The fanfictions can also change how fans view her relationships. If she's tortured and her friends come to her rescue, it strengthens the idea of the strong bonds within Fairy Tail. It can also show her leadership qualities. Even while being tortured, she might be giving advice or showing courage to those around her, which further cements her as an important and inspiring figure in the Fairy Tail universe.
These fanfictions can enhance the perception of Erza as a strong and resilient character. When she endures torture, it shows that she can withstand great pain and not break easily. For instance, if she's tortured by a powerful villain, but still manages to fight back or resist in some way, it makes readers see her as a formidable force.
One common theme is the test of Erza's strength. In many fanfictions, she endures torture as a way to show how strong she is both physically and mentally. For example, she might be captured by enemies who try to break her will through various forms of torture, but she always manages to hold on. Another theme could be the development of her relationships. The torture she endures can make her friends or comrades realize how much they care about her, leading to deeper emotional bonds.
In such fanfiction, it can show Erza's vulnerability. When she's in the shower, she's in a private moment away from her usually tough - as - nails exterior. This can reveal her softer side, like her insecurities or her hopes for the future. For example, she might worry about not being strong enough to protect her friends.
Often, a shared danger or mission is what brings them closer. When they are in a life - or - death situation, they have to trust each other completely. This trust then blossoms into deeper feelings. They might start to notice little things about each other, like how Grey notices Erza's determination in the face of danger and Erza notices Grey's protectiveness.
These fanfictions enhance their relationship by exploring different aspects of it. They can show their relationship growing in ways that the original series might not have time for. For example, through small moments of understanding and kindness that build on their connection.
There are fanfictions where their friendship grows over a training arc. They train together, with Erza pushing Lucy to be stronger. Erza shares her combat knowledge, and Lucy shares her knowledge about Celestial Spirits. This mutual learning process makes them respect and like each other more, leading to a deeper friendship.
Erza could be developed by showing her vulnerability. Usually, she is very strong and composed. But in this situation, her being embarrassed and naked makes her more human. We can explore how she overcomes her insecurities and uses her inner strength.
Jellal is often paired with Erza in fanfictions. Given their complex history, there's a lot of emotional depth that can be explored. There's also Lucy. Their friendship could potentially develop into something more in a fanfiction, and they can support each other in different ways, with Lucy's celestial magic and Erza's combat skills.
The guild would be devastated. Natsu would probably be one of the first to be enraged. He'd vow to find whoever or whatever was responsible and make them pay. His fire would burn hotter than ever as he channels his anger.
Base her development on her backstory. Since she has a tough past in Fairy Tail, use that as a foundation. As a child, she might be haunted by memories of her early days. But as the story progresses, she can overcome those fears. For example, if she was once afraid of a certain type of magic because of something that happened in her past, she could face it and defeat it in the fanfiction, which would be a huge step in her character development.
One possible fanfiction idea could be that Erza decides to cut her hair as a symbol of a new beginning. Maybe she has just overcome a great battle or a personal struggle, and she wants to show that she is a changed person. The haircut could be a short, stylish bob that shocks her guildmates at first but then they grow to love it as it represents Erza's newfound confidence.
