Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail is a guild of mages that all of the protagonists belong to. Makarov is the master of the guild. Although it is one of the strongest guilds shown in the series, most other mages do not think highly of it due to members' habits of destroying property while completing a job. It has been said that everyone in Fairy Tail carries the wounds of a sad past. After Fairy Tail's war with rival guild Phantom Lord, Gazille Reitfox and Lluvia Loxar join Fairy Tail. Members typically regard each other as family. The also revolves around this mage guild.

List of Main Characters

Natsu Dragonil


Natsu Dragonil (ナツ ドラグニル, Natsu Doraguniru?) is the main male character of the series. His partner is Happy. Natsu has a carefree and reckless nature and constantly bickers with other members of the guild. He has a competitive relationship with frequent teammates Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet; Gray tends to insult Natsu, prompting frequent skirmishes, while Erza, an S-class mage, represents a way for Natsu to prove how strong he is. Despite his reckless and headstrong nature, Natsu is a skilled tactician and pick up on an opponent's abilities and weaknesses very quickly. He is also vehemently loyal to Fairy Tail, and does not allow anyone to sully its name. Natsu suffers from motion sickness from all modes of transportation, including trains, carriages, and people carrying him on their back.

Natsu's nickname is "Salamander", and he is often recognized by his red rosy hair, scale-skin scarf, and fire magic. He was raised by the dragon, Igneel, who taught him how to talk, write, and use an ancient style of magic known as "Dragon Slayer". Due to using fire-related magic, Natsu can eat any flame other than his own for nourishment. He can emit fire from any part of his body. The size and power of the flame is a direct result of Natsu's mood, so when properly motivated in a battle he is recognized as one of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail. During the series Natsu consumes some Aetherion, captured in solid form in a magic crystal, which greatly improves his abilities; his skin becomes scaly, his speed increases, and the strength of his fire is greatly increased. Natsu's age is unknown, for he, as well as Gazille, was unable to pass through an enchantment barrier with an eighty-year old age limit.It is unclear why this is so, and Natsu himself even questions the matter.

Happy


Happy (ハッピー, Happī?) is a blue, talking cat with the ability to use magic. Series creator Hiro Mashima was originally going to name him "Freyr" after the Norse god, but didn't think it fit his character. Although he is a cat he is full fledged member of Fairy Tail, and enjoys going on jobs involving fish (which is a recurring subject of omake chapters). In keeping with his name he is generally quite happy, and is more cool-headed than his partner, Natsu. One type of special ability magic called "Aera" allows Happy to temporarily grow wings on his back and fly, but he can only carry one person in this form. This is the only kind of transportation that does not give Natsu motion sickness. When asked why, Natsu exclaims that Happy is a friend, not a means of transportation. Happy emerged from an egg found by Natsu in the forest, and with the help of Lisana, Mirajane and Elfman's younger sister, they took care of the egg, hoping a dragon would emerge. The egg was taken by Elfman, who took the egg when Lisana and Natsu were sleeping, wanting to help with the egg's hatching, but was too embarrassed, so he helped out secretly.

Lucy Heartphilia


Lucy Heartphilia (ルーシイ・ハートフィリア, Rūshi Hatofiria?) is the main female character of the series. She is named after The Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". She joins Fairy Tail at the start of the series, having always wanted to be a member. She is always teamed with Natsu when on a job, though the frequent battles they get involved in have left her wishing she could do an easy job by herself. Lucy is one of the saner and more stable members of Fairy Tail, often being the only one to recognize the absurdity of her teammate's actions. She is also very confident in her appearance and sexiness, exuding a certain amount of vanity. Lucy comes from a wealthy family, her father owning a large valley that serves as his estate's garden. Because she is estranged with her father, she left him and his fortune after the death of her mother so that she could follow her own path.

Lucy practices Stellar Spirit magic, a skill that allows her to summon spirits from another world using Keys of the Gates. Before she is allowed to use the key she must sign a contract with the spirit to decide upon when she is allowed to summon them. There are two types of keys: silver, which are common and of a large variety, and gold, twelve extremely rare keys that open the gates of the "Ecliptic Zodiac". Her Stellar Spirits have varying levels of power, with different ones suited for different tasks. For example, Aquarius can control water, while Taurus has enormous strength. She can summon multiple spirits (an uncommon ability) at once for short periods of time, but tires out easily when doing so. Lucy's main weakness is she cannot perform magic without her keys; although recent chapters shows Loki is able to be appear with or without being called out. Along with her keys, she also carries a whip, which she is proficient with.

