Ikaruga

Ikaruga is the leader of the Trinity Raven, a group of Assasins from Death's Head Caucus.

Appearance
Ikaruga has bright pink hair and wears a white robe with red parts that are held up by a large black belt. She has peach skin and a beauty mark underneath each eye.

Personality
Ikaruga is a calm and collected person. Even in battle she keeps a calm demeanor and a grin on her face. However, she was visibly upset when she though Erza Scarlet was underestimating her.

History
She fought in the Cabria War along with her teammates and killed every ranked officer under the Western Army's command. She has been with the Death's Head Caucus Guild since it's founding and she had not lost a battle until she faced Erza Scarlet.

Tower of Heaven arc
Ikaruga first appeared with her teamates after Natsu Dragneel defeated Millianna and Wally Buchanan. She is then seen when Jellal Fernandes explains the rules of his "game" to Team Natsu, Juvia, Shou, Simon, and Wally.

She confronted Shou as he tried to escape from the Tower of Paradise with Erza Scarlet, who was in card form at the moment, and attacked them out of nowhere. Her attacks unintentionally cut through the dimensional barriers on the cards, and allowed Erza to escape and confront her. Although Erza used her strongest armors, Ikaruga overwhelmed her and destroyed them all.

Eventually Erza changed tact and switched to a normal battle outfit, with no armor. Believing that Erza was not taking her power seriously, Ikaruga decided to kill her, and they crossed swords for the final time. Although Erza sustained a wound on her shoulder, she succeeded in inflicting a mortal wound on Ikaruga, much to the latter's surprise. Before losing consciousness she praised Erza's skill, but warned her that they would all die when the Tower of Heaven was annihilated by Etherion. Her current fate is unknown.
