History Characters / FairiesOfTheShatteredMoon

** For Salem she has two. One is Serams madness which acts up whenever she gets very angry and costs her both her intelligence and many of her powers. The other is the sad fact that Fairy Tail are her old friends who gave her hope in her darkest hour and she does not want to kill them even after Summers death she only reluctantly gave her Gates permission to use lethal force.

* DramaPreservingHandicap: Both Salem and End are so powerful that even in their base forms Fairy Tails best fighters are severely outmatched by them and in their Eclipse/Eclipse Etherious Forms they become basically PhysicalGods. Combine that with both of them being very intelligent tacticians/strategists,never underestimating their opponents as well as the Gates backing them up then defeating Fairy Tail should be relatively easy for them. Fortunately for Fairy Tail they both have handicaps that keep them from fully exploiting their strength.

* AdaptationalBadass: The canon Salem's, while a capable Sorceress, threat factor is more due to her control of the Grimm and her skill at manipulating and dividing others than as a fighter. This Salem on the other hand is an outright PhysicalGod who boasts a large arsenal of very powerful magic and curses and is capable of holding her own against the likes of the Celestial Spirit King and Acnologia by herself.

The Strongest Magical Guild of Fiore a kingdom of Earthland, Team RWBY was transported to their guildhall after opening a magical book. Later on members of Fairy Tails Strongest Team begin to show up in Remnant following a ferocious battle with the White Witch.

* TheHeart: Serves as this to both Team RWBY and the New Fairy Tail managing to get both Weiss and Erza back on their feet after the events in the Grimmlands.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Serves as this to Ozpin/Ozma. In RWBY, Ozma, until he sacrificed much of his power to create the Maidens, was a superior fighter to Salem, with her immortality being the only reason she won their fight. Here, Salem has always been the more powerful of the two even when she was just a Celestial Spirit, shown by how she was able to defeat Mard Geer by herself, something he couldn't do. It gets even worse as Ozpin suffers from BadassDecay due to reincarnating into bodies with smaller origins while Salem masters more and more types of magic over the eons. In other words, Ozpin has grown weaker and weaker as the years go on while Salem has only grown stronger. She's even his superior when it comes to planning; Salme ''does'' have a plan for Remnant, albeit a [[IDidWhatIHadToDo horrifying one.]]

A former member of the White Fang Terrorist/Resistance organization. Blake defected after becoming disturbed by the direction the organization was going and decided to enroll in Beacon as a huntress. She uses Take-Over Spirit Soul Magic.

[[folder:Erza Scarlet/Scarlet Nikos]]

** Its implied that she subjected both Anna and Drizella to the same treatment.

* OhCrap: Both Anna and Drizzella are terrified when they realize that Salem is coming to Atlas despite indirectly working for her.

* WeakButSkilled: Besides Watts she is the weakest of the Gates. Her curse is probably the weakest and while her copy magic is potentially extremely powerful it requires that the person who's power she is copying Aura is deactivated. She does have a very powerful Semblance though and she later becomes the Fall Maiden giving her a significant power boost.

* AttackAttackAttack: Hazel's fighting style is very straightforward and offensively oriented. For defense he relies on his Semblence and his own immense durability. Its usually quite successful with both Wendy and Oscar barely being able to hold him off and even Gray being overwhelmed by his assault with only him unlocking his semblance at the last possible moment keeping him alive.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Hazel is pretty quiet guy for the most part. However he is also one of the most powerful of the Gates who during the Grimmlands battle overpowers Wendy and Oscar and would have killed Gray had he not unlocked his Semblance exactly when he did.

* SenselessSacrifice: What he believes his sister and all the other huntsmen and huntresses deaths in battle are due to the Grimm never ending. Its why he was ok with Summer using his cousin's name since at least it makes her death worth something.

* SandBlaster: Thanks to Scorpio he has this and combines it with Jackals power to turn every grain of sand into a bomb to devastating effect.

* AdaptationalJerkass: While most of Salem's Faction are more moral then their canon counterparts he is actually considerably worse and considering in canon he was prepared to let a whole city freeze to death thats saying something.

