Ophiuchus (Eclipse)


 * For Ophiuchus' normal form see Ophiuchus.

Eclipse Ophiuchus (オフィウクス Ofiukusu), "The Snake Charmer" (蛇遣い Hebizukai), is the Eclipse form of the Celestial Spirit Ophiuchus whose Gate is referred to as the "13th Gate". Her key is currently owned by Yukino Aguria, but the contract was severed, causing Ophiuchus, along with the rest of the Zodiac, to rebel.

Appearance
Eclipse Ophiuchus' appearance is that of a slender, well-endowed young woman with blue eyes and shoulder length dark blonde hair. She wears a typical nurse outfit, consisting of a white dress and cap with dark gold trimmed sleeve and buttons. She also wears a badge with the Ophiuchus constellation's symbol on it. She also sports a long black armband (on her left arm) covered in dark gold spikes that extends to her middle finger.

Eclipse Ophiuchus' true form is that of a giant black snake (similar in appearance to her normal form) with a red underside that has spikes jutting out from the side. She has red horns on the top of the snake head which connects together with a gold ring that houses a floating orb at the center; her lower jaw is golden in color. The upper body of her humanoid form is merged with the face area (which has a pair of blue eyes); her hair is no longer well-kept and instead flows free and messily.

Personality
Ophiuchus is a slightly sadistic individual who, according to herself, is a "nasty nurse" that enjoys making healthy people sick, evidenced by her repeated torturing of Natsu, Wendy, Happy and Carla with various medical instruments. She has also exhibited a mild amount of hubris, putting out that she is the "administrator" of Astral Spirytus, and used her position as such to try put Natsu down. However, this all appears to be a ruse, as when she adopted her true form she became much more serious and cryptic, and adopts an evil, sinister demeanor, which is drastically different from her nurse persona.

Whilst in her nurse persona, she also ends her sentences with the suffix "-denasu".

Eclipse Celestial Spirits arc
Note: Events in this arc occur only in the anime and do not constitute canon material. Whilst Natsu, Wendy, Happy and Carla are searching for Leo, Ophiuchus appears before them by attacking with thermometers; she explains the origin of the Ophiuchus constellation and that she is present because several unexpected things have occurred. Making a move, she attacks the group with her Chart Cutter and Magic Stethoscopes, using the latter to hurt the group's eardrums by screaming into them after she explains that she is the administrator of Astral Spirytus and that she can control everything within it. She then continues her "treatment" by attacking them with a tongue depressor, ripping band-aids off of them, and giving them a dental treatment. After, she explains to them that she's a nurse who wants to make healthy people sick and attacks them with her Ophiuchus Shower before summoning three robots, proclaiming to them that she's going to start getting serious.

A little later, Ophiuchus summons an operating table that straps down Wendy and Carla; she tries to grab Natsu and merges his feet to the ground around them to stop him from running, however Happy grabs him and pulls him away, which allows him to rescue Carla and Wendy from the operating table. Before she can do more, Leo arrives and dismisses her, as Liberum is ready to be performed. Then, after Leo changes their location to a rocky area, Ophiuchus reappears in her true form, one of a giant red serpent, and reveals that Astral Spirytus is her very body; she tells Leo, as he readies Liberum, that he is very diligent, as well as referring to him as the Celestial Spirit King.

As Leo performs Liberum, Ophiuchus lets off a devilish grin, especially when he explains that she was the one who told him about both methods of performing the ritual; after Leo is sealed by Natsu, Ophiuchus begins to chant a prayer.
