Appearance

• — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — •

Icarus has the ability to transform into two alternative forms depending on how he feels and what Luna needs from him. Both forms can be used for combat, but his Spirit Form can be used for transportation while his Dog Form is suitable for day-to-day interaction.

Spirit Form

Icarus appears as a large wolfish canine with a thick and coarse white short-haired fur coat, though he has the husky quality of a curled and fluffed tail. His claws are neatly trimmed and his canines are sharp to the touch. He has carrot atop his nose; however, unlike Plue, his carrot top is exceptionally pointy and can be used as a horn in combat. He can also conjure his own blanket and saddle for transportation. His Celestial Spirit mark is on his right flank.

Dog Form

Icarus appears as a husky-malamute-Akita mixture with medium length white fur. The carrot top on his nose becomes rather dull and rounded almost like a novelty. Unlike his Spirit Form, he cannot conjure a collar for himself or a harness. His Celestial Spirit mark is still on his right flank.


Personality

• — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — •

Icarus is a wise and old canine who offers sage advice whether you ask for it or not. He is steeped in the culture of many different groups of people and animals and has a deep and fierce loyalty to the Heartfilia Clan. Unlike most silver Key Celestial Spirits, Icarus is powerful enough to conjure his own gate due to his personal oath to continue to serve the Heartfilia Clan with or without a contract. He loves Luna dearly as his own pup and often refers to her as such or as his cub and serves as her advisor and friend more than a pet like Plue. He uses many canine analogies such as den and littermate. He is known to hate collars and leashes and crates, but he tolerates human customs. He has a comical love for human food, especially red meat. Even though Celestial Spirits do not need human food to serve and receive nutrients in the Celestial Spirit World, it can be assumed the more time a Celestial Spirit spends in the human world, the more human food consumption they will need. Though, he really does love his bacon as well as belly scratches and being called a "good boy".

It would seem in the past, Icarus implies he was a different Spirit who was not as wise or courageous.


Magic and Abilities

Transformation Magic

Icarus has mentioned and has displayed he can transform swiftly between his Dog Form and Spirit Form. He has implied he can take a human form should Luna desire it. In the past, he preferred his Spirit Form; however, in the present, he prefers his Dog Form as it is more convenient for travel, sleeping on Luna's bed, and belly scratches.

Telepathy

Icarus' telepathic prowess is vast. He is capable of breaking down mental barriers without trying as well as easily detecting the emotions of a person or creature's mind without prying into their thoughts. He can communicate via telepathy through his key as well.

Enhanced Agility

Icarus has a tremendous amount of agility and can swiftly lobby through obstacles and impending attacks in a breeze.

Master Combat Skills

Regardless of being on four legs, Icarus has trained extensively in canine combat and sharpens his skills constantly.

Enhanced Durability

Icarus can take a great amount of damage before he is forced to return to the Celestial Spirit World to heal.

Enhanced Intelligence

Icarus has shown he has great knowledge of language, culture, psychology, and physiology and often gives this wisdom to Luna. He is greatly in-tune with her emotions.

Enhanced Speed

Icarus has shown he can increase his speed, though not to the speed of Dash or Jet. He can go above the average wolf or dog.

Enhanced Strength

Icarus has great strength and can carry the combined weight of Luna and Gale Redfox alongside their luggage. He has mentioned, however, he cannot be surprised by such weight as he is not as young as he once was.

Enhanced Senses

As a Beast Celestial Spirit with no natural human counterpart, Icarus has all six senses enhanced, alert, and sharp.


Trivia

• — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — •

→ Icarus was always intended to become Luna's Celestial Spirit. However, there was a debate in his introduction date. His introduction date was moved up to the Festival of Gratitude Arc.

→ There are no known records of Icarus having a previous owner. This may be because, due to his personal oath to the Heartfilia Clan, he never required an owner. Luna could very well be the first contract Icarus has made, at least in the last couple of centuries.

→ Luna had to take Icarus to Pet Plus to get fitted for his collar and harness, get microchipped and licensed, as well as groomed (much to his dismay) and vaccinated. While Icarus has firmly stated Celestial Spirits are immune to any and all terran disease, in order for him to be her pet dog in public, he had to get shots to have medical records. He is also registered as a service dog for visual and auditory impairments and psychiatric disorders or illnesses.

→ Icarus has implied he was a different dog and hinted he once had a relationship with a Sun Spirit. This may be in reference to the legend of Icarus, son of craftsman Daedalus, who both attempted an escape using wax and feathered wings. This Icarus flew too close to the sun and his wings melted for then he fell into the sea.

→ Icarus can read and speak in several languages. He also has a photographic memory and hyperthymesia or the ability to recall every detail of his life. This condition is normal among Golden Key Celestial Spirits, but it is rare for Silver Key Celestial Spirits. This shows Icarus' power in his Clifford class.
