staff can also turn into a whip.
 * Unnamed Blade: Nashi can conjure a double-bladed sword
 * Soul Resonance Evolution: Nashi has the capabilities of sliding between her Seraphim Soul, her Ikisat Mode, and Divine Soul by saying “Ascend” or “Descend” and into the form she so chooses.

Transformation Magic (変身魔法 Henshin Mahō): Transformation Magic allows its caster to change his or her appearance. While this Magic is a deep and complex art, basic Transformation Magic is relatively easy for Mages to learn. Nashi has completed her Basic and Intermediate levels, but trains with Mirajane and Lance Dreyar to complete the Advanced level.
