Sagittarius

Origin

Sagittarius' Gate Key.

Sagittarius is one of the 12 Zodiac Celestial Spirits owned by Lucy who excels in archery. Little is known about his history except that his gate key was in the hands of the villagers of Galuna Island before coming into possession by Lucy as a reward for completing their mission. How and why remains a mystery.

Creation

Sagittarius, a character created by Hiro Mashima, was designed to represent his respective zodiac sign albeit with an added humorous twist in that rather than resembling a centaur, the animal associated with Sagittarius' symbol, he looks like a man in a horse costume.

Character Evolution

Appearance

Lucy corrects Gray about Sagittarius' possible appearance but surprisingly he was right.

After receiving Sagittarius' gate key as a reward for completing their mission, Gray and Natsu imagined what he would look like, with Gray mentally drawing a horse with a human body and Natsu imagining a bizarre flower with octopus limbs which resembles Nakajima from Mashima's previous work, Rave Master. To Lucy's dismay, it seems that Gray was correct, to an extent. Although Sagittarius has a human body, he is not technically a horse. Rather, he is a lanky black-haired man in a horse costume which has a rustic and medieval look. In addition he carries a large bow and quiver on his back.

Personality

Sagittarius is a loyal and compliant spirit who tries to help his master as much as he can. For example, in the Oracion Seis Arc when he was forced to attack Lucy and her allies against his will, he fought to stop himself and tried to disobey Gemini's orders (who was transformed as Lucy) because he knew that she wasn't the real Lucy. And although he had lost against some of Lucy's opponents (i.e. Angel/Gemini, Bixlow, and Kain) he has nonetheless helped Lucy save Natsu several times such as when he shot his arrow, encased in fire, towards the Dragonoid to replenish Natsu's energy. In addition, despite his eccentric look and habit of saying 'moshi moshi' (hello hello) at the end of sentences while maintaining a saluting pose, he is very resourceful and intelligent as shown when he shoots at some electronic machinery to set it aflame for Natsu to eat after learning that the Dragon Slayer needed fire to regain his energy.

Powers & Abilities

Archery

Sagittarius is a master archer who uses bow and arrow as a weapon of choice. He has exceptional targeting skills which enable him to hit his targets with almost perfect accuracy and the speed and strength of his arrows are formidable as shown when he was able to crush Bixlow's dolls easily with his arrows, going right through them without stopping.
