@zai-doodles did this for me as a comm! it’s my redesign of Yukino’s Libra Stardress + Libra!

Design notes ⬇️

I was never a fan of Libra’s canon color scheme, and her outfit looks more of a sexualized belly dancer than an actual one.

so it was changed to more of a standard one. I gave Libra four arms because I looked up depictions of Libra and found she was often depicted that way, and i thought it was cool. I changed the cloth over her mouth to over her eyes for more of a sense of “fair judgement”, if that makes sense. She’s also one of the tallest zodiac spirits, being taller than Loke.

For Yukino, her design was given more of a modest appearance because I hc her as a practicing Muslim. Also, her canon Libra Dress is fucking ugly.

If your still open to heacanons, do you have any headcanon about the celestial spirits? If you don’t that’s fine, thank you in advance if you do.

What headcanons don't i have lmao

Loke is the leader of the 12 Gates because he was the first one of them to be formed (irl the leo constellation is one of the earliest recognized constellations).

The Spirit King is technically the last of all the celestial spirits to be born. Though he has dominion over all the stars, he didn't gain a form until after all the 12 Zodiacs gained a physical form as he is the amalgamation of their powers and draws energy from them.

What we see of the zodiac spirits isn't their true form (you expect me to believe Loke was a catboy in a suit all these years? Or that Cancer was always wearing slick black pants with a popped collar shirt? Please) All of them have the ability to change their appearance based on how they desire.

Their true form however is how they looked upon initially being formed (for eg. Scorpio being a giant Scorpion, Ares a Ram, and so on) and is when they're at their most powerful with their magic completely unlocked and unrestrained.

Also they're all essentially genderless regardless of how they present (all a bunch of he/theys, she/theys and they/thems. )

Spirits can't exist outside of their realm, prolonged time on earthland will kill them. Which is why the keys were created in the first place. Being bound to a wizard's magic allows for them to take form on earthland without any repercussions in exchange for their services in battle. It also allows them to self summon. (An unbound spirit would dematerialize in a few days to weeks. Loke was an outlier tbh)

Zodiac contracts exist mostly to protect the wizard. Novice wizards can't handle a spirit at full (or even half) power and since they are linked could drain a beginner wizard with just opening their gates alone. Setting the terms such as specific days and how many times a month to be summoned serves to limit any dangers of magical exhaustion on the wizards part. As the wizard gets stronger these terms are reworked so they can be summoned more frequently.

Also as the wizard gets stronger they can get to use more of the spirit's abilities( I would like to believe that Virgo can do more than dig holes, Scorpio can do more just Sand Buster and Ares wool can do more than make peeps sleepy). You know like how in pokemon the better the trainer they can get access to stronger pokemon? Something like that.

If a key contracted to a wizard is lost it'll teleport back to them over some time, just not instantly. The greater the distance the longer it takes to teleport back to them.

There's an alternate way to summon the Spirit King apart from breaking a key. If all 12 spirits are summoned at once he can be brought forth through their combined power.

Certain constellations are visible based on the season, the spirits get a slight power boost if summoned in their respective season (like gemini and taurus is winter, Virgo, Leo and Cancer in Spring for eg.).

Their powers can be 'eclipsed' in 2 different ways. A lunar eclipse weakens theirs powers while a solar eclipse overpowers them and makes them go out of control for the time.

idk if this is where I am to ask but, celestial spirits headcanons? Also Juvia ones?

i went into some more details here, but here’s some more!

Loke and Aries are very close, even before Karen. They often spend time in each other’s temples.

The Gemini spirits are pranksters, but seeing as they are childlike, they never mean to be malicious with anything they do.

Capricorn is often the one who gets them out of trouble, he’s like their babysitter.

All of the Zodiac are protective of them, wanting them to stay childlike and playful.

Aries, Virgo, and Libra are in a poly relationship.

The son of Pisces has a crush on Yukino, but nobody knows but his mother.

She’s advised him against pursing a relationship with a human, because of her own experience. He’ll outlive her thousands of years over.

Aquarius has a secret fondness addiction to human sweets, especially chocolate

Libra is blind & mute. She communicates telepathically with other Spirits and her Key Holder, but she also knows human sign language.

Taurus is a secret softie for plushies. Lucy gifts him some any chance she gets.

Juvia is transfem nonbinary and bi (she/they)

Her birthday is May 5.

She’s 5’4”, but often wears tall boots that make her anywhere from three to six inches taller. She’s a pear shaped and has a bit of fat padding, but not too much.

She never grew out of her gothic phase.

She’s mixed, afrolatina(mom) and Russian(dad). She looks like a perfect mix of them.

She doesn’t communicate with her parents, but they’re both still alive. After they kicked her out, they later wanted to reconnect after her growing popularity in Fairy Tail, but she declined.

She’s autistic.

She’s in a poly relationship with Gajeel and Levy. She was with Gajeel first.

She and Gray are in a platonic relationship and are very close.

She’s very protective of Wendy.

Her sense of taste is very watered down, she barely has a sense of taste.

Tell me about the celestial spirits in your rewrite, are you going to rework the magic?

