Laki Olietta

Laki Olietta is a 25-year-old Mage of Fairy Tail who uses wood-based Magic, and can instantly reshape wood into a form of her choice.

Appearance
Laki is a slim young woman of average height distinguished by her straight, bright lavender hair kept in a bowl cut-like style, with a fringe covering the left part of her forehead, and the right one remaining exposed. She was also shown sporting longer hair on other instances, with two bangs framing her face and her forehead covered by a central fringe. She has dark eyes, and a large, dark-coloured ribbon adorning the top of her head. She is always shown wearing a pair of glasses with oval lenses. After the 7-years timeskip, the only noticeable change in her appearance is the hair, which is reminiscent of her previous long cut, but wavier, and has two long bangs framing her face and going down to her shoulders, and a triangular tuft covering her forehead. Her ribbon now marks the spot where Laki’s hair is tied in a long ponytail, reaching down to her middle back.

Laki’s first outfit was composed of a light-coloured coat reaching down below her waist, with dark cuffs retaining the original colour on their back edges, a dark cravat tie around the collar, tight-fitting dark pants tucked inside light-coloured boots with dark soles, and light gloves. She also had a small, dark satchel adorned by a pair of small hearts hanging on her right hip, seemingly attached to her waist. As of year X791, Laki sports a light-coloured mantle, held closed on the front by a ring, over a strapless, dark dress, with a revealing neckline and a series of light-coloured squares adorning its lower part, which has a light belt circling it around Laki’s waist, with three bullet-like objects attached to it on the left side, and dark boots.

Personality
She likes glasses and wears them as well, and she has a dislike for perverts. Laki also has funny ways of expressing herself, for example she refers to getting a haircut as "chopping hair", eating as "feeding your stomach", and sleeping as "whittling away the defenseless hours".

She seems to have a slightly sadistic side, as she keeps a large amount of torture devices on her room in Fairy Hills.

History
In the "Welcome to Fairy Hills!! OVA", A younger version of Laki is shown to have lived at Fairy Hills from at least the age of 12.

Phantom Lord arc
In the Anime, it was shown, along with other members of the FT, when they attacked the Phantom Lord to avenge Levy, Jet and Droy. Many of her attacks and spells aroused consternation among its opponents, which did not affect their performance. Later, when they defending guild building from destruction by Jose's Shades, she noticed that the Phantom MK II, which casts Abyss Break moves "Turtle-ish", which means slower.

Due to her wood-based Magic, she helped a lot with the rebuilding of the Fairy Tail Guild after it was vandalized by the Phantom Lord Guild, but some of her proposals might seem a bit surprising (like a strange sculpture of few muscular men).

Fighting Festival arc
She cuts down her hair, which make other girl members of the guild jealous, thinking that she could have participated in Miss Fairy Contest.

During the Fighting Festival, she is seen fighting some other female members of the guild and gets defeated by Mickey Chickentiger (in Manga) or Bickslow (along whit Nab Lasaro; in Anime).

Daphne arc (Anime only)
Note: Events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

Laki along with the other members of Fairy Tail, arrive to combat the Dragonoid and stop it from crushing Erza Scarlet.

x791 arc
Seven years after the destruction of Tenrou Island, the guild is reduced into a small tavern with only a few members remaining, one of which is Laki. While in the guild, Laki approaches Jet and Droy and begins to pick on Droy for gaining weight. Jet joins in and compares Droy to Reedus, whose body is now slim. Droy ignores his comment and tells him that he has been working out everyday but Jet continues to pick on him and asks him what would Levy say if she saw him. Hearing this, Droy shouts out that Levy is not coming back, silencing everyone inside the guild, including himself. Suddenly, a group of men from the rival guild, Twilight Ogre, enters the guild and begins to demand for payment for the debt that the fairies owe them, but the new master, Macao, tells them that they were unable to collect enough money for the payment. The group then leaves after trashing the guild and promises to return next month for the rent.

After the group left, everyone in the guild notices Reedus' sketch book, littered on the floor. The sketch book contains Reedus' sketch of the guild members back when the guild was strong and complete. Seeing this, everyone in the guild begin to grief and reminisce what has happened since the disappearance of their comrades. Suddenly, the guild hears a sound and everyone heads outside only to see Blue Pegasus's Christina. The Trimens then gets off the Magic Bomber and informs the guild that they have detected something in the Eternano waters and that Tenrou Island still exists.

Laki decides to stay behind while some of the guild members go to find the missing members. While waiting, the guild is visited by Teebo and his gang who demands payment for the Fairy Tail guild's debt. Romeo gets irritated with the group and starts a fight. However, the fight is interrupted by the arrival of the missing members who quickly defeat the members of Twilight Ogre. Seeing the missing members, Laki and the others begin to cry tears of joy.

She has a good relationship with Lucy and Levy. The hardest job she has ever taken, in her own words, is to do a photo shoot in swimsuit for the Sorcerer Magazine. "In swimsuit?! I'm never doing it again."

 * When fighting in Phantom Lord arc, her attack names were irritating to a degree that even the enemies Laki attacked expressed their confusion, which allowed her an easy victory.
