Virgo

Virgo, "The Maiden", is a Celestial Spirit that is one of the 12 Golden Zodiac Keys. Her key is currently owned by Lucy Heartfilia and formerly owned by Duke Everlue.

Appearance
Virgo takes the form of a maid with shackles around her wrists, short, pink hair, and blue eyes. She wears a typical black and white maid's outfit. When she was with the Duke of Everlue, she was of an extremely tall stature and overweight with a brutish face and two pony tails; Natsu referred to her as "Gorilla Maid". Now that she is under Lucy's care, she has a more typical appearance of beauty with a petite body. In the Lullaby arc, it is shown she can resume her previous form if Lucy requires.

Personality
Virgo has a tendency to ask whether she should be punished after she has done something regardless of if it was good or bad, possibly indicating that she's a masochist. This is a little ironic, since she is the Maiden. She is very stiff in her movements and is very loyal to her owner, even so much she changes her appearance for them. She enjoys calling Lucy "Princess"(姫 Hime).

Daybreak arc
During Lucy and Natsu's mission to retrieve and destroy the book Daybreak, Duke Everlue sends the biggest and most brutish of his maids (referred to as the "Gorilla Maid") to stop the duo from escaping with the book. Lucy, sensing the book is not what it seems, tells Natsu to fend off the maid while she learns the secret of the book. Duke Everlue tries to steal the book back, but when Lucy fights back, he summons Virgo, who turns out to be a maid who was left to fight Natsu, and inadvertently Natsu as well, who hitchhiked with Virgo through the Celestial Spirit World (an unheard act that is forbidden to humans and considered lethal to attempt since there is no air in the Celestial Spirit World). Natsu, with Lucy's help, defeats Virgo.

Lullaby arc
Lucy and her friends are unable to nullify the Magic Wind Wall when Kageyama is severely injured. When Natsu suggests using Celestial Spirits to bypass the wall through the Celestial Spirit World, Lucy rejects the idea while Happy reveals that he has Virgo's key. With Duke Everlue's arrest, Virgo decided that their contract was null and decided to give her key to Lucy. While Lucy is initially reluctant to accept, Happy reminds her that Virgo is capable of diving underground, which may allow them to go under the Magic wall to the other side. Lucy accepts and is stunned that Virgo, when summoned, takes the form of a petite and pretty maid who apologizes for causing trouble during their previous encounter. Virgo explains that out of loyalty for her owner, she changes her appearance according to their wishes. When Lucy suggests that their contract be arranged later and orders her to dive underground to create a hole to allow Lucy, Natsu, and the Mages escape the Wind Wall and upon emerging on the other side, she protects Lucy's undergarments from being seen, though has little regard for her own.

Galuna Island arc
Lucy summons Virgo to use the Celestial Spirit's diving ability to create holes for traps. When Lucy compliments Virgo's ability, Virgo believes that Lucy is punishing her until Lucy shouts that she was praising Virgo. Virgo also makes use of her diving ability to capture the Chief of Galuna Island and save him from being killed by the poison jelly dumped over the village.

Tower of Heaven arc
Virgo is briefly used to defeat some Tower of Heaven Guards, having all of them infatuated. She also provides Lucy with new clothes from the Spirit World.

Oración Seis arc
Virgo helps Lucy get into the Love & Lucky guild by digging a hole underground into the guild.

After Lucy defeats Angel, she and Natsu tumble over a waterfall. When Lucy awakens, she finds Virgo has appeared without Lucy summoning her and has tended to Lucy and Natsu's injuries as well as provided them with new clothes. Lucy, while grateful, worries that her Magic must be low since Virgo not only came by herself but also used her own Magic power to do so without using Lucy's.

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

Virgo is summoned to battle Daphne's Lizardmen. While Virgo has a quick battle with it underground, she has great difficultly defeating it. When she returns to the surface she is dismissed as the task was too difficult for her.

Edolas arc
Virgo was summoned by Lucy in place of Leo while trying to hijack a flying ship belonging to the Edolas Royal Army. Virgo then explains that Leo was currently out on a date and could not be summoned. Lucy told her to go away after she told Lucy she could only dance as of the moment.

Lucy summons her later again to fight Byro. Virgo first surprises Byro by popping out from underground and punching his jaw. Then, she immediately sinks him down into the ground with an attack called Spica Hole. After Byro consumes his Octopus Liquid, Virgo gives Lucy a Celestial Spirit weapon called Fleuve d'étoiles to use.

Tenrou Island arc
During the S-Class Trials, Lucy summons Virgo to battle Bickslow and Freed. In this appearance, she was dressed in a frilly bikini, to capitalize on Freed's weakness to women in swim suits. However, she did very little and was easily defeated by Bickslow's dolls.

She appears later when she provides Lucy and Wendy with clothing from the Celestial Spirit World.

X791 arc
While Natsu and the others are starting to train, Virgo comes with news that the Celestial Spirit World is in crisis, so she needs their help. Lucy contradicts this saying that humans cannot enter the Spirit World. Virgo says that they can go if they wear Celestial clothing. When they reach there, she and all the other spirits reveal that this was just a trick for them to come to the Celestial World and party for coming back after seven years. They party for a whole day. When it is finished, she informs that one day in the Celestial World means three months in the real world, thus all the Mages had wasted their three months of training. She later summons herself to the human world and, while punishing herself, asks Lucy to punish her more for not telling her about the time difference. Lucy, however, ignores her and tells her to return home.
