Juvia Lockser (ジュビア・ロクサー, Jubia Rokusā), spelled "Loxar" in the Funimation dub, is a blue-haired wizard originating from the Element 4, Phantom Lord's S-Class team that specializes in magic related to the four classical elements [ch. 47, 56]. Her magic, Water (水流, ウォーター, Wōtā), allows her to manipulate and turn her body into water at will, rendering her immune to physical damage, and gaining her notoriety as Juvia of the "Great Sea" (大海のジュビア, Taikai no Jubia).[ch. 56, 104] She also speaks in third person; But in the English Dub, she speaks in first person. As a child, she is ridiculed as a "rain woman" because of the downpours she has caused.[ch. 48] Her participation in the guilds' war over Lucy Heartfilia leads to an encounter with Gray Fullbuster. She duels with Gray, but loses and the rain around her stops for the first time in her life.[ch. 56-57] After Phantom Lord dissolves, Juvia joins Fairy Tail in pursuit of Gray's affections, and considers anyone he interacts with to be a romantic rival.[ch. 256] Eventually, Juvia becomes more cheerful and changes her appearance several times to suit her new personality, although her feelings for Gray remain unrequited for some time. After rescuing Gray at the cost of her own life, she is healed by Wendy Marvell.[ch. 499] Mashima does not remember the origins of her name, but really loves it.[vol. 27:extra]
