Maximov Xeras

"The mad prophetic queen."

- Zeta

Xeras Maximov (ゼラス·マキシモフ, Zerasu Makishimofu) is a member of the Notch Pirates and a close friend of its captain, Freyja — acting as her personal oracle and one of her advisors. She was originally the Queen of the before she was overthrown by her people and forced into exile upon discovering the mysertious nature of her "divinations" — which they believed would befall their kingdom. Though she's not as active as of prior, she still helps out the crew combat-wise and financially, profiting off her divinations.

As a "gypsy", she goes under the alias of Carmilla (カーミラ, Kāmira) — an ode to her only friend in the kingdom shortly before her premature demise by her own people. Her fortune-telling skills are so renowned that she bears the alias of "Animusphere Yggdmillennia" (, lit. "Mad Gypsy Queen Dyed Black"), something the Marines used to connect her background with her powerful link to otherworldly forces that grant her such accuracy — branding her a credible future threat.

Quotes

 * (Xeras' beliefs on fate) "If there's one thing I know its absolute it's fate. People often believe that fate can be changed, but that's partially true; all they can really do is alter its course. Though things didn't go as intended, that fate is still a possibility and can still come about. After all, in comparison to this primordial force, we are but its captives in its intricate web."
 * (About her crew) "To be honest, I'm not sure what to think of our crew. Although we're pirates, I feel like we're something much more significant than that. I can't seem to put my finger on it, but I know for a fact that it's not something like a family or an organization. I dunno, it's just an afterthought after ruling for so long. I just have an eye for these things."
 * (Xeras' catchphrase) "Your fate is in the cards!"
 * (To Freyja) "Give me a time, place, and motive. I'll handle the rest."
 * (Xeras on the accuracy of her readings) "All I know is that everytime my cards make a prediction, it turns out to be true. There hasn't been a single time where my readings were inaccurate. How do you think I got that ridiculous nickname everyone seems to call me by these days?"

Trivia

 * According to the author, she's considered a "more honorable Chihaya Mifune" from the game, Persona 5.
 * In addition, she's more linked to Elizabeth — one of the author's favorite characters in the Persona franchise because of her free-spirited and silly nature which beguiles her power. This is seen with Xeras' quote "Your fate is in the cards", the former's signature quote before entering battle.


 * This character was based on a concept that the author's friend, HB did sometime back on Fairy Tail Fanon, which the author took a liking to for personal reasons. In a sense, this article is a re-worked version of that.