* TheBadGuyWins: The most cruel of Salem's Faction and arguably the biggest winner of the Atlas Arc. Watts gets everything he wanted. He got to personally kill the two men he hated most in the world Pietro and Ironwood, as well as use the later's corpse as a puppet and became Atlas's new head scientist along with gaining access to all of Pietro's work on aura transference. His only setback was Penny managing to spring Weiss. Still on the whole he is very content with his current situation.

* WeakButSkilled: Probably the weakest of the Gates as his powers are more about summoning others to fight for him (though he does get Keys ability to turn into Bane Particles). That being said he is still a Gate and its noted in the story that he could have killed all the Ace Ops himself and Penny admitted she couldn't beat him alone.

* WeakButSkilled: As she hasn't yet fully mastered her Gate powers she is this and she cant even access her Eclipse Etherious Form. Once she has been fully trained however she is very likely to become StrongAndSkilled.

An Exceed companion and best friend of Natsu. After being poisoned with Bane particles by the White Witch he and Natsu were saved by Salem which required turning him into a demon.

* VillainousUnderdog: They are by far the weakest of the three factions. They only have 3 members and none of them rank among the top 5 strongest beings on Remnant. Whats more they all have pretty poor track records. Cinder has lost almost all her fights, Mercury ''has'' lost all his fights and Emerald has only had one fight against Nora and Loke which ended without a winner.

** While her shooting Adam was more about keeping him from talking then any threat she correctly points out that your don't pause in mid battle to cry about a criminals childhood.

** Averted in regards to Anna she does end up shooting one of Cinder's friends she was only trying to shoot the weapon out of her hands and was horrified when she realized she killed her. Her heavy drinking is implied to be out of guilt for this.

* {{Invisibility}}: The basic usage of her magic is to refract light to turn targets invisible, though after some tutelage from Ozpin, she learns how to create color with her magic, paving the way for a future {{Master of Illusion}}

* CurbStompCushion: Jaune was never going to beat End but he does manage to repel several attacks. Given its End he was up against that is extremely impressive so much so that End offers him a place on the Gates.
* UnskilledButStrong: Started out as WeakButSkilled but evolved into this. After becoming a Gate and fusing with Ren his power is probably on the same level as Summer and Hazel (who outside of End are probably the strongest Gates) but the process drives him mad and his approach to battle is blow up or absorb everyone. When he goes up against Salem who is unaffected by either he predictably does poorly.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Jaune becomes a Gate making him one of the most powerful beings on Remnant. However Gray and the rest of Team JNPR disrupt his Ascension before its complete causing Aries and Franmalth minds to fuse with his driving him insane.

Uncle of Ruby and Yang and brother of Raven. Qrow was a member of Team STQR and is a member of Ozpin's Circle. He also has the ability to turn into a bird and is also considered one of the best Huntsmen on Remnant.
* BadassNormal: While he does technically have magic he its only to turn himself into a bird and has no real use in combat. He is however one of the best and most skilled huntsmen on Remnant.

Raven is the biological mother of Yang, sister of Qrow and a former member of Team STQR who deserted Ozpin's circle to lead her bandit tribe in Mistral. Her Semblance allows her to create portals to people she has emotional connections with and its later shown that she is the Spring Maiden.

[[folder:Juvia Lockheart]]

* {{Polyamory}}: Juvia tells Weiss that she has no issues with her and Gray deciding to start a relationship, as they chose to do this when they had every reason to think Juvia was dead, and goes even further to state that if they want to, she would happily accept Weiss as much as Gray.

The Salamander. Natsu is a Fire Dragon Slayer and one of Fairy Tails strongest members. He is also the younger brother of the Dark Wizard Zeref. Zeref resurrecting him is a major starting point for much of plot of the Fairy Tail manga. Unknown to Natsu when Zeref resurrected him he put his soul into the body of the demon who would one day become known as End.
* AmbiguousSituation: End claims that all of Natsu's victories and most of his power came from using the demon as a battery. End is hardly unbiased however and its unclear just how much of Natsu's success was due to End.
* AndIMustScream: Has been stuck inside Ends body unable to move or speak for ''50 years''. Its even worse as he has been forced to watch as End battles and defeats some of his closest friends like Yang, Wendy, Lucy and Erza.

