Ur

Ur was the teacher of Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia, as well as mother to Ultear Milkovich. She sacrificed her body to freeze the demon Deliora and now lives as the water flowing in the sea around Galuna Island when the Iced Shell was melted.

Ur's power was so great that it is said she could have been one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Nonetheless, in a flashback, she mentioned to Lyon that there are a lot of much more powerful Mages than her in the Western countries.

History
During the Galuna Island arc, it is learned from flashbacks that Gray and Lyon had a teacher. After she lost her daughter and after her husband left her, she went to live in the mountains. Lyon was her first pupil, but took Gray in as her second pupil after Gray's home and town was destroyed by Deliora. After some difficulties, the two began to bond and Ur saw both Lyon and Gray as her own children. Some believe she took them in to replace her dead daughter, but she denies this, and thinks in them as their beloved pupils. Because she used to take care of two kids, the others thought she was their mother, which was why men didn't approach her. She didn't seem to care about that, though, which was seen in a flashback where she stormed away angrily after a owner of a shop told her it was time to start thinking about her own happiness.

When Gray ran off to defeat Deliora on his own and to avenge his deceased parents, Ur intervened. It was then that she told Gray the two of them were everything she needed to be happy, and that she came to get that happiness back. Then, she used the Iced Shell ability to seal Deliora forever, but using this spell would cause her to become ice. Since Lyon was unconscious, she made Gray promise to tell Lyon that she was dead, though her body was just becoming ice. She believed that Lyon would try to unfreeze her so he could fight her and be recognized as superior, which was Lyon's life long goal.

Eventually, during the present day, Lyon succeeded in unfreezing Deliora with the Moon Drip, and Ul's ice body melted into the sea, where she continues to watch over her beloved pupils.

Later, it was also revealed that her daughter, Ultear, is still alive but she thought of her mother as weak.
