Erza Scarlet (HB)

"I'm...alone again...? Everyone is...gone? There's no one to be there for me anymore...? No...friends...family...?...No...No...I don't want to accept this...! This...this can't be...real...! This...this is...Why...?!"

- Erza denying her friends' deaths Erza Scarlet (エルザ・スカーレット, Eruza Sukāretto) is a former S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail, being one of the strongest members at the time, prior to the Eclipse Gate opening, and the subsequent Dragon's Attack, resulting in the supposed deaths of all the mages who fought during said event. Following the aftermath, Erza was given the news of her friends' deaths, resulting in her running away, denying the current reality, eventually giving into her wallowing despair and grief.

As of current events, Erza lives alone in a forest away from society, her mind and will broken, becoming a shell of her former self. Her existence was kept a secret under Hisui E. Fiore's orders, due to fears of her being hunted down following her reputation, and allow her to live as she wishes following Erza herself rejecting any offers Hisui gave her, such as high-ranking positions in her army, and other forms of support from her.

Trivia

 * Erza may be an anagram of "Ezra", which is Hebrew for "Help" (or "Evil Goat", if you make it "Ez Ra").