Gold Keys

* Aquarius: "The Water-Bearer" is a long-haired mermaid that can only be summoned into a body of water. She is selfish and dislikes Lucy, often attacking both Lucy and Lucy's enemies with a torrent of water.
* Taurus: "The Bull" is a minotaur with a white and black splotched coat and a nose ring. He wields a giant two-bladed axe and wears a speedo. He is a pervert and constantly compliments Lucy's breasts.
* Cancer: "The Crab" is a hair stylist with crab-claw shaped hair. He has six large crab-legs that come out of his back and carries around scissors. When he is first summoned, Happy assumes that Cancer would end all of his sentences with kani (crab), but in reality, Cancer ends all of his sentences with ebi (shrimp).
* Virgo: "The Virgin" is a maid with shackles and chains around her wrists. Her ability is to tunnel underground. Her appearance reflects her current master's preference: when introduced under the ownership of another mage she looks giant and overweight, but she slims down after Lucy takes possession of her key.
* Sagittarius: "The Centaur" is a man wearing a horse costume that uses a bow and arrow. It is given to Lucy as a reward for saving Galuna Island.
* Leo: "The Lion" is actually Loki, who gives his key to Lucy after she helps him return to the spirit plain. He has regained his former powers as a stellar spirit, and is much stronger than he used to be when he was a member of Fairy Tail. Loki is also able to appear into the real world at will, without being called; he is also able to sense when Lucy is in danger, and come assist her when needed.

Silver Keys

* Crux: "The Southern Cross" is a large humanoid stone-made cross with a cross-shaped nose and mustache. He specializes in searching for information on different spirits and their masters.
* Horologium: "The Clock" is a living grandfather clock that is large enough for people to hide in. Lucy usually does this for shelter or as a mode of transportation. Once inside, Horologium speaks for her, ending every sentences with "my Mistress says".
* Lyra: "The Lyre" wears a bonnet, a dress, and has wings on her back. She sings about emotions and often likes to take requests.
* Nikola the Canis Minor: "Nikola", named "Plue" by Lucy, is apparently the same Plue from the Hiro Mashima's previous work. His only unique ability is magic cancellation, and so serves more as a pet for Lucy.

Gray Fullbuster


Gray Fullbuster (グレイ・フルバスター, Gurei Furubasutā?) is a recurring character in the series. He frequently teams up with Lucy and Natsu when they go on a mission. Natsu and Gray have a very brotherly, albeit competitive, relationship, with Natsu picking a fight with Gray whenever he says something that might be seen as insulting. Lucy theorizes that their constant fights are a natural byproduct of the magic styles, Natsu's being fire and Gray's being ice.

Gray was taught how to use ice-magic by Ur when he was a child after his parents were killed by Deliora. When Gray later attacks Deliora to seek revenge, Ur sacrifices herself to trap Deliora in ice and save Gray. During his training with Ur, Gray was forced live in a snowy region wearing nothing but his underwear in order to get accustomed to the coldness of ice. Because of this he has developed the unconscious habit of removing his clothes at inopportune times, as he is most comfortable without them. Gray is one of Fairy Tail's more talented mages, and he is able to form static formations of ice with relative ease. Unlike his fellow student under Ur, Reitei Leon, Gray uses both of his hands when forming ice since using only one hand can create unbalanced ice forms.

Erza Scarlet


Erza Scarlet (エルザ・スカーレット, Eruza Sukāretto?, sometimes romanized as "Elsa" or "Elza") is one of Fairy Tail's S-class mages. She was named after the author's short story character "Eru". She is a very strong individual and can lift things weighing several tons with great ease. Natsu, with whom she frequently teams up with when going on missions, constantly challenges Erza to fight to prove his worth, but has yet to win a battle. Erza is very stern and places great value on the rules of Fairy Tail; if someone steps out of line or is slow to do as she asks she does not hesitate to punish them, so many characters are quick to apologize if they think that they have angered her. This comes up most often when Natsu and Gray start arguing, where they are quick to stop and make up if someone mentions Erza. Erza is not without compassion, however, and will do her best to make Natsu and Gray happy, even if it means delaying their punishment until later.

As a child, Erza was one of the many slaves that constructed the Tower of Paradise. She was beaten frequently while there and eventually lost her right eye. She was eventually able to escape during a slave rebellion but was forced to leave her friends behind. Erza eventually arrived at Fairy Tail, which gave her a glass eye and armor to wear so that she would never be beaten again, leading to her title of "Titania Erza", meaning "Queen of the Fairies". Her desire for armor resulted in her "ex-quip" style of magic; with it she can instantly equip herself with a piece of armor or weapon in her vast arsenal. She has weapons and armor to fit almost any situation, and displays great proficiency with all of them, such that she can wield swords with her feet. She is talented warrior, being of comparable ability to guild leaders like Makarov.
