Juvia was born in the साल X767, and spent her childhood shunned द्वारा the other children for constantly making it rain around her. She took up making teru teru bozu गुड़िया in an attempt to make it stop raining, but it only served to make the other children tease her even more.

As she grew older, she would overhear other people commenting on the gloominess of the rain around her, making her feel increasingly depressed. At one point in her life she was in a relationship with Bora, but he broke up with her because he couldn't stand the rain. Eventually, she was accepted into the Phantom Lord Guild, noting that it was the first time anyone had accepted her, and formed a quarter of the guild's elite Mage team: Element 4.
