Why does Mavis have wings in her hair?


She looks cute and all, but why does she have wings sprouting from her roots.
Are they supposed to help her with something?

I would have to vote for the hair accessory theory. And, we know from the
_Fairy Tail Zero_ arc that she always wanted to meet a fairy. So, fairy wing
headband, with the headband part hidden in the hair? For most of the _Fairy
Tail Zero_ arc, she is shown with her hair wings. But in episode 97, shortly
after learning magic, she re-introduces herself as "Black Magic Mavis" .

After casting "Law" in episode 98 and 99, she is unconscious and in bed with
her tattered clothes having been changed and no hair adornments.

After she regains consciousness, I don't believe we ever see her again without
her hair wings as far as I can recall except in some flashbacks to her youth
in the last episode of the _Fairy Tail Zero_ arc, episode 100.
