Kinana

Kinana (キナナ Kinana) is a member of the Fairy Tail Guild, and the former pet of Oración Seis member, Cobra. Unlike most other members of Fairy Tail, she joined the guild as an employee rather than as a Mage.

Appearance
When she was transformed into a giant snake, her back was covered by violet scales, and she sported an egg shell-colored belly. Her eyes were green with black pupils. She was almost always in her basic snake form, but in battle, she spread a pair of bat-like wings, which allowed Cobra to use her as a flying means of transportation.

In her human form, Kinana is a relatively short girl with violet-colored hair and green eyes. Her attire consists of a light green dress that is designed with white and green laces and a green ribbon attached on her chest. She also has a light green ribbon which she wears on her head. After the 7-years timeskip, her appearance seems to have change and has grown much taller and her bust is bigger. Her hair is quite longer than before. Kinana's new attire consists of a lime green-colored dress with a green neckline and trim and also a long white skirt. She is also seen wearing green boots.

Personality
Kinana has a habit of ending all her sentences with "-kina". She has a very quiet and mild-mannered personality, eager to help out at the guild when she can. When her comrades are in danger, she is willing to go as far as to meekly throw rocks at her enemies, showing her willingness to risk her own safety even though she doesn't have and still learning Take Over Magic.

History
When she was young, she was turned into a snake by an evil Mage. She was turned back by Makarov after he realized that she was actually a human. Kinana had no recollection of being a snake when she was first turned back, but recently, her memory as a snake has slowly resurfaced, in which she hears a voice asking to hear her thoughts.

Oracion Seis arc
"Cuberos" appeared with her owner, Cobra, when Oracion Seis confronted the Light Team. When she and Cobra engaged Erza Scarlet in battle, Racer distracts Erza, allowing Cuberos to bite her, thus poisoning her.

When Nirvana's second stage was activated, she is seen with Cobra stopping Natsu Dragneel and Happy from reaching Brain. The two teams engage in a midair battle above Nirvana. She did not do anything after Cobra's defeat, leaving her fate at the time unknown.

Tenrou Island arc
Kinana later joins the Fairy Tail guild as a waitress, helping Mirajane with her work. While serving drinks, she laughs along with other guild members when she hears about Natsu Dragion, Natsu's Edolas counterpart. She later watches Erza Scarlet and Pantherlily's sparring battle and comments that it's dangerous. The next day, she is present during the announcement of the participants for the year's S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial.

X791 arc
Seven years after the destruction of Tenrou Island, the guild is reduced into a small tavern with only few members remaining, one of which is Kinana. She now runs the bar of the Second Fairy Tail Building. After the return of the members of Fairy Tail that went in Tenrou Island, Makarov inquires into Kinana's well being, with Kinana replying that she still can't remember much of her past, but that she keeps hearing a kind voice asking to hear her thoughts.

Key of the Starry Sky arc

Kinana watches while Lucy and Natsu practice dancing for their upcoming job with Romeo Conbolt, Mirajane and Happy. When Romeo mistakes Social Dancing as a game where you step on people's feet, Kinana corrects him by saying that's not the aim. When other members of Fairy Tail get in on the dance practice, Romeo invites her to dance with him, which she accepts. When Lucy Heartfilia becomes invisible due to an expired lotion, she is present at the guild where she participates in painting Lucy's face. After Lucy returns to normal, she is hit by the invisibility potion when Happy accidentally drops it on everyone.

She is then weakened by Earthland Sugarboy's Slime Magic.