* {{Invisibility}}: The basic usage of her magic is to refract light to turn targets invisible, though after some tutelage from Ozpin, she learns how to create color with her magic, paving the way for a future {{MasterofIllusion}}

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Unlike Erza Gray knows when to retreat. He only engages End to try and find away to evacuate Erza and when the demon starts to ramp up the heat he immediately flee's with her at first opportunity.

* RevengeBeforeReason: Show's this when he is initially fiercely opposed to trying to talk things over with Salem despite the fate of the world being at stake. However unlike Weiss he knows where this sort of mindset often leads having experienced it himself and reluctantly goes along with the rest of Fairy Tail in talking to Salem and urges Weiss to not let her desire for revenge control her. Unfortunately Weiss doesn't listen and like her teacher ends up hurting people she loves in her quest for revenge.

[[folder:Erza Scarlet Nikos]]

* BadassTeacher: Erza is an exceptional teacher having trained both Ruby and her daughter Pyrrha and is actually has a job as a combat teacher in Remnant.
* BerserkButton: Do no harm Pyrrha in any way or you will face her wrath. Hurting her student Ruby is also a big one.

* MasterSwordswoman: Erza is probably the greatest melee fighter in all of Remnant. Sadly, she loses this title after she is crippled by End.

* OldFriend: Too both Salem and Ozpin. With Ozpin when he was Ozma he had Loke's key for awhile and the two of them were very close friends. Salem was Loke's teacher who taught him and the other Zodiac spirits how to fight.

* {{Foil}}: For Cinder. Both she and Cinder were rendered helpless at one point of their lives and both sought power to an unhealthy degree in order to avoid this feeling. Both while intelligent can at times not think about the full consequences of their actions until it is too late something they both realize. They also both have powerful mothers who they adore. However Pyrrha does not have Cinder's trauma and rage which keeps her from becoming a villain like her Archenemy.

* TookALevelInBadass: After getting a Star Dress from the Celestial Spirit, King Lucy becomes strong enough to at least hold off End in his Etherious Form making her for a while the most powerful member of Fairy Tail.

* TrueCompanions: Members of Fairy Tail regard each other as family. This is becoming a DeconstructedTrope, however, since the under the weight of their conflict with Salem and having to deal with being trapped on Remnant, the circle of loyalty is beginning to break. Yang is the first to turn against the group.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: While a bit spoiled Ella Autumn was very kind child who despite being a high class girl growing up in the rampantly racist Kingdom of Mistral befriended multiple Faunus.

* {{Foil}}: To Yang. Yang was a huge believer in the PowerOfFriendship while Mercury was disdainful of the very idea. However Yangs experiences have caused her to give up on friendship while Mercury's have caused him to be more open to the idea.

The Gate of the Twins. Emerald was thief living in the streets of Vale before being recruited by Cinder into Salem's Faction. She has the power of Gemini and Lamy.
* OnlySaneMan: Is the only member of Cinder's group without any serious mental baggage. Unlike her two companions Emerald doesnt let anger, pride, or trauma control her actions. She is also the member who points out just how ridiculously outmatched they are by Salem and End.

* WeakButSkilled: Oscar is this he doesn't have much raw power but under Ozpin's tutelage is quite skilled at using it in the most effective manner.

* TheAce: One of the most powerful and talented magic wielder to ever live whose combat abilities put her daughters to shame. Even Salem an incredibly powerful sorceress respects Irene's skills. Were she to manifest physically the only ones stronger then her on Remnant would be End and Salem.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Serves as this to Erza and Wendy. Erza is one of Fairy Tails most powerful members but she ultimately cant measure up to her mother. Irene is capable of beating Erza in a physical fight despite not even preferring to fight like that and while Wendy is a talented enchanter Irene makes her look like an amateur in comparison.
* TheArchmage: One of the greatest wizards to ever live who repeatedly demonstrates vast knowledge of magic and created the extremely powerful Dragon Slayer form of Magic as well as Universal One the most powerful enchantment spell of all time. Even Salem herself an Archmage admires Irene's abilities.

* EasilyForgiven: Neither Wendy or Erza have any real hard feelings against her for what happened in the Alvaraz War.

* TheDragon: To Seram and Anhkseram. Unlike the Celestial Spirit King the Umbral Spirit King happily follows Ankserams orders and even seems to relish the chance to kill Sitara and has been torturing both humanity and Salem for eons at Serams command.