THANK YOU GREEK I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THEM!!!!!!!!!

rewrite stuff ⬇️

The Silver Spirit keys are the beings born of the Celestial Spirit world. There are hundreds of Spirits for each constellation, each with their own key. They only have one life, and if a Silver Key spirit dies, they will become part of their constellation and their key will turn to dust

The Zodiac were all once like the Silver Keys, but were granted 12 lives. Once a Zodiac Key passes for the 12th time, they are reincarnated. It used to be that the most powerful Silver Key would take their place, but as wizards started to become more powerful, soon, wizards started to outclass Silver Keys. You can read more on it here! If you read this and leave a comment saying you came from this post, I’ll write a drabble of your choosing!

Onto specific spirits!

Aries ♈️

Aries is the second youngest of the Zodiac at this point. She practices wool magic, and part of that is that she can change the physical properties of the wool she handles. For example, she can make the wool solid, liquid, or a gas. She’s at the most powerful during the Aries season in the Human World. Given she is a Fire Sign, she can also use fire magic, though it’s not as powerful as most human fire wizards. She uses a shepard’s staff as a weapon if she requires one, and she can use it to aide her magic.

For the longest time, Aries was a very submissive and shy spirit, and she let her key holders do whatever they wanted to her. This changed after Leo stood up to Karen and subsequently got her killed by Angel, Aries took it upon herself to make sure none of her other friends would suffer because of her weakness. By the time we meet her in canon, Aries is much more outgoing and outspoken to her Key Holder, and very protective of her Silver Keys.

While Leo was gone, she became the “Queen of the Zodiac” and that stuck even after he came back, making her the head of the Zodiac.

Her human name was Mary, and she became the Aries Spirit in the year X272

Taurus ♉️

Taurus uses his Labrys, but he can also use Earth magic. Think Thor with his hammer, that’s kind of what Taurus’s earth magic is like, he needs his Labrys. His Earth magic is very rudimentary, and he can create earthquakes.

He’s not a creepy towards Lucy, he’s very respectful and gentle with her. He wears blue overalls and has a very subtle southern accent.

His human name was Garrett, and he doesn’t remember the year he became the Bull Spirit.

Gemini ♊️

I really like the Eclipse designs for them, so that’s how they look in my rewrite

Being very young human twins, under the age of 10, they are considered lucky to not remember their human lives

The other Zodiac are very protective of them because they’re very easily influenced

They still use Copy/Transformation magic, but they can also use flight magic

Gemi’s human name was Castor, and Mimi’s human name was Aura

One of three spirits that does not have animal traits or attributes

Cancer ♋️

Cancer takes on more of a swordsman appearance than a hairdresser, using one of his blades as a sword, but he can combine them to make big scissors. He picked up hair dressing while serving under Layla and Lucy, though.

His water magic is basically non-existent, but he is considered the most skilled swordsman in the Celestial world

He’s got six arms that he can fold away and can also turn into crab legs.

His human name was Abyl.

Leo ♌️

Leo has feline ears and a tail because i said so.

Leo is the youngest of the zodiac. He became the Lion spirit in the year X344. His human name was Loke.

Leo used Ring magic as a human, which he then translated into Regulus when he became the Leo spirit. He can use Regulus without his rings, and he can use it throughout his whole body, but it’s stronger when channeled through an item.

His rings can take many forms, and he even likes to use brass knuckles sometimes.

His fire magic isn’t really fire magic, but more of a fire hazard. He can light his tail on fire, as well as his hair if he’s in a tight spot, which will likely make an attacker let up.

Virgo ♍️

Virgo isn’t a maid in my rewrite

Her magic is the same as in the original

She’s a shapeshifter and is also, the only spirit with a gender bias. A man could never reincarnate into the Virgo spirit, but if Virgo wanted too, she could appear as a man.

One of three spirits that does not have animal traits or attributes

Her human name was Rosemary.

Libra ♎️

Gravity Magic is a sub category of Air magic, so she can use Air magic just as well, making her very hard to escape from.

One of three spirits that does not have animal traits or attributes

Her human name was Vidya.

Scorpio ♏️

Scorpio’s tail is actually a scorpio’s tail, but it has armor around it that gives the appearance of a cannon.

He uses sand magic like in canon, but he can also use water magic.

Scorpio is not dating Aquarius.

His human name was Ezio.

Sagittarius ♐️

Also like his Eclipse design better than the canon one, so he’s a centaur

His fire magic translates into fire arrows that he can summon and fire without his bow, but it’s easier to aim with the bow.

His human name was Phillip

Capricorn ♑️

Capricorn is the second eldest of the Zodiac.

Capricorn still practices his Human Subordination Magic, but he can also use Earth magic. It’s quite a deadly combination if your magic suddenly stops working and he then smacks you with a big ass rock.

For the longest time, he’s looked down on his Key Holders, but that changed when he met Layla Heartfilia, and again when he met Lucy

His human name has been forgotten

Aquarius ♒️

She’s the oldest of the Zodiac and is rumored to be the original Aquarius

She’s actually the original Ophiuchus, but was punished by the Zodiac King for meddling in human affairs and going to earth without permission

Her constellation was destroyed and she was passed over to the Aquarius constellation despite knowing Air magic instead of water magic

She quickly learned Water magic and uses Air magic for her urn, which she uses to store and transfer all the water stored in it

Pisces ♓️

The mother of the Pisces set has been around a long time, but her son was born and became the Pisces spirit not long before Aries took the mantle

The mother (Eta) was originally partnered with her brother, but he lost all his lives shortly before her son (Omicron) was born

He became the second Pisces, but he was originally half human because Eta had a relationship with one of her old Key Holders

Both practices water magic

Omicron was named after his late uncle and has always had that name

Eta’s human name was Calypso
