Description
Ooba Babasaama is the Guild Master of Lamia Scale, a prominent legal wizard guild in Fiore. Her advanced age is evident in her wrinkled skin, small eyes, and bony hands, complemented by distinctive stretched earlobes and long gray hair styled in a three-layered bun. She typically wears a cloak with a dotted collar over a dark vest, studded bracelets, and a necklace featuring a sun emblem.
Personality-wise, Ooba exhibits a rash and loud demeanor, frequently berating guild members over perceived shortcomings, particularly Lamia Scale's repeated second-place finishes in the Grand Magic Games. She demands greater effort to make Lamia Scale Fiore's strongest guild, driven by a genuine desire to advance the guild's interests. A notable habit involves continuously spinning her arms in circular motions during moments of agitation or excitement.
Her earliest known appearance is during the Eisenwald arc, observing the battle against Lullaby with other guild masters. In the Grand Magic Games arc, she pushes her guild toward victory, expressing frustration over Lyon Vastia's third-place ranking and Sherry Blendy's support for Ren Akatsuki. She participates directly, joining a swimsuit-clad brawl during Mirajane Strauss and Jenny Realight's match, which distracts participants and alters the event. Ooba displays significant investment in Sherria Blendy's battle against Wendy Marvell, warning of Sherria's lethal spell and later expressing satisfaction with the outcome. She frequently employs her signature Spinning Magic to punish or motivate members, such as spinning Sherry Blendy during discussions about Jura Neekis.
Following the games, Ooba collaborates with other guilds against ten thousand dragons and attends a celebratory palace party, engaging in a brawl over claims to Yukino Agria. In the anime-exclusive Eclipse Celestial Spirits arc, she interacts with Team Natsu during a wizard exchange program, offering to examine Kemokemo with her spinning ability before expelling Fairy Tail members after ancient lithographs are destroyed. During the Tartaros arc, she mobilizes Lamia Scale against the dark guild.
In the Avatar arc, Ooba leads Lamia Scale in a Thanksgiving parade performance in Margaret Town; her attempted oriental dance devolves into an attempted striptease before Lyon intervenes. She later identifies Orochi's Fin's use of a Monster Tamer controlling over 100,000 monsters and assists in repelling the invasion using her Spinning Magic. After the conflict, she humorously offers to replace the "Sky Sisters" while wearing a costume.
In the Alvarez Empire arc, Ooba leads Lamia Scale alongside Mermaid Heel to reclaim Hargeon from Alvarez forces. She confronts enemy soldiers directly, incapacitating them with Spinning Magic and participates in the victory parade. Under her leadership, Lamia Scale achieves recognition as Fiore's third-strongest guild, bolstered by members like Jura Neekis (ranked fifth among the Ten Wizard Saints) and Sherria Blendy (a Sky God Slayer).
Ooba's primary magical ability is Spinning Magic, activated by twirling her finger to force targets into uncontrollable rotation, used both in combat and as discipline. Despite her age, she possesses enhanced agility, demonstrated when evading an attack from the Rock Dragon. Her leadership blends strict discipline with active participation in guild affairs and frontline battles.
