Kinana (キナナ Kinana) is a member of the Fairy Tail Guild and the former pet of Oración Seis member, Cobra.[2] Unlike most other members of Fairy Tail, she joined the guild as an employee rather than a Mage.[1]

Appearance

Kinana as Cuberos with her former owner, Cobra

While known as "Cuberos", she took the form a giant snake with violet scales and an egg shell-colored belly. Her eyes are green with black pupils,[3] and is almost always in her basic snake form. In battle, however, she can spread out a pair of bat-like wings, allowing Cobra to use her as airborne transportation.[4]

In her human form, Kinana is a relatively petite girl with violet-colored hair and green eyes, with a round head. 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. Seven years later, her appearance seems to have changed as she has grown much taller and her bust is bigger. Her hair is much 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".[5] 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[6], showing her willingness to risk her own safety even without the ability to properly use Magic.

History

Kinana after she transformed back into a human

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.[1] She also said that she has made a promise with her friend - even if they would separate, he would ride a shooting star to come back for her.[7] After Makarov turned her back, she signed up to become an employee of the Fairy Tail Guild. Makarov did this to keep an eye on her if she ever regained her memory, as if she did, something terrible could happen to her. Besides Makarov, only Macao Conbolt, Wakaba Mine and Mirajane Strauss know of Kinana's transformation.[7]
