Parasol Tree

Biodata

History

Riyao planted a branch from a Tenrou Tree trunk at his estate and named it the Parasol Tree. Using Life Magic, a potion, magic power and life energy, he grew it into a waist-high sapling over four hours 72.

During Fairy Tail’s conflict with Phantom Lord, the tree extended its roots from the estate to the guild and supplied the members with healing energy. After the battle, its roots shifted the guild’s damaged pillars, bringing the ruins down during Fairy Tail’s appeal for compensation 127 131.

Against Tartaros, the tree grew from Riyao Manor to Underworld Island, enveloped it and pulled it downward while draining its life energy. Riyao later used it to absorb five dragons and Silver; the dragons subsequently awakened in eggs within its canopy 419 442 461.

Riyao later forged the tree into a dragon-slaying weapon by combining several incompatible powers within it. Its spear form pierced Acnologia’s heart, after which Riyao used Rebirth to grow the tree around him, enclosing his body in an emerald cocoon 514 520 524.

The enormous tree stood offshore near Hargeon Harbor after the battle, attracting tourists and sea creatures. Riyao later moved it to the sea outside Fairy Tail’s guild in Magnolia with a mayor-authorized permit; a floating market subsequently developed around it 528 530 537 538.

Appearance

The tree began as a waist-high sapling with tender green leaves. Its size and form later became highly variable, ranging from a palm-sized tree to a giant whose crown reached into the clouds 72 482 528.

• At Hargeon, it had a golden-green silhouette, mountain-thick roots beneath the seabed and broad leaves that refracted rainbow-like halos 528.
• Its roots have appeared golden and given off a warm glow when carrying healing energy 127.
• Its canopy can accommodate broad branches, leafy shelters and a platform with a treehouse 530 545.

Abilities & Skills

Healing and support

The Parasol Tree distributes life energy to heal and strengthen others over a wide area.

• Its roots reached Fairy Tail’s guild, relieving fatigue and lingering aches during the Phantom Lord conflict 127.
• During the Tartaros battle, Fairy Tail members recovered magic rapidly and healed minor wounds. Before the battle, Riyao used the tree to cast Ceaseless Life, which pushed fighters beyond their normal endurance; when the spell ended, they collapsed in pain 419 442.
• Riyao used it to channel life magic through Magnolia’s ley lines to his companions during the Alvarez assault 482.
• Near Hargeon, its life aura relieved fatigue, aches and illnesses, but also drew giant sea creatures to the harbor 528 530.

Growth and branch manipulation

The tree can rapidly change size and extend or reshape its branches and roots.

• It wrapped Underworld Island in branches, drained its life energy and dragged it toward the ground. Ur helped control it while synchronized in her wooden puppet body 419.
• It can shrink small enough for Riyao to hold in his palm 482.
• Its branches have carried passengers across the sea, formed leafy shelters and restrained or thrown people 528 530 533 539.
• A rope made from its branches and trunk, connected to the whole tree, resized with Makarov and regenerated faster than Gildarts could destroy it 272.

Absorption and rebirth

The tree can contain beings and sustain them in altered forms.

• It absorbed five dragons and Silver after the Tartaros battle; the dragons later awakened inside five eggs in its canopy 442 461.
• Six gourds in its crown held Irene, August, Larcade, Mavis, Zeref and Acnologia 528.
• Its life force restored Irene to a human child’s body and washed away her Dragon Force. August and Larcade also emerged as boys, followed later by Mavis and Zeref 535 539 545.
• Green light concealed the bodies of people emerging from the gourds 545.

Weapon forms

Riyao can use the tree as a weapon as well as a support structure.

• Its branches formed the All-Creation Giant Dragon, a wooden dragon that fired a cyan magical torrent 485.
• Riyao forged the tree using powers including life, death, space-time, desire and Dragon Force. In spear form, it concentrated power to pierce Acnologia’s scales 514 519 520.
• The spear reverted to the golden tree inside Acnologia, growing through his body and forming an emerald cocoon 524.

Related Creations

• Holy Healing Parasol Tree — A separate tree Riyao grew from a seven-colored seed after the Dragon King Festival. More than 200 meters tall, it healed the wounded across the royal capital before withering and shrinking back into its seed 376.
• The Sun — Riyao’s airship, whose hull was made from a section of the Parasol Tree’s branch. A small parasol tree stood at its stern and emitted a green halo as the ship accelerated 478.

Relationships

• Riyao — Creator of the tree and its primary controller. Their life energies share a source, and the tree can signal him through their connection 72 528 539.
• Mirajane — Shares authority over the tree; she ordered it to throw rumor-spreading guild members from its canopy 539.
• Mavis — Frequently watched the manor from its branches. The tree allowed her to travel quickly from Tenrou Island; Riyao speculated that its roots retained a connection to the Sacred Tree, but did not know for certain 259.
• Ur — Helped control the tree against Underworld Island; synchronizing with it caused her wooden puppet body to glow and sprout flowers and grass 419.
