Ikaruga (Fairy Tail)

How Ikaruga joined the Tourney
Ikaruga first appeared with her teammates 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 Lockser, Shô, Simon, and Wally. Later, she confronted Shô as he tried to escape from the Tower of Heaven 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, allowing 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 so 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.

After the Trinity Raven assassins escaped through Fukuro's rockets, Ikaruga takes on a new order to kill the Furious Five. Fukuro would hunt Viper and Tigress, Vidaldus Taka would take Monkey and Mantis, while ikaruga would hunt down Crane.

Ebisu Warp Sword (Up)
Ikaruga warps upward and jumps down doing a circular slash.

Yasha's Empty Flash (Down)
Ikaruga slashes with extreme precision and is able to slice whatever they are attacking without touching it with a blade.

Yama's Execution (Hyper Smash)

Oya Dance (Final Smash)
Ikaruga glows Mugetsu-Ryu red and does a spin slash. If she hits, she follows by doing a series of sword slashes then after twenty-five slashes, she kicks the opponent back, glows her sword blue, then rushes at him/her and cuts through the enemy, knocking him/her away.
